WHILE Republican dissensions have
resulted in the loss of Virginia and Ten
nessee, our friends in Alabama have been
wiser, increasing their majority, and
making large gains from among their old
and influential opponents. This harmo
ny will be emulated in Mississippi, where
the conservative sham - has been . fairly

tering some 45,000 members in the w

This advent of the Smiths has already

TEE ALLEGHENY DEMOCRACY hold
their County Coavention to day. For
Senator and Representatives they maybe
expected to make up a thoroughly para.

will depend upon the courage of the
leaders of the party, in practicing upon
the forbearance of the Democratic voters.
The experiment last year was not on the
whole a satisfactory one to them. It is
worthy of note that, when the suggeltion
was thrown out, in the columns of the
party organ, to dispense with a Co von
tion, and deploy the party for a guerrilla
warfare upon the Republican ticket, the
idea was not kindly recieved by honest
Democrats, who demanded that a repre
sentative ticket, should be set in the field.
It is in deference to the prejudices of a
large majority of the party, who were
disgusted with the last year's experience,
that to-liay's Convention meets. We
sauill see whether the same prejudices are

quarters to the suspicion that he may not
be sincere in his reiterated declarations
of fidelLy to Republican principles, the
foremost among which is that of obedi
ence to the laws. The test oath cannot
be dispensed with, uqtil the reconstruc
tio*of theatate has been approved by
Congress. This approbation can be given
only when the Senators and Representa
tives from Virginia apply for admission
to their seats. The "republican form"
of the Constitution, for the State Which
they clam to represent,will then be adju
dicated upon by each Rouse. Until that 1
decision is made, every requirement in

the test-oath is one of these. Neither
Gen. Canby, nor the President, nor the
Governor have a right to anticipate - the
Congressional decision. ,
'So far as Governor Walker, and his
friends oppose the proposition that Gen.
Canby shall hold not only that the seats
of the disqualified members are vacant,
but that their minority competitors shall

;concur with them. We cannot see that I
the laws require that reading. l!n the ab
sence of express provisions to that end,
the discretion of the military commander
can be more wisely exercised, and, as we
hope, will be: New elections should be
ordered in the vacant districts. Any
other course would be justly offensive to
the popular-sense. Let the people choose
the members who can qualify. When
finally organized, the X - Vth Article must
be ratified, but the State may choose such

THE LABOR CONVENTION.
The assembling of the National Laboi
Congress at Philadelphia at this time
should be made an important event if
those engaged in its transactions eviitee
true regard for the interests of the labor
ing elapses. There are many evils as
well as benefits associated with Trade
Unions. . There are rules and laws
adopted and lived up to by them which
render their organizations pre-eminently
despotic, and which contribute largely
towards holding back and crippling the
true interests of the working classes in
this country. A. return to the appren
tice system; the abrogation of customs
which allow no difference between skilled
and inferior laborers so far as compen
sation is concerned; the expunging from
their by-laws of odious rules which re
fuse to recognize women as workers, and
which throw up a barrier against men
of color preventing them from
discharging their duties to society as la
borers and producers on equal condition
with the more favored race; the return to
an appreciation of the fact that the inter
ests of the employer and the employed
are identical; that strikes are rarely justi
fiable, and at all times dangerous and
damaging expediencies for a betterment
of condition, are all objects which should
receive the large share of attention mer
ited by their importance. Combination
for mutual benefit and protection is espe
cially wise at this period; but those com
bining must respect other interests as
well as their own, and act not selfishly
for, transient individual aggrandizement
orgood, but in a large, broad and catho
lic sense for the general improvement of
all who go to make up the people of the
country—for capital as well as labor. We
shall watch with interest the workings of
the important body now in session at
Philadelphia, • and sincerely hope the
transactions will be of a practical na
ture, looking to reform'in some direc
tions and advancing in others.-

