THE REGISTRY LAIR' ,SUSTAINED.
The Supreme Couf.t, after an exhaus
tive examination, prOnounces in favor of
the, Registry Law of last winter, as a
constitutional enactment. This decision
was'rendered at Philadelphia yesterday,
and our meagre telegraphic report barely
covers the leading points adjudged.
A vexed question' is at ,
last settled,
finally and by an authority from which
'there is no appeal. The honest people of
this Commonwealth are safely delivered,.
by this judgment, from much the greater
part of that varied scheme ,of fraud and
outrage by which partizanship has so
often heretofore contrived to overlay and
smother the expression of their opinions
and wishes at the ballot box. Hereafter,
no more Philadelphia frauds, no more
coloniiing and repeating, no more Clear
field villainies, no more Democratic, ,
elec
tioneering of that sort which tramples
Upon all law, arid which has not even
stopped at murder to compass'a political
truiimph! The suffrage is henceforth to
be effectually protected in honest harids,
and to every hand entitled to hold it,—
and no other hand can touch it.
Had this Constitutional law prevailed
, two yeais since, we should• not now have
to regret the partizanship of one Judge
who has dissented from the righteous ver
dict of his associates. Never a Justice of
that Court would Mr. SEVARSWOOD have
been—to protest, as he now does, against
a decision which in effect declares himself
an intruder-had a registry7law then ex
isted to protect the suffrage from the un
-1 lawful devices of his friends. He owes
his seat to the success of such shameful
practices as this law has been expressly
framed to check, and to punish. , It was
not to be expected that he would unite in
upholding legislation which Puts his own
re-election quite out of the possibilities.
But it into be regretted that his Democrat
ic associate, `Justice Tnoupsou, should
have been unable to/ rise above the low
pbttke of mere partizanship. In declining
to assent to this /judgment of the Court,
he has missed an admirable opportunity
to vindicate his higher regard fin' that
pare justice which is the essence of an
jntelligent_ democracy of opinion. He
had not SELABBWOOD'S temptation, al
though he may anticipate sharing in
Sr / mudescent.
The
ultimate
,
The law stands vindicated and declared.
Henceforth, it is to be respected and
obeyed by all the people of the Common
wealth. Liberty is wholly free, since it
is purged from all the perils \:if license.
Our next October's vote, however full,
will be an licinest one. And so, we abide
its result contentedly, leaving complaints,
now or then, to a partizanship which an
honest vote never satisfies..., .
VAGUE .ACCUSATIONS
The Court of Quarter Sessions has re
sponded to that extraordinary '
application
from its Grand Jury, of which we re
marked a few - days &co. The opinion
'of Judge STERRETT thereon was given
yesterday, and we print it in full. It is a
cogent and exhaustive resume of the ex
isting law, clearly exhibiting the impro
pfiety of the submitted propositions, and
wholly;deiying their authority.
To the concluding Paragraphs, in the
opinion of the Court, we invi,M the espe
cial attention of-our readei,s. It may
there be seen how easy it is, for those
who may be cognizant of any truth in
"rumors and newspaper accusations," to
secure their investigation in a strictly
,legal Form. It will be there seen, also,
how "the malicious and .cowardly" might
use the.powers for which the Grand Jury
had so unwisely asked, "as a cover for
persecution," turning that Inquest into a
"detective organization," an "inquisi
tion," at the mere call of common rumor,
or after the idle inventions of unprinci
pled journalism.
The people of * Allegheny are sensible
of a) marked obligation to the. Court,
which thus decisively frowns upon the
vague and indiscriminate impeachment,
without_an effort at proof, of citizens,
whether in public or private life. The
forms of public justice are thus vindica
ted, and the rights of the individual are
protected. In that judgment, a simple
truth, of the highest public and personal
moment, is maintained and enforced,
With a directness of application which
must at all times have an especial value.
It is seen that a wide gulf separates the
vague and loose talk of the streets, the
"cowardly and malicious persecution"
H of mere rumor, in and out of the public
Press,—from the dignity of a respectable ,
accusation,` preferred in <a sincere zeal
for justice, or prosecuted through the ac
cessible, but orderly channels which In
vite all good citizens to the pursuit, detec
tion and punishment of crime.. .
