OF 11I.OOMSIIUIK1.
Tho Prohibitory amendment wns de
feated in Ohio. Tlio proposed amend
inent was as follows:
Tho manufacture of and the tralllo in in
toxicating liquors to bo U9cd as a Ocverngo
nro forever prohibited j and tlio General
Assembly shall provldo by law for tho en
forccmcnt of this provision.
As announced last week tho result in
Ohio was a majority of 12,000 for tho
democrats. Tho Philadelphia Times
frankly admits that this is a great
democratic victory, and a republican
crash, and says thcro is no uso of boat
ing around the bush. Republicans in
this .Stato aro disheartened, nnd exhibit
no enthusiasm, whilo the democratic
leaders and candidates arc coufident of
success if wo only get out tho vote. By
carrying Pensylvania this year, we will
ensure tho election of a democratic
President in 1881. Get out the vote.
Tho legislature still jogs along as
usual, thollonso passingapportionmont
bills, and tho Senato refusing to con
sider them. Tho San.Ho still contin
ucs its sessions onTuesdiy and Friday,
coming together only long enough to
pass amotion to adjourn. It was hoped
that tho result in Ohio might open tho
oyes of Hosa Cooper, amf his satellites),
but they seem to go on in their revolu
tionary and outrageous obstruction to
compliance with tho highest law of our
State. On tho 0th of November they
will find that ultimatum) aro not popu
lar in Pennsylvania.
HELP THE 0AUSE.
Columbia is expected to maintain
her rank among tho leading Democrat
ic counties of tho State on tho 0th of
November, and every man has a share
of tho work to do. If there arc any
who feel that this is an off year, and
think it a matter of indifference
whether thoy vote or not, they should
shako off their apathy, and arouse
themselves to the importance of tho
situation. AVo now havo the Gov
ernor, popular branch of tho legisla
ture, Secretary of Internal affairs, and
there is no reason why wo should not
have tho Stato Treasurer and Auditor
- General, which will place tho entiro
State government in Democratic hands.
But this is not all. Next year comes
tho Presidential election, and with
Pennsylvania and Ohio Democratic
this year, tho race for tho highest
oflico in tho nation will bo easy in
1881. "How can I help V do you
say? If you havo a neighbor or friend
who is indifferent, urge him up to his
duty, givo him your newspapers to
read, if ho has none of his own, nnd
seo that ho gets to tho polls. When
ever you havo an oppoitunity oxplam
the situation to your friends, and get
them all interested in the battle, and
wheu you havo done this, do not fail
to bo at tho polls early and work late ;
send out for thoso who arc not on
hand, and get in every honest vote.
With such work faithfully performed
wo shall carry the State.
Retirement of General Sherman.
An executive order announcing tho
retirement of General Sherman from
active duty November 1st, and tho
changes incident thereto, will probably
be issued at once. It is understood
that Major General Hancock will suc
ceed Lieutenant General oherulnn m
command of tho division ol the Mis
aouri i that Major General Popo will
succeed General Hancock in command
of tho Division of tho East ; and that
Major General Sohofleld will remain in
command of the Division of tho Pa
cific. General Hancook was tendered
Lieutenant General Sheridan's com
mand, and is understood to have no
ceptcd it.
The Two Issues,
There aro two important issues in tho
otato election this tall ; one between
tho Hepublieaii bosses and equal repre
sentation. The jobbers in tho treasury
must go. They have made spoil of tho
periplo's inoiioy until tho taxpayers havo
determined that it must cease. Tho
only way this can bo done is to elect
Joseph Powell, Stato Treasurer. For
many years tho publio money has been
utmriuutcu among certain uuiikb, wiiu
out paying tho Stato ono penny for the
uso ot it, while tlioy trndo upon it and
raako largo profit By this means pri-
vato banking institutions mako several
hundred thousand dollars a year off the
taxpayers. This profit tho banks havo
in hand to use in corrupting tho ballot
box. Tho election of Mr. Powell will
ohango tho system. The Hepublioau
party has set its faco liko steel against
equal representation. Tho Republican
Senate has been in session nine months
and opposes all apportionment but tho
most unjust gerrymander. Whilo tho
constitution makes it obligatory on tho
Legislature to apportion tho btato at
the first session after tho census shall
havo been taken, the Republicans ut
terly refuso to discharge this constitu.
tionnl duty. Thoy stand as obstruc
tionists, nnd violate their oath of office,
On their shoulders rest all tho resnonsi
bility, nnd it is n fearful ono. It is
justly said that tho Bubjeotof represen
tation goes down to tho very loniula
tion of our government. Tho constitu
tion intends that apportionments shall bo
just : that each party snail navo repre
sentation according to its strength,
and whenever this is not tho case you
do violcnco to our former government.
