Eight Hour Law.
To our mind there seems to be a
great deal of bungling legislation, not
only by our State Legislatures but also
by Congress, the highest legislative tri
bunal in the land. To cite an instance
or two by way of example we have
only to refer to the eight hour law,
passed by Congress during the admin
istration of Mr. Johnson, approved by
him and put into practical operation.
The law in effect simply - allowed gov
ernment employees ten hours pay for
eight hours work, and was so decided
by Mr. Johnson's Attorney General.
Since Grant went into power, Attor
ney General Hoar reversed the deci
sion of his predecessor, declaring that
the law meant nothing more nor less
than that men who worked but eight
hours should receive pay for but eight
hours labor, &c., &e. This decision
was at once carried into effect, and as
the sequel was shown, it created a tre
mendous furoro amongst Government
employees everywhere. Henry Wil
son, of Massachusetts, the' father of
the law, was appealed to for his deci
sion as to what was intended to be
meant when the bill was passed. Ho
promptly replied that it was intended
by the passage of the bill to pay gov
ernment employees the same amount
for eight hours labor as they formerly
received for ten hours, so that General
Grant has been obliged to issue his
proclamation to that effect, thereby
laying aside the decision of his Attor.
ney General.
We could mention other cases in
point, but we think the one cited above
is sufficient to teach our law-makers to
say just what they moan, then there
will'bo no disputing over the intention
and meaning of the question after it
has become a law. Ono great fault we
have to find is that our laws, as a gen
eral thing, are put in such shape, that
nobody short of a lawyer can inter
pret their intent and meaning, and not
very many of the lawyers.
Let it be Done.
In another column we publish the
resolutions passed at a public meeting
of the friends of domestic industry,
held in Philadelphia, April 29, 1869.
The first resolution contains the gist
of the whole, when it states, "that the
development of our own resources and
the firm possession of our own mark
ets are much more important than for
eign commerce to the welfare of all
the - people of this nation, to the sol
vency of the government, and to the
attraction of the better class of emi
grants; and that by no other method
can a durable resumption of specie
payments be attained than by increas
ing American production and check
ing importation." The second resolu
tion alleges that in order to attain
that end "we must bo able to produce
at home nearly all the manufactured
articles needed by our people," which
is just what America should have done
long ago. Too long have we been de
pendinc, on the manufactured articles
Of other countries, when we produce
the raw material at home, and it is
time that the steps proposed fn the
resolutions before us should be adopt
ed. While we have been developing
our own resources to a great extent in
the extracting of iron, and other ores,
from the bowels of the earth, and by
the production of cotton and other fab
rics, yet a very small proportion of
these resources have been worked up
on by us and made into the necessary
articles. They have, on the other
hand, been exported to foreign lands,
there manufactured, and then brought
back to us.
American industry should bo protec
ted as well as augmented, and the
commendation of the fifth resolution
should meet with the early attention
of Congress. We do not believe that
the carrying out of the intent of the
resolutions will result any more in the
aggrandizement of the employer than
to the employed. Both will derive
equal benefits from a protective poli
cy; for as business is stable and firm
so is labor sure of its reward, but with
out a firm basis neither the employer
or employed can work to advantage.
ttel-One mistako the Administration
at Washington bas made, was in ignor
ing, to too great an extent, the work
ing mon of the party. No party can
succeed without effort, and when the
do-nothings are honored over the
heads of -active and deserving party
men, the party must suffer.
go_lnstead of $1,000,000, Secretary
Boutwell has ordered his Assistant
Secretary to buy $1,000,000 worth of
bonds weekly until further orders.
American Industry.
At a public meeting of the friends
of domestic industry, held, in Phila
delphia, April 29, 18G9, tkol following
resolutions were unanimously adop•
ted :
WHEREAS, The Congressional Coin
mittee of Ways and Means is instruct
ed to consider the propriety of revis
ing the Tariff laws, and to recommend
to Congress at its next session such
legislation upon that subject as may
seem to be expedient: therefore, Re
solved, that the following statement
be presented to the said Committee as
embodying the views of the produc
tive industries of this country :
FIRST, That the development of our
own resources and the firm possession
of our own markets aro much more
important than foreign commerce to
the welfare of all the people of this
nation, to the solvency of the govern
ment, and to the attraction of the bet
ter class of immigrants • and that by no
other method can a durable resump
tion of specie payments be attained
than by increasing American produc
tion and checking importation.
SECONDLY, That to maintain such
possession of our own markets, and
thus to attain financial independence,
we must be able to produce at home
nearly all the manufactured articles
needed by our people, including those
which require the facilities of great .
establishments, of many workmen
trained to special arts, and of largo
capital, and we must also be constant
ly undertaking some new industries
which the advances in the arts and the
progress of civilization require.
