from 20 to 50 feet. The coal is said to be
of a superior quality, and well adapted for
locomotive use. Its area embraces a field'
similar hi extent to the coal regions of

able on account of the scarcity of wood.

the law a ows. • It is needless tr, add that,
under Vile tilstribtitkirt of Vile partizan
forces, the intellect of the - pr Arty is wholly
successful in moulding its voting muscle
to the especial profit of the few leaders.
WE CANNoT do justice to the neat little
climax in yesterday's Post, unless we 'e
print it as follows:
First, the constitution, the bargain i of
union between the States was broken;
then the 'dames of sectional hate were
kindled; a geographical party was
formed; civil war was fought under the
solemn protestation that it was not to set
the negro free, but to restore and main
tain the government as it was; and so o 4;
under a succession of false preten
has blood been freely poured out,
mourning and distress sent into all quar
ters, .the nation been loaded with a
crushing debt, its high places occupied
by charlatan upstarts, waste and corruP•
Lion infused into all departments of the
State and Federal Governments, civil
law saperceded by military commissions,
and at last comes the grand consumma
tion for which all these wrongs and
curses have been invoked. The question
is fairly put to the people in Ohio anti
this State- in Ohio to ratify or not; in
Pennsylvania to rescind the unauthor
ized ratification of the last Legislature,'
And on this the Democracy join issues
with their opponent% confident in the
soundness and justice of their.csase.
Our neighbor's frankness thus ;allays
the growing public suspicion that t was
about to join with its party in goinr back
upon its political record of tke ten,
years past. Of this, there seems to be;
no longer, really a shadow of danger.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania cling
to their old ground—that Republicanism
violated the constittition, kindled the
flames of sectional hate, formed a geo
•graphical party and inaugurated the civil
war—all for the sole purpose of establish
ing negro equality under the XVth Arti-_,
de. That is good strong ground and we'
hope the Post and its friends will stick to
it like men. We shall meet them there
again, and ask for nothing better.

THE PHILADELPHIA PLATFORM.
We copy the following paragraph from
the Pittsburgh Commercial of the 25th:
To the resolution indorsing the admin
istration of Governor Geary as wise, eco
nomical and honest, and particularly
commending his efforts to restrain the
evils of special legislation, an -amend
ment was submitted, "pledging the Re
publican party of • Pennsylvania to re
trenchment of public expenses, and a
reformation of abuses in the management
of public affairs." This amendment was
rejected as irrelevant to the body of the
resolution.
The proposed amendment, as our neigh
bor quotes it, was wholly unobjectiona
ble; more than that, its rejection pre
sents another blunder similar to that
which our District Attorney's Conv'en-
tion made in Allegheny county, in reject
ing a resolution of equally commendable
purport
We confess that we have been at a loss
kitmderstand how the shrewd politicians
of the State Convention could have been
induced to "go back" upon such a proper
expression of Republicanism. But our
inquiries on this point have reached a per.
featly satisfactory solution, drawn from ;
the unwritten history of the Philadelphia I
meeting. The facts abundantly explain
the defeat of the amendment; indeed, un
der the peculiar circumstances, even the
Mosaic Decalogue would have fared ho
better and Might have been pitched out
of the wind o w . These; facts wen as
follows:
The amendment was offered by Mr. M.
S. Quay, of Beaver, and sent to the
- Clerk's desk. It was such an illegible
scrawl that the Clerk could not read it,
and he sent it back to Mr. QUAY, the stip-I
po,d author, to read it himself. But'
even he had to give it up,—and, confess
ing that It was proposed by an outsider
in the lobby, this outsider was sent for,
as the only man In Philadelphia who
could decipher the manuscript. The
blushing author at last came to the front
and read his composition to the Con
vention. Most_nnfortunate disclosure !
The thing - was good enough in itself,
but no respectable gathering of Pennsyl
vania politicians could stand the pater
nity thin revealed. The amendment was
prOmptly voted down, and its unhappy
author, Mr. C. D. BRIGHAM, the nominal
editor of the Pittsburgh Commercial, sub
sided forever from the scene! It was his
first and last appearance on that stage,
and on the whole was not a Educcess.
Hereafter, for the sake of so good a
cause, we implore our neighbor not to
imperil even the most selrevident truth
by exhibiting himself publicly as its
champion. "The blunder was a grievous
one," and we remonstrate against its re.
petition under any circumstances what,
ever. - •
WORTH THINKINd ABOUT.
The ixditicatainvass of '69 bil'ennsyl
vania presents objects worth contending
for. The . 'Supreme Court of the Com
mon.i alth hall been too long administer
ing ju tice to its people in the interests of
a part i with which that people have had
no sympathies for many a year. Of late,
circutilatances have enabled us to `check
this mischief by placing upon the beach
a temporary majority politically in ac
cordance with the prevailing sentiment
of the State. But Judge Wimuems holds,
his place,—and thereby excludes a Demo
cratic preponderance—only by the Excl.
entive appointment, and unless he be re
chosen by the people the Supreme Court'
I
will again, have a majority of its Judges,
of that party. Is it prOPosed by any Re
publlcat , with his eyes open,ito surrender
that tribunal to the control of the oppoel
ton,by.the failure to cast one whole 'vote
for Mort W. WiLuems ?
Again the . Governor of Pennsylvania
takes part In our State legislation. The
veto power gives to 'him practically a con,

