Wz are authoilzed to withdraw the name of CoL J. B. Cormsrm, of Eliza beth, as a candidate for the. Republican nomination of Courty Treasurer. This action renderii the nomination. of Major J. H. DENNIBTON a certainty. New YORE carries the policy of abol ishing restrictions upon the competency of testimony to the extreme but lagiti • mats conclusion. She adopts the fullest scope of the law of evidence, as it has been recognized in Ohio, and - admits the party as a witness in criminal proceed ings, as well as in civil cases. In this re gard, Pennsylvania yet lags behind the adjoining States., The New York press give a common expression in support of the new law, in the protection -of rights and the furtheiance of justice. . Tun rejection of young. Docous, the colored printer, by the Washington Typo graphical Union, has not reflected m uc h credit to that body. The act is justly commented on by the' leading papers of ?the country as evidence of the hollowness of that organization - in its pretentious to elevate and protect labor. If DoupL as was capable to stand before the case and do his full share of labor - in as creditable manner as a white compositor, his color should not have proven an impediment to his" admittaneis into the Union. The same tyrinnical spirit keeps women, who are nearly as competent as men in the work of, type setting, outside the pale of the self•proteetionists. • WE Aim authorized to state that Taos. Zworo, Esq., whose name has been sug gested by many friends as a candidate be. fore the Republican Convention, for nomination to the .Common Pleas Judge ship, declines to. permit the farther use of Lis name in the current canvass. Con siderations altogether of a personal and not political character have influenced this decision, to which helms eome against Iheltrgent desires of a large number . ' "of his. friends. He is profound ly grateful for the• abundant man ifestations of their regard, and of the , Ageneral aintldence of his - fellow citizens, AIM advisee to taut hiSlireient decision Is inflexible. In thus retiring from the can , vass, he leaves the field to gentlemen who have his warmest good'lwill, and whose rivalry bas been, in all inspects, open and honorable to him, to themselves and to the party whose support they solicit. This retirement, for the reasons and with the spirit which mark it, cannot fail to invest Mr. Evinto with fresh claims upon the Republican good-will, and upon a still broader public confidence. WE ESTRIET the text of the lately enacted law of this Commonwealth com muting the term of imprisonment in our penitentiaries, of such convicts as shall, by good behavior in their confinement, entitle themielves to the benefit of the Act. It reads as follows: . Be it enacted, d:c., That all prisoners who' . ave been or shall hereafter be con victed of any offense against the laws of the State of E'ennsylvania; and confined in any' State prison or penitentiary, in execution of the judgment or sentence upoiii such conviction,' who so conduct the selves that no charge of misconduct n , shall be sustained against them, shall, if the overnor shall so direct, have a de dncti n of one month on each of the first two years; of two months on each suc ceedirig year to the fifth year; and of three months on each following year to the tenth year, and of .four months on each remaining year of the Wm of their sentence; and shall be entitled to their discharge so much the sooneli; upon the certificate of the Warden or princip il keeper of such prison or penitentiary, with the approval of the Board of In spectors of the same. _ _ The French elections are resulting, as anticipated, inn decisive triumph for the Imperial government. The canvass is not to be cloied until this evening, but it is already ascertained that the opposition are barely able to retain the strength they had in the last Legislative Body. Con sidering that, of late years, the Emperor has inaugurated a marked enlargement of the popular rights, in the matter of public meetings and the freedom of expressed opinions, and that the elections now clos ing have been in fact still more free from the interventions of authority than any . which France ha.Tknown since the Em peror cane in—we may well be satisfied that Napoleon Is still Emperor by the consent and with the hearty support of a large majority of his people. An oc casional emuete in the larger cities exhib its the constitutional - safety-valve for the escape of the superabundant excitability of the proletarian classes. The more in tellectual masses of the empire find vent, for their turbulent impatience of all re straint, through the press, which inva riably pays the due penalties promptly. With these exceptibns, the heart and the great body of the French nation are thor oughly with an Emperor who has, for twenty years, upheld French