C.,' is actively 'en gaged upon the Life and Times of THAD mars ierzvEris, tor early publication, and _will be glad to receive copies of letters of the dedeased on political topics from 1828 to 1868, and any personal incidents illustrat ing any point in his career, or any feature of his character. Original. letters fir other documents, if - sent to him, will be returned Wrarnid yesterday from memory, we ac cepted the, apparent rttatement' of the Gov ' enor's Message as correct, to the effect that neither the.bonda of the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, nor of the Philadelphia and Brie - Railroad Company, held by the Com missioners- of the Sinking Fund, draw interest. This lie mistake. The bonds of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company bear five per cent. interest, the same as the new bonds of.the State itself. The bonds of the - Philadelphia and Ene Railroad Company do not draw interest till, from and after the year 18 1 72. It 'is, therefore, possible that the Penn. sylvania Railroad Company bonds can be so sold as to cancel an equal amount of the bonds of the State; but a peremptory auc tion sale would hardly prodrice that result Besides, if the Sinking , Fund Commission ers had cash in hand to invest, we do not see what better it could do than to buy the very bonds it is now proposed to sell, unless they should buy bonds of the Common - wealth. We see no reason to modify the statement we made touching the bonds - of the Plana , delphia and Erie Railroad Company. Their present value is comparatively small. A. few years hence they meg, be at par. TILE SUFFRAGE IN CONGRESS. Members of Congress, from the several States, are at present chosen by electors in each State "having the qualifications requi ,site for electors of the most numerous • branch of the btate Legislature." (Consti tution, Art. 1., Sec. II.) Undertbis...clattie , .the colored race, not having - the local or • State right of suffrage;? are excluded from - all voice in the election of Congressmen in many of , the States. Nor does the second , clause of the second article, providing for Presidential Electors, nor any other part of that iniitrimient,impair the right of each State "to appoint hi Such manner as the Legisla,, tare may. direct?, its proper number of Elec.. tors, It follows, thelefore;tluit the suffrage for these Federal ptrrposes , elmnot be impar tially c6nferred upon all Atizens. irrespec tive of race, without a further amendment 'of the Ociiiitittiiion. - ider.irof the present opposition to Impar tial Suffrage would be avoided by the tation of the right to these Federal intrpo,. ses,leaving• each State to regulate its local elections according to ,Its ovni discretion. There can be no doubt at rdl'of r , the duty of theliation to reeogniTo the entire political equality of all its citizens for all national - purposes.. There are vei7 grave.doebta as to the ditty of the Federal power to inter- 'gene hi State afiliht by prescribing thenon titions of suffrage therein for purely local State purposes. All reasonable men Will agiee that Congress should have the right to prescribe the qualifications of its own electors. Very many of the same men will , agree upon the duty of the several States to extend the same equality to all citizens in their own elections. But many of the States in fact deny, this equality, and are likely to • persist in suehdenial for years to come. It is now ~proposed to disregard their objec tions, overriding the discretion of the States by uniform regulations • under the Federal . auttibrity, *eking the suffrage Impartial as much in Slat, isin National elections. This proposition will command a much less gen 'era] lupport. In . .behalf_ of State rights there will be not a' few citizens who will in aline to der& thepresent indulgence of their Piallanthropy. - , In this view, the new Constitutional Ar ' tick and o bill, accompanying intrduced by ~ - Mr; BouTwzrion. the house n, Mon day, are likely to encounter much resistance: If titey pass Congress, the Amendatory Ar 4cleP- *iet- st 4YIe to 011..by.' the req. uisite ; threp-fourths of-the State Legisla• • tures. -- But, so amended as to relate exclu sively to the -Federal suffrage; we think, these measures would obtain a general ac ceptation. It is therefore worthy of con sideration whether it.be wise to peril, and probably lose, so much of a really attainable good, in nugatory efforts to accomplish more than the situation admits of. The circumstances which *justified the Nation in requiring - an enlarged and im partial suffrage in the reconstruction of the late rebel States, are not found to exist as to States which have, maintained their State exietence unimpaired and their Fed eral relations unbroken. These States still retain the same Constitutions which we have once approved as Republican in form, but must at once amend not a few - of them, if the 'new Federal Article nowyroposed be adopted. Was our original approval of those State Constitutions sub ject to I the right of requiring their subse quent modification, „to., conform to the changing Inspects of Federal policy? If so, it will be logically 'diffictilt to deny the cor responding rights of Oregon, New Jersey, and Ohio to modify their respective assents to the joint constitutional compact. Unless this right of, modification be all on the Fed eral side, it is easy to