THE DISTRICT SYSTEM.—At a meet
ing of the-Republican Executive
Com
mittee. of Allegheny County, hold in
Pittsburg on Tuesday last, the follow
ing resolution was offered
'Resolved, That -we heartily denounao
the recent attempt - of the Philadelphia
Convention to arrogate to itself the
power of choosing District Congression
al delegates to the National.Conven
lion at Chicago, as also the mower of
bindingfrinstructilig all the delegates
throughout the State to vote as a unit,
as a gross, arbitrary abuse of power on
the - part of the majority of the Cow:
vention.
The, resolution gave rise to consider
able _discussion and opposition, and
several amendments and motions were
offered, but it was finally adopted,
several members, however, voting in
the negative.
The Free Railroad Law has pass
ed both branches of the Legislature
and is now in the hands of the Gover
nor. It authorizes any number of per
sons, not less than nine, to form a com
pany for the construction of a Railroad,
-giving to them corporate privileges,
provided ten thousand dollars of stock
for every mile of road proposed to be
made is subs,cribed, and ten per cent
um paid thereon in cash. Companies
- created under the act to have power to
t borrow- money not exceeding the
amount of capital stock subscribed,
and to issue bonds of the Company
therefor to an amount not exceeding
double the amount of subscriptions ac
- tually paid in, at a rate of interest not
. exceeding seven per cent. This re.
striction is deemed harsh and illiberal,
and farther legislation will probably
be necessary to render the law effec
- Live.
Gov. Geary, on Monday evening
last, vetoed the so-called free Railroad
bill.
SOLDIERS NATIONAL CONVENTION.-
4 Soldiers and Sailors' National Con
vention will be held in Chicago on the
19th of May next, the day before the
sitting of the National Republican
Convention in the same city, for the
purpose of placing in nomination can
didatesfOr President and Vice Presi
dent of the United States. At tho
Soldiers' Stale Convention, held in
Philildelphia; on the Bth of January,
General James S. Beaver, its Presi
dent, was directed to appoint the dole
-gates from this State, and they were
instructed to vote Air Grant and Cur
tin. The following is a list of the dele
gates at large, selected by General
Beaver:
General J. F. Hartranft, Goneral
Charles H. T. Collis, General A. [l.
Tearson, General Harry White, Gen
eral Lemuel Todd, and General Har
rison Allen.
The delegates from this . district are
General J. P. Taylor, Colonel R. A.
'McCoy, and Ciptain Joseph A. Green.
The Vice Presidency.
It is very evident that Andrew G.
Curtin is again to be denied justice by
the leaders of the party he has so earn
estly worked for and so faithfully ad
hered to. For United States Senator,
two years ago, he was the choice of a
very largo majority of his party, but
he was cheated and sold by Reresen
tatives, and defeated. Now ho is be
fore his party as its choice for Vice
President of the :United States, and
again his enemies in every district in
the State are at work to defeat him.
The following from the Harrisburgh
Daily State Guard will give the read
er an idea of the "situation."
'' "Tun VICE PRESIDENCY.—From what
we have lately soon in leading West
ern papers, and heard from prominent
men in the extreme East, we have lit.
tlo' doubt that a combination is now
being made' if it is not already corn-
Ploted,.to throw the Republican nom
ination for the Vico Presidency in the
Southwest. There is no one to dispute
with the West the nomination for the
Presidency, which nomination it is as
, sorted by Western politicians, was not
secured by any action of the men of
that section. Grant's nomination for
the Presidency is the resultofa nation
al demand, as much labored for by
Eastern as by Western, Northern or
Southern Republicans. Hence, say
Western politicians, what so essential
ly conduces to the certainty of success,
and what was demanded by the com
bined party.im its only means of tri
umph dare not be ascribed to the cred
it of any section. Acting in this faith,
the whole West and Southwest, leav
ing out Ohio, are unquestionably labor
ing for the nomination of Schityler
Colfax for Vice President. Mr. Wade's
friends say ho will not accept the nom
ination for the Vico Presidency, un
less it is unanimously tendered to him.
