the charge implicatiug him in the al

that a congressional committee en

If these rads really want to scxild
about frauds, let them try on the Cre

Dana, of the Sun, has ben kited fur
libel, by one Shepherd, a chief of one
of the radical riugs at W&shiugtou.
Shepherd and those with hint consti
tute the Pavement ring at the nation
al capitol, and the Sun has exposed
some enormous frauds committed bv
this paviog ring. For this Mr. Dana
is to be dragged out of his own city
and state to Washington, to be tried
by a police court of the riug and be
longing to it and sharing its plunder
ings of the people. This is an almost
unheard of proceedure, at least tor this
free country. It is an outrage filtiug
the days of Jeffries and the Bloody
Assizes, the most disgraceful upon the
pages of England's history. If this
outrage succeed, then, verily, has the
initiatory been taken to introduce in
these United States the system of jus
tice practiced in England when the
demon Jeffries lorded it upon the
bench and innocent lives were sacri
ficed to appease the bloodthirsty crav
ings of that notorious judicial fieud.
This arrest of Mr. Dana is done uo
der an act of congress and sanctioned
by Grant. It is one of the greatest
outrages that has been attempted
against the liberty of the press. Be
cause the Sun making the exposure of
the fraud was read in Washington,
the editor must he dragged thither to
be tried by the men and their eonfed
eiates and sympathisers whom he has
exposed.
The Tribuue, in au able article de
nouncing this outrage, draws also a
true picture of Graut, which we think
is worthj a niche in the Reporter. It
says, last year the President desired a
reelection. Not one of the 60,(XK) of
fice-holders needed to be told of it
He did not need to utter it. From
the ganglia of the departments it
thrilled to the remotest hamlet; and
from these smaller centers of influence
it radiated stili; it infused the caucus,
inspired the conviction aud packed
the assembly that renominated him.
He bad done many questionable
things; not very many wise ones. He
was unanimously nominated and over
whelmingly reelected, and iu the con
vention or the party no one dared op
pose him. Let us see what we have
committed to lum already and what
awaits bim. It made no special sen
sation among his supporter! when his
conception of his high office was dis
closed in his request upon entering
office that a statute law be repealed to
gratify his personal feeling iu the
choice of a Cabinet, nor did any of his
subsequent proceedings in the appor
tionment f offices to his family excite
any surprise. When he transcended
his powers in the negotiation of a
treaty, his party, so far froai reouking
ostracized and excommunicated those
who criticised him. There has been
no sense of shame in the unpreceden
ted partiality shown his son in con
nection with the army, no sense of re
sponsibility or decency iu his appoint
ment of his relatives, Casey, Hudson,
and Cramer, iu the face of indignant
public opinion, nor any regard for
truth iu his unfulfilled promises to re
form the Civil Service; aud yet his
party makes no sign of disapproval.
He turns and overturns the Civil Ser
vice rules almost as fast as a commis
sion cau make I hem aud resign; he
sets up a government in Louisiana
and overturns another iu Alabama ;
he demands that his salary be doubled
and a truckling Congress voles him
the increase and sueaks away with a
commission ou the plunder; he names
to Massachusetts her Governor and to
Alabama her Senator ; he open# pri
sou doors to men who have defrauded
and robbed the G <vei anient, and he
pardons unpunished the men who
were convicted of fraud upon the bal
lot in his interest. Is this enough?
He holds through his Minister of F -

