politics !of that State are aware that the

people tare by far more sensitive than In
any other New England State, and that.
the Connecticut Republicans have taken
a contract which will tax their utmost

them a double load to carry, and, we fear,
heavy enough to submerge the 8,000 ma

Philadelphia an unpaid one. In 1867, in
those cities the cost of the departments,
and the losses sustained by fires are repre
sented by these figures:

THE RIGHTS OF NALVIG TION.
'the Ways and
neadation,
anent of
t Much.
We implore members of the Committee
on Roads and Canals, and of • e House
at large, to heed the earnest and most
reasonable remonstrances of the great
body of the people on the Ohio River Val
ley, against the further multiplication of
existing artificial strustures in the chan
nel of that stream. In this matter, the
railway corporations are on one side, and
the popular masses on the other. The
first can do vastly more in the lobby, but
the last make theinselves felt at the polls.
Let members be assured that the day is
not far off, when a leading issue in the
popular elections will be upon a line
drawn straight and strong between legis
lation for the lobby and legislation for the
people—between the special privileges of
the few and the constitutional rights of
the millions.
THE PEOPLE VS. THE RAILWAY
RING.
The decisive vote by which the House
last week referred the bill for an addi
tional subsidy to the Union Pacific E. D.
itailway,. to the Committee on Public
Lands, was in no small part due to the
able speech of Mr. LOGAN, (Ills.), in
oppositionto its passage. This gentle
man traced the history of the project, ex
plained the exact bearings of its pending
application and pointed out the results of
the passage of the bill upon the Treasury,
Incidentally, Mr. LOGAN proposed a
policy to be applied to these roads now
asking to be subsidized, which would be
free from many of the objections made
at present. He demanded that the na
tional planate° of the interest upon
bonds should be itself a first mortgage;
that the charges for all public business
transacted over the completed road should
be reserved by the Treasury and applied
to the Boni - dean of that interest; that
any necessary balance to meet the inter
est should be regularly deposited by the
Company in the Treasury, at least ten
days before the coupons became payable;
that upon any failure of the Company to
perform these conditions, the Govern
ment ehould at once take possession of
the' road, &c; that the 'lends donated
should be put into'the market at $2,50
per acre, with the coMpletion of each
twenty-mile- section, and that the pro
ceeds should be devoted toe sinking-fand
a the re lemption of the bonds'Upon '
which the interest bad lx4an so gtutratt
teed.
This • proposition would be in all re
spects a meritorious oneo except that it
would not suit the Companies—which
proves that what is good for the Tama
ury is not what the speculators .want.
Now, which shall go to the wall?

