CORRUPTION: - Br,ORNED.
We understand thift all the numerous
propositionit for the 'disbursement of cash,
to secure a majatity vote in the forth-,
coming Demoiretic Convention at Harris
burg, have been for months past steadily
and sternly decliiied‘by Mr. G. W. Casa
and his friends. If the.fact be - "correctly
stated, it rettects the , highest honor upon
the now defeated aspirant. three month
hence, tea now, he will find hie position
vastly more satisfactory, than that of , his
unscropulotts rival.. The pima, disap
'pointment of his wishes is 'not to be
wondered at. In sew Convention of the
Peansylvenli Demoeracy, ti serious con
test, between money one side` and
naked principle even tacked by meritori
ous services ontui other, is always en
tirely out . of the question. That Mr.
• Cass has fora quarter af a century, head
ed the forlorn hope his party in this
Whig and Republican section" of the Com
monwealth, fighting purely for his prin.
ciples without the faintest show of remu
aeration' in local successes, seems to have
weighed for nothing in , his favor with
a State Convention. That Mr. PACKER has
year after year profited, as a partizan and
personally, by the hearty support of con
stant majorities in the Democratic strong
hold' where he lives, has weighed for
nothing against him when there were
fresh honors to be awarded. It is a ques
tion with not a few disinterested obserf
erg of men and things whether Judge
PACKER, living , in Western instead of
Eastern Pennsylvania, would have been
able to-day to present as spotless a record
of partizan fidelity—never flinching m
any trials, however hopeless, and r .
yielding to: the abundant tempts
which have here beset a Democrat per
sonally popular among the masses of a
preponderating opposition—as that which
illustrates the career of Mr. Cass. With
every inducement to turn his coat, he has
held fast to his opinions, to the regret of
thousands of his fellow-citizens here,
while Judge PACKER, always caressed by
Democratic majoritietrat home, has never
yet known any other temptation' than
that of swimming with the profitable cur
rent. Had the location of these two gen
tlemen been entirely reversed, the Democ
racy would have gained a good man on
the other side of the Alleghenies, and
they might have lost one here.
THE DEMOCRACY IN NM.
Not content with nominating for Gov.
ernor-the weakest man of the four candi
dates; the-Democracy have placed him
upon the feeblest of platforms. •
Their resolutions reiterate the old Cop
perhead protest of '63, against the "exer
cise of doubtful Constitutional power,"
the same protest with which they then
recommended the surrender of every
point claimed by the armed rebels, and
under which they then avowed their un
relenting hostility to an Abolition war.
They deny the Legislative autho-ity to
ratify the XVth Article, demanding the re
peal of this action and the submission of the
main question to the people. Of this, it is
enough to remark that, although we have
the liveliest notions of the amazing assur
ance of the Democratic cheek, yet we do
not believe that one respectable lawyer or
politician of that party can be found
within thisXComtnonwealth, who- will
have the hardihood to stand up before an
intelligent &bile and give his individual
endorsement to the denial and the demand
of this resolution. The idea of disputing
the Legislative authority in the premises
is the baldest absurdity. Had the Con
vention waived that question, as one too
plain for any controversy, and made their
fight noon the siniple point of eve
diency, holding Republicans responsible
for an alleged diaregard of the popular
sentiment of. the Commonwealth, they
would have credit for some common
sense, looking from their partizan stand.
point. Their true policy was clearly to
regard the Legislative act as final, so far
as concerned the State, but alio to prose
cute their onporients for the illegal dis
regard of public opinion.. They might'
have reaped some profit from." , an ad tap
tandum attack upon negro - equal
ity, while they can gain nothing but
discomfiture by,f, thtfs kicking against
the pricks, upOn the abstract point
of Legislative authority. We need
add but a word more on that
head. Of the twenty odd Legislatures
which have already acted on the: new'
Article, but two, or three have been
chosen with this Article submitted as a
popular issue: much, the largest number
of the Legislatures have acted, some do
one way and some in another, upon the
proposition which was subulitted stibse, •
quent to their own election, without hesi.
bating at all as to their full authority in
the premises.
Our Democracy cling with an inveter
ate hate to 'their prejudices against im
partial suffrage; and assail `"the negro"
accordingly. They shut. their eyes to the
present and future, and can see nothing
Inifthe past. They can concede no. ,
takes, and have learned nothing from
years of defeat. Their friends_ in Ohio
_
have been smarter. Contrast Ufa foolish
,
nese of the Harrisburg resolution with .
the smooth way in which • the Buckeye
Democracy gave the whole question the
go-by, as follows: . ,
Resorved, That it is the right of each
State to decide for itself who anall possess

