IT. S. BONDS at Frankfort, 8O
Goi closed in New York yesterday
at 135 i.,
GENERAL GRANT will be officially noti-
Led to-day, of his election to the Presi
dency, a Joint Committee of the two
Houses of Congress bearing the com
munication.
THE ENGLISH CONTENTION relative to
the rights of naturalized citizens will be
ratified by the Senate. The Alabama
treaty will be amended, but probably not
so as to be acceptable to the English
Government.
THE SENATE votes to permit the -con
struction of a bridge over the Ohio, at
Cincinnati, with spans not less than four
hundred feet wide over the channel, and
reserving to Congress the future right to
direct modifications of the structure.
ON Taunaner, Washington gossip ex
pressed a general apprehension that noth
ing would transpire as to the new Cabi
net, until the inauguration of the Presi
dent, or, at least, until the Tenure'-of-
Office question should be disposed of.
On Friday, there was "authority" for
saying_that the names of the:Cabinet are
to be announced next week. Politicians
are anxious, and the country is calm—and
each with reason.
THINK as we please, of the temper and
discretion with which certain of the Re
presentatives have maintained their con
victions of right; hold the Georgia vote
to have been really admissible or inad
missible in- point of law; yet it is non
sense to deny to the House the same
functions, co-extensive with those of the
Senate, in! the canvass of the Electoral
Tote. The points which were made by
BUTLER and ScumicK on Wednesday
and Thursday, in their appeals to the
House to maintain its privilege, are simply
incontrovertible by logic or under the
Constitution. Failing to sustain them by
an affirmative vote on the BUTLER reso
lution, the House should forthwith recon
sider and) reverse its vote excluding
Georgia the other day. ' •
Tim Ohio Institution for the education
of the Deaf and Dumb, located at Colum
bus, was formally opened, or dedicated,
on Thursday evening last, about eight
hundred persons being present on the
occasion, including the State officers,
members of the Legislature, and officers
of
,the public institutions. The building
is one of the finest and largest in the
country. The estimated cost is $625,000.
A gentleman of this city, who was pres
ent at the opening exercises, which took
place in the magnificent Chapel of the in
stitution, describes the scene and the per
formances in glowing terms, particularly
the exhibition of pantomime, illustrative
of the language of Mutes, several of the
inmates acting stories and the Superin
tendent interpreting to the audience. The
charity is a noble one, and the State is
worthily administering it.
Tim present capital stock of the Erie
Railway is $57,765,300; its preferred stock
$8,546,000—t0tal $66,301,300. This ag
gregate has been in part reached by the
issue, within thirteen months past, of
$33,000,000 of conyertible bonds, which
have accordingly, been sold, at forty
per cent. and upwards. This explains
how that ring has come by the money,
which it is now lavishing right and left.
Indeed, one of its leadi6g members re
cently testified, at Albany, in effect that
it would be death to them to stop their
paper-mill. Their expenditure has been
mainly for railways and newspapers, with
nearly all of these, especially such as
are situated in Pennsylvania, substan
tially worthless for assets.
The capital stock of the New York
.Central was $28,706,000, but the recent
eighty per cent. addition swells the total
to about $54,000,000.
The stock of the Hudson River road
now stands at $16,012,899.
Loox at the incousistencies involved in
the action of the Joint Convention of
Congress, last' Wednesday ! For exam
ple, upon_ the question whether, or not,
Georgia is legally a State, and so entitled
to the Canvass of her Electoral vote, the
two. Houses disagreed : the Senate, which
declined to admit the - Georgia Senators
because she is net yet a State, now voting
to receive-her Electoral ballots, because
her State rights are forfeited, and the
House, which hhs given seats to the
Georgia Representatives because Georgia
is a reconstructed State, now rejecting
the Electoral vote because Georgia is not
reconstructed as required 'by law. Fu•
ture consistency, therefore, requires the
Senate to admit Messrs. Hrta, and MIL-,
LER at once, and the. House should turn
out Georgia's pseudo-Representatives
neck and heels.
Again, the vote of the House rejecting
the Georgia ballots, on Wednesday, in
effect committed that body agignst the
Georgian claim to perfected reconstruc
tion, and yet the same body now hesitates
to assert its unabated and equal right,
with the Senate, to take such position
as the judgment of its own majority may
approve.
