ALABAMA has elected four Republicans
and two Democrats to Congress. We
',have no returns as to the State Legislature.
THE work of construction is in pro
gress along the entire length of the Pitts
burgh and Connellsville Railway, and
another year will complete our direct
connection with Baltimore.
FROST AND SNOW are unseasonable
luxuries in an American August. Maine
had a snow storm on Friday night, and
at our own Altoona, on Saturday morn
ing, a heavy frost whitened the ground.
IT IS RUMORED in Philadelphia that the
Packer men are bargaining with their
disreputable nominees, on the Demo
cratic city ticket, to buy them off. The
value of the respective nominations has
been assessed, and the only thing, at
present, in the - way of a trade, is that, the
Packer men think the figure too high.
These rumors have general - currency in
that city, and seem, to be generally cred
ited. ' There are, moreover, not a few
people who regard it as the joke of the
season that Kr. Paoliar's friends should
profess such a Pecksnifflan distaste for
the local association.s
Tut. ECLIPSE on Saturday afternoon
afforded a vast field for interesting study
and observation to the scientific, and that
-'the opportunity was fully embraced the
copious notes elsewhere reported amply
demonstrate. Much valuable informa
tion pertaining to . the planetary system,
and a wider, faller and broader knqwl
- of the beautiful science of Astronomy,
must certainly result from the careful ob
servattnns taken at various Points by
those who devote their lives to star
gazing. Persons interested in the great
er development of science will impatient
ly await the details of the observations
made where the total eclipse was wit
nessed and Fubmitted to all the searching
investigations of true scholars, aided by
the many faultless astronomical isstru-
meats which have been invented during
the past score, of years to faithfully reg.
later the movements of the heavenly
bodies and detect many facts of value
-connected with them. . •
Tax HOPE had' prevailed previous to
Saturday that the contest for aquatic su
periority on the 4onongahela river be
t ween HANaLL and COULTER wouldhave
contributed toward elevating the linvigo
rating sport, and redeeming it from the
odium and distrust in which it was almost
universally held by a people who thought
their confidence had been repeatedly out,
raged during the fouling season. Those,
however, who repaired to the course on
Satfirday to see a fair and manly contest
between the acknowledged aquatic chain-
,pions ; of the State, returned home with
expectations sadly dieapppinted.. ' , The
race was a farce, a bare _repetition of
the old story—a fraud, s cheat, ,
a deception. We are sorry that it
flicl - not realise the hopes of -those
while not actually interested in sporting
matters, felt that there was a possibility
of their being elevated to a higher plane
and made sources of innocent amusement
to the public, and at the same time engen
der a spirit looking to the greater physical
development and improvement of the
people. It seems that the day for fair
races on the water has gone by, and until
those participating in them show evidence
of reform and less disposition to humbnir
the people, they should receive no en
couragement and be fr owned down in
their demoralizing exhibitions.
ItErunramv DISSENSIONsin Tennessee
result in the loss of the State Govern
ment. The majority for SENTER is large,
but the opposition majority in the new
Legislature Is . still more decisive. The
jubilant rebels claim this result as a vic
tory for "reform and a white man's Gov
ernment," and measures for calling a
Constitutional Convention are already
under discussion. Every rebel is to be
legally enfranchised. This, we did not
object to. But colored suffrage is to be
materially or wholly abrogated, if the
rebel programme can be carried out—a
point upon which there may prove to
be some doubts. The policy of the now
victorious opposition must have the effect
to heal Republican divisions—and to
restore, in due time, the Republican
ascendancy. The present rebel majority
will reject the XVth Article, and will
send some bad man, almost as bad as
Johnson, to the U. S. Senate; and it will
remit, the lo4lpolitics of the State to the
wretched situation of six and *seven years
since. Beyond these results,. the rebel
victory will amount to but little, so long
as Gov. SETTER remains faithful to his
own Republican profession. Without
his cooperation, the colored disfranchise
ment, which the rebels propose, can never
be consummated—and that leaves it
among the certainties that the Republi
cans. of Tennessee, wiser for this year's
experience, will 'ere long regain their
local mastery.
OHIO POLITICS.
