received, the result of the Republican
primary Meetings held on Saturday af
ternoon throughout the county. The
elections appear to have been conducted
everywhere in an orderly manner,.and
there was a very full vote polled. We
do not know all the gentlemen whose
riames appear as delegates to the several
conventions, but have personal acquain
tance with and knowledge of the great
majority of them, in whose wisdom, jus
tice and strict integrity we fed assured
the entire people can safely repose the
largest confidence. From all Indications
the Convections will fully and faithfully
represent the Republican feeling of the
county. We are hopeful that the pro
ceedings will be harmonious, orderly and

delegates sent fresh from the .peoftle:_to

An outrageous swindle on the newspa
per proprietqrs of the country has just
developed itself in an association formed
to control the manufacture of straw print
ing paper. Finding the press of the
country asleep to their interests, a clique
of shrewd speculators purchased all the
patents held in the couhtry'kised on the
adaptition of straw in the numufacture of
paper, and, through bilge representations,
imposed on Congress and had the prin.
cipal'patent prtended seven years. They
now propose reaping the advantage of the
monopoly, and have notified paper deal
ers that they must pay a stipulated royal,
ty to them on every ream of paper made
in which straw enters, as a component.

DEATH OF WM. BARKER, ESQ.
- 4k
To-day we announce the death of a
friend, who for fully half a century h.,s
been a subscriber and reader ot the• GA
ZETTE, and who, during the same long
Period, has held high place amongst our
Most esteemed merchants; meriting the
Cbnfidence, good will and respect of all
i
with whom he came in contact, whether
.1
in soeiaLor business life. We refer to
iir. Wrid.rAm BAIILCER, who suddenly.
thong not anexpectedly, passed faun'
elarthlto eternity yesterday moining, at
hive 'deuce on Smith fi eld street. The
deceased bad attained the ripe old age of
1 1
seventy-four years. He came to this city
fr'opiKngland iri 1818, and engaged ex
tepsively in wool dealing, a trade with
which his name is intimately - associated
t4oughout the entire country. He re=
tired from business in 1863, after amass
ing a comfortable fortune, and was suc
ceeded by his nephew at the old stand.
Kind hearted, good and charitable, an
honest man in all his dealings, a consis
tent and zealous Christian, he carried
with him to the grave a long life record
pure and unsullied, and such as assures
the hopelhat - he closed his eyes iii death
to open them anew in an eternity of hap
piness.

THE GREAT TRITIH“RAILWAY.
We print elsewhere such particulars,
of the lease of the Fort Wayne line to the
Pennsylvania Railroad, as have yet
reached us. It is somewhat remarkable
that the press of this city should have
been entirely precluded from any
reliable information, as to the progress
and final consummation of , a transaction
in which our local interests are so deeply
concerned. Although one of the corpo
rations has maintained its principal office
in this city, our journals have invariably
first learned of any important developL
ments in its current policy, through the
press of New York and Philadelphia.
We do not complain of this, but suggest
it as explanatory of the occasional misap
prehension into which our newspapers
have been led. Perhaps, after July, we`
shall have less need for seeking home
news in the New York journals.
This lease is very justly regarded as
taking the Fort Wayne property entirely
out Of the speculative stock•markets, re .
tiring It as a solid and permanent iuvest
meat, of the most desirable character, for
one or more generations to come. The
active accounts of the Company. are
about to close, upon a basis which pre
sents the brightest vindication of the en
ergy and wisdom devoted to its manage
ment through all difficulties and perils.
We doubt if a more distinguished exam
ple of administrative skill and of financial
success can be found In the entire railway
field of this country, than is afforded in
the history of the Fort Wayne Railroad,
from the days of its early and almost
hopeless struggles, against an unfavorable
tide of circumstances, up to this hour,
when the record is erowried by an abso
lute and irreversible success. •
The Pennsylvania Railroad thus non-*
netts its Philadelphia terminus, at the
seaboard, with another at Chicago, and
still another at Cincinnati, each a direct
line of eight hundred miles, and the first
complete consolidated railway from the
Atlantic coast to those great internal en
trepots of the tragic of the Continent.
The lines from Omaha will pour the bu
siness of the Pacific , coast Into her Chi
cago depots, and all the States of the
Snuthwest will offer their tributary trade
at Cincinnati: The policy which has
Cal ried our great Pennsylvania enterprise
'to thOse far western points, is not likely •
to halt there. We may safely anticipate
for it a continued progreis, and Emcees
see reaching still farther. '
We may look upon our own city as
thus becoming the gateway for the most
conaiderable'rallway traffic of the Amer
ican continent, and the benefits to ensile
thereby, directly and indirectly, to our
material intetests, are simply above the
reach of any present comptration.