What Democrats contend for this year
is equally important to Hepublicans.
Equal representation was tho koynoto
of tho Revolution. Tho Senato stands
in tho nttitudo of hostility to the cher
ished Amorioan principle. Tho pooplo
will not sustain thorn. J)oylestow
democrat.
Dayanl and Cutler,
Senator Bavard of Dclawaro was re
cently interviewed at Martinsburg,
Went Virginia, where ho is visiting.
The following comersalion look places
"henator, how do you regard tho re
sult in Ohlot"
"Most favorably. Wo nro now cer
tain of a president next year. Even
had Foraker been elected, our chances
would havo not been jeopardized, bill,
as it is they nre better than over. Hod
tho Hepublicans won, it would have
given them somo grounds for liopo,
nothing more."
When asked as to his real attitudo
towards Governor Butler Senator Bay
ard became very earnest nnd expressed
himself forcibly.
"Do you regard him as a true Demo
crat r
"No, I do not. How could I so re
gard tho man who was formerly ono of
our most bitter and violent opponents,
and who now crawls back into tho
party only that ho may secure tho emo
luments and honors. Tho Democratic
partv cannot trust the man who applied
tho knife of treneherv in 18GI. Ho
might do so again."
"How do you regard General Butler
as a prospective Democratic candidato
for tho presidency next year V
"I do not regard him at all."
"Whyt"
"Because ho deserted tho party when
it was mo9t in need of nid and support,
and only crawled back when ho thought
it was again in tho ascendency. Tho
local ami provincial issues of Massa
chusetts may demand such a leader,
but tho uational interests and issues do
not, and never will."
Tho Oivil Eights Aot.
Tho Civil Bights Act has been de
clared unconstitutional by the supremo
court of tho United States. A decision
was rendered on Monday, in five civil
rights cases.
Tlieso cases were all based on the
first and second sections of tho civil
rights act of 1875, and wore respective
ly prosecutions under that act for not
admitting certain colored persons to
equal accommodations and privileges
in inns or hotels, in railroad cars and
in theatres. Tho defense setup in
every caso was the alleged unconstitu
tionality of the law. Tho first and sec
ond sections of the act, which wero the
parts directly in controversy, nre as
follows :
TUB SECTIONS IN CONTROVKBSV.
"Sec 1. That nllpcisons within the Jurisdic
tion of trie United states shall bo entitled to a full
and equal enjoyment ot accommodations, advan
tages, facilities and privileges of Inns, public con
veyances on land and water, theatres and .ot tier
places ot public nmusement, subject only to tho
conditions and limitations established by law and
applicable nitko to citizens of every race and color,
regardless of any previous condition of servl
tude." The second section, provides, "That any person
who violates tho first section shall bo liable t o tor
felt fJOO for each offense, to bo recovered In civil
action, and also to a penalty of from $300 to (1,000
line, or Imprisonment from thirty days ton year,
to bo enforced in criminal proseoutlon." Exclusive
Jurisdiction Is given to tho districts and circuit
courts ot tho United states In cases arising under
tho law. Tho rights and privileges claimed by
and denied to colored persons In th030 cases wero
full and equal accommodations In hotels, In ladles'
cars on railway trains nnd In dress circles In
theatres. Tho court in long nnd carefully prepared
opinion by Justice Ilradlcy, holds :
Tltn'oPINION DV JUSTICE BBADLKY.
First That congress bad no constitutional au
thority to pass the sections In question under either
the thirteenth or fourteenth amendments of tho
constitution.
Second That tho fourteenth nmendment Is pro
hibitory upon states on,ly, and that legislation Is
authorized to bo adopted by congress for enforcing
that nmendment Is not direct legislation on mat
ters respecting which states aro prohibited from
making or enforcing certain laws or doing certain
acts, but is corrective legislation necessary or
proper for counteracting and redressing the effect
ot such laws or acts ; that In forbidding tho states
for example, to deprlvo any person of life, liberty
or properly without duo process ot law, and giving
congress power to enforce tho prohibition, It was
not Intended to give congress power to provide due
processor law for tho protection ot lite, liberty
and property (which would cmbraco almost all
subjects of legislation), but to provide modes
ot redress tor counteracting tha operation and
effect ot stato laws obnoxious to state prohlbl
tlon. atVK no rowEit to concikess.
