tulerably correct 4 biference as to the pre

Busnyass in the anthracite-coal dis

uncertain and we already hear of much
suffering among the operatives.. The
maid point of dispute is presented in the
claim of the mining Unions to control
the sale of the coal, a demand which the
employers- wholly reject. In the mean
time, the consumption of the bituminous

;HET.
Tan National Inteiligeacer, was, for ,
two generations of the people, the most
generally. accepted and respected political
jowl:Lel at the Federal Capital. In more
than one sense, it exercised, and deserv
edly, a wider political hiflupnce than any
other journal in America. The years of
its greatest power were prior to the new era
of rail ways , and telegraphs, since when the
publication of the current news has come
to be an indispensable feature in successful
journalisuwand the Press of the larger
cities at once took and must keep the lead.
About the same time, the politicalconduct
of the Inteiligeseer ceased to be marked by
the scholarly ability and vigilant sagacity
of its founders, and the fortunes of that
old journal at once began to wane. Then
came Johrnionism—and the final catastro
phe was not far off. That newspaper,wldch
the wisdom and grace of .TOSEPH Geis
made for a third of a century a power to
be felt in the Republic, perishing at last
from internal embarrassments, is to be
merged forever in an ephemeral cotem
porary.
AND row COMES Special Commissioner
Holum, of Illinois, an old personal Mead
of the President, and a citizen of much ex
perience and high character, whose report,
upon the actual condition of the Pacific
railways, ispublished, filling five columns
of the' Chliago Republican. The Com
missioner reiterates. with the greatest
minuteness, _the statements which have
heretofore apprised; the people of the
very incomplete condition of this great
work. His report cannot but confirm the
general impression of the unsatisfactory
failure of the companies thus far to make
good their public engagements. So far,
the document has a special value,
and, under all the circumstances, must
have weight in the proper quarters. The
Commissioner proceeds to recommend
that Congress shall avail itself of the right
which was reserved in the amendatory act
Of July 2, '64, subordinating th 6 Govern
ment lien to that of the Company's mort
gage bonds, 'KO alter, amend or repent
this act at any time,"' to repeal that lir
rangement forthwith, thereby restoring
the full value of the public security for the
funds disbursed from the Treasury. Oth
,erwiee, in the Commissioner's opinion,
the Company ir not unlikely to avail
itself of the existing facilities for bringing
about a sacrifice of the road for its first
,Mortgage debt to the individual holders
of the bonds. This suggestion is worthy
of the closest consideration by Congress,
• Tan Waynesburg Republican states
"upon authority," that a local contribu
tion of $500,000 will Insure the comple
tiOn of the Monongahela Valley Railroad,
by the Pennsylvania Central corporation,
from Pittsburgh to the West Virginia
line. A proposition to that effect is said
to have been recently made. these
statements are reliable—and we. have no
reason to think them otherwise—the peo
pleof Allegheny, Washington, Payette,
And Greene counties have it in their
power to secure the highest public ad
vantages at a very small cost. The terms
offered are even more liberal than those
which have just resulted in fixing the
construction of the Chartiers Railway to
Washington as a certainty, and involve
tut an insignificant per centage upon the
total wealth of these four populous and
prosperous counties.' We shall feel the
highest &Mitts:l44m in learning that an
effort to realize the proposition will be
, speedily made, having no doubt what
ever of its success, if prosecuted- by the
right men and in the most judicious way.
PrOm the State line, the people of the
west Virginian counties would find the
way to extend the road,crossing the Balti
more & Ohio Railway en route to Charles
toruand thore tapping the Ohesapeake and
Ohio line. Thence, its progress South
and Southwestward would be only a
question ot time; and of the successful de
velopment of. a region wonderfully rich
in every, mineral 'resource. We are con
fident that this Oharleiton connection
with Pittsburgh can be casummitted at
a cost of not over one million of, dollars
to the people of the country which it
would traverse—a cost which wield be

