FREE PASSES ON RAILROADS.
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

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,

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.

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,

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.

From the first dawning of the RevolutiJa, down

citizen soldiers, is n s of proud consolati-n,
nay, of exultation, in view of our trials and of
our triumphs
In the war of 1812, the history of out soldiers is
written upon the broken blade and hacked ar
mor of their country's foes. 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.—

I was taken with Fever and Ague. For eight long

and have had no return of the Chills or Fever what
