CPUES JUSTICE CUASE very pointedly
si►ys, in a recent letter ostensibly declin

that he is "not at all satisfied that, if in a
higher place, he could do any better than
those now exercising executive functions
do." This tribute to President GRANT )
and from that source, is equally unexpect
ed and complimentary,
TitS Nashville Press devotes daily
leaders to the political situation in Ten
nessee. Insisting that the recent election
resulted in a decisive acceptance_ of the
situation, with the addition of 'an unre
stricted franchise, the Preis protests
against "the strange cry from various
portions of the State," for undoing all
the ly,publicau work of the past three

With Louis Napoleon living, ithan with
the present Emperor dead. The one,
although an invalid and in retirement,

General GRANT, with his family and a
portion of his staff, will visit Pittsburgh
to-day. Arriving at the Union Depot,.
from Altoona, where the party rested last
night, at precisely one o'clock this after
noon, he will be received as the guest of
the cities, and remain here until to-morrow
morning, when the party proceeds to
Washingto? county.
The President will be received and
honored as the guest of the people whose
Chief magistrate he is. As such, no politi
cal differences will . mar the harmony of

tees are judiciously constituted, and we
are quite sure that our citizens, of what
ever political opinion, will heartily con•
cur in performing the hospitable duties of
the day, with a becoming respect for the
E i xecutive of the whole nation.
The Committees are requested to meet
at the Mayor's office at ten o'clock this
merning, to perfect the detailed arrange
meats for the day.. Each member is ur
gently requested to be punctually pres
e i nt.
In the evening, probably about 7:30,-
the President will receive his fellow cili

worth witnessing and to be remembered.
The President will have there an es

THE BEG►NNING' OF THE END
The strategy of the Phiadelphia roughs
which secured the nomination of Mr, Asa
Packer for Governor, over his distip nuish
ed and capable competitor from Western
PellßyjValia, was also successful in ac
complishing the choice of a city and coun
ty ticket tor Philadelphia, so scandalously
and irredeemably bad in every respect,
that the decent elements of the party have
absolutely revolted from its support. U l'he
better class 8f Democrats in that city were
content' with the situation, so long as the
pending contest - between the respectable
men and the blackguards of their party
was confined to general State politics.
The iron entered their souls, when the
'Dead Rabbit' mob, headed by the fellow,
MCMullin, who menaces their city with
riot and wholesale murder on the elec
tion day, took possession of the local
conventions, and forced the selection of
piccisely such a disreputable ticket as best
suited themselves. Even the Demo
cratic stomach revolted from'the dose;
protest upon protest has been uselessly
multiplied; the McMullin gang would
not relax its grasp.upon the Democratic
throat until, at last, forbearance is no
longer a virtue, and their medel set of
candidates have the option of walking
out - or being.kicked out by the indignant
decency of the party. out;
beat calm on
the ticket withdraws, and advises the
other candidates to follow his example, a
recommendation which they will find it
rodent to follow. The same rascally
ii
fluences are on band, to insist upon
nominating a ticket still more objection
able, if the old one be abandoned.
This is a beautiful state of affairs for
the Democratic party in Philadelphia,
only four weeks before the election. It
shows such an utter demoralization
among them, that, evidently, the leaders
of the party no longer retain the faintest
shadow of a hope for electing their State
ticket. 'Philadelphia lost as it already is,
and the anthracite counties lost as they
surely will be, colonization - played out,
bogus naturalizations and Snowdenizing
generally gone up in a balloon, not even
I Maluilin's premised murders will save
them and their tax-dodging millionaire .
candidate, from the worst defeat ex
pt rienced by them or their friends since !
the war of the rebellion. This business
in Philadelphia now is the beginning of a
very bad end for the Pennsylvania De
mocracy.
—Since the above was placed in type,
we learn that the candidates on the old
ticket,* the regular choice of the party in
its Conventions, - have all withdrawn
from the canvass. This is done to avert
thti dangers bf the situation fdr the party.
A new ticket has been selected. Whether_
It be of better or worse material, Rakes but,
little difference; it is sure to be dlatisteful
either to the thieves or to the holiest ele
ment of the,party, 'between whom the
feud cannot be healed.

