Omttltullonul Amendment.
A corrodpoiidciit of tho Nuw Ybtk
Sun lmi recently liad n long Interview
with Asa Pucker, from which wo mnko
ns many extracts tliN morning ns our
fipaco perm its':
Mauch Chunk, Ph., Sent. 7tli. Way
up In thoantliracltoco ii region of Penn
sylvania, where tho picturesque Lehigh
river forced IU way through tho nar
rowest gorgo ol tho Uluo mountains,
nestles tlio town of 'Mauch Chunk.
Asa Packer, the favorllo of tho demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania, Is tho nmn
of marj: who residea In this town. In
It, nml yet isolated from it. Asa Pack
er Is a man of tho people Asn Pucker's
home is the home of Asa Packer's fami
ly. Tho ono helongs to tlio many ; the
other to the one. Wlillti the homo is
in Muuck Chunk, it is distinct from
Mauch Chunk as distinct from the
town na the green oasis of tho hroad,
sandy plains ofSahara, Is from the dos
crt itself. Tho homo Is tho abodo of
elegance, refinement, luxury, nnd case
It monopolizes a commanding point on
tho hillside, whorowoalth has dug out
it plain, and huilt terniciM, and planted
rare llowcrs, and cultivated choice
shruhliery, anil in tip) midst of this gar
den has reared n princely mansion nnd
adorned its interior with costly ftirul
turo,capacious shelves lined with books,
elegant pictures, nnd fre-icoes, Statuary,
nnd other works of art. This is tho
homo of Aw Pncker,locate(l in llio town
of tho coal miners, yet. contrasting In
every respect so conspicuously with tho
homes adjoining and surrounding It
And hero Asn Packer's family lives.
THE STOIIY OF THE MAN OF MAU1C.
Hut who Is Asa Pneker?
A poor carpenter from Connecticut,
leaving his nntivo State in pursuit of
employment ; a busy, bustling, prosper
ous merchant in tho wilds of Pennsylva
nia; an enterprising, pushing, adven
turous operator in now schemes for the
development of his adopted Stato; a
great and successful coal miner; n foun
der of banks; a railroad king; n man of
untold wealth, tho result of honest toll,
prudent living, nnd n sagacity unsur
passed. Such is Asa Packer.
A MAN OF THE PEOPLE.
"Mr. Packer, will you rido downV"
said tlio omnibus driver, reining up to
the sidewalk, as ho noticed tho great
man witli his satchel headed toward the
depot.
"No, I thank you; I can walk," was
tho reply.
"Belter hurry then," said tho driver,
"time's most up."
"Oh, I'll catch tho train ; there's ten
minutes yet."
"Judge, let mo carry your satchel,"
said tho pompous country squiro, rush
ing up and clutching tiio baggage of tho
great man.
"Oh, no; I call carry it. It ain't
heavy," replied Asa Packer; hut tho
bag, never! lielcss, was wrenched from
his hand.
"Otrngaln, JudgoV" said thu atl'ablo
merchunt, as ho rushed out from his
storo to shake hands with tho domestic
stranger.
"Yes ; I've got to run up tho road
apiece."
"Well good luck to you."
"Judge Packer," hald I, abandoning
all expectations of securing a more fa
vorable opportunity, "I hnvo inado n
diligent search for you, nnd run n long
ehaso after you, but I do not soo as I
cnu run you down in private. Hore Is
u note that will both introduco mo and
explain my visit." And I hnndod the
groat man a letter with which I had
been favored by u personal friend of the
man of mark.
Tho Judge why ho is called "Judge"
I do not know read tlin letter careful
ly. Ho pondered over it. lie studied
it. lie seemed lo bo weighing tho
words of which it was composed. Final
ly lm seemed lo ho satisfied with it, und
turning asnilliiig facoupon mohn said :
"I am in somewhat of it hurry to
catch tho 112 o'clock train. It lacks ten
minutes of tho time now. If you will
walk (o tho depot with mo wo can talk
on tlio way."
Now, tho illstanco from tho centre of
llio (own of Munch Chunk to tho depot
of the Lehigh Valley road Is not very
great, nor Is leu minutes much tlmo In
which to dlseussthogreiiLpoliticnWiues
tions of tlio day. Rut ns "half it loaf 'is
better than no bread," I nccoptctl tho
proposition witli thanks, determined to
mako tho inu.it of tho opportunity, nt
tho same tlmo dispatching a messenger
to my hotel with n bank noto to liqui
date my hill, ami an order for my
satchel, so as to bu prepared to follow
up the opportunity If It promised well.
1'llllSlSTF.NCi: OF THE SUN COiIUF-SPON-DENT.
"How far north aro yoii;golng,JudgeV"
I asked, iu breathless haste.
"I'm going up Into Susquehanna," ho
replied,
"How far cn I go on IhU train and
get back in limn to catch thu Nov York
train to-night?"
"To Wilkcsbnrro,"
"How long does It lako to go to
Wllktsbarro?"
"About threo hours."
"Very well; then I'll get on tho train
with you, and wo can talk its wo go
nlong."
"Aa you please," replied tho Judge,
"we'll get. n bom d ut onco then," and
suiting the action to tlio word, wo wero
both soon heated In u comfortably filled
cur, though wo wero foituuato in been
ring two vacant seats. Tho engine
gave n parting shriek, tho brakes wero
unloosid and the train sped nwny.
Jt'Ddll I'ACKEH'S Hl'SINESS va HIS
POLITICS.
JunuE Packeu For u number of
years past, ns you tiro probably nwiiro,
my private iitl'alra and tho business of
thu company with which I nni eon net t
td have ussunud ftu extent and linpor
1869.

