uncharitable to insinuate that these exiles

THE MARCH OF EVENTS.
The Post makes, as we anticipated it
would, the point that the proposed Fif
teenth Amendment to thi Constitution is
not in harmony with the declaration con
tained in' the Chicago Platform of last
year, to the effect that the question of suf.
frage belonged to the respective States.
We admit the discrepancy ; but do not
see that it stands in need of extenuation.
Life is a progress, and no'man, unless he
is without reason, and consequently in
capable of intellectual movement, stands
this year where - file did last.
The. Republican party was organized
simply to resist the extension of slavery
territorially, and its encroachments po
litically upon the spirit of liberty. No
intention was entertained of going beyond
these objects. But the slaveholdera, in
conjunction With the dediocratic leaders,
brought on the war; and thereby forced
the Republican party, and the; adminbi
tiation it had instituted and sustained, to
strike directly at slaiery as hostile to the
national existence and as menacing to the
just rights of encloses of loyakitizens.
Here was involved a change of policy,
but not of sentiment and principle. When
the war closed, the Repuldican party had
no expectation of pressing for the admis
sion of , the blacks to citissenship, and to
the exercise of political rights under citi
zenship:. But the ontrageis to which the
blacks were subjected in nuinrOf the
States,. ,:ansi the - , Contempt poured UpOU
them eve rywhere by the DemoCratic par
ty, made it mote and more apparent that
it was necessary to their protection that
they sbbuld-be clothed with moat of the
attributes o f citizenship worn by other
classes of i n habltanti.:J .
If, then; the ftepttbileans have built on
tbe foundation they, originally laid, a
higher supeidninture than they designed,
thti moving'amuse - was:%not so much In
themselves •as in .tau opponents, and
in thateliumon tendency of the age from

WHAT RE RENCHHENTIMpLirI.
. 1
That the Pacific . Railway
been renders useless for a lone distanc ,
during a month past, by accumulat d
snows, is well known. That it will
constantly liable to obstruction'froms
cause, may reasonably be . inferre
That these considerations impart peculi
weight to the general argument in fay r
of other railways scrims theme' ntinent is
freely conceded. That government d
1
will ultimately be given to Such en •
0
prises is more than probahle. But, or
the present, we maintain it is the o y
, L ,
'safe policy to seekto rellevqtbe Trees ry
from obligations instead of increas ng
the responsibilities, direct or conting nt,
it has to provide fey. Hence
look with no favor upon the new
proposition that the Government, in-lieu
of issuing its own •bonds in aid pf rail
way construction, .;shall shall guarantee the
payment of interest upon bonds to beis
sued by certain corporations. Indeed,
we can perceive' no essential difference
between giving government bonds' to
those, corporations, and endorsing their
bonds so far aS the interest is concerned.
President . GRANT and the Republican
party stand pledged to retrenchment and
econowy. They Ove those pledges ex
pecting to redeem )them. ,The President
and the bulk of the party mean to make
their words good. The leaks must be
stopped. 4.
When tbe Treasury shall be got into
easy working condition; when the public
debt shall be replaced at two-thirds ; the
existing rate of interest; when the bur
dens of the tax-payers shall be ;tamed;
when ihe waste-placeS of the mouth shall
be rebuilt; and when the prosperity of
the whole country shallbe ensured, then
it will be time enough to talk seriouslyOf
pledging the government for inidreds of
millions more to helcrbuild railroads.
The new President has uttered words
about the use of the veto power which
the railway "rings" will do well to re
member. _
INTERESTED WITNESSES.
An old and inflexible rule in legal pro
ceedings was to exclude from the witness
stand,all persona having direct interest in
any , matter undergoing investigation.
The reason for this 'rule was that indi
viduals are liable to have their percep
tions bhnded,and their judgments warped,
by connection with, ofinterest in, any
transaction or case, and to such a degree
as to render their testimony altogether un
reliable and mischievous. blagistrates,
lawyers, and others who have been much
in courts of justice, know perfectly - well
Itbat this exclusion of interested witnesses
has not purified the currents of evidence
constantly produced in the trial of causes.
They comprehend that much honest testi
mony is partial, prejudiced, mistaken,
and otherwise untrustworthy; and thatiit
is not the mostrdifficult thing conceivable
to obtain testimony that is purposely cor
rupt. By means of mistaken evidence, it
often happens that serious injustice is
done. various persons, produced as wit
nesses, are familiar with detached por
tions of a transaction ; neither of them,
nor all of them combined, with the whole
of it. What is lacking in their know'.
edge is indispensable to a correct presen
tation of the facts. Nay, what they know
is just enough to convey an entirely er
roneous history of the case ; and thus
wrong prevails over right.
Within the last few years, in , some of
the States, it has been thought better to
ordain that all persons having knowledge
of any subject involved in litigation may
be required to give testimony in relation
thereto. In all instances in - which wit
nesses are interested in the issue, their
testimony is taken under that condition,
that is to say, depositions are allowed
much ,or little weight according to the
reputations of the deponents, and the
consistency and consequent credibility of
their avowals in the special case. This
is precisely themanner in which the tes
timony of witnesses adjudged to be dis
interested, is sifted and its value deter-
mined.
