TIE MOM GIZETTE.
This journal enters upon the 81d year o
in esistence which has , never been more vig
orons, or rewarded by the confidence of the
people with a more substantial support, than
now. Always a leading newspaper of the
Commonwealth, the present generation of the
teople, the third since the establishment of
the GAZETTE in the last century, still regard
it, as did their fathers, with . unabated re-
;pat, and with an entire reliance upon its
faithful exposition of the Aonndest princi
ples of political:wad soda economy. The
Proprietors, need only point to the unblem
ished record of this journal in the past, to
pledge to their fellow-citizens the same
fidelity to the highest considerations of duty
for the future.
Onr facilities , for obtaining the latest and
most tellable news, increase daily. \ All re•
cognize our devotion to those political princi
pies which have recently achieved a fresh and
most signal vindieation before the tribunal
of the people.:-.The effective services of this
journal in promoting this triumph are ac
knowledged by an universal assent.
The GAZETTE enjoys to-day an admitted
influence in a wider field than ever before.
It is no longer. regarded as a mere total
journal, bat has acquired an ,interest, as a
journal of the nation, which commands at
tention to its utterances abroad as well as
at home. Its managers will aim to main
tain and increase this influence by every just
means. It will continue to be, a: in the past,
the only political journal in Allegheny county
which.will be accepted by the people, at home
or abroad, as the faithful, steady, ever-true
exponent of those Republican principles which
one Administration and four successive Con
gresses have loyally and successfully inter
preted, and which the American people have
just now once more emphatically approved.
The close of a momentous political strug
gle, and the victorious situation to which,
that has brought us, will find the GAZETTE
acting in harmony with the new Adminis
tration of the Government in its most im
portant departments. We shall have access
to the most reliable sources for early, accu
rate 'and abundant information, on all mat
ters transpiring at the National and State
Capitals, and will:mole the collection of such
intelligence a leading specialty. Oar special
and regular daily reports from Washington
and Harrisburg, particularly during the
approaching sessions, will be early, minute,
uninterrupted, and from the very highest
'sources.
The DAILY SIZETTE, at only two-thirds
the price charged by other joarnals; will
give an equal amount of interesting matter,
itseight broad pates making it the cheape t,
as it h the one of the largest, daily journals
of the ';Commonwealth.