This is characteristic of the veteran
Senator and incorruptible Republican.
Ho is an unselfish man, and despises
mere contests for place. His battle
has always been for principle, for
which ho has labored longer and sac
rificed more than any man in the
country. -But no civilian living pan
Secure a unanimous nomination for
the Vice Presidency. Hence, if Mr.
Wade is firm in his resolve only to ac
cept the nomination on its unanimous
offer, ho will not be the candidate.—
Pennsylvania will have trouble in her
delegation, and although it is the hon
est desire of the people of the State,
that its vote in the Chicago Conven
tion should be a unit for Curtin, the
political tricksters and charlatans who
have been enriched by prostituting the
powers of the Republican party, will
,go to Chicago and disgrace the _Key
stone State by defying the will of its
Republican majority. Outside of New
York Fenton has no strength. The
Eastern States, acting on an understand
ing with the West, will go in a body for
Colfax. We have this fact from a gen
tleman who feels sure of the reliabili
ty of the statement he makes. The
East and the West, combined, will
make the Vice Presidential nomina
tion. It is the determination of these
sections not to allow Ohio, Pennsylva
nia or New York to control this honor
and what will help the East and West,
is the fact that either one of the three,
great States is ready to veto so as to
not allow the other to secure this nom•
ination. As a Pennsylvania, our choice
is Curtin, first and last, but we are
_prepared to support the nomination of
the Convention. In the meantime it
is only fair that our readers should
understand the moves now being made
on the political chess-board. It is our
duty, as a journalist, to publish facts
which are calculated to enlighten our
readers. The fact that the Republi•
cans of the East and the West are
combining to make_the Vice Presiden
tial nomination, is interesting now,and
will be more interesting as the Chica
go Convention approaches."
MrFish brooding is bringing to light
many interesting facts in their natural
history. The hatching of fish eggs is
said by experts in that; business to be
easier and more surer than the hatch
ing of fowl's eggs. Tho whole expense
of putting fifty million shad in the Con
necticut river did not exceed fifty dol
lars. The eggs of shad put in water
of suitable temperature, produceyoung
fish in a few days. The salmon trout
eggs require a longer incubation than
those of' most birds. Salmon require
two months or more, under the most
favorable circumstances. Tho Now
England Fish Commissioners are hav
ing great luck, in the hatching lino, at
the Charlestown Springs, in New
Hampshire, where they deposited 40,-
000 eggs in October. They hatched
on the 11th of December, just sixty
two days from the time they were ta
ken from the parent fish. The eggs of
the salmon trout, at these springs, were
thirty.fivo days in hatching, which is
said to be a very short time. The, an
nual catch of shad. in the Connecticut
has dwindled to about 500,000. if 50,-
000,000 wore turned into the river, as
reported, shad ought to be plenty and
very cheap next spring. For the sal
mon we shall have to wait longer.
They are two years or more in corning
to maturity. -

General Hartranft,
The following notice of the General's
Annual Report and of the General him
self, we find in the Evening Herald, a
Democratic paper published in Phila
delphia. The General must be a No.l
man to secure such a notice from a po
litical opponent. The book wo have
also received, for which the General
will accept our thanks. The Herald
says
"It gives us exceeding pleasure to
recognize sterling merit, and especi
ally when it is exhibited in a direc
tion whore it was not expected. We
have received from General Hartranft,
Auditor General of the State of Penn
sylvania, his annual report of our ca
nals and railroads for the year,' 18G7,
in a durable and handsome volume of
five hundred and fifty pages. It is
from the press of the State printers at
Harrisburg, Messrs. Singerly and Mey
ers. General Hartrantt has proven
himself the possessor of signal ability,
ofgreat and comprehensive business
capacity,. end of far-reaching execu
tive skill. His annual report met in
the House of Representatives of the
State with unlimited approval '
• it will
take its place among the most valutt.
ble public documents of the day. Its
contents are a handsome contribution
to the financial literature of the era,
including as they do the tabulated re
sults and comparative statements of
the business of all the railroads and
canals within the limits of the Com- .
monWealth. Its frontispiece compris•
es one, of the most elaborate maps over
yet issued, and that is the crowning
glory of every valuable report. The
volume will be treasured by every
statistician throughout the country,
and will take its place as a standard
work of reference. Gen. Hartranft
has proven himself emphatically the
right man in the right place. His re
nomination to the office he so ably fills,
was with the assent and approbation
of thousands of persons who appreci
ate his valuable services to the State,
and who would rejoice to see him per.
petuated in the position he has so ably
filled. We congratulate the Republi
cans for having for once stumbled up
on a gentleman of such sterling worth.
