Ox Saturday last, Col. Thomas A.
Scott sent in his resignation as presi
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad
company to the board of directors of
that corporation, to take effect on the
Ist day of June next. It is said this
action on the part of Col. Scott creat
ed but little surprise for the reason
that it was understood the state of his
health might soon render it necessary
for him to retire from active partici
pation in the business of the company.
In taking this step he has acted solely
under the advice of his physicians.
It is supposed that the succossor of
Col. Scott will be George 13. Roberts,
at present Ist Vice President of the
company. The following is the letter
of resignation:
PHILADELPHIA, May 1, 1880. —To the
Hoard oj Directors oj the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company —GENTLEMEN: After a
service of nearly thirty year* with the
company I find it necesary to tender my
resignation as iu president and as one of
iUdirector*, to take effect June 1. I do this
only becauae I am asaured by my phyai
ciam that it i* inditpenaible to a ponaible
restoration of my health that I should be
released from the cares and reeponsibilitie*
inseparable from tho position. I hud
hoped to continue in the service of thn
company during the residue of my life.
Under tho advice referred to, this is no
longer practicable. It has not been with
out much careful thought that I have
reached this conclusion as the one best not
only for myself, but for tho Interests of the
company, as I feel that the duties of your
chief executive can only be properly per
formed by one in thoroughly strong health
and able himself' to act promptly and effi
ciently in all emergencies that may arise.
I need not say with what keen regret I
sever relations which have extended
through nearly two-thirds of my life and I
which havo associated with them the most '
gratifying recollections of faithful support
and adherence to the interesu of the com- i
pany on the part of those in every depart
ment of service with whom I have been
officially or otherwise connected.
In resigning the trust with whirl, the
shareholders and board have honored me,
I feel sure that tho property will be safely
and wisely administered by those who may
be my successors, and I can only add that
with its present high standard, both physi
cally ana financially, a faithful adherence
to the conservative policy set forth in your
last annual report, will in my judgment
bring about results that cannot but be sat
isfactory to the management and gratify
ing to the shareholders. If I can aid at
any time to advance such results it will
give me very great pleasure to do so. I
beg to return my thanks to each and
every member of thn board, and to the
officers and employes of the company for
the earnest and kindly support which I
have received from them in the perform
ance of duties that have devolved upon me.
Very respectfully yours,
THOMAS A. SOTT.

HARRISBURG CONVENTION
THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
A SOLID I'LATKOKM FOR DEMOCRATS TO
STAND UPON.
HON. GEORGE A. JKNKH FOR SU
PREME JUDGE.
COL. ROBERT P. DECHERT FOR
AUDITOR GENERAL.
llakuisuiro, April 2'J.—The Demo
cratic Convention was called to order
this morning at 0:30 o'clock. The
special committee on credentials short
ly appeared and mado their report
through Mr. Dill. The committee re
ported that their decisions had been
arrived at unanimously in each esse
and that in the case of the contest in
Philadelphia, while the Vaux delega
tion is admitted, the McGowen dele
gates were regularly elected under the
established rules oi the parly ; yet for
the sake of having a united party in
Philadelphia both sides were anxious
to secure liartnooy and concerted ac
tion. The committee will therefore
meet in Philadelphia at some future
day and make such rules for the organi
zation of the Democrats in Philadelphia
as in their judgment may be deemed
necessary. They will determine what
the regular organization shall be and
how it is to be made up. Each delega
tion is to be admitted to seats in this
convention and each delegate to cast
one half of one vote through its chair
man. The report was then adopted
and tho toll of delegates was called.
The names of district delegates to Cin
cinnati, as decided upon by the special
committee, are as follows:
First District —George McGowan, Dal
las Sanders.
Second District —John R. Reed, Robert
P. Dec her t.
Third District —Thomas J. Barger, *\Vil
iliam McMullon.
Fourth District —Henry S. Donaghue,
Samuel Josephs.
Fifth District —Frederick Verkes, Ed
ward H. Floar.
At the conclusion of roll call Hon. R.
