TEE New York Times says The cost to the journals which consti tute the Assostiated Press of New York for news collected by the Association during 1888, and. paid by them, after de ducting all that had been paid by other journals throughout the country, as shown by their records, was $BBO 11 'par week for each paper. It has been the impression, among the Western. Press, that„the New York Asso ciation receives, fo, news sold to the Westein and other Associatioas, more than its original cost to themselves. Nor does the paragraph above quoted refute that opinion, as cleszly as desirable.

MORE 'raetc seven hundred young ladies put in applications for "light and honorable" employment in Chicago at few days ago, in response to an advertise= ment sror ballet girls to produce one of the sensational spectacular dramas of the day. These seven hundred were willing, nay anxious, to ..appear before crowded audiences, six nights in the week, in cos- tume closely resembling that worn by Mother'Eve, before she had raised much of a family. For this delicate and refined. labor, these girls expected several shil lings per night, or perhaps a trifle more, if their terpsichorean talents were well developed and their pedal extremities were pleasing to lecherous eyes. Such an exhibition of female loosnees of char acter is not alone peculiar to wicked Chi cago. Here in moral Pittsburgh, when ballet girls are wanted to figure as the "Forty Thieves," the managers of our theatres have tq . close the doors against the swarm of comely women who hive ambition to fill, the bill. There is something wrong in all this. Womanly -virtue and modesty must be largely on the decline, else why do so many turn from honest and glorifying domestic work as a thing to be'shunned, and seek hu miliating places on the stage in capacities where it is impossible to retain the purity of their hearts, even it they had such an article before applying for permission to strip .off and go nude before a sensuous public. There is a large field for educa tional reform in this direction, and the sooner inaugurated the better for general society. Let ottr girls be educated up to the belief that .they are to be the mothers of 'a race to come; that their stocks of ovomanly virtue and modesty are their most precious possesaions, and that there is no accowlishment greater than that of being able to discharge household duties, pr of being capable of earning money in a legitimate way in any of the industrial callings.' THE APPROACHING CONVENTION. The Republican State Convention will meet at Philadelphia, on Wednesday of next week, to nominate candidates for. Governor and Judge of the _Suprenie Court, and, in accordance with usage will give exoression,in the form of resolu tions, to the views and organization on topics of current political interest. It seems clear that a majority of all the delegates are instructed to re-nominate for Governor the present incumbent, General jorur W. GEARY. But there are reports, entitled to more or less reliance, which Predict his speedy transfer either to a foreign mission or to a seat in President Gs-iirT's Cabinet. Upon the probabili ties of this transfer, we do not care to speculate, because the fact is liable to speedy-disclosure. Provided Governor GEARY should ac cept a position under the National Gov_ ernment, the indications are that the choice of the Convention, for a candidate to succeed him in the administration of the affairs of this Commonwealth, will fall between General Joall F. Mawr nerirr, of Bucks county. and Hon. W. W. KETCHIIM, of Luzerne county. Gen eral HABTRANYT has an excellent war repprd behind him, and in civil trust has been mrked by strong . good sease and unquestionable probity. Mr: Krrcirum is a man of more than ordinary capacity and experience, and has passed through the ordeal of both branches of the Legis lature with high reputation. , There is no smell of dishonesty upon his garmerits. To the nomination of the Hon, H. W. WILLIAMS for Judge of the Supreme Court, there is no opposition. His con duct on the bench has fully sustained, if not largely augmented the opinion of his talent and integrity which preceded him. Probably an attempt will be made to have the Convention make an issue of the Alabama claims, on the basis of Mr. SUMNSII'S speech, or some other extreme presentation of the cue. We trust the Convention will not listen to this sugges tion, no matter from what quarter it may come. Months ago, we assured our read era that a plan lied been concerted to place the dequind for indemnity on snch grounds as necessarily to lead to war with Great Britain. What we foresaw, has since been so plainly developed , that all must see it. There may be not a little of partizan charlatanism mixed up in the Proposed movement. If so, We remark that this is much too serious a question to be dealt with after that manner. Repub licans throughout the whole land have a just confidence in the competency of the national government to manage this delicate question in a manner to vindi cate the rightaof aggrieved citizens, and, it the same time, to maintain the public honor. When this confidence shall be disappointed—which it is not likely to be—it will be time enough to drag this issue into State politics. WHICH SHALL BE THE POLICY t From London, comes a rumor of the pprpprt of the American Minister's B re t official communication to the English government. He makes a ornial an nouncement of the rejection of the Ala bama treat] by the : Senate; innt.t* government concurs heartily in that dis position, of the matter. Expressing our AITTSBURGH GAZEitE earnest desire for. the adjustment of all differences between