Railroad Company have presented'te the
City Councils a petition praying for the
right to lay a track from Water -street

Clucry alley, in order to maireconutchion
with the Eastern and Western railroads.
The Railroad Committee, to which the
Petition was consigned, yesterday regard
ed it favorably and appointed a Bah

granting the privilege sought, That road
has the entire sympathy of the public.
All desire that its - interests and welfare be
promoted. All are anxious_ that no

;ball have a fair field of corapelition
with more monied sad 'oppalent rival
corporations. But, notwithstanding all
that, , the granting of the right ,of way
1 through an obscure and worthless alley or
roadway of the city, which crosses no less
than seven important and much traveled'
thoroughfares, is a very Important prop
osition and, must be dealt with in a care
ful manner by the members of our city
assembly.. Egress is Imperatively deman
ded for the road from the city, which, by
force of circumstances, is its present ter
minus...; if the "cut" is the best it can
propose, let it have endorsement; if some
more convenient route is suggested where-
by connection can be made and an outlet
secured, the members of Council are
bound to protect the city interests, and
prevent the disseetion of streets by rail
way tracks. Before action is taken doubt
less the ease will be made out, and what;
ever decision those entrusted with the
best interests of the city will arrive at,
will be heartily and cordially endorsed by
all citizens. ~•
A PREVAILING .EPIDEMIC.
A Year ago America was anticipating
the advent of the Asiatic Cholera, and
extraordinary precautions were taken by
the municipal authoirities of most of the
towns throughout the country to prevent
the dreaded 'disease, from • becoming epi
demic. d year has passed by and we
find that those precautions were effective,
and also that the number of deaths from
cholera was largely exceeded by those by .
suicide. A contemplation of the statis
tics, of self murder during the past year,
is absolutely frightful and naturally gives
rise to the question: ,can nothing be dime
to lessen this growing evil? The law, we
believe,- regards every suicide as, self
ervidently,a and public precautions
agiiinst lunacy are not easily taken; but it
is' remarkable that a large number of the
recent inicides have been yotinc people,
who: bad not yet arrived at bodily or
mental maturity. Romance and hero
worship prevails more during the early
period of life than at any other, and the
glowing accounts of 'ghastly deeds of self
.murder, which appear from time to time
in the newspapers, as well as the.atartling
Pictures which Aisfignre the illustrated

premises, combined private philanthropic
action might be substituted. The subject
is certainly of importance enough to
challenge attention and consideration,i

gives of . political events is the 'Mirth and
derived encouragement from the bitter
controversies of the enemy, -hoping that
the great popular dissent might result
beneficially in the end to the cause of the
South. The division in the Northsuzainst
the united South, the author holds, re-
duced the odds against the latter, as sta
tistically shown by the census, and placed
both countries nearer an • equality . than
supposed. The Democratic party of the
North had disturbed the public senti
ment so necessary to prosecute the war,
and had drawn one-half of. ,the people to
its side on the question of the prosecution
of hostilities—arraying themselvcs against
the war, and from this fact strength was
derived by the ContedeTate leaders, who
used it to reinspire with hope their fol-
owers.
In 1884 the prospecta of the Confeder
acy were rosy and brilliant. Its confi
dent armies held firm positions and were
_Well. otuarnanded, and the intelligent'
Southerners watched with hoPeful eyes
the progrels of political affairs in the
North. This , jubilant spirit was strength
ened when Gen. litCLELLait was placed
*in nomination for the .Presidency by the
Democratic Convention, which • likewise
reached the climax of opposition to the
war %in resolving that it was a failure.
We adopt the author's own words in re
ferring to the action of the Chicago Con
vention, and ask careful consideration
on the part of our readers for the concise
statements he makes:
Scarcely' any Northern man of any po
litical persuasion, outside of fanaticism,
doubted that if Johnson defeated Sher
man, or that it he even held his own—in
short, that if the South accomplished
mere negative results in holding Rich
mond and Atlan ta-the. peace party
which was at thin time the whole Dem
ocratic party, would come into power,
turn the war into a Convention of State-,
and decide there the claim § of the South,
which. it was foregone conclusion and
a logical necessity could not be less than
independence.. Mr. Davis could not fall
to perceive the , significance of the Chica
go Convention, and was -certainly Intel
ligent enough to understand the condi
tionof parties in the North. He had pri
vate correspondents in that Convention.
Indeed it is well known that during the
entire war, Mr. Davis maintained secret
cogimunleations with many distin
guished Northern politicians, generally
those .or the Democratic party. The
letters and documents he received from
them were so numerous that they were
kept In; a special, private , archive,
entitled the Presidential Bureau of Cor
respondence. These confidences were
kept from Congress,. and even
from< his Cabinet ; few persons in
Richmond ever knew of the existence of
such a bureau; no curiosity hunter was
ever admitted to its papers; and so anx
ious was Mr. Davis to conceal them that
it is a curious fact that; some days before
the surrender of Richmond, he had them
conveyed to a secret place, where they
are yet supposed to be safely deposited.
In this *iunder-ground currespondenee"
Mr. Davis had been well informed of the
Chicago Convention: that "it meant peace
for the North and independence for the
South," as a distinguished gentleman of
New England wrote him, and that all
there was of doubt of the success of the
Chicago nominees depended on the suc
cess of his own administration at Rich
, tnond.
These developments will hardly sur
prise Republicans; they cannot mucli as
tonish Democrats. Made as they are by
one intimately connected with the Con
federate Government during the rebellion,
they assume an authmative shape, and
crystalize the charges time and time
again made / against the Democratic party
to like effect, but met defiantly by Its
leaders and 'contradicted. Had it not
be i m for the secret and open treachery of
that political organization during the war,
the conflict would have been drawncto a
close much earlier, and thousanda of
lives and millions of money been
saved on both sides. Had General
McCrzu.sx been elected to the Presiden
cy. and the party he represented been
restored to power, the results to the coun
try, calareities averted by a kind Provi
dence, would have been fearfully disas
trous. Instead of e triumphant peace
and s re-united country, we should have
had a degrading, sacrifice of national
honor and an 'lrreparably divided coun
try; instead of one flag; sheltering a free
people and free institutions, we should
have had two banners - 45 ti our soil, with
happiness under neithei; instead of uni
versal liberty throughout our broad lands,
we should have presented to the civilized
world the spectacle of a section of our
country dedicated to the vilest forri
of aristocracy with slavery as its fast
placed corner-stone. The American peo
ple cannot too earnestly thank God that
all these things were ruled otherwise,
that the wicked and disloyal of the North