General ROSECIANS declines the doubt
ful honor of leading the Ohio Democracy
in the present canvass, as their nominee
r
for Governor. If th dispatch in another
column comprehends the entire text of his
declared refusal, it must be regarded
as significant of anything else but
a grateful sense of an intended distinc
tion. It is possible that the mails
may bring, to the distracted opposi
tion in our adjoining State, a more
elaborate statement of the General's posi
tion and sentiments. The , present tele
gram is in reply to a categorical demand
sent to him, also by telegraph on Friday,
that he should accept or decline at once.
His more formal letter, if he writes one,
may place his declination on the same
courteous ground, that of existing private
obligations, but there can be no real
Question upon the facts, that Gen. ROSE
ca.e.ws could -not under any circum
stances, accept such a nomination from
aparty having a record so disloyal, - and
that the rebel sympathies of the Ohio
Democracy must have decisively excluded
any possibility of their giving to any dis.
tinguished soldiers in the : Union cause a
sincere and efficient support. ,
The State Convention will be again as.
sembled, to fill the vacant leadership on
their ticket; its choice ought to lay be
tween Messrs. PENDLETON and RANNEY.
But it is - said that the latter absolutely
declines to permit any further considera
tion of his name. There are a baker's
dozen of nobodies, like Cary, McCook
and White, wiose names may be discus
sed on the margin of the new Conven
tion, but, if Judge 11ANNEY adheres to
his refusal the selection of Mr. PirtimrroN
noir — seerns inevitable. The platform, as
it now stands, will suit that gentleman,
its leading resolutions reiterating his pe.
culiar dogmas touching the taxation and
redemption of the Federal bonds, going,
indeed, a step farther than he was frank
enough to admit last year, and boldly
presenting the alternative of repudiation.
It is quite useless for the Ohio Democ
racy to repeat the rash experiment which
has resulted so unfortunately. The se.
coed Convention will sot risk another
military nomination. The dissittisfaction
occasioned by the selection lof ROBE
CHAS'S, and which is so prominent that a
call is now out for another Convention of
the true "Copperhead" party, warns
the leading wire•workers against a
'second imposition upon Democratic
patience and consistency. The Con
vention which is to meet again, will
look for some candidate who will stick,
among the old Democratic guard, and Mr.
PENDLETON will be found, still as he has
been, their most available man. They
should have taken him at first, avoiding
thereby the demoralization' which the
Rosecrans blunder has caused, and the odi.
um of a sectarian attack upon the popular
system of education, which will continue
o plague the Democracy as an especially
mischievous result of their false move.
Whomsoever they shall now put in nom
ination he will go into the canvass
against the heaviest odds. We shall see if
Mr. PENDLETON has the courage to meet
the situation.
THE COAL QUEIiTION.
- I
The strike among the miners through.
ounhe anthracite counties his certainly
had the effect which the projectors of it
designed, of increasing the price of coal.
The advance In rates has been large, and
this notwithstanding the supply will be
at least as full as last year. The improv.
ed prices inure to the benefit of the
PITTSBURGH. GAZETTE.: AIONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1869,
miners, the individual operators and the
middle-men, While the great corporations,
common laborers, dock-hands, boatmen
and the consumers of coal are the suffer
ers. As a natural consequence a strong
and almost unanimous feeling has grown
up in New York and the Newt England
States in favor of the repeal of the entire
duty on foreign coal. Excpiting the
New York Tribune, we cane t recall a
single newspaper' of influence • that is
likely to resist this movement, and even
that journal, so far as our recollection
serves, has given no absolute indication
of its opposition.
It is certainly asking much of the con
sumers of any commodity that they con
sent to have foreign competition exclud
ed by impost-duties, and domestic corn' :
petition by combinations among home
producers. Each an combinations
ren
ders nugatory one of the most potent ar
guments h favor of the protective policy,
which is, that discriminating or even
prohibitory duties do not tend to mono
poly, because home . rivalry would bring
down rates to the lowest point at which
any article'can be afforded. If, therefore,
the miners should brine down upon them
selves sharp competition from abroad,
they would deserve it richly, and find no
sympathy in their discomfiture. The
'people of this country, or of any consid
erable portion thereof, ought not to sub
mit to monopoly in any article of prime
necessity, for so much as a day, if they
have an efficient remedy in their hands,
and they will not.
