justly entitles him to the: scorn of
men of all parties. It is well known
that he sympathizes fully with the

offered providing that the repeal

THE LEGISLATURE
Only about two weeks more of the
session.of the Legislature remains,
and yet but little business has been ac
'co'mplished. The following bills have
passed botWHouses finally. and con

SIGNS SIF THE TIMES.
Under the above caption, Reaper's
Weekly prints the .following vigorous
editorial. It is well known that the
Weekly is not at -all friendly to the
administration of Gen. Gam, and
its utterances on the subject treated,
are therefore entitled to much greater
weight with those who sympathize
with it, on account of its opposition
to him.
Let the reader give the article a
sir perusal, and then ask himself
1 it is not sober, earnest truth:
More than three .months have
passed - since the autumn elections.
It is time to consider what evidence
there is from the acts and deeds of
the Democratic party since the vic
tory in its name at the polls that it
is a party-with a new spirit and p.nr
pose, and not the same old orgamss
thak sustained' slavery,,plunged
the country into war, and resisted
the guarantees of equal rights in re
construction. The first thing that is
observable is the fact of-a very gene;
al alarm at the prospect of a Demo
cratic victory in 1876, and an - alarm
which is not in the least relieved, but
greatly incicased, by what are seen
to be mistakes of policy upon the part
.of Republicans. The alarm springs
from the perception that while the
Democratic party insists upon concil
liation, it aims.only to conci ll iate the
late di saffected class in the Southern
States; that while it preaches the
golden rale and brotherly 'rove, it
sees the negro hunted and harried
without protest; and that it chiefly
honors those who were known during
the war as Copperheads or Confed
erates. The fact that they may be
its ablest men is not re-assuring in
view of other facts.
The Democrats have returned one
hundred and twelve ex-Confederate
soldiers to Congress. The Southern
States, with Maryland, Delaware,
and Kentucky, elect one hundred and
thirty-eight members. Of these all
but twenty-six are from the late Con
federate-army. This fact alone dis
poses of the Democratic assertion
that the Republican policy is one of
hatred and revenge, and. that the
party rejects concilliation and insist
upon tyranny. When the war ended
it was left in absolute control of the
government. It could' have dictated
any terms, and the country would
have acquiesced. Bat not a drop of
blood did it shed in vengeance. It
established no system of , confiscation.
It merely made every man free and a
citizen, and embodied his rights in
the fundamental law. This was not
very iniquitous. It was a magnni
mity unparalleled in history; and
had it been met in the acute spirit by
the Democratic party, the peace and
happiness of the country would have
been assured.
But that party bent upon its own
interest and not upon the. welfare of
the country, sought in every way to
perplex reconstruction and bring it
to naught. The recent story of the
Southern States is familiar. If the
Republicans have committed great
errors; ii frauds and military coer
cion can be urged against them,
equal frauds, with political , murder
and terrorism—the Ku Klux,the White
League, massacres, and open bloody
revolution in New Orleans last Sep
tember—can be truthfully , alleged
againit the Democratic party.- That
under abioluta Democratic • domino.-
tion in the Southern States a Repab-
Heart would be.no safer now than an
abolitionist before the war is assert
ed in a private letter, printed in the
New York Times, and in the state of
Southern society such as a late num
ber of • the Nation described, nothing
is more probable.. Meanwhile, in
other parts of the country the Dem
ooratic party sends typical Copper
heads, like Mr. Eaton, of Connecti
cut, to the Senate, and supersedes
Mx.;Schurz, the apostle of the De
mocracy as it pretends ,to be, by a
gentleman of whom nothing is known
but that he was an uncompro
mising Confederate general. We
do not recall such facts reproachfully.
