stowing two millions of dollars by way of

is probable that the final result must be in
a groat measure attributable to the vigorous
protest of a. very .few laluential members.
The appropriation was, carried on Tuetday

this yeiti;eithei of which, had it been predict..
ed-at the beginning of the current, deeade;'
would have been scouted as the ; wildest of.
extravagancies. One is the fast nsto - W before
us, of a distinguished erabitssy from the e
Celestial Empire to our. Government and
country, headed by a Veritable Yankee; the
Holy. Amor; 8F111,4:411m*.,, of Massachu
setts, clotb.ed.with all the diplomatic powers
with which the R•rother .of the Sun. can in
vest him; , the other is the effort put forth by a
wing oftbe grea t Democratic party to make
Ft/Limos P.. CHASE, 'an unchanged chief of
the abolitionparty, their candidate for the
Presidency. In both cases extremes have'
met..,, , A. very few; years . ago outside bar
barians, like Mr. BIIRLINGAHE had no
rights, which thetrien of - CliknaNipre bound
to respect; and at a period quite as recent; the
Democracy loudly:tund bitterly denOunced
Mr. CHASE as an incendiary and a wretch
4eservivig of nothing-hut. a halter.' But the
Outside barbarians have not changed—they
are what they always w ere; and so is Mr.
CHASE. The change „ . is on the ,other,side.
Both the Chinese - and the Democracy have
been so effectUally pummelled of late that
they are glad to creep under the skirts of
those whom they once despised. 'Bien the
poor negro, who'naturally and properlyll
feels grateful tq Mr. CHASE, IS to:be Date- 1
ly invited to enter the Democratic fold and
be received into full fellowship as it man and
a brother.
But this last v thing is not likely to work
smoothly. The Chinese empire is not, like
our Deniociacy, a many -headed monster;
therefore there is no difficulty , in the case:of=
the Yankee embassador; but to foibid Dem.
ocratie spouters to pour out maledictions
again -Abolitionists and "niggers"—which
would have to be done if Mr. Cass - is to.
. .
-be the candidate, audit' the votes of. colored
1
men are to be begged in his support—would
be to strike them dumb.
,They have no
other ideas and they have learned , no other
language. TO stick to the party and hate
"niggeis" or "nagers t ", as the word is vs
pottilikittinotinted. lit the paitY, constitute
the - simi total of the principles for which the
great ass of its voters"nhave for years con
-1 teidedl ,
To ask such men as these to fsne
about; and vote ftir a man who Was a rank
Abolitionist in the. palmy days of tnobs and
brick-bats, and to frtiternizewith"dirkies,"
and draw them int 9.,, the party ranks by flat
teries, and walk arm in arm with them to
the polls, is to ask too much. Those fel
' lows Will stampede by thousands rather than
do anything of the kind.
That the most potential leaders of the
part3 t jliad everything arranged foi bringing
Mr: irxsz Out is beyond question, and it is a
very signicant fact. Even Isatan RYND
,
ERS, the leader of the "subterranean" band
of New York roughs, had thrown his
weight, -which is not a little—into that
scale; but there is a stiff-necked generation
outside of that very democratic metropolis
who would as soon give up their right to
vote as to give up the luxury of cursing and,
abasing colored people; and those leaders
are now trembling and hesitating as they
hearl loud growls from that quarter.
They are in dilemma They are determined
not to take PENDLETON; they are afraid to
take CirAsn, and now it looks as if they
would be constrained to ,compromise by
milting upon ANDREW Jonnsox. which
will be the end' of that thing to which many
well .. .meaning men still fondly cling 'as the
Democratic party Of course they have no
love for him, and can place no reliance in
hint. All his antecedents—his' forme; tieree . :
and loud denunciations "of . their rebel
friends, his subsequent abandonment of the
principles upon which he was elected by the
'leans, his indefensible moral charac r
intemperance and his follies—are
as to render it imPoisible either• bq
sr ; ,respect ,him. No, enthusiasm can
ted in his behalf, -except among the
makers of contraband whisky. The party
will feel that he is not one of theinselves—
that he is doubly, a renegade, having left
them to becOtne" a fierce' raateal, then be-.
trayed the-Men :who'olevated him to office,
and was then, for the lack of a bettei• man,
set up to be their national standard-bearer,
without even' pretending to have returned
to the Demneratic fold.
' Everything must be inverted if JOHNSON
is to be the candidate. Instead of the party
1
giving, him a 'platform to , stand npon,_ht,
will give one to the party. His "policy,"
must be taken as the principles of the party.
Negroes, and national bonds, and green
baeks are all to be left lying about loose.
Denacicratate" be Sure, will be left free to
curse the negrO as heartily as they please,
and denounce the bond-holder for 'demand:

