a General Railroad Law.


The following article from the Pittsburg
Commercial. expresses the almost unani
nous opinion of the people in this section
of the State of Pennsylvania, and hence we
transfer it to our columns entire, with the
hope that our readers will give it a careful
perusal
What Pennsylvania wants is "a general
railroad law. Aside from the ordinary rea-
sons why such law should be enacted, with
as little delay as possible, there are specific
ones quite as urgent. A law that will per-
NIT roads to be built wherever and wheney-
er persons having the means, Will, under
certain restrictions and limitations protect
ing the rights of the State and individuals,
build them, is so manifestly just and reason
able, that reason which will hold water
has not been found to urge against it 1t
is manifestly the interest and purpose of
monopolies intending TO run the State as
well as their roads-both in conjunction
to prevent such a law, but, to our mind,
that is the very best reason in the world
why there should be such a law enacted.
1t is no experiment. In other States
general railroad law has worked well for
years, and been found to be just what was
wanted. An enormous amount of corrupt
legislation has been prevented by it, and
such, unquestionably, would be the effect in
our State. Recent legislation-le legislation
neutrality-suspicious. known TO be Intended
proves this to our shame. As measure
OF public policy, a general railroad law
would be wise, and for this reason it is de
manded. As measure of public-Tore
especially leglslative--moralty, it would be
no less salutary, and on this ground it is
greatly to be desired. There is no good
reason re-, to be urged against such measure.
Why then, does not the Legislature pass
itI a bill was introduced early in tie ses-
us know at least who says so. Let Repre-
sentatives be brought to the mark. Let us
have the record
1t may possibly give the people some
idea what are the influences which control
Legislation 1t is question purely between
the people and the monopolies. Let US
know who are strongest. We have no idea
that the killing of the measure for this ses-
sion would kill it for all time. Qui,e the
contrary 1t would be the starting point
for future action 1t would be the tangi-
BILE joining of the issue that would have to
be tried out. Certain railroads have the
reputation of controlling legislation to suit
themselves. They are understood to be
opposed to the law. Common fame may
be unjust. However this may be, it needs
no extraordinary penetration to discover
that they cannot do wiser thing for them
selves or more beneficial thing for the
State, than to go in for general law. Let
them have the credit If they do not,
there will be very general disposition to
hold them responsible for the defeat, if de-
feated it is

What the President said to Sherman,

The Washington correspondent of the
New Y York Tribune gives the following YER
sion of an interview of an hour between the
President and Senator Sherman
Senator Sherman is reported to have
had an interview of more than an hour s
duration to-day, with the President, and
found him In far more practicable mood
than hitherto. The Senator assured him
there was no justifable cause for an aban-
donment of the principles upon which the
Republican party carried the Presid entail
election. Nor could he afford to cut loose
from the men who Were first and foremost
In securing the success of that party The
conversation is said to have been quite un-
reserved and comprehensive, and in reply
the President insisted that he had no wish
or purpose to invoke any issue or estrange-
ment among his Republican friends and
supporters. He admitted that he owed his
present elevation TO the men of that party,
and that while in some matters he might
differ in opinion with them, he did not pur-
pose to set up his individual opinions
against their combined wisdom or desires.
In regard to the Copperhead fawning and
batteries which had so annoyed his Repub-
lican friends, he said he had been in politi-
cal life too long to be deceived by them.
The interview, as reported, together with
expressions known to have emanated from
one of his frmest adherents in the Cabinet,
inspired more hopeful feeling

True to Their Instincts


The Copperhead leaders, ever ready to
revile and abuse the men who fought the
battles for the Union, have already opened
their batteries of defamation and vile SLAM
der upon the gallant Gesry, as is instanced
by the following extract from the Pittsburg
Post. n
''The candidate nominated by the Conven-
tion, Gen. Geary, is like its proceedings a
huge cheat; ponderous humbug, whose
per puffs, furnished by one of his staff at his
own suggestion. A political charlatan, he is
willing to serve any party, and the expedi-
ency AbohtioHists of our State, have shown
their shameless inconsistency by placing
him in nomination for the first Office in the
gift of our people. Instead of profting by
experience, and steering clear of men of
doubtful politicals landing, they rush after
old castaway Democrats, and confer on them
their highest honors. This proceeding, as
in the nomination of Andrew johnson, is for
the purpose of again cheating the people.
But the masses have their eyes open, and
will not be again deceived.
Such is the language of the leading Cop
perhead paper il western Pennsylvania, and
the cry is being rehashed by those of less
note; among them the ClearfeH Repubt-
can, which designates Gen. Geary ''poLIT-
IoAL RENEGADE AND MILITARY FAILURE. +"
Nothing seems to enrage the leaders of
that party to so great degree, as the ap-
pearance before the people, for station of
public trust, of one of the heroes who have
been most conspicuous in whipping the reb-
els into submission ''to the Constitution
and the Union" 1t is but the natural re-
suit of their course throughout the four
years OF war with treason. During that
ever memorable period they embraced every
opportunity to defame and disparage the
heroic deeds and personal valor of the brave
men who led our gallant armies on to victo-
~. But, the war ended, the patriotic mas
ses of the country had anticipated different
course on their part; but in this they were
mistaken. The leaders still adhere to their
old prejudices against the soldiers, and con-
tinue to denounce them on all occasions
But their attempts to defame the characters
of the heroic defenders of the Union now,
will prove as harmless as did their sympa-
thies with the rebels during the war Their
slanders will only work to their own discom-
future and shame. Gen. Geary record will
bear the closest scrutiny, and his friends
can go to the people on that record with the
full con6dencesof lis triumphant election in

The Two Candidates.