Parties to a suit are naturally presumed
to know all about it„extrsordipary cases
only excepted. In the great majority of
cases the knowledge resting between
them is full and complete. Is there any
reason why they should' not'be required
to disclose all they • know? "."of why that
'the ,validity':of their 'reispective claims
:aborild be itpigeil by thousoamer- in.:de
tallirisi the material Dicta involved? or
why . they should be perraitted to sand
by, with closed lips, while putting for
ward men and women ,as witnesses who
clearly know incomparably less of the
affair than they R io themselves?
flo far as the experiment has been tried
of compelling interested persons to be
come witnesses, none of the evils pre
dicted have been experienced. It is al
leged, and perhaps truly, that many
parties in interest,so testify as to beget a
good deal more than a suspicion that they
are dbitionest. If such is really the fact,
it must be passed to the general discredit,
•of human nature, as well asto the special
'irlisgrace of the individuals thus exposed:
But, it is surely better thtt persons who
wrongfully artslgn their fellows, or who
refuse justice to them on deceitful
grounds, should expose themselves in
this way, instead of managing to con
summate projected dishonesties by means
of other witnesses, who are either igno„
rarit of the real' matter in controversy or
reckless as to the statements they make.
Last winter a bill Was brought before
the Legislature -at Hairisburg; to allow
interested parties to testify. This was
going only Tart of the way, indicated
above. , So much would have been better
than an inflexible adherence •to the old
rule. But the bill failed. • A similar bill
has been introduced during the current
session, and is now pending. The mem-'
bers of the bar of Philadelphia have pre
pared and forwarded for presentation a
petition earnestly , urging its passage. It
is fair to presume that these petitioners,
from the very nature of their professional
pursuits, comprehend the merits of the
proposed change in all their length and
breadth. Nor can it be doubted, that
. lawyers in this city, and elsewhere
throughout the Commonwealth, who have
had their attention turned to the subject,
concur in the view taken thereof by their
Philadelphia brethren. With deference,
we beg leave to suggest that all lawyers
in the State, who think well of the con
templated inovation, signify in sonie form
1 their wishes to the Legislature. -
TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION.
Boston is to have a Museum of Arts,
including a department in which the
elements of machinery shall be presented,
as illustrated by working:, models of all
the primary deyices which employ force
or motion. For this cabinet of .elemen
-tarp mechanics, very great advantages
may be very justly claimed, especially for
the aid it may ~ t fford to inventors, who
would refer 'to it for rudimental infor
mation, as the writer refers to his diction
ary or gazetteer. ,
It may be apprehended, however, that
the practical success 6t this projctA will
encounter some grave and, we fear, in
superable difficulties. Since they pro=
pose to dispense with such an unwieldy
collection of , complete model-raaehinea as
we find, at our Washington Patent office,
to be really a bewildering embarrassment '
to, inventors and the public, the question
rises whether any classification of the ele
mentary principles involved in their dis
coveries is likely to be satisfactory to in
ventors. This class of citizens would be
peculiarly prone to challenge the im
ptirtiality' and the discriminating judg
ment of the Curator and Trustees, who
are to be charged with the respon
sibility of eliminating the new from
the old in the inventions submitted; with
the resulting classifications. We can
easily anticipate,' therefore, that the
Museum will not be popular with inven
tors, except for its useful instruction,
alike for them and for the curious world,
in what may , be considered the rudiments
of mechanical knowledge. But it is a
good long step in the right direction, and,
if the discretion and capacity of its man
agement shall be established, may even
tually win the good-will of inventors and
constructors, and so realize all that its
Mends anticipate. In any event, stich a
Museum cannot but prove of the greatest
service to the general interests of techni-
cal science.
Washington Gouip.
The Republican journals have gener
ally taken ground against the repeal of
the law which prevents Mr. Stewart from
accepting the office of Secretary of the
Treasury, and today Republican Sena
tors are talking the same way. The New
York Post, of last evening, says that in
sending a message to l the Senate asking
the repeal of this law, Grant has made a
blunder. To-day the two New York
Senators, and 'nearly all of those from
New England, declare that they will op
pole the repeal. It may be generally
understood, therefore, that if Mr. Stew
art wishes to be Secretary hemust dispose
of his importing business. This, it is be
lieved, he can not do for some time, even
if he feels disposed to do so.
Senator Williams, of Oregon, says that
the wisdom of the law is conclusively
proved in Mr. Stewart'S case. In the
general belief against the repeal, the New
Yorkers are at work to press the names
of Messrs. Hamilton Fish and Griswold
for the vacancy to be created by Mr.
Stewart's forced retirement. It appears,
on official authority, that the President
formally tendered to Representative
Boutwell. of Massachusetts, the position
of Secretary of the Interior, which that
gentleman declined, as he preferred to re
main in Congress.
A. correspondent says : I also know
that the Treasury Department was ten
dered to George H. Stuart, of Philadelphia,
Colonel McClure's friend, , but declined
by him on the ground of ill health.