the two nations, he invite's further overtures from England, for which our liberal consideration is pledged. It is worthy of note that Mr. MOTLEY specifically recognizes the exist- ence of individual claims for damages on both sides. This does not concede the •justice' of those claims, but simply regards the fact of their existence. In the general agreement of this rumor with the received American understand ing of the.nature of the instructions given to our Minister from Washington, we find reason to consider it reliable, and also to presume that his first official note to the English Court simply includes all that: we have now 'to say touching this question. it is thus left with England to neglect or to resume further negotiations at her discre tion. This position of the affair is quite in accord with the preTailing judgment of this country, which would place the Yespo sibility, for the settlement of the contr versy, with England, where it prope ly belongs. i Of course, we all know that this American judgment stands squarely upon an equally general American conviction, that England cannot afford to leave the question always open, and that she shall speedily come, herself, -- to the same conclusion. Our view of the situa tion is about, to be put to the test of events. Unless the English justify our expectations by originating fresh propo sitions for a settlement, our people must, consistently, look upon these Alabama claims as adjourned to a more convenient season—and the question as laid aside accordingly. It seems entirely . safe to predict that no unseemly haste, to reopen the negotiations, will be manifested from the other side. Upon the case as it is now left, suppos ing our construction of the situation to be correct, it is apparent that the Adminis tration occupies ground with which a partizan clamor demanding the enforce ment of these claims, would directly con flict. The President, advised by his Cabinet, presents the American policy as one of masterly inactivity. We have Put our claims on the record; we protest that they shall neither be reject ed nor forgotten ; and We patiently await such response as England may see fit to make. Ijow, if Messrs. Sumner, Butler, Forney A: Co., pro pose to push things by making a political issue upon this emit' oversy, and attempt ing to force the Administration into more vigorous measures, it will be easy to see that instead of supporting the President, the policy of these gentlemen could not fail to embarrass him exceedingly. Gran ted that their views are to prevail, Mr. MOTLEY must again take up the negotia tions which he has just laid down, and his country will be again burthened with the responsibility, of discovering and presenting a practical mode of settlement, of, which it has just divested itself. If Republicans would give a cordial and intelligent support to the Administration in this business, we shpuld confine our selves to the endorsement of its present position, and be careful to avoid any sug gestions beyond. The politician who in trigues to get up a party war-cry on the Alabama question, as 'the international diplomacy now stands, is no well-wisher to President GRANT. . THE GERMANS AND THE FOURTH OF JULY. EDITORS GAZETTE : Allow me to clr rect an impression, which undoubtedly was made on the English-speaking Amer icans, in reading the proceedings of the Germans on Friday last, respecting the celebration of the coming Fourth of July. The reporters of the English papers said, that the Germans will show their strength in breaking down the Sunday law. That is evidently a mistake, as no such intentloh is nursed ins the heart of any loyal German. All that the free thinking Germans want to show. to those who think that the Sabbath is only for praying to-forgive the sins which ha,ve accumulated during tile 'week, is, that the day, when, ninety-three years ago, the greatest truth for mankind was proclaimed: "that all men were born free and hide pendent" is to be held holy and in re membrance to child and children's chil dren, and that on that day the brightest star has ascenaed on the political Anna meat. In this view the free-thinking Germans will always celebrate the all. coming Fourth of July. A Gzabult., As Eastern journal puts a sharp point for the consideration of those rash politi cians who propose the Alabama question for Republican capital. It says: If the Republicans take up the cry . of "War with England" as a means of party success, the Democrats will far outcry them in -that direction. The Democracy can not only get up a cry of the loudest and fiercest kind, but their leaders can urge, on Irenian raids into Canada as a way of opening hostilities, and if this be not enough, they can vote in Congress for peremptory war. In fact. they can outdo the Administration Party on ,every point in this respect, for they are not re sponsible, like the Administration Party, for the carrying out of their own pro gramme. OF nix new project called the Cincin nati, Salem and Youngstown Railroad, a Cincinnati journal says: This company proposes by the construc tion of about fifty miles of railroad to se cure a very direct line from this place to Erie,• Pa. The route will be' over the Wilmington d Zanesville.road, thence over new road to Dresden—over Pittsburgh and Columbus road to Trenton—thence new road to New Philadelphia—over Tuscarawas branch to Bayard•—thence new road through Salem to Youngstown —aver Pittsburgh and Erie road to . Erie. This will makto3 very 'important line tor Cincinnati; It will cut several, of they gtand trunk lines In such a way as to shorten distances to this place'materially. • -4, TrESDAT; - JUNE 15, ALLIANCE, 0.

