OTWITMEMANDING the reports, which
state that the shorter tariff bill last reported
in the Ways and Means has-been postponed
to thitiext session, it is understood that a
vigorous effort is yet to be maim to secure
Its consideration and passage before the ad
journment:
Tn Columbia Spy, anew and sprightly
daily paper, succeeding the weekly spy, of
Coltunhia, Pennsylvania, has made its ap
pearance amongst our exchanges. It is a
Nary neat and readable sheet, and will , not
be long in obtaining fall recognition among
?he leading daily journals of the Common
wealth.
TRepublicans of the XVIIth, or Ly
coing, Congressional District, of this State,
.ba*unanimously nominated Hon. W. H.
Armstrong of Willitunsport, to succeed the
present member, Hon. S. T. Wilson, who
declines a re-election. The nominee is a
lawYdr elioquent at the bar and
beftiro iliepeople, and poeticisms a great and
deserlid Popularity. His election by 3,000
materitY is predicted.
Ivapossible that Misaissippi mayhive de
clinia to avail herself of the Congreisional
propositicm; but we are not yet wholly pre
pared to . accept the conclusion from the
present imperfect returns. Should such be
the result, however, in that State, we may
still believe that Congress, actuated by
statesznan-like wisdom, and continuing in
form the present ifilitary governMent of that
State, will leave the offer' open, to abide the
,zeturn 'ot more considerate and patriotic
sentiments among the citizens of Mississippi.
Thit Wayne Citizen, of Honesdale, Penn
sylvania,. has made. its appearance. It is
mutt larger than the Republican which it
=mole, and will compare favorably with
any weekly newiPaper in the State: In its
salutatory, its editor announces that it will
be independent of all cliques and rings, con
sistently holding and advocating theprinci
pies of the Union Republican Party. H. C.
WELLS, Esq., stir 'writer of decided ability,
'has assumed the editorial chair, and Mr. E.
A. Pwraturezt ls the publisher. We wish it
a large measure of prosperity.
FOREIGN Anvxcas announce - that great
preparations are in progress among German
PrOtatants "for the forthcoming celebra
tion of the Reformation" at Worms. The
precise day fixed- for this celebration, or
why it has •bein resolved upon at this par
ticular period, do not clearly appear. The
Great Reformer, - . M.Anusr Limon; was
born at Eisleben, in Prussian Saxony,
Novenaber 10th, 1483. , Ells famous Ninety
Theses • were affixed to the cathedral
gates, October 21st, '1517. He was excom
municated by the Pope, June 20th, 1520, and
the Immortal Protest of his adherents, from
Protestantism has taken, its name.
was_ declared April 20th, 1529. As these
dates are old-style, it follows that July let,
Y. 1868, is to witness the 848th annual aunt
' Tetsary of his excommunication, and that
this is the event which is to be commemo
/Med upon that day.
Tire lAousz makes good progress with the
new' -internal Tax bill, and there •are hopes
that its consideradn • may be finished this
- week. We regret to perceive that doubts
' arelipressed of its passage in the Senate
at this seision. So far as concerns the
- whisky and tobaczo taxes, and the faithful.-
and efficient collection of the same, thlemea,
sure is not only of vital consequence to . the
Treasnil, but, if, possible, It has a bearing

adequate excuse, outside 'of " the ' White
Houk, for delinquencies in the manifest
and imPerative duty of grappling with and
overthrowing a private combination more
infamously corrupt and more audicionsly
defying the public authority than was ever
before known in our history. Congress
should flatten out that whisky in' ig
.if it
takes all summer, and this new tax-bill
affords the most effective method, now ac
cessible, for doing it.
Tint curious tactics of the President are
precisely illustrated just now, in his deal
ings with his .Treasury Secretary, Mr. Mc-
Cuu.ocrt. He desires his retirement, but
has, apparently; special and decisive reasons
for forbearing to remove him. The Secre
tary is at the same time aware :that storm:Lai
resignation would be accepted, and yet de
clines to offer it. The semi-offidal journals
of the administration, therefore, abound
with assaults of
.a nature evidently designed
to force a solution of the embarrassment,
either by goading the Secretary into an ab
solute withdrawal, or by stiffening up His
Excellency's back enough to . take the.re
sponsibility of a removal downright. A.
change, no matter how accomplished, is
very certain to be followed, by an effective
Democratizing of the office, in its policy and
the character of, its subordinates. • 11;ra like
ly, however, that the change will mot take
place, if at all, before the adjournment of the
Democrat:lC' Convention. :
"Text* man who pays more for his rent
than for his advertising does not know his
business*" This maxim of an experienced
and successful merchant is incontroverti
ble. It matters less to have a tine store,
than that everybody should know where it is
and what is in it. It is poor policy to put a
couple of hundred thousand dollars in a
building and then stop. , One store Is no
better than another, except so far as more
customers enter it, and it is advertising
which brings custom to one merchantor
dealer rather_ then another. The - time is
coming, and'coming soon, when advertise
ing will be the heaviest expenditure in car- -
rymg on any business, and it will become
so because it will be the most remunerative.
If advertising is thus the soul of business; it
will not take a'very long argument to prove
to a clear brain that the very hour business
begins to flag, then is the moment to , apply
the stiniules of increased and more vigoroue
advertising—