Again, by EDMUNDS' resolution, both
Houses agreed beforehand that the
Georgia question should be dodged, when
encountered. Yet the moment that it
really loomed up before the Convention,
each House made haste to vote, separately
upon its merits, and committed them
selves on opposite sides. If the ED.
Mumsresolution meant anything, it
meant an evasion, and was itself promptly
repudiated, when the pinch came, by a
decisive yea and nay vote in each House.
It has been the impression that Con
gress would remand Georgia back to her
provisional government, with' JostruA
HILL for the Governor. Hew will it
look for the Senate to take that action
now, after its decision on Wednesday to
admit the vote of the State
It is simply impossible so tb adjust the
Georgia question now, that either one
House or the other can avoid taking a
square back-track.
THE NEW WATER WORKS.
A few weeks azo we gave, in these col
umns, a pretty full synopsis of the Pre
liminary Report of W. MILNOR ROBERTS,
Esq., on the subject of the proposed new
water works for Pittsburgh. and doubt
less many of our readers have seen and
carefully examined the full report. So
we need not enter anew upon the details
of that subject.
At the meeting of the Councils of Alle
gheny City on Wednesday evening, a
memorial was presented and read, asking
that negotiations be entered into with the
Councils of Pittsburgh, to effect, if possi
ble, some just and materially advantage.
ous arrangement, under which both cities
may unite in the enterprise, and thus se
cure for all time an adequate supply of
pure Water, A copy of that communica
tion will be found in oar columns this
I morning.
It will be recollected that Mr. Ron Errs
suggests in his report—and we think
wisely—the creation of a water power for
the Purpose of pumping up the water, as
is done at the Fairmount works at Phila
delphia, at a cost vastly below that of
steam. 'this would require the erection
of a dam across the Allegheny river
somewhere at or above Negley's Run.
Now, suppose Pittsburgh should adopt
that plan, which is probable, then Alle
gheny.will be obliged to do one of two
things—either negotiate with Pittsburgh
for a supply of water from that source at
a disadvantage, or continue to pump by
steam power for all time to come ; for it
:is not possible to erect more than one
dam. If Pittsburgh should secure that
one, then Allegheny is out.
The questions, therefore, that the gen
tlemen signing this communication have
raised are these: First, Would it be bet
ter for the two cities to carry out this im.
portant and costly enterprise jointly, or
to go on as heretofore, each pumping up
its own water 7 . and, secondly, Would it
be wisdom on the part of the people of
Allegheny to let go the only chance they
ever can have of securing,\on equal terms
with their neightors, the\use of. water
power, for throwing up their supply ?
:Let them be carefully and dispassionately
considered.
PRECIOUS 'LEGACIES.
Through all the agitations and convul
sions of modern times, Spain has main
tained a sinister rePutation for immov
ableness. It has apparently been lege
swayed then any other European nation
by the general progress of ideas, whether
in the field of abstract speculation or in
the realm of practical Investigation. Its
immobility has at once inspired wonder
and excited contempt.
Still,-to careful observers, signs hay . e
not been wanting thit underneath the un
rippled and placid surface of Spanish so
ciety, a profound ferment was going on,
analagous, in all respects to. that felt by
other civilized communities. Thinkers
reached this conclusion by the shorter cut
of analysis, inferring that mountain bar
riers were just as incapable as narrow
friths of stopping the spread of opinions.
Each age has its peculiar manifestations
of views and purposes. Majorities every.
where sympathise, in a greater or less de
gree, in the new Impulses. Even minori
ties . are impregnated to a larger extent
than they are willing to confess; perhaps,
than they are distinctly conscious of.
Whatever is in the atmosphere, finds its
way into the lungs, and thence into the
circulatory system, of all individuals, the
adherence or assimilation of the unusual
properties varying according to the
syncraeies of eack man, woman and
child.