tainly be exercised for political ends.
The Governor whom we choose in Octo
ber next, will hold his office from Janu
ary '7O for three years. At the session
beginning in January '7l, -the Common
wealth is to be re -apportioned for legit,-
litive districts, and the bill which shall
make this division cannot 'become a law
without the Executive approval. Elect
jPg an opposition Gdyernor in '69, it will
- do us no good'ln thUt respect to
pile up the heaviest majorities in
the two Houses in the year following,
for that Executive can 'and will constitu
tionally defy them all. What say our
Republicans to this? Shall we throw
away our control of the next op
portionment this tail, by withholding the
smallest portion, of our votes from
Joni* W. GEARY? Let this business be
well considered by, our friends, before
they shall resolve to indulge any trans
lent pique, or humor any passing dissa
tisfaction with the party, by withholding
their hearty efforts from the election of
the Republican nominee.
This matter of the State apportionment
is a very important one, and must not be
ignored in the coming canvass. The
Governor ana Senators whom we choose
this year are to have part in shaping that
division, and it is'of the last consequence
that the Republicans of Pennsylvania
spare no efforts to secure that part to the
right political hands. Otherwise, a mis
chief will be done which it may require
the efforts of a generation to repair.
THE FORT WAYNE RAILWAY.
The corporation which has constructed
and heretofore controlled the railway
from Pittsburgh, via Fort Wayne, to Chi
cago, perishes forever from an active ex
istence, 80_ far as concerns the public,
within a week from this date. Its line of
road is absorbed into that of the Penn
sylvania Railway, which hereafter is to
assume its absolute management, work
ing it as the main Western division of
one great line from the sea-board to that
point in the distant Like country of the
Northwest Hereafter, Pittsburgh be-
Comes the central depot of this magnifi
cent trunk-railway, and, for the conve
nience of its operations, cannot fail to
present to its management considerations
of vastly greater local importance than
ever before. Covering here also the in
tersection of the main - line with that
valuable branch—itself a work of
first-class magnitude--which finds at
present its Western terminus at Cin
cinnati, and with other roads which
may be regarded as cordially and per.
petually affiliated with the principal
trunk inemutuality of interest•our city,
it seems to us, has gained largely, in its
title to the just consideration of a cor
poration which is hereafter to find itself
less prepared than ever to disregard our
local claims, even were it so inclined.
It is henceforth to be, more than ever be
fore, within the reach, as within the com
mon interests, of the city and of the
Pennsylvania Railway, to be very
useful to each other, and we rely upon
the sagacity of the corporation and upon
the large public spirit of our municipality
to make the still closer and more in
separable connection of the future years
a constant,source of their mutual advan
tage. Neither can well afford to disre
gard the legitimate claims of theother,
under the new condition of things which
_give to-Pittsburgh the key - of the railway
position, while its outlets in either direc
tion are completely under one corporate
control. ••' -• 2
Bnkin the midst of these
not
for the futhre r we should not be unmind
ful of what has heen already achieved. It
is a debt of lasting gratitude which Pitts
'burgh owes to the skill; the patience and
the courage displayed in the management
of the Fort Wayne road in the past four_
teen years. Such qualities, which have
won so complete a 'triumph in thiet per
fected connection-with the vigorous heart
of the West—for that part of our inhab
ited civilization was as far removed from
us fourteen yeas since in the valley of
the Upper Milsissippl, as it is today on
the other slope of the Rocky Atotuitaine,;—
me , it a distinct and grateful recognition
from our people. To GEORGE W: CASS,
and to the gentlemen who have been asso
ciated with bim in the fourteen years of
struggle ; which Was'ere _ this time a•;vlc
tory, and which closes now with an as
sured position as permanent as it is
.hon
orable in the material history of the
Republic, no
,o small share of the public
acknowledgements is due,'for the asp
clone counsel and the faithful administra
tion, through many a serious trial, which
have at last Made - the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railway a magnificent
success. Mr. CABS now retires front the
place which' he has filled for nearly all
. these years, but'not without - leaving be

