—ln the meantime, the Pittsburgh Com
mercial puts publicly upon record grave
accusations against the Commissioners of
this county. These officials stand collec
tively and individually charged by that
journal, under The plainest of inuendos,
with accepting bribes in the discharge %f
their sworn duties. These accusations
should be met, promptly and squarely, by
those who are concerned.
A WELL-1(2;01M citii,en evidently re

of the Commercial's pet for Assembly, and

requires in all candidates for, public
place. Hear him:
EDITORS GAZETTE : Mr. George H.
Holtzman, for Assembly, is the subject
of laudatory commendation in Thursday's
Commercial. A year or two since he
was an attache of that paper—its presi
dent, for a period—and left, we think,
under the pressure of some disapproba
tion, but probably still has an interest in
its capital stock. These circumstances
are doubtless better known to the press
than to outsiders. It is quite possible
that the recent wholesale proscription of
the Republican party, so indignantly de
nounced by the GazErrs and other Re
publican papers, was instigated by a de
sire on the part of the Commercial to
make room for Mr. Holtzman's "integri
ty," "honesty," "fine business qu2tijipu
tie ne, " etc., by such wholesale
defamation of the party ',as would
result In shoving somebody else
out. - It has been snared in its own trap.
As Mr. Holtzman has been photographed
at the Commercial rooms; the public
could judge better of the picture if seen
from a standpoint further up - ROA street.

It is believed that all differences, upon
minor questions of detail, will be adjusted
between the Pennsylvania and the Fort
Wayne Railroad Companies, and that the
proposed lease will be agreed upon, if it
be not so already.. The lease is to be
perpetual, the Pennsylvania paying a
twelve per cent annual dividend, at
quarterly periods, upon the $11,500,000
of present capital of the other Com
pany, with the interest on its bonded debt,
and the yearly payment to the sinkh.g
fund. ft the Fort Wayne capital 'be in
creased to $20,000,000, the dii3dend
would then be about seven per cent. on
the increased sum. The Fort Wayne will
retain its company organization, and will
also divide its present cash assets of about
7* per cent. The Poit says:
Although a majority of the stockhold
ers appear to favor the measure, it is not
likely to succeed, as the President, Gen.
Cass, and several members of thelioard,
are known to be opposed to the measure,
and have been from the commencement
of the negotiations.
A' scrip -dividend of fifty per cent. is
hinted at, on the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh stock, which, it is said, will pay
eight per bent. on the enlarged capital.
A road . from Crestline, via Tiffin to
Toledo is projected, with the understand
ing that the Fort Wayne shall iron, equip
and run it when complete. paying over
forty per cent of its gross earnings.
THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK,
Secretary Botrrwita.'s new policy, the
sale of gold and the purchase of bonds,
has encountered I an awkward state of
, affairs ii the money-market,-,springing
almOst wholly out of our international
complications with England. The Lon.
don market has been disturbed for some
weeks, by the pressure of large applica
tions for loans to some of the Continental
government& The current subscriptions
to these loans have drawn down the bul
lion in the Bank of England to an em
barrassing point, and the Bank has raised
Its rate of interest again and again, to
check the speculative movements of the
market. A drain, of five millions already,
from its cash, must not be suffered to go
farther. Then came Mr. Sumisza's
speech, with ' its reasons for the
rejection of the Alabanni treaty,
and a letter from Prof. GOLDWIN
SMITH, now at Ithica, IC Y., to a London
journal, warning England to be prepared
for a rupture with America. This de
pressed our securities immediately in Lon
don. The - markets at Frankfort and
Paris, could not but sympathize. The
lowek quotatiou,daily telegraphed, should
have put the bonds down here also. In
stead 'of that, bonds and gold are both
goingnp together, the one because the
Seretatir is retiring, them at the rate of
a million per week t 'iuid ttle'other beestuie
It is to be in demand from abroad, to
pay for our.excepaiveitaations which
the present shipment Of bonds would not
Satisfy. .
The Secretary's movement was fortun
ately timed. His isales of gold, of one to
two millions per Week, willloon - siramp
the gold-room speculators, besides, more
than meeting the legitimate foreign de
mand. And his purchases of bonds sup
port the market at the most critical mo
ment it has experienced since the close
of the war.' But for the Secretary's in
tervention; gold would be up ten, twenty
or thirty per cent: higher than It is, and
our bonds would recognize the usual law,
and go down to a perhaps. disastrous
point. We trust, therefore, that Mr.
Botrrinm will persevere in his pol
icy steOil7, The present flurry will
soon blow over, and then we shall
have , a , still clearer perception-of the
proper
_efforts of that policy, - in4tnonaal

