ht the world, at the close of the year
1868, there were one hundred and -nine
thousand one hundred and seventy-seven
miles of railway track, which-boat in the
aggregate $10,829,751,982. They tra
verse an area of nineteen million four
hundred and forty-one thousand and
thirteen square mites, populated by five
hundred and eighty-four million four
hundred and sixty-three thousand nine
hundred and thirty-seven souls. The
average of inhabitants to each mile of
railway is 5.353:36. In North America
there are but-one.thousand one hundred
inhabitants to each mile of railroad, which
is the smallest ratio in the world. Asia
presents forty-nine thousand four hun
dred, Europe five thousand and sixteen,
South America fourteen thousand seven
hundred and seventy-five, and Africa ten
thousand six hundred and thirty-nine in
habitants to each mile of track. •
MANY of the soundest Republicans of
issouri favor the removal- of the re
strictions which the present -Constitution
imposes upon men who, during the war,
favored the cause of the rebellion. At
the same time, they claim the enfranchise
ment of colored men, a thing which the
ratification of the .IVirtti Article of the
Federal Constitution will effect, at any
rate.
The immense' immigration from the
middle and eastern States into Missouri,
a large majority of whom are Republi
cans, is so strengthening the party of the
Union, in that State, that they can afford
to be magnanimous to those who, eight
years ago, would, if they could, have
dragged Missouri out of the Union.
While some of those are as bitterly dis
loyal at heart as ever, others are entirely
sstifified with the result of the struggle,
and honestly and cheerfully accept the

Tau Attorney General of Ohio is clear
ly of the opinion - that citizens of that
State should not be idemnified for losses
sustained from the Morgan raid. The State
officers acting under his counsel, refuse
to acknowledge the validity of a bill
passed by the Legislature recognizing the
right of the injured to receive damages
from the State.
AN Anti-Ritnalist Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church has been
called lo be held at Chicago on
the IGth of June next. A large
number of clergymen have signed
a vig t oros protest against the new teach.
ings of bishop WMTEHOUSE, Dra. - Dix,
DoKovriac and others as being "machina
tionl ar4 devices that are employe for
unp otestantizing this Protestant Ep sco
pal Church, corrupting her doctrine, de
basing her worship, and overturning her
long-established rites, ceremonies and
usages." The call for the proposed
Convention is signed by - a large
number of the clergy, of that de
nomination, in all; quarters of the
country, and is addressed to the Evangel
ical Clergy and laity of the church
throughout the United States. '
Trur. IMPRESSION, at New York, seems
to be that the Presbyterian union may be
deferred for still another year. A large
majority ofthe New School judicatories
prefer that the basis should be amended in
the particulars specified by our article of
the 24th, while the other branch inclines
to prefer the basis unaltered, by a majori
ty equally decisive. It is the general be
lief that this difference will be harmonised
within itie next twelve months, when,
perhapit may also include most of the
other Presbyterian bodies. A-basis upon
which the latter can agree is already under
consideration, and is to be perfected by a
joint committee which meets in this city,
in August next. When the fusion, more
or less complete, shall be consummated,
says a dispatch, "it is intended to cele
brate the event with a day of prayer, in all
the Presbyterian churches throughout the
Union."

