ONE WREN AGO this morning, the Pitts

Convention of the ensuing Wednesday,
complained that the "blundering old fos

State at New York, were "again at work
trying to swamp" the Democracy at Har
risburg. Will our neighbor graciously
inform us whethei the "blundering old

either case, how and why? Was the
defeat of CABs a piece of "swamping"
business done by the old fossils, or was
the nomination of PAczzu due to the
fact that "a more youthful and clear

the old "fossils" did or did not accom

to,tell us which. , Also, whether the clear

they are flat on their backs or crow from

reply is desired. •
ORGANIZE—WORK
The campaign has opened ittPennsy
vania. The two great political parties
who so often have met in conflict before
are again arrayed against each other, and,
under leaders of acknowledged strength
and power, are marshaling for the great
straggle of supremacy at the ballot box.
While we have never felt more sanguine
of a contest resulting in a Republican tri
umph, still it is eminently unwise that
we should build upon our own strength
and with arms folded calmly await vic
tory, making no effort to secure it beyond
a doubt. • The enemy has been whipped
unmercifully time and time again, but
each political castigation at the polls only
made them more eager and more deter
mined to triumph, and up they come in
each canvass as solid and resolute as
though they had never felt the shock of a
reverse. Posasibly, the Democratic
party is today as well organized and
as well prepared for the struggle
-as they ever were, and will con
duct the canvass with a wicked energy
bern from the fresh recollections of the
many disasters and defeats they have of
late suffered. On their part victory is es
teemed so highly and es a result so desir
able that nothing honest or dishonest will
remain midone to help on their cause. It
is in knowing this that the Republicans
should at once prepare to meet and repel
them step by step. With a large mat ority
in our favor, a guarantee that the ballot
box is shielded by just and trite legal
provisions against those frauds and out
rages which have been a source of
strength to the enemy, leaders who in
spire confidence and aro especially
worthy the suffrages of all honest men,
and with a platform broad, liberal and
patriotic, there can be no possible doubt
of our success if we at once organize for