Had the power been conferred on the
most expert man in the State, to arrange
the Gubernatorial canvass so as to present
distinctly the issue of approval or disappro-
val of the cause for which our armies fought
in the war of the Rebellion, he could not
have done it better than the two Conven-
tions, acting for the opposing parties, have
done it. The Democratic Convention met
first and nominated Clymer. The Union
Convention, two days after, nominated Gea-
ry During the war Clymer in every way
but by enlisting in the rebel army, was on
the rebel side. Geary did everything for
the loyal cause that man could do, but die
for it, and that he did not, was no fault of
his own, for many time, at the head of his
column, he courted death

A "Militery Failure ~

From reports filed in the Office of the Sec
retary of War, at Washington city, it APP
pears that during his term of service Gen.
Geary was engaged in over ffty hotly con-
tested battles and important skirmishes, be-
sides many others of lesser note. Among
these engagements may be especially named
the following:
''Boliver Heights" Cedar Mountain, -
''Chancellorsyille' (3 days., Gettysburg
3 days., which resulted in driving the reb-

which was captured by his division ten
hours before any other troops reachedstllat

latter surrendering to Gen. Geary in person
with which he captured $50 prisoners,
! Il pieces of artillery, 3S,50O bales of cot
ton, and ocean steamers besides an i'm
mense amount of ammunition and other
stores.
Such is the record of Gen. Geary, whom
the CleaUfeld Republicans pronounces a
MILITARY FAILURE" Just the hind of
failure" that whipped the rebels, and
brought their Northern allies to grief; and
a similar failure" on the second Tuesday
of October, 1866, will place Gen. lGeary in
the Gubernatorial chair.

] The Penn A DEMOCRACY AND THE PREs-
IDENT.-The Washington correspondent of
the ~ 7 Tribrne, writing under date of
March 10Th, says
1t will be remembered that the late Cop
perhead Convention of Pennsylvania, after
nominating 1!r. Clymer for Governor, pass
ed resolution indorsing the Presidents
policy. A subcommittee was appointed to
come on here and present the resolution in
person. This grateful mission was essayed
few evenings since The committee were
admitted TO an audience with the President,
and were proceeding, after the most approx
ed fashion, to assure him that the Democra-
cy of Pennsylvania had designed no empty
compliment; that they had watched his re-
cent action with no ordinary qualification
and that they should stand by him and his
Administration so long as he so nobly ad-
hered to the sacred Constitution. Before
the peroration was reached, the President
broke in upon them with the suggestion
that the wisest thing they could do was to
go home and change their ticket He be-
lieved that they had made fatal mistake
IN nominating such man, especially at this
particular time, with many other remarks of
a similarly encouraging character The last
seen of the PENNSYLVANIA Committeeman
they were making for the Baltimore depot,

MORE MoNopoSIEs.-Byt the Legislative
proceedings we see that efforts are making
in the Legislature to pass several other
Railroad monopoly bills. The first grants
Unlimited privileges, in constructing branch

second to the Phira and Erie-the latter
being the old bill with the fourth section

a veto in one case already; and, it is to be

Treasury Imbroglio.

WASHINGTON, March l5th.-The letter
of Comptroller Clark, criticising Secretary
McCulloch' S exhibit of the public debt, and
declaring that it fell many millions below the
real amount, creates considerable feeling at
the Treasury and in Congress. Ma Clark
was on the floor of the house to-day visiting
members, and was charged by Mr.. Went
worth with trying to influence the House to
defeat the loan bill, and to thwart Secretary
McCulloch' policy. So great is the interest
felt in this matter that the Ways and Means
Committee to-day went to the Department
and made inquiry. Mr.. Hooper, of the
committee, on his return from the Treasury,
made a statement to the House. He said
that in reference to the statement made by
the Secretary of the Treasury on March lst,
he would say that 1t appeared that there was
In the Treasury at that time $50, ,000, 900 in
coin, and 500, 900, 900 in currency, making
total of Sll5, 100000. Now, the letter of the
Comptroller referred to, states that the
statement OF the Secretary of the Treasury
Is inexcusably erroneous, and states amongst
other items that the Secretary has omitted
to give the amount of the deposits in the
national banks, belonging to the Govern
ment, which amount, the Comptroller says,
is S2S, 100000. Having seen this letter the
Committee of Ways and Means had appoint
Department to investigate the alleged dis
crepancy and to see whether it had any ac-
tual existence. We learned, said Mr..
Hooper, that the Secretary's statement of
the public debt was correct. The amount
of money in the National banks. S2S, ,000,-
000 was included in the S1l5, ZOO, 900 re-
ported to be in the Treasury by the Secreta-
ry on the first of March. This letter of the
Comptroller made it appear that there were
$3.50. 100000 in the Treasury, and he goes
on toshow that some retired notes and 7-3O
bonds ought to have been included in the
Secretary's exhibit. Then the Comptroller
adds $4,000, 900 to that statement as the
difference between gold and currency, should
the Secretary sell the $55, 600, 900 of gold at
the present premium, but as the Secretary
had not sold the gold, the premium should
not be added in, for the $15, 900, 900 of cur
rency were not in the Treasurys The state
ment of the public debt made by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury was, he repeated, en-.
tirely correct. He had included the $2S.-
600, 900 now in the National Banks. and he
had not sold the gold now In the Treasury.
The result of the investigation OF the Sub
Committee of Ways and Means was that
there were sll5,000, 900 in the Treasury.
