Wszx the article on the commutation
of prison sentences in Monday's GezETTE
was written, we were not aware that dur
ing the last hours of the Legislature a
law bearing on that subject was passed,
which was signed by the Goiernor last
Friday. We have not, as yet, received a
copy of the law, but we are glad that. it
has passed, and shall spedc of it again.
GIN. Dix has taken formal leave from
the Court of France, and Mr. WASH-
Biwa, his successor, has presented his
credentials. The complimentary addres
ses passing between the Emperor and our
new Minister were of the most gratifying
'character, and gave fresh assurance that
the amicable relations existing so long
and undisturbed between the two greet
nations are not likely to be disturbed. '

Democrat',c journals of Pennsyl
vania fall in alacrity in belaboring
the late Legisl4are, and demand reform
with an imrade - nce cool and refreshing.
There may be Republicans who would
not hesit Ate to turn a penny honestly or
dishowatly if elected to place in the As
semb!iy; but that the Democratic party
contains all the integrityand virtue going
the are slow to believe. As the actions of
the recent Legislature of our State are
undergoing the closest scrutiny, we
would respectfully ask opposition editors
to turn their attention to the fact Mat
while the members of that body actually
economized a large sum by retrenchment
for the State TreaSury over previous ses
sions, the Ohio Legislature, Democratic,
cost that State one hundred thousand dol
lars more than when Republicans had the
majority. Are Pennsylvania Democrats
more honest than those -in Ohio? We
fear not. \
IN THE United States there are enough
miles of railway to \ twice girdle with iron
the circumference of the earth. The sys
tem of steam railway in this conntry_is
superior in many respects to that of the
world, but it has grave faults. The lack
of uniformity in gauge is a conspicuous
error of judgment which tends to destroy,
in large measure, that eitpedition and
safety in travel so desirable by rail. Hith
erto but little attention was paid by Legis
latures and railroad men to uniformity of
gauge, and railroads have been con
structed all 'Widths, varying from four feet
eight and a half inches to six - feet. Thus
it is that many Ostensibly connecting
roads really do not connect, inasmuch as
change of cars and trans-shipment of
passengers and freight are made neeessary
because of difference of gauge. The com
promise wheels have but partially over
come this difficulty and delay, but in so
doing have so enlarged the probability of
accidents and loss of life, that it were bet
ter they had never been adopted. What
is needed is a national enactment estab
lishing a standard of gauge to which all
roads should be obliged to conform. Such
legislation Would conduce largely to the
advantage,not only of the Government and
business public., but likewise of those
owning and controlling railways.
AREAL STATE SPECULATION.
In the proposed transfer of all that por
tion of Northwestern Florida lying wee
of the Apalachicola river, tram the do-
minion of that State to that of Alabama,
we have thC first instance during the
present generation of any exchange 01
sovereignties, to a noticeable extent, be
tween adjoining States. The transaction,
the settled terms of which are yet to have
the-approval of the two Legislatures. is
doubtless in accord with the real interests
of each party, and especially with those
of the local population, whose citizenship
is thus to be reconstructed. These peo
ple were removed to an inconveni
ent distance from the residue
Et
of Florida,. while_ their aympathi`a
and interests alike were in common ran' r
with Alabama. The - Florida territor
will remain in a more compact shape, an
the new purchase enables Alabama t
carry her domain, by straight bounder'
on the east and Iv eat, clear down to th
Gulf, from which the Floridian "Pan
handle" has heretofore excluded nearly \
three-fourths of the sister State. \Florida
keeps Aptdachicola Bay, and the\valuable
sea-port of St. Marks. but loses Pensacola
Bay, with its maritime advantages, and
the Federal naval station, which late
events have made historical. Alabama
thus gains an additional. Gulf-port. which
may soon prove to be a formidable rival
for the domestic and foreign traffic here
tofore controlled by Mobile. -
Florida was small enough befor this
cession of a respectable portion o her
area was proposed. We could hav been,
better pleased if her authorities:. had
sold out altogether, extinguishing
her existence and sovereignty for
ever. But - that she will never do.
She will continue to retain her Senatorial
equality with greater States, with one
member of the House, even with but&
fraction of the ratio of population re
'quisite in Pennsylvania.
The same transfer of domain between
adjoining States_has also been proposed,
in the case of the upper peninsula of
Michigan, which should naturally belong
to Wisconsin, and of the Eastern Shore
counties of Virginia and Maryland, which
Delaware should absorb. It is not im
probable that one or both of these cues
may, ultimately, be adjusted in the mode
upon which the two extreme Southern
1 States are now about toagree.
A basis for the union of the two
branches of the Presbyterian Church,
known as the old and the new schools,
was reported, in '67, by the joint com
mittee of fifteen which had been appointed
in the preceding year by the two Assem
blies. Final action upon the basis was
not then taken, but was deferred until' 68,
and then attain to the present year, to
allow of the fullest consideration of its
provisions by the subordinate Synods and
Presbyteries. It is understood that the
two Amembles, now both sitting separ
ately at New York, will take up and dis
pose of•the proposition affirmatively.
The bads, as reported, is a broad,
mutual and complete plan of consolida
tion, waiving past differences, and look
ing to &future union which shall be per
fect in spiiit as in fact. The principal
questions, the discussion of which may
delay the 'consummation, are, first,
whether th - e huts shall require the Coe
hoiden, of Faltb.,to be received to, Ha