honor, gratified French pride, and conciliated every material interest of his people, with the smallest possible expenditure of their treasure and blood. A PLAIN VlElly OF THE FACTS, The recent letter of Prof GOLDWIN SMITH, to a London journal, warping his English countrymen that the - Americans are ready for open hostilities, was follow ed by a public address which he has de livered at Ithaca, N. Y., and in which he controverts the positions taken by Sena tor SUM2iER. Hereupon, acorrespondent of the Boston Post addresses to the expa triated English Professor, the letter an nexed: To GoLimits SMITH, Esq: I have read your letter to the Loudon Beehive, also, portions of your published speech recently delivered at Ithaca, New York. Great learning sometimes warps the judgment. Suppose, for a moment, Mr. Smith, that a gang of armed men should take possession of your house and burn it to the ground, and upon your re monstrating with them upon the injustice thus done, they should quietly slip a pair of handcuffs upon yon and detain you in that situation five days, with a feed of bread and water only. I had this done to a friend of mine by Englishmen on the high seas. Suppose again, Mr. Smith, you should wake up some morning and find your property ins ship, to the ,amount of sso, uOO, had been burnt upon the high-seas by a vessel which was built at Birken head, and which left Englieh ports with the full knowledge of the English Gov ernment that she had no right thus to leave—and suppose for a moment further that the builder of the ship was a mem ber of the House of Commons. Now, Mr. Smith, you being. an Englishman think the House of Coreknona, as we say, is some pumpkins. Suppose then that this member, in making his boast of the doings of the ship, gloried In the fact that he not only built her, but that he aided her in her clandestine escape; all of which was received by the great and glorious House of Commons with cheers and shouts of congratulation. Your breakfast would not taste so good that morning, Mr. Smith. This is one of r y cases. And suppose once more that you should have still another vessel burned iris similar manner upon the high , and upon your making inquiry into t e character of the ,vessel committing t e out—. K es, you should find that she upon the Custom House to British own , eiml--to persons who called themselves merchants and respectable Englishmen; and the y acted as her agents, both in BF her cut% 'while she was on the high Li your property, and on her return to varntool•—your .ove and alleastidnudg British ' neutrality laws inorea cl l to nd th w e h t ß en rl Y tis ° h tl made would yourno t be r e p Government of these antra es place you were met, with fndi fi rs t t pay, the y oten'aid Y o P f r P oPcs aYiKl4 Pa g to refer thalganto ter whether under any circumstances you had a claim.--aird if yon bad, they could trump up something 10 bJ once it.

To TEE EDITORS or TEE Gamma The ideal of a perfect Government is one which combines in itsell'imblif Artne. goodness of intention, with :'`and strength. It his been clo:lmed dist white _; .t. NAPOLEONIC FRANCE Pn'TSBI.IIIOII GAZETTE: WEDNEST,j)a, MAY 16 , 1869 in a Democracy, where the right of ma king laws resides in the people at large, public virtue or goodness of intention •is more likely to be found than either of the other qualities of Government, yet, there is more wisdotr in aristocracies ir di d more strength in monarchies. Ther o r e ti c . ally, our government was inte.nded to combine all these necessary qualities. The people being the court of last resort, we are a Democracy. Our laws being made by Legislatures,- and not by the direct vote of the people, we are an Aris tocracy; and the laws being carried into effect through officials chosen for specific terms, and removeable only for gross dereliction of duty, we are protanto a monarchy. Added to all this we have a thorough common school system, colleges of repute, reli gions and moral advantages, great natural wealth, in short, everything which is needful to constitute a virtuous; wise, strong, honest people. With the ideal thus hovering before us ana within our reach, it seems strange indeed that we should have fallen to such a depth of abasement. The air is filled with rumors of corruption , and dishonesty in high places. Our State Legislatures, from Maine to California, are alleged to be rotten with corruption. Congress is said to be no better. Governors are charged with taking bribes, and so down through the scale of offices from the highest to the lowest, until it would seem that there was a dearth of honesty in the land; that we were a nation of thieves and plunder ers, lacking in every virtue and heaping ups burden of iniquities sufficient to blot out our national existence. That there is much truth contained in these charges nil attentive observer of