The Tuten Republican say*. "The
party in power has done, and is continu
ing to do, more than these sham re
formers promise." That's, true, the
democrats never promised to give
away the entire public doinaiu to a set
of speculators, free of cost ; the dem
ocrats never promised to enact a sal
ary grab; the democratic party never
promised to inflict a Credit Mobilier
scandal upon the country —the "party
in power" has been guilty of all these
abuses.
Bob Mackey has been n.tmiualed
for State Treasurer by the raJicals of
this State. This mau Mackey is the
chief of the Peunstlvauia ring of
thieve*. He has filled the office of
State Treasurer several years already,
and the ring members have fattened
immensely under his management of
the state finances. This is notorious.
The poople know, and feel, aud com
plain that their money, poured iuto
the treasury by the tax collectors, has
been squandered, and that a set of po
litical vultures have filled their pur-
Ma out of tbe funds of the common
wealth. Now, remember, ye tax-pay
ers, this was done by tbe Bob Mack
ey-Treaaary Ring, and in October you
will have an opportunity to say wheth
er you will sustain these treasury
loaches.
Die Democratic party in different sec
tion* of tbe Union appears to be in a itste

tbat once powerful party will be laid by
tbe side of it* old peer, tbe Whig party.
Lewis burg Chronicle.
So, and yet the Chronicle for the
last ten years has been pronouncing
the democratic party dead, and now
it give* it a "few years more" only.
There is a lie somewhere.
Sixth— Th*t there should be rigid
economy in the State sod national admin
istrations
This is one of the batch of resolu
tions passed by ths "addition, division
and silence" party in their state
coavention, a few days ago, —a eon
vantiaa that was engineered by Bill
Kemble, of "addition division and si
lance" fame in the Evans swindle, and
by Simon Cameron, Bill Mann, and
otber like radicals. Where, in tbe
state or national government, has this
party shown tbat it is in favor of
economy ? Have tbey not increased
tbe expenditures of tbe goverment all
around, from Ato Izxard ? Is it not
notorious tbat there is less economy
now than ever before? Millions are
now spent where, heretofore, under
danocratic rule, thousands were ap
propriated to carry on the government.
The people are demanding economy,
bat the radicals in power give them
nothing but the most shameful waste
and extravagance. The masses have
cried for bread and their rulers have
given them a stone. Suck professions
as tbe above, coming from such a
source, are an insult to the people.
Seventh —Thst the public lends belong
to the people and should be sacredly re
, served fer homes for actual settlers, aud
we pronounce againit all further it™ ll ** of
thme lands to corporations.
60 say the rads in their platform,
adopted at Harrisburg, a few days
ago. Now who else was it, but tbe
radicals that bestowed nearly all tho
public lands—tbe cream of them—
upon railroad speculators, free of cost?
Tie actual settler must pay market
price for every inch of this soil be gets
and the land-grabbers, who got these
lands for nothing from tbe radical con
gress, with the signature of Grant,
bare become princes in wealth, and
onr, when this outrage has been com
mitted, a radical state convention has
Ike audacity to pass a bypocrital reso- {
lntaon like tbe above.
Tenth— Thst we heartily denounce cor-
ruption wherever found, and are sincerely
desirous for honesty economy and politi
cal purity in official administrations. To
secure this is tbe duty of every citizen, and
to this end every good man should feel
bound, not only to participate in politics,
but to labor actively to see that none but
good men secure party appointments or
nomination.
The above is tbe tenth resolution
passed by the rad state convention,
last week. It reads well and is sound
but tbe party wbicb passed it is as un
sound upon upon that plank s any
rotten thing can be. It is the devil]
rebuking sin, for tbe party that makes
the above declaration is tbe quintes
aaace of corruption. Wby dou't
they come right out and denounce
Gnat's double salary grab, gm) bis
little black Friday affair by which he
and the unsettled the
money market and brought ruin upon
thousands of business houses. It
looks nice to see these radicals de
nounce corruption—it is hypocrisy all
simply intended to de
voters.

