A woBLAI WOMAN GONE TO REST.
Mrs. BDESAN KING WADS, wife of
.Major WIP.IAS WADE, of this city, died
on Friday morning, of congestion of the
brain, in the 70th year of her age. Mrs.
WADS was a lady of more than ordinary
vigor of intellect, tecomplished and f atth
ful in all,domestic duties. Earnest, devo
ted and Indicious in co-labor with others in
every Work of . Christian philarithrepy and
charity, and a model of dignity, _intelli
gence and grace in every social relatjon
adellredandloved by all who knew her,
she will be lamented, and her memory
will be revered by society and the Church
in which she was a shining light, 'and
above a 4, end with ineffable grief, by the
stricken and bereaved head and branches
of her faintly. The-funeral services will
be at Christ's Episcopal Church. Alle

RELIGIOUS UNITY.
The disagreement of the subordinate
judicatories of the two wings of-the Pres
byterian denon:dnation to the plan
L et
union as proposed last year, has led the
two Assemblies, now sitting at New York,
to another still more practical overture
for a complete reconciliation. The new
basis ignores all questions of discipline,
and only requires the acceptance of the
' 1 1 4s.ments and of the Confession of
Pailik, :without specifying the precise
iser+e in which the latter shall be con.
strued. T is an earnest effort to take
away all excuses for further difference,
and seems to have been cordially
welcomed as such in • each . As.
,sembly. However liie • lesser lao&
les of the, denomination' may view.the
present suggesliCn, it Is clear that the two
General Councils, concur heartily in the
disposition to adopt it. With the very
'dying votes which they.will record in its
favor, it is not reasonable to expect its
defeatin any respectable - number of the
Pnsbytorksh,to which it is abont „to be
r.
liererietiter decision: Nor is such an Si)-
prehension feltat New York. On the con
trary, the final and authoritative endorse
ment of this plan 'of reunion is
so confidently antieipated, that its
consummation will not be post
pone& until another annual meet
ing. The two Assemblies wil adjourn to
meet in November next, in this city,when
the fina l ' and complete reunion after more
than thirty years of schism, will be
wholly accomplished. If these anticipa
tions he justified by results, a very
i
numero ) us denomination among our citi
zens will be permitted to becoMe person
ally wi nesses to proceedings of immeas
urable, raerest and importance to Ameril
can Presbyterianism.
TEEI PROGRESS OF LIQUIDATION I .
W are promised, for the current month,
a reduotion of the public debt by the sum
of about thirteen millions of dollars, or at
the ratea of over one hundred and filly
millions for the year. That annual rate'
is not, however, to be expected, 'as the
duties just now paid on the spring impor
tations will not hold np for every month
of the year, and the internal 'revenue re
turns are, as usual at tbis time, about the
average. But it is clearly evident that the
revenues are more faithfully collected and
accounted for to the Treasury, and that
the public expenses have been more vig
orously retrenched than at any period
during the past four years. We are
getting in more cash and pay
ing less out than ever before
since the war ended. A cemparison of
the three months of March, April and
May, this year, with the corresponding
months in the years precedidg will sustain
a conclusion most flattering \to the credit
of this Administration, and to the just
expectations of the people. And we have
good reasons for believing that thecurrent
fiscal year will close with next month
with a stronger exhibit of our financial
ability as a people, and a upon a more
absolute certainty of,the early extinguish
ment of the national debt, than the coun
try has seen since that debt was created.

