THE close of the JoEEsOlc administration
on the 4th of March leaves but little need
for the assemblage.pf the next Congress on
that day, as required by
. the present law.
If provision be made, at the ensuing ses
sion for taking the National census, and
for other preliminaries requisite to a proper
appointment of Representatives, there wilt
.remain no good reason why the members of
the next House need appear at - the Capitol
until Dectimber, 1869. R would seem better,
therefore, that the questions which we allude
to should be squarely met and disposed of
at the approaching session.

is the equitable .- adjastment of a serious con

ne other point, upon which Mr.. SE
WARD objects, to the Joincsox protocol, is
well taken, it' sustained by the facts. There
is not the shadow of any just reason why
specific claims which have been already de
cided alike by the law officers of both gov
ernments, or by the Courts of the one in
favor of the citizen of the other, should be
re-opened now. In the nature of things,
there could be no controversy upon such
cases, and it is both needless and mischiev
ous to include them, by way of a revision,
in any subseauent agreement.
THE ERIE RAILWAY WAR.
The Managers of the Erie Railway Com
pany' have been selling a vast amount of
stock; at low figures, in order to realize
meanito make necessary improvements up
on the, property. As they_do not pay divi
dends and never expect to, on the stock
now. i i 3utstanding, this procedure makes
their pecuniarysituation easy, and enables
them to serve the public as well as them
selves better than they Otherwise could.
Some day the road and, its appurtenances
will be sold on the mortgages given to se
cure bonds, and then the stock will be wiped
out. '
Very little of the new stock has been
taken by other parties than the various
cliques that are. striving to gain the control
of the road. The swindling, which has
been gigantic, has been at the expense of
swindlers. While this does not alter the
moral quality of these transactions, .it is
agreeable to know that only professional
stock gamblers have been fleeced. So far
as they are concerned, they are entitled to
no sympathy, and get none; for what has
been done to them, they have often one to
others, and are eager to do again, when
ever opportunity shall offer.
One - of the latest reports was to the effect
that one of the officers had absconded , with
seven to nine millions of dollars belonging
to the Company. This excited no surprise,
because it was in keeping with what had
gone before. But the person accused re
sponds that he has not stolen the money,
and has not eloped.
Meanwhile the Courts have been dealing
with the matter, and, some of them, in a
way to convince all careful observers that
they are no better or purer than the stock
jobbers. ,
The whole affair is infamous, and fur
nishes a startling illustration of rottenness
in business transactions which gives occasion
for serious reflection. -
THE CUARTIERS VALLEY RAIL-.
ROAD.
A very encouraging meeting of the friends
of the Chartiers Valley Railroad project was
held at Canonsburg, a day or two ago, for
the purpose of obtaining subscriptions to an
amount required by the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Company to take in hand and ca-ry
through to completion the construction of
the road. After a general expression of
views, the meeting resolved to make strenu
ous efforts toward securing the necessary
regular subscriptions in the form and on
the terms proposed by the powerful ally to
the enterprise.
It will be remembered that the Pennsyl
vania Central Company originally nropos
ed to build the road and placc on it the
necessary . rolling stock t ,for operation,•pro
vided the citizens interested should sub
scribe $.300,000 towards the capital stodr,
to be paid in assessments as needed. With
no extraordinary effort $240,000 •f thrit
sum was obtained in subscriptions, and the
Company accepted the amount in lieu of
that origittally requested. But When the
subscription papers were handed in they •
were found to be purely informal—in
their character, irregular • and not bind
ing on the subscriberi. The Company,
having no desire to recedefrom its original
proposition, but sincerely desiring the , ac
oomplishment of the end, could not recog
nize the proceedings unless the ground was
all gone over and the subscriptions placed
on a legal or binding basis. Their proposi
tion now is that when the sum of $240,000
shall be subscribed in the authorized way,
Work will be commenced in favorable sea
son and - the road put in running order in
side of ten months thereafter. In view ,of
:the good feeling and harmony which marked
the recent meeting, and the generally ex
pressed willingness of those present who
had previously subscribed to dOOO again,
we can confidently predict that before the
close of next year the project will be con
vert,ed into a paying reality.
_ -
IS SPAIN RIPE FOR A ItEPVBIM
The above question is a speculative one,
and some of our readers may esteem it idle
to attempt a definite solution of it,
as time alone will be able to answer it sat
isfactorily, when the Spanish nation shall
really decide upon a form of government.
Still the question may and will arise, and iV
certainly. can do no harm to give our views
concerning it. •
Now in the abstract, a perfect republic is
only possible amongst perfect people; 1. e.
people without passions, without prejudices,
In 'short, a nation consisting of philosophers.
In that sense even the Americans, the
inhabitants of• the :United States, are unfit
to maintain a republic; and the late civil
contest taught us, at a fearful expense,
that even the best institutions are no safe
guards against riots, mobs, and even wars,
if the passions and the prejudices of the bad
or ignorant rebel against the wisdom of the
Constitution of the land, or if the minority
refuse to submit to the dictates of the major-.
ity; a principle which, though defective in
itself, is absolutely necessary for the main
tenance of a democracy.
The people of the United States, though
more able to govern themselves, are far
from being perfect models of Republicans;
else how could we account for the many
violations of the laws bearing upon the rights
of citizens, their protection and privileges
in. the various sections of the country ?
How could we account for the outrages
committed on election days? the mobs and
riots perpetrated in some places, and the

