The State Convention.

The Democratic State Convention to NOM
Surveyor General, will meet at Harrisburg
on Wednesday, the Gath of this north. The
convention will be an important one, as the
election by which 1t will be followed May
be regarded as the opening of the Presden-
tial campaign in 1872. 1t is therefore Of
the highest importance that the utmost pru-
dence should make its deliberations, and that
nothing should be done without calm and
careful consideration. The indications Of a
Democratic victory next October are plainly
to be seen, if the convention does not throw
away the golden opportunity by hasty and
inconsiderate action. 1t must be above and
beyond the vicious and fatal influence OF all
selfish and corrupt rings. and keep most
steadily in view its plain and paramount
duty Of nominating candidates whose honesty
is conceded and whose competency is not
denied. No mere party hack. intent upon
office mainly for the personal gain he can re-
alize out it, should receive the slightest favor
or countenance at its hands. 1t does not at
all follow that the nominations must be made
from amongst those whose names have al
ready been most prominently mentioned in
connection with the two positions. While
we do not deny that amongst those suggest
e1 there are several gentlemen who are emf
uently qualified, there are also scores Of 9th
ers in the ckgrouud who. believing in the
wholesome, but almost obsolete, maxim, that
1.-The office should seek The man and not the
man the office" are equally as competent,
but whose sense of propriety would not per-
nit them to make any personal efforts in
their own behalf.
With strong candidates, we want sou"d
platform-one that will ignore the dead Is
SUES of the past and embrace the vital, living
questions of the present-that aims at the
removal Of grievances under which the peo-
pie now suffer through the reckless admins
sration of the government. and not at the
accomplishment of visionary and impracti-
cable results in the distant future. With
such candidates and such a declaration Of
principles, the Democratic party vii! not
only deserve but achieve success. Without
them. defeat is foregone conclusion. The
convention has the power in its own hands,
to very great extent, of making the polit-
ical battle field on the second Tuesday Of
October an Austerlitz or Waterloo.

In obedience to the proclamation Of the
President, the Senate Of the United States
convened in extra session on last Wednesday.
On the same day the President cent to the
Senate the treaty which had been concluded
and signed by the members of the Joint
High Commission. for the settlement of all
matters in dispute between this country and
Great Britain. Senator Morton has been
selected by the administration to take charge
Of the treaty and to explain and defend it
before the Senate. When a caucus Of the
Radical members of the Senate removed Mr..
Sumner from the Craftsmanship of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, Simon Cameron.
10 the utter surprise of the whole country,
was elected to take Summers place. The
selection of Morton as the mouth>piece Of
the administration to do the work of the
Chairman of the Committee, is a humi!iating
confession that Cameron is wholly incompe-
tent to discharge the duties of his present
position. This, however, was notorious
when he was appointed. Two statemen of
the mental calibre of Grant and Cameron
to manage cur foreign relations, is sight
as sorry as it is unprecedented in the history
of the government. 1t is not supposed that
the session will extend beyond two weeks.

time afterwards Judge Grier resigned his
seat on the bench on account Of age and i'll
health. Then al act Of Congress was passed
providing for tho appointment of an addi-
tional judge of the court, thereby increasing
the number to nine-thus giving Grant the
power to appoint two new judges. The
mammoth railroad corporations of the coun-
try were bitterly opposed to the decision of
the court, and were determined to have it
reversed Grant sympathized with the rail
road ring, in their love for greenbacks and
hatred for gold and silver. and found the
right men for the emergency in Judge Strong
of this State and Bradley of New Jersey.
both Of whom were appointed, and who were
at the time the attorneys Of large railroad
corporations. The question was re-argued a
short time ago, and according to the well
understood wishes Of Grant when he made
the appointments, the former decision was
oUer1u!ed by majority of the court, consist
ing of Davis, Miller, Strayne, Strong and
Bradley. Chief Justice Chase and Justices
Nelson, Clifford and Field adhered to their
former decision. We will not attempt to
argue the question, but in order to show the
estimate in which this nelo decision is held
by leading Republican papers of the country,
will content ourselves by publishing an arti>
Gle from the New York Tribune and para
graph from the New York Evening Post
The Tribune says:
The Supreme Court yesterday announced
decisions in the Legal-tcnder act and other
cases of less public importance. The formal
announcement of the back action of the court