proper Calvinistic or ReSormed . sense,
and, second, whether the presbyteries
shall have the right to examine
ministers applying from other Presby
teries, exercising that right according to
their discretion. The first question is
less doctrinal than it appears, since the
basis otherwise expressly provides for the
most faithful rec4nition of the Reformed
or Calvanistic s3stem: the second ques
tion is purely - one ' of discipline • and priv
ilege as affecting the lesser judicatories.
It is thought that L question will be
adjusted harmonio sly, and that the so
long separate Assemblies will finally ad
journ, only to meet again as one united
and rightful General Assembly within
these States. •
- The Southern wings of lioth the Pres
byterian and Methodist Churches remain
still averse to a cordial reconciliation with
their Northern brethren, while the Pro
testant Episcopal Church, alone, seems to
have succeeded in burying all senn-polit
ical differendes, becoming once more en
tirely one, as an ecclesiastical organiza
tion throughout the Republic. It is sin
cerely to be desired that all other denom
inittions of the Protestant Church, re
cently rent by angry schisms, whether
originating in doctrine, discipline or pol
itics, should hasten to perfect their re
union, so that all the consenting influ
ences "cif the visible Church within this
land may be once more arrayed in the
open support of the constituted author
ities under the law.
N ATION AL 'UN PLEASAN TNESS.
The speech of Senator SUMNER on the
Alabama treaty, negotiated in London by
Minister REVERDY JOHIISTON and the
British Cabinet, seemed to be accepted by
the Senate as expressive of its sentiments
on that important question ; for, with
very little - further discussion, that body
rejected the treaty with but a single dis
senting voice. Whether the views of
that distinguished Senator are held by a
corresponding majority of his country
men at large, is a question which has not
been tested; but certain it is, that so far,
there has been no generally expressed dis
sent.
In England, on the other hand, with a
degree of unanimity unknown betore,
all partial, classes and creeds resist the
claims put forth by the American Senator.
The men who stood most
_firmly up for,
the cause of the Union during the war of
the rebellion are on this question in per
fect accord with those who gave their
sympathies to the rebels. It is a serious
disagreement between two great nations,
and one which will require very delicate
handliiig upon the part of their respective
representatives to avoid a hostile collision.
It may be thought strange that the
speech of a single American Senator
should be the cause of such a ferment on
the other side of the water; but it must
be borne in mind that the almost unani
mous vote of the Senate, which immedi
ately followed the delivery of that speech,
is interpreted as an endorsement by the
Senate of its doctrines and demands; \and
the fairness of this interpretation is not,
and cannot be, gainsayed. Oar Senate
acted in accord with popular sentiment in
rejecting that, treaty; but whether it was
wise to put forth; with that negative ac
tion, such strong positive declarations as
Mr. SOMNEn uttered, is a question that
can be better and more easily answered
two cir three years hence than now.
Still we do not believe that the danger
of war is imminent. By tacit consent
the two nations will postpone any further
negotiations for a time"on the' question of
the piratical depredations of theyilabama,
and in the meantime engage in ~other
tt:ne
gotiations which are calculated to bring
them into more friendly relati ns. But
this postponement will be lik y to be
come a source of trouble and bit rness to
us at home. Parties and parti Its will
1 ,
labor to make cheap capital out of this
matter; and the first-class Stat an who
now represents this Govenimen at the
Court of St. James may be mo embar
rassed by the noisy and intempera clamor
of such people, than. by. the pride and
obstinacy of the now irate Jous BULL.
So far as our voice goes, we couni7l calm
ness, and a generous confidence in Mr.
Mokutv as the custodian for the time
icing of our national rights and honor at
let Court. \

English Patience has Limits.
The people of the United States s ould
understand that English patience, unex
hansted by any ambunt of vituperation,
has its limits where‘lanßuage passes into
action. If the impending danger is to be
noticed at all. there would be little advan
tage in substituting fanciful risks for the
practical object which must be contem
plated by those who may wish to force a
quarrel. Mr. Sumner who is not the
less a man of great ability because he
shows himself the implacable enemy of
England, cannot be suspected of having
really hoped to extort a confession of
error, and a payment of half the cost of
the civil war. Ills speech, if it is trans
lated into diplomatic documents, will be
altered into the demand of territorial ces
sion, which has already been stn ed by
Mr. Chandler.

