Mr. Randall makes a good Speaker
UNDINE.

Mr. Randall makes a good Speaker
and the minority has very little to
com plain of; but Mr.. Randall is
quite as good Democrat as he is a
Speaker, and he never by any mis-
take turns up on the wrong side. His
vote yesterday to unseat Mr.. Field,
of Massachusetts, was the act of a
blind and bigoted partisan, and
showed disregard of justice which
is the best evidence of how much
more of politician than statesman
Mr.. Randall is. AS member of the
majority nothing better was expec-
ted, but as the presiding Office of the
House Mr.. Randall must see the I'M
wisdom of his action.-Philadelphia

The railroad ana Canal ln1quIty IS
completed, and our citizens rights
have been utterly ignored. We cam
not change the result, but we wish to
place some facts on record for subse-
quent use and reference. Not till the
bill reached the House was there a
man to be found who had the courage
to state the facts as they existed, or
raise voice for the plundered State
or its citizens. 1t now appears that
the Indebtedness to the State was but
little short Of 81 100000, most of
which was in the shape ofjudge-
ments rendered by the Courts of last
resort, and collected by scire facias.
The friends of the bill evidently
feared the publicity that was being
made by the discussion, and under
whip of the previous question drove
the bill to its third reading on the
first day of its appearance in the
House, and on its second day passed
it with d haste that was most un-
seemly considering the gravity of
the interests involved. And now
that this great wrong has been con-
sumated, we are free to say that we
believe in their anxiety to deal lib
orally with these corporations, and
their Indifference to the peoples
needs several political aspirants in
both parties have committed politi-
cal hari kari. If our people soon
forget the men who betrayed
them, we do not know of what they
are made. The plausible and subtle
generalities by which the Legislature
has been debauched do not appear,
but when the results of this iniquity
are brought home to the people woe
unto those who shall have helped it
on, or stood idly by while it was &C.
eomplished.
We regret to SEQ that Mr.. Brace,
from whom our people expected bet
ter things, allowed himself to be
used in shutting off debate. 1t was
he who called the previous question
on the first day on Mr.. Yellot's
amendment. To Mr.. Yellot and Mr..
Blair we owe all that was done to
impede its passage and give the
House time to consider the measure
in all its bearings; consideration
was not wanted, at least of that kind,
and cut and dried as it came from the
''star chamber" of the committee,
who had listened to Mr.. Kings "im-
pressive" statements, it was put
through and an opportunity to com.
pei the railroad to deal equitably
with our people, and enjoin 1t from
further discrimination against us
was lost forever"
With Judgments" ready to issue
against it of over 81, 400, 900, with an
empty treasury, what could this
company have done but comply with
these Just demands. The State was
in position to enforce its demands /;
by she stupidity or worse, of its rep.
resentatives it has utterly thrown
away its great opportunity. AS a
business transaction the whole com
promise is entirely indefensible and
unjustifiable, in view of the fact thai
the peoples rights have been so
studiously ignored and neglected.

THE editor Of the Charleston Necs and
Courier is beginning to squeal Justify over
the successful attacks being made on the
South Carolina revolutionists in the North
ern press. He employs oil the lying ma
chinery known to the Southern Democrat in
his effort to stay the outraged public senti-
ment Of the North; but his efforts will
prove Of no avail, ms his scurvy sheet has
already, by its admission, shown that South
Carolina is under the sway of villainous
mob, who are openly bidding defiance to the
United States laws. He has heretofore fire.
quently misled the people of South Carolina
by his incendiary utterances, and much Of
the lawlessness now being pmcticed there Is
trnceable TO his pen. 1t is a sad commentary
upon any people who rely upon such a man
for their political pabulum, and 1t would
have been far better for them had DAWSON
remained upon his native heath, where the
laws are potent enough to transport such
fellows to a seclusion where their proclivi-
ties for doing harm are greatly curtailed

