'Vise. SUPREME coiling Attu THE
. WINKING. SOUND. I
The following appeared in a Philadel.
' phis Journal, met week:
It is held by our Supremo Court that
the Legislature is the guardian of the
seenrities depoeited -in the sinking food,
suit may change these • securities in their
discretion, always provided the new
securities be applied, when the money in ,
obtained upon them, to the purpose for
which the sinking fund wee created, viz:
the payment of the State debt. Thin ,
view is not only in strict consonance with
the powers exercised by all trustees. bat
tile one thlk, even applied to the tom.
monwealth, the courts have intimated
they would enforce when the eilgeney
seemed to require It. for the protection
• - of the Interests of the Commonwealth,
even without the aid of legislation.
This statement is : copied by a portion
maw, generally in their

editorial mlumns without credit, and
evidently In the simultaneous execution
of an arranged plan to manipulate public
opinion, in . favor of the recent Legislative
appropriation of nine and a half milltons
of dollars out of the sinking fund for the
• construction of certain railways.
We do not intend to discuss otherwise
the legal merits or demerits of that appro
fff
- printion, than simply to correct a very
' palpable misstatement of the. doctrine
which our Supreme Court has really held,
upon the ,abstract legal question involved.

the Bxecutive signature. Although these
merits might now be &mused with the

overeat critic to the ImpuMtion of at

eaten to promise great local profit, yet it
at present either too late or too early to
hope for any positive good to result from
that disculaion.

