A Nesavtun LETTER says that the Conservatives of the State have no dispo sition or purpose to Interfere . with colored suffrage. We shall see about that ! SOME of our very sanguine Republidan eotemporaries have been felicitating their readers upon the, fact that tiventy-tWO or even twenty-three States have ¶lready ratified the X - Vth Article. Official records at Washington show that brit twelve States have certified their affirmative itc tion. Six other States have ratified, but no notice thereof has been sent to the Secretary of State. NATuneuzzo citizens of the United States who return to their native country, with the evident intedt to remain there, or who accept offices there, inconsistent with citizenship here, or who otherwise conceal, for a length of time, the fact• of their American naturalization, or evince in any way a disposition to abandon the •rights acquired here, may thus so far re sume their original ellegiancs as to ab solve our Governdient from any obliga ,tion to protect them as American citizens abroad. • • Ma J. E. Inoznsom, the nominee of the Prohibitory Temperance Convention, , . of Ohio, for Governor, has declined the proffered honor. Although a temperance znan,he is also'an anti.slavery man, and regards the xyth Article as of more in , trim& importance than any other issue now before the people. He writes: "Believing that the maintenance o an Independent Temperance ticket at the 'coming election will hazard the success of this important measure, which I look to as the ,fi.coup de grace" of American slavery, I feet , bound to give my vote and what , influence I have, for the Re -publican ticket at this fall's election." Tax new time-schedules for fastrailway trains from New York to Chicago, by the rival routes, go into effect next Week. With an average speed of thirtymiles per hour, including all stops, the route via Pittsburgh. will require but twenty-seven. hours, or three hours less than any of its rivals. Tills rate of speed is-entirely practicable, and may be, if desired, accel erated-still more, without materially in ; creasing the peril. , for passengers. It is the railway owners who pay the diffe \ • ence between" twenty-five and thirty-tive tales per houri.in the increased expense of the service, the wear and tear of equip ments end superstructure being at least doubled at the higher rate of speed. As for the safety of passengers, it may be well to remember that over atleast severr eights of this entire route a speed of forty miles per hour would be quite within the limits of prudence. THE RACE TO-DAY. whatever may have been the feelings of apathy, , heretofore, in regard to the Harvard and Oxfoid boat race, we think they must give place today to a genuine Combination of interest and curiosity as 0 - the result. , To-day at five we shall probably have the Raws of the race in a late edition of the evening papers, pos sibly as.arly as three o'clock. Betting his been. done here and elsewhere on the lo a question that has been so violably disentsed by the English '-'l--iourahlt: 113 ,W4Vbll only our first im 4.it, 4t9 , :piessions to depend upon, and there can really be said to be a no odds. It may be as well here to recall a few of the facts in connection with this contest. For some time the Oxford University crew has been the champion college crew of England, and , year after year the plucky Cambridge crew has entered the contest only to be defeated. In this country the Harvard crew has held a similar position, almost every year triumphing over Yale at the Worcester races. Such being the case it is scarcely to be wondered at that, in this age of Champions, a race between the two victorious colleges should have been proposed, but there was one great difficulty besides' the distance to be over come, and that was the total difference in styles, the Englishmen rowing with cox swains and the Americans without. Nearly eighteen months ago the contro versy on this point threiitened to frustrate completely the proposition, but the Amer- icans were so desirous of measuring oars and testing muscles with the vaunted islanders that they yielded this point, and - when they began to yield they seemed to have no definite idea as to when they ought to stop• They have gone three thousand miles away from home, they have not been al lowed to choose upon any particular Eng lish water, but were forced to accept that course which, in all England, is the best known to English oarsmen. As soon as their arrived and long before they had re coVered from the prostrating effects of their voyage they were urged to appoint a day upon which the race would posi. tivelyllke place, no matter whether the weather should be bright or rainy and foggy, such as Englishmen only can de light in. All these points the Americans hate yielded in their anxiety to have a race, but if, under so many disadvan tages and surrounded by so many novel tiek, they should win, j ast so much more glorious will be the victory and so much more ignominious the defeat of their hospitable but very ungenerous opponents. The Americans took a boat over with them which at first they considered unfit for the Englsh waters, and which was unmercifully ridiculed by the English press: After testing one or two English boats, they have at length decided to row the American boat in the race, so, as they I - have adhered to their style of rowing, steadily refusing English instruction, we may believe that, barring the coxswain, contest will be really international, pitting the American boys and the Amer.