CIRCI:JISTANTIAL. Ertnnscs.---A case has
just come to light: which more fully confirms
us in our prejudices against convictions based
upon circumstantial evidence. In February
two - young men named ; Chas. Jackson
sod John 'McMaster& were tried in the court
of our county, charged with having placed
obstructions on the traok of the Cleveland &
E r i e T. R , near Walnut Creek. The Rail-
Sold Company had offereff a large reward for
the arrest or the t ffenders, and the ratter was
placed in the bands of a de'ectiee. who, after
some time, it upon these parties as the ones•
nf the drenco. ut little evidence was
f o u n d against them. and that wholly circum
utantlil• while on the part of the young teen
it vt.o vorei by rel able witnesses that they
e „ to t
. at. the time of the occurrence in the
. 1 tf the railroad.. They were, hew.
en•r. COOT c' ed. and sentenced to the severe
p u nishment of nine years and nine months in
the ren , tatiary
Th• counsel for •the defendants,
Galbrtith, Esq., Was so firmly inapresSed with
their innocence that he at once determined to
Fpire ro labor in securing their;freedom.'
Acting under - this feeling, awl with, no hope
of reward except that of an approving con
science, he succeeded in procuring evidence of
web a positive nature that no room for doubt
,f the injustice of the conviction of the young
men child he left in the minis of.those who
examined it. On being submitted to.Judpi
Dorrickson, helms so well satisfied with the
innocence of the parties that he wrote a letter
to the Governormsking 'their pardor, which
'was united in by Judges Greer and Cross, big-
Vrt Attorney Lynch, and the members of ,t he
l.tr generally. Governor Curtin lost no time
in ,re7onding to their request, via on the
.daytfter Thanksgiving. Jackson and Mclifas
tem, after serving out mere thin half oftheir
sentence, were released from their prison
walls; to breathe once mewl) the free air of
Heaven Comment to a statement like this
would be superfluous.
Theodore Tilton, editor of the fndepen-
Aent, end a noted Radical leader, delivered the
,j jet lec'ure of the course, to a 'Moderate sized
audience. at Farrar Hall. on Tuesday evening.,
'The substance of his remarks may be obtain
ed f•om any Radical speech which can be
picked np that has been delivered during the
year. He hick fA.,_extrercesE ground. -de
manding suffrage rot': the entire negro race in
America, and declaring that he and his fac
tion would be content with nothing less. We
could not help; feeling surprise at the gentle•
m remarkable intimacy with the Divinity.
He quoted God's authority every minute or
two :—Tho war pis fought under God's man
agement the 4mancipation of the negro was
God's ; the success of the Radical, party
was God's voice: and the Radical demands ere
God's demands. We have been so foolish in
the poet as to believe that the Alr*hty left
es his last authentic declaration in the
New Testament • tut, after hearing this lecg•
tare, we are half convinced that we must have
been in error, and that the days of prophecy
bane returned, with Tilton as one of the
prophets. Seriously, is it not a scandal—
the elibness with which these Radical ped
dlers talk about s the deeds and wishes of the
Supreme Being ? %very one of them, from
the hypocritical Forney to the rascally But
ler—from the vixenish Mies Dickenson to the
whining Tilton—presumes to lay down God's
law with as much assurance as if they
carried letters At authority in their valises.
how en audience of intelligent people can tit
_down and calmly listen to this blasphemous
stuff,--,nay, even :give it theirpplause—is
something that surpasses all conception.
As a literary performance Mr. Tilton's lec
ture was much beyond the ordinary standard.
Tke illustrations were abundant and well se.
lected, the arrangement ingenious, thelan
guage fresh, vigorous and striking, and at
times really eloquent. We were somewhat
disappointed in Mr. Tilton as a speaker.. Tlis
voice- is strong and clear, but painfully mo-
notonous ; his appearance on the platform
nearly as awkward as preeley's ; and be has
-ah ungainly habit of throwing his body into
all kis& of odd and unnatural positions that
greatly mire the effect of his- oratory. The
impression he made upon us mas that of a.
thorough New Efiglender. blessedwith the ad
vantage of a good collegiate training, who hag
imbibed certain crnde ideas of the nature of
our Government, which he believes it to be
his solemn mission to make everybody else
see in the same light that •he pees them.=
Those who accept his theory are petriole,
statesmen and Christians ; those-who do not,
traitors, fools or infidels.
