On motion, E. B. Hawley was elected Representative Delegate to the State Convention, with power to substitute. C. M. Gem and 0. M. Hall were chosen Senatorial Conferees to confer with Brad ford and Wyoming. The Chairman was instructed to call a County Convention the first Tuesday in Sept. next. Adjourned to meet on the call of the Chairman. lEM=ll=C:=l arThe Bill providing for holding all Congressional elections on the same day passed the lower House of Congress. The Second Tuesday of November is the day fixed. Shot ld the bill become a law be fore the next. Congressional election, we shall have two elections this fall, one in October and the other in November. There are some good reasons for the pas sage of the bill. With the irregular times of the Congressional elections now exist ing, it is impossible that a full assembly of a new Congress canbe bad in ease of emergency, for several months of the year. Crawford County System What trials and tribulations the "Ring masters" are having, in order to putty up the worm-holes of their political corrup tion, and regain their lost phwer in the county. At first they call a Convention to adopt a new system of nominations, and clothe themselves in " lion's skins," hoping'to worm themselves into the con fidence of the nnsnspecting, and get their paws on their victims once more. But the nature of the animal could not be con cealed—his voice and long ears betrayed him—and only a few were deceived into the formal adoption of the Crawford coun ty system. And now, forsooth, the Coun ty Committee, met on Monday, 11th, and repealed the law, and "Resolved that each election district send two delegates as heretofore." Will this second " dispensa tion"-have any phrifying effect upon the albumen!. We would here ask pardon if we have again encroached upon the pri vate hours of grief of any of our cotempo raries, for we are still cognizant of the fact " that it is not our funeral ;" but "Truth is immortaband must flourish like a green bay tree." The McFnrland Trial This trial is still progressing with una bated interest, there being a large num ber of ladies interspersed among the audience. The evidence which has been intro duced thus far tends to show that McFar land has been under great distiess of mind, all of which had been brought on by the unhappy condition of affairs in his family relations, and tending to show that Richardson. with Mrs. St. Clair and Mrs. Calhoun as actromplices, had constantly and stealthily been poisoning the mind of Mrs. McFarland. by filling it with delu sive dreams of greatness as an actor upon the stage, and as an authoress ; and urg ing hbr on to that step from the path of honor and virtue, which finally resulted an such a tragical end. From the tone of the letters which they were constantly writing to her, it clearly appears that Mm McFarland herself was upbraided in her own conscience by the awful consequences of such a , course, and that it required the acceszory of such art ful women as Mrs. Calhoun and Mrs. St Clair to obtain her confidence and weave a web for her downfall, as none but re vengeful woman can. The following are the style of letters intercepted by McFar land : LETTER FRON MRS. CALIIOI. N Friday. Morning. Feb. 22 My Dear Child—What can I say to comfort thee. My heart bleeds over thee. I Would I could enfold thee forevermore.— My darling, were it not for Percy' should take you away and keep you as soon as I go home. Ido not suppose Mr. C. would . let me keep him. My precious, you must i make your decision. It is profanation for you to stay with that man. You shall not. 'o woman ought to put her womanhood to open shame, as you have been farted to do fur years. It is most cruel, most den il ish. Yon cannot work. You van not ad vance. You cannot make certain of fu ture for yourself and children while you stay. There is no justice, no reason. no hope in your doing it. You will leave him scathless. The world is more generous than we think about these things. Every thoughtful man or woman will justify you, and you can shake off your shackles and work with free hands It is dreadful to have you fight against such odds. I think von could live yourself, and Percy, for what you earn now. If you can only be free, so that you can improve, your salary can increase. It is wonderful that you have been able to do anything with your disabilities, and I do not think now you may. so much. 0, do leave him my darling. It is so wrong that you should stay with him.

