The meeting on Wednesday even ing of last week at Cooper institute of prominent New York /merchants and others, to con sider the transportation question, was large and earnest enough to show that this subject is' one of vital importance and of general interest to the country, and especially to the City of New York, in whose inter ests mainly, the meeting was held. Two burdens, the extortion of car riers and inadequate transportation were made prominent by ~the speak ers; and the attention of both the Eastern merchants, and the West ern farmers was directed to them as the chief causes of evil complained of. The New York merchants have become alarmed at the growing prosperity of rival cities, and the superior advantages some of them seem to possess over New York in the matter of cheap transportation for Western products, and they are anxiously casting about to see what can, and ought to be done to pre vent Canada, or New Orleans, or Priladelphia from diverting from New York a large part of her trade, and thus injure the commerce that leas made her great. A four-track freight railway to the west and the enlargement of the Erie Canal to double of its. present capacity, to gether with such practical legisla tion as should restrict and regulate the railroads in regard to watering stock, and the rates - of freight, were proposed as remedies. The whole Ineetion of Cheap transportation is mow pressing upon the country. Senator Windom's committee have "been, and is how, busy investigating it and their report will doubtless add much useful information on the subject, and be read-41 — ifat in , terest. T seems to be conceeded that certain Republicans of Philadel phia, occupying positions of promi nence in the Republican party, are openly or secretly sup porting Judge Ludlow and expect to carry the city for him. Love for Ludlow is not the ruling motive with many who are in the conspiracy to defeat Judge Gor don. The Ring is, indebted to him for favors past, and can trust him in preference to Gordon for future favors. Then his election would make a vacancy on the Bench of Common Pleas, which the Ring is anxious' to fill. This is the se ezet of Gordon's danger in Phila dephia, as we have it from gentle men in the confidence of the con spirators. The Republicans engag ed in the movement should know that Philadelphia will not elect Ludlow. Ten thousand majority there -will not be sufficient to over come Gordon's majority outside of the city, and they will get all the odium that will necessarily attach to their treachery, without success to - "compensate them. In any event the Republican party will not fail to bold Philadelphia responsible for failure of duty. If Judge Paxson's friends take this matter in hand we know they can carry the city for Gordon. The disaffection is not among the masses, but is confin 'ad to a few politicians. Let Phila delphia elect Ludlow, anti it will be uselesa to preOent a candidate from that city to ai Republican Conven -Con for yews Ito come. Jndge Gor don was fairy' nominated, is quail :fied for the ppsition, and the party will not permit his defeat through treachery, without resenting it in - tie future. BEAVER. PA«. STATE. JUDGE OF SUPREME COURT, Treasurer. MI Tun Constitutional Cinivention reassembled on Tuesday last, and elected Hon. - John H. Walker Presi • ent. The Convention is pledged to submit the Constitution for „rati fication before the first of January, and if that pledge is redeemed it , will be the only one Yet. Had the Constitution been submitted in Oc tober, a large part of it would ,have been ratified. What the result will be now, no one can pfidict. Few will even read the code of laws called a constitution, for the same reason few ever read Pardons digest. There" is muds . that is good in the lengthy document however, and we hope much of it will be adopted. The - article on legislation, and the Legislature, although long enough for constitutions for all the States, should be adopted. On the whole, it will be a great improvement, and ebaage in that respect is nec essary. As the constitution pro vides for the election of Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of Internal af fairs, avid Superintendent of Public instruction all new elective offices, we presume they will be voted for at the same time the Constitution is submitted. What any one wants to elect these officers for, we are un able to tell, but the fact they are to be elected will do much to secure the adoption of the Constitution if the vote is taken at the same time. It would not be NN ise for members of the Convention to be candidates for office at that ellion however. Af ter spending one year doing the work of two months, and taking fifteen hundred dollars more out of the Treasury than they agreed to serve tor, it would not answer for any member of the Constitution, no matter how good his record, to run for one of these extra offices provi ded in the Constitution. There are too many offices now, and the people dont want additional ones, with the expense of electing them every two or three years. Providing that the Governor should not be