ONE RUNDE= AND SIXTY-ONE, being a majority, of the delegates to the late Democratic City Convention at Philadel- phia publish a card in the Age of the 24th, protesting against its proceedings, and demsuading an immeoiate re-assemblage of the Convention. -In the same_ journal appears the card of Jos. N. PXERSOL, backed by a half column of affidavits from individual delegates to the same Convention, which, says Mr. P., is "but a few of the many at his command, show ing the seen manner in which the Convention was managed, with its un blushing frauds and violations of the rules." The - Age prints these dam aging statements in its advertising• columns, without a word of edito rial comment. The ' specific facts proved by the protestants, reveal the grossest and most impudent trickery and violence-rquite enough to condemn the Philadelphia Democracy beyond any possible defense. The Packer folks have got a very sick man on their hands in that part of the Commonwealth, without a%ope for saving the patient, except by the most liberal drafts unon the Nabob's coffers. What a nice set, of people they are, to prate about the corruption of the "Radicals." THE COOLIE immigration business has of late assumed vast proportions, and it has hardly occurred to the thinking public that the various gigantic schemes for the introduction of celestials into the labor markets of the country is "but a new modification of the slave trade." As such it is termed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and, when we consider the cir cumstances attending the wholesale im pOrtation of the Chinese to our shores, we incline te . the opinion that /he is right. The business of bringing laborers to the country to supply plantatiOns and to build railroads and operate mines, largely pays the contractors, but how these peo p!e are gathered together In. their native !arid and persuaded to leave their homes and kinsfolks, for the uncertainties of an unknown country to them, has never been developed, nor have the conditions on which they enter the compact to emi- KAM, ft. any compact -be made, ever trensp3fad, They are brought here like 0e ,4 4142, sposed of by those instrumental king)ns Mem out, stul must riecessa- ITMabe h long Whitt ]moment of the ,frywAwans 14.44 its issys under whlsh . they may unconsciously be leading the lives of saaves.

THE POSITION OF GEN. CANT IL, touch ing the qualification of mer i t ,b emelect to the Virginia Legislature, sustained as strictly a sound one by t' 912091, emi nent lawyers of that State, ezed undoubt edly also by Attorney Gel Ara l HoAn, It is intimated that the Cor Tzervative mem bers will absent ahem mit if such a step is found requlff ,t e to counteract a Radical majority, w 1 yen .a quorum of lore Legislature assenabl An influential E astern journal "fails to see the wisdora (.of General CANny's de cision." It ad is: "We cannot see the necessity o i l imposing exactions in this case that T;ere not thought needful for Louisiana ." There can be no question either of the wisdom or of the necessity thus innxached, when we remember that the Ge.,ieral has no discretion whatever in the premises; he simply obeys the positive requirements of the law of July 11, 18436, which, in view of the Louisiana experience, providei ad ditional safeguards to insure a loyal Leg islature for Virginia. Clothed with no discretion by that statute, Gen. CANEY'S true wisdom has been exhibited in the faithful execution of its letter and spirit— a duty from which he has not teen de terred by the remarkable criticisms of the New 'York Republican press and in which we rely upon his being sustained by the cordial support of the Federal Ad ministration.' If this course shall ".drive loyal Virginians into opposition," it will be a proof that their loyalty is like the old qualification of color, but skin deep. For our own part, we frankly deny the wisdom of any journalist who recom mends to any officer the evasion or the disregard of a solitary letter of those laws which it is his sworn duty to execute. PRISON REFORM. One of the most difficult problems in social science, which the philanthropist and moral reformer have attempted to solve, is the treatment of rime and crim inals, so as to preveht the one and re strain the other. In ancient times, and up even to a comparatively recent period, criminals were incarcerated merely as a punishment for their crimes, without any regard whatever to the reformation of their lives and character. Even .in this advanced age in the world's history there are many good meaning people, who be lieve that this should be the only object in the imprisonment of offenders against criminal statuteS. There are not a few who look upon the inmates of county and State prisons as utterly irreclaimable to virtue, honesty and integrity, and deem every-effort made for their reformation as absolutely hopeless. If they are correct in their judgment, then the sooner all in stitutions of moral . and religious reform are abandoned, the better. It is useless waste of time, money and labor to keep their complicated machinery in operation. The pulpits of the land should be vacated at once, and. missionaries recalled from 'the scenes of their self-sacrificing labors. It is admitted on all hands that it is difficult to reform old and confirmed de linquentii---pen who have grown gray in crime. But it is a .rare thing to find a man so utterly .debased that no impression for good can'be made upon him.