It is especially fortunate, at this time
that the public mind should be thus en
lightened as to the real value of the vague
rumors, in the streets and in some of our
journals' which have been heard, so freely
of late. Until theie shall be revealed as
Upon some responsible 'authority, honest
enough and confident enough to prosecute
them in theonly legal way, the people of
, Allegheny will find no difficulty in re
garding them as malicious and cowardly
slanders . , invented for some base motive
and persisted in, in a - flagrant defiance of
the law, of the public sense and of com
mon decency.
We take pleasure in exculpating the
members of the Grand Jury front the sus
picion of any unfair intent, In making the
application which has been thus decisive,
lv denied. We are quits sure that they
,voted from upright motives,.. although
Willt.s:rimarkabletgoorance of the law.

our belief that, individually, or as a body,
they were misled by outside influences,
which ought, to be exposed to public rep
rehension, and perhaps to the just respon
sibilities which could then be visited upon
them. Such influences •could scarcely
fail to be recognized as malicious and cow
' Irdly, abusing the Grand Jary-room as a
cover for persecution. Such n was clearly
the intent, none the less that the scheme
- has utterly failed of its purpose.
THE jrlAlt OF SAFETY
A. porr espondent urges the need for a
more perfect communication with the
Lakes, upon the attention of our people.
f
It is subject upon which we have written
thud, heretofore, but which is by no
1 •
metu s exhausted. Nothing is clearer,
among the promises of our material future,
Omit that:the manufacturerit of Pittsburgh,
in the absence of vigorous and" well di
rected efforts •to the contrary, must see
their formerly predominant influence in
that depai == ent of western trade,
gradually but : rely slipping away
from them. 'We depend already,
in a large degree, our, supplies
of the metallle • ores, upo = a broken
,
system of carriage from a - far dista I lake
port: This description of freight is =it
one in which the absence of competition
permits much expensive handling. The
transfer now reguired,•fr.om vessel to car,.
at die ports of Erie or Cleveland, with
the increased cost of the railway transit
thente to Pittsburgh, over thtit of a sim
ple water carriage, in unbrokekt bulk, and
in the 'same bottom, and by a canal deep
enough to float the Escanaba trader, is
just so much of 6, discriminating tax
!against our manufacturers, and in favor of
those more fortunately located either
- upon the lake shore, or convenient to a
more accessible fuel.
Undolibtedly, the near-by markets for
Our iron will be made more and more
valuable by the growth .of the adjoining
populations in numbers and wealth, • and
it is possible that here mai!, be found, in
the corningiind not very far distant fu
ture, a demand co-extensive with a capa
city for supply whi'fh it has - been the
Pittsburgh fashion to boast of as illiratt
able-Tbut we do not regard the fact as
probable. Itather„we can foresee a corny
paratively early day, when the iron-mas
ters of Erie, Cleveland, the Mahoning
valley, and of the new district of Indi
ana which has of late been found to con-.
tain an abundance of the /ipost suitable
Coals, will enter into these near-by mar
kets of ours, and prove, by their effective
competition, that even these markets are
, to be ours no more.
The ore and theluel tiff/ come together
by the shortest cut, with an itresistible
attraction.
.It is the length of that cut,
with the expenses of handling and
of a more costly carriage for a part
of the way by rail, which alone
stands now, and will stand : more and
more if unrelieved, in the way of Pitts
burgh interests. We have here every
thing else requisite—the skilled labor,
the capital, the enterprise, and the fixed
"plant" which will - easily double, in any
twelve month, our present production.
It only remains to shorten, or cheapen
which is die same thing, that cut which
now separates ore from fuel and skill, to
tas
confirm the Pittsbnrgh iron trade in its
old and Went predominance throughout
i
the rui which the Ohio drains and
waters. -
There is but one way to do this. The
ore shipped at Escanaba and Marquette
must be laid down herein unbroken bulk
—and that can only be accomplished by
the construction of a canal hence to the
Lake, of capacity which shall float the
Upper Lake schooners directly to our
levee. Such a canal will cost something.
Will it cost more than we are certain to
lose, II without itf And how long must
we wailbto ascertain either figure?
