TES CUM of Hon. GEIORGE WILIKOT
Will be presented for nomination to
the State Senate to supply the place made
- vacant by the resignation of CoL Russum.
Ennxru. Mr. WusoN has long served
his constibaents in the lower House, and
if elected to the Senate would carry with
him into- the discharge of his duties a
large experience and legislative tailing.
TEn Pittsburgh Lega Zettrnd,' makes
its appearance as a handsomely printed
weekly, in the quarto form. It is owned,
published and edited by thirty members
ef the Allegheny bar, and solicits "the
Asubstantial and generous support of the
profession," which cannot but and its
digest of current legal intelligence of much
'mine. The text of important decisions
will also be Riven when practicable.
Ms. Dea'A, of the Bus, has succeeded
in making the name of Mr. J. Rusam.r.
Torso as familiar, perhaps, to the people
of the country, as that of any other jour
nalist on the continent. When the na
ture of the alleged crimes of •the young
Man are considered. we think, he has par
chased '
notoriety cheaper than at ordinary
rates, and that Mr. DANA himself, if an
enemy to him, must regret the intermed.
dling which so extensively advertised his
journalistic competitor.
IT Is probable that the thirty thousand
miners, in . the anthracite - coal-fields of
Luzerne and Schuylkill, *ill suspend
work before the end of the current month.
It isliven asserted that this m ovement is
Allured alike brthe employers and the
.employed, who apparently concur in an-
tiOpathw•an advance in prices and wages
from a general strike. Rumors of a aim
proposition, for the suspension of
work among the operatives, come to us
from the bituminous districts near the
Ohio border.
DzcossTron DAY, the 30th inst., will
be appropriately observed in this neigh
borhood by our patriotic ladies and gen-
Ilemen. We learn that in order to make
• appropriate arrangements for its proper
aonor c and observance, there will - be

idon and contribute their mite towards
paying a fitting mark of tribute to the
I memory of our gallant soldier dead. '

