LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE!? WEDNESDAY. OCTOHE1 121.188;. I.-.J Lancaster C-nlclUgcnrrv. WEDNESDAY KVENIKQ, OCT. 24 10113 Jersey Central Ullgallen. The counsel imtl parties In that Jerfey Central litigation seem te be having quite an Intonating convention, which Is anything but a. leve feast. The pro ceeding was started ostensibly by one Dinsmere, president of the Adams ex ex mess company, te defeat the lease by the Heading of the Central, in which he says he holds 2.000 Bhares. the uuis aim answers being filed, an examiner was up pointed te take testimony, who has held several meetings. Mr. Gewen, who is noleJ for the dexterity and vigor with which he can thrust his pole among the wild animals in a cage.wlien he guts them collected there, has new a splendid op portunity for the dfsplay of his talent and is Improving it. The ether side of the animal show is represented by ex Kpnaler Conkling, who lias nothing as yet te de but Introduce his bears te the J . It,.., n.,,1 nrnii-1 nt I examiner lercA.niiiu.iuuii, ... . Mr. Gewen when he proceeds te stir them up tee freely with his pole. They are an odd let of animals. Mr. Cassatt, who was wider flre at the first session was nn unruffled creature who .did nnt. mini! tinklm? si bit. He ad mitted that he had sold Jersey Central " short " for a prellt, when lie heard of Dlnsmore's suit ; but declared he had nothing te de with bringing it. Mr. Gewen's point is that the I'eutisj 1 vnnla railroad people are the real ins' 1. gaters of tlte proceeding against the lease, Dinsmere being uieir iiuumij -and quite dumb Indeed does he seem te be, knowing nothing about the business of the company or even Ids own. He appeared yesterday en exhibition, and can hardly congralulnte himself en the appearance he made. Apparently lie Is of the class of men who deem them selves very sacred ; a swelled up sort of a creature, who. when prodded by Gewen's pole, was speechless with indig nation at the liberty. He declared that he would net take less than a million dollars a share for his stock and would net abandon his proceeding against the lease though the dividends en Ills stock were guaranteed him. H was net te be bought except for a million. This high priced donkey was succeed ed en the stand by Mr. William L. .Scott of Erie, In our own sta'e, who has been a speculator in stocks and thlug3 all his life and get very rich by it. He was one of C.issatt's associates in the bear raid In Jersey, but he felt greatly ag grieved that Mr. Gewen had charged him with being one of the instigators of the suit against the lease. He said he had sold Jersey short because lie knew it was going te be worthless under Mr. Gewen's management. Evidently Mr. Scott was very mad. He is a very nervous and excitable Individual at all times, and it Is a great wonder that he Is still alive, in view of the nervous strain and exhaustion which are his con s'ant experience. In this case no doubt, Mr. Gewen get the thing wrong when he accused Cassatt and Scott of having any further Intention In their short sales of Central than te make a profitable turn in the stock. Neither of them care siilllci ently for anyone t ls-e te pull their chest nuts het out of the lire for them. Hut Mr. Scott should have taken the matter mere coolly. It don't help a man te exhibit himself in a raving state of madness It was net polite in Mr. Scott te say tu Mr. Gewen that lie was a slan dereraiid railroad wrecker and that the Jersey read would be worthless under his management, and 'it was net true either; nor could Mr. Scott have really believed what he said, since he admitted giving Mr. Vanderbllt Ins proxy en 20,. OOOsharesef stock in the Heading te vete for Mr. Gewen after the latter had done all the railroad wrecking of which he can be accused. Mr. Scott says he is ashamed new that he did this ; and lie has poed reason te be if lie really be lieved what he new declares in his pas Blen. Mr. Scott should cultivate mere calmness of spirit, coldness of language and justness of judgment. Segletting the Law. Attorney General .Cassidy has Liken the sinking fund commission iute court ou a demand that it shall be re quired te comply with the law requiring the investment of the state funds in Interest bearing securities of the gev eminent. At present the state treasurer gets the benefit of this interest for him self and his party, tlie shallow excuse under which the law Is evaded being that the Immediate investment of all the moneys would be injudicious, and would unduly raise the market price of the bends te be bought. Hut even if this was be the comnilFs'en has no discretion in the matter under Un law, which makes its commands iu positive terms. It Is u matter of course that the court will compel them te de what they are bidden te de j and they In fact have rendered them selves Individually liable, also, for uny less the state may duffer by their failure te promptly execute the law. The people will note the reluctance of the Hepubllcan partj's representatives iu the state efllcers as well as the state Senate, te obey the law ; and It will net be well for the party. Wronging the Laber Interests. The failure of a Republican Senate te apportion the state in obedience te the constitutional limmliite will fall heavily upon a class of cltizans who have done mero probably than any ether te estub list) for Pennsylvania the splendid repu tatien as au Industrial centre which she has long enjoyed among her sister state?. The great coal and iron manufacturing districts of Allegheny, Fayette, Clear field, Dauphin, Ltizerue and Lucknwan im counties would gain under a new apportionment seven or eight luembeis, and the importance of the interests represented by these counties te the material development of the resources of the state Justly entitles them te Increased representation. On the ether hand, it is seen that' agricultural counties like Erie, Crawford, Venango, Franklin and Hucks, which have net kept pace In growth with some of tbelr neighbors, will, under a redlstrictlng, each lese a member, u v Tliese are frozen faets. which the work ing clns3es of the state will doubtless dt ep ly ponder ns the day draws near when It becomes necessary te choe3o between the two p irtles. Th no who go down Inte the mine, exposed te the deadly fire damp and countless ether ills, as well as these who labor In the forge and ma chlne shop, stand nnre in need of Just representation in the legislative halls than perhapiuny ethr class of citizens. Conflicts are constantly arising between these horny handed toilers and the capital that employs them, and If labor cannot have Its representative voice, it becomes an undisciplined mob, at the mercy of Its stronger and craftier oppe nent. It is, therefore, the duty of the laboring classes, who are denied their just rights, te rebuke the arrogant at tempt of a clique of stalwart bosses, who fear the growing influence of this ele ment of the population te deny them that te which they are constitutionally ' ... , 001111111.

It Is hotter that two hbeuid suffer through life than that tee easy a deer should be opened for these led by passion or desiring license.