that government whose ready aid, and
perfidious aid, to. rebellion in behalf of

force the lesson in the story of the ha
tred of the monarchy of republican insti

government, at its birth, hiring Hes

the battiest against our fathers in
the war for independence. That govern

the rule on land, even against 'an infant
republic, yet vaunting herself mistress
of the sea, and through search in after
years, tried but failed.to make the ocean
and those who go down to, the seas her
subjects. Let us tell our children, and

hover around us to bear us witness and
impress the lesson , .
how, when slavery,
her legacy to us as a nation,, had caused
treason and rebellion to raise their par.

and by its' fiendish spirit to arm brother

Supposed Sulade—A Touching Letter.
At Chicago, about one o'clock Sunday,
morning, a lady's cloak was found lying "
on the wharf, and soon after a lady's hat
was discovered floatieg in the river. In
the pocket of the cloak were found sev
eral letters, two photographs, and a
handkerchief, marked "Nellie E. Dor
sett." These letters explained a story of
lote, elopement, desertion and death.
The letters were written by a young mall
named Geo. H. Burr, a traveling agent
for a New York drug hotise,
to Nellie, and are marked by
the usual characteristics of , such let-'
ters. There was but one letter written
by the girl, and this shows her :determi
nation to commit self-destruction. It is
as follows: "Dear George: It is is not in
anger I write to you now. I have no.
curses to heap upon you, but only love
and forgiveness. Oh, George, if you had
only known how fervently, passiorudely
I love you, you would not have deserted
me 'so cruelly. I left home, parents,•'
everything for you, George, trust
ing to your love, for -you did
love •me once. Oh, how my heart
yearns for a return of its de
votion. But I will not reproach you. •
arliaweary and shall soon be aterest, ,
and God, perhaps, will forgive the error'
of a poor girl. so unworthy of his love.
I have left my watch for Mrs.-Poster to
send to mother. My rings , and your
little locket I have put up, in a package
for you. I would not leave you,- dear
George. without a token of my love, and
if this last act of - mine shall touch your
heart, I shall be happy in death. Pray
for me. Good night! Good night!
NELLIE."
Some two weeks since the Superin
tendent of Police of Chicago received a
letter from M. DI, Dorsett, 268 Broadwar,
New York, saying that his daughter
Nellie had eloped with 'Burr and would
probably come to that city. The liver
was dragged, bat no body found. '
sacred Concert.
With pleasure we learn that Philip
Phillips, better known as the Singing
Pilgrim. is to give one of his entertain
ments at the First Methodist Church,
(Rev. A. Clarke's,) Filth avenue, on
Wednesday evening, June 2d. This is
our usual prayer meeting night, bat an
evening cannot be more profitably spent
than.in listening to his wonderful voice
in the rendition of sacred ;melodies now
peculiarly his own. At his last concert
the church was filled with a delighted
audience. We have no doubt this one
will be as successful. Tickets are , for
sale at the principal music stores of ithis
and Allegheny City.. Go by all means,
and early if you want a good seat.
East Liberty' 6oncert.

East laberty is fast becoming one of
the most populated parts of our consol
idated city, without losing the charms of
a delightful landscape: It prossestles,
perhaps, a larger amount of refinement
than most populations, and offers all the
attractions of the country. Hence we
predict that Mr. C. Tetedoux' Concert,
on Thursday next, will. be attended both
by the lovers of music in the place itself
and by the lovers of' pure air from Pitts
burgh. We need not say that the enter
tainment will meet the - highest expecta
tions, and add new laurels to the well
established reputation of our amateurs.
