Hempfeld Road.

This road is now pressing forward to completion,
rapidly. Judge Conrad, President, and Mr. Elicit,
Engineer, have Just returned from an examination
of The entire line and we hear that every thing is
progressing well. The Injunction case has been
argued at Philadelphia, and will be decided at
Pittsburgh in September. We were much pleased
with the argument Of Hon. G. NJ. Dallas against
the bill. 1t was clear and forcible. We are sor-
ny to perceive that our friend of the Washington
Reporter has felt ga ca' TO look after this injunc-
ton case, and has addressed himself to it in quite
lengthy article, characterized, regret to say,
by very strange, imprudeut and injudicious refec-
tons on the Supreme Court of this State.
He says, after discussing the matter at length,
and specializing as to the probable decision of the
Court ''Anl then again the popularity of the men-
sure is another grave question for their considera-
tion-for be it remembered, that under our odious
elective judiciary system, even the Supreme Judges
are not above counting popular favor by their de-
cisions.''
This is certainly very strange reflection upon
the purity and honor of the Court, and one with
which we are well assured the managers of the
Hempfeld Road have no sympathy whatever
We must always accord to the Reporter the most
unbounded and devoted zeal TO the interests of the
Hempfeld, but must say tbntit has not unfrequent-
ly proven itself ga zeal not according to knowl-
edge" We deeply regretted the appearance of
this article, as it has, as we then feared it would,
been ioyfully appropriated by the enemies of the
work, and, were the Judges such as the Reporter
supposes, it would produce the very result it was
intended TO prevent. We have known more iniu-
ny to flow from an l-guided zeal, than from luke
warmness, and if The Reporter is not more tempe
rate in his zeal, henceforth, the HempfeId yet
have occasion TO desire his enrolment among the
number of its opposers.

How TO DE AoREEABLE.-A good story is told Of
Lorenzo Dow, or FORMULATING preacher of his
coach, on his way TO an appointment, he fell in
with some wild young blades. who were led, from
his eccentric appearance and manner, to imagine
that he was proper subject for their jokes and
railIery. He at once humored their design by af-
fecting Stiffness, and making the most absurd ana
senseiess remarks. Upon arriving at the place
where he was to stop, they ascertained who their
butt was, and began to apologize, observing, in ex-
tenuation of their rudeness, that his own CONVEX
Satiou had misled them. "Oh,' said he, "thatS

the company am in, and when am among fools,

I,iceUSe.

The Washington Reporter has been zealously
engaged for some time in ''breaking out" upon the
doggeries of his Borough, which seem to be selling
liquor in defiance of law and in opposition to the
will OF the sovereigns. We wish the Reporter all
success i'll his efforts to ameliorate the condition of
his fellow citizens, but must say that he has rare
way of arguing his case. After having observed
the workings Of his law, he gives it hs"deliber
ately formed conviction, that great quantity more
of intoxicating drinks now sold eldndestinely,
than were formerly sold under the license system,
that there is more drunkenness now than there
was then-that there is less security of life and
property, and that there are more outbreaks and
drunken brawls." We do think that the Reporter
must be mistaken in attributing so much iniquity
to the practical workings of his law. There must
be screw loose somewhere, and did we entertain
such opinions we should oppose such system as
snalun per Sc. We had no idea that Washington
had depreciated so much of late. Hear the Re-
porter: ave re-iterate our assertion most emphat
ically, that the time we broke out upon the dogge
res OF this Borough, there most deplorable
state of public MORALS" What Il blow at the mo-
rality of old Washington! We had no idea things
were so bad up there, and yet hope the Reporter is

OUT upon the system, doggeries and all, in order
to put stop to the "most deplorable state ofmor-
als'' in his Borough. However, things are looking
ug toere since the "broke out' aforesaid, and we
are glad to see from the Reporter that "here is an
improvement and marked one'' for the better
since he "btoke out" for which he claims and is
entitled doubtless to much credit. We do sin

And come up hereto Nod!