The governing classes of Spain, -in
Church and State, have known something
of this; but not much. Necessity for
Ifitrsßt GAZETTE ; gATURDA
constant repression, both in politim and
religion, were laid on them, but they mis
calculated the actual forces by which they
were confronted. It is almost always so
with dominant castes, in those decisive
periods when their prerogatives come to
be challenged. When Manny. started,
the Pope was altogether ignorant of the
degree to which the ground on which he
rested had been undermined. Louis
PHILLIPE summoned the representatives
of foreign powers, to see how easily he
would suppress the disturbance that shook
down his throne, and sent his dynasty
into exile. In the United States, there was
no statesman that forecasted aright the
issue of the long debate that preceded the
Rebellion. Only THEODORE PARKER,
using his pulpit for a perch from which
to gain an outlook, decided in advance
that it was time to put his surplus money
into powder and balls. When did not a .
great national convulsion come as a thief
in the night? The earthquake does not
send couriers before it, to tell of its ap
proach.
The development of ideas is as silent as
any other process in Nature--as that im
perceptible change by which all the par
ticles of each human body are taken
away and renewed; thus making a new
being, while not impairing identity or
destroying self-consciousness. The peo
ple of Spain submitted to spiritual and
temporal despotisms, and in ways 'that
seemed to signify they were pleased
therewith, long after all substantial foun
dations for such despotisms had been
taken away. Freedom of assembly and
of the press not existing, the people
were without the best means of arriving
at such an understanding of, the drift of
popular opinion as to make concert of ac
tion possible. They had to feel their way
cautiously, through furtive and casual
contacts, and by that intellectual and
moral magnetism, which,l subtle and im
palpable, is yet unerring" and ample in
the guesses, if not absolute knowledge, it
imparts to the more gifted natures, and
to all natures in suprenie emergencies.
But, it happened to theta as it always
happens to masses swept onward in, any
_of the great movements of the race, that
they came to understand each other be—
fore their rulers them, or what was im
pending.
• Civil and religious liberty in Spain !.
The announcement must strike as a
death-knell upon the ears of conserve.
tism everywhere. And this liberty, prox
imately as the result of a Revolution! This
latter consideration touches not a few
who are not conservatives, but who are
inclined to put undue stress upon moral
and mental instrumentalities, and to
ignore force as a relic 'of barbarism.
Doubtless, thoseinfluences which fall un
der the general designation of moral sua
sion, have their place, and a large place,
in the economy of the world.' But they
ere by no means 'exclusive of all other
sorts of instrumentalities. It will correct
errors on this head, if we consider the
whole scope and upshot of the Temper
ance discussion. Drunkenness is an ap
palling social evil. Few! families are
without one or more victims to it. Apos
tlee-have exhorted with the! most persua
sive eloquence. Organization after or
ganization has sought to secure the inno•
cent and to reclaiin the fa i . Yet the
long procession of the ruined remains
unthinned. Individuals, here and there,
have been rescued, and so great good ac
complished; but it may well be doubted,
if in proportion to population more intox
icating beverages are not consumed now
than before _the Temperance agitation
commenced. The agitation against
slavery in this' country progressed for
thirty years, drawing into it more genu
ine intellect, moral enthusiasm and un
selfishness than was found in any other
circle. Slavery is, indeed, dead, but the
blows that killed it were not dealt by or
ators' or philanthropists. It fell under
the inexorable power of war. Christian
missionaries, in their noble and self-deity
ing labors, fitly illustrate the virtues of
the gospel they inculcate; but Mahomet
and his successors, the Caliphs, made
more converts with the sword, than there
are real Christians upon the earth.
In Spain, the despotisms that had for
so many centuries rested upon the necks
of the people, could not have been broken
by moral suasion, or the development of
ideas and sentiments among the people.
Instances may be cited from history in
which the possessors of power have vol
ttntar* relinquished it to their heirs, and
gone into cloisters, or taken rank as pri
vate citizens. But these instances are
not pertinent,to the point under consider
ation.
, Cases mart also, be adduced in
which the holders 6f• power, temporal or
spiritual, have institdied retortris upon
heir own motions; but theSe cases, If
hey exist, will, upon close examination,
be found to be purely exceptional. In
general, it is safe to infer that power tends
rather to corrupt all whO hold it, unless
It be held' distinctly as delegated by the
people, and even the there will be found
abundant cause to conclude that power
is like the cotitagion of leprosy. What
would it have availed if Spanish reform-
ers and patriots had expatiated before
Queen ISABELLA, her Cardina)sand
ops, upon the excellence and necessity of
liberty ? They would only have cast
pearls before swine. People in high
places of arrogated power are always
surrounded by an atmosphere of flattery.
