Ifeeting of the Count 7 Committee
A meeting of the Republican County
Committee will be held in the " Orphans'
Court Room," in the city of Lancaster,on
Monday, April 4th. at 11+ o'clock A. M.
for such important business as may be
brought before the Committee.
IV.E quote a notable passage from a
lecture delivered on the 4th instant at
Washington, Pa., by W. D. Moore, Esq.
mn a democrat, and opposed to the
Fifteenth Amendment, but I desire to
bear my testimony to the character of the
negro population of the South. After the
passage of the conscript act they outnum
bered the whites five to one. They could
have arisen at any time and utterly anni
hilated the :white population, and there
- were not wanting evil men to make the
suggeition. They remained, however, the
same in obedience, docility, faithfulness,
and order, as before the war broke out.
There is nothing like it in all the pages of
history, and I never knew or heard of a
race who seemed, in my judgment, to live
so near to the Divine teachings as the ne-
Oes of the South during the rebellion.
Their conduct was epitomized in a single.
remark made - to inc 11Y - a -- Very aged one
among them. 'We'se like-the children of
'lsrael at the Red Sea; all we has to do is
to stand still and see the Salvation of the
Lord!' At all the times and under all the
circumstances I will bear testimony to
the unequalled behavior of the Southern
neoes during the war."
OUR Legislature continues to attest its
uncompromising devotion to retrench
ment and reform! The • House has just
created a new $3,000 office, with traveling
expenses. The incubent is to be styled a
"Commissioner of Pensions," and his

Mr. Nicholson, who has been generally
expected to take an active part ere long in
certain legal proceedings against a former
delinquent officer, will perhaps also be so
grateful that he will think better of his
desperate intent; and Mr. Ames, himself
a supporter of Mr. Irwin, who introduced
this little sugar-plum, no doubt, expects
to be grateful also for the probable sup
pression of a further unpleasantness. All
this is very cheap at only $3,000 more, per
year, out of the Treasury. By all means,
don't stop it!—Ex,
ME Philadelphia Democrats are split
up on the negro question, and are about
to disband the organization known as the
`Democrtic Association of Pennsylvania,'
in consequence. At the last meeting res
olutionS were offered to this effect, and
some spicy speeches were made on the oc
casion, one of them by a Mr. Karnes, an
"old fogy," in which he referred to the
new doctrines which were inaugurated by
the new Saturday night speeches. He
was in favor of disbanding the association
at once; he did not want to see it go into
the power and hands of those who preach
ed the new doctrines. He for one was in
faver of a "white man's government,"
and as of late the association did not fa
vor this view, it had better be ,dissolved.
After:a big `row , between the 'old' and
'am lights' the meeting adjourned to
meet' again on March 20, at 74- o'clock,
when the question of continunig or dis
solving:the association will be settled.