The Tuteu Republican is bothering
itself just now about sotX> extra sala
ry, takeu by Mr. Meek when a mem
ber of the legislature. They and
their sheet need uol get iuto a fever
about that, it don't begin to beiin off
set 'agaiust the radical congressional
salarv grab. Suppooe they pay some
atteulion to that subject, and not bide
behind what Mr. .Vet*k did —a thing
which occurred when they were eat
iug wooden hams up in Connecticut ;
besides it cost no taxes out of the pock
etsofths Tuten's if Meek did takefioOt)
extra salary, for they were then in
Yaukcedom, and Mr. Meek was in
Peunsy Ivauia. What the people are
more concerned about just now, is the
big congressional salary steal, signed
bv Grant, aud not the |ooo extra pay
takeu by Mr. Meek, and which tbe
Tuteu sheet makes so much ado at
this late day.
THE SALARY HILL
Here is a bit of uews that will suit
Grant. His double pay must stick
aud cant be repealed.
Tbe fact does not seem to Ik* gener
ally knowu that if Congress next w in
ter repeals what is known a* the in
crease of salary bill, such repeal would
not affect either the salary of the Pres
ident or those of the judges of tbe
Supreme Court, which will continue
to remain as fixed by the bill iiassed
last session. Article second of the
coustituliou provides that the Presi
dent shall, at stated times, receive for
his services a compensation, which
shall neither be increased or dimin
ished during tho period for which he
shall be elected," and section 1, of
article 3, providft that judges of the
Supreme Court and inferior courts,
shall, at stated times, receive for their
services a compensation which shall
uot be diminished during their con
tinuance iu office.