It may turn out, that with an assured
and steady market, the trade in foreign
coal, with the present duty of $1.40 (gold)
taken off, would assume such magnitude
as to operate as a counterpoise to combi
nation at home.
It is not understood that the leading
coal companies will interpose a formid-
able opposition to the repeal of the duties.
They rest upon two assumptions; first,
that the repeal of the duty will not tic- .
complish the end aimed at; second, that
if it shall, their own operationi will be
placed on a basis of certainty which they
, ,
can Lever attain iotig as the minertl
virtually dictate the rates at which coal
shall be sold.
What effect the movement for the ad
missiolt of foreign coal will have upon
the general scheme of Protection now in
force, is a matter that cannot fail to elicit
serious consideration. Quite probably,
under cover of this movethent, which
appears to be so popular as to defy resist-
ance, attempts will be made to reduce or
repeal the imposts on other articles, es
peclally on those the production of which
is now held in monopoly, either through
patents or other instrumentalities. If so,
the movement may ultimately reach a
volume disastrous to the whole manufac
taring industry of the country. In view
of the portents, it certainly becomes those
who are specially interested in the main
tenance of protection to ascertain wha
means of defence they possess agains

BROliacili COUNTY comurrEE.
Meeting on Saturday—Report of Coin.
mitten ! on Registration, etc.
The Union Republican Executive Com
mittee met on Saturday, at eleven
o'clock, in the District Court room, and
was called to order by the Chairman,W.
S. Puryiance, Esq.
There was a large attendance and a
.considerable amount of routine business
was transacted.
DIGEST Or THE REGISTRY LAW.
B. F. Lucas, Esq., Chairman of the
Committee on Registration, submitted
the following report, which was accepted
and adopted.
The Coinmittee on Registration ap
pointed by the Republican Executive
Committee of Allegheny county, re
spectfully beg leave to report the follow
ing isynopsis or digest of the Registra
tion act, approved April 17, 1869, which,
in the opinion of your Committee, ex
hibits the various things necessary to be
done under the provisions of so much
of said act as is applicable to the State at
large, including, the duties to be per
formed by the Commissioners, Assessors,
Election officers. etc.
FIRST: Duties of Assessors ;
By Section 1, of the. Registration act,
each Assessor is required to take up the
transcript, or list of taxables resident
within his district, furnished him by the
Commissioners of the county, under the
provisions of the act of April 16, 1834,
section 8, relating to the assessment of
taxes. Jk.
In almostevery district names will be
found on this list or transcript, of per
sons who are not legal voters. It is
made the duty of each assessor to com
mence tho revision of this list on the
first Monday of June in each year. He
is required
.First.—To strike from this list the
names of every person who is know by
him to have died, or removed from his
district, since the last previous mesas
meats, or in other words, since the said
list was made out.
Second. —He shall also strike from the
said list the names of such persons as
hays been made known to him to
Have died or removed from the district.
Third—He shall add to the same list
the names of such persons as he shall
know to be qualified voters, and who
shall be known by him to have removed
into the district since the last previous
assessment.
Fourth—He shall also add to such list
the names of each persons, qualified vo
ters as shall be made known to him to
have removed into said district since the
last previous assessment.
Under this Fourth Article it is proper
to remark that Assessors should add to
the lists the names of no persons not
known to them, without satisfactory evi
dence that such persons had not only
moved into the district since the last pre
vious assessment, bat also that they were
legal voters.
Fifth—He shall also add to the said list
the names of all persons who shall make
claims to him to be qualified voters in
his district.
And here again, under this fifth arti
cle, it is proper to say that the Assessor
should not,add to his list the name ofany
person making claim to him to be a
qualified voter in his- district if the As
sessor know him to be either a non-resi
dent of the diarist, or if a resident, not
.
to be a legal voter. And if the person
making such claim be wholly unknown
to the Assessor. itils his duty to require
of the' person so claiming to have hie
name added to the list, clear and satis
factory proof both of his residence with
in the district and his legal right to vote.