Thine ever, 0 Ix.' iSZEZS The following are extracts from Mr& Calhoun's letter& Under date of Aug. 20, elle Faye : I hope your desire and purpose for the stage has not faded, nor been trampled on by the hard hoofs of necessity. Have yon had encouragement. I am very useless in that way, having Ti °direct influence in that way, but I'll try to obtain some. I know you would succeed, and I folly be lieie it to be your noblest and best work. Nothing so much as the stage needs good lives and good heads. I could help you in the direction of your wardrobe, but I feel that there is not much else I can do. Of course I know the life is by no means an easy one. I know that I counsel you to discouragement and toil and contact with ' coarse people and sights, and if I had half the confidence in my powers that I have in yours, I should have been on the stage months ago, and I know that I should not have failed. I think you have so many gifts ; your beautiful voice, your cling mg color, your varying soulful' face, your ' earnestness and freshness of nature, your love for your art and your love for your children ; you have also the highest in- Dear child, I wish I could make your path straight and smooth to highest suc cess, butmnly that success is highest to which we make our way with pain and toil. When you come back we will have long talks about this matter, and see if we cannot make our eager ambition give place to excellent doing. Under date of Ist, without month or year, Mrs. C. says : Do you know what is my panecea for all my woes ? Mr. Richardson. Nobody is half so kind or unselfish as he. And when I am " stuck," as the newspapers say, I must tell him, and his chmr.com mon sense and kind heart always finds a way to smooth paths again. Therefore, if he were here I should just touch him with a whole story and send him to see Stewart, whom he knows very well. Alas, he left for Kansas on Wednesday, and my right hand is wanting, so I must even du the next best thing. The Sun says :—General Robert E. Lee's journey to Florida. whither he goes to recruit his health, like the progress of a conqueror. At every railroad station he is welcomed by enthusiasticadmirera while in the large towns and cities the ovations rendered to him partake very much of the nature of an old fashioned rebel demon strations. The same paper calls this a " revival of secession sentiment." This cannot be, for the only secession party we now have in the country are the Radicals who stand, where the '..t,uth stood, and advocate the doctrine the South advocated, in 1861 when the war broke out. The South now accepts the situation and yields the con test, but the Radical party have taken up the "Lost Cause," and repudiate the Northern doctrine that the war was a "war for the Union." There never was a more noted instance on record, of parties chang ing sides, after a great war. Good Friday as a Monday. During the recent session of the Legis lature, an attempt was made to bare the Act of Assembly of 1869, making " Gopd Friday" a legal holiday, repealed. This attempt was voted down, therefore, the original act is still in force, to which we invite the attention of the public. It is las follows : SEc. 1. Be it enacted, &a, That from and after the rassage of this act, Good Friday, in each and every year, shall be deemed and proclaimed as a public holi day, and shall be duly observechis such; the payment of all notes, checks., bills of exchange or other instruments negotiable by the laws of this Commonwealth, and becoming payable on said Good Friday, shall be deemed to become due on the se cular day next preceding the aforemen tioned day, on which said secular day de mand of payment may be made; and in ease of nonpayment or dishonor of the same, protest may be made, and notice given in the same manner as if such notes, checks, bills of exchange or other instni raen ts fell dne on the day of such demand ; and the rights and liabilities of all parties concerned therein shall be the same as in other cases of like instruments legally proceeded with : Provided. That nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to render void any demand, notices or protest made or given as heretofore at the option of the holder, nor shall the same be so constructed as to vary the rights of the ; parties to any such instrutnents heretofore executed.

April 13.—The resolution for a joint special committee on Indian affairs was debated. Mr. Casserly moved to amend to require that atnajonty of the members chosen from each House shall be necessa ry to constitute a majority of the commit tee. This was agreed to, and the resolu tion adopted. The judiciary committee in the case of Hart against Gilbert, from Florida, re ported in favor of Gilbert. The Georgia bill came up, and Mr. No rton addressed the Senate against the right of Congress to assume jurisdiction over Georgia. He was followed by Mr. Wil liams in support or the amendment con tinning the Legislature until 1872. Mr. Edmunds argued in favor of the Bingham amendment. Mr. Trumbull remarked that the existence of the Legislature for one hour beyond the date named in the Constitution, would be purely by virtue of Congressional usurpation. Mr, Ferry opposed the continuance of the Legisla ture in power by means of an act of Con gress as destructive of all principles of republican government. After a tirade by Abbott, of North Carolina, the Senate went into executive session, and after ward adjeurned. The committee on elections reported a resolution that Francis E.

Without disposing of the par agraphs relating to hemp the committee ruse and the House adjourned. A Big Tannery. Elk county, Pennsylvania, has the I largest tannery in the world. It is known as the " Wilcox Tannery," and was built three years ago. The proprietors own 25,- 000 acres of land on the Clarion river, all heavily covered with hemlock. The bark mills of the concern are in a building 45 by 100 feet, two stories high, and capable of grinding seventy-five cords of bark per day. These mills are driven by an eighty horse power engine, and the only fuel is spent tan. The leaching house is 28 by 210 feet, and two stories high, it contains twelve leaches of immense size. The "sweat pit" is 70 by 90 feet, of stone. Seven hundred vats are now in use. The company makes nothing but sole leather. and of this the graduct is 120,000 aides per annum : thbugh when the tannery shall be completed 200,000 sides will be I turned out- The consumption of bark is 14,000 cords per year. The company has erected twenty-eight tenant houses, and employs from 150 to 300 men, at wages ranging from 820 to 870 per month. Ihe capital in vetted foots up at about 8500,- 000, and nearly 15,000,000 feet of hem lock lumber is manufactured every year at the company's milli. The bides used are imported (rum South America.