PENNSYLVANIA.
[From N. Y. Tribune, August 14.]
Much to their owu surprise appar
ently, as to the surprise of everybody
else, th? opponents of the corrupt
Philadelphia "Ring" succeeded yes
terday in defeating the "King" can
didate for Judge of the Supreme Court
in the Republican State Convention
at Harrisburg. The "Ring" candi
date for Treasurer, U. )V Mackey,
was nominated with but slight show
of opposition ; but when the nomina
tion of Judge of the Supreme Court
for tha term of fifteen yean came up,
there was a sharp and prolonged con
test. The Philadelphia "Ring" or
system of "Rings," is mora complete,
if possible, than was the Tammnny or
ganization in this city* It controls
all the departments and all the patron
age of the'city, snd is almost irapreg
nably intrenched in being in
some departments entirely beyond the
reach of supervision or investigation ;
it is, in fact, almost absolute and self
perpetuating, Jo Pennsylvania, how
ever, as in New York, the "Ring" has
found it necessary to own the courts
as well as control the patronage, and
the fight made by the "Ring" dele
gates at Harrisburg yesterday was
with thia object. The "Ring" candi
date, Judge Paxson, was urged upon
the Convention bv such a patron as
CoioDel William B. Mann, whose ad
ministration of the office of District-
Attorney in the interest of his politi
cal friends and dependents is only too
well known. The old argument was
U9ed of course, that unless the Phila
delphia "Ring" caudidate was nomi
nated the Democrats would nomiuate
some such man as Judge Ludlow, and
elect him. But the country delegates
had heard enough of that sort of talk,
they said, and so after teu baliots with
Paxsou leading almost up to the last
moment, Judge Gordon, of Jefferson
county, who was the candidate of the
Western section of the State, was nom
inated by a majority and by the un
ion of the friends of the other candi
dates upon him.
The importance of this defeat of the
Ring will be appreciated in the light
of the remark reported to have beco
made (tending the nomination, that
the Ring had got to nominate und
elect Paxson to keep themselves out
of the State Prison. The inactivity
and apathy of toipp pf the political
magnates who hav<s always psej the
Ring and profited by its rascalities,
excited considerable indignation and
wrathful comment, and threats were
made if carried out would be likely to
afTect seriously the political fortunes
of thasp gentlemen. But Senator
Cameron andftogerftpr JJartrnnft and
the rest of the threatened statesmen
doubtless know their men and feed rea
sonably safe. The withdrawal of
these prominent politicians from ac
tive participation in the management
of tfie Convention is not difficult of in
terpyefotfon. The signs of the times
are not auspicious for Ring?, Nation
al, State or Municipal, and in an ''off,
year" in politics they think it is hard-'
ly worth while to stand out in the
storm for fN benefit of their Phila
delphia friend*. is one of the
indications that publicopinio,! L liv
ing a good effect upou lie politicians. |
How much the defeat of the "Ring"
candidate and the nomination of
Jubge Gordon means, it is not possN
ble now to determine, it Is wail
enough to consider before building
too much upon it that the result is
due not so pipch to a genuinejjhostili
ty to a genuine ftoptiiily to "Ring"
rule and corrupt government po the
local and personal considerations]
which entered largely into the can-|
i vass. It is safe enough to rejoice over j
the defeat of the "Ring" candidate,
but hw great an advance ha* been
made in the purification of politics,
or what progress in obtaining a pure
and incorruptible judiciary, time
alone will determine. The Reformers
in Pennsylvania have a long, bard
tight before lliern vet. Many of
them have contributed to build up the 4
"King" they are now making war
upon by their blind adhesion to cau
cus nominations. The strength o!
the Philadelphia aud ot all ollnr
"Rings" is in the partisanship of the
people and their unquestioning sup
|Hrt of regular nomination*. When
party allegiance i hmscnod the
"Ring*" fall asntndor. I hat i the
lesson the people are slowly learn
ing.
TILK OHIO DEMOCRACY.
WM. Al.t.KN's st'KIA'U-W IIKKK TIIIC
lIKMOCItATIC I'AUTY erANUS.
On Friday evening la*t W tlliuiu
Allen, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio, was serenaded at
his home in t'hillicolhe. A large
number of hi* enthusiastic triends
were present, and to a short addrr**
from L. F. Neal the next (iovernor
responded as follow*:
MY Friends and Fellow citizen*:
During my life I have bad much
experience in tbe ebb aud flow of po
litical sentiment and feeling in the
United States, I have seen the peo
ple constantly arrayed agint each
Other, actuated in their feelings, and
formed into opposing masses by con
flicting ideas and interests, and these
masse* have always been dignified by
the name of parties. Absolute unan
imity of feeling aud sentiment is not
to be expeoted among mankind on
any subject, because of tbe different
views they cntertaiu, and which dif
ference of views orgaiiiss them iuto
hostile array —the one side against ;
the other. As long as mankind en
joys free governnieut, free thought,
free speech, aud a free press, there
must be a division of sentiments.
There are always two broad distinc
tious taken with regard to party. In
every free government there must be
two parties, and outside of these j>ar
| ties will always be found little factions
