A DIsPATCH from DOwningtOn,
Pa, says "a band Of trInps, Sat-
urday night, stole quantity Of prop
erty from the railroad cars at West
chester Junction. The railroad en-
ployes made raid upon the tramps
and recovered the property, but not
until two railroad men and four
tramps were injured. Two trains
were stopped near LewistOwn by
them, yesterday morning, and IL
was only after q desperate resistance
upon the part of the conductors and
assistants that they were driven of.
1t Is estimated there are 900 to ! 800
tramps wandering between here and
Pittsburg.

The right of representation stands on
different and higher plane than the
right TO suffrage. The right of suffrage
may be limited with safety to liberty,
but the right of representation cannot
be thus limited. Ignorant men. or
man without property stake in society
may be safely denied the right of sal.
frage, but they can never be denied the
right OF representation, except under a
government which is absolute in form.
The distinction we have drawn will be
recognized. The wisdom of restricting
suffrage in the south as a policy is an
other question. The republicans are not
prepared TO as irt their "Amerieanism
which carries in its wake limited suf-
frage based on a property qualification,
at this time. The understrata of the
party still clings to the freedmen.
1t is clear this country is to experience
another epoch of organized agitation on
the negro question. an agitation by the
radical party which has for its objective
point the re-possession of political pow

turn on the question Of representation,

TINS year Iowa will have a general
election, which will chow the general
tide of the popular wave. The state
has stoutly opposed Hayes policy of re-
Cancellation, and the republicans are
divided among themselves. The dem
ocrats have little to do with the politics
Of the state. and will not form any
strong alliance with either wing. but
will doubtless allow them to work out
their own salvation, as their real
inclinations lead them. A successor to
Senator Allison, who now supports
Hayes. is to be elected, and while he
may hope to be his own successor, he
hopes almostagainst hope, for the strong
politicians of his state are likely to con-
troll the state convention against the
administration policy. If the state con-
vcntion dominates state officers who are
opposed TO the administration, his only
chance will be TO form coalition with
the democrats, which he does not desire
to do, as it is not powerful enough at
present to be OF much assistance to him.
