bankrupted by robbery, as the treasury OF

Railroad Projects.

Valley in competition with the North
Pennsylvania branch of the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad, has been temporarily
abandoned. The board of directors of the
Lehigh Valley railroad company decided
at their last regular meeting held recently,
that the continuance of the work on the
line at this time would be inexpedient, and
notified the Pennsylvania railroad company
and the other party interested, to that Ell
feet. Operations have therefore ceased, and
the grading Of the route, all of which has
been laid, has been discontinued,
This action will not, however, interfere
with the construction of another railroad
line to Norristown, which the officials of
the Pennsylvania railroad company say
will at all events be carried out.

Why They Failed.

Lcwistown Democrat and Sentinel. Dem.
The two Republican members from Lam
caster county who voted for the thieving
riot bill and against expelling the roosters,
are among those cleft out'' in the late
primary canvass. Philadelphia, Dauphin,
Lebanon, Erie and Allegheny counties are
probable the only localities in the
state whence members of that kind
will get chance to be returned to warm a
seat in legislative halls again. Lancaster
county is none too good to reward such
fellows that way, but the two in this in
stance, in the war of factions down there,
respectively designated as the clog "

with the weaker crowd, and hence, not be-
cause of their infdelity to their trust and
to the commonwealth, failed ola renomi-

THE first two days of the Chicago
convention have not seen much progress
effected in the actual work of that body,
though the action of the committee on
credentials, which has been consuming
the time, will of course finally determine
the complexion of the convention and
may facilitate its choice of candidate.
The decisions of the committee so far,
like all the preliminary work of the con-
vention, are damaging to Grant, and it
is difficult to understand upon what basis
his adherents remain hopeful and send
inspiring kilograms to their friends.
The vote of the Vermont delegation
with the Grant men, on supposed test
question, confirms the belief that when
Grant is beaten his strength will he
thrown to Edmunds, who will concen-
trate the field against Blaine and defeat
him. That continues to be the most
likely issue of the convention.
In 1876 Blaine started out with 2S5
votes, to 125 for Morton and 11S for
Bristow. He reached 351 on the seventh
ballot, and for all that was beaten. So it
may happen again.
The vote of 31S for to 4O7 against the
motion of Gen. Sharpe Grants brother
in-law-to order the committes on Gre
dentials to report is taken as fair test
of Grants greatest strength; and the
only hope of his friends must be to wear
out all the other candidates and drive
enough of their friends home in disgust
to buy the requisite number of stragglers
to give them majority.

An Obliging Judge.

centre county Democrat, Dem.
The Lancaster Republicans had another
riot few days ago at the late convention
of primary return judges in which the
best workers." took the usual prizes in the
fraud manipulation so common in the
party of that city. 1t appears the usual
amount of drunkenness and rowdyism was
displayed and two of the census enumer-
ators, Powell and Miller, who were espec-
tally turbulent were with others committed
by the mayor of the city to prison for
thirty days. But the every ready Judge
Patterson was on hand and came promptly
to the rescue. He relieved the rioters of
their sentence in order to permit them to
enter upon the important duty of num-
bering the people, but Supervision
Snowden was just as prompt in relieving
them of all connection with the work of
the census by canceling their appoint

An Australian cattle dealer named
Grunbaum had his life insured for $500 {:
he murdered a stranger whom he met in
found dressed the corpse in his clothes,
putting on himself those of the dead man,
and placed his letters in the pockets of
his victim. His wife was to draw the
policies payable on the death of her hus-
band, and the two then intended to emil

The scheme well nigh succeeded, but an
insurance agent, who had read the Udder-

TIE Democratic national convention
which is to meet in Cincinnati in less
than three weeks will he very different
gathering from that which is now in ses-
sion in Chicago and is engaging the at
tention of the whole country. In the
Republican convention there is simply a
struggle of the bosses. a competition of
the machines. The Democracy, on
the other hand, have in nearly
every case elected unpledged state
delegations of 6 no mans men," There
will be no one or two or three leaders to
dictate policy or candidates; no syndi-
cate to boss the job. There will be no
one candidate with solid body of dele
gates to " stick till Saturday night" in
order to force their candidate upon an
unwilling party, and whoever is finally
the nominee of the convention, will not
he made such by slender majority or its
members against the earnest protests of
nearly as many rs vote for him. No man
can lie named as the Democratic candi'
date without receiving the vote of two
thirds of the whole convention, and the
assent of majority of the states re-
quired to elect him. If the opposition to
Mr.. Tilden is anything like as strong as
his opponents represent it, he can never
overcome this obstacle to his success if
he is the sagacious politician and
loyal Democrat that his friends
represent him to be, no one will desire
less than he to see himself or anybody
else chosen who will not sOlidify the par
ty and command its united vote. On
the other hand his strength is certain to
he sufficient to prevent the nomination
of any candidate distasteful to him or
who would fail to get the essential sup
port of the extreme anti-Tammany ele-
ment in New York. For all purposes of
party harmony and an available nomina-
tion the abrogation of the unit rule by
most of the states and the continuance
of the the two-thirds rule by the national
convention promise an honorable, salts
factory and auspicious deliverance at
Cincinnati.