dirt-cheap, if the money were even re
garded as given away, in view of the
hundred-fold return within the • ensuing
twenty yearsTto the cash valuation of
their other property of every description.
The manufacturers and merchants of
Pittsburgh could ' well afford to invest
that amount in opening up the resources
of so rich a mineral field, and in securing
a traffic of which at present they get not
a dollar. But it will not be well to rely
tap= this yip w of the Case; the work must
be done arid the funds provided in the
mode first above indicated, to insure the
desired success.
Oast unicasts, that the action of States
upon a Constitutional Article submitted
to them, whether they ratify or reject it,
must be legally regarded as conclusive
upon themselves, does not meet the as
sent of the Wheeling Inteiligencer, which
insists upon a distinction between the
two forms of action. Our cotemporary
regards the act of ratification as final, and
not to be recalled by State authority, but
Suggests that a rejection, like that'of Ohio,
may be reconsidered. This is not the
view which is taken of this point by the
Ohio Republicans, who, as it is remarked
by one of their journals, "regard the
legal questions involved as taking
the question of such a reversal of the
Legislative action, entirely out of the
canvass." There is,
,nevertheless, an evi
dent difference between the attempt to re
call the assent already given to a contract
and the timely reconsideration of a re
fusal so to contract, especially when that
reconsideration is had while the contract
remains still upperfected, by the delay of
action in other States thereupon. In the
latter cam, no injury results to the other
parties to the engagement, which is only
the more speedily perfected by such re
consideration, while in the former the
simple expression of the State assent
meets all, the Constitutional requirements
and can find no Constitutional authority
for its - withdrawal. It is also evident
that our Ohio friend', in declining
to make an issue upon the right
to reconsider the rejection by their State
Legislature, have so forborne because
they did not regard this distinction as
strong and broad enough to justify its
formal recognition in their platform.
They have said all that the' premises
would justify—that they approve 'the
principle which the Articleembodies, and
earnestly desires its ultimate adoption by
the country.
Here in Pennsylvania, the more rugged
issue is made for us 'by our opponents'
who are foolish enough to go the whole
length of insisting upon the right of a
Democratic Legislature, if they can
elect one, to withdraw the ratification
which the proper authority of the Com
monwealth ' has already pronounced.
Upon that sort of _an ism- :wiLanquipate
very little trouble in the canvass, ottts
result.

masterly piece of oratory.
WHERE ARE THE PAST SCHOLARS?
Vocal music under the leadership of
Dr. J. G. •Mollandleas, in which a full
chorusoined was next offered, after
which John S. Lamble Esq., (Class

the force, power and eloquence which
make him oouspicuous, a, very able in
augural address. We regret our space

walls obtained a Cadetshipat West Point,
whence he graduated with high honors
and is now a Lieutenant in the regular
army; one graduating I from here, en

conducted before an ardiy officer of high

the appointment and was publicly com
plimented for his intelligence; one is a

Go to yonder cemetry and find the hon

their lives that the nation might live.
The living form a cordon around our
Alma, each day growing stronger as
new recruits join our ranks, are a power
which her enemies will do well to
heed—for I can assure them that our
hearts are brave and our hands willing.
‘On the conclusion of Mr. Lambies' re
marks another musical gem was offered
which was succeeded by; a pretty and
spirited essay from-the gifted and smooth
flowing ; pen Of Miss Matte Herron,
(Class 1865.) The sprightly and pecu
liarly original manner this young lady
handled the follies of fashion was re
freshing, an nearly everybody took
home one or more of the. thrusts so
playfully sent forward. The'closing ad
dress by Rey. James F. Boice,of L:1110132-
natl, (Class 1864) on the "emands of
the Age" was then delivered. .This gen
tleman has gained ixtaition and stand
ing here and elsewhere as a brilliant,
earnest and effective, pulpit orator, and,
in the present instance, he developed his
just claims 'to the high reputation he
enjoys. His address was elegantly

THE BANQUET.
The Alumni and• guests immediately
after adjournment were waited upon by
a ooftimittee'and invited to participate in
a banquet provided in honor of the occa
sion, by the junior and senior classes. A
grand march was played bY the band and
)
the past classes, that f 1859 leading, to
gether with invited g eats,ldescended to
the improvised dinin hall where they
found the present pu Hain waiting to re
ceive them, chanting in chorus an origi
nal Latin salutatory of welcome. The
hall was beautifully decorated and the
well provided tables were arranged so
that each class was seated at its own.
The supper was all that could be desired
by the veriest epicure. Atter the cloths
ware removed, Prot Dean was called to
preside, accepting the honor with a grace
ful speech, and announcing that sentl-
Menta were In order. Th 6 first' offered
was : 1

