but little if any more than half of the
operatives. In the Scranton and Car

work. If these do not yield within a
few days to the movement, the strike
must come to its own. end. Should the
operatives attain a clearer perception of
the influences which animate their ac-
tion, they will be very likely to abandon
a position which the facts mark as un

in the Senate. Considering that these
opposition editors have always been the
noisiest'-of champions for State rights,
and that this Senatorial equality of the
States is admitted on all hands to be the
very foundation-stone of the State-rights'
theory, it is no wonder that everybody
should be on the broad grin, at the bare
suggestion of this new Democratic vagary.
But, after all, laughable as it is, therels
a serious feature about it, which really
looks like business. These journalists
have had such deplorable luck in the
eight years past, in writing down and
fighting down the Constitution in a lump,
that they are forced to revise their tactics,
and renew the war in detail. We really
cannot congratulate them upon the ab

Frankfort, 84f
As OPPOSITION ram is driven frantic
by the bare suspicion that the Gnuid
Army of the Republic is inclined to
adopt the Idea, so popular with the South
ern Democracy from 1861 to 'B5, of an
hereditary nobility. The Southern aris
tocracy; who have immemorially led our
doughface Northern Democracy by the
nose, borrowed 'their - Idea of an heredi
tary nobility from the black empire of
Bt. Domingo, where l the Duke of Lemon
ade and the Marquis of Ten Spots and
the Count of Satin Breeches adorned an
aristocratic but ebony court. Unfortu
nately, their rebellion failed, not for want
of Democratic sympathy, Harrisburg
conventions and all that, but because
their Itorthern doughface friends would
not tight as they talked—and the pro
posed Southern Democratic scheme of a:
titled nobility went to the wail. The
G. A. R. have not the remotest idea of
reviving it; they have shot too many of
the would-be nobility since 1881, to be at
all partial to the idea, which may remain
altogether an exclusive Democratic pre
tension. Ilet our neighbors have peace!
DEMOCRACY IN SPAIN
The dccisive vote by which the Spanish
Cortes, on Friday last, rejected the re
newed proposition for the establishment
of a republic, was in consonance with the
opinionsto which a large majority of the
Spanish people have been steadily trhe.
Republicanism has never been without
earnest min outspoken advocates, from the
day when the Queen was dethroned, but
it has , been equally evident, since that
first hour of revolutionary success, that
the popular sentiment and the convic
tions of the most* influential revo
lutideary leaders were too decided
ly monarchical, to leave any fair
basis for a reasonable hope of a purely
republican success. This was then so
evident to a careful observer, that we
were impelled, at a very early period of
the revolutionary movement, to advert to
the utter hopelessness of all the republi
can expectations, and to assure our read
ers that monarchism, in some limited and
responsible form, mast continue to be i
the State-policy of Spain. We perceive
the delays which attend the final solution
of her national crisis, but it has now come
to be admitted on all sides, that these de
lays are to be explained by the embarrass
ments of the selection among the candi
dates for the vacant crown, and that,upon
whosoever the lot may fall, he will be
made king by the divine right as the
people shall , interpret it, and that
he will reign, not as an absolute despot,
but as the crowned representative of an
authority paramount to his own—rthat of
an intelligent and altogether free peo
ple. Thus the Spaniards will maintain
the inslbmienmiceremoniale of a system
of government which enjojs the traill=
tional attachment of tbe- Iberian people,
bat vitalized and controlled by the largest
possible infusion of , those republican
ideas which equally underlie every-,form
of responsibility by governments- to the
• governed. Spanish 1110131114dain Pre
serves the shadow of the State, while re
publicanism wins the more effective vic
tory, in stainiing the eubstance with the
indelible impress of its protreisive ideas.
A POPULAR ERROR.
Among certain classes of people per
sons clothed with authority are obnox
cons, hated and despised. The rigid exe
cution of laws, by those charged with the
duty on their solemn oaths, is attended
with no pleasing features. The Judge at
tie bench, just and merciful, the lawyer,
who pleads faithftdly hie rinse, the , sher
iff, the jailor; - all are debbied and hated

