NEW Your, has ratified the XVth
Amendment, but her Democratic Gov
ernor, Hoffman, in disregard of his ob
yious duty, has omitted to certify that
action in. the proper form to the State
Department. His partisanship will be
remedied by the intervention of the Leg.
islative officers, who will transmit the
certificate of ratification to Washington.
Stung declines the. American proposal
to guarantee the bonds for the purchase
of Cuba. She also declines to. recognize
our mediation in her Cuban difficulties.
Such are the latest rumors from over the
Atlantic, and only one of•thent--the lat
ter—is likely to be entirely correct. We
have no doubt a friendly mediaticin Ikea
been proposed by our Government, and
that it is not acceptable to the Regency.
"But it is asking us to believe too much, to
credit the absurd story that this Adminis•
tration has been so reckless of the &Ilan
cial credit of the nation, or so- oblivious
to all the prudential considerations which
are_forced upon us by an immense pub
lic debt, as to commit ,itself, directly or
indirectly, to a proposition to assume an
additional fifty millions of liability upon
any foreign accoont, no matter , how se
ductlyiinight be the promise of its issue.

kindlier missionary work among the mil
lions of our newly enfranchised citizens.
THE ELECTION .
The Park question will be submitted to
the voters of this city at the bpecial elec
tion to be held to-day. It is to be hoped
that there will be a large vote out,' and
that a fair, full _and satisfactory expres
sion of public opinion will be obtained, as
the subject is one in which every citizen
Is &reedy. interested. The election will
be held under the regular law and at the
customary time and places. Let no one
entitled to a vote neglect to discharge his
duty, and afterwards be found among
those finding fault with the result.
THE MEETING ON THURSDAY.
The hearers of Senator Mowrox's ad
dress, which will be delivered at the City
Rail, on Thursday evening next, will
never regret time lost. -We are told,,
now and then, of a few excellent citi
zens, here and there, who "are tired of
politics," and prupose to rest themselves
this year, keeping wholly aloof from the
excitements of the canvass, perhaps even
from the polls. They can see no occasion
for the least anxiety about tlie issue of the
coming election, in a State which was last
year handsomely Republican and "must
be so now." Perhaps there are others,
Sgain, who fancy that the present is a
afe and convenient season for indulging
heir peculiar notions upon side•issues,
:inco the main principles of the Republi
n policy are no longer in jeopardy
om Democratic hostility. It is possible

citizens, wh9 fail to appreciate how
neh Republicinism, in the State and
ational Administrations, has really
11. ne in the redemption of its electioneer.
'lug pledges to the people. e cannot
promise that Senator MORTON will agree
with such of our careless or discontented
friends es we have here alluded to, but
we do feel willing to engage that it will
do none of them any harm to hear his
address.
As for the masses of our party, we.
know that they intend to make a- good
old-fashioned turn-out on Thursday,
packing the City Hall from one end to
the other, and extending the old-fashion
ed Pittsburgh welcome to this distin
guished and powerful advocate of sound
political opinions. As, a popular speaker,
Senator MORTON stands among the fore
most of American orators, while, as a
shrewd politician, it is he who has, more
than once..o late years, first touched the
truehley-note ol the campaign.
Let us again, tbew.fore, urge the at
tendance at the meeting of every; good
citizen who would not afterwards regret
his opportunity needlessly Idst:
NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
The tragedy 'of the brig Somers—in
which Lieut. Slidell Mackenzie tried a
junior officer at the drumhead, and sent
him up swinging to the yard-arm, hung
none the less as a mutineer and pirate that
he was also the son of an American Cabi
net Minister—has, after twenty-seven
years, found even more than its parallel
within the wcioden walls of another of
our men-of-war. A brief telegram an
nounced yesterday morning the discovery
of a desperate plot among the crew of
the frigate Sabine, now at sea as a 'prac
tice ship for this year's graduating class
of midshipmen, to blow up the vessel,
involving all on beard in a common de
struction. The revelation was followed
with a court.of inquiry, and the summary
execution of seven of the convicted con
spirators.