foresee that we may be betrayed into conflicts, between State and Federal'rights, of 'the Most eMbarriss ing and critical character:' *e prefer that all these qtrestioris should be avoided by confining our action relative to the suf frage, to such measures as rest clearly within the Federal authority. NUVEIT 13, 1869. THE DIFFUSION OF KNOWLEDGE Appropriate and just were the congratu latory terms in which the officers of the "Young Mefils Mercantile Library and Me chanic's Institute," of this city, presented their statement of its affairs to the members at the annual meeting on Monday evening. Our young men have reason to point with pride to the success whichlias attended their efforts to establish, upon a permanent and flourishing basis, this most meritorious in stitution. Nor have they—nor we, nor all citizens, who duly estimate the vast influ ence of this organization upon the instruc tion and upon the progress in culture of every useful and commendable taste in the popular mind--any less reason for confes sing the high obligations which our citizens -owe,tc2, : those enlightened and public-spirited gentlethen whose time and labors have been generously given, without stint, as without price, to the promotion of' a cause bearing, indirectly, the niost remunerative material fruits. , That the "Library and Institute" has now attained its twenty-one years majority, in the present enjoyment of a marked prosperity, and with the undimmed promise for a yet more vigorous-career of public usefulness, is due in no small degree, to the heartily 'consenting efforts of gentlemen whose work has always been a labor of love. To these, that re ward will-be still sweeter, than the grateful tribute of their fellow-members and ctn.: zees, which lays in their own justly satisfac tory contemplation of the condition and prospects of the institution. Specifying no individuals, it is a duty to declare that each and all of those gentlemen, whose disinter ested exertions for the mental instruction and moral improvement of the people, and especially of the young men of these cities, have thus succeeded so well, merit the repu tation of public benefactors. The Library and Institute enter upon the maturer period of their existence under the brightest auspices - for a prosperous and in fluential, future. With a`membership stead ily although slowly increasing, the Treasury solvent for its current demands,.and a well selected library of nearly nine thousand vol umes, they enjoy, also, the kindly i regard of all classes and all denominations tin this cenimunity. Their Lecture Committees have contributed largely to securing the public good-will by a highly judicious dis charge of their own special duties. The - present year will also witness the com -pletion of an edifice for the Association, which mill include the needful shelter and facilities for every department included among its objects, and which will be archi tecturally an honorable achievement for the - Association and an ornament to our city. ' We take pleasure in heartily seconding the appeal of the Directors for public en eouragement and support. Their member ship should be made-to include every young man in these cities who would, in a well-- stored and well-balanced mind, possess the highest qualific,ation for a reputable and profitable career through life. And, whether - the Association invites public support for itti library and' lectures, or - reveals its needs for -material aid - in the indispeniable work of building a Hall, for the fostering home of popular knowledge in these cities, the ap peal cannot be diaregatded . without . an ulti mate public loss. ' RAILWA.T FACILITIES. Upon the new Councils of ..this city de volves the duty of,dealing with - the , over tures recently submitted , by.the Perinsylva nia Railroad Company and the Connellsville Railroad 'Company for additional accommo dations for their respective traffics. That the whole subject , will be considered by them in all its aspects, present and prospec tive, before making a definite decision, we ”cannot doubt. - ,The Councils are bound to consult'*l - the rights and interests of theCiti zens, whose representatives they; are, : but not so as to forget that the citizens and the railway companies whose linei centre here, have interests in common. We have already distinctly stated that neither of the propositions of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company comes up to our conceptions; of the.case;; :though its first proposition comes nearer thereto than the A passenger depot, devoted to local busi netssl is urgently needed; and no concessions ought to be made to the. Company that does not include provision therefor. A number of the way passenger trains arrive and de part almost. simultanebusly with through t; i'.3PI'rTIRYUSqH .i.' 0A zurmi . . y.:WONESDAY ,j, J,4 . lsqltAltit i..' - 13 . , '1069 trains; and the consequent • crowd in the Union depot is objectionable, and must be come more objectionable with the increase of business. Another source of discomfort exists in the railway tracks that have to be crossed in going to and from the depot. In convenience and peril are here combined., A local depot, located west of the Elevator, is the only complete remedy for this evil and ought to be insisted on. The business of the city requires a new, commodious and substantial freight depot, and so located as not to