UP THE biOiithiGAIIIELA.
The friends of the Monongahela Valley
Railroad may justly claim to present to
our people the most meritorious project
of theday. It is in that direction that we
find the most important fled as yet unoc
cupied for our railway enterprise. The
new Mahoning line, giving us another
Eastern_ connection by the Allegheny
route, and the road up Chartiers Creek
into Washington county are effectively
provided for. Next comes this line up
the Monongahela,-- an enterprise which
ranks properly the next in order for the
public support. Its alignment, grades, lo
cal business intermediate connections and
ultimate distinction, ell combine to en
dow it with the strongest claims upon
the substantial approval of our citizens.
Following up a populous and w earthy
valley, passing numerous towns and vil
lages, and through the vast coal-deposits
of a region famous for the quantity as
well as the quality of its minerals, the
road reaches the West Virginia line, at a
distance of eighty-seven miles from
this city, with fewer engineering
difficulties and at a smaller esti
mated cost for construction than
have been 'encountered by any other
road built or now building in any direc
tion from this city. Extended yet twenty
miles farther, the B. & 0. road will be
crossed at Fairmont. Thence other ex
tensions southwestward -will be made,
as justified by the ability of the company
and the demands of its business, --every
added mile intersecting a mineral field
which will constantly grow richer--until
the heart of the Apalachian chain of
mountains has been pierced, and the co,
section completed with the railway-sys
tem of the South.
These results will not come in a day.
But let each day do its share, and that
will ensure a future quite equal to our
anticipations. Let us build enough of
this railway-line to make a fair beginning
now, putting the company on its legs,
with a recognizid existence in the linen?
cial world. All they want' Is a fair start
PITTSBURGII GAZETTE : TUESDAY AUGUST 17, 1869,
Give theta the fifty-two miles from this
city to Brownsville, and, if their manage
ment shall have ordinary prudence and
fidelity, the gradual extension of their
line, section by section, year after year,
under the stimulus of the business locally
developed, is absolutely bound to carry
it in due time to the remotest limits now
dreamed of "by its most enthusiastic
friends• lict one railway out of this city
will compare with the Monongahela Val
ley line whenever fairly under way, in
the ability to make the success of one
1 mile build snothet mile beyond it. Each
link aided in its extension, through the
vast deposits in the rich mineral field
which rests upon the upper Monongahela,
will necessitate, and will pay for still
more- Given a fair commencement for
this enterprise, and the end of the'next
ten years will see it recognized as the
most important of our railways for the
material interests of this central teat of
operative industry.
We quote from the Chronicle:
The location of the line of the Monon
gahela Valley Railroad has Just been
completed.; The results of the final our-
M
.
Teya are even ore favorable than at first
inticipatOti,luitilt behooves the vast coal
and manufaetitringintereats of the Val
ley and Pittsburgh to take hold of the
matter with and push it through
with dispatch. The subscriptions still
needed, ought to be raised wittiest much
difficulty, in view of the assured large
business the road will do as soon as
opened, and the trifling cos t of construc
tion.
The surveys are the most favorable
imaginable. Leak at the grades for in
stance: There is a perfect dead level from
the Panhandle bridge, twenty-nine miles
to Monongahela City, from thence to
Brownsville, twenty-three miles, a rise
of only ten feet. From that point to the
State line, a distance of thirty-five miles,
there is an up-grade of only forty-four
feet, making a total rise of fifty-four
feet in one hundred and seventeen miles.
Nor are there any tunnels or heavy,
costly cuts in the whole length mention
ed; no bridges of more than thirty