OE
The recent introduction of two hundred
thousand Chinese into the population of
he Pacific slope, probably to be soon
ollowed by a vast augmentation and dif-
fusion of that element, has given rise to a
fresh problem, which is, shall these Asi-
atics be allowed to testify in courts of
justice? and, if so, under what sanctions?
Whoever shall take the pains to examine
this question in detail, and so thoroughly
as to get down into its inherent nature,
will find that it is only a ramification of
the - vertold and almost universal one,
which Is that of Religious Liberty. These
Chinese are disbelievers in the Christian
Religioi; have a distinct and peculiar the
ological system of their own, which im
poses responsibilities and enforces sanc
tions. The real question, therefore, is,
whether, denying the authenticity of re
vealed religion, as popularly accepted in
this country, they ara competent to give
evidence in causes pending at the Itribu
nals of P-üblic justice.
It has come to be understood that the
acceptance of a creed, no matter how
good and venerable, does not matte a
man a saint. Some men who make large
orthodox professions, are scarcely entitled
to be believed under oath, while others,
adhering to most hetrodox formularies of
faith, exhibit a, transparent rectitude
which cannot be surpassed. Convening
some years ago wit': a Boston friend, a
Congregationalist of the intensest ortho-
dox type, and who was bitterly lament
ing the influence of the late THEODORE
PAR HER, we asked him what was the
worst thing - in the character and conduct
of that personage. Stopping for a mo.
ment he replied with emphasis, "The
beautiful itfe he reads." The defects of
his creed, in the estimation of our friend,
seemed to be obscured, even if they did
not acquire a lustre, from the grace and
charm of his daily life. The illustration
is susceptible of wide and various appli
cations, which we cannot stop to make.
In the former pro-slavery times, in all
the Southern States, and in some of the
Northern ones besides, black people were
not allowed to give testimony against
whites. Under this rule, any white
scamp could commit murder, rape, arson,
robbery, or any other crime upon the
person or property of any black man or
woman, and be perfectly safe from pun
ishment, provided be had so taken his
measures as to exclude the actual or in
ferential cognizance of white Individuals.
This was a revolting type of democracy
ten years ago. This monstrous exclu-
sion of the blacks did not Aave its roots
in religious differences, but in diversities
of social status. So far as the whites and
blacks, involved in this matter, had any
religion, it was of the same general
stamp. If they adhered to any scheme
of faith, it was the Christian. Nor was
any attempt made to conceal the real
grounds on which the testimony of the
blacks was excluded. Nay, their assumed
inferiority . was paraded as the only reason
- -
on which p, could be justified.
In California the Chinese are rigidly
excluded from the witness stand. In
Idaho they are sworn according to the
solemnities used in their own country.
At Silver City, in that Territory, two
Chinese were lately tried for the murder
of another. In swearing. the Chinese
witnesses, a rooster's held was hacked
off with a knife, a saucer broken, the oath
written on yellow paper, burned, and the
smoke, in which the spirit of the oath was
supposed to be, blown up to heaven in
each case.
To professed or nominal Christians,
this ceremonial appears absurd; but the
true question is, whether it does not serve
as effectually to elicit truth from the Chi
nese as other forms do from other people?
The accumulation of celestialkia this coun
try may have a strong tendency towards
securing the abrogation of all oaths, in
legal proceedings, and therendering of all
persons, interested in the particular case
or not, competent to state ,to the court
and jury all they know, subject to any
abatements their lack of credibility , may
suggest or compel.
Whoever has had much.to do with the
administzationnf - oaths In legs' matters,
is impressed with the consciousness that
the proceeding is commonly irreverent
and trifling. Customhouse oaths are
proverbially false. Many sorts are
no better. Indeed, magistrates and law
yers know how hard it frequently is to
wring the truth out of men whose lips
have just kissed the evangelist's in adju
ration. It may well be doubted whether
oaths are of any benefit at all. If a man
is honest, he will tell the truth as he per
ceives it, and if he is dishonest, no cere
mony or incantation will get it opt of him.
We know it is urged that if a witness
swears falsely he is liable , to punishment
for perjury. But this plea has,,no weight.
Why create &fictitious offense, in order to
punish untruthfulness? Why
,riot enact
instead that every witness vim tells a lie
'on the stand, or fails to tell the whole
truth, ae he holdeitt 11/14be punished for
the nasshood ? to ar as this method en-
W HO SHALL TESTIFY!
erted any influence, one,way or the other
it would be on the side of veracity. Lying
would become as odious as perjury is now,
t 3 all whoscruple at the latter, but make
no account of the former. The idea that
a special form -Makes a. difference in the
obligation to respect the claims of Truth;
is every way pernicious.
With the inflow of the Chinese this
question will assume such importance as
to lead to its full and fresh consideration,
and the end can hardly fail to be the en
tire abrogation of the swearing process.

