Mu. BEIZION'r and his friends decline to

is prompted by a - desire to be acquainted
with the Republican nominations and plat

early ss the 21st or 22nd of May, it is fair. to
believe that Mr. PENDLETON'S Democratic

A RAIL ItOAIS' SOUTHWARD.
The western" shiPe. of thaAPPalachian Vat
, .
tern of mountains is ~remarkably: rich in
minerals; mid is divided. into several paral
lel valleys. Coal, ,irou, lime , and fire clay
constitute its nest iiiiiibitint iiineial,pio
ductions, while the soil of its beautiful and
salubriOui valleys is excellent.
Through the most extensive of those val
leys which run parallel .with the main moun
tain chain, extending ' , fro& , the .- neighl,icir
hood of Lake Erie in asouthward treetiOn
far into Virginia, the Allegheny land Mon
ongahela both have their courses. Coming
from nearly. ,opposite , , directions7—tha ' .9 1 e
from the north, the other from :the_ south—
they meet at Pittsburgh, form 'the Ohio, and
thence, having broken through the swell of
land which runs froni near the sonthern
shore of. Lidte . Erie along the ,ty t estern. ; bar-
der of Pennsylvania, And through West
Virginia, where it 1 divides the country
drained by the Monongahela from , that
-which sheds its water into the Kanawha,
, ,
their united watere, no longer obstructed by
the successive ranges of the mountain
system, puriiiii their way q.aitly.and ginily
to the center of the Mississippi hasin.
With the Allegheny portion of this great
Halley,, Pittsburgh has now excellent rall
road corafrinalcittiori; but '..with?Aliat to:the
south, which is drained , by the Mononga
hela, there is no communication over which
the_products of the wintry can lie carricd
except to the limited extent reached by the
Monongahela Slackwater, the groat success
of which attests the native wealth of the
valley. 'The Pennsylvania Railreid Titans
in connection with the heart of the moun
Min system directly east of us, and soon the
Connellsville, road. .will open .up Another
avenue in the same direetion; but more to'
the south; neither of these roads, hoWet - er,
gives us access to. the southern end—per-
Imps the best end—of our own great valley,
which reaches away - down to thh_borders
of North Caxolina and into Tennessee.
—, Pittsburgh-is- the only great-city-which.
yossesses a, direct natal:Biz:into for a railroad
into that region ; and to no city would a
connection with it be of such vlue; for it,
is a region of iron and coal mines' and of - vast
.and almost unbroken forests. Moreover its
numerous fertile valleys, with their more
southern clitnate,nvould add greatly to-our
market supplie.S, and l give us many vegeta
bles earlier than we can now - obtain them.
Two railroads now cross the regibn of
which we are speaking from east to west—
the Baltimore and Ohio road, which would
be crossed by this proposed line;at Gmftpn,
in West Virginia ? and the Virginia and
Tennessee Milked at liewbern, a feri miles
north of the line, between. ,'
,Virginia , and
North Carolina. This Newhern is some
times confounded. with Newborn, North
Carolina, bat, it,)? more than three Imi
dred miles 'nd'rth west of that Neivbern;., yet
a road to Newlierri,-Tirginia, would give us
a continuous communication by rail with
the other Newberri, as well as, with all the
towns on the Atlantic slope south of, the
P otomac, and alio with the entire 'waken of
railways of the south-west southof the Cum
berland. -;
, . .
A road`up the Monongahela to its head in
West Virginia, thence tO, the Greenbrier,
which rises in the same valley. and flows in
the opposite direction to the Kanawha, sold
thence up the ILanawha,„tobjetylmina would
put this city in direct communication with
nearly all the South on both aide; of the
mountains. Newbem is three and 'a half
degrees south and half a degree west of
Pittsburgh, . and on no part of the line is
there any large deflection from a north and
south course. iNo, mountain range has to
be crossed
,by _elimbing; but the Kedia,wha,
above the Mouth' of the Greenbrier t cuts
through one. , That :ls' all,' , The 'distance
from Pittsbnrghto Newbemhy . this route
would probably lie frorn two hundred and
fifty to
, three hundred miles, a, little leas
,than one-third of which would be within
our own State. The line would ; pass I
through the entire length of West Virginia,
from north to south, not far from the east- 1
ern border, and about twenty-five miles 1 1
into Old „Virginia, in the upper end of the
valley of the Kanawha. Between the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad and • Newbern . the
country is destitute of any communication
with the outer world other than common
roads; consequently it is sparsely populated,
poor and but little improved. Abounding
in iron ore, coal and: 'timber, there are:; no
furnaces; and even agriculture. is proseented
under great'disadvantages. - -
With a railroad built on this route, and a
slackwa.ter navigation on the Kanawha, to
which that river is admirably adapted, at
least as far up' as the mouth of the Green
brier, where it would Meet this proposed
road, nearly the, whole. of West. Virginia
~
could be .made to prosper greatly and pour '
its immense, native wealth into Pittsbugh as
Its natural emporium. , .
~. , . ~.
But to make a Blocky - voter onthe Kanawha
steadily available will require a, like im
provement on the Ohio. Meanwhile the
proposed ridlroad, if Made, will have
awakened a new. life in the upper part of
the valley of that river, and prepared a trade
for the slackater that will make the enter:
a great success. The two prejects.are by no
means antagonistic.:

question of Equality of Race ap
pears once more in the church. The de
libeiinions of the General° Conference
Chicago on Saturday were: igorously dis
turbed by it; in the shape of a minion to ad
mit'pertain Southern Mission Catnierences,
composed wholly of colored ministers and
people, to an equality of representation. As
usual, the question was fairly met, by Some
of the delegates participating in the very
earnest discussion which the motion gave
rise to, and who advocated the passage upon
the substantial,merits, which they claimed
•for it. Others, 110Wever, evinced the dispo
sition often exhibited in deliberative'bodles
on this question, to 'give it the go-by as lon{
as possible, evading direct action bY --- Soini
adroit side-issue. The substantial point in.
volved was really, , this:' Shall Equality of
Race be recognized in the MethodistiOliurcli
and discipline ? The side-issue,
upon which several inffilentlid delegates
proposed to send it off, was by way of in
objection that no "Mission" Conferences,
white or colored, were entitled to represen
tation. There are discrepancies between
the reports of the discussion as printed in the
Chicago papers of Saturday evening and as
telegraphed to the press, each apparently
supplying the deficiencies of the other. Jus
tice to a prominent delegate from this city,
who insisted upon the validity of tlie`umis
aloniiii" Objection, requires it to be stated
that he is officially reported not only as in
favor of admitting those Conferences cs soon
as it could be done properly, but as hoping
that "they would be admitted before the
Conference finally' , adjourned." Those del
-eitttes who felt prepared to meet at once
, tthe grave - questions involved in the mat
ter," were unable to get a direct vote ; and
upon the suggestion of Dr. DURBIN, of
Plilladelphin, the whole question Araff
011 the table to await the oft:Idol report
from the Bishops upon organization gener
ally. Undoubtedly, it will be again under
consideration before the Conference ad
journs, and the spirit already evinced by in
fluential delegates renders a square and tri
umphant vote upon the principles at issue
not unlikely. -
The efforts of the friends of Eigldity in
political rights will be entirely unavailing
so long as , any,exclnsions, fir caste or, c 0147,
shall berecognized by the leading religions
denominations. Until we see the end of
this, it is' of very, little use to agitate for
Equal fitiffrage, or to combat the social
prejudices of the people,, or, to hope for the
slightest practical recognition of anyrights

its influence upon the thought, the politics,
the statesmanship • of the- nation,—which
controls the cultivated classes by the learn

guished divines, which, combining the
Bible, the rifle and the axe, has carried the
ministrations of the Gospel along the most
advanced:frontier of civilization, illustrating_
Christian duty in the midst of pioneer hard- .
ships and perils, and setting up the standard
IA the_Cross in wilderness and mountain
pass where no other Protestant missionary
oteircuit-rider had ventured in the lino of
Christian duty—a denomination, which is
adorned througiunit the world by every
Christian grace and yihich, by its' faithful
zeal in ministration and by the simple purl-