But having pat this journal on the re

hibitton be held to forbid'the improve.
merit, by legislative-or judicial interven
tion, of securitics already in the fund,
which were - comparatively worthier' ?
Upon these questions, we quote in rz lenso
the judgment of the Wort. The intelli
gent reader, wliether in or out of the pro•
Cession, will perceive , that this kudgmen
holds bonds in the Sinking.fnnd to be
"within the fund, and entitled to the pro•
faction of the Constitutional ordinance,"
and second, that the legislative or Judi
cial authority can only intervene to "ore
Tent the rand from decaying, year by
year, into worthlessness;" "to guardtho
Wad from toast" t, improve and perfect
its securitics, and for no other purpose
Whatever. We cite the m►ln portions of
itulge Strong!, opinion, as follows :
It is not worth the while to inquire
whether, at the time when the act wee
passed, the bonds for the 13,500,000 were
di the sinking fund. Strictly speaking,
perhaps, they were not. The caustitu
clonal idea of that hind was, doulnlese,
that it should be money; sotnetinug that
:Quid be • applied directly to the pay
ment of the public debt. The proceeds
of sale of the public works are required
to go into It. But the bonds can hardly
be called the proceeds of the sale of the
canals. Those canals are not yet. paid
for. The proceeds of their wale are yet
to be received. The bonds aro but the
evidence of indebtedness. They repre
sent the proceeds of ssle, they ere not
the proceeds themselves. Still lees the
mortgage. That was not even the repre•
sentative of a. - clebt. It wSti given, not to
the Commonwealth, but to two other
persons, who were made by it trustees 01
all the holders of the 117,f01,41110 bonds.
Each holder hod es much control over it
as the State herself. It added nothing to
the amount due the Commonwealth,
and Ito release could take nothing out of
the Treasury, or out of the sinking fund.
With or without the mortgage the debt
is the same, the amount of the proceeds
of the eats of the canals unchanged.
But it-would lea very narrow and 11
liberal construction of the cenatitutional
order, were we to say that the securities
taken for the purchase money of the
pub.le works are not within its protec.
dot; A oonstltation ie not to receive a
technical conatructiou, like IT common
taw instrument, or a statute. It is to be
interpreted so as to carry out the great
aria-iiples of the government, not to de.
fest-them: Commonwealth vs. Clark, 7
V. at S. 1213. 11 must necessarily be
brief, and speak in general terms, for its
province to only to declare organic rules.
Our duty is to enforce its manning, to
take care that what was Intended to be
•aocomplished by it shall not fad'.
Treating, then, the debt due to the
Commonwealth from the Piniedelenta
tied Erie Railroad Company, and et-I:len
ient by the bonds as within the &eking
toad, sod entitled to the protection of
.he constitutional ordinance, as folly es
Its equivalent iu money would be, how
.does the satlefaclon of the intirtmete
amount to a -use or eppllcation of cur
part of it, contrary to the cuipoitutionsl
prohibition. To what other use is it ap
plied? Not to the use of the Common
wealth, certainly. Not to the use of the
inprtgagare, fur no part of the debt is re
leased by the ratisfaction of the mort
gage. The debt and the whole debt, re
mains due as before. The tends fur V-3,-
600,000 continue in the sinking fund
the mortgagors and the obligors are still
debtors as fully se aver. Th# proceeds
of the sale of the canals are neither giv
en away nor applied to any' now use.
And if there be no diversion of the fund
from the object to which it was dedica
ted by the fundamental law,, then noth
log has been done which the constitution
prohibits.
.It is material also to observe that if
the constitution is to be so constued as
to bring the evidence of the debt due by
the Company to the Commonwealth,
intothe sinking fund, as wo thick it
must, it follows, as a necessary conse
quence, that there is power in the gov
ernment to manage the Twenties for the
debt, and =eke each changes In them as
will beet effectuate the grand of
which the feamera of the constitution
nad in view. And if this power estate,
it tnust. be in the Legislature, subject,
perhaps though only indirectly, to the
supervision of this court. Now, what
the framers of the constitution mainly
intended, was the dedication of the pro
ceeds of the sale of the public works ir
revocably to the payment of the public
debt. Thepayinent of that debt wee the
great end ght to be attained. All
else was but sou subsidiary to it. But this
dominant purpose, this main object of
the countitutional ordinance, would be
defeated, If, when a security for a deb;
has gone into the stroking feud, there re-
Males no power over it, except that of
custody. If the commissioners of the
sinking fund, and the Legislature must
stand helpieds, and see the evidences of
indebtedness belonging to the fund de-'
caying from year to year IMO worthies's
ream, If they may not substitute a better
for a worse security, then the constitu
tion but "holds the word of promise to
She ibari and breaks it to the hope!" Such
a view - of it le worse than clinging to the
letter and sticking In the bark, fur not
oven the letter of the constitution pro
hibits the administration and prudent
management of whatever bilengs to the
fund. It prohibits only its perveraion to
any-other me then the payment of
,the
public debt. So far from inhibiting pro•
dent measures to secure a debt, in spirit
it eojoinb them. It makes it the duty of
all who have charge of the fund to sea to
it that all which belongs to it shall be ef.
fectively applied to the purpose felPwhich
the fend was created. And I cannot
doubt that whenever it is made apparent
that a possible change 'of itecurittee Is
necessary to guard any part €1 the fond
from loss, this court would order it. In
doing se, they would exercise only the
ordinary powers of a wart of equity over
trustees, and they would he furthering
the design of the framers orate constita
lion. And if this is so, then it cannot be
doubted that a court of equity would
sanction precisely what the Legislature
did by the Act of March -7tia, 1931, when
they ordered the. 17,000,000 mortgage to
be satisfied. Washita not go over in de
tail the fattest', they have been exhibited
to us In the proofs, nor oven mention
again those which we have recapitulated
Lot it slam to say _that the afffdavila
prove, without any attempt at conuadie
mon, what is apparent also from the sev
eral acts of Assembly, that the debt due
to -the Commonwealth is much ester
since the Act of March 7th, 1061, than It
was before. The original debt, or rather
the original evidences Ipf debt, remain
unchanged. A collateral security only
has been given up, while an Improved
has been subitlinted In its place.
We think this was not beyond the con
stitutional power of the Legislature to
direct.
—The Conetitutional amendment thus
protecting the Sinking-fund wan adopted
in 1857. We reprinted it us these columns
a few days since. The Judgment above
cited was delivered in' 1802. We have
quoted the opinion of the Court at length
that the reader may see •how clearly it is
turned upon the worthlessness of the
bonds, then in the fund, which were pro
posed to be exchanged, and upon the right,
nay, the duty, of the Legislature or even
of the Court to intierterethr the improve
ment of the security, and equally' to_ pre
vent its deterioration. How far short this
decision fails of sustaining the broad
claim by our Philadelphia cotemporary,
that the Legislature hu en unlimited .
"discretion" in its control, for all pur
poses, of the Sinking fund property i
_ On the contrary, this Judgment of oni
Supreme Court, if regarded as a binding
precedent In that tribunal hereafter, must
lend straight to another decision against
the constitutionality of the law of last
week, which takes out of the fund nine
and a half millions of &lactase securities,
—every dollar worth Its face, and its
value always improving,—and replaces
them with the bonds of roads, yet to be
built, and only guaranteed, f0r . 83,500,000
of them, "by a responsible railway
company or companies!" .Could this be
bold to be an "Improvement" of the
"comparatively worthless" property of
the Sinking-fund, and no entitled to the
sanction of the Court?' lie, any friend of
the omnibus bill ever been heard to put
his deicers of its merits on the ground of
such si"improyemest or the securities?"
No! That point hu been carefully ignored,
and the hillVres advocated only for its
effect to develop the material resources of
the Commonwcalt4 —a justification for
meddling with nictitating Mud, which we
all might wish to endorse, but whielt.our
Supreme Court has not yet shown itself
ready to elnctiop. The inteltigent public
can judge as well as we from the preen.
dent above quoted of the likelihood of its
being, finally approved by that tribunal.
Indeed the whole Subject - merits the most
careful consideration of all thoughtful
men, no' only as It concerns this last trans
action, but even as it mey yet have to be
adjudicated, In the matter of another ex
change of not many years since. Ind if
these transactions be - really incapable of
constitutional support, the friends of the
projected roads, with whom we arc oth
erwise in hearty sympathy, should under
stand the "situation before it can become
embarrassing.. '

