THE new State Treastirer, R W.
MACKEY, Esq., entered upon the duties
of his office on Monday last. • General
W. W. Inwra, his predecessor, retired,
leaving the finances of the Common
wealth in a position which reflects a
higher credit upon his official capacity
and integrity than may be expressed by
merely eulogistic Words. Daring his
term, he has redeemed $2,875,866 71 - of
the State loan, and his successor' finds a
balance of $1,185,134 32 cash in the
Tom Americati cotton crop averaged,
from 1856 to 1861, about 3,742,251 bales
per year. The three years since the war
show a production, respectively, of 2,522,-
694 bales for '65-6. , 2,171,716 bales for
'66-7, and 2,591,601 bales for '67-8.
These figures, in Hunt's Magazine, are
supposed to present the first accurate and
complete statement that has yet been
made. It is seen that the production is
considerably below the anti rebellion
figures, but it is increasing slowly, while
the prices of the late crop have been so
high as to yield to the plinter quite as
much cash as IA any former year.
Tali act of 1862 gave discretionary
power to the Secretary of the Treasury to
establish a sinking•fund for the gradual
liquidation of the public debt. Mr. Mc-
Cullom{ never found the public finances
so easy as to warrant him in exercising
these powers. Our new Secretary, how
ever, gives notice of his intention to cre
ate such a fund as early as July Ist, and
to appropriate from the current revenues
therefor, regularly from and after that
date. Either this means that the Treas
ury is to be more capably and prudently
administered by Mr. Botrrwrm., %that
the advent of President GRANT has been
accompanied .by a marked improvement
in the financial situation of the Govern
meat.

CARLISLE.
The Wheeling Intelligencer says: "It
is again reported irom Washington that
Mr. Carlisle is to be reappointed to the
Stockholm mission. "hat gentleman re
turned to Washington, we hear, last Sun
day; so it is fair to infer he is tumself not
without some expectations. If General
Grant and his advisers want to fill the
Republicans of West Virginia with un
utterable disgust, they cannot find a more
effective way than through Mr. Carlisle's
reappointment to Stockholm, especially
after all that has transpired and all thatis
knewn."
PLACE FUR THE CIEULUREN
The greatest sufferers by th late war
are the orphans ot these men who fell
victims to it, the adopted children of the
nation. These children, too young to
take a part in the great struggle, will as
citizens hereafter reap the advantages re
sulting from it'perhaps, as they certainly
have felt its bitterness. On the coming
30th of May, these orphans of the soldiers
will of course take part in the decoration
of the graves of their • &titers, whether
that decoration be a ceremonious or a pri
vate one. Those gentlemen who have the
arrangements, for the proceedings of that
day, in charge, should decide upon what .
part, if any, the childien shall take, and
it is desired, that the persons in whose
care they are should know, before they
make other arrangements for them, for a
day which to them is, or ought to be,
perhaps, the most sacredof the whole year.
The presence of these children cannot
fail to impart, to the most forninl proceed
ings 'of Memorial Day, that air of just
solemnity which will be most befitting in
a National tribute to their fathers, who
sleep in honored graves that the Republic
may live. In view of the general expec
tation, which assigns to the children in
blue a leading place on that day, we hope
to be enabled to acquaint our readers ere
long with the order of the commemorative
ceremonials.
OHIO RAILWAY LEGISLATION.
The new railroad-law which the Ohio
Legislature has just enacted for tbsbenetit
of Cincinnati is so remarkable in its Pr
ovisions as to ,justify abrief synopsis for
our columns. Cincinnati is not named
in the law, but it 'erpressly applies to
Dines "of the first class," haring more
than 150,000 inhabitants, and'there is but
one such city in Ohio.
