Tan President of the Cuban Jnnt4 at
New York has been kicked out of office
for being "far from sanguine of the suc
cess of the cause," and for admitting. to
friends in Washington, that "the incur•
rection began one year too soon and could
not succeed without outside aid."

IT IS CREDIBLY REPORTED that Mr.
CILARLES B. Ilucxemtw is not unwilling
to accept a seat in the State Senate, and
that it is probable he will be a candidate
this year. Having served a term of six
years in the Senate at Washington, he
wishes to return to the body in which he
iron his early renown. It would be well
if both parties would reinforce the Legis
lature with men of his sort.
Tun selection of a gentlenian from Erie
for the head of the Democratic State Com
mitteerepresents the indignant protest of
.
a few honest and sensible Democrats,
against the corrupt Philadelphia clique
'Who intended to control the disbursement
of the greenbacks which the. Anthracite
Nabob is expected to bestow. It means
that the Packer corruption-fund is to be
spent - for the party, and not grabbed by a
half-dozen speculators for their personal
profit. And our Republican friends may
regard it therefore, as meaning business
for the rest of the canvass. Sir. GAL
snarl's, who was so designated, declines
the doubtful honor, but in ell probability
the Chairman will be selected out of the
, same school of politics, and hence the
warnine is none sthe less worthy of at
tention.
Tau 'pancrsz nature of the so-called'

Went, Is not clearly indicated by present
advices. The feature of a concurrent en•
downienti enpafted upon the. measure
by the Lords, seem' to be maintained,
while =cessions are made to the Com.
mono upon points admitted to bo of minor
consequence. With fuller information.
upon the details of the bill es
finally agreed to on each _ side,
we shall be the better ame to
judge of the success v at }, wh i ch
the Ministerial party Ita - i e me t t h e re
sponsibilities imposed upon. them by that
strategy, on the Tart of the hereditary

clear that tb . e Lords have not proved their
command of the situation.
"THERE is something rotten," if not in
Denmark, at least in the American system
of detecting criminals. Every day mur
ders are committed. Every day, in New
York for instance, dead bodies are found, -
showing unmistakable evidence of foul
play, and there the history ends. Human
life is,no longer respected, nor is murder
looked upon with that horror which in
former days made the violent death of a
man to be regarded as a crime of such im
portance that every means were used to aid
in detecting and punishing the murderer.
The trouble is that the science of crime
has taken rapid strides and the science of
detection has lagged behind, so that some
radical and efficient changes are . neces
sary to put them again on anything like
an equal footing. As things. now are,
there are hundreds, perhaps thousands,
of murderers living unmolested in the
land, apparently untroubled by remorse,
and the old saw, "murder will out," has
become a dead letter.
GEARY AND PARDONS.
It is a. favorite slander with the opposi
tion press of Pennsylvania to charge
Gov. GEARY with an indiscriminate and
corrupt use of the prerogative of pardon.
Never yet was printed, by the most auda
ciously malignant of them all, a syllable
of proof to sustain the specification of
corruption. In that regard, the Govern
or's friends may defy any slanderous
tongue. How is it, as to the other branch
of the Democratic indictment? Has Gov.
GEARY used his prerogative so freely sato
bring odium upon the. public clemOcy
and suspicion upon his official judgment?
The record will best answer these ques
tions. We have examined this record
with care. We find that, of the sixteen
Governors which this Commonwealth has
had, including the present incnmbent,
from 1791 to this date, eleven of them
show higher yearly averages of pardons
And remissions than he: Gov. Poizocx
averaged 33 per year, Gov. PACKER 72,
Gov. SHURE 81, Gov. WOLF 83, and
Gov. GEARY 86.. None of the remaining
eleven had averaged leis than 100, rang
ing from 108 for Gov. BIGLER to 434 for
Gov. FINDLAY. These figures decisively
refute the Democratic fabrication against
the integrity and discretion of the present
Executive.
We may add that Jon W. GEARY is
the first Governor' of Pennsylvania who
has uniformly enforced the wise regula
tion requiring a wide public advertise
ment of any pending application for the
benefits of his merciful prerogative. And,
with equal uniformity, the grant of his
pardon is always followed by the public
announcement of the names of such offi
cials and citizens as have recommended.
that case to his tender regard. The truth
Is that Gov. GEARY has given offense - in
some quarters by the pertinacity "with
which he insists upon this policy. Con
sidering these facts, the reader may form
a better estimate of the true value of the
slanders to which reference Is here made.
THE ALLEGHENY LIBRARY.
