Towanda, Thursday, November 8, 1866. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. [The timely suggestions contained in the follow ing article, which we copy from the PiUsbttr.j Ga zette, are of peculiar importance in view of the ap proaching election of U.S. Senator, and will meet the hearty concurrence of every Republican :] It is a fundamental principle of popular government that the Representative -shall obey the will of his constituents. Of course, there are limitations to this rule. There are things which no man or aggregation of men have a right to do. What, therefore, a Constituency would incur guilt in per forming directly, they are not at liberty to require at the hands of a Representative, nor is a Representative at liberty to com ply with such a requirement from his con stituents, no matter how complete unanim ity may exist among them. Neither PILATE nor the Hebrew Sanhedrim stand excused in history for the crucifixion of Christ be cause the populace demanded the execution. A time was in the history of this country when men holding Representative positions were freely allowed to follow normal meth ods for ascertaining the popular will. It was not less their interest than their duty to scan all manifestations of prevalent opinion ; to determine whether a given pop ular conception was founded on fact or fic tion ; was likely to be temporary or abid ing ; if compliance with it would be hurtful or beneficial; and upon all the aspects pre sented to frame their judgment and act up on it. If they misjudged the popular mind, or, judging it correctly, felt bound to resist it, they prepared to take the consequences when their term expired and an appeal to the people at the ballot-boxes became in evitable. Since then various expedients have been devised to enable cliques of politicians to control the action of Representative men on all public questions. The scheme is to so strip them of their essential character as to make them automatons in the hands of leaders of faction. In this scheme the Representative incurs all the responsibili ty, and the heads of faction, standing be hiud him, have all the power. This is the meaning of much of the machinery with which all parties have become encumbered. Let us give a definite illustration of what we meau. State and County Conventions were devised as convenient iustrumeutali- ties for calling nominating and other Con ventions and prosecuting the other legiti mate labors of a canvass. So far these in strumentalities are well. But what would be said if certain intriguers should seri ously propose to convene the Republican State Central Committee.in special session, to determine what individual the Senators and Representatives chosen under the Con stitution and Laws, shall make United States Senator next January? Surely, it would be felt that this was intruding an irresponsible and extra-legal body into the province of one ordained by the Constitu tion and selected under the due operation of the laws. The impertinence would be promptly rebuked as an insidious attempt to overthrow representative government and introduce the domination of cabals. , In some of the counties of this Common wealth preparation* are making for the in auguration of such a scheme. At least the germs of it are conspicuous. County Com mittees are claiming authority to dictate for whom Senators and Representatives, in their places, in the two Houses,"shall vote to fill the seat soon to be vacated by Mr. COWAN ; or, if they do not make the claim in their own behalf, it is made for them, by politicians who think they would be able to control the action in the matter. In other instances, it is proposed to go behind the County Committees, and insti tute popular elections,under what is known as the Crawford County system, to decide how Senators and Representatives shall vote when they get into their seats in the Capitol at Ilarrisburg. Of course, the con coctors of this scheme have definite ideas of their own to serve, and Jiope to manipu late these informal elections so as to carry their points. Our deep conviction is that it is wiser and better to have less party machinery rather than more. Especially do we pro test against all plans for taking responsi bilities out of the hands of the agents le gally appointed. It borders upon insanity to have public business virtually perform ed by agents unknown to the laws. In selecting Senators and Representatives the people ought to take men who know and are known; who have at least sense enough to be enlightened as to their duties by such methods as the laws provide.: and who will act conscientiously and intelli gently, no matter what demagogues may devise or command. If a member of the Legislature cannot tell whom he had best vote for as United States Senator without the help of certain appliances now propos ed, be made a great mistake, in consenting to take the office, and his constituents a greater one in lifting him out of the