Eisting Corporations Under ths
Nsw Constitution : What Ar.
QoWen eays on that Point.

Tie neW Constitution contains many
desirable provisions. The only mis-
toke about i,s submission vas, that 1t
was submitted as whole, aud thus the
Objectionable we're carried along aud
adopted With the desirable provisions
The parties who so loudly advocated 1t
on account of its withering effect on ex-
is,ing corporations, as they alleged,
may learn how its provisions in that
particular are viewed by reading por-
iion Of speech by Franklin b. Gowen,
Esq President, of the Reading Rail-
road Company, delivered before Leg
islative Committee appointed last ses-
sion. Mr. Gowen said
81 did to the utmost oppose and de-
nounce the railroad articles IN that con-
sututicu I sai1 it was an iniquity. l
said the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
p,ny and the Reading Railroad Com
pauy already had al the rights they
ever would want, and that it was an ini-
guilty to prevent other corporations that
might come after from enjoying the
same rights, and | think used this
language, that the Reading Rsilroad
Company and the Pennsylvania railroad
Company could afford to pay SlO,0O0,-
oe0 for the adoption Of a constitution
which would protect their powers aud
prevent any opposition being gotten up
against them. But was laughed at,
aud because il was SO apparent to me
that by very many of my respected
irieuds in that convention I was con-
sidered an enlissary Of railroads, l
thought il was better TO retire from tue
body altogether. But | think the sue
ceedlrg history Of this State will con-
vince the people that there never was
a more iniquitous provision than that
which gave to Us and protected US in
possession of powers that never can be
taken away, and yet prohibited you
from giving to any rival line, any rights
such as We possess. | say this simply
to viudicate the position took in the
constitutional Convention, not as the
representative of corporation, for |
acted against the interests Of the cor
poration with which | am connected,
but as representative of the people,
claiming the right for every man tc
have the same power that We have, and
thus to obliterate the distinction be.
tween individuals and corporations.

The Democracy on Greenbacks
and Reputation.

The Ohio Democracy, infstioniSts
under the lead of Governor Allen, have
10 real love for the greenback. The
motive that lies at the bottom of tbeiI
sctiOn on the currency question, and
prompts them to insist 90 Justify fol
an overwhelming issue of paper money,
is the desire to have such q quantity
thrust on the country that the conf
dence of the people in its redemption
Will be entirely broken up, and thus
the way for reputation will be made
easv. 1t is reputation that they de-
sire. If they can bring about . pros
tration of the country such as would
follow a repudiaiion of the currency, q
general breaking up of all that has
been done by the Republican party,
when 1t was compelled to grapple with
Rebellion, 70 save the life Of the Re-
public, would follw, and the old order
Of things that existed before the Re-
bellion would come in quite naturally
Give US reputation, is their argument
that will be followed BY business
prostration that will bankrupt the ma
ton, and cause such discomfort among
the people, that amidst the confusion
they will restore the old order of things.
Ths. is the card they play on.
The Democracy failed in rendering
tue currency odious, va!ueless, by cali
ing i, rags and declaring 1t uuconstitu-
tional. They have now wheeled about
IN favor of an almost limitless amount
If the money that they condemned. II
their advice be followed, their next
step in few years will be to declare
that there is such an over issue Of cur
rency that it can never be redeemed /;
hat IL is just like an individual who
has too many notes or promises to pay
out they can never be paid, and be
must break, and his paper become as
valuless as the strips of waste paper
that lie about the streets aud rot. That
i. the situation TIE lOng-beaded leaders
Of the Democracy wish to bring the
nation into They desire TO get such an
over issue OF currency thar the improb-
ability of it's redemption, or payment
vii! be apparent to ali, and thereby de-
stroy confidence in it, which, if accom-
plished, would lead to its immediate
repudiarios, and then as consequence
would follow in the hurry burly of
things the restoration Of the manage
men: that existed before the Rebellion.
History presents many changes as strik-
ing a. that. lie. the coantry not be de-
ceived it is not the greenback that
the Democracy love so much, but re-
ruaiatiou and its consequences that
ihsy love more.

The Mountain Msadows Mur-


LAa Saturday tho jsry n The Nor
non Mountain Meadows massacre failed
TO agree, and were discharged BY the
court. 1t is reported that they stood
nine for acquittal and .bree-one Geu-
tile and two Mormons-for conviction.
The Philadelphia Times, commenting on
the present result, says.
The remarkable trial of John d.
Lee, . leading Utah Mormon, for the
wholesale buichery known as the Noun
tain Meadows massacre, has ended as
was generally anticipated. and as is
fashionable now in the trial of eminent
teachers-the jury failing to agree. 1t
would have been expecting quite too
much of . Mormon jury to convict Mr.
Lee, no matter how conclusive the tes-
timony might be as to bis guilt, and it
is one Of the gratifying Indications Of
the progress of civilization in Mormon
dom that two Mormon jurors joined the
one Genrile juror in wanting verdict
of conviction. Ii is improbable now
that there shall ever be punishment by
the courts for this fieDdish atrocity +;
but the trial Just had was most impor-
tant in removing all reasonable doubts
from the public mind as to the guilty
parties. Ii can be no longer ques-
toned that the hspless emigrauts who
met their sad fate at Mountain Mes-
dows were murdered in cold blood by
Mormons under the leadership Of Lee,
and in obedience to q mandate of the
Church that Lee could not have dIso-
beyed and lived The material points
of the prosecution we're made ou,
clearly and connectedly, and the blood
of the victims fixed inefabiy upon the
altar of the Mormon Church. 1t is q
good beginning, sud the day is not dis
tant when the Mormon Church shall
cease to protect the murderer even in
the Utah courts.

Save Me from NV Friends.

Mr.. Beecher has passed the ordeal
that his enemies set for him, but new
one confronts him, in the too much talk
that his friends are indulging in about
him and bis habit of life. How much
too highly cnlored their conversation is,
if too much color there be in it, can
only be conjectured by one not in that
circle. But that the tints are deep, all
may see by what Mr.. Shearrnan one Of
Mr. Beecher's counsel, said to inquir-
ing friends, across the ocean, in Eng.
land, whittier he has travelled since the
trial. The lawyer friend, while in Lon
don, few days age, visited religious
place of worship, called the Temple,
and was there subject by the pastcr
and others to a series of questions rel
ative to the trial, and particularly the
question of kissing. OF course be an
swered in a manner that was highly
commendatory of his intellectual &C.
quirements, but just with how much
coloring the question of kissing was
answered, is question now that is a
good deal talked about on two conti-
uents. With coloring, or no coloring,
as the case may be, aid it is no. for
those outside to say, such talk as ME.
Shearman is reported to have delivered
in the Temple, Is calculated to do Mr..
Beecher and the profession in this coun-
try great hahn.
On the question of kissing hr. Shear
man is reported to have said that /" il
wss The common practice for gentlemen
and clergymen in this country to kiss
the wives of their intimate friends, and
that Mr.. Beecher was less given to this
familiarity than clergymeh generally" :"
As the country saying goes, that is
4" ont of the pan into the 6re," and Mr..
Beecber may well say, Save me from
my friends"
But the probability is that Mr.. Shear
man has rot been correctly reported.

PRESIDENT GRANT has been rouudly
abused for appointing few relatives to
Office. The Democrats call it " nepot-
ISM" to give it an awful sound to their
intelligent people. Now just to think
that model reformer, Governor T,ldeu,
has gone into "nepotism'' too, for only
last week he appointed his "nephew" to
his military secretaryship. Will the
Democrats condemn Tilden. Isn't it
awful now, this thing Of nepotism, ne
potism nepotism Tilden.
