Railroad Law. The following, clipped from the I'itts- | bfargh Commercial, is a synopsis of a. Qeneral Railroad law, which Repsiselt; Utirc Harbison of Lawrence county, «- tends soon to present, for \Jie considera tion of the Legislature. It remains to be seen, whether the Representees of the people will carry out their icstrunctiomi, and give the people soHietiwag tangible, »nd not permit themselves to be controll ed by monopolies. It is about time that the will of the people should be carried out by such legislation as will prove to be beneficial to all sections of tho Com monwealtb, and not confine their action ip favor. of those who have controlled the itlme for The people have per mitted of things, until forbear ance, in till* direction, has ceased.to be a virtne. If we are to have a geneial Railroad law, let it be one, that will be operative in its provisions, and not hem med in and fenced, by.influences iutend» ed to benefit the few at' the expense of the people,, The following is tho synopsis, above rffe/red to : HARRISBURU, Jan. 5, 1867. lion.

It appears that during the recent campaign the Secretary of the Navy is sued an order for the discharge of all men in the navy yards thet did not endorse the President's pokey, and a member from Philadelphia, Mr. Q'Neil said that this order was faithfully Executed. In (he Philadelphia navy yard', a hoard of three high naval officers was constituted a grand inquisition Court of Inquiry , the political faith of every man wuq ascer tained, an official report was made to the Department, and a largo number of wor thy and capable men, some of whom had served during the war, were removed as being Republicans. Tin: ASSASSINATION PI,OT. —It will be recollected that at the last session.the House Judiciary Committee made a par tial report on the complicity of Jeff. Dak vis in the plot to assassiuate President Lincoln. They intend to continue their inquires, and to summon John ii. Sur ratt before them the moment he arrives here, with a view of taking his evidence in the premises. It has been deemed best to do this before he is brought to trial.