LCorrespondence of the the Pittsburgh Gazette ALLIANCE, 0., June 8, 1869, EDITORS GAZETTE : Having been spending several days here, attending the sessions of the Ohio State Missionary So ciety, I have thought that a word for your readers would prove acceptable from this inland metropolis, for such the people re gard it. "Great expectations" are enter tained, that even the Smoky City may, at no very. distant day; be somewhat rivalled by this inland aspirant. Ye denizens of smoke look well to your future, else per- Adventure you may, when too late, awaken to the fact that your glory, if not departed, is being gradually eclipsed. Whilst the good citizens of Alliance are,• we think, entirely too sanguine in their expectations of future greatness as a city, they have whereof to be proud. They deserve well for their expressed judgment of what should constitute the foundation of a city. If they fail to rival the "Smoky City" • in numbers, manufacto ries, &c., &c., they certainly bid fair to equal, if not excel. in the worth of their citizens, if first class educational institu tions haVe anything to dO with the char acter of men. Whilst Alliance may never boast of material wealth,* public build ings, works of art, &c., '&c., she. ma • challenge comparison in her..6hools. Her educational facilities are certainly fully equal, if not superior, to older communi ties. She has a first class Union School, in which everly child may receive'a colle giate education. .Here stands Alliance College, a magnificent structure, the off spring of the public spirit and personal energy of a few men among whom to will was to do, and almost with the celerity of an Aladdin's palace was Alliance College builded, and now stands perfectly equipped for the Work of education, enrolling during her first year nearly three hundred pupils. But Alliance proper is not all of Alliance in the educational field. A short distance south lies the quiet and unpretending vil lage of Mt. Union, in which is another school, deserving a wider reputation than it now possesses. Here stands Mt. Union College, fully panoplied for the educational work; having ample grounds, splendid buildings, complete apparatus, philosophical, chemical, &c.; an eaten= sive cabinet of curiosities, selected with great care and taste from nearly all ages and parts of thb world; a fall and efficient corps of gentlemanly profes sors in the various departments; the whole presided over by the President and originator of the College, making this one of themost desirable schools for the edu cation of our sons and daughters. The following facts•in reference to the origin and progress of this school will doubtless Interest many of your , readers. In the fall of 1846 a private school was opened by the present President of the College. in an upper room of a woolen factory, and continued for five months. This school was re-opened the following win- ter in a room known as the "Peoples' Meeting House," and continued with only medium success. The Prin. clpal. in the - following spring, returned to college, completed his educe ' tion in 1849, when he returned to Mt. Union and re-opened his school, which • finally resulted in the establishment of what was known as — the Mt. Union Sem inary-. With no settled plans for the future, the school was continued from session to session, and in about four years, good sets of apparatus for' illustrating the sciences had been procured, and ini tial steps taken for the erection of a school building. In 1851, a commodious building was completed. A normal de partment was added to the former sem= 'nary course of instruction, which proved a success and is still continued. A cata logue was issued in July. 1851, showing an attendance of two hundred and eleven students. The good and learned 8.f.,: John Barker, late President of Allegheny College, with prudent foresight, now urged the adoption of plans for a wider range of usetulness, and as a result, a reg ular College was contemplated. A charter was applied for and ob tained ' in 1851. The school was now placed under the con- trol of the Pittsburgh Conference of the M. E. Church. In June,- 1858, appeared the first annual College catalogue, show ing an attendance of 361 pupils, with 11 professors. Its first commencement wits held June 16th, 1858, and was large ly attended. An address was delivered by Rev. Calvin Kingsley, which awaken ed a deeper interest in the College and led to resolves for greater usefulness. How these resolves were realized the fol lowing facts, gleaned from 'a pamphlet published in 1866, will