TUESDAY BVBNINQ, JAN. 24, 1882.
Tke Sew Treaty of Ifeace.
The l-ailread magnates tell the public
that they have settled their differences
and are again a band of brothers, having
no aim but the filling of their treasuries
at the expense of the people. Heretofore
some of them have been pesing as bene
factors, fighting for a principle and the
peepeFs rights. Mr. Vanderbilt has been
conspicuous in declaring that New Yerk
shall get Western goods at the same cost
as Philadelphia, though it is a longer
haul. The Pennsylvania and Baltimore
reads have en the ether hand been vir"
tueusly determined that their cities shall
enjoy the natural advantage of prox
imity te the West. All these companies
were fighting, according te their ac
counts, for the interests of the people of
their section.
But meanwhile they were unani
mously grasping all the dollars they
could get for all the freight which they
could control along their respective lines.
The local rales have been raised while
the through rates have been cut down ;
such a course being necessary te enable
the treasury te stand the game. The
problem given was te carry through
freights at a less and keep'.the dividends
up. Obviously the local freights had te
be called upon te provide the solution ;
and they have been.
Why through freights should be car
ried without profit has been an enigma.
It has net bsen because these freights
were needed te provide sufficient busi
ness for the reads, since they have lately
complained of having tee much business,
and it is notorious that the Pennsylvania
railroad at least has suffered heavily by
the numerous accidents occurring en its
heavily-blocked read. The public, in
looking around for the reason for these
frequently alternating declarations of
war and treaties of peace between the
great railroads, think that they are jus
tified in finding stock-jobbing rea
sons at the bottom of them.
Warned by experience, they de
net rise se readily te the lly as
they used te de. The present com
pact of peace is heralded without seduc
ing the people who have money te invest
into putting it into railroad stocks.
These decline te go up in price under the
stimulus of the settlement of the
railroad war, notwithstanding capital is
very abundant and is content with low
interest. The trap has been set tee often
te be very inviting. Maybe after awhile
hesitating investors may be again lured
in te seize the tempting bait ; but the
number of foolish people te be caught
grows steadily smaller with each snap
ping of the trap, and presently it will
cease te be effective.
There is an elegant opportunity new
for aspiring patriots te make a success-
fall assault upon these great railway
corporations which have demonstrated te
the satisfaction of everyone the utter
selfishness of their management. Ne
one can question the fact they are public
plunderers, in that they both charge tee
much for their service, aud that they
charge unequally. In honest truth the
geed of the country requires that trans
portation should be as cheap and efficient
as possible : with railroads capitalized at
their actual cost, goods and passengers
would be carried with cheapness, dis
patch and safety. When they are com
pelled tee rn dividends upon an extrava
gant valuation, their charges must needs
b3 high and their economies dangerous.
The people are beginning te have a
thorough comprehension of the evils
under which they suffer from the tax
levied upon their labor by railroad man
agers. They knew that it is far greater
than the imposts of the government.
Whether we have a high tariff or free
trade is of little consequence beside the
question as te whether or no we shall
have our transportation at i moderate
profit en its cost, and be secured in it by
a better guarantee than a railroad presi
dent's premise. If the railroads were
but held te their duty as common car
riers as defined in the common law, the
manufacturing aud business interests of
this country would have all the protec
tion they need for their property, and
undoubtedly the question of the regula
tien of railway carriage is one of the
great issues of the day.
Clakksex X. Pettei: was of the
higher class of statesmen aud one whom
the country could ill spare, lie was in
telligent and upright, acting always in
his public capacity according te his
judgment of the general geed and net
always looking out te secure an individ
ual profit. We nominated him once for
president, aud a lirst-rate one he would
have made. He was of a distinctly dif
ferent type from Mr. Tildcn, whose na
ture fcrbids his considering anybody or
thing before himself. Mr. Petter was
always honest, reliable and wise ; and if
the leaders of the New Yerk Democracy
had been of his kind, animated by his
impulses, it is quite safe te say that the
Democratic party would long since have
been in possession of the country.
There is nobody we like better te
commend for an efficient and vigorous
discharge of his duties than Judge Pat
terson. In his administration of the
quarter sessions court last week he
showed a commendable disposition te
put his feet down en the multiplication
of cases and costs, when no end is served
thereby but te give the officials mere
money at the expense of the county ;
and his severe sentences of some of the
rowdies brought before him will go far
far toward abating ruffianism en our
streets.
The preposition te organize for the
.suppression of political corruption is a
uubject whichjmerits the active co-opera
tien of all geed citizens. This evil
started mainly and spread most rapidly
hi the primary elections of the Republi
can party in this county, and very fitly
tt.t. tfieya te suppress' it comes from the
: crirter. It is a scourge, however,
TfiAih Httwt all elections and poisons
tt ptrti'ss ; hence the preposition te
wjttvZ, it should meet with favor from
all yrhn werifrl purge the body politic of
the vtttft ' which it has been subjected. ;
Ex-Sexater Wallace's address is J
te be delivered in the court house this
evening. The theme and the orator are
worthy the attention of our citizens, and
there will no doubt be a large audience
te greet them.
" Fek exce " there is a prospect that
the Lancaster school beard will become
a tie, as the law contemplates that it
should be.

