WE ASE 12IDEBTED to Dr. WILLIAM
Itrosorr, of Erie, Pa., for well preserved
copies of the Pittsburgh GAZETTE of 1813
and of the Erie Gazette of 1824. As
relics of old times they are very valuable
and the donor has our heartiest thanks for.
the esteemed gift.
' THE publication of 'the income tax lists
in the city and contiguous districts of
New'York has had•the. effect to stimulate
a remarkable tenderness of conscience
among citizens, thousands of whom are
coming forward to add to theivreturns,
argely to the benefit of the Treasury.
THE NOMINATION of Mr. PACKER for
Governor inspires no enthusiasm even in
the Eleventh *Congressional District, in
which he resides, and which he formerly
represented in Congress. Indeed, as yet
the Democrats of that district have given
signs of life whatever, thepresent sea
son. Having overwhelming majorities
in all of the five counties, and no local
dissensione, except in one'of the counties
that betoken a schism on local candidates,
there is nothing in the aspects of the can
vass to infuse into them so much as their
accustomed zeal and energy.
- Wn WERE GLAD to meet at Uniontown,
on. Monday last, our venerable friend Dr.
Howl Cemessax, just returned from
Euroe, whither he had gone as a delegate
from ithiPresbyterian General Assembly
—aceompanied by. his son, Dr. Hui3n
. Fititarces Camreer.L. whose melancholy
death, at Belfast, we recently announced.
The Doctor, notwithstanding his long
jouritey and its afflicting incidents, has
enjoyed fine health, and looks quite vig.
orous end strong. He had a moat cordial
greeting from the citizens of Uniontown,
to whom he has endeared himself by a
long, blameless and useful life.
THE hiss Calmat BILL' has been
virtually postponed fora short period by
the obstinacy of. the House of Lords, in
refusing to restore its original preamble.
It is better perhaps thateaction is delayed,
as the English politicians and people are
_
too heated on the question to act with that
wisdom ! prudence and eVenly justice
which- a measure of reform of so much
,importance demands in its consideration.
\The crisis is reached, and When It shall
6ve Piesed, a new Irish Cliurch bill will
=meet with little or no opposition. in its
passage. The people have made their
voices heard for the reform, and can
afford to be patient for a while since its
Coming is inevitable. IT',
THE NOMINATION of Mr. PERSHING for
Supreme Judge of the State does not
striae the Democrats of the State favor
ably. The fact is he is almost wholly
unknown. While ia his Immediate
neighborhood he is known to possess an
exemplary character and fair professional
standing as a county practitioner, the
people of the State, and even the lawyers
thereof, are not familiar with his name.
True, he served some years , ago, in the
State Senate, for a , full term, and faith
fully enough, but not with a degree of
ability to leave a permanent impression ,
upon the popular recollection. He will
be likely to fall scmewhat behind Mr.
PecxEn's aggregate vote.
To MOST PEOPLE the mere existence, in
this country, of a journal with the avowed
purposes of the Imperialist, has been a
mystery, and how enough people could
be found, in so thoroughly established a
republic, to support such a paper has been
an unsolved 'problem. The Imierialist
has itself let the cat out of the bag, and
revealed• the fact that it is one of the last
efforts of the Southern rebels. In a re
cent number of that paper a promise is
made to pay the Southern war-debt, as
soon as an empire is established. The
press is powerful, but in this instance can
hardly do more towards fulfilling the
wishes of , Southern monarchists, than
did Gen. Lica with the grand army be
hind him.
THE. , STRIKE of the anthracite coal
miners, whatever it may have done for
those immediately concerned in it, has
operated most injuriously for a much
larger number of laborers. The helpers
are necessarily idle, while the miners re
fuse to work, though they do not want to
be. A large number of railroad hands
are doing nothing, or next to nothing,
because the usual quantity of- coal is not
going forward. On the canals leading
from the mines, the boatmen are suffer
ing a severe loss. None of them 'are
managing.to Make expense% and the sea
son is now so far advanced that they can
not possibly get to Its close' in a way to
save themselves whole. 'Many of them
have abandoned their contracts, and
gone, with their teams, in pursuit of
other employments.
