Henee, the field everywhere swarms with
the aspirants of our party, while the Con
servatives are quietly preparing to bring
forward their own men, hoping to slip
them into office. Luckily this gable has
been exposed, and steps will be taken to
defeat it.
Tan impression prevails generally at
Washington that Chief Justice CHASE
entertains the very irregular application
for an habeas corpus in the YETIGER case,
for the purpose of getting himself before
the Democracy, as their Presidential can
didate in '72, on the basis of his expected
decision against the unconstitutionality
of trials by military commission in the
unreconstructed States. We are not yet
prepared, even by our thorough convic
tion, of his insatiable ambition, tq be:
lieve that the pending application is to be
so decided, batif such a decisionihemade
there will be no reason to doubt that his
real purpose is as above Intimated. - '
Tan CUBAN PEOPAGeApIEITS, at Wash
ington, have recommended the game of
having the press•correspondents to tele
graph to the country sensational state
ments of the disposition of the President
and Cabinet to intervene in some indirect
way in behalf of the insurgents. The
Monroe doctrine is brought up, the un
happy contest is deplored, the provincial
policy of Spain is denounced, and the
liberal sentiments of the Creole rebels are
generously eulogized. Our purchase . of
the island, or its own independence, are
also 'hinted at. All *this is the idlest of
talk; it will neither influence the,Admin
istration, nor convince the country that
it is wise to abandon our settled policy.
Taut swat, TRITKEC-LINES of railway
are perfecting their Western connections
with various success. The Pennsylvania
termini for the present are at Cincinnati,
Cbicago, St. Louis - and the tipper Misshi
‘
sippl \ The N. Y. Central controls only
a -Chicago connection, relying, for the
rest, upon \ the mere courtesies, or the
business interests, of other powerful and
independent Western corporations, for its
access to most \ of the leading railway
points in the West \ and Northwest. The
Erie stops for the prpsent at Dayton,. Ohio,
with a good show for reaching Toledo; as
soon as a hundred miles of \ road can be
built from Akron to that point. From
Toledo westward, they are nownttempt
inn to secure control of the Watnish and.
Western road, which would connect
them with the Upper Missisiippl
but the effort is likely to fail. Practically,\
the through business of the Continent is
to be monopolized by the two great lines
first named, the Erie disappearing from
that competition, and the N. Y. Central
laboring under decided disadvantages.
The main railway from ocean to ocean
passes through Pittsburgh.
INSULTING THE FALLEN
It is impossible to commend anything
like a ginceful magnanimity to nurneigh.
bOr of the Post. Here it is again, angry
and vittiperative because we have recog
nized a public duty in acknowledging the
public services, and in expressing our re
spect for the political consistency of our
distinguished Democratic fellow citizen
whom the Post and its clique have lately
contrived to discredit and humiliate at
Harrisburg. We , have spoken not more
than Justly of Mr. G. W. Cass.
We can afford to do that, while the Post .
cannot; We have had no part norlot in
the shameless intrigue which has discar
ded him as unworthy of -Democratic con
fidence. The Posh, according to the
universal judg ment of this community,
bits 'bean hand and glove front the first
with his would•be assassins. We can
`bear an honorable and merited testimony
to theintegrity and courage of a political
opponent, who has faced us fora quarter
of a century, never flinching from his
flag, and always faithful among'the faith
less, ~;_whom we have again and again
beaten down, but Who neveryet surren
dered his Democratic faith. Mr. GEORdlt
W. Cass has ever been "a foeman worthy
,of our steel," and we honor ourselves in
awarding to' him the' merited meed.
Shall the Post sneer at us for that? Has not
our neighbor done quite enough ? Must
the assassins blow be followed up with
,sbuse for those who date to speak justly
ofthe victim of its malice? We advise
. _
`the 'Poet to take no exception fo our
kindly mention of Mr. Cass. It would
be wiser in maintaining; the silence which
has only been broken by its illnatured
fling at this journal. No one expects it
to praise the candidate whom, until three
days sincet It so warmlyprofessed to love.
No one wonders because the Poet, since
the convention took its vote, has not ut
tered one syllable of kind and friendly
sympathy for the betrayed' candidate of
the western Democracy. In its adula
• tion for the successftil millionaire, it has
had no word of just tribute for his
slaughtered competitor. Hundreds of
• confiding, Democrats have searched its
columns vainly, since the Convention ad
journed, for even a bare mention of the .
,name of a gentleman whom the Democ
racy, on this side of the Alleghenies,