A Remarkable E Iscopate.
It is well known that the Bishops of
the Methodist Episcopa Church in this
country are not diocesans, but exercise
a joint and general authority over the
whole church. One of them; Bishop
Kingsley, is about to start on a course of
Episcopal visitations, which affords a
striking illustration of the breadth of the
field over which our American Metho
dists have extended their missionary op
erations. He goes first to Colorado,
where , he will organize an Annual Con
ference. Thence to Oregon, to superin
tendh t e meeting of Conference. Then
backto the California Conference, and
then o Shanghai in China, and from' that
to thp Conference in N orthern India.
After that he is to visit the work in
)Ger
many, Denmark,' Sweden , and other
EurOpean countri This visitation
round the world is to din France next
summer, and the Bish expects to reach
his home again, if life s spared, in Sep
tember of next year .n the programme
of this tour the days of the month are
specified on which each meeting is to be
held, and such is the completeness of
modern arrangements for travel that very
little apprehension is entertained of a fail
ure in the appointments. We are often
told that the drum-beat of the British
army is heard round the entire world,
but we have never heard of a tour of in
spection in that organization to complete
the circuit of the globe in fifteen months.
TUE SUFFERINGS endured by the pas
sengers on board the:emigrant ship
James Foster, Jr., recently arrived at
New York, are reported to exceed belief.
The evidente taken shows that the cruel
ty and inhumanity exhibited in former
times towards the unhappy slaves during
, the middle passage have been repeated en
board_ this emigrant ship. The vessel
was not overloaded with passengers, but
at no time during the voyage was the
proper quantity of food delivered. The
weekly distribution of provisions was
made by the carpenter on Saturday, and
even with the greatest care the allowance
would only last three or four days.
Small biscuits, it is stated, were sold for
twenty-five cents apiece,
and water at
twelve cents . a gill. At the same time
there Was no actual scarcity, for when
the ship arrived at New York there was
fresh water in the tanks, and a plentiful
supply of meat aboard. Two of the offi
cers of the vessel, the captain and first
mate, have been severely punished for
their misconduct, but not by the hand of
man. Since the arrival of the ship they
have died of the. ship fever, which pre
vailed on board and which was caused
directly by their own neglect. The sur
geon was also grossly incompetent, ad
ministering but a single remedy, castor
oil, for every disease that prevailed
among the emigrants. Ile also ampu
tated a finger with a ! pair of shoemaker's
pinchers, and the patient died in two days
after the operation.

now in successful operation, employing
about seventy-five hands. Capacity about
seventy-five gross of jars per day. They
make all kinds of hollow wares In their
line. They find the coal a prime article.
From the glass works we went to the