The Allegheny Library is a worthy
institution struggling for.. existence.
In order to maintain itself it has re
quested the Councils of that city to
grant it the use of a suitable room in the
citrimildings. This request, the Coun
cils have for some time acceded to, but
now the city needs more office-room. and
the qnestion has arisen concerning this
room, whether it shall be taken from the
Library for the new office, or shall be al
lowed to remain devoted to its present
uses. We do not propose to discuss this
question at all. The Councils have an, un
doubted right to dispose of the city-build
ings in such manner as they may deem
most desirable for the public interests.
There may be adifference of opinion as to
whether the rendering of assistance to this
Library is the most profitable use that can
lie made of the room, or not. But we
were exceedingly surprised to learn that
a member of the Councils should doubt
the general utility of the institution, and
r should urge as an objection that "it was
only a place for young men who would
go thereftred up," and was no benefit at
all to any others. The Allegheny Coun
cils have reiently, shown so much evi
dence of progress, and public spirit that
we must confess that we had not looked
for such words as these from a member of
that body. If the statement were true it
could scarcely be regarded as an objec
tion, for, as another member observed,
it is a good sign when young men begin
to show a • taste for such neatness - and
cleanliness, as may be supposed to con
stitute the "fixing up" referred to.
But the mi t -information of the Council
man was so complete as to lead us to
wonder where he could have gone for his
facts. We have not very often visited
the Library rooms, but at our occasional
visits we have seen very many more
plainly-dressed young women than "fixed
up" young men. No city has a more
important duty to perform than the pro
vision of instruction and profitable reet ea
don for its young women of the poorer or
working classes, and there is no class of
citizens which so thoroughly stalls Stoll
PITZSP;CII011 GAZETIT : SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1869.
of any such provision aa does this. Many
years ago, thanks to private munificence,
the Anderson Library was established in
the same city, for the use of young mg,
particularly of tipprentibes, and was very
largely used by the class for which it was
especially intended. If we remember cor
rectly, this collection was, at a later day,
incorporated in the Allegheny Library,
and we cannot think that merely because
many more new books have been added,
a .much more comfortable situation se
cured, and the capabilities for usefulness
largely increased. the apprentices and
workingmen have ceased to enjoy the
opportunities offered to them. If they
have, it must be looked upon as their own
fault, and not that of the Library; cer
tainly, however, our own slight personal
expWrience, with what we have heard
froSn 'others, leads us to infer that the
Conncilman's rash assertion was as devoid
of fact as it unsioubttklly was of good taste.
ALAS: POOR YORICKS:
Since the Democracy of Allegheny
county have been sold out to a "bloated
band-holder" as their candidate for
q Gov
-1
e or, they feel but little stomach for a
sare fight on the local offices. The
truth seems to be that there is not enough
of that party left here to claim a healthy
existence, much less to support a full
county ticket of their own. The be
trawl and defeat of their favorite candi
date at Harrisbu,rg has hopelessly demor
alized them. The fight seems, to use the
language of the prize-ring, all knocked
out of them.. Well, they must not blame
Republicans altogether for that! It is a
foul_ blow from their own "friends"
which has sent them finally to grass. A
writer in the Pittsburgh Post of yesterday
throws up the sponge, and the editorial
bottle-holder, equally demoralized, don't
'know whether to endorse or condemn
the surrender. It is now
_proposed that
their coming county convention shall
make no local nominations, remitting the
Democracy to the privilege of voting for
such stump or volunteer candidates as may
thrust themselves into the field; or else
for the regular Republican ticket. The
party went about half-wry in this direc
tion last year, but, instead of learning
wisdom from their doleful experiencewith
the Artts and Fosters, and the other
played-out disappointed office-seekers
whom they welcomed and tried to honor
as deserters from the Republican ranks,
they seem bent upon completing their ruin
by another trial of the same disastrous
policy.
Very well, gentlemen! It is your af
fair, and not ours I If you are so miser
ably poor in the right stuff for Democratic
candidates, You can look about for dis
appointed aspirants whose axes were not
ground by the Republican Convention, or
you can vote for our regular ticket, as a
good many of you did - last year, rather
than sanction the stupid blunder of your
leaders in attempting to crowd a handful
of soreheaded Republicans down your
throats. Vote our ticket again, and we
shall have a good opinion of your patriot
ism and good sense;' or vote for such' un
happy victims of disappointed personal
ambition as you are now attempting to se
duce into an "Independent" movement,
and you will earn the gratitude of our
party, and the deep execrations of
such of your own friends as are really
Democrats from piinciple? • But will you
help Packer thereby as much as yon will
help the Republican party? Have you
not still the honor of counting Foster
and Sara among your Democratic re
cruits? Then why not try those gentle-
Men again—for the Judgeships, for exam
ple? Or do you think you can rake Re
publicanism here with your fine tooth
combs,: finding other candidates of the
same sort to serve your purpose?
