OF CAMBRIA COUNTY.
BALTIMORE VS. PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia in her stately dignity, with
the incubus of the Penna. Central Rail-road
dogging her footsteps, is gradually permit
ting ber younger but more energetic rivals
to gain upon her in the race of progress.
Baltimore, aided by the enterprise and lib
erality of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, has recently established a regular
line of steamers to Bremen. She has been
enabled to do this through the liberality of
her great Railroad Company which has
subscribed half the money necessary to in
augurate the enterprise. Philadelphia with
more than double the population and wealth,
and the terminus of one of the great rail
road lines of the country has no line of
foreign steamers. Efforts have been made
time and agaiti to establish sucha line, but,
owing to the lack of enterprise ami lib
erality on thn part of tier wealthy
and corporations, have never succeeded in
establishing a permanent line of steamers
to any foreign port. Why cannot the
Penna. Central Railroad Company do as I
tnuch for Philadelphia as the Baltimore
and Ohio Company has done for Baltimore?
The Penna. Central has been the pet of
Philadelphia and of the whole state, having
been built and placed upon a sure basis by
the liberality of the city and state and now
like the generality of pets, shows its appre
siarion of the favors shown it, by the most
unparalleled ingratitude. Managed in a
spirit of supreme selfishness it is willing to
sacrifice all the best interests of the 6tate
that nurtured it and its chief city to which j
it owes so much, to the one idea of grasping
ail the outstdc railroad world, in order to '
pour wealth into the coffers of its close- s
fisted managers and stockholders. In order
to accomplish this it went to Harrisburg
iast winter, and asked ami received the
privilege of increasing its capital stock $35,-
000,000. Did it give ten or twenty millions
pf this toward establishing a foreign line of
steamers for Philadelphia or for the buil
ding of branch or mainline railroads to con
tribute to the prosperity of either the city of
Philadelphia or state of Pennsylvania? Net
one cent was given toward either. Bat in
stead perhaps, a hundred thousand dollars
were spent in occupying the route of the
C'onnellsville and Southern Pennsylvania
Railroad, in order to prevent the building
ofaroadon that route by any other com
pany. That is a hundred thousand dollars
were spent by this tyranieal monopoly to
prevent a lhtc of road being built, that would
develop one of the richest mineral sections
of the state and pour increased business,
wealth and population into Philadelphia and
largely promote the prosperity of the whole
state. What thanks did the people of the
state receive; anyevtaencc or gratitude tor
their liberality in thus extending the privi
leges of the Central Railroad ? >n the con
trary they are taxed in freights and passen
ger fare over the central Railroad far
heavier in proportion than parties out
side of the state and made, in great part to
pay the expense of keeping the monopoly's
Vine in repair, so that they can carry outsi
ders and their freights at rates far below
what the patient citizens of the state are
made to pay. The result of this policy is
that throughout the state, wherever the
people are obliged to patronize the mo
nopoly, they find that freights, in many in
stances, cost as much or more to-day, from
Philadelphia, then they did when goods
were carried westward in Conestoga wag
ons. It is not much to be wondered at,
therefore, that many peot i begin to imag
ine that the boasted advantages of railroads
are not so great an improvement on the old
methods of transportation after all. Such
arc the results of having imposed upon us
a grand, greedy, grasping, selfish mo
nopoly. When will the people of Philadel
phia awake to their interests and shake off
the yoke of Central Railroad tyrranny?
When she does so, and co-operates with the
rest of the state in making all corporations,
and especially this grand monopoly, the
servants, instead of the grinding and tvrani
cal masters of the people, she may hope to
take the place she deserves to occupy among
the great cities of the nation. Until then,
driven away by illiberality, selfishness and
lack of enterprise, the business of the state
will continue to seek other and more liberal
and promising centres of trade.
TERRORISM IN THE SOITH.
Our Democratic brethern would have the
people believe that the South would be a
ptuicvv imiouin) u owvu
Pope, Sickles, Sheridan&c., were kept away.
General Hancok has had several months
control of the Southwest trying to carry out
a different policy from that of the before
mentioned heroes with what results is in
dicated in the following article from the
Pittsburg Chronicle of a few days ago:
The dispatches which we published in
yesterday's issue, relative to the brutal mur
der of Hon. George W. Ashbvrn, of Co
lumbus, Georgia, by a gang of villains in dis
guise, and the breaking up of a Republican
meeting at Valdosta, Georgia, by a band of
regulators of the Ku-Klux Klan, come at
the heels of mnch similar information
through letters and newspapers, and show
that in portions of the South, a reign of ter
rorism is in actnal operation. It verily
seems that these ill-fated people are moved
by some malignant fatality to thwart all
efforts which look towards their gradual
restoration to order and prosperous enter
prise. Not satisfied with opposing every
political measure that has been devised to
enable them to get out of the dreadful
slough in which they were left upon the
suppression of the rebellion, they are actu
ally engaged in the suicidal business of
convulsing society so utterly by lawlessness,
as to put a complete quietus upon the views
and schemes ol all those adventurous North
ern capitalists, who had begun seriously to
meditate risking their families and fortunes
m the South.