equally free to pocket his gold;, for the votes
of the Democraer'fai ' ANDREW 'JORNSON
will not affeettlim; and the negroes of the
reconstructed Stet& will vote on as if no
thing had happened, even should thetandi
ffato of the Democracy triumph.
If the party in opposition to the Repub
licans should liclobfiged to; take M. JOHN
sotc as their standard-bearer there will from
that moment be no Democratic , party.' It;
; will be the JOIINSON party, the whisky par:
ty, or, posSibly; they iney dub it the Con
aervative party, a word which in this coun
try means opposition to progress of every
kind. Jortaliox has been a plague and.a
nuisance to our party; but he will' be the
death of that one if they take him as their
Presidential'andidate. Of course lie will
be overwhelmingly beaten; but that will not
make the surrenderbf the party to him any
the less fatal. ' ' -

Yesterday's race, or the4Lasco which was

which should.. cure the , verdant of that
unsuspecting confidence with whiCh they
j fancy they are beating: their l money on the

the transparent truth that horse-races, boat

and scientific training, but have become

Irob them of their money? ..We do not
make these observatiocs as espeeially appli
cable to the case at Philadelphia yesterday,
but as holding true, generally, of these
"sporting events." •
Why these things should thus have de
generated, frOm the simple contests of muscle
and training which they originally =were,
and which they still delusively purport to be,
into the disreputable exhibitions of humbug,
deception and fraud which they are usually
in fact, is a question much easier to explain
than to account for the readiness with which
thepublic more and more suffers.itself to be
gulled. There have always been , sharpers,
to.live 'by their wits, since society has been
organized, and the buiinesi , becomes more
profitablemith each revolving year ' , but we
are at a loss to account for the increasing
eagerness with which the public lends itself,
swindle-after swindle, to the desiins of the
Greeks, Who "put up" ihnse affairs. We do
not piopose to accomplish _ a reform of these
things, nor even to attempt it. That can
only be effected by the folly working its
'own cure—when experiencellhall convince
people that no "event" of this kind is ever
permitted to come, in good faith, to an hon
est decision, if it can be evaded by fraud
or frustrated by violence, Then, when
there aro no, more fools to be parted from
their money in this way, the sharpers will
be thrown upon their wits to invent new
[ methods of fleecing those who are now
credulous believers in the fairness of
"sporting" athletes. ,

The failure of the Democratic party in
its recent Convention to place in nomina
tion candidates in opposition to the strong
Republican ticket put forward, should
prove no, incentive to the loyal voters of
Allegheny county to drop into apathy and
inertness. While the opposition are disorgan
ized, uncertain how to think or what to do,
void of opinion until some is manufactured
for them at the forthcoming National Con
vention, the Republicans should be cement
ing in solid mass to crush -them theyery
moment their heads are shown above the .
sea of uncertainty into which the, leaders
1, have plunged them. Now is the golden
time for organization. ' Duet wait and hes

Correct statement of the opinions of the
managers of that journal. We do not dare to
say, since the Democracy of the county re
pndiated our neighbor the other day, that it
also expresses the opinions of the party.
The inference is rather that it does not.
The Boston Post, for example, a joninal

different doctrine. 'lt l odenies that the pres

TIM KANSAS PACIFip FROM A
'MILITARY STANDPOINT.
General Sherman, in a letter addressed to I
General Grant, 4ated l March 4, 1868, speak
ing of this road, sayt4: . "The gompletion of
thiS road daring the present year to Port
4:
Lyon would be a most important work to
the military interests f that frontier ; and
the completion of the ther branch to coal
and wood would also b most important to
all the interests alon the valley of the
Smoky Hill, chiefly so o us who have to
guard that line and prol l b,de for the wants of
the necessary garrisons. * * * This
road is a military. necessity."
,Subsequently Major 1 General Phil. H.
Sheridan was assigned to the command of
that department, and in the following letter
expressed 'his views on the same subject.

'Union Pacific Railroad will, in a short'
time, be completed to a point about thirty
miles distant from Fort Wallace,Kansas. I
At this point government subsiy ceases I
and the work ends. ,1 would respectfully
urge.on you the
_impertance of the govern
ment continuing its aid, and at once, as far
as Fort Wallace, and afterwrds to Fort

u
r
The road could WI finished to Fort Wal
lace
about 'dilly lst, and to ort Lyon in
time for the spring freight to New Mexico
in 1869. I know that; pecun* rily, it would
be to the advantage of the government to
help this road certainly - asfar as Fort Wal
lace, and also to Fort Lyon: I But, in addi
tion, it almost substantially ends our Indian
troubles by the morali elfeat which' it exer
cises ever the Indians, and the facility that
it gives to the military in contiolling them.
I have not had. a single depTedation inmy
department since I assumed command, and
I have the greatest desire. to maintain the
peaceful condition of affairs. I have made
a great deal of personal exertion by visit
ing nearly every post in the section of the
country in which the Indians were hostile
last year, and in all interviews with the In
dians was led to believe that we may be
able to preserve peace during time 'coming

