Mr. Thomas A Scott was recently elected
president of the Sheiiandoah Railroad at a
meeting of the directors held at Charleslown,
Va. The Shenandoah road extends from
Harper's Ferry to Sulcm, Ya., a distance of
two hundred and thirty miles, and forms an
important link of the great Southern line
from Philadelphia and New York to 'ew
Orleans. ,
Hon. George Pendleton peremptorily do
'cfines to be a candidate for Governor of
Ohio, and the choice of the Democracy is
narrowed down to George W. McCook a
selection- which will be particularly disagree
able to Yallandighaui. Honest old i5en
Wade appears to be the favorite of the Re
publicans, and if nominated would le elect
ed by many thousand majority.
The reports of the Kuklux crimes con
tinue to multiply, but only for a short time.
Tha enforcement bill rigidly applied will
soon quell all disturbances. Opposition to
its provisions is rapidly passing away, and
its concise and practical terms and liberal
6pirit, in the full light of the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution, will
soon guarar.tee the life, liberty, and property
States.
The number of ex-rebels in Congress far
exceeds the number of "'carpet-bag repre
sentatives of the South." Of the twenty
two Southern Senators, only nine are of
Northern birth, and ono of those is a Dem
ocrat. Of the the fifty-nine Southern Rep
resentatives, forty-one are natives of that
section, and oniy nin! Northerners ; and of
this number of Southern Representatives
twenty-eight are ex-officials of the Confeder
acy. Th's statement effectually explodes
the cry of "carpct-bagercrs," and shows
that the Soul'i has more natives i:i Con stress
in proportion than many of the Western
States.
On the same day, May 1", that the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania assemble in con
vention, their brave associates of Kentucky
will convene, and ior a simil purpose.
They will meet, und'jr better auspices th;in
ever before. Last year i hey increased their
vote twenty thousand and reduced the Dem
ocratic majority forty thousand, and this
without polling more than one half the col
ored vote. Since then several ai.lu Repub
lican journals have been established iu the
State, and the Kuklux outrages have dis
gusted thousands of Democrats. They can
hardly hope for victory, but will nevertheless
make a gallant and indomitable fight, which
will not be without good re.-ults. Kentucky
is not naturally Democratic, and was only
tuude so by the force ot circumstances.
If anything were needed to demonstrate
the popular entbu.-ia.-in felt for Genera!
Grant the country has it in the spontaneous
welcome and cordial ovations that meet the
President at every point cf his trip West
ward. At Indianapolis, than which there
is not a more truly representative city of
Western cordiality and patriotism, he was
weleonwd with the heartiest demonstrations
of good feeling ; and at Lafayette he was
received with municipal and citizen honors.
Nothiug tests so accurately and fully a man's