other servant of the law, meets with the
4corn and hatred of the lower classes. If
he is conscientious in the discharge of his
duty and true to the solemn obligation
resting upon him, he finds that his blue
uniform has brought, him into disrepute,
and that large classes look upon him as
a tyrant, imbecile, object of scorn and
detestation and what not. His
pathway is not strewn with roses. He
is expected to discharge his duty ; to be
omnipresent. If anything wicked occurs
within a mile of hiszbeat, and he puts in a
late appearance, he is everywhere derided
as a coward. If he errata a turbulent
spirit, bent on mischief, and is seriously
Wounded by the desperado, j the public
are too willing 10 withdraw' sympathy
from him and award it to the blackguard
who has shown pluck and resistance. If,
however, in accomplishing the arrest, due
harshness is used to the prisoner, the
Policeman is set upon and abused by the
people, as a cruel tyrant, a brutal mon
ster, and too often the press join in the
clamor. it is very rarely that an arrest
is made without good grounds by the
police. Quiet, orderly_ and sober citizens
might walk the streets for centuries, at all
hours of the day and night, without be
ing interfered with by the gentlemen in
blue coats and brass buttons. They are
safe from insult ; safe from arrest.
It is too true' that bad men have, from
time to time, found place on the police
force. It is true that, even now, men
devoid of idea, ignorant and illiterate,
have prominent places in that arm of
municipal service; but, taken alto
gether, the members of the pollee
will conipare favorably, both in
point of honesty and intelligence,
with almost any like number drawn at
random from the community. Whether
good or bad, the great majority endeavor
to fearleasly discharge their duties, and
should be protected and encouraged by
the pCace loving portion of the people.
It is wrong, very wrong, to permit our
sympathies in every case to weigh against
them, and it is fearfully wrong to look
with an uncharitable eye on all their ac
tions. They are not infallible, may err
in judgment and do things which merit
censure, but we all should feel that they,
in ninety-nine cases out of an hundred,
endeavor to be right, and their heads;fiot
their hearts, are generally responsible for
shortcomings.
It is a popular error, deep rooted in
the people, to array themselves on the
side of offenders rather than that of those
charged with keeping - the pe!tcennd exe
cuting the local laws. le feeling is
degrading to gOod citizens. It is born
out of a sympathy with crime an crim
inals and not from an earnest desire to
see the one crushed and the other pun
ished. The playwrights of the present
age are largely responsible for this state
of feeling. They have felt the pulse of
the lower order of humanity, and discov
ered that burlesquing those charged with
the execution of laws will bring down
the galleries. Hence, it is, that, in nearly
every new play introduced, on oar the
atrical boards, the Justice 'of the Peace,
the Judge, the Mayor, and, last of all, the
policeman is caricatured in such manner
as to invite the scorn and coax the hatred
of the gods. It requires little genius and
talent to .make the point tell with effect.
Cowardice, intemperance, fear, imbecil
ity, impotence and an hundred other dis
graceful attributes mark the character of
the stage policeman, and all, acted up to
life, convey an impression of the ser
vants of authority anything but credita
ble. This obliterates entirely from the
minds of the young espeelally, all respect
for those charged with the execution of
the law, and imparts the impression that
the most clever thing to achieve in Ibis
world is to beat the head of a policeman.
There Is a great moral wrong in all this,
end'we trust the managers of our places
of amusement will see to it, that different
lessons are taught in the future.
Obedience 'to law and respect for
constituted authority is the beat evidence
of a people deserving liberty. Wholly
destroy this idea and the consequence to
society would be fearful. It seems natur
al to many to hate and despise authority.
The American people are not alone in this
peculiarity. The experience of all nations
is that servants of the law and guardians
of the peace are held in odium by the
masses. To obliterate this prejudice, to
elevate officers into respect and teach the
people that their 'happiness largely de
pends on the full and proper administra
tion of the laws, should be, the highest
,duty: of everlright thinking, intelligent
citizen, and the opposite 'course is thll of
danger.
A'GRAVE 111181`AUE.