American citizen might be proud. In
the great work, which owes so.much of
its accomplishment to his own individual

of his persevering fidelity, as the Presi

civic or political triumphs in his exPeri

he is about to appear prominently in our ,

into an indifferent politician, forbid that

!Meeting of Citizens at the Second Ward
School House Relative to Grouting the
Rlght.ot Way to the Pittsburgh ton _nellsviiie Railroad Through Cherry
Alley A Remonstrance Preamble
and Rssolutions.
t A_ public meeting of the citizens of
Pittsburgh relative to granting the right
of way through Cherry Alley to the
Pittsburgh tit Connellsville Railroad was
held at the Second Ward School House,
at eight o'clock last evening.
On motion of Dr. B. Arthurs, Thomas
Ewing, Esq., was called to the chair, and
Thos. S. Bigelow, Esq., was chosen Sec
retary.
The Chairman stated the object of the
meeting to be the consideration of the'
question above stated, and announced
mat the meeting was ready for business.
Brief remarks were made by . several
persons present, after which, on motion
of Mr. Wilson, Mr Hughart, President
of the Pittsburgh and Connellsville
Railroad Company, was called upon to
address the meeting.
Mr. Hughart, in a brief address, stated
his reasons for asking the right of way,
and presented many forcible and incon
trovertable arguments as to the advan
tages to be derived from the grant, both
by the city and Company.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY MR HUI:MART.
Dr. Bruce—l would like to aski Mr.
Hughart, how long the Company intend
to' uses_lherry alley?
Mr. hughart—Say for at least two,
three or live years, with a single track;
it would only be temporary, or until the
necessary outlet could be obtained by the
Water street route.
Dr. Bruce—Would you, Mr. Hughart,
agree to remove the track and replace
the alley in good repair at the expiration
of say three or live years?
Mr. Hughart—Yes; on behalf of the
company I would agree to that, for at
the expiration of that time the lease of
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad
will be effected or its independence fully
established.
Mr. D. W. C. Carroll to Mr. Hughart
—Would the lease of the Fort Wayne
Railroad affect the route as proposed
over Cherry alley; in other words, do
you want the route now; would it be of-,
any benefit under the existing lease?
Mr. Hughart—As I understand nego
tiations are pending for the lease of the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad by
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, and
their demands for the north end of
Cherry alley is for the ostensible purpose
of defeating the objects of the Connels
ville Railroad. The lease of the Fort
Wayne Railroad, unless the lease of the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad is
consummated, will not interfere with the
route over Cherry alley.
In reply to a question of Mr. Ogden,
Mr. Hughart stated that it was decided
to run the freight trains all by night.
A remonstrance, signed by some twen
ty persons, which was said represented
over $1,000,000 worth of property on
Cherry alley, was then read:
•
PANAMBLE AND RESOLUTION—RIORT OP
WAY DOWN WATIi,RbTENKT.RECOM Mh N
~DND.
Mr. T. S. Bigelow read the following
preamble and resolution:
WHEREAS, We are informed that the
Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad
Company are about to apply to Councils
for_the privilege
.of, laying a track upon
and along Cherry alley from Water to
Liberty street, in order to afford that road
a connection with the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh Railroad; and whereas,
,the
granting of said privilege would not only
greatly depreciate the value of property
abutting on and in the immediate vicini
ty of said alley, but by crossing seven of
the main thoroughfares of the city will
endanger the livea and render inconven
ient the passage of the vast multitude of
citizens who daily pass to and from these
thoroughfares; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we believe the use of
Cherry alley by said railroad company
would be in the highest degree injurious
to ffie interests of the city and the owners
of property in the vicinity thereof, cross.
ing, as it would, main avenuesl at right