Whenever majority of ths atseted
members of stif f - couseit,:idisu adopt a
trasBPRG4 4zETTE,I, NEDNESpA',T,,. MAT 5,18 M:
resolution dedliiinethilt a line r' f ran
way, to be specified - in the resolui' faa. an d
between designated termini' ,$ ease : nue
to the interest of the city,:
e Court of
Common Pleas, upon the petition of the
City Solicitor, may alr A mint a board of
five trustees.. When these -trustees shall
be duly authori•ze,3/4.1 by the vote
of a majority .••• of the eledors of
the city votrAg expressly in favor
of the coriskruction of such railway,
they . may issue bonds, in the name of the
city, for not over $10,000,000. bearing
seven and three-tenths per cent interest,
which shall be secured by! mortgage on
the road and its income, which shall be
pc•ld not-leas than par, and .the interest
of:which, with the added provision for
sicking fund, shall be met by such annual
tax as shall be needed to make up the de
ficiency of current income. The trustees
give bond to the city. They shall have
control of the finds and disburse them in
the construction of the proposed railway,
with all the powers, privileges and duties
usually pertaining to a railway directory.
A delinquent trustee may be removed by
the Court on the application of the solici
tor, or of any tai-payer, for cause
shown. They are authorized, instead of
constructing .a new line, td purchase any
existing road which may properly be
adopted as a part of the line proposed.
When the road shall be completed, the
trusteesshall lease it to any party who
will comply with such conditions as the
Council may fix.
This is the substance of the Cincinnati
law. A few days after, Toledo was au
thorized also to build a road, upon the
approval of a two-thirds vote of her
CounciLand - tax-payers, to cost not over
$450,000, paying for it at once by a direct
levy of that sum, by a !lye per cent. tax
on her duplicate. Toledo wants a road
eastward, to the broad-gauge track in
Summit county. Cincinnati wants a
Southern connection. The" , first road
would be altogether in Ohio;' the second
altogether out of the State. Either city
may undertake the work, whenever a
maThrity in one case and two-thirds in
the other, of her voters mayitpprove of it.
It is needless t 3 remark that when
either question shall be presented to the
people, it will be on issues between the
voters and the tax-payers. There is en
ugly Constitutional question which al
ready looms up, and will not be easily
put down. Nevertheless,the roads may be
voted for, and the projects will go on tut
less the Courbi shall interpose. The bills
*ere rashed=in fact, We may say, were
whirled--through the Legislature,at rail
way; speed 7 leaving discussion anon de
tails to come afterward: Of this, from the
present indications, there is likely to be
a g i ood deal.
A FRANK APPEAL. I .
It Is evident that our Democratic
friends, who think they have a right to
support the claims of Judge PACKER for
the Gubernatorial nomination, are a little
restive under the ill-disguised efforts of
some of the indiscreet friends of our own
candidate, General CAss, to crowd
them off the track. .But all parties should
exercise a little ferbeaxance with each
other. The Eistern Democracy will do
well to remember that the friends of our
own candidate think it hard that their
demands should be forever ignored,
merely because they are so unfortunate
as to be found only on the western side
of the mountains and in a part of the
Commonwealth which usually contribtites
to Democratic victories with a Republi
can majority of from ten to thirty thou
sand. It is 'we who think it quite unkind
in our Eastern friends, to insist upon
naming always the pandidate, merely be
cause they have to do the work in electing
him. It is true that our Democracy can
not do much in the way of majorities, but
they feel that, if they are to be
'forever denied any crumbs from the table
which is kept np from the party strong
holds in Central and Eastern Pluntsyl-
TIMIS, even the fervor of their princi
ples may ultimately abate, and, perhaps,
the annihilition of the western wing of
the party would be complete.' Aware
that their claims may not be pressed upon
the score of 'justice, our Democracy of
the west confidently appeal to the magna
nimity of Berko, Ltizerne, Bucks, York
and the northern Gibraltars of the party,
to forego all merely personal considers
tior3, and take them in, at least once, out
of the cold.
This petition of our friends and neigh
bors is urgently put, and it is , sustained
with touching proofs of past fidelity to
the party. For example, the Pittsburgh
Post, with a significant, frankness which
does credit to the excellence orits mem
ory sal° the charitable sweetness of its
fraternal feeling,• reminds all whom it
may concern of the clear record of the
Watern DemOcracy.. The point swell
put by our neighbor as fbllows:
The Democracy of Western Pennsyl
vania do not belong to a class who at
tempt to get up a bogus convention after
nominations are made, or show any
signs of lu.kewarmuess. •
We trust the allusion will be under
stood and heeded in the right quarters.