of their resignation bad been reported

fairly' made their escape. bat the *maw
held, notwithstanding the geneml re-
quire E
tints of the State Constitution,
that t s case was peculiar, as being a
Fede I act, to be controlled by Federal
provisions, and that, as the Federal Con
stitution and laws were silent upon the
point of a needful quorum, he. should
hold the bare quorum present to be suffi
cient for the Federal business—and ac
cordingly ileclared the Article to 'tie le
gally ratified by the vote then taken.
We have no doubt that the ratification,
by the State authority, of an amendment
to the Federal Constitution is so clearly a
Federal act as to clothe the Federal au
thority with adequate power to prescribe
all the forms of proceeding—even in the
minutest details—by the State authorities
thereupon. Oar views on this head were
stated at length, several weeks since, by
way of commentary upon the joint reso
lution introduced by Governor Morton in
the Federal Senate, and which did in ex
press terms Prescribe 'what should consti
tute a legislative quorum for State' action,
upon any Federal amendment We regar
ded this declaratory resolution as a timely
and strictly legal expression of the correla
tive duties and powers of tlni Union and
of the several States, concerning all ques
tions of the Federal relations of the States.
But this joint resolution did riot pass
Congress; it was sent to a Committee of
the Senate, and never again heard of.
We regret this disposition . of a Measure
which was equally just arid necessary,
but we cannot supply its place' by any
arbitrarily constructive stretch ofthe pre
existing laws. For, we have just as little
doubt that, in the absence' of any Federal
regulations, constitutional or otherwise,
upon the subject, the time nnd manner
of State legislation upon any Federal
question remains wholly within the con
trol of the States themselves, and must
be conducted according to the existing .
and regular formalities of the ordinary
State business. In every other State,
of the twenty-one which have thus
1
tar "ratified the Article, - the s
ficiency of the State prerogative, lire
to the forms of proceeding, and in th
absence of any existing Federal req
ment, has been invariably suunririedan
acted upon, both as to quorums and the
votes. It will not do for our friends
Indiana to put themselres thus outside f
the conditions which every other Ste
has practically recognized, nor to asEnim
a power, the want of which has been e -
pressly declared, by their own ! ;Flenato
3fonron, in his unsuccessful proyamition
to supply it by a specific enactment.
Nor will it do for our friends elsewhere
to accept the sufficiency of this action in
Indhura. - We cannot wisely suffer I the
grave objections to which that action
amenable, to stand, as they may and w' ,
in the way of the clear and iniquestionable
ratification of the XVth Article, by the
required number of States, and' accord
ing to the established \ forms of their ordi
nary and regular legislation. A partizan
opposition may persist for a time in its
impeachment of the validity of the action
of she reconstructed Southern :Legisln
tu4s, on either the XlVth or the XVth
Articles, but this elamor ,is frivolously
without any jest foundation, end will
presently cease altogether. But we have
no right to expect that issue for
the opposition's objections tto this
Indiana business. Those objections are
sound and reasonable,—and must be
heeded. It will; not do to count the
XVth Article ratithalointil it receives the
assenting voice iof twenty-eight States
legally expressed,—according to those
forms which are alone binding in the ab
sence of any superior regulations,—of
which Indiana, 'as her Legislature at
tempted to vote last week, cannot be
counted as one. Neither her politicians
nor her. Speaker can supply thC : want of
Federal provision,nor supplant their own
State Constitution. Congress alone pos
sesses that right, whether she may or
may not exercise it.
The XlVth Article has triuinphantly
enprged fromall its trials, to the general
acceptance of the nation. The XVth is
of quite equal moment to the American
people, who cannot afford to jeopardize
its ultimate adoption by resorting to any
unworthy or manifestly illegal contri
vancesto secure the required vote. The
Article may win in the end without Indi
ana: it certainly must win, if at all, with
out such an illusory support %, tur Indiana
gave to it last week. Better that it should
wait a year, that - its triumph may be
finally beyond any debate. Sooner or