Midshipman Spencer, of the Somers,
was hung for the highest crime , known
to naval.law—a plot with a few of the
crew to take possession of the brig and
turn her into a pirate. With him, two
others of the crew were also executed, their
bales swinging together over the shrouds,
all distinction of official rank being proper.
ly obliterated in their common guilt. The
trial and punishment were strictly in ac
cordance with the Articles of War gov
ening our public ships, but the event
created, nevertheless; a profound sensa
tion when it became
_known within the
United States.. The distinguished par
entage of the leading criminal, the moral
courage and stern obedience to the re
quirements of duty which were exhibited
by Lieut. Mackenzie, and the startling
atrocity of th plot which the proof re
vealed,,awake ed an intensely interested
and bitter dis i cussion by the American
public. Its kesult was to sustain that
officer, relieving him completely from any
imputations upon either his discretion or
his kind treatment of the officers and crew
under his command. _
The present case, it Is to be hoped, will
equally bear the examination and criti
cism of the Arderican people. The mag.
nitude of ,the"offense—contemplating as
it did the wholesale murder of three hun
dred nsen, nearly one-half of them officers
in the service, and one-fourth of them,'
the graduating class of midshipmen, be
ing infant, the flower and hope of the pro
fession=is_attested by the enormity of the
penalty.' The seven mutineers, whose
bodies swung from the yards of the Sa
bine in the same hour, were mute but
aWfully impressive witnesses to a tragedy
the ;whole of which we do not yet know.

of the Cervices demanded their instant ex
ecution. We hope that this is all.
The statements have been multiplied,.
of late, that our naval service has, been
and is 'systematically dishonored by the
tyrannical harshness, the unofficer-like
'cruelty of the commanders to their subor
dinates. The Pawnee and the- Nlpsic are,
two ships wnich have just come into port,
and are scarcely fastened to their moor
ings before the air has begun to fill 'with
rumors of the most shocking barbarities
perpetrated by quarter-deck despot4m
upon the seamen. Investigation has
been freely demanded. but, if made,
its results are hidden from the
public eye, except that so, much of the
truth transpires as goes tar to confirm
the odious accusations. Now, we will
not deny that here is revealed the faults
of a system. Naval discipline must be
arbitrary, but it is for all that capable of
the grossest abuse by an incompetent
commander. The - dark stories which
have floated lately through the press, and
which this sad event upon the decks of
the Sabine will be certain to revive, with
more or less of substance at their base, de
mend a searching and unsparing exam-,
ination lithe highest quarter. If the De
partment fails to satisfy the public sense of
justice, Congress should take the matter
up, for the good of the service and for the
honor of the national name. Whether
this Sabine tragedy had its first cause in
the illegal and cruel oppressions of the
officers in command, or whether it he
only the just punishment of an unpro
voked outbreak of wickedness in the
forecastle, it is due to all the men on
board that ship, to the young officers who
there read their first awful lesson of profes
sional experience, to the American Navy
and to the American people, that a thor
ough enquiry into the facts should be fol
lowed with the proper remedies for all
existing deficiencies or abuses in the ser
vice. The old flag, either by sea or by
land, should not be suffered_ to shield op
pression, or to rob the humble 4 manhood
of its rights. ,
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad Company's miners resumed
work in part to day, on the same wages
as have bean paid by the Pennsylvania
Coal Company to their miners, and the
remainder of their men . will go to work
on Monday. A few days must elapse
before fall operations will be attained.
As I write, droves of mules, which haVe
been out to pasture for months, are pas
sing through the streets, on the way to
the blacksmith shops, to be shod, and they
are welcomed with smiling countenances
by all classes of citizens.
The miners of the Delaware and Hud
son Canal Company will hold a meeting
at Carbondale to-night, and the impres
sion is general and confident that they
will go to work on Monday, on the same
conditions.
The terms of the Pennsylvania Coal
Company thus adopted are 81,31 for each
mine car of coal, through September, the
car to contain one and a half tons. This
increased contents of the car makes a va•
riation of the statements heretofore pub
lished. Bat these rates are forty-seven
per cent. higher than were paid last
Spring. The companies and the miners
are alike bound to give one month's no
tice, if they intend not to abide by these
rates: so that operations are pretty certain
to continue to the end of October.