- Many, it is true, die as they lire—in a state of absolute debasement; - but-it may be in quired, Have the necessary \means been employed . , to rcclaim and reform them? We know that in all cases they hairetot. Why then should society complain, when no effort has been made to 'im- prove their character, and reform their lives, if culprits return to it from the cells of a jail or penitentiary, "twofold" or tenfold "more the children of hell", than they were before. We are indebted to Rev. E. C. Wmas, D. D., Corresponding, Secretary of the Prison(' Association of New York, for the twenty-fourth Annual Report of the Ex ecutive Committee of that Institution, with accompanying documents, for 1868, in which the whole subject of prison dis. cipline .. and reform is discussed with marked ability. The document consists of six hundred and seventy-two pages, and contains the most exhaustive discus sion of the subject we have met with. Although not so old as "The Philadelphia Society for alleviating the miseries of pub. lic prisons," which was instituted in 1787, and has done much to awaken public at. tentkm to the amelioration of the condi tion of criminals, the New York Associa tion his accomplished a great work, and through its noble, humane and persever ingtr later won the admiration of phil anthropis and the friends of prison, re ' form both in Euiope and America. The report which is now before us, and which, notwithstanding its voluminousness, we have read throng out, we earnestly com mend to the stud ous attention of all who take an interest in he improvement both by the moral and physical condition of unfor tunate convicts, The accompanying doc uments, furnished by the Corresponding Secretary and distinguished penologists in insular and Continental Europe, coninin many hints and suggest many reforms .. which - are worthy the most weep wen- tion It woTzld be impossible, in an article Like this, to present, even In the most r'FITSPKRGH tAZETTE MONDAY, JULY 26, 1869, car .densed form, all the matters discussed Or referred to in the report. The best hat we can, do is to call the attention of our reader.„ in a general way, to a few of the subjects, with the view of inducing theca to give them that careful and pro found. consideration which their impor tancrJ demands. The leading objects of the Society are. The amelioration of the condition of prisoners, whether held in custody for trial, as witnesses, or convicts; and the improvement of prison discipline and the government of prisons, which it holds, and we are far from denying, are as much in need of reform as the inmates them selves. Indeed, it will be a useless work to 'reform prisoners until most of our prisons and reformatories 'undergo a thorough and radical change. As at of organized and administered, most al them are nothing better than high schools of crime. It might be interesting if we. were to trace the history of prisons from the days of Joseph and Jeremiah down through the penal annals of Greece and Rome; or recount !be labors and services of Row an!), BECCABIA BENTIIAII, MILL, and others. But our limits prevent us from entering upon a field so extensive, how-. ever interesting its survey might be. - We are not certainly of the opinion that •jails and penitentiaries, or even housnof reform, should be made luxur ioult4Aes. We do not think they should be furnished as superbly, or appointed as completely as the parlor or drawing room of a law abiding millionaire. They should not, by any means, be surround ed with all the comforts of, a peaceful and virtuous home. If they were, a pre mium would thereby be offered to crime, and our prisons would beceme an incen tive rather than a preventive to the commission of flagitious deeds. The prisoner should be made to feel, from the surroundings of his confinement, that he is being punished and not rewarded for his crimes. Still, a due regard should be harto the sanitary condition of the pri son house, so that, as the true idea of imprisonment is reformation and not destruction, he may be restored to society and the industrial pursuits of life, with his physical energies unimpaired. Until within a comparatively recent period, greater sympathy has,been shown to the physical than the moral condition of convicts. When Jon:: HOWARD visited Rome he Lund the following ~inscription in one of the apartments of a prison there: "It is of little use to restrain the bad bypun ishment, unless you reform them - by dis cipline." That sentence, said the great and immortal philanthropist, whd let in the pure and health giving light of heaven into many a dank and dingy cell, and or namented their walls with the cheerful colors of moral cleanliness, contains "the grand purpose of all civil policy." It is all to no purpose to improve the sanitary condition of the prison whilst the charac ter of its inmates is unchanged. They remain criminals still, and contaminate all with whom they come in contact. Many a young inert, who in his youth ful indiscretion yielded unthinkingly to temptation, and found a hard bed in a prison house in consequence, has re turned to society