LANCASTttl! DAILY INTELLIGENCE WEDNKSI) V, SEPTEMBER V2. IbtM, llancaster tmclligmrcv. WKDNE3DAT KVKNINO, 8B.PT, 12,'UUH. A Call Hint .Must Ite llcanl. There Is a neneral call throughout tlie country for the suppression of the vroeden pole nuisance in cities. Tin? Action of the commissioners of the J)Js trlct of Columbia In notifying the tule graph cempaulrs that the timu has ceme when their wires must go under -round Is warmly npplauded by the press cveiy wherr. The practicability of the under, ground system has been fully deinenstip. tid. Chicago lias successfully used It and an has Pittsburg. The Dispatch of the latter city claims llnib It " has led the ether cities of the land by establish ing a subterranean conduit for electric wires which lias been proved te work with great success ;" and it demands that all the overhead wires shall be taken down at once. The Washington corn's pondentet te-day's New Yerk Jlmilil says: Congress was tlie first te condemn the unsightly masts by prohibiting Ihelr creo cree creo tlea en or nnywhere near the capitol grounds. Fer soveral years evcry wire running Inte tlie eapltel has been through underground cables, and thoe familiar with congressional sessl- ns new knew what a vast amount l elegriiphing i dene from the ueuate unit Uotie g.illcrks and at tbe offices in the public corridors It hnsncTer becu ncccssaly te take up the oables since originally laid, and no com plaint has arisen te interfere iu prompt transmission of business. The cxample thus established by Cengrcs', it is understood, will be enforced by the commissioners, and nt no dtsUnt day all of the telegraph companies will be required te put their wires underground. An application is nlready bnfore the commissioners te in augurate the movement by laying an un dergreund cable for telegraphic aul tolephonio uses between the capitol, White Heuso and all of the departments, thus dispensing with the unsightly wires which new disticure the buildings Tbe success of this oiitcrprise will hasUti he reform which the commissioners haie determined te en force. Iu this time of general duiunclatietr of electt ic wlre poles, the councils of the city of Lancaster thieugh a pre-erui uently stupid cemmlltif has entered into a contract for the lighting of the BtrcetB with electricity, which it is claim claim eJ confers upon a private corporation of Philadelphia speculators tlie privilege of putting as many poles upon our streets as they ple.rsc. The number they intend te plant they say is six hundred and fifty. The contract, though can lessly drawn, does net, iu 0111 judgment, authorize the ce-iustruetiuii that the city has surrendered te this company such an unlimited privilege. It la still within the city's power te forbid the company te put up its clcctiic wires iu an obnox ious way ; but even if the city w.is restricted by the contract when made, it need be .se no longer, its the time has leiig since p.ssd u hen the lights were te !e erected, and the con tract is clearly forfeitable. The city authorities, however, stem te have no desire te forfeit it. They have con tracted a strange love for the Maxim's ugly poles. That which is lovely in them te these men is conceited from the mas3 of the citizens, who see nothing in them of a tedeeming character. The lamp committee and the councils, however, go en as though there was no hereafter and no people te be faced at the election polls. "When they come there they will learn what is thought of their btevvardship. Meanwnue uiey cnoe3o te abuse, the r power and undertake te force upon the streets the 050 pests which its people de net want. The chalrmin of the lamp committee has seeu lit te shield the llaNim company and te make complaint against these who cut down lis peles. He Is ns rash as stupid. Pkesidknt lit ( iian vs. encountering the firm resolve of Judge Black te re! use bis approval te the president's reply te the Southern commissioners, surrend ered the draft te him for correction ac cording te his own vluws, declaring that what he had said had come from his tongue and net from his judgment. The objection in brief of .Judge JHuek te Mr. Huehsumu'a paper was a3 te its totnperizlng character and its fail ure te state clearly and positively the views that the president held. Mr Buchanan agrevd with Judge Black, as he says, and as was no doubt the case, in his opinions ; but he failed in the bold aud emphatic- expression or his views This was eminently characteristic e Mr. Uuchanan. He was ery wise in ceuncll.but feebler in execution. He was a constitutional compromiser. But he naturally surrendered te the vigorous action of his secretary of state. He was net In a position te refuse any cenees slen te secure the support of the North ern members of his cabinet. liven though his judgment had differed from that of his secretary or state, the circumstances in which he found himself, would have Invited its siciillce; but when they agreed in that and only differed as te the expediency of clearly saying whip, was meant, the deniaud of Judge Black for an uninlstakable utterance was net te be resisted. Piiem 1870 te 18h0 the total number of farms iu the ceuntiy increased from 2,059,0S5te 4 00S,0u7and iu Pennsylvania from 174,011 te 21.,51'. Throughout me southern states theie was a very large percentage of iticicase. In our own state the greatest Increase was et farms of ever 100 acres, showing that the iiiciease was due te new land being brought under cultivation rather than te a subdivision of that formerly made arable ; at the same time the average ske of farms has decreased in the statu fiew 103 te 0.) ncrra and iu the country at large from 15J te 131 notes ; this Is a very satisfactory exhibit, as improved and closer tillage undoubtedly biings better tesults new from the farm et reduced size. The slight appaieut te duutlen iu tlie aggregate- value or Pennsylvania farms from 1870 te 18S0 is of course due te the depreciation In the market value of real estate, owing te a return te the geld s andard, rather than te any decrease iu Its productiveness. The Jtepublicau senators think they have secured command et the situation by the resolution they liave adopted in caucus te meet every Tuesday and Friday, adjourning each time as seen as they meet. It Istjulte a pretty plan, if they can mljkeH wurk. Uefere start lug tills game, however, they propose te approprlate the very largest sum for the cost of the session, that their cry against their opponents en account of this cost tnav be iu loud us possible. When these gentlemen get their money they may laugh. At present It seems altogether 1 robable that they will med a two-thirds vote te see the color of It. Wnrr.r there Is net much beating of the tem-toms throughout the state just rrew, the Democratic state ceininittie teperts active and prompt cerresimnd ence with the local organizations and an unusually well sustained Interest en the part of the working iKilllicians iu the elllclent discipline of the party.

They will find their mistake. It is net prudent political management te hunt with a brass ba id at least tee early In Hie game ; but who calculates en a disorganized or demeralised Deme cratic party in the state this year, leuuts without his host. As the time for the election of i n. treller of Philadelphia appreache ie is much cuiiesitv manifested te s h i manner of man the Republican politic ians of that city will put in nomination for the place which was dignified and lifted into importance by Mr. Paulsen's fearless and intelligent exercise of It.