VIE SENATORI it SHAM.
The Senators who propose to distin- j
gni* themselves as fire-eating champions
of the National honor, in this Alabama
business with England, display a remark
able delicacy of tactics in their treatment
of the main question under the pending
treaty. They at present sing very small
upon the, point of wounded honor, but
industriously manufacture objections to
the details of the treaty, as not really mak
ing good any of its ostensible promises of
pecuniary satisfaction. We have been
overreached in the bargain, they say,
and must have a new deal. They 'think
this a safer line df opposition for the
present, than to go to the country
at once upon the question of vin
dictive reparation, , which really un
derlies their opposition to this form
of 'adjustment. This device is per
baps creditable to their shrewd apprecia
tion of the national' aversion to any idea
of War, but it is not the kart of dodge
which we should expect from Senators
who are in earnest in theit tender solid
,
trade for amore complete satisfaction. The
Captain BOBADILIS should have the cour
age to speak out; let them forego this pol
idy of stifling all Congressional discus
sion whatever, or of contriving or elab- .
orating petty objections to the details of
the treaty, and hotiestly declare to the
Country their determination, not -only to
latetal payment for the ships actually
destroyed, but to seize upon Canada, Ber-
Muda, or JaMalca, or all three, as alone
' affording to us full reparation for all the
insults which England has heaped upon
na-in the eight years past.
If Senators will persist in the discreet
concealment of their true purposes under
the false cover of these paltry issues con
cerning the Commission, the umpire and
other details o the treaty—we know at
least one jo , and ifortunately there
are many mo at its aide, which will be
faithful in k ingi its readers and the
i 1
public plainly and - promptly advised of
1 the exact sit_ ation. ,If the . Alabama
treaty be rejee ed, as now seems likely,
the people s at least know the real
motives Nyhich , actuate the Senate, and
which are precisely as we haye std
them. , I
THE WEST INDIAN MOVEMENT ,
The question of Doniinican annexe•
tion will come up again In .the House
next Monday. Its friends declare that
the proposition gains in strength every
day. If .it bi true that the Democratic
"members agreed to oppose it because, in
acquiring that magnificent island, we
should alsaget too much of the negro, we
shall find them opposing ~the annexation
of Cuba for the same reason. The final
success of this proposition is only a ques
tion of • time. Each of the Dominican
rulers is in favor of it, while our new
lad
ministration seconds it, and the people
will soon be unanimously , on the same
side. '
The Island of Hispaniola, 4comprising
the two Governments of Haytiand San
Darning°, has an area of 27,690 square
miles, and is nearly four times as large as
the State of Massachusetts. Its popula
tion exceeds 1,000,000. Atter Cuba, this
island Is the largest, richest and most
beautifill In the Westlndian Archipelago.
It Is situated between Cuba and Jamaica
on the west, and Porto Rico . on the east,
at distinces ranging from 54 to 116 miles.
The climate Is hot and moist, the soil is
rich in every variety of tropical produc.
tions, and the earth abounds with every
known form of mineral wealth. A coast
'ins of more than 1,200 miles presents
everywhere capacious and safe harbors
for one of which, at Samsun, our Govern
ment has been negotiating the purchase
for naval uses. We are now offered the
' whole island for nothing—and sooner or
later the offer will be accepted.
APPRENTICESHIP.
In the State Workingmen's Convention
at Albany, New York, last week, a step
was taken which was emphatically in the
right direction. A restoration of the ap
prenticeship system was recommended,
embracing five distinct points: 1. That
the apprentice shall be legally bound to
serve his master at least five years. 2.
That the master shall be compelled to
teach the apprentice in every branch of
his business, and give him such day and
night schOoling as may be needful to fit
him for carrying on his trade when free.
3. That the master shall he responsible
for the tippet as well. as the mechanical
training of the boy. 4. That severe pen
alties shall be enforced upon a master
who harbors or gives employment to a
lad apprenticed to another, unless his in
dentures shall heve been cancelled. 5.
That upon the expiration of his time the
apprentice shall receive a certificate from
his master, stating the number of Years
he has served, the trade he has learned,
and lus qualifications therein.
Bo far, well. But something more than
'this is required. It is necessary, in ad
ditlon, to secure to boys the right or op
portunity to learn M a de. A good deal
has been mad and written flippantly about
the unwillingness of boys to learn trades,
and about their anxiety to crowd into em
ployments which are falsely reputed
lighter and genteeler. There is very lit
tle truth in these imreachments of the
sense and discretion of the present genei
sition of boys. Blame, in this matter,
rests not upon the boys, but eliewhere-
It &hundred boys were deeply solicitous
to-day to enter upon regtdar appientice
ships to different mechanical einploy
meats, they would find insurmountable
obstacles across their path. They coubd
not find places where they could be in
structed. All over the cattail', in the
logger towns, the difficulties besetting lads
who want to learn trades is the same as
here.
- It is easy enough to'demand that boys
shouhrvacide the positiptis they hold, be
hind counters, and go at trades, so as to
let females have &chance. But the boys,
let them try ever so niuch, cannot get
into shops and ' factories , as apprentices.
The fault is not with them, but with the
arbitrary rules by which they are ex
clude& . r
True, boys could, more generally than
they do, find employment n farms. The
marvel is that they do not turn their
thoughts ' in_ that direction. A much
larger proportion of those who start, in
their youth, as farmers, and stick to the
vocation, arrive at handsome competen
cies at middle life, than of those who fol
low any other calling. Besides, there is
more solid satisfaction and contentment,
for people of good sense, in agricultural
pursuits, than in any other employment
whatever. The prizes may not be as
tut large as in some other departments:of
•
~;'~i.. .
activity, but there are many more of
them.
The old law of this State defining the
mutual relations and obligations of mas
ter and apprentice, is still unrepealeA3,
but it has fallen into almost entire disuse.
But this law applies exclusively to minors
under the care of executors, administra
tors, guardians and tutors, at the request
of either 'ofl whom the Justices of the
Orphans' Court in the respective coun
ties are empoWered to put out minors of
either sex as apprentices to trades, hus
bandry or other - employments. This law
is excellent, so far as it goes; but it does
not go fax enough. What is needed is a
law covering the cases of all children,
and then, which is of greater conse
quence,i a public sentiment high shall
require of , all youths, no atter , what
calling or pursuit they may elect, sod,
application to it, and for, so long a period,
as shall render their proficiency reason
ably certain, The welfare of the boys
and girls now growing up, and yet to
come upon the stage of action, as, also,
the common welfare, demands this. The
existing system, or rather lack of all sys
tem, is the worst possible that can be
conceived, and a remedy carrot too soon
be devised and applied.
BALEFUL LEGACIES.
War necessarily tends to the deteriora•
tion of public and private morals. Nor
does it matter much, in this regard,
whether the war is a just or' an unjust
one. Even when Right is clearly on the
side of one of the contestants, and Wrong
as absolutely on the other, no material
difference is observable in the two parties
as to the degree of demoralization. Who
evei considers what war is, perceives that
from' the very nature of the case, this
must be so. Yast masses of men cannot
be put in military array, and employed in
the work of destroying property and
slaughtering their fellow men, no matter
what the cause of quarrel may be, with
out having their sense of the rights of
of ownership and the sacredness of hu
man life seriously impaired.
In strict accordance with this view, it
is susceptible of the clearest demonstra
tion L-nay, it has been demonstrated be
yond disputation—that crimes against
property, chastity and life have largely
increased, ratably to the population, all
over the country, since the war for the
.preservation of the Union began. The
statistics of criminal jurisprudence give
testimony on leis head which is appalling
and admits of no refutation. A whole
generation, at least, will have to pass off
the stage of action before the moral tone
of society will be restored to even the
low degree of purity in which it existed
before the Rebellion.
The infection of dishonesty makes its
presence felt in the Presidential mansion,
in Congress, in the State Legislatures,
and in the tribunals of public justice.
Bribes are shamelessly taken. Laws are
enacted to promote private advantage
rather than the general good. Places of
trust are bought and sold. The revenues
are plundered with scarcely any attempt
at concealment. Men go into office pooh
and in a few years come out rolling in
wealth and luxury. Many people look on
in astonishment, imagining that the mis
chief is confined to politicians, and that
if the present brood were swept away a
wide and wholesome reform would be
inaugurated.
Never were any men, more mistaken
than these astonished individuals. The
politicians are no more corrupt than the
mass of the communities to which they
belong, and to which in due season they
will return. Consider the brazen And
gigantic swindles, which are constantly
coming to notice in railway management.
In these culpable transactions are involved
thousands of the moat eminent business
men of the nation. They hold the
Judges so completely in their grasp, that
they snap their fingers in defiance of the
laws, and feel an unshaken confidence
that both their social' and financial posi
tions will not be disturbed. Consider
the multitudes of first-class business ulen
who besiege Congress and the State Leg
islatures for enactments prejudicial to
the common welfare, but out of which
they can make* Inordinate gains.
Having resolved to make money
in defiance of right, it , follows
naturally, that they do not hesi
tate to offer bribes for compliance with
their designs, and votes to carry them
through. Consider the thuds upon the
external and internal revenue, perpetra
ted by thousands of merchants, kmanufnc
turers and capitalists, by which at least
one-fourth of the just income of Ithe gov
ernment is stolen. Consider again the
adulterations and short measures resorted
to ahnest universally by . dealers of all
grade'', of which terrible revelations have
recently teen madain New 'York jour
nals, and which can doubtless be matched
in kind in every other city and town in the
Union. Pure whisky, or even whisky
at alli - has become literally unknown in
the retail trade, a decoction of poisonous
drugs taking its place. Most articles of
food are subjected to fraudulent manipu
lation. Indeed, dishonestY wears so
many forms, and has become so nearly
omnipresent, that it takes the mask of
virtue, in innumerable instances in which
clamor is raised againit sins of omission
or of commission „by politicians. Busi
ness men are exacting a degree orunself
ishness and purity in r public men which
they too frequently do not exemplify in
their own dealings