feet water course. The road, simply con
sidered as a local raihoad, will do a large
business as soon as built. There are over
fifty coalworks alone between McKees
port and the State line.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.
A reliable correspondent of the Balti
more American gives an interesting Sc:
.
count of a recent interview with Colonel
Walker, the recently-elected Goyernor of
Virginia:
"The Governor opened a 'conversation
on the political affairs of Virginia, declar
ing himself to be an earnest Republican,
an upholder of the Reconstruction acts of
Congress, in favor of the adoption of the
Fifteenth Amendment, and a firm and un
wavering friend of General Grant and his
administration. On asking him how it
was that he had been so earnestly sup
ported by those who had hitherto been
the most bitter opponents of all these men
and measures, he remarked that it was
evident that people outside of Virginia
did not distinguish between the people and
the politicians. He contended that the
great mass of the old politicians of the State
had opposed his election, refusing to vote
themsco v u e d ,
c an n d r ol n n u t en to c i vo teal; l
thwahtom
he
had succeeded in cutting the mass of the
people loose from the old politicians, and
if sustained by the Republican party and
the Administration , would soon succeed
in making good Republicans of them.
A great many men, he admitted, had
voted for him as what they regarded "the
least of two evils '
" but he contended
that the great mass had' given him a cor
dial support because they detested his
opponent, because they were disgusted
with the old politicians, and because they
believed he could secure them a repre
sentation in Congress, and the restoration
of the State to its old position in the
Union, which is now the first and ardent
wish of all the people.
Upon expressing• the opinion that he
would be overalaughed by the shrewd
and cunning politicians by whom he
e surrounded, the , Governor
promptly replied that he was a Northern
man, with earnest and settled bathe
on all national topics, and
tended to be Governor of Virginia, and
not a mere tool in the hands of any set
of men. He also significantly remarked
that the new Constitution gave to the
Governor the veto power—that he had
been elected by a large majority of the
popular vote of the State. 1
'ln alluding to his canvass of the State,
the Governor said that he had confined
himself to a discussion of what would be
beet for the interests of the people and
what should be promptly done to make
Virginia areat, powerful ' and wealthy
State, He g
had denounced their neglect
of their own interests for the/ promotion
of the political interests of professional
politicians, and had told them that all their
past and present woes were the result of
their bad teaching and worse actions.
They had driven them to the verge of
ruin, and had proved themselves utterly
incompetent to lead them out of it. - He
said that he was everywhere compliment
ed by the people on this new mode of
electioneering In Virginia. 1 They were
sick and tired of the old political harangues
from the hustings, and' personally
promised to stand firmly by him
in his effort to regenerate and disenthral
the State. Virginia recons cted, would
be flooded with a new and vigorous
population, wealth and skilled labor
would flow into her borders, the price ot
lands would rapidly enhance, her cities
become great and prosperons, and in no
way could this be done so ;Idly and ef
fectually as by the volun y return of
the people to their allegiance to the old
'flag, and the utter abandonment not only
of the exploded ideas that led to rebel
lion, but of that class of men who had,
since the close of the rebellion, labored to
keep them arrayed in bitter antagonism
to Congress, and to the great party of
progress that had shown a devotion to
principle, and a capacity and determina
tion to carry out its conscientious pur
-1 poses of government that must and did
t command the respect and admiration of
" the whole civilized world.

