The Philadelphia Election
The election held in Philadelphia,
on 17inst, as usual went in favor ot
the ring, but with a greatly reduced
majority. Forney's Press republican,
has the following caption over its
return, which show that fraud and ri
posting, though beaten down some
what, are still carried on. *1 he Press
exclaims, in bold letters :
Tho people again defied. A Victory
for the official Republican# Gained

It theu adds ; The polling of votes
for the selection of a Mayor, vea
terdav was marked bv such evidences
of fraud and debauchery thai it can
scarcely be called an election IV
termined to the bitter end, aud fight
ing with the desperation known only
to men driven to the wall, as wtw be
secu bv the facts given below tbat
violence ruled, and thai manipuU
ting, false personations, and all the
macbiotry kuowu to politicians who
are fighting for the retention of power,
took place. In most of the wards the
policemen heeded not the injunction
to keep a prescribed distance truin
the polls, but knowing that their liv
ing depended upon the success of their
master, worked as hard tor the Rings
ters as did the men who received
cash iu haud for the services rendered.
Repeatats plied their nefarious busi
ness with au audacity seldom equalled,
and many cases wore cited where
mora votes were polled, through their
ia.ir.n><Uiy in divisions, then
there were residents.
ID the legislative proceedings, in
another column of the Reporter,
will be found the latest stink at Har
risburg. Some persons attempted to
black mail the bauks under pretense
of using the lucre to help the passage
of the usury bill. Some of the banks
in the state responded, and s_>nt on
funds with which to bribe members.
The house at once had a committee
of investigation appointed, of which
our representative, Mr. Orvis, is a
member, and the committee has al
ready obtained aorne important evi
dence. Two geutlemeu engaged in
this business, have since been arrest
ed —one, Mr. Dimmick, is the repre
sentative from Wayne, the other is J.
Monroe Kreiter, a Harrisburgcr, and
formerly cashier of the Dauphin
Deposit Bank ; other members are
thought to be implicated in this
scheme to '"raise the wind.
Legislative Reunion.
The legislative re-union to take
place at the capitol on Thursday,
February 26, promises to be an event
of more than common interest. More
than 200 persons who were connected
with the legislature {or the govern
ment before 1850 are known to be
living. Many of them have ex press
ed an intention to be present. The
committee having the details of this
assemblage in charge, have completed
a roil of names.
From it we gather that the seniors
of this roll commenced their legislative
, ■ i to ioio, oerore most w Ut*
present generation were born, of these
there are two-the memorable Walter
Craig of Washington, whose age is
95, and Daniel Sturgeon of Fayette,
who is in his 86th year. The next
on this roll of memorable gentlemen
are the six who served between 1820
and 1830. The names that follow,
between 1830 aud 1840 are more
numerous but the great buik of the
survivors served between 1840 and
1849. More than a dosen of these
who adorn this list are between eighty
and ninety years of age, usuallv in
fine health and full possession of their
faculties. The number between sev
enty and eighty years of age is un
usually numerous their responses to
the invitation uncommonly cheerful
and interesting. The official habits
of a past generation, did not impair
the intellect or destroy the native
hardiness of that race of Penusy'.va
nians.
The above is from the Ilarrisburg
Patriot which contains the list, in it
we find the name of Hon, Jas. M'-
Manus, of Bellefonte, a member of
the House in 1842, and the leader on
the Democtatic side.
At the elections on 17 iost- Dem
ocratic Mayors were elected at Reading,
Syracuse, Altoona, AI leu town, Wilkes
barre and other Points.
The importance of one vote was
again shown at the election on Tuesday,
17, when D. C. Keller, of CeDtre
Hall was elected Justice by 1 ma
jority—the vote stood, Keller 101,
Shannon 100.
An independent grauge has been
organized in New York, with about
the same principles, as the original
grangers, only that they are more
liberal in admitting members.
The Ohio state grange has endorsed
the women's temperance movement.
Shannon 100.
Ex Senator Wigfall of Texas is
dead.
The Maine senate voted iu favor
of abolishing the death peualty.
A decision important to railroad pas
sengers has been rendered by the Circuit
Court of Chenango county, N. Y. A roan
named Peck bought a ticket on the New
York Central from Utica to Albany, and