We, submit to the Allegheny De
mocracy that when they can no longer
find seventeen decent men capable and
worthy of official trust, in their own
ranks, It is full time for them to disband
their whole concern. Not even PACK.
nit's greenbacks, which their leaders will
monopolize, can save them from the dis
graceful defeat which will be inevitable
after such a humiliating confession.
JOUR A. ROEULING.
With regret we learn that Joni; A.
RCIEBLING, the great civil engineer, died
on the 22d inst., in Brooklyn, from lock
jaw, occasioned by an injury I received
while surveying the grounds foi the East
River Bridge. No Plttsburgher will ask
"Who is Join; A. Rom:luso?" Two
monuments of unequal pretensions exist
ire which, we trust, wia long remain as
triumphs of his skill, to transmit his name
to - posterity—the suspension-bridges over
the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers.
The -former, built after the great fire, of
1845, and limited to the small sum of sixtr
five t4ousand dolpirs, is a triumph of
economy; and the latter, erected in 1860;
is a triumph of art. When the Allegheai
suspension bridge was completed, some
one asked Mr. ROEBLING what was its
strength? He replied: "No weight which
will be placed on it will crush it; and it
will resist nine times the force ' , of ordina
ry tempests." When the Duke of New
Castle was crossing% with the Prince of
Wales, he'exclaimed, "What a beautiful
structure!—Who built it?"
Jour; A. ROEBLING was born in Prus
sia and educated in the N . ltional Polytech
nic School at Berlin. After graduating,
he was employed in making a govern
ment road over a mountainous district.
He asked the Chfef Engineer (of the neces
sary instruments. The reply was, "You
must get your own instruments. It you
will ever becoite an Engineer, a jack.
knife will be capital sufficient to begin
with." The success of Ronda - so won
the approbation of his chief; and he told
the writer of this that the jack-knife
anecdote did him immense service
in life. Like another great civil
engineer, Ericcson, he found but a limited
field for his genius in his native country,
and early in life sought the United States,
whose institutions were in harmony with
his political sentiments, and where, with
out fortune or friends to aid him, he
hoped to succeed even though his capital
inight be reduced to his jack-knife. He
came to this State and settled in Butler
county, where he married, and where, we
believe, his son, Col. WASHINGTON 10E
MING, who inherits his father's ability,
was born. Mr. BOBBLING was for a while
an assistant engineer on the early Penn
sylvania State Works. He erected a wire
factory in Butler county, and made the
wire for the Monongahela bridge. Atter
his removal to Trenton, New Jersey, he
erected a large manufaCtory for wire
rope at that place, where the
strands were - spun for the Alleghe
ny suspension bridge. The construction
which brought him into general notice,
and indeed founded his great reputation,
was the suspension bridge over the
uNi
agara River helo the Falls. This was
succeeded by o own beautiful bridge
over the Alleghe y. The grand structure
over the Ohio at Cincinnati was his crown
ing work. He planned the East River
Bridge at New York, and would have
built it , if he had lived, but to another
I must come the glory of its completion ;
and doubtless the name of "ROEBLING "
which gavo life to the enterprise at its in
ception, will be associated with it when
New York and Brooklyn will clasp hands
in the triumphal ceremony which will
unite them forever. .
Col. WASHINGTON ROHBUNG, the as
sistant of his father in his •great works,
will probably be his successor In this.
Mr. ROEBLING was a man of great en
ergy of character, and a "business man"
in every sense of the term; frugal in his
wants, punctual in his engagements,
cautious in undertaking, but immense in
force when once he had determined upon
action. He accumulated a handsome
fortune, not in speculation, for he never
gambled in stocks or money, but in the
legitimate investment of the compensa-
tion of his labors. He was the largest
holder of the stock of the Allegheny
bridge, foreseeing, beyond most of our
citizens, the future value of that admi
rable investment; and be was also
one of the largest share-holders of the
Niagara bridge and of the Cincinnati
bridge. When the projectors of each of
these works were seen to hesitate in view
of a large cost and their doubts as to the
remuneration, Mr. ROEBLIZid ' said,
"Don't hesitate, gentlemen! The bridge
will pay, and I will put in my own
money with you." His scientific views
were cosmopolitan. His philosophic ideas
were Teutonic. The great thinkers of Ger
many were a source from which he drank
deeply, nnd he always sought the fount
ain rather than the stream. He was a
progressionist; regarding past Ideas as
belonging to the childhood of the race,
and believing in the growth and grand
eur of humanity in the great future, and
the present age as the mere opening of a
development of which .the flower and
fruit will come in due process when the
time is ready.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
There is a trio of veteran ministers that
evidently did not acquire wealth by in
heritance or marriage, and then quit
preaching under 'the belief that their
throats were affected with bronchitis.