They hear important truth only by acci
dent. What is uppermost in the minds
of the multitudes is studiously concealed
from them. A class by themselves, they
have no sympathies or lohgiigs in com
mon with the masses, It requires the in;

terjection of physical force, which they
cannot misinterpret , or resist, to make
them comprehend that society has pro
gressed, while they have remained sta
tionary; that new thoughts and aspira
tions have been indulged, new purposes
taken root so that they cannot be torn up;
while they have been cherishing the tra
ditionary and effete systems that descend
ed to them from their fathers.
llt ever has been so, and ever will be.
This priceless boon of Freedom which
the people of the United States enjoy—
' whence came It? Was it the natural in
come of peaceful development? . Was it
borne' simply of philosophic or didactic
inculcation ? Alas! by no means. It
came into being, and had its nurture, on
battle-fields. The guns of Lexington
and Bunker Hill, of tiaratoga and York
town, gave it the right to be. Long
years of earnest and sharp discussion pie
ceded the appeal to arms. That discus
sion enlightened the people, but did not
subdue,or mollify the determination of the
British government to retain and wield
its ancient authority according to its own
pleasure. That government gave way
finally, not to reason and conviction, but
to a force that through the aid of adven
titious circumstances proved stronger
than its own. -
These general considerations, and the
Spanish example by which they are illus
trated, show what precious legacies have
come to the people of the "United States
through the war for the preservation of,the
Union. Slavery, which else might have
prolonged its existence indefinitely, went
doitn into the depths, to be seen no more
1 forever. The war power smote it, and it
perished. Nor did this issue of slavery
relate, as the Conservatives foolishly pre
tended, only 'to the enslaved race. Gi
gantic national wrongs, or great wrongs
of any description, do not visit their bale
ful effects exclusively upon their palpable
and Immediate victims. If that institu
tion crushed the slaves, it debased and
brutalized the masters. Action and re
action is the same in political systems as
in purely physical forces. Nor - was the
reaction confined to the master. North
ern sentiment was Immeasurably peryer
ta Even the sanctuary of national
jurisprudence was desecrated. On the
very altar of public justice were offered
sacrifices to demons. Nor was this de
velopment unusual. A powerful tenden
cy always exists in nations to conform 1
their political to their social institutions.
Discrepancies between the two are unnat
ural, and cannot permanently remain.
Hence, slavery While it lived was a stand
ing menace to Freedom, both political and
social, throughout the whole country.
From its ashes a thousand blessings are
destined to grow, making the republic all
free, and homogeneous in Its freedom,
and invincible because animated by mu
tual convictions and impulses.
But, let us, before' closing, use the ex
ample of Spain for another purpose. We
have seen that under the tranquil and
silent surface of Spanish life, a profound
agitation was going on. Men questioned
their own souls ; questioned Nature even
to the depths of her innermost mysteries,
and then questioned each other as best
they could under the repressive laws to
which they were subject. The result Of
these various questionings was a political
earthquake. What was demonstrated in
this country during the Rebellion, has
been demonstrated over again in Spain—
the masses of the people are in 'advance of
their nominal leaders. In , how many
other countries, does the apparent quiet
and repose of the surface, mislead the men
who occupy the posts of hOnor and power;
as to what thoughts are Seething below,
and what purposes are 'growing to ripe
and resistless consummation ?

SUFVRAGE-' -THE TWO PROPOSb.
TIONS.
As the Amendment passed the Rouse,
it read as follows:
"Be it resolved, tt:c., two-thirds of both
Houses concurring, That the following
article be proposed to the Legislatures olj
the several States as an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, which,
when ratified by three-fourths of said
Legislatures, shall be held as part of said
Constitution, namely:
"Article Section 1. The right of
any citizen of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged, by the
United States or any State, by reason of
race, color, or previous condition of sla
very of any citizen or class of citizens of
the United States. -
"Section 2. 'That Congress shall have
power to enforce by appropriate legisla
tion the provisions of this article."