fraudulent votes a ninataralLzed persons in
others ? Those who charge the latter perni-
cious practice upon foreign-born individuals
albie are surely very unjust. If they
would investigate, the matter carefully, they
would see that more than half the blame
rests upon the community or State where
such outrages are perpetrated.
We repeat the question, Is Spain ripe
for a Republic ? We'ought to ask it in the
spirit of men, conscious of the fact, that
they themselves are trying an experiment,
which has created distressing doibts; that a
few years ago they were themselves engag
ed in a fearful conflict, which made Euro-
peen sages shake their wise heads and ask
the question, Is not the Republican form
of government after all a failure,' and
would the European nations not do better
to give up all wild hopes for greater liberty,
and trust the safer rule of their poteatates ?
Kind, the fortunate isstre of our warhae not
decided this question. It - has only hope.
fully post l ned ita decision. It is still our
77 0
high dut y and i privilege to prove to the
World, and Xgtrope especially, that a Re
public is not only the beat, but the only
good, sound and rational _form of govern-
Matt, provided Me people cone as near as
possiblo to the platforms of parfest republi
cans as human nature can.
Now, being conscious of our own short
comings, we ought to be the last people to
deny the abllity_of the Spaniards. to manage
their affairs without the assistance of a man,
Whose principal merit is his birth, and who
may be a blockhead, if he only descends
from some illustrious house, and was born
on a throne, by the grace of God. 'Let us
look at such a nionarch for a Moment
Would the Spaniards want a sovereign like
the queen of pngland, who—though ever
so good a woman—is nothing but a cipher
in the government and only makes herself
felt to the people by the taxes which her
maintenance requires ? Such a sovereign
is not calculated to make the gOvernment
'any more stable ; as Victoria or her son
may before long experience. With her the
nation has a representative government
with the expensive but !vet useless orna
ment of a figure-head. The tide of time
tends towards republican institutions, and
the reform movements in England is the
best evidence of the fact that the instinct
of loyalty to a family, irrespective of its
merits, is fast yielding to abetter and no
bler loyal affection for principle.
Then, if we could not advise the Span
iards to give themselves a mere appearance
of rights—could We advise them to pro
vide a new tyrant, just after having, rid
themselves of the old one? Such bad Coun
sel would deserve but little attention.
The plea that they might choose a better
ruler, gives no additional weight what
ever. „If they shall choose a good ruler,
who wilrguarantee to them the goodness of
his successor? or could-we counsel them to
adopt an elective empire, with the history of
unhappy Poland as a warning example?
No, if the Spaniards are not able to-sustain
a Republic, they are much.less able to sus
tain an elective Kingdom. If factions
would tali. the entrails of a Spanish Repnb-'
lic, they Would more certainly wound those
of an elective kingdom; and the countri, if
it did not fall a prey to an ambitious leader,
would soon be absorbed by its powerful
neighbor, who, would 'surely seize a pro
pitious moment to appropriate the fair- re
gions of Spain. A new dynasty—in the
face of modern ideas—is more impossible
in Spain than a Republic.
The conduct of the Spaniards : during
their late bloodless revolution speaks vol
umes in their favor. Self-control is one of
the prime virtues; and we should find -little
difficulty in pointing out instances where
sections of our glorious republic have been
`beaten in this respect by poor, degenerate
Spain.
Let ns in charity cheer on a nation reso
lute enough to throw off the yoke of a
sovereign , who, though profligate, could
show the sanctification of centuries for her
cause—yes, resolute enough to harbor an
idea which would terrify enlightened Eng
land—the idea of- a Republic. '
The True Republican Policy.
Tne Republican party must cease to re- j
Bard its success as necessary to the safety of
the country.' It must cease to strain its
powers, cease to toleratii any corruption or
abuses, no matter how much it may cost to
uproot them. It must reform the whole
civil system, and must select as rulers
men who have some qualifications as prac
tical statesmen, and not persons whose only;
virtue is intense hostility to rebels. In short,
the Republican party must prove that it can
not only preserve the government, hut wise
ly administer it, or, the necessity of the war
having passed, the party will cease to hatre
any claim upon the public confldence.—Be.