TIMIDLY : That it is impossible for
such great establishments to prosper,
for smaller ones to spring up, and for
the now industries to take root under
a fickle and sometimes unfriendly poli
cy which holds thorn constantly in fear
of revulsions.
FOURTHLY, That as a means of pro
moting regular growth in the produc
tive powers of ourcountry, it is the duty
ofthe government to announce, adhere
to, and steadfastly act upon the policy
of defending its citizens in their indus
trial conflict with foreign nations, of
assuring to those who are supporting
the government a marked preference
in our markets over aliens who aro
our rivals in peace and our foes in
war, and of obliging foreigners who
wish to reap the advantage of the bet
tor markets created by our institu
tions, to pay toll upon the goods they
send hero, and thus share the expense
of maintaining those institutions.
FIFTHLY, That a policy of firm and
steady protection to American indus
try being distinctly announced, a gen- -
eral tariff law should be framed em•
bracing the entire range of important
goods and superseding all former tariff
laws, the duties being made specific
so far as convenientlY possible and high
enough to afford fair wages and reason
able profits to such American working
men and employers as apply them
selves with assiduity, skill, and intelli
gence to industries suited . to our con
dition and resources. The schedule
prepared by the Pennsylvania Indus
trial League, which is founded mainly
upon the legislation (unfortunately
not concurrent) of both louses of
Congress, and upon the Report of the
Commissioner of Revenue, and which,
while largely increasing the free list
and converting numerous ad valorem
into specific duties, reduces the rates
upon many articles, and proposes but
moderate increase in any case, is wor
thy of attention as a serious effort by
competent persons to frame a symmet
rical system of duties ou imports.
SIXTHLY, That in order to diminish
the labor of Congress, and to expedite
those future modifications in tariff
legislation which the development of
new industries or the changes of trade
may from time to time render desira
ble, some department, bureau, or com
mission, should be created, specifically
charged with the duty of keeping
watch over this subject, with authori
ty- to examine witnesses, make inves
tigations, hear statements, and sub
mit to Congress at the opening of
each session a brief report, accompa
nied, when necessary, by a draft of a
bill embodying such legislation as may
seem expedient.
SEVENTHLY, Experience having
clearly shown that the maintenance
of domestic production is the only sure
method for reducing the prices of man
ufactured goods, it is grossly unjust
to the employers of operatives who
ask for the legislation needful for keep
ing their hands employed, to charge
them with endeavoring to aggrandize
themselves at the expense of the pub
lic. They do not desire or expect] for
themselves or their employees to es
cape from the toil and strife which
aro the common lot of man, but they
protest against being obliged to follow
the employers of other countries in
experimenting on the degree of degra
dation and misery which can be endur
ed by a laboring population, and they
claim that our national legislation
should bo such as to enable our pro
ducing classes to enjoy civilizing in
fluences, and to permit employers to
acquire solidity enough to give steadi
ness to manufacturing pursuits.
RESOLVED, That a committee consis
ting of Messrs. Joseph Wharton, Hen
ry C. Lea, William Sellers, and Mor
ton McMichael, be appointed to pre
sent the foregoing statement to the
Committee of Ways and Means, with
power• to confer with that Committee,
and to take such action in the premises
as may conduce to the common wel
fare.
MORTON MCMICHAEL, Chain/lan
CYRUS ELDER, Secretary.
um.We entirely agree with the N.
Y. Times, when it says that "we don't
believe—and we make the statement
for the benefit of - several Democratic
papers—that Grant has any ambition
to "measure swords" with the great
military leaders of Europe. Grant
has never displayed any craving for
military glory, or anfdesire; 'to get up
wars for its gratification. In the great
war of which he was the victor, ho
fought with all his might for the suc
cess and triumph of the Union fiag.—:
But for the glitter of war, the pomp
of the battle field, and the display of
power, he never showed the least lik
ing or the least desire. He was a sol
dier by necessity, but is a man of
peace by nature. We have every refl.;
son to;believe that his desire is to dis
tinguish his administration by far
higher glories than can be won:on the
bloody field of battle."
Huntingdon County Ejectment "Case.
[From the Pittsburg Commercial.]
Tho- important ejectment case of
Wn - i.: Colon; a citizen of Illinois, vs.
John R. llunter,:-a citizen of Hunting
don countyy was.terminated on Wed
nesday the 191.11,..in5t: This case,
which occupied the attention of the
U. S. Court for a number of days, was
a very important ono, as it involved
the titlo to 3,500 acres of land in Hun
tingdon county.
