MORNING POST JOB OFFICE. ' »- A Nuisance. —A good portion of the telegraph news, to be found in our paper this morning, came night before laßt, bnt it was allowed to lay In the office as the agent of the press was not to be found. We are informed this thing frequently happens. Will Mr. Snowden remedy the matter in future, or explain why it cannot be remedied ? the news. The Democrats beat the Know Nothlogs in Hanford, Conn., by a large majority. A resolution has passed the Senate, in Massa chusetts, declaring that no foreigner is eligible to office. The lowa election, which has just taken place, hca resulted in the eleotion of all the Whig can didates for State officers, by larger msjoritios ban in August last. In Wisconsin also, Judge Cola, the Whig candidate, has been eleoted to the Supreme Bench. In the House of Representatives oa Monday evening, a supplement to the Ten Hoar Law was passed by a vote of 58 yeas to 15 nays. The first section provides that, hereafter, no male or female operative under 21 years of age shall, under any contract, be employed in any cotton, woolen, silk, flax, bagging, or paper manufac tory, for a longer period than ten hoars in any one day, or sixty hours in ono week. An amend ment, permitting the parents of children under 21 years of age to make contracts for them to Work more hours than ten. was debated and lost. NEATNESS. Hardly anything can be named that contrib utes more to human happiness than neatness. It is one of the distinguishing characteristics of civilization; and is an infallible Bign of refine ment, industry, good taste, and good sense. It is indeed a moral virtue, founded in a proper regard for public opinion, and a desire to make those around ns pleased and happy. No mao ever entered the dwelling of the neat and tidy housewife without experiencing an emotion ol ample that is most salutary in its influence. Bat it is not the housewife alone who i 9 called on to practice this virtno of neatness. The bus b&ndman can do as much as the wife to make h e residence a happy home for bis children, and & pleasure and a pattern for his neighborhood. Sv6*y man should have his hoaso painted; bis door yard and fences in good order; trees and flowers planted about his dwelling; bis lanes shaded by trees; his fields free from bushes; his outhoases neat and tidy; and everything in its place. It would cost very little to do all this. A few leisaro hours of oach week for a few years would plant tho shade trees, the fruit trees, the flower beds; paint the house, build the fences, and adorn and make happy every homestead in the land. However small the farm; however humble the cottage, flowers, frait and ehado trees, tidy fences, and a general air of neatness may soon be thrown aroond it. The labor and expense will be trifliog, the improvement gradua* and the result most pleasing. Tho moral effects of snob cheap improvements are of great value. The wife and children are more contented and happy; their tastes are refined and cultivated ; and their hearts will respond to the song, “ There is no plaoo like home.” Iq nine caseß out of ten, the children reared in snob a home will bo more intelligent, their manners more pleasing, and their characters more moral and virtuous than the children of tho slovenly. As they grow np and go forth into the world, wherever they may wander, thoy will never forget such a home ; and seldom fail to imitate suoh an example of their parents. A pleasant and happy childhood generally produces a virtuous and useful man hood. Every emotion of pleasure improves the heart; and how many such emotions must the child experience who is reared amid tho flowers, the fruit and shade trees, and the decorations of a neat and tastefat homo. Bat the moral effects of neatness are not its only benefit. It contributes more to health than all the drugs and medioines in the world. An nndrained swamp or filthy stables or barn yards In the vicinity of dwellings engender malaria that cannot fail to Injure health, however im perceptible it may bo for a time*. Unwholesome food, or food oarolessly oooked, injures health. The floors of bed rooms covered with dosty car pets injure health. Frequent bathing, oloan clothes and clean beds are as essential to health a 3 pure air; and will preserve health better than all doctors’ prescriptions. It is well known that the oountry is much more healthy than the oity. No amount of labor or expense can se cure as neat a residence in the oity as in the country. The smoky atmosphere, the filth about warehouses, slaughter-houses, work-shops, vaults, and numerous other souroes of filth can not fail to poison the atmosphere, and injure health ; and henoe it is that we are told, con stant aooessions of bone and sinew, and healthy people from the oountry are needed to keep np the population of oities. Add to these usual onsea of impure air in cities what Pittsburgh can usually boast of:—muddy or dußty streetp, with hogs rooting in the gutters ; a deoßo cloud af smoke pervading the atmosphere ; numerous pools of water on vacant lots; and a tunnel un der onr hills filled with tho accumulated filth of tweity years, and the only wonder is that our city is not oftener visited by the pestilence, cholera and general disease. While we wonld recommend individual neat nets for ite valuable tffeots upon health, taste, and the moral nature, it is equally a dnty of the public authorities of cities. It is a duty ■ally neglected in our oily, and undoubtedly that neglect is iojurious to the general health, and pnblio prosperity. WSf Attention is invited to the advertisement of Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial. This cor dial has-beoorne well known and very popular throughout the whole oountry. • ' •_> ■■+> • • . ■ • , fi. i <■.' ~ -■ ' ■ .. *•*! V ! ' •, ‘ ’ 1 >. THE LIBEL SUIT