com mon ranks. The members of the Legislature have this duty laid on them next winter. It is laid on them, and not on managers of coun ty politics. If they are incompetent to the task, they had best resign and let fresh elections be held. If they feel able to dis charge the duty in a proper manner, as we doubt not they do, then for the sake of their own dignity and for the honor due to our representative system, let them treat with contempt all endeavors to remove the election of a United States Senator from the capitol of the Commonwealth to the caucusses of cabals in the respective coun ties. resting place of the Union sol diers, who died during the rebellion, are to be marked hereafter with cast iron head blocks instead of the wooden ones, as at preasut in the various national cemeteries. The name, number, &c., of each soldier are y> be cast in raised letters. MEXICO. The reign of MAXIMILIAN in Mexico seems to be rapidly drawing to a close. There are reports of fresh victories by the liberal army over the Imperial forces, and from Europe it is stated that the expectation is stron that MAXIMILIAN will return to Europe in the war steamer sent out by the Emper or of Austria. Twenty French war steam ers, it is also said, will sail for Mexico some time in November, for tin: purpose of conveying home the French troops. Gen. SHERIDAN, in command of the south- j west, has recently written a letter to Gen. j Sedgwick, who commands the United States forces on the Rio Grande, v. hich indicates that our Government intends to aid the au thorities of Mexico in restoring order and preserving peace in that country. He ad vises him, as the only way of improving the condition of affairs, that we are to " give our heartiest support to the only Government in Mexico which is recognized by our own " —that of JUAREZ —and lie in structs him to notify all adherents of any party, or pretended government, in Mexico, that they " will not be permitted to violate the neutrality laws between the Liberal Government of Mexico and our own," to re main on our soil and prepare for such vio lations. The New York Times of Tuesday last, a paper which is likely to be well informed in regard to what is going on at the State Department, at Washington, says : " Our Washington correspondent informs us that Minister Campbell has received his in structions, and will forthwith proceed to his post as our representative in Mexico. It is now agreed that the French troops will soon be withdrawn, MAXIMILIAN, of course, going with them ; that the United States recognize the JUAREZ Government, and undertake to support it, if such con tingency shall become necessary ; that, in consideration thereof, Mexico will cede to the United States a large portion of the territory of Chihuahua, and nearly the whole of Sonora, and all of Lower Califor nia. The line is not fixed, further than that it is to run from the Rio Grande, some where near El Paso, directly to the Gulf of Cal iforuia, so as to include on our side the important port of Guaymas. By this ces sion we gain new and practicable routes to the Pacific, secure the entire control of the Gulf of California and extend our di rect sea-coast line on the Pacific from San Diego to Cape St. Lucas, about a thousaud miles. The details of tiiis highly import ant arrangement will be looked for with great interest." The London Times publishes a significant article on the subject of the approaching dissolution of MAXIMILIAN'S empire, the corn ing retirement of the French troops from Mexico and the firm assertion of the Mon roe doctrine as a permanent feature of the foreign policy of the United States Gov ernment. The writer acknowledges, in the most complete manner, that the expedition to Mexico was undertaken at a moment when i t was firmly believed abroad that that the Union was permanently broken by the late rebellion, that the condition of af fairs has been materially changed since, by the assertion of its permanency and the '• vigorous foreign policy " of the Washing ton Cabinet, and that the Emperor NAPO LEON is the man who should be " condoled with on account of the final upshot of this sorry Mexican business." ThE TROUBLE IN BALTIMORE. The state of Maryland, has been on the verge of a civil war, from the high-handed measures of Gov. SWANN, in removing'the Police Coimnissioneis of the city of Balti more. This usurpation of power was de termined the Governor for the pur pose of controlling the election of Tuesday last. The form of a trial was gone through with, although it was evident from the out set that the whole affair was but a pretext to give the coloring of law to an act which the Governor had already decided upon.