necessitate the ob. struction of the streets by trains arriving and departing. This implies that the warehouse on. the, Point shall. be: dispensed with, and the track through. Liberty street taken up. In addition to these particulars, we still insist that all through freight trains, west and east, on the Fort Wayne line) the right to go around the city and not , across it. No hardship willbe put upon the railway com pany by enforcing this arrangement, and and the relief ' l to the city would 'be very great. •,; • Nor ought 4treets, or parts thereof, to be vacated by Councils, until thesel or such other stipulations as may be thought need ful, shall be complied with. At least, a abundantseettrity ought , to be token that any agreement, touching : these matters, will be duly fulfilled on the part of the company; before concessions are granted. In addition, it may be found that a con sideration in money ought to be paid by the Company. What is right, in this direction, ought to be insisted oz. But we incline to the plan of securing the amplest accommo dations for the, business of our people, with 'the fewest Impediments in 'the;" highway, rather thin to the idea of securing the lizgest practical sum in money. The "Connellsville Railroad Company wants first, the right to cross the , city, and, second, access to the Union DepOt. That Company has our warmest sympathies. It had them when they were of substantial advantage to it, and has them yet, in undi minished vigor. If the Councils. shall determine not to abridge the present occupancy of the streets by the- Pennsylvania Railroad Company, tfiey will hardly be able to find a valid reas on for refusing the application of the • Con nellsville Company. Both Companies ought to be served alike; for both are subsidiary, though inuneqUal degrees, to the prosperity of the city. The access of the Connellsville Railroad Company to the union 'depot is a matter over which the Councils have no control, but in respect to which they can exert an agency, provided they proceed in a friendly manner towards both sides. If would cer tainly be legitimate to make, if possible, such access one of the coniiderations for grinting the favors which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company seeks. • -Tne members' of Councils, having- this matter in charge, are gentlemen of experi ence and discernment, and will inaquestion able exert their influence to promote the best interests of the city and of the railway companies. We learn that there is to be a vigorous re sistance to the new Pim programme for the absorptiOn of the C. ct P. Railway into the "Erie" system. At the instance, we presume, of the protesting friends of the former management, an injunction was yes terday granted in one of the Ohio Courts, at Cleveland, restraining the new organiza tion from taking any further prodeedings, relative to the property of the Company, under the startling programnie of which we gave the details yesterday morning. A Re ceiver was also appointed, by -the same Court, to take charge of the affairs and property of 'the corporation. This is, we suppose, the initial step in a series of litiga tions. . . We remarked yesterday upon the Cur rency of a rumor s that the "Erie" clique were making apush to secure the control of the Fort Wayne stock. We have now to say that these efforts, if actually,in progress, are not likely to succeed. The eleven and a half millions of stock in that road, and the twelve And a half millions of its bonds, by a peculiar feature of its charter, are equally the qualification for voting at the general meetings- of the corporation._ If the Erie clique have loose cash enough to buy the more than twelve millions needed thus to control the corporation, they could not find the sellers. The stock and fiends are both held in blocks, by parties entirely out of the . markets, with the 'exception of some two or three. mfilione of the former. These holders generally are not men who would favor, or could be used for, the schemes of the recent raiders , union the a , & P. Bond. Thecontrol of the . Fort Wayne, therefOre seems to, be entirely out of their IPOsidble reach. ' • -RAILWAY MATTERS. BSTOVID TE Mrsszsemr. , By• Albert Richardson. Hartford: American Pub lishing Company. - • ; This book seems to be • Rttite as 'good. if not better, than most of the high dem i subscription books now in the market, and the subject is one of such general interest in these days of ?swine railways-and over land mails, Indian wars and magic cities, that almost every one has some personal or indirect reasons for being well , informed about it. Mr. Richardson, the author, is not unknown to fame, and his former book, (one about the war,) Field, Dungeon and Escape, has had many interested readers. In the present work he giVes us graphic descriptions of adventures and - reliable sta tistics and facts concerning the Prairies. Mountains and Pacific Coast. This should be enough to makelhe book sell well, but it is not all, for the volume contains .more than two hundred fine engravings taken t some from photographs and some from orig• inal sketches by Nast, pilerstadt, Stephens, Darley and others from amongst the favorite American artists. If these pictures were taken and =published < separately from the • valuable 'letter press,. they ought to, and Would sell, for nearly as much as the full price of the book.

