• WILLIAMSPORT, Nov. 20, 1871.
Mr. Vctii Gelder,-- The SupremeCourt
. .
htt'‘f l o ng . dissolved the prellMiaary in
} unction prohibiting the CatawissaTtail
road from crossing the Philadelphia
and Erie at grade,_ the former road corn
! menced running this morning on the
new extension from Milton to t b 1,0
place. Their depot, here is at the foot
of •Pine street, near - the lirldge crossing
the Ruequehanna. The road is entirely
dipebnifited • with the . •Philadellphia
and Erie and Northern Centred, and
• ends, sO.far as the present is concerned,
nearly a mile beloW the mouth of Ly
comings otelr, running along the bank
of the river in . .front of nearly all the
large lumbering establishments of the
city. The road is located so as to give
it almost the entire monopoly of the
•Anenber carrying . trade. At present,
this
. is soinetiiing 'of an item ; but as
railroads are made for all time, this item
is of - very little importance in the fu
ture. Tharoackas it is now, presents
the singular feature of a great railroad
liOni two great cities, running up thro'
pell_country, and ending in a saw
mill pond,— millions expended to eon.
klect raid mill pond with New YOrk
HMI Philadelphia.
Any one acquainted with the opera-,
tlon of cApltal, can at once see that the
road is not, to stop here. It must and
will have an outlet north and west.—
Where those outlets will he, it may per
haps be difficult, Just now, to guess ;
for, 115 yet, It must be guess work, no
route having been decided on, and no
regular survey having been made of
any route.
The northern outlet, it would seem
by looking at the map, must of neces
sity connect with either the Tloga rail
road or th. 3 Weilshoro and Lawrence
ville road., Either i of these roads would
afford good - outlets into central New
York, and would also become feeders to
the Catawissa. A connection with the
Welisboro and Lawrenceville road
would seem Co be most desirable, as this
would afford it an almost dlrect route to
lake Ontario, with fewer interests to
combine, and the benefits to accrue to
the two roads would seem to be recipro
cal and nearly equal: the road from
Wellsboro to lake Ontario, when com
pleted, if not now completed, being un
der the direct control of the Magee in
terest; and the Catawlesa road afford
ing them a direct route from their coal
mines to New' York and Philadelphia.
The roil te west, It seems-to me, must
he by the way of Pine creek ; at least
from its Junction with the Marsh creek
at " The Meadows." All other routes
seem to be monopolized ; and if they
were not, it is questionable whether
this route is not the best from Williams
port west. The Meadows may be reach
ed by two mutes from here : the ono by
Jersey Shore, up main Pine creek ; the
other by the way of Liberty, Wellsboro
an, Marsh creek.
`.c‘lie fdrmer route has very material
advantages, as well as disadvantages.—
It leads more directly up Into the bitu
minous coal region, and opens up Babb's
creek, Wilsonfereek, Stony Fork,'Ce
der Bun, and "other coal fields, and runs
through a good lumber region, though
the pine is nearly exhausted. But It is
a hard routi3over which to blind a road ;
the stream is rapid, heavy bridging will
be necessary, and in places, especially
between Blackwell's and the Meadows,
aro heavy grades and high perpendia
ler bluffs on both Sides of the creek.—
?
From t e Meadows, this could be con
nected ith the Magee road by an eight
mile I:,r rich.
i'
The latter route, by_ Liberty an d
Wellaboro, is[almost a direct line across
the County, by the headwaters of the
Culver creek, to Wellabgro, and down
Maria' creek to the Meadows. This
rung aortal the great Bios - sburg, and
Wilson etesek bituminous coal trough,
meets the Wellaboro and Lawrenceville
road near the headwaters of the Culver
creek, thence,by the route of said road
to Wellsboro. By this route there will
be little or no heavy bridging, there be
ing no large streams after leaving Ly
coming creek. The only difficulty will
be/the grade; but it is better to lay out
a million In cutting down grades, than
half a million in building bridges that
are liable every year to be swept away.
This route also would run through a
heavy timbered country, across two
coal troughs, the Ralston and Blossburg,
open up a region hitherto distant from,
and without carrying facilities to, mar
ket; and, what is more important to
Weilaboro and its surroundings, make
Wellsboro an important point in the
'
great through route ' rom New York
and Philadelphia to t 4 e
north and west.
The grade on this route has been eon
sidered au objection to its adoption ;
but it seems the grade Is not so objec-:
tionable its has been thought. Recent
explorations show that a good, feasible
grade eau be obtained without any tun
neling, heavy fillings, or deep cuttings.
I speak from authority, in saying that
this route is considered the most feasi
ble to the west and north; Respectful
ly yours. T. E.