E. Monaghan nominated Hon. A. 11.
Dill for temporary chairman, and that
gentleman was unanimously chosen for
the position. Mr. Dill, on taking the
chair, merely expressed his thanks for
the honor.
It was resolved that the order of buai
ness should be as follows: Appoint
ment of committees on organization and
resolutions—all resolutions to bo refer
red to the lattei without debate; elec
tion of delegates at large and of electors
at large; nominations for Judge of the
Supreme Court and Auditor General,
and the appointment of representative
delegates, electors and members of tho
State central committee.
Tho committee on organization and
resolutions were then named and tho
latter given permission to retire.
When the committee had retired
Hon. W. 1,. Scott, of Erie, nominated
for permanent chairman of the con
vention lion. Robert E. Monaghan, of
Chester.
Hon. R. M. Sj>eer seconded the nomi
nation and Mr. Monaghan was unani
mously elected. Hons. W. 1.. Scott and
R. M. Speer escorted Mr. Monaghan to
the chair. Ho was loudly applauded
and spoke as follows :
tientlemen of the Convention: I don't
know how to express my thanks adequate
ly to you for this inanife-tation of your
confidence and choice.
Four yarn g>> you conferred upm mo a
oiiniUr distinction to preside over the con
vention in the city or Lancaster. I tried
upon that occasion to fulllll my duti<-
tiruily, justly and with impartiality. Upon
that occasion you selected a delegation to
the national convention, at the city of
St. Loui*. You went there by your
representation, and you nominated two
eminently distinguished statesmen of this
country [applause], a ho, coon after that,
at the general election were Elected
[applause] by a large popular majority of j
the American people, and a decided major- j
ity of the electoral votes of this country, j
[Grpat applause]. By fraud they were
prevented from esercising the duties of '
thorn offices. But the democracy of this !
country, true to it, and to its every inter- '
est, rose in their patriotism above place, |
ami for the sake of pence and prosperity in
thi land, yielded to fraud that which he- i
longed to them in honor and in honesty? |
[Great applause].
But the past i gone. It is for you to i
deal with the present and the future! You
have commenced your work in jx-ace, jus
tice and conciliation towards each other.
You will to-day through this convention
equal to any convention that ever I liave
s en meet, in intellect nnd character—you
send a delegation to another western city
—a western citv in which, tit years ago,
convened a national convention that did
nominate two distinguished gentlemen for
these offices, who were triumphantly elect
ed, and did serve the people, and serve
them well. [Applause].
Your conciliations here have convinced
the and convinced the country that the
delegaUon you shall send to Cincinnati in
1880 will again select two distinguished
statesmen of this country, who will repre
j sent the great Interests of all Its sections,
and I believe that this peace you have
started here will certainly secure the elec
tion of those two gentlemen in November I
[Vociferous applause], and I speak it now
with my thoughfr dwelling upon the open
ing future; ttudflfctbe democracy of this
country shall ewWthose gentlemen to the
offices for which tbey shall be selected, they
muet and they nhriH he inmiyu rated /
[Great applause]. And when tbey have
been, they Will administer the duties of
those offices without fear, favor or affec
tion from any quarter. [Renewed ap
plause].
Thanking you again, gentlemen, for the
honor conferred upon me, the convention
ia now ready for any business you have to
present
The committee on resolutions now
appeared, and through Mr. Krmcntrout
submitted the resolutions adopted by
the majority of the committee. The
only objection raised to the report of
the committee was upon the 12th reso
lution which favored the adoption of
the unit rule. After considerable dis
cussion a vole was reached and the
unit rule declared defeated. The re
port of the committee, except as to the
unit rule, was then adoptd, as follows t
RBSOMTIOIt*.
Remlved, First That we the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania, in convention as
sembled, renew our vows of fidelity to the
fundamental principles proclaimed and
pracllcod by the Illustrious men who fettled
our free institution* and founded the Dem
ocratic party to protect and preserve them.
Hecond. That the just power* of the
Federal Union, the rights of tho States
and the liberties of the people, are vital
parts of one harmonious system ; and to
savu each part in its whole constitutional
vigor is to "save the life of tho nation."
