ALLENTOWN; PA., JANUARY 27, 1900 TrrE contested election cases in Philadelphia and elsewhere, now progressing, cannot fail to result in giving us the Congressmen legally elected. lion. Leonard Myers will certainly retain a position he has filled so long with such credit. lion. Caleb N. Taylor is also entitled to his seat in Congress and cannot be deprived of May fraud. ELSEWHERE will be found the call for a rneetingtof the Republican State Central Com mittee to flx upon a time and place for holding the next State Convention. We hope our member of the Committee, Mr. Edward Rube, will vote for holding the Convention not earlier than July. The people are tired of campaigning, and want rest and "peace." THE following United States Senators were elected on Tuesday of last week : PenusylVaula—John Scott, Republican gain. New York—Reuben E. Fenton, Republican. Maine—llannibal Hamlin, Republican.

THE committee appointed by the two houses of the Legislature to try the Hirst-Hare con tested ele'cbon in Philadelphia, on Thursday last reported, through thetr chairman, Senator Stinson, from Montgomery county, tliat Mr. Hirst had withdrawn from the contest for President .Tudge, and requested that the selec tion of Mr. Hare might be ctmtirmed. This action of Mr. Hirst is very commendable and will be appreciated by his numerous friends. WHO IN TO BE CENNITALED? The Republican party of Pennsylvania, un fortunately; is not without the element that casts reproach upon a political organization. 1, Indeed, dinhot • • exists in it to-day to a de gree that is no i fortable to contemplate. The party whiel is most powerful always at tracts within it ten not governed by principle, but who come to feather their own nests. The uprising of 1856 was a grand night—a party springing into existence as if by magic. Men Inspired by the laws of truth and justice, un aware of the hundreds of thousands intent on doing the same thing, without the faintest hope of a success, marched to the polls and recorded their votes against Democratic despotism, and the party which Democracy treated with con tempt on account of its apparent insignificance, arose to a party of kigantic proportions and caused fear and trembling in the ranks of the proud and defiant Democratic party. We were not successful, then, in electing our President, but Fremont's defeat was entirely owing to the immense frauds perpetrated by our opponents in the single State of Pennsyl- EMI In 1800, the political storm Increased. The laboring men of the North, threatened by Southern arrogance, defied the dictates of their former masters, rallied with the Republican party, and even the most sanguine of the De mocracy saw defeat staring them in the face, and it was then that the corrupt of other parties sneaked in among the patriots, and it was im possible to mark them out as men unfit Mr future political honors. In a party so new, what right had any one to question this or that man's motives for coining into it ? Now we can see the works of the dishonest and selfish,—and to guard against the machi nations of such—to teach unfaithful men duty to their constituents—is the business of the watchful citizen—and it is the fault of the people alone if they tolerate in high places those who prove themselves unworthy of the public confidence. In our State Legislature we see some Repub lican members openly repudiate all attempts to enforce economy'in public expenditures. No wonder the poor man sees the tax•colleetor approach with feelings of contempt for the government. He knows that thousands of dollars are voted every year to Tom, Dick, and Harry, for gothing else than reward for aiding their political friends to obtain office. The newspaper press contains the sure evidence of this daily extravagnnce and misapplication of the public funds. Looking to our Congress we see the sane reckless extravagance attempted with a broader field for operating. Pacific railroad schemes by the dozen are forced upon the attention . of men sent to Washington to legislate for the Public benefit. Millions of acres of the public domain are asked for to enrich the select few, and the Government is asked to be a machine for the grinding out of fortunes for unprincipled speculators. But we do not despair of making the Repub lie what it ought to be. The people are mark ing the unfaithful and consigning them to their political graiTs. • Already Dixon, Cowan, Doolittle, and (others, have prepared to enter • the oblivion awaiting all such. They will be followed by others who are making records similar to those named. THE PACIFIC RAILROAD, This great enterprise is approaching com pletion with a rapidity that astonishes the world. Over FIFTEEN (1,500) 11UNIERED . Iffit.Es have been built by two (2) powerful Companies: the Union Pacific Ti. It, begin ing nt Omaha, building west, and the Central Pacific R. IL ; beginning at Sacramento, and building east, until the two roads shall meet. Less than 250 miles remain to be built. The greater part of