AGAUNST ALL 'RECENT or still existing in
dications to the contr&ry, it is doubtless safe
to predict that the Democratic National
Convention will be under the guidance of ,
the old leaders, and will avow its hostility
to all genuine conception and expression of
democratic principles. The oligarchic
tendency, created and fostered in the .Dem
ocratic party,. through the long period of
pro-slavery domination over it, is still un
diminished;ifay, is perhaps even stronger
now tluict it was before Slavery was extin
guished. The bitter contempt for absolute
rights, Bathe common and inalienable heri
tage of all human beings, which character
ized it in the days of its lusty strength, has
not been mollified by- adversity,
, but rather
increased; just as the spirit of exclusive..
ness and the love of ceremony generally
appear most conspicuous in Princes who
have been deposed and driven into exile. It
has learned nothing from .the humiliations
and defeats to which it has been subjected;
l but has become more cynical; coarse-, brutal
and milignant in its feelings and conduct
towards the black race.
Whatever Reason may suggest in view of
the' actual enfranchisement of the blacks,
and whatever Prudence may dictate as to
the political Power which the colored race,
by virtue of their numbers and probable in
crease In intelligence and property i will ex
ert in the course of a comparatively few
years, the Democratic leaders, true to the
instincts of the mass of their followers,
will array themselves on the side of caste and
privilege, and against political equality and
fraternity. They will insist that this "is a
white man's government," and that, conse
quently, "the blacks have no political rights
that white men are bound to respect."
Upon this basis they will stir to the very
bottom the vilest passions of the most profli
gate and depraved classes of the whites, l and
these disgusting appeals will be received
with the greatest delight, by those white
men who have no better title to considera
tion than the color of their skins, and who
are always denied social equality with the
leaders whose political inculcatioru3 they re
ceive with the keenest relish.'
It is not to be regretted 'that the canvass
is likely to take tbis shape. White black
guards and mgamuflins may as well take
the present occasion as any other, for mak
ing a last exhibition of their fiendishness
towards those whom ITature has clothed in
a dark-hued cuticle. One thorough exhibi
tion more of this sort will make a final end
in that line in this country.'
THE QUESTION orßEcoNarnocnow can
hardly be involved in the canvass which
will actively commence soon after the can.
elusion of the Democratic National Con.
vention. Congress has already provided
for the admission of Arkansas, of North and
South Carolina, gleorgia, Louisiana, Ala
bama and Florida. Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas remain unprovided for. • Even
if the cases of these latter. States shall ,go .
over to the next session, no severer terms
will be exacted of them than of the others.
These-admission of those S ates first enu
merated is predicated upon the ratification
by them of the fourteenth amendinent of
the Constitution, and their agreement that
no person shall hereafter • be deprived by
them of political rights on account of color
or condition. " Compliance with these terms
is not doubtful. • All those seven States, •
tlikeiore, . '
few • _Weekb: 1
fairly,backln, theViOn, exercising all the'
ights - forinerly'enjoyed by them. This will
be distasteful to the Democrats, who prefer
Tiflir.Sßtili4li --- iiOAZ - -141'T:TE-7.:FRID*Y ' - i , :.•-J-UN -: k.- , 2i: - : i848;,,.,.,,-•
those States shoUld remeih wide; tairimp
- government perpetually,. rather than 111.1 c
the-fimdamental principle of genuine Dem
ocracy fully established within their borders.
But the re-admission of those States, as
proposed, involves somewhat more. The
Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution
provides for negro suffrage in all the States
which participated - in the Rebellion. When