- ican system against those of England. Many of the British noblemen and gen. try have been behaving so disgracefallY recently that we might be pardoned if we doubt that fairness will be shown to the strangers to-day, but our honest opinion is that the whole affair will be managed by honorable men in an honorable man ner. If it is not, ours will not be the disgrace, though we might be disappointed at the result. The idea of friendly international con tests is, we think, a new one—at least we do not remember to have heard that the youths of Egypt ever met those of Assy ria in any but mortal combat. The pu pils of the Grecian philosophers were not in the habit of pulling races with the young disciples of Zoroaster, nor did the edticatedyoung Carthagenians ever, to our knowledge, meet in friendly contest, with the scholar-manned triremes of Rome. Evert the Chinese do not claim the honor of originating this practice, and we think we can clainkit as a product of the Nine teenth Century, unless we might have to except the tournaments of the middle ages, which were, however, mere person al combats between cosmopolitits. Of all the contests for "championship," which have • crowded the past decade . this one most thorough:3r claims our sym pathy and demands our interest. Here is no giant rowdy endeavoring with his fists to beat an infamous renown from the head of an Englishman. No "little engine," whose inability to keep parallel with his oponent was proverbial, but we have instead a set of plucky, wiry young men; educated and thoroughly American, and as such we wish them glory and tri umph` a safe voyage home, and sin cerely Wpe they may not bo spoiled after they get here.. TEE EQUAL RIGHTS OF LABOR. The National Labor. Congress, lately sitting at Philadelphia, pronounced its judgment very clearly on one of the dead issues of the Democracy. All dis tinctions of race or color were completely Aisowned. Colored delegates participated in= the proceedings, and took a leadiag part, on the floor and in the Committees. No discrimination is' recognized in the platform of principles finally enunciated. Nothing is expressly said about the suf. frage; but what was said was broad enough to cover that part of the ground. Says the N. Y Times: • . x The Democratic opposition to negro enfranchisement rests upon the alleged unfitness of the \ colored ;maple for the highest duties of citizenship, and upon some supposed antagonism of interest and feeling On both pain a the trades' delegates betwie t n t white and black la bor. have advanced tot e ground held by the Republican party. For, having accorded to colored delegates the right to discuss and' to assist in deter !fling rwropositions c l i which are o ff ered as h e, d basis of legisla on, there can be fro this quarter no further objection to colored suffrano. The race which Is qualified to take an active part in a Laborngress at Phila delphia cannot be deni d the privilege it of voting for represent& vas to sit in the larger Uongresa at Washington.

In accordance with the Act of Assembly authorizing the Auditor and Treasurer of State to compound with such counties as were delinquent for the assessed State taxes of 1866, '67 and '6B, that composi tion was duly made last year. Of these counties, Allegheny was one. Her as certained tax under this compromise was, for the present year, $18,890.18. This sum was carried into our county dupli cate in February last, - as required by law. And it has been duly collected and paid ; i3 0 ' er. So far, well! . The public have very lately been ad v ed that an additional assessment has been made by the State Revenue Board, Upon personal pioperty, in this county for the current year, to the amount of about $29,000. Upon this, one city journal remarking that "on what 1 these figures are predicated, no in formation is afforded," proceedi to warn the, tax-payed • that a sharp increaise in the State taxation is in store for them. The figures, the complaint. of a lack of information, and the warning from that journal are forthwith copied by another partizan newspaper, with the ad dition of its, usual invidious reflections upon Republican management of the pub lic finances. A very little familiarity with • the laws of the Commonwealth would have en lightened either of these unfriendly prints, with the information showing ex actly "on what these figures were predi cated." . _ . .. Under the Act of Assembly of April, 1844, a Board of Revenue