eery of great ravn anew:tapas:ie./ women—the
monument of our municipal crowtb sbd prosper
ity—tne crowning virtue or a freo and p °greatly/
people.
John H. Kerr responded ably and elo
quently. We make the following ex
tract of his remarks, which fails, how
ever, to do him full justice :
I rise to respond to a sentiment, whieh
I am sure, finds a cordial welcome, not
only in your , hearts, but in the heart of
every friend of popular education—l do
confess I feel highly honored in standing
before this enlightened and brilliant as
semblage, distinguished for so much in
tellect and beauty—; honored in being
chosen to bind our mutual garlands of
affection around the temples of our be.
loved mother and to lay offerings at her
shrine.
'There is a beautiful. German supersti-
Mu that unseen Engels constantly attend
us, and that he who first breaks the spell,
after a sudden silence is moved by an
angel'et wing —I feel to-night as
if • the memory of other days,
rich with precious recollections, had
fanned my soul with celestial touch,
awakening thoughts and feelings that bid
me speak the language of gratitude in be
half of that institution within ' whose clim
ate hallid acquired all the HO le k u owledge
I possess; that bid me speak to the p
pie of this growing city for the more lib.
eel endowment of this institution which
is, the People's College. Here in this
city, grasping so numb wealth, - girt by,.
hills of inexhaustible coal,' here where'
its furnaces, its spindles;*lter looms, an
vile and half reasoning machinery hymn
the anthem of toil, herein this Cosmos,—;
this world of complex and dive; ei tied in
dustry should be erected a free college.
this pity has been terrned the Birming
ham, may we not also make it the Athena
of America. • •
And drat of all lot Esthetics be recog
nised In the school room. As the log
cabin has - disappeared to make room for
- the elegant mansion; ea we beautify our
homes to make them attractive, suoqid
we not' make the school room attractive?
Byittraction the universe is held togeth
er by Divine law. Relieve the monotony
of these dreary. Walls by painting.
Teach history by writing its great
events on canvass; f Fill every niche
with statuette 4. Their) are the poetry of
the eye, as music is the poetry of the ear.
These, bare walls will make the student's
heart 'cold and petrified, but painting
like the solar ray will write a picture on
his Mind. We felicitate each other
that in the nos distant Altura we shall
have an edifice, crowning yon height,
which will indeed be the monument, of
our municipal growth and prosperity, at•
s%. .=
fording infopportunityto the humblestto .
be the equal of any, if he can. Our com
mon schools ale grand as the common air,
the oommon rain, the common sunshine,
grand for their coma-minus. They gather
in the masses and garner their worth.
Out of them shall go forth some future
Newton to bind his temples with the
stars of Orion's belt, or some Herschel to
light up his cell with the blaze of before
undiscovbred planets. Other institutions
may be more favored,the common school
alone meets the demand of the age.
Others may fall, but nothing but the Al
mighty fiat can lay its beaming head in
the dust. The benedictions of a whole
people are uttered for its welfare. Yes,
"Our hearti. our hopes, are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes. our I), ayers, our tears,
Our fah h. triutapdahvo'er our fears.
Are all with thee, are all with thee•"
• Bat as we venerate mind pore than
matter, as we love friends more than
places, so do we honor the Professors of
this institution. To our beloved Princi
pal, now presiding, we owe our lasting
gratitude. He has become identified
with this institution; its glory is his
glory, its success is his success.
I Mr. Herr closed by offering the follow-
ing sentiment:
OUR PROPEEMOREI, Guides of our youth, their
most enduring fame,- our success.
This called a very neat and happy
speech from Prof. Dean, who briefly ad
verted to the history of the High School,
its trials, troubles and triumphs. He
was delighted to meet "my children,"
for he claimed the right to call them such
even yet, and was pleased that they ven
erated, remembered and respected Alma .
Mater. He concluded by toasting the
"School Directors," and Mr. T. J. Craig
responded in a felicitous speech.
Prof. Luckey was next called upon to
respond to a sentiment complimentary
to himself, and did so in a sensible and
practical manner, expressing the great
pleasure he derived from the occasim:
Mr. Amos L. Asper offered:
017BUMISTS—once Hlglej3chool boys and girls—
:the-wets which a de ; has set in the crown
of Alma Mater.
This drew J. G. Bryant, Esq., of the
Pittsburgh bar, to his feet. He responded
ably, appropriately and eloquently.
Mr. W. H. Moore offered: '
Ot'a HOSTS—the clasa of 1869 whose bountiful
hosottal:ty has reverted the order of jNiaturs,
the. the old provide fur the young. May their
future be ever unclouded. 1 .
This was nobly responded to by one of
'69, Miss Maggie Williams, whose ad
dregs was pretty and sparkling.
In response to a sentiment offered,
-complimentary to the business men grad
uating from the High School, Mi. W. H.
Moore made a neat abd happily worded
speech, closing as follows:
There is prevaienamong many who
wear the armor of a University discipline
a foolish disdain of dily labor and toil,
and being inoculated with that feeling of
aristocracy, they a prone to regard the
professions as the s !table life worthy of l i
the educated man s nd placing but a mer
cenary estimate ti n humanity, look
down upon busin g as of the earth, very
dirty. Recognizin a just aristocracy I
claim a higher re rd for a mercantile
life and base it upo the antiquity of bu
siness, and more e pecially the callings
of the present day bd of our immediate
locality. The Oil trade, stretching far
1
back of Venango a d Nantucket, dates
from the time of Jonah, for then they got
&prophet out of a whale. The Glass busi
ness is coeval with! the creation of man,
for they put light* in him, and made
him subject to i pains. And the
Steal business, tronically speaking,
has occupied themihids of men—especi
ally legislators—ni t er since governments
had form or countries treasure. In the
pursuit of our calling, our way through
life may not be carpeted with roses, the
path may be rugged and matted with
thorns, bat armed with the highest and
beat 6f all qualities, because most spirit
ual and therefore ost vital, a chastity
of hbnor, that feel a Main likes wound,
a dignity and ea estness of purpose,
and lan tinswerri devotion to duty,
whinh alone cons crate exertion, and
without which-the can be no perms
inane, success or r tentionof power, we
eh I have r - for ourselves the
mighty structure f a noble oharactor,
a
anthough other gain or fame be not
ours, yet in its glories we shall
real ze that our la rs have not been in
yak. The lateness of the hour, and the
amcunt of ' still unfinished business
warns us'_ that here unlike our daily
selves, "we take no note of time," and
Lwould only ask, shall we not' all to