reelected, is well enough, 4 but the remainder of the article on Executive is not want ed, and will not be adopted if the people understand it. , Our only fear is that the objectionable por tions of this formidiable document will carry the whole down, and we would prefer taking the whole rath er than lobe all. Gentlemen of the Convention, get through, and let the people vote be- fore they become so much disgusted as to - neglect it altogether! CAPT. CFIARLES B. IhitsT, the Democratic candidate for Treasurer is traveling the county soliciting Republicans to vote for him. This is rather remarkable in view of the fact that he is one of the most un compromising Democrats in the county. For fifteen years he has been one of the most active leaders of that party, and the bitter politi cal enemy of every candidate nomi nated by the Republicans whether National, State, County, or even Borough. It has been his boast that he never splits his ticket, and it is strange he should ask his Repub lican friends to do what be never does. That he is a clever gentle man, and qualified for the position, no one denies and the same must be said of the Republican candidate by the friends of Capt. Hurst. Why then should Republicans vote for Hurst? We don't believe they will, and are only surprised it should be asked or even expected. Mr. Mann is a gentleman of high character, possessing all the qualifications nec essary, is and has been an active . Republican, supporting all the can didates of the patty, and is there fore entitled to claim every,Repub lican vote in the county. Having an honest and capable candidate of our own, Capt. Hurst must expect his Republican neighbors and friends to treat him as he would treat them if they were on the Republican tick et. Having practiced - the rule of unqualified party allegiance for fif teen years, he will respect Republi cans more who adhere to the same good rule. NEXT to Grant, Mackey is the most popular candidate ever pre• sented in Pennsylvania. It is not a question about hie election as it was with Grant after October but only how large his majority will be. It may not exceed Grants, but this will depend altogether on the vote polled. THE ARGUS AND RAPICAL: WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER, 24, 1878. IT is said Judge Black's iron clad oath which requites members of the - Legislature under penalty ofdisfran chisement, to swear at the close of each session that he has not been bribed, was carried in the Constitu tional Convention by the votes of former members of the Legislature who could be convicted on general rumor, at least of perjury, it they took the oath they were prescribing for others. Knowing how it was themselves, they were anxious all who followed in their footsteps should be certain to follow theiuk to perdition. If the oath would answer any good purpose it would be well enough, but as every man who takes a bribe violates his oath of office, and is perjured any way, a rep etition of the offence wont hurt his concience A man who takes a bribe will swear a lie to conceal it, and knowing this fact we are sur prised at those having personal ex perience in such matters voting with Black. Let the Convention require all its own members to take a simi lar oath, and if any hesitate it may be wise to require other officers to do so, but, if all take the oath, it will be sufficient to convince even Judge Black that his oath is worthless. All the oaths that could be written would not make an honest man out of a scoundrel. The only remedy after all is to elect honest men. JUDGE HOAR of Massachusetts wants to be Chief Justice of the United States, and a few good law yers in Pittsburgh and elsewhere have named him as a suitable candi date. He was nominated for asso ciate Justice by Grant and rejected by thq Senate with the approval of the whole country. Suon after he was forced to retire from the Cabi .net because he was injuring the party and the administration in that position. In view of these facts it is surprising his name should even be suggested- He has, ability, but not of the high order necessary, and is beside a cold, selfish, repulsive yankee, a kind of man that should never be placed in position in a free country. In his first argument be fore the Supreme coutt of the Uni ted States he insulted Judge Nel son, and was publicly reprimanded and forced to apologize by Chief Justice Chage. For the credit of the country we hope he is not thought of for the position. Tin Ohio Republicans are active, and the public meetings held in dif • ferent parts of the State are lerOy attended and most j enthusissOc. , We predict a glorious 'old-fishioned victory in Ohio. 7 - hf.A3tv good citizens of Big Bea- Ver township - are dissatisfied with the act of the Legislature repealing the. Road law for that township on the grotiiad that the repeal , leaves the township without any law on the subject, and hence their' roads are neglected. This dissatisfaction, it is alleged, is being used to the in jury of a portion - of the Republican ticket, A simple Astatement of the case is sufficient to satisfy sensible and