a confirmed criminal, although only a -novice in crime when lie first entered. Indoctrinated in vice through the evil teachings of his guilty comranions in confinement, and deprived of the restraining influences of morality, his very soul became inlaid with a lust for crime, and he is thrown .back upon society a fiend incarnate. Reformation of , the criminal, then, should be the prime object of every one into whose custody he is committed. One of the greatest barriers in the way of reforming criminals is the facility with which pardons are obtained. " Execn tive clemency," in these days, is a pro litlc source of evil.. " The probability o At is often discussed on the way to the Prison ; it is the theme of nine-tenths f the letters written, and of the person I interviews friends ; and it prey& upo them night and day." The hope indulged In by the crim i nal, or inspired by anxious friends of the interposition of executive clemency, prevents S him from availing himself of the means of ieformation. So long as the faintest hope ota pardon re- mains, the healthy influences of aefortri ing morality are despised. The eaecu tives of the different States, as weiliis he 'United States, have greatly obstructed the reformation of criminals by the fiber MAY with which they have dispensed par dons. Another fruitful source of crime is ig norance. Returns from several State prisons show that the largest proportion of crime is committed by the ignorant, or "totally illiterate." From these it appears hat- twenty:five per cent., on an aver- age, of those who were imprisoned could not read at the time of their committal, and the proportion in common jails ex- ceeda even that. To prevent crime, let a sound and healthy literature be diffused among the masses; to reform the criminal, let him be instructed intellectually, mo• rally and religiously. With this view, a system of secular and Sabbath School in struction has been introduced into several prison houses, and the results have proied most beneficial The great hope of . the ,country 9 the young.: But . the statistics of uvenile depravity must fill the mind of every true , patriot mdth alarm It is estimated that in the year 1867, the number!•of convicts in the different State prisons in the . United States amounted to 15,340; of these about one•fourth, or 3,68; had not attained their majority at .the date of their com mittal. In some places the proportion was nearly one-half, and in others about one third. These statistics are appalling. But still there is hope. Since the opening of the different juvenile reformatories of the country, it is ascertained that 16,000, or about three-fourths of the whole num ber committed, have been "permanently reformed, and are now leading upright and respectable lives." From all the facts before us, we are led to the conclusion that the "Irish," or k "Crofton" system of prix n discipline, which, "while it throws n false guise over crime, has no expressio of revenge," is one of the best, if not the best, for the reformation of criminals that has yet been devised. ._ COmmu,ation laws, wherever they have been carried out, have been productive of satisfactory results. It is to be wished that the commutation law passed in our State in 1861, but pronounced unconstitional on some legal technicality, might soon be re-enacted in such form as to obviate all objections' There die some chapters in the report, relating tolthe bribery and corruption re sorted I e to to procure positions in prisons in the State of New York, that are of the most melancholy interest, and the more so, because The state of things which they reveal is not peculiar, we are well as sured, to that State, to which we would like to refer. • We would like also to pre sent a few thoughts in relation to "con vict labor," which is now being agitated quite extensively in New York. But these, with other Matters which have a most important bearing on prison disci pline and reform, we must pass over, at least for the present, as we have already exceeded our limits. But lei cannot con clude without' expressing the hope that the most able report before us shall have an extensive circulation, and meet with that careful consideration which the im portance of the subject, which it discusses with such clearness and at such great length, demands THE MILK IN THE COCOA-NUT. Under the Constitution, as amended by the XVth Article Maryland; Kentucky and probably Dela Ware will not continue quite as Democratic as they have been. The Maryland Republicans are already preparing for co-operation with the col , ored element, which they will secure in ample force to carry the State, ensuring not only a healthier Federal position, but applying the true remedy to the inequali. ties which at present disfigure the local distribution of State authority. In Ken tucky, the opposition, wiser in .. their per ception of the situation than ,are their friends in Pennsylvania, are already dis cussing the expediency of concili ating and if possible securing the colored vote. The Louisville Journal, always partisan but often shrewd, as sures the people of that State that negro suffrage is to be a fixed- fact, and admon ishes them to make the preparations which shall turn the new s tuation to Democratic account. There is vastly more