TILE ERIE RAILWAY.
PROBABLY no railroad in pe - OMR- V
try haS been so persistently misrePre.
seated as the Erie. Charges of every
kind have teen brought against the
managers. Tbe condition of the road,
lb! accommodations, and facilities . for
travel, have been studh)usly.mis•stated,
nbd interested parties have tilled the
public ear- against ft...'Es;,ery accident
or delay—no matter how uonvoidable—
has been ni,agnitied and distorted, and
the slighteS4 irregularity has been laid
hold of t9Ornisli an - argument against
the road,' For a time these reportab.ad
an effect upon the people, and gained
their end, that of prejudicing the travel
ing public , against the road. But tho
tide has turned,- and it hassat last been
discovered that the charges, so persis-t
-- tently made, were unfounded, and cal
culated to mislead travelers by inducing
them to take other and more circuitous
modes of journeying. The fact is, , that,
the public have found, from their own
experience, that the Erie - Railway, in
the comfort, and convenience—which it
affords to passengers, 'in safety and reli
ability,
.is second to l l io route from the.
metropolis to the westi It has spacious
and luxurious coaches; furnished with
the elegance of a splendid parlor, and
supplied with every convenience that
even the most epicurean traveler can
desire. Its sleeping ears are model. of
taste and beauty; and offer to the weary
traveler a •sleeppg apartment as near
:the, comfort - of a bedroom as railroad
journeyink will :admit. Those who
have traveled i )over the road and satisfied
themselves of its advantages are amazed
at the attacks that have appeared
against it. too far from finding this
route less safe, convenlent, or comforta
ble than - other tines of travel, they
agree that .in many respects the; Erie
Railway is superior to any and all of
them. It lands the westward bound
passenger either at Buffalo, Dunkirk,
Cleveland •or Cincinnati with out
change of cars, over a broad -guage
track more smooth and coenfOrtable
than is afforded ,by any other route.—
I'llese facts have at last become appar
ent.
The slanders (Amu latO bythe oppos
ing interests have lost heir force, and
people now 'prefer to take this line,
being satisfied of its merits as a through.
route to the West. The reaction is
more apparent every day in the increas
ed sale of tickets In all the central Of
fices, and the long passenger trains
every, morning and everting.
— The company have been le.t by the
influx of travel to construct additional
sleeping coaches which aurpus l all

It has become the felt led out viN ion
of the public mind that, the great Na

little grocery shops, or buy a few hales
of cotton, or barrels of sugar, brought
in by the fanners ten and twenty miles
away. In the . 100 miles, there is but
one place where a respectable building,
iccording to northern ideas, can be
seen. The only signs of life and busi
ness we saw alopg the road, were three
or four saw mills, driven by steam—the
only poWer here, be6ause . the ebuntry
is so level there is no chance for darn
ing the streams without flooding the
' whole country. These mills saw no

The rest of, the tree is thrown away.—
The long-timber, plank and boards be

---wet time, the whole country is covered

r window, you seem to be rolling on a
t ack but little emerged from a swamp.
et this water, in many places stand
g the year round, does not stagnate
i 1
or gather any scum on the sur ace. 'We
have driven several days with iorse and
buggy through these open pin plains ;

slight depressions of the creeks, and
„cypress ponds, bogs or swamps, of one
to one hundred acres,'generally scatter

. man from a hilly, mountainous region,
diies not notice it. It is one wide wake
— of sand, beach or sea sand, generally
white on top, and yellow beneath, until
you strike clay, from two to twenty feet
from tht surface ;—but, mind you, nev
er a stone. I look out from the window
where I am writing, and, if I could for
get where I am, I should think the
whole surface of the earth was covered
with a flurry of snow.. Such is the bar
ren appearance of afield after ft cultiva
tion of a few years. The amount of
good pine lumber on au acre of . pine
land, as the land here generally ..tins,
does not exceed three, thousand feet.—
' And the price paid byeenll men, who
build a steam saw mill by the railroad,
is two to four dollars per acre. for the
timber. The laud they care nothing
about, In"ertneu considering it useless
for farmin • n.:
purposes. Thousands upon
thousands of acres of sucha lands, half
or two thirds perhaps swamp, , have
been sold since the war for taxes,and at
Sheriff's sale, for ten cents an acre,—
good title, but no great bargain at that.
But those who new own them are sell
ing the pine tracts, along the line of
streams or railroads, a hundred miles
inland, for one t 0.41.1 ree 'dot lar's per acre,
by isolated tracts of 490 acres each, and,
could they find buyers, would make
money at the rate of five 'hundred per
cent., at that.
' Now as to the value of these lands for

