To Be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF wILMINaToN
| DELEGATES.
The National Board Of Trade will meet in Chi
cago on next Tuesday the Dist inst, and will
| probably continue throughout the week.
The official programme of the subjects which
have been submitted for consideration includes
twenty-eight propositions, among which are
resolutions urging the establishment in the Ma
tional Government. of Department OF Com
merce or Trade, coordinate with the other De-
pArtments urging the payment of bounty to

empted by various States urging a limit to
State debts an Improvement on the National
banking system reciprocal trade relations with
the spanish American countries asking nation
al assistance in the reconstruction of the Missis-
sippi levees favoring reduction Of and uni
Tormity in, postal rates favoring the establish
ment Of the Postal Telegraph and a uniform
1ystem of weights and measures.
The Philadelphia Board OF Trade has submit-
ted for consideration resolution recommending
the local boards throughout the United States to
aid and encourage the Centennial 1t has also
presented the subject of State Interference in
the affairs of cities, on account of the " claim
that local municipal interests at the mercy of
State Legislatures, composed of men, having no
commensurate interest to warrant their uuqual-

the enactment Of general and uniform manufac-

the matter.

teach ell aspirants for official position
that they must be pure and honest. 1t
is too true, that in times past too much
favor has been shown TO professional as
pirants; but the people have the cure in
their own hands, and they themselves
are TO blame if they do not use it.
No elements can be so combined I'M
der any new party name, which if sue
cessful, but even in the fancy of that
party would tend 10 the same eorrup-
tions. Men are pnessingly in haste TO
become rich, and many, alas, are not
very conscientious how this is done. The
eager elements for office which rise to
the surface, are too often picked up
upon their own solicitations, when plen-
ty of modest, unassuming men could
be found, who would esteem it their first
duty TO serve their constituents faithful
ly.
Therefore we say TO all parties, choose
your best men TO serve you in official
positions. In case they fail to meet
your expectations, punish them with the
stigma of official misconduct and cast
them out TO rot in their own infamy.

Editor Os the Pres.
On Tuesday last, son 0f Adam Acker,
Esq. was arrested on an alleged viola
tion of an ordinance of the incorporated
Village of Somerset-said ordinance re-
quiring that all coal sold or delivered in
the corporation be weighed on the cor
peration Scales We are glad that this
arrest has been made, and that the au-
thority OF the Common council TO make
arbitrary laws regulating trade, is to be
tested
The law promulgated by the Council
through the Press some weeks ago, is
an assumption Of power not warranted,
BY the constitution of the State of Ohio
chases Of B 80 bushels of coal, and is
satisfied TO take B's measurement of the
same, that is their business, and is none
of the business of the Common Council,
or any body else. With just as much
propriety they might legislate on the
weight of articles purchased of them, TO
be re-weighed on the Corporation Scales.
If the purchaser requires coal to be
weighed, it is all right, but if he don't,
we would like to know by what gift of
authority the Council can interfere in
his business and compel him to pay the
10 cent fee for their uncalled for and for
ced protection. This forcing business
is most unmitigated humbug, and 1T is
time our people understand their rights.
They can buy all the coal mined in Per-
~ county; have it dehivered-taking the
weight of the seller, if they please-and
bid defiance to the ordinance Of the the
Council; or, they can guess at the
weight, or have it weighed at their own
N1H and pleasure. II is matter of
contract between two parties, with which,
as we have said before, neither the Coun-
ell nor any one else, has anything to do.
Mr. Acker has erected Scales of super
ior quality on his own farm for the weigh
ing of his own coal. If his customers
are satisfied with the correctness of his
Scales, why should they or Mr.. Acker
have to re-weigh, any more than Mr..
Bowman or his customers should re-
weigh 10 pounds of sugar purchased?
