Tar. rumor of a fortnight since that
General G. bi. Dodge would succeed Gen.
Rawlins in the War Office seems to have
Lad this foundation: That the probabil
ity of an'early vacation of the portfolio,
either by the resignation or the death of
the then Secretary, had directed the
President's attention to General Dodge,
and letters of enquiry were' probably
written, to sotind him upon the point of
acceptance. He is now conspiewously ,

The calamity at the Avondale colliery
is most shocking. At this writing, there
seems little feason to hope for the tad.
mate rescue, alive, of the two hundred
human beings who were, on Monday

and air of Heaven and immured, perhaps
speedily suffocated, hundreds of feet be.
low the earth's surface. Vigorous efforts
have been in progress, to open a com
munication with the livine or the dead, the
results of which may be ascertained before
this sheet is printed. Remembering the
almost uniform fatality which has attend
ed such disasters in coal-mining experi
ence, it is hoping against all experience,
as against all science, to, rely upon the
rescue of the prisoners alive. iVe fear
that relief will come at last only to a mul.
titnde of the dead. And at least two
other lives have been lost in efforur i far

If our fears shall prove to be well.
grounded,-this Avondale disaster will far
outrank, in Its terrible fitality, any pre
vious occurrence of the sort on this side
of the Atlantic. An explosion some years
since in the Midlothian mines, of the
Richmond (Vs.) district, destroyed a
large number of lives, but not nearly so
many as are now likely to be reported
from Avondale. In this case an immense
wooden framework, called a "breaker,"
and cciastructed for, the reduction and
screening of the huge lumps of anthracite
sent up by the miners from beloi,
a building two luildrecl feet in length and
one hundred feet high, had been placed
directly over the main shaft of the mine.
The contingency of fire, and thq,conss
guent certain confinement, and probable
destruction, of every miner under
ground, seems never to have been noticed,
or thought worthy of consideration by
the proprietors. This terrible event in
structs us for the future. Ttie

stringent safe•guards, as vtill assure, be
yond any contingency, the safety of the
main avenues to all undergrouna works.
The ratification of the XVth Constitu
tional Amendment is the necessary and
logical consummation of all the efforts
made by the 'Republican party. Lir the
preservation of the Union, on the bull of
Universal. Liberty and the Equal - Rights
of all claeses of inhabitants. is we have
on several occasions Intimated, tho pro-,
posed Amendment is in danger of defeat.
Its failure would result inevitably in the,
re-formation of, Southern political society
on an oligarchical basis,'differing in omen
tial particulars, it might be; from. that
which existed before the abrogation of
Slavery, but, on the whole, nearly as
offensive in principle and as arrogant and
domineering in practice. Stich a con•
summation would defeat, in a very large
measure, the vital ends for which the
loyal poptilation Of the country, through
a number of bloody years, made elver
dieted sacrifices.
True, Pennsylvania bas ratified the
Amendment, and itepubilcana maintain
that her action in that regard , is !nevem
ble. But, it must be remembered that
the Democrats take an entirely opposite
view of the case. They Contend that the
assent that has been given by this Com
monwealth, strictly in accordance:olth.