A LESSON FOR THE DAY:
A mighty nation, absorbed in the ac
tive business of life, to-day ceases to oc
cupy itself with its accustomed interests,
and casts flowers on the graves of men
who died the noblest of &Oaths, fighting
on the field_ for liberty under the law,
_wasting away in hoapitab3 with diseases
contracted while in their country's ser
vice or starving m'oerably in the brutal
prison-pens of an- almost barbarous ene
my. This is not a gala day; it is no
time for junketing and rejoicing as on
the Fourth of July. Sad, grateful mem
ories, and not jollity and dancing, are in
spired by the music appropriate to this
touching anniversary, when the surviv
ing comrades of the soldiers of the dead,
Yet ever living past, , are accompanied by
the soldiers of the future, (now crowaing
our schools,) in their solemn march to
those honored and countless tombs which
cover the dust of noble hearts and willing
hands. Eloquence and po6try andtlow
ers—these are the well chosen tributes to
be offered to-day, mingled Perhaps with
tears, before the shrine of memory. Lit
tle children are to be led by the hand to
look upon .a ceremony' which ought to
show that success is not the only quality
honored by the people, nor achieved rank
and fame all that can recall the brave
deeds, heroic sacrifices and steadfast
struggles which are burled beneath more
than alustre of busy years of time, Anx
ious men and'women too, troubled with
the-constant friction of the uneasy world
about them, may gaze to-day upon a sol
emn pageant of . chastened sorrow, and be
reminded that after the weary battles of
this world there is rest and even honor to
be found in an humble honest grave.
THE PRIMARY MEETINGS.
The Republicans of Allegheny county
hold their meetings, for_the selection of
delegates to the three Conventions,
this afternoon,, Saturday, May 29th,
assembling at tiler resPectivelplaces of
election at 4 o:cfock, r. se., and closing
the work before 7r. M. Three hours are
thus given to each precinct—time enough
to receive and record its, entire Repub
lican vote. We shall be under obliga
tions to such of our friends as will report
to us the names Of their delegates as early
as Monday'. evening. •
Let every Republican attend these
meetings! Do not stay away needlessly,
and afterwezds find fault With results
which your attendarutie and personal
efforts might have made otherwdse.
There has been talk about "rings. ,,
Go to the polls and look into that charge
for yourselves. Seeing is belleving,and
nothing else can suffice to sustain the
charge that has been made. With a full
'turnout and a fair vote, this electioneer-
lug story of our open foes, or of .the
traitors who secretly plot in our awn
Auks, will be satisfm4erily, exploded .
We do not believe it noi, but we urge
every Republican voter to` be on hand to
morrow afternoon, and satisfy
whether the accusation be true or false. t,
Choose Tow best men for: delegateS!
Pick out citizens of known character for
intelligence, integrity and prudence! If
Possible, seeet men who shall be
pledged to. no especial candidates,
but who will come tip to the .
councils of the party, on Wednesda i t,