passing events can deny. But why it ; should be so, and how can it be remedied, are. questions so important as to require the careful attention of every well wisher of his cohntr3. It will not do to content ourselves with Alenouncing corruption; we must aim to remove it. No govern. ment can be wise or strong without pub lic virtue. It lies at the foundation of all government. No doubt much of the prevalent corruption may he attributed to the derangement of the ordinary .course of events attendant upon the late war. But is there not some latent defect in our social organism tending strongly to produce this condition of affairs? It can not be attributed to political strife. For, in the early days of the Re public, when party spirit ran as hii as it • does now, no such result followed. It cannot be attributed to our form of gov ernment. For theoretically that is all that can be desired. It cannot be attributed to lack of intelligence-or of moral or re ligious advantages. • For we have all these. What then is the cause of it ? 'Simply this, It seems to me. Our best men are content to take no active part in the affairs of State. We send to our Con gress and State Legislatures men whom we would not trust in the management of our private affairs. We put in office men who are known to have been dishonest in private life. We ask no recommenda tion but the endorsement of a party con vention. Ido not blame the conventions. They do the best they can. The evil lies back of that. They ordinarily rep resent the will of the people so far as expressed to them. We must take care that that will is properly and intelligently expressed. Good citi zens must recognize the fact that it is just as important to attend primary meetings, and nominate reliable men for delegates, as it is to vote at the regular elections. But there is another matter which seems to me all important. The State must of fer inducements sufficient to lead its best citizens to seek her service. She must pay for it. She must follow the exam ple of her enterprising citizens. The rules of political economy are just the same for the State as for the citizen. While, therefore, the State will not pay for service as much as a competent, hon est man can earn by attending to his pri vate affairs, just so long will she be de prived of the services of her purest and best citizens. Cheap public service has always been the bane of our country. It is a direct temptation, to dishonesty in public life just as low pay is in private life. For .m -stance, bow many lawyers earning $lO,OOO a year by their practice would accept a Judgeship at $5,000. How many men - earning $lO,OOO a year would risk the loss of their private business by accepting a Governorship at $5,000. Charity begins at home. and the State is no object of charity. Let her pay liber ally and she will not be compelled to ac cept every Tom, Dfck or Harry who seeks to enter her service. She will have the choice of - the best men of the nation. There is another matter, too.which we might reform. Let every officer be paid a salary. So far as the official is concerhed, do away with all-fees. Many men are dishonest in trifles who would, in their beginning at least, scorn to do a great dishonest act. Remove the temp tation! - When, therefore, we all can make up our minds to take Our full share in all the machinery of government, voting when ever votes are being cast, we will have made along step towards Reform; and when to , that we add a liberal compensa tion to our officers, we will have fewer complaints of bribery and corruption. J. S. F. THE PITTI§HURGH. COMMERCIAL AND THE “HINGS.9, EDITORS . GAZETTE: I have taken and read . the Commercial since it was - started, and ram glad to learn that the spirit of reform is actuating it to a vigorous attack upon corruption. With all efforts, either of that'or any other paper, or individual, to expose and put down corruption, I most heartily sympathize. I commended the Commercial 'a course in denouncing the palters and folders schemeof plunder. That deserved the severest reprobation. I commend its course and your own in favoring the nomination of Joseph Dil worth, Esq., for County Commissioner. But there is one thing, which seems , to be the chief target- of the Commercial's fire, that; as yet, I am utterly un able tot' see among . the political phenomena of this county, ' and that is the "Rings." Now I will not undertake to say there are not "Rings," but Ido say that I have taken a pretty active part in politics for several yeares and if there are I have failed' to discovet co them. nstitute them? What are Who the "Rings"? Who have 'the honor, or dishonor rather, to be their chiefs? ' Where are their headquarters—it "RinP" These questions -I Iliithil le i4ead ilhoukt qurters Af t to /Mos answered. ; It • there be, "Rings" let the public know all