Countless victories of peace have ex
alted the Christian world since an nun
dred years ago, and it has honored each
conqueror with an immortal fame. To
day, Civilization, all over the earth,
crowns, with grateful tributes, the memo
ry of one among the most distinguished of
all the illustrious catalogue. HUMBOLDT,
dead in the material presence, lives, On
this centennary anniversary of his birth,
in the undying annals of Science, which
shall perpetuate his name until all knowl
edge shall become extinct.
FREIDfiRICU HEINRICH ALEXANDER
von HUMBOLDT was born at Berlin, Sept.
14, 1769. At the age of ninety years, he
died in the same city, May 6,1859. Liu
cated.with special care in the natural sci
ences, in mathematics, philosophy and
politics, his first essay in authorship was
upon the Geology of the Rhine, in 1796.
His tastes led him to engage in practical
mining from 1792 to 1797. Then,
he entered upon a long career o
travel and scientific observation, in
Europe and upon the American Con
tinent, the results of which he has 1
given to the world of science in forms
which will be imperishable. Geography,
geology, chemistry, meteorology, dims
iolog,y,. botany, anatomy and zoology—
all these science have been wonderfully
enriched by contributions from the wide
experience and discriminating observa
tions of this remarkable man. Drawn
later' in life into the more pressing duties
of European statesmanship, in the great
international convulsions which at
tended the - decline and fall of the.
Ifirst French Empire, ithe diplomacy of
L the Continent recaguilzed the splendid
qualifications which science had not al
together absorbed. His last prominent !
part in politics was as an Embassador, to I
bear to Paris the Prussian recogni
tion of King Louis Phillippe. The re
maining years of his life were devoted
to the revision of his already numerous
literary Works, and to the preparation of
his "Views of Nature," and the world
renowned "Cosmos.", Dying, after twc
weeks of illness, his obsequies were cele
brated by royalty itself..
It is not Prussia, not Germany, not
Europe, which alone claims this immor
tal philosopher. An ienlightened world
possesses and revereshis memory. Amer
ica equally vindicates her share, in the
general title to a name which has contribut
ed so largely to the illustration of natural
science on this portion of the globe.
Wherever knowledge has votaries, in
every city and hamlet between the Arctic
and Antarctic Oceans, the mem
ory ck* Humboldt is here to-day grate
fully but rrournfully cherished. The
citizens of ,Allegheny county :Are not
forgetful of their part, but, themselves by
birthright of all- nationalities on the
earth, come to-day ,in a common brother
hood, to invest the living remembrance
of the greatest of cosmopolitan philoso
-fixers with the visible initgiiiit of Ameri
can citizenship.
PENDLETON AND EQUAL RIGHTS.
Occasionally, very sound ideas are ex
pressed in the Congressiona l Globe's report
of Democratic speeches, if you look care
fully for them. To illustrate this, we
annex an extract from one of the reported
speeches of an. Ohio repredentative in
1863, Hon. G. H. Pendleton. His friends
insist that this gentloman always stands
by his record: There may, therefore, be
some basis for current rumors that be
looks now with a kindly eye upon the
proposition to throw the ballot open to
all, irrespective of race or color. Mr.
Asa Packer takes so much pleasure In
concurring with his Ohio friend in every
other political question, that we must re
gret,'for the sake of Democratic harmony,
his disapproval of the doctrines of this
speech. It is plain that our coal -mining,
tax-dodging monoplist has not yet packed I
his carpet-bag for the new Democratic
departure.
When the bill was before Congress for
enlisting negroes into the army of the
United States, upon the 81st of January,
1703, in a speech reported in the Gills
gressional Globe, Mr.:Pendleton spoke as
follows:
"If these black troops are:to stand tin
an equality with the white troops on the
battlefield and at every point ot danger,
and in all the other relations of asoldier'S
life, and at every other momentthey are
to be marked by a degrading g,
minions isolation, how long will you ha
able to maintain discipline and order in
your army—l do not say coutentrue4
and zeal and alacrity—among theid
troops ? . '.
',And what do you propose to do wit t li,
)
these black soldiers after they shall h C•
returned from the battlefield? Gen e.

are found necessary in in order that- e•

"You now say to these black men,
'come to the defense of this Constitution.
Come aid us to maintain its supremacy.
Come aid us to uphold a Government
which is thus beneficent to all its children.'
Suppose your utmost hopes are realized;
suppose they come, and that by their aid
you are successful. They will comeback

banner of the Republic, battle.worn and
maimed and scarred. What will you do
with them? Will you consign them again
to political inferiority, to social isolation?
Will you again deny to them those priv