CANOI4BBIIIICI, PA., May 15; 1869
Massns. Enrrons :—As some very
kind sympathetic citizen, hailing from
Washington,. has through your columns
volunteered friendly advice, iund, seems
to desire peace, we wish to say that
'there is but one way to have peace, and
that is to do right. Do we boast when
we say that our character isble?
We deplore the controversy. =mid
gladly escape the necessity of criatinating
our neighbor ; but self defence is the
first law of nature. To defend our
right, is our duty. To demand justice is
honorable. To resent an injury done to
the cause of truth or equity by designing
men, is a christian privilege, and to fail to
to do so is cowardice, 'tie base. The loss
of the College to Canonsburg, the
cause of this controversy of which we
now write, is of no ordinary importance,
not that it is the all of Canonsburg, as
your correspondent remarks, or lather
that we regard it as our all. (Those who
desire "peace" should not seek to pro
voke or insult, as such a iremark and in
sinuation contemplates.) is very intim
ately connected with all the business re
lations of the citizens, and in this respect,
so far as a college is an advantageto, that
extent will the injury be, of which we
have a just cause to complain. What the
College is to-day, as a success, is due in a
great measure to the energy, devotion
and support of the citizens of Canonsburg
and vicinity. Then have they no
right to it ? Ab, there is no
one who says that you had no
right to it; but another has now taken
it from you, and now be good fellows, be
amicable, listen to us us "peace makers;"
it will make a bad spot of work to make
a fuss about it. And now, if .you would
go out and say don't expose us, don't
agitate this question; it will be bad for
you ; your reasoning would be as
specious and your advice}as well received.
No, Canonsburg has an heritage of
honor in Old Jefferson that is harder to
surrender, by her devoted friends, than
even her pecuniary advantage. The name
Is an honor, and it has honored us.
hose who by being long her enemies
use she was to their bantling a suc
cessful rival, are seeking to lay that honor
in the dust, and it shall be done only when
there is no longer any to defend. We
scorn . ourmock sympathy; we know
ri is our and dare defend them. And
now et us advise. A College to be
successful, must have at least public'
respect. To prosper must be fotwded , on
justice. To live must deserve public pat
ronage and sympathy. Your consolidated
College, as at present located,• does not
possess either of these eitud never will. So
die she must. There isr no escape, salt
peter could'nt save her. Then turn your
advice homeward, seek the truth then the
peace. Do justly, and the bleising will
follow. Take the beam out of your.own
eye and you will see clearly to take the
mote out of your brother's eye.
PAM PLAY.
Washington Items.
The Cabinet haa yet made no decision
on the question as to whether the Secre
tary of/ the Interior has authority of law
to grant three millions of subsidy to the
Atchit Branch of the Union Pacific
Railro ; but it is pretty evident that
'when i is made, it will be adverse, as the
Attorney General is known to be opposed
to it.
Secretary Fish is constantly in receipt
of letters from persons who are appointed
Consuls, and who have received their in
structlOns, declining the places because
they .ascertain that they cannot travel
about from place to place: When they
applied for Consulships they misappre
hended their duties. It is the opinion of
the Secretary that at least one-half of the
Consnlates3ately filled will be vacated in
six months.
The triple alliance story is effectually
exploded._ No representative of this or
any other, Government in Washington
credits Qt., statement, and if it has any
foundatioeCit is believed to exist simply
in a proposition made by Spain to France
and England, to form an alliance to re
sist the,so -called aggressions of the United
States towards Cuba. A proposition of
that kind, so far 2 is known not to have
been considered in London. So far as
England and Spain are concerned, not
withstanding the Cuban filibustering ex
peditions, the feeling between this coun
try and Spain is much more cordial, and
far better understanding exists between
us internationally, than between Great
Britain. and Spain. England has very
recently made the strongest remonstrances
which can be made, short of a declara
tion of war, to Spa ini against the seiz
ure of one of her corvettes and crew,
in British waters and on British territory.
The Mary Lowell case has been dexterous
ly thrown on English responsibility by
our Secretary 01 State.' The The United
States and Spain are at the present time
on better and closer relations than they
have been in many years. Mr. Roberts,
the Spanish Minister to this country, has
expressed no official dissatisfaction at the
course of the United States, so far as Cuba
is concerned, and is , perfectly satisfied
that the Administration, however, indi
vidually, it may sympathize with the
Cuban cause, will do nothing derogatory
to the honor of the United States as a
member of the family of nations. Our
neutrality laws, which are the strictestof
any nation in the world, have been and
will be rigidly enforced.
Secretary Fish stated to the Cabinet
that official intelligence did not con
firm the triple alliance story, and that he
did not deem further inquiry necessary.
The following appointment was made
of a Pennsylvania Postmaster':
Oreendale, Armstrong county--Alex-
Caldwell, vice G. Bowser, removed.: -
Instructions have been sent to the mill
•tary corninander in Georgia to 'institute 5
thorough' 'nomination into the recent
Ming of Mr. Atkins, a member of the
Georgia Legislature, and to find out, if
possible, the assassin. The military au
thorities are directed to use every means
in their power to put a stop to the al
' leged outrages which are stated to be
taking place not only in Georgia, but in
the other unreconstructed States.
The Secretary of State is strongly urged
to negotiate a Reciprocity Treaty .with
the British American Dominion, before
the next meeting -of Congress.
The President has resolved to appoint

LET U$ PROTECT OURSELVES.
The physical structure of the strongest human
being is vulnerable everywhere. Onr bodiesi are
endoWed by nature . with a certain negative new
er, which protects them, to some extent.from nn-
Whotesone inflaences; bubthis protection is im•
perfect, and cannot be safely relied an In un
healthy melons, or under circumstances of more
thin ordinary danger. Therefore, It Is wisdom;
It is prudence; It is common sense to . provide
against such contingencies; by taking an Awn-
DOTE ix ADVANCE; in other words, by fortifying
the system with Hostrr rims STOMACH-BIT
TERS—the molt complete protective against all
the epidemic and en , emic maladies that has ever
been administered in any corintry AS a remedy
for Dyspepsia. there no medicine that will
compare with It. Whoever suffers the bangs of
indt ertion. anywhere on the face of the earth
where HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BD TEES can
be procuied, does to voluntarily; for. as surely
as truth exists, tuts valuable Ton Wand ALTERA
TIVE would restore his disordered etomzen to a
healthy mndition. To the 'nervous it is also es•
necially recommendtd. and in cases of confirmed
co,stlpation it also affords speedy and permanent
'elle. In all cases of fever and ague the BIT
TERS is more potent than any amount of quinine,
while the most dangerous woes of bit ions fever
yield to its wonderful properties. Those who
have tried 'he medicine NMI never use another,
for any of the ailments which the' HOSTETTER
BITTERS professes so subdue. To those who
have not made the experiment we cordially re
commend an early application to the BITTERS
whenever they are strisken by disease of the ei
gestlve organs.