We group them together as woithy of
special notice: 'Rev. Charles Cleveland,
now in his nine' y•eighth year, the.veteran
city missionary of •Boston, lately preach
ed in Springfield street Chapel, and had
among his auditors one man who was
one hundred years of age. Rev. Charles
G. Finney, of Oberlin, now nearly eighty
years of age, recently preached two able
sermons on the same Sabbath. Dr. Peter
Cartwright, the great pioneer preacher,
is now doing his fiftieth year as a Presid
ing Elder in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, a greater period than any other
minister in that churCh ever held that of
fice. It is a rare thing for a minister to
hold the position a quarter of a century.
The venerable . doctor is in the atity•eighth
year of his regular ministry. He must
be nearly ninety years old.
The now Church of the United Breth
ren in Christ, at Wilmot, Starke coun
ty, Ohio, will be dedicated August 15th,
1869. Bishop Weaver and other distin
guished ministers are expected to offici
ate on the occasion.
The Banner says Mr. David Gregg, 'of
Pittsburgh, Pa., licentiate, has been cho
sen pastor of the Third Reforined Pres
byterian Church (0. S.) in Twenty.third
street, of which the Ret. J. R. W. Sloane
was formerly pastor.
'The Presbyterian calls attention to the
need of the Presbyterian church at Santa
Fe, the ()lily church of that denomination
in the Territory of New Mexico. It re
quires assistance in order that the mis-
sion may be successful. The Presbyteri
an will transmit any donations given for
this excellent object.
At a recent meeting of the Board of
Directors of Domestic Missions, the Pro
ject of raising half a million of dollars
for the purpose of establishing churches
in the West, in commemoration of the
re•nnion of the two branches of *le Pres
byterian church, which' itiexpected to be
consummated in November next, is com
mended u worthy and desirable, and is
recommended to the two General Assem-
EMT!
Since the General Assemblies ad
ourned, eleven New School Presbyteries
and twelve Old School Presbyteries, have
voted unanimously for re-union, except
one vote in New York and four votes
in Philadelphia.
The new St. Johns Episcopal church,
East Hartford, Conn., is to be quite .a
St. Albans affair. At least the elaborate
description of its candles and altar clothes
would so indicate.
The American Catholic College, at
Rome, has thus far received one hundred
and eighty-nine thousand dollars toward
its endowment, through the energetic la
bors of Father Duane.
According to the New York Times the
lack of young men for the ministry is not
owing to the distaste for the clerical pro
fession, but because they are paid such
poor salaries that very few young men
are willing to enter upon the work.
Twenty camp meetings are to be held
within a radius of about one hundred
miles of this city, during the month of
August. Tarentum, McKeesport, and
Leetsdale meetings are within a few
miles of the city, and are likely to be
largely attended.
Rev. Henry Slicer, who was Chaplain
of Congress for several years, is now and
has been for many, years Chaplain of the
Seamen's Bethel, Baltimore, is 'nearly
fifty years in the itinerancy and effective
all the time. Not long since a friend in.
quired how it is that he has preserved so
remarkably the health and vivacity of hi s
early years, to which he jocosely and
emphatically responded, : oßy abstaining
from tobacco and whisky, and doing the
full work of a Methodist preacher."
A call has been issued, numerously
signed by ministers and laymen, of differ
ent dendminations, for a Convention of
all Evangelical Churches of the State of
Ohio, to be held.at Columbus, on Novem
ber 30th and December Ist and 2d. Each
church is invited to send its pastor and
two laymen. The main object of the
Convention is to consult in regard to the
best and most appropriate means ofreach
ing the masses with the Gospel. The
Religious Telescope says similar conven
tions are announced to he held in several
of the Middle and Western States thii fall
and winter, about in the following order:
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Minne
sota, Michigari,.. Wisconsin, Kansas.
Why not in Pennsylvania, too? as we
surely need one ?