Ain-nig other "in cidentals" are the fleshings, and a hand red barrels of soap grease obtained from them. rThe Radicals of Indiana are in somethini; of a squabble. A prominent. one said the other day, that the Republi can party had " stall-fed the Dutch long enough,and now, as it bud niggersenongh to offset the German rote, the Dutch might go." To show that the party could get along without the aid of the Germans, the convention to nominate candidates for the various offices fur Marion county, did not put a German on the ticket, notwith standing several were urged for positions. The radicals have invisibly had enough of the "sweet German accent," as they long bavabad.a Aligtiat" tut. the •Arieh Irish brogue." This indicates that hereafter their ambition will be to secure the negro vote, and that they will now tnrn their backs on the element that has kept tnem in power for many years. They cannot bear an Irishman ors German, and now they are growing bold enough to admit it.

"PARIS HY SUNLIGHT AND GASLIGHT," 4 work descriptive of the Mysteries and Miseries, the Virtues, Vices, Splendors, and Crimes of the City of Paris.—By James D. McCabe. Jr. National Publish- ing Co., Philadelphia. We knowsof no book that we have rend with more pleasure and profit to ourselves than this. It abounds in sparkling de- 1 scriptions of the gay Metropolis by night and day, and the pictures of celebrites in that wicked but fascinating city are per- l feet. We wander amidst the time-hal lowed monuments of the past, are dazzled 1 bp the magnifience of the present, dine in 1 the glittering Cafes of the Palais Royal, 1 stroll with the merry crowds along the 1 Boulevards, and look on at the Jardin ' Mabille, where the original Can-ran is nightly danced to the most voluptuous ! strains. Our author. seems to have the nice discrimination of an artist, and paints' only those pictures for his renders which will be gladly seized upon and appreciated. There is, however, no point of any inter- 1 est that be slights, and one may rend this 1 book and easily imagine himself behold ing the very thing ho reads of. It is a for cible illustration of the old adage, " truth is stranger than fiction," for the author' has given us pictures which, though true to the life, are so strange and seemingly full of romance, that one ean hardly 14- lieve them real. But the book is far from being an exaggrretion. Our readers will recognize its fairness at once by the mod eration of its statements, and the absence of superlatives from its pages, and all who pursue it will agree with us that no more remarkable awl deeply interesting book has been offered to the public for many years, How can it be otherwise, when it is a faithful picture of the most fascina ting city in the world ? It is very absorb ing, anti we are sure no one who takes it up will put it down mireatl. It is illustra ted n ill, ISO ittgs, by the nest artists of France :—Oore, Therond and others—and the letter-press isperfect. The volume is sold only by subscription. THE LADY JURORS SAYING THEIR PRAYERS.-A little circumstance connec ted with the late term of Court comes to our knowledge, which we are inclined to make public, even at the risk of betraying confidence. Diming the long tsqlion4 Howie murder trial, t he jury (of whom one half were ladies), were not permitted to seperate and go to their homes, but were, under the charge of bailiffs (one lady and one gentleman), taken to the hotel for their meals, and lodging was provided fur them in the adjoining parlors, each tinder the charge of their bailiff. And here, ev ery morning during the trial; upon rising from their beds, these ladies kneeled to gether, and, like the child Solomon, asked wisdom of God to enable them to properly and wisely discharge their new and ardu ous duties. While their male associates were engaged in boisterous mirth and tri fling levity, they, with the full conscious ness of the responsibility resting upon them, were seeking aid at the throne of the All-wise. jr4r We always admired the following exquisite speech, delivered the other even ing, by His Excellency President Grant, at the Army Reunion in Philadelphia, for the two thousand and twenty-second time: "I am happy to meet" so many Af my old comrades of the Army of the Potomac. I would be glad if I could express my feelings on this occasion. I regret that cannot do so, and can only thank you for this kind reception." It is to be deeply deplored that the Pres ident labors under so great a disadvantage that he " cannot express his feelings." There are men who are not President who possess far greater advantages. For in stance, it was only the other day that a man in Cleveland "expressed a dog," and then didn't half try—to pay the expres.s charges on it—a fact, in consequence of which, Grant "expressed" a determina tion not to accept the gift. We would suggest the employmen t of an express com pany the next time Ulysses wants to deliv er his feelings to his friends. True, ex press companies are common carriers, but none the less respectable because the law makes them 80. There should be some sure, safe and capacious channel for the transmission of Presidential wisdom and gratitude, to say nothing of eloquence. —A mail package bus been received ut the General P. 0., in Washington, which was mailed Angust 7, 1849„from Germa ny, and directed to the Patent Office, hav ing been twenty-one years on its passage.

