PENSSYEVANIA.

Mr.. C. L. Ward, Chairman Of ne Demo-
cratic State Committee, writes to The World
that Pennsylvania gave in October Demo-
cratic majority Of 5l4 on the Home vote. Will
The World inform US whether this is the c. j..
Ward who, for some days after that election,
pcrsistently telegraphed it that Pennsylvania
had been carried for their party by ten or fifteen
thousand majority If he is the same, we can
not deem his present averments trustworthy.
We should be happy to aid Mr.. Ward in
making the Democratic proportion OF the Home
vote cast at either Of the late elections in Penn
sylvana as large as may be; for We glory in
and rejoice to proclaim the truth that the men
who are defending the National cause in the
field are those who have most emphatcally sus-
tanned it at the polls.

TENEMENT HOUsEs-TMEgR REM
EDN.

The tenement-hOuse abuse, while il affects
The entire community is traceable to causes more
specific and more narrow than are many of our
municipal woes. That the streets areAot clean /;
that the tax-budget isnnnually augmented; that
so many ofIce-holders do no other work than to
count their salaries; that shameless theft and
reckless expenditure are the rule and not the
exception--all is owing TO the fact that New
York has so corrupt government; which Tact
passes It's blame to the shoulders OF the people
at large. II is everybody's business, and hence
robody's. With respect to tenement-houses, on
the contrary, although it may be everybody's
f6ult that the OWL goes unremcdied, the real
sinners are comparatively few in number. The
lords OF Virginia held slaves because, although
the system of Slavery was demonstraby ruinous
to the State OF Virginia, il put more money in
their individual pockets than the best system of
paid labor could; the capitalists who own tene-
ments in New.York maintain them because
though damaging to the community, no species
of property pays the owner a better return.
There are not now in New-lork more than
Il, 900 buildings which fall under the class of
tenements, and these are Owned by not more
than half or two thirds that number of men. 1t
is the old story again of greedy capital. In or
der that Messrs. A., b. g. c. may pocket 8

must oil suffer- in olfY pockets, our morals, and
our health and must lose several years from
our lives.
The owner Of tenement, who perhaps lives
in roomy splendor on F.ith.avenue, keeps his
money invested in novels because they are
profitable; he houses human rats because their
united blood.money outweighs tho honest in

The reported advance Of Hood toward Nash
vile is neither certain nor important. If he, or
any part of his force, is at Franklin, twenty
miles from the capital ofTennessee, it is just so
much against his chances OF getting comfortably
back. Hood may have chosen to make adetour,
and approach Nashville from direction so far
west as should make it necessary for Thomas to
fall back in order to meet him. We trust Hood
will come as far north as he likes, and the far
Their he comes the better Thomas will like 1t.
1t is sufficient to know that Sherman, before he
started from Atlanta considered Thomas's
army entirely able to take care of Hood and all
his forces

quarrels have already 80 damaged its prospects
Let it either cease to be public work, or let 1t
be prosecuted withregard to the public interests.
We believe, therefore, that the affairs OF this
road have at last reached a point of compllca-
ton which demands of Congress q rigid inves-
tigation. Let the probe be applied fearieSsly,
and let those vince, whatever their rank or re-
lations, whose nerves it touches. We hear
charges of illegality in the proceedings of the
Company; of jobbing which would do no dis
credit to the genius Of New-York "ring;" OF
breaches Of faith and contracts which defy the
most liberal morality; of corruption in certain
Administrative departments of the Government.
Let all these be made the subject of severe and
honest examination. Let it be seen who OF the
parties in interest or official control are in favor
of respecting contracts, Of protecting the credit
Of the Company, of pushing forward the work
of construction. As a result, let the enterprise
be surrounded by such safeguards as shall eff
fectually protect the public interest; or, let the
offers of the Government be withdrawn and the
speculative managers be left to build it in their
own way and time, but at their own expense
and without being uselessly enriched by the
squandered bounty of the Nation.

According to the telegram printed in these
columns yesterday, the Peace Manifesto lately
sent to this country by the British friends OF
the Shareholders Rebellion, was urged upon the
attention of the Secretary Of State BY Mr.. 10.
seph Parker. This name is enormously given,
either by accident or design, as the bearer OF
the Address is the Rev. Joseph Barker who fig.
ured extensively in this country, O few years
since, as an Abolitionist and an avowed cham
pion Of Infidelity. Mr. Barker first appeared
before the people as Wesleyan Methodist, and
subsequently as Unitarian minister in Eng.
land. He soon lost his standing omong the
Unitarians, who charged him with perverting
to other uses press placed in his hands to aid
him in disseminating Unitarian opinions
About l943 he came to this country and settled
in Salem, Ohio, subsequently identifying him.
self with the Abolition movement and at tho
same time publicly advocating the doctrines Of
the Infdels. His debate with the Rev. DR.. Berg
Of Philadelphia, on the inspiration Of the Bible,
and his lectures in opposition to Christianity in
that and other cities, excited some attention.
At length, however, he lost his standing even
among his infidel friends, who denounced him
as an adventurer, wholly unworthy Of conf.
dence. From Salem he went to Nebraska,
where he soon met VIVA his usual fortune
among the respectable portion of the people;
till finally, disguised with America and with
Republican ideas, he returned to England,
where he made haste to renOunce his infdel
opinions, and once more became q minister
He next appeared as the agent and champion OF
the cause of the Southern Rebels, and Travelled
through Great Britain, defaming the North and
lauding the South. The Southern Independence
Association have selected him as a fit agent to
bear their Peace Manifesto across the water.