FARMERS' RIGHTS.
[From the Chicago Tribune.]
The railroads have the full protec
tion of the law in tha decisions of the
United States courts, which hold their
charters to be in the nature of a con
tract which the State cannot violate.
They can set up the law in any case
where a State Legislature or the peo
ple en leavor to deprive them of any
of the privileges specifically conferred
bv their charters. But they will
make a mistake if they piesume that
any law bars out the people from as
certaining whether or not they arc
j complying with their obligation un
der the contract. The courts will ex
teud to the people the same protec
tion that they extend to the corpora
tions ; and, in the couflict between the
railroads and the farmers, the princi
pal thing to be determined by evi
dence is whether the rates charged by
the railroads represent a profit on the
actual investment, or a percentage ou
fictitious capital not authorizsd under
the charters, but created in a vaiiety
of ways without the investment of
money. If the former, the railroad
rates will be sustained ; if the latter,
the rates will be changed, in one way
or another, and the railroads will be
forced to be content with earnings
that will pay a fair interest ou the
actual investment.
In the eyes of tbc law a corpora
tion is a fictitious person, created for
special purposes and strictly limited
to the terms of its charter. It can
take ships, enter into no busiuess
transactions, spread out ioto no field
not explicitly defined in the law which
originally brought it into being, or in
amendments thereto. Now, we know
cf no railroad charter which author
izes the corporations to earn a percen
tage an fictitious capital, and the
courts will not construe this to be an
unexpressed or implied privilege of
the railroads. On the contrary, the
law expressly holds that railroads
must make fair and reasonable rates
—and rates can be neither fair nor
reasonable which represent dividends
on capital that has never been invest
ed or profits on stocks fictitiously is
sued for the benefit of speculators.
It is on this ground that farmers can
make their best fight,and if they keep
close to this Hue of battle they will be
certain of victory.
Wa have no means of knowing
what proportion of the capital stock
of the railroad? of this country is fic
titious. Au estimate made somu two
years ago placed it at 33 per cent, of
the aggregate railroad stocks. The
pro|H>rtioD is certainly not less to-day,
and probably is much larger. If this
lie true then the average railroad rates
are 33 per cent, higher than they
would be if (he railroad stocks of the
county represented the capital actual
ly invested in constructing auJ opera
ting them. It is the work of the peo
ple to ascertain the precise difference
between the actual investments and
the fictitious stocks, and when this
shall have been doDC there will be a
solid basis for determining what rea
sonable rates are.
The way and means adopted for
creating fictitious railroad stocks are
once numerous and ingenious. A pop
ular method is L> declare stock divi
dends. If the Rock Island Road, for
instance, is earning more money than
it cares to have the people know of, it
declares a stock dividend. The capi
tal stock is thereby increased and tlic
earnings appear to bo less. Tb fact
is, that a means has been provided
whereby the earnings may bo increas
ed without arousiug the suspicion of
the public. The new stock represents
no investments of capital whatever,
but thenceforth it constitutes a basis
on which the railroads claim the right
of earning the current jrafp pf interest.
The rates of transportation are thus
increased to pay interest on stock or
iginally issued for the purpose of cov
ering up excessive earnings. Anoth
er favorite way of issuing fictitious
stock is by the leasing of other vail.-
roade, But the most common means
of obtaining fictitious stock is by what
is known as the Credit Mobilier plan
of building railroads blurting ?\ith
la land grant from Congnss, or sub
sidies from State or municipal govern
ments, the construction company is-