perceived that the election of a compro
mise candidate will not be fhvorable to a
healthy and vigorous Republican senti
ment. It is likely, therefore, that not a
few of the bolters from the regular Re
publican organization will ultimately
withdraw from so dangerous an alliance,
and, surrendering their personal feelings
to a higher sentimentof patriotism, will
come in to the sup
,rt of . the WELLES
p l .
ticket. The election of Warana mainly
by "Conservative" votes, is regarded as
sure to result in his own submission to
influences which will be inimical to the
best interests of the State. The compro
mise, first simplYfying the issues down to
a square fight between only two parties,
wilt then tend to swell the regular Repub
lican maks with gradual accessions from
among ail good Union men who are not
at home in any rebel cOmptuiy.
WIEEN the Governor of Kentucky,
last 'week, respited a criminal condemned
to death, his official communication was
enclosed in a note to the Sheriff, from an
assistant, in the office of the Secretary of
State, who kindly favored the public with
hie interpretation of the respite, as "given
merely for time to prepare for death."
The respite was, no doubt, a wise exercise
of the Executive clemency, but the com
mentary of his clerk thereupon hardly
comes, we take it, within the ordinary '
standards of. Executive duty. We doubt ,
if Governor Sisvitzmon was either aware
of this superfluous expression of opinion
by his subordinate, or would thank him
for impertinently thrusting in such a sug
gestion of the Executive motives. The
under-Secretary could have devised no
better plan to draw sharp and unmerited
criticisms upon the really dignified and
gracious act of the Chief Magistrate, than
to accompany it with his own Bend-offi
cial and altogether inexcusable explana.
tion. Without this, there would have
appeared nothing, upon the record of
the case, to challenge public attention
to any possible conflict between the State
and Federal authorities.
It seems that colored testimony was
admitted upon the trial of the criminal,
himself and his victim having both been
black, and the appeal to the Federal Court
has been taken on other points. What
ever these points may be, it is evidently
considered, by the Governor, quite
enough that such an appeal has been
entertained, and he cannot bat await its
decision with the same acquiescence which
the authorities of Pennsylvania would
have shown, had a similar appeal been
entertained, by the United States supreme
Court, in the recent case of the murderer
Twrrcnnu,.
SUPERINTENDENCE OF SCHOOLS
In the-Pertsylvania &hoot Journal the
State Superintendent of Common'Schools
gives, at. length,, his views on County
Superiniendents and his ideas concerning
them. He thinks scarcely any other elec.
lion should so deeply interest the people,
and that we can better afford bad govern
nient anywhere else than in our common
schools. "Good schools make good rill
sena, and good citizens are necessary to
the very existence of the S te." Penn
lylvania has 850,000 children , in her com
mon schools, and annually expends more
than : $6,000,000 for the purpose of in
structing them. The proper education of
these children and judicious expenditure
of this money depends greatly 'upon the
County Superintendents, therefore every
community should see that the beet man
is chosen for the place.
Every member of the conventions
about to elect these officers shinid care
fully consider two question : What .
qualifications should he possess? and
what salary slioniti be paid Um'? The
superintendent should possess proper
physiell, moral, intellectual and profes
sional qualifications; that is, he should
have gpod general health in order to be
able to attend to his rural districts, in do:
lag Which he.mnst be exposed; he.should
have tidiplores from some 'qualified col
lege, normal school or State Superinten-,
dent; he should not be merely guiltless of
gross immorality, but should be a Chris
tian gentleman el tact and administrative
ability with a suctessfhl experience in
teaciing. If 'directors can find in a
comity a teacher devoted to his profes
sion, who always attends Teachers' In
stitutes, who reads works on education,
who, advocates common schools, who,
like RICIITER, "loves God and little
children," who, in short, is something of
an enthusiast in his work—he.in ail prob.
ability lithe man to make superintendent,
even though he has not been to college.
In answei to the second question, what
salaries shoild superintendents be paid ?
the State 'Superintendent epitomises
long reply into this:
"Superintendenti of schools ought to
be paid liberal salaries. In some of the
counties of the State their salaries 'are
now shamefully low. Good °Marti call
hardly ,be paid too moat and we had
tter have none at alt the to have poor
ones."
TENNESSEE COAL.
The extent of the Tennessee coal field
has been very imperfectly known, With

sures are geologically high, tonstitutirtg
an elevated stratum in that region known
as the Cumberiatul table lands. The
beds are irregular in thickness, but
usually the veins will bear profitable ,
working, while the quality is for the
most part good,-not very highly bitumin
lz,ed, but solid and burning freely. The
veins are frequently laminated by leaves
of mineralcharcoal. • The Sewanee al is
semi-bituminous 6 very fine, and slacks
easily. This coal, and that from the
Chattanooga district, are extensively
. worked and favorably known. Theiceal
belt extends across the State from North
to South, along the diViding line between
Eastern and Middle Tennessee,. and is
everywhere accompanied by depOsits Of
clay iron -stones, in greater or less quan
tity. The veins are usually worked by
lateral - drifts, being above the beds of the
water-courses. Much the largest portion
of the field is convenient to water`and rail
way carriage. The work of development
is scarcely yet begun, the native popula
tion showing the smallest appreciation of
'the true value of the mineral wealth un
der their feet. Nearly all the mining, at
present, is conducted by immigrant cap
ital and energy. Theentire field abounds
with the most promising openings for
speculative enterprise, such as must, ulti
mately, be occupied with large profit.
The climate of the district is peculiarly
genial, labor is abundant, and the rights
of person and of, property obtain a more
complete respect than in any other por
tions of the State, or indeed of the entire
South-west. •
AN 'EXAMPLE FOR UN.
Under their old Constitution, of some
fifteen years ago, the people of Ohio, by
townships, municipalities and counties,
were permitted to extend their public
credit to any railway projects which,
upon a direct popular vote, could secure
a majority for proposed subscriptions to
their stock. Under an affirmative vote, the
subscription would be made and paid for
with the proceeds of the local bonds
issued for the express purpose. This
popular privilege was so generally made
use of, that the present railway system of
that State was almost entirely created
through its instrumeinality. it will be
difficult to specify one Ohio railway,
of fifteen or twenty years existence,
which would have been constructed with
out the means - obtained through this
channel. The most profitable and the
least remunerative roads of .the State, as
they appear to-day, were alike originated
and built with the aid of the local public
credit, thus extended by the cities and
counties whose populations, not without
reasonable grounds, looked for the re
turn of their money either in dividends
or in the resulting development of their
material wealth. Because the profits ac
tually realized have very frequently been
in the latter direction only, it does not
follow that the absence of dividends has
proved the investments to have been in
judicious. On the contrary, it is believed
that not one of the counties or townships
of Ohio which put their money, in some
cases by the hundreds of thousands, into
railway subscriptioas, has failed to
realize the largest returns thereon Which
their most glowing expectations fore-
shadowed. These retunis may not have
been in dividends upon the stock, but the
increased value of lands, and of every kind
of its products, and , of their personal
property has, in every instance, been
doubled, trebled and sometimes Increased
to more than ten-fold the amount thus in
vested. In many instances, moreover,
the proved itself directly pro
ft:able, the stock being Subsequently dis.
posed of at an advance, which closed the
books with a large margin to the credit of
tax-payers. •
Bat, when the Constitution was amend
ed, some seventeen years since, these
benefits, then almost wholly prospective,
were disputed by a ; very considerable
number of the people, who protested
loudly and pertinaciously against the
great burthens of taxation with which
they seemed to be threatened. The Con
vention yielded to pis clamor,`lncorpo.
rating in the amended instrument such
restrictions upon tide' fortfof public sub
scription, as practically to end.B. -Since