Methodist Episcopal Church hesitates to de
clare for Equality, as a matter of simple and
Christian justice, just so long will thnhope
of its recognition by politicians or legislators
prove vain and delusive.
Is it any cause for wonder that the poor,
ignorant world's people, the rank and file
of political parties, the masses of the Dem—

their way clearly upon a question which

THE CHABTIERS ' VALLEY RAIL-
We mentioned, one day last week, that a
laeeting of citizens of .the Chartiers. valley
had been held, at whicii a Committee was
appointed to confer with the. Pennsylvania
Railroad Company as to the probability of
the' construction of the Chartiera Valley
Railiiay. In response to the inquiries of,
that Committee, answer was promptly sent
that if the inhabitants along the line would
subscribe to the stock of the new company,
an adequate sum sufficient to finish pay
ing for the right of way and to ccan - pleie
the road-bed, the superstructure should be
put on with as little delay as practicable.
\Wording to - the, report of the. Engineer,
made, daring the last summer, an ex-'
'nation into the extent and condition -Of
a work, the surct . Of about $600,000 will be
4. - tulred to finish the road-bed arid liquidate
laims for way. . This is a very considera
le sum for 'the property holders in 'the
erritory between Mansfield and, Washing
n to raise; but the investment would prove
unerative, both as yielding fair divi
ends and as largely enhancing the value of
cal estate along, the whole hue. In discuss
ng the general subject of railroad building
ve have frequently heretofore urged that
only such lines ought to be constructed as
will pay, and that In aid of such enterprises
property holders and business men who are
to be specially benefited, ought to .do their
full share Naule invoking help from abroad.
The Charliers valley enterprise falls clearly
into this category. The offer made to the
Committee seems to be reasonable, and if it
shall be accepted by the inhabitants the en
terprise will be put into successful-operation
in the course of a year and a half. - - -
In view of the fresh local interest mani
fested , in the resumption of the work, a
meeting of the'present owners of the fran
chises of the Chartiers Valley Itailway has
been called, to be held at Philadelphia on
the 12th inst. It is to be presumed that, all
propositions submitted •by , the, citizens,
through their Committee, will be fully and
candidly considered on that occasion. If it
shall be found impracticable for the citizens
to raise the, sum of money requisite to meet
the offer already nuule, it . is,earuestly to be
toPea 'some other of Cooperation
may 'be suggested, satisfactory to all parties
concerned, so as to lay a bails for the ob
tainment of the money essential to finish the
line and put, it in operation at the earliest
possible date.

Mr. Fowler unless under the shadow of

According to the accounts received at

ted theniselves under' the new regime. It
may be put down as a settled fact that Ar
kansas, South Carolina,.,North Carolina,
Georgia and Louisiana, will be, admitted
into the Union" as they call it,. in time to
participate in the Presidential election. It
is certain as to them, and probable as to all
the remaining States of the South, except,
perhaps, Texas. It becomes then,-'a very
important question for the 'Democratic par
ty_to determine what it will do in the premi
ses—whether to accept theiiituation-' recog
nize the validity of the 'State governments
in the South, and canvass for their electoral
votes; or, proceeding iiponthe idea*hatthese
governments are illegal,' , decline to run
any electoral ticket in them. The latter
it is needlls to say, would be a. very fool
ish, policy—yet it. wilt 'be strongly recom
mended by the impracticables who so often
control the councils of the Democratic par
ty.. The election returns show that in
some of these States-the constitution was,
adopted by a Vety -sinall ilajoiityj It was
no doubt fairly beaten in. Arkansas and
Georgia, yet' there is a pretenselhat it was
adopted in each by a small majority. Well,
in a. Presidential contest the Democrats will
get every vote that was cast against flip
constitution, to-begin with: If they can, in
addition to this, divide - thts, negro vote—
which they certainly, can—they will carry
a, fair share of the Southern -States., Those
who think that because the negroes voted
for the-constitution they wilt, therefore, ad
here to the Radical party, make the mistake
of confounding two very different questions.
The adoption' of the constitution
involved the right of the negroes to vote,
and it' would be very strange indeed
if they did not favor their sown • enfran
chisement, How they ,will vote after this
enfranchisement, is another question entire
ly, aid•one to be determined by the same
influences that determine the votes of ig
norant and uneducated men everywhere.
The whole history of reconstruction shows
that the negro vote will not depend upon
the merits of candidates or - principles, but
upon the success of party leaders in the use
of proper means to get it. What other
secret explains the nomination of General
Scott, an utter stranger, but the head of the
Freedmen's Bureau—as Governor of South
Carolina. Not the election, but the nomi
notion I refer to. Scott had just come into
the State as the head of the. Bureau. Yet
he was able to get the nomination and sim
ply because he had itin his poirer ? to reward
those who gave it to him. Sp of officers in
other States—all goes to show that thenegro
vote is a marketable commodity. As such
it has been successfully treated by the Radi
cals; as such it will be treated by the Demo
crats if they are wise.—Jack. to Cineintutti

