THERE is a bin before the State Sen

THERE is bill before the State Sen
ate which proposes to allow Canal and
Turnpike Companies to abandon such
parts of their lines as they deem USE
less to thepublic. Underthis bin, should
it become a law, the Pennsylvania Ca
nal Company might abandon their line
at point east of Huntingdon and
thence westward, which would have
the effect of compelling shippers of
coal from the Broad Top region and
other shippers of freight in this sec
tion, to rely solely on the railroad for
transportation. The increase in charges
on freights which would thus be 0cca-
stoned would be serious incumbrance
to business men in this neighborhoOd,
as we'll as to the coal-shIppers of Broad
Top. 1t is, therefore, very important
that our representatives in the legisIa-
ture be on their guard when this bill
comes up on its passage. If it is to pass
at all, itshould be amended so as to re-
quire the company to keep the canal
open from Huntingdon eastward.

rHr ONLY SALVATION.

For years the little leaders OF the So
called Republican party, have assured
their followers that the charge made
bv the Democrats against them, name
IL. that it was their design to force
black suffrage on the country, Was
false, and in many cases they went so
far as to declare that if their party ever
proved itself capable of doing sc mon
strous thing. they would themselves
be the first to leave it. How can these
men look the people whom they have
so wantonly deceived, in the faee?-
How can they ask any one to believe
their statements in the future? The
Fifteenth Amendment has been foisted
upon the country by the leaders of the
Republican party. Next fall every
African in Pennsylvania will go to the
polls and ask that his ballot shall be
received by the election Officers. In
less than year negroes toiH sit ia the
jury.6or in the Bedford courts. Now,
if the people had been permitted to
vote on this question and had decided
that the right of suffrage and other
privileges consequent upon it, should
be granted to the African, there could
be TO complaint. The voice of the
people is the voice Of God. But the
the Republican leaders have impudent-
ly ignored the popular will, and,
therefore, have impiously defied the
Judgment of Heaven. To their reck-
less disregard of the rights of the peo-
pie and their sacriIegi0us attempt to
equalize races of men whom God has
created unequal, are added the false
promises of their platforms, their
speeches and their press. They are cor
victed of the triple crime of betraying
the people, of seizing into their own
hands the power to regulate Suffrage
and of attempting to correct and over
rule the Almighty In His divine ar
rangement Of the plan of creation.-
The iniquity of such wickedness can
not stand. Certain, swift and terrible
punishment is sure to Overtake it.
The only question which remains to
be decided, is, Shall the judgment of
outraged eaven fall upon the Nation,
or shall it be visited only upon the
heads of the guilty authors of the
crime? Either the Republican leaders
must be overthrown, or the commu-
nifty at large must suffer for this Of
fence against the rights of the
people and the laws of Cod. This
is the only alternative. The only sal
vation of this country from the curse
of a mongrel race, mongrei society and
a mongrel government, is in the early
and complete and final overthrow Of
the present leaders of the so-called
Republican" party. This must, in
some measure, be done by "Republi-
cans" Themselves. Whether, ind sed,
there remains enough righteousness in
that political SOdom, to secure so great
is a matter of the gravest
doubt. But we shall see.

THE economy and wisdom of the
present Pennsylvania legislature are
most happily evinced in the obstinate
refusal TO publish at public charge a re-
cord of proceedings, and in the reten-
tion of horde of pastors aud folders,
vino are clinging to the rim of the
treasury chest. With the non-publica-
ton of proceedings these fellows have
nothing to do but sleep the hours away
until the Speakers hammer shall rap
the hour of final adjournment. Yet it
is graveIy proposed in the House TO
add two hundred dollars to the pay OF
these droues. When the yeas and
nays shall be ordered, the public will
learn, even without published jour
nal of proceedings, the names of the
members who will have the hardihood
to thus shamefully vote away their
money. Let the pastors and folders
be sent home BOW, and let the great
legislative scandal, with which they
are connected, immediately be suppress.

Mr.. Farnsworth, one of the committee

of the Supreme Court was considered,
and speeches were made by Mr.. Trum-

up his bill repeating the charter of the
Medical Society of the District of Co

he proposes TO punish the white physi-

to consult professionally with negro
doctors. Greatly to Summers disgust,
his motion was lost by vote of q to

Mr.. Butler, Of Massachusetts, opened
the di5cussian on the Georgia bill. In
the course of his speech he intimated
that as soon as Georgia was reconstruc-

exhibit to the Tennesseans the power
of Congress to regulate the internal af-

went over until to-day, when it will
be debated, to the exclusion of other