{and ephemeral knots of dissatisfied
men that spring up in a siugle night
and as suddenly pass away in the morn
ing. We will, however, never sec the
day when the two groat original pat
ties will cease to exist, though their
Hilars may and undoubtedly will be
changed- If you suppose that it is a
great calamity to have two great par
ties you are mistaken. Vi hen auv
party, no matter of whom composed,
has no restraint, it* leaders abuse the
power entrusted to them. It has been
said that the Democratic organixaliyn t
to a certain exteut, acted unwisely in
attempting to restrain the unbridled
fury of tho opposition in the late
great struggle in this country. Ibis
is a grave mistake. The passions of
the other party carried them devood
what their sober prudence would have
| dictated in their conduct of the late
war, and it was necessary that while j
j the Union should be preserved intact,
and the supremacy and dignity of the
' Federal Government vindicated, the
matter should not be allowed to run j
j into tbe channels of bloody revenge; j
: therefore it became necessary that the
1 Democratic party should cuter pro- j
j test, and that Northern feeling should
intercede when these ends had becu
accomplished, and had it not been
■ for this protest on the part of the
Democracy, let me ask vou, where
would the war have ended ? You can
answer in the destruction of the whole
South aud tho Southern ptople. But
the destructive feelings found its check
in the North, and mainly in the Dem
ocratic organization. The Democra
cy said to their friends in the other
j partv, prosecute the war to that point
that is necessary to insure the salva
i tion of the Union, and then stop the
shedding of blood. In that case the
sentimept so expressed was the salva
tion of the country. T}ie Democracy
of tho North scut forth large numbers
of their young men to aid in fighting
the battles for the preservation of the
Government, but when that end was
accomplished, aud the Southern
people checked in their headlong oa
reer, involving the disruption of the
country, the Democratic party be
lieved that it was time to stop, and
implored the Federal Government not
to deyafUtte the whole country. The
mistake was not zq ipt-'ch in "the war
as in the conduct pursued when peace
was declared. Then the taxes should
have been reduced and everything put
upon a peace-footing, but tbe Repub
lican parly did nol lrv to conciliate or
soothe the peopie o tj;e South, neither
did they try to reduce tbe expencea
or put a stop to the rapid and unne
cessary accumulation of the public
debt. Flushed with victory, a victory
they were aiJed in acquiring by tbe
Democratic organization, they carried
the power they had acpuired during
the war into their government of the
Southern people in time of peace.
But it is not my purpose now to go
into a gene;-#) discussion of these mat
ters. The time ha* now toipe for ac
tion, and I say to you, my friends,
that next to the act of abolishing a
free government would be ilic aboli
tion of the Democratic party. What
is Democracy ? Is it not a govern
ment of tbe people 1 It js simply a
government for tne whole people, and
not fornny special or |>articular class.
We, as pemocrats, are iu favor of no
special laws that in tbe least look to
the favoring of classes. The great
point now at stake is whether the Gov
ernment shall be carried on by tbe
people as a unit, or by a few persons
who live to fill their coffers and en
rich themselves and their descendants
ot the expense of the people ; sucking
uway at the public moueys until they
resemble the rat in the meal-tub, that
bud eaten so much that he could not
get out at tho bugg-Jioie, and all these
men are retained in office aud aided
in their plundering* by the Federal
machinery. Not one in fifty in the
Republican party —and by Republi
can parly I mcau the masses, and not
the office-holders —will cry out that
tlipy y;ant things to remaiu us they
now stand. tTo hutpap being jg tbe
United Ktutes, who is not a paid offi
cer of the Government, can deny the
fact that the corruptionsexisting have
dissutisfied nine huudred and nine
ty-uiuo out of every thousand in the
country, and the Democracy iutend
tbaf tjjp/ sh'iU have un opportunity j
of remedying these eyjlu. Do the
gentlemen who hold public offices pro
pose any reform ? Not one of them.
We want it changed, but they have
no change to propose, if these things
nre to eoplipue as they are what is the
use of Dispeople* voting wtptlt |Yhat
is tho use of holding annua) elhctVoiis ?
All these office- holders want is to be
letalonP- If they do not propose to
listen to the remonstrances of the peo
ple, ex pressed ut the ballot-box in fa
vor of reform, we had just better say
to them to keep tbe offices for life.
These are the simple questions before
ithe poodle. made these re
i murks, allow trie tb fuvife ever/ loan
into the house to sit and talk awhile.
HIGH HA LA R IRK OR NONE AT
ALL
It begins to Lmk it* if the <|tic*lun
is likely soon to bo, not whether Con
gressmen were paid euuugh before
the late salary steal, hut whether they
ought to bt> paid at all. Heretofore
the Kngliah system of unpaid legisla
tion has always I won denounced as
ummitcd to the wniils of a republican
country mid calculated to Later aris
tocratic institutions, The Nation,
however, being moved thereto by Sen
ator Carpenter's late defense of the
salary grab, takes issue with the ar
gtiment that the paying of Congress
men insures the possibility of sending