It will do no harm to have a better un
derstanding all round. It is not the
fault of our Democracy, or of their pro-
alivity for unpopular candidates, that, the
majorities of the "Radicals" foot up
higher and higher each year in this
quarter of the Commonwealth: Demo
cratic opinion 'here settles down into the
conviction that this ugly feature of their
Political ;record lath be fully accounted
for. by the reluctance of their t ßastern
i
Mena to roog*lluosi with *a ! !
in}the woy , of s n 41141014;
They feel that it is unfair to attrihuie this
decline, in the strength of the party here,
to those war-issues which, by .the com
mon Democrati c consent, are now ex
ploded. It may have - been true that
some of our Democracy did, at one time,
decline to support a party, or a candidate,
occupying a disloyal position which jus
tified, excused or even palliated the most
causeleis and infamous rebellion of
modern times. But hope tells now a
more flattering tale. Our Democracy
will 'insist, in the coming Convention,
that no matter how obnoxious in this
respect, the record of a favorite candidate
may once have been, that Democratic
charitY, which knows how to expand its
mantle of oblivion over the most flagrant
political sine, should, and may safely, be
spread over all his short-comings toward
the Union, so long as he stands acquit
of any shadow of infidelity to his party.
We trust that this view may prevail, and
that the Democracy of Pennsylvania will
go into the canvass of '69, nobly re
affirming the broad National doctrines
which were its pride in '6o—'62, and with
its standard committed to the hands of a
gentleman who, alone in the present com
petition, may faithfully represent them.
• On the/score, then, of generosity, of
courage, and of fidelity to sits past record,
the De'mocracy are affectionately entreated
to heed the appeals which come to them
over the Alleghenies, in behalf of one who
stands, as he then stood, faithful among
so many faithless, in this Western citadel
of the Radical enemy.
NOT MUCH OF A CONFLICT.
The Louisville Express, a new jourr al
which represents, with a good deal of per
tinacity, the reluctance of a portion of
the people of Kentucky tci permit their
inclinations to wait upon a better judg
ment, discovered, in the appeal of a ne
gro criminal to the Federal Court, "a
picttire terrible in its portentous and omi
nous outlines." It adds:
The issue is now made, and postpone
ment will not dftlite it. It will have to
be met and Settled, and may be in this
very ease. If Judge Ballard bolda, after
due consideration, that the case is prop
erly in his court, somebody will have to
back down or do something more deci
sive. We have had a terrible war id the
field, and we are now fairly in the way
to another on the forum. We see no way
to avoid the conflict if the Federal gov
ernment persists in its present policy.
But, a day or two after, the despondent
Express tholight better of the situation.
Thus :
Ins conflict of the kind suggested the
can be no doubt of the power that wo d
succeed. The Sheriff, backed by t e
posse coati/Wits of his bailiwick, and sup
ported by the Governor with all the pow
er of the State—military and civil—would
be weakness personified before the mar
shalled myrmidons of the mighty United
States. The victory would be Federal
and easily enough won; but the end
thereof, in the distant future, might not
be so easily handled. It would be a
crushing out of the powers of a sovereign
State, and the bringing about of that con
solidated government which has been in
cubating in our unfortunate country ever
since the rebellion began. It would be
the finishing stroke of that fanatical
Northern policy which is daily oblitera
ting State lines, and which must end in
despotism. * *
Take.our advice, then, august United.
States Circuit Court ! and let Conley bg
hung, as he ought to be, under the sen
tence of our State Court.
We breathe again
Bow to make Sweet Breath.
Food, to be perfectly digested, must be
taken only in such quantities as the system
demands, and if we take only natural
food, in which is the appropriate mix
ture of necessary elements, the appetite
can always be trusted to Interpret the
demands of the system, and in that case
we should never eat too much. BOt eat
ing, as we do, flodr, butter and sugar,
which have bat a part of the elements
required, these articles can only be di
gested as they are eaten with food defici
ent in the elements which . they contain,
and these ere very few. Consequently
these redundant articles, in just about
the proportions in which they are eaten,
remain undigested in the stomach and
bowels, causing flatulence and derange
ment of the secretions of the stomach,
mouth and all the digestive organs, : and
the sordes and
the teeth, bad taste in the
mouth, foulness of breath, and fastidi
ous appetite, which they always have
who live on these concentrated, carbon
aceous articles.
