why should not tho wisdom of tho gov

After a satisfactory adjustment or

Tho employment of United Stutes

recently received eonsideraoioattenllon
and reprehension, it is regarded as an
Interference with tho sovereign rights
ot the states, winch was notcontempia
tod by tho founders of the cenoral gov
ernment, and, K persisted In, must lead
to results disastrous to pcaco nnd har
mony. Tho practlco is one so sorlous
In its character, nnd &o Injurious In Its
tendencies, as to merit prompt consid
eration, and decislvo action, not only
oy tnouenerai ASscmDiy out oy uong
rcss. Ono of the complaints of tho col
onists against tho British King was the
oppression growing out or tno assump
tion of this power. They said, "Ho lias
kent nmoni: us In times of peace, stand
ing armies, without tho consent of our
Legislature;" and, what is especially
pertinent to the case in point, "Ho has
anecied to renuer mo military muencn
dent of. and sunerior to. the civil Dow
er." Tho alleged authority for tho uso
or troops, at ourstato elections, is do-
rived irom tno tentii section ot an act
of Congress, approved Jlay 31, 1870.
entitled "An Act to enforce tho right of
citizens or tno united states to vote in
tho several States of the Union, and
for other purposes," which authorizes
United States marshals to call to their
assistance, "such portion of the land
and naval forces of tho United States,
or of tho militia, as may bo necessary
to tho performance of tho duty with
which they aro charged, and to insure n
faithful observanco of tlio Fifteenth
Amendment to tlio Constitution of tlio
United States." Hut It must bo a fore-
cd construction of this law that will
Justify tho prcsenco of armed national
lorces at our places oi election wnen no
necessity exists therefor, and where
their presence is calculated to provoke
collision. AVlthagood President, tho
excrciso of tho power referred to might
havo no Injurious results, but In tho
hands or a bad man, governed uy per
sonal ambition, it might provo exceed
ingly calamitous, unconsciously a good
President might bo induced to employ
It wrongfully; a bad ono would bo al
most certain to uso it lor ins own ad
vancement. Under any circumstances,
in my opinion, it Is unsafe, nnd antago
nistic to tho principles that should gov
ern our republican institutions. At tho
last October election United States
troops wero stationed in Philadelphia
lor tno avowed purposooi entorcini: mo

tho consent or oven tho knowledgo of

ed desiroon the part of tho citizens:
and as far as can bo ascertained, with
out existing necessity. From a con
scientious conviction or Its importance,
I havo called your attention to thissub-
Ject. A neglect to havo dono so might
navo Dcon construed as an endorsement
or a mcasuro that meets my unqualified
disapproval. Tho civil authorities of
Pennsylvania havo always been, and
aro still, competent to protect Its citi
zens in mo exercise oi tneir elective

for United States military forces to in
torvene, will be, when tlio power of the

Illrthday of American Independence Is
exciting much public attention. It will

Tho placo for this great occasion should
not bo a question of controversy. No

A ltaillralMiKsl
A ynnkeo Hadlcal by tho name of
JfoTLEV was at ono tlmo U. 8. Minister
to Austria. President Johnson desired
to remove him becauso of unfitness, or
something of that sort. It seems ho Is
un admirer of Sumnkii, who prevented
tho confirmation of a successor and thus
maintained his friend In position. Up
on Oon. Quant's accession to tho Presi
dency, Sumneu Induced htm tonppolnt
Motley Minister to England, no
doubt as an evidence of contempt for
Johnson or to annoy him. llut tho
Incapacity of Motley was soon devel
oped nnd tho President desired to make
b change With his very limited knowl
edgo of yankcu character, or in con
tempt of it, tho President proposed to
let Motley off without public disgrace
and thereforo directed tho Secretary of
State to advlsohlm that his resignation
would bjc vrocij j accepted. Instead
of aesptlng this peremptory hint, tho
ffjjptio functionary set up a sniveling
wnencc In tho hope of being permitted
to remain, which was answered by a
prompt removal, and tho Scnato ns
promptly confirmed several successors
to him, dcsplto Sumneii's influence,
Tho correspondence In tho case hasjust
been given to tho public, upon the call
of tho Senate, and from that this state
ment Is derived.
Motley, with well affected ond most
vcrdnnt simplicity, endeavors to draw
public attention from tho true causo of
his removal, by ascribing It to Sum
nek's opposition to Gbant's San Do
mingo policy I Ho seems to havo no
knowledgo or tho fact that tho Nation
Is composed partly of pcoplo of sturdy
common sense residing outstdo of yan
kcu land, and that thoso havo llttlo
sympathy with snivellers of any char
acter, and least of all with thoso who
chirp jeremiads over removal from of