the Constitution which they have helped
you to maintain?"
MINOR TOPICS.
Tile WORLD may have degenerated
and the times become common-place, yet
the past week: has produced a pair of
heroes before whom the Knights of the
Round Table would have bowed, ac-
O h
knowledging them -as their peers at
least. When the phitic vapors were
still rolling up and destruction
from the mouth o the Avondale shaft.
and hundreds of
. women and children
weeping and waitina for the news of their
widowhood and orphanage, Charles Var
tue, of the Grand Tunnel Colliery, a
noble -looking young man, full of life
and vigor and hope, volunteered to be
the first to go down to rescue his com
radOS. Perfectly conscious of the danger,
he led the way, and so performed a deed
deserving of immortality. A few days
later, Albert G. Decker, keeper of the
draw- bridge[crosslng the Passaic river,
was about to close the draw for a coming
train, when his son fell from the bridge
into the river. On one side he saw a
train coming to certain destruction if
the draw were not closed, on the other
his boy drowning in the river! With a
more than human steadiness of purpose,
this modern Brutus sacrificed feeling to
duty, and secured the draw before he
sprang, too late, to the rescue of his son.
If any other age can produce two nobler
men, we have yet to learn their names.
TEIE DEmeN or CHANGE, which wag
invoked by Mr. Andrew Johnson, re
quires tirre before he will be laid again.
Change and re-change in ollice—change
and re change in naval nomenclature,
change, with a prospect of re-change iu
the postage stamps. Concerning the
lately adopted designs for these latter
necessities of life, we have beard not one
word of objection; everybody with whom
we have discussed the subject, seems to
think the new designs area marked im
prevenient upon the old distorted heads.
Most of our exchanges which have ex.
pressed any opinion, have also professed
to be pleased with the change. Yet, in
spite of what we believe to be a general
feeling, we see it announced that the
Pus: Office Department is about to change ,
the designs on the stamps because of the
general dissatisfaction expressed con
cerning them. Appreciating the willing
ness of the department to bow to the
wlsZiefa of the people, we think that the
cause of dissatisfaction has been misun
derstood. The designs are very satisfac
tory, but the paste is not. Moat of the
postage stamps have not enough adhe
siveness to assure that they will remain
upon the letters. Let the department
authoritatively repeat to the postage
stamps the historical remark telegraphed
to Mr. Stanton by Mr. Sumner, and we
believe the only change that, is desired
will be thus effected. They will then
stick)
"WHAT a change there is, from the
days when "little Tommy Tucker sang
for his supper," to the present time when
Nillseu reOleves $600,000 a year,
and Carlotta Patti has saved six millions
of frailes t We wonder if the most ardent
musical enthusiasts are not struck with
the idea that' these famous human
skylarks are a little overpaid ! It only
lasts for a few years, to be sure, but oven
when the novelty has wornand the
furore has subsided, a popular singer still
receives about five times as much repau
aeration as the most popular, best paid,
minister of the gospel, or the most emi.
nent statesman or official of the United
States. Which is the most important and
worth the most pay—to sing the ballads
or to make and enforce the laws? Of
course,there can be but one answer to
this qu'eatlon, but judging by appearances
it is , very inconsistent with the existing
state of things.
INDIA is emphatically a land of won-
ders, a country where Nature has lav
ished her grandest, her most valuable,
her most beautiful and her most terrible
gifts. A land from which comes the
Cashmere shawl, pepper, rhinoseeroses,
camels, indigo, opium, slik, elephants,
lions, diamonds, cocoa nuts, tigers and
other similar, products, where the moun•
taips are the highest, the forests most
dense and the insurrections the most
bloody. To all of these things another
product has now :been added. Hereto
fore the luxurious princes and merchants
have been obliged to smoke the oriental
bookik or ohibouque or else to use pipes
made and, handled by the unclean fin
gers of infidels. Now. however, meer
schaum, beautiful foam of the sea, such
as has heretofore been found in perfec
tion only within the limits of Asia Minor,
has been discovered in Hihdostan, and it
but remains for the Hindooi , to take
I advantage of another of the superlative
I gifts of Nature to their wonderful cone
® try.
IT Is stated by Hayes, the Arctic ex
plorer, that in the Arctic regions mos•
gutless are numerous and remarkably
vicious. Pleasure seekeri who swarm
to Lake Stiperiq lind that the mosqui
toes swarm there too and are even more
indtistriOns < than the far-famed , In
sited New-Terser. At first thitt seems
anomalous, arid is oartala to surprise the
neophyte, but upon ref:sea
pear that in those regions the summer is
short, but genial and warm, and these
carniverous insects, like our friends the
Copperheads, endeavor to do all the harm
they can where the Fates permit them
for a short time occasionally to obtain
positions of power.
I 2 is some time since we have had a
real President of the United States,
elected by the people, as a welcome guest
of our city. Mr. Johnson wxts here, but
he was not the President of the people's
choice, nor did hie visit to the city, judg
ing by our recollections, give unalloyed
pleasure to either the guest or his enter
tainers. Mr. Lincoln was here before he
was Inaugurated in 1861. Today, Presi
dent Grant will arrive, and will be, un
less we are misinformed, the first duly
elected and inaugurated Chief Executive
officer of the nation who ever honored
Pittsburgh with his presence. Such au
event is worthy of special note in the
History of the Iron City.
ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS may be relied
upon to depart about twice in every
three years; money is raised, vessels
equipped, and generally the expedition
is a failure. !Sometimes they succeed,
however, in getting the vessel wrecked,
half the crew killed and the rest disa
bled, and prove, perhaps, that there is a
northwest passage, which no navigator
can use, or an open air Polar Sea, which
no sail can reach. These are the start
ling successes of Arctic expeditions, and
like other startling successes, exceeding
ly rare. Are they sufficient to satisfy
people who are not enthusiasts on the
subject that such expeditions pay?
STATE POLITIC&
---
RIDGE PACKER spent the war-summers
among the rebel sympathizers in Europe
—Geary among the rebels in the South.
SINCE Mr. Packer bolted a Democratic
nomination to support a Know Nothing,
there are a good many Democrats who
don't know him.
A NEW Democratic paper has been
established at Ridgway, Elk county, in
the interest of a faction of the party in
that county known as the Ridgway rang.
t THE Mauch Chunk Gazette "has it on
the best authority that Judge Packer re
marked the other day that he believed his
chances for election poor." Packerq
opinion on Packer's chances ought to
carry weight.
.GEN.z.D. B. MCCREARY of Erie, late
Adjutant General of the State, and C. 0.
Bowman,Esq., of Corry, have been
nominatd for the Assembly by the Re
publicans of Erie county. This will
give that county an able representation
in the Legislature.
Tns Lehigh Register says: When Dr.
Cattell, the energetic President at Lafay
ette College at Easton, sought assistance
from the men of wealth of this valley to
save that venerable institution from ruin,
he appealed to Asa Packer, but got from
him no assistance. He next applied to
Mr. Arlo Pardee, of Hazleton, whose
generosity immediately responded by a
handsome endowment. The personal
pride of Asa Packer was aroused upon
this, and then he endowed Lehigh Uni
versity.
11 , 1, s confidently predicted in Carbon
county that Mr. Packer will run behind
his ticket. He is decidedly unpopular
with th 3 workingmen. He has never,
with all his wealth, done aught to allevi
ate the sufferings of the poor. Wheree he
is best known, people laugh at the aof
his being charitable. His corruption
fund, in this canvass, is to be used in buy
ing up men of supposed influence with
workingmen. The bone and sinew
should be on the look-out and distrust all
who suddenly become convinced that
Packer is a great friend to the cause of
labor.