Tun Crioor nee. has certainly made its
appearance in the metropolitan cities. If
the terrible epidemic sweeps over the
country it will find no more welcome
abiding place than Pittsburgh. We
do not invite any needless alarm, but
would earnestly urge' our friends to act
now as if the cholera were really here,
and to take such sanitary precautions as
prudence dictates, to preserve the individ
ual and public health. Those officers
charged especially with the enforcement
of- city ordinances looking toward the
abatement of nuisances calculated to jeop
ardize the health of the people should be
more than ever watchful and active in the
discharge of their duties. Whether there
is daneer of &mien by cholera or not it Is
as wise to be t cautious as to be careless,
and a general sanitary reform will coat
little in comparison to the good which
will result therefrom.
Tan completion of the second Atlantic
Cable promises to result in the organize.
tion of another Press Association for the
collection and dissemination of news.
Indeed that result Is certain, if the two
cables shall remain under separate con
trol, Should the present "understand
ing," between the old Association' the
companies owning the English cable and
the Western Union Telegraph be con
tinned, the new Atlantic line must be
supplanted by connection With independ
ent land-lines, on this continent. It is,
however, more likely that the Western
Union will see their interest in cutting
loose from the present arrangement, of
fering equal facilities to any and all news
associations whiamay come into exist
ence. It Is understood that-a movement
is on foot for another combination which
will supply news at largely reduced rates.
The French cable will be received on this
coast, in submission to such provisions as
Congress may hereafter make.
A CARD from J. B. RIITAN, Esq., in
forms the readers of the Beaver .4irgas
that he has "challenged sn investigation,
which will be accorded by, the Washing
ton county Executive Committee, or will
transpire in a Court of Law. It will be
public, rigid and thorough, and will es
tablish the utter falsity of the charges so
assiduously circulated there and'in Wash
ington county during the past few
weeks."
The .A.rylus Is also '"requested to state ..
that:—
The report that one of the -.Conferees
from Washington county had left for the
West immediately after the Senatorial
nomination was made, is utterly false.
He is, at his home in Nyashington county,
and Utterly denies the stories circulated
in reference to him, and states he is
ready to answer in any way and -at any
time. All the Washington comity Con
ferees are at home and have bean in
Washington since the nomination.
In the latter statement the Washington
Reporter agrees. It announces, mon%
over, that Mr. RIITA2I has arranged for a
full investigation to be at once made
as follows : "Three men shall be dui&
nated to act is onjunctlon with the
Chairman of the County Committee; that
this Committee shall visit Pittsburgh the
present week to meet a corresponding
Committee from Beaver to investigate the
PITTSBURGH GAZETTE THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1869,
entire action of the Conference. Mr.
Rtriex pledges himself that in case the
use of any improper means is proved
against him, or if the Conference think
that his candidacy will endanger the
ticket, he' will promptly withdraw."
This course is satisfactory to the Repub
licans of Washington county, and a party
meeting of the voters will be held'in the
Court House there this afternoon to select
the three delegates to represent their in
terests in the investigation.
NO MORE CONSERVATISM
It Is gratifying to hear from Washing
ton that neither tlie President nor Messrs.
BOUT WELL, HOAR or CEESSWELL, sym
pathize with the Conservative movement
in Mississippi. We are also assured that
the President has plainly advised his
brother-in-law, Judge DEIST, against per,
milting his name to be used as the Con
servative candidate. Should these state
ments remain uncontradicted, "the fact
will serve to quiet some certain uneasy
apprehensions which many thoughtful
Republicans have entertained of late.
