DEATH OF LORD BROUGHAM.
"The - - 6ible announces the' dehtlflif
- ;•Bnotontat, late Lord Chancellor of 'Eng-
Lland. Born in Edinburg, Sept. 19, 1778,
he was in his 90th year:: He descpdea
from an ancient Westmorelimd.-farnily; and
was, through his mother, the grand nephew
of WiLtaA3t RonErrrsolt, the-historian. He
was educated at the High School and Uni
versity of Edinburg, where he was nCited
for his devolion td math r emitics and the
physical sciences. - Before attaining Man
hood, he wrote papers theie subjects
which commanded great, attraction from
learned 'bodies. He pursued the study of
Scotch law at Edinburg, travelled on the_
continent, and was admitted to the bar in
1800.
In 1802 he was one of the select spirifs
who started the Edenburg Revive, and to it
he was-an .assiduous and- able.contributor
fora quarter of a century. In 1803 lie pub
lished his first 'volume.
In 1807, having visited London firofes
sionally,, as counsel in the case of the dis
puted succession.to the Dukedom of Rox
burgh, then before the House of Lords, he
resolved permanently to settle in, England.
In 1808 he was admitted to the English bar.
In 1810 he entered the House of Commons
as member for Camelford, a rotten borough,
under the influence of the Earl Of Darlington.
He soon became One of the most and
brilliant defenders of the gON;ernment then
in power. One of his first acts was the
presentation of a resolution asking the King
to take decisive steps for the suppression of
the African ofave trade. From
1810 to 1812
he was zealously hi favor of Catholic Milan
cipation, reform in the government of India
and of abolistaig flogging in the army.
In 1812 he offered himself as 'a candidate
for Parliament in Liverpool against Geo.
Canning, and was beaten; but finally ,got in
for Winchelsea. This borough lie contin- .
ned to represent 'till 1830. In this period
he made famous efforts in behalf of popu
lar edueition. and in'reacurimgChiritable in
stitutions from abuses. •
After 1830 he was in Parliament as mem
ber for • other boroughs, arid attained the
high rank of actual leader of the English
people. '•
On the formation of the Ministry of Earl
Gam*, lie was made Lord- Chancellor, tend
raised to the peerage as Baron BROUGHAM

ended his official career.
As an authai he was voluminots and at

c of pennsylvania passed a law requiring all
the railroads built within our borders to be
of the.narrow gauge, as it is called, or four
, Meet eight and a half inches. Vila was the
gauge of all the leading railroads of this
State, while, on the other hand, Netv York
had started out with the insane notion of mak
ing her railway co2znections peculiar and ex
clusive by means of the broadgauge of six
feet; and again, Ohio established a third
gauge of four feet ten inches. Pennsylva
nia was assailed vehemently by both Ohio
and New York on charges of narrow-mind
edness, selfishness, , exclusiveness,;all
because the State had resolved to adhere to
that railroad . gaugel that had been proven
by all the experience of European -and
American companies to be the true one. "--
North American. 1
New York has not, and never-had, a law
,requiring the guage of railroads within

i.,
"start Out" with'the notion "inian " or.-
otherwise, of "making her railway co nee
tions peculiar and':exclusive. by me ns of

was projected and built, with .=a broad
guage, in which particular it and its affil
iants, stand in _contrast with the Central