Tho Homo Insuranco Company of
New Haven, Connecticut, has collaps
ed. A meeting of Stockholders report
that "tho stock has never been over
$100,000 though nominally 11,000,000;
that tho Company had reported, In 1807,
funds which they never possessed, and
that at the presont tlmo tlio indebted
ness exceeds tho assetts by $500,000."
All Now England companies ought
to bo regarded with suspicion wo ro
gard them all swindles In embryo, to
bo developed whonever heavy losses
occur, or tho interests of tho managers
will be promoted thereby and any ono
Is foolish to Insure property or life in
any company unless ho hits personal
confidence in tho officers, or Is recom
mended to tho company by somo ono
of known Integrity and ability to Judgo
correctly. Tho extravagant Insurances
affected in all towns Is sufficient to
arouse suspicion If not to provo at once
that ultimato bankruptcy is contem
plated. Tho best way Is to Insuro In
companies around homo, wherotho In
sured have personal knowledgo of the
officers and of tho practices of tho com
pany. Any company Insuring proper
ty for moro than its worth, as a rule, Is
suro to break.
Tho published statements of compa
nies aro not worth tho paper they aro
printed on. Tho company referred to
nbovo, published, In every possible
form, that amongst their assetts was
tho sura of $1,000,000 stock paid In, and
now thoy tell their deluded customors
that said sum was "not over $100,000,"
and that tho concern Is moro than $500,
000 In debt alter deducting all means or
paying that Is, It Is admitted that tho
publlu is swindled to the tunoornt least
$500,000! Beware of Irresponsible and
unknown companies and agonts I Go to
homo companies, or at least to home
agents In whoso Integrity nnd ability

Now that thcro Is no war on hand,
nnd nono in prospect, It would ha well
for tho Legislature to reform tho mili

vania who nro conscientiously opposed
to bearing arms, to warring, or to kill
ing nny body oven in war; besides a
largo number who mako bucIi preten
sions In order to ovado military duty.
It Is wrong to compel tho former class
to ongago In war, nnd It is imposslblo
to distinguish them from the lattor.
Rut whllo It Is manifestly right that
thoy should bo oxempted by law, Is it
right that thoy should voto war upon
other pcoplo ? No class In America did
moro to produce tho Into sanguinary war
between tho Slates than theso very non
combatants, yet not ono shouldered n
musket or endured any of tho hard
ships of the war,
Tho caso may bo fully met. Let a law
bo passed requiring every man who
claims such exemption to register his
namo In tho county records, nnd there
upon (and only In that case) to bo ex
empt from military duty, in war or
peace, but no ono so exempted to havo
tho right to voto at any Federal election
or for members of Congress. This plan
is deemed perfectly fair to all parties
concerned, and will prevent any but
tho really conscientious from claiming
oxemptlou on that ground.
After a flerco strugglo about noth