.Editor
Senator Billingfelt
Prom the speech of Mr. Billingfelt on
the great Railway raid on the State sink
ing fund we make the following extracts:
"I might not have attempted to speak
upon this subject to-day, on account of
the condition of my health, had it not
boon for the.fact that in colleague and
myself have been cliallengedrepeatedly,by
the Senator from Potter last night, and
the Senator from Greene to-day, through
allusions made to the fact that the main
line runs through the county of Lancas
ter, which we have the honor to represent,
and hence our county being largely bene
fited thereby, intimating as though we
ought to favor the passage of this bill. It
is true, the main line runs through our
county, and could they in building it have
found any other practicable route to reach
Philadelphia, it is doubtful whether we
would have had the benefit or it. As it
is, we have the road; the trains are run
ning through there, and barely stop long
enough in the city of Lancaster to enable
passengers to take a decent dinner. And
what has the comity of Lancaster to pay
for this privilege?
Look at the enormous debt heaped upon
the Commonwealth, created almost solely
by the construction, of the public works,
and. see what proportion of them falls
upon Lancaster county, and compare it
with the benefits we derive therefrom—a
debt which will cling to us for generations
yet to come, unless we adopt a different
policy of naanaging the finances of the
Commonwealth faom what we have here
tofore done, and especially from what is
proposed to he done by the provisions of
this bill. And does not Lancaster county
pay wore taxes into the Treasury of the
Commonwealth than all the counties rep
resented be the Senators hauled who fa
vor this bill, with the county of Schuyl
kill added to them?
Mr. Olmstead: Give us a Railroad and
we will pay as much as you pay.
Mr. Billingfell: I am as much in favor
of developing the resources of the Com
monwealth as any other Senator, and 1
am willing to give you all the corporate
privileges you may ask for, but no money,
for we have none to spare to build Rail
roads with. We need it all, and more
too, to pay our debts as rapidly as theybE
come due_
fir. Randall: The county of Schuylkill
pays more into the State Trmsnry than
Lancaster. and the ..ludit4 - )r General's Rz-
port shows it.
Mr. Billingielt: Well. then_ let us re
fer to the Annual Report of the Audi
tor General. I find that the county of
Schuylkill pays I=ll.ooo tax on personal
property, whilst the county of Lancaster
pays over S34„000.
Mr. Randal: In reply to the remarks of
the Senator from Lancastef (Mr. Billing
felt) I would say that the county of I
Schuylkill pays three times as much tax
as the county of Lancaster. although
Schuylkill county may not show it in her
rettu - n to the Auditor General. The pro
ducts of her mines pay three times as
much as the county of Lancaster.
Mr. Billingfelt: I generally take a man
at his own offer on a question of this kind
and have already proved my assertion by
the report of the Auditor General. Now
he falls back and asserts that they swell
their revenues by paying a tax upon the
products of their mines. This is undoubt
edly true; but since the passage of the act
of ISG 7 t, taxing the products`of the mines,
s kSic., for ei;er,37 dollat they pay into the
Treasiwy the consumer is charged 'an 'ex
tra price on coal to tliamount of a dollar
and a half if not two dollars. And here
-again the county of Lancaster comes in
for a larger portion than the county of
because the consumer in reali
ty pays the tax. And, sir, those are not
the only burdens Lancaster, as iGreil as
other eastern counties, has to bear more
than her appropriate share. Look at the
immense appropriation bill passed every
year. The amount appropriated last year
exceeded the revenues for that purpose
$918,000, and that much had to be taken
out of the sinking fund in violation of
law. And for what purpose? Why, the
Principal item is the appropriation to
Common Schools. Several years ago it
only amounted to 200,000, next to $350,-
000; last year to 5500,000, and this year
the House raised it to $750,000. Now the
secret of this large appropriation is little
known to the public. the real object of
which is to benefit those counties repre
sented by the Senator favoring this bill at
the expense of such counties as Lancaster,
Chester, Montgomery, Berks and others.
And yet it seems we are to have no inter
est in the disposition of these bonds, and
that we should remain content and let
this bill pass because the Pennsylvania
Railroad runs through Lancaster county.
I am not an enemy to that mammoth
corporation. I believe that road to be a
great part of the life of the Commonwealth
its managers are among the most accom-
inodating and shrewdest business men in
the State, and. they ought to have all the
rights belonging to them; but I cannot
agree and be made a party to this proposed
measure. whereby securities which are
certain are to be given up, and others
taken in lieu thereof which arc uncertain
mid most assuredly less valuable to the
Commonwealth.
here is no guarantee in this bill at all
going further than securing the payment
of the interest on those bonds until these
new roads are built.
After the guarantors will be relieved,
and by the time any part of the principal
-becomes due those bonds may be_shifted
on some other proposed neWroads likethe
Sunbury and Erie bonds last year, and if
not, we will have no security left for the
six million bonds save the Jersey Shore,
Pine Creek and Buffalo Railway Compa
ny, and nothing left for the payment of
the three and a half million bonds save
the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
Railway Company, with the Wanesburg
branch in Green county, for $1,600,000;
the Clearfield and Buffalo Railway Com
pany for 81,400.000, and the Erie and Al
leghany Railway Company for half mil
lion dollars. Here are 59,500,000 to be
taken out of the State Treasury to be de
vided amongst half a dozen unconstructed
or proposed railroads, with no assurance
that a single dollar of the principal amount
will ever find its way back into the Treas
ury. We ought to hesitate and ponder
well before we take this important step,
to which nine-tenths of the people would
disagree, were the question submitted
fairly to them.
The passage of this willbe far more un
popular with the masses, as it is more
dangerous, than the repeal of the Tonnage
tax in 1801. Had the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company then paid imto the Treas
ury tha $BOO,OOO then due the Common
wealth, perhaps very little would have
been said. But here it is proposed to vote
tin ay millions of money arising from the
contracting of our immense debt, and not
applying it to repay such debt, but for
other purposee . - thin thOSe named in the
Constitution.
'We are still in possession of these bonds;
they are doubly secured, first, by an Act
of Assembly, followed by obligations of
which the pin - Chasers of the main line can
ner, get rid until every dollar is paid. .1
even doubt whether the transfer of these
bonds, although to be authorized by an
Act of Assembly, will relieve the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company from the orig
inal contract entered into in ISOI. But
why hazard the experiment, and compel
our honest tax-payers to make up a defi
ciency in the revenues that Will be caused
by giving away,those securities before the
Public may even be allowed to know what
we propose to do? You are assuming a
fearful risk, and still more fearful will be
the responsibility. I would not vote for
this bill though the whole of the proceeds
of these bonds should go to Lancaster
county."
The "Herald" Nowhere
This exquisite piece of devilism, dub
bed the XV Amendment, is a creature of
fraud--a child of dirt, oppression and des
potism, so bestial, impious, irrational and
offensively vile, that it demands resist
mice at the hands of every true patriot.
If any portion of the Democratic press,
anticipates a triumph of the Democratic
party, by obsequious submission to this
bestial fraud, they must be ignorant and
besotted asses. The doctrine of expedien
cy will fail them here, as any other course
than squarely contesting the fallacies of
the nigger mongering faction, is absurd
and destructive to the best interests of
the people.
The Democratic journal that succumbs
to this hideous devilism, is either a traitor
to the democracy or a political strumpet,
who, in its lecherous wantonness, has
thrown itself into the embraces of tambo,
for a price. It is no time now for the
the Democratic press to stand trembling
and hesitating upon the brink of this
and revolting chasm of miscegenation.
Never was the cause of liberty in such
deadly peril as at this time, and if we al
low this diabolical fraud to be enforced
upon us. through timidity or 11011-re:dSt
ance, we deserve richly the combined
curses of all future generations.
We say to our readers, never, never
compromise with this Vestal, vile_ andun
hallowed monster. Stand up to the issue
—fight it to the litter end—fight it till
b—II freezes over, and then fight it on the
ice. Ignore every candidate that is not
in favor of resisting it. Malt' it the