to have the Hardest' kind of work to

trees and cypress acquire such tall pro
portions. But the people own to poor
cultivation, and welcome northern en
ergy and skill. But no skill or energy
can make good farming ; land of this
pine soil. The money is• in the pine
trees, and it is hard-scrabble forever to
those who cultivate the soil. The black
cattle and hogs of Georgia are notori
ous. They are born to adversity ; get
their.own living, especially the cattle,
in the roads. 0, what poor, scrawny,
sickly, shadowy kine and swine. One
feels like weeping over their woes. And,
believe it, they are kept—twenty, fifty,
a hundred—bye each farmer according
to ability, not for the beef, (the largest
and fattestiof theM in the fall, when
self-fatted,] will not weigh over four
hundred),,Por yet for the milk and but
ter—a wehl fed goat will give more
milk,—but for " cow-penning," as it is
called. What's that? The great con
sideration on these' poor lands, is ma
nure. So these cattle are driven up
from thd forests at night, and put in
peps till morning. The pens being
changed during the season, become rich
for the next year's crop. A.nd ' this is
the main 'value of Cattle. You could
see them running at large now through
the pines, gathering a meager living,
their calves with them ; and the only
way they get a little milk for entree, is
to shut up the calf of one of the cows,
and when she comes home let the calf
begin operations ; and when it is well
at work, the servant can approach with
a pail and get a pint, possibly a quartof
milk ; but nota drop, if the calf is not
at work at the same time. Two hun

WEDNESDAY, IPRIL 27, 1870
A convention of•delegates from the
United-States and Canada, is called to
meet at Niaghra., July 4, 1870, to consid
er the question of the annexation - of
Canada to the United States.
The Georgia Bill has been under dis
cussion in the United States Senate,
" so long that the memory of man run
neth not to the contrary," and the end
is not yet.
A bill was passed in the House of
Representatives at Washington on the
18th, proposing to increase the number
of Representatives to 276. At present
there are about 240. •
The House Naval Committee have
agreed upon a bill settling the ciuestion
of rank, so long and bitterly contested
in the - El - I:kite l d States Na' y, between the
Line and Stitt': It proposes to give the
Staff positive rank. This we believe to
be right, and we hope the bill nray,

The House, under the leadership of
Gen. Butler, on the 18th instant, re
duced the tariff on pig iron' from $7 to

Democrats with him against reduction.
The West generally went for it. How

Mr. Washburne, Chairman of the
Select Committee on the Post'al Tele

bill establishing postal telegraph lines
in the United States: Would it not be
as well to let this matter be reguyed

system, if established, must be surmun

the Government will find it will cost
more than the revenue it will produce.