,The more sincere were the convic
tions of these gentlemen, the less
should they be intrusted with the
control of the government. •
"Simultaneously events in Louisi
ana have elicited from the press and
orators of the Democratic party a
vituperation of the Administration,
and especially of General Sheridan,
the ferocious tone of which shows
that it is the outburst of a long-pent
hatred of that officer, who owes all
his distinction to his Marione ser
vice in the war. We have certainly
not justified his 'banditti,' dispatch
Bat we have never doubted that it
was the indignant outbnret , of an
honest soldier plainly unfit for civil
administration. But never by any
Democratic newspaper or orator were
the treachery of Davis and Lee 'and
the wretched Twiggs, or the unspeak
able infamies of Andersonville and
Belle Isle, or the massacres of inno
.cent men at New Orleans in 1865, at
Coushatta, and at Colfax, so denoun
ced as the dispatch of General Sheri
dan. Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, de
clared in the Senate that this gallant,
soldier, who has done more than the
whole Democratic party to keep this
republic free, was 'unfit to breathe
the free air of the republic,' as re
ported in the papers, but, according
to the Record, 'Who shall say wheth
er he is even fit to breathe the air
- of a republican government?' Who
is Mr. Bayard, of Delaware; who thus
denounces Sheridan and,extols free
dom ? He is the Senator of a State
in which he and his political friends
maintained human slavery as long as
they could, and a leader of the party
whose sole policy for more than a
generation was to make this a slave
republic. - •
"Meanwhile, in the session of Con
gress now closing, the conduct of the
Democrats, who have a majority in
the next House, shows the old tone—
the tone which Democratic success
would restore to the government.
The episode of Mr.. John - Young
Brown's performance; for which he
received the censure of ' the House
through the Speaker, and the earnest
efforts of the Democratic party to
shield him from that censure after
his plain prevarication, show the fire
of the 'old feeling still ',burning--a
fire which is not likely to ripen con
cord and tranquility should it by suc
cess extend and obtain' the mastery.
Where in all the orationsand res
olutions and leading articles of the
Democratic party for the last ten
years is found any word of hearty
American satisfaction that the rebell
ion of slavery was defeated, and that
every man within the national' do
main is free ? •
"Again, and. as another significant
sign of the times, there is .tbe con
duct of the Dem&ratio party in Illi
nois and Missouri in regard to the
public schools.. In the State of New
York the Roman Catholic hostility to
the public school system has always
depended epern that party.' his
been always the Demtieratic policy to
Win the Irish vote. and to do it by
grants and favors to the . Boman
Church. The, Demonratic gifts Of
the public - money and property in
',this State to that sect have been
' enormous. The party' does not dare
to oppose the Roman priesthood to
the point of incurring their hostility,
and its organs revile the exposurevf
priestly politics as an attack upon
religions liberty. But should the
common school system ever be over
throisn, it will be by the Democritio
party, as the price of the Cathrdie
vote. The first measure is the mita
rian division of the schoolland, snd
the Democratic moviement to this
end, especially in Illinois, already
powerful and threetening.
"These
.and such as these are the
signs of the time. > Do they suggest
the wisdom of a Democratic restora
tion ? 'That a party strongest in the
slums of great cities and weakest in
the most industrious:end prosperous
parts of the country is not more tru
ly representative of American char
acter and intelligence than its oppon
ent is obvious. That' the Democrat
ic party of the Unionis in any degree
whatever' more faithful to law, more
respectful of the , Constitution, more
jealous of liberty, or ,• more resolved
upon justice than the Republican is
simply absurd. Could the policy of
Aredrew Johnson have been carried
out,.and tbe Democritic plan of re
storation, as shown in the black.codes
and vagrant laws, haie been adapted.
the situation of the Country, unhap
py as it is many ways, would have
been intolerable. The maintenance
of the Republican organization, which
is the ;only ona under which the elec
tion of 1876 can be contested, is
therefore indispensible.
"No man who has been a supporter
of the party daring and since the
war, however deeply he may regret
what he thinks the serious errors
that imperil its ascendency, can con
template the possible success of the
Democrat without profound uneasi -
ness, and in the ' actual alternative
that is offered he will not readily re
nounce the only political organiza
tion around which those who 'can
defeat the Democracy may be rallied.
Oh the other hand, the condition of
that rally is plain to the dullest mind.