If TONI ALEN and WILLIAM DAVIS chose ter illustiate how near, brute creation man can approach, in a friendly fight for purse and championship of the P. R. at St. Louis, we presume' we have no right to find any particular fault with them; but we can not imagine how the Associate Press Agent at that'poinchnignified the chivalrous com bat into a thing of such huge propertions as to demand for it the publication of a detailed and lengthy account in all the paperspf the country. His spirit of t enter prise may be commendable, but in sending the disgusting particulars of the brutal ex hibition he laid his judgment and good taste 'open to criticism. We may be curious in our notional but we don't want to burden mit t columns with such nen, and , feel that our read ers lose little even if they are deprived of.the pleasure of perusing, before breakfast 'this morning, t,he minutest particulars of how two heiman beings', made to the image of their Creator, hammered away and abused each other's body in the most approved and acientilmanner, till life was ready to de- part frpin both had any willing angel-been found tc bear their souls to eternity for judgment. The extended report to which we have reference, is worded in language high toned, classical and , polite if not ex quisitely poetical as for example Round 18-.. , T0m went for his man in earnest, and landed one in his breast basket , smiling as usual at William. when the latter went under. . Round 18—Davis' mug was terribly lacerated. and was bleeding at every pore. He tried to smile at Thomas, but Tom couldn't see it, and led al' with his right, which resulted in Davis going to gran. We' profess to be somewhat acquainted with the anatomical structure of man, but where to locate the "breadbasket" with any degree of certainty 'we hardly know, and it does not strike us as any frery re markable fact that "William tried to 'smile' but Thomas couldn't see it,"-Lit di?es seem singular, however, that William should have made any effort in that direction under the circumstances. We are tofd about "rights" and "lefts" landing home on the' "conic," "knowledge-box," "peeper," "mug," "potato grinder," and many other parts of the body, all being designated in strictest accordance with the vocabulary of the scientific bruiser, and located above the belt somewhere. . We again assert that we may be fastidious in our journalistic notions, but we can't help feeling that such trash better adorns the waste basket than the columns of a journal making the least pretention to common de cency or , respectability.' 'lt is not the kind of news we like to pay for, but we have the privilege of using or not using according to our own judgment and discrimination, and what we may reject may prove ncceptable in other quarters. In this instance we-un hesitatingly cut from our budget of tele grams the long drawn out report: of the bru tal and disgusting St. Lot& prize right, which the Associate Press Agent at that point had the industry and enterprise to pre pare and forward to the exclusion, perhaps, of much more important matters. PLAN FOR A POSTAL TELEGRAPH. The recent Special - Report, from the Postoffice Departine.nt, suggests a plan; the principle features, of which are as follows: First. The establishment of postal tele grapk offices In connection with the ost offices in every city and village of five on sand inhabitants and over, at railroad sta tions and at such other places on the li es of the wires as the telegraph business o the country may from time to time dema . Beeond. The prepayment of all teleg phic messages by stamps; and their recepti n at every postal telegraph office, Postoffice i and street letter box. , Third. The transmission of messages by telegraph between postal telegraph offices by contract with a telegraph company; pro vided that no bid shall be received in which the rate of messages for twenty wordsi or figures or less exceeds twenty cents for each message, and five cents for each added five words or figures or less, for eah and every five hundred miles or fractional c part thereof, to which is to , be added five cents for postage, and delivery. Fourth. 'The special immediate free de livery of every message by carders within the limits of free delivery of letters from any Postoffice, or within`one mile of every postal telegraph office, and the delivery at special rates beyond such limits; provided, however, that messages directed to be trans mitted.by night shall not be, delivered until the next morning. _Fifth. • The transmission of these messagea by mail without extra ch o ar when ge to or from the nearest postal telegraph ffice receiv ed at or directed to any place 'not having such an-office. , ' • Sixth.

Jansonls lierninauom There is little doubt that no confirmations of any of . Andrew Johnson's nomi nations will take place between now and the 4th of March, 1869. ',Upon this;the Re publican Senators seem to have fixedly re solved. The precedefits are all in that di rection. • Strong as they were before, the reasons for adhering to them are indefinite ly stronger to•day.: In 1845, after James K. Polk's election to the presidency, a number of excellent met were nominated for office by Prealdent,Tyler, but the Senate refund to confirm them on the ground that It would be an outrage upon the incoming Adminie. ration. This was Colonel Benton's v iew. The rule has been observed ever since, es pecially when a Whig or Republican Presi dent succeeded a Democratic President, and 'vice verse. Now Andrew Johnson as the John Tyler of our times, and the same at tempt made in 1845 is repeated in 1869. Twenty-four - years have only ;increased its injustice.'--Many important and some good nominations will fail in consequence of this well known Senatorial determination, but as it will be exceptionless none can com .lain. - A COMPANY in Urbana have purchased 200 acres in Coshocton county, under Which lies a huge bank of pure Cannel Coal.

A COOPIMATP7,2 BurLongo SOCIETY in Ne,w'Yerk, composed of 800 members, is established, under the following plan of operations: Every member takes two shares of $l,OOO each, upon which he pays $1 a week. At the end of every month $2,000 is Otis collected, when, the members draw lots for the privilege of using the money in building• a house. • The winner then has the, funds loaned to him for the purpose, and'gives the society a bond on the building for the'amount. Until the house becomes finished, he pays at the rate of five per cent. or $lO si - 'month, and after completion, at the rate of ten per cent., or $2O a month, toward liquidating the debt, free from inter-• est. When the $2,000 becomes thus re turned, the mortgage is released and the borrower owns the house.. If a member wishes &larger loan than $2,000, say $5,000, he pays subscriptions in proportion, say $2 50 a week, from the time of his entrance, and liquidates his debt in proportionate re paYments.