the economic details by which they are

tracts for warlike supplies and commis

plunder of conquered districts, afford op
portunities for the sudden acquisition of
fortunes prodigious beyond the earlier
precedent& The inflation of the cur
rency, and the consequent enhancement
of pricesraggravate the social distemper.
Profusion becomes the rule, and economy
the exception. Nor is proftviion mani
fested on only one or two points. It
runs into every department ler life-into
dress, furniture, food, drink, houses,
equipages, stores, school houses and
churches.
Each child in each opulent family is
brought up as if he or she were to be sole
heir to the whole estate. Expensive
tastes are indulged. and permanently ac
quired, becoming: as inexorable in their
demands as Nature itself. Children fail
to acquire the habits of industry and prg
deuce which their fathers and mothers
practiced in early life. In large numbers
they become drones ; not unfrequently,
profligates. This is why so many wealthy
families disappear in the second genera
tion,, and are not found again.

facts, end many of like import, that ex- 1

What is in the atmosphere will pass into ' 1
the lungs.. What man of us all, here in 1 1
Pittsburgh, can stop inhaling the omni
present smoke It is precisely so with 1
distempers in the political atmosphere
consciously or unconsciously, all shire in
them, though possibly not in the same de
gree.
Nor is there any essential difference in
these matters between ,Republicans and
Democrats. Few men, if any, are so self
poised that they can altogether withstand
the influences by whisk they are sur
rounded. Search all history, and it will
be found that the best, wisest and strong
est bear many traces of the impurities
peculiar to the age in which they
lived and wrought. We see this in them,
bid not in ourselves. Whether we dis
cover it or not, the fact remains.
The nation has a serious task before it;
which is to eliminate from its conuition
the baleful legacies lett it by the great Re
bellion. This cannot be done by flip
pantli declaiming against special mani
festations of the presence and power of
the evils which we have portrayed; but
by each citizen, first of all, delivering
himself and herself from the contagion
to which they have 'been exposed, and
thus setting themselves systematically at
work to help others.. Perhaps it will be
found that they Who declaim most against
the prevailing faults of this country, will
be slowest to amend their own conduct,
while those who most heartily deplore
what they witness, and most , effectually
strive to lessen it, will not be found most
censorious in their condemnation of a
common crime. ,
AT a meeting of the Republican County
ComMittee of Huntingdon county, a res