I have often wished-4ut of course
never dared to suggest the idea—that our
fastidious confectionary and cake-eating
young ladies, who have no appetite ex
cept tor unnatural carbonaceous food, and
whose breath is in consecitience so offen
sive to themselves as to require constant.
ly some • aromatic seeds or trix; and
whose mouth is so filled, with offensive
saliva, and whose teeth so• eovered with
sordes, that charcoal and a tooth-brush
used evary day will not keep them clean',
might look into the mouth, of a cow, a
dog, or even a pig, neither of which use
charcoal, tooth-brush or trix, and see
how clean' the month and teeth are, and
how pure the secretions, and ("angels
and ministers of grace defend us!") hots
sweet their breath is!" comparatively.
Now why Is not the breath of a young
lady as sweet as that of a—little child
who needs no more charcoal, trix or
tooth-brush than a pig? and why iis not
her appetite always as good, and her teeth
as clean? No reason can be given but
that to - which I have referred. Little
children, cows, dogs and pigs digest all
their food, and the waste ,passes off, leav
ing the system pure. The. food of the
young lady who lives on calies, pastry,
starch tinj butter, remains undigested, to
derange all the digestive functions and
secretions in just the proportion as these
carbonaceous articles take the place of
natural food. - T

NEW Yon May 1, 1869.
•MEssRS. EniFoiug: This is one of those
rainy days, dark and dreary, which wash
off the beauty of landscapes and cities,
and make NeW York itself not much
pleasanter a place than our dear dirty
Pittsburgh, under similar circumstances.
I ventured abro,ad this morning, but the
wind turned raj , umbrella inside out, and
blew my hat to. such a ridiculous way
that, tired at last of such tricks, I resolv
ed to stay at the hotel. Having nothing
else to, do, I shall, if you please, give you,
not a detailed criticism, but a general ac
count' of the first performance on this
continent 'of Rossini's "Meese Bolen
nelle. '
iThe mere announcement had drawn to
the Academy of Music one of the largest
and most fashionable audiences that ever
assembled in that temple of , music.
Whispers of greet expectation were
everywhere heard at the door. Some
long faces could be seen inside, before the
singers and musicians had made their ap
pearance. It was evident from the re
spective room assigned to the chorus and
orchestra that a great disproportion would
exist between these two most important
elements of the performance, and sure
enough, while the orchestra, composed of
about fifty pieces, did remarkably well
under the able direction. of Maretzek,
the chorus recruited by Strakosh, that
meanest of all managers, was an insult
to the memory of Rossini and a shame
to New York. All the old things
of both sexes that we have ever
seen and laughed at: in Pittsburgh,
connected with itinerant opera troupes,
bad congregate.' on the stage for the cm.
canon--no more than forty.eight in num
ber, centuries and centuries ha years.
Owing to a predilection that Rossini has
alivays shown for the contralto voice, the
part of Mme. Testa was much more hn
portant than that of Miss Kellogg.
Whether from annoyance at this feat, or
fpm incapacity, and I incline toward the
lest motive, Miss Kellogg sang to very
little advantage, and proved once more
melt, er reputation rests on very unsub
!Asada' grounds. Is to Mme. Testa,
whom you m'.at remember as the impas
alonete Azucena of Trovatore, she won
fairly a new claim to the admiration of
the public by the fervent and truly artis
tic rendition of her part. Her voice was
less tremulous and truer than I ever heard
it before. She sang with real inspiration.
The tenor, Bout;, and the basso, Auto,
lined, were well received, and justly so.
Of the work' itself I have neither time
nor room to say much. Moreover, before
expressing a decisive opinion, I should
either bear it again better rendered, or
study it from the score. However, I-can
say now, that although superior to the
Stabat as to religious character, it has not
the completeness of the former work.
The two fugues, which occurin the mass,•
and many other passages, must convince
the world that Rossini not only possessed
the gift of melody, but was also a master
of musical science. Several trite phrases,
whose sequence is guessed on the hint of a
few notes, remind the hearer that the swan
of Pezaro was quite advanced in years
when religion came to him, or else make
us regret that he did Dot so far overcome
his proverbial indolence as to retouch his
work and cancel a few common place passa
ges, which will certainly be made use of by
the unbelievers in the earnestness of his
genius to detract much from the real
worth of an admirable composition.
