A Public Wrong.
Judge Beyer, at Norristown, has re
fused the injunction asked for by the
Beading railroad company te forbid the
laying of a branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad upon Lafayette street, in that
town. The decision, we understand,
was based upon the ground that the
special injury threatened te the Heading
railroad company did net warrant the
injunction ; but yet the decision gees in
effect further, in that it declares that the
read-bed of a street may be occupied by
a railroad company becausa of the neces
sities of commerce.
"We hope that the time is at hand
when our roadways will receive ade
quate protection from the courts or the
Legislature against the impudent en.
creachments of railroads. If the law is
as laid down by .ludge Beyer, then the
relief must come from the Legislature.
But we de net believe that he has cor
rectly stated the law. It may be the
law, as it will be construed by the
supreme court, for there is no telling
what that tribunal will decide. But it
is net the law, as the sense of the people
will decide it, that a railroad may be
laid upon the bed of a street that was
laid out for the convenient passage of
men and horses and wagons se as te de
prive the men and horses and wagons of
that free use of the roadway which is
their prerogative. These rights of the or
dinary uses of roadways have long been
trampled upon, we knew, clear as they
are. The power of the railroads has
secured them the privilege from the
courts and Legislature of crossing read
ways at grade and at speed, with a sim
ple warniug from their whistle. This
has been given them under the plea of
its necessity ; and it would be a geed
plea if a true eue ; because necessity is
net te be withstood. But it is net ncc
essary that a railroad should cress an
other lead at grade. It can always be
taken above or below it, and always
should be. The user of the read,
whose ancient right has been
interfered with by this modern
invention, is entitled te be protected
against any interference with his right
which is net dictated by an absolute
necessity. lie has net received huch
protection. He does net even receive
damages when he is injured at a crossing
unless he can prove that he stepped and
listened and was in every way alert te
avoid the accident. Such is the respensi
bility imposed upon him by the wise men
who enjoy as supreme court judges free
passes and ether distinguished favors from
railroad companies. The day of the t ir
rying of such men en the bench is wan
ine fast, and seen the places that knew
them will knew them no mere, nor any
of their kind.
"When that time comes such law as
that which Judge Beyer would give us
will be condemned. It will net be de
clared te be a necessity of commerce
that railroads be laid upon and alene:
the streets of a town, its engines and
cars te run side by side with the
horses and wagons and men who form
erly enjoyed its exclusive use. The rail
read is very well. It is a necessity ; but
it must be laid down se as te infringe
the least upon ancient rights. It is well
that the Pennsylvania branch should go
through Norristown ; but it should go
through above its streets or below them,
net en them. If it is raised se high as
net te interfere with the passage be
neath of the tallest wagon, then there
will be no unnecessary interference by it
with the streets of Norristown. Build
ing its abutments where they will net
obstruct the use of the roadway and
raising its superstructure se as te he out
of the way.the courts and the Legislature
may permit a railway te go through a
town and along or across a read without
unnecessary injury of driver for whom
the reads and the stieets were laid out.
The borough authorities of Xoiristewn
probably agreed te give the Pennsylva
nia branch the privilege of using the
roadway of its street ; but these author
ities have net or ought net te have that
power. City councils are net unifermily
nor even ordinarily wise, nor always hon
est. They may net give the birthright
of their people away. This town of
Lancaster has suffered long from the
stupidity and supiueness of its autheri
ties in facing lailread oppression ;
when the railroad was yet in its
infancy, the Philadelphia railroad
was drawn by our ancesters frecs the
line around the city te which it has just
returned, and the cost of grading the
track into the city was paid by it te se
. cure the entrance into its centre. That
felly was excusable in that early date in
railroad experience. But since then it
has been repeated in the permission
given te the Heading railroad te traverse
one of the city streets through its whole
length ; a privilege that ought never te
have been granted, and that would be
unendurable if the traffic ever the read
was great. And new the Pennsylvania
railroad has been allowed te take its
line along the edge e the city
making no prevision for bridges where
the city streets, unlaid out, cress
it, and crossing the many turnpikes
it meets at our gates eithQr at grade or
by bridges whose abutments stand far
into the roadway, where the railroad
cresses above or whose superstructure
greatly narrows it, where the railroad
passes below. It is true that these
turnpike and read crossings are net gen
erally within the city limits, and that
the responsibility for their incumbrance
rests upon the turnpike managers and
township authorities. But the fact of
this common submission from se many
sources te this railroad aggression only
emphasizes the cowardice found en all
sides in constituted authorities when
they are called en te resist a great rail
road corporation. Se that new it lies
in the hands of the people te de the
work, and the indications are that they
will de it thoroughly.