The elections have shown that Re
publicans will not 'go it blind,' nor
stick through thick and thin to what
ever may be done in the name of the
party. Notbihg is more evident than
that a'dangerons minority of Repub
licans—very many more than those
who hold the balince of power—
would even think Democratic success
a preferable evil to a Republican
policy of , desperation or of doubtful
constitutionality inspired by political
aharpers and toadies. The, concilia
tion of firm adherence to declared
principles, trust in the American
Idoctrine of lawful local government,
the statecraft which;.like the sailor's
,skill„makes even a head-wind serve,
strict regard "for the indispensible
conditions of free government, pa
tience, tact, forbearance, are ssential
to a policy that shall reuniteithe Re
publican party. The times are criti
cal, Republicans independent.
Let the leaders be wise, and they will
find themselves supported by all the
old conviction and enthusiasm.
THE ROBBER'S DEN.
This is not a romance, bat a true
story; and the -Robber's Den is situ
ated, not in the recesses of a dark
forest, in a cavern under ground,
with its entrance carefully concealed,
but is to be found to day, beneath
the dome of the capitol of the na
tion; in the City of Washington,
District of Columbia. The rubbers
live in fine houses of their own, or
board at the best hotels, and drink
the costliest wines.' Do not think we
refer to Congressmen; nothing is
farther from. our thOughts; and here
we desire to say that, chiefly owing
to the robberies committed- by. these
brigands, and the coercion they have
used, and the falsehoods they have
published, robber like, to cover np
their tracks, and divert public atten
tion from themselves, Congress has
unjustly been brought into disrepute,
and some people have been made, to
believe the slanderous tales which
these free-booters have told, and, have
come to . think that the two houses of
Congress are so corrupt that they de
serve, driving out, as Cromwell drove
out the long Parliment. Call to mind
the men I who have represented this
district (in Congress-,-John Laporte,
David Wilmot, Galusha A. Grow,
Henry W. Tracy, Ulysses Mercur, F.
C. Bunnell, J. D. Strawbridge. We
have all known some of these men
personally; and we know that all of
them have had a good reputation for
honesty and integrity - . Even their
political enemies never questioned
their honesty. Do yon suppose the
Bradford district is the only one in
the United States which has been for
tunate enough to obtain honest men
to represent it ? The idea Laeprepos
ter His. The average Congressman
is as honest as the people he repre
sents; and our people have not the
vanity to believe they are superior to
all others in virtue and intelligence.
The Pacific Nail Subsidy investi
gation, has fully disclosed what many
have long suspected, that the , corres
pondents of the great city newspapers,
now constitute, and have for a long
time constituted, the most powerful lob
by•that ever congregated at any capitol,
and the most corrupt and unscruptt
lorti band of pirates ever got to
gether since Kid dispersed hie crew
and burned his ship. Their , great
power is derived from the' papers
.which they represent, which defend
'-*hem when assailed, hide their crimes
froth the people, suffer them to lay
this blackmail, and, we were going to
say, share in their phinder.
So great is the power of these ban
dits, and the terror they have inspir
ed by their infamous deeds, and the
position they occupy as the 'furnish
ers of the congressional news for all
the chief papers in the United States,
that no congressman, or man who as
pires to be one, would care to write
as we have written, and tell the truth
about the den of robbers as he be- -
heves it; because he knows by so do- -
ing he would incur the displeasure,
and be denounced by these great city
papers, which are taken and read in
his district, to the detriment of the
country papers, whieh, though of
smaller dimensions, and humbler ap
pearance, are far superior to them in
honesty and blab:illness-
No railroad compat4 or other cor
' poration, ever approached the doors
of Congress for legislation, without
being told by these buccaneers that
they were the power behind the
throne, and the grand custodians of
Congressmen's votes; and that no
measure, whether necessary or not,
nuld ever be passed without first
obtaining their consent by the pay
ment of large sums of money. They
enlarge on the power of the press,
and the necessity of securing its sup
port in favor of the proposed leg's
lationiand do not hesitate to threaten
its hostility, in case their demands
are not acceded to • ;
, According to . the testimony of Ir
win, the agent of the Pac Mail
Company, $750,000 were paid by him
besides Lair stunts by, other parties,
amounting in the aggregate to nearly
$1,000,000, to get - the subsidy bill
passed. This enormous sum nearly
all went into the pockets of newspa
per men - .correspondents and edi
tors—not a dollar can be traced into
the hands of a Congressman. Schu
macker. who received a large sum,
though a Democratic Congressman
now, was not a member at the time
the bill was before the house. Hav
ing soldthemselves for a certain sum
to be paid on the paeutage of the bill,
as in the Peas Had, case, the lobby
thieves esti about the job of .putting
it through. The' first thing to be
done is to' *rite' the ; measure up in
gleing colors and show its advents
ges to the people and the-necessity of!