• Judge Hoar retires on a polite invita
tion from headquarters, that circa .. -
stances of an unusual and unex . •
character have rendered his post on in
connection with the Cabinet very ember
rassingto the President. He has. there
-
lore, offered to relieve the _latter by ten
dering Ida resignation. , •
It is rumored about the Capitol that
Hoar is expected to resign, thus uudiblit
way ftor Boutw4ll. And csiloulating on
the withdrawal of Stewart, the appoint.-
' neat of - Lyn= Tremaine; of New York,
es Attonuy. General, is altuilnentioned.
There wh e re uch excitement and interest
everyw concerning the Cabinet.
There is no longer any doubt that Mr.
-Boutwell was offered the Interior De
partment by General Grant a day or two
before the inauguration. He declined
tor the reason that he was unacquainted
with the department and' its require
- mints, and preferred to remain in the
House._ •

ALLEGRESY SEWERAGE.
Large Meeting of Cltlzens—Discussion
01 the Proposed Lag'—Remonstrance
Against Its Passage.
An adjourned meeting' of the citizens
of the Third, • Fourth, Seventh and
„ .
Eighth wards of ,Allegheny was held
last evening in Selool House No. 5, Lib
erty street, Fourth ward, fettle purpose
of taking action in regard to the pro
posed act, now pending before the State
Legislature, establishing a Sewerage sys
,
tem for the city.
The attendance was much fuller than
at the previous meeting and the amount
of property represented quite large.
On motion Mr . Jacob Painter was call
ed to the Chair, and Dr: Alcorn appointed
Secretary.
The President stated the object of the
meeting, after which the Secretary read
the old laws,logether with the present
one, relative to the subject.
On motion , a Committee consisting of
Messrs. Burchfield,d Kopp, Eggers, Cal
lery, Behrhorst and Waiters Was appoint
ed to prepare resolutions in relation to
the matter under consideration.'
While the Committee were , preparing
the resolutions Mr. Alcorn, from the
Fourth ward, made anew remarks in op•
position to, the passage of the proposed
act. ,He objected specially to the issue
of small bonds, as contemplated in n a pe
act, contending that it would materially --
deteriorate the credit of thecity. He also
objected to the designation of all sewers
twenty inches in calibre as main sewers,
and levying a general assessment for the
payment of their construction. He
thought this would have the effect of
making all sewers constructed of twenty
inch calibre in order that the whole city
and not the district directly benefitted
would be compelled'to pay for them. ,
Mr. Megraw said the system of sewer
age must be looked at as a sanitary mea
sure as well as a city drainage system.
Every citizen was interested In having
the city properly drained, whether the
sewer by which this was accomplished
passed in the neighborhood of his prop
erty or not.' Hence the justice of the
general tax. In explanation of the
clause in the act designating all
'sewers of twenty inch calibre as main
sewers, he stated that this was the maxi
mum size of the pipes used for sewerage
purposes, and anything larger then this
would have to be constructed of bricks.
Re thought the act as approved by Coun
cils was, with a few exceptions, a noble
- and just law.
Mr. Coffin was in favor of the old law,
'assessing upon property owners in the
vicinity the damages and benefits of all
sewers constructed.
Mr. Painter was opposed to the general
tax. Under its provisions he thought
sewers would be built everywhere
through the city, and in' many cases in
sections which could do very well with
out them. He thought if a sewerage law
was adopted, the citizens of each district
of the city should be alldwed the privil
ege of constructing just such ones as
were needed,to be paid for by themselves.
Mr. Herman was opposed to all sewer
, age. He thought the city could do very
well as it was. If any property owner
wanted a sewer, he should build it him
self.
Mr. Painter said he was opposed to
consolidating-with Pittsburgh when the
-proposition was acted upon by thepeo
ple but if the citizens were to be taxed
in ' this manner for improvements he
would rather have consolidation.
Mr. Odin said he also objected to the
bill, because it allowed no appeaL No
matter how much injustice was suffered
by a citizen, he was compelled to put up
with it. He thought this was wrong.
Every man should havethe right of trial
by jury under every circumstance.
The 'Committee now returned and pre
sented a report, which, after being ills
cussed and am ended,was read aS follows:
WEIEB.EAB, The Councils of the City of
Allegheny
bays lately approved of an
act to be passed by the State Legialature,
enacting anew sewerage law which wilt
operate very unjustly and harshly against
many of the citizens of the said city by
imposdngonerous taxes where no benefits
are derived, therefore
Resolved, That we earnestly and re
spectfully request our Honorable Repre
sentatives in the StatifLegislature to use
their utmost endeavors to defeat the
same, or at least have the matter poet.
poned for the present.
Resolved, further, That we request our
City Councils to reconsider their action
approving the proposed bill, and that •
they make such a change as will tax
property only that is benefited bv sew
erage.
The report of the committee, Assn:tend
ed, was unanimously adopted.
On motion, Messrs. Eggers and Burch
field were appointed a committee to have
the resolutions forwarded to Harrisburg
and presented to the City Councils.
The meeting then adjourned.
