This is nice reading for the people of is the State whose interests depend on the | construction of the South Penn. road. | Every man who has read or heard of the great “deal” will smile as be read® the following : Fhe great purpose had in view by the | high contracting parties, has been sul stantially accomplished as far ¢ it could be practically accomplished, by the contract of sale, the su pension of the South Pennsylvania work, and the with drawl of the heaviest capitalists in the enterprise; and any dec wion of the Court will neither hinder nor help the construction of the South Pennsylvania’ “The great purpose had in view by the high contracting parties’ was th. crushing oul of a rival and eompelit That has heen 1 of he Pennsylvania, accomplished has it? Well “not the Court knows herselll’ The Time has been aiding aad abetting the deal and it sympathies have not been con cenled. Again, how is this : “The greatest possible danger to the South Pennsylvania now, since the withdrawl of the Vanderbilt combina. tion, would be in the Pennsylvania stepping down aad out, “Gio abead,” Just think of our darliog company the “Pensy,” for we all love stepping down aud out of her own vo lition.” She did step down and out per curiam. The South Peunsylvania will : and saying her, be built and a greater than the Penn | sylvania will say “go ahead”. The necessities of trade will command the building of that road. * Whoop her up” for the people. The Constitution Inviolate. | | Judges, Simonton and McPherson have rendered their decisions in the | South Penn and Beech Creek Railroad | cases, and the majesty of the law has been vindicated. The opinion of the Dauphin County Judges has been | long and anxiously looked for by the people of Pennsylvania, as the great interests of the State hung trembling in the balance, and an adverse opinion would have effected injuriously the in- dustrial progress ol those sections of the State through which two great ang competing lives of railroad are build in the constitution ing.

Broruea Trout in comm nting on the appointment of Belmont to Gov. 1 Cuartin’s old committee, says: “Mor. rison and Bayard used Carlisle as a tool and Curtin was left.” This is a very reckless statement and one that would not be borne out by the facts, Whatever considerations induced Mr. | Carlisle “to remove Governor Curtin | from his old committee one thing is | tool of any man. Mr. Carlisle is per- haps the ablest man in the American Congress torday, and is not warped by the prejudices, or swayed by the im. portunities of would-be leaders, No man stands higher in his party or be: | fore the people of the country than does Mr. Carlisle, and no friends can be made for Gov, Curtin by nssailing the speaker.