but to build one,for herself, and that 'not'

gethet under a 'foreign jurisdiction.
These are questions which do not concern
us, and which may well be left for the
discussion of the interested tax-payers.
The sane Legislature authorizes Toledo,
upon a two-thirds vote of her Councils
submitting a railway question to the peo
ple, and after a two-thirds vote of the
electors in its favor, to levy a tax of live
per cent. upon her - duplicate, which
would yield $450,000, this sum to be ap
plied.to 'Ate construction of a road from
that city, connecting with the Atlantic
and Great Western, at Wadsworth.
These terms are decidedly less favorable
to the rail Way interest, than those which
Cincinnati secures, since the latter is
only required to lay a tax which shall
meet the interest and provide a sinking
fund for the redemption of the principal
of the bonds issued. - So, a majority vote
of Councils and of the electors is all that
Is required for Cincinnati. Why, these
variations occur in the later Toledo law
has not yet been explained.
A word or two upon another view of
the matter. The city of Cincinttiti is
now authorized to issue her bonds for ten
millions of dollars, to'be sold at not less
than par, with the proceeds of which a
Board of Trustees, to be appointed by
her Cowl of Common Pleas, shall pro
ceed to construct _any railway which a
majority of her voters shall have first de-_
dared to be "essential to the interest of
the city." This means that Cincinnati
intends to have at once a direct connec
tion with the great Southern railway sys
tem, intersecting it probably at Chatta
nooga, a distance of three hundred and
slaty miles. Her people are in earnest.
They will vote for Such a road ; the
bonds will made and sold—and that road
will be built. One cannot mistake the
determination of
_the people in this
matter. They mean business, and they
can and will do what they mean.
We need not recapitulate the details of
the law, which gives the requisite autho
rity to the city. Its provisions are am
ple, certainly, for all the proposed ends.
It is enough for us to know that the road
will be built with all possible dispatch,
and that Cincinnati will thus secure con
nections Of immeasurable value with
the South, alike at Charleston and Sa
vannah on the Atlantic, and lat Mobile
and New Orleans' on the Gulf. Her
eastern connections, of the most valuable
and permanent character, are thus equal
ly assured, for she becomes hereafter the
real gate-way of the Eastern, Middle and
Western States to the_ South and South
west.
Pittsburgh might profit by the experi
ence which is opening for her sister city.
The same public' spirit, the same wise
forecasts, the same resolute purpose, the
same just comprehension of attainable re
sults, with an equal or even less expend
iture of our credit, would open to us also,
through the vales, among the defiles, and
penetrating the mountains which stretch
far away to the. southwest, a connection
as profitable with the same railway sys
tem at Newbern, and would hring to us
also an infinitely greater wealth, in the
mineral resources of the region which
would thus be developed.
RAILWAY ITEMS.