tnneo to monopolize, nenrly my entire
tlmo and attention, forbidding mo tlio
opportunity to dovoto to current politi
cal questions' Ihu attention I would llko
lo'havo given thorn : and nowlro-entcr
publls life not by my own wish but nt n
sacrlflco Of personal Interests, iu order
to gratify my very partial friends, and
In obedienco to what I concclvo to bo
tho demands of my fellow-cltlzens nnd
thu public. For theso reasons I must
confess myself not fully prepared tu
discuss tho general issues Involved In
national politics, but such opinions us I
hold you' and tho public nro wclcomo to.
DIDN'T WANT THE NOMINATION
Repouteh Do I understand you to
say, Judgo Packer, that you did not as
pire to tho Gubernatorial nomination?
Judoe Packeii Distinctly so, I nev
er havo changed the position I took in
my Chambersburg letter, which was
that, while I had no aspirations for tho
olllco of Governor, yet if tho nomina
tion should bo voluntarily tendered mo
by my fellow citizens, I would, feel It
my duty to accept, although at tlio sa
crlflco of my personal interests. I have
always held that 'tho Stnto and my
country havo claims paramount to mero
personal considerations.
THE lllTTEUNESS OF THE CANVASS.
ItEPOtiTEn Are you devoting much
of your tlmo to tho cnuvnss?
Junau I'ACKKn Rut very .Utile. Tho
question of my election now rests with
my fcllow-cltizons. I supposo that tho
party that has placed mo In nomination
will make all my merits known If I havo
any, while tho party opposing mo will
certainly not fall to mnko my demerits
known. I am somewhat wedded to tho
antiquated notion thai tho ofllco should
seek tlio man, not the man llio olllce.
Repouteh I observe that tho can
vass opens with something of personal
bitterness iu it.
Juixie Paciceii If so, it must bo
wholly on tho other side. So far ns I am
concerned, or my friends who may bo
influenced by my wishes, everything of
a personal naturo is and will bo rigo
ously avoided. Wo hnvo no desiro to
nssnil tho character of tho chief execu
tive of tho Commonwealth, much less
tho reputation of a soldier. Rut tho of
ficial acts of an administration nro le
gitimate subjects of criticism.
THE flltOUNDWOKK OF THE TIGHT.
REPoitTEit Wliat aro tho leading
features of Governor Geary's tulralnls
tration with which you take issuo?
J uikie Packek Tho financial policy
of that administration lias not tended to
strengthen tho credit of tho Stato to tho
extent it might havo done, as the re
ports of tho Stato Treasurer during tho
last threo years, in the item of receipts,
show that at least twico tho amount of
public debt might havo been liquidated
that has been. Tho largo balance re
muining iu tho Treasury from year lo
year, amounting to about two millions
of dollars, should havo been appropria
ted to tho payment of so much of tho
public debt. All wcll-couducted and
successful privato corporations, as for
instance, tho railroad witli which I am
identified, make it a matter of economy
to appropriate promptly all their avail
able surplus funds to tho extinguish
ment of their indebtedness, thus saving
largo sums lu interest money ; or if that
is not needed, they usu their means iu
thu improvement of their facilities lor'
business. In my opinion the lluanclal
affairs of tlio Commonwealth should be
administered by those to whom they
nro intrusted upon tho same prlnclplo
that they bhould govern these privato
affairs. No individual possessed of largo
menus woultl bo considered wiso or
sagacious did ho allow any cousiderablo
portion of his money to Ho idlo In Ills
haiids. Such a policy Is not merely
open toccnsurouponbuslnessprlnciplcs,
but Is contrary to tho injunctions of the
Scripture, that we should mnko diligent
uso of tlio means instrusted to us.
REPOKTEH--I understand you to mean,
Judge Pneker, that the samo rule that
has governed you through llfo lu your
privato a HUlis nnd ministered to your
success, you would apply to tho man
iigomcnt of tho affairs of tho Stato wero
they intrusted to you?
Judoe Packeii Most certainly I do.
I maniigo my railroad itlliiirs precisely
ihosamoas if itioy wero wholly my
own. I would manage the t-jtatu muirs
upon I ho same principles. The samo
rule that hits given mo personnl success
in life lias made my railroad n success,
und would undoubtedly mako the ml
ministration of (he Stnto n success.
DISTltUIUTI'. THE SPOIIi WITH UlfllD
l.CONOMV.
ItKPOKTEit Rut, Judge, you havo no
party favorites (o rewnrd, or party pau
pers to provldo for, in tlio management
of your own affairs, or thosu of your
railroad.
Julian Packek Tho public scrvlco
requires numerous officers. It Is per
fectly proper, In filling thoso offices, for
thu appointing power to select its own
friends nnd supporters. Rut In bo doing
there should ho no greater number np
pointod than is absolutely necessary.
Why tlio Stato should ho called upon to
afford sinecures to political drones morn
than u mero corporation surpasses my
comprehension. As I said lu my letter
of acceptance, tho expenses of the Stato
government bhould bu reduced to thu
lowest practicable point, thereby lessen
ing tho burdens and taxation of thu
people.
THE I'AUDONINO POWEK-CLASS LEGIS
LATION.
Repukteu Aro theso tlio only ques