With Senater Cameren in Europe and

Down in Memphis, Tennessee, another
duel was fought yesterday between two
newspaper men, but it was quite an im
premptu aflair. The editor of the Mem
phis World was suddenly attacked by a
correspondent, and firing began promptly
en both sides. The casualty was one man
wounded. These gentlemen proceeded iu
the wrong way. They should have her
alded the affair in all the newspapers in
the land. Such action gives eclat te the
duels of the present day.
Tni: number of yellow fever stricken
vessels that are quarantined near Southern
ports is se siguiGcantly large that much
apprehension is felt for a repetition of the
ravages of the plague in the Seuth. The
country has net forgotten when se short a

overrun with the disease, and it is te be
fcrveut'.y hoped that strict sanitary ar
rangements will enable the authorities if
net te eradicate it at least te check its
further progress.

Dublin te various tertus of penal set t t :.
They were charged with being implicated
iu a murder conspiracy which had for its
object the blowing up of the "Westen
house at Galway in March, 1882. There
has been a geed deal of ability aud
sagacity demonstrated by the English and
Irish detectives in ferreting out the per
petrators of crime, which gees as far as
any ether thing iu checking the secret
murders which for se leag disgraced the
Irish cause.
The Count DcChamberd still lives,
Plen Plou's manifesto remains unissued
aud the fi-jhting Paul de Cassagnac of the
l'aus is no farther towards royalty than
bufere. Certainly this state of affairs is net
his fault, for ever since he was fed en the
ambrosia! feed of royalty and received his
imperialistic ideas at the fallen Tuileries,
he has becu firm te the cause of the Bon Ben
apartes and a bitter opponent te the Re
publicans, against whose representatives
his rapier has ever been turned, often with
deadly results, in lonely spots en the Bel
gian frontier. M. de Cassagnac is net the
most prominent, but he is eue of the most
powerful aud relentless, fees te popular
government in France, although he avows
his undying love for his country, and with
his paper te disseminate his views aud
principles?, he wields ue small iuilueuee

At a meeting last evening of the Jeffer Jeffer
eon Democratic association of Yerk, and
of which Lieutenant Goveruor Black is
picsident, a letter from Governer Butler,
of Massachusetts, was read. Iu it the
governor has. the following, concerning
Jeffersen: "Te no man does this ceun
try ewe se much as te Jeffersen. But for
him our form of government would have
descended into a government of the few,
which is werse than au actual despotism,
for in that the people have only te con
tend with the vice, ignerauce and extrava
gance of one tyi ant, in a government of
the few the people have many tyrants te
contend against, until they become an in
tolerable burden, only te ba removed
through such a tremendous upheaval as
was the French revolution. Frem this
Jeffersen's example and teachings have
thus (ar preserved us. If the country
wanders much farther away from Jeffer Jeffer
eon's doctrines aud the burdens of mono
polies and special privileges increase much
mere a despotism must be the result, if
the people are net obliged te appeal te
ether means."