angles to the point of steepest gde, and
thereby endanger travel then besides
F
interfering with the use of aeve al of oar
ec ,
most important churches; that we are
not hostile to the Connellsvilleroad, but
sympathise with its late struggle for ex
iiitence and now against the effort to
destroy its usefulness by cutting it off
from western and northwestern connec
tions, and wetnost respectfully request
Councils not t o grant said road said priv
ilege of passing along Cherry alley, but
at the same time Would recommend the
granting of the right to pass down Water
street, and from the Point up Duquesne
Way to such connection inS it may be able
to make.
Mr. Ogden stated that Mr. Hnghart had
informed him that the Company did not
particularly desire the route over Cherry
alley; it had only been suggested as the
most feasible temporary route. But the
object df the 4 ,Connellaville :Railroad was
to secure a webtern connection for their
road, and if any gentlemen in the meet
ing hid a more practical route to pro-
pose he would be glad to hear it. He
was a friend of the Connellsville Rail
road, and favored the resolution [grant
ing -the Company the right, of way over
Water street.
. Mr. Floyd asked how the company
proposed crossing the Allegheny river,
in case the Water street route was se
cured.
Mr. Hughart stated that a bridge high
enough to allow boats to' pass under
would be built at that point, and by way
of information he would state that there
was a company who had a charter for a
partratite bridgeat the point. The Con
nellaville Company propose effecting
a plan with said company /or the
building of the bridge, suited to
_the
uses of the company, as well as for the
purposes for which it was originally in
tended.
Dr.,Bruce moved to substitute the fol
lowing: That the City Councils grant right
of way over Cherry alley tti the Pittsburgh
and Counellavnle Railroad Company for
three years after the reconstruction of
the track, nrovidingsaid Company enter
in bond in thesum of ;25,000 to remove
said track at the expiration of three
years. The Doctor stated that he under
stood that a New York clique were ne
gotiating for the lease of Cleveland and
Pittsburgh Railroad, and it was their in
tention to run the road over into the city
at the Point, erect depots, dto., and carry
on their business there.
Mr. Wallace moved to extend the time
to four years.
Mr. Leonard offered a substitute that
the City Councils be instructed to con
sider and afford the Connellsville Rail
road all the necessary facilities for con
necting with the western railroads by
means of the tunnel, but to oppose and
not to grant them the right of way over
any streets or alleys north of the tunnel,
and Particularly Cherry alley. .
, Mr. J. M. Qazzam favored the resoin
thin.
Mr. John Wilson here moved that the
meeting take no further action on the
question, but that the subject be referred
back to the Railroad Committee with in
structibne to report at the next meeting
of citizens to be convened, at the call of
the Okairman, a plan lot the Oonnella.
vile Railroad to make a western connec-
The Chairman then stated that the
question now before the house was the
amendment of Dr. Bruce to grant the .
Connelsville Railroad the right of way
over Cherry alley for three years. The
amendment was lost.
A;motisn was then made and adopted
instructing the Councils to favorably con
sider the Water street route, and adopt
an Ordinance providing for the granting
of said right.
The meeting then adjouned.
THE SUNDAY LAW.
From Pnrdon, page 924, we take the
following as the law in relation to the
pursnance of worldly employment on
Sundity :
3. ,If any (c) person shall do or perform
any worldly employment or business (d)
whatsover on the Lord's day, commonly
called Sunday, works of necessity and
charity only excepted, (e) shall use or
practice any unlawful game, shooting,
spdrt,or divendonwhatsoever on the same
day, and be convicted thereof, every such
perrion so offending shall, for every Ruch
offense (A) forfeit and pay four dollars,
(i)Ito be levied by distress; or in case he
all refuse or neglect to pay the
sai sum, or goods and chattels
ca not be found, whereof to levy
the same by distress; he or
she shall suffer. six days' imprison