Third That tho thirteenth amendment gave no
power to congress to piss tho section? referred to,
because that amendment relator to slavery and
Involuntary servitude, which It abolishes, and
gives congress power to pass laws for Its enforce
ment : that this power only extends to the subject
matter ot tho amerh lent Itself, namely, slavery
and voluntary be. .nude nnd necessary Incidents
and consequences ot thoso conditions ; that It has
nothing to do with) different races or colors, but
only refers to slavery, tho legal equality ot differ
ent races nnd classes ot citizens being provided tor
In the fourteenth amendment, which prohibits tho
states from doing anything to Interfere with such
equality ; that It Is no Infringement ottne thir
teenth amendment to refuse to any person equal
accommodations and privileges ot an Inn or a
place ot pudlle entertainment, however It may be
n violation ot Ms legal rights ; that It Imposed
upon htm no badge of slavery or Involuntary ser
Mtude, which Imply some feort ot subjection of ono'
person to another, and tho Incapacity Incident
thereto, such as Inability to hold property, mako
contract, to be parties In courts, etc., and It tho
original civil rights act, which abolished these In
capacities, might be supported by tho thirteenth.
amendment, it does not therefore follow that the'
act of 1875 can be supported by It
Fourth That this decision effects only the vail
dlty of tho law in the states and not in the terri
tories of the District of Columbia, where the legis
lative power ot congress Is unlimited and It does
not undertake to decide what congress might or
might not do under tho power to regulate the com
merco with foreign nations, and amongst the sev
eral states, tho law not being drawn with any
such view.
DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Fifth That, therefore It Is the opinion of the
court that tho first and second sections ot the act
of congress, .March l, isrs, entitled "An act to pro
tect all citizens hi their civil and legal rights," are
unconstitutional and void, and Judgment should
be rendered upon the Indictments accordingly.
Gould-Vanderbilt,
Under this heading tho American
Sentry, a paper published in Nov
York prints tho following article, which
we reproduce, as tho subject of railroad
building is one in which this country is
interested just now.
"Tho populai outcry directed against
our railway kings as greedy monopo
lists, without at tho same time arraign
ing tho prevailing wish and effort on
tho part of a vast proportion of our
people to become monopolists just as
far as they aro ablo to do so, is nlto.
gether too much of a one-sided proceed
mg to promoto reform.
bo far ns monopolistic tendency and
a desiro to get money without earning
it aro concerned, Gould, Vanderbilt,
and a few other successful speculators
aro simply tho true representatives of
tho will and effort of a majority of
their accusers, and havo becoino proini
nent mainly because their clearer judg.
ment and greater energy havo enabled
them to discover nnd turn to their own
advantage tho mighty possibilities
opened uit by tho invention of tho rail
road and locomotive.
But for tho vast number of specula
tors, representing nlmostovcry business
and profession, including even farmers
and ministers, who aro over insanely
anxious to get something for nothing,
and with tho purposo of doing it, rush
into tho gambling maelstrom of Wall
street, they who outgeneral tho mass
in that locality would havo little soopo
for tho exercise of Alio peculiar talents
employed in Wall street tactics.
So far us concerns tho seething,
scrambling multitude who spend their
money and tiino in tho effort to get
more money without earning it, nnd
who nro "fleeced" by tho shrewder
"operntors in tha street," publio sym
pathy expended on them Is wasted i
whilo If by being losers Instead of
gniuers in their gambling experiments
thoy aio finally induced to turn their
thoughts nnd efforts to a life of orderly,
useful industry, both they nnd tho world
nro finally tho gainers.
In that view of the case, though actu
ated by selfish motives, tho few "opern
tors" who most completely and quickly
atrip tho majority of tho means for
continuing their gambling life, may hi
a negative sense be regarded as publio
benefactors, especially when the suc
cessful ones, ns thoy generally do, uso
tho money thoy get in building lines
of railway into rich but otherwise in
accessible regions.
An old ndago teaches that wo should
givo even "tho devil his due," and in
order that tho voters may judgo wisely
nnd not justly, tho whole truth, both
for nnd against, must bo told upon nil
vitally important subjects. But for
men liko Vandorbilt, Gould, Villard
and others, whoso ficrco energy con
templates success only, and regards all
practicable means for its attainment ns
justifiable, comparatively few railroads
would now exist, not one-half of tho pre
sent food products of tho United States
would bewithiu reach of a market that
would pay tho bare cost of production
nnd transportation, and this country
would not.ns now, bo each year sending
millions of tons "of food materials to feed
the maises of Europe, or tho taxable
property of tho country bo worth
one-half its proscnt value.