Let them treasure him. They have
few like him."
Official Report 'of Gen. Meade on the
Alabama Election,
WASHINGTON, March 2S.—The Sec
retary of War sent to the House to-day,
in compliance with a resolution of that
body, the official report of Major• Gen•
eral Meade to General Grant, dated
Atlanta, Ga., March 23d, giving the
following analysis of the returns of the
veto in Alabama at the election, sub•
miffing to the registered voters the
constitution framed by the Convention
of that State :
total vote cast for the constitution, 70,812
Total vote cast against, 1,005
Total vote cast at the election, 71,817
Votes cast by colored men, 62,104
Votes cast by white men, 0,702
Not separated, 2,921
Colored votes east for the constitution, 62,089
Colored votes cast against, 105
. .
Whito votes cost for theconstitution, 5,802
White votes cast against, 000
Now the total vote at the election is
71,817, and deducting the vote in Sum
ter rejected, 1458, the actual vote cast
at the election is 70,359, and the con
stitution fails of ratification by 8114,
that is to say, the whole vote cast in
these counties, where the election was
held, falls short of one-half of the num
her reported voters in these counties
by 8114, and the constitution, there
fore, under the law requiring one-half
the registered voters to cast their votes
is not ratified.
"Acknowledging the importance of
the State being at the earliest moment
restored to her proper relations in the
Union, I cannot but look on the result
of the rocent election as an expression
of opinion that the registered voters
no not desire to be restored under the
constitution submitted to them, and in
view of the recent acts'of Congress to
givo the ratification to a majority of
the votes cast, I would prefer seeing
the convention reassembled for a re
vision of the constitution, and revised
constitution submitted to the people
under the new law. lam of the opin
ion that a revised constitution more
liberal in its terms, and confined to the
requirements of the Reconstruction
laws would, in Alabama, as I have oe•
cesion to expect it will in Georgia and
Florida, meet with approval of a ma
jority of the registered voters ; and I
beg leave to call your attention to the
difficulty of carrying on a government
in a ptato where so small a proportion
of anise qualified to take part in the
government aro in favor of the organ
ic law, and to secure to a larger pro
portion o f what must be the govern
ing classes, a more acceptable consti
tution."
Will Mr. Johnson be Convicted ?
The Pittsburgh Commercial of Meh.
26, says :
The votes taken in open session and
in private consultation, as they have
been reported by our special dispatch
es, possess a decided interest as hear
ing on the prospect of the President's
conviction. Seven Republicans voting
with the Democrats will acquit him,
two-thirds of the Senate being neces
sary to convict. In the secret session
of the 13th, on fixing the time when
the President should be required to
answer, there were three votes taken,
varying somewhat, but not essentially
in their bearing on the main question.
The ayes wore all Republicans ; the
nays were composed of all the Demo
crats and certain Republicans. Ono
vote stood ayes 27, nays 20 ; another,
ayes 28, nays 23. In the secret ses•
sion of the Senate, on Monday, the
proposition being to strike out April
2d, and insert March 30, as the day
for proceeding with trial, the vote
was, ayes 28, nays 23. On that occa
sion the following Republican Sena
tors voted with the Democrats : Messrs.
Anthony, Corbett, Edmunds, Fessen
den, Frolinghuysem, Grimes, Hender
son, Norton, Sherman, Sprague, Trum
bell, and Van Winkle, in all twelve.—
As a general thing these Senators have
voted with the Democrats. Mr. Wade
does not vote:

FROM WASHINGTON
THE IMPEACHMENT.
WASIIINGITON, March 24.