of practical good sense in this, than was exhibited in the late Democratic ful mination from Harrisburg, by which our stiff-necked Bourbons reiterated their im placable hostility to a class of citizens who, in October, 1870, will cast more than eight thousand votes in our Commonwealth. Upon this point, a few data may not be without interest to the reader. There are about four and a half millions of col ored people within those States. Of these, three and one-half millions dwell in. States where their vote is already legalized, leaving less than one million yet to be enfranchised, of whom 330,447 are in the four States of Delaware, Ken tucky, Maryland and Missouri, and only 250,000 in the remaining thirteen States, calling themselves always free, of which Pennsylvania, as one, has about 57,000. Estimating one vote for each seven per sons, this computation will leave •about 'B,OOO votes in this State, about 35,000 votes in all the thirteen States last re ferred Ate, and about 80,000 votes in the four formerly slave-holding border States. Of the entire colored .vote, 631,000 of the thirty-seven States under the XVth Article, over 500,000 are voters already, and only about 125,000 are to be elevated thereby in political rights.' Five-sixths of the race is thus enfranchised now, and it is-to exclude the other .oneeixth part, and to prevent the 8,000 colored men of Pennsylvania from voting the Republi canN ticket that our Harrisburg fanatics still keep up their unprofitable clamor. The truth is that the opposition party had all the -brains beaten out of it by the disastrcius issue or its four years' armed rebellion; its phy sique survives, but mentally it is no longer anything but idiotic. Coniinning thus to cry "nig-nig•nlg-nigger," they remind. one of the lunatic who fancies himself a clock and ..stands in a corner- all . day, swinging his arm like a pedulum and audibly ticking at each stroke. Perhaps they would be cured of their delusion, if they could invent some way for the color ed man to vote on forged nitaralizatick papers, or otherwise to make himself useful in elucidating Democratic ideas of a pure suffrage. —A dispatch from Omaha says James W.

It is understood. that Secretary Cox has been tendered the new Judgeship in Ohio, but it is believed he will decline the hon or. Many of, his friends urge him to ac cept. Ex-Secretary Stanton has been advised by his physician to; leave Washington and spend some weeks upon the Rocky 3loun tains. Mr. S. expects to leave early. in August, if able to travel, and go to Lara mie Station, on the Union pacific Rail road. The intended.departure from this city of Secretary Boutwell, in a few days, for an absence of some weeks; is construed by politicians as an evidence that no effort will be made in Cabinet, where he is the k ading spirit of the working Radicals, to enforce a new election/in Virginia in certain districts where the successful can didates are unable to take the iron-clad oath. A delegation of Radical Republicans from Mississippi are here urging the Ad ministration to aid them in the approach ing canvass. They state that the Conser vative papers throughout the whole State are making the importation of coolie labor into the State, a political question, and are filled with threats that if the freed men do not vote as their employers direct they will be supplanted by Chinese. Hon. Benjamin Wadeldoes not believe Rosecrans will accept the Democratic nomination of Ohio, and, if he does, he will be beaten by a very large majority,; as Gov. Hayes is very strong with the Republicans, and will poll as large, if not a larger vote than Grant, while there arg thousands of peace Democrats who will not. ote for Rosecrans. The Anthracite Nabob. The fact that Asa Packer is a man of high personal character is not a mantle wide enough to hide the disaffection and profligacy of the Democratic leaders who nominated him for Governor. Wbile the Democrats of Maryland and Kentucky are preparing to show the freed men that they have always been their friends, in order to get their votes, the Democrats of Pennsylvania are preparing to show the colored people of this State that they have always been their enemies,• and intend to remain so to the end. The Harrisburg Telegraph attributes the nomination of Asa Packer for Governor, to the wire pulling of "Brick" Pomeroy and the expenditure of $lOO,OOO. The sum mentioned is not extraordinary from a Democratic standpoint; but that "Brick" Pomeroy should secure the nomination of anybody is a disgrace from which anybody ought not to be expected'to recover. The chap who was kicked to death by a jack ass bad abundant reason to be thankful that matters were not worse; but the man who is helped by "Brick" Pomeroy has no ',excuse for not killing himself in the most expeditious manner possible. We 'have some little respect for Asa Packer, but if he was nominated by "Brick' Pomeroy, and consents to. live in full view of the melancholy fact, his friends will consult.their own interests, and his, by shooting him on sight. NEW YORE DISPATCH says: Jude Plerrenont stated to-day that the United States Government has been for some time negotiating with Spain for the inde pendence of Cuba, and that dispatches had been eyed from the Spanish Gov ernment giving