EDITOR :—Having some business to attend to at Ilarrisburg, I left Hutler on Wednesday morning last, in the Pitts burgh stage, being an open box on run ners It was excellent sleighing, but a little cold for comfort. We reachrd Ha kcisl'iwn lor early dinner; alter piirta* kiug of which, we were tianslcrred to a I jack, wbiellj on account of its pioteet ing us from the cold air, was quito ac-. ceptaWe. Reaching Pittsburgh? at half past three, I took the 10 o'clock train for the East, arriving in Ilarrisburg at 'J the next morning after a comfortable night's rest in the sleo[>in« carl old' and familiar faces were arid many r«cjjj;yi>l greetings passed. Activity was visible everywhere. Tim approach, ing inauguration was the leading subject among one class of tho citixens, and was tho cause of unusual activity in the Ex ecutive Department. Secretary Slifor, and all the Clerks in the Department, were very busy, closiug up thr-. business at their various preparatory to the approaching change. With politicians the Senatorial tion seemed to be the absorbing theuio Your readers are, doubtless, already aware of the final result. The mode, however, by which that result was reached,may bo. of some interest to them. Indeed, Leon- Bideritof vtyal interest. It is a fact well known to tho observer of passing events that Governor Curtin wns the choice of the people for the position.— Why, then, it is natural to inquire, was he not chosen ? The primary reason is, beoause he did not get votes enough.— Hut why the representatives of the peo ple saw fit to disregard the expressed wishes of their constituents, may possi bly remain a matter of inference Con sidering General Cauieren's past history —in connection with this office, —to say nothing of former occasions, the remem brance of his arrangement with 15oyer"in 'O3, by which he agreed to pay him twenty thousand dollars for his vote, the public judg mont] will unerringly settle on the conclusion that the people's, will was overcome wilh his money ! To give a detailed account of tho extent of the perfidy which resulted in his nomination, would Require more space, thafi I could reasonably ask. I will, therefore, take only a few casca, as samples ; and in the first place, our county in convention pass ed a resolution declaring Curtiu to be the choice of our people, and requesting our representatives to vote accordingly. Lawrarii-o county done tho sauie In ?>ierccr no organised action was taken,but tho Djijjutcli, the party organ, declared (bat CuHaty v#s the cfioice of their poo pie: this ayouueement was never called in question by any. Uvcr and above all this, as question was canvassed the sentiment ot the people be, came more ue* fined and intensified. Under these cir cumstances,had we not a right to expect a united delegation for the Governor?— Certainly we had. How then were our expectations fulfilled? Mr. Pillow of our county doue hia duty by voting for Cur tin, while our Senator, and oiir Repre sentatives from Mercer county, voted for —— Orow ; and Harbison of Lawrence county, voted direct for Cameron ! Hav ing no doubt in mind as to the cor* rupt influences that were controlling some and having confidence in the integrity of our Senator, I sought an interview with him, in the course of which I attempted to persuade him of wishes of our people. He treated me with great frankness, and waived the necessity of my laboring to convince him ot the sentiment of the district, by at once admitting that in every jiounty of the district, the people were in favor of Curtis'* celectiod,and in none more than his own where the sentiment, |ie said T/as, overwbeling. He further informed me that there wus a delegation of his friends here pressing upon him the pro priety ol hia voting for Curtin, but that, hotwithstanding all this, he bad pade yp his tnind to vote for Grow first, and Ste vens second. I suggested to him that ours was a government ot thq people,that their will should be tho law; that repre sentatives were chosen as a matterof con venience, because all could *ot conveni ently meet to enact laws, and not because they, as a class, were considered wiser than their fellows. He admitted the theo ry as a general one to be correct, but seemed to think it subject to exoeptions He assured me that it would give him great pleasare to respond to their will. But that he thought Cuitin not suffi* ciently radical, and gtated as an evidence the fact that, on Curtin's return 'from Cuba last printer, he called upon him to counsel fq reference to the franchise bill then befon;'Coogress, and that the Gov ernor was not then in favor of the meas ure. 1 replied that the election 'was between Cameron aud Curtin, that al -1 though Cameron's mouth was shift'dur* ' ing the discussion ot the whiile'qiifntiou yet it was worthy of remark that at a -- i-J »iir ■ •_£. JT later day in tho session, when liu and others were pressing a resolution of in structions through tlie State Senate, through the influence of Hall Cam •> oil's right bower in that )>■ 1 , t! •• n->.. lution was buried in the budiy ~i tli Judiciary Committeo trom whence ii. wu» never resurrected; that lt«H had also declared that he would Ktaud by John son's Administration. L have further added that Cameron's organ, the Tilrflrajih, continued to lu'fljj lulUouie eulogies upon .Johns HI an I > abuse all who opposed. It nnylit IIMI, R t>o <>ii— served that the !- tin I e<l States, at that s- v bili. It is « <vth\' i ! 11 link here, that, line Lincoln, Ctmju MIEI J,IMIU.-S!!II tii leud publir scutiuicut. litii wua always content to keep pucc with it. During the prosecution ol the waf, the Goveif nor contented himself with sustaining the policy of the Feiferjil Government,' responding toailTliei calls ftir ..en. and with'ministering to Hit; wants til our soldiers wherever Inuud. Wlieu tl)u great recohsti uction moa ure ufUongresi, —the C'JUstitutinnal amendment, was passed, he was the fiist Governor ill the North to propose its early adoption. In his late message, too. ho takes strong ground as to the radical purer* J of the Federal f-Jovijnuicut Congress having at its present session passe 1 the franch.se hill which it declined to do at the last session, he fully concurs iu il.— It is worthy of remark, too, that this fact was L nown to our Senator. For iu an swer to his question, tha Governor, as 1 was informed by one present, assured him, that, liad he been in he would have voted with his party to pats the bill over the veto. Hut it is qrtite unnecessary to follow this brunch of the cose any farther. If a representative has a riyht to iguore the judgment of ten ithousnnd voters who elect hiui to rrprc■ Kent ihem, then,wo have no right to coin« plain. Itut this I hold to bo a position at war with the fundamental principle upon which our govern men t rests. Fr.im its earliest history, too, it has been the custom of the American people to exer cise the right of instructing. In eigh teen huudrcd and forty-seven, while he was in the Senate, the Legislature of Michigan instructed Gen. Cass to vote foi the Wilmot I'rovuio, ft measure thai had not his approval. In announcing the reception of these instructions, ho t occasion to acknowledge tiik right of l,ho people to instruct thoir representatives, and assumed ihat the only alternative li lt for the representative was, either Vi nljry or to retiffn. This we take to be the true theory. Indeed our Senator himself was one of the most bold in assuming this right to instruct by (.tessing the passage of the already rcfe-ed to. And, if memory serves right, iiyif Ueiwurds voting for a resnltyiiun calling on Senator C/>wan~ to t<enhjn Ucau-e liu 'uil eU (o act iu obedience t i en.sh ol his conililuentt. It is nut pi isant for me to thus examine this subject. Our Senator has always treated uie with kindness. 1 have a greSt respect for hiiu ; but I have a greater g'.iil for free goveruuient. What freedom, —what democracy is there in a government, if the voice, the judgment of ten thousand qualified voters, can he disregarded and that of one vote set up in thoir place? While the very a r scenic I with corruption, we believe our Sen atoi's hand* are cle m,yet we must insist that lie entirely failed to realize his duly In' no vote, since he reached the Senate, did tho people feel such an interest, in non'e have they been so disappointed, au' 1 their sentiments, and riyhti too compromised. Again, what evidence have we of the superior radicalism of Grow ? lie left public life before the Republican party assumed its present radical principles, and, so far a° we kkow liaA been, Aince then, engaged id founding the famous city of lleno, in opening up thorough fares to atfd'fiom it, and in speculating in oil property. While I intend noth ing derogatory of Hon. (1. A. Grow as a fair uian, I mast say that it is surpris ing to find the representatives ot our dis« tri'ct, (with one honorable exception,) casting their votes for him. The expla nation is only found, in the fact, public ly stated by Cameron's friends, that the Grow men' were', in general, Cameron mep in disguise, that, if necessary, they could have been used directly for Camer on. In conversation with one of our Mercer county members, he assured me that the three fourth/ of their people were for Curtin, and expressed great surprise that their Senator (Brown) should votp for Cameron—thought he would have trouble to get the people to understand it. But strange to s»y, he seemed to be quite oblivious to the fact that he was of a less justifiable act" (to voting for Grow—whose friends had' neve/ 1 bceq heard of in this diitritt .