The Court .of impeachment commen
ced at one o'clock, when the Chief Ju
stice took his seat, and the President's
counsel, with the managers and the
me i rnbers of the House, also took seats.
Mr. Boutwell, one of the Managers,
road the following replication, and a
copy was ordered to bo furnished to
the counsel for the President.
The House of Representatives of the
United States have considered the
several answers of Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States, to the
several articles of impeachment against
him by them exhibited in the name of
themselves and of all the people of the
United States, and reserving to them
selves all the advantage of exception
to the insufficiency of the 'answer to
each and all of the several articles of
impeachment exhibited against the
said Andrew Johnson, President of
the United States, do deny each and
every averment in said several an
swers, or either of them, which denies
or traverses the acts, intents, crimes or
misdemeanors charged against the said
Andrew Johnson in said articles of im.
peachment, or either of them, and for
replication to the said answer do say
that the said Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United States, is guilty of
the high crimes and misdemeanors
mentioned in said articles, and that the
House of Representatives are ready to
prove the same.
The motion pending at the adjourn
ment, made by the President's counsel,
for time to prepare for trial came up.
Mr. Johnson moved to fix the time
at ten days.
Mr. Sumner moved an amendment,
to proceed with the trial from day to
day, Sundays excepted. -
At 3.25 p. in., the Senate reappeared
having been out exactly two hours.
Order having been restored, the Chief
Justice said: am directed to in
form the counsel that the Senate has
agreed to an order in response to their
application which will now be read !
Ordered, That the Senate will com
mence the trial of the President upon
the articles of impeachment exhibited
against him on Monday, the 30th day
of March, inst., and proceed therein
with all dispatch under the rules of the
Senate bearing upon the trial of an im
peachment,. After a momentary pause
tho Chief Justice asked, have the coun
sel for the President anything to pro
pose? The counsel bowed in acquies
cence to the decision.
Mr. Butler of the managers—"lf the
chair will allow
. mo, -I will give notice
to the witnesses to appear here on
Monday, the 30th inst., at 124 o'clock.
On motion of Senator Wilson, the
court was then adjourned till the date
named above, at half past twelve
o'clock, and the Chief Justice vacated
the chair, which was immediately re
sumed by the President Pro tem., Mr.
Wade, who called the Senate to order.
WASHINGTON, .D. C., 'March 29, '6B.
Impeachment To-day.
There aro many rumors of an at
tempt on the part of the President's
counsel to interpose objections to-mor
row on coming into court which will
delay the anticipatod order of proceed
ings as agreed upon' by the mana
gers, but nothing of a definite charac
ter has been ascertained by them and
they now expect that Gen. Butler will
open the case on the part of the house
as soon as the court is called to order.
This speech will occupy from three to
five hours, according as Butler may
decide.
It is nearly useless to come with
the intention of seeing the court in
session without arranging with the
Senators in advance by telegraph or
letter. General Butler, since the du
ty of opening the case Was assigned to
him, has kept himself close in his pri
vate office, and employed some half
dozen copyists and messengers to
search for necessary books and docu
ments for reference. In case, he con•
eludes in time to-morrow, Judge Bing
ham intends to offer the first of the
testimony for the prosecution, which
will be documentary.
Order of Evidence
First in order, whenever the mana
gers do proceed, will be the oath of of
fice, taken by Andrew Johnson on the
15th of April, 1865, and certified by
the Chief Justice, to . support and de
fend the Constitution and laws; next
President Lincoln's nomination of
Stanton as Secretary of War, and the
official journal of the Senate's action
thereon, the injunction of secrecy hav
ing been removed by the Senate that
the managers might obtain it; then the
tenure of office law; milt Johnson's
suspension of Stanton under it; next
the non concurrence of the Senate in
the removal given by Johnson, and to
complete the list under this head, his
removal of Stanton and appointment
of Thomas.
Erancook's Assignment.
The order assigning Gen. Hancock
to command the Division of the Atla
ntic, will be promulgated to the army
through G\•ant's headquarters tomor
row. The Division so constituted, will
consist of the department of each as it
'existed under General Meade, with
headquaters at Philadelphia, and the
Department of Washington added to
it. The headquarters will probably
be at Philadelphia.