The fact is established that no Repub-
lican paper in Mississippi supports either
DENT or the Conservative movement,
while every Democratic journal is for it,
multiplying in every Issue, their uniform ,
declarations that President GRANT is in
sympathy with them. The Jackson
Clarion is a leading print of that sort. It
asserts "on undoubted authority" that the
President "will preserve an attitude of
neutrality between the liberal Republican
and ultra Radical candidates in 3lississip;
pi and Texas." Again, the Clarion says:
"We are rejoiced by assurances to Ma
jor Wofford, both from the President and
Gen, Sherman, that the District Com
mander will be required to discontinue
his partisan proceedings and to show fair
play. • To secure impartiality, Gen. Sher
man will order the military officer who
conducted the Virginia election, and
against whom no complaint of partiality
is alleged, to perform the same duty in
Mississippi."
These statements are very direct and of
quite too ,ouch importance to be disregard
ed. It is difficult to believe that they
could be made except upon authority
more or less plausible. Yet are we will
ing to credit them as little as we have ac
cepted the truth of similar intimations as
to the Administration policy in Virginia.
It is easy to imagine that Gen. Bnarinte4
regards radical Republicanism with a feel 7
ing of at least indifference, but we
disinclined to attribute to the President a
policy, or even sentiment, so decidedly
at ,variance with the just expectations of
the Republican masses to whom his elec
tion was due, and•to whom alone the
President must/look for an effective and
cordial support tolls Administration.
We the more readily, therefore, rely
upon the later advices from Washington,
first alluded to above, which assure us
that Gen. GRANT and the leading mem.
berseof his babinet appreciate the situa
tion and' the true direction of their' own
political duty. We have all had enough,
in Virginia, of, conservative "Republi
canism.
THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF
About this time of the year, many men
are called upon to perform a duty, the
effects of which will be felt, by the future
America, years, perhaps generations,
from this time. Before the first of Sep
tember very many parents will be obliged
to find 'schools and teachers for their
children. There are few more important
duties than this in life. The whole
course and character of many a man's
life has been changed completely by the
teacners of hia youth, and parents are too
often careless in this matter, often seem
ing to suppose that if they send their chil
dren to the most expensive schools, they
are doing the whole of a parent's daty.
But men, the least calculated for the po
sitions they fill, often value themselves
the highest, and the world as often ac
cepts, without investigatioi, that valua
tion as the true one. Thus, the fact that
a man has for years filled some situation
with apparent acceptability, is no proof
that he is at all capable of filling it proper
ly. A•careful man,will rigidly examine
the antecedents of a teacher, before he
submits his eon's body and soul to his
care.
We have known an instance where,
for near a score of years, a man has been
at the head bf a well.filled school, pro
fessing to prepare lads for college and all
that time knowing so little of hblusinvss
that he was obliged to use "keys" and
"interlinears" for the simplest mathemat.
ical and Latin books. None of his pu
pils but the exceptionally brilliant ones
'ever succeeded In entering college from
his school, but that alight fact passed un
noticed We nave" known an instance
where a villainous fellow conducted a
school for 'many years, corrupting many
of the lads, carelessly intrusted to him,
both physically and mentally, and so
fearfully sullying,the young and immor
tal spirits which came beneath his influ
ence, that nothin,g short of a miracle
could ever wash..them clean- Yet this
creature, too horrible to be called a man,
went on his evil way undetected for
years. In each of these cases the teacher
was plausible and attractive in his
manure, exercising a fascination over
his boys which made than plead with
their parents at each recurring session, to
allow them to return to the schools which ,
they found so Pleasant.