The New Jersey Legislature reassem
bled last evening. Among the bills in
troduced in the Heuse was ene previdiug
for a whipping pest for wife beaters, and
another requiring city railway cars te pi
a license.
Lord Louse is reported te hav
spoken strongly siuce his return te Canada
against " the system of permitting Cana
dian emigration agents in England te send
settlers te Canada by way of United States
ports," inasmuch as mauy intending te
settle in the Domiuieu are thereby "in
duced te remain in the states."
The Denver postefiice affords an exam
ple of the enormous growth of mail busi
ness in the West. Duriug the last five
years tbe expanses of the office have in
creased only oue half, while its receipts
have nearly quadrupled. The money or
der receipts were ever $2,000,000 last year
against 530,000 in 1870.
The mistake in Oscar Wilde's re
ception whether it is gushing or criti
calis in treating him as the apostle of a
new school, when in fact he is hardly
among the chief followers of it ; he is a
mere offshoot of a movement which was
begun almost before he was horn and in
which he is a very commonplace ligure at
home.
Anti-1'Oi.yeamv meetings were held last
evening in Chicago, St. Paul, Portland
(Maine) aud ether cities, in which speeches
were made by prominent gentlemen. The
Mermen question was discussed very gen
erally in the pulpits of Kalamazoo, Mich
igan, en Sunday morning. A petition
asking Congress te take effective meas
ures against polygamy is receiving hun
dreds of siguaturss in that city.
At a late meeting of the trustees of the
College of the City of New Yerk, the col
lege which costs the city between one aud
two hundred thousand dollars a year, it
was reported that the number of students
new in the institution is 920, divided as
fellows : Introductory department, 497 ;
Freshmen, 191 ; Sophomores, 123 ; Juni
ors, 08 ; Seniors, 47. That is, of the pu
pils who enter, less than one tenth pur
sued the course te the end. As a high
school, with a single year's course, the
institution seems te be fairly successful, but
as seen us it asks its students te step be
yond into its- regular collegiate depart
ment, they drop off rapidly.
It lias always been a superstition among
the hunters of Pike County that te kill a
white deer would take away all geed luck
from any ene se thoughtless as te lire the
fatal shot. White deer are among the
raie animals that ream the weeds. They
are se rare, in fact, that many people be
lieve them te be myths. Old hunters de
clare that they have seen deer as white as
snow bounding ever the Pike cjunty
lidges iu years gene by, and relate instan
ces of the fate which overtook men who
were se rash as te kill them. Heiubeck
Shriner killed the last one, despite the
warnings of the old hunters ; his health,
rugged as an ex's began te fail him and
his $30,0.10 fortune all melted aud he died
iu the midst of domestic trouble. Twe
companions shared an almost similar fate.
Se speaks the '"old hunter" in the New
Yerk Sun.
That luminary of orthodoxy, the New
Yerk Sun, thinks Judge Black's reply te
Ingersoll was incomplete, hut that Rev.
Gee. P. Fisher's later defense of Christi
anity in the Werth American lliciete is as
far off as Mr. Black's was from silencing
the audacious infidel and dissipating his
arguments. The ground taken by Prof.
Fisher atj.he commencement is a practical
abandonment te his opponent of the vital
point in dispute : " The question re
specting auy creed proposed for belief,
whether in religion or philosophy or
science, is whether the leaseus for it aie
stronger than the reasons against it, and
whotherthey are enough stronger te jus
tify credence. Christianity asks no mere
for itself than is conceded te every ether
system and theory.'" The Suit is of opin
ion that Fisher gives away the whole case
when he concedes that ; Christianity is
net a divinely revealed system of doctrine,
demanding reverential faith, hut one con
cerning which we must weigh prehabili
tics and form an opiuieu, as we would
concerning any ether subject." The Sun
shines for all able infidels and weak de
fenders of the faith.