Mr. Hughart next adverted to the large

had been favored, and asked what, in
comparison, bad been done for his un
fortunate line? It had been kept back
under a hill for years, without a prospect
for an motet, In all the dealings between
the Connellsvllle Railroad Company and
the city of Pittsburgb, the Company bad
studied the convenience of both parties;
and now the Company' were witting to
accept any proposition from the city that
would anent them a western connection.
At the time of asking fora route through
the city, by way of Cherry alley,t the
Company had in view an arrangement
with the Pittsburgbt Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railway Company. By the re
cent change of circumstances , regard
ing that Company, such arrange
ment was now ne longer _ pos
sible. An arrangement had been made,
however, with the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh Railroad Company, which would
render the Cherry alley route almost
equally desirable. The shipments of
coal from along the line of the Connells
yin° road, to Cleveland, and the bring
ing back of lake ore, an ai tide that was
in great demand with our iron men, was
one of the considerations in favor of the
proposed route.
The Company had suggested the Cher
ry alley route as the moat feeelble route
througkthe city. If Cennolls would pro
pose some other out let,the Company were
ready to accept it: In view of the priv
ileges granted lo other Companies, Coun
cils 'timid not retuse to 'grant this one.
If Councils would say they would cause
all other Railroad Omspanies to tail° up
their tracks, and not allow a tra k to
remain on a street of the 'l_ city,
the Connellsville Company wou ld; be
content to move ; , back ' Into the

Drunk and Drowned.
Correspondence of the the Pittsburgh Gazette.
NEW BRIGHTON, June 15. 1869.
Yesterday three young men, named,
John Gaden, Joe Young and --- Wooley,
who were spending their time loafing
about New Brighton,
Beaver Falls and
Fallston, managed to get drunk, and
while on the way from Beaver Falls to .
Fallston, acting the fool, of course, Gaden
and Young fell Into the race that con
ducts the water from the lower dam to
the milli at Fallston.
It seems Wooley assisted them what
he could, and Young was gotten out, but
Gaden wag drowned. The unfortunate
young man was about eighteen years old.
His father was looking for him. to have
him go t ) work, and found him drowned.
His home was in Fallston, " about half a
mile from the fatal - spot.
So this monster vice intemperance de
stroys his victlins, one' after another.
This is the third in this vicinity within
about two weeks. Where, when, and
how it ends! C.
Capturtd at Last.
About three years ago a horse was
stolen from Bailey Mitchell, a resident of
Connellaville. A. C. Siegrist was sus-
pected of the theft, and information
made against him to that effect. In the
meantime Siegrist had started out on his
travels, and reached Cincinnati, where,
it is said, he received a check, in the
shape of a commitment, to. the Ohio
Penitentiary for .a three years' term.
This. It is said, explains his absence and
the manner in which he eluded the vigi
lance of the officers, who were in search
of him for the alleged horse stealing.
Officer Wilmot kept a lookout for him,.
and finally had his persevering efforts
crowned with success in the capture of
the man in Canonsburg, Washington
county, on. Tuesday. He arrived here
this morning about one b'clock and
lodged the prisoner in the lock-up..