ment in the house of correction of the
proper county; Provided; always, That
nothing .herein contained shall be con
strued to prohibit the dressing of victuals
in private families, bake houses, lodging
houses, inns and other houses of enter
tainment, for the use of sojourners,
travelers or strangers, or to hinder water
men from landing their passengers, or
ferrymen from carrying over the water
travelers, or persons removing with their
families on the Lord's day, commonly
called Sunday, nor to the delivery. of
milk or the necessaries of life before nine
o'clock in the forenoon, nor after five
o'clock in the afternoon of the same day.
4. Provided always, That every such
prosecution-shall be commenced within
seventy-two hours after the offense shall
be committed.
(c) This. act is binding on the Jews,
and others who keep the seventh day as
their. Sabbath. As a civil and political
institution, the establishment and regu
lation of the Sabbath is , within the just
'powers of the civil government. The
acts in favor of liberty of conscience are
not inconsistent with the Sunday laws:
these are not intended to enforce reli
gion, but to protect the social customs of
the people.
(d)! Travelling is not within the act.
But a carrier driving his team along the
highway is liable for the penalty. And
driving a public conveyance for the trans
portation of passengers, Is not a work of
necessity, withiu the exception_of the
act. The travelling which is not forbid
den is that by private conveyance; the
running of public conveyances within
the prohibition. The act embraces every
kind of wordiy employment, whether in
the exercise of a person's ordinary call
ing or not. But it does not include such
household or family work as pertains di
rectly to the proper duties, necessities
and comforts of the' day, such as the
driving of the family to church, by n ser
vant, in his master's private conveyance.
Under this act an executory contract
made on Sunday is void. • But it does not
avoid an executed contract consummated
on Sunday.
(e) The hire of a carriage on Sunday
by a son, to visit his father, creates a
legal contract. A verdict may be taken
on Sunday. And a will may be taken on
that day, where there is danger of imme
diate death, or.a well grounded belief of
the existence of danger.
(h) One penalty CACI only be incurred
in one day for exercising a person's bu
siness on a Sunday.
(i) See act A l leg heny 1855, increasing
the penalty in county to $25,
and the imprisonment to" be no: less thin
ten and not more than thirty days, and
giving jurisdiction to the Mayors of Pitts
burgh and Allegheny, and the burgesses
of the several boroughs in that county.
—The carrying of passengers in a rail
way car, in a city, on Sunday, is unlaw-'
ful, and will be restrained by injunction.
'at the cost of the parties aggrieved. 23
Leg. Int. 340.
The following is the law in relation to
taverns, saloons, &c. :
5. All persons who are found drinking
and tippling in alehouses, taverns, or
other public house or place, on the first
day of the week, commonly Called Sun
dantrany part thereof,• shall for every
Sffence forfeit and pay one shilling and
ixpence to any constable that shall de-
Mand the same, to the use of the poor;
and all constables are hereby empowered,
and by virtue of their office required, to
search public houses and places suspect
ed to entertain such tipplers, and then,
when found, quietly to disperset . but in
ease of refusal, to bring the persons so re
fusing before the next justice of the
_peace who may commit such offenders to pol
the :Pocks, or bind them to their good T
behaviour. as to him shall seem reghis- T
ite. And the keepers of such alehouse's, 7

shall maintenance or tolerate any such tart
practices, being convicted thereof, by the TI
view of a single magistrate, his own con— om
fassion, or the proof of one or more ored and

felt and pay tenshillings, to be recovered so:
as and for the uses above said. eau
• 6. Provided always ' That nothing in of tl
this act be construed to prevent victual- r
ling houses or other public house or so c,
place from. supplying the necessaryoo. this
casions for travellers, inmates, lodgers wen
or others, on the first day o&the week, tent]
with victuals and drink in asbderation,
