LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE! SA'ITKDAY. OCTOHK1. 27. 1WH. Lancaster friitrllignircr. HATURDAV 16VENINQ, OCT. 27, 1083, The Itiulread .Suit.' The contest In the Jersey courtnever tlie Jersey Central lease leeks) iw though It was te be a general engagement be tween the retinsylvnnlii anil tlie Head Ing rnllrends, and thelr rcspucti ve eillcers aad attorneys. Things nre getting very warm nlready, The two leading counsel, Messrs. Oewen anil Cenkllng, ile net get along together any better than the corporations they represent. Mr. Cenk ling Is se nccustemed te be the cock el any thing hill he happens te be tramping that he seems te be unable te ncconnne date himself te the society of anethei who also Is used te bslng cock of the walk. Mr. Cenkllng has long been noted for the oiTetialvenessef his strut; and has wen the name of the t urkey gobbler. A man of great ability and of geed iuten Hen?, nnd most amiable te his friends and followers, he lias tee much self esteem and confidence te be gracious te opponents. He has ceme across, in this Inquiry, a witness whose testimony is I most damaging te ins cuenis ; aim eat urally Mr. Cenkllng undertakes te brew beat nnd abuse him. Of course he exceeded his privilege us counsel and Mr. Gewcn Bought te protect his witness. The two counsel came in violent colli sion, as was te be expected ; for Mr. Gewcn is a bad man te attempt te ride ever rough shed, In Mr. Cenkllng's favorite manner. The war, however, was but ene of words, Mr. Gewen beit g the victor because he was certainly rigl t in defending his witness ; he is quite the equal of Mr. Cenkllng In combat I vents? and self esteem, and his superior in judgment and self control. The respective counsel seem te le aulllcleiitly aroused te rip open the bowels ' of each ether's eases if net their own; and perhaps before they are through the Heading and I'ennslv.inia railroad com panies may be turned Inside out ; the proceeding is ostensibly te annul a lease made In the Heading, but the Inquiry Just new seems te be as te the integrity of the Pennsylvania railroad management. It is net easy te see hew this can legitimately come within the scope of the investiga tion ; or hew K will affcet the lease of a railroad te the Heading railroad te prove that the l'ennsvlv.inia railroad gives Ilerwlnd, White A. Ce. or the Standard oil company lower rates of freight than It gives te ethers in the coal or oil trade. And if these matters can be inquire J into there u neapp.mut reason why any transaction of the Penn sylvania or Heading nny net be in quired into. Mr. Gewen laid his ground by proving that the two railroads were rivals and that the less of the Central leise would crush the Heading as a rival ; he alms te prove that the Peunsjlvania railroad is the active party in assailing tlie lease. Hut even ir this be se, the diawbacka inquiry deei net speni te be pertinent te the issue. The public, however, have no reason te complain at the irregularity of the enlightenment they net. Thedis coveiyef any injustice in the manage ment et either of there srtat corpora tions ill be a benefit te the people, and they can bid the contestants in this suit, with hearty geed will, te discover all they knew or can llnd out about each ether. The savage onslaught by Mr. Gewen shows that he has no quarter te give or take, and if the Pennsilvauii is guided in its course by Mr. Conkling it is cprtnln that it will net ask or offer It. There is evidently te be a lirst-clnss conflict in which old sores are te be opened and new wounds made, and the fight thus started is te go en until one party Is overcome Tii public will nap the advantage. The Unnecessary Surplus. The two calls for .'! per cent, bend.-, the second of which matures December 15, it has been ascertained, will contract the bank note circulation of the country te the extent of $U,000 oeo, unless some ether mere costly bends be substituted for these which have been called This evil is the direct result of the tee rapid payment of the national debt, ami its remote consequences may be the de rangement et tlie currency and the causing of much llnaiiclal trouble. It has ever been the Hepublic.in policy te maintain the enormous and unnecessary internal revenue taxation which lias brought about this embarrassing state of affairs, and .Jehn Stewart, the con fesseil leader of the lilaiue movement in this state, sounded the keymte of the party's action in next year's nitienal campaign, in his recent utterance in this city, favoring thu distribution of the surplus revenue among the indigent states. The Democracy, en thu ether hand, would cut down the taxej te the necessities of the g ivernuieut byabil ishlng the internal revenue, which was devised only as a war measure ami which is about equal te the annual surplus. That party, ever mindful of the interest of the people, e insiders that it is batter te leave the hard earned money in the pockets of the taxpayers than te accuiu ulate an enormous surplus as a tempta tion te government robbers, and that it Is the wiser policy te payoff the public debt by slew stages rather than cans- financial distress by an uncalled for haste in its liquidation. Tins assurances of Cooper that IIet will apeak at Wilkesb.trre, are ground less. He will 'net, apeak, because if lie were te de se lie would skin the Cameren dynasty and Cooper had enough of that when Stewart proclaimed that Hepubll e.in success this year mount the nomi nation te the presidency of Ulutiie, whom the Cumorens have twice cheated out of the presidential nomination. Ne, brethren, ox-Governer Ileyt will net sneak for Nilea and Livsey. Judek KKM,r is te make a speech for tlie Hepubllcans in Philadelphia, In which he will advocate the-doctrine of the Daruecratic platform, the repeal of the internal revenue tax, while at thu sumo time Jehn Stewart and "Wharten liarker declare that the success of the Itepubllcans In Pennsylvania this fall means the maintenance of the Internal revenue tax, te rates ?13r,000,000need- Icsa supplies for :i " ittvhle " nmeng the slntcs. ' JrsTtci: Haui.an, of the supieme court, declines te be considered n candi date for the presidency. Justice Harlan probably would net get the tietninuth n if he was a candidate ; but et It Is very proper for him net te wish te Le a candidate. Ne one should er be elevated from the bench te a political efllce ; and particularly Is it objectionable te consider members of the highest com t as presidential candi dates Justice Field Is known te be am bilious of this preferment. Te secure It, or a chance for It, he needs te resign from the bench. The Democratic cor cer cor ventlen will consider his judicial robes is a positive bar te a political candidacy. The politician wle Is put upon the bench should consider himself te bete moved from the political Held as ubs i lately as the nun Is taken from Hie world In putting en the veil. Twe New Yerk musician, Uauip.tuuii and Vianesi have had a disagreement. It is thought that thu vituperation will net go further th.iuealhug each ether ".sharps" ami ' lilts." Gewux and Cenkliug bandying the epithets " blackguard '" and "scoundrel " in a court loom is net a very edifying sight for the country te beheld. A small dese of imprisonment for contempt of court might re oil these gentlemen te n sense of propriety which they have app.tr ently forget.