GOLD closed yesterday in New York at
Wn rmaT elsewhere.a statement, proba-"
bly correct, of the points substantially cov
ered by the Alabama treaty, a copy of which
is already before the Senate. This state
ment precisely accords with the public im
pressions of its nature, based upon the pre
vious reports. All those modifications which
Mr. SEWARD demanded, in the original pro
tocol, have been conceded by England, and
the treaty, as it now awaits ratification, is
precisely what American interests have de
manded. We secure, by its terms, every
thing we 'have asked for,--evergthing, in
deed, that the most liberal criticism, of the
most independent press, has insisted upon
as essential. Who doubts,'then, that it will
secure the approval of our Government,
I sooner or later ?
WHAT HAS been accomplished by the
Paris Conference? Nothing, except to af
fix its approval to the substance of the Turk
ish ultimatum. This insisted absolutely
upon the cessation of the Greek interven
tion, violating all international principles of
neutrality, in the internal questions which
concerned the Sultan and his Greek4ub
jects alone. That ultimatum really / cOverecl
the fundamental issue wbethy Turkey
should continue to exist as an European
[ 7
power. Clear proofs were submitted to the
,
Conference that the Greco•Russian pollc;
looked directly to the dlstnemberment of the
Turkish empire, in Europe,-iind the relega
tion of all hei Greek possessions to the
government at Athens. This was the real
question which met the Conference at the
threshold./Eiesitatine, it has postponed the
Ottoman/expulsion for yet another day, and
1 for the present holds up the Sultan's hands.
It liby no means clear that Greece will ac-
i cept the decision. Were Russia not so ill
prepared for war, there would be no doubt
as to the promptitude of her refusal.
A Kentucky Representative—Mr. Come
DAY—writes from Washington, on the 18th
hot., to the Louisville Journat thus:
'gin my judgment this Congress will not
legislate to enforce the Fourteenth Amend
ment. Our Radical friends thus - think.
Consequently Kentucky's Congressmen
elect will not be reduced, as the constitu
tional law is inoperative until after legisla
tion is had to enforce it. The XLlst Con
gress and next census, I think, will come
before we have another election or are re
duced In our delegation."
The Representative is frank—and he puts
the responsibility exactly , where it belongs.
'Nor do we think that he misconceives the
PriMa facts title of his State, in the present
situation, to insist upon their excessive rep
resentation in the . XLlst Congress. Had he
also stated that the failure of Congress, to
provide for the next census to be taken this
summer, will practically ensure to his State
the same excess for the xurd Congress
also, he would have been borne out 'by the
facts. . •
For the rest, why is it that Congress does
not "legislate to enforce the %rah amend
va went" ? The country expects it, Kentucky
00 and Maryland await It—and Congress does
00 nothing yet.
and
Other States, and other parts of our own
State, are giving generously and laboring
for the cause of collegiate education. Large
sums of money have been given, and great
progress has been made in elevating col
leges and universities. Institutions have
started into life fully equipped with large li
braries and cabinets, extensive apparatus,
magnificent buildings, and numerous well
endowed chaire.
Westein Pennsylvania has been remiss
in her duty' in this respect. Her material
interests have received their full share of
attention.; her educational have been, sadly
lei;dected. Our wealthy people have been
partakee.of the,,,botrogie pro;
tisiort:oodalied 'hY the infertility', of _otheri
in diiihtli6ltiet.l 'Few, very few, have been
the large donors who have been disposed to
erect endttrirtg educational monuments at
home. Evidence of the truth of this state
ment may be aeon in the fact that two of
OUr luider dtrection , Of
one of bur largest and most wealthy de
nominations, found it necessary three years
ago, in order to preserve life, to unite their
strength in one college, and still that one
now languishes. A meeting of its Board of
Trustees is to be held in our city, in a few
days, to devise means to impart to it new
life, to endow it, and if necessary, to change
its location."
Among the plans proposed, or spoken of by
*individuals, is , one to unite with the Western
University of Pennsylvania, and thus to
form one large University of the highest or
der, with all the appointments of an insti
tution fitted to meet the wants of the times.
That such as institution is greatly needed
here, that it will reflect great credit on our
!State, and benefit in a large degree, all our
interests, material, intellectual, and moral,
cannot, for a moment, be questioned. We
have too many colleges in our country that
are feeble, having merely a name to live, not
at all coming up to the dignity of a college.
More than twenty such are chartered in
our State. Can then the friends of these two
(Wealth

Wealth in one large and noble university; '
Which shall be to our State what, the Michi
gan is to that State, and what Yale is to Con
necticut. The arguments in favor of such a
union are strong, the difficulties few, but
we fear insuperable.
The University is prosperous, having very
nearly 200 , students, with classes in all
of the five regular departments—its chairs.
ten in number, all filled, its apparatus,
cabinet and observatory well and newly
furnished in all respects. It is located in
the midst of a rapidly increasing and
wealthy county, and where, too, it is ap
proached by thirteen different railroads and
railways.
More extensive grounds and more and
larger buildings are demanded for its in
creasing number of students, and for the
additional departments contemplated._ The
advantages of a city or its vicinity, as a la
cation, are many and great, and need not
here be discussed. The wants of Pittsburgh
are such that a good University must and
will be sustained here.
The Western University is in fact, and
by its charter, undenominational, by which
we mean that a majority of its Board of
Trustees and Faculty belong to no one de
nomination. It cannot be controlled by
any one denonination. Its Trustees and'
Faculty each represent some seven differ
ent denominations.
As undenominational, all its funds have
been contributed to it.