The Case of the Itallron4 Conductors.
The summary discharge 'of all the platten
ger railroad conductors upon the Philadelphia
& Erie apd Penneytennis Central railroads,
has given rise to so much gossip in the com
munity that wo do not wonder public senti
ment, aeks for more satisfactory 'information
on the eubjeat than bats yet been given. The
conductors persist in declaring their • inno
cence, 4hile the railroad officers refuse to
enlighten any outsiderti with the meth de
silted particulars. As. a consequence,- much
•ympailly has been created for the former,
and there are not a few of their friend's yid
are free in expressing the opinion that, they
are the 'victims of an unjust and outrageous
system of 4 oxspionago. The company owes it
o itself thatia thorough public investigation
of the entire matter should bo made at as
coyly a day as possible., sn that the jute-cent
. way clear their skixte of the calumny which'
tete rests upon them, and the guilty secure
hP punishment they deserve.
From a long article in the Philadelphia
buly Newe, -- describing the' mode , in which
the alleged peculation. were discovered, we
learn that the services of the celebratedde-
Tye, Allan 'Pinkerton, of Chicago, were
brought ints requisition for the ptrOsti.—
Pinkerton 4, _the= priccipal of the National
Police Agenby, which - was established by him
over ten years ago ; its objects being the de- ,
(feint of crime and the discevery and putt
1 6naent of the criminal. It is entirely an
itlividucil enterprise, uncontrolled or unsure
r , ;l by any State or other authority,, and
ttng no police powers asleuelf._ Pinkerton
as' been engaged chiefly iti'detecting express
snl railroad robibers and 'thieves. During
the past tra years, he has recoveredfor itie
Adams and American Express Companiet4up
ward of S1,2:30,000, and in every caielte hqe
,tacceeded in certvioting the guilty—always
refusing to comeromise with them. Indeed,'

Will not engage in, any enterprise where the
mere recovery of the stolen property is-the
For six months past he ha. been ab
sentee= Chicago, "working up" the recent
ease of the robbery of the Mame Express
Company of $500,000, and we understand'
that he has recovered the' entire sum, except
abeSt sl 4 ,ooo,besides securing the conviction
of the thieves.
At the breaking out of the rebellion, Pin
kerton discovered the plot which was concoc
ted inlleltimore to asstmeinate President Lin
ole, while he passed through that city to
Wa shington ; and lie alone accompanied the
1
!laicism from Harrisburg . ce Washington,
the only disguise adopted being the hat and
coat of Pinkerton.
Mr. Pinkerton is, now about forty years ef l
age, but he la • yet in the prime of life—robust,
athletic and vigorous. No man in the United
States bas had so many fierce encounters with
horse -thieves, counterfeiters, robbers and
vagabonds of all descriptions. Twice •or
thrice has his aseaesina'ion been attempted=
once on Clark Street, in. Chicago, about mid
night, while on his way home, when a bullet
aimed at his back entered his arm, The
great point of contrast between Allan Pinker
ton and Vidocq and other celebrated detec
tives has been the fact that he has maintained
throughout his career an repu
tation for personal integrity. Ilia last en
gagement takes him to Utah, under Rietruo
tions from the government to Beek out and
arrest the murderers of Dr. Robinson of Salt
Lake City.'
To such a force as this was entrusted the
duty of discovering the frauds, their nature.
extent and guilty rartles. It is understood
that for months Pinkerton's detectives 'have'
been engaged in the labor. Day after day,
night after night, the conductors en the.