plan, and esoh OF which has applied for Gov
ernment recognition Of Its special right 10 be
considered standard authority In the inspec-
don and classification Of vessels In this coun-
try, &c.
The bill itself simply provides that all
sailing vessels engaged in trading to foreign
countries shall have, In addition to the
usual clearance papers, certificate of in
spcction and classification, under an official
seal of duly-appointed officer Of the Treas
ury Department. 1t applies alone to sail
Ing vessels, and is still pending in the COM
merce COMMITTEES; but it should be re-
ported at once, it strikes us, when Con-
gress reassembles, with an amendment
making its provisions applicable to steam
vessels also 1t was introduced about the
time Of the excitement caused by the disas-
ter to the steamer Metropolis, regarding
which Solicitor RAYNoRs report Of last
August attracted some attention. That re-
port, 1t will be remembered, ascribed the
accident, in a great measure to the loose
ness of the inspection before the Metropolis
was permitted to proceed oh her voyage.
But the great desideratum to be reached in
this matter is to give us a system Of inspec-
tion as authoritative rs that of the British
Admiralty, which is acceptable to the un-
derwriters and insurance men Of every
country of the globe.

IT Is noticed that the Grecnback Con-
gressmcn elected this month In Iowa are
opposed to another election In November.
They are satisfied with the present situa-
ton, and their Democratic coadjutors would
be the same if the past results had been fa-
vorable to them. As 1t is, they want to
keep on and on and on electing and trying
to elect until they succeed in getting some
basis for contest by their candidates which
will furnish au excuse to an expected,
though not conceded, Democratic House to
reject the Republican members who now
hold the Governors certificate.

INSPECTION OF sEA.GoING VESSELS.

The legislation of Congress regarding the
supervision or inspection of sea-going ves-
sells has been far from perfect, and it is
admitted that the present system Of inspec-
ton requires much amendment to make it
acceptable. The late loss of the Express
between this port and Baltimore, an ac-
count of which has been printed in our
news columns, was due to the fact that
when the sea boarded her the saloon and
other woodwork was crushed "like brown
" paper.n In another recent similar dsas-
ter in the East, 1t appears that a defect In
the boiler of the vessel was hidden from
view by covering Of felt. At the last ses-
sion of Congress bill was introduced, pro-
viding for a classification of the sailing
merchant marine Of the United States en-
gagged in foreign commerce, the preamble to
which shows that the class of vessels 1t Is
designed to effect ore not even so well Sc
cured as regards the matter of inspection as
those vessels which, like the Express, are
classed as coastwise, The preamble, among
other things, recites the following facts:
Whereas the inspection aud classification of
the merchant marine of maritime countries Is
Of vital importance to their ship.building and
ship-owniug interests owing to the fact that
the reliability In the seaworthiness aud dura-
bilty of the vessel is the basis for estimate Of
her value and whereas 1t is the case in the

THE prospects Of a Republican victory in
Pennsylvania next week ure encouraging.
The campaign Is now about closed, aud in
all paris of the State the Republican party
is solid on principle. Orators and organs
agree alike on the subject of principle, and
at all Republican meetings the discussion
runs entirely on those great issues which
involve the honor of the Government and
concern the interests of all the great indus
tries of the land. The same truth applies
to Republican newspapers, the columns of
which daily and weekly are laden with
discussion Of measures and an examination
of the records Of men as these were made In
official positions. In contrast with this we
have the Democratic portion of the canvass
converted into q display of billingsgate at
tncks on men who are not candidates, fore
ing questions not involved in the canvass,
attacking orators for sentiments they never
uttered, assailing officials who are not cam
didates, all for the purpose of attracting
attention from the records of men who are
the chosen standard-bearcrs of the Demo-
cratic party. The Harrisburg Ttlcgrdph
concludes this estimate of the situation
with the remark:
Such Is the phase of the canvass a week be.
fore the day of election. The Democracy are
at sea. The Republicans are in their boats,
every man at his oar or with lis weapon of
truth in his hands. In the whole history of
Pennsylvania politics we have never seen the
Democracy in a more dcplorablo condition.