have stated. proved true, and in few days

SINGULAR.-The Bridgeport Farmer tells
remarkable story in regard to what. not
many years ago, would have been considered
a miracle. 1t says that in the .'o,d Division
street graveyard" at Bridgeport there is a
marble slab marking the grave of Robert
Dinus Backus, who died on the 10th of
February. 1884, aged u years and months.
On the reverse of the stone is stain which
represents a woman grasping q club with
which she is in the act of striking. All
attempts to obl;terate this stain by scra ping
are Intellectual, and ''ws are told'' that this
is tbs fifth stone which has marked the spot,
the preceding ones having been removed on
account of their inveterate tendency to re-
present the same scene. The legend connect
ed with this singular circumstance is that
the child was killed by its mother.

Greenbacks VIctoriO as.

AS a general proposition it may be safely
affirmed, that whatever may be said as re-
CARDS the integrity of the other branches of
the government. the Judiciary at least hashers-
tofo:e been pure and irreproachable. This
is especially true Of our highest legal tribu-
uai, the Supreme Court Of the United States.
Whenever the administration of justice by
its sworn officers ceases to command the re-
spect and confidence OF the people. our lib
ties, both of person and property, are
scarcely worth the effort of preserving. The
sorviity and corruption of the English judg
es were more potent in bringing about the
great revolution of 1858 than tho imbecility
and want of 6rmness of King James himself.
The courts are the last refuge of constitution
al liberty, and when denied protection there,
1t spsedily gives place to political anarchy
aAd unbridled licentiousness.
1t cannot be disguised that very recent
decision OF the Supreme Court has created a
feeling Of widespread discomfort, and has
materially impaired public confidence in it's
purity and intesrity. As is well known,
that Court at it's December Term, 1859, after
a full and exhausting argument, decided
that the act of Congress of 1862 making
tractsd prior TO it's passage, was uhconstitu-
tional. Chief Justice Chase aid Justices Nell
SOD, Grisr, Clifford and Field concurred in
this opinion, while Justices Davis. Miller and
Swayne dissented from it. At that tune the
court consisted of eight members. A short

OE last Saturday the Governor sent q
message to the Legislature informing that
body that the Apportionment bill. having
been in his possession over ten days, bad be-
come law without his signature. What
his objections were to the bill we do not
know, nor is it of the least Importance now
to make even rough guess at them. 1t is
sufficient to know that the vexed question
has been finally disposed of. and that one
legislative dead lock has been removed, to be
succeeded perhaps by another.

An Unjust Charge.

Five or six weeks ago the New York inde-
pendent, in some comments upon a letter from
Georgia in defense of "carpet baggers, made
the following sweeping charge:
1.-THE rascaIs in Georgia who have mismsn-
aged its finances and brought discredt on the
Republican party there are mostly Southern
men, who have joined the dominant party for
the sake Of controlling it, Such a man is Fos-
ter Blodgett. an artillery officer in the rebel
army, who then perjured himself in taking the
testoath and was appointed superintendent OF
q railway owned by the State, which had pre-
viously paid tie State S25 900 per month but
after the first month of his Office, though doing
a larger business than ever, it did not pay a
dollar into the treasury, and at the end OF hf,
teen months he left it $500 900 in debt
We have seen report made by Mr.. BLOB
osrr to the Georgia Legislature, in which he
shows that there was no truth in the charge in
regard to his management of the railroad in
question, aud he proved the fasehood of the
charge of perjury, in taking the test oath, in q
speech before the Senate Of the United States
last winter, by the most satisfactory rebutting
testimony. He is one of the truest and most
consistent Republicans ia Georgia, and we can
see no reason or justice in such assaults as the
above

OF intolerable oppression, and subjected to the
most outrageous regulations. Russia, the most
strictly monarchcal State, where the Emperor
ALEXANDER, by his supreme will, put an end
to serfdom, forms a remarkable exception from
the general rule. All the conditions of the
Empire are however so entirely different from
those of all other countries that there is no
necessity for dwelling on the causes, and the
well known axiom remains none the less true
namely: "That no one can give that which he
has not" Liberty consequently will not come
from monarchism, and nation that does no
know how to achieve its own freedom cannot b,
expected to bestow it on others. Accordingl.
we have no reason to wonder much at thi
latest piece of monarchcal liberalism.