Third. That the Democratic party main
tain, us it ever has maintained, lliat the
military arc, and ought to be, in all things
subordinate to the civil authorities. It
denies, HS it ever has denied, tho right
of the Federal administration to keep on
foot, at the general expense, a standing
army to invade the .Statu for politicul pur
poses, without regard to constitutional
restrictions, to control the people ut tho
polls, to protect and encourage fraudulent
counts of votes, or to inaugurate candidates
rejected hy the majority.
Fourth. That the right to a full ballot is
tho right preservative of all rights; the
only means of peacefully redressing griev
ances and reforming abuses. The presence
at the polls of a regular military force,
and of a host of hireling officials, claiming
tho power to arrest and imprison citizens
without warrant er hearing, destroys all
freedom of election#, and upturns the very
foundation of self-government. We call
upon all good citizens to aid us in preserv
ing our institutions from destruction by
these imperial methods of supervising tho
right of suffrage and coercing the popular
will in keeping the way to the ballot box
open and free, as it was to our fathers, in'
removing tho ariny to a safe distance when
the people assemble to express their sover
eign pleasure at the polls, and In securing
obedience to their will, when legally ex
pressed by their votes.
Fifth. That Rutherford B. Hayes, hav
ing been placed in power against the well
known and legally expressed will of the
people, is the representative of a conspira
cy only, and his claim of right to surround
tho ballot boxes with troops and deputy
marshals to intimidate and obstruct the
electors, and his unprecedented use of the
veto to maintain this unconstitutional and
despotic power, are an insult and a menace
to the country.
Sixth. That the Democratic party, as of
old, favors a constitutional currency of
gold und silver, and of paper convertible
into coin.
Seventh. That we are opposed to the
system of subsidies by tho general govern
ment under which, during the period of
Republican ascendency, political rings and
corporations profited at tho people's ex
pense, and to any appropriations of the
public moneys or the public credit to any
object hut the public service. The reforms
and economies enforced by the Detnocrstic
party, since it# advent to power in Con
gress, have saved to the people many mil
lions of dollars, and we believe that a like
result would follow it* restoration to j>ower
in tho State of I'ennsyl vania.
Eighth. That the Democratic party being
the natural friend of the workingrnan, and
having, through it# history, stood between
him ami oppression, renew* its expression
of sympathy for labor and its promise of
protection to it# rights.
Ninth. That we look with alarm and
apprehension upon the pretensions of the
great transportation companies to be above
the fundamental law of this commonwealth
which govern# all else within our borders,
and until they accept tho constitution of
1873 in good faith, they should remain
objects of the utmost vigilance and jeal
ousy hy both legislature and people.
Tenth. That the recent attempt under
the personal direction of ruling Republi
can leaders to debauch the legislature by
wholesale bribery and corruption (and
take from the common wealth four millions
of dollars, for which its liability had
never been ascertained, Is a fresh and
alarming evidence of the aggres-iveness of
|ili!ical ring*), and should receive the
signal condemnation of the people at the
polls.-
Eleventh. That the great fraud of 1876-
77, hy which, upon a false count of tho
electoral votes of these States, the candidate
defeated at the polls wa seated in the
Presidential chair, and for the first lime
in American history, tho will of the peo
ple was set aside, under a threat of milita
ry force, was the most deadly blow ever
aimed at our system of representative
government. To preserve the country
from the horrors of a second civil war, the
Democratic parly submitted for the time,
in firm and patriotic faith that the people
would peacefully redress the great wrong
and signally rebuke the dark crime when
they should come to vote in 1880. "That
issue precede# and dwarfs every other. It
in.pose* a more sacred duty upon the peo
ple of the Union than ever addressed the
consciences of a nation of freemen."
Twelfth. That ihi# convention is oppos
ed to the abrogation of the two-thirds
rule in the national convention of the
Democratic party.
The selection of four delegates at
large to the national convention was
next in order.
Mr. Vaux named Hons. W. H. Sten
ger, of Franklin, and W. L. Scott, of
Krie.
Mr. T. J. Rarger, of Philadelphia,
named Hons. Lewis C. Caasidy, of Phil
adelphio, and R. Milton Speer, of Hun
tingdon.
