OUR 'RIVER NAVIGATION.
The Parkersbnrg Times is Wormed
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company will soon have trains running
from Baltimore to Cincinnati without
change of cars. -
We shell heartily congratulate die
I friends of that great corporation upon
their attainment of any increased facili
ties, for their own interests and for the
public accommodation, but only when
these are secured with.a just, regard for
the public rights. The paragraph quoted
intimates, in the most delicate manner
possible, that the new railway-bridge at
Parkersburg is to be "soon" completed
fbr use.,
.In the construction of this
I bridge, it is well-known that needless
and ruinous obstacles are interposed in
the navigation of the Ohio River—a wide
stream which washes the coasts and bean
the traffic of eight great States. It would
hive been qtlite practicable so to have
guarded this construction as to reduce
the resulting obstacles to a minimum,
which the navigation interests
_would
have accepted as unobjectionable. This
possibility is not Unknown to the Federal
authority, to which the just objections of
the public at large, against the present
erections, have also been communicated.
Upon a liearing of parties representing
all the interests concerned in the question,
the House of Representatives passed a
resolution ordering the suspension of the
work, until the merits of the controversy
could be fully investigated. That reso
lution sleeps in a Senate Committee,
since the closing week of the XLth Con
gress., And the great railway corpora. -
tion, which the resolution would restrain,
I remains master of the situation, snaps its
soulless fingers at the great navigation
interests of this valley, and already ad
vertises, in this way, its ability to defeat
any legislation, to protect the use of a
once navigable river which these railway
directors would primp dry if they could.
We cannot forget that, at one period,
there were Senator% among them Hon.
TON, who were actively conspicuous as
champions of the navigation , interests on
this river. Shall we not deplore the mys
terious causes which have so suddenly
and completely reduced them to silence ?
Is it localise other and graver questions
of public importance have risen, to occu
py their Senatorial councils? Surely,
now that these have ' either been dhiposed
of, or adjourned to another day,
,thel
friends of a free navigation, if it has any
in that body, can find an hour to devote;
to a topic of such solid consequence to the
material prosperity of all that territory
which the Ohio drains. We appeal to
Senators,-in behalf of popular interests
which have already exhausted every oth
er channel of application for Federal re-
lief from most injurious encroachments,
not to 'close the present suction without
taking up and enacting the House resolu
tion. It cannot be put off, for have we
not been eigniticanUy advedblwmi that next
December will be too late to avert the mis-
chief, and too late to repair the damage
which, by its fatal vantage of possession,
a powerful corporation will be enabled to
perpetuate.
We,now learn tliat Senate.Counnit
tee on Roads and uanals is engaged , in the i
consideration of this subject, and that t
'adopts some valuable provisions, at the
suggestion of our vigilant representative,
We venture to suggest that their deliber
ations should be supported by seasonable
action, and that the ;resolution d! be
reported to the Senaie at . the . earliest pos
sible day, and put through by yeas and