AUSTRIA.—The recent change in the
political relations of this empire towards
the States of Germany has caused an altera
tion in the name of the country and in the
title of its ruler. By an imperial _order,
henceforth the designation of the empire
will be the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy,
or Austro-Hngarian State, and the title of
the ruler in u treaties with foreign powers
will be "Emperor of Austria, King of Bo
hemia and Apostolic -King of Hungary."
This title in the body of theAreaties will be
abbreviated by the emission of all reference
to Bohemia, and the monarch himself will,
be spoken of as "His Majesty the Eurperof
and King, or His ImPerisland Royal Apos
tolic Majesty." ,
Tax Attorney General's opinion on the
Eight Hour Law, sent to the President on
Monday, is understood to be in accordance
with the decision of the Secretary or War,
who decided that in no case can a full day's

will be remembered that the law only re
quires the departments to pay '
full wages
when the work done in eight hours equals
that heretofore performed in ten hours.

THE bee raisers in the vicinity of Louis

of honey, containing from sixty to seventy
five pounds each. The opinion of a-major

THE Hon. E. E. Washburn, Chairman of
the "'Committee on Appropriations, has been
calpulating estimates for the coming session
of Congress. He says that the condition of
affairs would be very satisfactory but for the
Indian war, which seriously increases the
necessary expenditures of the War Depart

of the Treasury Department may be largely
diminished.
SEVERAL year's experience of the License
law in Massachusetts has resulted in increas

froth 1,900 to 2,500, and the number in the
State in like proporiion. The good people
of Massachusetts think the License law has
had a fair trial, and on the whole: e has failed
so signally as to convert the previous partial I
failure of the Prohibitory law into a com
parative success. On the square issue be
tween License and Prohibition they have , 1
eleetedari overwhelming majority of Pro
hibitionists to the next General 'Assembly,
and the result will-be a repeal of the License
law and a return to Prohibition.
A riEw method ofconverting reciprocatin
into rotary motion _by means of a treadle,
has recently been exhibited in Boston. The
invention, which also overcomes the liabili
ty of stopping upon a dead centre, produces
a rotary motion from the treadle by means
of two flexible connecting rods, combined
with two reciprocating pawls acting in con
cert. The pawl's are so arranged that the
slightest movement of the treadle produces
a rotary motion to the shaft carrying, the
driving pulley. It is stated that this appa
-ratus enables the operator to change the
motion and position of the foot at will, thus
greatly relieving the. monotonous and con
stant vibration of the body, as well as de
creasing the muscular effort.
THE London Spectator observes: "The
years during which President Grant oceu
pies the White House will clearly not be,
good times for speculators, or for disobedi-, ]
ent °Metals, or for persons 'who violently
disturb the public peace." In alluding to
his published correspondence, &c., it adds;
"General Grant comes out in these letters,
and orders, and—no, not speechessayings,
a soldier politician of the best sort, but
with's vein of wrath in him, a man who
surveys politics as he would a valley, with
out .seeing every
~ tree, but missing no
strategic point, a soldier who is aware that
there must be farce somewhere to keep
society together, but a politician 'who is de
termined that force shall be the law, framed
and modified by the representatives of the
people. We congratulate the United States
on a President who dislikes waste, even
when the wasteful support his party, and
will put down murderers even when they•
plead the sovereign rights of States.fl
THE Roos. or THIS WORLD is tie name
of a vast elevated region of table land situa