We like to look these matters square in
the face, and to use plain words in dis
cussing them. We do not like to share
in the general apathy, with which our
ii6n-trade seems to surrender itself to the
gentle but mighty current which bears
material interests, of the greatest value to
Pittsburgh, down, down, to be stranded
hopelessly at last, while an earnest,
'
timtime?effort in the right direction, and
with .1i e
means which await our willing
hands, would avert the peril and restore
to us all that we have lost.
REPUBLICAN. PERIL a,
AND EN-
COURAGEMENT.
The year, after a presidential election
has always been perilous to the political
party that triumphed'`, therein, and in an
especial degree if they were in the as
cendancy immediately preceding the con
test. Nothing happens more naturally
than this, and for these reasons :
1. A deep popular agitation is necessa
rily followed by a period of repose. This
apathetic condition is naturally propor
tioned to the preceding tension. -In the
political world, as in the physical, action
and reaction are precisely equal.
2. A presidential victory involves the
distribution of honors and emoluments,
and this caunotbe accomplished without
offending more than are suited. On
an average there are twenty appil•
cants for every place to be filled, and
each one is confident that his claims aro
paramount . to those of either of his coin
petitors. Then each applicant has his
friends, - who take his rejeetton. to heart,
as compassed without cause, and perhaps,
by unworthy means.
3. Wherever a government exists those
charged with the duty of adminlsteringit
are assailed with general accusitione
seriuptiOm There never has been a
President. in this country so , upright as to
escape denunciation on this head. Even
Washington was berated worse than any
of his 'successors during the last thirty
years. It is so the world over., People
will not pay taxes without enjoying the
immemorial privilege .of / grumbling.
Doubtless some dishonest and unserupu•
lous men do get into high places, and by
bad practices furnish excuse for a general
outcry against corruption; but whoever
looks fairly into the matter,in this country,
will find that the majority of the men who'
s have-teen
conspicuous in politics have .
either died poor Cr barely in circumstan- - .
ces of rdlnary pecuniary comfort. Sev
eral o the Presidents were reduced' to
great, traits during their later years. Of
all thel surviving Governors of this Com
monvrealth not one -is rich. Few men
who have served long hi 'Congress have
approached the end of life with a liberal
competency unless they .made, it before
emerging from private rands: . . This is
,equally true, of Cabinet ' Ministers.
Representatives ; at first class foreign
courts are invariably subject to heavy
losses, the salaries allowed not more than
half defraying the expenses.
4. Since the establishment of the In
ternal Revenue Sygiem, taxes and offices
i b axe been multiplied bayond all former
of the most orli nary observers. Happily,
however, as is dlyclosed in the last reports
of the Treasury Ijepartment, the new ad
ministration 'is succeeding admirably in
stopping these' sources of demoralization.
and in removing causesof complaint.
The increased revenue nO , r received will
serve as a fair index to guttge the amount
of fraud inflicted, through the •conni
vance of officers recently re,moved.
- In addition to these general reasons for
apathy,' there is this year a special one.
.A.giong the men who have then most
prominent and influential in the Republi
can ranks, are, a considerable number of
Abolitionist's., They have been in poli
tics not for the sake of honors, or emolu
ments, or ease, or, the esteem of friends
and acquaintances; but forthe vindication
of the cardinal ideas of Liberty, Equality
and FraterOy. , For'years they were ad.
counted as pie offscourings of the earth.
In church, in state, and in social life, they
were cruelly derided as "pronounced en
emies of the country and of religion."
From the press, the platform and the pul
-1 pit. they were, assailed with equal-
bitter /
ness and vituperation. The storm of ob.
loquy to which they were exposed did not I
shake their faith in ultimate triumph, nor
did It induce them to truckle to the lead
ers-of popular opinion / It rather devel
oped in them a superior strength of 'char
acter, through which they were enabled
to question and try all opinions; to sift
- the real from Pie seeming,• and to awaitl
in unshaken confidence the decisionof
the future.
These men now see the end of all their
labors and sufferings accomplished, and
are satisfied. Even while they yet live
the ideas and principles they adhered to
through abounding contumelies are vindi
cated, and by the adoption of the XYth
Amendment will be fully incorporated
into the Constitution of which they were
in myriad slanders and libels pronounced
to be the most dangerous and unrelenting
enemies. No wonder they, feel like put
ting their armor off, and taking a season
of rest before they - depart hence to be'
known among men no more forever)
Their sturdy shoulders will not hencefor
ward be ielt at the wheel as in former days.