The late Clakksex N. Pettek was a
determined antagonist of the claim aud
subsidy business and iu October, 1877,
was selected by Speaker Raudall as chair

A. Scott was then president, as well of the
Texas Pacific, which was expected te come
before Congress as a claimant for subsidy.
His course iu this matter was character

THE SUI'KKnir; COUKT.
Important Habeas Corpus Ca--i Decided
Xc&terdny.
The following important ease was de
cided by the supreme court of the United
States yesterday :
Ne. 11. Original. Ex parte Peter M.
Rowland ct. al., County Commissioners of
Chambers county, Ala. This was a peti
tion for a writ of habeas corpus te procure
the release of the county commissioners of
Chambers ceuntv. who Imil hrrm fineil -mrl
imprisoned by order of the United States
circuit'eeurt for alleged contempt, iu re
fusing aud neglecting te correct a special
tax which the said court had ordered for
the purpose of satisfying Us judgment.
The return of the commissioners te the
peremptory writ of mandamus set forth
that they had levied the tax, as directed,
and had instructed the tax collector te col
lect it, but that the latter had refused te
de se, for the reason that the law did net
require him te qualify and give bends for
the collection of special taxes.
The United States circuit court held this
return te be insufficient, declared the com
missioners t3 be in contempt, imposed a
fine en them, and committed them te pris
en until such fine should be paid. Their
release is sought by the piewnt petition
for a writ of habeas corpus. Tuis court
holds tbatiu duly levying the tax, aud put
ting ic into tue nanus el the tax collector,
the county commissioners performed their
whole duty ; that they were net properly
chargable with the collection of the tax and
could net be required by mandamus te com
pel the tax collector te de his duty if he ne
glected it. It was in the power of the judg
ment creditor te proceed by mandamus
against the collector directly if he would
net Collect the tax : but thfl RemmiKqiniini-:
could net be held responsible for his failure
10 ae se. rn eruenug tue arrest, ami punish
ment of the commissioners for net doing
what the law did net require them te de
the United 3tates court exceeded its juris
diction and its order is void. The writ of
habeas corpus must be granted unless the
parties are willing that an order of dis
charge be entered without further pro
ceedings. Opinion by Chief Justice Waite.
Beb Litter Smith.
Beb Lister Smith, who was sentenced
te eue year's imprisonment in the Phila
delphia county prison, and te pay a fine
of $100, has applied te the supreme court,
through Colonel Maun, his counsel, for an
order transferring te that com t the record,
indictment, special verdict and the judg
ment of the court thereon. In the appli
cation Mr. Mann claims that the judg
ment of the lower court was erroneous in
assuming the act committed was malici
ous, whereas there was no such finding by
the jury. He further says that he has net
asked the court te admit Smith te bail, as
was done in Haines' case, but left the
matter entirely with the court, and they
might admit him te bail or net. All he
wants is te have the supreme court pass
upon the correctness of Judge Briggs' ru
ling. Judge Briggs was sought, but he
was engaged in trying a hemicids case.

JOHN AMWEU'S UEMUKICEK.
His Dl8lm-lisatieii ler Newspaper Notoriety.
Ill a private letter Jehn M. Araweg, jr.,
fermeriy of this city, new of Ferd's opera
company, takes exception te an article
printed about him in a local contemporary
in which he is represented as "veryfiee
in speaking about his love affair with
Nellie Hazeltine ;" of sayiug " without
vanity that his name is mere familiar iu the
West than is President Arthur's," aud of
exhibiting " a revolver presented te him
by the judge of tlie St. Leuis court, with
judicial recognition of Jehn's bad treat
ment neatly engraved thcren. and also a
geld watch given him by St. Leuis friends
expressing, in fitting words, their appre
ciation of his worth aud the ' deep dam
nation' of the untimely taking-off of his
expected bride." Referring te this pub
licatien, Jehn observes that if the editor
" wished te publish an article he should
be sine te have it correct. It would be
greatly te his credit if he were te stand
closer te the truth, for a paper of 7tis kind
can" I ajf'erd te become se extravagant in
its circulation of reports untrue. He winds
up with the parenthetical threat that if
" anything mere ei the kind is heard they
will he apt. te hear from me."

THE LE&F.
THE LOCAL TOBACCO MAKKET.
Heay Deliveries and Big Prices Paid.
Although for a part of the past week
the weather was unfavorable for moving
tobacco the reads being very muddy dur
ing the early part of the week and the
weather cold aud windy during the latter,
there was nevertheless considerable
activity in tobacco circles, and a great
deal of leaf delivered at the warehouses.
Seme of the lets were exceptionally geed

Moses Snavely, of Leacock, delivered te
Skiles ic Frey, 3,271 pounds raised en an
acre and three-quarters of land. The price
paid was 33 cents through, or $1,079.43
for the let. Jacob Stehman, of Maner,
delivered te the same firm 7,737 pounds
grown en three and a hall acres, at 24 J
cents through, and was paid cash 1,