the Russian frontier posts in Turkestan.
On the northeast of India' is another unex
plored tract running as far as the most west
ern provinces of China which have recent
ly declared their independence of the gov
ernment of Pekin. Both these regions have
attracted attention in England, and at a re
cent session in London of the Royal Geo
graphical Society, the President, Sir Roder
ick L. Murchison, dwelt very impressively
upon the necessity of their thorough explo
ration to ascertain the existence of practi
cal passes through the mountains. Murchi
son considered it highly important on the•
one hand that a route of traffic on the east
ern side should be opened between British
Burmah and China, but on the other hand
insisted that a broad zone of neutral territo
ry should be forever interposed between In
dia and the latest conquest of Russia in

The Pittsburgh Teaehers' Institute;
THIRD SESSION.
The Third session of the Institute was
held last evening in the Ball of the
Third Ward School building, on Grant
street.
The attendance was much larger than at
any previous session, and the exercises
were of a very interesting and instructive
character. •
The Institute was called to order at seven
and a half o'clock by Prof. Lucky, who
led the audierde in prayer.
Prof. Lucky announced that hereafter
the sessions of the Institute would com
mence promptly at seven o'clock.
The exercises were opened with a beauti
ful song, by the Allegheny Quartette Club,
entitled '‘The Old MOuntain Tree," which
was rendered in excellent style and receiv
ed loull applause.
ikirs. Seaver, of Oswego, was then intro
duced and gave an object lesson, taking
for her subject "The Cat."
The lesson was taught in a very natural
and easy method,,ard the manner of mak
ing it plain and practical to the understand
ing of the smallest child in the primary de
partment was developed iu a clear and
very satifactary style.
The audience was now granted an inter
mission of live minutes, and when called
together again was favored with another
melody by the Allegheny Quartette Club,
entitled "The Little Brown Church.? Miss
Seaver again. took the stand and treated
the audience to another•object lesson in
Natural Philosophy, taking for her subject
the properties of expansion and contraction,
as seen in the heating and freezing of water.
At the close of this lesson the Quartette
Club sang an exquisite song entitled
"Bright Angels will Bear roe to Gast;"
composed by Prof. Dorling, one of the Quar
tette.
This was- followed by a comic song, enti
tled '•The Sneezing Catch," which was re
ceived with such rapturous applause that
the Club were again compelled to come for
ward and vor the auience with another
song; after fa d
te
which the Institu adjourned:
• This evening A. H. Chase, of Harrisburg,
will deliver an address to the Teachers, and
on Friday evening Prof. Wickersham.
State Superintendent, wily address the In
stitute. It is earnestly, desired that all the
' Directors of our Public'Sehools be pri3sent
on Friday evening to hear Prof. Wicker
sham's address, as it will be that which
will more- especially interest them. The
Institute will close on Saturday, with day
sessions in the morning midafternoon, both
of which promise to be more than usually
interesting and instructive.
Amusements.
OPERA Houss.—The audience at the Op
era House was not as large last evening as
the entertainment merited, yeti it was a
reasonably fair one. Mr. Adams ' appeared
as the Duke of Gloster in Richard lIL If
Mr. Booth has a rival in his profession, Mr..
Adams is certainly that man. His Richard
in many respects is even superior to that
of Booth's, and he takes pains throughout
to certainly render the character bettor
than any other man exceptßooth. To
night "The King of the Commons" will be
presented, in which Mr, Adams has , no an
perior.
PITTSBURGH THEATRE.—A reasonably
large audience attended the Old Drury last
