Philadelphia Press : "From this

see that the Republican party will
grow stronger for having asserted that

Owing to the great increase of
Tailroad traffic on the Pennsylvania
railroad between Philadelphia and
New York, the management are con
templating the plan of introducing a
four track system. Since the Penn
sylvania company assumed control of
this branch in 1872, the road has
earried 71,494,715 passengers. Of this
number during a period of nine years
ouly five were killed, showing a per
centage of one killed iu every 14,298,

which the road is operated.

0r Judiciary Bill.
Was vetoed last week by Governor

sary increase in the Judges of Penn
sylvania. For instance there was not
a l.artlele of use in dividing this dis

An easy district for any Judge, and
taking off Elk was altogether un
necessary. The uew Constitution
made the Increase of Judges in the
Btate too easy. When our new Con
stitution was adopted seven years ago,
we had 80 President Judges and 15
Assistant Law Judges in Peunsylva
nla. Now we have 43 judicial districts
with 73 common Pleas Judges and 6
Orphaus' Court Judges. In other
words, we are now paying 78 Judges
for performing the labor performed by
44 only seven years ago, and the new
'judicial apportionment would have
added 18 new Judges, or more than
double the number deemed necessary

Davis ise ana Fall.
(Phllndelphla Prem.)
Jefferson Davis' elaboate contribu
tion to the literature of the Civil War
while it Is botti biographical and his
torical, is neither a biography nor a
history. It is simply an argument in
two thick volume to prove the right
of secession arid. If we understand the
author aright, It pretends to be noth
ing more. Mr. Davis must be Judged
therefore, not as a historian aiming
at A faithful and Impartial presenta
tion of the truth, but as an intensely
IntereKted advocnte, who deals with
the facts of history as a lawyer deals
with evidence, coloring even where
lie does not misstate and citing only
what will sustain the cause he has
espoused. He acknowledges that the
case was close in '05 and a verdict re
turned against him. Tills post-mortem
examination, he gives us to un
derstand, is not for the purpose or
wilh the hope of bringing secession to
lire, but to show that it ought never to
have perished.
The author's argument we need not
go iuto. It U set forth at tedious
length, but contains nothing new.
It was triumphuntly and overwhelm
ingly refuted by Daniel Webster in
bis replies to Hayne and Calhoun fifty
years ago. It was still more
thoroughly demolished when appeal
was afterwards made to the sword.
Mr. Davis acknowledges the force of
the latter argument, though he still
insists on speaking of the Slates as
sovereignties and the National Govern
nientas "their limited and special
agent." The author's prepossessions
are reflected In the English rf the
work throughout. It is always the
"so-called Republican party." Our
great War Secretary is the "malevo
lent Stanton." The Northern armies
were composed for the mot part of
"foreign mercenaries," ond women
and children were habitually sub
jected by them to "wanton insults and
outrages.-' The story that he was ar
rested in feminine apparel, when lie
had only two of his wife's garments
on, he brands with unnecessary harsh
ness as "the spawn of a malignity
that shames the civilization of the
age." He tells that he accepted the
Presidency of the Confederacy with
reluctance, as he modestly estimated
himself "better fitted to command in
the field." and the positiou he prefer
red to all others was "the highest
rank in the army." The associates of
Jefferson Duvis in the civil adminis
tration of the Confederacy m-ist look
elsewhere than iu his book for im mor
tality. Robert Toombs, his first Secre
tar of State, is barely and briefly men
tioned twice in the two volumes; R.
M. T. Hunter, another Secretary of
State, has his name in but once; Alex
ander II. Stephens' name appears five
times, and Judah P. Benjamin three
times. Mr. Davis' publishers insert a
picture of bis Cabinet under tbe per
manent Government. That he ever
had such a Cabinet is a fact of which
the author himself makes no men
tion. We look in vain through these vol
umes for any record of Union victor
ies. It is impossible to account from
anything tVreln contained for the
gradual shrinkage and fiufU collapse
of the Confederacy. Even of Gettys
burg the author writes: "It is not ad
mitted that our army was defeats-! "
The celebrated encounter of the Moni
tor and Merrimac terminated, accord
ing to this authority, in a decided
victory for the Confederate iron-clad,
which he prefers to designate as the
"Virginia." The battle of Shiloh, or
Pittsburg Landing, resulted, we are
told, in a glorious triumph for the
Confederate army. If "one more"en
eampment had been captured the
author thinks "that it was not too
much to expect that Grant's army
would have surrendered." As it was,
however, "our victorious army re
tired from the front," whereby "the
enemy had room and opportunity to
come out from their corner." He
keeps up this preteuse to the end, and
when, as the result of these many left
handed victories, he is forced to aban
don Richmond he gives the ladies
who wait upon him to understand
that "the success of the cause required
it." Some weeks later we learn that
it was only bis wife's inopportune em
brace which prevented him from an
nihilating a squad of Michigan eaval
rymen, who on this accouut.succeeded
iu making him a prisoner.
The ohtuseness of the Confederate
President In the face of overwhelming
defeat compels a certain degree of ad
miration. Lee's surrender and the
evacution of Richmond only opened
up to him "a new phase of the strug
gle," In which they were fortunately
"relieved from the necessity of guard
ing particular points." He still con
tinues his quarrel with Johnson for
refusing to promote his purpose of
prolonging the war into a desultoiy
bushwacking contest. If laith. hope
uiiu Huuooornuess couio nave won a
cause he would have pulled the Con
frederacy through. Excepting in this
sanguine tenacity of purjiose we fail
to see in Mr. Davis, as portrayed in
1.1.1 1 .1 1 .. u I .. I ! r.. .. ' .
uis uook uiiu iu 111s mi.', u single ele
ment of greatness. He appears as a
man of an unusually narrow under
standing, bitterly partisan, violently
prejudiced, but with unlimited self-
confidence. In his comments on the
defenders of the Union he is from the
constitution of bis mind not capable
ot being just, much less of being gen
erous. The idle rumors and slanders
of the war, which he was always so
ready to believe and so prompt to give
currency to, though again and again
refuted, are here solemnly revived on
the iaith, doubtless, of his own origi-.
nai proclamation, except tor one
saving clause at the end of his work,
we would add that lie was equally in
capable of learning anything. But
ne lias mere put on record the one
indisputable sane remark in his two
volumes', where tie recognizes the tact
that "the war showed secession to. be
impracticable." With this whole