DIESSIOL EDITORS: BORIS of my per
sonal friends have been kind enough to
urge my name for nomination before the
Republican Judicial Convention, which
is toassemble on the Ist proximo, for the
position of Judge of the Court of Com
mon Pleas, and I have thus far acquies
ced in the movement, but avoided taking
'any part personally, believing as I difth at
Ju icial stations should be conferred and
no sought. I now learn that under cer
tain managenient the delegates which
shbuld properly be selected by the people,
at primary meetings to be held on
Saturday, the 29th inst., have already
been determined upon, and that the rati
fication of their selection at the so called
primary meetings, on the 29th, will-be
a mere form. _ While I was quite aware
that this was ' lmost always the course of
political proceedings in the cities. I
hoped that such was not the case in the
country: this, however, is a mistake, as
the machinery seems quite perfect in
nearly all the districts, and any attempt
to frustrate its pre-arranged management
will be entirely futile.
I therefore respectfully request that
my friends will desist from any behalf, as
the primary meetings on my behalf, as
I shall not permit my name to be used
before a Convention so selected, and with
the composition of which the people have
had so little to do.
I avail myself of this occasion to re
turn my grateful acknowledgments to
the many friends who have so cordially
and earnestly supported Me for so hon
orable a position, and to k assure them
that their generous kindness will never
be forgotten.
Very Respectfully,'
Your obedient servant.
IL BIDDLE ROBERTS.
We should print the above with a feel
ing of nnmingled
. reigret, for what seems
tans to be a causeleii declination of his
candidacy for the Judgeship, were it not
that it affords to us a suitible occasion for
a few words of commentary upon certain
errors in Which that gentleman seems to
have fallen.
We submit that Mr. Roman is wholly
mistaken in his view of the facts. Desir
ing the nomination, hehas been a candidate
in full view of the consideration that; to
be elected by the popular 'vote, it would
be needful for him to, receive the organ
ized support of one or the otter of our
political parties. Accordingly, he iden
tified himself with the Republican organ
ization and submitted his claims to his
partizan friends. He has evidently dis
covered that he has competitors in the
field, and possibly that their friends have
been more industrious than his own. He
.perhaps also finds .that the results of
the primary 'meetings are not likely to
favor his own aspirations, and that a
withdrawal in advaice is preferable to a
failure in the Conveintion. Appealing to
a popular tribunal, he would seem to
have detected an adverse judgment be
fore it is pronounced, and so abandons
his case, even before it has been fully
heard upon its merits. This is not as it
would have been, if he. had -avoided
that mode of trial altogether; as
if _he had not gone before the
popular Republican tribunal at all.
e might then have impeached the purity
of his judges, the jurisdiction of the
court, or the tactics of his antagonists
with a somewhat better grace. We'need
not remind a gentleman, of his large pro
fessional experience, of the uniformity
with which losing litigants condemn
bench, bar and jury alike, and that hu
man nature is much the same, in law or
politics as in everything else.
We take issue with Mr. ROBERTS upon
his facts. He may have discovered that
his competitors have more active
friends, perhaps a larger and more
prominent popularity than hieiself, but
we cannot believe that either he or they
have attempted to "pack" the Conven
tiona by packing the primary meetings.
The latter are to be held eight days hence;
they are free to every Republican voter;
his friends have the same privileges there
as those of his competitors; one man has
the same right as any other, to direct in
the organization, to canvass for votes and
to secure a majority thereof ; whoever
gets the most votes semen-the delegates
from that precinct; and the friends
of no one candidate can pack a
free and open meeting of the people,
puck as these lire tO he; unless they have
a numerical majority on their side—and,
wheal Omit shall, be I the case, no < More
need be said of any one. If Mr. Ron-
E.nze has discovered, eight days in ad
vaice, that, in a majority of the pre
cincts, a msjority of the Repubhcan
voters are about to "pack", against his
,
'clidnin in that way—the possible
way that it can be done at all—his early
retirement from the canvass must be com
mend.' as judiclone. Butit is a palpable
absurdity for him; or any one else, to ex
pect a general concurrence. In his belief
that the primary meetings,' in city or
country, can be made fraudulent bur
lesques in the way which he so prema
tufely ditouncen
We desire to speak of this matter with
the kindest: regard for Mr. Roberts, who
is, professionally and personally, a gen
tleman 'of the highest repute. But he
shows himself to be by no means at home
in the political arena, and his severe and
unmerited denunciations of a , system
which he has only experimented upon
long enough to realize that it is not fit
vorable to his official, aspirations, demand
of us' this emphi l tic and prompt protest,
in behalf of the Republicans of tillegheny
comity. We' Tekeetto SOO thit he adopts .

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. I
The Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, believing that the action of the
late General Conference favored some ad
vanced 'steps on their part . tower* re
union with the Methodist Episeopal
Church South, and that it was fitting that
they, as the chief ministers, should! ini
tiate such a movement, Biships Janes
and Simpson were 'appointed as a
Commission to wait upon the Board
of Bishops of the Church South:, at
St. Louiso some days since, who ',pre-
Belated an official paper proposing steps
towards the uniting of both bodies Onto
one. The Southern Bishops received
Bishops Janes and Simpson very Or
dially, and, after a brief time, replied at
considersble length. The documeni of
the So#thern Bishopii • assaumes that
slavery was not the cause but the oeeasiors
which led to the separation. They - - also
resent the idea that they should bci re
garded as seceders, and claim that it Wu
simply s _diviSion by mutual consent.
Considerable stress was placed upon {the
refusal to acknowledge and receive 3the
deputation of the Church. South, toithe
General Conference, at Pittsburgh, in
1848. The first step towards re-uiaionhas
been taken, and we presume, if a depilia-'
tion of the Church South is hereafter sent,.
it would be received, and thus lead the way
to further negotiations. The correspon
dence is dignified and in good spi•it Iby
both parties.

AN INQUIRY;
MEssris EDITORS : Can you inform us
whether or not Me George H. Holtman,
announced as a candidate for Assembly,
is the same George H. Holtzman who, as
an attache of the Commercial in 1807, ob.
tained the fat sinecure of Assessor of
Bank Taxes in this county? If so, is he
still employed on the virtuous Commer
cial ?
We fear that the Assessor who, by a
Legigative jobe received over $1,200 from
the State Treasury for one weeks
would find the ordinary pay of a legisla
tor inadequate to compensate his valuable
services, and that he might have a hank-
Bring for other "jobs" if elected.
{Respectfully forwarded to,.the Pitts
burgh Commercial for its reply to the
pertinent inquiry.—Ens. Gazzirs.l

bloorill not be found upon my hands.'
The jury rendered a verdict of murder
in the first degree.