I think I see indications that the great
coal companies of thili county will not
put down wages for some months to come,
at least. They are evidently incensed at
the part taken by the individual operators
of Lehigh and Schuylkill counties, early
in the season, in bringing on the strike,
and afterwards in, continuing it. Having
shorter lines over which to reach the sea
board at New York and further east, they
can put coal on the market at those points
cheaper than is possible, without loss,
over the lines running through the Le
high and Schuylkill, and the appearances
incline me to the opinion that they mean
to use their advantage as a punishment to
their competitors. High wages to miners
and low prices for coal will enable them
to drive the Lehigh and Sehuylkill men
to the wall. The retribution is deserved,
and likely to come. _
The Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern will resume its sales of coal at public
auction early next month. Probably,
however, the New York newspapers will
continue to be sufficiently stupid to per.
calve in that resumption of auction sales
the most conclusive evidence of "combi
nation" or "monopoly." The newspa.
pen of that city, have unaccountable
spectacles, through which to examine all
matters in which the interests of 'Penn
sylvania are involved. - • ,
As for the miners, they have not suf
fered by the strike. The supply of coal
put on the market, so far, this year, is as
large as last year. This ImPlies that most
of the Luzeme miners have been em
ployed in Lehigh and Schuylkilli at ad
vanced rates. The rest of -them have
been employed in building railroads, es
pecially the one to run from Carbondale,
up the Lackawanna to the water-shed,
and thence down the Starucca to the Sus
quehanna at Lanesboro, and thence up
the Susquehanna, intersecting the Albany
and Binghamton road at or near Ninevab..
These miners have been subjected to in.
convenience and cost in being. irom their
homes at work; but, on the Whole,. they
have made 'ea much as usual.
Nevertheless, heavy losses, have been

SCRANTON, August 28, 1869
business has followed in Luzerne, and all
along certain lines thence - to New York.
The railroad bands of the Delaware,.
Lackawanna and Western Railroads have
nearly all been idle, or idle to such a
degree as to spoil entirely their summer's
work. The same is true of the railroad
hands of the Delaware and Hudson Canal
Company, = Then the boatmen on the
canal of the latter Company have had
their year's work spoiled. When spring
opened the Company had, say 800,000
tons stacked at Honesdale, that quantity
having been brought over during
. the
winter by rail, and deposited at the head
of the canal. This quantity the Com
pany has sent forward, furnishing about
half employment to the boatmen. Many
men have, also, been idle at the manu
facturing and repair shops of the compa
nies. . The wages which these men
would have earned had the season, been
as common, have not flowed into the
channels of circulation, and hence the
distress. True, as has already been ob
served, the mines and transportation
lines of Luzerne and Schuylkill have
been pushed, and there have been real
ized unprecedented wages there, but the
operatives have • made little or nothing
after all. The miners have absorbed the
increased prices in increased wages, so
that the firms that accepted the basis were
constrained to recede from it.
Nor is this the whole case. The man
ufacturers of iron, all through the regions
in which anthracite coal is used, have
been cruelly stuck. They entered into
contracts in_the spring for iron, based on
the then cost of coal..and have encountered
serious losses. - No .possible way of es
cape was open to them. They all feel
that their business rests upon an exceed
ingly precarious basis, so long as the coal
market is not regulated by the natural
law of supply and demand, but by the
artificial rule of strikes to enhance prices.
These manufacturers, in common with
the manufacturers of all other kindaof
goods, feel that this condition of affairs
cannot and ought not to last.
It is doubtless true that the coal strike
has created an intense indignation against
Pennsylvania and her peculiar interests.
The fre9pade,organs of 'New York have
besnboth ignoraut and malicious in their
misrepresentations of the essential facts.
But, then it mist confessed that the ig
norance of the facts involved evinced by
the organs of protection in that city has
been about equally prejudicial. That a
movement will be made, soon after the
assembling of Congress, to reduce impost
duties, with a view to knocking down
prices, is clear enough. But the rate of
profits in most Mica of manufactured
goods is now so small that diminished
prices must inevitably* result either in
lessened wages or total suspension of
operations. What this implies the work
men understand as well as employers;
and this is the problem which both these
classes are lively speedily to be called .
upon to confront.
Not much stir is visible, in this section,
on either side, in politics. Mr. Packer's
business operations extend into this val
ley, but he is not popular either with his
own men or those employed by other
companies or firms. The Democratic
papers here are republishing some kindly _
remarks made editorially in the Gamma.
of Mr. Tacker personally, suppressing, as
was natural, the sharp criticisms upon his
utter lack of capacity for the Governor
ship: _ A good many people hero think
the GAZETTE, Influenced by personal ac
quaintance, was somewhat too charitable,
and set an example of magnanimity, as is
its habit, which its opponents are careful"
never to imitate. But, be this remem
bered, that a journal that always carps
and cavils, in its judgments 'of oppo
nents, and is, never generous, certainly
fails to win confidence or inspire respect.