MESSES.DITORS GAZETTE: In the last
issue of thi3 Leader there appeared a dis
connecte& communication, prefaced by
editorial emarks, doing great injustice
to those connected with the Ladies' Mon
umental association, which, if passed un
answered might leave impressions not
fiabtering U) the subjects chosen for at
tack. The orator, like all pretenders, is
not confined to the particularities, butin
very broad terms and insinuations di
vides hie charges until they do not come
within supporting distance of each other.
With your permission we will treat of
each separately, showing succinctly as
passible, their fallacy, and tendering in
return to r iG. A. It. all the public sympa
thy he is "entided to for his endeavor to
raise an Unwarranted prejudice.
total want of executive ability at
present seems to paralyze the good inten
tions some of the members may have.
For nearly two years pretended endeav
ors were made to secure an act of incor
poration for the Society, and the sagacity
displayed certainly reflects , great credit
to those having this in charge. Another
detriment to public interest is placing
the funde under the controlo?
en a banking
by
institution, that, doubly lbefitted
sncUdepesit, could make it an object of
sufficient interest to work with one or all
the causes enumerated to retard the ac
tion of the Association. At all events,
there is something materially wrong
somewhere that should be righted before
forbearanCe seams to be a virtue and the
public demand an investigation." •
The worthy President has more to COW
tend with than the author of the above
seems 'disposed to, give credit for. It
should lie remembered the Society is in
a disorganized condition, and will re
main so until there can be an amicable
selection of the locality for the monu
ment's erection. Each site that has, as
yet, been suggested, has its preferences;
each, therefore, has its friends'and advo
cates, This is the only cause of delay,
and doe's not necessarily indicate a lack
of executive ability by any means. No
one will; doubt for a moment the sincer
ity of the Executive Committee, or their
desire otthe speedy erection of the testi
monial.' 'That profit has its consideration
In this gonnection is absurd and ndicu
lona.
The next point of attack le that while
the Committee were engaged in procur
ing a charter there can be no action on'
the part of the Association, and for this
reason its procurement is avoided. This
is emphatically an exaggeration. Were
it possible for the Committee's object
never to be realized the monument would
be built, without loss or danger of loss
to any ;Individual member, the contrac
tors gliting bonds, these bonds indemni
fying any unforseen contingency.
The mere fact that a charter of incorpo
ration lit-not procured is all nonsense as
far as it necessitates delay.
In the repert submitted last February
s2s,2oo'were in the Pittsburgh' Bank for
Savings, of which the Secretary and
Treasurer, James Park, Jr.. Esq., is Vice
President. From this source what gain
could there be to retard the object of the
Association ? Is not six per cent. allow
ed annually on the deposit, and suppos
ing the Bank. to realize this and even
double this annually, what pecuniary in
duceMent could fifteen hundred or three
thousihd dollars, or any part of it, be to
deleatithe intention of the liberal donors
or deprive our soldiers of a monument?
In view of the high standing of the offi
cers, there is no cause for further consid
eratioP. G. A. It. may rest assured the
funds will be applied judiciously and to
the satisfaction of the public. B.

MECHANICAL MEDICAL 'APPLI
ANCES.
There are, certain phases of disease, and curt
tams diseased conditions, of the human system,,
which proceed from displacement and mal-posl
tion of some of the various organs of the human.
body.' These are not remediable by the usual
and ordinary methods used for the cure of othei
ailments; but require '
some mechanical stay or
support to maintain the parts In position malt
theo are healed, Prominent among these may
be classed a displacement called hernia, or rup
ture, which is a protrusion of part of the bowel,
and whichmust be returned at.d kept to its place
by some outward support whicn should be prop
erly adjusted in order to secure immunity from
inconvenience and danger. The prevalence or
this condition is now very common and should
be attended'to. immediately on its appearance,
not only becauSe of the present inconvenience
which its produces, but also inconsequence of the
usual danger of strangulation which is rarely
remedied but by a surgical operation.
Varicose veins in the legs and varicocele are
other forms of structural' changes which need
immediate and scientific outward support, In or
der to afford retie( or elbct- a cure. Ezell of
these conditions are now as much within the, pale
Of SuCCeastul treatment as any of the other Ms.
'teats to nhich mankind are liable.

There are hundreds of fcmllo3 who would find
great benefit front wearing these tboulder braces
as they are so constructed as to take all the drag

A HOUSEHOLD ELIXIR ADAPTED
TO ALL CLIMATES.
It would be a happy thing for the world if all
the excitants at present used in the practice of
medicine could be swept out of existence, and
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS substitu
ted in their place. There is a probability, too,
that this desirable substitution may one day be
accomplished. Certain It is, that the GREAT
VEGETABLE TONIC Is gradually displacing them,
and that the confidence of the people in its sani
tary and saving properties incr.ases with every
passing year. "Figures that cannot lie" show
this to be the tact. No medicinal preparation
enjoys the like popularity among all classes and
conditions In every section of the conntil. As
an appetizer, a general Invigorant, a remedy for
indigestion,a cure for intermittent and remittent.
fevers, a general cathartic,. a specific for flatu
lency and sour stomach, a gentle diuretic. a ner
vine, a blood depurent, a specific for sick head •
ache, a mild anodytte, and, above 'all, as a PRO-'
i TECTION AGAINST EPID HEWS. it is unquestiona
bly the STANDARD MEDICINE of the whole United
States. In the towns and cities it s literally a
HOUSEHOLD STAPLE. Bothers • believe In it.
They find it a "present help In time of trouble"
—a safe and pleasant remedy for the various ali
ments to which their sex is exclusively subject.
Men believe in it. beacause it refreshei and in
vigorates the body and mind, and tones both
without exciting either.