PREVENTING CORRI'PTION
To tb* Kdilor of the Reporter:
In a late number of the ifuldiajH, tha(
un*werTtii(r advocate of pure and undtfil- I
ed, tho.ijjh illiberal Democracy, appeared
an article on "Restricting the Legislature,' j
which abould not be allowed to pass un
merits sucn as could emanate from no one
but an ardent supporter of that ' Uintc '
which has cast a stigma upon our State
both at home and abroad. So far a I can
least;, this is tho first attack that has been
ma le on this portion of the Convention's
work. No other journal hat had tho effron
tery to avow itself the champion of the
"King," as tho H'ufeAmon docs in this ar
ticle. One of the principal reasons lor ;
calling this Convention together was p.;
correct tho abuses arising from special le
gislation. Tbc writer of ibe abavo article ,
acknowledges this fact, and savs, unlets [
its members suggest good and efficient :
remedies for these abuses, they "will be
hot-ted at as visionaries, who can neither
understand nor appreciate the labor as
signed them to do." Mr- Week, evident
ly, is anxious to begin tho "hoot. He
sees that, if the suggestions of tho Conven
tion should be ratified by the people, his
sphere of usefulness at J|arribnrg will bo
abridged, and bis patriotic ardor conse
quently dampened.
Rut what is this great error which these
men arc about to commit, and which is to
brand them a "visionaries" * It is. sim
ply, the transfer of a portion of tho autho
rity now exercised by tbo legislature te
the courts. None, except those interested
in that kind of special legislation which is
beneficial to tbeiusleves and detrimental
to every other individual, ncod fear this
change. The new plan will be more con
venient, loss liable to abuse, just as speedy
and fur more equitable than the old.
But this remedy is practical, as well as
beneficial. It has been tried, and found
i adequate to bring about the reforms wo
so much desire. AH the evils arising
from special legislation have resulted from
placing too great power tn the hands of a
single body of men. Where the carrion
is, there the vultures will gather. Now
our only remedy is to prevent too great an
accumulation of carrion in any ono place;
thereby we pill be qblc to separate the
vultures, and to iruU-h thorn. But how is
this to be done ? We cannot create new
legislatures to attend to this special legis
lation ; for one is more than we can control.
We cannot allow this vast power to remain
where it is; that would be courting our
own destruction. No; our only resource
is to devidc this power among the courts
By sodsing, this vast authority, instead of
being vested in a single body, will be dis
tributed among at least thirty distinct and
separate bodies. At present, it is concen
trated in t?ic legislature, and corruption
ists can bring all their forces to bear upon
it. But who will say that it is as easy to
corrupt thirty courts as one legislature.
During the past, our state judiciary has
been almost entirely free from venality;
not to our legislature.
Another argument, adduce! to show the
wrongs which will result from this innova
tion, is that the "Legislature of tho State
is the mouth piece of the people," and in
restricting this body, we are preventing
the free expression of the popular voice.
We demur, most emphatically. We ac
knowledge that the legislature thuuld hr
"the mouth-pieco," it must certainly speak
the voice of the people. But iluei the
lVnn'a Legislature do this ? Did it act as
the "mouth-piece of the people" when t
pu-s u d l);e odious Registry Law which has
handed over the e,ity of Philadelphia to
the repeaters and cut-throuts ? when it
elected Simon Cameron as U. S. Senator"' j
and when it passed the Border claims bill?
Did Mr. Meek act as tbo "mouth-piece of
tho people" of Centra county, when ho en
gineered the "Sandy Run Improvement"
and other jobs through tho Legislature?
The bare assertion of such nn idea is a
-lander upon our people. The people arc
not corrupt; the chronic politicians are.
Hut let a* see what the "uge and Solon"'
of the U'ateKmaK, (for, he it remembered,
he, too, once had a lofty u*piration to be
numbered among thin band of "sages and
Solon*,") recommend* a* u remedy for all
the legislative ill* to which our body poli
tip U )}ir. Listen to the word* of pro
found wisdom a* they drop from the lip*
of this man who ''boot*'' at tbp pieptberg
of the Convention a* "viaionnriea" I "Give
ear, yo people," to the inspired saying* of
one of the profoundesl "*age and Solon*"
that Centre county ha* ever produced!
1 ' '/Vie cure for that rrntn with the people
aloif+." Jjct u review a little. The Con
vention wu* ca'led hi "cure the evil* of
special legislation;" if they tail to pprp
them, they "will he hooted at a* vUiona
rie*;" hut "the euro rest* with the people
alone," and therefore not with ihe Con
vention Yfo have, then, a Convention
called to cure an S', )\ which they cannot
cure ; and ir they don't do what l;;ey can
not do, they will he "hooieJ at lis vision's- |
ries!" Header, draw your own inference
a* tv *uch reasoning.
Uut this is not the only place in which
his argument prove* too much. He says,
further, "the same evils will exist so long
* the people fail to elect men of charm trr
nnd integrity, isn>l high mom! worth ' ,
Here our "sage and Solon" again failed to |
where hi* reasoning would latul him.
\V.* will show him. 'l'lo* people, h* virtu- 1
allv says, elect men wiilmut "character, I
and integrity, and high moral worth;" but ,
the people ejected Mr. Meek, and so he j
must be a man without these qualities
Hut we will *\e liiin Iroiii this lather un- *
pleasant conclusion, by denying his preml- |
e We deny thnt the people send to the
legislature men devoid of character, and
integrity, and high moral worth;" we dej 1
ny trust Mr. Meek was such a man when i
the people of Centre county first sent him!)
there I'he great difficulty Is that the men'
whott- we .end seem to losethcli "cliarae | (
tsr, and integrity, And high iiooat worth" t 1
o soon after they get there. "Hiiig logic. ■

with the people. They are liot so foolish I

They see tiiut their representative* almost |
invariably misrepresent them and are not
to be trusted, and so they are willing even 1
to sacrifice some of their rights, if that I
must hedotie, in order to preserve the re

