The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1875-10-13

While the Democratic press in
this State are straining to assume an
apparently aggressive attitude. is it
not little strange that they do not
repel the statements relative to Per-
shing and Piollet? Or do they think
that silence will cause the influence
of the evidence presented to speedily
die? If so they are greatly mistaken.
The conduct of Pers ing and Piollet
during the war, so full of sympathy
with rank treason, has no word of ex-
cuse or palliation. The low and gross
evil Of turning under the influence OF
$500 fees, or S400 bribes, is not inter-
preted as a lofty and nuble form of
consecration to the will of the people.
The hostility to the interests of the
farmers, and particularly nf the we'll
being of laboring men, cannot be pal
lated. The strange part of the affair
is, that the Democratic press do not
attempt to do this. They ignore The
entire question, and hope it may die a
natural death. This should prompt
the people all the more to remember
and punish treason to the country and
themselves.

-Hendrick B. Wright, Chairman
of the Democratic State Commitree,
declares that the character Of Cover
nor Hartranft, for honesty, integrity
and patriotism, "cannot be successful
ly impeached." The public character
of Pershing has been successfully inn
peaehed, in this: that he opposed the
Government and favored the rebels
during the war; that he changed in
one night his attitude toward railroads,
under a fee of $500. as a retainer as
solicitor for a railroad corporation
that he opposed bills in the interest Of
workingmen; that he opposed the
coming of eolored men to this State
whether for temporary or permanent
residence.

Isl. Louis Republican,


EX-Gov. Moves of Ohio, in speech
at Cincinnati last week, was careful to
tell his hearers how valuable President
Grants administration had made United
States six per cent bonds-those bonds
which it sold for forty cents on the dollar,
and is now buying back at ninety-nine
cents on the dollar Said be: Instead of
our bonds selling for ninety cents in the
open market as they did in James
Buchana MS time, they are worth under
Republican rule as you have been told,
10 to-day This statement is true
United States bonds are worth I20to-day,
which is 3 per cent per higher than gold
The fact certainly proves that the Re-
publican party has been successful in the
oppressive measures it adopted to ad-
vance the nation credit; the act which it
passed in 1869 to pay in gold the bonds
that were payable only in currency has
raised the value OF these bonds from SO
IN gold to l03. This is strengthening the
public credit it must be conceded; but
there IS something else to be said of it.
J he difference between the price of the
bonds In 1869 and the price of them in
1873 ls 20 per cent and this is precise
y what the process has cost the people of
The country. Another important fact isrr
that the counterpart of the elevation o.

the national credit is the prostration of
nearly all other credit. United States 6
per cent, bonds are now payable, princi
pal and interest, in gold besides this
they are not taxable quality that adds
at least per cent, to their value. Six
per cent, in gold, with the privilege OF ex,
emption from taxation, is therefore equal
to about 10 per cent, in currency-andi
this is the rate of interest that United
States Bonds actually draw-an enormous
rate of interest at time when money is
borrowable in New York at 5 to 7 per
cent. 1t is no wonder that money is with
drawn from industrial enterprises and in
vested in government bonds; it is no won
der that these bonds are the favorite over
all other securities; it is no wonder that
during the last two years of depression
and disaster they have gone steadily up
in the same proportion that other forms
of credit have gone down. The govern
ment credit has been strengthened by
process that has ground individual credit
to powder and cost the people FIVE times as
much as the improvement in the govern
ment credit is worth.

A RAILROAD OBSTRUCTION CASE.

There has been some disagreement between
the contractors building the Tyber-creek sewer,
south OF Maryland avenue, and the authorities
Of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, respect
ing the method Of passing the trains while the
work Of building the sewer across streets was in
progress The running OF the trains seemed
likely to be stopped, when q few days ago the
railroad company obtained q temporary Iniunc-
ton stopping the construction OF the sewer across
North Capitol street. The case came up yes
terdRy on its hearing, and was argued by
CLARK and McVeagh for the company and Blair
and Birney for the District. The court gave its
judgment, the injunction was discharged, and the
contractors were authorized and required to con.
Struct the sewer under the tracks Of the Balti-
more and Potomac railroad where It crosses South
Capitol street under the direction OF the engi-
neer Of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, and
TO provide temporary support for the railroad
tracks during the construction of the sewer under
the railroad under the supervision Of the said en-
gineer in such manner not to interfere with the
transit Of trains during such construction, and TO
permit safe passage Of the trains while the
work is in progress an account Of the extra cost
TO the contractor being kept, and the question
on whom the payment OF such additional cost shall
fall being left for further adjudication.

The Bessemer staamahin.

The London Times Of the 23d OF February says
at will be remembered that during the two trials
Of the Bessemer, which have been made at sea
out Of the Humber, It was impossible to test the
action Of the saloon, which is the most character
istic feature Of the ship, because the mechanism
for putting It into operation was not completed.
Since the last trial of the vessel, however, this
mechanism has been completed, and has been
subject to trial in the Albert dock at Hull. 1t
will be gratifying to many persons to learn that It
has been found to answer most satisfactorily. OF
course the test could only be Of preliminary
dock but in point Of fact this test is in the opn
ion Of Mr.. Bessemer, Mr.. Reed, and all the other
professional gentlemen concerned, q more severe
test than any which will occur at sea, because
while at sea the object will merely be to prevent
the saloon from partaking Of the osclllating mo-
lions Of the ship; ii necessary in the dock in
order TO test the apparatus TO put the saloon into
more or less violent motion within the ship, thus
imparting to It o momentum which at esch re-
Versal OF the motion had to be destroyed, q new
momentum in the opposite direction having to be
generated. However this may be 1t Is, no doubt
so far satisfactory to learn that the machinery,
which is intended to work the Bessemer saloon,
has full command over II, and that Mr.. Besse-
mer's remarkable contriYance has, up to this
point, afforded nothing but the most promising
the course Of another week the ship and saloon
will be completed in every respect save that Of
putting in place the pictures and other decorative
tiOns as we'll as for the final painting Of the bot
tom, the vessel will be brought to the Thames,
and In the course Of two or three weeks she will
be ready to proceed upon her service between
Dover and Calais, which will be performed, It Is
expected, under the auspices Of the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway Company. It Is
probable that before being sent upon the day
bition trips will be made from Gravssend for the
convenience Of the various official and other per-
sons more or less connected with the ship"