assurance that all blood shed in Cuba will -be stopped in a few days, and indicating that the independ ence of that island will be conceded im mediately. A receiver will Kobably be appointed in the law suit between Trinity Church Corporation and the heirs of Anneke Jam. The property in dispute is almost sixty million dollars. The basis of settlement between the lit igants in the management of the Toledo and Wabash Railroad Company, which we have already announced as having been accomplished, comprises the follow ing points: The Erie party are to with draw atl suits; the company to issue• $1,000,000 new stock, to be evenly divid ed between the two parties to the contro versy; the Alton and Toledo Road, one hundred miles in length, is to be cora mencesl within two months and finished within eight months; the Decatur and East St. Louis Road, now being built, is to be completed and consolidated with tht Toledo and Wabash Company, upon terms agreed on some time ago; the Erie party are to have three directors, out of fifteen, in the Toledo and Wabash man agement. OREGON LIIktDRIL—The lumber re sources of the State of Oregon are abun dant. Dense forests of the finest fir, spruce and cedar grow from the coast range and along the banks of the Comm biariver and its tributaries as far up as the Danes. There is an inexhaustible supply of the finest and beat quality of timber at the mouth of the Columbia river, and back of the town of Astoria is the most magnificent forest of spruce and yellow fir that is to be found anywhere on the Pacific coast. Nature has done everything to, make the forest, of timber along the Columbia river a source of great profit to the lum berman; the finest of timber being handy to shipping, and as there is fine water power on all the streams emptying into the Columbia, lumber can be manu factured very cheap. The bottom lands along the river are ilso covered with a thick grOwth of, vine, • maple, alder ; ce dar, ash and cottonwood.-41fa Cal. The Instruments for the French Cable. The Boston Journal says: "Through the kindness of Mr. Moses G. Farmer, the well-known electridan, at No. 2.i Con gress street, we have been able to see the workings of the instruments by which messages are sent throng% the Franco- American cable,whose arrival at Duxbury is expected-very soon. The instrument is wonderful, more for its simplicity than for anything else, and is substantially the same as that now used in transmitting messages over the Atlantic cable. It was found too slow a process to use the com mon relay instrument used in land lines . as it required a current of too great pow er, and also consumed too much time,. only about three or four words being sent per minute. By the present instrument about a dozen can be sent. Without going into scientific details,. the instrument is briefly this: A small tube about four inches long, like a small telescope, an inch in diameter. Midway in this tube is hung transversely, by a delicate silk fibre, a circular piece of mir ror, across which is a fine magnetic needle. Around the tube is coiled the fine wire through which the magnetic current is sent—in this case a coil con taining twenty thousand circles, forming a wheel, if it may be so called, of about three inches in diameter. There are two keys, and when one is touched it eauses the; needle to swerve to the east, mid when the other is touched it causes it to turn to the west. Of course in this motion the ;mirror is ' turned with it. Now, facing the mirror; and two or three feet from it, is a box con taining a brighs light, with a_mouth like a photographer's - camera, direet toward the mirror. The light is then thrown upon the mirror, and reflected from that upon a wall upon which there is a perpendicu lar black mark. Upon this mark, wheiz the instrument is not in operation, the perPendicular line of light from the mirror rests perfectly still. When one of the keys is touched, and the magnetic needle is moved, it of course moves the mirror with it, and the reflect ed line of light upon the wall is moved to the right or left of the black mark. One of the keys deflects it to the right and the other to the left. The Morse alphabet is used, omitting the spaced letters, or those where two dots or two dashes come together. A movement of the light once to the right of the black mark is a dash, and the one to the left a dot. This is the whole of the machinery by which messages are sent across the At lantic. 'Only this and nothing more.' The tattery required is very small, and a thimbleful of acid and metal - will work it. When one of the keys shall be touched at Dnxbury, the little line of -light will move within about two-tenths of a sec ond at Brest, and the first message will have begun. The scientific details connected with the theoretical part of the thing are nu merous enough; and the field, as Mr. Far mer opened it to a number of gentlemen connected with the press of the city of New York in his office, is a broad and attractive one indeed. The instruments to be used for the French cable have be n tested by Mr. Farmer, and were sent down to Duxburylastnight. It requires two men to receive a message—one to watch the light in a darkened room and announce 'dot' or 'dash,' as the light is, moved, to' a clerk. ONE OF THE !nom .
