The bestowal of free passes upon railroads to Legislators, Councilmen, Judges and Edi' tots, is bitterly denounced as a system of bribery and corruption, made use of by rail.. road corporations to gain their own ends, or to conceal their misuse of the powers with which they have been endowed for the gene ral public benefit. Some have gone •so far as boldly to assert that any man,occupying a high position, who will accept a free pass upon a railroad, is a dishonest man. We are by no means willing to admit that our public men are made of such poor material as to be swayed from their sworn duties to the people, by such insignificant inducements as rail road passes ; we think, in the main, oar rulers and those who make our laws are honest and upright men, and are disposed to do what is right in behalf of their constituents, and to guard them by every means in their power against the great, growing and dangerous power of corporations, yet we think there is a manifest impropriety in their accepting fa' vors of any kind from corporations, upon whose interests they may officially be obliged to pass. We impute to no man dishonesty of motive or of action in receiving such fa vors, Wit is eminently proper for men in ree eponsible public stations, to hold themselves above suspicion. There is always danger in a gift, where an equivalent is not in some way rendered; even if the donor doeirtiotintend to place the receiver under an obligation, the . latter very naturally feels himself under such obligation,and this feeling, in a greater or less degree, interferes with his judgment and aide• pendence of action, when he comes to pass upon matters in which the giving party has interest. It is far better that all such obligee tions should be avoided, for honest opinions and honest actions may be attributed to influ. enees which do not exist, where the kind of favors of which we speak have been made use of. St. Paul said "If meat maketb my brother to offend, I will eat no more meat while the world standeth," and if railroad passes cause a man's constituents to distrust the honesty of his public acts, he should at least eschew them while he occupies any po sition of public trust, where there is the least probability of his even being suspected of be ing influenced by them. Thus we can see a manifest impropriety in Legislators, Council' men or Judges, while .occupying an official position, accepting a railroad pass, or any. other gift from a corporation of any kind, up on whose interest they may be called to leg's late or judge. They should be above the sus picion of extraneous influences, and no man of manly independence of character would de sire to be otherwise. They do not render an equivalent for railroad favors, or if they do, they place themselves in a most unenviable position. No public officer of this description should accept a railroad pass. The value of it is nothing in comparison with the injury which it may do him, in causing others ti misrepresent the motives which influenee his public actions. No matter how purely and honestly and honorably he may decide in his votes and his judgments—the acceptance of a railroad pass or other favor from any body corporate renders him liable to suspicion.— With the conductors of the public press the case is different. Their position is such that the obligation is reversed. In the daily cores duct of their journals, they render necessari ly to railroad companies and all other corpo rations and associations gratuitous services to ten times-the amount which they receive from them. If an editor receives a railroad pass, it is always for the purpose of using it for the public benefit, and not his own, and can in no way prove injurious to the public, because the press but reflects public opinion, it does not make= it. There are a thousand things, such as the reports of meetings, etas tistics of business, notices of changes of time in the departure of trains, announcements of new projects, trials of causes in the public courts, &c., &c., all of which the public is deeply interested to know, which the newspa per conductor pays large sums of money in 15th Gen.