the interval is now graded, and it is reasonably expected that the through con nection between San Francisco and New York will he completed by July Ist. As the amount tifigovernment aid given to each is dependent upon the length of road each shall build, both Companies are prompted to' great efforts to Secure the construction and control of what, when completed, will be one and the Only grand Railroad Line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. One 'Hundred and Ten Millions Dollars ($110,000,000) in money have already been expended by the two powerlbi Companies en gaged in this great enterprise, and they will speedily complete the 'portion yet to be built. When the United States government found it necessary to secure' the construction of the Pacific Railroad, to . develop and protect its own interest, it glive the Companies authorized to build it such ample aid as should render its speedy completion beyond a doubt. The gov ernment aid may be briefly summed up as • follows : Ist. The right of Ivey and all necessary tim ber anti stone from public domain. • 2d. It makes p donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile, which, when the road is com pleted, will amount to twenty-three million (23,000,000) acres, and all of it within twenty miles of the Railroad. 3d. It loans the Companies fifty million dol. dollars ($50,000,000), for which it takes a second lien—thus pledging this sum hi the Company's First Mortgage Bondholders as additional security. The government has already loaned the Union Pacific Railroad twenty-four million and fitly-eight thousand dollars (24,058,000,) anal() the Central Pacific Railroad, seventeen million six hundred and forty-eight thousand ,dollars, (17,048,000,) amounting In all to forty. ono million seven hundred and six thousand dollars, ($41,700,000.) The Companies are permitted to lesue,their own First Mortgageßonds to the same amount as they receive from the United States ancluo more. The'Companies have sold to perma nent investors about ($40,000,000) forty mil lion dollars of their First -Mortgage - Bonds. The Companies have already paid in (ixiclud ing Belt earnings not divided, grants from State of California and Sacramento City and San Francisco,) upwards of ($20,000,000) twenty-five million dollars of Capital Stock. NDAT 113 THERE YET TO DE DONE In considering this queftion it must be re membered that all the remaining iron to finish the road is contracted for, and the largest por tion paid for and now delivered on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad • and the Central Pacific Railroad, and that the grading is almost finished- • 1:3=1 1811 TEE ROAD FIRST. They will receive from the govern ment as the road progresses about $9,000,000 additional. Si conn. They can issue their own First Mortgage Bonds for about $9,000,000 addi tional. TIMM The Companies now hold almost all the land they have up to this time received from the government ; upon the completion of the road they will have received in all 23,000,- 000 acres, which at $1.50 per acre would be worth $34,500,000. In addition to the above, the nett earnings of the roads and additional capital, if neces sary, could be called in to finish the road.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. WAsittNoroN, January 21, 1869 R ECONSTIWCTION TILE FINA NC F-4, nETVILN TO XPE CIE PAYMENT. The idea appears to bo gaining ground dully that the present Congress will do little or nothing. In regard to reconstru , Lion and the finances. There is a disposition among a majority of. the Republican monition, to leave these questions for the new udinintstrutlofi. There is scarcely any diflOrence of opinion among members that the country cannot enjoy substantial prosperity 1111(11 we retut n to specie payment, but there is is vast difference among them as to the lime when fills Should take place. It is not probable, therefore, that these discordant views 1(111 be mode to har monize during the short-time that still remains before the adjournment. In my opinion, a s peedy return to specie payment would prove highly in jurious to 'the great moss of the people. 'Whilst the man of largo means would pass safely through the crisis, the business of smolt dealers with very little capital would he swept away and utterly ruined financially. The poor man would be com pelled to bear the brunt of the convulsion. I= Two sets of railroad lobbyists are nt present assembled hero in full force—the oue representing. the Maryland and New Jersey monopolists, who are making strenuous efforts W defeat the Sher man bill, which grantschartersto three new rail road , companies, from Washington, New York and Cincinnati; the other representing the Cen tral and Union Pacific companies. Senator Sher man has already presented his views In an elab orate speech, in which he takes the l; round that it is not only the right, but the duty of Congress to proteet the people from oppressive monopolies. Whether or not the lobbyists will succeed