that amendment shall be duly ratified and
become part and parcel of the Constitution,
es it surely will be, the Democrats will be
in a dilemma. For twenty years, and espe
cially the last eight, they have been shout
ing "The Constitution ! the Constitution!"
as though it was a species of Grand Lama,
not to be touched or rudely, blown upon.
They have professedly bowed before it as to
a fetich ; not of thepeople and for them, but
something above them, and for obeying
which they were all created. What Will
these' Democrats do when they find nem)
suffrage in the Constitution, with no chance
of getting it out:? Will they denotmce the
Constitution ? or will they consent that ne
gro 'suffrage is just and , good in some parts
of the country.? At all events, if they will
pitch •• into the Constitution, or into any
thing it contains, they must permit ns to
remind them occasionally of the pungent
words they have tittered against persons
and parties who were so irreverent as to lay
hands ,or vent acrimonious speech against
the Constitution of the United States.
THE.WHEAT HARVEST.
Our crop reports continue to be of a char
acter more satisfactory '"than have been
noted at this period for several years.
Throughout the South, the condition of
their great staple, iotton, is favorably spoken
of, while 'the- growing corn, in unusual
.breadth, exhibits an unequalled luxuriance
and thrift. Wheat, by farthe most import
ant of all the grains, has been already har
vested, and - not only in those regions, but
.8180 in the Border States, as the ripening of
the crop comes Northward, the harvest is re
ported as of the greatest abundance and com
pleted under the most favorable conditions.
From every part of the Middle States, as
well as from the remoter West, we have
such flattering accounts of the character of
the crop now vapidly maturing, as to justi
fy the opinion that the wheat harvest of '6B
will be unparalleled for seven years, inyield
and qaality. It is, in the regionaspokenof,
fairly lont of danger, except such as may
threaten it in the stack, and four weeks
more will see the bulk of the crop, south of
the parallel of the Lake Erie shore., safely in
the garners of the husbandman. ' If the
spring wheat of the Northwest shall do as
well, the year will be marked as one of un
precedented plenty, and, re-inaugurating an
era of Cheap Bread for the Millions, will re
vivify the prosperity of the Nation
THE PROGRESS OF RESTORATION.
Mr. Joirssort's veto of the Omnibus bill
postponed its maturity into a law, so far as
the House was concerned, just about thirty
minutes, for it required no longer time than
that to listen to his brief message, call the'
previous question, and repass the bill by
yeas and nays by a good deal more than the
'constitutional majority in that body. The
.concurrence of ' a similar vote in the
,Senate is not to be doubted, nor that the
week will close upon the - greater part of the
new Senators and Representatives sworn
in. But three of the late rebel States now
remain provincial and unrepresented.
Either one of these alone, were the case a
new one, would present to the American
people . questions of such deep interest that
the current canvass would be made to hinge
upon them alone. Yet, after what has been
in the seven past years, the country, regard
ing rather the magnitude of the mote seri
ous difficulties from which -it is so
nearly extricated, after an experience so
bitter and bloody, will look upon one or
two States more or less as of little compara
tive' consequence, and will observe the con
tinued exclusion of Virginia, Texas or Mis
sissippi with almost a positive indifference.
The critical period has really gone by, and
if those latter States shall prefer their condi
tion of semi-military dependence, or shall be
debarred, by other circumstances not under
their own control, from representation in
the November vote, it will be a matter in
which the people of the Union at large will
not any longer feel the interest which has.
hitherto prevailed. Virginia, Mississippi_
and Texas may, for ill this, thank them.