Tim Chatfield (Minn.) Democrat has

HODINESS.
Bandy to Have in the House.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe in an article
on "The Handy Man," in Hearth a-nd
Home, says:
A handy man is so practiced in the re
gulation of the little utilities of the house
he inhabits, that by a slight touch here
and there—a screw turned here and a
screw loosened there, and a nail driven
in time—he keeps all working smoothly,
and averts those domestic catastrophies
and break-downs of which Punch makes
so much capital in his pictures.
The handy man knows how to use
every sort of tool that keeps his house in
order. They are all neatly arranged, in
his own private drawer, sacred from the
meddling of children and the borrowing
of the careless. Is a pane of glass shivered
on a cold day, the unhandy man first
stuffs it with a bundle, or pastes it over
with newspaper, and then rushes to a
glazier's, who of course is not at home,
or who says he will come and mend it
m medlately, and doesn't come—mean
iwhile the wind blowing ingives the baby
the croup, and the mother a severe cold.
The bandy man, on the contrary, has
his diamond, his measuring rule, his put
ty, all in readiness at a moment's notice,
and the replacing of the pane of glass is
an affair of a quarter of an hour, before
he goes to his office or store.
There springs a leak in the joint of a
hot-water pipe. The handy man has hie
soldering tools and kettle,
and it is
wn
stopped in a moment, while the unhandy
man is running up to after a plumber.
The handy man has no small bills to pay
to any kind of mechanic, for he stops
every leak in its commencement, and re
places every screw the moment it is loose.
A. piece of veneering starts on the side
board door. The handy man has an in
visible brad of precisely the size to drive
in this placa—it is done in a moment.
The unhandy man sees the crack widen
ing day by day, in imbecile despair. Fi
nally, the molding falls off, and leaves a
long, unsightly seam. •
There is one loose screw in one of the
hinges of the wardrobe door—the door
will not shut, the difficulty increases day
by day, until the whole hinge is loose,
and finallythe door, hanging by ts i whole
weight on the lower hinge, and assisted
by the unskillful hands of green Erin,
tears off altogether, with such a wreck
and crush as make it necessary to send the
wardrobe to the cabinet maker or bring
the cabinet maker to the wardrobe. What
journeys and consultations of the hapless,
unhandy man !
In like manner, there is a leak some
where in the roof of the house, and every
time that it rains, through this leak, in
some mysterious manner, the water drops
down through the ceilings of the rooms.
The unhappy man is exhorted by his
wife that this ought to be attended to. He
promises to attend to it and forgets it—he
never thinks of it until irbegins to rain,
and the water begins to drop:. and pails
and tubs are in requisition to. catch the
superfluous moisture. Then, agonized
and penitent, he flies to the house carpen
ter, who promisee to come, and forgets it
likewise, and so on through successive
showers and floodings, till finally there
comes an avelanche ofplastering, which
ruins the carpet and furniture underneath,
ana makes the question of mending the
roof no longer doubted. Repairs of some
ich
$2OO have now to be done, on account of
a leak wh the handy man would have
stopped in two hours.
The handy man not only can do all
those things which properly belong to,
men's department, but, in case of sick
ness or other causes that disable the
female part of his household, he can dis
tinguish himself, in their peculiar depart
ment. He can cook nicely—he can meke
bread, and bake it so as thereafter to be
enabled to instruct the cook in many
points which have escaped Hibernian ob
servation. He can set a table and cut
bread with a deft nicety that has been
supposed peculiar to female hands alone.
We have insisted so far on handiness
in men. As a general thing, there ismore
of this property in women than in men,
but there is a very great want of cultiva
tion of this faculty among women.
The ordinary class of servants whom
we receive into our houses are unhandy
to a degree that amounts to a fine art.
They are really injurious in finding un
expected wrong ways of, doing a thing.
Placed as we have described, in houses
full of delicate and: critical contrivances
which require only thoughfulness and
nice handling to keep them in good work
ing order, they are, some of them, quite
remarkable in their capacity for getting
things out of order.
But in the same manner that it is de- .
sirable that a man should understand and
be able to occasionally do the work of a
woman, and - as he can do it without be
coming unmanly, so woman can learn to
understand and to do many things which
pertain to the work of men, without be
coming unwomanly.
A woman who lives in the country,
for example, may sometimes be able to
save a life by knowing how to harness or
pa horse. it le, of course, not a
roper, feminine employment, but it is a
thing quite easily learned, and the
knowledge of which may come in play
in exigencies.
We think it would be an advantage for
women to learn to use the more ordinary
tools of a carpenter—the plane the gim
let, the screw and the screwdriver—tn
which case they might stop many of the
little domestic leaks we have indicated.
It should be an object; in educating
children of both sexes', to encourage ti
versatile handiness.' If there Is a child
who is peculiarly unhandy, the parents
should stimulate that child to endeavor
to rectify this defect, to become skillful
and dexterous. Children should be en
couraged and guided in any inclination
they may have to construct and to make
and to mend. Mothers should train boys,
whilethey are little, to do the work of
women, by way of giving versatility and
dexterousness to the use of their hands.
And we think girls might, with advan
tage, learn to do some of the works of
boys, with the view to strengthen their
hands. Each sex would be the better
tor acquiring a little something from the
other.

