that here are the fields; and these tho

ANbCr Reform,

The question Of Labor Reform, the
agitation of which began only a few
years ago in this country, has become
ono of surprising magnitude and i'm.
portance, and it now bids fair to give
birth to very powerful political par.
ty, which may eventually 10 tho

AS a separate political organization,
distinct from cithcr of the two great
parties that havo hitherto disturbed
this section of tho globe, its status
was specifically defined by the con.

A Phantom Train,

THE DEVIL ON THE PENNSYLVANIA RAIL.
ROAD-HE RUNS THE PHILADELPHIA
EXPREsS.
The Columbia Courant is response
BILE for the following:
The "debil am out ON big ram.
page along the line Of tho Pennsy Iva
mia railroad. He is seen at various
places along the road, and in differ.
ent shapes. One night last week. after
the Philadelphia express train left
The station, his Santanic Majesty got
on the engine with Solomon Hot
master. !1e looked around for
moment, thea taking tho poker from
tho fireman he opened the fire door
and stirred the fire, at tho samo time
sticking Ii, feet in lie then sat
down stretching out his immense legs,
aud bringing bis tail around he laid
1T between the clovcn hoofs. Some,
times wings could be seen about his
shoulders. He was very particular
about the Gre sometimes he would
put his hena in tho fro box and look
around, then put in his tail, stirring
the fire at rapid rate. BY this
time he had got warmed up, aud so
had the engineer and fireman, who
%ere nearly scared to death. The en-.
gine was making about thirty five
miles M hour when the devil picked
lip tho oil can aud went out and oiled
the locomotive in all its parts. lie
then returned aud requested the ell.
gincer to slack up and lot him off at
Bridge No. S; but Mr.. Hofmastcr
told him he might get of the same
way he grt on. The engine was then
running at fearful rate of speed,
end Mr.. Devil stepped to ono side
and disappeared.
We learn since that phantom
train was seen in the vicinity Of the
Gap. Some nightsago David Wayne,
engineer of ATT, had stopped for some
purpose when II trnia was heard up-
preaching at rapid rate. Knowing
there wns no train due ut that hour,
echcdnles were examined carefully,
but tho stranger coull not be made
out. At length it came laundering
around the curve with an immense
head light and other equipments.
The conductor (lI. BclI,) onginecr,
fireman and brakcsman all saw and
heard tho train coming. The flag
man, John X. Ktwell, Immediately
went back with ii light aud placed
SlSnal caps upon tho rails. The
phantom train came, making tho usu-
nj noise and lighting up the whole
track with its huge, lurd glare, when
IN twinkIing the whole thing disnp-
pearcd. Some say it was old Amos
Clemson's train, the notorious leader
'of the Gap Gang, who died several
years ago, and that ho was aboard
swinging red light fnriously.

caster train, Informs us that when ar-
preaching pepuea bridge some night6
ago he saw the devil on the COW

platform there adopted, embodyiug
Its governing principles, is in many
respects eminontly Conservative, and
appears to meot IN general terms the
ex'gencies of the times. The "Pro.
teotivc tariff" clause however cannot
meet with the sanction, in our opin.
ion, of the mnj,rity of the laboring
classes. Free trade, if adopted, will
certainly benefit tho laboring man
more than any other individual, AID
we arc unable to SEQ how the prinoi-
Ple of ''proteo,i5a" can be engrafted
into the platform of tho l. Dor party,
unless it is controlled by a few selfish
politicians, not in full sympathy with
the true Interests of tho party.
Tho ol5eots Of the I,,bor Reform
movement arc commcudable IN many
particulars, and il oArried out, ma !
work for tho good Of tho e,uY,try.
The cause of reform deserves .apport
from every patriotic citizen, and its
opponents place thrmsclv>s amt their
party in On unfottaNato position be-
fore tho world.
That there is imperative neod of
reform throughout tho eutiro land, is
fact so palpablo that no argument
is necessary to cohv ihco the public
mind Of its truth. We believe Tho
time is rapidly approaching when the
people of this Uuion will bo divided
only into two parties, the one the
friend Of reform, the foe of tyranny
and oppression, and the upholdcr Of
the Constitution the other the cor
rupt organization Of vffice- -holdeSa, the
worst clements in society tho friends
of fraud and CORRUPTION, and the op.
prcssors of the pc"ple. All other par.

The GrOyvnfnS Act OF Ind:emy.


1t is conceded by every honest man
that tho bill recently passed thro' the
lower branch Of tho Legislature, Ia
gali7ing the bond frauds, is tho most
infamous and diAbolical uot of lcgisla.
tion that has yet been inflicted u,on
this State by public thieves and plum
dcrcrs, styling themselves legislators.
1t is openly asserted and believed
that large amount of money was
used by the Financial Board to secure
the passage Of this bill, aud certain
circumstances, that VIC will recall, 90
TO show that improper influence OF
some kind was exerted over majority
of tho members. 1t will be remcm
bcred that early in tho present ses
sion committee, with Bowen as it,
chairman, reported an over. issue
bonds to tho extent of upwards of six
millions of dollars, and recommended
that proceedings be instituted against
tho palties responsible therefor. This
report was concurred lin by nearly a
fwo thirds majority Of tho House.
This is matter of record. Now in
the face Of this bill is introduced
and passed validating and lcgaliziug
this ovcr-issuc, and throwing around
tho Financial Board immunity from
prosecution and punishment If that
Board committed no fraud, why the
necessity for lcgalizing their acts
1t is Il plain admission that bonds
were issued without authority of lazy
and through fraudulent instruti,en-
talities.
Tho perpetrators of those frauds
ought now to be in tho Pcnitcntiary,
and if justice was properly mcted out,
they would be there. Instead, how.
over, wo witness the sight, uuparai-
lclled in modern times, of lawmakers
shielding from just punishment tho
vlolators of tho laws they the mse Ives
enacted.
For cold'blooded villainy, We can
conceive of nothing of public
character that could possibly approx.
mato to this act. Of all our eriev.
anccs, it is the hardest to bear, and in
our woe, We Involuntary cry out,