lying cry for victory and the restoration of
our rights under the Constitution.—nut

The democratic organ in Lancaster
county is preparing for the presto! change
which must be accepted as a part of his
tory. The democracy of Lancaster city
have decided upon nominating a purely
Anglo-African ticket, one which can not
fail to unite the disturbing elements of
this most harmonious party. Thaddeus
henry, a distant relative of a distinguish
ed local politician, is to be nominated for
the office of Inspector. As Thaddeus is
an expert whistler and banjoist, be can

ster, is to be the democratic candidate for
Constable in Brubaker's Ward, and with
the Intclligen err to bolster up his claims,
will become a formidable rival for prima
cy election honors. We rejoice in this
growing appreciation by the democracy
of their fellow men. The political mil
leniwn, about which we read, is clawing
in Lancaster county, and there are even
wild rumors of a somewhat similar
atlilia
tion of these heretofore antagonistic ele
ments in Columbia. We understand tIO
a call is being signed for a meeting of the
"leaders" and that measures will be
adopted, which will result in the most
felicitous coalition of the democrats of
all ages, color and sexes. The heteroge
neity of the past will be lost in the homo
geneousness of the future.
Unblulling Frank.:
Dispatches to the Philadelphia papers
on monthly night reveal the following:
The Senate was not in session. The
evening session of the House was mmked
by the most reckless legislation that could
be imagined. Bills incorporating railroads
and other companies were passed by situ
ply reading their titles, and it was ascer
tained in one instance that a company had
been granted rights which would enable it
to construct a six foot wide track through
the entire length of the State. This bill
was afterwards reconsidered under the
system pursued. It was absolutely im
possible for the contents of the bill to be
known before the passage.
Since then it has transpired that an
other infamous outrage has been com
mitted by members of the Philadelphia
delegation. A bill was introduced ap
proved by councils providing for the
transfer to that body full authority over
the whole subject of delinquent taxes, a
matter in which there has been great
abuse and la's to the city amounting to
millions of dollars. This bill was really
passed by the Legislature.
The fact of its passage is vouched for
by William Elliot, one of the Representa
tives front this city, who had charge of it
in the Legislative . , and by Mr. Bardsley,
Chairman of the Joint Committees or
of Cmincils, who, with his colleagues,rep
resented the wishes of the city authori
ties. These gentlemen both attest the
fact that the bill prepared by councils and
correcting the abuses of which the city
justly complains, passed the House of
Representatives on the 15th of March,and
the Senate on the 22d of March. At that
time it went to the clerk's °dice to be en
grossed or enrolled, and there all trace of
the genuine bill is lost. Between that
time and the time when another, a coun
terfeit bill was signed by the Executive,
the gross and villainous fraud was perpe
trated substituting for a genuine act
of legislation a false paper that was never
passed. We present this additional in
sight into the character of Harrisburg
legislation, and the perils to the interests
and property of Philadelphia and its peo
ple from the never-ending frauds perpe
trated at Harrisburg.
Ix another column we present an ex..
tract from the able speech of Mr. Billing
felt delivered in the Senate on the great
Railroad bill. The speech has been favor
ably commented on by the press, as Mr.
Billingfelt's best eflort.