Be U enacted-die.. That eight hours shall consti

after employed by or un behalf of the Government
or the United Mates, arid that all Acts and parts or

The bill now goes to the President, who
will sign it, as i he is committed in favor of
the principles involved.

Tire Washington , correspondent of the
Boston Post says: Mr. McCulloch goes 'to
London to take charge of a banking house
soon to open in that city by Messrs Jay
Cooke :& Co., and his purpose was to retire
from his present position soon after the'
adjournment of Congress . Such is believed
still to be his purpose, unless it be changed
by the assaults made upon him, in season or
out of season, with the declared purpose of
driving him from the ' Cabinet. Sec
retary McCullock has shown that he cannot
be driven by such artillery. -When his ar
rangements shall have been completed,' - he
will surrender his present commission and
not before, unless requested to do so by the
President himself. Such Is understood
among Mr. McCulloch's friends to be his
true position, notwithstanding all, that
has been said and written upon the subject.

promises to be greater than it has been for
several years, and we do not know that we
ever remember of seeing the grains larger

If the wgather remains as delighttld as 'kis

of the art which enable them to cover up
hard and metallic, worn and hackiieyed
voices, so that they pass undisputed for
being worth a good deal more than they
really are. But, last evening, as on several
former occasions during the past season,
we improved the opportunity afforded
by resident amateur talent of the
city, to institute the most flattering
comparison between those who make
of the divine art a regular and profitable
calling, and the fresh, pure. vigorous and
yet thoroughly Scientific capacities and ex
ecution of the ladies and gentlemen, our
own citizens, whom we all know so
and who devote themselves, upon,sultable
occasions, to the gratification of their thous
and friends by public concerts such as that
at the Academy. We have no hesitation in
declaring that on this and the other simi
lar occasions to which we have alluded,
the lovers of good music in ,these cit
ies have seen ample cause to agree with
us that, in all the qualities which go to
make good music really a griiiiilmtion to
the cultivated ear, our own amateur talent
has shown itself to be far in advance of any
thing we have heard from the regular
trade. It Is because music is made a trade,
professionally and Ibr profit, by' people who
have it only upon their tongues and , from
the larynx outward, while our young
friends who sing in the Hay
makers, at , cathedral concerts, or get
themselves up as "old folks" in
stage costumes which their own 'grand
mothers would disown, sing for the love of f
it, because they have divinefrnelody in their
souls, and give it utterance, con antore,with
sincere and devoted earnestness as well as
with conspicuous fidelity and no mean
skill. That is music which carries expres
sion with it, not a mere trick of trained or
gans, but the passionate and deep expres
sion of natures thoroughly imbued with
the sentiment of melody.
The Academy of Music was comfortably
filled last night, and had it not been for the
exercises at the Female College, which
drew so many people elsewhere, the house
would have been crowded. The programme,
judiciously selected, was successfully ex
ecuted throughout. The proprieties for
bid W 3 to dwell upon the names and special
triumphs of the young ladies and gentle
men,' nor have we the space at our
command for any extended commentary.
We cannot forbear saying, however, that
the solos, ' , Waiting," , Ah! my Child," and
another, not named in the programme, by
the ladies, as well as " , The Exile," the du
etts and quartettes were marked by the
most careful method, exact , precision and
faithful execution. The several choruses
should be mentioned, as another proof
of the vast superiority and cultivated
amateur ability over the heterogeneous
mob of discordant Voices which usually com
poses the "support" of regular professional
exhibitions. No such chorus, as that of
last evening, was ever Ifeard in Pittsburgh,
on any professional occasion. It was won
derfully exact, harmonious and complete.
We have stated above the true reason why
such choruses excel.
The entertainment throughout was of the
highest order, illustrating as a whole and
in every detail, how effectively ouryoung
votaries of music can be united in this com
mon worship of refined and cultivated
melody, and reflecting Much credltto Prof.
Lawton, under whose direction it was held
An Important" Libel Case.
A libel case of considerable imporbmce is
under way in Fayette county and will prob.*
ably be tried at the next Quarter. Sessions.
The alleged libel is the publication in the
Waverley Magazine of April 24th a local
romance entitled "The Spectre Flower,"
written by Albert Bolen. of New Salem,
Fayette county, which the prosecutor,
Clark Scott, of the same county, alleges is
a gross libel on him. The name of the
prosecutor does not appear in the publica
tion, but facts and circumstances are recit
ed which he alleges seferred to him. In
formation was made by Scott against Bolen
Tuesday of last week, and the accused was
held tabail to appear at Court. Messrs.
Miner and Boyle will appear on behalf of
the Commonwealth, and Messrs. Campbell
and Searight ibr the defence. Notwith-
standing the case is one of unusual local
interest in that'county, the papers of that
locality have neglected to publish it.

CURE OF FISTULA. '
Da.. KEIT= : I write to thank you for your kind
ness and scientific management of mY disease, fbr
which I called to consult you some time In January
last. You will remember i that I had a complication
of diseases, which finally,encied in a terrible fistula, 4
which I had been advlsei to "let • alone, on se
count of a harassing cones, which it was feared
might fasten it on my lungs. I knew that the peon. •
lair mode of treating aliases ( like mine was by a
g
cutting operation, which,. p successed at all, would
•
naturally throw the disesie upon the lungs or some
other vital organ, on *cecina of the suddenness of
the cure and the immediaie check to the discharge,
which I believed was a sa 'nary provision of nature
to get rid of some morbid: condition of - the systei.
I feel perfectly satisfied that your method of treat
ment, purifying the syst4m, and local applications ."
to the fistulous part, mini cure, if anything could, •
without cutting, which I bud it did, and I am happy
to report myself well It every particular, with .
sounder and better health, than I have had for years.
I would also add that the applicatiorui yon made
were almost painless, and have left me a new man,
with all the energiessinevieor of restored health.