This the Senate amended as below—
adopting the X Vth article on Mr. Wm
sores motion, and the XVjth on motion
of Gov. MORTON:
Be it resolved by the ,Senate and House
of Representative-9, ke., two-thirds of
both Houses concurring, That the fol
lowing articles be proposed to the Logi&
latures of the several States as an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, either of which when ratified by
three-fourths of said Legislatures shall
be held as a part of said Constitution,
namely :
Article 15. No discrimination shall be
made In the United States, among the
citizens of the United States, in the exer-
cise of the elective franchise, or in the
right to hold (Alice in any State, on ac
count of race, color, nativity, property,
education or creed.
Article 16. Who second clause,. first sec.
tion, second article of the Constitution of
the United States, shall be amended to
read as follows:
' Each State shall appoint, by a vote of
the people thereof qualified to vote for
Representatives in Congress, a number of
electors equal to the whole number of
Senators and Representatives to which
the State may be entitled in the Congress;
but no Senator or Representative, or per
son holding an office of trust or profit
under the United States shall be appoin
ted an elector; and the Congress shall
have power to prescribe the manner in
which such electors shall be chosen by
the people.
The vote in the House was 150 to 42,
and in the Senate 40 to 16, for the respec
tive propositions. One of them must
yield.
OF Triz.Supreme Court decision, in the
Oregon case, which is to the effect that
greenbacks are not legally a tender for
what is not a debt, the New York Post
observes:
"The most curious and sweeping re- ,
stilt is to destroy utterly the Pendleton
doctrine
_of payment of the five-twenty
bonds in greenbaeks. These bonds are
redeemable at the pleasure of the United
States after lave years, but payable only
at the expiration of twenty years from
their date. They become a debt only af
ter twenty years; and since greenbacks
are decided to be legal tenders only for
that which is strictly a debt, and not for
other obligations, they are not a legal
tender from the United States for the pay
ment of any obligation which is only re
deemable and not payable; such as the
Rye-twenty bonds.
TEE New York Tribune of the Bth says:
"The testimony of the President of the
Erie Railway Company, before' the In
vestigatibg Committee at Albany, ac
knowledging the bankrupt condition of
the Company, was considered a full jus
tification of the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture in preventing the Fort Wayne_road
from being swamped by that concern.
The sale of $23,000,000 of convertible
bonds at 40, and the statement tlf the
officers of the Company that unless they
can continue to issue more they will lose
control of the road, fully warrants any
solvent road in keeping out of their
clutches by any,means they can bring to
"
Tins, from the Cincinnati Commercial,
hits the mark
"If there is good sense and common
honesty at Columbus concerning the va
rious railroad', bills before the Legisla
ture, there will not be any hurry in
making laws of any of them. We do
not wish either the Erie or the Pennsyl
vania Central road to have a monopoly
in Ohio, and all the restrictive railroad
legislation now proposed should be re
garded with vigilant suspicion,' as pre
pared In the interest of one of the great
rival roads, and therefore improper.
TUE Harrisburg Telegraph makes Ibis
nteresting statement:
The expense of the present House of
Representatives will be over fortyyour
thousand dollars tess than it was during
former years, and that too when the
Democratic party was in power. In ad
dition to all that, the appropriations for
different objects will be about one million
less than were formerly appropriated,
and, notwithstanding this reduction, the
appropriation for all proper objects will
be liberal.
A Fact for the Lite Insured
A circumstance has recently come to
our notice unknown to the great mass of
insured and which should be known to
all who venture on the ,vast lake and
broad ocean, where men and ships may
go down with no one left to tell the story
as evidence that , any person or persons
were lost.
A ship, having for its Captain one
whose life was insured in a Philadelphia
office, with.,the privilege of going by sea
or land to any part of the world, sailed
from Glasgow, Scotland, for Bombay,
December 3, 1807. Nothing has since
been heard of vessel or crew. December
3, /808, the vessel:was considered lost by
the companies insuring, it, and the cargo
insurance was paid, one. year from the
time of sailing being the rule.