The vocal score I shall bring home
with me, and I intend to hat, th re e or
four pieces of the Maas s a ng at the con
oat to be given this ronth at East Liber
ty, and which will be repeated in Pitts-•
burgh for .ne benefit of the Homeopathic
RoSpital. 0, T.
A Reminiscence of the Rebeillon—The
Hampton Roads Conference.
While in Marlon, Smyth county, a few
days ago, I bad the pleasure of several
lengthy chats with Hon. Fayette McMul
lin.: Mr. McMullin says that since the
war,"he was one day in the President's
house in Washington, , conversing with
Hoti:F. Blair, Sr. Mr. Blair told him
that soon after McMullin's "peace resolu
dons" had been introduced into the Con
federate Congress, Mr. Lincoln being ex
tremely anxious to bring about a pesce,
honorable alike to both' sections of the
country, and foreseeing. - and wishing Co
avoid, the political consegstences of the mil.
itgry subjugation of the South, sent him
(Mr. Blair) to Richmond to confer with
Mr. Davis and learn what arrangement
Of the difficulties could be made. He was
passed through the lines of the contend
ing armies and conducted to Mr. Davis'
house in Richmond. After a Ong
conversation with Mr. Davis and
other prominent gentlemen for whom
Mr. Davis sent, and for whom Mn Blair
inquired, Mr. Davis said that he
bad no proposition to make. Mr. Blair
then proposed that General Lees army 14
marched into Mexico against the Amish;
that General Grant toould follow and sup--
port the movement; that She united arrnses
would drive out Maximilian and then the
Southern States should name their - oton
terms of reconstruction, . everything dhoti
of independence beingguaranteed. At Mi.
.I)avis' request this proposition was made
in writing, and, after some consultation
and reflection, was signed and accepted by
him. Mr. Blair returned to W.asiduflten,
and Mr. Lincoln was highly delighted with
the success of the negotiation. - ly was in
the htipe of consummating this arrange
ment-that Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward
met the "Peace Cotniaissioners," Honk.
Stephens, Hunter and Campbell, at
Fortress Monroe; but there, ;td Mr. Lin
celn's chagrin, the Committee, declared
that they had - been instructed to ineist
upon the independence of, the 'South, and
would listen to no other proposal. And
thus the whole eatf came to a "meet
lamerSnd Impotent conclusion-" — e°r•
Wheeling Register. ,

"Ptusortna, you are charged with beg
gintion the public street on Sunday, on
the pretense that yon were suffering from

The plan of Mrs. Phelps for colonizing
the poor sowing women of Boston in the•
anburbs of that city, where they can have
houses, gardens, fresh air, and a chance
for hesithy life, is by no means an ori
ginal one, save in its application to the
special class which this philanthropist
represents. State aid is invoked to begin
the work, but we do not understand that
anything more than a beginning and a de
monstration of the practicability of the
scheme is desired at the hands of the
State. Private benevolence and the good
will of capitalists is expected to carry on
the work of establishing these homes
when once begun. A similar movement
in favor of workingmen has been going'
on for years in Europe, and, as one of its
results,we find in the London Naos an.
accout of an enterprise near. London,
which is very like MS& Phelp's scheme
in some of its features. The "Suburban

built at Loughborough Park, Brixton.
The houses are to be put up on an estate
of twenty-four acres, near which ran four
railways, with cheap trains for working
people. The cqmpany is organized on
the limited liability principle, for the
purpose of building houses in healthy sub
urbs for the accomodatiun of the many

holders, whose rents are in a given num
ber of years to defray the coat of the
dwellings, which will then become their
own property.'• The rents thus imposed I
are not to exceed those now paid for
houses of like size and character. The
first village will contain 650 houses, each
having a garden, arranged with a view to -
domestic comfort and sanitary require
ments; provision will be made. for
schools, a lecture hall and reading rooms. .
About 300 houses on the estate have al
ready been chosen or applied for by -
clerks and artisans, who are prepared to
purchase them upon the company's terms
and to inhabit them as soon as ready.—