Eais, July 16, 1869.
The journey from Pittsburgh to Erie
is something quite different now from
what it was in former days, when turn
pikes or canals were the only ways by
which to come. Now seven hours in a
pleasant coach, over a smooth and agree
ably conducted road, and through rich
and beautiful scenery. is all that is re•
quired to take one from smoky Pitts.
'burgh to airy, dusty. pleasant Erie. In
coming up last Saturday I concluded that
it would be hard to think of any im
provement in the ,present management
of the road, which seems to be in a flour
ishing condition. The first , noteworthy
stopping place is Beaver Falls, almost as
wonderful a grower as Jack's bean stalk
in the.fairy story. or the magic cities of
the far west. Several things have com
bined to make Beaver Falls what it is:
first, the cutlery., and other establish
ments need rnany artisans, and homes
for them and their families were neces
sary; then , naturally the scenery is enti
cing, and the neighborhood healthy; and
finely, the town authorities and the
large land owners offer large induce
=mute to settlers. The consequence is,
that new and tastefulAwellings are very
rapidly multiplying, and the whole val
ley seems overhupg with an atmosphere
of prosperity.
Speeding on through the Beaver and
Shenango valleys, I noticed that the crops
looked RIM and the iron business seemed
dull. as several furnaces were lying idle.
At Jamestown—ealled Jimtown to dis
tinguish it from the larger place of the
same name, in New York—the railway
restaurant provided a plain, well cooked
dinner, et a moderate price, accompa
nied by those great luxuries,clean
clothe and napkins. A party of grand
jurymen, were on the train and I recog•
rifted among the number , -Hon. Geo.
Vt . Lawrence, large and handsome as
ever, and Mr. Ratan, the Beaver county
nominee. for. Senator. 'rho- reek of the
gentlemen seemed to he enjoying some
joke at the expense of Mr. R., and I fre
quently heard such words as McCracken,
QQuay, dollars, etc., which gave me an
inkling of what 'Wee- the:nature of the
joke. •
Erie is one the' most living lookieg
towns I bave seen.. There seems to be
plenty of activity and public spirit ,
throughout. Since last year there has
been much change; several of the streets
have been Nicolsonized and several are
now undergoing the preparatory opera
tions for similar treatment. Many hand
some private houses have been built, the
elegant water works including . the
largest stand pipe in the world—have
been finished and put in operation, and
the two pretty little parks have been
improved by two really elegant foun
tains. These fountains are made of iron,
painted white,• and the water coming
through iron pipes has sadly discolored
them, although they havelbeen up but a
few months, a !hot which .leads me to ,
hope that the Allegheny Park. Commis-
Mon will have their- iron 'beaming
bronzed instead of white. The' tress
throughout this beautiful city are an
perb, many of the broad streets being
cc*PlatelY ovenhadowed-by
_them, and
the, petite ate- always cool 'and ahady,
fads which. together with the invigoraV
tag lake kroesof seem to be Wrong*
etiloyed by the ntunerons Pittaburgers,
to whom they are rarities. •
Charming Presque Isle bay never
looked more lovely than it did on Sat
u.rday night,iwhen the sun was dropping
into the water behind the trees' of the
island forest which sefiststes the bay
from the lake. The bay was one mass of
white capped waves, - which were tinged
- with all the prismatic colors while re
flecting the long miles of the forest
island. On some of the water lots
some gentlemen are building a blast fur
nace, and before long Erie will be com
peting with the iron smelters of the Ma
honing and Shenango regions. They
can get their coal by way of the Beaver
canal without changing bulk; while their
iron ore can be put on board ship on
Lake Superior and brought at once to the
furnace here, as it could be brought to
Pittsburgh, if that long talked of ship
canal were built.
The Court met on Monday and bids
fair to last lodger than usual. There are
not so many [familiar Pittsburgh faces
here as there were last year. The Judge
and Ur. Stephen McCandless of course
are here, and are, in spite of the extra
, ordinary amount of work they hat*
been doing, looking well. A traveled
gentleman remarked to me that Judge
McCandless looked quite as imposing on ,
the bench as any of the be-wigged gen- 1
tiemen on the English wool sack. Mr.
W. F. Robb, Gen. T. B. Swearengen,
Geo. I. Whitney, Jno. A. Wilson, Mr.
Harry Marker and Mr. Mellor, of Pitts
burgh, and Mr. Richey, of Allegheny,
are members of the traverse jury.
Socially, Erie is very gay just now,
and the Pittaburghers seem to be enjoy
ing it. On Monday 'night there was a
large, delightful party at the house of
Mr. William L. Scott. the efficient Presi
dent of the Erie and Pittsburgh Rail-I
road. On Tuesday a brilliantiind pleas
ant reception took place at the house of
Dr. Brandes, one of•the leading physi
cians here. Invitations are :.out for a
party 'at General Charles Reed's on
Thursday, and one or two others are on
the tapis, including one on board the 11.
S cutter Michigan by her officers. Al
together, the young Pittsbnigers here
will be le to haye as much gaiety as
they would well desire. Miss Maggie
McCandless seems to be the only Pitts
burgh lady here, but that the ladies of
Pittsburgh are well represented it is un
necessary to state.
Dr. Strong, a prominent citizen and
physician, died here last night, after a
long and painful illness, and will be
buried to morrow.