fitly thousand majority, It is plain that
the resolution of '6O, noted above,is
tamotint to a - complete 'surrender to the
progressive spirit of the times. The
party see their account in a, radical
change of base on this question, and the
resolution takes quite as long, a step to
ward the flank as their leaders were will
ing to hazard for the first. 011 own De
mocracy would have been wise to imitate
the battle tactics.
Reform in the management of public
affairs is "imperatively demanded" by a
n t
Convention which changed it nominee
to please that Philadelphia " ang," of
which honest Democrats . ,co ess, with
the deepest 'Mortification, that it is com
eposed of thvilest materials ever con
tributed tea fatty by personal and polit
ical dishones y. Talk of financial reform
by a party whose leaderkhaye just sold
three hundred thousand Democrats like
so many sheep in the shambles!
They would "ameliorate the condition
of the laboring man." Yes, they would
ameliorate it by'subjecting Ameridan in
dustry to the competition of European
pauperism. - The free-trade Democracy
of Pennsylvania dared not speak one
word of encouragement for the protection
of home labor against a ruinous foreign
invasion"!
They charge Republicanism with the
overthrow of civil . governments at the
South. That is the old, old story, of an
unconstitutional war, with all its uncon
stitutional consequences. If our Democ
racy are not content with the thrashings
we have so often given them on this issue,
they shall have another. one in the coming
October,4ind it is likely to be decisive.
They "gratefully remember" the sol
diers and sailors. The soldiers and sail
ors faithfully remember . them.
We can endorse their eighth resolution,,
for equal rights and protection to. all
citizens atlonie or abroad, and for the
dignified assertion of American nation
ality.
The denunciation of the , internal reve
nue system will suit millionaires like
their candidate, . but was not specially
called for in the interests of the masses of
the Democratic party.
Taken altogether, the Harrisburg plat
form is scarcely worthy of an intelligent
contempt. Something; , more logical,
more patriotic and more sensibly practical,
could have been furnished at twenty-fottr
hours' notice from the "School for the
Feeble-minded" at 31edia.

not tired of wrecks, of are we to have

It is rumored here that Judge alusse's
sudden return from the Virginia springs
was occasioned by an agreement between
him and some of his Southern friends to
attend to the Yerger case, aud that, con
sequently, he was not 'stall surprised when
the application was presented to him. The
point to be determined is, whether that
partrof the reconstruction acts which pro
vides for the trial of persona accused of
crimes by military commission is consti
tutional.
Several of the Cabinet officers are not
pleased with the result in Virginia, and
look upon the triumph of the alker
party rather as a defeat for the Adminis
tration than a victory. These Cabinet
officers have been in consultation on the
subject with the few Republican Senators
and Representatives who are now here,
and they also are of the opinion that the
result in Virginia is a doubtful victory.
They say Mr. Walker may inert well
enough, but they fear the large majority
of doubtful men in the Legislature may
swamp him, and carry the State back to
the condition in which Georgia and Lou
isiana now are. Prominent Republican
Congressmen in those states, which hold
elections this fall, write here expressing
the same opinion. The Stokes party of
Tennessee, especially,• fear that it the
Administration fullyindorsca> the action
of Virginia it will do them great injury
in the approaching eleation in their State.
The New French Cable.
The Cable will be h thousand mileb
longer than the English Cable, or about
eight thousand miles altogether. Its mon
eyed projectors are Messrs. Erlanger and
Renter,the notorious enemies of the North
during the late war, who are backed by a
large array or stockholders. The longest
section of the Cable is that from Brest•to
Bt. Pierre.-2,826 Miles; the shinier one;
from St. Pierre to the coast of IfairSaCh4-
setts, will be 722 , miles long. t the sec
tions of the Cable between Brest ) St.
Pierre and • Boston are six in number,
and it needs six BPIICII3gB between theee
points.
Rouse's Huminock, at the town of Dux
bury, in Massachusetts, and near the Gar
net Light of Plymouth Harbor, will be
the American end of the cable. The 31as
itachusetts Legislature have chartered a
company to carry a line out beyond the
jurisdiction of thi4 United States, and
splice it with the French cable, in order to
.avoid any difficulty growing , out of the
Constitution of the United States law with
reference to this subje s ct. Dnxbury,
where the Cable will have an office, was
once a ship-building. port of promise, but,
like Plymouth and Salem, has passed into
decay commercially. The late • United
States Consul General atTripoll, Mr.J.M.
Gaines, will have charge of the office, as
sisted by twelve operators. 'Aceording to

.The Gen. Grant Steamer of Allecheny,.
at a recent fire broke a portion of her
machinery and was thus thrown out of
service for several days. Yesterday thei,
repairs were completed, and she was
again placed in working order, ready for
action.
For the last week or two the members
of the company have been busily engaged
in the renovation'of their quarter!, and
have succeeded in making it now one of
the most handsomely Punished and
comfortable houses in either city. In
addition to repairing, fr escoing, and the
general brightening up, they have
adorned the parlor with new tete a teas,
and other furniture accordingly, togeth
er with adding several new bunks, fitted
up in the most perfect manner in the
sleeping apartment. The ' , Gen. Grant"
is one of the moat active and efficient
companies in the service, and we are
glad to note these evidences of the inter
est taken in theorganization by its mem
bers.

—A short time since the vestrymen of
Trinity Church, in Chicago, invited 'the
Right Rev. Dr. Cummins, associate Bish
op of Kentucky, their old rector, to
preach during the temporary /absence of
their present rector, Rev. Mr. Sullivan.
He accepted, and Sunday before last
preached an anti-Ilituallittic' sermon, in
which he is said to have' charged the
present troubles in the Episcopal Church
to the introduction of Cathedral worship.:
This remark was considered a reflection
upon the Bishop orthe Diocese, and on
Monday he called ikm Mr. Wright, the
junior Wai•den of'Dinity, and. advised
him not to-allow Dr. Cummins to occupy
the pulpit. The associate Bishop was
telegraphed not' to come.
THE following is a young minister's
idea of the ,expansive nature of Ake
human mind: "Yes, my friends the
mind of man is so expansive that it can
soar from star to star, and from sachelite
to sachelite, and; from seraphene
seraphene, - t and from cherrybeam to
cherry beam; and from thence to the
centre of the bone of heaven.".