Tho ambitious gentlemen of tho city
of Now York who Imagino that they
hold tho destinies of tho Democratic
party In their hands.aro already moving
with energy to control tho next Presi
dential nomination of Hint party. Tho
main objection that wo havo to such
control is that it will In nil probability
ho tho precursor of defeat a defeat, In
vited, whon victory Is within our grasp.
Their shortsighted conduct at tho last
National Convention throw away possl
bio If not probablo success then, ex
changing It for ire defeat. Pendleton
and Hancock each then represented a
distinct nnd Important element, cither
ol which promised success, yet tho Now
York polltlrlnus, Intent on solllsh
Bchomes that would not bo subsorved
by tho nomination of cither of theso
gentlemen, defeated them by extra
ordinary effort, defied tho volco
of tho party, and thus Insured
defeat literally surrendered boforo
tho onset or battlol It Is no extenua
tion or their fault to say that tho Penn
sylvania delegation acted with them,
for thoy manipulated that delegation,
which, but for tho personal weight of
Woodwaui) and Ci.ymeii, was uttorly
disgraced.
Ono branch of tho Now York politi
cians, of which tho World Is tho oigan,
Is eagerly Intent upon nominating
somebody who is not a Democrat I This
would surely mako tho Radicals happy,
if nobody else, for then In nny event
thoy would bo assured of a new leaso
of power and plunder, of which the
World politicians would got a share I
Uut tho Interest the Democracy would
havo In deciding a contest between two
different Republican candidates can on
ly bo explained ns an Interest of spoils.
In short, tho World's platform Is to
sell out tho Democratic party in a body
If possible, or to dlvldo It by a combi
nation with Republicans, tho latter to
swallow up tho Democratic remnant
of which tho World Is tho auctioneer.
To 1ms end, that paper frowns upon alt
opposition to Negro Sulfrago, to tho
XVtlt amendment, and to other Radical
follies. Of courso tho Democracy can
never bo made to submit to any such
bargains, transfers, or other nrrango
ment, If tho subject is fairly presented
to them. Rut tho conspirators In this
business nro adepts at chicanery and
will attempt to affect Indirectly what
they daro not oven broach directly. If
they can not get a nominee to suit thenv
selves they will force the nomination of
some one who is sure to be beaten, If they
can, as they did at tho last Convention.
Nntlonal Conventions nro worn out.
Thoy ought to bo abandoned. They
aro no longer capable of good. Thoy
uro In politics what a Faro bank or
Swet-clotli la In gambling. Look at
their constitution: tho pcoplo In tho
townships elect delegates these again
elect delegates (to Stato Convention)
theso in their turn again elect delegates
(to National Convention) theso last

(mites) and the wholo thing becomes a
very old living cheeso to bo swallowed
by tho first gormandizing monster of
pockets capacious enough to purchase
and stomach strong enough to hold it I
And thls8trnngely constructed machlno
far removed from tho pcoplo, and
neither understanding or caring for
their wants grinds out a pair of nomi
nations nnd Impudently labels them
Democratic nominations) Ofcour?oa
platform Is erectod for them to stand
on till doomsday, or an opportunity to
slide off occurs.
Let tho screechy machlno bo aban
doned. Let each Stato mako Its own
nomination. All will gradually contro
upon tho samo man. If thoy do not be
fore the election tho Electors can do it
afterwards. Then tho peoplo will con
trol, and then tho Democracy will elect
tho President.
' Look to the Senate 1"
If n Democratic Scnato shall not bo
ablo to put a check on tho evil doings
of tho llouso or Representatives, it
would bo as well to have It Radical.
Tho Conservative peoplo or tho Stato
look to tho .Scnato for protection from
tho swindling operations of tho ring
tho coming session. Wo hopo thero
will ho no disappointment. Doyles
town Democrat.
But thero will ho disappointment.
Thero is but ono of a Democratic major
ity In tho Senate, and two or threo of
tho strongest Democratic districts in
tho Stato persist in electing and re-electing
rogues to that body. Tho fact of a
majority (oven though It bo but ono)
imposes a weighty responsibility upon
tho wholo Democratic party, and that
party will bo held accountable for the
action of tho Scnato. If any Demo
cratic Senutor, therefore, falls to dis
chargo his wholo duty to his party ho
ought und must bo denounced by tho
Democratic press from ono nnd of tho
Commonwealth to tho other. This will
not only havo a powerful tendency to
keop Senators within tho lino of duty
but Is tho only means of rclloving tho
Democratic party from tlio consequenc