of men; "dfoefit that; 'to the betairptiftr
ability, the county of Allegheny shall
have the best Republican ticket, this year,
that can be selected from among all her
intelligent and upright Republican voters.
Let us have such a ticket as shall make
our traducers blush for their intamous
libels • upon Republican wisdom and
virtue. A. full turn-out to-day, elect
ing for delegates good men, pledged to
nothing but the united interests of the
Republican party and of the tax-paying
people, will not fail to give us precisely
the right ticket next Wednesday.
AN INTRIGUE EXPOSED.
The Post comes to the aid of its Demo
cratic brother, who does the political
writing for the Commercial, and insists
that he shall still be suffered to keep that
journal hanging on to the verge of the
Republican ,party. This is easily ex
plained. The Commercial has been mak-
ing capital for the opposition, for the
Past three months—making it "out of the
whole cloth," coining slanders and trump
ing up a long but vague catalogue of
libels, sustained by no specific proofs, but
reiterated Again and again with much
wordy rhodomontade, which are to be the
stock in trade for the opposition during
this year's canvass. By all means, the
Post should stick to its best friend, the
officious volunteer who is managing th e
Commercial for the express purpose of
promoting the election of Gen. Geo. W.
Cass as a Democratic Governor. For
that is the little game of the Leader-
Commercial• Post Democratic coalition.
Confident of securing the nominate= o
that gentleman as their candidate, they
have laid their plans to contribute to his
election, in cutting down, if possible,
some thousands of our Republican ma
jority against him, by inflaming local
dissensions within our party. If this an
nouncement surprisee any of the Repub
lican proprietors of the Commercial, we
recommend them to look into the facts for
themselves, and they will learn more, if
they go to the bottom, than they have
hitherto dreamed of.
Does any one, here in Pittsburgh, be
lieve that the ostensible management of
the Commercial would not sell it out to
the friends of Gen. Cass, as readily as it
was offered.to those of Andrew Johnson,
three years ago ? Does any one believe
that the ultra Democratic partisan, who
really edits the Commercial, is not bent,
heart and hand, upon the election of Gen.
Cass, if nbminated by his party, which he
is-likely to be ? There can be but little ex
cuse for our own intelligent Republicans
who may wilfully shut their eyes hereaf-,
ter to the game that the Commercial is
playing. They ought to knor well, by
this time, the chronic venality and treach
ery of that journal. If any .of the Repub
lican press of Western Pennsylvania have
also been misled by the ComrQrcial's
Istrategy, their mistake was more natural,
for they did not know its peculiarities so
well. We now commend the truer view
to their attention, feelinnpelled, by a
sense of simple duty to our friends, to
warn the Republican press of the Com_
monwealth against placing any confidence
whatever, now or hereafter, in the politi
cal integrity of a journal which, tinder its
present management, is steeped in the
basest of meditated treacheries against our
Whim' organization.
DAMAGING TESTIMONY,
The English blinders of the rebel ship
Alabama, have published a letter, of
which a. Cable telegram says
The letter of the Messrs. Laird claims
that the building of the Alabama was
done in the way of business and free - ot
concealment. It was known to the Gov
ernment and public, and with the knowl
edge of the American Moister. The
vessel was meant for war purposes, and
intended for the use of the Confederate
GovernMent. It was notorious that no
haste or secrecy was observed.ln any of
the operations. Had there been anything
Mead in the building or fitting out of the
ship, ample time and opportunity ex•
fisted for the Government to seize ber,
and the officers of the Custom House
were informed on the 21st of July that
shwas ready:far sea`. and. might leave at
an hour she pleased. No attempt was
made
eto detain her, though. Pasamore
an others made affidavits that menwei a
'enlisted to serve on her. They take the
grtinad that the contract entered into for
th building of the ship was not at vari
an with the laws of England, the opin
lo of the English people or practice of
tor i nations. They quote written
opi ons which they allege support their
potion and go to show that the Alaba
ma left Birkenhead unarmed, and went
to Azores, to which place men anctarms
were sent from other ports. `
This letter really states ;'nothing new,
since the facts embodiedin it were
,
equally well known, and susceptible of
ample proof through. other channels be
fore. But as an open and explicit ac
knowledgment of these facts, from the
Parties who were individually most com
pletely privy, to the transactions, its
,
publication at this moment seems to have
fallen like an, exploding shell upon the
English press . and public. •• As an unde
niable exposition of the clear liability of
that governMent, for all the damages re
.
1 suiting from its neglect to enforce its own
aeutrality-laws, the 'London journals see
no other way of breaking its force than
by recriminations against America.
They frankly concede that,' as concerns
the Alabama, the law and the &Mb are
plainly against theM unless the statements
of this letter shall be fully, disproved.
We quote: I .
i 1
The Standard saya of Lairds' letter that
the Govar charge of negligence against
ernment. Bat; whatever Eng
land's offence 'tnay have been, it is out
done one hundred! fold by the wilful
and wanton offenses of the United States
against England, and any settlement
will leave a heavy 'balance against the
states. England's obligations were bro
ken for the North asSrell ail the. South.
The Americanswere, eivally OUT of:a
1
r
.~:.,
'Watch of , international obligations in
the case of the Caroline, and in the case
of the Fenian drillings and organizations.
The Star thinks Lairds' letter aggra
vates the, action of the British Govern
ment, besides the obligations of the Gov
ernment to prevent all risk from the issu
ing forth of the Alabama. The ship was
known as destined to prey on American
commerce. Further obligations are
raised by the fact that the Alabama was
built and pierced for guns, and to accom
modate a war crew, facts reported by
British Custom House officers, as also
that she was really intended for war pur
poses. This knowledge obviously, de-.
volved upon the Government the duty
of making the foreign enlistment act go
as far as possible in this case. There is
good reason to suspect that the act would
have gone far enough if a hearty effort
had been made to stretch its provisions
honestly tind extend its purpose to the
case. 1

Miss Dargon's Readings—G. A. R. Dec
oration of Soldiers' Graves on Satur

Coirisooudeuee of the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
NEW BniowroN, May 28. 1869
Miss Dargon gave a select reading in
Concert Hall, this place, last night, for
which she deserves credit, as well as pro
per remuneration. She has a good voice,
articulates ; ire% gesticulation quite good,
and, withal, is an apt mimic, which is
very important in her vocation. She will
read again to-night at the same place.
The members of the Grand Army of
the Republic, Post No. —, of New
Brighton, are busy preparing for the dec
oration ceremonies which are to take
place on tomorrow (Saturday,) after
noon. -Business is to be suspended sev
eral hours, so that all may attend.
Those of us who are loyal to God as
well as to our country, who appreciate the
sacrifice of the Son of God for the welfare
of the whole worldo as well as, nay more,
than the sacrifice of our noble brothers
for the welfare of our country, regret very
much that General Logan found it in - his
heart to ask us to attend to those cere
monies on the Lord's holy day; but we
are glad that the ministers of this post. as
also many others have 'substituted Sat
urday for Sabbath.
While we decorate the graves of our
fallen heroes, let us also remember our
duty toward the dear ones they have left
behind, and in our care. Their debtors
we are. Let us do right by them, and not
let them suffer if we can prevent it. Let
us also pray the Ruler of nations that the
blessings so dearly bought`may never be
wrested from us. C.