Jjeoplp ruined around him and put ljiin through, lie w s out spoken in his adherence to the Governor, and invited him out to their convention to assist in rallying the people. On his arrival in llarrisburg he was still an un compromising Curtiu man. Soon after Ir's arrival lie reported an attempt at cor. ruption. Ue subsequently informed a leading Curtin man—• member of the Legislature, that lie had been offered 000 40 vote for Gov. Cut I in, and would not desert him. Sot n after this he assured an Kx-Speaker of the House, a citizen of a western coun ty, that he had been offered 85 000 and a life situation on the Northern Central rjad, (Cameron's) for his father ! Hut. as before, he was still an out-spoken Cur tin man. A change, however, soon came over the spirit of his dream. lie be came quite reticent, and finally went into caucus and i-otcd for Cameron !

Smith had procured a fine mimical hind bell, upon which ho performed equal to that of s Swiss bell ringer.' ' Having rang the bell round the liou.se, he took his position in the midst of the large sitting room, and after another per formance, announced' that he was going to offer three of their representatives for sale!

These tiro great specifics of tlio Doctor arc fast superseding all the stereotyped" nostrums of the day. Kxtraordinary cures by Maggicl's Pills and Salve have opened the eyes of the public to'the inefficiency of the (so called) remedies of others, upon which neople have i.i long blindly depended. Maggicl's Pills are not of tht ' c}ass that swallowed by the da;en, am! 112 of which every box fall taken creates an absolute necessity for another. One ct ■ two of Maggicl's Pills suffices to place the L bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach 1 rceates an appetite, and reader the spirits 112 light and buoyant ! There is no griping ' and no reaction in the form of eonstips- tion. If the liver u> affected, its f unc tions ire restored; snd if the nervous system i« feeble, it is invigorated.