securing them; immediately. The;
next step is to. approach-Congress- I
men, and tell them that the press
and the people , are in favor of the
measure; and 'that "the voice of , the
petiole is the v i reo of God," that no
member who r gards his own inter
est can afford to
-stand in the way of
the press and the people, and should
he venture to j. do so he would be
overwhelmed-and trodden under foot
and have his place in Congress filled
by some other: matt. Is, it . strange
that this band of Corsairs should
have power tolinfluence legislation,
and compel members to vote against
their 'Conviction ? Their pens are
sharper then the assassin's dagger,
and more to be feared;' for in one
hoar they can destroy character, rep
utation—every hing a- man holds
dear.
The subsidy bill, was a proper
measure, exce pt that the amount of
the subsidy was too great to be paid
for carrying the mails, and no doubt
was made greater at the suggestion
of these Algerines, who desired the
company to have plenty of funds,out
of which to pay them the promised
tribute.l
Why:do the newspapers em
ploy dishonest men for their Wash
ington correspondents ? There is an
insane rivalry among 'them to publish
the news in advance of each other,
and hence they employ creatures who
do not hesitate at any means to ob
taro it for them, even to the stealing
of important papers and documents,
public and private. A few years
ago the New York Tribune. published
an important treaty, while it was still
under discussion in the Senate, with
closed doors, lin secret session. It
had been stolen, copied andreturned.
The correspondent of anothor paper,
who understood telegraphy, discov
ered an out- 4 f-the' way place in the
capitol building where the telegraph
wires were brought in, and practiced
for some time taking all the messages
off the wires, and publishing such as
' suited his purpose. We call them
robbers, instead of journalists and
gentleman. To obtain such -large
sums of money by such means' as
they have employed, is just as wicked
and more dishonorable, than to go
out on the.public highway with pis
tol in hand and demand the purses
of travelers. The."great" papers are
last loosing the confidence of the
people, end the influence which they
once possessed, and unless they soon
dissolve all connection ' with their
Washington correspondents,and turn
Over a new leaf, they will sink under
4 load of infamy, which they deserve.

THE LOUISIANA REPORT.
The report of Messrs' WHEELER S ,
Mai and Film, of the Louisiana ,
bommitiree is admitted on all hands
• 1
to be the fairest and most exhaustive
docametit onho subject of southern
ffairs, yet_ given to thepublic, and
will be endorsed by the intelligent'
portion of coMmunity as the 'truth
in regard to the condition of the
arions parties in Louisianw We
egret that Ai great length precludes
file possibility of our giving it a place
pi the colcimUs of the REPORTER; but ,
ve subjoin the Conclusion arrived at
by the committee in their report to
ongress:
CONCLUSION OF THE COMMITTEE,
On the whole ease we are of op
inion :
First—That there has been and is
on the part of the party calling theni-i
elves "The White . M an ' s Party in
;
ouisiana," a purpose to *take pox
'
ession by force and fraud of the
tate Government, without regard
O the question of who may have the
nmerical majority of a fair election.
1 Second—That in the execution of
this purpose they have refrained and
Will refrain from the use of no instru
tnent which are designed to scam-
Plish it, whether those instruments
Ix) murder, fraud, civil war, or co
ercion of laborers by employers.
[,_ Third--While there are many men
n that party of more moderate views,
Who do not themselves Ilse `nor ap
prove these unlawful means, such
inen desire the accomplishment !of
he same end, and are powerless to
entrain their more violent asseciates.