Sixth—So soon as the Assessor shall,
have completed the revision of his list
in the manner before stated, it is his duty
to take his list so revised, and visit.every
dwelling house in his district, and ascer
taM by careful inquiry if any person
whose name still remains on his list has
died or removed from the district, and if
so, to strike each name from the list. He
will also carefully Inquire so as to ascer
tain whether any qualified voter resides
in his district whose name is not on his
list, and if so to add such name to his
list. The Assessor should be careful to
add no name to his list without being
fully satisfied, either from his own per
sonal knoivledge, or from satisfactory
evidence, that the person whose name is
so added to the list is a legal voter and a
bona fide resident of the district.
A'eventh.—ln all cases of an addition
of a name to his list by the assessor, he
shall assess a tax forthwith to such per
son; and the Assessor shall in all cases
ascertain, by inquiry, upon what ground
the person so assessed claims to be a
voter.
From this provision of the act it will
be' at once seen that the duty of the
Assessor is to see personally, in all cases
of additions to the list, every person
whom he registers within his district.
He should register the name of no per
son at the instance-or request of a third
party, but only at the instance of the
person to be registered himself, and then
only upon the personal knowledge of
the Assessor of the applicant's right to
register, or upon sufficient evidence of
such right.
Eighth—Upon the completion of the
registration, the, Assessor is to prepare
an alphabetical list of the white , freemen,
above twenty-one years of age claiming
to be qualified voters in his district, and
opposite each name he shall state wheth
er such alleged voter is or is not a house
keeper, and if a housekeeper, he shall
note the street and number of his house,
if lying in a town where the houses are
numbered, or the names of the streets,
alleys, or Court, if in a town where the
houses are not numbered.
If the person registered be not a house
keeper, the Assessor will note upon his
list of voters the place of boarding of the
person registered, and the name of the
person with whom he boards, and in all
cases he will note the occupation of the
person registered, and if working for an
other, the name of the person for whom
he is working. He will also write pppo
slte the name of each person registered the
word "voter."
Ninth—Ng Aesessor should register
Any person claiming io Vote by Yeason of
his being naturalized until such person
exhibits to him his certificate of naturali
zation, unless such person shall have
been a voter in such district for five con
secutive years next preceding such reg
istration.
Tenth—The name of every person reg
istered by reason of naturalization
should be marked with the letter "N."
But if the person has only declared his
intention to become a citizen, intending
to be naturalized 'before the next elec
tion, the name shall be marked "D. I."
Eleventh—When the person registered
claims to vote because of -his being
between the ages of twenty-one and
twenty-two, the Assessor, at the time of
registering him should write opposite
his name the word "age."
Twelfth—lf the - person registered has
moven into the district to reside since
the last general election, the Assessor
should place the. letter "R" opposite his
name.
Thirteenth—U pon the completion of the
liat'of registration and ssessmeut by
a
the Assessor, it is made h t s
duty by the
second section of the act, f rthwith to re
turn the same to the Commissioners of
the county, who shall cause duplicate
copies of the said lists, the observa
tions and explanatio ,to be made ,out
as soon as practic le, which duplicate
copies they are to place in the hands of
the Assessor, whose duty it is made to
put one copy thereof on the door of or on
the house where the election of the dis
trict is required to be held, and to retain
the other In his possession for the in
spection of any voter of the district who
may desire to see the same.
Fourteenth—lt is further made the duty
of each Assessor, from time to time, to
add, on the personal application of any
one claiming the right to vote, the name
of such claimant, marking opposite the
name "C. V.," meaning thereby that the
person claims a right to vote, and Imme
diately to assess such person with a tax,
noting, as in all other cases, his occupa
tion, residence, whether a boarder or
a housekeeper; if a boarder with whom
ho boards, and whether naturalized or
designing to be naturalized.
Fifteenth—Any person so claiming to
be assessed and registered who has been,
or claims to have been naturalized shall,
at the time he applies at be assessed, ex
hibit to the Assessor his certificate of
naturalization, and if be claims that he
designs to be naturalized before the next
election, he shall'exhibit the certificates
of his declaration of intentions.
Sixteenth—No assessment or registra
tion of any names shall be made within'
ten days next , before any election, by any
Assessor under a penalty or fine not ex
ceeding one hundred dollars or impris
onment not exceeding three months, or
both such fine and imprisonment.
Seventeenth.—After the assessments
have been completed on the tenth day
before the second Tuesday in October in