and its}feeders. The Pefinsylvdnia gunge
was fixed by la* for the special-purpose of
compelling passengers and freight passing
from New York to the West, and'.from the
West to New York, to change cars.
If ourcontemporary will turn back to its
own files, and to the files of other Philadel
phia journals, particularly those of the now
defunct Sun, during the "Erie Railroad
War," it will be enlightened in reference to
this matter. It was Pennsylvania, not New
York, that was "narrow-minded, selfish
and exclusive." Hour memory is not at
fault, . the North American was not then
on the liberal side. It now falsely ha
putes ito New York, as a serious blemish, a
policy it once urged as specially becoming
in Pennsylvania. , ;,, •
It *Pei the gauge-law of this State, among
other causes, that stimalated the invention
of the broad-tread or compromise wheel—
an expedient it is most desirable to avoid,
in the judgment of all sound railway men;
and the avoidance of which would be facili
tated by the repeal- of our gauge-law, be
cause Pennsylvania now stands in the atti
tude of endeavoring to force the railway
companies of all other States to adopt its
gauge, instead of allowing a common move-
Ment towards that which, under all the cir
cumstances, is best..
When tram-roads,, the precursors- of
"modern railways, were introduced, each
proprietor accommodated the width of gauge
to the width of the wagons or carts he had
'on hand. Hence _grew up. most 'unfortu
,
ruitely, the different gauges now prevailing,
and which are serious hindrances to inter
communication.- The evil would speedily
be remedied, provided State legislation was
entirely out of theway, but for the embar

table cliinge in rolling stock Even as the
case stands, a strong tendency towards uni
-3 fortuity of gauge is disclosed.

LETTER FROM CINCINNATI.
[Special Correspondence of thePlasburgh Gazette.)
CINCINNATI, May 9, 1868
Thirty odd years have come and gime
since I first. visited Southern Ohio and its
metropolis. A vast change is apparent in'
both city and country. Then the. canal
system, in the flush of early and successful
experiment, was impacting a healthfill im
pulse to settlement, and consequently to all
departments of business. Now the State is
interlaced with railways, affording facilities
for transportation not conceived of in those
earlier times, and greatly enhancing the val
ue of lands, whether in towns or in agri
cultural diatricts.
I more than suspect that the farmers, well
as they hale done, have not done as well
as they could and ought. In the districts
particularly rich by nature, as the Scibta,
the delusion that fell upon the, first settlers
to the effect that the soil was really inex
haustible, has not yet been abandoned,
though facts exist which should have dis
pelled it long ago. In many instances corn
has been planted on the same lands for
thirty, ,and even forty or fifty years. The
result is that the average yield has dimin
ished from one hundred bushels to the acre
to forty-five or below. ,* Conversing on this
point 'filth a gentleman of more than ordi
nary intelligence, he admitted that this was
the case, And proceeded to relate an experi
ment he commenced a couple of years
ago and was still prosecuting. He
, .
took a field of twenty acresmthat had
been in corn forty-five years in succession.
Tradition said' that' in its virgin freshness
this field hid produced one hundred and ten
bushels to tke acre, but for some years be
fore he began his. experiment the crops had
fallen to forty-five if not to forty. bushels.
Upon this field he used a snb-soil plow,
creating a tilth -sixteen or eighteen inches
in depth. On this he' planted. corn, and
was delighted to find the yield fully up to
the old standard of
, iirte hundred bushels to
the acre. This experiment; he was still
prosecuting In answer to the inquiry, how
long he supposed • this treatment would
avail; he frankly answered; about ten yeirs.
Of course, then the PoilWould bp thoroughly
exhausted.,
The average yield of wheat has fallen off
in proportion; at leaat, and is no longer
profitable. This crop has become so uncer
tain that kis mapoisible to prtdiet at any
time between sowing and harvesting, with
m ime
accuracy, what lie; yield will be:

age production has steadily increased- for
-years past, and is still: increasing, - the-reon.-
elusion cannot be avoided that there is
something radically wrong in a very- large
proportion of American farming.
What seems to be specially wanting in
Southern. Ohio is a prope4 system of rota
tion in crops • kith a free use of clover.
These points are at the bottom of all - right
agriculture, and the constant disregard of
them tends necessarily to hnpoverishment.
Southern Ohio is destined to go through
laborious process of recuperation,
Cincinnati is a remarkably fine town. It
is solidly built and • well paved. For car
riage ways much smaller atones are used
than in Eastern cities, and to decided ad
vantage beth to horses and riders.! The
principal buildings, especially thoseLtrior,e
recently erected, are of cut stone, andlmany
of them of vast size and superior finish.
The water supply . is bad, being taken from
the Ohio, near ,the city, and not subjticted
to any efficient process of purification. At
the principal hotels, filtered water is served
to guests for drinking, which is an improve
ment worthy of adoption at Pittsburgh.
The suburbs of Cincinnati are delightful,
particularly Clifton and -Walnut 'Hills.
Very feW cities in this country have anything
that will compare with the former. locality.
Nature 'has done much for it by diversifying
the surface, and creating rivulets, and art
has turned these natural,' advantages to the
highest possible account. '; • ,
The city, in common with all large places
using bitaminous coal chiefly .for friel, is
plagued with smoke; but this inconvenience,
as at• Pittsburgh, tends to the greater adorn
ment of the suburbs. Citizens of wealth
and taste, in constantly enlarging numbers,
betake themselves and families to the coun
try, and surround their homes with acres
of exquisite loveliness. Nor is this a selfish
ostentation. The true value of money is in
its lawful use; and a successful business
man can put his gains to no more whole
some end than in providing a beautiful
home. Such homesteads as abound at Clif
ton, simply considered as an educational
force, are equal to an art gallery of im
mense proportionsand cost. The refining
influence is not limitedto the possessors, but
permeates, consciously or unconsciously,
the *hole population. ..
Cincinnati is the largest city West of the
i, l
Alle heny Mountains. Perhaps Chicago
has a ew buildings of greater magnificence
than any existing here; but, on the Whole,
this ity is vastly better built. There
.
are here few or no ephemeral structures,
running up, like Jonah's gourd, over
night, to perish next day. ' Moreover, the
population here must be materially larger
thant Chicago. As to the Suburbs, or the
resid noes of their wealthier classes,Chicago
can sustain no comparison with Cincinnati.
In Ibusiness circles much opposition is
felt and expressed to the erection of the pro
posed.bridge to . connect Cincinnati with
rt
Newpo The point of opposition is not
to a bridge, but to the smallness of the span,
which is such as to interfere with the
navi
gation of the river. What results will flow
from this opposition it is useless to prophecy . ,
but an appeal is most likely to be made to
Congress and the federal courts- P.
Of that remorseless and insidious dastroyer of the
human race.

The human stonfach seems to require -a tonic
stimulant. Froni time whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary. tonic bitters have been
used. Formerly men made their own bitters, and
few thought of - eating breakfast without first tak

when prohibitory laws were unknown, and. In con,
sequence, liquors - were nure.. Dealers could then:
afford to be boneat and sell-nothing but the tmadulz
tented. Now, however, what with. government
tax and court fines. poke-berry Juice
,-and
alcohol
must pass muster for "old rye" and 'bore. bour
bon." People have. come to fear poisoning more
than malarial diseases and dropped their "tansy.".

It is c arged that General Negley's "card
in solicitin g the nomination does not-read
in the u al way, omktting the words "sub
ject todecision of the Union Repnbli-
can Con ention." So his announcement
..read last year. It did not imply then \ that
th r
he mean to run as an independent candi
date if ' refused the, nomination. This he
proved bpromptly, and with decided good
grace, a quiescing in the nomination of
General J. K. Illoorhead, and by contrib
uting largely towards securing the majority
ir
awarded hat gentlemisn at the polls. His
card meant no sum this canvass, and it is
unjust, to say the least, to accuse him of
entertaining any Wee of bolting from the -
decision of the approaching Convention.
As he did not do soln the last instance,
when heavy presstire was brought upon
him ro do so, lie shoidd now be trusted in
any exigency. Gen. Negley's military and
political record is above suspicion, and I
trust politicians will *not again descend to-'
the degrading work of attempting to bring
either the deeds of a gallant, self-sacrificing
soldier or a faithful, unflinching and con--.
sistent partisan, into disrepute. JUSTICE.