So that It Is not from the pupils them
selves, nor yet from their parents, that
men should seek information. . Personal
examination should be iNtde, of the sys
tem and course of atgak** l their results,
and if the school iutie:bilett Ding In exist
ence,..none can give such valuable' infor-
PARENTS.
oration as those persons whu, having once
been pupils there, have since grown up
to an age from which they can look back
upon the old school and its masters with
unprejudiced eyes. ‘. These men may feel
a delicacy about doing an injury to a
former teacher, or may have old grudges
to satisfy against them, but the parent
should ask them to state the facts upon
such points as he may desire to investi
gate, and then weigh them himself. We
do not believe that there are many cases
so bad as the two we have cited, but there
may be some, even flow, and the ilk is
frightful enough to make it well worth
any father's while, to make thorough in
vestigation into both the educational and
the moral qualifications of the instritctor,
before making his final selection 'of the
men to whom he shall entrust such serious
responsibilities.
GEN. CANBY'S order requiring the iron
clad oath from the members elect of the
Virginia Legislature' has fallen like a
monstrous bomb shell in the Conservative
ranks. How it has been welcomed we
may judge of from the following para
graph quoted from the Louisville Journal :
We presume that not one in ten of the
persons elected to the Legislature of Vir
ginia by the Conservatives can take the
iron-clad oath. If a quorum can take at,
and if enough to constitute a quorum
shall actually take it, that quorum, we
have no doubt, will contain a majority of
ultra Radicals, who will ratify the 15th
amendment and elect two ultra Radicals
to the United States Senate. But if, for
the want of a quorum, seats shall be de-
Clared vacant and new elections ordered,
the Conservatives, it is probable, bending
a little to avoid being broken, will nomi
nate and elect candidates who can take
the oath, and who yet will cast all their
votes and shape all their actions in favor
of national and State conservatism.
Tar. Pennsylvania Demoeracy may
learn something, if they will attentively
consider the drift of the annexed para
graph from the. Louisville Journal:
"There is a certainty that the elections
of the coining fall will be the last that
will ever take place in Kentucky with
negro suffrage excluded. -This is a fact
that we had better look square in the
face, much as we may loathe its visage.
Everybody knows that, immediately at.
ter: the reassembling of Congress, the
Fifteenth Amendment will be declared
to have been ratified by the requisite
number of States and be part of the Con
stitution; and then all the negroes of this
State will be voters, and nothing can ex
clude them from the polls - except suc
cessful war against the United States,
and that, whether it would be righteous
or unrighteous, will not be attempted. "
A WASEITIV2TON dispatch to a western
Democratic journal says:
Prominent Radicals think that cause
exists for the most careful watching of
the movements of the President in po
litical matters during the fall campaign.
The extremists do not hesitate to avow
their belief that the very palpable conser
vatism of two or three members of the
Cabinet will have such influence over the
President as -to cause him to submit
measures to the next session of Congress
which cannot be recognized as according
with the esential principles of the Radic
al party. This uneasiness as to keeping
the President in their power. will, it is
said, induce a formidable movement to-'
wardsffecting a change in the Cabinet
when Congress assembles.

UNIONTOWN, PA:
CCorrespondenceof the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
UNIONTOWN, July 19, 1869. •
I came down this morning from my
eyrie on the mountain, to take' the one
o'clock P. K. train for Pittsburgh, but
learned here that a small bridge near Fay
ette Station, on the Uniontown branch,
east of Connellsville, wascarried away by
the stream, swollen by the rains of Sun
day'and Sunday night. Indeed the rains
have been heavy and almost continuous
for several days. So I am obliged to
await the coming train, uncertain, as yet,
when I can make my way homeward.
The storm seems to be over to-day.
Shower after shower, inquick succession,
has visited my temporary home on the
mountain for the week past; the wind,
until to-day, continuing from the south
west, but at this writing its course is ex
actly reversed, leaving the clouds behind,
so that the sun again rules the day.
Here, in this beautiful and flourishing
Shiretown of Fayette, nestling at the foot
of the mountain, I find the heat as unen
durable as that of Pittsburgh, from which
I have sought to escape. I have spent a
week at Snyder's "Summit House," on
the very crest of the great ridge, at the
point traversed by the . National Turn
pike, six miles east of this place. Few,
if any, spots on the continent east
of the Rocky or Nevada Mountains
present a finer combination of natural
beauties than this summit. The spot itself
was selected by the road engineer as the
lowest depression of the mountain crest.