tions Involved iu this canvass?
Juixie Packek No. Thuruare two
others, which I regard as of paramount
Importaiu'o to tho nafety of tlio citizen
mill the vlrtuo of the State. 1 refer to
tho Indiscriminate use of thupaidoning
power and epcclal or class legislation.
Whiio the one Is an incentive to crliim
unless cautiously ami sparingly used,
tho other engenders corruption iu thu
State, whereby tho nnmo of legislator
becomes n reproach, Against these evils,
reaching a magnitude that has cast u
dark bhadow over thu State, every good
citizen should protest.
Repouteh How would you remedy
theo ovilsT
. 1 1. ' .
DEM.-VOL. XXXIII NO. 31.
J 1)1)01'. Paciceu I would cxerclso
clemency only whero doservcd,atid upon
tlio clearest showing, and would nut
hesitata to exercise the executive pre
rogative of tho veto against nil special
legislation that is conceived or enncted
lu a corrupt spirit, or that can bo cover
ed by general luws. In your own Stato
of Now York you hnvo had somo experi
ence of tho evils of this class of legisla
tion, and the extent to which it can bo
carried ; and tho present eminent exe
cutive of that Stato has shown what in
fluence n Governor may exert in coun
teracting and checking this ovll, which
ic even greater with us than with you.
THE IIAILUOAI) MONOPOLY.
IlEPoitTEu Do not thu vast railroad
corporations of tills State virtually cre
ate a greataud powerful monopoly; find
docs not this monopoly exert an tindtio
liiliiicucu upon tho legislation of the
Stnto?"
Judge Pack tut They inight ereato
A monopoly dangerous to tho Stato but
for tho spirit of competition for tho trade
of the Wust and the Pacific coast, as
well as that of our own Shite, which is
so great and steadily Increasing, tend
ing to it diffusion rather than a consoli
dation of power. And to this end the
Stato inny vory properly and safely fos
ter and encourage tho extension nnd
completion, by necessary branches, of
these trunk roads. No other Inllucnco
can bo so potential in tho development
of tho resources of tho Stale as such
lines of improvement. Rich as wo aro
in our great mineral deposits, they
would avail us litllu without tlio means
of transportation. Roing promptly
identified with ono of those lines of
road, It may bo supposed Hint I speak
as u railroad man, and Iu the interests
of the railroads alone. Rut I am con
fldeiil that no consideration growing
out of such n relation could warp my
Judgment.
the judoe down on the chinamen.
Repouteh. I obscrvo that tho Phll-
ndclnhht rrcss, tho Korth American,
nnd oilier Journals, advocate tlio intro
duction of cooly labor into tills country.
What i.s your opinion of tho prospects
of success of such amovement, and what
would bo Its effect?
Judge Packeii (smiling) Now you
are taking mo from Pennsylvania over
to China. But I have no hesitation in
saying that I think tho introduction of
tho labor you refer to would pauperize
tho whlto labor of tho country. Whilo
our whlto labor is paid so poorly at tho
best, tho influx of such a race as tho
Chiueso would bo most disastrous. Tlio
introduction of such it race among our
white laborers would deprive labor of
its dignity by lessening its fair remuner
ation, breed political dissensions more
serious than those created by tlio Afri
can race, and set up it religious system
utterly at variance with tho prevalent
Christian sentiment of tho country. I
do not look upon this question simply
as (lie introduction of Chinamen hero
and there as ordinary emigrants, but as
a concerted and systematized govern
ment to supplant the whlto labor of the
country. Against such efforts tho civ
ilized mid Christianized white raco of
this country should unitedly protest.
A DttE.MC.
"Wilkesbarre," shouted tho brakes
man, thrusting his head into thu door
of tho cur."
"Really Judge," I remarked, "tho
tlmo haspasscd more rapidly than I had
supposed,aud I am nut half through the
topic I had charged my mind witli."
"Well, sir," ha replied, "lhavosome
business that will occupy mo hero for a
few hours, and then I proceed farther
north, l tlo not see now i can sparo
you more time at present."
"Rut when can I see you again?" I
asked. "I do not llko to leave tho in
terview hnlf finished."
"I shall bo nt homo tho middle of tho
week, nml will meet yon thero then nnd
converso with you further with pleas
ure." "Thank you, sir, I will bo happy to
meet you, and will wait your pleasure."
And so we parted.
Tin: man or makk in his home.
It was several days before wo met
again. Tho great man was called hlth
er und thither in uttor disregard of his
own convenience or his appointment
with inc. At last I found him alono iu
his convenientllbrnryat .Mauch Chunk,
enjoying a Saturday evening with his
hooks ami his private nftairs. I hesitat
ed to disturb this unusual quietness,
but ho pleasantly bid mo enter and bo
seated, apologizing for tho unexpectedly
protracted Interruption in our inter
view. "Rut," ho added, "I can eomponsato
you for It now by promising uu exclu
sive ovenlng. I do not know that the
Hun or tho world will lie greatly bono
fitted by any Ideas I muy hnvo to offer,
hut if thero nro any other topics you
would like to discuss I will Join you
freely."
I read over to him the commencement