of the la x twee, sine years before his

1w h i,e t i l , otto of our most respected
anti istlnential eitiiens. Generous in
every enterprise of improvement, in
terested and aotive in every measure.of
reform, his influence has always tended
to the advancement of the material;

lawyer,' he ,wae . characterized for the
are and resear?h which he gave to the
i t ) re . mt Mt lout ' Ori big ea.4es, 311 d for seru
paints fidelity to court and °Bent. His
opinions as a counsellor were carefully
and deliberately given; and when the
case revuired It, only after careful ex
amination and Weighing of authori
ties ; and, as a consequence, were sel
dom erroneous.
The office of Judge is one of tremen
dous power. In his hands he holds at
once all the multiform interests of the
individual and of society. Courtsehould
be, are intended to be, and can be, an
asylum for the oppressed, a refuge for
the innocent, and the punishers of the
guilty. honestly and'conscientiously
administered, they are so. In theory,
the judiciary is the balance wheel
which adjusts and modifies the two
other great departmenta of government
—the executive and legislative. Presi
ded over by men of probity and spot
less honor, it is so virtually ;—but it
may be made the contrivance to force
the whole machinery of government to
speedy ruin. The stream of justice
may become turbid and stagnant. The
condition of the judiciary in the me
tropolis of a neighboring State affords
the most startling evidence of this truth;
where it is said that " injustice may be
bought with' a price," and where the
adroit rogue, who practices; manipu
lates the pot house gambler, who pre
sides, and whose joint roughs and as
sassins crowd honest suitors from the
very halls of justice, and so desecrate
her fair altar, that the wonder is, that
tire from Heaven does pot destroy them.
But the jintjudgei Js worthy of all
reverence. Profoundly teamed in all
the vast learning of the laiv, he must
know bow to use that . learning; he
must know ,not only the statute law,
but that other and boundielts jurispru
dence,' the common law, which the
wisdom of successive generations has
silently built up. He must know noth
ing of the parties, but everything of
the cause. no shallo everything for
justice; n i Othing for inaself 4 nothing
1 ,
for his friend ; nothin for his , patron ;
—everything for justice. On one hand
may be all power, ikluence, honors;
on the other, a beggar,. with nothing
but his rights—and those he must have,
even to the " trepidation of the bal
ance." The just judge,—that he Is ne
cessary, that his price is above rubies,
that we must have him, If justice, law
and security are n4eded 'among men,—
none will gainsay. He should make
his office illustrious; he should have
the love and trust and affectionate ad
miration of the people; be no respecter
of persons, but hold the balance ofjus
tice With an even hand. Whi titter
words than these ?: 11
"The blessings of him that 'W rea
dy to perish came 'upon me, and I caus
ed the widow's heart to. sing for joy."
" My Judgment Was as a robo and
adorn, i was eyes to the Wind, and feet
was I to the lame."
" I was a father to the poor, and the
cause whieh I knew not, searched
out,"
"And I brake the Jaws of the *itch