The city is full of mftsmen, much of the lumber being disposed of here, and the hardy sons of the forest spend a great deal of their hard earned money here, among the places of amusement, anti too often among the hundreds of liquor saloons which are a curse to our city. The negro element appears to be coming out in great force since the Fifteenth Amendment passed, and to-day an Americanized African in this city has his own way, and can do as he or' she pleases in cars,places of public amusement, or on the street. There is to be a grand celebra- ' lion hem on the 26th of the present month, in i which the entire darkey population of Allegheny county, "horse, foot and dragoons," military and , civil, will appear. Already they are making ar rangements to vote and to choose their officers I for the coming primary elections. The bead I waiter at the Monongahela House, our fashion- ; able hotel, has already been sought out as the ' colored candidate for mayor, and signified his assent In one of the radical papers of the city, this morning. As Allegheny county has between I 6,000 and 7,000 amendments, no doubt but that there will be lively times the coming spring. Travel is increasing rapidly westward and a , large number of Pennsylvanians about this re gion are emigrating to lowa, Kansas, Minnesota ' and other western points. Rents are so high, i the cost of living so very expensive, and wages , so low, that it is almost impossible for a man of moderate means to live here, hence good Indus- l i trious citizens are actually driven away by force of circumstances. A reaction must sooner or I later take place as this state of things cannot last long. To day, Pittsburgh is the dearest 1 place in the Union to reside in, especially as far as the common necessaries of life are concerned.' Our Allegheny city Park, which when com pleted will be one of the finest In the Union, is' being rapidly beautified. Boulevards, serpen tine walks, rustic arbors, fountains and onto ' mental bridges, crossing the railroad tracks are being erected, and it is thought that this expense alone will consume over $300,000. The lake is I to be lengthened, widened and deepened, boat houses are to be erected, and a number of im ported swans am to be Introduced. From 70 to 178 acres will be improved this summer, and no doubt that the Park when completed wilily one of the most beautiful in the Union. The Alle gheny county Soldiers Monument will be loca ted on Seminary Rill, over-looking the Park, which will add much to its beauty. The only drawback at present is the unsightly looking Penitentiary which still stands in the centre of the Park, but which it is thought will be re- 1 moved in process of' time by legislation. I This being Passion Week in the Catholic and I Episcopal churches, special services are being I held relative to the occasion of a most interest ! ing and impressive character. Friday which is Good Friday will close the Lenten services, and t I will be observed in this city by the banks, and the business offices, all of which Will be closed. The Public Schools however passed a vote last night not to notice the day In any form, but to centime their sessions as usual. On Saturday night Mr. Canning, manager of the Opera Home, gives a rand masked ball at his place of entertainment. W. a R. Publlshing of Incomes.

A San Francisco despatch .says Various county clerks refuse to muster the colored men as voters until the opin ion of the Attorney-General of the State is received. Over fifty Democratic mem bers have addressed a letter to the elerk of Sacramento congratulating him on his refusal to enroll the colored people as vu, tern under the Meeuth amendment, sta ting that they will support him with all the moral, and if needed all the physical, force God had given them e Attorney General of California has given'an opinion that until the State law is changed, or Congress adopts some leg islation in the matter, it will be the duty of county clerks to refuse the registration of colored men. 07 - Senator Thurman is commended by many leading papers for his resistance to heavy land grants to railroad corporations. The Philadelphia Ledger remarks, there is hope that the persistent opposition of Judge Thurman in the United States Senate, to the land grant subsidy system, may eventually so awaken the attention of the whole country to the nefarious rob beries carried on through that system, as to save a large slice of our immense do main for the nest generation ; but those who feel the burden of taxation, and look to the credit of the nation, must rouse early. —Mark Twain thinks that soda water is not reliable for , a steady drink.