The Irish Church .Question. '
The Cunard steamer lava, which left
Liverpool on, the 18th instant and Queens
town on the 19th, arrived at New York the
28th.
Much anxiety is felt in England concern
ing the course of Parliament on the ques
tion of the Irish Church. , The papers teem
'with notices of meetings to be held. The
London Times treats the result of the tattle
as a foregone conclusion, and is content to
'offer advice to Mr. Gladstone as to the
course he shall take as a victorious general.
Taking it for granted that the resolutions .
will be carried. the Times suggests to Mr.
Gladstone that he shall push his conquest no
further at present than the mere introduc
tion of a bill. Such a bill would, it is said,
require an entire session for its proper di
gestion and assimilation, and it is necessary
to recollect, says the. Times, that neither
party can go to the country until both the
Scotch and Irish Reform bills are settled.
Archbishop Manning had contradicted the
report that he had been requested to for
ward to Mr. Gladstone the thanks of the
Pope for his action with respect to the Irish
Church.
Foinmoat among the demonstrations upon
the liberal side of the question was a meet
ing which was held at St. James' Hall, Lon
don, under therpresidency of Earl Russell.
The noble earl made a long and earnest
speech. the keynote of which was that a cri
sis of great importance in'the history of the
country bad now arrived, and that after a
period of three hundred years the people of
England bad at last determined to do justice
to the sister kingdom. He repeated at length
the chief arguments in, favor of Mr. Glad
stone's position.
A counter demohstratioh was held in the
same hall on the following evening, under
the auspices of the Protestantnefem Asso
ciation. The' London Times says it was
poorly attended. Not more than three
fourths of the hall was full. ,No_one of any
eminence. had been betrayed by • antagonism
to Popery into joining this demonstration
against. Mr. Gladstone's proposal.
Mr. Boylan,' an Irish Roman Catholic,
was amongst those who spoke against the
destruction of the Irish Protestant Church.
The Herald says the attendance was largo.
A few Ghuistonites had obtained an entrance
and their expressions from time to time of
dissent only rendered the applause and ap
proval of the majority more emphatic.
The Mahoning Hallway Accident.
On Saturday morning, at about three
o'clock, an oil train on the Atlantic and
Great Western Railroad was stopped by ob
structions to the track a short distance from
Mantua Station. While the track was be
ing put in order a brakeman was sent back
with a signal to stop the freight train _that
was following. - He had been gore but a
short time when the freight came thunder
ing along, down aheavy grade, the momen
tum it had obtained rendering it impossible
to materially check its speed before it struck
the caboose of the train in front, knocking
it into a complete wreck and setting it on
fire. "

The engineer of the freight Jumped from
his train an instant before it collided with
the calxiose, and escaped without serious in
jury. ' The fireman, James Denham, was
killed.
In the caboose there were a number of
persons, nearly all of whom were more or
less injured, some of them seriously. Geo.
Siaith, of Newburgh, was asleep in the
caboose at the time of the collision, and was
instantly killed. His body was afterwards
burned, with the wreck.
Those who were uninjured had scarcely
escaped from the car when, it ea glit fire,
and it was with the utmost exertio that the
wounded were rescued front thel flames.

Simple Directions for Preserving Furs. I
Ladies are often anxious about keeping
furs free from moths during the summer
months. Some one advertises tip send the i
requisite mfonxiation for one dollar.-1
Darkness is all that is necessary. The 1
"miller,” the eggs from which;; moths are , i
hatched, only moves in light; , the moths
themselves work in darkness. Hang the 1
furs in a very dark closet, and keep the dobr ;
shut; keep it always dark, and'you can have
no trouble. But, as closet doors are some
times left open, the better way IS to enclose i
the articles loosely in a paper, pn this inn a 1
pillow case, or wrap around at
cloth,ad f
hang it up in a d4rk closet. • , Camphor, i
spices, or perfumes are of no use. Contin
ual
darimess is sufficient... And do not take
out the furs in June or July to give them
•an "airing," for even that' ccmeth the ;
enemy, and it may be that M fifteen minutes•
after exposure, it has deposited' a hundred i
eggs. If you consider an airing indispens-
able, give the furs a good switching and put 1 ,
them quickly back.

few thought of eating breakfast Without first tak