A VOLI.EV AT THE FI1TEENTH AMEND
MENT.
Repouteh Tho republicans do not
refer lo tho Fifteenth Amendment Iu
their platform for this canvass. Is not
that amendment an Issue Iu tho contest?
Judge Packeii Tho republican par
ly seem to treat tjmt ns n settled ques
tion so far ns Pennsylvania Is concern
ed, refusing to let it come before tlio
people for tnelr determination. 1 havo
uiy own opinions ns to thu manner lu
which that amendment should have
been passed upon. I think a.iy amend
ment Hiiu tins, which virtually cliauges
thu Constitution of thu Statu, should
havo been presented to tho people for
their approval us provided iu our Stato
organic law, and should havo emanated
from a convention culled on thonnnllca-
tlou of tho legislatures of two-thirds of
llio several blulcs us tirovlucu lu Uiu
Federal Constitution, A question of
such vital Importance should bo de
termined by tho people or by their
renretientntlves elected for that nurnoso.
Thu question of suffrage Is one that tho
original founders of thu gcnor.il Gov
ernment wisely retrained irom delegat

the control of tho several sovereign
States thoro presented. That control
has never been delegated to the General

Government, (he assumption of it by
the Nathuial Legislature is uu arbitrary
exerciju of. power, subversive of tho
whole prlnclplo upon which tlio Gov
ernment was founded; nnd so fearful
was the republican party that tho peo
ple of thoNorthern States, whoso loyid
ty had never been questioned, would
bellovo that they Intended this gross
Innovation on their rights, that In their
platform adopted by their National
Convention at Chicago lu 1SC3. thev de
clared that tho question of suffrage In
the Northern States was to ho deter
mined only by tho pooplo of tho respec