The Amount of the Tammany Theft.
A writer - In One of tlie 247ew`tirk ta..
pers, who seems to,have studied his fig- .
ures carefully, makes the e i Memit Which
the Tammany thieves "haVe or
wasted in bribes_of some tiort to protect
their stealing, in 'the last 2A months,"
to• be " not less than fifty-?lnp millions
of dollars." The total sum received by
the city-government during this period
—from taxation, thesale of bonds, 'and
miscellane)us sources—he sets down at
ninety-nine millions of dollars. He
estimates the legitimate current expen
ses of the city to be $15,000,000 per year,
which'in two years would make $30,-
000,000. He then_ adds $5,000,000 per
year ' for permanent public itpprov
ments, giving an aggregrate of $10,000,-
000 in two years. He thus reaches $40,-
000,000 as the total expenditure for two
years, on the supposition that the gov-%
ernment of the city had been honestly
and economically conducted. Deduc
ting this from_the amount received in
the last twenty months, we have a bal
ance of $59,000,000, of which the thieves
have robbed the publics,. with., which
they have enriched themselves, and a
portion of which they have 'used in
carrying elections and bribing the hew.
islature of the State.
These figures, which we give upon
the authority of the writer referred to,
may dit be exactly correct; yet no one
doubts whether this Tammany rascal
ity preJents one of the most monstrous
instances of peculation and swindling
known in the history of the world. Its
bold daring,. its insatiable greediness,
its artful cunning, its corruption of leg
islation and the ballot box, ito persist
ent and determined iniquity, and its
fearful success, leave no doubt as to the
total depravity of these Tammany rob
bers. NoW that they have been tho
roughly defeated at the ballot box, let
them be hunted by the most vigilant
and uncompromising Justice. The peo
ple should not be content with simply
driving them from political power.—
Their ill-gotten millions should be re
stored to the city treasury; and then
the villains themselves should be pun-,
ished to the utmost extremity of the
law. A system of laws that contains
no adequate remedy for such crimes
against thopublie, would be little bet
ter than a mere sham. Thii great up
rising among the people is theirsolemn
and authoritative mandate, directing
the officers of law to bring these rob
bers to justice. If their escape, either
by negligence or legal technicalities,
the fact will be a burning disgrace to
New York.
Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, (D. C.,) Nov. 29, 1871
THE A PPROACHING CONGRESS.
From year ta year the range of Con
gressional legislation has increased in
extent and importance. It is found
that as the country becomes older its
interests are more diversified, , and that
the old policy of allowing everything
to drift with the tide and take care of
itself,.can no longer be maintained.
Am'ong the new measures which will
come before Congress;, and upon which
the press and the people* ought to be
posted pro and con, are :
The organization of post office sav
ings banks, which will enable the peo
ple to have a savings bank that can ne
ver break, at each county seat or other
plaie of commercial importance. The
Government will pay for the use of mo
ney, from five dollars upwards, 8.85 per
cent., or one cent per day per- hundred
dollars, and transfer the deposits by
post office money orders to any locality
.within the United States free of charge.
The abolition of the telegraph mono
poly, and the establishment of aostal
telegraph system, so - thato ' iaeaesgas mm
be sent everywhere at a uniform. rate, ,
not exceeding twenty cents for ten
words,
and one cent for every addition
al word.
The establishment of a bnreau of im
migration, to take charge Of the inter
ests of newly arrived immigrants, who
are now subject to very great and un
necessary hardships, by whioh means
immigration, especially Of the better
sort, is found to be impededand the Im
migrants demoralized. 1
The project of establishing a govern
vment insurance company, which will
insure all the real estate in the country
at a greatly reduced rate of premium;
and not be affected disastrously by such
a connagratipn as that of Chicago, will
also receive attention, as such an one is
now in successful operation in Germs-.
ny. .
Measures for the better rotection o?
the ballot box will be devised, so that
the purcha'se and intimidation of vo
ters, the repeating and cheating going
w i i
on in New York city a 4 in the South,
may be checked, if not prevented.-
The tariff will also be revised, and
taxation diminished ; - d preliminary
legislation looking to and the resump
tion of specie payment, will undoubt
edly be enacted. Se4r Sumner and
other leaders are already moving in the
matter of specie payments.
Measures for the revival of our for
eign commerce and for the reorganize- ,
tieu of the civil service will be up for
disaussion ; and it being aPresidential
year, alrtheAelitioal qne tions of the
day Wiil be thoroughly considered.

gress, now about to convene, will and
more than the usual change for the
better. the widening of:tikelloiith en.
trance to the rotunda and - the= 'removal
of the grand bronze doors from that
corridor to We east front; the remodel
ing of the'old Representative chamber;
the painting inside and out of various
- Portions of the edftiney: the: `curbing
and sodding of the surrounding terrace
and plateau ; all add materially to the
neatness and finish of this grandest of
arohitietnral structuresi.
Professor Gardiner, the electrician,
who for soma years past has been light-
lug the capitol by electricity, has been
busy for a.month past-..with a force of
furbishers, making his splendid appa
,ratukshine. touring the recess, he has
bad calls from different parts of the
country to introduce his patent electri
cal process; which utotlLiatelthis only
been applied to the lighting of the na
tional capitol. The Grand Union rail
road depot, the splendid Jewish club
tense, and the palatial residence of A.
T. Stewart, have already manifested
the enterprise of New York, and the
capitol of California is also fprniatted
with his _electrical apparatus: One of

