There was a display OF disgracefI lobbying
IN the House yesterday In the ifterest Of Gam
den and Amboy. Repeated Efforts were msds
to Put the Airline Railroad bill on its final
passage, but the lobbyists invaded the door Of
the House. and, by enticing Representatives to
the cloak ard committee rooms, left the body,
in two or three instances, without q quorum.
Finally, when a vote could be prevented by no
ton on the ground that the bill had not been
engrossed, and il was laid over. There h one
encouraging fact in all this. The bold and
lately boastful lobby is not yes ready; IL 10 evil
feat the bill have not been secured, and the bin
NAV pass il at once forced to vots.-Nev York
Tribune.
The lobby have done smarter thing than to
attempt to defeat the bill in the House-an inn
practicable attempt, as they well know. Thew
have tackled on an amendment to it by which il
is liable to repeal or alteration ut any time.

Very much afraid is the Chronicle that
"things" are going untowardly touching Con-
gressional action favorable for the District
(when did they ever go any other way?) and
adds. that all would have been different chad a
few wise and sagaciOus heads been left alone to
engineer our affairs in Congress-" Certainly
by all Aeans- Let the Solons stand forth. Pro-
duee the heads. Set them to wagging. Let
them engineer. Let them engineer quietly, or
let them engineer explosively; but by all means
let them engineer. And when they have engi-
neered a few years let the Chronicle report pro-
gress-
These are the men we are looking for-wise
men and engineers who can manage Congress,
and induce that body to give something more
than seven and q half hours per year to the Dis
triet with its population of 10000 people. We
have had Mayor Bowen and Corporation At
torney Cook on the alert there, and their heads
are supposed to be level; and the Citizens Com
mittee, believed to contain some average heads,
have been pegging away. Then there are plenty
OF independent skirmishers on hand there daily
Councilman 10. Williams, DIR. BOYD and the
rest OF them. But they are all no good Their
heads are not up to the mark. Now let the
Chronicle produce its reserve Of wise and saga
eious heads. II there are too many let them be
scaled down. Let Prof. Fowler feel of them
and select the best Then let the elect sail in
with full head Of steam, wisdom and sagacty
on, and astonish C,-ngress and the District Com
mittees.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad comes ont
ahead again in its contest with the State gov
eminent Of Maryland about paying over the
capitatiOn tax. The House bill authorizing
Governor Bowie TO issue a writ of scire facfas to
yacate the charter of the company for its mis-
uses of its franchises-in other words its refusa
to pay over the capitation tax-has been defeat
ed in the Senate by decisive vote. This virtu-
ally ends the question, as it Is not doubted that
II carried to the courts they would decide the
tax unconstitutional and illegal. The B altimore
american, commenting upon the case, says per-
tinently:
!" In the mean time, the company continues to
pay the prontable game Of Heads 1 win, tails
you lose IL still exacts from every passenger
between Washington and Baltimore the capita
ton tax of twenty five cents, and pleads to the
state that the tax Is VIGOROUSLY illegal, has been
decided to be so in the Nevada case and that
therefore II cannot for a moment consider the
propriety OF paving il over to the State. Ii A
and u conspire to illegally extort money from G.
ana "A afterwards refuses to paw his share of
the spoil, there Immediately occurs to the mind
the Old saying as to what Is likely to hapnen
wnen rogues fall out But in tins case the hon
est men still continue to suffer. A has got Ali
the wires IN his own hand, is strong eno1gb IN
pluck unaided, and therefore cooily tells his
late confederate that he has no remedy: that the
whoie TAX Is illegal, and that suit will lie for
Its claim Tor money which has been illegally ex-
acted The question Is, How long Is this 70 OK,
on! Is there no power OF public opinion that
can be brought to bear on the company that will
force IL to discontinue a tax which II has ac
knowledged to be illegal?''

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
OF OHIO. ...-.--
Platform Of prlHelbis...

The Democracy Of Ohio, coming to-
gether in The spirit Of devotion to the
doctrine and faith Of . free representa-
tive government, and relying for success
upon discussion and The intelligence of
the people, deem the present convention
a fitting occasion 10 re-assert the follow
ing time-lionercd principles Of the Dem
ocratic party:
That the Federal Government is one
Of limited powers, derived solely from
tho Constitution; that the grants of
power made therein ought to be strictly
construed By all the dependents and
agents of the government, and that it is
inexpedient and dangerous to exercise
doubtful powers; tl.s tho Constitution
Of the United States is founded on the
fundamental principle Of entire and abso-
luto equality Of oil the States Of the
Union, and it is not competent Tor Con-
gross to impose upon them any conditions
or restrictions, in respect to tho internal
concern, which tho Federal Constitution
has not impo,ed; tha. tie liberal princi-
pies embodied BY Jefferson. in .ho Decla-
ration Of Independence, aud sanctioned
by the Constitution, Which makes ours
the land Of liberty and an asylum Of the
oppressed Of every nation, have ever been
the cardinal principles Of the Democratic
faith, and every attempt to abridgc the
privileges of becoming citizens and the
owners of soil among US, ought to be re-
sisted with Tie same spirit which swept
away tho alien and scdition laws from our
statute books, and il, order that wc may
moro distinctly declare our views of the
measures and policy Of the administra-
ton.
Resolrea, That we denouuco tho pres.
cnt tariff, as scll as the substitute lately
introduced in the Houso Of Representa-
tiyes from The committee on Ways and
Means, as a gigantic robbery of the
labor and industry Of the country; that
they are solely designed 10 advance the
interests Of q few thousand monopolicsi
and .l,ut they should 1T longer bo sub
mitted to, aud that no candidate for
Congress, nor for any other Office, is
worthy cf support who ID not in favor
Of a low revenue tariff, which closely
approximatcs to free trade; that in the
arrangement Of any rcvenue tariff oil
necessities Of life should be absolutely
free Of duty.

system Of The United States is unendut'
able in it's oppressive exactions; that II
should be Immediately remodeled tha

Ilovo TO rove the sylvan shadee,
When lovely Sol is shining bright;
To tread upon the dcwy blades
That glitter in the morning light.
love to view the purling strraHis
That sparkle in the bcaming sun;
What silver brightness from them teens
y AS through the wales they gently run.
l love TO view tho ftaihcred throng,
On airy wings from tree to tree;
I lsvo to kcnr their blilhesome song,
- s. full Of joyous, happy 'glce.
love to see the lambs at play,
Whilst sporting on the pleasant green;
They look so mild, SO brisk and gay,
With watchhll eyes SO sharp and keOn.
love 10 view tho busy bees,
That firt from flower to flower;
Through pleasant lawns and shady trees
They lose not one sweet golden hour.
Hove to view tho grand old weeds,
Where lofty trees aud bushes grew;
When they pat on their greenish buds,
Or blossoms fair and white as snow.
1lovo to view tho fields and mead.,
When equipp'd in fair grcenish dyes;
As lovely Flora DER them trcads,
With flowers fair for sagsrieyes.
