POVULARIZING THE • LIGHTNING.
When the Athuttic telegraph cable was
first thrown open - to public use the charge
for a single message of twenty, words
from New 'York to Liverpool, or London,
was twenty grounds. For a time this
enormous rate was wihered to, but at
Length the directors of the Company dis
covered that the business dropped off with
the novelty., and concluded to popularize
the cable by reducing . their rates. - This
they did, and the reduction was followed
by an immediate increase in business.
Several times, since then, other slight re :
ductions have been made, and the receipts
of the CoMpany have continued aieadily
to increase. And now we hear of a still
further reduction, so tat a message of
ten words or leis can be sent to England
for ten dollars in gold and one dollar
(gold) for every additional word. By ,
these means the cable company accom.
plishes - two objects. It becomes popular,
as it never before has been,' and estab
lishes a regular line of customers among
the great body of merchants on both sides
the-ocean, and it reduces the rates to so
low a standard that the new French cable,
when completed, will be unable to pay all
the expenses of its construction out of
the first fearmonths' profits, as its, now
ipewerttil, English rival did.
But the price of a cable telegram Is not
even yet as low as it should *and we
confidently look for the time to come
when a message from London to Ban
Francisco will not cost more than five
.dollars, •if it costs that. With the com.
Tietion of the French cable active cm*
petition will begin, and it will not be
-very long before the three cables will be
:found to be inadequate for the inter-con
tinental work, and in lime the bed of the
ocean may be gridironed with twisted in
sulated wires as the upper world is with .
rails.
OUR FAST-ANCHORED CREDIT.
Apropos to the financial pressure In
London, in which our own nionetary cir
cles have sympathized so much as to carry
gold up and the public funds down with
a rapidity which has started the unre
flecting part of the American public, the
money article of the Philadelphia Ledger
very pertinently observes:
"It seems probable that the foreign
market cannot at present be relied on for
sustaining Governments. Prices must
depend on the public credit at home.
Congress has done what it can to assure
creditors of the national integrity—that
it means to pay its interest, and to pay it
in gold, and this Is implicitly believed to
be its purpose, If it can; and it can if
there Is a proper regard for economy in
the administration of the Government
erpenditares.'t ,
Our (*temporary's inference would
be more the ler just since it is not ex
pressly preserited,—that our public credit
is becoming already too well established
to stiffer to any extent by these temporary
flurries on the European Exchanges.
Neither the French Bowie, nor Thread
needle, nor Wall streets have to-day the
power to impair that credit, or even to in
flict more than an ephemeral detri
ment upon the financial interests of our
public at large.. The ups and downs of
temporary emergencies in London''or
Paris, are instantly felt in. Wall street,
and are invariably discounted, on the in
stant, at colisidentbly beyond their in
trinsic value. The "street," goes wild....
and has a speedy recovery. No
one but a goose could imagine any,

of the Americtui , Treasury. The

credit good by paying a solid gold inter

settled and honorable policy, their

These are precisely the conditions which
now' give to American fonds the "call",

LIVING THOUGIITS.
Comparatively few are aware of J. R.
FOSTER & Co's. Pittsburgh Publishing
Agency having been established In our
city. These enterprising publisherahave
placed upon our table "Living Thoughts
of Leading Thinkers," by Rev. S. P.
LINK, A. M. The work Is a Pittsburgh
enterprise, and is elegantly gotten up.
The typography is very fine, paper richly
toned, and the volume is robed in
tasteful 'binding. We. have care
fully examined the selections of poe
try and prose, and find that the
author has exercised fine taste, as well as
proper discrimination. Every depart
ment of thought is represented in the vol
ume. Aisne of the best quotations are
from the writings of residents in this
community, and from the press of , this
city. It will be a surprise to many to
read the breathing thoughts of familiar
names in this, community. Altogether
the work is a success, and ought to coin.
maid a large sale by careful canvassers.
The book is dedicated to Rev. B. J. Wit.-
sox, D.D., Professor in the Western
Theological Seminary. The talented
author, we believe, resides in. Allegheny
City..

Wtitsitukrrox, PA., May 9, 1869.
With us these are eventful times. For
months liwo questions have been agitat
ing our whole community... Will the
Chartiers Railroad be built? Will the
United College. Washington and Jeffer
son, bo 'boated here? Both are answered
in the affirmative. Of course we are re(-
joicing, and are indulging in high antt
clpation of the brightness of the future
now befdre us.
,
.Already a spirit of enterprise and im
provement is manifesting itself. New
buildinge are going up, and old proper 7
ties are being repaired and beautified.
Town lots are in demand and are bring
lug advat3ced prices.
The College question is being ventilated
through the columns of our papers. Our
CanonsbuLrgh neighbors are not feeling
pleasantly. It is not to bo wondered at.
They have had the College so long, and
have been so dependent upon it, that its
removal from them is regarded as a dire
ful calamity. They imagine that they
have lost their all. We really sympa-
thize with them. But the mode they are
adopting to obtain redress is to be depre- -
cated--It is not wise for them, neither can
it result otherwise than in damage to the
College, fcir which they profess so strong
an attachment. Its location at Washing
ton is the fair and legitimfite result of a
plan to which they themselves cordially
agreed. The Board of Trustees did it In
exact accordance with a legislative enact 7
ment—d id it by u two-thirds vote. Wheth=
or it was wise action or not, is an open
question; but that it was fair and in good
faith; no one ought, we think, to feel him
self at liberty to doubt. To impugn the
motives of the mon who cast the majority'
vote is, to say tho least of it, not charita
ble. It ought not to be done. No good
can come from such a course—naught but
evil. The writerief this has no personal
interest in the matter whatever; takes no
part In the controversy; would be glad,
If he could, to have the blessing of a
peacemaker. He believes in the wisdom
of the book that says, ' , An angry man
that stirreth up strife, and a furious man
aboandeth In transgression."
A little patience seasoned with, tbe ,
spirit of forbearance will soon make all
right. An effort is now being inaugurat
ed to make an appeal to the citizens of
this county and people abroad to con
tribute the means to erect such buildings
as the United College .must have to.ena•!
hie it to do successful its work. This
appeal ought to meet a hearty response 4
At the coming Commencement Dr:
MoCosh, of Princeton, and Rev. Nichollt4
D.D., of St. Louis, are to deliver the ad

—ln the Massachusetts Legislsture„on
the 7th, the Senate Committee on woman's
right to vote submitted a favotable re
port. The galleries were filled at the
time with women who were bravely re
strained by propriety from giving a
round of cheers. The report reonmmen..
ded an amendment to the constitution

section relative to suffrage. One member
of the . committee, the Rev. Mr. Dawes

The Murray silk mills, owned by
Ryle & Co., in Patterson, N. J., took fire
on Monday afternoon and were entirely
destroyed. LOW $250,000; no insurance.
About a dozen 'tenement housee adjoin
ing, occupied by mill operatives, were
also burned to theground. The flames
communicated to the Catholic Church
near by, but were extinguished before
great damage was done. The fire origi
nated in Morris' rag shop, next to the
mill, and it is thought was caused by
spontaneous coMbustion. 'Otago num
ber of exnployes" are houseless, and,
thrown out of employment.

THE REASON WILY
Dr. Keyser's Blood Searcher Is the best. It Is
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 before that
time. The eliminating organs carry out the
worn.out and used-up material. and new matter

months treatment in this way would not at the
outside be more than ten dollars, and, frequently