Hon. 3. A. Purvianco addressed the
jury for the plaintiff on Tuesday, and
was followed by Wm. Dorris, of Hun
tingdon, for the defense. Hon. John
Scott closed the case for the defense
and was followed by B. Bruce Petri
kin, of Huntingdon; who closed the
case for the plaintiff. The arguments
were all able ones, and a largo num
ber of of the members of the bar of
our county were present and heard
them.
CHARGE 01' JUDGE M'CANDLESS
This is:an:action of ejectment for the
Juniata Forges and Rolling Mill, to.
gethor with twenty-eight tracts of
land containing about eight thousand
five hundred acres, situated in Hunt
ingdon county and proven at the trial
to be worth from $85,000 to $lOO,OOO.
Both parties claim the title under Dr.
Peter Shoenberger, who on the 31st of
October 1839, conveyed the same to
his two sons, George K., and John 11.,
subject to a certain sum charged upon
the land for the benefit of two of his
daughters and their heirs. On the 13th
of March, 1849, his grantees sold the
property to Edwin F. Shoenberger
in fee, subject in part to this encum
brance, for the sum of $4.6,000.
Shoenberger, on the 14th of
May following, convoyed the forges
and land to Andrew P. Wilson, who,
on the oth ofJanuary, 1868, executed
a deed for the same to Wm. Colon, the
plaintiff in the case, for the nominal
consideration of one dollar.
Thus far this shows a legal title in
the plaintiff.
But the defendants exhibit certain
instruments of writing and judicial
proceedings, which change the whole
character of the title, and recalling
them to the recollection of the jury,
you aro invited to bear in mind the
several dates. The deed from E. F.
Shoenherger to General Wilson, though
upon its face, seeming to convey an
absolute title, was accompanied by a
defeasanco of tho samo date, which
converted it into a mortgage, or a
mere security for the payment of
money. It was doubtless designed to
be fair, but is singular and extraordin•
ary in its terms, and has been the
source of nearly twenty years' litiga
tion. B. F. Shoenberger, anxious to
negotiate the loan, sells the lands in
dispute to Wilson for the alleged sum
of $50,000, and taking Wilson's bonds,
six in number, for $5,000 each amoun
ting to $30,000, payable out ofSuniata
Forgo property and nothing else, and
for which Wilson incurred no porson•
al liability whatever. By the terms
of the defeasanee, if Shoenborger
negotiated the bonds, or deposited
them collaterally, ho was to lift them
at maturity, was not to suffer suit to
be brought at any time against Wil
son for the same, and if he did, to •for
feit and pay the sum of five hundred
dollars for each bond upon which suit
might be instituted, and was subject
to a general penalty of $60,000 for the
performance of the several covenants.
Upon the lifting and delivery of Wil
son's bonds by Shoenterger, then
Wilson was to reconvey whatever title
he had to Shoonberger. Strange as it
may seem, upon a deposit of those
bonds, with the Lancaster Bank, a
loan of $30,000 was negotiated.
What then, was the character of
these two instrument of even dates—
the deed and the agreement or &leas
ance ? They did not constitute a sale,
so as to vest the title to the lands in
controversy in Gen. Wilson. They
were simply a mortgage, and subject
to all the requirements of the record
ing acts.
Before proceeding further upon this
subject let us advert to tho title of
defendants. On the Ist of February,
1850, G. K. Shoenberger obtained a
judgment in Court of Common Pleas
of Huntingdon county against Edwin
F. Shoenberger for the sum of $2,092-
50 upon a note dated the 2d of April,
1849, prior in date to the conveyance
to Wilson, and upon which there was
a judicial sale and a sheriff's deed
made to Dr. Peter Shoenberger for all
the laud in dispute, except two tracts,
which were subsequently purchased
by him under a judgment dated the
2d of February, 1850. The deed or
more properly speaking, the mortgage
to Wilson, was not recorded until the
12th of February, 1850, more than six
months after its ate and ten days af
ter the date of the judgments under
which the defendants derive their title,
as to them it was an unrecorded mort
gage, and the judicial sale divested its
lien. It ceased be an incumbrance
upon the property. These defendants
having acquired the title of Dr. Shoen
bei•ger obtained at Sheriff's sale, were
purchasers under a lien paramount to
the mortgage, and have a title superior
to any which could be claimed by
Gen. Wilson, or any person claiming
under him, Wilson having no title
could convey none to Colon, the plain
tiff in this suit, and it matters little
whether his deed of the 6th of Janu
ary, 1868, was designed to give juris
diction to the Courts of the United
States, or not, for he had no title to
convoy.