OF THE LEDGER* The proprietors of the Philadelphia Ledger were sued for a libel. It was tried lately, and a verdict of rendered against them. The object of the jury in giving such a verdict seems to have been-to prevent the press from discus" sing the causoß of railroad accidents. .The only object any newspaper can have in charging blame on the employees of railroad companies is to promote the safety of the traveling public by urging mere care and caution upon those em ployed. The Ledger, in its article for which it was sued, evidently had no other deeiga. It blamed the conduct of a man employed by a company, and stated facts to show that bis fault • paused a serious accident. The Company, it seems, discharged tho man from its service im mediately, which would be some evidence of his fault. Yet ho sues the Ledger , and a jury gives him $2,000. V APRIL 12 So far as we have learned the facts of the oase, tho verdict seems to us a perfect absurdity. The superintendent made a report, after an in vestigation ; and from that report the ledger derived tho facts it stated. If is a libel, the press should say no more about railroad ao cidents, if deaths by such accidents become daily occurrences. The Election in Kansas—" Pipe Lavi.no” on a Large Scale. —From all tho acoouuts re ceived It appears the election of a pro slavery legislature in Kauaas territory was only carried through fraud and violeDoe. Governor Reeder gave timely notice that none would be entitled to vote but those who come into the territory with the intention of making it a permanent re : sidence ; yet, notwithstanding this, thousands ot Missourians marched into the election precincts, deposited their votes, and then marched back agaiD. This popular sovereignty “over the left,” i 9 not relished by the citizens of Kansas, who are said to be largely opposed to the institution ol slavery ; and the Governor has declared he wii not grant certificates of election to persom chosen in suoh flagrant violation of law. IV. hope he will remaiD firm in his determination , for “popular sovereignty ” woald indeed bo s mockery, if bands of ruffians cau tbu3 defeat the will of tho resident voters. But howevir much tho evil is to be deplored at present, do ap prehension need be felt for the future. All ac counts—evon thoeo from a free soil source— represent that by next year a sufficiently larg* number of emigrants will have arrived from thi Northern States to prevent the re-enactment ot snch scenes. Kansas will be a free State. Mark the prediction. Theological Students — ln the several Theo logical Seminaries connected with the Old School Presbyterian Church there are two hundred ai d eighty-three theological students at present, divided among the establishments thus : at Al legheny, Pa, 61; at Princeton, N. J., 115; at Union Seminary, Va., 29; at Columbia, S.C., 32; at New Albauy, Ind.. 19; at D inville, Ky., 87. Besides these there are kuown to bo at leaßt four others studying theology uuder private in struction, and probably from twelve to fifteen more, thus making the total about three hun dred, bo that the annual supply of ministers in that church for tho next tbrpo years will be about one hundred. 'This the Home and Fotfiyn Record thinks insufficient, as there is an annual increase of ninety in toe number of churches, all to be supplied with ministers, in addition to the filling of abbut forty vacancies occasioned by death every year. g>gy» An exchange paper from Alton, Illinois, says that in that part of Illinois, and in many of the neighboring counties of Missouri, there are not potatoes enough left for need for this year’s planting ; nor have tbo farmers the means to buy potatoes enough for seed, at the high price they bear. A greui.y reduced potato crop throughout a largo portion of the West is predicted as a consequence. This should induce farmers who have seed, or can purchase it, to plant wide potato fields. fogr By an advertisement in anoticr column, it will be seen that the CaoncHsvilio Railroad Company are prepared to put under contract all that part of their road between Turtle Creek and West Newton. Contractors have a chance of employment there. We would call attention to the card of William lluuter, flour dealer. He U extensively engaged in the business, and eclls at wholesale and retail. Wo have tried his flour several times, and always get a good article. Plated Veal — " Plated veal” was described by George Pessinger, witness iu the case of John Jenkins, hauled up at New Vork, and fined ten dollars for selling the same. Mr. Pcsaia ger’s testimony is curious ami interesting: “ I mean by plated veal putting a pieco of fat pork where the kidney ought to be ; if the whole of these nine quarters were tried out, after tak ing away tbo pork, enough fat could not bo got out to groase a jack knife; butchers cal this ‘bob veal.’ I have been a butcher for forty years ; I consider this meat very unwholesome; it was very youog, and had been starved either hero or while it was being brought hero. Pcs singer asked accused if bo knew whether tbo moat in question was veol or dog meat. Jen kins did not know, but supposed it must be veal, as he bought it for that. Pessinger—This comes from licensing men to sell meat that know noth ing about it. I can produce a woman in Wil Hamsburgh that cooked steaks cut from tho thigh of tho pirate Gibbs, who was hung, and people ate and pronounced tbem'thc finest they over ate, being under the impression that it was tho flesh of an animal. Haebisddg, April 9 — The bill providing for the Bale of the main lmo of the public .works has oooupied the attention of the House of Represen tatives, in committee of the whole, for several days. The bill was put through oommittco this morning. It will be reprinted and come np on second reading for consideration. The bill