In pwranance vf a resolution of the Re publican State Committee, adopted at a Hireling heki In Harrishurg tliis day, a Re pubHcaa State Convention , to be composed of drlegates frum each Senatorial and Rep resentative district, to the number to which inch district is entitled in the legislature, is hereby called to meet in the city of Har risburg, at 12 o'clock, noon, on WEDSE3 DAT, MARCH 29, 1876, fur the purpose of nominating an Electoral ticket and oi elec ting Senatorial and Representative dele gates to represent the State in the Republi can National Convention, to be held at Cin-cinewti,- Ohio, on the 14th day of June, 1873.- By Order of the Committee, HsT II. Uorr, Chairman. A . XCttmost Noun, Secretary. Compulsory Education. There is a compulsory education bill in the Legislature. At bat that body will do with H remains to be seen. One State after another have wheeled" into line in some shape or other on the ques tion of Compulsory Education, and it is probable that Pennsylvania m fated to the same result. AH the eompol" or education legislation is toed on wrong premises, or basis. It is all based on tbe idea that mental culture is tbe remedy for all tLe wrongs and ctimes among men. Such is not the case. It is tbe culture of the moral or religious qua'ities of men that must prove a remedy for wrongs and crimes. But tbere is no use of preaebing against tbe union of Education and State, which these compulsory education laws are ; tbe world will bare to leatn by sad eiperienee what bitterness tbere is in it, just as it bad to learn tbe bitter ness of tbe union of Cburcb and State. A few bucdred years (which is a short time in tbe course of nations) will de- relope a sjstein more iniquitous tban than the Moral and Religious system that grew out of the teachings of the poor, righteous twelve fishermen who followed the Redeemer of man, after their system became united to tbe State under the power f Rome. Billions ot money, and millions of lives have been sacrificed to get the Cburcb dismember ed from tbe State since then. liow much money and bew many lives it will take to dismember Education from tbe State will be read in tbe light of com ing days, a tuouand years after this. Beecher Challenges the Universe. The Ceecher trouble, instead of grow ing less in tbe circles of its involve uient, is growing rapidly larger. Be tween one and two hundred churches are in council now on questions that have arisen out of the scandal. Other churche are earnest spectators and listeners, and just when tbe case will have an end tbe man livetb not who can tell. But tbe case looks better now for an eventual clearing op tban at any time since it began. Up to within a few days Mr. Beecher bas been on tbe defence. lie was charged and re charged with trnlawfal love intrigues with Mrs. Tihon, and then taken into a New York oourt,under a euit for dam aces for tbe same. Uia enemies then shielded themselves behind tbe techni calities of tbe law, and his friends were compelled to adhere, also, to tbe technicalities of the law ; and thus a great deal of evidence, tbat is floating around loose, and is not of any real consequence further than to keep pub lie mind from settliug tbe case definite ly, was shut out. lie was vindicated by the means Tilton and tbe Free Lovers tried to convict bim through. Still they pursued bim, and now when tbe churches bave assembled to look into a phase of tbo case Mr. Beechei comes forward, Bot as a defendant, but as one taking tbe offensive. lie savs, throw down all tbe technical barriers, admit everything, and judge ye. He challenged tbe universe last Friday be fore tbe Council of Churches, as fol lows : If there is any nan on earth that bas anything to say to my detriment, I am Lere, and now challenge him to say it. I go further tban tbat. If tbere be any ange! of God more prescient and omni scieut, I challenge bim to say augbt. I go beyond that, and in the name of our common Redeemer, and before Hi in who shall judge you and me, I chal lenge tbe truth from God himself. Twice Married to each Other, and Must Marry a Third Time. Janir Parton not long since married bis step daoghter, in the State of Mas sachusetts. After the marriage be learned tbat tbe laws of that Common wealth forbade the union in wedlock of step father and step daughter. De siring to make tbe marriage a legal one, father and daoghter came to New York city and were re-married by Rer. Dr. Tyng, and thus tbey bave been twice carried to each other. Since the re marriage k bas been discovered tbat tLe cburcb to wbicb Dr. Tyng belongs pronoances tbe marriage of people ot tbe relationship of Mr. Parton and bit atop daughter as incest. Tbe pity is tbat the Chare and State do not perfectly harmonize aa to what constitutes the marriage relationship. It should not be this in one State and that in another ; this in tbat eburcb and tbat in another. Tbere are no lawa mora important to society than tbe mar riage Uwa. Tbere are few lawa in tbe country iu wbicb a greater want of har mony exist. Certainly tbere is enlight enment and intelligence sufficient in this country to codify a law on tbe taar- ixi firmr riage relationship tbat will harmonize throughout the length and breadth of tbe land. Mr. Parton sad bis bride must marry a third tint. It ft boped that tbey may find tbe right place in tbeir third effort. Apropos. Aa we go to press this piece of intelligence relative t. Mr. Parton' marriage is telegraphed : " James Parton and bis wife Lave pe titioned' the Massachusetts Legislature for tbe passage of a special act legs-firing their marriage." Bailroad Enterprises, ' Last week Congress voted to extend the time for tbe construction and com pletion of the North Paclfio Railroad. Monday, Montana granted three and a half millions to aid thu construction and similar assistance is expected fiom other States, directly and indireetly affected, tbat will facilitate the attempts of the corporation. At the close of this week tbe Atchison and Saute Fe road, just opened twenty miles in Col oi ado, will be completed to Pueblo. Tbe Texas Pacifio has four hundred and fifty miles completed tbrongb Sher man and Fort Worth and is doiog some, thing between the Gila and San Diego. The South Pacific, now runuing from San Francisco to Calienta, will open to Los Angelos before July, by wbicb time tbe bed will be graded via Cotton and Gorgonio Pass to tbe Colorado. There are several thousand men work ing on tbe Tebapichi Pass alone, and greater numbers are being employed on other divisions. These are all re. aote fields. Each of tbe undertakings U very great and costly. Eacli will open a new and valuable country to settlement and industry, and tbe real begianing and active prosecution of all would be sufficient alone to remove much of tbe retraining business inac tivity everywhere, and postpone if not prevent it return. If tbe facts stfcted do not accomplish all that is desired, they show constant improvement and minister to courage and effort AorM .imertcan. A Greenback Convention. "The Indiana State Independent Greenback Convention met at Indian apolis on tbe 16th inst.,, and adopted resolutions de.naoding tbe immediate and unconditional repeal of tbe specie resumption act, tbe withdrawal of the circulating notes of national and State banks, and the substitution of green back currency. Tbe resolutions also instruct tbe delegates to tbe National Convention to vote for Senator Booth, of California, as a candidate for tbe Presidency. The Convention also nom inated a State ticket, beaded by Hon. Franklin Landers, for Governor." The Lost Cause is Congress.
