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,-

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