In our notice, of the pleasant occasion • t j i
of that-evening in the Boys' Department. t,
it may be well to pay Passing tribute to
the elegant college rooms recentlyopen
ed for the young ladies attending theln-, '
stitute. To the commodious and well*
appointed four, story building, No. 256
Penntstreet, in the very heart of one of
the prettiest and most secluded neigh
borhoods of , the city, they have;
been transferred, and pursue theii
studies thera under the most-care. J
fed surveillance and beat possible
direction and with a success highly credit
able to the faculty and satisfactory to their
frieqds. The; various class rooms are
fitted and furnished in chaste and Inuit-
rious style and must prove incentives to
Lstudy. The entrance hall, the elegant
music rooms; and parlors, the classical
and preparatdry departments are all en
ticing, and the young ladies cannot too
highly appreciate the comforts and con
veniences with which surrounded. Here,
as in the Boys' School, which is but
a few doors above in the same
street, a. large and judiciously se
lected - faculty preside, and the curricu
lum of studies takes in all branches fit
,ting the scholars for usefulness \as well
as to adorn the walks of the highest
order of society. The attendance in the
ladled department has been large, but in
the commodious new quarters allotted
them there is ample room for more
pupils, and those who were hitherto de
prived admittance, because of insuffi
ciency of morn t o accommodate them,.
can now be permitted to enter and par
take of the decided edneaticmid
advantages afforded. :Professor 7.

are too well known and appreciated in
this community, as successful educators
of the young, to need any commendation
at our hands. The Tall term of the In
stitute will commence in September
next, so that mach intervening time is
allowed parents and guardians charged
with the education of the young. tomake
inquiry into the character, standing, suc
cess and tone of the highly prized home
place of education, and we bespeak such
inquiry in its behalf, believing that its
best advertisement is in the finish of its
past scholars and the proficiency of those
at present in attendance. 1 _