The consolidation of the New York
Central arid the Hudson River roads is
hinted of. The first goes at seventy and
the other at thirty, making a total of one
hundred millions of stock, upon which a
further scrip dividend of eighty per cent
into be issued. This would be a grand
total of $180,000,000 of capital for the
corporation. Very grand, indeed!

'"The. Dearest Girls to the World. P
.
In them:lids% of the reign of the girl of
i
the period, With her slang and her boldness
-of the fashionable woman, with her de
nial of duty and her madness for pleasure
—we come every now and then upon a
group of good girls of the real old Eng
lish type, the faithful few growing up
silently among us, but none the less val
uable because they are silent and make
no display—doves who are content with
life as they have no desire to be either
eagles, dwelling on romantic. hights, or
peacocks, displaying their pride in sunny
courts. We find these faithful few in
town and country alike; but they are rifest
in the country, where there is less temp
tation to go wrong than there is
in. large towns, and where life is more
.simple and the moral tone undeniably
higher. The leading feature of these
girls is their love of home and of their
Own family, and their power of making
occupation and
c l: , ganess out of appar
ently meagre m ids. If they are the
elders, they find amusement and more in
in their little brothers and sisters whom
they consider immensely Danny, and to
!whom they are as much girinaothers as
Sisters; if they are - the youngere, they
idolize their baby nephews and nieces.
For there is always a - baby going on
somewhere 'about these hones, babies
being the great excitement' of, home
life, an antiseptic element which
keeps everything else pure. They
are passionately attached to papa
and mamma, whom they think the
very king and queen of humanity, and
whom they do not call by even endearing
slang names. It has never occured to
them to criticise them as ordinary mor
tals, and as they have not been inthe way
of learning the preceding ascent of dis
respect, they have not shaken off that al
most religious veneration for their parents
:Which all • young people feel naturally,
if they have been well brought up and are
not corrupted. The yoke in middleclass
country houses is one fitting very loosely
round all necks; and there being
to power of ' greater freedom, if
even they had it, the girls are
not fretted by its pressure, and
are content to live under it in peace.
;They adore their elder brothers who are
'from home just beginning the great battle
of life for themselves, and confidently
believe them to be the finest fellows go
ing, and the future great men of the day
if, only they care to put those splendid
talents of theirs, and take the trouble of
plucking the prizes within their reach.
They may have a slight reservation, per
haps, in favor of the brOthers' friend,
whom they place ohs pedeital of almost ,
equal bight. But they keeptheir mental
architecture a profound secret from every
one, and do not suffer themselves to let it
grow into too solid a structure unless it
has some surer foundation then their own
fancy. For, though doves are lov
ing, they are by no means lovesick
damsels ; they are too heal th y and
natural and quietly busy for whole
some dreams. If one of them marries ,
they all unite in loving the man who
'comes in among them. He is adopted as
one of themselves, and leaps into a family
of idolized sisters who pet him as -their
i brother —with just that subtle little differ
,ence In the petting that it comes from
'sisters unaccustomed, and so has the
,charm of novelty if not the excitement of
naughtiness. But this kind of thing is
;about the most dangerous to a man's
moral nature that can befall him. Though
Pretty to see, and undeniably pleasant to
experience, and though perfedtly innocent
in every way, still' nothing enervates one
so mien as this idolatrous submission of a
large familyof women. In a widow's
home, where there are many daughters
and no sons, and where the man who'
marries one marries the whole family, and
is worshipped accordingly, it is of course
increased tenfold; but if there are brothers
and a ifather, the sister's husband, though
affectionately cooed over, is not made
quite such a fuss with, andtheassmilition
is all the less hurtful in consequence.`
Doves know very little of evil. - They
are not in the way of learningit; and they
do not care to learn it. The few villa
gers who are supposed to lead 111 lives are
spoken of below the breath, and carefully
avoided without being critically studied.
Mani of the daces marry men whose
work Iles abroad; these quiet country
houses being the favorite ' matrimonial
hunting grounds for colonists and Anglo
' Indians. Bo that some are always ab