Commission ers sits at Harrisburg every three years, for equalizing the amounts of- taxes in the different counties of the Common wealth. That Board met this year. Its duties were altogether independent of any special, action which had been taken, as above stated4.to compound for certain delinquent taxes. The Board pro ceeded, as the ' law requires,.., to "adjust and equalize the valuations of the several counties." It was found that Allegheny, Schuylkill and a number ofother counties were valued very much too low. For example, this county had reported a valuation. only about double that of the small agricultural county of Beaver and very decidedly below the re turns from Berke and other counties, which are certainly not as wealthy! as Allegheny. The Board of qualization, doing their sworn duty, and acting upon the information before the \ , advanced .the Allegheny valuation of personal priperty to about $12,000,000. That of Lancaster - .county is $9,006,000. The Board went through the State, county by county, raising some valuations, diminishing others and leaving still more unchanged. Its fiatires were returned to the State ,;. Trelisurer, and: by hint to the County Commissioners, after the duplicates were sera out in February. The' 29,000 for which Allegheny is athlition4ly liable is the proper tax upon her eqiitilized and increased valuation pursr ant to the law of 1844. That law has been in operation for twenty-five years, and - no less than eight Boards of Equalization have sat un der its provisions. Thy preizient action needs the sanction of no additional legislation. Allegheny has simply been called upon to bear her just share of the burdens of the Commonvrealth, to which end her plainly insufficient valuations have been fairly equalized, up to what they should be as compared with thoof other coun ties. Her citizens are both able and will ing to pay their fair proportion of the public expenses, and ask no unfair ad vantage over the other counties of the Commonwealth. . This added assessment of $29,000 is not likely to be collected and paid over until next year. But, whether paid then or now, the fact that it stands as a legal claim upon the tax -payers of Allegheny, does not warrant any misunderstanding of , the proper operations of a law which has been the settled policy of the State for twentylive . years, or 'any partizan mis representation of those officials who have been doing only their sworn and regular duty. , The facts do warrant anotho con clusion—which is this: if the Assessors of Allegheny county are hereafter careful not to undervalue the personal wealth of our people, there will be no legal occasion in the future for the,correction of a mar& fist injustice toward other counties of the Commonwealth. ' , The Lake Shore Railway consolidation. The Cleveland Herald says: It is now reported that the late consolidation be tween the Lake Shore lino and the Wabash line is really in the interest of the Erie line, the great rival of the New York Central. The Buffalo Advertiser says that the last consolidation was brought about by the Erie interests; that bp such arrangement the Erie line pro poses to lay a third rail from Buffalo to New York, to correspond with the gauge of the Lake Shore line; that thQ Erie in terest agrees not to extend the broad gauge beyond Cleveland, abandoning all broad gauge projects west of Cleveland. In consideration therefor the Lake Shore line are to maintain strict neutrality at Bullalo between the New York Central and the Erie, and the Erie manatterp agree to deliver and receive at'Buffalb seventy-five per cent. f through freight and twenty-five pert. at Cleveland. Whether this last tiratigement is by and with the consent of Vanderbilt does not appear on the suriace. There have been some features lately that look SS if Van derbilt has been the controlling spirit in the Lake Shore consolidation. if he has Veen left Cut of the reckoning, it is prob. able beitlll ske some new move.

TUE PARK Any one who will take a drive out the Perrysville plank road will see how much a driving park is wanted by our people. I am told from seventy-five to a him• dred buggies and carriages go out that road every afternoon. A few evenings ago I met twenty-seven, in half an hour's drive, coming in three miles ; as a great manygo out Butchers' Run, I must have missed Anita a number. Had we a park, I think it would iloe safe to say three hundred carriages and buggies would-be in it every-41a. The difficulty we have in selecting a place is the strong *mire of individuals in getting it as near ma possible their ow home. Now, a City Park is 'not to be ade for 'r the people of Allegheny nor for he l o i ple of Post Liberty, yet the real ents of this latter place think it very un easona ble that any one should object to he pur chase of the Milking' estate. If we get a park let it be for the benefit of as many as possible, and let it , be gotten at the least possible expense that will accomplish the object. I have a