Democracy, and that in the South means
generally intimidation and violence to
all who dare possess a difference of sen
timent.Wtepugipans do not dare vote
in parts of Pieria, unless they vote the
Democratio.ticket, and hence no oppo

Postmaster General Creifwell has just
announced that a thorough investiga

are entirely without foundation.: •
NON-INSURANOB.
Fifty flre'ineurance companies -felled
in consequence of the conflagration at
Chicago, and a large number of those
which have not failed refuse to pay
their risks. Thus it is manifest that
there is little assurance of safety in the
prevention of loss from fire when con
flagrations occur. Absolute- safety in
all such cases, is the requirement of the
dby. Several broken_ savings banks In
New York an d elsewhere recently,
manifest•a necessity for reform in these
trust companies, by which the poor are
chiefly swindled.

Northern-Pennsylvania, saY: - the Tro •
Gazette, seems destined, ere 1* ng, to be
the scene of various linpor4h railroad
enterprises, which will brill: '"to `light '
its hitherto only partially rev • leatninw
oral wealth. It Is a singular _ fact tba
there is soireety a show of ml eral pro
duct, further:than lime or building
stone, along the great east nd west
line on the Erie road, from Pert 'Jervis
to litdrnellsvllle, while t • enty-five
mile south of the Erie, In P ,tinaylva
ale, on a parallel line alters is har dly ,
any five miles which: is no doh In'
minerals. These willsin tim ,be devel
bped. ft is for the people 1 . become
awake to the importance o a great
through line, rather than any side lines,
which have so far been con , mplated.
The recent Judicial decision at Pitts
burg, in favor of the Catawl railroad,
will give that road an o portunity
which it will soon embrace, to build - a
line up from Williamsport to Cogan
House and thence to connect with the
Wellsboro and Lawrencevil a road at
Antrim mines.
Another new road, already hartered,
and which will probably be p t through
some time, is that from Litti Meadow's
to Canton,,Pa.4Lhorthning t e distance
from the North Central to th = Erie.
The famous Jersey Shore
Creek railroad, seems of la
fallen into the hands of En
tenets, and we hear assuranc
will go throuptA even withou ,
in the shape of six millions d
the treasury of the State.
The Buffalo and Washin
from Buffalo to Emporium, •
will be completed neat year,
be an important north and
and especially valuable • t
which is the great distribu
'for coal on the lakes.
The Bradford road, which
'reached °Beniile, .frota
will before long be extended
Intersect the Philadelphia &
at or near Ridgway, with a
tion south, thus connecting
with the Philadelphia & Erb
The Cowanesque valley railroad is a
short line, which will eventually be
extended south.
But more important th n any of
these already mentioned, is he consol
idation recently effected by the Atlan
tic & Great Western road. It will be

recollected . that some yes ago Sir
Morton Peto and other En Dish. capi
talists had arranged agreat t ;
rough line
west, by this name, bad leased the Cat
:title:3A road for 999 years, and were just
on the eve of success, when they were
defeated -by the machinatiOns of the
Brie ring, and the project ras aban
doned. But the managers o the enter
prise were plucky, and. have eon work
fig steadily for success. They are now
extending their line from Salamanca
to Olean,
thus gaining one more length
toward the east. Last month, too,
both companiee consolidated, and the
Atlantic & Great Western road bids
fair to be one of the great ea 4t and west
lines. It is probable that the lease of
the Catawissa road will be renewed,
and importantlchanges may be looked
for. That the consolidation road will
not lack for capital is evident from
such information as the following ;
A London dispatch says that the new
company formed there with the object
of furnishing rolling stook to the' At
lantic & Great Western railway has
been very Successful in its operations.
The live Millions of dollars capital
were subscribed to the undertaking
