day. The cases were brought bepre
Justice Jones, of Tyrone borough, yho
after hearing, imposed tho slatmry
penalty OF four dollars upon each Of
the defendants. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company removed tho pro-
ceedings 10 Court Of Common Pleas
on ccrtiorar. The case came on for
argument before his Hon Judge Dean
at the late Argument Court, The
Company resisted the payment Of the
penalties on the ground that the run
ming Of tho trains was work Of nc
cessity, and hence within the excep.
ton to the act of 1894, that the road
had become 30 blocked with cars the
proceeding week that it was necessary
to run certain trains on Sunday tt
clear tho track. TIE case was very
ably and elaborately argued by W, II
Young and,..Thad Banks, Esqs., fol
tho Commonwealth, and d. J. Ncif
Esq, for the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. The Court after n ful
hearing sustained the position Of thu
Company, set aside the proceeding
and reversed tho Judgment Of the JUS

CONGREGATIONAL I,,,ocenfs.

"One good sign" cxclaims the ST
Louis Republican is that the Credit
Mobilicr has sadly disturbed the har-
mony Of Congress. Members who
were lately as affectionate as class
mates, says the editor, are now tear
ing each other with beak and talon.
Oakos Ames, who was but yesterday
regarded as the finest fellow in Wash.
ington City, and whom every mem
bcr was ready to defend, has como to
be regarded as a monster seducer OF
vrtuons representatives from the
paths Of innocence. If VIC are to be.

and all that is said Tor them by their

derstand the Credit Mol iier-not
even when voting for laws proposed

character Of the scheme--through Il

clear that one powerful bond, that has
hitherto held the majority together as
unit, has been rudcly broken by this
cruel investigation. There is not the
same feeling of brotherhood existing
now that prevailed when Oakcs Ames
had tho leaders under his thumb. Tho
forced harmony has been destroyed
and there are already pcrceptiblc
signs that tho majority will be divided

''It is truthfuly remarked BY the Scranton Re.
pnJl,eaa that amid the corruptions practiced by
bad men in so many Of the States to securo seats
In the United States Senate, II il source oi
great satisfaction that three Republican United
States Senators, who, above all others, are hated
by the Democrats and Liberals, are returned to
their seats in that body under circumstances that
forbid even tho insnuaton Of corruption. We
refer to Cameron, Conkng and Morton. Thee
tnrco men arc returned by the Legislatures oil
their respective States, without dissenting voice
among the Representatives Of tho Republican
party, and without even contest"
Wo notice the foregoing paragraph
in nearly all our Radical exchanges
aud it reads very nicely. These men
have merely changed their tactics, and
have defrauded q the members ol
their respective Legislatures out Of a
large sum of money. Instead of pur-
chasing members Of the Legislature
as heretofore, these WORTHLESS have
bought off their rivals and competi-
tors. Jim Nyo, Of Nevada, received
$4,000 from the man Jones, who has
just been elected in bis stead, for moi
being candidate. Cameron, Morton
and Conklin copied. That's all. But
tho corruption is still there. 1t is as
impossible for these corrupt men to
change their bad habits, as for the
leopard to change the spots on his
skin. These men obtain their places
just as they receive their clothing, by
purchase. The fact that the bribe ia
paid to rival, instead of membe,
of the Legislature, docs not lessen the
crime.

UfU Said,

Hale, "loyal' Congressman from
Maine, in n recent debate on the dis
turbanccs in Louisiana, got off the
following Democratic speech Demo
cratic, because il is true. 1t is eel
dom that a Radical tells tho truth, but
read what Hale says:
For the last few years the infamy
and disgrace of certain Southern State
governments have been constantly on
the increase. There have been cor.
rupt legislators and corrupt legislation,
there have been double legislatures,
double governors, double representa-
tives in this house, and double Scna
tors year by year in many Statcs.--
There have been bad men in these
States who have bought power by
wholesale bribery, and have enriched
themselves at the expense OF the pco-
Pile by pccuation or open-handed rob
berry. Corruption and anarchy have
occupied and possessed these unfortu-
nate States. felt the force of all this
when it was charged in the canvass
before the late election. In my opin-
ion it is time, and hopo all the Re-
publcans will appreciate this that we
take this matter with strong hand
And tho last men TO object to such
action on the part Of the government,
taken with due regard TO the spirit Of
the constitution, are tho gentlemon on
the other side, who have claimed that
the Republican party is accountable
because it will not interfere but allow
thieves and robbers to pillage the
South. Let us go 10 the root Of the
matter If necessary let us take en-
tire charge there for tho time, put
down the pretensions of usurpers, drive
out thieves from high places to which
they have never been duly elected,
find out if there is any real State gov
crnmcnt with proper authorization,
and il, as | suspect there is none, give
to the people of this desolated and
plundcrcd State an opportunity for a
fair election, and when government
has been set up under such guaran-
tees stand by it with the whole force
Of the general government, civil and
military.

The Bedford Gazette thus aludes to
our esteemed townsman: "For the
second time this distinguished gentle
man has been made the unanimous
choice of the Democrats of the Penn
sylvania Legislature for Senator of the
United States. This is by no means
a vain and empty compliment, for had
the Democracy obtained a majority
in the Legislature their unanimity
in his support would have been mono
the less sincere. In Senator Wallace
the Democracy of Pennsylvania recog-
nize statesman Of tried experience,
of mastery ability, ard of unblemish-
ed reputation. lie possesses at the
same time those rare personal quail
tics that win the confidence and re-
gard of all who are brought in contact
with him. The majorities which have
repeatedly returned him 10 the Senate
attest the strength of his hold on the
esteem Of his neighbors, and the ma
joritics that sustain the Democratic
cause 10 his immediate section Of the
common wealth, in the midst of politi-
cal disaster, serve in some measure TO
show the earncstness and zeal of his
labors for the success of the party"