If any member of the Committee
thought the movement to press the issue on

The Night of St. Bartholomew.
Monday night was, to use • a llyberni
cism, a regular Field Day in the Rouse.
The roosters flaunted their gayest plum
age, and flapped their wings, and crowed
so lustily that the very rafters of the cap
itol vibrated with the noise. As the hours
of official existence are waning, the char
acter of the legislation becomes more
profligate. It would be in vain to run
through the catalogue of bills that were
hurried to final passage that night. The
bills were readmerely by their titles and
passed in a twinkling, and all who are
familiar with with Pennsylvania legisla
tion kiwi , / how ingeniously the language_
of the title is made to cover the frauds• '
lent nature of the act. Scarcely a mem
ber, except those who had clutrge of a bill
knew its contents, for no opportunity was
given to examine them. With such un
seemly haste were the bills rushed through
that the reporters could hardly catch the
titles, and it was not intended that they
should. As if to give some show of de
cency and deliberation to theproceedings,
two or three bills were reconsidered, but,
this was, probably, for the purpose of
giving them 'a fresh "squeeze." The
shameful scene was kept up until a late
hour, the chanticieers finally desisting
from downright exhaustion. Long will

WltAl"rillni HAYTI DONIt:
lu a former article we referred to the
fact, when W. G. Case, Esq., first located
In Columbia, the Reading & Columbia
Railroad was only a project. This has
been questioned by a few. An inquiry in
to the history of that enterprise estalishes
even more than we asserted. When the
construction of the road was first proposed
to Mr. Case, he stipulated for an immedi
ate commencement of the work, provided
.HubscriPtions to the stock to the amount
of $300,000:00 could be secured. This con
dition was apparently complied with, the
subscriptions were secured, but when the
collections were to he made only about
75,000.00 could be made available. This
exceedingly small sum became the start
ing point of a project which, as now corn
pleted.cost nearly three millions of dollars:
in fact this amount was the only cosh fund
•which Mr. C. could command in his haz
ardous undertaking. This was in truth
the working capital. This fund was soon
exhausted, and, Mr. C. had to rely upon
his individual enterprise and the resources
which a man of enterprise and determina
tion may devise. Bonds, scrips, due bills,
&c., were issued. loans negotiated, and the
finances so carefully managed that every
dollar of the floating obligations was
promptly met. The details of the disap
pointments and disparagements which
beset the enterprise would alone form an
interesting chapter in the history of our
carnet-baggers. Yet it was finally accom
plished, and no one can estimate the great
advantage to Columbia. which resulted
from the completion and subsequent oper
ation of the B. &C.F. B. There is not
a p.irallel in the history of railroad con
struction_ in which so "ranch determination
was display - ed. Mr. Case stood almost
alone in the breath. but refers with pleas
ure to the devotion of the few citizens who
were always ready to sustain him_ They
were carpet-leiggers--good men and true.
It is a pride for Columbians to point to
the thirteen furnaces and the two tolling,
mills Rine now lying idle) in and around
the town. As an iron centre we wield no
small influence in shaping legislation on
the most important interest. In faiit, it is
asserted in well-informed circles that the
late able mid statesmanlike review of com
missioner wens' report by Senator Scott
was induced by the resolutions and peti
tions of Columbilms. The comments
by the leading papers in the comity upon
their action is a flattering endorsement of
the importance we attach to these inter
ests.