The plan adopted by the couvelition is

TENDENCY OF THE CHURCH OF
ENGLAND To CATHOLICISM
London, July 11. —ln the chamber of
peers this evening L>rd Oranmore read
! the archibishop's reply to thp church as
sociation. showing a tendency ia the
churi h of Eagland towards Catholicism,
and uiuved that a conimitle be appointed
to consider what legislation is needed to
check the evil He *up|>orted the motion,
in v long speech, in the routse of which he
read passages from a petition of 4<t3 cie rgy
men of the established church asking for
the appointment of contessor* and the res
toration of other papish practices which
the reformation abolished. He wanted to
: know by what casuistry the English
! clergymen holding such doctrine retain
1 \ their position in the church.
The archbishop of Canterbury. taiJ the
noble lord, bad slated the question fairly, j
1 It was to wonder that popular feeling was
working upon this subject. There was.
' good cause lor alarm. The power of bis-;
bops to remedy abuses should be iocrcas
' ed.
The bishop of Salisbury declared the
position taken by I-ord Oranmore were
unassailable, but be thought the motion in
' opportune Confessional was so contrary
' to British feeling that the attempt to intro
-1 it could only beconsidcred wild anJ vi
sionary.
1 The 486 clergymen who signed the peti*
' tion constituted only one-half per cent, of
1 the clerical body of tho church.
The archbiihqp ol Yark expressed
' the opinion that whatever was done in this
matter should come from the church, not
the legislature. He therefore wa* appos
ed to the motion, but ho declared he
would make every exertion to prevent the
prayer book from becoming Romanixed.
The motion was then negatived and
' tbeir lordships rose.
In the house of conttnon* Mr. Lamson
' gave notice thnt the ancient custom ot ex
pelling strangers from the galleries be
abolished, except on certain rare occa
sions.
Mitchell Henry member for Gal way

looking sotho publication of faithful and

A HORRIBLE MUIIDKK.
A Man Killed for Money, Dismem
bered, and Buried.
West Chester, July 11.—One of the
most hcrriblo of murders l;as just come to
light in Chester county—one that almost
equals tho West-Turner affair of Dover,
Delaware.
The villago of Jcnnervillc is situated in
Fenn township, Chester county, one mile
north of the line of the Baltimore Central
railroad, and six miles northeast of the
borough of Oxford. On the IXHb of June
last a strange man arrived at the hotel of
the viilnrge and took up quarters, saying
that ho had conic from Baltimore and was
an "agent," but giving no name. He was
in appearance a young man, probably not
over thirty, with black whiskers.
On tho following day a team, driven by
William K. Uddcrxook, drove Up to the
tavern, and tho "ugcf)t" wus invited by
Udder/.ook to take a ride, and, excepting
the invitation, they went away together.
Tho team was hir.'d by Uddcrxook at
I'arkpsburg. In tbo evening it was re
turned and it was remarked by some one
taking it in charge that there was blood
upon it, which was explaiaod by a plausi
ble story. UdderX'Hik immediately left
the neighborhood, and the stranger was
never alter seaq ulivo.
Friday la-t it wa* noticed by a tuan that
a large number of buzzards were hovering
about a wood, a short distance off the
Newport and Gap pike, between the vil
lages of Cochrnnville nnd l'emiingtonville.
The man at length went after, nnd found
unearthed the head and body of a man,
and hi- afpis and legs, which wcreseparato
from the body, jlo gave notice to thp
neighborhood, and tho horribly luutjln
led body was eventually recognized as
thnt of the stranger who had been stop
p„g at Jennerville, which wns perhaps
half a dozen rnilex away. 4 ,' ur y was em j
panelled by a deputy coronet', biit the vet i
diet wa* scaled and has not yet been band Ii
ed over to the coroner of the county.
The murdered man was stabbed in three'i
or four places and bis threat was cut. '
Both arms and both leg* were severad I
eloe to the body, the operation having
been pet formed ia far from a bungling
manner. II
t'ddeixook cannot bo found He Is, or I
xs aa till lately, on tha Ilalilmqre police