reasonable men there is no foun dation for.thelso complaints. The Legislature at, the session of 1870 on the petition of a large number of tax payer of that township passed a special road law for Big' Beaver township. A majority of the - tied voters at the ensuing election showed their disapproval of the law !)y electing supervisors hostile to the law, and at the next session of the Legislature petitioned for its re peal. As the friends and enemies of the law were so evenly balanced that it was difficult to determine which side, had the majority, it was agreed that the question of repeal should be submitted to vote at the Fall election in 1872 and if there was a majority in favor of repeal, then the law should be repealed. This was done, and a majority voting for repeal, the Legislature repealed the law. When the special law was re pealed, it restored the old law, be- cause the law repealing the old law being repealed, carried with it the repealing section, and restored the former law. This principle ie well enough understood, and we are sur prised to learn of the misunderstand ing and bad feeling existing. With this explanation, we hope the difli culty will be removed and the whole ticket receive the lull party vote. POLITICAL .NOTIM =EI TELE Republicans of the county are igited; from every township, ind borough we receive encouragin g re ports. Friends, keep up the'fire all along the line! ,give the enemy no rest until the second Tuesday of Oc tober, and then drive him into the "last ditch," if possible. Tam New York Evening Post says that, our State financial system is better than that of any other Ste, '.ass liable to abuse by false returns and erroneous assessments of prAtp* erty, and much more prompt and economical. The praise is just and due to the Republican party, under whose administration the system has been perfected. A vote for Mackey for State Treasurer is a vote to con tinue the same wiMe Republican fs nanci al policy. IN many counties in the West the Democratic party is disbanding, in other words played out; in other sections it is in a condition of "su-4- lime unfixedness." In this county and State the Re publicans on the 14th of October, will bury it beyond all resurrection, provided they go to the Polls. Therefore we say vote, and vote early and see - -that every Republican in your district casts his ballot. i rns election takes place two weeks from next Tuesday. We again urge our friends throughout the county, and especially the com mittee men of each distries4 to make arrangements for polling our full vote. Our majorities ought to be increased over those of last Octo ber, and will be if proper attention is given to getting out the vote. Our candidates are faithful R•pub licans, honest and cow'petent nominated fairly by the people, and should and would receive the hearty support of every Republican. THE Centenni a l Executive Com mittee of Pennsylvania have ap pointed Hon. Daniel Agnew, B. B. Wilson esq. Jacob Henrici esq. Hon. B. B. Chamberlin, Col. M. S. Quay, Capt. G. W. Hamilton, Jim Patter son esq. anikek - 4 S. B. French, a committee for Beaver county. The amount appropriated to this county is $6,024 60. This is to be raised in stock, each share being ten dol lars, payable in five installments on which interest will be paid until Jan. Ist 1876. The amount is not large, and we trust will be sub- Scribed at once. Other counties are pledging their full share as soon as called upon, and surely Beaver will not be behind in, this laudable work. THE Republicans in Huntingdon county are divided between the Scott wing avid the Woods wing of the party, and a terrible fight is be ing waged between them.' Each wing has nominated a ticket, and both are contributing all they can to the election of the Democratic tick et. This fight began soon after Scott's election to the United States Senate, and has resulted in electing Democratic Congressmen, Senators, and Assemblymen, when they were most needed by Republicans. The party outside of the county has been in sympathy with Scott, bat at home the party is about evenly di vided. The loss of a Senator and member in that District will serious ly effect Senator Scott's prospects of re-election which is probably the result aimed at by the Woods fac tion. Tx E Detnocratic party has been, and is the most corrupt and unprin cipled partyi in the country. From its head sprung the Rebellion and in its hearty was nurtured the treas on that threatened the very life of the nation. For years Tweed, S wee ny, and Co. of Tammany Hall noto riety held the party in their control and poisoned it with corruption. How utterly unreasonable it is to expect the rotten Democratic party to correct abuses, or to achive re forms. Where are their reform leaders? No one an fiEid them, but Demoeratio plotters, salary grabbers, jobbers, retailers, and tricksters are numerous. When the Democratic party turns to be progressive and Dare, and is again entrusted with power, the great political millenni um will have come, when the graves shall open' and , the dead come forth and corruption . put on incorruption POLITICAL.