as would, e mpl4,y one thousand additional
men would oi;, - -a up a most certain and
diro-r:t Iray to city dignity. To this end our
iron interests have contributed largely.
One gentleman alone contributed at least
$.40,f.ki.v0 to :he Value (.f the real estate
of Columbia.
We might pursue this subject further,
and prove but one and the same proposi
tion at first laid down—that about ninety
five per cent of our population belong to
the nomadic race (we do not however ignore
those most excellent citizens, who join
hands with their adopted brothers in
every 4.riblic enterorise.) We might point
to the banks, to the school building, to
the market house, to the new town Hall,
•to the atewspapers, and to—everything.
With such associates as these, the epithet
of carpet-bagger has become but another
name for enterprise, energy, thrift and
influence. Surely in the intelligence of
the decade upon which we have just en
tered, the croakers and old fogies "must
stand from under."
DEFUNCT.
Sale of the Furniture of the Democratic
Association of Pennsylvania
on Monday.
Monday saw the last of the Democratic
Assosiation of Philadelphia. For some
time past a furious war has been raging
in the ranks of the party in this city,which
last week culminated in open rupture and
subsequent disbauchnent. The leaders of
the unterrified have been quarrelling over
the new voting element so lately added to
our population, and were at chiggers'
points as to the measure by which their
failing fortunes might be retrieved. All
these causes, together with certain little
debts which the association had never
cancelled, conspired to hasten its dowfall.
A few days ago an advertisement appear
ed in the newspapers stating that on Mon
day, March 28, the furniture and tiixtures
of the " Democratic Association of Penn
sylvania" would be disposed of at public
sale, In accordance with the announce
ment a motly crowd gathered on Monday
at the rooms of the association, in the old
fashioned but respectable mansion at
Ninth and Arch streets. The crowd was
curious one,and was made up of all classes.
Democrats and Republicans, Irish and
colored men, coalesced together and kept
up a friendly rivalry in bidding for the
effects of the defunct Democracy. A few
members of the moribund association,
with w•oe-begone countenances, mingled
in the throng and helped to run up tile
prices by putting in an occasional bid.
Keepers of junk shops, secone-hand deal
ers, and a sprinkling of professional
thieves made up the residue.
The sale commenced punctually at tell
o'clock in the west parlor. The tables,
chairs, carpets, and chandeliers of this
apartment were sold at very good prices.
Two good engravings of 'Washington and
Jackson, whom the Democracy profess to
revere so much, were knocked down for
$lO each. Photographs of Seymour and
Blair, which adorned the walls of this
parlor, were not put up, on the plea that
they were private property. No body
manifested any special ankiety regarding
them, as far as we could see. The Flag
staff which "Surmounted the building, and
from which the banner of the Union, so
distasteful to the Democracy, had often
iloatzd, was disposed of at a sacrifice. A
member of the association, as if to excite
commiseration in the hearts of the buyers,
in a plaintive voice announced that it had
cost the association $1.50. This nppem
was in vain, however, it was knocked
clown at the end for $lO.
. The Eagle which adorned the top of the
roof was next put up. This eagle was, as
the auctioneer gravely announced, an
American eagle, of tine pattern, and had
cost the club a great deal of money. lu
his talons he held a scroll on which was
inscribed "The Union and the Constitu
tion." Alas! that the Democracy should
set such a little value upon articles so
necessary to the rhetoric of their orators.
The Eagle and the Constitution brought
$l7. The benches which had so often
supported the weary Democracy when they
liiul reparied to the headquarters to,listen
to the speeches of their demagogues, were
knocked down for a mere trifle. The
Rostrum from which so ninny of the shin
ing lights of the Democracy have address
ed the riff-riff of the party, was next put
Up, and knocked down for ten dollars to
a gentleman who, it is to be hoped, will
convert it to a better use. Some little
indignation was expressed by the curious
on account of the failure of the auction
eers to put up the coffee-pot which has
often increased the Democratic vote by
means of manufacturing fraudulent nat
uralization papers.
BEECHER says: "Ifs" are the dragons
which haunt men's lives. What a drag
on their fears would be removed if the old
croakers could defeat the new town Hall
project.