show: Whole number of students, 4,905; gentlemen, 3,338, ladies,. I,s47—coming from twen ty-your States; also from Canada, Ireland and England. Three thousand nine hun dred and sixty teachers have been sent out from the College, who have had i their schools an average enrollment of 47 pupils, do that 186,120 pupils have been taught by the students. Over 1,000 of the students, or 39 per cent., served in the late war—not one in the rebel ranks— surely a good record for loyalty, 35 per Cent. engaged permanently in teaching, 28 percent. became miaisters,7 pr. ct. far mers and 5 pr. ct. physicians. Of lady pupils 68 per cent. became teachers. The school has been formally accepted, and highly approved by a Committee of Bishops of the M. E. Church, Bishop Simpson being Chairman, thus making this one,ot the recognized Colleges of the Church. Such a school, with such a record, deserves a wide-spread popularity and patronage, and the man who under God conceived, planned arid perfected such an institution is more than'a hero. The worthy President and foun der, Rev. 0. N. Hartshorn, is still the presiding genius of the Institution, is hale and hearty and fully equipped for the . work of life. Parents seeking a school for their sons and daughters will find Mt. Union College all that they can desire. Here pupils will find health and retire.' ment, with moderate expenses, combined with a first-class faculty in the various departments of a college course. W. S. GRAY. THERE is a report from Germany of a so-called scientific experiment which was cruel; Dr. Von Trautvetter, of Berlin, clarions to know the effect on the human intestines of certain injections; experi mented on a young woman who was sup posed to be- dying of cons,uniption, and actually subjected the helpless creature to an experiment which inflicted terrible for. Me. She died an hour afterwards, and the surgeon then was able to satisfy him. self, by a post mortegt ex igkinagm pf,the 'effect behad - produesid; iiid"the case is re ported as a matter of scientiflo interest in the Prussian medical journals. 11E69. The Philadelphia Commercial List . thus treats of the recent monthly report of the Titusville Herald, which created such excitement in oil circles several days ago: The statement of the Titusville Herald, which appeared on Monday, announcing the production for May to average only 10,000 bbls daily, which, whilst 'it was almost universafly denounced as either a Oaring error or`something worse, never theless caused a momentary flutter, and June oil rose rapidly to 331 cents, but as quickly fell back to 31 cents. A very singular feature of the Herald report is the ingenious sophistry which they for the first, time inaugurate, of setting aside alarge part or the production as "unmer chantable," and not giving it a credit in the report of the yield. For instance, they admit that they take no account of 38,000 barrels, which they baptiie as "unmerchantable;" add this to the pro ductions, where of course it belongs, and we have a daily yield of 1;225 bar rels which these disinterested gentlemen quietly igrldre. It is but fair to add that competent judges estimate the daily yield in this State at about 12,500 barrels. 1. (For the Pittsburgh Gaze te..) MESSRS. EDITORS : In looking over the action of the Allegheny Counci , s on last Thursday night, published . in 'your RtTer of Friday, we-find that the ordi nance for grading and paving Ridge Avenue was tabled; although 4 had been 'passeda at a previous meeting and referred Ito the Street Committee. As, that street is the most important in the city to be I , graded and paved, we wish to inquire why this action has been taken? We who 'own property and reside on that street, have earnestly asked Councils to have it paved. We want to know what Rutside influence' has been brought to bear against the object of our petition. We know no Councilman could vote against it, except from selfish motives, outside influence, or both, and we are sat isfied such influence has been used. It !is the duty of Councils to pass the ordi inance for paving this ttreet. Let those who are opposed get up a remonstrance and give their reasons why It should not be done. It is not fair that for the selfish interests of a few who do not use the street, we who do, should be compelled to wade through mud for another year on a street leading directly into the heart of the city. Shall outside influence, or shall Right and Justice prevail ? PROPERTY OWNER In a New Place. The well known and old established china, glass and queensware dealers, Messrs. H.