There are therefore at short distances va
rious peaks and knobs of superior eleva
tion. Prominent among them are "Pine
En.lb," and the classic peak known as
"Dunbar's Camp," which comprises also
the grave of Jummonville. There is the
"Washington Spring," where the Fath
er of his country, when quite young, and
before the country was born to him,
slaked his thirst and rested his limbs, on
his retreat with Braddock"s army after
the catastrophe of the 9th of July, one
hundred and fourteen years ago. From
the Summit House it is but a few miles
ride or walk to Fort Necessity, Brad
dock's grave, and other notable spots.
mentioned in the historynf the disastrous
expedition of Gen. Braddock in 1755. It
does not need these classic mementoes to
give attraction to'these mountain resorts;
Nature has spread around in great profu
sion such exhibitions of her vagaries and
her power that her votaries who come
hither when the glorious forests are most
profuse in their emerald garniture, and
her shrubbery charms the eye and re
freshes the senses with Its resplen
dent and fragrant bloomage, will
not be disappointed of any ex
pectation however extravagant. The
country—in the mountains—is but
sparsely settled. There are, however, a
number of fine old families, or their
descendants, to be found here and there
settled all along the mountain range,
among these the venerable Snyder,
whose grand-son keeps the Summit
House, and who is now one of the
County Commissioners, Sebastian Rush,
on the National road, six miles from here,
still living with six sons settled in this
county, all estimable citizens. Of these
sons we found H. C. Rush at the Wash
ington Spring farm, which he has
recently sold to a farmer from Allegheny
county. We were glad tO"find him still at
the spring and to enjoy his hospitality to
the extent of a drink out of the beautiful
and historic spring, and also a welcome
surfeit of rich buttermilk. I fear he may
not find elsewhere a more delightful home
than the one he is about to relinquish.
These mountains are a never ending
wonder. The imagination droops before
the task of estimating the force of the
convulsions -that could cause such vast
upheavals. They suggest the paradoxi
cal idea of both symmetry and distortion.
They present, in the distant horizon, the
right lines of a plane, while they abound
with inexplicable topographical vagaries.
It is much to be regretted that no indi
vidual or company has had the enterprize
to provide at one or more eligible spots,
of which the "Summit" is one and
"Chalkhill" another, a house of large ca
pacity for the reception and entertainment
of some of the thotisands who would
gladly flock hither to escape the prison
Arouse anti 'heat of the cities. Here we
always have cool nights, and are never
without a health-giving and invigorating
air, the more grateful because almost
always in motion. There are various
places where a few persons can be accom
modated. We mention among these
Snyder's "Summit House, " Bunting's
"Stone House," near the ceebrated "Fay
ette Springs." Mr. Wiggins' and John
son's, are private houses, also`near the
Springs, where a few persons are accom•
modated each year, and are severally ex
cellent places to "get in" if you can.
Mr. Wiggins formerly kept the hotel at
the Sonngs, which was unfortunately.

—The statement that Secretary Fish
has giyen authority to land the French
cable at Duxbury, Mass., is not correct.
The Secretary does not consider that he
has power to grant such authority, as it
belongs exclusively to Congress. The
Secretary simply expressed . the opinion
that with the concessions which the
Cable Company propose to make to the
United States, Congress will probably
not make any objections. ,
—The Detroit citranthorities have de
cided to make no more contracts for
stone paving the present season,
for
which 'a large appropriation has been
voted. This action' is taken in conse
quence of alleged collusion between the
contractors, whereby they propose to
obtain exorbitant prices for the work.
It is stated that all the paving atone at
Sandusky, Medina and other places has
been secured by a erring" of paving con
tractors.
TICKETS from Boston and New York
for Chicago, via Cincinnati, are now sold

er traveling in the immediate future. It
is the beginning of a "cutting" cam