eu_ee.t. them . It has occurred to me that Pelvably those politicians who are active Ir. the county Conventions are the subjects ,of this charge. If that be the case, the charge is not only groundless, but a most foul aspersion upon the men whose party zeal and fidelity wiri our victories. These are the men who do the work—who organize success. In convehtion they select the best men presented, nine times out of ten, and the people could not do more if they could do as much in a contest, where the cities would have a numerical preponder ance. To be sure they make mistakes. But look at the candidates . ; ordinarily be fore conventions and say \whether it is tot impossible to help ' it. But I hive drawn this out longer than I intended. I shall await the Commercial's answers to the questions put, and if it exposes "Rings" I shall go as far as anybody in endeavoring to overthrow them. REPUBLICAN. Pinar:unroll, May 250869. MESSRS En7ous:—ln your issue of the 22d inst., I noticed a communication from Jos. Dilworth. Esq., accepting the posi tion as candidate for the important office of County Commissioner, and proposing, if elected, to contribute all he receives as compensation for- services rendered, to the support of the rrior of Allegheny c)unty. I do not approve of Mr. ,Dilworth's proposition, and am astonished that a man of his intelligence and good sense should make such a proposal. Surelyhe cannot entertain the idea that none but those who have been fortun .te enough, to have inherited riches or amassed fortunes and Can afford to labor without compensa. don, should aspire to hold office. I hope not. Such notions of political economy might suit England, France or Russia, but in this land of liberty and equal priv ileges, where the masses govern and are the sovereigns of the country, it is the duty of all good citizens to guard well their rights, and see that the machinations of those pOssessed of wealth shall not de grade them to the level of mere serfs. The honest intelligent poor man- should have an eqUal chance with the rich man in the race for positions of honor or profit. As a friend of Mr. Dilworth's and one who wishes to see him nominated by the Republican Convention, I considei it due the intelligent voters of Allegheny county that he should disclaim any intention ofre fleeting upon the honest poor man, in pro posing to serve the county of Allegheny for the benefit of the poor. I feel certain that Mr. Dilworth aims at doing right, and will be pleased to hearhim define his position more minutely. A FRIEND. EDITORS OF GAZETTE : This morning's Commercial contains a card from Mr. George. H. Holtzman in reply Ito my In quirks in regard to the "Bank Tax As sessorship." It seems that he is the iden tical Assessor who got $1,200 1 from the State i l ieasury, for what w ould be a week's work for any ordinary bank clerk. If it took Mr. H. two months to perform the labor, as he asserts, he is too stow for a legislator. If he "accepted the office without knowing the compensa. tion," when the fact, that the Assessor should receive seven per cent. of the amount assessed, Nyas.the only clear stip ulation in the act creating the office, he is quite too dull for the position he now seeks. As to the "ring" having controlled the subsequent appointments to that-of fice, the writer knows nothing. But that the Treasurer (Kemble) desired to avoid the scramble that would , take place if it was known that the office existed, and appoiated Mr. H. without solicitation, is drawing largely on the popular imagina tion.' The current report at Harrisburg at the time was that the whole matter was arranged in the interest of a Senator before the bill had passed, for Mr. H. and the Senator's own son. But, perhaps, everybody was mistaken in that. Who knows? OBSERVER. EDITORS GAZETTE : Mr. /101tZMaIl is out in Tuesday's CommerCial in reply to the interrogatory communication in the GAZETTE of the 22d inst. With virtuous indignation he is down on "office seeking rings." If he is not identified--with such "rings," his own admissions certainly prove that he was not averse to "ring" favors—sl,2oo for "about two weeks" serving is over.s7,ooo per annum. Pretty good piece of "ring" that—which he says he never asked for. Well, let us see how it came about. • Mr. T. J. Bight= was a chief in engi neering the bill creating the o ffi ce of Bank Assessor. He is well - known to have been personally, and in sympathy, con• nected with the Commercial., rWe have Mr. Holtznaan's admission that he also was on that paper. Mr. Bigham's son was his associate assessor and equal with \ him in the emoluments. - Now notwithstanding Mr: H. asserts that he is "not afraid to approve the Cow meretaP course' in opposition to corrup tion and bribery in every shape," - don't that look like a little Holtzmim-Oommer els/ "ring.", Beim PRESIDENT. .