NEW MACHINE FOR PxOOING SHOES.
—A hand pegging machine was exhi
bited iu Springfield recently, which,
it is stated, is really a valuable inven•
tion. The shoo to be pegged is lasted
and the-solo fastened onto the upper
leather in the same way as in pegging
by hand. The machine is self-feeding
and as it moves it cuts the peg from
a wooden "ribbon," punches the hole
and drives the peg to its place, all in
an instant, and closes its work perfect
ly. An experienced workman can
peg two rows on a No. 9 heavy bro
gan in ono minute. The machine
works equally well on heavy and fine
work, and good judges who saw its
operation pronounced it capable of
doing all it claims to do. The price is
within the means of country shoemak
ers, and will be a great saving of work
for them.

It is stated in the State Department that
General Banks and Secretary Seward bn
Tuesday last wrote to Hanin :Stoekei r the
Russian Minister, asking for an extension of
the time of the treaty with Russia for the
purchase of Alaska. They give for a reason
that, on account of the impeachment trial, it
*impossible to transact any business of groat
importance in the House, and - therefore an
extension of time is necessary for the fulfill
ment of the treaty. It is 'said the
,Russian
GOvernment is ready to grant the extension
of the time asked for.
TUE Model Farmin Chester county,
Will be' ready for operation as soon as
the weather permits. J.. Laey!Dar
lington has been chosen President, and
in a letter recently published, ho says
the farm is already stocked and equip
pod; the programme of experiments
for the current year laid out, ,and-with
the opening of the. spring, operations
will commence. The great objects of
this ExperiMental Farm aro well un
derstood. Itlany.of the unsettled ques
tions in practical agriculture will be
solved by accurate experiment, such as
the cultivation of cereal and root crops;
the growing of fruits; the best meth.
ods of feeding cattle; the comparative
values of manures, and the proper
mode of applyint , them; the most de
sirable of breed's of cattle, sheep and
swine; the latest improved implements,
&c. Managed, as we have every rea
son to believe this experimental farm
will be, it must become.a.point of im
mense interest- and irrifiortance to the
practical farmers throughout the State,
and for this reason it has strong claims
upon their cordial and active co-opera•
tion. We hope it may prove what
it deserves and promises to become a
—a decided success.
—Mr. Darlington is one,of the ablest
chemists and practiCal agriculturalists
in the country, under whose manage
ment this institution will unquestiona
bly flourish and' prove a vast benefit
to fitment. Indeed it, would be'well
for the interest at stake if all the farms
of this class were put under the control
of such men as J. Lacy Darlington.—

HOUSE ENTERED BY AN ARMY OR
RATS. —A Couple of nights ago a small
army of rats, seemingly met together
by concert; created uo small sensation
in:thelaouse of a poor woman on Eli
zabeth street, by a very singular pro
ceeding.. The woman was lying in
bed aslep with her two little ones,
when sho was aroused by the screams
of the children. On nivalting she was
horrified to find the bed fhirly covered
with rats, while•the floor of the room
was almost black with them. Her
children at her side were screaming
wildly, not alone through terror, but
through pain also,, for the vermin seiz•
ed them by the nose, ears and cheeks,
and were rapidly Settling themselves
down on every part of their facet. Of
course, with a mother's instinct, the
woman immediately rescued her chil
dren, while the'rats scampered off in
all directions and quickly disappeared.
The faces of the children were cut
and bleeding several places, and the
wounds of the nose of ono of them
were' considered so serious that Dr.
Lawler was called in, and in his hands
the little ones have been well oared
for, and are now doing well. It is sup-
posed that the invasion was caused by
the heavy rains that prevailed at the
time, which flooding the drains and
other placee in which the rats made
their homes, drove them_ out and lore.
ed them to seek food and shelter else
where. Had the children been alone
they would certainly have been eaten
alive, the rats were, around them in
hundreds, and would shortly have at
tacked their throats, when death would
have resulted in a very few minutes—
