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.

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.