An active•moral force and a dominating
intellectual power, pass, not into opperAi
tion, but into a condition of comparative
quiescence. Of course, a crop of young
men are ready to talie the place of those
veterans; and herein is the reason for not
failinginto despondency.
We mention thes6 facts that the Repub
lican leaders in Pennsylvania may com
prehend the - situation; and gird .up their,
loins to meet it with resolution. They
have an arduous work to do, but they aro
abundantly competent to the full.perform
ance of all: the responsibilities resting
upon them. .In a few days the Democrats
will : formally draw out their array, by
designating their standard bearer and in
scribing on•their colors the Issues they
mean to make. `Auto both these points,
they are in trouble. For the gubernato
rial candidate, their choice balances be
tween two millionaires- 7 one ot the East
and the other of the Weetfor hOwever
Much the masses may prefer Democracy
of any conceivable Sort, their leaders are
in social life, intensely aristocratic, and
will always remain so. The chances are
that the aspirant whose money-bags are
heaviest will secure the prize. As to
principle, the dilemma is moatperplexing.
AU their former doctrines have fallen
hopelessly into disrepute, so that ,a
revival of them is altogether impossible.
So far as the measures they propose& bore
any proper relation to their definite ideas,
they too have become unsuitable and even
impossible. The old animus survives
just as, the 'tongue of a serpent will hiss
atter its head is severed ftcm its body; and
so the Denton:eta will continuo to appeal
to the passions sad prelndices of all
"lewd fellows of the baser sorts"- against
the blacks,

claimed in time to have the election laws

will have the ballot in !their hands.
before . October; and then the Democratic
occupation of scoffing at them will be
gone. ! •
For our part, we
,care nothing what
principles Or, purposes the Democrats
may avow. We shall not judge them by
their professions, but by their record—by
that judgment which, through successive
years,'they deliberately made up against
themselves. Individual repentance is
not, only conceivable, -but of cons ant
occurrence. The repentance of a/politi
cal party surpasses our concepti7n of the
possible. We have heard of it, by ‘ the
hearing olthe ear, but iVitas always
proved to be a gigantic / deception and
hypocrisys So soon asthe necessity for
dissimulation has paseed away, the 're
pentance has bee recanted, and the old
deformity , di,rdaYed - with unblushing

• . Day.:
•
MESSRS. EDITORS: 4n an .editoriiil in
the GAZETTR of July 3d, entitled "Proof
Furnished," reference is made to the
Augsburg Confeision in a way liable to
do injustice to that venerable symbol and
to the very large body of Christians who
'embrace it. The editorial takes exception
to &.rkiin expressions in the seventh .
res
olution4dopted at the meeting of citizens
of the preceding Thursday, in which
those intending to take part in the Sun
day desecratiotf: are warned that "they
must be regarded. as 'deliberately declar
ing war upon our institutions and alining
to destroy the foundations of 'good order
and of public morals, and we shallte
: , constrained to'regard g and treat them as
the prononnced enemies of our country
and our liberties." The editorial, com
menting on this; says: "Will any sensi
ble man seriously pretend that the Ger
man Eyangelical Lutheran miniaters and
membership of these cities and elsewhere
are bad men, opposed to good order and
public morals, and enemies of the country,
and its liberties because: they follow the
venerable Augsburg Confession'' of Faith
in respect to Sunday, instead of the Wea
r...,
minstea" The impression made by
theie w3rds is that the German Evangel
ical Lutheran ministers and membership,
and the Augsburg Confession, favor the'
'unfortunate position taken by a misguided
part of our fellow-citizens, and sanction
the unhallowed celebratio n in which they
engaged on last Sunday, whereas the di
rect reverse of this is the truth. The
Augsburg Confession introduces the ques
tion of the Sabbath in one of its articles
on the' Abuses -of the Romish
Church, more by way of illustra
tion and argiiment, than for the
purpose of setting forth the complete
doctrine in regard to it. It teaches that
"because it was requisite to appoint a cer
tain day, that the people might know when
they ought to come together, it appears that
the (Christian) Church , did for that pur
pose appoint the Lord's day. This core
,ing together of the people evidently is for
the purpose -for which the Sabbath is ap
pointed, viz: for the worship of God and
the hearing of HIS Word. No sensible
man will seriously pretend that the A.ugs
burg Confession recommends or sanctions
a coming\todether of the people. for the
purpose of, moving in procession through
the streets, with bands of music, and so
disturb the peace and quiet of ihe day,
and of listening to infidel orations, in
which the church of Jesus Chriat is held
up to shame and reproach.