jvoor men to Congress, and thus, in
fact, makes it, as it ought to be, a
poor man's government. The Nation
savs:
"Coiigrea*, instead of baitig a |>oor
man'* legislature, i* the legislature of
'large interest*' ami of 'great corpo
ration*.' While the uii]*a d uietubci*
of I'arlinmrnt were forcing the Kug
lish railway* to run cheap trains tor
poor men, which the |H)pular gratitude
litis termed 'Parliamentary train*,'
Congreaa lias In-en giving away the
public lands io railway cor|n>rationa
While the rich tucu of the House of
Common* were keeping Hampetead
Heath open for the jmor of Loudon
against the eucroachiueuU of a rich
nobleman, Congress was presenting
Mr. Thomas Scott with s.'ioo,(K)o
worth of property iu one of the parks j
of Washington. During the |NMt
year the Supreme Court ha* affirmed!
the validity of what are known as the 1
Twenty Per Ceut cases, in which
something like 2,100 laboring men
were interested. Vet Congress, while
the test cu-e* were |>ending, took a
way from the Treasury the power to
audit and pay them after a decision
should bo reached, and it hiu actually
j compelled each of thceo 2,100 lat>or-'
■ ing men to bring bis individual uit iu
i the Court of Claims to recover on an
average about $125, where the At
i lornev General sai compelled to ad
! mit Oiat the Government had no de-
Icnse —and this at the very time that
Mr. Carpenter and his associates were
voting themselves a gratuity of 9<V
000 a piece, aud raising I hair pros
pective compensation 50 per cent per
annum. With such facts before the
country, it is both untruthful aud
foolish for Mr. Carpeuter to set up
his paid legislature a* the representa
tive brniv of poor men. The expeii
enceof mankind shows conclusively
that when a poor man has brains or
euergy enough to push his way iuto|
| a legislative body, he Is much more
] apt to be intent uu getting rich him
Uelf than on looking alter the inter.*U
iof his fellow s iu poverty. The web
, fare of the poor depends, as it always
i has depended upou the cultivated
| intelligence ami conscientious sym
pathy of the legislator, and these
<|ua)i!iee, all the world over, are leat
I found iu men who are eugaged in the
struggle of getting their head* higher
| than their neighbors."
It claims that with unpaid legisla
lion a body of men might be depend
ed on who would serve gratuitously
for the saLo of gatuiug eo-ne distinc
tion, just as men now on School Hoards
and public charities work zealously,
accomplishing much aud receiving
nothing, and concludes that, at any
rate, the effect of more pay is only
evil, and that continually.
"The great number of our legisla
ture forbids, from the economic point
of view, the payment ot an excessive
salary, though the causes which we
have indicated require a reasonable
allowance toward a member's expens
es. But experience proves that with
every increase of pay there is a dimin
ution in the quality of our represent
j atives, and that remunerative legisla
tive salaries are breeding a class of
professionals whose trade is politics,
and whose ouly livelihood is what
I they uiu out of their seat. The
i nearer we have approached to gra
tuitous service, the more pure aud
honorable that service has been ; and
while poor men may have been de
barred trom taking to Congress for
a living, an intelligent and upright
legislature has secured the greatest
good of the greatest number."
TERRIBLE DISASTER.
| A Growii of If omen. Struck by Light
riiny.in the Wyoming I -alley.
Scranton, August 12.—A terrible
| catastrophe occurred this afternoon
on the hills, üboul five miles from this
city, at a place called Kuhn's Patch.
A large number of women and girls
were on the (tills gathering berries,
when a storm came up from the south 1
aud they rushed to an untenanted
building to take shelter from the
down-pouring raiu.
About forty-one womcu and chil
dren found room in the old house,
while seven were oblige'! to stand
outside under the storm. With the
increasing storm the sheets of fire be
gan to descend, the lightning more vi
vid the peels of thun<fcr seeming to ad
vance from distant caverns until the
old building began to tremble. At
length a lightning shaft, more vivid
than any that had j receeded it, de
see;;(led upon the unhappy group of
women and girls, killing two of them
aud scorching in a frightful manuer
four others, tearing the flesh off their
limbs and producing a heart-sickening
scene among the panic stricken wo
mcu. For some time even those who
had not been touched by the electric
fire were paralyzed by the appalling
sight they had seen and were unable
to render any assistance.
The groans of those fatally injured
and the six other suffering yictiais
were heart-rending, and the utter
helplessness of the poor women and
girls was pitiable. Word was sent
eveutually to Scranton, and with the
utmost dispatch messengers were sent
over the hill to the scene of the dis
aster with wagouß, medical attendance
and bedding on which to convey the
dead and wounded to the city. Two
of the women who stood optaidc the!
shed said that the excitement was so
iulense when they left the shocking
scene that they could not hear to go
into the old house nor to hear the
moans of those within who were suf
fering from the most excrutiating
agony.
The road leading from Bcrauton to
the' sad sceue is almost impassable,
being completely flooded at several
points ; and it will he a late hour to
night before those who have gone there
with wagons can return to tlie city.