The Prussians uro battering away nt
tho oris around Paris, nnd claim to
havohllenced several of them. Every
Frenchman In Paris capable of bearing
arms Is required to do so. Prussian
shells reach tho city mid havo caused
some fires. A general bombardment
has not yet commenced.
In other parts or France, sovero light
lug, with uniform Prussian advantage,
is almost constantly going on.
England Is nt length arming. Spain
is on tho verge of n revolutionary out
break. Other European affairs remain
us heretofore, bo far as appears to the
public.
A i'OUtion of tho edllorlul fraternity
affect to bo bewildered Or confounded
by tho contradictory statements of the
Prussians nnd French in regard to their
battles. When the.so gentlemen relleet
that from tho beginning of tho war
overy statement ofllclally made by tho
Geriuaus proved to be Ihe exact truth,
that not ono of the statements of tho
French slnco Napoleon's fall has been
truthful, that almost overy thing in
that regard that appears In tho N. Y.
ll'orW Is false, nnd that thu English
press invariably endeavor to color overy
thing in tho Interests of the French
we say when these facts nro duly eon
sl.Icred, there is no excuse even for
nny body, least of nil an editor, being
beclouded or having dllllctilly In ascer

IlAititisiiuno, Jan. 0, 1870.
To tlio Editor nf the Colulnblnul
Tho organization of tho Senatu camo
to a happy closo, overy Democrat being
In Ills teat. William A. Wallace
was, of course, elected Speaker, nnd
that worthy old soldier, John A. Cool
i it ax, received thonppoIutmentorSer
gcant at arms. In fact, nil tboolllcers
elected by tho Democratic majority In
tlio Senate, aro remarkablo for efficien
cy and respectability; but I havo sin
gled out Mr. Coolihan, tho Democrat
ic Sergeant at arms, as a very uppropil
uto comparison to Mr. W. J. Ovens of
Philadelphia, who has acquired a wido
spread celebrity for tlio homicide of tho
lato Colonel Riddle.
Tho two men may bo considered as
true exponents of tho morality nnd re
spectability of the two political parties
to which thoy respectively belong.
Their choice, by either House, is tho
Index of tlio unerring Instincts which
Invariably govern each political party.
Whllo tho Democrats choso an honest
private of tlio 1117th Regiment, who
was content to fight tho battles of his
country In tho ranks, according to tho
truo Democratic stylo of unselfish pa
triotism ; tho Republicans of tlio llouso
sought and found their candidate for
the samo office among the most notori
ous downtown roughs of Philadelphia.
Murderers, as thoy aro, of tho Constitu
tion nnd tho first principles of right and
Justice, tho Republicans naturally choso
a man of blood, indicating tho violence
which marks tho character of their po
litical courso and the uublushlngeffront
cry with which thoy havo east off ev
ery vestlgo of tho vlrtuo and decency
which whilom thoy claimed as the solo
Inheritance of tho immaculate party of
great moral Ideas I
Tho speech of Speaker Wallace, in
the Senate, was an emphatic aud bold
exposo of sound Democratic doctrlno,
well calculated to encourago tho peoplo
in tho belter that a new era or honesty
and patriotism wll return with a Demo
cratic majority In tho Senate. Let that
majority never forget that tho fame and
tho honor of their party Is in their
hands; and .that ono foul act, accom
plished through their nit, would redueo
them down to tho level of their politi
cal opponents ami blast thorlslng hopes
of all honest men of whatever party.
Tho Governor's Message camo down
upon tho Republicans liku a thousand of
bricks. Tlio Governor's Ideas nro sound
on the unnuclal question and much
moro practical than Secretary Bout
well's. He proposbs to pay off somo
eight millions of tho Stato debt, which
will becomo duo by tho 1st of July,187-,
with tho assets of tho Sinking Fund,
which will reduce tlio debt down to tho
vory mnnagnblo amount of $21,500,000,
Tho Legislature Is now directly and
pointedly called upon to apply the
Sinking Fund to its Constitutional use.
Tho peoplo will now seo If any of their
Representatives will daro to Join in any
schemo of spoliation similar to tho
ono of last session which was arrested
by tho Governor's veto. That the at
tempt will bo made, I grlovo to say, I
havo llttlo doubt. Thoso members who
Join in this nefarious transaction, can
only appear boforo tho public in tlio
chawttcr of bribed conspirators. After
thoy shall havo robbed by tholract, tho