Luther, in his Larger Catechism, says:
"To sanctify the Sabbath day, signifies to
keep it holy. What' then is implied. by
keeping it holy? Nothing else but to be
employed in holy words and actions."
"We should know that Gpd desired to
have this commandnient strictly observed,
and that He will punish all who reject
His Word and are unwilling to,hear and
learn it, especially at the time appointed
for this purpose. Therefore' not only
those sin against this commilidment, who
grossly abuse and impiously profane \ the,
Sabhath day, as"those who, on account of
their avarice or wantonness, neglect to
bear the Word of God, or lie in taverns \
full and stupid like swine; but those also
who listen to the . Word of God
as to idle talk, and attend preach
ing merely for - the sake. Of fashion,
and when the•year 'has - gone liy know as
,little as they did before." This' shows
what that great reformer Onsidered a
proper observance of the day.
Idelancthon, who penned the Augsburg'
Confession certainly knew what it
taught. A:quotation from his Catechism
for Youth, will show how the Sabbath is
to be Kept in the spirit of the Confession:
"Sins against this commandment * *
to spend sacred days in -feasting and
sports, , not in pious meditation—to lead
others by our example from public wor
ship, and give occasion fur their thinking
lightly of it---:eontuniaciously to engage on
the sacred day in Works which hinder the
minutry of the word and of worship."
"Works enjoined by the precept *
to employ sacred days for the celebration
of the public service—likewise in pious
meditation, and in setting an example
which will .win others to piety," ,&c.
The German Evangelical Lutheran
ministers and membership of these pities
took action against the ungodly, demon
titration of last Sunday, condemning and
protesting against it, and charging that
those who inaugurated and carried ; it out,
were "rationalists, free thinkers and, con
firmed Infidels."
No one would pretend to Phial that
that uhgodly 'celebration was a work of
necessity or of mercy, 'or a worship of
God and a devout listening to his Word.
And from the statements auove given it is
clear that neither the• Lutherans nor their
Confession sanction or excuse it. 'Luth
erans do claim liberty of conscience, but •
not the liberty to sin against God,. ,or of
fend against the peace and . good order of
society, — . Luniawt.
Z
alit WAY TO THE LAKES
EDITORS GAZETTE : I read yorti
marks in your issue of the •23d ultimo,`
commendatory of the city of ",Erie"
as a point that shoald command a higher
and more important business position.
This is all true, and I 'will tell you, in a
,
few - words what will/do it. Let • her cid
.
zens and our 'own/of Pennsylvania, with
Northeastern ohio, go vigorously to
work, and cqn`struct a ship canal between
those impqrtarit terminal points, , and the
future o / tthe two places willbe promoted
_ •
to such an exteotthat our business and
pop,ulation will be increased three . fold,
within ten years atter its construction,
,And very palpably m a much greater
ratio. We are not alone interested in
this great work, but the States of Penzi
sylvania, Maryland, Western Virginia,
the vast West and Northwest, are \ deeply
concerned in this great project. 'The
various-: railroads radiating henCe
are equally interested in \ the
enterprise. Just reflect one mo
moment. There was mined in-the Lake
Sqperior region in 1868, four hundred and
ninety-three thousand two hundred and
ninety tons (493,290) of Iron Ore, most
of which found its way to Western Penn
sylvanla and Northeastern Ohio, for
smelting, and to be manufactured and
manipulated in the various work shops,
and then distributed to the variows -Sec
tions of our country, through our ystem
of railways. The same with the 'copper;
lumber, and plaster of the Lake legions,
and the cereals of the progressiVe west.
In a very few years the Northern Pacific
Railroad will be completed, connecting
• Lake Superior and the chain of Lakes of