Over in the northein tier of counties,
the Republicans have commenced hold
ing-mass. meetings, and will render a
good account of themselves. •
In Susquehanna county it 'vita pro
posed to send Mr. Grow to the Legisia
ture,, but he declined, preferring. to re
main in private , life. •
When at Northumberland, on the way
hitherj found the Democratic Senatorial
conference in session. A fierce opposi
tion was .manifested to' Mr. Buckalew.
It is becoming fatal to a man's poPularity
to have brains and ,substantial acquire
ments. This IS not the fault of politicians,
as some foolishly aver; but one of the re
sults of republican government. Mon
archs select the ablest subjects as their
helpers. Under popular government the
average men are necessarily selected.
The masses ordinarily take the man who
strikes their level nearest. The fact is
not encouraging; but so it is. -F. B. P.

THE PARK QUESTION.
EDITORS GAZETTE: As a matter lof
grave importance to the citizens of Pitts
burgh of The present, as well as to those
countless people who are to follow after
us, the citizens should to-day act with
wisdom in deciding the important ques
tion of "Park or no Park." It has been
truthfully observed that no community
in the world need more a health giving
and life invigorating place. of resort, a
God's green acre, a tree and public
breathing spot, than the rapidly driven
and overworked mechanics, artizans,
manufacturers, merchants and clerks ;who
go to make up our population, and who
are compelled year in and year out to
sweat and toil in the sulphurous atmos
phere of the city. We need a park; it is
a thing of necessity that must come
sooner or later, and why not now? That
is a blind and narrow policy which
dictates a folding of arms and
a criminal apathy on the subject now
when we have within our gralp a golden
opportunity for securing, free of all cost,
a magnificentsite for the creation of a
public park. The gentlemen Iwho have
in behalf of the people worked diligent
ly to procure a park, have matured ar
rangements whereby, if consent is not
withheld today by the voters, the city
will be placed in possession of a magni
ficent site for a park containing from
three to five hundred acres of ground of
immense value, without incurring a dol
lar of additional municipal debt! Would'
it not b 3 suicidal to refuse with our votes
such a gift? Should we not have confi
dence in the members - of the Commission
whb promise that much, as they are all
gentlemen of large estates, honest in
their purposes and earnest in the matter?
They look on the park project as one of
self interest to property holders, as in the
near future public grounds must and will
come, and, perhaps at a time when mil
lions of dollars will have to be paid for
them out of taxes collected for the pur
pose.
Allegheny City, younger than our own,
is now showing a most excellent example
and her citizens are proud of the noble
work in which she is engaged, in beauti
fying and adorning her public grounds.
Why should they across the water be
more enterprising than ourselves? Why
should we halt before such glorious op
portunities for procuring a park, in face
of the fact that all the leading cities of the
country have long since arrived at the
conclusion that such a place is indispen
sable to the health and welfare of the
people, and positively essential to public
morals?
There are a few tax-payers who have
taken great trouble to poison the minds
of the people against the park by vague
hints as to costs for improvements when
the grounds are secured, but they care
fully conceal the fact that the great en
hancement to follow to the_ property
within a mile on all sides of the proposed
park and the consequent increased asses
meat on valuation, will add to the treas
ury annually more than can be possibly
expended in adornment. Another objec
tion lathe proposed location being-Soo far
from the Court House, but no inlllitation
is given out that a passenger railway af
fording cheap trips will strike the park
as soon as it is opened thus placing it as
near the city as any can desire.
If merchants, manufacturers and the
working classes have any local pride,
have any desire to establish in our city a
place of interest to strangers, have any
public spirit they will vote for a park to
day. X
Seam for Deaf and Dumb.
A school for deaf and dumb children
was opened on Monday, in room No. 6 of
Duquesne (First ward) school building—
an announcement we make with more
than ordinary pleasure, knowing the
want of such an institution is felt to a
considerable extent in thilk locality. The
Central Board of Education, we are
pleased to learn, will afford substantial
aid to this school, the opening of which
is attributable to the efforts of a few phil
anthropic citizens, who have already es- -
tablished a Sunday school of like
character in the old Sixth church,
at which some forty scholars are_
in regular attendance. Deaf and
dumb children from districts near the
city will be received at the rate of twenty
dollars a year, to be paid either by the
parents or out of funds at the disposal of
the local , boards of directors, and persons
knowing of such unfortunates living in
ignorance, either through lack of means
or indifference of parente or guardians,
should interest themselves in securing
their attendance, if practicable, at this
school just opened in the First ward. Ap
plication can be made through the Cen
tral Board of Education.