They announce that ithey are now receiving a wide and varied lassortment of new goods of their' own /importation, embracing all the lines pe culiar to the trade. With their increased facilities for the transaction of the large trade awarded them, the firm confident._ Ily rely on being more than ever ready to j•meet the requirements of their patrons. We bespeak for them in their new es blish merit, a vast increase of custom, and trust that our readers will not fail to call and examine their stock if desiring , to purchase in the way of china, glass and queensware. They will find Messrs. Higby et Co. clever, honorable and fair dealing business gentlemen, with whom it is a pleasure to have transactions. Colored Church Dedication Mr.o. L. C.

Serious Cutting Array. Yesterday evening, rabent'Oght o'clock, an affray of a rather serious natureoc cur. red on Washington street, near Web ster avenue, in which all the participants, two men and a woman, were more or less injured. According -to the statement of William McCune, one of the parties en gaged in the row Mike McGovern was in the act of beating his wife, whereupon McCune interfered to save - the woman. As is customary in such oases husband and wife united in an attack upon Mc- Cune and he resisted. Knives were used, and the result was that McGovern re ceived a severe cut in the right arta by which one of the main arteries was sev ered. Mrs. McGovern was out in the hand and McCune also received a severe cut in the left hand. McCune was arres ted and locked up fora hearing. Infor mations will be made against ell the par ties, we learn. Afloat and Ashore.

The parties had partaken freely of pugilistic whiskey previous to the encounter, which accounts, fu a measure, for the spirited nature of the affair. Alderman Lynch issued a war; rant for the arrest of Barrett on a charge of mayneim. COAL IN TUE PACIFIC STATES.—The Alta California, in a recent issue, from in formation given by a visitor to the region, states that the coal deposits of Wyoming Territory extend for nearly 300 miles along the Union Pacific Railroad, from Carbon to Evanstown stations. Six mines are now open, and the locomotives are using the coal, which contains, by analysis, 60 per cent. of carbon, 12 of water in combination, and 28 of inflam. mable gases. It is known by the name of 'Anthralignite. The principal mines • are at Carbon, 650 miles west of Omaha, and extensive shafts and drifts have been run since August, 1868. From 250 to 300 miners are at work, earning from $7 to $l2 a day in currency. Last winter, coal sold at Omaha for $27.50 a ton, but the new mines, it is asserted, will reduce the price to one-half or even one-third•of that o rate, and will supply way stations where coal heretofore eould not be -otr tained. At Black Buttes and Point of Rocks stations, also, there are extensive mines. At Point of Rocks, there is a hill-side drift, with three chutes, of a capacity to load one hundred cars, or ten tons each. • - MAYER' s apparatus for telegraphing in fac similie is employed in the French tel egraphie service, the 'direction of which is confided to the Viscount de Vougy. The message itself does the duty of the interpreter, and controls the electrical power so as to make it perfectly faithful. The Meyer system is not a copy of the message sent, but the fac limit's of wri ting; so that telegraphic despatches pre; sent, as regards exactitude and authenti city, all the guaranties now found in pos tal communications. The Abbe Caselli, an Italian, has already solved this prob lem; but experiencebas not been favorable to his plan. The fac simile of the messa ges, reproduced by chemical processes, presented serious imperfections, which often rendered the deciphering of the message difficult, giving rise to doubts as to the authenticity of the writing. M. Meyer has' avoided these difficulties by only making use of methanlcal means. ) MAlleye'r's apparatus is at work on the railway from Paris to Lyons, and the lines from Paris to Marseilles and from Paris to Bordeaux will soon be provided with it. BRADDON, I regret to say, is still very ill, and unfit, both bodily and men tally, not only for literary work, but also for any save medical society. This state of things was partly brought on by over work. Those who had her in their toils kept her perpetually at the , pen. With an avariciousness which it is surprising She did not resist, they worried and per secuted her into constant novel writing, uhtil she could stand it no longer. If all, the truth were known about the circum stances under which her late works were written the severest critics would pity her and think more highly of her talent. —London Letter.