has done, and say absolutely nothing.
Its true part is well understood by us,
by the indignant friends \ o \ f Mr. CASS,
and by the exasperated masses of our
Democracy.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The Harrisburg Telegraph lets in \ the
daylight upon the dark-lantern intrigtil ,
and corruption which secured the Demo
cratic nomination for PACKER. We quote:
"Brick Pomeroy, a noted New York
politician, was early on the ground, pull
ing the strings for Packer. He appeared
as the champion of the New York rail
road Interests, who are now compelled
to pay their due proportion of taxes to
this state, from which they desire to be
relieved; and in the event o'f , Packe 's
election, which is, however, not at I
probable, they expect to be exonerat ‘d.
The farmer, therefore, that votes ~r
Packer, may expect a tax on his r :al
estate to make up this deficiency.
Alderman Wm McMullin, Sam C:i.
son, and the whole notorious Four h
ward crowd were on hand from Monde
The fact that Packer had placed ONE aux- .
• DEED THOUSAND DOLLARS at the CUM.
mand of his friends, for the purpose of
procuring the nomination, was openly
proclaimed by the friends of Gens. Cass,
Hancock and McCandless, and not denied
by those who had the financial affairs in
charge. The uninstructed were boldly
approached, and it is positively charged
that some delegates of influence received
as high as five thousand dollars for their
vote and influence. Sixty-seven votes
were needed to make the nomination,
and these financiers understood their
business so well that they procured just
that number without fail on second bal
lot, They were determined that no more
should be spent than was actually neces
sary, as they did their work by the
job. The balance went into their own
pockets and we understand that they
are quite flush this afternoon. The Cass
men openly proclaim that their favorite
had eighty votes yesterday morning,
pledged on first ballot, but that some
traitor in their number gave the Packer
men the names of their men, who by of
fering higher prices succeeded in get
ting their votes. Some delegates, it is
said, sold themselves twice—first secur
ing their price from the Cass men and
then going to Packer's financier and sell
ing themselves over, thus pocketing the
money of both—neither of the duped dar
ing to say a word about it. The opposi
tion to Gen. Cass used deperate means to
defeat him. On Monday night every un
instructed delegate was furnished with a
circular marked "strictly private," con
taining the following ungenerous para
graph:
“Already the Opposition style him
(Cass) the soldier in peace, the citizen in
war. Every Democrat knows what dif
ficulty we have with our soldier vote at
est; but nominate Cass ' and we virtn
'. .v ask every man who drew a sword in
the war; to swallow it If you want to
wreck the party yon could not do it in a
better Way."
Considering that 'the nomination was
made by open bribery and corruption,
and maligning the opposition candidates,
the friends of Generals Hancock, M'Can
dless and Case give the nomination the
cold shoulder. Mr. Cass particularly his
been shamefully treated, and his friends
do not hesitate to express their open hos
tility. The Cass Clubs have all disap
peared from the scene of action in bitter
disgust.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.,
, The Presbyterian refers to the grand
project of the Methodists, in the purchase
-of the elegant new building on Broadway,
New York, for the Book Concern and
Mission Rooms, thus: From the roof of
the building the whole city and its adja
cent rivers, bays, and hills Ile before the
observer, while Fifth Avenue is seen to
'move up out of Union Park, directly from
its centre, a straight line of costly beauty,
to the Central Park, like the Champs
d'Ely \ sees from the place de IA Concorde
to the Arc d'Etolle and the Bois beyond.
Most of the lower and a small part of the
second story are let to one dry goods
house for fifty \thousand dollars a year..
Others portions will be rented, so that the
new burden, costing nearly one millrou
of dollars, can be easily carried and allow
the Mulberry street property, large and
valuable, to be retained for manufactur
ing purposes.
Reference was made to the action of a
colored church of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church In Kansas, that'had sev
ered its connection with that denomina
tion, and become Congregational, onsthe
ground that they were not recognized in.'
the Presbytery with' the whites. This
accords with the action of the General As
sembly that it would not be for the best
interests of the Church for the ministers
of two races of the South to meet In the
same judicatories, and recommended the
formation of Presbyteries of colored min
isters, and the estabtishment of a theolo
eical seminary for colored students.
The increase in the Baptist. Church, ac
cording to the Year Book, over last year,
is twelve thousand and sixty-two mem
bers.
On Sabbath, July 4th, Bishop Kings
ley preached in the new and spacious
Tabernacle of the Mormons at Salt Lake
city. While in Colorado Territory, he
dedicated two new Methodist Episcopal
churches, at Georgetown and Central
City. At the former the people gave a
collection of three thousand dollars, near
ly enough to cancel the remaining in
debtedness, and six thousand dollars at
the latter. The church at Central City
is the finest structure in Colorado.
The First African Baptist church, Rich