The object of the murder was unquos- i
tlonable plunder. There were no cloths* i
to be found except sb.HM. It Is reported ,

garded herself as his lawful wife. She ad- 1
dresses hiui a* "My dear Charley," and 1
"My dearest husband."
Tho letters of both likewise show that
tbey were married, or went through a 1
ceremony which she supposed to be a law- '
fbl marriage, on May 10, 1872, in New
York, slid were registered as mail and 1
W'fe at the Asbtun house. Three of bis

The second tells hr, "It is better for both '
that we should separate." The third tell* 1

THK IRON CLAD OATH
SPEECH OF HON - 8 BLACK, INI
the constitution aL con
vention, JUNE SB, 1878.
The following saction was proposed as'
an amendment to the constitution of Penn
sylvania .
See. U Within twenty days after the ad - i
journuent of the general assembly sine'
die.every u.e*liber of the bouse of repre-:
tentative* and every senator whose term
will expire at lb* next general election,
shall take and subscribe betotv some
afflrer qualified to administer owibs, the
following oath* or affirmation -
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) tbat, as
a member of the general assembly, I have '
supported and obeyed tbe convolution of
this commonwealth to the best of my
knowledge and ability. 1 have not.
knowingly listened to corrupt private
solicitation from interested parties or their
agents, nor have I received any gift or
promise of a gift, from any such parties or
from any candidate. I have not voted or|
spoken on any matter in which I had, or
expected to have a private interest. I
have not done, or permitted to be done,
any act wh>ch would make rne guilty of
bribery. 1 have observed tba order and
form* of legislation at prescribed by th*
constitution, and 1 have not knowingly
voted or spoken for any law. bill or rcso.
iution, which I knew, or believed to be in
consistent therewith.
The foregoing oath or affirmation shall
be filed in th* office of tha prothonotary of
the pounty in which the senator or repru
sentative reside* -, and if any such senator
or representative shall fail to taka and file
tan? oath or affirmation within tbe time
prawci ibed (unless unavoidably prescribed
ha shall be forever afterwards disqualified
from holding auy office of trust or profit
within this commonwealth ; and if in Uk
ing such oath or affirmation it shall appear
'.hat he ba* knowingly sworn or affirmed
falsely, ho shall be deemed guilty of par
jury and also disqualified a* aforesaid-
This taction being under discussion,
JuJgr lilark spoke as follows:
Ma. PaxsiDrsT: I will not make any
argument in favor of this saction. )t ba*
i been thoroughly discussed already. Eve
ry metnbsr of the house has made up hi*
mind long ago. Ido not believa that the
opinion* or sentiments of any member can
be changed now. I judgo ethers by my
self. I will not surrender my convictions,
! and 1 do not expect any other member to
surrender his. This is a body which
knows it* own mind and cannot ba .blown
about by every wind of doctrine. I there
fore say to these who differ from me, lira
on in yoqr faith, but I will file In ifiine.
Tho whole subject i* indeed too simple
j for argument. The fact cannot be ques
tioned that our legislature is and ha* been
utterly; corrupt For years tha three
house* (counting the lobby as a house)
have been weltering together In ono dis
gusting mass of moral putcfraction. No
man dares to deny this. The evidence of
it is conclusive, irreaistable and over
whelming. It i*J admitted by. every maa
on Ibis floor except three or four who have
made feeble and futile attempts to deny it.
One of tbe most distinguished gentlemen
in this body—ho who won bis fame a*
chief magistrate of the commonwealth,
and added to its lustre by his high career
us a diplomat—while he deprecate* this
measure of prevention, not only admits our
legislation to be corrupt, but add* bis
testimony that the great office of United
States Senator is bought and sold, as well
es corporate franchise* and appropriation
hill*. Shame I shame forever to the man
who I* willing to |>rpeluate this infamy 1
The honest and respectable of our
people will not endure it with patience.
If we cat) help it wo *>H not have the
hoo(* of thea beast* on our necks any
longer.
"Large-handed robbers your grave mas
ters are,
\ nd pill by law I"
If you would uut hayc this degrading
slavery fastened forever on your children,