Treasury of the millions immediately re
quired to pay the matured debts of the
Commonwealth, they may still find an
Insuperable obstaclo where thoy least
expect to find ono. At any rate, as sure
as there Is nn inexorable retributive
justlco which, sootier or later, overtakes
overy ovll doer, tho tlmo will como
when thoso conspirators shall appear
boforo tho stem tribunal of their own
conscience, which they foolishly bcllovo
to bo dead In their wicked hearts.
In tho recommendation of a Conven
tion to amend tho present Constitution,
tho Govornor evidently favors tho In
troduction of the frco voto or minority
representation ns a now clause In tho
Constitution. It Is also cheering to find
that both as regards tho representation
In the Constitutional Reform Conven
tion, and tho apportionment of tho
Stato and National representation, tho
Governor earnestly recommends fair
ness and impartial Justlco to nil parties
and localities.
Our modern philanthropists will
learn with concern that tho Governor
recommends tlio lmmedlnlo repeal of
tho " Act to allow writs of error In
cases of murder and voluntary man
slaughter." This absurd law, which,
In its operation, Is equal lo tho Indefi
nite postponement of the execution of
tho murderers who elianco to bo con
victed In our eotirts, should bo Imincdl
ptcly stricken from our statute. It Is
to micli laws that may bo partly attribu
ted tho alarming increase or murders
In our midst. Indeed tho onward ro
slstless march or crime nowadays, Im
perallvely demands more gallows, mora
summary punishments nnd less writs
of error.
But or all tho subjects which tho Gov
omor treats In his Me-ssaso, the most
Important, the most absorbing, H Hint
or STATE SOVEREIGNTY t-Tliat
sovereignty which the Republican par
ty nffect to Ignore, nnd yet, which Is co'
existent nnd Identical with the socer
cignty of the people emphatically nssert-
cd In tlio Constitution of every Stato
and of tho United States us thu soureo
of all power I That Slato sovereignty
which guarantees to every American
citizen tho protection of life, of proper
ty, of liberty of conscience, of rational
liberty I That Stato Sovereignty which
guarantees tho Inviolability ol contracts
without which the social compact could
not exist ; without which thero could
bo neither freodom nor Stato Govern
ment I
Under tho head of " Telegraph lines
and Railroads," tho Governor says:
" that ho regards the "tssuinption of the
control or tip; Telegraph lines, and the
chartering or Railroad Companies with
in tho Statu by tho Federal govern
ment, as a subect of vast importance
Involving tho sovereign power of the
Slate," us well as the interests of our
State Corporations that may bo en
frnnchlsed by It and or our citizens
wlio-e capital Is Invested to tho amount
or many millions, in tho bonds and
stocks of said corporations.
Here tlio Governor takes high and
patriotic ground. Ho boldly stands ti
for that Sovereign power which has cre
ated all tho vested rights nnd chartered
privileges under which hundreds of
millions of capital havo been Invested
by our citizens In Stato Railroads and
Stato Telegraph lines, deriving most of
tholr value and importance rrom State
policy and Stato protection. In tho
unrestricted legislation of Congress, hu
apprehends, on t ho part of thu Federal
Government, a violation of tho sacred
tics) of contracts, guaranteed to every
Pennsylvaniaii by our Stato Comstltu
Hon, if Congress undertakes to pais
acts of Incorporation which shall in any
way viol atoor interfere with tho vested
or chartered rights granted under
tho authority of tho Stato of Pennsyl
vania.
In tho position lie thus assumes ho
stands us tho protector of tho integrity
of millions worth of corporate property
which is constantly exposed to the
machinations of tho speculating tin
at Washington who, from ono day to
tho other, may, by the passage of somo
sweeping act of Incorporation, wake
up somo of our Railroad directors to
tho fact that If thero Is no Slato Sover
eignty there is no exlstcnco for them,
their roads or their capital.
"Junius."
It Is a historical fuel that during three
hundred fifty years that tho placo or tho
Tullleries has been a royal dwelling, no
French sovereign has died within Its
walls. In connection with this fact an
other may bo mentioned : Ever since
1CSS every French sovereign who has
made the Tullleries his abode has been
compelled, nt somo time or other, to
quit thu sholter of Its roof.