PITTSNURGH GAZETIT: .SAITRDAY; MARCH 27,,1: ;
the opening chapter in •whit, but - for
GRAICT and the hopeful popular expecta
tions, will again be the wretched histdry
of, another „Indian war. Our Agents de
fraud these unhappy dependents upon our
arbitrary power ; our traders cheat them,
our pioneers rob and kill them at every
cowardly oppdrtunity ; we ruin their
hunting-grounds, demoralize their war
riors and corrupt their women with every
horrible vice; if we have spared to them
reservations, with promises Of protection
and. culture, our officials ,combine with
the sharp speculators of the border, to
take their corn-fields, even the sites where
their lodges are clustered, from under their
&et, so that an Indian treaty has come to
be only another name for the organiza
ption of a new raid upon every public and
rivate right of these miserable outcasts
from the faintest shadow of American
justice---the exposure of fresh carrion for
the foul birds of every grade who have
feasted for thirty years on the
plunder of every Indian tribe.
We could almost be persuaded to
say, when we recall the shameful history
of the Indian dealings from people, that
it would indeed: be a Providential mercy
to themselves, which could speedily ex
tinguish the, last -Indian life within the
limits of our "free, enlightened and gen
erous" Republic. - •
Well, President Grterr promises to
change all this. Let us bid him GOD
speed—and that quickly. He has hut to
lay the axe of authority at the root of the
mischief. That Is not deep; •it has tad
no occasion to hide itself; it stands '
up
flagrantly to public view as the knee
roots of a swamp cypress. 'Let him re
form the personal administration of In
dian affairs, by a clean sweep of every
maim* in it; there is no surer way of
catching all the rascals! Let him try
what can be done with new and honest
men!: In that sort of discrimination he
has not yet been known to make a mis
take. Let him do what we all know he
wants to do, and do it as we all know he
can, and before his official term expires
the country will have heard the last of
Indian "rings," of Indian outrages and
of Indian wars.
THE CUBAN 14,1VESTION.
We think that the statements in the an
nexed dispatch from Washington may
be relied upon. It appears that the Ad
ministration is in no danger of plunging
the country zinto premature and inexcu
sable complications, in its foreign policy,
as regards . the West Indian islands- The
dispatch says:
Tt is understood that the whole subject
was discussed at the Cabinet meeting yes
terday, when the Secretary of State asked
the advice of the President and other
members of the Cabinet. The Povern
ment is disposed to move with great cau
tion in the matter, especially in view of
the fact that, from information in its pos
session. the revolutionary party in Cuba
is by no means as formidable as repro.
sented, nor is there much likelihood of
the insurgents being able to either estab
lish or sustain a provisional government
for any length of time. The Government
is ab3o informaofticially that the Spanish
authorities at home are shipping,not only
'large numbers of troops to Cuba, but
abundance of arms and munitions of war.
Except the insurgents receive substantial
aid from-Outside sources,it is hardly
Bible that they can hold out long nit
the powers which Spain' is brie bringing to
bear upon them. Our Government sym
pathises with the Liberal party in Spain,
and many high officials here think that
the effortsof the Cuban insurgents are cal:
culated to distract and weaken the home
government; and as they believe Cuba
will' be ours in good time, they are not
disposed to interfere unnecessarily In the
present squabble:

Commonwealth vs. Samuel McKain, in

circumstances of the case are as follows
The defendant is a grocer, doing business
on. Federal street, Allegheny, and the
prosecutrix resides in the upper portion
of the bowie occupied b defendant. On
the 2841 of June, it is ale ged she entered
his store for the purpose of makingaome
purchases, when the defendant took hold
of her arm, asked permission to kiss her,
and made other indecent proposals to
her. She states that she resented the in
sult and went up stairs and informed her
mother of what had occurred, and a few
days afterwards made information upon
which this prosecution was based.. The
case was a very tedionsone, and occupied
the attention of the Court for the greater
portion of the day, most of the time being
spent by the defense in attempting to
break down the .testimony of one of the
Commonwealth's witnesses. Messrs.
Moreland, Moore and Kerr appeared for
the defendant, and Gen. Blakely and Dis
trict Attorney Pearson represinited the
Commonwealth. Jury out.
The case of the Commoh vs.
John Sullivan, indicted for nw arsonealt ,was
next called up. The offense with which
the defendant was charged was setting
fire to the Pittsburgh Glasshouse, in Bir
mingham, on the 25th of January,lB69.
The defendant is a boy about fourteen
years of age, and from hie appearance; is
not sound of mind. The boy, after set
ting, fire to the establishment, went to
Idarysvfile, Ohio, where he was after
wards arrested, and then; it appears,
confessed to to having set fire to tne
glasshouse. The ease was submit
ted without argumeit and the Court
charged the jury that there were cases
on record where parties had been con
victed on their own confession, and it was
afterwards ascertained beyond question,
that they were innocent. It was a
matter for the jury however, and t if
they found anything in the case to onr
roborate the confession, they might find
him guilty. The jury returned a verdict
of not guilty. The Court then called the
defendant up, and, after questioning
him. stated that the proper steps for
Bending him to the House of .fitge
would be taken. The prisoner was re