On examination, it was forma that that
life policy was without a precedent in
this country or Europe, as far as could
be ascertained by those best posted in the
States. Seven years would be proof of
death and all-tliis time the annual premi
um would be demanded of the party
holding the policy, who would, during
the entire period,. be deprived of the use
of the money, and thus at the time the
widoW_and fatherless most needed the
money, they would be denied it. Persons
having policies, and who may cross ocean
or lake, should see to them In this respect.
Contrary to all known precedents and
all rules of companies the loss in the
case referred to was promptly paid,
much to the credit , of the company.

One of the most accurate ways of determining

Its Location, Population, Advantages, t‘c.
LCorrespondence of the Pttt•burCh Gazette.]
NEw BRIGHTON, February 12, 1869.
New Brighton is situated on the Big
Beaver river, two and a half miles from
its junction with the Ohio river. It is
twenty-nine miles from Pittsburgh, and
three • miles from Beaver Town; the
county seat of Beaver County. The Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway
passes through the town, thus affording
from five to six opportunities of going to
and returning from the e ty daily. ,
The:situation of the town is very good"
whether we have reference to business
or a pleasant home. The landscape is
beautiful, especially in summer and au
tumn, when the foliage and fruits of the
trees and gardens add their coloring to
the scene as well as impregnate the at
mosphere with healthful and pleasant
odors.
The town occupies three planes, each
rising above the other as you go back
from the river, forming little bluffs run
ning parallel with the river. With the
exception of these bluff, the streets are
not far from level.
The mills, of which I will inform you
hereafter, are on the river bank - -and
driven by water.
The principal part of the business is
on the second plane; th'e third is occu
pied mainly by private residences. The
town is over a mile long and about a
mile wide, and is divided into three
wards.
The population is about 4,500, made up
principally of Americana, with a sprinkle
of English.

ZDErCATIONAL ADVANTAAAES.
Our public schools are graded the same
as in the cities. Buildings are
,good,
perhaps a little crowded, as the rising
generation is quite numerous.
Besides the public schools we have a
select school for girls, taught by a lady,
and the "Kellwood" School" for boys,
(Rev. Mr. Taylor's) which does quite a
tine busineiis In the line of preparing
young men for College.
This would be an excellent place it is
thought fora Female "Seminary." There
is a suitable building, originally built for
that purpose, as I understand, but has
been used as a "Retreat" for invalids
and lunatics, It is for sale, the proprie
tor feeling too much the effects of age to
continue that kind of business. A Semi
nary or College should be made of it.
Here is an opportunity for persons who
desire to be useful to their fellow im
mortals. They who,einploy their time
and talents in aiding in .the intellectual
and moral development of those who
will have, to a large extent, the mould
ing of the minds and characters of the
next generation, deserve to be remember
ed among,the benefactors of our race.
In my next article I will E huw up the
business advantages of the place.
Yours, (e..c., C.

NEW YORK, February 12, 1869
The U. S. sloop of war Canandaigua,
commander Strong, from Gibraltar, No
vember 10th, arrived yesterday.
A report is in circulation that Ophilus
C. Callioott, who was sent to the Albany
penitentiary some time ago, had received
a pardon from the President. The rumor
is, however, not traced to an authentic
source.
Michael Quinn was killed by falling
from the front platform of ari Erie street
Jersey City car, the wheels of which
passed over his body. Quinn is theyoung:
man who a short time since acquired
`considerable notoriety by marrying a
young Chicago school girl, who was spir
ited,away from him by her relatives.
It having become evident that neither
of the cases in whio Blaisdell is de
fendant can be -tried at this term of
Court, it was decided Thursday to send
him to Sing Sink to serve out his three
years' sentence for whiskey frauds. He
seemed surprised at being sentenced
longer than expected. He said, "Its
hardly worth while to send me, as I ex
pect a pardon by Saturday, or Mon
day certainly, at the farthest."
—Governor Brownlow has issued a
proclamation stating that he has given
the certificates of election to Tillman and
Smith, the Republican candidates for
Congress in the Bedford and Memphis
(Tennessee) districts, He arrived at
the result by throwing out the votes of
certain counties and districts. Both
seats will be contested:
—Governor iirownlow, of Tennessee,
has tendered his resignation to the Leg
islature, to take effect on the 27th inst.
—A. special says it is expected General
Sherman will be offered and accept the
position of
,Alinister . t6 England.