rise now ; throw off your shackles; hew
thi-in link from link. But you won't do
it; it is not in you.
I not only decline to argue tho facts, but
I mean to be silent upon the print iple and
policy of ll;j* amendment. If any man
thinks it good to live under a government
which habitually betrays and plunders
bint, lot him enjoy in peace the hug* satis
faction which llarrisburg will afford him.
Betides, 1 cannot argue with a man who
believes legislative corruption is a thing
to bo defended or tolerated in a civilized
and christian cemmunity. If a gentle
u>au wishes to (jqbate tbe morality of mur
der or rapo or robbery or hops* stealing or
arson. I will endeavor to proT* tbat all
those are very hurtlol crimes, and al gent
ly a possible 1 will try to vindicate tbe
law* which forbid tbero. But bribery
nod corruption in tfia fnaking of our laws
is not oj en to discussion ; I will not bear
end 1 will not nw<• any .Irfm.a of it
which mn be mads—no, nut If an angel
frum heaven wuulil make It
But lhr ii another question u|>un
I which we divide. Shall wa swear tba
member* of tha legislature to execute
their trust ? Will ws make It Iron oladT
Will wa compel them to taka It*whan
thev go in, and whan they come out, and
make it so plain that if they commit any
act of unfaithfulness they will tee that it
expose* them to all the penalties of par*
Jury in thi* world and thenextT Wi twe
to ahape it that it mutttpeak to their con*
; •ciencaa of penitentiary and ditfranohite-
I ntenl a* wall at damnation to their eternal
eoult! The convention will probably
answer thit in the negative—Among our
leading man hare there it a luauifett oppo
tition to any specific oath for legiilatort
which might impada tbair inlarcouraa
with (ha ha*e miacraanta of tba lobby. It
it not oath* in general that ara objected to
—We all admit that Judgea, jurora and
witneate* ought to be twarn. Wa da not
let an arbitrator or a read viawar under
take hit doty without putting bim un
der oath. Tha iiuelleat private irutl U
guarded by ualha of great tolemnity. Aa
executor, administrator or guardian mutt
promise on oath beforehand that ba wilt j
be faithful, and alierwardi ha inutt iwaar
again to evarv transaction, item by item,
that be has boiiaatly executed hit trutl.
All tbit ia admitted l<> b* necetaary arid
proper. But when it cornea to a wearing a
member of the legislature that be ha* not
betrayed or will not betray tba bigb and
tacred trust repoaed in him then thia con
vention raiaea It* hand*>nd turn* up the
whites of itt eyea in holy horror When
ever an oath is proposed that abridgat the
corrupting influence of the lobby, then
the piety of toiue gentlemen get* awfully
thocked, end they have tender religieut
scruple* against the multiplication of oaths.
It U impossible evtn to pacify them by as
turing them that in tbeir case we will on
ly ask litem to affirm.
It is especially necessary that this oath
against receiving gift* shall be taken in
view of the condition in which your con-;
stitution i* put by the thirteenth section
of the article on legislation. There is a
definition of bribery there which makes
any gift of money t*> a member of the leg
islature perfectly innocent and legal unless
you can connect it with words or acta
which espies* or impress or imply a con
tract between the giver and the receiver
that the money is paid for the vote and
the vote given for the money. You must
affirmatively prove a corrupt bargain.
The mere receipt of money from interest
ed party is net bribery. This it an en
tirely new rule and gives unlimited li
cense to the most open end shameless cor
ruption.
Sir Robert \\ alpoia said tbat avary
man bad his price ; and b* bought the
bouse of common* by putting n bank of
England bill for th* propel amount into
each member's voal pocket, without say
ing a ward. Under your new constitu-
I lion that would not be bribery.
Tbe gift* bastowad on Lord Bacon were
not ana of llitm accompanied by n contract
1 tbat ba should decree in favor of th* don
ur Tbay prolcssad to be merely presents;
and he declare 1 to the end of his life that
jhe never wa* in (act influenced by tbam.
Yet be wa* found guilty on bl* own con
fasaion. "I do acknowledge," said he,
, tbat law guilty of corruption. "
Tbe great Yaxoo fraud in 17W wnsj
managed without a bargain A body of
aJventurers applied to the legislature of
