The oper ation of the measure, if it shall become a law, will be entirely consistent, therefore, with all previous legislation in the inter ests of the public credit. Instead of being an "obstacle" to `the passage of this Funding bill, the Public Credit. Act, of . 119, eipiesaly contemplated the sub: eequent adoption of such a measure as this before Congress. Tun - rsorza of Philadelphia were promised, during the canvass of 1869, which elected Governor Geary, that their municipal police system should be re. fointed by a Republican majorill in the next Legislature. The pledge was a grateful one, for the latter history of the campaign In that city was one of daßy violence and nightly outrage by the Dem ocratic policemen• - upon — Republican citizens and meetings.

It is three or four years since the State Medical Society did a no ble woqz, never before undirtalum, In in stituting, through its branch societies, a systematic inspection of the condition at that ate of these institutiOns. Its Awe ment of. the results presented a narrstlye of which it is to mild to say that it was shocking. That narrative at least did some good; it led to the organization ors Board of Charities,. and we treat that other good fruits may follow, In the re formation of the Ovules which the Board annually deplete with such painful fidelity. ME Tux BMNATZ is likely to add several stringent amendments to the bill h ing polygamy as a legalized institution in lltah territory. The mawkish sensibility - of one portion of the press, and the in clinations of a ;still larger class of jour- nals to temporize with a most infamona defiance of the laws of Heaven and of civilization, have led some good citizens to fear that Congress would be dissuaded, bribed or cajoled; (coin its plain line of duty In the premises. The indications at Washington are now such as to dissi pate these apprehensions. In the corn. pletion of the Pacific railway we are not to content ourselies with accepting an "instrument which, as the phrase gam, will in time, quietly and gradually, mad late • the abominable. practices which hitherto Congress has indirectly pric tioaed ; on the contrary, It now becomes the duty of a Christian nation to Improve the present as the first opportunity for dadaively dealing with an iniquity which, at arm's len h, has hitherto de fied the sentiment of the world. That Is to be the idea I iligl THE SLEEP OF DEATH. A Harrisburg journal, which was among the earliest and most vigommt in its denunciation of the bill to surrender the Sinking-fund to the railway eisrpora -ticms, now insists that this measure is to be justified by the soundest considera tions of State policy, looking to the devel opment of our` aterial resources. This dodges the real question. It la not wheth -ey it be more desirable to re-embark the Commonwealth In a general system of internal improyements, but, simply, whether such a conversion of- the wets in the fund isnot prohibited by the ex press letter of the Constitution: whether, under the settled judgment of the Court, In Grain's case, Misjudgment Is a better. meat, or a diminution of the actual cash . yalueef the fund-aaseti, applicable as re coked, from year to year, in the discharge of the public liabilities; -whether the old sushi, worth their face or more In cash to day to the market, although not to be finally paid for twenty years, may or may got be legally exchange:l, doll:trier dollar. nominally, for other.securftles of a value so doubtful, that not even the boldest id• vocals of their conversion will dare to claim that par can be realized for them, withia.the three years ensuing, by the Commlisioners, to meet the nine and • half millions of debt to mature in that period.. The question, in brief; Is wheth er we do not, by this transaction, Impair our Witty to pay our debts, haying ex changed our good properli for what may prove to be very tad. We . have triirrenderid nine and a half mill- MEI 4 ) lona . or Hoots, - which we know to be of the drat clam, in exchange for)a nominally equally mamma of paper, the 'value of which Is yet to be established. All we ari tam of with the new bonds, of companles which have their first mile of road yet to build, la that the Interest w ill be paid for three yearn. Nothing else Is guaranteed. Retaining the old bondis of the Pennsylvania Company and of the Allegheny Valley, which the Penn. •I yards km absolutel,- ay!, AM has ath. Jy guaranteed, prin. eipal and interest, we were sure to bo ablei to meet our debt maturing in the net two years, dollar for dollar, with. ou asking a now loan. Now, with these ne bonds, it is equally certain that we caltot sell them for their face, when the mixed' shall be needed, but must ask for a new loan. With 'our State credit Impaired as It has boea by this reckless extravagance, and by our habitual repu diation of our agreements, a new loan cannot be placed at par, We must pay for our own bad management, in a deep shave upon the new paper. The deficit must be made up - by new taxation upon the people. That is the whole story( The bonds- heretofore in the fund "sleep" there only until wanted. The Comailseloners are under no engagement to keep them until they mature in 1890. They may be sold in Wall street at any moment, at par, or near it. The credit of the Pennsylvania Railroad even—and everybody knows that it is much better than that of companies which as yet have no existence except on paper—is at a small discount, its first mortgage sixes being quoted at 99, and second mortgage at 97; but it is reasonable to presume that, with the general improvement now going on in financial affairs, their value would be at par in the course of another year. But ,whatever lie bonds now in the fund would sell for, no one supposes that .the unsecured paper of Jersey Shore, or Pittsburgh and Charleston, would Bell anywhere near as well. We Bey "unsecured," for the Pennsylvania Railroad will own these roads before three years expire, and the Slaking fund bonds wiR .be worthless. 