as the names are said. Doves are not
disinclined to marry men who have to go
. abroad, for all the passionate family love
common to them. Travels egolden

What Consututes a Handsome Mae.
Well, in the first place, there must be
enough of hith; or, failing in tlist, but
come to think of it, he musn't fail in that,
because there can be no beauty • without ,
heabh, or at least to my way of thinking.
In the second place, be must have a beard;
whiskers as the gods. please, but , a beard
I insist upon, else one might as well look
at a girl. Let his voice have the dash of
Niagara, with the music of a baby's laugh
in it. Let his smiles be as the breaking
forth of sunshine on a. spring morning.-
As to his figure it should be , strong ;-
enough to contend with a man, slight
enough to tremble in the presence of the
woman he loves. Of course, if he is s
well.tnade man, it follows that he must bc
graceful on the principle that the perfect
machinery moves harmoniously, there
fore, you and himself and the milk pitcher
are safe, neighbors at the table. This
style of handsome men would no more
think of carrying a cane than he would
use a parasol to keep the sun out of his
eyes. He can wear gloves or warm his
hands in his breast pockets, as he pleases.
He can even commit the suicidal beauty;
act of turning his outside coat col
lar up over his eyes on a stormy day, with
perfect impunity; the tailor didn't make
him; and as to his hatter, if he depends on
his handsome man's patronage of "the
latest spring style," I fear he would die
of hope deferred, and yet—by Apollo I
what a bow he makes, and what an ex
pressive adieu he can wave with his hand!
For all this he is not conceited, for he
bath' brains !
But your conventional "handsome
man" of the barber's window, wax figure
head pattern; with a pet lock in the mid
dle of his forehead, an apple-sized head,
and a raspberry moustache with six hairs
in it, paint pot in his cheeks, and"a• little
dot of a "goatee" on his chin, with pretty
blinking little studs in his shirt bosom,
and a little neek-tie, that looks as if he
would faint were ; it' rumpled, I'd as lief
look at a poodle. \ I always feel a desire
to nip it with a pair of sugar tongs, drop
it gently into a bowl of cream, and strew
pink rose leaves over the little remains.
Finally, my , reader, when'soul magnet
izes soul, the question of beauty is a dead
letter. Whom one loves is always hand
some; the world's arbitrary rules notwith
standing; therefor , : when yon - say, "what
can the handsome kr.. B. see in that stick
of a Miss J.?" or "what can the pretty Miss
.13: see to like in that homely Mr. C.?"
you simply talk nonsense—as you gener
ally do on such subjects. Still the parson

THE REASON WHY
Dr. Hewers Blood Searcher is the best. It fa
computed that a man's system undergoes three
times a year, that is every four months, a radical
and thorough change, that is, that -at the end of
that time nothing remains , in the system of the
material of which It was composed. beforeithat •
time. The eliminating organs carry out the
worn-out and used-up material. and mew matter
is made to take its place and , carry on the- work
ings of the_ human organism. The costof lour
Months treatment in. this way would net at the
outside be more than ten dollars, and frequently
the funct.ons of life have an activity'and vigor
imparted sufficient to renew them by the. Use of
one bottle. costirg only one dollar. No organ of
the body but will be benelltted by such a process.
The liver, the stomach, the kidneys, the skin,
the lungs, are all. as It were, !rude over, again
by the impetus given to the stomach and diges
tive system—old and prostrated people - whose
systems had begun to languish and decay., haver
been restored by Dn. KEYSER'd BLOOD
SEARCHER to youthful , health and Tier.
