Baltimore's opportunity..The south-
ernTrade.

The magnificent charities dispensed to tho
destitute and suffering people OF the South by
those of Baltimore, have caused all eyes IN
this section TO turn towards her in gratitude
and admiration. Their generosity says the
Nashville Union and American, may he just

from pure and unsffecled benevolehce.
These evidences If kindly sympathy have not
only made us acquainted with Baltimore, but
attached us as grateful friends. This attach
ment may be strengthened, and eulavated
into still more itimate and durable con-
mercisl and sUcial relation than has hereto.

For the trade of the South, Baltimore is
most admirably situated. Her direct Euro.

and it would beunjust to asser; alack OF busi-

II would be well, in view Of these facts, for
Baltimore to considerh her Present and future

are correctly informed, defaulting

sought refuge in Canada from the officers

Ohio that GIBSON was more to blame for
BRESLIS'S defalcatiOn than was BREs-
LIN himself. and the deficit that after
wards came to light during GiBSoN's
own administration of the affairs of the

A Decision Against Running Cars on
sunday.

Justice Strong, of Philadelphia, in a
case elaborately argued before him, has
decided that street railways have no
right to run their cars on Sunday. He
holds that the running of cars on that
day is in opposition to the common law,
of which Christianity is q part, and
Christianity is not Christianity without
the observance of the Sabbath. 1t Is In
opposition TO the statute law OF Penn
syiyania, which prohibits work that Is
not necessary. Convenient the cars
NAV be to the church-goer, the physi-
clan. the visitor, the seeker of health
and recreation, but not necessary to the
company. If the running of the cars Is
not necessity 10 the company, they
cannot shelter themselves under the
plea of necessity for others. The case
came up on application for injunction
by certain pew-holders and property
holders, on the line of the Union Pas
senger Railway, and the injunction was
granted. The Judge averred that the
object of Sabbath laws was TO secure
the peaceful observance of the day. A
house-owner, or pew-owner, Is entitled
TO freedom from disturbance of his rest
or his worship on that day, and the tes-
timonv was abundant that both were
interfered with, which fact was not af-
fected by the averments of other atlantis
that they were not disturbed. The
court therefore declared, Il entertain
no doubt that the action OF the defend
ants is not only contrary 10 law, but
that it is a substantial and continued
invasion of the rights of property be-
longing to the complainants, which,
unless arrested, must render such rights
comparatiyely yalueless."

Total Radical loss. ........

Here is a loss to the radicals upon
their majority in only four of the thirty
six States of the Union of upwards of
&C, 900. The tide is now setting in the
same direction that ii took in 1862.
1t will be remembered that in 1861 rad
icalism was quite as rampant--more
rampant, indeed, in the State of New
York-than it is now. Dickinson, the
head of the radical ticket, had the enOr-
nous majority of 1U7,2iS. Ohio gave
Tod, the head of the radical ticket, So
203 majority. Iowa gave KirkwOOd, the
head of the radical ticket, l6,6OS. In
diana held no general election that year,
but her local elections were all the same
way. Twelve months later DickinsOn's
great majority was wiped out and Sey-
mOur was chosen Governor by lO,OOO
majority. Pennsylvania was carried by
the Democracy with a majority of 3,524.
Ohio ditto by 5,577. And Indiana ditto
by 9,5i3. So public sentiment sways
gradually to and fro between the par
ties of the day. 1t is now on the turn
from radicalism. 1t has reached the
acme of it's swing to that side, and at
the very moment that the extreme men
there feel exhilarated by the pleasing
sensations of their elevation they are
about to come down with their moment
um of 1872. History repeats itself

Radical Meeting at West Liberty.
Mr. Bingham "says his Piceen-The
"Tnlented and Fearless Intelli-
geneer Man Uneasy.

There was grand rally for the Torch
and Turpentine party at West Liberty
last Saturday, under the direction and
superintendent of the Inteligencer,
and there was a great deal of bogus en-
thusiasm displayed. About 2 o'clock
the grand procession, that was to out
rival the display made by Frederick
Douglas, A. w. Campbell and Others, in
the streets of Philadelphia, entered
town, preceded by a band of music, etc.
But alas for the expectations of its
leaders, it could not compare with the
Philadelphia procession, simply because
there was no Fred. Douglass TO lead the
way, no Barnum to exhibit, or General
Butler to bring up the rear. In expec-
tation of General Beast Buffers coming,
the ladies of West Liberty were busily
engage4 the greater portion of the day
In locking ur their spoons and other
valuables, to Which, he is said to be ex-
tremely partial but tho hero Of Fort
Fisher cometh not, and consequently
the ladies were very much relieved.
The meeting was organized by ap-
pointing a chairman and secretary, and
then up rose the gOdlike Archie, and in
a few brief words, introduced John III.
Bingham to the tumultuous assem-
blage.
Mr.. Bingham spoke at some length,
advocating the cause of radicalism
chaTmingly. 1t was particularly no.
haf hn 81 IL
ed the negro suffrage question through
out his discourse, although pretending
to speak plainly for the people.
Mr.. Bingham, speaking with refer
ence to the action of the l4th of Au-
gust Convention, criticized it severely,
while he was significantly silent upon
the merits of the Black and Tan Con- |
vention that held forth some time after
wards, and was presided over by Fred |
erick Douglass, and attended by Bore !
man, Campbell & Co., who participated |,
in its proceedings.
Mr.. Bingham took his seat, and calls
were made for A. w. Campbell, the tai |
ented and fearless editor of the Intelli /,
gencer, who blandly responded, and
urged the people TO vote the radical
ticket on the fourth Thursday of this /.
month. He seemed very anxious and
uneasy about the welfare of Ohio |
county, and startled his hearers by in
forming them that their enemies were
busily at work. Not knowing they had
enemies, / have no doubt they were
much alarmed.
At the conclusion, three cheers were /
given for John A. Bingham, three for I
4. w. Campbell, and the meeting adj !
iOurned.
Why was there not three cheers given |
for Fred. Douglass, the gifted negro
orator. OBSERVER.