The W, says: W. Mutchler, Esq.,
from Democratic headquarters, Philadel
phia, has issued a call for a convention of
his political brethren at Harrisburg on May
24 one week alter the Republicans shall
have met and nominated their ticket. He
states that, in addition to nominating can
didates, the delegates will consider matters
relating to the organization of the party and
the advancement of it princinles.
Int. I
Democracy are unfortunate ir. their selection I
of Harrisburg as the place for holding their
convention. The loyal Pennsylvanian in
his association of ideas is prone to revert to
a converj-.ion of the same party in the came
place some years ago, when the smoke of
lattle hal scarcely cplifted from the heights
of Gettysburg, and to the treasonable doc
larations of that 6anie convention. The
principles of the 'party as stated then are
tbe principles of the party to day. The
Bame men will very largely compose the
convention of the 24th insr., and we sug
gest that the i,arae platform be adopted.
Effect of the Ku Klux Bill. Infor
mation from tbe south is to the effect that
since the passage of the Ku Klux bill by
Congress, or rather since it became apparent
that the bill would be pase J, outrages are
less frequent. From the tone of the south
ern press it is evident that the leaders of
the Ku-Klux organization have come to the
conclusion that the Government is in earn
est in tlii.s matter, and that the President
intends to enforce the provisions of the new !
law with all the power at his command. T h
passage of the bill and the discussion which
preceeded its passage have had a good effect
in various ways. It compelled the Demo
crats in both Houses of Congress to uu
nia.sk themselves upon the great issues of
the day, and pltccd them in thair true at
titude before the countrj'. It brought the
Republicans "together, and proved the ne
cessity of more hurmoiious action. The
chances are that the mere existence of the
law will be sufficient to restore order in the
south, and the general impression is that
there will be 3i'e occasion for enforcing it.
Should the Ku Klux organization repeat
the outrages which occurred in several of
the Southern Scutes during the hist six
mouths, the Prcnideut will not hesitate to
use the full power conferred upon him by
the new law to suppress them.
The subject of overtaxing the miuds of
children in the public schools ty too many
and difficult studies is still attracting very
considerable attention in several eastern
cities. Those who had no knowledge or in
terest in the matter at first thought to
laugh down the whole thing as though it
wre, per se, ridiculous that children would
apply themselves to tho labor of study so
diligently as to injure their health. Rut
the testimony of many eminent physicians
has been brought forward to thow that this
is very often tbe most serious matter, de
manding the gravest consideration. The
Superintendent of the L'ostoa City Hospi
tal for the Insane, Dr. Clement A Wa'ker,
says : "I cannot doubt that the modern sys
letu of forcing tho tender bruin of youth
1 iys the foundation for the brain and ner
vous disorders of after years the cases of
melancholia, paralysis, softening of the
brain, and kindred diseases, becoming so
fearfully prevalent." Dr. George A. Stew
art writes: "Of late years the majority of
diseases seem to have assumed a nervous
type, which, in most cases, may be traced to
over taxation of the mental powers of the
young.:'
Men and parties generally proclaim and
act out what they feel and seldom take part
against that with which they sympathize.
It is plain, therefore, why the Ku Klux ras
cals are never rebuked by Deiuocratic lead
ers, and why they feci that they have their
moral support. There is not the shadow of
a doubt, that if the Democratic leaders only
loll so disposed, tht-y could cuango the face
tliey never make the attempt, simply be
cause they either approve of Ku Klusism
or are afraid ot dividit.g the party for the
Ku-Kiux. are an important wing of the
Democratic party. It was the rebellion that
united the loyal masses to save the Govern
ment, and tht-y will be no less united In the
coming Presidential election for similar rea
sons, which the Ka K!ux Democracy so
vividly illustrate. The blood of the mur
dered citizens will not be spilt in vain.
DKMocRATicTscoNSisTBXCr. The Dem
ocratic papers certainly show great inconsis
tency in advocating the repeal of the income
t;ix while, at the same time, they call for
the taxation ot national bonds. All the
exemption the bonds enjoy by law (saya the
ChieagJ is the provision that no
State or municipal corporation shall levy
taxes on them ; but Congress itself levies
an income tas o:i all incomes from bonds
excccui.ig $2,000 per annum, and this very
tax is the one the Democratic press insists
shall be repealed ! They wouid tax the
bondholder by repealing the only tax he
pays ! This is about as near a common
.-etise view of the public aCV.irs as they gen
erally reach. To demanl taxation and urge
its repeal in the same issue is highly char
acteristic of that party's method.

The decided tone of what we may prop
erly term the radical Democrats press of
the South, offers as good a reason as could
be desired for the non commitalisra of the
Democratic Congressional Address on the
future lwliey of the party. The frawers of
that address, and all the signers to it, and
all the leaders of the Democratic prty know
what their Southern allies expect should
the Democracy succeed to the control of the
government. And they are willing to con
cede to theiu all they want, in case of polit
ical success iu 187:2, and have probably
pledged themselves to such concession pri
ately but they dare not openly avow the
intention for fear of arousiug the indigna
tion and incurring rtie opposition of the
more sensible and moderate portion of the
Northern Democracy. Ilcuce the Congres
sional address makes no avowals of policy
gives no indication of the course of the par
ty in the future, and deals almost exclusive
ly in denunciations of YL'e President, the
Congress aud the Republican party. A few
extracts from Southern radical Democratic
papers may tend to enlighten some benight
ed Deuiccrats of conservative tendencies as
to the obligations under which their party
is bound to the South, or at least as to what
the South expects and wiil demand. The
Jacksonville (Alabama) Republican ridicules
the idea of "dead issues," and talks very
decidedly of what they inteud to do "when
the Democracy come into power, aud the
voice of the South is again potent in the
councils of the nation." It speaks iu posi
tive terms of the knowledge of the North
ern Democracy of what the South wants
aud will ask in cuie of success at the ballot
box. It says :
"They know that when the Democracy
pets into pow er the South wiil demand her
rights, both as a section and as States, and
they have already iniide up their minds to
yield us everything reasonable we ask in
that direction. If they have not done sn,
we have rro more use ior them than we huve
for the Radical party. . . . The right
to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
AiMC-iidiucRts by appropriate legislation is
where the Radicals find every excuse for
their despotic mca- utes.
Then
why pass
over these and strike at their results? At
least, as we go oti, let us be explicit as re
gards them."
Tho Atlanta (Georgia) Litellijencir is
certaiu that no Democrat can satiction the
Fifteenth amendment, which it denounces
in most unmistakable teruis, as follows :
"The Fifteenth Amendment is the plarue
spot on the face of the great charter ot A
merican freedom. This is the fruitful source
of our greatest woe, the authority claimed
for that iiifhmctns brood of laws which are
intended to enslave the people by destroying
the freedom ot the ballot, and placing the
country under martial law at the will of the
President. This wrong, this usurpation,
can never be sanctioned by one who stands

but which really has another object in view,

Other Southern Deiuocratic papers are

shadow the possible necessity, for the sake
of success, of concealing their real purpose
under feigned issues, as the Democratic ad
dress does. Says a Georgia paper, the Al
bany News, "It may be that we shall find
it absolutely necessary for harmony and suc
cess to hold in abeyance some of the prin
ciples wc regard as e.stnml to a ttilt and
perfect restoration of civil liberty and con

fooiish as to become recalcitrant and refuse

These extracts throw a flood of light tip
on the Democratic Address. They give us
the key to it, by means of which we may
look upon its inner works, trace its secret
springs and discover the motives that led to
its peculiar mechanism. Those who read