And we charge you as a matter of
law, that the deed of Gen. Wilson to
the plaintiff, taken in connection with
the instrument of writing of the same
date, executed and delivered by Colon
to Wilson, show whatever title Wilson
had, remained in him, that no title
passed to Colon, and your verdict
should be for the defendants. As to
the question of notice, the opinion of
the Court will be found in answer to
the points submitted by the counsel
for the plaintiffs.
POINTS ANSWERED
The following points wore submit
ted to the Court for the plaintiffs:
1. That the plaintiffs having given
in evidence a legal title,-the jury,'• un
der thci pleadings of -the case, cannot
inquire into the nature or character of
the deed froth Wilson to Colon of the
sixth of January, 1868, and whether
said deed convey tO Colon an absolute
title or a defeasablo or trust estate can
make no difference as:either of said
ties would be sufficient to entitle the
plaintiffs to a recovery: (Answer.)—
We instruct you that in law the deed
and papers of same dato conveyed no
title to the plaintiffs.
11. That the title of defendants, de
rived as it is from Dr. Shoenberger,
who was the purchaser at Sheriff's
sale, on a judgment against Edwin
Shoenberger, cannot avail them - (the
defendants) if the jury believe Dr.
Shoenberger and John and • George
Shoonbor,ger had notice of the exist
ence of the deed from A. P. Wilson of
the 14th of Illfty, 1849, and the tieconi
panying defeasance and bends (consti
tuting as decided by the Supremo
Court of Pennsylvania a mortgage)
before their judgments were entered
of record. (Answer) We instruct
you that neither Dr. Shoenberger or
the defendants had such notice as
would bind them in law, and wo refuse
to charge you as requested on this
point.
111. That if the jury rely upon the
testimony of General A. P Wilson and
Edwin P. Shoenberger, that Dr. Peter
Shoonberger, John and George Shpen
berger had notice of the existence of a
deed from Edwin Shoenberger to A.
P. Wilson, of the 14th of May, 1849,
and the dcfeasance and bonds, and
that the notice was communicated to
them before the entry of their judg
ment upon which the sale was made
to Dr. Peter Shoenberger by the Sher
iff of Huntingdon county, the title of
the said Peter Shoenberger thus ac
quired was taken subject to the deed
of the 14th of May, 1849, and accom
panying agreement and bonds, and the
notice if given as aforesaid, would be
equivalent in law to the actual record
ing of said deed, and the plaintiff would
be entitled to a verdict. [Answer.]—
We refuse to so instruct you.
The following points wore submitted
by counsel for the defense:
I. That the deed of May 14th, 1849,
of Edwin F. Shoenberger to A. P. Wil
son, taken in connection with the
agreement of the same date, and the
bonds therein recited, do not consti
tute a sale, so as to vest the title, in
the lands in controversy, in A. P. Wil
son, but a mortgage only. [Answer.]
This point is affirmed.
11. That neither the deed nor the
defeasanee having been recorded until
alter the entry of the judgments of
George K. and Peter Shoenberger
against Edwin F. Shoenberger, the li
en of those judgments had priority
over the lien of the mortgage, and the
sheriff's sale made upon those judg
ments to Dr. Peter Shoenberger, vest
ed in hint a title to the land in dispute,
divested of said mortgage and superior
to any title which could be claimed
under that mortgage by A. P. Wilson
or any person claiming under him.—
[Answer.] , We so charge you.
111. That A. P. Wilson being the
holder of an unrecorded mortgage,
which nover became a lien .upon the
premises, had no right to retain them,
as against the purchaser at sheriff's
sale, as decided by the Supremo Court
of Pennsylvania in 10 Casey, page 124,
and consequently his vendee can not,
now rocovr possession of the premises
against those claiming under the sher
iff's vendue. [Answer.] You are so
instructed.
IV. That 'the sheriff's sale to Dr.
Peter Shoenberger discharged Lew
mortgage executed by Edwin F. Sho
cnborger to' A: P. Wilson, and left no
interest in the laud vested in Wilson;
and his deed subsequently executed to
the plaintiffs in this action, passed the
tide to him, and the verdict of the jury
must be for the defendants. [Answer.]
We Eo charge you.
Y. That the deed of A. P. Wilson to
William Colon, dated January 6, 1868,
taken in connection with the instru
ment of writing of the same date, ex
ecuted and delivered to said Wilson by
Colon show, as matter of law, that
whatever title A. P. Wilson had re
mained in him; that no title passed to
Wm. Colon, the plaintiff, and your ver
dict must be for defendants. (Answer.)
You are so instructed.
TUE VERDICT
The jury retired, and after an ab
sence of about an hour found a verdict
for defendants.
