Tomorrow the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad Company will take formal
possession Of the Northern Central
Railroad Company from Baltimore TO
York, and will work it as a part oil
their own line. Don Cameron, the
President Of the Northern Central, has
resigned, but will hold on for while
longer by request OF the new owners
The PENNSYLVANIA Central will use this
newly acquired road for grand through
line from Washington to New York,
which will 60 by the Baltimore ana
Potomac to Baltimore, and there pass
by the new tunnel rapidly through that
city; thence by the Northern Central
by way OF York to Columbia, Lancas-
ter and Philadelphia, and thence by the
usual line to New York. The new line
is 4S miles longer than the old one, but
they propose by the aid ofthe Baltimore
tunnel to make the distance in equal
time, and they certainly offer a very
formidable opposition to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, and the Phlladei-

The Harrisburg Patriot, an old and
excellent Democratic journal, says OF
the political situation ofthe country:
at is clear that if the Republican
party is to be speedily overthrow, il
the rings which now control political
affairs at Washington are soon to be
broken up, the Democratic party must
not ionly preserve its organization, but
must declare its principles without
eouivocation, aud with such distinctness
that the people cannot misunderstood
them, but comprehend them without
effort. Self government for the people
OF the States, opposition to every form
of monopoly, and the overthrow OF the
corrupt rings which have made the
Government Of our country a by-word
and a reproach among the nations OF
the earth, will make platform broad
enough to afford standing room for all
who are willing to enlist under the
banner of reform. Republicans who
sincerely desire change in the admin
istralion of the Government will not
halt TO inquire whether that platform is
labelled Democratic, or Liberal. or
whether it has any name at all. They
will initiate thu example Of the Old
Line Wings of 1854 and 60 where prln-
ciple leads, well aware that should they
find themselves in the Democratic camp
they have been but lately in company
much less reputable"

Tn, New York World takes some

TIE New York World takes some
sensible exceptions to the Fourth OF
July. 1t would not abolish the day,
but "its murderous and irrational &C
compartments" 1t admits that:
The question of reform involved is
doubtless a delicate one, for there does
not breathe an American with soul 90
dead that he would not trust his three
year-old on this day with gunpowder
enough to blow his indulgent progeni-
tor. with all his heirs and assigns, out OF
one week into another.
A reform can only be effected by
moral suasion: =,
Let us turn all our satire against the
able-bodied men who drop crackers out
of upper windows on passers- by; let US
reason if we can with the worthy cltl-
Gems who skulk about upon their roofs
all day with rifles and fire blank
charges through the weary hours into
the already blazing sky; and above all
let us develop, if we can, a healthy pub,
lie sentiment averse to the extention OF
the Fourth of July privileges to the
previous three or four days. To be
blistered and burnt on the Fourth is
perhaps a necessary ell. and to have
ones house blown up on that day does
not want for precedent. But when these
things do occur on the Second or
the Third" they are rascally, inhuman
and Illegal.

AT the late nominations OF the Re-
publican party for county officers IN
Philadelphia, $1,000 votes were cast,
according 10 the returns. 1t is we'll
known that not to exceed $4,000 votes
were put in the boxes. Fiity-three
thousand is nearly one half OF the votes
Of the city, and there was little public
interest in the canvass. This only
shows that the Republican ring in the
Quaker City, or the CAMERoN-GRANT
ring, as it is called, has been taught
how to stuff ballot-boxes against the
Democracy, and that it puts its knowl-
edge into effect against it's own political
trieuds. Elections in Philadelphia Tor
some years, both primary AID general,
have been merely tarces.

THE New York Daily Graphic COM
pany has agreed to furnish $4,000 to
Prot. JOHN WISE, the famous eronaut,
to enable him to make the experiment
of crossing the Atlantic Ocean in q bal
loon. WISE is very confident of suc-
cess and argues the case with much
plausibility. His theory is that in the
upper strata OF air there is strong and
steady eastward current. This current
may be reached at a distance OF four or
five miles from the surface and Prot.
WISE thinks it will carry MIN to Eu'
rope in two days. At all events he is
disposed to try, and as the Graphic
company has agreed 10 furnish the
money, the lack of which b as been the
only obstacle in the way OF the expert
ment heretofore, we presume the at
tempt will be made. 1t is announced
that the Professor will take his depart
ure on the Goth OF August.