Another Church Organizer'
(Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
BEAVER PALLE+, May 28, 1869
This enterprising town, added another
to its church organizations on last Sab
bath, to be known as "The Methodist
Church" of Beaver Falls. It is a branch
of the First Methodist Church of New
Brighton, of which B. F. Crowther is
pastor, who also had the honor of organ
izing the new church, and will sustain
the relation of pastor until other arrange
ments can be made. The intention is to
erect a house of worship this summer.
The prospects are encouraging. For a
while the services will be held in the
School House, Sabbath afternoons, at 3
o'clock. S.
Slave Trait Between Polynesia and
Australia
Some terrible revelations are coming'
oht respecting the atrocities committed by
British captains in "recruiting" islanders
in the southern seas, under license of the
Queensland Government. A shipmaster
and one of his crew have been committed
for that at Sydney for the murder of
three natives of the New Hebrides. It
appears that the Captain, after sdischarg•
ing a cargo at Fiji, made a raid among
the New Hebrides Islands for "niggers,
as the Polynesians are called, to work on
the newly established plantations at Fiji.
The vessel was five weeks gone, and
when It returned landed 230 natives, In
cluding six women, something like £1,200
having been cleared by the transaction.
During the voyage, off the island of
Palma, three natives weye forced on
board, who, breaking , open the hold in
which they were confined, fought for
their liberty, and were shot down and
tumbled overboard by command of the
supercargo, and under the silent sanction
of the Captain. The vessel was just on
the point of starting again from Sydney
on another expedition when the Captain
was arrested.
Tug Kirghiz tribes of Central Asia have
lately given a remarkable proof of their
capacity for civilization. Some years
ago they petitioned the Russian Govern
ment to allow a number of their women
to be carefully educated in obstetric science
in order to act as experienced midwives
for the tribes. The petition was granted,
and they are so well satisfied with the re
sult that they low apply to have certain
others of their women educated in all
branches of medicine. An exception to
the Russian law (which prohibits the
study of medicine by women) was ob
tained with some difficulty, and the
Kirghlzes are at present paging the ex
penses of board and study in St. Peters
burg for their future doctresses.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.—Diessrs. Briggs, •
of Whitwoed • Collieries, England, who
boast of bavng done so in their own in-
dividual case, make a proposal of univer
sal application. Its gist is expressed in a •
term which they use, "labor•capital.".
They would treat labor as a thing invest
ed, and having as much right to participa
tion in good profit as capital. They pro
pose that the wages given to the men shall
be equal to, that received for the seine
work in the neighborhood. The income
derived by he proprietors must be fixed
according to the capital invested, at a rate,
also simila2 to that taken by other propri
etors in the same district. Then if any
further capital remains, it shall be divided
as a bonus g in favor of an equal percentage
over the gregate amount of 'invested
capital" and of wages or salaries ("labor
capital") earned during the period in
which such profit has accrued. How
about the fosses ?
THE Loxidon Lancet joins other medi
cal authorities in condemning the use of

the exercise, like all gymnastic feats, re

stoopeshoulders may be cured at once by the
use of my Shoulder Braces, which not only main

time enhirge ' its capacity, and allow free and
full exp4nsiod to the lungs, always a necessary
condltlo4 to a healthy and perfect use of the pul

There ire hundreds of females who would find
great benefit from wearing these 'boulder braces
as they are so constructed as to take all the drag
ging vreikht from the back or spine and suspend
the clothing from the shoulders. Those who use
my shoulder braces need not wear suspenders, as
they answer the double purpose of shou.der brace
and suspenders: in fact they are the best sus
penders:ever Invented. Sold and applied at

Show that perlo ;teal fevers and acute and chronic
disordeis uf the sto hach and bowels are among
the most prominent mill fatal diseases in this
country:. Disobedience to the laws of health, as
regards diet; the use of pernicious Stimulants:
and the l rear and tear of business excitement, and
of "tie life" generally, have much to doh with
the prealence of these maladies In our Miles;
While in the West,' and especially In the , newly
Openedidistricts, they are chiefly due to malaria,
unwholesome water, and the exposure and pri
vation incident to lift in new settlements.
Nowl iT le A TACT that that it is as possible to
prolthe human system against these maladies

Mons of assassins and thieves. Strengthen the
vital organization with HOoTETTEIVS
:ITTERS. and it becomes as capable of re
els t i e th e active principle of epidemic or endem
lc disease, as a ere-proof safe is of resisting the
actionliof combustion. This is the 'experience of
thou Inds who have remained unscathed by ma.
bilious disorders In the sickliest seasons, while
their neighbors. who neglected to tone and regu
late ttielr systems with this unequaled medicinal
stimulant., have fallen thick and fast ' around
them V•! eakness invites disease. Vigor-repels