in de feating the Sherman railroad bill, the discussion on this subject cannot fail to make still more plain to the people the fallacy of that State's rights doctrine, brought to life by the Democratic party and whilch would, carried td Its legitimate con- elmlon, practically superecilc the national gov ernment Some of the lobbyists of the Pacific railroad C nap roles nre salaried. It is said that an ex-m -sista nt Secretary of the Treasury receives slo,oooa year from the Central company. The Central Pacific, which traverses California and meets the Union Pacific at Salt Lake, tins already realized 810,0110,000, besides receiving public lands enough to almost constitute an empire. It Is asserted here by those who ought to know, that both com panies have built their roads out of money real ized from the first mortgage and the bonds grant ed by the government. Thisracific road will un doubtedly prove a great benefit to the country, es pe c ially the cemmlkrena interests. but It 11111 V at the same time become a great monopoly. It Is well that Congress retains control of the road. Besides the above-mentioned railroad lobbyists there are agents of a hundred different little schemes, urging members of Congress to press their "little bills," but they will scarcely meet with success, because of Gen. Grant's well known hostility to all projects givlngaway land'. or money of the government. Ills will amounts to a power In both Halls of Congress. It to prob ably more potent now than it will be after tile Hit of March next, after %Welt date the gratitude for favors expected will gradually grow less and less ardent. C=Eil The new religion or philosophy known as Spir itualism, is making rapid progress in th4s city. The two large halls at which their lecturers hold forth are always well filled, and frequently too small to contain all those seeking Ingress. As spiritualism Ls making rapid progress in other parts of the country as well as here, it becomes a matter of interest tonic American public to know what this new theory really Is. The spiritualists do not claim that. the philosophy they teach Is new, but a more perfect conception of a feet that has existed anti been taught, with more or less distinctness, front the earliest to the present time. The main features or moral teachings of Spiritu alism appear to be these: That there is an infinite intelligence which peo ple call God. That we live after the body is dead and buried. That the said spirits are around us, more or less good and bad, and can and do communicate with mortals. That heaven and hell are conditions, not local ities. That we matte our future conditions ourselves by our liven in the form. That there Is no savior In an especial sense, hut each must work out his own salvation. That under or In certain conditions mortals are Inspired ; hence Inspiration la a permanent fact In human history. That there Is no authority but truth : hence th Illble Is not God's revelation; truths in It and elsewhere are sacred, 1,1 man's highest convictions of right must be his authority. That human progress, hero and hereafter, Is a feature of human nature, that means, eventu ally, universal salvation. Thomas Gales Forster, ono of the expounders of modern Spiritualism in this city, in one of his lectures, Rays: "Man is a progressive being, Ile is continually rising higher and higher in knowl edge and power. and In future years, when he shall have mastered this problem of Spiritualism and fully comprehended the philosophy of the future state, when the two worlds shall touch, and the spirits of both communicate with each othqr, then, and not until then, will come the millenium—the heaven on earth." It is claimed here by Spiritualists that Presi dent Lincoln was a non Dellever In the philoso phy, and that on all important •arid intricate questions of state he consulted the spirjts through Robert Dale Owen, author of "Footfalls on the Boundaries of Another World." I cannot speak intelligibly as to the martyred President's views or feelings on this subject, but SecretarlesSeward and McCulloch, Judge Edmunds, and other gov ernment oillcials whom I might name, avow themselves believers In the Spiritual philosophy. SOMETHING ABOUT 'THE REGISTER." The neat appearance of Tits: REOISTER, the ap propriate selections, nud the Industry and good taste manifested in Its general conduct since the change of proprietors, excites my admiration, and If the Republicans of Lehigh county do not double your subscription list in the next six months, they must have changed their former activity fo lukewarmness and lethargy. Let them bear the philosophic tact In mind that no truth however great and no principle however vital can reach the • mindatt the people, or ever meet with success except by propagation; and what better medium can be found for the purpose than the press?

The office-seekers are generally most Interested in them. These balls seldom pay expenses; goner ally leaving a deficit to be met by a few . ambl.