The Team at Wimbledon.
The American rifle team began practis

tricky. Out of a possible 35 C. W. Hin
man and F. J. Rabbeth each scored 29, J.
M. Pollard scored 24, W. L. Cash 22, and
Mr. Ball 17.
The Americans have entered themselves
for all the matches for which they aie
qualified. Twe series of prizes will be in
stituted which will be open only te the
Americans. The Wimbledon committee
has decided net te allow the American
team te use wiud gauges, aB it considers
that the issue te them of complimentary
tickets te military competitions will insure
the Americans a full amount of practice.
Thus they will obtain the same amount of
practice as the Euglish team will. The
complimentary tickets entitle the Ameri
cans te sheet free, unless they compete for
prizes, in which case they must enter iu
the usual manner.
The Press.
Frem W. IJeurke Cockran's Fourth of July
Speech in Tammany Hall.
Above all, let us en this day, when our
political conduct is before us for inspec
tion, resolve that free speech sball
never be invaded in this land of liberty
and of law. While we can discuss
public measures and public meu we are
all lawmakers, for we are forming that
public opinion which iu a free country
controls statesmen and shapes their policy
and legislation. As an element of free
speech, a free press must always be the
object of zealous care in a wcll-erdeicd
community. The importance of free
newspaper discussion, forming as it does a
channel for the interchange of ideas
between men widely scattered in ter
ritory, but closely allied in interest, can
never be overlooked. It is true that the
liberty granted te the press may often be
abused and frequently degenerated into
licenses. Indeed, the exact bounds te
which it should be confined has been the
subject of much speculation. But te my
mind the absolute liberty which it is per
mitted is the best guarautee against any
gross abuse of its privilege.
A newspaper te be influential or profita
ble must secure public confidence. This
it can only get by fidelity te public inter
ests. If it degrades its privileges te the
service of base purposes, if it makes char
acter the sport of wanton malignity, if it
retails slander as news aud wickedly iD
vades the domains of truth and honor in
its discussions, it will experience proper
retribution iu the less of circulation, de
creased profits aud the forfeiture of public
support.
The xsatlenal Democratic Convention.
N. Y.Sun.
We Becend the motion that Saratoga
shall be selected as the place for holding
the national Democratie convention in
1884. It is a delightful spot ; everybody
likes te go there ; and it pessesses ample
hotel accommodations for the greatest
throng that maybe collected.
We de net known any ether place that
unites extraordinary attractions and con
veniences in se great a degree as Sara
toga. We also suggest te the national com
mittee, who have the matter iu tbeir hands,
that the convention should net be held at
tee early a day. There is no advantage in
launchiug prematurely into the heat and
labor of the canvass. Montgomery Blair,
one of the wisest public men we have ever
known, bas always been of the opinion
that the first of September is quite early
enough.
Terrorism in Arkansas.
Portions of Garland, Yell and Mono Meno Mone
gomery counties, Ark., are still under the

be had been requested te call out the mi
litia, but saw no neaessity for doing se,
and urged the sheriffs te call out large

A UKEATGATIIK 1UMUC.
velln Cduierun'd Arizona Purchase.
Frem the Arizona Daily Star of June
5th printed at Tucson, Arizona territory,
we learn that Celin Cameren, formerly
mauagcr of the Elizabeth stock farms,
near Brickerville, this county, has pur
chased from Rollins B. Richardson, the
San Rafael stock range, located about
sixty-five miles south of Tucson, and con
taining about sixteen square miles of the
finest grazing land iu the world.. The
Slur understands that the purchase was
made for a strong Eastern syndicate which
includes both General aud Deu Cameren,
aud home of the wealthiest meu of Wash
ington city. They propose te put ou large
herds of stock which will include cattle,
horses and hogs. Mr. Cameren secured,
with his purchase about hfteen hun
dred head of as line Americau
cows aud hulls as can be found
iu Arizona. The altitude of the rauge
i3 about 5,000 feet above sea level, and is
neither het nor cold. The range is a vast
rolling mesa country, thickly covered with
the most nutritious grasses dining the
entire year. The Sauta Cruz river rises
ou the range and runs through it for live
miles or mere, which supplies everlasting
water. There are a large number of never
failing spriugs en different parts of the
ranch. This is en important fact, as water
controls the land iu this country, and
another thing, a geed stream is equal te a
dozen herdcis, as the cattle must ceme te
it for water, which keeps them from
reaming off tee far.
Ne winter shelter is required. In the
foothills and the mountains there is
plenty of timber, canons and shelter,
wheie the wind is never felt. The fact is,
it seldom gets cold enough te freeze ice
an inch thick. We very seldom have
snow. As for hay, the ground is covered
with grass during the entire winter,
which cures itself, and is just as nu
tritious in January as iu September.
Here is where Arizona beats the world
for stock raising. Ne shelter is
required, nor this great expense of putting
up hay. The ranch will snppert fifteen
thousand cattle and a large number of
hers.es. The mountains are covered with
oak trees which bpar thousands of bushels
of aceius from which thousands of hogs
can he rai-sed aud fattened ter the maiket.
This could be made a highly profitable
pait of the stock business ou that ranch.
Mr. Richardseu from whom the purchase
was made regards stock raising as the
safebt, best paying and iu every way the
most pietitable business in Arizona. He
believes any man with industry and geed
judgment aud a few cattle can make him
self a fortune iu le.-s time, less risk and less
haid work thau in any ether business in
the country. He only sold out te Cam Cam
eeon because he offered him his price, and
he will at ouce leek out for auether exten
sive laueh. The terms of 3Ir. Cameren's
purchase aie net made public.