THK NEW CONSTITUTION
M a KniTon .In a former communica
tion I took occasion to answer torn* objec*
Ilions which bad been offered la that por
tian u( tho Constitutional Convention's
work which bear* upm lha subject af
special legislation. These objections, as
yuu ar awaro appeared ia lha column* af
otic of our county paper* and are lha
prelude of all aclive opposition la the new
Constitution, which lie* bvan planned in
the craay brain* of oiua of our rlsg
ileri. Their plan wai lo insert occasional
article* iu (lie column* uf Ibal paper, in
which the convention'* wark waa lo ha
placed in a* unfavorable a Itghi at poasi
hie, and o create a prejudice In the popu
lar uiiiid against that body, and, conaa
queMly, against iu woik. While moat of
our Slate paper* have bean frequently till
ed with article* lauding the Convention,
oor "organ 'ha* bean painfully tilanl on
thi* .object It ran find little or nothing
lo cjfuraend in the vatt labor* of thi* di
tinguiehad body of men, and whan it daaa
open iu mouth it I* only to find fault and
to arrogate lo iUelf a wisdom and loraalghl
far tuperior la that uf the gra*tet ttala*-
uiou and juriata of lb* ag*. Now, to coun
teract it in the bud. we ncad only caution
the people of tb* county a* to tb* catwa of
thi* taUt-Anding tpiril which characUriaa*
m**t ot it* article* about lb* Convention.
But, in order that thay way net have even
the shadow of a hope of organizing *uch
an opposition, w* propo** to tab* up the
objection, which thay have offered, and
will offer to the Convention'* work, t*
analyse thrw, and to tbow upon how shal
low a ba*i* they r*L Like lha gourd of
old, they spring up iu a night, and at the
(r*t appearance of the *un light of intelli
gence they vanish.
To continue our remark*, we have .till
.ouicwhat lo ay on lha new provision in
regard to special legislation. It has boon
objected lo thi* new article that it will
curtail our right., and the people are un
willing to do thi*. In tbi* one short sen
tence, Iwo false itateweuU appear. The
uew Constitution so far from abridging the
righu of the people, will eitend them.
I Uudci the preseul system, the rich man is
favored aud the poor man i* neglected.
The latter class are unable to avail them
selves of the bent-flu which they ought lo
receive, because of the lo** of time and
luuery which will be incurred in going lo
and ftoui ilarrisburg in order to secure
the passage of some special law; while
lb* farmer is able to forego these losses,
and nlso lo use the monetary argument—
ehich has beet, found so seductive af leg
j itlalive.honor, to secure ibe passage of ua
ijust laws which will inure lo hi* own per
sonal interest, llut b* will net lose by
the passage of such laws. The money ex
pended i* merely nn investment which will
repay him tenfold. Another evil connect
ed with the piasent system it the difficulty
in securing the passage.afgcod special laws.
This class of legislation seem. I* have been
placed entirely at the dupeaal of "jcb
bcrs." It requires n good effort to awaken
any internet among our legislative soloes ia
favor of popular legislation. In fact, it
may be regarded as prima facu evidence
against tb* integrity of a transaction that
;it has been brought about by a special
law. Take, for esample, th* granting of a
divorce by tb* legislature. Tha courts
hove power to Kraut divorce* in every
cose in which they should bejgraiilcd, and
in uch cate* a* lb# court* have power the
j l*f(i*lature bat not Yel wc bad, in every