Alexander the course of a year to lay before his readers, none of which ho is paid for, and none of which are of the slightest personal advantage to him, but only to the public. In the mat- , ter of naked advertising, the press is oblig ed to publish . for railroads, "at a reduc' tion from regular prices, and on this item alone, all that an editor travels upon his free pass in the course of a year, is paid for three times over. The public press at the best is but poorly paid for the labor which it does for the public, and if a railroad company by means of a free pass chooses to pay for a very small portion of this expensive and gratuit ous service, there certainly ought to be no ob jection thereunto on the part of the public, Who, after all, are the recipients of the ben efits. Editors travel very little, and when they do travel it 18 almost invariably upon business in which the public has an interest. By the position which they assume, they are the bath, erers of information for the public, and apy facilites which those who compose that pubk lie—whether individuals or corporations— may be pleased to furnish them, they look upon as hardly earned, and honestly paid for in advance. No editor is under the slightest obligation to any Railroad Company for a free pass on its road—he feels no such obli gation, for he knows that he pays more than doable price for every mile he rides. There is an obvious distintion in the rel ative positions to the public of the conductors of the public press; and legislators and judges, in this matter of free passes. If the latter ren der an equivalent for them, the public have a right to suspect at least, that their ser vants arc not acting with a free hand for their interest; the public in its craving de.. mands for all the news of the day, compels the editor to render more than an equivalent, whether he receives and uses a free pass or not. It is wrong to place the journalist in the same category with the legislator and the judge ; the one must get an equivalent for his labor from those for whom he does his work; the others are the paid and acknowl edged agents of the public, to make and ex pound the laws, and are not justifiable in ac cepting value from other parties while in the public service, if this value is bestowed with an intention of influencing their public acts. We have no personal knowledge that a judge in [the Commonwealth ever possessed a free pass on a railroad—some Legislators and Councilmen we know have done so in times past, but hereafter, if they wish to he " like Caesar's wife, ahovP suspicion " they will decline to use these " little pasteboards, " while engaged in the public service. WE are gratified to learn from the Keno, sha Tinzeß, the nomination of Beriah Brown, Esq., of Waukesha county, Wisconsin, by the Democratic Convention recently assem• bled at Racine, as the candidate for Congress for the District in which he resides. Mr. Brown was formerly an editor of the Argus and Democrat, a leading Democratic paper published at Madison, Wisconsin, and fulfilled his duties wilh great advantage to the Democracy . and credit to himself. He has been largely engaged in the political cons tests of the State of Wisconsin, and has been a prominent member and a faithful advocate of the Democratic Party, and has borne their banner with great intrepidity in numerous conflicts. He has been the representative of the party in the Electoral College, and is a firm and consistent supporter of the Cincin nati platform. Mr. Brown is a gentleman of unblemished honor, and of a most liberal dis position, active, persevering, and highly in fluential. The mantle of the party could not be thrown upon shoulders more worthy to bear it, and we wish him what we have no doubt his popularity will insure, a triumph over the enemies of our political faith. The President's Disposal of the Captured African.. Th.?, Washington Union announces the fact that the President had concluded a contract with the American Colonization Society for the subsistence and instruction of the Afri cans recently captured in the slaver tiow at at Charleston, for the period of one year after their landing on the African coast. We un• - derstand that this disposal of the Africans has been made with reference to pure con siderations of economy; it having been ascer tained on fuaknquiry that the cost of execu ing the directions of the law would be less under this arrangement with the Colonizatian Society than under any that could have been made with private individuals ; the character and reputation of the Colonization Society affording, in addition to superior cheapness, a guarantee of a faithful execution of the contract, which would have existed under an arrangement with private individuals person ally unknown to the government. As various discussions have been lately rife in the Union on the propriety of expediency of returning these captives again to their native coasts, and the subject has been treated as if the President possessed under the laws an option whether to send them back to Africa or retain them on this continent, it is proper to state that by the law under which his proceedings have been taken, he is allowed no such option as is spoken that alluded to, Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company.

JOHNSTOWN, September 11, 1858. J. P. Barr Esq.:—D ear Sir : —The Democratic conference of the eighteenth Congressional Dim. trier, comprised of the counties, Cambria, Hunt ingdon, Blair, and Somerset, met at Johnstown yesterday the 10th, and after the ninetieth ballot adjourned until this morning at 81 o'clock, when on the one hundred and eleventh ballot, C. L. Pershing was nominated. The candidates before the Convention, were Thadens Banks, of Blair, Judge Kimmel, of Somerset, and C. L. Pershing, of Cambria. The very best of feeling prevailed during tho time of the conference. All agree that Pershing is the strongest man. I have no doubt frond the split in the opposition, that Pershing will be elected by a large majority. Yours truly, C.

We learn by passengers over the Coving -ton & Lexington Railway last night, says the Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday, that a shock- I ing murder took place at Taits Creek, in Madi son County, Kentucky, on Wednesday eve. ning last. It appears that a man named Wade, and his wife Sarah - Wade, having been living very unhappily together, on account of an alleged intimacy existing between Mrs. Wade and a man named William B. Margrave alias Rice. On Wednesday evening, Wade returned home, and found Margrave at his house. Wade demanded that he should absent himself and never again return. Mrs. Wade took sidei with Margrave,and both commenced a tirade of abuse on Wade, to which the latter replied, using very severe language. From high words the parties came to blows, and Mrs Wade and Mar grave, with barrel staves in their hands, beat Wade to death. The murderers left their victim lifeless on the floor, and packing up all the clothing they wanted, eloped to parts unknown. A colored boy who witnessed the conflict, gave the alarm, and the neighbors far and near were soon collected. Wade was weltering in a pool of blond, and was beaten and cut in a most shocking manner. Pursuit was made for the murderers, and a descrip • tion has been sent to the police of that city, but neither had been arrested up to latest ac counts. The affair has created considerable excitement at Taits Creek where Mr. Wale was esteemed as a very worthy citizen, and Margrave regarded as a dangerous man; this being the third murder he has committed. We understand that the murderers have been traced to within thirty miles of Covington, FOUR THOUSAND DOLL ARS of Allegheny Valley 7 per cent. bonds, were sold in Phila delphia at 50 on Friday .