'lf it be true that the bonds furnished to help the 'Pittsburgh and Charleston road are not endorsed by the Pennsylvania, hut by the Allegheny Valley, as 'asserted, the case is certainly made no better. •: Hitherto, the sinking fund assets have 'slept" quietly, not to be awakened until wanted, but hereafter, so far as any cash value is concerned, they will "steep" She sleep of death! We have "putoer talents under a napkin," and buried them so deep that no hated can reach them, no record Mall mark their resting place. —And thus we squander nine and a half millions of money, "to reestablish a splendid system of internal improve. meats !" If the people approve of it, when they come to be taxed for the re. placement of that money, and for the sa. halm:Ron of our great load of debt, all right ! - We want them .to understand clearly what is coming. ' . 11110 Q THE FORT WAYNE. ROAD The legal existence of the Pittsburgh Port Wayne lc, - Chicago Railway Com pany, as a corporation in Ohio, Is abort, to be =lonely questlonal in the Legitle. tureancrbefore the Comte of that State. Such is the report from COlumbus, which is printed in the Cincinnati Chronicle of the Bth. We annex the statement in full, es given by Its Columbus correspondent : Some time ago a reablutiort was adopt ed lathe Rouse, directing the Committee on Railroads to inquire Into matters re lating to the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and . Chicago Railroad. The committee immediately set to work with the zeal, that ao important a matter warranted. The opinion of the Attorney Gemmel was ,solleited as to whether the road had a corporate existonce in Ohio. In regard to this, the Attorney General, after fully giving the statusof the road since Its or ganization, says, to wit: "So far, then, It seems clear that the present Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Corn. pony is without a corporate existence under the Constitution and laws of Ohio. Under the Constitution of Penn. sylvania it can not exercise a corporate power in. Ohio." A franchtee to be 'a corporation is originally a part of the sovereignty of • State The State grant ed to persons desirous of exercising corporate powers a portion of this sovereignty. This sovereignty is Its original poallion,ror when so granted It can not exist ontalde of the State to which it belongs. It follows that this oampsny Ems no corporate existence in Ohio. Upon principles cif.coutity It has bean Permitted to operate that portion of its railroad in Ohio, subject In ell respects to the general laws of Ohio regulating raliroada. It la • grave question, and I do not nowpropose to discuss it, how far this question of comity ought to be extended to foreign corporations. Whether it should be allowed to exer cise the rights of eminent domain, or even to own' real estate in Ohio, or operate . and monopolize its great thoroughfares. It may be claimed that under the act of May 4, 1863, this new company has acquired the franchise to be a corporation. If this be the case, then It seems to me that section, article 13, of the Constitution is of but little avail, or section two of the same article either. This section of the Constitution can not be held to-warrant the perpottts. Con of specialtnivileges." In this way the Committee, after receiving this opinion, held several protracted and.stormy melons, and have finally agreed to report to the House that as the company le note corporation under the laws of Ohio, the recent. lease made by said company to the Pennsylvania Central Road of that pert of Its road which lies in Ohio le void, that increase of Its Capital stock seventy-Ave per cont. Is without authority of law, and that in view or them things, the, public welfare requires that the legal status of. the road shall be inquired Into by a court of law • having jurisdiction in such mails. The committee will also unanimously recom mend the adoption of the following: one:solved, 'That the Attorney General be and Is hereby directed to cause pro ceedings In nature of quo isarranfo to be Instituted against said company, and to prosecute the earns to final judgment with diligence.. As to other matters contained in the resolution, the committee would oak for farther consideration. These allegations; if sustained upon ' thorough investigation, may involve serious consequences. We incline, how ever, to the opinion that the cor porate existence of the Furl. Wayne ComPstny will be' legally- establish ed Itt that Mato, and that the present movement; viewed properly as a mere "drive" on the part of rival railway interests, against a prosperous and pow erful company, will prove to be I great my and no wool whatever. The idea Is not, In reason, to be . entertained for a moment, that the question of the legal status of this company in Ohio has been suffered to remain at any time In doubt, during the long period which has elapsed since the original charter of the several oompanies which were subsequently merged into the present corporation. Nevertheless, the proposed Investigation will have considerable Interest, and can not but result in a settlemeni of the gees tions suggested beyond the possibility op further controversy.