five hundred persons, and hag now a
membership of forty-five hundred and
eighty-three members.
The Liberal Christian thinks that
ninety-nine one-hundredthssof American
Unitarians are firm believerS in the final
recovery of all souls from error and evil
to truth and virtue.
, A correspondent of the Rleord, Rev. J.
'I. Smith, writes that. three years ago he
planted the first Presbyterian fhurch in
La Crosse, Wisconsin, which - had long
been regarded as an unfavorable field for
Presbyterianism. Now two churches'of
worship have been erected, though there
is but a single organization.
A chime of forty three bells were bless
ed at Buffalo, New York, with great
Ceremony. Three Bishops and one hun

This is the largest chime in the country
and cost fifty thousand dollars. The bells
vary in weight from twenty-five to forty":
three hundred pounds.
The stringent course of the General
Conference of the United Brethren in
Christ, in regard to 'Temperance secret
societies, is breeding trouble. Atone of
the annual conferences, in Indiana, se
cession Was threatened It is stated. the
Rev. D. Berger, late able editor of the
lieligious Telescope, organ of that denorn
!nation, failed to be re-elected by the
General Conference, because he thought
that the rale:on secret societies might be
changed to allow members to unite with
temperance secret societies.
The Independent represents that visit
.ors to the Jewish Temple, on Fifth ave.
nue, New York, are politeli , allowed a
seat, but are not allowed to leavetill the
service, a lengthy" one in Ger man, is
through. It would be an excellent rule
to adopt In all the churches, and thUs,
prevent the habit of uneasy people, go
ing out during service without necessary
cause.
The late sexton of the Spring street
church, New York, Mr. James Ford.
taught a class of yoarig men lin the Sun
day school. Of forty young men, taught
in it, thirty-nine were hopefully convert
ed to Christ. From under his care six
passed into the ministry of the Gospel.
What a glorious record in heaven, and
how few teachers can trace the results of
their labors so dearly!
The 'Catholic of this week contains an
editorial on "Dliorce," in which it urges
the ministers of the Protestant faith to
give-attention to the lax view on the
Divorce question among the churches, and
not waste all their time on the Temperance
and Sunday questions. Both are right—
right for Catholics to hold the marriage re
lation in such high esteem, and for Prot
estants. to use propel means to abate the
abuses named. . • ,

The Lutheran ° Observer favors lay

An exchange says in the largest Epis

Through the kindness of a friend we
learn that the General Synod of the Mo
ravian Church, which held its session at
Hernbut, Saxony, in Jane, that the rule
enjoining the dutyof parents in the Church
communion to present their children
for baptism, be retained: The following
action on the rite of baptism was
adopted ; that the present mode
of baptism by sprinkling or pour
ing be retained as the ruling prac
tice of our Church. By way of exception,
in special cases, immersion may be al
lowed, provided that there be not there
with combined a rejection of Infant Bap
dim. In regard to secret societies, the
Syriod,advised the members not to join
societies whose tendencies and maxims
are on principle drawn from publicity.
Quite a number of delegates are present
from the Anierican Branch of the Mora

Sabbath, the 4th of July, Rev. Charles
A. Dickey, late of -Pourtillnited Pres
byterian Church, Allegheny city, was in
stalled pastor of the First New School
Presbyterian church of Bt. Louis. • The
spacious edifice was closely filled. The
sermon was delivered by 'Rev. B. M.
Morton, who discoursed•from these words
"I am doing a great work, so that I can
not come down." After the pester, elect
was questioned upon hislaith, and pro
per responses by him and the congreea.
tion had been made, prayer was offered
by the presiding officer. Mr. Dickey
being duly constituted the pastor, Dr.
Niccolls of the Second chtticlr-gave the
charge to the pastor. The exercises were
interesting and his reception into the
pastorate was cordial in the highest de
gree. We believe Mr. Dickey will not
remove his family until September,
meanwhile he will enjoy most of the time
as a vacation.