Bridging the Beeson. •
Recently a special .act of the State
Legialature ineorrhmeted the Hudson
Highland Suspension .Bridge Company.
Subsequently an organization was effect.
ed. The estimated cost of this grand
undertaking and the exact date fur Ise
commencement of Its construction are not
yet given to the public. But that it is
one of. the greatest feats of bridge•build•
ing ever attempted Is manifest troth the
meagre facts and tigurcs thus far given
forth.
Its location is already determined upon.
It will span the river, from bluff to bluff,
between-Fort Clinton, on the western, to
Bt. Anthony's Nose, on the eastern side.
The abutnients and towers will be built
upon the natural rock, which forms the
base of the range of mountains along the
river's course, and is of primitive gran
ite of the most enduring and permanent
character. Thera will Ise one clear span
of 1,600 feet. The length of the bridge
between the towers is to be 1,666 feet.
The total length of the bridge, including
the approaches, will be '2,411.1 feet. The
height of the ower part of the bridge
above high-water mark will be 135 feet.
Tee entire structure will be termed of
eteel combination trues and cable work.
The wiro to be used in the manufacture
of these =tiles Is composed of a new steel
of peculiar properties, and in enteric:ten
tat trials, in , spans 2,640 feet long, has
shown greater tensile strength, with less
weight, Wan any ever Ixfire used. Its
mildly is almost Incredible. This struc
ture will surpass that sit Niagara, and
others in several respects. While the
tormer is of iron cables, and of great
weight, this will be of the lighter steel
combination trusses, more alertly and
greet-eel, and firm. The span is the
longest in the world.
The height of the to were above the sur.
face of the water will be 280 feet. There
will be fon systems and twenty cables,
locked or rooted 'deeply in the rock, and
abutments sad towers. Each cable will
be about fourteen inches in diameter,
interlaced and secured by innumerable
other and • smaller tables. The cables
will contain 371,165.750 feet, or 70,392
miles of steel wire. The total; weight of
I iron and steel in the bridge will be about
17,000 tons, and the total suspended
weight will be 9,651 tons. The total
measurement of masonry a ill be 59,034
cubic yang. It is calculated that this
bridge could safely enppert a train of six-
ty locomotives and 35,000 people.
It will have two decks or floors; the
ripper one will haven narrow and broad.
gauge tracts, and will be used for rail
road purposes; while the lower-one will
be devoted to team service. The-amount
of weight that can ever be crowded upon
it stance will be but one sixth of its cup
forting capacity. Of course the elevation
above the water bevel readers it far out 01
the wiry of navigable crafts of all kinds.
The benefits to accrue from the successful
consummation of tire undertaking are
manifold, and actually resolve themselves
into necessities. It opens what is most
imperatively, demanded, viz: n midland,
all.rail avenue, uninterrupted by the toll
ous and provoking delays of ferriage be
tween the East, Northwest and West and
the great metropolis of the nation, at the
most practicable crossing point along the
Reckon River, and but about forty miles
shove New York. As a lesser, but still
important coneitleratlen, it also opens a
carriage and foot highway between we
great and populous lands on either bask
of the river. Negotiations are now pro
gressing toward the consolidation of