i' law patted covering most of theae cate* if
there wa* the leatl jul>ce in the ground*
upon which they are demanded. But
there i* a Ireaaea for thi* frequency of leg
islative divorcee ; tkrri u'.mvnry iiL A
rich man become* tired of a wife who be*
been faithful to him She ha* given him
1 no caute of offence, end ha* kept her vow*
. itrictly, to that he ha* no ground* upon

how subservient our legislators are to the
i money-king, and how omnipotent, lie

member of Ibel dithonereble body, acd in

commonwealth of Pennsylvania, end the

and a poorer man. The advantage in thi*
method of obtaining n divnrce i lt/eeif
1 fy. The whole proce** i* ruhed through
with lightning rapidity, end very often he
fore the injured party can prevent a coun
ter petition, or even i* aware thel ouch e
lew i* thought of. Such being the cn*e, j
where i* the candid man who will *ay that
thi*power far evil should not he wre*ted
' from our legiilature * I* virtue of *o lit-,
tie value that we (halt allow it to h j
auctioned off by a body of dissolute and
debauched men? Shall we continue te
allow them to injure the innocent, and to
defend tha guilty, and that in tha name of.
the people of Pentsylvania? Thi* U on*

itlatian. Thi* lion* efthe power* which i,
to be wreted from the "representative* of
the people" and le be lodged inlhecourts;
and the sooner it be done, the better will
it he for the people.
We have shown that the n*w lnw will
not curtail our rights, but will only trans
fer tbeiu from one branch of the govern
ment lo another, thereby bringing ibpm
nearer the people, end securing n more
careful guardianship of them. Let u*
next look at the second objection, rin:
that the people nreun willing to abridge their
rights- We grant this ; but deny that it
be* any bearing upon the question in paint,
(jur government i* divided into three
branches,—the executive, legislative, and
judiciary,—which scrva a* aatuial re- i
slrainM, and have been placed as custq
dians over the people's intorost*. The care
of what right* shall be granted to each in
dividual branch is for Ine people to decide
and can be learned ouly through experi- 1
ence. Now experience he* shown thel j
tho legislature is unable to guard proper- ,
ly certain of the rights entrusted to it, and 1
so the people have determined to transfer
those right* to another branch of govern
ment But if thi* curtailing popular
rights ? It not the judiciary jutt as
much a popular branch of government
a* the legislature ? Restricting the legis
lature it not restricting the people. Hav
ing reduced it to this, let u* next tee
whether the people are unwilling to re
st ict the legislature. They need .not go
hitc|f very far jn our state history to decide
tbls point. Article VII Sec. 4, ef our
present Constitution *ay*: The legislature
shall not invest apy corporate body er in
dividual with the privilega ef taking pri
vate property for public use, without
requiring such corporation or individual to
make compensation to tbe owners of said
property, or jjive adequate security,there
fore before such property shall be taken."
Art. XI. Sec. 9, of the same instrument
says: No bill shall be passed by the
legislature granting any powers or privi
leges in any case where the authority to
grant such powers or privilages ha* boon
or may hereafter be conferred upon tbe
courts of this commonwealth." Hero we
havp at ieftsl tfo rp|lrifi|jppi ppop the leg
islature. J)oe this show an qnwillingness
on the part of tbe people to transfer power
from this body to tbe courts? On tho
contrary, they have granted to tbe legisla
ture itself authority to make sucb e trans
fer, end that body Las not been unwilling ,
to avail itself of this privilege. The pow
ers to decree divorces, to adopt children, >
to (.teste ipd alter election districts, to
1
grant charters of incorporation to numer
ous associations, have all baan transfers*)
to tba court* by lb* legislature, and no one
ha* avar bad reus* to ragrat tba change
Besides, under tba new order of thing*,
tba rla** of |acial act* which will )•*
sanctioned will bo mora Juki and batter
than those w* now bare. It I* a nofori
ou* fact, that ph ia! legislation, a* at pros

which < ur law maker* hid* their poculn
tion and rubbery. Iluw ele can w* ac
count fur the tact that three-fourth* of the
men lent to II arris burg become opulent In
a few } ear*. Their salary i* a mere pit
tance. and barely tufßce* to meet lb* or
dinary eipaasa* of a man liring in a city.
Thar* are no perquisite* attached to the of
fice whereby they could obtain tbi* dis
proportionate wealth No, they cannot
make it. save by dishonesty and by be
traying their conalituanu. But attar the
new conatitution i* adopted all induce

new acts will bare upon tba community,
whereas the legislator, being outside of <
the bounds where the spacial act under
consideration ia to be in force, feela totally {
indifferent aa te Its paaaage or rejection.
Besides our judges are men of known
probity and integrity, and cannot be brib
ed They are men of a casta far superior
to that of a majority of our legislators,-
men of Irarning, eaperienca, and ability
wbu have acquired a food reputation, and
are unwilling to part with it, for a paltry
sum of money. It is, than, but reason
able to eipert with th* decree* sanctioned

acts ; and if so, we need have little fear a