Mr. Armstrong introduced a bill in
the United States House of Representa
tives, on the 12th of April, of which the
(oll9 i wing is a copy :
• SOFA— Bo it enacted, &0., That all process,
in alp ctions and prosecutions ,, and all judicial
proce dings at law or in equity, which shall here
after' rise, and in which the defendant or defen
dants shall reside in any of the tollowing coun
ties of the western district of Pennsylvania, viz :
Wyoming,. Union, Northumberland, Montour,
Colombia, Sullivan, Bradford, Tioga, Lyteming,
Snyder, Center, CloarfieldAllinton, Cameron and
Potter, shall be issued from and returnablei to the
Courts of said district, to be holden at Williams
port; and, together with all suits, prosecutions,
or business heretofore begun, pending and unde
termined, arising from any of the said counties,
shall be heard or tried there only; unless, with
the consent of parties, the Court shall direct the
same to be heard or triad at the Courts to be hol
den at Pittsburg or Erie, in said district.
We see no objection to this bill. It is
a great inconvenionch for suitors to go
so far as our people, in this part of the
district, are compelled to go; and either
a new district should be created, or the
process for these counties should be
made returnable to Williamspord.
I
Not a little is being said in thil press
of the country upon the late decision
of the United States Supreme Court,
invorving the question of the legal ten
der act of Congress, and in which that
Court held that Congress had nb power
to pass such a IaNV, retroactive in its op
eration. As to debts contracted before
the law was passed, it was held uncon
stitutional; and now, according to the
terms of this decision, all debts con
tracted before the 25th day of February,
1862, must bepaid in gold or silver coin.
The Press, (Phila.), speaking of this
subject and the effects of this decision,
says : '
,The obligations that fall due hereafter can be
easily settled according to any rule, provided
that it be a rule known and established, without
affecting the ordinary course or relations of bu
siness; but it is a different matter with that im
mense mass of contracts entered into before the
legal tender bill was passed, and satisfied, or sup
posed to, have boon satisfied, afterward.
These' embrace private contracts, verbal and
written, of every kind; bonds, mortgages, judg
ments, and the contracts of the Government
with individuals. Under this latter class come
the enlistments of about three-fourths of a mill
i-On of mon, who wore mustered in previously to
the spring of 1862, and all of whose muster rolls
contain a specific contract or bargain with tho
Government for three years of military service,
at a fixed rate of monthly Compensation; that
compensation, according to this decision, pays
hi() in gold. It never was paid in gold. Tho
Government will hardly discredit both its con
tract end this decision, to evade this haigain.
The solutions of the thousands •of questions
which will arise on this docision,.all resolve
themselves into what this same Court 'limy do
side to be the nature and meaning of a receipt.
Millions on millions of dollars' worth of good
obligations, according to this decision,•were paid
off during and since the war in currency, and re
ceipts given and taken. On the valuo of these
receipts depends everything now, and it does
seem as if the most neoded test
bo ono that should raise directly the issue ns to
the worth of these receipts.
In the case of mortgages there will not likely
be any trouble where satisfaction has been duly
yytogya yr rycyra, cuy enzzaractiotror a mortgage
Wag in law the surrender of n defensible deed.
The other cases however all turn on the mean
ing of a receipt; and however flippantly news
paper counselors may talk of the matter, it is
hornbook law that a receipt is but prima facie
evidence of what it sets forth, liable to be ex
plained, amended, disproved.
" A receipt," says Bouvier in his admirable
Law Dictionary, "is an acknowledgment in wri
ting that the pithy giving the writing has re
ceived from the person therein named the money
or other thing thorpin specified." Money, of
course, when its matiriul or specific nature is not
noted, is the currant money of the realm or
country, which in our case, after the passage of
the legal tender act, was the common legal ten
de • anOY.
More tely, however, Bouvier proceeds to
define the natur, f a receipt, and his language,
although that of a whole line of cases familiar
to the professional reader, will be found to strip
that paper largely of the solemnity and virtue
which is popularly supposed to belong to it.—
" Although expressed to he in full of all do
!mantis, it is only prima fitcie evidence Of what it i f
purports to be, and upon satisfactory proof being'
made that it was obtained by fraud, or given ei
ther under a mistake of facts or an ignorance of
lam, it may bo inquired into and corrected in a
court of law as well as in equity." This serried
propositiOn, besides the authority of the elemen
tary books, lel' supported and established by a
whole class of decisions in all the courts of the
land, State and National.
A change of law by decision of a
Court, unlike an enactment of a Legis
lature, acts retrospectively of its own
force, and herein consists the great hard
ship of such decisions, involving the
constitutionality of laws long upon the
statute book, under which, in the com
plications of business, multitudes of ca
ses may have arisen. A law is passed
by Congress ; • the people take notice of
its passage at once; they accept it as
aw, not presuming to question its bind
ing force, when, as in this case, it has
received the sanction of scores of law
yers, sworn to maintain the Constitu-
ion, many of *horn are just as able
jurists as' the nine Judges of the Su
preme Court. Years elapse, when a
case comes up,, involving the constitu
tionality of the law, when the Court
declares that it is not law at all, any
more than a mereVaste Of paper! The
Court does not repeal the *law—that
would be of much leSs account—it de
clares that it was void from the begin
ti
nittg ! This,is the case hi a nutshell.—
All the transactions of nearly eight
years, relating to matters arising before
the passage of the law, are questioned ;
and even the Government itself is, as
will be seen from the above extract, in
volved in the general uncertainty.
Now we are not of those who feel
their duty to censure judicial officers,
nor do we urge a revisal of the decision ;
but we have all the time believed, and
still are of opinion, that the decision is
wrong. It would be far better for the
country to have title decisiOrt overruled,
existing as it has but for the space of
two months, than that all the cases of
these eight yearif, involvingl the ques
'tion, should.be settled by the compul
sion of such a rule of action.
If this be, indeed, the true construe
tion of our Constitution, that a Court,
composed of nine Judges, fallible men
,as the legislators themselves, shall be
allowed, at their own discretion, to
overturn the laws which have received
the sanction that makes them such, ac
cording to the terms of the law,
then is it time that the people look to
the matter and apply n remedy. It is a
gross insult and outrage upon the peo
ple themselves, through their Repre
sentatives, tlisifa Court is thus given a
plenary poWer of veto, to declare the
Will of the people, as expressed by the
+forms of law, a mere delusion.
Certainly such laws should be made
binding until declared . w,itholit the limit
of Congressional aut hority. We have
the highest respect for Courts',..and ju
rists ; but we are opposed JO such in
vestment of so supreme power,
_in any
small
small body of men, not at all account
'able to the people, - nird bolding their
offices during life, unless, removed by
impeachment.: : ' _ .
For many reasons, we are glad that
the Supreme; Court has consented to
open this important question• again for
argument.