Many of the ministers of churches hero have done away with sermons on Sunday evenings, and Introduced lectures instead. The lectures are mostly on biblical subjects and historical facts connected with Christianity from the earli est to the present thne. The Rev. Dr. Samson. on eloquent Papilla minister and President of Columbia College inaugurated these lectures Inst winter. In his lectures last winter he contended that the hooks of the Old Testament were merely historical works. In one of his lectures th s win ter lie takes the ground that the Old Testament Is "temporary in its rites, partial In its social regu lations, imperfect in Its union of civil and reli gious sanctions, and incomplete In Its moral re quirements." I= The Rhoads and admirers of Carl Shurz In this city aro well pleased that he has received the cou rtw nomination of the Republican members of the Missouri Legislature as United State Senator, itUve especially because his opponents, Messrs., Drake, Henderson and Loan resorted to such des perate, and I regret to say, not very honorable means to defeat him. Ile Is undoubtedly the choice of a large majority of the Republicans of Missouri; and I believe it Is the wish also of a majority of the Republicans of the North and West that ho should be placed In a position where the natlo will lie inure apt to secure the benefit of his logic, and listen to his eloquence. OUR HARRISBURG LETTER. HAnniaanna, PA., Jan. 23, 1869, =CO The most exciting legislation of the past week has been in reference to a bill extending the term of Richard Peitz, reedier of taxes of Philadelphia, until the contested election in the case is decided. Mr. Molloy, the Demo cratic candidate, was returned as elected, and in the case his sureties are approved, will take possession of the office on Monday next, un less this bill is passed. The House has passed the bill by a party vote, one Republican, Mr. Nicholson, of Beaver, voting with the Demo crats. tinder the rules the bill was to conic up in the Senate on Friday morning. But when the Senate was called to order only fif teen members, two less than a quorum, were found present, every Democrat having re mained away. Of course the only thing the Senate could do was to adjourn over until to day. , There are one or two Republicans that will probably remain away with the Demo crats, and thus prevent the bill being passed until after Melloy is sworn into office. = The joint committee to try the contested election case in reference to the office of Presi dent Judge of Philadelphia, reported to the Legislature, on Thursday, that they had re ceived a letter from Mr. Hirst, the Democratic candidate and contestant, withdrawing from a contest which he said had alwayS been dis tasteful to him, and requesting that the election of Mr. Hare might be confirmed, as he was satisfied there were sixty majority in the Fif teenth ward in addition to what had been re turned. The committee were therefore unan imous in reporting that Judge Hare is entitled to his seat, and were discharged from further consideration of the matter. In the case of Bunn vs. Witham, in which the latter was returned ak'elected from the Xlth district of Philadelphia, to a seat in the House by a majority of twenty-five, the evi dence on the part of the contestant was pre !seated ou Tucsoay Mat. The witnesses, Mi chael Slavan and Christian Lamb, each testi fied to having voted the Democratic ticket ten times on the same day. Two other witnesses stated that they had followed a party of men oh election day and sate them vote a number of times at different precincts. It is not ex pected that Mr. Witham will attempt much of a defense, and there seems to be but little doubt of the committee awarding the scat to Mr. Bunn. I= Mr Osterhout has introduced into the Senate a bill providing that no interest, nor.policy of law, shall exclude a party from being a wit ness in any civil proceedings, except in the cases of husband and wife, counsel and client, and where one party is dead the other shall not testify to any admissions made by the for mer. This law, substantially, is now in force in the States of Maine, Ohio, New Jersey, illassachudeits, New York, Connecticut, Mi chigan and perhaps others. The same rule obtains in the English Courts and also in the District Courts of the United States. The law has been found to work well in most cases, and among the best legal minds of the country there seems to be a growing sentiment in fa vor of such a rule. A similar bill has been be fore the Legislature nearly every session for a number of years past, but there now appears snore probability of its becoming a law than eyer before. ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATOR The formal ballot for U. S. Senator was had in each house on Tuesday. The aggregate vote stood for John Scott 78, for William A. Wallace 111, for Relater Climer I—that of Sen ator Wallace. Senator White, Republican. and' Senator liDCandless andß epresentative Nelson, Democrats, were absent at the time the ballot was taken. . . A committee of the medical society of Penn sylvania have presented to the Legislature a memorial urging the propriety of enacting a law which shall so determine the relation of the insane as to protect the medical profession in giving certificates of insanity, the insane from improper influences, awl the community gen erally from injustice and oppression. In the memorial a history is given of the mode in which patients are admitted into hospitals for the insane, and the whole subject thoroughly discussed, showing how difficult it is in many cases to secure the admission of proper sub jects. There is alko accompanying the memo rial a bill designed to cover the defects in the present system, and to secure in future amore speedy and sure asylum for those thus unfor tunate. This is a subject which demands the most careful attention from our legislators, and should incite the co-operation of every person who has the least spark of sympathy for those less fortunate than himself.