There being no others named those
gentlemen were declared the choice of
tho convention for delegates at large.
For electors at large lions. Robert K.
Monaghan, of Chester, and W. H. Play
ford, ot Fayette, were named.
A delegate then named Mr. James P.
Barr, of Pittsburg. Mr. Monaghan
attempted to withdraw, but he was not
permitted to do so, and was unanimous
ly elected.
The ayea and nays were then called
for the remaining elector at large, and
Mr. Play ford was elected by a vote of
133 to 110 L
The following named gentlemen were
placed in nomination for the Supreme
Ilench : Hons. Geo. A. Jenks, of Jeffer
son, Pearson Church, Crawford, E. J.
Fox, Northampton, James Bredin, But
ler. The vote as announced stood:
Jenks 187 | Bredin 6
The chair announced that Hon. Geo.
A. Jenks, of Jefferson is the nomine*
of the Democratic jWty for Mupreme
Judge.
Mr. Robert A. Packer, of Bradford,
then placed the name of Edwara
Uerrick, Esq., of Bradford county, in
nomination for Auditor General.
Mr. Richard Vaux nominated Col. R.
P. Dechert, of Philadelphia. The roll
was called and the votes stood:
Dechert IMI
Herrick ggj
Mr. James, of Northampton, said
that HA a fitting clone to the work of
peace and harmony, he moved that
Hon. Andrew 11. Dill be named as the
chairman of the Mute committee. Mr.
Dill was elected by acclamation.
Hon. W. L. Mcott, of Krie, proposed
Mr. George Rosa, of Bucka, for member
of tho National executive committee,
but Mr. Rosa protested that that selec
tion should bo made by the delegation
to Cincinnati. Mr. Mcott then moved
that the name of Mr. Roas be recom
mended for member of the National
committee hut the convention refused
to entertain the motion.
After the chairman bad requested
that the natnea of the State committee
tie handed in to the aecretaries, the
convention adjourned sine die.

the delegates to the National Conven
tion and of lite Presidential electora

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
From oar regular CofTpo©d*lit.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 3, 1880.
The problem of the Republican can
didacy for President, or rather the
query, Who will be nominated at
Chicago? excites much more interest
and discussion here this year than the
same conundrum in 1870. Then the
question was narrowed down to the one
point, Who will beat Blaine? for every
one fell that, of the names prominently
mentioned, his was the only one with
the slightest prospect of success before
the convention, and so confident was
Mr. Blaine of this, that when asked
"Of whom have you the most fear?"
his reply was, " The Groat Unknown."
The result showed the soundness of bis
judgment, for Mr. Hayes had no follow
ing, and his nomination at Cincinnati
was simply due to the combination of
the influences adverse to Mr. Blaine.
We venture to say that not twelve of
the Ohio delegates had, at the time the
fourth ballot was tsken, the slightest
idea of being aide to secure for Mr.
Hayes more than the Vice-presidency.
For instance, Mr. Noyes, who made the
eloquent nominating speech for Mr.
Hayes, si* weeks prior thereto, while
visiting here, expressed himself to that
effect. Now, however, the dark horse
seems eliminated from the Republican
contest, and the eager expectant follow
era are discussing only the triangular
fight involved in the contest ot Grant,
Blaine aud .Sherman, The "Great Un
known " casts no shadow on the pros
peels of either candidal*. The Demo
crats are also deeply interested, as their
own course will he shaped u|>on that
of the Republicans, and they are en
joying the hitter fight which is grow
ing into large proportions in the Repub
lican camp. They claim that their own
discipline will prove sufficient to pre
vent all discordant effects, no matter
whom they nominate at Cincinnati;
hence, looking at the actions of both
political parties, we are led to speak as
above of the intense interest msnifest
ed here over the action of the Chicago
Convention. Our own impression i\ as
a deduction from intercourse with all
sides here, that Mr. Blaine will find all
his opposing elements in combination
against hlra, and that he will fail of
nomination just as Henry Clay repeat
edly came short of election. Could he
Sraonally bring to bear upon the
nveution three characteristics which
have made him a power and leader
in Congress, he might succeed; as
matters stand he will fail. The two
thirds rule bars the expression of confi
dence as to the successful Democratic
candidate at Cincinnati, though Mr.