ANOTHER.
Major General Jot= A. Itawinrs, Sec
retail of War, who died at Washington,
on Mondaylast, was born in Illinois, Feb.
13, 1831, of parents still living. Reared
as a farmer, he began the study of the
law at Galena, in 1854, and was admitted
to the her the ensulniP year, devoting him
self to the inofeesion, and voting with the
Democratic pkrty until the outbreak of
the rebellion. When the Hull Run de
feat startled the nation', he engaged In
raising a company for service, was
commissioned on the staff of his friend,
Brig. Gen. GRANT, in September. '6l,
and has remained with him, from Belmont
to Appomatox, as Chief of the General
Staff at Washington. and finally at the
head oU the War Office. His illness was
hemorrhage of the lungs, the result of a
cold contracted in the service in 1864,
from which he had since continuously
suffered. He leaves a wife and two chil-
dren, a third, an infant but a few days
old, preceding him in death last week.
His death is a personal loss to the Pres
ident, whose confidential friend be bad
ever been, and a public loss to a people
which mourns a record already too large,
of its bravest and noblest life given that
the Republiq might live.
BURIED ALIVE.
A POINT OP DANGER.
PITTSBURGH GAZETTE ; WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBEJ .9, 1869,
monammismir
of the highest moment fot the pm/Icm*
of j ustice and the maintenance of public re
pose and order, that the Republican ascen
dancy in this State be retained unimpaired.
To allow the pending election to go by
default, or by a campaign only half con
tested, would be to entail incalculable
evils, and to render necessary a succession
of struggles to accomplish that which is
now comwatively easy.
What Is wanted of the Republiesns of
Pennsylvania is not only to make sure
that her ratification of the Amendment,
already on record, shall not be challenged,
but to so reiterate her assent at the ballot
boxes as to inspire a large degree of con
fidence and enthusiasm in other States
where elections are held later.
DO YOU 0011 1 1PREHEN D THE
PERIL!
In 1871 the; Legislature will have de
volyed upon:it the duty of apportioning
l'ennitylvanieboth for Congressional and
Legislative representation. Both of these
apportionments have not fallen on the
same year since 1801, and will not fall on
the same year again till 1941. This con
sideration is of the utmost political im
portance.
It has been demonstrated in all the re•
cent contests in this State that the Republi
cans have a handsome majority of the
votes On a fall poll, and that the Demo
crats hold a majority of the counties.
Every experienced politician compre
hends that the State can be divided into
Congressional and Legislative districts,
on purely territorial bases, and in con
formity with the letter of the Constitu
tion, while giving the minority the lar
ger part of the representation. This
would be to contemn and frustrate the
essential spirit of a democracy, which
inculcates that the majority shall rule.
Every politic= comprehends, more
over, that the State can be districted with
due reference to territorial considerations,
and yet respect the iittrinsic rights of the
majority to govern, thus complying with
the spirit as well as the letter of the Con
stitution.
That this may be done, it is indispen
sable that General GEARY be re-elected
to the governorship. With Mr. PACKER
in the Executive chamber, apportionment
bills might be coerced which would strip
the Repiihlicans of power, and hand over
the control to the Democrats, though these
should be found at every recurring elec
tion thenceforward, to be in a decided
minority on the popular vote.
We press this point. If the Republi
cans of this State do not wish to find
themselves she Lit, of power, and to have
theirmouths stopped from uttering reason
able complaints, they must demonstrate
'tit the coming election, by the re-election
of Gov . GEAR; that their array is un
broken, that they are the majority, and
hence have the natural and legal right to
govern. Nothing will satisfy the re
quirements of the present case but a
round majority, of lawful ballots. Re
publicans if you fall in this, multiplied
disasters will , be likely to come upon you.
Having the viewer, see to it that you use
it effectively.
THE CUBAN INTERFERENCE.
The terms of the existing treaty of
1795 with Spain are so peculiar that it is
conceded on all hands at Washington
that our recognition of Cuban independ
ence would lead inevitably to a war with
Spain, whose flag woild at once cover
all the pirates of the world, in Pillaging
and scattering our shipping. Is it worth
while to consider inch a trifle aa this, in
the face of the noble proposition to prove
onr national sympathies for Cuban liberty?
It is said that we have invited Spain to
arrange her Cuban imbroglio by con
ceding the independence of the island,
conditioned that note over one hundred
millions of dollars shall be paid to her for
her public property therein, this debt being
guaranteed by the American Govern
ment, and that slavery be abolished. Our
suggestion to a foreign power that it
should concede the independence of
a revolted province, is simply an impertl
nem*, and we don't believe that any inch
.proposal has been officially presented by
American diplomacy.
The stipulation for the istiolition of
slavery le commenflable, but the Spanish
Constitution, at this moment nominally in
force in all the dominions of that nation,
itself abolishes slavery, and the stipule
' tion la superfluous. .
The proposed guarantee of one hum.
Ared millions of this Cuban debt, if ac.
cepted, would result , as surely as fate, in
the ultimate addition' of that sunk to the
heavy burthen now resting upon the
American people t Do we not owe
enough already, of debt incurred in a
better cause.? Are we such earnest prop.
agandiats that we can afford to pay that
vast sum for diffusini the blessings of
liberty in neighboring lands ? -
It is fiurther repo* that Spain de
clines these propositions, insisting very
properly that the rebels: shall lay down
their arms, pledging to , them a general
amnesty, 'requiring from them payment
for all public property, l and for all alt private
property destroyed, providing for the
submissionbf the question of - dependence
or independence to a popular vote of the
islanders, and for an American guaran
tee of Cuba's proportinn of the Spanish
public debt, In case independence is 58 "
need. Than these,terms, nothing could
be more just. Yet it is said the insist-
gent agents decline to favor them.
Now,; ,observe, the predicament into
which the Administration seems to be
dritting~ 1a 1 111 . this aw*wel'd ?Mims&