Almost every paper we open contains
accounts of the lose of life by the explo.
Mon of coal oil lamps, and it' may be
fairly presumed that there are hundreds
of explosions of these lamps that are not
noted in the papers, !TOM the fact that no
personal injury is occasioned thereby.
The impression is generally liven by the
accounts of these accidents that the fault
is altogether in the character of the oil,
and that bed all will explode and good
oil will net. There is no portion of crude
petroleum fit for illuminating purposes of
lighter specific gravity than sixty, yet it
Is the custom of oil manufacturers to use
all the gasoline possible into the oil by
I applying chemicals to increase the ilre
trot, regardless of the consequences that
have ensued. That a stringent law is
needed is no doubt, but thit all or nearly
all coal oil is explosive nader certain con

who have bad experience la its use. It
requires care on the part of these who

explosions that are constantly occurring
will convince the most skeptical that neg
ligence and carelessness are the Cause
of more explosions than the bed quality
of the oil. In the first place lamps ought,
to be filled every day and the wicks
I cleaned. A full lamp, with even bad oil,
Is comparatively safe from explosion.
The canoe of explosion Is the collection
in the lamp of gas or vapor, which, gen.
crated by heat from oil or gasoline, takes
fire and explodes the lamp. This never.,
occurs when the lamp is full and the
wick is clean, as there is then no chant.

no matter what the quality of the oil it I
will always accumulate when the lamp is
partly filled. It is the heat that draws off
the vapor from the oil, and it the wick is
choked it has no means of escape tram
the chamber of the lamp. If a lamp burns
clear and bright there is no danger of ex
plosion, but If it gives a bad light or
smokes It should be immediately extin
guished. A recent explosion wax reported
to have occurred by catiaguishingalunp
by blowing down the chimney. This is
a common practice, and it is accompanied
by no danger with a full lamp, but it is
al ways dangerous with • lamp partly_
filled or in bad working condition. The
flame is blown down IWO the chamber of
the lamp, which may be charged with gal,
and an explosion is always hazarded with
a badly trimmed lamp.

with the invaluable boon of specie pl):
resents within reach, if there were only
genius and ability to improve the oppor
tunity, shows how little reason there Is
to expect any improvement on the part
of our legislators.
The newspaper articles, essays, reports
and speeches that have been written and
published to prove that contraction of

The volume of currency was just as great

and wheat 90401 .10. Yet we nave

and greenbacks hare been so nearly at

Our readers will bear witness that the

October so, lelet, the Economist wrote:
"The whole oilestion of specie pay

Wilicußies, many of which are visionary
and unfounded. Among the exploded
fallacies may be classed the. idea that the
value of the greenback can be increased
by mere contraction •to a specie stand

The fall of gold to 110, without any
coutriction of the currency, clearly
shows the wiundnets of them views.
But our politicians and logielators seem
incapable of adapting themselves to etc
cumbtanus, and it is by no means likely
that we have bear,' the last of contrac.

Under existing circumstances it is dun.
cult to anticipate the future of gold pre
miums or of business. Speculation, no
doubt, lad a good deal to do with the re
duction of the gold premium. Parties
operated fear a fail just as Gould and nth
operated tor a rieo in September bust. In
both cases the results are equally disas

rise destroyed the fill trade. How long
the business nimmunity may be compell
ed to endure these losses is just now a
matter of to slight interi st. That they
should induce a strong ptiblic feeling in
lover of specie payment is a matter of
course. Undenbteilly; the brtsinese of
toe whole _country is settling down to a
gold haste. Prices of all kinds of com
modities arc falling. The reduction in
wheat Is- bringing down the prices of
either articles of living.. The country Is
really in a sound condition, and it only
requties the impulse of a healthy currency
to imparts new-stimulus to all branches
of business. Old King Cotton came very
near restoring old King Gold, and may
succeed in doing no at last, in spite of
Cengrces and the politicians.

the following statement in regard to the
reply which has been given by the Papal
Government to Count Benst's recent site.
patch : . •
Our Roman correscondent thus sums
up the answer of the Cardinal to the Sec
retery of State : "The full and /locoed'.
tiotal liberty aasured to the Fathers of
the Council deprives the Pope.ef all right
to interfere with their deliberations before
the results are submitted'. for his approba
tion. But what is forbiden to the Pope
belongs of right to the Bishops of the Ails
trtellungarian'monarchy, woo within the
Council have full liberty to Modify or re
sist the Schema In question. Thu Holy
Se*, however, has ream to believe that
the Bishops do not share the ariprehen, '
' stone of the Imperial Cabinet conceraing
Canons 12, 19, 29, to which the note of
Coast Beast seems to refer. Canon 12
is only a textuarreproductiOn of the con
demnation of the doctrines propounded'
by the Italian Jame:sista - of the Council
of Piateja, a condemnation pronounced
against those doctrines by the butt ('au-1

