How the Money is Sauandered.

1t will be recollected by most of our readers
what vast sums Of money were constantly
drawn from tine State Treasury to construct
and keep in operation the new Portage Rail-
road, useless affair throughout. Since this
branch of the State Improvements has come
into possession of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, the Portage road has been disman-
tied; the rails have been removed, the cross
ties will soon be taken up, and nothing bat
the graded bed Of the road will remain to tell
where 1t has been. A correspondent of the
Sunday Dispatch says:
1.-The history of this Portage road is a
chronicle OF frauds and impositions upon the
taxpayers of this Commonwealth, which can
never be fully unraveled. 1t was built after
the Pennsylvania Railroad was in full opera
tion ostensbly to compete with the latter,
but really as a grand political job. The
minutes of some of our Legislatures will tell
how much everything was osercharged; how
Canal Commissioners were supposed 10 have
been implicated in the corruption, and how
contractors got immensely rich by obtaining
pay for what they never furnished. 1t was
the great teat at which the politicians Of
Cambria county and Blair sucked until the
treasury was exhausted. Two millions Of
dollars were added to the permanent State
debt by the construction Of this road, now
dsmantled, and likely TO be forever disused-"

An Independant Opinion.

The editor of the Germantown Iele-
graph, an Independent paper. in speaking
ofthe nominees Of our State Convention,
says:-"We think there can be no doubt
of Mr.. Reads election, and we presume
very few observing men in the State
doubt it. We predict it, indeed, with an
absolute certsinty. The comparison be-
tween the candidates predo so sig
nally in his favor, that to suppose diff.
fcrent result, would be disparagement
of the honesty aud Intelligence Of the
keystono people"

of the interior. That the delegates from
the rest of the State did not entertain any
of this small jealousy of the city is evin-
ced by the generous manner In which
thew come forward to sustain a city can
didate against such strong men of their
own as Judge Pearson, Pringle Jones,
Lewis, and Agnew. We are very glad
of this. not alone on account of the actu-
al favor conceded, but also because it
shows that the city and the country are
one aud undivided-that they work har
moniously in the great movements to
whose issue SO many anxious minds are
now directed. This is as it should be,
and as We hope it may be hereafter.
whether the candidcte be taken from the
town or country. Let a conciliatory feel
ing of mutual esteem and confidence be
maintained, and all will move on pros
perously toward the grand result:
The nomination of J. NJ Real places
before the public one of the most compe-
tent persons ever offered as candidate
for the Supreme beDch-a man of unim-
peachable integrity, judicial cast of mind
of long experience, and deeply skilled in
the law. There ought be no doubt about
the election Of such q man, and We trust
there can be none. He deserves, at least
the hearty support of the people among
whom he has lived so long and esrned his
reputation. They should give him their
suffrages irrespective of party ties, aud
thus testify their appreciation for true
worth. Unless this be done. our good
city will have but little credit abroad for
independence or discrimination, and will
with poor grace ask nominations here.

A Plan for the Suppression of Dueling.

The Vicks5urg Wing proposes new

which, if it obtains, will now, hereafter
and forever, put an end to the burning Of

when difficulty occurs between Two gen.

Important to Milliners,

The fall fashions for bonuets, we learn
from the city papers, provide artificial
fruits as a substitute for flowers. The
latter will pass entirely out of use In
stead of roses, johnny jump-ups and daft

will be graccd with clusters of artificial
currants, fox grapes, cherries and other
fruits done up in glass Of the least poss-
ible thickness. A city cotemporary who

says it is unique affair, and resembles
a cabbage leaf trimmed with tom atoes-