Fourth—Three causes have made
ft easier to unite so large a number
bf whites in Louisiana in this purpose,
andhave rendered it more difficult
to unite the best men among them in
opposition. The fact that the 'ad
ministration party of Louisiana is
made up by massing together almost
the whole negro vote, with a few
whites, largely from other States; the
fact that there has been great ,
maladminstration by Republican
officials; the belief honestly enter-'
tained by large numbers of the white
People of t Louisiana that they have
been twice defrauded of the result of
elections in Which they had been
successful. 1 ,
1 Fifth—While all those things are
great evils ‘ much to be deplored, and
likely to exasperate any people, the
course of the whites 'themselves has
tended to bring them atont and in-'
fliime them. I The simple and
peaceful remedies of obedience to
law, argnmenk and decent treat
rienti for their opponents, would,
if they had pursued them, have prov
e effectual long ago.
Sixth—While we believe Gov.
ellogg to hav,e received a majority
o the votes inl 1872, and while we,
believe there was violence ' and frandl
which frustrated the will of the people
in many of the parishes in 1875, thu
illegal order of Judge Dwell, and
the illegal conduct of the Returning,
Beard in attempting to cure one
i
wrong by another, naturally inflame d
the popular discontent, and lent
plausibility to the complainants.
Seventh—There has bean indis
putably much, , corruption in State,
and local administration in Lonisi-1
and. For this the . Republicans, es-1
pecially under' Warmonth's rule, are'
largely responsible, although in nu-1
merons instances their opponents
have been equally to blamer
Eiiihth—The effect of all this bas
been to put an end to the authority
of law in a birge portion of Louisi
ana, to deprive the negro of his free
dom of suffrage, and wholly, to de
stroy the value of the methods pro
vided by law for securing, fairness at
elections and ascertaining their. te
stae. This state of things overthrows
republican government in Louisiana, ;
and seriously menet:lees the whole
country'. . •
Ninth..--4. new election held at this;
time under national authority is not
desirable; it is not wished for by
either side, and would inflame and
langment the evil now existing.
Tenth—lt is the,duty of congress,
to use such powers as ars vested in
it - by the constitution ; it should:
recognize 'the lawful- governor of .
Louisiana by express resolution. We'
think William Pitt Kellogg the
choice of the majority of the voters '
of Louisiana, and that lie should be,
recognized accordingly. Congress
should provide further safe-guards
foi holding elections and ascertain;
ing the result, if any can be derived.;
Eleventh—Bat these rem dies are
at the beat temporary ands perficial s i
curing the' symptoms hu t the dis
ease. Efficient aid to e State to
establish public education would have
gone to prevent the evil, and may yet:
I effect a care. The public , senti;
ment of the rest of the country, withi
out - 'distinction Id party, may do
much to remove, ' as it has already
done much to aggravate, the evils io
Louisiana. ; Tbe people should un
derstand that all the authority lodge 4
in the General Government to pre
serve republican government and to
protect the rights of all its citizens
will be ' kindly but fearlessly and
steadily exerted, and,that no party in
this country will accept the alliance
of men who are seeking power by
such methods as we have been com 7
pellecl to describe..., Unless this can
be done the free institutions of the
whole United States will not long
survive the destruction of those in
the South.
BESOLIsioSs.
WHEREAS,. Both branches of the
legislature of Louisiana ihave request
ed the special committee of this
House to investigate I the circum
stances attending the 'election and
returns thereof in that State for the
year 1874, and whereas said commit
tee have unanimously reported that
the Returning Beard of that State,
in canvassing and compiling said re
turns and promulgating the result ;
wrongfully applied an erroneous rule
of law, by reason of which persons
were awarded seats in the House of
Representatives to which they were
not entitled, - and persons entitled to
seats were deprived of them.
Resolved, That it 'is recommended
to the House of Representatives of
Louisiana to take the necessary steps
to'remedy the great injustice,, and to
place the persons rightfully entitled
in their seats.
Resolved, That William Pitt Kel
logg be recognized as the Governor
of the State of Louisiana until the
end of the term of office fixed by the
constitution of that State.