1794. Being directed against the J anima.
hits, this coudemnatioe has a purely dog- 1
medic character. As regards Canon 10'
condemning the doctrine that the Church
is deprived of all authority other than
that accorded to her by the State, the
ustrian bishops have themselves pro-,

to rcdu the Catholic Church to the posh

lion. The Schema merely ahns at con
firming the legitimacy of their protest.
It should not be forgotten that the Coun
cis, in its Eculitenical character, treats
dogmatical questions from the general
point of view of the Church. Ills is this'
sense that Canon 20 determines the su
preme rule of 'conscience In regard to
public and social actions. But this su.
' preme rule can be modified in its applica
tion by concordats concluded between the
Holy See and the various States, for Biel
Pope, being the guardian of the canons,
emanating from the Council, has also the
power to make such modifications in
' them as may be demanded by the polill- '
1 cal necessities of Fontes. As regards
Austria, whatever may be the decision of
[the Council, the Concordat of 1855 will I

monarchy. The Holy Bee has still less

cease to assert. Altogether the Schema
of the twenty-one canons does not tend
in any way to encroach upon the rights
of the State. Its sole &Jed is to pro

Church, leaving men's consciences free to
conform to theni or not." .

The beef after being killed, skinned,

is certain, the representatives of the van- • - _

A
broken front in. favor of the measure
~\ •
from the outset. - •
The bill provides for the eatablishment
of one college., to be styled the Ohio Ag• .
ricultural and Mechanical College, 'Wee
cotdance with the act of Congress passed
Jule 2 1862, "where the, leading object
shall be, without excluding other 'mien. 1
title. and classical studies, end includin
military tactics, to teach such branches 0
learning as are related to agriculture an
the mechanical arts." The government
of the college Is to be vested in a - board
of trustees, consisting of one member
from each Congressional district, to tic
appointed by the Goveruvr for a terns of
six years, one third of the board to be
appointed every two years. The board
.are authorized to sue and be sued, to
maks rules, and the general management
is to be confined to an executive commit
tee of three. All perilous over fourteen
years of age are to be eligible as students,
each county to be entitled to a proportion
according to population. No• debts are
to be - contracted without authority 'front
the General Asseinbly. The board la an
thorized to anpoint officers, fix the
amount of the Treasurer's bond, and pre
scribe the compensation.
election ten proitdes for the collection_
.and preservation of specimens in the de.
partments of mineralogy, geology, hot
auy, Sc., the eistabliihrneut of a library,
collection of arena and accoutrements,
etc., and preservation of the same. The
trustees are authorized In receive be
quests in money zed lands, and apply
than. to the endowment feed, unless oth
erwise directed. Full reports of all
transactions are to be made .annually to
the Governor. The Attorney General is
made the legal adviser of the board.
By section sixteen It is provided the en
dowment fund, now amounting to aboOt
four hundred and flfty thoneanddollars,
shall be kept intact, unless ten par cent.
thereof shall be appropriated by the Gen
eral Assembly for buildings, as authorized
by Congress.
Section seventeen provides that the
trustees shall locate, on or before the 16th
ot. October, MO, on lands not lens than
one hundred acres in area, centrally situ.
.ateil, and accessible by railroad. N‘i lo
cation shall be accepted unless accompa.

hundred theummtdollaretn money, lands
or both.
Tint presence of -Mr. Revels in the
Senate has made a much greater Imprep
sion abroad than at borne. It is regarded
by tn.: old friends of the Union in Eng•
land us one of the most memorable events
of which history bears record; "Surely,"
says the Spectator, "the.deliverance of
israel.from Egypt itself was not sore
eonepicuously a work of Divine power—
or mere conspicuously disregarded ha a
aign by the generation which witnessed
it." Tire Speelaior takes a loftier view
of many circumstances connected with
the late war than some of our own papers,
and there are suit a few Republicans who
would sneer at it as "fanatical." Neve
rtheless it is a good thing to find men
holding such sentiments as the above,
and not afraid to declare them.'
