FRIDAY OCTOBER 10, 1873.
The Hkrai.d Sja'cial Dispatches
have crowded out over 5tK) words of the
general telegrams sent in common to
the three newspapers in this city.
Owing to the pressure upon our
columns by special telegrams, the re
port pf an irrigation meeting, held at
Oallntin yesterday, and a great mass
of other local matters is unavoid
ably crowded out.
Pennsylvania and the Railroads.
A constitutional convention is now
in session in Pennsylania. Several
amendments to its constitution are
proposed, which, if adopted as a part
of the organic law, will effect radical
and sweeping changes. These amend
ments declare that all canals and rail
roads in the State are public highways,
free to all persons to use them on equal
terms, acconllng to fixed rules and
rates, without invidious discrimina
tion, and subject to the general laws.
Any individual partnership or corpo
ration may construct and operate a
railroad or canal in Pennsylvania, sub
ject only to the condition of paying rea
sonable compensation for public or pri
vate property used, injured or destroy
ed. Any railroad may intersect and
connect with any other railroad, and
may pass its ears, empty or loaded,
over such other railroad, and no dis
crimination shall he made in passen
ger or freight tolls, and tariffs on per
sons or projK'rty, passing from one
t ail road to another,and no unnecessary
delay interposed in the forwarding of
such persons and property to their dcs-
tination. Transportation companies
and their lessees and managers are pro
hibited from owning, leasing or con
trolling competing lines, and the ques
tion as to whether railroads or canals
are parallel or competing lines shall
always be decided by a jury In a trial
according to tbe course of the common
law. All railroads, canals and joint
stock companies shall forever be sub
ject to taxation, and the power to tax
the same shall not be surrendered or
suspended by any contract or grant to
which the State shall be a party.
Railroad companies doing business
as common carriers are prohibited from
engaging, directly or indirectly, in
miuing or manufacturing articles for
transportation. They shall not ac
quire any lands, except such as may
he necessa-y for tbe business of com
mon carrying. But any mining or
manufacturing company may carry
the products of its mines and manu
factories on its railroad or canal not
exceeding fifty miles in length. No
corporation shall issue stocks or bonds
except for money, labor or property
actually received; and all fictitious in
crease of stock or indebtedness shall
be void; the stock and indebtedness of
corporations shall not be increased ex
cept in pursuance of general law, nor
without the consent of tbe persons
holding the larger amount iv value of
the stock first obtained, at a meeting
of which sixty days' notice shall be
given. No street railroad shall be con
structed without tlie consent of the
local authorities. Free passes, except
for officers and employes of a compa
ny, are prohibited. Tlie Legislature
is authorized to adopt suitable regula
lations, iv accordance with the funda
mental principles of the Constitution.
Tbe laws and regulations are to be
general, ami special legislation and
grants are absolutely prohibited. The
Secretary of Internal attairs of Penn
sylvania is invested with a general
supervision of railroad and canals, and
charged with the administration of all
laws in relation to tliem.
Let our Assemblymen and Senators
ponder these questions deeply. They
may not all be the best—they proba
bly are not; but there certainly is a
vast improvement over the system
tbat has been in this and in fact all
other States. The coming Legisla
tors will be called upou to do some
thing in this direction for California.
Let them be prepared to do it, and do
it well.

only Son oft iod, Redeemer of men.
"You are laboring to bring together
on the comllion ground the difl'erent
christian professions which have been
so sadly, and, until now, so irremedia
bly separated. My ambition, I con
fess, is still higher. Where you are
satisfied with an alliance, I would de
sire an organic and vital unity. I be
lieve this unity to lie in the futurcdes
tiniesof the Christian church."
Henry Ward Heecher, in his address
of welcome, at Brooklyn last evening,
said to one of (he delegates of the
Evangelical Alliance: "If it were an
extermination at sects that was sought
hy this convenlion; if that was the
philosophy of it, I should certainly
not he of It, for I do not think it would
be wise to exterminate sects.and bring
the Church into one great philam
stery, (?) any more than it is bene ft
eial to society t> bring together all
great families into onephilamstery.(?)
We get along very well, and allow

Some banks have virtually resinned
the payment of greenbacks.
Mr. Camp, manager of the clearing
bouse, said to-day tbat since tbe issue
of loan Certificates there have not been
so many greenbacks seen us yesterday,
when the clearances were made.
A Wall street bank president,spoken
to on tbe subject, said he thought that
greenbacks bad become sufficiently
plentiful to allow of resumption. In
case, however, the pressure became too
great, the banks would no doubt fall
back on the plan followed during the
past two weeks, as a measure of safety.
There was no reason, he said, why the
payment of legal tenders should notgo

larger quantities of grain than had
been received at any time before. The
shipments of grain from the west had
been greater during the past week than
during any week in the history of the
country, and all this had been paid for
in legal tenders.

LETTER FROM COMPTON.
Compton; Oct. Bth, Ist:'..
Editom Herald:—The long-expect
ed "HKRALD" has at last made its
appearance in this community, and
seems to give general satisfaction.
The people of this county at last bave
a " live " paper, and one, if we may
judge from the previous numbers, tbat
will not tie afraid to represent the in
terests of the people. The want of a
journal of this character has long been
felt, and now that that want has been
fully supplied by tbe HERALD, we
trust that the 'Ides" of the present
month will usher in a new era of fixed
prosperity for the "County of the An
gels," of which prosperity we hope
Compton will receive a share.
This city, like tbe Capitol of our Un
ion, might be called the "City of mag
nificent distances.' 1 There is room for
great improvement, and if we have
not v large city in the land, we can at
least boast of having a " large amount
of land in the city." I am not facet
ious; I only take this means of inform
ing those who are desirous of locating
in this county, that all the land is not
yet sold, ami that the prices, soil, ol|
mate, and social privileges of Comp
ton and vicinity, otter Inducements to
such parties, tbat arc unsurpassed by
any other portion of Southern Cali
fornia.
AS A TEMPERANCE COMMUNITY,
Compton stands pre-eminently lirst
in Los Angeles county, if not in the
State. We bave here a store, post-of
fice, lumber yard, depot, hotel, and
otherplacesof business, school, church,
etc.; but there is not a single place
where the weary, thirsty traveller can,
for either love or money, slake his
thirst or moisten bis parched lips with
genuine Californiau " braiu-addler,"
wine, eider or beer. Indeed, it Is cur
rently reported "around the corner"
that there is but one resident who,
when visiting your city, indulges in
that which " btteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder;" but by way of
giving some coloring of truth to the
picture 1 havejlrawn,! will(say I don't
believe it.
The store at this placa contains a
fine assortment of goods, and the gen
tlemanly proprietors, Grand & New
mark, are fast tilling their pockets with
an article, the love of which is said to
be tbe "root of all evil."
A limited number of guests can find
ample accommodations at tbe Moun
tain View Hotel, where their wants
will be administered lo by the obliging
proprietor, ('. li. Wright.
Tbe church and school buildings are
sufficient evidences of the "go-ahcada
tiveness" of the community, und are
excelled nowhere in the county, out
side of Los Angeles. The school is tin
tier the direct supervision of Professor
Warren, formerly of Monterey, an effi
cient and Competent teacher. He is
assisted by Mr. Robinson, who has
charge of tne primary department.
On the whole, I think Compton can
offer superior educational Inducement.
The minister in charge of the M. K.
Church, Rev. Mr. Tarr, Is an affable
gentleman and a true christian, who
is beloved by his congregation, ami
commands tne respect of the entire
community.
With hearty wishes for the success
of the Hkkai.d, I remain,
Yours, J. S. Y.