The' Trouble with Irish Laborers at
Poughkeepsie.
EBY Telegraph to the PitUbtalllll easette. I
POUGIIKEEPSIS.-July 17.—Intelligence
from Pleasant Valley, up to eleven
o'clock last evening. is to the effect that r
the laborers were about with clubs and
pick handles, and lying around on the
slopes along the roads and in fields.
Squire McCord urged them to keep peace.
His suggestions were received with
groensand yells. One company of thirty
men is tinder arms at the Valley, and
another left this morning. A barn in
which is located-the property wanted by
the Sheriff contains two kegs of powder,
placed there by the laborers, who have '
laid trains from it. The people of the
village are horrified for feat of bloody
scenes. As yet the laborers -have mo
lested no one.. They are well organized.
Sheriff Kennedy, hacked by two cern
pames of military, to-day arrested Jack'
M'Oonald and John Short, ,the ringlead
ers of the Pleasant Valley disturbanCes,
and apo seized the horse, and. wagon for
merl owned by Welch, the absconding
contractor. There was no resistance. but
-the laborers were out in force, shouting
derisively and tauntingly at the military. _
To.night everything at Pleasant Valley - is
quiet. Many of the villagers have been
sworn in as deputy Sheriffs. Next Tues
day the laborers will be paid off, at which
time it is apprehended there will be fur
ther trouble.
Adroit Forgery by a Clergyman.
(By Telekraell to tee Plttsberab Gazette.,
SYRACLTSB, N. Y., July 18.—A bold and
successful forgery, perpetrated by Rev.
Mr. Mitchell, Methodist clergyman at
Chittenango ' Madison county, has been
dacovered. He forged the uame of Rob
ert Stewart, President of the National
Bank of Chittenaugo, to a draft for five
thousand dollars, payable to the order of
Rev. Mr. Greenleaf, Methodist minister at
Lee Center. Mitchell andOreenleaf look
alike and the former deceived Mr. Carlton
of New York. publisher, into identifying
hints as Greenleaf, to whose order the
draft was payable at the Fourth National
bank of New York. Mitchell got the
money and invested it Imo.. Government
securities.; His resemblance to Green
leaf led to his detection. He has re
stored $4,600 and effected his escape..
—A report is current that a few_ nights
ago the pastor of one of the leading
churches of Nashville brutally beat his
daughter, a young lady grown with a
cow hide, and was caused to de sist by a
°couple of gentlemen who were attracted
to the house by her screams.
IT Is a remarkable fact in the history
of the Erie and Pittsburgh . Railroad that,
considering the number of years •it has
been in operation, Mr. Sanford, the con
ductor lately killed, was the first one to
die of injuries received upon it.
TRUSSES AND HERNIA.
The sad and deplorable condition of Many Who
are afflicted with hernia or rupture of the boWels,
calls loudly for some efficient and ustulstakable
remedy that will not only in every case give effi
cient relief, but in many cases effect a, radios
and thorough cure. These cases of hernia have
become so frequent that it Is computed that one

rible ailment; and "in very many oases do not
know where to apply foe an appropriate remedy,
oftentimes not knowing whether an appliance is

they often do not know where or to whom they
should make application: The world 11 fall of -

his new madam store, No. IE7 Liberty street,
is abundantly supplied with every 'appliance
needful to the retention end relief of this tern
ble oftlictlen,so that every one can be properly

that the appliancels the best that the mechanical -

that they will not onlyget the best truss suitable

There are many persons who not only oarlike
their health, but even their lives, for want of a
proper truss, or a truss properly applied, fftrar,

and carelessness of the sufferers themselves.

a light affair to suffer - With a protrusion such as