— The Commissioncre were removed from office, and new Commissioners appointed, and at one time a collision seemed inevita ble, between the Union men and returned rebel soldiers and rowdies. President JOHNSON sympathizing with the rebels, it is alleged, was ready to fur.iish troops to put down the Union men, and Gen. GRANT has been in Baltimore for some days. The firmness and forbearance of t he Union men have prevented a collision, and we trust that all danger of an outbreak is now past. On Saturday, the new Commissioners were arrested on a charge of unlawfully conspiring, and committed to jail, a writ of ' habeas corpus having been sued out, bad 1 not been returned at latest accounts. Gen. GRANT is endeavoring to effect a compro -1 inise, by which all the difficulties shall be ' amicably settled. Since the outbreak- of the rebellion no ! more flagrant and daring attempt has been made to elevate treason and punish loyal men, than this act of Gov. SWANN'S. That it has failed, is due to the unflinching cour age of the Union men of Baltimore,who saw in its success the return of rebel misrule and outrage. THE INTERNAL REVENUE —lt appears that notwithstanding the reductions and exemp tions made by the new internal revenue law.the receipts for the four months ending October 316t exceed by a million of dollars those of the corresponding months of last year, the totals for the period named in 1800 being $125,251,543.14 against $124, 181,409.29 in 1875. The month of October, however, shows a decline of $4,000,000, but on the whole the Treasury suffers less than was anticipated from the relief wisely ex tended to many productive interests. With a return indicating an internal revenue of $375,000,000 per annum the nation only re quires wise statesmanship to extricate her self from the pecuniary burdens imposed by the war. The people of the loyal States are nobly sustaining their country, financi ally as well as politically, and future gene rations will look back with amazement at the wonderful contrast between the Admin istration and the country. ELECTION NEWS.' Fenton Elected Governor of New Fork. NEW JERSEY REPUBLICAN ! Gain of Two Members of Congress! Large Gains in Illinois, Wisconsin and Massachusetts. [Special Dispatch to tho RETOBTER.] \\\; have delayed our paper until the la test hour on Wednesday, to be able to give our readers the result of the elections held ou Tuesday. The following dispatch con tains all that we have received : NEW YORK. New York City gives Hoffman the im mense majority of 46,000, but the rural districts have done nobly, and Penton's re election is certain by a majority of from 5 to 10,000. In the City the democrats gain one Member of Congress. In Chemung County, G. W. BUCK is elec ted to the Legislature, which is largely Re publican. NEW JERSEY. The Republicans have carried New Jer sey, and gained two members of Congress. Massachusetts gives about 70,000 Re" publican majority, Illinois about 40,000, and large gains for the Union Candidates \ iu Wisconsin. Baltimore city was quiet on election day, and but few rebels voted. CANADIAN CLEMENCY. —The trial and con viction of Rev. Mr. M'Mahon, a Cotholic priest, and Mr. Lyuche, and their sentence to be hung by the Canadian Courts, have created no little sensation among the Fen ians and . ven other citizens of the United States. The Canadians and the home gov ernment of Great Britain, were very ready to preach clemency from us towards the rebels who had caused thousands of deaths and made a most gigantic effort to destroy the Government ; but when a few Irishmen invade their territory and cause the death of half a dozen, they must swing,, and ajl the Canadians oppose clemency. They do not propose to follow their own teachings. They call for a rigid enforcement of the law and, whether priest or layman, the offen ders must feel the heavy arm of British power. How all the civilized world must laugh over the weakness of a great Repub- i lie which cannot even try the most guilty j traitors that ever lived, while England promptly tries and condemns the leaders of a regiment of invaders who, to say the worst, are not guilty of attempting to de- j stroy their own country. The position of these cases is verj' suggestive. SRATE LOAN. —The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund of this State give notice that sealed proposals for the sale of one million dollars of the five per cent, and one million dollars of the six per cent, loans of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania will be receiv ed at the Treasury department, in Harris burg, until Thursday, November 15th.— John F. Hartrauft, Auditor General ; Eli Slifer, Secretary of State, and W. U. Kem bie, State Treasurer, are the Commission ers. The recent election in Nebraska has resulted in another Republican triumph, John Taffe, the Radical candidate for Con gress, receiving seven hundred and forty eight majority. There is a Republican ma jority of nineteen on joint ballot iu the Leg islature. The importance of this victory is enhanced by the probable admission of Ne braska into the Union at the approaching session of Congress. She will swell the number and influence of the grand column of loyal States. 4QQ SnEEP AT AUCTION.