thought of my own on this subject which I will express; if any one has a better suggestion, I am willing to yield. Ist. I deem it all important that we get access to the park by some good driye, by which we can avoid the cobble:Ones. To accomplish this, I propose the selec tion of the farm back a of Oakland, with ac cess on Forbes street. on Nicholson pavement of about two miles. The entrance to the park can be made, on a street just back of Charles Clarke, Esq., where about twenty or thirty acres of ground might be purchased of the woodland,. occupied by soldiers daring the war. ' ) to a street The road can be run along that now gives access to the 'ravine and passes down by Van Voorhis' Oakland race track. Entering this ravine, you can go down to near the Monongahela ravine. Then turn to the left and the ravine will take ' you out in the direc tion of IVilkinsbUrg. This ravine could be followed in such a way as to make the drive almost level. The ravine is wide enough to 'hake in it a road fifty to one hundred feet, or even more; the sides of the hills cov ered with beautiful trees, so tha without any planting we could at one make a Parkmore beautiful than any 1 Fel place can be made in years. The w/tter of the little run could be thrown into one or more lakes, and with the expense of but making a summer road, costing but fifty or sixty thousand dollars, we could have a Park more beautiful than in one square location that would cost half a million. I would not ask that the width of this Park should be over two hundred yards; indeed it•would be only a strip of five to eight miles long. It should not cost any for the elevation of the property through which it would pass would be three times the value of the ground taken. It would pass through six or seven thousand acres of giound; let this gro,und be assessed ten per cent. and it will gtve six or seven hundred dollars. If any lone will but drive over this ground they will at once see how well it is fitted for the purpose. If the owners of this ground de mand a.large price, let them put on their own valueation; the advance on thereat of the around will correspond and their own price can be afforded. I have no property on this side of the river, but if the city will but come to the Allegheny side with a pdrk and select a ravine where I have property, I will not only give 10 per cent. of the land, but I will give 25 feet and feel that I will be profited, for I know the land will be doubled in value. The thirty acres I , would suggest buy ing near Oakland should be laid out for children's play ground, where children could be conveniently sent out by the Oakland cars. i • B. Latter-Day Democracy In Massachusetts. I We quote a few paragraphs from, the speech of Mr. ApAms, when accepting the pemocratic nomination for•GoYernor, on the 24th : . I t hink that the defeat which we suffer ed i the election last, fall substantially settled the two questions of reconstruction and negro suffrage. Much as we I dislike that settlement—and no one dislikes it more thoroughly ,than I do—ther l e is no way short of revolution by whichwe can avoid it or overturn it; by which Ise can help accepting it whether we like itor not. It is settled for the next four years at least; and probably (looking to the Constitution of the United States Senate; which every man should bear in mind as the practical and actual Government of the country) it seems to me impossible that we can ob tain any change for the next ten years at least. During that time this absurd policy of unrestricted, unqualified negro suffrage at the South will have to be theroughly tried. Even when its failure is siscertain ed —even then; I think it probable that in Massachusetts the moderate men will not favor any very extended disqualification. I believe that by that time the white men of the South will have done—and they are doing today—just what I urge you to do to day. They are accepting the situa tion, taking the problem with all the in evitable absurdities attending it, and they are bending it to their own uses, as I would have the 'Democratic party bend the situation to their uses. [Cheers.] But whether that Itssio or not, it seems to me that the ame forthat debate is past. Last Fall it was proper "'engage in it, and it was the duty of eve man to urge that that terrible crime shoul of ,be in. dieted upon us. But as recon ktruction has been forced upon uti—as it as—it i \ seems to me that We should take it. We should say it is inevitable. We will bolt' the matter in the face, and the problen( now for us la, "things actually stand- as things are today, (not as we would have theni,) and what does the public welfare demiind?" , To act otherwise would be to be as foolish as would be a general who should cannonade an empty wood with the enemy firing away at his 'unprotected roar. Let such strategists waste their ammunition on the empty woods and on the debris of the battle field. [Applause.l Tun Cathedral of Cologne is rapidly progressing.