There is no truth more manifest than
that the Southern people cannot extricate
themselves from poverty and business stag
nation withont aid from tho North. The
appeal lately made in behalf of Gen. LEE'S
Collage, shows that they cannot sustain even
an educational institution without foreign
aid. But the wide spread torpor and misery
that rest like crushing shadows upon every
department of labor and industry, can never
be expelled unless capital and fresh muscle
and enterprise from other qaarters come ID
to impart life and energy, and stimulate the
desponding population. So important awl
so palpable is this fact, that not long since a
leading journal in Richmond, \ irginia, kepi
up for weeks an urgent editorial invitation
to Northern men to come on with their
money and'buy lands, and mills ana fac
tories, and start once more the wheels of
labor, assuring them ola warm and cordial
reception, and denouncing as vile slanders
the reports that they would encounter risk
of persoflal violence.
It is not pleasant for us to be com polled to
state that at present, in many Southern
States, it would he unsafe for a Northern
man to buy property and attempt to carry
on any fanning or manufacturing enter
prise. We have never gone out of our way
to give added circulation to the prejudicial
stories that are periodically current about
the South. Whenever we could, consist
ently with the truth, present the brightside
of the picture, we have cheerfully done so.
But it is, in our judgment, perfectly clear
from the accumulated information which
poors in upon us, that, notwithstanding the
cheerfwi fancies of such military optimists
as General HANCOCK, there is an immense
amount of crime perpetrated in Tennessee,
Georgia, Texas, and portions of Arkansas
and Missouri. How far it would be possible
to curb these excesses by military power we
cannot deter mine. It is probably impossible
to keep perfect order over so wide an area
and amongst a population so thoroughly
demoralized bv a long and unsuccessful war.
\ ears will elapse before ai.j-UGnir bearing
the faintest semblance to the orderly ana
regulated institutions of the North will
prevail. Then will slowly set in a desirable
immigration, and the wasted and cursed
South will begin to recover, to get strength,
to enjoy the BLESTIDGS of law, and to reap the
fruits of sensibly directed industry.
EDUCATIONAL ENDOW MENTIS.
We arc indebted to the courtesy of an
unknown friend for a copy of the PhUadd
phut Evtmny JiuUetiu containing a somewhat
leDgthy notice of the donation of $20,000, by
John A. Brown. Esq, of Phildealpliia, to
Lafayette College, at Easton, Pa. Beside
the present, this institution has recently
been the fortunate recipient of a number of
handsome douations. Thelargestof these was
$220,tH)0 made by Mr. Pardee. A number of
other citizeus of the State have given sums
from $20,000 to $25,000 toward
its emhwiuent We always delight to
record contributions toward building
up and increasing the number and
efficiency of our institutions of learning.
On the education of our people depends
the stability of our froc institutions, and
men of wealth can do nothing that will con.
tribute more to the glory of the state and
the welfare of her people than to contribute
liberally of their means to promote the
efficiency and permanency of our educational
institutions. We also approve of concen
trating, to a certain extent, offorts of this
kind! upon a few good schools rather
than upon a great many indifferent ones.
While, therefore, we are gratified to re
cord this last act of beaeficenee, we feel
constrained to call the attention of the
public to a matter of both state and national
interest. We mean Pennsylvania College
at Gettysburg. Will not some of our mil
lionaires donate a few hundred thousand
or a million of dollars to rear an educational
institution uu mis nxsunic giuuui, m-*
shall be not only an honor to the state but
to the nation? What titter place in all onr
wide land to send our sons to learn lessons
of wisdom, and patriotism at the same time,
than that on which our national liberties
were for the third time rescued from the
enemies of free institutions? Gettysburg is
already enblazoned on the pages of history
as one of the great battle-fields of the world.