that the ame Government which can take

public good demand* that you carry

will dicide what those rate* hall be. A*
well a* any one 1 fully appreciate the diffi
culties which lie in the way of a tariff filed
by law. I can easily see where it may
sometimes work hardship and even actual
' wrong; but it is amazing— it *eetnt to me
preposterous —that diintere*'ed men are
not as competent a* thoee interested to fix
I ratee which *hall be jut to the railroad*
| and the peopla."
Some of our contemporaries have
| understood this as a very emphatic
! assertion of the right of Congress to
regulate the rates of freight on all the
railroads of the country which pass
State lines, aud some expressions are
used that lend color to this interprets
lion. But if we examine the argu
ment of Mr. Adams we shall find that
it does not really admit of such an
application. His whole argument
rests for its foundation upon what is
called iu law books the right of emi
! nent domain; that is, the right of a
| government to take, without the con
sent of the owners lands which may
be needed for public uses. As the
State autkorijses railroads to cancel
the rights of private ownership in the
lands they need for their tracks, the
Grand Master of the Patrons of Hus
bandry argues (and argues justly)
lhat the power which is competent to
seixe this property against the will of
the owners, is also competent to regu
late its use and protect the communi
ty against extortion by its new occu
pants. We concede that this argu
ment is not merely cogent, but con
clusive. It only remains to inquire
into the extern of its application.
It is evident ou tho face of the
argument, that it is only the same
authority which exercises the power
of eminent domain that can regulate
the uae that is made of the converted
property. Now before going into the
question of lew, let us consider the
question of fact. It is a fact admit
ting of no question that every mile of
railroad which has ever been built
within State limits has acquired its
right to take private lands for its
track from a State Legislature. There
are two or three railroads to be sure,
which have been authorized by Con
gress; but these, without exception,
have been constructed in the Territo
ries, where Congress has exclusive
jurisdiction. Congress has never
exerciaed, and has never yat claimed
to possess, the right of eminent domain
except in the Territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia. This distinction
between the exercise of the right of
eminent domain in the States and
the Territories is of fundamental con-
sequence in its bearing on this ques
tion, as we will presently show. But
before discussing it as a distinction
deeply imbeded in the Constitution,
we ask the Patrons of Husbandry to
recognize the indisputable fact that
portions of thair farms havs never been
taken for railroad purposes in any
State except by the sole authority of
the State Legislatures. Now, Mr.
Adam's forcible and admirable argu-
ment establishes the right of regula
tion only in tho same governments
which authorized the takiog of pri
vate property, aud as a consequence
of this paramount control over pri
vate ownership. Tt therefore only
firuves the right of the State to regu
ale the State railroads, and restricts
the regulating power of Congress to
the roads it has authorized to be built
in the Territories.
We now proceed to prove that this
' distinction which has always and
, uniformly existed as a fact, is impera
tively required by the Constitution
aud can never be abolished without
an amendment of that instrument. In
other words, Congress has no constitu
tional power to authorise the con
struction of a railroad within the limits
of the States. That no such power
is directly granted is obvious, because
every section of the Constitution may
be searched and explored in vain for
the mention of anything even resemb
ling it. But (he Constitution does
declare, most explicity, that all powers
not therein granted are reserved to
the States. The right of eminent do
main has always been posseased, and
always been exercised without ques
tion by the States; not a turnpike or
any ordinary road has ever been open
ed but in virtue of it. Since it has
always beau possessed, and never
directly surrendered, it must bp re
tained exclusively by the States, un
less it can be proved necessary for the
execution of some of the granted
powers ; which is the only point left
to be examined.
Jt js evident on the merest inspec
tion of the Constitution, that there is
no other attribute of State sovereignty
i which is so carefully protected and
guarded against aii possibility of
latitudinary interpretations as com
plete sovereignty oyer thesoil, includ
ing its highest exercise, the fight of j
eminent domain. I'or example, tlx*,
exclusive grant ol llu l war pxw* r ami .1
th* power to bnIM ami equip ft nnvv 1 '
would seem to carry with them, n*
necessary implication, the tight i*>
take land for fort* and dockyards i
, But so scrupulous was the res|eot ot
the fraiuu* uf the (.-uMstilulioii lor the
right ot •mintitfdomain iu the State*,
that they did not pciuiit the gieftt
BOWei* uc*aai y for th ■ pubtie * at* u* *
to infiingc upou it in the slightest de
I gree. We quote from the Const it u
lion ;
"Congress ►hall have power to exer
cise exclusivejuriailietion HI all cases
whatsoever, over such district (not
exceeding ten miles square >, as may.
by e*e-iou of particular States ami the