for the future welfare of her children, by
advising•her that she was surrounded by
enemies and that a horrible death awaited
her. This Information, obtained upon
the payment of fifteen dollars, so preyed
upon her mind that a few days since she
committed harikari with a pair of scis
sors, inflicting three frightful gashes in
her abdomen.
LOUISIANA is being colonized rapidly.
The Iberia Times, of a late date, says:
"The Messrs. Van Slyke, who visited ns
last spring,_ and purchased land on the
Vermillion, below Abbeville, will soon
leave Indiana on a steamer purchased for
the purpose, and bring with them a large
number of families, who will be landed
either here or on the banks of the Ver
million. They will bring along a house
for- each family, already constructed,
which can be put together with little
trouble; also a full complement of agri
cultural implements and stocx of provis
ions to last them until they make their
own. The steamer- will afterwards be
used to navigate the bayou and carry to
market their surplus products."
CALIFORNIA CLAIMS to have, in the
Buena Vista estate, near Sonoma, the
largest vineyard in the world. Some of
the most noted vineyards in 'Europe do
not exceed twenty or thirty, or sixty or
seventy acres, The Buena Vista has 800
acres suitable to the vine, and 450 acres
actually covered now. There are on the
estate some vines planted thirty years
ago, but the bulk of them were set out
from 1854 to 1858, and additions have
been made every year since. This year
the grape crop is light. The vintage
season will begin in mid October and
continue nearly to the end 'of November,
during which time this estate will employ
about 100 men; Chinamen, of course.
California champagne is the principal
manufacture of this vineyard, and the
inventory of last November showed a
stock of 126,000 gallons of sparkling
wines, with 40,000 bottles of champagne,
; on hand at that time.