The resignation of Mr. Clark; Chief of
the. Printing Bureau of the Treasury De
partment, on Wednesday, was occasioned
by the fact that the House Retrenchment
Committee has lately been investigating
matters in his Bureau, and found every—
thingln a deplorable condition and affairs
badly. mixed up. The Committee were
not at all pleased that one of the most im
portant bureaus of the Government should
be managed so loosely, and , hence they
commenced - framing a report to, be pre-'.
seated to Congress, recommending ftinum- I
ber of very radical changes. Mr. Clark,
hearing of this, became alarmed, an d at
once tendeM his resignation. 'His remov
al has been urged for, a long time,, but for
some unaccountablereason it -could not be
effected. _
The liratiorial Intelligeneir had , another
studied attack on Secretary McCulloch yes- ,
terday, urging the, President t,o remove
him. The , article asserts that McCulloch
beeame - somewhat alarmed at the prospect
of his removal, and on Monday summoned
Chief Justice Chase post haste from Rich
mond, in order that his influence with the .
Prealdent might: be used' to have him (Mc-
Culloch) retained in office; that Chase re
sponded at once, and on Tuesday. evening
did call upori the President for that purpose.
This 'article excites, considerable comment
in political circles; principally from the fact
that the Intelligencer has been recognized as
the President's organ. In urging McCul
loch's removal, the editorial, closes as fol-'
lows: "We tell the President frankly and
earnestly that in this matter for him to de.
lay is to defy public sentiment. He cannot
afford to do so, and expect either from the
present or future generations the applause
be might otherwise fairly claim. It was
the presence and association of such.indl
tiduals as McCulloch and Rollins about
him which gave 'strength to the impeach
ment movement it could never otherwise
have commanded. It was the general dis
gust with relation to these and other offi
cials, whose names will readilyoccur to the
public, which interrupted the warm dew
of personal sympathy, the natural uprising
of popular indignation at an unjust and in
decent accusation, which, but for these3m-.
pediinefits would„in a week, have crushed
impeachment and its authors, to dust. Of
this topic, we repeat, we have long health,
ted_to speak, but if we, shall have by the
,President's , non-action to make our choice
betWeeri a regardfor his feelings • and our
duty.to convictions and demand of the con
servative masses of the land, we shall not
be long in making our selection.”.
Col. Roberts, of. Pittsburgh, was before
:the Senate Committee on Postal Affairs
yesterday, and delivered an argument in ,
support of bridging the Ohio river with not
less than five • hundred feet spans. The
Committee have come to no conclusion in
regard to the matter, but as a majority are
interested in the leading Western rail
roads, it is presumed that they will report
adversely to "long spans." Senator Mor
ton is confident, however, that the long
span bill can be 'carried through the Sen
ate, though the Committee should report
against it. ,
The first business in the, r ouse was
Mr. Binghanis ' motion to reconsider the
vote by which the bill allowing clerks In
1 the different departments twenty per cent.
additional salary was passed. This was
agreed to, and was promptly followed up
by another , motion from Mr. Bingham to
layj the bill upon the table, and. ir was
agreed to by a vote of sixty-eight ayes to
sixty-four nays, the Democrats all voting
in the negative. This effectually , disposes
of this proposition during the presentses
sion. _
An effort will be made to reduce the sal
aries of members of Congress from live to
three thousand dollars.
The military review of all the troops in
this department' 'took place yesterday; in
honor of the' Clainitse Embassy, who were
present and : manifested, great interest.
About, three thousand troops of infantry
and cavalrY were inline. A large number
of spectators were present, including Cabi
net Ministers, Senators, and Congressmen.
General- Hancock commanded the troops.
The, . weather, was uncomfortably warm,

The grand event of the season was the
,
musical - contest, instrumental and vocal,
...,
which took place in the Chapel of the Pitts
burgh Female College last evening. At, an
early hour in the evening the Chapel was
filled to its utmost capaci y with, the most
,
brilliant and appreciative assemblage we
have ever seen collected together. The
grand contest for the "McKee" and "Mel
lof." endowment, prizes had been impatient
,
ly looked for by the intellectual and musi
cal circles of the city, inasmuch as previous
entertainments of the character had elicit
ed the warmesfecorniums of praise from
the most accomplished critics. ,The audi
ence embraced a majority of our amateur
vocalists and musical celebrities, and the
deepest interest was manifested. At a few
minutes to eight o',clock the young lady ri
'vats, fOurteen in number, entered the hall
from the class, rooms, and . were ,assigned