permitted tho people of any Stato lo

South, whero they have madotho adop

A SLIGHT EVASION.
Rr.PoitTEn -ThoSouthcrnStntesliav-ing
adopted tills amendment, as you
Intimate, undar coercion, ought tho ne
groes in those States to ho doprlved of
tho ballot?
Judge Packeu The question of suf
frage, as 1 havo said, belongs to the
peoiilo of tlio States respectively: and
while Alabama has no right to interfere
with Pennsylvania in determining this
matter, Pennsylvania has no more right
to Interfere with Alabama. Ono State
has no right to coerce another into the
adoption or tho rejection of such a
measure, either by tho opinion of Its
people or the votes of Its Senators and
representatives In Congress.
FEMALE SUFI'IIAGE.
Repouteh Is femalo suffrage agi
tated lo any extent in Pennsylvania?
Judge Packeii Rut very lillle,nnd
with no apparent earnestness. Tho
women of tills State, .so far as my
knowledge extends, abstain entirely
from nny action on Hits question. They
prefer to fill the mcasuro of Solomon's
description of n virtuous woman, that
"Strength nnd honor nro her clothing.
Sho openeth her mouth with wisdom,
nml In her tonguolstho law of kindness.
Sho lookcth well to tho ways of her
household, and cateth not tho bread of
Idleness. Her children nrlso up and
call her blessed ; her husband, nlso,aud

the eight hour law.
Repouteh Aro you in favor of tlio
eight hour labor law?
Judoe Packer I f.tvor all move
ments that tend to tho amelioration of
the condition of the laboring man, ami
they havo my most cordial co-operation,
As I said in my letter of acceptance,
"having earned my bread by tlio labor
of bands during many, and I may add,
tho happiest years of my life, and ow
ing wliatover I possess (under the prov
idence of God) lo patient nnd honest
toll, 1 can never be unmindful of thu
Interests of those with whom my entile
life has been associated."
WON'T TALK ON SUNDAY.
Repobtisk I beg your pardon if I
trespass on your time, sir.
Judge Packeu I am perfectly wil
ling to sparo you so much tlmo us may
be necessary to discuss questions iclat
ing to the c-unpaign in this State, and
to that extent you need not consider
yourself trespassing. Beyond that I
Iiavo at present no tlmo to spare, with
out encroaching on tho Sabbath, which
I will not do.
llEPoiiTEit I sco It annouueed that
General Grant is expected to spend
some tlmo iu this Stato during tho cam
paign. Will ids presence give any con
siderable inspiration to the republican
party ?
GE.V. GRANT'S VIOLATION OF PENNSYL
VANIA LAW.
Judge Packer If Gen. Grant, un
mindful of tho dignity of his great of
llco, and tho proprieties of his position,
comas into this Stnto with tlio avowed
purpose of Influencing voters, which 1
do not believe ho will, I believe the
good sense of tho people will resent the
itllront. li no comes to seeK pleasure
and recreation from tho burdensome
cares nml close confinement to tho du
ties of his official position, I know no
more suitable place than tho valleys,
mountains, nnd sparkling trout streams
of tills State,
Thu Jutlgo smiled Knowingly In tins
connection, while tho reporter thought
ho sasv tho keen edge of a razor some
where near.)
IlF.i'OUTEit Is 11 true, as reported,
that General Grant violated tho statutes
of this State, when here last month, in
fishing In the streams of M'Kean coun
ty? Judge Packer It is currently re
ported; hut I know nothing of the fact.
Reporter Is August ono of tho
mouths In which trout fishing Is pro
hibited by yourbtatutes?
Judge Packer It Is. 1 believe Gen
Grant's friends reliovu him from any
wilful violation of tlio law, ho being Ig
norant of any such statutes. If you will
pardon the siniile.tho President was lint
a llsh out of water.
Reporter Might not Gen. Grant's
visit to Pennsylvania havo reference to
tho reconstruction of his Cabinet, icii
dercd necessary by tho death of tho
Secretary of War ?
Judge Packeu I have heard It ru
mored that such was tho caso ; and that
Pennsylvania, with no representative
In tho Cabinet, was jealous of Massachu
self) with two members.
THE HALF MILLION DONATION.
Reporter I soo it stated, Judge
Packer, that tho contribution you made
of n half n million of dollars to endow
llio Lehigh University, was contributed
of tho honds or tlio Lehigh Valley rail
road, and was thu contribution of that
company. Will you stato to me the
facts in tho case?
Judge Packer Tho statement has
no foundation iu truth. The Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company had nothing
whatever to do with the gift, or with
my subsequent visit to Europe, nor was
the gift made in railroad bonds. It was
a personal cash transaction but ono
from which I never expected nny no
toriety orpratse,uordo I now claim any
credit for thu act. I was about starting
for Europe for my health, and lest
something might occur on tlio Journey
or in my nbsonco to provent thu fullll
mont of this long cherished object. I
perfected tlio transaction on tho ove of
my departure. It was known only to
my wife and the two witnesses to the
deed of gift, and Bishop Slovens, who,
nt my request organized tho plan of tho
university, previous to my sailing. At
Alx la Chapellol first learned that it Uud
been made public, lis publicity wasn
surprise to me.
KKPORTEii wiien was tins :

points you would llko to discuss ?