Don Piatt gives the following incident
of a trip by boat from Cincinnati to
Louisville:
A. gentleman of tall, portly figure sat
n ear me. He bad a rather good head,
inclined to baldss a hooked nose.
prominent chin, fresh' complexion, and
wore his clothes as no other creature born
of woman and sat on end to advertise a
a tailor can do, save a Kentuckian. He
looked like a lord of creation and talked
like a negro. "Thar they go,"
he cried,
resting his long legs uponthe guard of
the boat and squirting tobacco juice with
the accuracy of a Thart ough the open
ing before him, " they go, wheat,
oats, corn, and grapes, up the sides of
the hill till clean over. Don't see any
thing of that sort over t'other, not by a
longshot. Our cussed fellers in Ken
tucky don't scratch about in that ar
way."
"Probably they enjoy themselves, in
their way, quite as much as their more
industrious neighbors." •
"Lord God, yes. When it_ comes to
enjoyment our fellers count ten. They
hold lull hands, I tell you. But enjoy
nient is gettin' to be costly, you see, It
am't what it once was, when a feller
could get blind drunk on a dime. We

"What do they do for a living?"
"It's hard to tell, stranger. If a chap

he can set. Good many go to the far
west. Some tend bar or keep billiards
—mighty few work. That is about the
last thing a Kentucky cuss thinks of."
Babie's
An eminent physician in Hearth and
Home contributes the following exquisite
article for the benefit of young mothers.
It is the richest gem we have culled for
some time. He says :
An intelligent young. mother inquired
some (lays since how sue could hest pre
serve her child's linen - clean and sweet,
when changed frequently during the day.
I directed her never to dry it by the
fire, but in the sun and open air, if the
weather permitted. You thus not
only avoid saturating the air of your
rooms I, with the volatile and poisonous
gases driven out of the linen, but the
sun's rays have powers of cleansing and
disinfecting which artificial heat has not,
and will purify and preserve the linen.
She followed my directions, but as is too
often the practice, dried and aired it in '
the nursery window. Her fastidious hus
band remonstrated in vain against this
unseemly exposure. Believing that if
she saw her practice as others saw it, she
would desit, he so directed their after
noon walk s as to bring the nursery win
dow in full view from a central part of
the town. Stopping abruptly, he pointed
to the offending linen flapping conspicu
ously in the breeze, and asked sarcasti
cally: "My dear, what is that displayed
from our window?" y," she proud
ly replied, "that is the flag of our
Union!" Conquered by this pungent re
tort, he saluted the flag with a swing of
his hat, and pressing his wife's'arm closer
within his own, sang,. as they walked
homeward,
And long may it wave."
A Dutch Caual.
The great ship canal which is to con
nect Amsterdam with the North Sea, at a
cost of 27,000,000 guilders, is now once
more in progress, the Government of the
Netherlands having relieved the contract
ors of certain difficulties which for a time
hindered the work . The canal will be
about fifteen miles in length: one portion
of its course lies through the sea known
to the Dutch as the Y, and through Wy
ker Meer, where it will be strongly em
banked. The sandy peninsula beyond,
about five miles wide ' will be cut through,
and a harbor .will be built at its month,
at a part of the coast where a harbor is
greatly wanted. For the proper utiliza
tion of this canal the Zuyder Zee is to be
shut out from Amsterdam, and the Pam
pus dam by Which this Is to be effected is
already half finished, and the locks and
sluices connected with it are in progress.
By this undertaking Holland will add one
more to her grand engineering works, but
it appears to be an English firm who hold
the contract. The opening of the new
port as a harbor of refuge will be a boon
to all the mariners who navigate the
North Sea.
Effects of Lightning.
At a recent session of the Paris Acad.
emy of Sciences, a description was given
of the effects of lightning on the bridge
of Kehl, near Strasburg, on the 18th inst.
There were but a few drops of rain fall
ing at that momenta A low chestnut
tree was struck close to a building that
had a lightning conductor, the iron frame
work of the bridge being also not far off.
The preference evinced by the electric
fluid for the tree could only be explained
by the circumstance that three soldiers,
having metallic accoutrements about
them, were sitting under it. Of these
three, one was killed outfight, another
died a few minutes later, and the third
survives, though he was knocked down
senseless. He does not recollect having
been struck, he is not paralyzed, but still
suffers from a slight though obstinate un
easiness. The clothes, skin, and metallic
articles worn by the three all presented
marks of the passage of the fluid; but
death was exclusively caused by asphyxia,
I not by any mechanical derangement of a
m vital organ.
TAIE.ING of new processes in the man
ufacture of iron, the New York Times
says: There are really three rematkable
facts about all really successful inven
tions of this kind. First, they are never
perfected at once, but they are developed
by slow, costly and painful efforts. Sec
ond, they never at once supersede old
processes nor embarrass invested capital
and established, business. Despite the
Bessemer process, more puddled iron is
made to-day than ever before, and the
Ellershausen prJcess has come in to rein
force puddling. Despite all short cuts in
cast-steel making, the crucible pracess is
more largely practiced than ever before,
and the Siemens ihrnace is perhaps more
valuable to it than to its great rival. This