two great objections, the money they cost
and the space they occupy; this one has
greatly the advantage of all rivals in
these respects, and on these grounds alone;
if it had no other merits, its publishers
should be justified in anticipating a large
sale for it.
AND SO THE whirligig of time makes
all things even ! Since the Pittsburgh
Conanercial has come under the editorial
control of a well known Democrai, one
of the extreme Copperhead factiott of that
party, although he pretends just now to
write under the Republican flag, anether
Democratic journal is enabled to retire
from the field. The Pittsburgh Republic
changes proprietors, abandons party \ pol
itics, and is hereafter to be printed as a
strictly independent penny paper, under
the charge of Messrs. CASE, MURPHY and
HEAZLETON. These young gentlemen
have experience and capacity for the
work which they have undertaken. Of
Mr. CASE, who was lately city editor of
the Die Patch, we know that he is an ac•
tive and open Republican in politics, but
that the Republic, under his editorial man
agement, will -carefully maintain a posi - -
tion of honest independence.
The Democracy do not profit by this
exchange of newspapers. They lose a
good friend and gain a very poor one.
The Commercial is zealous enough, but
will do that party no real good by its
fraudulent abuse of the Republican flag.
The trick is so palpable that its sheer, im
pudence distrusts both parties, doing no
good and no hurt to either. But the
public, under its late management, was
really an effective Democratic journal,
frankly advertising itself as the onlydaily
organ of that party in this region of the
State. Previously the editor also of the
Commercial, COI. SAWYER, who now rd
tires from the Republic, very justly in his
card reminds' the public that he gave that
tone and direction to the policy of the
Commercial, which have fructified in its
present Democratic preferences: The
Commercial retains, and displays to-day,
the powerful impress of his
Inclinations, but we are really glad to .
express our belief that the Republic,
under its new management, will be
freed altogether from certain influences
which do not accord with the
political ideas of a vast majority of
our people. Perhaps Col. SAWYER may
return to his first love, the Commercial,
and make it, what he certainly would, a
manly and open foe to Republicanism, in
stead of a filibustering and hostile priva
teer, depredating upon Republicanism
under the cowardly cover of the prosti
tuted Republican flag. Decidedly, the
Democracy of Allegheny are losers by the
substitution of the Commercial for the
Republic, and they should press our sug
gestion upon the retiring editor of the
latter. He Would at once make the Com
mercial a respectable Democratic journal,
—the only thing it could ever be, abut
which it cannot be without a larger infu
sion of candor and principle. This idea
deserves their consideration just pow.
THE INDIANA CASE.
We learn, from Indianapolis, that Sen
ator 3lowros has prepared a very power
ful argument, showing conclusively that
his other pt werful argument, delivered
before the Senate, near the close of the
late session,—in support of his bill to pre
scribe the modes of Legislative action
upon amendments to the Federal Consti
tution,— was altogether unnecessary.
The Senator now relies upon a precedent
found in the action of the Senate upon
the BRIGHT and FITCH case—a precedent
so bad that it will not stand.examination,
and in which Governor MORTON himself
had never a particle of confidence. To
sustain that precedent now, not only
he, but the entire Republican press and
party, as well of the country at large as
of Indiana itself, must deliberately eat
their own words. Nor can we, with any
good face, accept the Senatorial decision
then, as in any degree justifying a similar
disregard, now, both of the facts, of the
provisions of the State Constitution; and
of the soundest principles of political ju
risprudence. This is substantially con
ceded, in the general consent with which
the supporters of the action of Indiana,
upon the 1 2CVth Article, have all fallen back
upon that precedent for their main reli
ance. For evident reasons, we regard the
present position of Senator MORTON as
not creditable to his repute for political
sagacity, as well as for an elevated states
manship.
THE CONGRESSIONAL RATES.
In 1850, Congress adopted as a fixed
principle, the restriction of the member
ship of the House of Representatives to a
fixed number, correspondence with
which should' require an enlargement of
the ratio at each recurring census, with
the advaoe of oar populition. This
restriction was accepted ten years later,
in the adjustment of the representation
upon the Census of 1860, and is likely
to be again maintained in the re-distri
bution soon to be made. We note, how
ever, some objections to this, particularly
from Western journals, which argue
that this restriction works an in
justice to the rapidly growing States
in that part of the Republic.
We fail to see the force of their
objections. There must be some limit to'
the numbers of a Legislative body, .to se
cure the proper despatch of the public busi
ness, and the country is heartily agreed
that the present House is quite as large ae

THE NEW PARAGUAYA MIS ON.

upon his final escape from at co . try.