Its name will be surrounded with a halo
of glory, and pilgrimages will be made
to Cemetery hill and Round Top from
all parts of the world, while the human
heart continues to thrill with the inspi
rations of freedom, and honor to be
rendered to the men who sealed their
devotion to its principles with their life
blood on its hardly contested field. Penn
sylvania College already ranks among the
first educational institutions in the state
having had almost twice as many students
as Lafayette in 18G7 and being exceeded by
only three others in the State. But this is
not sufficient: occupying as it does a central
position between the North and the South,
easy of access and of historic fame, as a
matter of national and statu pride, it should
be made the first of the kind in the nation.
We hope yet to see our Alma Muter oc
cupy this proud position and to hear her
named among the great schools of the
world. Who will inaugurate the good
work ? What shall wc hear from Philadel
phia ? Noted for her patriotism during the
war, will sho not give at least as much to
ward a matter of national interest and pride
as she has done for places of less note?
GOV. GEARY AND THE TREE RAIL
ROAD LAW.
Some of the more unscrupulous of our
copperhead cotcmporaries have endeavored
to throw blame on Gov. Geary for vetoing
me iiim nee lamuu vn ao n was passed.
They doubtless have weighty reasons for
thus aiding the monopoly. Gov. Geary
made a noble stand in behalf of the people
by vetoing the first bill, which every one
knows was so modified by the Senate after
being passed by the House, as to suit the
wishes of the Central Railroad Company,
the bill was then given in charge of a com
mute of conference where the Senate
amendments were acceded to and the bill in
this shape, as passed by the Senate, was
forced through the House and sent to the
Governor. There were two points on which
he based his veto, one that the bill contain
ed provisions not relevant to the subject
stated in the title and was therefore uncon
stitutional; the objectionable provisions
were interpolations by the agents of the
monopoly allowing any existing railroad
company to increase its capital without
limit; the other objection was that tho bill
was entirely too stringent in its exactions to
meet the wants of the people and that
more liberty should be allowed. When the
veto was sent to the House another bill
was immediately passed, we believe unani
mously, obviating the objectionable features
of the former one, it was promptly sent to
the Senate where it was also passed and
has since been signed by the Governor. So
that instead of being blamed for his courage
in vetoing a free-railroad bill, doctored to
suit the Central Railroad Companys views,
ho deserves the thanks of the people for
giving them a law such as they have been
asking ior. If he had signed the first bill
with its-ei'ieptionable feature* we would now
bo saddle 1 with a nominal free railroad law
and yet be unablo to build roads because of
its rest! ictions. We have not yet seen the
bill but are credibly informed that under it
there w ill no longer be any hindrance in our
laws to building railroads anywhere in the
State. We hope it is so and that the peo
ple will once more be free to build roads
where they please and tind them conducive
to their interests, limited only by then
! ability to raise the necessary money. Gov.
' Geary has been true to his promises not
! withstanding tho false assertions of his
I Copperhead enemies, aud will receive the
thanks of the people for his faithfulness.
INK LVSCH'B UKADUALIIESIJJMP
TION HLAM.
Mr. Lynch of Maine has pending in the j
House of Representatives a plan for
gradually resuming specie payments.
Briefly stated, it consists in issuing from the
Treasury coupon bonds to the amount of
$300,000,000 of denominations of SIOO and
upward, bearing interest at four per cent,
payable Quarterly in lawful money, and
making these and greenbacks reciprocally
convertible into each other at the pleasure
of the holder; after the Ist of May next, all
United States legal tender tigtes received by
the United States, say $1*0,000,000 per
year, or $15,000,000 pci uiunth, ro to
retired and destroyed, and in their stead
notes payable one year from date, in coin,
are to be issued to all creditors to whom
legal tenders have heretofore been paid.
By the Ist of May, 1869, $180,0*10,000 in
coin notes would have taken the place of
the present greenbacks, having been paid
out for salaries, Government contracts,
currency interest, and all expenses of the
Government. These notes will conic due at
the rate of half a million of dollars a day
during the year 1869, and are to be redeemed
in gold. By repeating the same operation
for 1809 and IS7O, the whole issue of green
backs now outstanding would have been con
verted into demand notes, and would be
redeemable in gold by May 1, 1871. Mr.
Lynch says that he firmly believes that the
presentation and redemption of the first •
$15,000,000 of these notes would so estab
lish public confidence as to reduce the i
premium on gold to a nominal figure. 'The
difference between the plan and that of i
immediate resumption is that it limits the
amount of notes which can be presented to
the Government for redemption to half a
million of dollars per day after one year
from the Ist of May next. As oar gold
receipts from customs amount to about a
third of a million a day, it is thought that so
gradual a run on the Treasury for its gold
could be successfully met uutil the public
confidence had so far improved as to reduce
the premium on gold to a nominal figure,
when specie payment would be resumed by
the banks and the people voluntarily. Mr.