It Is stated Rev. R. J. Nevin, of the
Church of the Nativity, South Bethle
hem, is to succeed Rev. Dr. Lyman, at
the American Chapel at Rome. .
The Classics of (Dutch Reformed)
New York, at its late session examined a
young colored man, William L. Johnston,
It member of the South Church, New
York City, and a graduate of Lincoln
University, Oxford, Pennsylvarda.
The Banner of the Covenant, pub
lished at Philadelphia. has been com
pelled to suspend it; publication. This
paper is frequently styled Mr. George H.
Stuart's paper.
According to the Presbyterian, the
membership of the Baptist Church at Sa
lem, New Jersey, has increased to such
an extent that a new Society is about
being organized. The number who will
join this movement is about one hundred.,
Congregationalism appears fo be pros
pering in Ohio. There are some ten or
twelve churches without houses of wor
ship, which must have aid to build. The
Advance represents that at the late State.
Conference, Rev. Edward Anderson, of
Ashtabula, was appointed Secretary of
church building for the State, auxiliary
to the Congregational Union, to advance
the cause in Ohio, and secure funds for
that purpose.
It is humiliating to learn that some con
gregations pay their ministers such poor
salaries that they are forced to teach,
practice dentistry, or do something else, or
their wives are compelled to teach music
in order to secure a comfortable living.
The Churchman, in a late issue, gives an
instance, and we know cases of a similar.
character. We hope few congregations
will allow this charge to be made against
them.

CITY H ALL.
Its Changes and ziaprovements—The
Model Place for Lectures, concerts
Balls, Parties and Public Meetings
We have previously announced that.
under the very wise appropriation of,
City Councils, the Market Committee
have been Making a series of 'important
improvements and changes' in the in
terior of City Hall, which is by all odds
the largest, safest, moat attractive and
best ventilated place for" parties, balls,
fairs, concertaand lectures in Pittsburgh.
These improvements have just been
completed, and the Hail will be thrown
open shortly for public inspection. The
Market Committee last evening met, and
after examining the tine fresco and
painting work, concluded to accept the
job as finished, from Mr. J. Stuleman,
the artist, who bad the contract.
That he discharged his work
well and faithfully and in such
manner as to leave no doubt of his su
perior skill and attainments in his Atte,
is amply evidenced in the elaborate and
beautiful furnish and design of the
walls and ceilngs of the ha 11... The colors
have all been well chosen and their _
blending develops the exqui.ilte taste of
the artist. Mr. Stuleman has studied
frescoing under the most accomplished
American and Italian artists of the east
ern cities and has attained wide reputa
tion by the excellence and finish of his
work. City Hall as let by his hands is
a marvel of neatness and as pretty as any
could desire. The painting and fresco
ing of the office rooms and entrances have
not yet been quite completed, but will
be before the close of next week.
Material changes in the design of the
hall have been made, the principal of
which is the carrying forward of the
music gallery some fifteen or twenty feet
into the body of the hall. This / change
supplies the long felt want of a dining
room in the hall, and in itself is) a deci
ded attraction. In this gallery tWo hun
dred couple can be comfortably accom
modated at the graceful supper tables, or
if desired for dancing purposes twenty
sets could conveniently - be formed in a
quadrille. Kitchens and larders are
connected with the, dining gallery and
supplied with cooking ranges and
.stores, so that no difficulty• need be
experienced in getting up suppers
for parties • in good style. This ad
, dition does not detract from the
general beauty of thhall, but to the iCon
trary improves it nd gives it a more
graceful, light and eautiful appearance.
It is proposed by the Committee to keep
City Hall in good order and repair af- all
times, and to exacta fair rent for its use.
If political parties chose to use it for pa
Mice purposes the transient rates will
be charged, as the idea of the gentlemen
having it in charge is to realize a revenue
to the city from it, as there are no reasons
why such a firstclass, well appointed
and attractive hall should not: yield
profit to the'! municipal treasury.
We feel proud ot City Hall as itnow is
and hope strenuous effe:t; will be
made to keep it always in equally good or
der and condition. We are) not advised
how it will be re-inaugurated, but what
ever is first held in it will be sure to pay,
as the public have been on the alert of
expectation to participate in such an op
' cation. The hall is now ready; for en
gagements, and as mai3v applications are
already pending for the party season ap
' preaching, our friends suould • bestir
themselves if they desire to secure it
for any occasion, as its popularity is
only commencing, and it will. hereafter
6 have the call and prove the favorite of
the city. ~