His successor, Gen. McMA ow, h; not

that he is held in durance by the Dio : tor.
It is now proposed to send 'pen. JoUN 1
CoCHRANE upon a special miiiiiion to see
what has become of our missiOg Minister.
No selection has yet' been made of a suit
able Envoy to send, a few months later,
to see what shall have become:of General
COCHRANE. Seriously, we object to this
disposal of so distinguished a poldier and
citizen as General C. He cannot be
spared, in that way, by either` his family,
his friends or his country. We venture
to suggest the names of other gentle
men, either one of whom would be hon
ored by the appointment, find whom
their country would cheerfully
devote to the delicate and re
sponsible duties involved in this far-off
and perhaps endless quest of a i lost Pleni
potentiary. For_ one, we would. name
Hon. J. S. CARLISLE, of West Virginia;
for another, that Gen. RIIBsEL,, "of Al
legheny county," who not lond since was
prominently mentioned at thp Federal
Capital. We might also nude Gen. J.
W. WEBB, late of Brazil, Mr. Sexvonn,
recently of the Belgium Missioli, or even
Mr. HARVEY, who comes homelfrom Por
tugal to resume his friendly correspon
dence with the surviving Soll hem reb
els. We can better spare in of these
gentlemen; indeed, all of ttiem together
might form a joint and mos effectively
imposing Commission of Enipiiry which
could not fail to clear up thel 3 tystery at
present obscuring the preci e situation
of Gen. Mc/SW(Ox. The D i ctator of
Paraguay must be i
more an man,
to be able to resist the pertrsions of
pe
CARLISLE Or RUSSELL, •es cially if
backed by the diplomacy of
t 'EBB, the
boundless charity of HARVEY toward all
enemies of either himself or thicountry,
or the pretty Brussels pattern of knee
breeches which Mr. SANFORD could prof
fer for his distinguisted consideration.
But should the Dictator prove !obdurate
and kidnap the entire party of e•perienc
.od diplomatists, their country would en
deavor so simulate that spirit of tHeaven
ly resignation, with which th late A.

A series of editorials have altered in

Now the facts are, that as Chapman of
the Ways and Means Committee, I re
ported-the bill without - provisioni :or the
pay of the esti: men; but the House, by
a very large m jority, amended ttie bill so
that all could be paid. No sensible man
will say that 1 am responsible fOri the ac