Lynch's plan is one of the most thoughtful
of the gradual plans of resumption yet
advanced. —. Tribune.
TUE ELECTIONS.
Our copperhead contemporaries have re- j
v.cuily been exemplifying inc om j
drowning men catch at straws. Beyond re- ;
cording their old majorities in a few local
'elections and heralding them abroad as
"great re-actions," "glorious victories" &c., 1
they have had nothing to cheer their drooping
spirits until the barren victory of Connecticut.
Barren victory we call it because—though they
carried the Governor by 1735 of a majority,
an increase of about 700, it was done by the
increased vote of a few large towns, where
there are reported to have been extensive
frauds committed. The charge of frauds is
further substantiated by the fact that while
the Govenor has been elected by the cop- '
perhcads, the Republicans have carried the '
legislature by an increased majority. Tiie J
victory in fact is worse than barren, it is an
absolute defeat, for while they have elected j
the Governor for one year, we have gained
the legislature which will elect a I nited .
States Senator for six years, to fill the place j
of the renegade Dixon whose term expires on ;
the 4lh of March next. The ostensible re
joicing over snch mythical victories as this is j
but a mockery of mirth, a whistling to keep ;
their courage up. Yet with this single ex
ception no election this year, in which there
has been anything more than a local issue, has
gone copperhead. The special election for I
Congressman in Ohio, the fierce struggle in :
New Hampshire, later the election in gallant
little Übode Island, where we increased our
majority nearly 3000, and now Wisconsin,
have all gone Republican. Verily if the
elections are to be relied on the much
talked of 4 're-action" of our copperhead
brethren is yet to come. The people are
indicating their approval of Impeachment as
well as of the whole course of the Republican
party by the unmistakable test of the ballot
box.
THE AMERICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY
is making an earnest on>nl f,> r tnnnev tn
wtv-a.. :.. lAocrta more than two thousand
frecdman who want to go there. Four
thousand frecdmcn have petitioned Congress
to send them to Liberia, or to give the
Colonization Society the means to send
them. Some of their petitions have been
published, and also some letters from them,
from all of which we judge they are persons
of some intelligence, good character, and
earnest in their desire to emigrate. They
are poor and unable to pay their expen-os.
Many of them have friends in Liberia.
They arc all needed there —and an they want
to go there, it seems desirable that they
should be assisted. Tho Society's ship is
expected to sail first of May aad can carry
six hundred and fifty cf them. Donations
should therefore be made at once and sent
in sums, large or small, to Rev. W. Me
Lain, D. D., Financial Secretary, American
Colonization Society, Washington, D. C.
MR. GOLDWIN SMITH IS COMING.— Mrs
Goidwin Smith, to correct inaccurate report,
that are afloat, writes from Oxford, Eng
land: "I am going to devote myself to
the study, and, if after due study I feel
equal to the task, to the composition of
American history. With this view I shall
probabjy take up my abode in the United
States in the course of tho present summer.
My undertaking necessarily implies a pro
longed residence in the country where it
oust be carried on. But lam not going to
seek naturalization in America, or to cast off
my allegiance to ipy own Sovereign and my
native laqd."
IN view of the frauds developed in the
Senatorial contested election case just con
eluded, and ofthe frauds proven in the
contested election cases in Philadelphia,
and of the fact that the immense Dctno
cratie vote in the Luzerne and Schuylkill
mining districts, is now known to have
been cast on false naturalization papers, is
it not a piece of impudence in Judge Sbars
wood to remain on tho Supremo Bench.
There is not a doubt that Judge Williams
was fairly elected, that be had a majority of
the legal vote cast, and that he should cow
be on the Bench ofthe Supreme Court. If
George Sharswood is the man of honor he
is claimed to be, be should blush to hold a
place which nine out of every ten honest
men in the State beliefs was secured for
him by the frauds of liispai tizan supporters.

THE STREETHAII.KOAPS OF PAUL-.—' This
kind of Hail wry is attracting a good deal of
attention in Pads. The companies howev
er. are compelfld to lay down a flat rail,
with a projectbn in the middle, which keeps
the grooved wheel of the ear in place.
Carriages arc thus not incommoded in the
least by the railroad. Here a railroad track
makes it very inconvenient to drive a ear
rage through the areet in which it i- laid.
The rail is a deep groove into which the
earrage-wheel drops, and from which it is
extracted only at the risk of braking the
wheel or tho axle.

It was expected that the managers would have J
included (Jrai t and Stanton among their !

they commit the grossest blunder, there is no ]
redress except by a criminal prosecution.