postage. Re gave notice of his intention to
move it as a substitute for the pending bill abol

privilege a system of stamped envelopes.
The bill provides-that the postage on letters

payable at the officio of delivery ; and such pay-'
meats shall be made only at the ,beginning of a
quarter, and for not lees than a quarter, and it
shall be in postage stamps; which shall be pinged
upon the bill or receipt and canceled by the post
master collecting the same ; and provided the
Postmaster General may, under fixed regulations,,
permit publishers of newspapers to prepay the
postage of each entire issue of the paper at the
office of mailing, at a rate of one cent !for each
three ounces, gross weight, payment Ito i:bei made
by placing stamps upon the bill or rociTrit, and
canceling the same by the postmaster' edifecting
the same • and each parcel or package ri V paid,
shall bo s tamped "prepaid," with the poricark
of the office of mailing; but tho publiehets• of

Tho franking privilege is hereby abolished;
but there shall be furnished in lieu thereof stamps
and stamped envelopes, prepared and bisect by
the Post Office Department, which shall be °lifted
against the several Departments, and used by
those by law entitled to the franking privilege,
only; the same to be designated ,on their face,

provide for the registeredietter, money order,
and other post office business, envelopes with pro.
per printed superscriptions, which shall be used
by the Department for its business.
The - Postmastor General shall not pay for the
entire mail service upon any railroad exceeding
$3OO per mile annually; and if any railroad com
pany shall decline to transport the entire mail
for such compensation upon the express trains,
he is authorised to separate the mail, and forward
the letter mail by the express trains, and the
printed matter+, inoluding public documents and
transient newspapers, by freight or expres9 trains,
paying for them only the lowest rates charged by
the tun for similar freight; and in no case shall
the entire amount for the freight so paid and the
amount paid for carrying the letter mail on such
road exceed $3OO per mile per annum. Postage
on all mail matter shall bo prepaid by stater at
the time of mailing. If not fully prepaid, it
shall be forwarded to its destination, charged
with double the prepaid rates, to be collected on