arly and chaste. During the time the
yieople were gathering in the hall, and at
intervals in the evening, a band dis-
coursed excellent music.
Shortly after nine o'clock the Supper
room was thrown open and was soon
crowded. For about two hours the room
was filled, discussing the nice things on
the table. The committee had provided
liberally of subetantials and refresh
ments, such as fancy cakes, ice:
creams, pyramids, and •other . elegant
things, prepared in the mast artistic
style of the confection art. Large as
the crowd was, every one was abundant
ly supplied. It is enough to say that
the supper and refreshments were fur
nished by Jacob B. Bubbly, no., whose
reputation is widely known for furnish
ing first, class articles. The ladles in the
management were proftwe in their ao
knowledgments for Mr. Hubby's kind
ness and generosity in the matter.
We noticed quite a number of well
known educators, among whom were
A. T. Deuthett, the- popular County Su
perintendent, Prof. Burt, Mr: L. H.
Baton, and Mr. Pryor. Quite a number
of influential citizens of the ward were
quite active in making the guests happy
and comfortable,- - prominent among
whom were N. P. Reed, • Esq and G.
H. Anderson.
After supper most of the guests re
paired to the hall to dance until the
small hours of this morning.
Carpenter .Bhop Robbed.
Some time Thnnsday night or early yesi
terday morning, some thieves entered
the carpenter shop of Mr. Cochran, 9n
Frazier's alley, Flfth ward, Allegheny,
near Sedgwiok street, and carried off a
quantityof toobs,in all about fifty dollars'
worth. The thieves effected an entrance
by boring a hole through one of the
Abutters and unfastening the hasp which
held them together. After rummaging
around the shop, breaking open several
chests and stealing some-of the most val
sable tools, they departed through the
door, leaving the y
unlastened as they re
tired. There is not the slightest clue
which might lead to the detection of the
depredators.

EXAMINE BEFORE CONDEMNING.
One of the most important considerations to
those wao wish to live happily, is that of human
health; a fact well known and deeply deplored
by all who have lost or had It 'impaired. We
know well enough that the thousands of com- •
pounds for its - restoration are in many instances
merely the inrentions of those who desire to be-*
guile the public and enrich themselves. It there.'
tore becomes those who do not wish to beim.
posed upon, to examine ; the proof of the ellicacY
of a medicine, before trusting to Its meilts, '.,
tamperitur with their health, DR. ICEYSER'S
BLOOD SEARCHER, a tit* class of diseases for
- which he recommends it. Is without a pAer or a
rival. It stands solemn blood purifying and a:-
terative medhsine, as the Alps among mountains,
overtopping them. The rich vegetable julees of
which It is composed are sure to renew the blood
and re - invigorate the frame of man. We wish it
understood, however. that we speak solely of
chronic diseases-and those, which here their
origin in a depraved and eutectic state 'of the;
system. We would much rather thst not one bet
tle of this great Blood Searcher should ever be' .
sold, than it should not do good: and in ewerF
case to which It is suited, It will do good. There •
are thousand, of readers of the GszErra who •
have some slight indisposition or ailment bean.
vezdencing or interfethig with the enjoy. •
meat of life, who could be cured by the
use of less than a. bottle of Dr. Xey.
ser's Blood Searcher. Especially is this
true at this season of the year, whewthe'powenis
of Ore. like the changes of the seasons, are -
emerging from the state of winter to spring. and
spring to summer. The dollar that you expend
'to buy It will be regarded as of little conseetunce
when placed In the Scale with that renewed ea. -
ergy and elasticity of health which. It will besore
to impart. And besides, the tone which It gives
is 'lasting and real. wholly unlike the fiery and ,
spasmodic glow imparted by most alcoholic
stimulants; fur whilst these corrode and depress
j.
the sy.tem When their stimulating effects, have:;
passed oir, that inylgoratesshe stomeObi renews. ;
I ' B l4l l psereyKle its Inititted coats,-.and
enables it te coneociand convert lute Chile the
food schlch Is r.ceived into It for that end. No •
one can over -estimate the value to health of a
single bottle of Dr. Geyser's Blood Searcher at
,shi n seas on of the year. It will make lifeand _
health to bloom under its influence like the g eniai
rays of the sun invigorates and starts Into We
