LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER MONDAY, APKIL11, 1881. iLancastcr tntelUgencct. MONDAY EVENINQ. APBIL 1881. A Vain Decision.

The Philadelphia Times thinks it worth while te speak of Mr. Gewen's presidency of the Reading read as being ended, and te give the title of president te Mr. It is a very shadowy title, te even tie title, that Mr. Bend has, and he lias net a premising prospect of taking anything very substantial by the decision of the court in his favor, which it seems te does net amount te anything Mr. Bend's counsel net being able te get from it an order te put him in possession of the office te which it declares entitled.

The court Inclined te think that a new procedure by quo warrante would lie needed te install the elected officers. Such impotence in the court's decision seems te show that there was something radically wrong in the method in which it undertook te take held of this dispute; for certainly if Bend is president, aud it had a right te se declare him, and went about, it in the proper form, it ought te be able te install him into the office it decrees him. Proceedings which are se ineffective would ap- pear te have been wrongly taken, it is net very creditable te the lawyers and judges that they should have worked se long ever this thing without practical result after the decision of the case lias been reached nor does inspire the lay mind with a supreme respect for the law or the judiciary te be told that the Reading officers have been elected by a minority of the stockholders, though we must feel a geed deal of satisfaction at the inability that is discovered te make se silly a law operative in putting men such chosen into their places. The stock market speedily appreciated the fact that this decision was of no consequence at all, as is indicated in the un changed price of Reading. It is very obvious that, with the corporation prep, erty in the hands of receivers, the temporary installation of elected by a minoritylef the stockheldersand therefore te be speedily put out, would amount te nothing even if it could be effected.

As long as Mr. Gewen is sustained by the owners of the property he will be master of the situation, whoever for the time being may nominally be president of the company. Mr. Bend and his directors have net even been able te held a meeting in the Reading building, which is legally in the custody of the receivers, as is every cent's worth of the property of the company. The newly declared officers had net a place te repose themselves in, and held their first meeting in the suspicious quarters of the Texas Pacific railroad company.

This was ill-advised in men who are charged by Mr. Gewen with being the agents of railroad corporations hostile te the Reading. Mr. Gould Is the moving spirit of the Texas Pacific, and Mr. Scott was.

Mr. Bend would have been wiser te have called his direct ors together in his parlor, at the Continental, or in his bed room, if he does net indulge in the luxury of a parlor. He shows great discretion in net having a special office for the company he represents has no money or assets under its control ami no business te de. His are light, his cash invisible and his need of office accommodations accordingly limited. Mr.

Bend is te be envied, indeed. We de net knew anyone who can enjoy the honorable title of president of se big a corporation with se little worriment. Gnawing a File. The legislative committee that is undertaking te discredit the state officers for their action in obeying the constitutional prevision which results in depriving the legislators of mere than a thousand compensation for their arduous labors, is gnawing a file. Chairman Ruddiman undertook te be impertinent te the state treasurer and te speak te him of impeachment also, te the attorney general, writing te him that the committee would make up its conclusion without asking for his testimony.

Mr. Ruddiinau may be a geed lawyer and a man ordinarily sensible but he and his fellows are acting in this matter like great geese. The people are fully in sympathy with the state officers in their resolve te take their stand en the constitution, aud they are net caring a great deal either "what their motives are. Their acts quite suffice for the popular contentment. It appears that this motion against the Legislature's compensation started with Governer Heyt, who expressed his belief te the state treasurer that the law was unconstitutional which gave a larger salary than a thousand dollars te the legislators.

That was an opinion which the governor had a right te held and te express te his fellow officials. It was his duty, in fact, te de se. If his opinion was sound it was right that it should be enforced, whatever prompted him te held.it and when the attorney general, the law adviser et the executive efllcerSjdeclared it te be sound, it was their duty te act accordingly and no sophistry can evade this conclusion nor can any nonsensical talk about courtesy due te the Legislature break its force. It is the very sublimity of assurance in a law-maker te say that the law should net ba declared and enforced against him because he is a legislator that position only makes it the mere imperative that he shall obey the law and mere appropriate that he should ba punished for breaking it. We advise Mr.Ruddiman and his committee and fellow legislators te try te he sensible, and te learn that they are in no way excused by the fact they allege that the officers of the state struck down their pay, net because it was unlawful, but because they wanted te bring the session te an early end.

It does seem, from the excitement engendered among the legislators by stepping their jycrdian, that the governor gauged very correctly the degree of their patriotism, if their charge against him is true, and knew that te send them home in a hurry it was only needful te step their per diem. There is a fine opening for an independent ticket te be run by some enterprising Republican politicians who will sell places en it at low rates.

Finney readied ever the desk and struck him, and coming from behind the railing ordered him te quit the house. As he shoved him toward the deer Finney struck or pushed him se that he fell near thedoer.

Carpenter, but he was net hi, and Mr. Hurd was assured that Dr. Oliver Reland, who bearded at the house would seen be in te supper.