Pennsylvania Central and its branches, pnr='
ticulnaly the Philadelphia & Erie road, have
been closely watched' and their every mere
ment noted Their haunts have been discov
ered, their habits and expenditures reported,
and other means taken to tlx upon the right
parties in the crime. All the expedients re.e_
sorted to it would not be proper to give to
the public. Snifice it to say that every train
carried one or more of the detectives, male or
female. until at last everything was reduced,
in' police parlance, to a "very S. , e
Every fare paid, and the amount; ,the
station, the distance traveled, were all neon =
rattly marked and prepared with a minute
ness impossible to overcome :or refute by the
parties engaged. in the fraud.
Upon the reports of Mr. Pinkerton's agents
the company acted. The majority of the ocn
ductors en the Pennsylvania Central have been
relieved from duty pending the investigation
while every conductor on the Philadelphia
& Erie road, now under the control of, the
Pennsylvania railroad tempany„
_has been
placed in the same position. It is said to be
the company's' design to have all the offenders
severely punished:
Every conductor, before entering upon the
discharge of his duties, is required to give a
bond in three thonsand dollars, conditioned
for the faithful discharge of the trust imposed
upon him. This will prove some protection
to the company, as in every case the bond
will be sued out in order to make good, as far
as possible, the peculations of the parties.
It must not be understood that every con
ductor on the road was found to be dishonest.
There has been, it is true, a thorough sepaia-
Lion of the wheat from the tares. The result
is that those who have established their bon
esty, will be promoted to positions of greater
trust and larger salaries. in view of the
wholesale suspensions, the company has si
lect4d from among its employees the me: t re
linble, to take the place of those who mast
now submit to an investigation, Conductors
on the freight trains-good men and true—
have been put in charge of passenger trrilne,
and in this way the corporation has endeav
ored to reward those who have been faithful
in the discharge of their duties.
UNION AND TITEBVILLE
A. Galbraith, Esq., President of this road,
communicates to the Dispatch , the 'following
statement relative to its affair., from which it
will be seen that our article upon the subject
last week, was entirely °cruet: -
"The length.of the line required to be built
to connect with the Oil ;Creek railroad at
Centreville. in only ftuiteen and a-half
miles. Of this nearly''oue-half is already
graded
"ro complete the entire distance from
Union to Centreville, including track-laying,
and to pay the -arrears duo the contractors,
wilt rrquire - $ 70,000, of which amount about
$20,000 may be relied upon frOda the sub
scriptions already made at, Union sad at other
points along the-route, leaving only $50,000
to be provided for to insure the Completion of
, the work.
"The iron, including rails, spikes, chrirs
and switches, will cost about $175,000, and
this. by arrangement made with the Pen asyl-
Tanis Railroad Company, is to be furni4hed
by that corporation, and paid for in the:mort
gage bonds of the Union and Titasyille rail—
road.
"No expenditures will be required for cars
or locomotives.
"This line will, when built, not only save in
actual distance fifteen miles, bat will inviddi
tioe.save twice as much more in the equated
distance, by avoiding the heavy grades and
ebarp carnation of the presents line between
Corry and Centreville. • .
"Erie possesses the great advantage of geo
graphical priisimity to the oil rrgi,po, but, un-.
fortunately. owing to the •ant of direct and
easy railroad communication, bas never been
able to get more than a small portion of Rabbet
trade. Cleveland, which is more than a hun
dred miles farther away, has, by means of her
direct railroad, the-Atlantic & Great Western,
enjoyed the lion's share of the business.
"From Centreville, taking thatlilace as a
'diverging point, the distance to Iluffalo by
the Cross Cut and P. & E. railroads Is 116
miles; to Cleveland 193 miles; and to. Erie,
by the Union . Bt. Tirtssaille and P. & E. rail
roads. 401 miler.
"These are very eigtiificant'and suggestive
figures, and ought to prompt immediate and
proper action on the part of•the business men
of Erie.
"I have done my very utmost to bring the
project forward in such a manner as to raise
the comparatively small amount required to
complete the road, but as yet have failed to
securolie.co operation which the merits of
the'liorojectlind its groat importance to Erie
ought to gives -insured. I have entire confi
dence. however, that the amount "of money
needed will yet be forthcoming '