overall places, purchased with the
consent of the Legislature of the State
iu which thesatuc shall b*. tor thu,
erection of forts, inagaxinea, arsenals,
dock yard*. ami other needtul build
iugs."
The argumeut founded on this pro 1
vision is 100 irresistibly conclusive
ueed any enforcement. It the great
powers ot which forts, arsena.s, ami
navy-yards are necessary incidents,
are s*> carefully guarde*! ami restrain
ed that Congress cannot take land by;
the right of eoitmnt domain even foi
those purposes, hut can acquire it only
by the consent of the State hgi<da

Hovsc or REPRESENTATIVE.
Ilairisburg, FeUruary 19, 1874.
Mr. M'Crary rose ton quesiiou of;
privilege arid asked that the following|
circular be read.
Harrisburg, February —, 18.4 —.
Dear Sir: Kudosed please find copy
of bill uow before the legislature to
tlx the rate of iuterest. Ihe |>ctitious
I which have beeu seut us indicate a
I decided seutimeot among busine.-*-
circles iu its favor, atid have had
j weight with members of the legisla
ture. !
On the other hand, considerable
opposition has beeu develojwd. In
less this is promptly cheeked there is
j reason to apprehend that it will gain
I such strength in the legislature as to
endanger arid perhaps defeat the
bill.
Besides the general considerations
iu favor of this measure there is a
special reason why it should be pushed
through at the present time by the
employment of every means in our
power. In future the legislature will
' consist of 230 members, arid the pro
s'isious of the uew constitution respee
' i ting legislation will greatly increase
ij the difficulty of passing the bill now in
> hand,if they do not make it wholly
' I impossible. A single statement win
II sufficiently illustrate this. At present
' fiftv-one members of the house and
seventeou of the senate form a maj>
rity. The new constitution will re
; quire the concurrence of a majority of
all the members, or 101 in the house
and twenty six in the senate. There
1 are also other checks aud hindrances
- to legislation in the uew constitution
1 which will add still more to thediffi
culty of passing a bill iu the face ot
1 anv decided opposition.
(j The importance, therefore, of pass-
I ing our bill at the present session is
■ evident. Whi.'e success is assured if
: suitable measures are employed, it
certainly is not sate to put the bill on
its passage without first doing every
1 j thing in our power to silence opposi
r lion. Te secure a favorable report
! from the committee, its friends w ill be
1 required to demonstrate its advantages
|as clearly as possible. This will
necessitate the marshalling of all the
evidence attainable in its favor, and
also the employment of experienced
counsel to prepare the necessary evi
dence, to argue the case before the
committee, and to dispose effectually
of every objectiou.
To obtain an adequate fund to be
used in obtaining evidence and em
ploying counsel, it is proposed that
each bank and banking house in the
state contribute in proportion to its
iuterest in the matter, to be estimated
on the basis of its capital stock. The
amcuDt due from you, under this
arrangement, is fifty dollars. . A pro
rata return to the contributors will be
made of the funds if all is not requir
ed to accomplish the purpose, it is
particularly requested by the com
mittee having the matter in charge,
that the contributions be made with
out delay.
Please send check to the undersign
ed for the amount, payable to the
order of E. L. Saunders, treasurer.
Very respectfully yours.
K. H. GIBBONS. Secretary.