Now A.vrt Tiie.v. Nothing, pcrhaps,ean
give a clearer l.Jea of the growth of this
country within the past century than the
immense increase of pi st routes and post
offices. One hundred years ago, there were
less than fifty potofiiees in what are now
the United States. In 1775, benjamin
Franklin, who had been Deputy Postmaster
General under the British Government, and
had been removed because of his rbel pro
clivuies, was made Chief of the Postal De
partment by Congress, and assigned a salary
of 1,000 per annum. His greatest achieve
ment prior to that period was an increased
trtuil service tetween New England and
Pennsylvania, whereby "'answers might be
obtained to letters between Philadelphia
and Boston in three weeks, which u-ed to
require six weeks." The portal service of
the country now embraces nine bureaus,
13,0ia) mail routes, 7,300 contractors, ad
9,000 p8stmast?rs.
The amount of authiicite coal in the Uni

mined, the area and the thickness of the
Veins being known. The Central coal fields
comprising V2H square miles, have been oal

Southern coal fields, 146 stpiare miles, 11,
308,842,000 tons, and the Northern coal
fields, 197 square miles, 9,178,87:2,000 tons,
making a total of 470 square miles and 26,
342,675,500 tons, from which deducting one
half for waste in mining, there remains 13,
171,837,500 tons of marketable coal, which
will give us an annual supply of 20,000,000
tons for 6 -8 years, or for four centuries af

Tha Apportionment.
The apportionment bill passed by the
Legislature is coming iu for a liberal share
of denunciation from the intensely partisan
press of both parties. It is true that the
Republicans of some counties have been
unjustly dealt with, and the Democrats of
others deprived of their proper representa
tion, but these isolated and individual eases
are no argument again; t the bill in general,
or any reason for the Governor withholding
his approval front it. On the whole, it
does equal and exact justice to both panies,
and, as such, we stand by our original dec
laration that it will be acceptable to the
State at large.
The only objectionable feature is the ine
quality of the rates of representation. This
is apparent at a glance at the districts. But

atoned for in another. The majorities in

jority are ho less encouraging. Of the
eighteen Philadelphia distri-its thirteen are
Republican, and outside of tlie city tht dis
tricts are so arrrnged that we can, at almost
any election at which a full vote is east, se
cure more tutin the six majority ostensibly
awarded us. There is nothing in the bill
which justifies the name of gerrymander.
It is the best that could have bc'eu devised
in the anomalotiscondition of affairs at Har
risburg, and it aims to givi the fullest and
freest representation to all the voters of the
State, while securing to both political par
ties their right.--. It is neither infamous nor
unfair; and because it may displease our
friends in oue or two counties, atii cur ene
mies in one or two others, is no reason why
it should not become a law.
A Slate contemporary, complaining of
the injustice of the bill, cites as an instance
cf glaring outrage the case of l'hihdelphia,
which, with 158,032 tasahles, has only four
Senators, while another district, with only
60,000, has three. This is a glaring out
rage, bst it is perpetrated by tbe Constitu
tion of I'ennsylvanii, by whose provisions
no city or county is allowed to have more
than four Senators. Prex-i.
If the Ku lv'ux bill is an extraordinary
piece of legislation, Truy toll us what do
you call tbe Ivu-KIux bands? We Lave
plenty of indignation about the law in the
Democratic papers, but not a word about
the villians it was designed to punish. May
we not conclude, therefore, that it is not so
much the law itself as its uses that so much
disturb the Democracy ?
Affairs in France are still in a bad plight.
Fighting continues nearly every day, with
but indefinite fesults. But, it is to be
hoped, the end will soon be, aud that peace
will be permanent.
A joint resolution was passed by the
House- at Harrisburg, topay the members
of the Legislature seven dollars per day ex
tra, from April 7th. This is one of the ex
penses resulting from the Democratic frauds
of last fall.
Another revenue officer h reported this
week as killed in the discharge of his duties
in the south. , We shall soon have to add a
civil service pension .list to the burdens af
the war.
Remember that the Democracy are re
sponsible for the prolonged session of our
State Legislature and the consequent uselcs
expenditure of large sums of 'the people's
money. .
It is stated that, there is a probability
that the bill making the State Treasurer
elective will pass both houses. It has al
ready past-ed the Senate.
The Supreme Court at V,Tashington has
affirmed the Constitutionality of the L-'gul-tender
act.