which passed committee is an entire substitute for the bill originally introduced. Tbo minimum of seven millions was increased to eight miliions by the informal vote taken in committee. Whether this will be the minimum finally fixed by the seven millions, cannot bo certainly determined antil ft vote is taken on second reading, wh<*n the yeas and nays can be called. The bill in its present form contains a sliding scale of prices and credits, so oonstructeu that the purchaser at tbo highest price would have to pay down the smallest sum and receive the moot extended oredit. If the works arc said for $8,600,000, then the purchaser thall pay twenty per centum of the purchase money withia ninety days, and the remainder in ten equal aunual instalments, with interest. If they are sold for nine millions, the purchaser shall not bo required to make any payments, except interest, until aftor the expi ration of five years, and then pay in ten equal annual instalments. If they are sold for Dine and a half millions the time for payment is ex tended to ten years, after which to be paid in ten equal annual instalments. If sold for ton mil lions, the time is extended to fifteen yodrs ; and if for ten and a half millions, to twenty years, upon the conditions above specified. The pur chase money is to be secured to tbe State by the bonds of the purchasers, which shall be a lien upon the works. By a telegraphic despatch from Pittsburgh, we learn that our townsman, Mr. Jno. S. Riddle, died in that city yesterday, at eleven o’clock. Though the long and severe illness of Mr. Rid dle had prepared his friends for this melancholy event, its announcement has caused, among nu merous circles in this community, sinoere sor row. He was a man of superior information on roost subjects of public oonoern, and so long as his health permitted, he took a large interest in public affairs; and in social life he was greatly esteemed for his amiable disposition and his singularly winning manners. Though a martyr to disease in some of its most oruel forms, Mr. Riddle maintained a surprising equanimity of temper, and his genial and instructive conversa tion, and the comely grace of his deportment, will long be gratefally remembered by those who enjoyed the pleasure of his intercourse. :-v- v i iis"''- .•**’ _ v* **■■*&'"**' <■> i.

The selection cf Commodore M’Cauley to command the Gulf Squadron is sufficient, and the rumors' of an increase r of the Equadron, which I gave you some time since, arc all confirmed. As stroog a naval force as can be spared for tho I purpose has been ordered to cruize in the neigh- ■ borbood of Cuba, in tho track of our steamers, and future insults to our flag seem likely to be promptly redressed. Captain General Concha is much frightened about tho El Dorado affair, and makes all the apologies in his power. The President has taken very decided ground in that matter, and assumed the reBponeibiU.y of carry ing out his own views of the measures proper to be adopted:. These, you may rest assured, ore vigorous and extreme. It seems that not only the El Dorado and the Daniel Webster have beon brought to on the high seas by Spanish oruisors within tho last month or two, but tho Illinois, also, was served the same way not long ago. She did not report the fact, however.—each out rages, without atonement, having become too common to be deemed, in tho estimation of her officers, worthy of notice. There will be trouble with Spain soon, unlese, with the usual pusillanimity of insolent imbecili ty, she tumblesjto her knees at the first exhibi tion of spirit part of the Uuited States. Prompt atonement will doubtless now bo rai:d? for tho outrages upon the El Dorado and lbs Daniel Webster. But they will be repeated, doubtless, in tho cases of other vessels. Tbo Spanish Naval Commanders, rejoicing in this op portunity of indulging their hatred of los Yan kees, will doubtless insist that they cannot per form their duty without firing a shot at our passing ete 'Biers, and pursuing tbtir insultiug search. They will probably, therefore, quite liuregard Concha’s frightened exhortations to greater propriety ; but tho next time a Spanish jruiser brings to one of our mail steamers on he high sea?, it is intended that a United States *ar vessel shall be near enough to participate in he entertainment by pouring tier broadside into ho Spaniard forthwith. Mark the truih of this The instructions to McCauley will confirm what t say wheuever theyaro madq public. Such a iemonstr3tion will make an issue not to be evad ed ; and wc shall theu learn the true character it the secret protectorate of Spain maintained »y England and Franco. What a capitat priva ecr fleet our Cuhan Filibusters would fit out in he event r.f a war with Spain arising oat cf these events. What is a Ton Weight T—The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recently decided, that accord ing to the laws of this State a ton weight con sisted of 2000 Itn., and that a greater number of pounds could not be legally exacted in purchas ing a toD of coal, notwithstanding the custom of giving 2,2*40 in one part of the Stale, and 2,26 S in another. The United States D.strict Court yesterday decided in a suit in admiralty, that the legal weight of a ton of coal is 2 240 lbs , and that tbo coal dealers have no more right to give less, than grocers would have to give lees than sixteen ounces to the pound. As tho Con stitution cf the United States gives to Congress the power to "fix tho standard cf weights aod measures,” we suppose that the act of 1834, passed by the Assembly in Pennsylvania, must yield to the higher authority, and all the laws of this State preecril ing the size of the yard mea sure, the cubic contents of a bushel and of a g-tllon, are null and void where they differ from the United States standard.