by bothihis. contesting parties, upon an
agreed basii, and Involving no compro
raise of our own peace, dignity or re
sources. But this attempt is futile to ne
gotiate an impossible agreement between
two parties, one of which has the laws
of nations, the Mitire public code of
the world, upon its side, rights the
most clearly indisputable, and which,
Were Epain a first-rate power, would
never be impugned, while the other re
jects every reasonable proposal, and de-
Minds nothing less, in effect, than the
forcible intervention of a third party,
the government of a republic which has
first abolished its own institutions of hw
man slavery at a fearful cost, for the
maintenance of that slavery in an inde
pendent, Cuba:
The President and kis constitutional
advisers ought to see by this time, as
events move on, that they are in danger
of involving the Republic in serious diffi
culties, and in a still more serious and
shameful disgrace. The sooner they shall
retire from a business with which they
have no call whatever to meildleiwin
its present shape, the better for
the , country. '` lf 'politicians at the
Capital and a portion of the eastern
Republican press have become so de
moralized, by any form of underhand
pressure, or led so far astray by their
yearnings for the spread of personal and
political lioerty on the glebe, that they
' fail to comprehend or be controlled by the
plain teachings of this Cuban situation,
let us have consolation in knowing that
the American people are taking a more
practical view of the case. They.want
no intervention of any sort, as long as
African slavery exiats in Cuba: they do
not want the responsibility of directing
and enforcing its abolition there;
they - do not want any increase, preP
ent or remote, in their public debt;
they do not want a Spanish war, or any;
other war; they want to be let alone, and
to let alone every other people on the
planet. They want the Administration
to keep these just expectations in view,
and they will want Congress to enforce
them in fact.
Whatever course our Government may
ake, it will pass under review when Con•
gress meets. Let•ua hope that there will
be no mischief to be undone.

Common Pleas—Judge Stowe,
TUESDAY, September 7.—ln the habeas
corpus case of the Commonwealth ex
rel. Geo. Amberson vs. Julian Amber
son, a return was made yesterday and
the case argued by T. 4. Marshall, E.g.,
for the relator, and - Jno. M. Large, Esq.,
for the respondent. The matter in con.
troversy was the custody of a daughter
of the relator's, aged ten years, which, it
appears, was held by the respondent,
who is its grandmother, on the ground
that the father was not a proper person
to take charge of it. The Court ordered
that the child be given into the custody
of the father, its natural grutrdlau, and
that the respondent pay the costs , of the
proceeding.
Quarter Sesidons.--Judge
TUESDAY, September 7.—ln the case of
the Commonwealth vs. Thomas Elliott,
indicted for assault and battery, tried
on Monday, the jury returned a yerdict
of not guilty and directed that the proms
cutor. James Owens, pay one-half the
coat and the defendant one half.
The first case taken up was the Com
monwealth va. Barnhart Hartman, in
dictment larceoy.„The prosecutor was
one of the proprietors of the Red Lion
Hotel, and he alleges that the accused
was caught in the act of hauling away a
load of manure from the prosecutor's
stable•yard. The jury returned a verdict
of not guilty. •
Joseph Sharp, charged with abandon
ment on oath of his wife, Catharine
Sharp, was, after a hearing, ordered - to
pay the sum of $l5 ; per month to the
support of his family.- He was also herd
in the sum of 1500 bail for . the faithful
performance of the order, and in a like
sum of $5OO to keep' the peace, for a pe
riod of two years.
inutricin TREATMENT.
The next case taken up was an indict
ment against Frank Lenstetter for inhu
man treatment, fa which it was alleged
that one Frank Lenstatter had treated
his wife in a most inhuman manner, and
that he , was aided and abetted in this; conduct by hie brother, Charles
Denstetter and his wife. It appears that
the accused resides la Hampton township,
and that the wife of .'''rank loenstetter,
the accused, was blind and Infirm and
that instead of treating her as a human
being, she was placed in an old vacant
house,, whore she was kept without ant-
Anent; clothing to cover her or keep her
warm, and that the plats fin which she
was kept was, full of filth and vermin.
The parties , it appears, originally all re-'
sided in the same home. Mit after the
unfortunate
,woman - became .. blind her,
slater.hl-law would not allow her to re.
main in the house.. The. neighbors, it is
alleged,' remonstrated against such in
human conduct, but , to, no , purpose, and
finally the case was brought Wale notice
of the Directors of the Poor, who caused
her to be removed to the Pbor House.
Robert McElbenny, a neighbor, made in
formation against the parties before Jae
tics Hardy, of Hampton' township. The
evidence on the part'of the Common
wealth more than substantiated the
charges...
