SEVERE ON NAsT.--The last Hdr-

The interests Of the present Adminis-

that represents President Grant as an

The Union as it is, we all know is

serpent which has ever been the clas-

We have Just seen IN our own Gay
and land one Of the most wonderful
and tragical Of all spectacles-a
strong man going about his accus-
toned work, month after month,
year after year, with serene smile
on his lips, no hint in look, manner
or word Of any thing wrong OF even
unusual with him, and yet dogged at
every moment by a sickening dread,
and suffering, as we know from his
cwn confession, "the torments Of
the damned" At the very time
when this man was writing to the
one friend out OF a whole country
full Of almost idolatrous admirers in
whom he could confde, "NotRing
can possibly be so bad as the horror
Of that great darkness in which !
spend much of my time it was a
common remark among the members
of his church, as well as that OF the
vast audience outside, thai Mr..
Beecher was fairly outdoing himself.
His humor, always genial, seemed to
mellow and ripen; his fancy, always
exuberant, to fairly TEEN; his elo-
ouence to take on a more irresistible
splendor and charm. The whole
country stood amazed at the power
of the man, his versatility, his seem
Iingly unlimited capacity to work
and the whole-souled energy and en-
ioyment with which he threw himself
| into it. To the mass Of us, super
fetal observers that we are, he seem
ed one Of the most fortunate and en-
yiable men of this, or indeed, ally
generation.
A wonderful and tragical spectacle
we repeat, that, whether we holt
this man innocent or guilty OF thu
crimes laid at his door Not an un
precedentod spectacle, however, ever
il we suppose him guilty. Upor
this point, as upon 50 many others
George Eliot has something to say Y
us:
We are so made, almost oil Of us
that the false seeming which we hav
| thought Of with painful shrinkinl
when beforehand in our solitude
has urged itself on us as q necessity
will possess our muscles and moy
our bps as il nothing but that wer
easy, when once wa have come unde
the stimulus Of expectant eyes AM
ears. And the strength Of that stim
ulus to Satenarola can hardly b
: measured by the experience OF ordi
nary lives. Perhaps no man eve
had q mighty influence over his fol
lows without having the innate nee
to dominate, and this need usual
becomes the more imperious as th
! complications Of life make Self in
seperable from purpose which !
I not selfish. In this way it came :
! pass that on the day Of tho Trial ,
: Fire, the doubleness which is tn
! pressing temptation in every publ
! career, whether Of priest, orator, 9
statesman, was more strongly define
in Savonarola's consciousness as th
! acting Of part, than at any othe
! period of his life. Hewas strugglin
! not against impending inartyrdon
but against impending ruin. There
Z fore he looked and acted as i, b
7 we're thoroughly confident, when o
the while foreboding was pressin
| with leaden weight on his heart.
= The fact is, that it is at least
7 unphilosophical and unsafe to argt

Y pressed mental suffering to the ia
Of guilt. -SpriaQtieid Republican,

We desire to call the attention of Demo
Gratis and Liberal Republicans to the posi-
ton on the finance question laid down in
1872, at Cincinnati and Baltimore. The
platform adopted unanimously at Cincin-
natl and Baltimore contains the following
planks
SeUenth, The public credit must be sacredly
maintained, and we denounce reputation in every
form and guise.
Eighth. A speedy return 10 specie payments J.
demanded alike by the highest considsraa,o"H Oh
commercial morality and honest
These propositions were not only DEMO
cratic in 1872, but have always been car
dinal principles of the party, and now in
1874, have been reiterated by the Demo
cratic State Central Committee of Illinois
as the basis Of a call for a State onven
ton. If there be those who have imagin
ed themselves Democrats who do not ad
here to these principles, they have mistaken
or forgotten the principles of the party.
We call upon persons who claim to be
Democrats. to cease all efforts to outdl
Republicans in adopting clap trap expedi
ents, to cheat the people and slultify theil
own honest convictions. Now is the time
for honesty 10 platforms, honesty in govern
ment aud honesty in business. State Reg

HANCOCK DEMOCRACY.
The Duty Of the Coming Democratic State Con
vention-The Bolt in Adams County.