IT will repla.'c w-inkness with ?treogth. Incapacity with efßcicn.-y, irregularity with uniform and natural ac tivity, and thit m>t only without hazard of reaction,but with a happy «-fT*.rt on the general organization. Bear in mind Uiat all maladies wherever they b«gin, finish with the nervous system, and that the paralization cf the nerve of motion and rensation U physical death. Bear In mine*, a so, that for every kiud of nervous disease, the Elixir Ccr dial is the only reliable preparative known. CURE OF NLRVOUS DISEASES. No language cau convey an adequate ido.v of the imme diate and almost mirccuious change which it occasions in the disvoseJ, de-bHiiated and shattered nervous ?ystetn, whether broken down by excess, weak by nature, or Impair ed by riAaew—the unstrung and relaxed organization lc at once braced, revivified and built up. The mental and physical symptoms of nervous disease vanish together ui* der Its influence. Nor is the effect temporary; for the Coj dial properties of the medicine reach the constitution Itself, and restore it to its normal condition. LOSS OF MEMORY, Confusion, giddiness, rush of M od to the head, melan choly, debility; hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of eel. d-fltruet'on—fear of insanity, dyspepsia, general prostra tion, Irritability, nervousness, inability to sleep, diseases, ncident to males decay of the propagating functions, hyrh ttria, monomanlr, vague terrors, palpitation of the heat, lmpotencv, constipation, etc-, from whatevercansea arlsn g it Is, if there bo any reliance to bo plared on human let i. mony, absolutely lofalliblo. A GREAT MEDICINE FOR FEMALES. The unparalleled effects of this great restorative in all complaints Incident to females, mark a new era in the annals of medicine. Thousands of stimulants have been invented— thousands of invigoranta concocted —all purporting to be specified in the various diseases and derangements to which the delicate formation of woman render her liable. EVERY WOMAN OF BENBE, Who suffers from weakness, derangement, nervousness, tremors, pains in the back, or any other disorder, whether pecnll&r to her sex, or common to both soxoa—to give the invigorating Cordial a trial. MARRIED PERSONS, Or others, will find this Cordial after they have used a boi tie or two, a thorough regenerator of the fyetem. In all directions are to be fbund the happy parents of healthy off spring, who wonld not have been so but for this extraordi nary preparation. And It Is equally potent for the many dit eases for which it is recommended. Thousands of younp men have been restored by using it, and not In a single in stance has It failed to benefit them. PERBONB OF PALE COMPLEXION. or consumptive habits, are restored by the use of a bottle cr two to bloom and vigor, changing the skin from a pale, yel low, sickly color, to a beautiful florid complexion. These are some of the sad and melancholy effects produ ced by early habits of youth, vi*: weakness of the back and limbs, pains in the head, dimness of sight, losa’of mns eular power, palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervous irritability, derangement of the digestive function®, general debility, symptoms of consumptions, etc. Mentally, the fearful effects on the mind are much to be dreaded. Loss of memory, confusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil forebodings, aversion to society, self-distrust love of solitude, timidity, etc, are aomeol the evils produ ced. - All thus afflicted BEFORE CONTEMPLATING MARRIAGE should reflect that a sound mind and body are the most ne cessary requisites to promote connubial happiness; indeed, without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage—the prospect hourly darkens the view; the mind becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with the melancholy reflection that the happiness of another be comes blighted with your own. Dr. Morse's Invigorating Oordial has been counterfeited by some unprincipled persons. In future, all the genuine Cordial will have the proprie tor’s facsimile pasted over the cork of each bottle, and the following words blown in the glass: Dr, Hona’i Invigorating Cordial, O. H.