Although these facts have been brought

GEORGE WILSON.
False Friend.
When the Pittsburgh Conmercial
began, last winter to • manifesti what
seemed to be a virtuous indignition'at
the various acts of extravagance that onr
Legislature was guilty of, we fully ap.
proved of the position it tool; and be.
heved that it was working for thelpurifi•
cation of the party. Its more ,recent
copse, however, has about , satisfied us
thit we were mistaken. We are; most
compelled to believe that its attack on
the Legislature was influenced by a de•
sire to destroy rather than to purge the
party whose livery it assumes. Itl is one
thing to crititilse certain members and
'certain, acts of a party with _a view to re.
foriri, and A verydifferebt thingl toad.
Atha, that an •eahrfePairtY `argeldiatiOn
is rotidrileind 'to oftli upe
Y 27, 1869
the people to repudiate it. The first is
the proper function of an independent
Republican paper, and the.. Dispatch has
endeavored to perform it;-the second is
the function either of an open and above
board opposition newspaper, or the con
venient cloak of a paper that uses its as
sumed Republicanism to stab that party
in the back. The .Post Is the open) foe; the
Commercial, we are sorry to say,. has put
itself in the more insidious and more
formidable category. Its editorials of
late are merely sweeping diatribes
against the Republican party iu generaL
Just before the Conventions the people
are given to understand, by a professed.
ly Republican journal, that the party or
gan zation, from top to bottom, is one
festering mass of corruption; they are
told that they must_ place confidence
in none of those whom they have been
accustomed to look to as leaders—in no
prominent man in the party; they are
virtually informed that , •corruptionists"
have determined all-the nominations in
advance, that they are sold ontand must
not expect any fairness in the Conven
tions. And while a so-called Republican
journal is thus villifying the party that
nourishes it, and virtually inviting the
people to desert it, the outspoken Demo
cratic journals laugh in their sleeves and
rejoice that their work is thus so well'
done to their hands by their new found
ally. Undoubtedly they are now keep
ing files of the, Commercial on hand, and
after the Conventions are over all they
will have to do to carry on the campaign
will be to publish the Commercial's
abusive articles assailing its own party.
Admitting, for the sake of argument—
or of charity—that our big neighbor is
not an enemy In disguise, as we fear, but
only a sincere blunderer, and that it in
tends to support the nominees of the
Conventions, what confidence does that
journal expect the people to repose In
its support of those nominees? It is vig
orously potting itself on record as oppos
ed to the whole of the existing Repub
lican organization, and to nearly all the
prominent Republicans of the county and
State. If, then, its pet schemes and pet
candidates are not nominated by the
peoples as they:are not likely to be, what
will Its hollow advocacy of those whom
it has indiscriminately denounced, be
worth? It will actually injure them
more than its present opposition to them
does. We ask of the Commercial that it
will do one of the two things; either
'drop its mask and turn Democrat, and
thus . qtiit a party it denounces. as hope
lessly corrupt, or else abstain from its
wholesale and untruthful charges of cor
ruption against an. organization which,
though not Immaculate, though extrava
gant, though not entirely free from cor
ruption, it is yet a lible to denounce, in,
the style the Commercial has been in
dulging in, an organization which with all
its faults, is yet the purest political body
in the country, and upon whose existence
and success depend the best hopes of
all friends of liberty, reform and pro.
gress.—Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Wyandotte Cave, Indiana.
Says Prof. Owen, in a recent article on
:he Geology of Indiana: "In CraWford
county the chief attraction is Wyandotte
cave. Some years since I had the pleas
ure of exploring the Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky, and, without desiring for a
momeat to detract from that justly cele
brated and admired subterranean wonder,
I can truly state that the Wyandotte cave
is almost, if not quite equally worthy of
a visit from the admirers of fine natural
scenery. To do justice in descriplion to
the splendid long masses of stalicities,
uniting, sometimes, with the stalamities
below, which burst upon the view, per
haps after • drawing our bodies through
an aperature too small for overgrown
travellers, or after safely passing the
'Dead Fall,' whose disturbance and dis
placement might forever cut off all return
to light and life, furnishing a sepulchral!
catacomb infinitely greater in the extent( !
of its ramifications than the wonderful
and massive structures of art, the vaunted
mausoleum pyramids of Egyptian des
pots. To describe fully the brilliance re
flected, even by torchlight, from fiuted col
mals of satin spars, forming the 'Pillar
of the Constitution,' and similar scenes,
would require a power of langaage
which would, at best, feebly show forth
the reality.
"To place on canvass the full grandeur'
of 'Monument Mountain,' enshrining on
its summit a semblance of 'Lot'S Wife,'
the whole vaulted by the crumbling of
magnesium limestone into an arch two
hundred and forty-five feet frem ',the
proper floor of the cave, and studded\ on
its oolitic summit with calcareousl l icicles,
which seem to form tho gothic architec
tufal pendants of this 'Wallace's' Grand
Dome;' to paint all this I;night furnish a
subject for a Rembrandt.
"Seibert's cave, which is a shortways
off fram Wyandotte cave, is said to be
also very beautiful, though as yet it isnot
much explored.
"The length of Wyandotte cave is
said in all to be about nineteen miles."
AT Iffronraith, lowa, last week, Mit
chell Katsky, aged fifteen, waa killed in
his father's grain ware-house. He , was
sweeping the upper floor• while his father
and one or two workmen were drawing
off a large bin of wheat into a barge for
shipment. Either accidentally or play
fully he stepped into the hopper of sliding
grain, and was almost instantly drawn
under. His father and the man below
heard him scream, stopped the running
wheat, and went up to, see what was the
matter. When they reached the top, tie'
boy was entirely out of sight beneath the
heavy mass of grain, except one hand
and wrist, which he had thrown upward
as the grain closed over him. They laid
hold of the hand; and tried in vain to
pull him out; the pressure was too great,
and his body had partially filled the
small orifice through which the grain es
caped, below; consequently the hopper
was emptied slaWly and ', with difficulty,
and before he could be extricated life was
extinct.
A vnnr ingenious and Preachy triode
of relieving the hunger of travelers has
been adopted on the leading lines out 'of

the railroad Officials, all of whom are

of your compartment goes with it: On
arriving at the station a box is put into
your hands. It contains four courses;
with soup and wine. .You are allowed
forty minutes to eat, whichlou do while