Camp Susquehanna al its Climax—Horning Scene., at the Camp—Grand Review and Speech by the Governor—Arrival of Gem Patterson, ..j• c WILLIAMBPORT, Sept 9th, 1858.—Camp Sue• quehanna culminated to-day. The night had been a livelier one than suited the somnolent pro - pensities of many of the excessive population. There wore not beds enough for more than two thirds of the human beings in Williamsport, and those who oonld not secure beds, cots, shake downs and soft planks, remained up all night, amusing themselves In various ways and disturb ing all others. There was a heavy fog in the morning, which made even the unpoetical streets of thti town look picturesque and dreamy. The distant mountains and hills were heavily draped with mist, and oven the dense, impalpable dust of tho streets and roads was subdued for a time by the condensing vapor. During the night there were large accessions, by rail-cars, canal-boats, carriages and wagons, to the already multitudinous population, and by nine o'clock, Williamsport, which is usually con tent to boast of six or seven thousand inhabit ants, must have contained twelve or fifteen thou sand. The fog cleared away by thin time, end the sun came out hot, tempered, however, by a pleasant Southeaoterly breeze. The multitude turned early toward Camp Susquehanna. Thou sands went in the oars, hundreds in vehicle; of infinitely varied descriptions, and more hundreds on ioot. By ten o'clock there must have been three or four th.msand visitors on the camp. ground, and the number increased every me•. ment. The view of the camp, rn approaching it from Williamsport, was very beautiful ; the crowd of visitors, the varied costumes, the lines of troops, the waving flags, the white tents, and the beau tiful framework of green hills that enclosed the picture, being particularly striking under the light of a morning sun. The military operations in the morning were unimportant. There were company drills, a general parade, and a review by General Case, of Northumberland - county.-- The afternoon was look forward to as the grard period of the encampment, and men, women and children kept crowding out to the ground. By the regulations, pedestrians were admitted wit ii• in the lines without passes, vehicles alone requir ing such a document. This liberality had thi effect of adding largely to the piotureeqe char acter of the scene ; for the slope of the hill, from the level parade ground to the line of the tents, was covered with people in costumes of all • eolors, which made a very animated • and beautiful picture. By four o'clock in the afternoon there could not have been fewer than ten thousand poisons in the field, beside the large number of soldiers that were in camp. A good many vehicles were within the lines and hundreds on the outside The booths were filled with customers ; the mon stroeities, the dog faced baboon, the wonderful serpents, the wild bsys, Sze., held large and pro fitable levees, and the refreshment saloons did a heavy business. It was considerably after four when the es, cort of cavalry from Williamsport, commanded by Col. Smyth, of Clinton, accompanying Gov ernor Packer, appeared in sight. The Governer was in an open barouche, and with him were Brig Gen. Riley and Col. Dougherty, one of his Aide. A Governor's salute of fifteen guns was fired as he entered the grounds, and ho drove immediately to the head, quarters of General Jackman, who received him and conducted him into his tent. The Governor was not in military costume, but wore a plain suit of black. The troops had been gradually taking their places in the parade ground, and towards five o'clock, Gov. Packer resumed his seat in his carriage, Gen. Jackman, Gen. Riley and another gentleman accompanying him.' Driving down the slope, the Governor passed around the line of troops, and his carriage stopped by the flag, staff on the plain. The troops then defiled past him, the cavalry having the right, and all teov ing in handsome order and making a beautiful appearance in the light of the declining ann.-- After the review proper was over, the troops formed a hollow square, with the Governor, the General Commanding and their respective staffs in the centre. Three cheers were then given by the whole force, and after the formal salutations were over, the Governor stood up in his carriage and addressed them in a speech highly flattering to As citizenosoldiers of Pennsylvania. ,10,397 47 86,322 47 83,676 80 7,751 60 mt et len London Papers `; ~~~: ~,/,lima: If there roy in Comm:,nder chief has a right to be proud Of her citizen sold.ery, that State in the ('ontmonwoalth cf Pelli.,ylvania From the first dawning of the RevolutiJa, down to the present moment, on every and :ill occa sions, her soldiery have , :otte their duty— their whole duty.

On the lake, under Perry, on the loud and the sea, throughout that eventful and sanguinary campaign, until closed in a blaze of glary at Now Orleans, un der the gallant Jackson, t'lo march of the citi zen soldier was the march of victory, and his stroke the stroke of death. When the tocsin of war was sounded in 1846, and the President of the United States balled upon the States for volunteers to march against Mexico, the lamented Shunk announced by pro clamation the quota that Pennsylvalla was re virtu to furnish. Such was the rash of our citizen soldiery to respond to the cell of their country, that Gov. Shunk, to avoid embarrass ment, decided that he would accept the com panies that first offered their services. Gallant little Cambria sent two full companies under this rule, who fought bravely and well through out the entire war. The number of companies reporting for duty, was quadruple the number required by the General Government,and among the first States that reported this qtf,eta of sol diers ready for service, was old Pennsylvania.— Those soldiers was in every battle ' from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico and the bones of many of them now lie 'bleaching at Vera Cruz, Cerro, Gordo, Psebbi, Cherububco, Mclera Del Rey, C-itreras, Clispult,pro, and the Oarita de Be les Their vict,r3 . - went up w h en th e 11).4 of our Union wta witAed on the Halls of the M-'ntrztinia.s.

Maguire Consul at Melbourne, who is a resi dent merchant there, vice Barr, deceased. Capt. Pleasanton will accompany Gon. Harney to the Pacific.