Nobody to Blame.
It is a well known Mot that when any
thing of a commendable character trans
plres, or anything has been dohe which
receives the commendation of the public,
there are always a number , of persons,
both in official capacity and private life,
to claim the credit of it; but on the other
hand, if something of a mean, contemp
table nature occurs—we say occurr, be
cause no one will admit the , commission
of a mean act—there is "nobody to
blame." It was not the duty of the private
citizen to attend to the matter. and the
official had no authority to act in the ease.
An incident occurred last night which
serves to Illustrate these facts. Yester
day evening, betiveen six-and seven
o'clock. a man about fifty years of age,

moved to the watch house, and
Dr. Rodgers summoned, vvho at
once pronounced it a case .of sun
strike. The man seemed to be suffering
the most intense pain, was apparently
sensible, but was unable to speak,
although he made every effort to tic! so.
His body and limbs were completely par
alyzed. He could Move his tonguS,lips
and the muscles of the face, and Uttered
a gutteral[sound, but could not articu
late a word. At the Doctor's .re
quest he was removed out of- the
roots, which was exceedingly warn], to
the open air, after which we were in
formed Dr. McCook, who had been .pre
vionsly summoned, arrived, and the
usual remedies resorted to in such cases
were applied. About this time it be
came necessary to remove the man un
der shelter, as the rain was falling rapid
ly, and he was taken into the - hall
leading to , the Mayor's office from
the watcb-house, and laid on the
floor, with his feet in the door was, and
no part of a - bed to lie upon except a
cushion from a ehair, which had been
placed under his bead. In this conditiou
our reporter found him at half past ten
o'clock, lying alone, apparently uncared
for by any one.
It appears 'that the man was
to the watch house a few minutes 'after
seven o'clock, and consequently-;must
have lain in that ball on the bard floor
for over three hours, a piece of-negli
gence of the most brutal and heathenish
character; yet when we make inquiry as
to who was responsible, we find there
is "nobody to blame." We contend
that somebody is . fearfully respon
sible, and if this unfortunate man
should- die, when by proper care his
life might have been saved, his blood
will-be upon the hands of that respecta
ble person as though he bad murdered
him. We do not pretend to say upon
whom the responsibility rests, but we
must say that the authorities are sadly at
fault in the matter. If they have no
authority to send - such cases to an hes
pital, it is high time thatsuch authority
be obtained, and arrangements made
that would enable an officer to take the
patient there at any and all hours. If
this was the first victim of this character,
there might be some excuse for it, but
it is by no means an isolated case,
and consequently is without paliation.

TRUSSES AND HERNIA
The sad and deplorable condition of many who
are afflicted with hernia or ruptare'of the 'bowels,
calls loudly for some efficient and unmistakable
remedy that will not onlyln every case' give effi
cient relief, but in many cases-effect a radlc.i
and thorough 'cure. These cases of hernia have
become so frequent that ills computed that one
sixth of the male population are said to be
troubled, in - some way or another, With this ter
rible ailment; and in very many cases do not
know where to apply for au appropriate \ remedy,
oftentimes not knowing whether an appliance is
really needed or not; and if it should be. needed,
they often do not know where or to whom they
should make application. The world is fall of
tresses for the retention and cure of this-lament
able evil, oftentimes an inconsestiele proof of
'their total - and inadequate fitness to relieve the
sufferer. This ueed not be; DR.' KRYBER, .at
his new medicine store, No. 167 Liberty street
Is abundantly supplied with every appliance
needful, to the retention end reliat of this tern- .
ble affliction, so that every one can be properly
fitted, at a moderate - cost, with the full assurance
that the appliance la the best that the mechanical
department of surgery can afford.' The Doctor
has =sued the invesUgation of hernia with
more than ordinary care for over thirtyyears, so
that the afflicted can place implicit reliance in
his skill and Integrity, with the fall assurance
• that they will not only get the best tiuss suitable
to the case, but likewise a thot ongh and efficient
knowledge of its proper application..
There are many persons who not only sacrifice
their bee.th, but even their lives, for Want of a .
proper truss, or a truss properly applied, Siren
gulated and irreduceable rupture is a Lai more
common ailment now thsnln former years; and
may we not justly arrive at the conclusldifthat
its friquency is often occasioned by, the neglect
and carelessness of the sufferers themselves.
Zio one would be regarded as sane or exenssble
who would go for a whole Whiter without the
proper clothing.to shield them front the inolem•
era weather. but, at the same time, itt thought
11!Ight affair to suffer with a protrusion ench as
rupture that not only subjects the person to In-
convenience, but even Mabee life itself in j eop
ardy. Those of our readers who may be Bo un
fortunate as to need appliances of this' kind can
not act more wisely than to cut thliadvertise-
meat and preserve It. so as to enable them to re-
member the place where such Important proem , -
ere of life and health are Lobe procured.