v%ention-The Bolt in Adams County.
CARTHAGE, H., Aug. 7.
To the Editor OF the State Register:
The Democracy of old Hancock unqual-
iiedly indorse the action of the Democra,
tic State Central Committee, and will send
a full delegation to the State Convention,
August Goth. The declaration set forth IN
the call for the State Convention is sound
Democratic doctrine in every particular
Old Dick Richardson and Gen" Single
ton, of Quincy, have started an incipient
bolt in our %neighboring county Of Adams.
They will get little sympathy in that coun
ty. The trouble Is this: In 1868 both OF
them got the Pendleton theory, and shin
plaster imitation and alcohol mixed con
tusedly in their several brains, and have
not been right since. Cen Singleton
spent a fearful pile of money in his can
vass for Congress in 1868; he was so pop
ular that he ran behind his ticket In the
district. He has been dead, politically,
ever since, and will only add to the
strength of every movement he favors with
his opposition. "Old Dick" was in the
United States Senate a long time ago and
has been on the shelf nearly thirty years.
He always thrusts himself forward as a
speaker in every canvass, much to the ap,
prehcnsion Of Democrats and the JOY OF
Republicans. These two musty old pills
will engineer the bolt which will fall OF its
" weight. This county don't take stock
i'm the affair. DEMOCRAT.

only Ave minutes, at Philadelphia, after a
RIM of one hundred and five miles, leav-
inc a single stretch of ninety miles
across New Jersey to destination. No
time being lost in stopping, the won
lderful locomotive engines work away with
the regularity of fixed machinery,-taking
their supply from the track tanks as they,

the time is made by uniformity OF prog,
ress more than by an increased rate OF
speed. The train is made up OF Pullman

And here comes in the great charm OF
This daylight ride through Pennsylvania,
for the train leaves Pittsburg at q quarter
before eight in the morning and reaches
Philadelphia at a quarter before seven in
the evening. 1t is no new thing to say
that the scenery on the line of the Penn
sylvania read is beautiful, and, in many
places, grand. Every American who traV,,
els or reads has seen or heard OF 1t, ana
the pencils Of many artists have laborcd
lovingly to portray, for popular gratIlca-
ton, the attractions Of the Allegheny
mountains; the Juniata, Susquehanna,
and Conemaugh rivers, and the WONDER,
full agricultural wales of Lancaster ana
Chester counties, through which this road
runs. Long sweeps of wooded hills; LOT
tv mountains and dark ~ravines pictures
que valleys opening into each other spar
King and placid waters; VIDE, rolling
pastoral landscapes, follow in rapid sue
~cession. A clang Of the bell, sinking away
in the rush of the train, signals town al
ter town and village after village. The
dusky turnpike, the dreamy canal and the
shaded ,by-roads are crossed and passed
in a fash. On, on, on, goes this t~ireless
train, over a clear track, carrying the
traveller by a panorama, the like of which
can be found nowhere else on this cont.
nent, and probably not in the world. Ar
| ter having breakfasted in the Mississippi
| valley and dined at the capital of Penn
sylvania, the passenger finds himself sea
ted at supper in the metropolis OF New
York, where the Atlantic throbs and
swells in its ceaseless activity. :,
A few years ago the man who should
have predicted such a ride would have
been pronounced utterly and hopelessly
insane. Not ever the most ~sanguine en-
thusiast on railroads, when their construc-
ton was commenced, dreamed of over
coming distance at such a rate; and it Is
only because Of the perfection Of machin-
ery and the inventions of science that il
can be done row.. But it is a fact accom-
plished-- a reality Of the day, and al
that is lett for the people is to wonder and
enjoy.

Probably the best specimen of an Amer.
lean highway to be found anywhere is the
the Pennsylvania Railroad, between Pitts
burg and New York. ln solidity of con
struction, superiority Of bridge architec-
ture, and smoothness of track, it is unri-
vailed. Throughout its entire length it is
laid with a double track of steel rails,
weighing s~ixty-seven pounds to the yard.
These rails are fastened on oak ties, i'm
bedded in broken stone ballast, with splice
JOINTS between the ties, and so arranged
that the connection On one side comes OPP
poslte TO the centre of the rail on the 9th