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
PalLADzuntA, 'Starch 3, 1875
OUR NEXT GOVERNOR
The present Constitution of the
State of Ponnnylvaktia is now in the
second year of its existenee. Under
our new Constitution the October
elections, which in former years de
termined Presidential issues, are no
longer held ; and as the" people of
this' Commonwealth .desire that the
adage "as goes Pennsylvania so goes
the Union," shall continue with as
much force of truth as lieretofore,
the strongest efforts will be made by
both parties to win , in the struggle
for Governor next fall, .upon the pre
sumption that whichever party car
ries the State in November, 1875,
that party Will surely carry it in NO
vember, 1876, and that the twenty
nine electoral votes of Pennsylvania
will decide the Presidential contest
of next year... This is the reasoning
of the leading politicians of the
State, and nominations for State of
cers will be. made in accordance with
that theory. , - " •
The 'Repuhlicans practically, have
but one candidate—the ' present. Ex
ecutive of the State, Gen. John F.
Hartranft although Philaffelphie.
will elect a delegation in the interest
of Mayor Stokley, who will vote sol
idly for the - Mayor, with no 'other
purpose in view than giving 'him a
" good send off " for the nomination
at the expiration of Hartrauft's sec
ond term—in the event of his ro•
election.
•
Luzern° will warmly Tress
claims of Winthrop W. Ketchum,
Congressman elect from the Luzerne
District'. They will argue that while
the tidal wave of 1874 shipwrecked
Republican candidates for Congress
in all close districts, and in many
where the majority was really large,
Ketcham manfully stemmed the tide,
and in a district that gave 2,000
Democratic majority for the State
ticket, scored a majority of 800 for
himself. l
Allegheney will endeavor to , har
monize , her distarbant. elements by
presenting a solid front for Senatoi
Graham, as the candidate of her
choice for Governor ; and after her
turbulent spirits are piled will, like
Philadelphia, wheel into line for
Hartranft, who, in accotdance with
party usages, must become the stand
ard-bearer of his party.
The strongest m in .yet named by
the Democrobrare Senator Buckalew,
COL Noyes, of Clinton, Judge' Ross,
of Montgomery, and Senator Play
ford, of Fayette.
That class of Democrats represent=
ed by the old gentleman who wears
swallcw-tail - blue coat, with gilt
mountings, and a three-onnce -fob
seal, will support Senator Buckalew ;
the young,Democracy will rally round
Playford, and Noyes will be as strong
as either of them, while Ross will
have a following respectable in num
bers, and strong in its rough and
tumble character.
'Another fraction is to be consider
ed in this problem of Pennsylvania
politics, is the= probable candidacy of
Ex-Gov. Curtin. It is. now, only
complex fraction, and though it may
not be more than f, of yet Aleck.
McClure, who is superior at develop
ing whole numbers from common or
Complei fractions, is entirely satisfied
that this fraction will produce an in
teger. He regards it about in this
manner: Curtin as a component part
of the candidate to be nominated for
Governor, becomes, by the aceretion
of the `strength of Backalen , and
Naves, who will withdrani in his fa
vor, the whole number of the free:
tional part, which may be represented
by No. 1. By carrying the State for
Governor this year, he will develop
sufficicint strength to carry liimgelf
into Tftdon's %blink in Nut event of
the latter's promotion from Albany
to the White House.. With Curtin 8.1
Cabinet Minister, and lktcOlare—but
the best laid schemes of mice, raid
even of men, frequently miscarry,
and should Eartranft be re-gaoled,
the" bottom falls out of the Clurtin
basket, and the eggs are smashed
and the counted chickens come to
grief.
JAY COOKE & CO. 1 -
now. about eighteen mont,hs
sina thu failure of this firm, , and
noth'ikg has been done to liquidate
their.habilitios, except the payment
of a 5-cent piece upon each dollar, of
indebtedness, and a propositiOn Ito
distributes propOrtionate amonnt'of
" day-bird " securities, of a character
as doubtful as the . financial standing
of the bankrupts themselves ' but,
before even these almost worthless
securities—mostly. Northern Pacific
Railroad bonds—could be distribut
ed, some one in the interest of the.