Cedar Rapids Road To VIE EDITOR OF THE NSW TORY TIMER: Conflicting interests seldom give one united voice of praise as they do in behalf of a great work now going for ward, which la to unite St. Paul, Minn., and Barllngton, lowa, by an air line railroad. It is scarcely possible to start a road in this great and noisy West which does not awaken the opposition of rival interests. But,whea there is an exception a first class road Is the result, if it be not the silliest of all attempts to enterprise, which by the way Is never true of Wrist ern roads. I know of not one in all the West which may be called a fancy or Utopian stock. Such a first class road was the Illinois Central, because it served everybody and hurt no one. I think you may Jock ever the length and breadth of the land, and if a road is to be built at all, and it conflicts with no great public Interest, it serves it, and must rise to a first clam stock, if it has not already risen. Such a road as this 1 speak of is the Bur lington, Cedar Rapids and Minnesota Railway, which has roused more energy and commanded more local capital than almost any railroad of these many years. The main object of the road is to drain the richest.wheat and other cereal pro ducing fields of -Minnesota and lowa of the tririlla which must otherwise remain constrained and limited. It runs from Mankato, a point where a road puts oat to the southward from St. Paul to Bur lington, lowa, through the heart of the far famed Cedar Valle,. the beat grain garden is the world. The productions in grain and other forms of wealth of the counties through which the road Is to run, have nearly doubled within two years, stimulated by the s,osi r .s.t of the early completion of the Woe. No one out foretell what great wealth la to coma to all this valley, and flow back upon the road. The sources of its wealth as a first-class railroad are Its bountiful harvests of wheat, corn and other grains; its many confluents of roads running into it, hold lug in its grasp the many railroads which center at St. Paul, and some six roads which it crosses and connects with the South; the control of the entire vilater trade of the Northern Pacific Railroad, now pushing forward 1,700 mlles to Paget Sound, and the greater part of the summer trade of the same, a large part of the Superior country trade, the coal, lumber, wheat and minerals of British America, and the emigration thence over all this region. These are some of the sources 01 Its wealth. New, besides this,. it will level this traffic by some twenty-eight miles nearer than any other route to Chi cago. It will bear and bung to itself the greater part of all the travel to and from this country, above Burlington, over the great Toledo route to the Atlantic coast, over the Cincinnati route, over the Ches apeake and Ohio, and over all arrest and projected lines to Charleston, Mobile, Savannah or another part of the South, across Virginia or resume. It will control all trade over the California Pa. eine Railway for all points north of Mil waukee and Omaha. It will carry all the trodeand passenger traffic to Bt. Louis and the South. andto domestic and foreign pore. In fact, this road genres some half dozen giant Interests equally wall with out-provoking opposition, via: the trade of Chicago for all parts wasted LaCrosse and north of Omaha; the California trade for the same district; the seaboard trade over the Toledo; the Cincinnati or any other southeastern route; its own local trade, which must be immense, and the St- Louis trade. _ I bespeak for the bonds of this mad, now offered In Eastern markets, a sale rapid and confident. Paying nearly 10 per cent. In currency, they are better than Governments, inasmuch as the prospect is that Governments must go as low as 44 per cent. soon, and are not more safe as an Investment. The earnings of all the roads In the country for /867 averaged $lO,OOO Per mile, while some reached AM per cent. of the whole cost per mile, If tbiaroadfor five years, just after it is opened, earns no more than $49,000 per mile, as the bond is only for $20,090 per mile, it Is easy to'see no safer investment in these. days could be found. This Cedar Valley road is being urged rapidly forward in every one of its three djys. lons to an early completion. 11l rumen cannot falf to have an imporian upon the prosperity of lows, and aboveabove and beyond that State. - C.
