not go on independently of them. 1t was

The Sale of the Main Line.
pEemIoN OF TIE SUPREME coyRT.

We have received the decision of the
Supreme Court on tie application of Mr..
Mott, for an Injunction to restrain the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company from
purchasing the Main Line of the Public
Works of the State. Chief Justice Lewis,
delivering the unanimous opinion of the
Court, pronounced decision, of which the
following points present the principles or
matters adjudicated:-
1st. That the Legislature had oonstitu.
tional authority to authorize the sale of the
Main Line.
I'd, That the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company may lawfully become q purchaser
at such sale.
Sd. That the Legislature have constitu
tiopal authority to repeal the tonnage tax.
4th. That the Legislature cannot bind
the State by contract from imposing equal
taxes, and that the condition of sale to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in that
respect is void, and an injunction to that
extent is granted. But .a
5th. That in all other respects the sale
may go Oh, and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company may bid and purchase on the
same terms as other corporations CT indi
viduals.

The Democratic Ticket.

Three different parties in this State have
now their respective tickets in the field
Their platform have been announced and
the campaign fairly commenced. The
prospect Of the Democracy was never
brighter. For several reasons We feel safe
in predicting brilliant victory. In the
first place, the ticketwhich has been placed
in nomination is one Of the very best that
could have been selected. Gen. Packer,
our candidate for Governor, is by educa-
ton and experience in public life most ad-
mirably qualified to discharge the duties of
the Executive Of the Commonwealth. His
moral character is unblemished, while his
pleasing address and accomplished gifts of
oratory will render him almost invincible
on the stump. The personal popularity of
General Packer is of itself tower of
strength, and We defy his enemies to point
to any act, either 10 his public or private
life. that can detraot in the slightest de-.
gree from bis claims to general confidence.
Whatever may be the fate of the iniquit.
Gus project for the giving away fthe Main
Line, there will be still necessity for
honesty, energy and intelligence in the
board Of Canal Commissioners. These
requisites VIC are happy to see are well
blended in the character of Nimrod Strick.

of all the efforts to the contrary, the Main
Line will still be retained, and that under
the management Of such men as SCOTT,