Georgia (or a grant of the public domain
ami gut it simply distributing among tbe
mrmbor* deeds for a portion of tbe land.
Tba next legislature repealed tbe law—
lore it 'out of tbe statute book- burnt it
ignomlniouslv in tbe public square—or-
dered tbe coutl* to expunge from the
rsrordi of every county nil papers that ra-'
cited iL "To the intent," say* tha repeal
ing law, "that no remeniberance of this in
famous transaction may remain on th#
earth, except this, it* solemn condemna
tion." But tbat was no crime if your defi
nition of bribery be a good en*.
Neither wa* tbe La Crosse railroad com
pany guilty of bribing lb# W isronsin leg
islature Tbe bond* of the company were
laid upon the desks of members, thrust in
to the bands of h* governor and put upon j
tbe table* of tba judges, but no promiaa, \
agreement or contract, no undarstanding, |
express or implied, was bad that any vote!
should be given or withheld.
)f it ba true tbqt piottey in iarga amounts
was openly distributed at llarrtsburg t*
the member* at tbe taverns, on tbe streets
and?*n tbo ball* of the two bouse*, at the
time when the tonnage tax was repealed.
,it did not come within your definition of
bribery. Caldwell, M'Donald, Patterson,
'(all deeciples of the Harrisburg School,l
never gave a bribe ar took one before or l
after their election to the United States
senate. Am** and and Alley and the
whole credit mobilier set are guilt
less because they made no bargnini far
the votes they bought with tbe stock'
which "tbey pieced where it would do
j most good."
Why, Mr. President, If the new consti
tution passes in iu present shape any
body that pleases may sellout a table, piled
with greenbacks ia tho rotundn of the
State capital, and with perfect impunity;
hand them out ta the member* of both;
house* as tbey pas* through, provided be
d>es not do or say anything which can be
; construed as a bargain for vote*. I have
| no right to My tbat the saction I allude ta
| was designed by its fratner to have this
•candalou# effect. It look* like a mere
, ignorant bungle. If it stand* it will dia
j grace the intelligence if not the integrity
of this convention forever.
I Let me be understood. 1 assert that
| tba mere naked receipt of money, proper
ty or other valuable thing by any efllcar,
judicial, executive or legislative, from a
person who ha* an Interest in his official
action ii ipso facto bribery, though it be
uot given for a vole era judgment, but
wholly without any understanding of that
kinder of any kind. Nay, if th# officer
declares that he will act against the inter
ests of the donor, nnd even if he does act
ually vote or decide against him, it is still
bribery, upon the principles settled (hree
thousand year* ago, that "a gift blindeth
the eye and persertelh the judgment of
the righteous."
I have refered to this part of the article
on legislation to show that unless you
swear your legislators against taking gifts
you have no protection nt all against bri
bery. You must have something to ?oun
teraet the corruption which that article
invites, unless you desire to throw the
reins loose on the neck ef these scoundrels
•nd let them carry you witheraoever they
please. If it be your will and the will ol
the people yeu represent to have no check
upon tba rampant'corruptlon th it reigns
and riot* at Harrisburg, you have given
yourselves much unnecessary troublx
about elect ion law* and tha apportionment
of the district*. What matters it how tbe
legislature is cborpp if the lobby is to
govern u* any hew ? They may a* woli be
the spawn of a fraudulent ballot-box as
not.
Hut I am not speaking with tho remotest
prospect thnt this measure can be carried.
We are out on a forlorn hope. From the
time it wa* first proposed until now, the
foremost men of this body have given
it every possible mark of their dislike. It
would be received, I am sure, with almost
rapturous approval by the honest people
of tho stale, hut is not intonded here that
people shall have a chance to express
their opinion on it. The utmost 1 expect
is a square vote agaist me. But the
record will attest tbat I have done uiy [du
ty faithfully, though feebly. The prepo
sition will be voted down, corruption will
be throned and ceptered and crowned;
the lease of power #lll be Indefinitely ex
tended to the men who rule u* for their
pleavure and plunder us for their profit.
Let all the ring* rejoice.