college,
United College is a denominational
college, as Meadville is, as _Harvard is, as
Brown is, or as Lewisbureis. As such its
funds have been given / tO it. Can then its
friends consent fo divert its funds, and to
join in building up , a literary, scientific and
professional institution free from all secta
rian bias, in the' best locality in or near our
city ? Most assuredly, it cannot be expect
ed, that all the denominations, Some of which
have contributed largely to make the Uni
versity what it is, shall relinquish their en
larded catholic views in favor of any one
denomination.
To build up here an institution in litera
ture, art, and science and its applications,
in law and medicine, of the highest order,
so endowed as to open its doors freely to
the worthy poor student; is an object deserv
ing of earnest effort, and much sacrifice of
personal and denominational Preferences.

In the highest degree. It represents a help
less family, brought on by the intemperante
of the father, but the noble wife braves , the
poverty and shame of her corditionoind
instils noble principles into her children.
Thechildren, especially the oldest boy, im
pressed with the situation, toiled htte and

excellent book for the Sunday School Li

Goodman, author of eMadge," etc. Pub
lished by Lee and Shepard, Boston. For
1 sale by John W. Pittock, Fifth avenue,
Pittsburgh. i • .
This story of American life repreaents
persons to be found in many a'ffreside circle,
and shows the drift of mind reared under
the same class of circumstances, and yet
resulting in widely different predilections.
This fact crops out from society in every
community. The story shows characteris
tics of a noble, benevolent, high-minded
physician, in striking contrast to a worldly
minded wife, with children illustrating each
others traits. The author very truthfully
illustrates the folly and bitter consequetices
of an aimless, selfish, existence, and the wis
dom of living for God and the happiness
of the human family. The work is high
toned, well written, and favorable to Chris
tianity, and reflects credit on the author.

by Prof. Rolfe, is admirably adapted for
students. The author has aimed to give an
exposition in regard to both the language
and style of Shakespeare, and to the Eng
lish language generally. It does pot, how
ever,lassume to give the whole subject of
the "English of Shakespeare." It is mere
ly an introduction to that Subject. The
book ought to be popular and widely' used.

------,---------
poem is founded upon the marriage of an
old Count, Guido Franceshini, with Pom
pilior, a beautiful Roman damsel of seven
teen, who afterward ,forsakes her husband
and goes to Rome, accompanied by a young
Canon, and is pursued and killed.• Count
Guido, and his associates in crime, were
tried and executed. The poem, as stated,
is incomplete, and needs the secend vol
ume to finish it. Guido and GuisePho are
the principle actors hi this volume, and the
character of Pompillor's conduct is not yet
fully developed as to her guilt or innocence.
It ii difficult to give the fall drift of the
unique production in a brief review. The
poem is a study, and contains passages of
rare beauty, and there is also a ruggedness
in the construction of some portions that

burgh. • '.
Works of this character for the acquisi
tion of a better knowledge of sacred Word
are multiplying, iridicating that aids and fa
cilities for the study of, the Bible are more
generally bought after than formerly.. Dr.
,Cowles has given us a work that will aid
very materially in studying Isaiah, and in s
form simple and plain, and sufficiently crit
ical to give the real meaning of thetext. It
cannot fail to prove a valuable aid to minis-
ters and Bible class teachers. It is also
eminently practical. The Introduction is a
valuable paper, and will serve to give the
salient points of the great prophet's charac
ter. The arrangement of the work is, first
a brief portion of the text is quoted, and.
then the explanatory notes follow. The
views of the author on doctrinal points are
liberal, and will not suit some; this is to be
expected. The book is finely printed.

For years we have been familiar With the
writings of this lady, and always favorably
impressed, from the fact that she has sought
to teach lessons of pure , morality of the
highest type. The object in view in this
simple narrative is to show that accountable
beings have no right to live for themselves,
but to bless society and accomplish good in
the world. It represents the story of a girl
who had, been bereaved of her mother, and
is arouse:4o action after sore trials, finds
sympathy'in a_consin, and finally the asso
