The capture OF the Berks County Railroad by
tue Philadelphia Il Reading, after 30 much effort
had been made to maintain it az an ally OF the
Wilmington L Heading, has been followed by
two more incidents that are not calculated to
raise the spirits Of the last-named corporation
and it's friends. We refer to the default Of in-
terest on the first mortgage bonds, and the suit
in the Berks County courts under which the
Sheriff of that county advertses the road for sale.
This last proceeding will no doubt be futile, but
it has, OF course, it's effect in depressing the
credit of the corporation, and dscouraging the
men who have faithfully and courageously main
tanned its contest against the enormous power
aud influence Of tile Philadelphia 4 Reading.
Looking calmly over the ground, it may b'
well questioned whether the best policy OF al
the parties concerned il not, now, to effect a IA
yorable lease Of the road between this city ant
Reading to either the Pennsylvania Railroad, o
the philadelphia L Reading That it would b
better for the business interests Of this city +
have the line in the control Of either Of thos
corporations is hardly doubtful

THEANrI-sLAvERY CENTENNIAL

ington celebration to be shortly held-surpasses
in real interest the event to be commemoratcd
in Philadelphia on tho l4th Of this month. That
event is the celebration OF the hundredth ami
yersary Of the establishment OF the American
anti-slavery society," Even well informed per-
sons may be pardoned for ignorance Of the fact
that before the Declaration OF Independence
was signed, and about the time the initial battle
for American Freedom WAS fought, opposition
to slavery had already taken organized FORM
The fact may seem all the stranger to the gem
eral intelligence because it Is known that the
founders OF the government, North ~ well AZ
South, were reconcilcd to Slavery as a social i'll
s.itution, and because it was recognized IN the
constitution OF all the States, even in that OF
Massachusetts. But for all this there WAS
small body Of thinkers and reformers who saw
how evil the thing was in itself and in its ton
denotes. These obscure men and women
were wiser than the Waslingtons and
Jeirersons Of the time, for they
realized that the attempt to found new govern

human bondage was to make dangerous ex-