George William Curtis thinks that al: though the Democratic party is no longer formidable as a party of principles, yet as an organized conspiracy against the purity of the ballot‘box it is still much to be feared. It is a fact to be gratefully remem bered by tax-payers. that under the ad ministration of Guy. Geary, not only has the State debt been reduced nearly five millions of dollars, but the tax upon real estate has been entirely abolished. 'With Grant in the Presidential chair and Geary reelected Governor, both the National and the State debt will no doubt continue to diminish, as it has done, and the time will soon arrive when a still lurther re daction of taxation will be realised. All that is wanted to effect this mostdesirable end, la the election to the 'Legislature dig men who canoe relied upon . to protect the Treasury instead of joining in dishon est schemes to plunder it. - When the unterrilled Democracy were returning from Harrisburg to Philadel phia, after they had nominated 'Asa Packer for Governor, murderous assault was made by a gang of them upon a gen tleman connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad. They-forced themselves into a car in which were ladies; knocked him down, and would have killed him out right had not a commanding voice arisen above the noise of the rolling wheels of the cars, and wild yells of the ruffians: " What yer ' bout ther? Stop that? Don't yer know that Packer's only nominqted! He's not' tested yet. Yer haint forgot Jerry Eaton, have yer? Geary's Gov'ner yet, and will hang every one of yell Wait till Packer's 'lected, and then you can pitch in!" The movement for removing. Belmont from the Democratic National Committee, and putting Tweed in his place, appears popular with the _Democracy 'Ol New York, and is said to be favorably received elsewhere. Tile Ezial Avitor. Recent letters from California convey the cheering information that the "Avi tor," the flying ship, which was to make the air passage from San Francisco to New York in a week or less, is not a complete failure, though it has the seri ous objection to success, that the model now exhibited will not lift and carry more than eighty pounds weight. It is pro. posed, however, to build anew "Avitor" one hundred and fifty feet long and forty feet wide, which, theoretically, ought to carry eight thousand pounds, and, with favorable winds, to attain a speed of ten or twelve miles an hour. As this is only a very good stage-coach rate, it becomes a question as to the uthity of the "Av!- tor," even if it is .a succese. Theoreti cally, too, the new machine is to be safe from storms, for it would only float in the wildest hurricane, even 'if it was driven at the rate of one hundred miles an hour, just as a boat floats with the tide or with the current of a river. The security from all danger, the projectors say, is that "the aerial ship is wholly in the air." The same thing has been said of certain castles in Spain.—New York Post. Presentation of a Cane to the Poet Wilmer. In spite of the assertions that Barbara Frietchie was a myth there is the most positive proof to the contrary, and that her flag waved defiance all day to the rebels in Frederick; and it is said that this was by no means the limit of the old lady's courage; for she did not hesi tate to drive the gray coats, by a sum mary and vigorous use of her cane, from the piazza when they came there, using at the same time, language quite expressive of her appreciation of their real charac ter. The house in which the old lady lived has recently been pulled down, as e l we have already tated, but the citizens of the town have procured from the tim bers a solid oak ne for presentation to , 'John G. Whittier as a memento of the heroine whose valor he has celebrated in that beautiful poein, The cane is plain, and entirely without ornament, but quite prized by Mr. Wrttier, to whom it will be transmitted by Dr. Louis H.

About two o'clock this morning. Eddie Clark, aged thirteen years, residing at the corner of Second avenue and Mar ket street, jumped from a third story window, to the sidewalk, and received injuries whicn will probably prove fatal. It appears that . he is in the habit of walking int his sleep and at the time stated got up out of bed in which he and an older brother were sleeping and started toward the window. In getting out of bed Ire awoke his brother, who, seeing him in the act of climbing out of the window; ran and caught him, when . Eddie turned and told him to let go or he would kill' hlm. The brother held him and called for help, when his uncle, who was sleeping in an adjoining room, ran to see what was wrong and instead of catching Eddie, who was partly out of the window and struggling to gee himself from the grasp 4f his brother, caught the brother and ptilled him back thus breaking his hold on Eddie who f 11 to the sidewalk. He was immediat ly taken into the house and two physicia a sent for. On examination it was fox d that no bones were broken and he had received no serious external injurry, but congestion of the brain set in almost Ina mediately from which it is feared he will not recover.

He had a ticket for Wash ington, D. C. The watch is now) in the hands of Chief Hague. Petroleum Prizes. In the earlier days of the petroleum mania nothing wass more cemmon than to hear of fortunate borers, who, in endeavoring to strike oil, went through successive strata of the beat Orange coun ty butter, pure bear grease, adrariantuie candle stock, wanting only the wicks, and at last, instead of reaching petro leum, ended in a subterranean luck of the finest olive oil. The latest luck of this sort has happened in Louisiana. A. petraleum 'company, which has been bor ing since April, 1866, has at last struck, not oil, but, at the depth of four hundred and forty-five feet, a bed of sulphur, said to be two hundred and five feet thick, of which one hundred and five feet are the purest crystalized sulphur ever discov ered. A reported analysis by a compe tent chemist gives ninety-eight and twen ty-five one hundredths of pure sulphur. THE schooner Congress picked up, last week, a dead fin-back whale off Cape Elizabeth, and next day the whale was towed inside the breakwater in Portland Harbor. It is about sixty-five feet long and will yield thirty or forty barrels of oil, worth $1,300. Thea whale was un doubtedly killed by a sword fish, the ab domen being pierced in a number of places by the weapon of that beligerant little fish. DR. KEYSER'S BOWEL CURE DB.