evening. To-night Miss Kate Fisher will
`appear in "The Child of the Sun," a niece
which gives ample scope for her style of
acting;
VABISTIES THEATBE.--The attendance
at Trimble's Varieties last night was, as
usual, good . The entertainments of this
establishment are of such a character, and
the attractions so' numerous, that the pub-.
lic will bestow their patronage upon it lib
erally.
Tau MUSEUM.—Maj. . Burnell continues
to havie a large number of visitors, both day
and evening, at his attractive Museum,
Franklin Hall, Fifth avenue. '
THE PEAS. FAMILY.—A large and appre
ciative audience assembled at the
Academy of %Music last_ night, which was
the opening entertainment of the Peak
family. Their exhibition, while of a strictly',
moral character, is of a variable character
and well calculated to meet the taste of a
mixed audience. The 'lovers of good
music should not fail to attend, and if you
desire fun, we know of no place, where it
is more fully dispensed in its purity, than
at the entertainments of the Peak family.
Persons contemplating a visit there to
night, should secure seats, as the Academy
will doubtless be crowded.
Sr. BRIDOETS Fart.—The fair at St.
Bridgets Church, Eleventh ward, was
largely attended last night, and promises
to he a success.
BIRMINGHAM FAIR.—The fair now in
progress in the Town Hall, Birmingham;
for the benefit of the St. Johns Church was
largely attended last'ilight, and th§ 'receipts
were in excess of what was anticipated.
Clothing Store Robbed.
At an early hour yesterday morning the
clothing store of Messrs. Elliott do Lyons,
No. 63 Federal street, Allegheny, was rob
bed of a large quantity of made-up goods
and valuable. cloths. The thieves effected
an entrance by prying open the shutters of
one of the rear windows, breaking one of
the large panes of glass, and crawling
through the hole thus made. They carried
off about fifteen overooate, several business
coats, several pairs of pante, some vests and
a number of carpet sacks. The carpetsacks,
it is surposed, were used in carrying
off the lighter articles. The thieves also,
secured several remnants of valuable cloth,
and one or two rolls which they had at
tempted to take away were found in the
coal shed this morning. They rummaged
the store pretty-thoroughly, and mixed the
:goods up in such dolifusion that the propri
etors can hardly form an estimate as yet of
their leis. There is no clue to the robbers,
but the i police ,are endeavoring to ferret
them 'out.

• REVOLT IN THE INTERIOR.
AWhen the stomach is rebellions, the liver contu
macious, the bowels disordered, the brain confused
and the nerves in a tumult, call In the aid of HOS
TETTER% STOMACH BITTERS, if yon would re
store quiet, regularity and harmony to the action of
these important organs. A large proportion of the
complaints to which the human ?amity are sub,ect„
originate in Indigestion. For this distressing mala
dy, and parent of innumerable ailments as distress
ing as itself,, the BITTERS are the only a• tide
proved by experience to be a universal and unfhil
ing remedy. But although It was as a remedy for
dysPepsis and blillousuess that; they, first obtained
prettige twenty years ago, it is new pretty well un
derstood, both by the public and the medical profes
sion, that their curative properties take a far wider
range. In nervous complaints, spasmodic affections,
fever and ague, And every variety of general and lo
cal debility, their sfiect is most salutary ; and as a
means of preparing the system to mist damp, cold,
poisonous elements in the water or the air, priva
tion, exposure. fix., no medicinal agent at present
knownean be Justly compared with this powerful
vet nameless tonic. The feeble and sensitive, who
can ill .witbstand the inclemency of the winter sea
son, will find the BITTERS exactly the article they
need to fortify and sustain them.