llarriaburjr Independent.
Werk ou Rebert H. Celeman's new
railroad iiein Cornwall te Lebanon is
being pushed ferwatd with the expecta
tion of completing it in about six weeks.
It will be about live aud one third mi leu in
length, the greatest portion of which has
been graded, and rails have been laid about
three miles, beginning at Lobaueu. There
will be three regular stations, one at each
end aud ene about midway, though it is
probable tbat the trains w;il step at ether
points whenever there are persons who
want te alight or beard the train. At
Cornwall some magnificent bridges ever
public reads aie bumg ceiibtructed new,
both for the New Lebanon & Cornwall
read and the old Cornwall read.
At Cornwall Rebcit II. Celuinau is
removing the tracks of the old read te
the west side of the old read bed and
the rails of the new read will be laid ou
the old bed. Whuicver he takud up
the old rails he furnishes new rails for
both reads. The two reads are parallel
lines, en au average only about beven feet
apart. The "old" Cornwall was built
some 30 years age, and, as one of the
officials smilingly remarked, it connected
with the Union canal before the Lebauen
valley railroad was built. The eldest
charcoal furnace new iu operation in the
United States 'a located at the
ether end of the line. It bcleugs te
the R. W. Celemau heirs. This es
tate bas four I'urui'ces at Cornwall and oue
at Lebanon. Rebert II. Celemau has one
at Cornwall aud two at Lebaueu. The G.
Dawsen Celeman heirs have two furnaces
and J. and R. Meily eue furnace at Leba Leba
eou. Owing te these furnaces and the
immense quantity of ere taken Irum the
Cornwall banks, the iron ere tonnage is
very large. Besides the ere used at the
eleveu furnaces, Urge quantities are
sold aud scut te ether furnaces. It is
expected that the quauticy will be
greatly increased after the Southern
outlets have beeu completcd. The old
Cornwall read will ha exteuded this sum
racr four and three quarter miles te MeunC
Hepo, where a roadbed was made years
age (but no track laid) te Mauheim, Lan
caster county, where a connection will be
made with the Reading and Columbia read.
The passenger train.-) which formerly run
te Donaghmero station, in the webtern
suburbs of Lebanon, new ruu te the
Lebanon Valley read. The Cornwall and
Lebanon railroad (Rebert II. Celeman's)
will connect at Cornwall with the Cole Cele
brook Valley railroad, which has been
under construction the past three yearn,
and will, it is expected, be completed by
Augnst. The latter read is ever sixteen
miles long and will connect with the
Pennsylvania railroad at Conewago station
about fifteen miles below this city. It is
expected tbat large quantities of Cornwall
ere will be shipped ever this read te the
Pennsylvauia read.

Philadelphia Times.
" The late Archbishop Purcell was a
yeuug lawyer in Lau caster about 1832
33," said Rebert S. Reed last evening. " I
remember his appearance distinctly,
though 1 was quite yeuug at the time. He
struggled for about two years te secure
practice, but was unsuccessful and went
West. When we next heard of him he
was a priest. He was a pepulir young
man of perhaps 2G years, but he was un
fortunate in selecting Lancaster. Its bar
then contained the ablest talent iu the
state. There were the Hepkiuscs, Buch
anan. Jenkins, Peters, Montgomery, Fra
zer, Park, Champneys and Ellmakci- This
was long before Tnaddeus Stevens' time.
Yes, Icau sue young Purcell new, with his
threadbare frock coat. His experience in
Lancaster caiihed him te enter the priest
hood, I believe."
The above statement is net correct.
Archbishop Purcell neither studied nor
practiced law in Lancaster. His brother,
Edward Pnrcell, read law in this city with
the late Judge Champneys. He wet a
diffident, retiring sort of man and never
made much headway here. About 1834
or 1835 he left this city and went te Cin
cinnati where be became assistant te his
mere eminent brother. His subsequent
career is familiar te all. Eds. Intelli