One of Ltte's Contrasts.
Three years ago, while breakfasting at
a mininc restaurant near the Oregon line,
a granger with uncombed hair, huge
gray whiskers and tattered coat, took lila
seat at the table. By accident, I was re
lating to the landlord an incident which
had occurred some years previously in
the Connecticut Valley. After I had left
the table and was walking alone, the un
shorn stranger accosted me. "You are
the first man," said he, "whom I have
heard mention my native town for twen
ty-three years, and It made my heart
come up in my mouth when you did so."
This circumstance doubtlessly made him
unusually communicative. He said he was
living in the mountains, ten miles from
any.habitation, subsisting by hunting,.
and visiting the settlements two to three
times a year. This statement was after
ward corroborated by other evidence.
What induced him to lead this hermit lite
he did not see fit to explain. In his early
boyhood, on the banks of the Connecti

farms, and attended the same public

A Bloody Bayonet.
From :England comes the frightful in
telligence that a new bayonet has been
invented which is a combined saw and
sword. The sword edge will cut a sheep
into joints, and the saw edge will easily
saw the shin bone of an ox. This
pleasing weapon is proposed not only for
the British infantry, but for the Irish con
stabulary. It is believed that it can be
improved by pointing it with a denotating
cap, which will explode Inside a man's
body, blowing him into Minute frag
ments and thus saving - the expense of
gathering and burying the dead and the
delays occasioned by flags of truce for
these purposes on battle fields.
A. MINISTER was on his way to chtirch
one Sunday morning, and saw a boy on
the river bank fishing. -
"My boy," said the clergyman, "don't
you know that it is Wicked to catch fish
on Sunday ?"
"Guess I hain't sinned much yet," said
the boy, without taking his eye _from the
cork, "hain't had a bite."
Minister coughed and went on.
WAKING Ur.—"lt is a standing rule in
my church," said one clergyman to
another, "tor the sexton to wake up any
man thathe sees asleep."
"I think," replied the other, "that it
would be better for the sexton, whenever
a man goes to sleep under your preaching,
to wake you up." -

is an excellent dressing for gardens, and