From the Patriot.
The excitement consequent upon
the revelation of a plot to bleed the
bankers of Pennsylvania Ims rather
increased thnn diminished in this city,
facts having come to the knowledge of
the legislative investigating committee
yesterday afternoon which leave 110
doubt that the letters addressed to R.
11. Gibbons were lifted by a member
of jhp legislature and that the man
who sent the ctrc|ii*rji to the different
hanks in the state is n well known j 1
citizen of Harrisburg. About three''
weeks ago the latter called on the sev- '
era! bankers with a memorial urging {
on the legislature the iuipoitunce ot 1
passing the act before the house re- '
pealing the uaurj' laws of tlje stgt*
Approving the objects set forth ju jhcJ
memorial seven representatives of as.
many buuks appended their names to ?
the paper. Soon after a circular wasj
addressed to the oanks of this state 1
urging lliw importance nfilti* ineustirrj
niiii levying nn u*st*ineiit <•( one
quarter of one |r cent, on the capl
ml stock of each l"r the ostensible

repealing net. The circular was uc ;

ally modified, the banker! say) signed
hy ilo president*. cashiers, etc ,of ih<- >
Harrisburg banks, in which thoae ml
dressed Weld Urged In extend prompt ;
support ami encouragement to the i n
ter|>riac. The circular was signed hv
I' L. Saunders, Ueasuicr, ami 11 if
Gibbous, arcreiary, both of which
tmineanrcticliti. ua. In u short tune
letters containing checks ami drafts
addressed to liibh.tna ami Saunders
began to pour into the Harrisburg
|>o*t office, in a nuin hei of instances
the money was sent to hauliers in this
city with requests to pay the money
to the parlies if ull was right. Ihe
hankcts being unahie to tiuu men hv
, those nanu s au iuv ■•ligation wa* in
stituted for the discovery of the per
oii who ha.l received the letters ad
dressed to Ciibbona. A clerk of one
lof the hotels was interviewed, from
whom it was learned that the letters
had been lifted hy a member of the
legislature A number o! the hank
ers who had received the Gibbous
Saunders circular* returned tlieiu to
hanks of Harrisburg with the envel
opes in which they hud been encloses!.
A comparison of the hand writing
with that of a resident of this city
showed a striking similarity, ami oth
er facta were developed indicating lie
voud a doubt that he had charge ot
jihe Correiqanulctice with the various
hanking institutions of the slate.
lu response to these circular* a con
siderable number of letters soon reach
led the post officii of thi* city, accumu
lating there for a week or ton days be
fore they were called for. On Sunday
the jMMtiuaur received a note to de
(KMiit all letters addressed to K. 11.
(Gibbous in Holtoli'a hotel box and a
verbal request to make a similar dis
! position of letters addressed to K. L.
| Saunders. The postniaatar having
i obtained information a short time sub
sequently that led him to believe that
| tlie names were fictitious he determin
led to retain all such letters in accor
dance with the regulations of tiie post
• .dice department. The postal au
thorities were apprised of the situa
tion, and are now assisting in the in
vestigation ol the bold nud gigantic
fraud.
The committee appointed by the
house ( Mirsrs. Young. Orvis and M'-
Creary) to investigate the swindle met
at the Kirkwood house yesterday
afternoon and evening and examined
J. C. Bomberger, of the Mechanics'
jbauk, J. A. Bigler, City bank, J. 11.
. Weir, Harrisburg bank, (leorge Berg
I ner, postmaster, llarrv I'hler, chiel
clerk, Charles Kemp, clerk at Bol
ton's hotel, Wallace Fahncstock,
, Harrisburg Lank, and a few others.
.Although the sessions were private
it is said that one of the witnesses
testified to having seen a member of
the legislature lifting the Gibbons
I letters.
If the plot of the speculators had
been carried to a successful cuiihiim
r mation tbev would probably have
, both made a handsome fortune- aay
, $60,000 among themselves.
( Humors were prevalent on the
( street and in the hotels last night that
other members of the legislature were
1 implicated in the fraud, hut they were
not well authenticated.
A detective of the post office de
, partment at Washington is lure to
f ferret out the guilty partiea.
The legislative committee expect to
be able to make a report of their
operations to the house on Monday.

nil the publicity that can |K>ssibly be
obtained.