Northern Pacific company nominally,
but in reality in the interest of the
bankrupt firm, claims that Jay CoOke
& Co. were subscribers to the stbek
of the N. P. R. .R. Co. for a large
amount; that their subscription has
not been paid ; that - they are borind
to pay it, and that the bonds held by
Vie bankrupts ought to be applied
towards the payment of the subscrip
tion on that stock. ' 1
Judge Cadwallader, after hearing
the petition of counsel representing
the N. P. Co., informed the trustee
that any distribution of atonic? to
creditors would be at his own ,riak ;
and it looks as though Jay Cooke S;
Co., as owners of the Northern Paci
fic Company, would get nearlyf all
the assets of Jay Cooke & Co., ;the
bankrupt bankers, excepting that i nt •
tle 5-cent piece on the dollar. This
firm is expecting to. be dischaiged
from bankruptcy at an early day,
with - a good character, and will prob
ably resume business :again.
THOS. A. SCOT VS. JOHN W. GAHHETH'.
In Sept., 1574,. a number of rail
read officials, iepreienting what tare
called the grand-trunk lines, met at
Saratoga and :entered into a compact
to maintain certain high rates i for
freight traffic' and. passenger fares.
A month ago John W.Garrett, presi
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio com
pany, stepped down and out from
the "Saratoga Compact," . andini the
interest of producers West, and con
sumers East, and the travelling-pub
lie everywhere, reduced the rates of
fares and freight about 40 per dent.
This action of the Baltimore presi
dent has " riled " Thos.A.Scott, pr es- 1
ident of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, whs has retaliated re
fusing to carry passengers over that
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad
extending from Philadelphia to New
York, on through tickets sold by the"
Baltimore and Ohio company. This
action causes a delay of several hours
in Philadelphia for all such paisen
gers, and a vexatious disarrangement
of freight traffic.
It is an ugly quarrel as it, now
stands, and, excepting among stock
holders of the Pennsylvania CoMpa
ny, I find fewlsympathizirig with:Col.
Scott.. The end,of it will doubtless
be a compromiCe, by which lOwer
freights and travelling rates will be
secured. Itrnst, however, thati un
der the general railroad law of Penn
sylvania Hr. barrett will be enabled
to build a competing line from this
city to New Fork, which, with his
probable acquisition of the Philadel
phia, Wilmington an Baltimore
Line, will give him a through line
from New YOrk to Chicago, Wash
ington and the South.
Ell
A 'DkE r IDFUL PRACTICE.
It is the practice with a number of
our leading retail establishments in
this city to treat their lady customers
to a glass of Wine wheil „they make
shOpping visits, especially during
very cold weather, like that we have
had this winter. A few days.ago an
estimable young married lady, yesid
ing in Camden, N. J, came across
the river to do some shopping. She
visited the dry-goods house where
she Usually makes - her purchases,
and after baying what she wanted,
was handed a giass of wine. She
returned after leaving that stere, in
a few minutes, to purchase something
that she had overlooked, and was
handed another glass of wine.' Not
being _accustomed to drinking, the
liquor went to her head, and she
began wandering around town, and
soon landed at Sixth and Bedford
streets, the lowest neighborhOod in
Philadelphia. • Here she was seen by
a inan on the look-out for sneh'cases,
who was leading her to a house of
prostitution, when he was overtaken
by policeman John Daffy, and the
lady, rescued.
As the woman was too much in
toxicated to give her name or resi
dence, she was taken to the,' 19th ,
district police station. Severity-six
dollars were found in her posession,
a handsome gold watch and diamond
rings. A few hours after she re
covered, and her husband was tele
graphed for who had in the mean.
time been searching everywhere ler
her; and at 1 o'clock the next mor
ning he arrived at the' police
station and took his , wife,
aged only 22 Years, and the Mother
of two children, home. The hnsband
is one of the leading business men
of Camden, and had it not have been
for policeman Daffy, the lady would
have been robbed and outraged, and
it may have !been; murdered.! The
Camden family is"too respectable to
name, but if*the huspand prosecutes
the dealer, it 'will not be libellous to
name hini' in double 7 leaded caps as a
tradesman who gate` his customers
drugged winos.

wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat and
potatoes is greater in Penna. than in
Illinois by 15-3-7-6,6: and 29
bushels respectively. In values an

than in Illinois; $7.48 in wheat;