Tilden's name elicits much pro and con
comment just at this time, though not
to the extent of causiog animosity. It
is unlikely that anv change will bo
made in the law regulating the electorsl
count. Wo have found a general de
sire among the Democrat* to let the
present statute remain, without amend
ment, inasmuch as they control both
houses, and should thereby be able to
provide for all possible emergencies.
The result of the recent caucus of Men
store is in corroboration of this view, as
it agreed upon no other basis. It
would b* idle to attempt a change now,
for the House would not entertain any
proposition looking toward it.
Toe Kellogg matter promise* to pro
voke extended debate in the Senate, ae
it involves some serious questions. One
of these is that of the alleged compact
under which be was admitted his seat.
This allegation U both stoutly asserted
and denied, and may prove a turning
point in the final vol*. The course
which Senator Thuruiun will fmrsue i
watched with much intercut, for the
final vote will be determined by the
position ho takes for or against Mr.
Kellogg in the diacusaion. The inev
itable Indian question baa canted a
temporary suspension of the debate.
AH in antebellum times the aubject of
alavery overshadowed all other ques
tioriH, MO now the mention of the Indian
in aure to cause a speech or controversy"
from more or lend of our legndatorH, UH
well OH the suspension of other business
for the purpone. Hut HO much depend*
on the retention or unHeatiog of Mr.
Kellogg, that the subject mutt, sooner
or later, be ventilated and disponed of.
It is -gratifying to us to note the
change of feeling toward the District of
Columbia on the part of the House.
Now we are honored with a separate
appropriation bill, which was most cour
teouidy treated, instead of having our
needs stuck in one corner of the regular
appropriation bill by the Ways and
Means Committee, where it became the
recipient of as many kicks and cuffs as
Nicholas Niokleby got from the Squeers
family. This new departure indicates
that we are to have, in the future, an
unquestioned recognition of our rights
in connection with the Government.
We do not ask for suffrage, but we do
claim that, inasmuch as the Govern
m< lit holds one-half the really of the
District, it should place itself on the
same basis of taxation and expenditure
that we occupy. This is only equitable,
and now (hat it is assured, we are happy.
The House devoted an evening ot the
week to the Pension Court bill, snd the
opening speech upon it by Mr. Geddes,
of Ohio, was a masterly effort in its ex
position of the necessity for a judicial
tribunal to determine the rights of sol
diers and their heirs to pension, where
their claims thereto have been rejected
by the Pension Office. It is physically
irii|>Onible, be showed, for Congress to
attempt giving the proper redress, and,
as it would be impolitic to entrust the
Pension Office with further judicial pow
ers than is now given it, a properly con
stituted Court of Pensions has become
an imperative national necessity. Of
course, the bill aroused a protracted
colloquy—hardly debate, for no adverse
arguments were offered to it. Its neces
sity was questioned, but the interroga
tors seemed to be more actuated by a
desire to obtain information thsn to
antagonize any measure calculated to
relieve the House of its pension burdens,
and to give relief to sach claimants as
are justly entitled to pensions. FEU v.

Why the School.Warrants are Not I'ald.
The Slate Convention of School Sup
eriniendents adjourned sine die at noon
on Thursday. In response to a request,
State Treasurer Noye# addressed the
convention on the subject of the school
fund, lie said the funds which come
into the State Treasury are consumed
a* fast a* they are received by the
demand* of charitable institutions and
by the Adjutant General. These de
mands are urgent and cannot be resist
ed. The Adjutant General is compelled
to organize the military forces of the
State, and in order to do so must have
his appropriations. There are monthly
balances in the general fund, but these
aro constantly required to defray cur
rent expenses of the State Government.
Some of this balance bad been used to
pay school warrants and the State
Treasurer would be glad to use more of
it, if such a thing were |>o**ible. He
hoped it would not be long before the
warrants would be paid. Professor
Wickershatn made a short nddrea*. ac
knowledging the ability and truthful*
nes* of the Slate Treasurer, after which
the Committee on Resolution* reported,