But for tho herculean work of such
men in gridironing our country with
railroads, a vast proportion of it thnt
now enjoys every advantago of a high
order of civilization would bo in a state
of nature, and hundreds of thousands
of churches nnd school-houses now dot
ting tho land nnd ministering to tho re
ligious and intellectual welfare of many
millions of people, would not exist, nor
would one-quarter of our present pro
duct of books nnd newspapers find
renders. Verily, our railroads aro tho
right hand of civilization, nnd though
wo may growl at tho "monopolists"
whoso money and enterpriso havo
spread them over tho land, yet in viow
of tho incalculable benefits conferred
upon humanity by their work, aud re
membering that God's wise and loving
providence is always exercised for hu
man good, wo may well exclaim with
the Psalmist' "Surely tho wrath of man
shall praise tlieo."
Much of the talk about lands donat
ed to' "railroad monopolies" is ill-considered,
and fails to mako a useful im
pression upon the minds of closc-think-mg,
honest men. We tuny well be
astounded when wo think of tho mon
Btrous quantity of lands donated to the
Northern Pacific Railroad, which at
their present market price aro worth
more than the total cost of tho road ;
but to be just, we must bear in mind
that if the road had not been built
those lands would not now bo worth,
on nn average, ten cents an acre ; in
fact, most of them would bo practi
cally worthless to tho present genera
tion. ,
It was tho building of tho road that
made them valuable and givo value to
tho alternate sections along tho route
retained by government.
Perceiving tho results that havo ac
crued from tho building of land-grant
railroads through previously unsettled
portions of the country, wo can now un
derstand that government could have
built tho railroads and retained the
lands, for salo to settlers, with decided
profit to the nation, but it is in the
light of results flowing from the fore
sight, energy and work of tho builders
of tho roads" that the facts havo been
made plain.
The truth is that our "hindsight is
better ilian our foresight." Shall we
Beek to stir up anger toward those
whoso clearer judgment than our own
led them to do the things that we would
havo eagerly done had we possessed the
foresight and tho means, and will we
henceforth with our enlightened judg
ment do that better thing for tho count
ry !
Tho Sentry has no willingness to ex
cuso or in any way palliate the wicked
ness of tho greed for unearned money
and undeserved power, nor will it join
in tho howl raised by demagogues lor
their personal benefit, with litlle or no
regard for the facts of the case. The
whole railroad business is of recent
growtli and is yet in its infancy and
thoy whose Bounder judgment enabled
them to peer into tho future and act
wisely for themselves aro no
more deserving of condemnation than
tho slower coaches who, seeing tho re
sult of tho work done by others, rave
becauso thoso others saw and grasped
tho prize they failed to see in time to bo
the first to clutch it.
Tho greatest .wrong donn by railroad
managers is in tie corrupting of will
ing voters, legislators and judges, after
tho manner of other men, but on a lar
ger scale. Though many of them havo
doubled their stocks by watering, and
in many cases charged unjustly for tho
service rendered, thoy havo also doub
led tho worth of tho farmers' laud as
compared with what it was beforo the
grasping monopolists built the road,
and if the building of another would
double it again, would tho property
owner object to its being done even by
"a greedy monopolist!" There is rea
son to fear that he would bo eager to
havo it done, though ho might after
ward condemn tho doer.
When people generally ceaso to wish
and strivo for money without earning
it, men may como into existence who
will build and operato railroads for tho
publio good rather than their own indi
vidual gain, but until there is a wide
spread, radical reformation, there will
bo no sourco from which to obtain that
greatly to bu desired class of purely
public-spirited business men.
It is useless for "pot to call kettle
black" as a menus of achieving reform.
Tho divino command is "first oast out
tho beam out of thine own eye, and then
ahnlt thou seo clearly to cast out tho
moto out of thy brother's eye."
Let nono think that the Sentry has
forsaken its professed principles. As
heretofore, it demands thnt railroads
and all other corporations shall be com
pelled to remain in nnd fill their just
position ns honest servants, nnd not
masters of tho people, but it will do its
best to render justice to all ns well as
require it of them."

Diamonds.
We ask the attention of pur
chasers to the Importations of
Fine Diamonds now arriving.
To meet the demands of the
most critical, and consequently
the most prudent, we confine our
selves entirely to the sale of such
diamonds as may be pronounced
strictly first-class in quality.
Recognizing the fact that in
ferior stones have little intrinsic
value, it has been our business
aim to offer only such Diamonds
as we can unhesitatingly recom
mend as a judicious money in
vestment. In Rubies, Emeralds, Sapphires,
Cat's Eyes, and Rare colored
Gems of all kinds, we have been
fortunate in securing many beau
tiful specimens.
We desire to extend a most
cordial invitation to our custo
mers and others in this city to visit
ourstore.now rendered addition
..Uy attractive, by reason of the
;uny elegant goods of all kinds
constantly arriving from abroad.
