THE CABLE reports the Emperor NA. ?CLEM; as talking most sensibly to Gen. Puna as to what Spain,ought to do in re. lation to Cuba. The reputed reply Of rnms, that the Spanish people are so in ' fatuated about the island that they will not li'sten to reason is highly probable. `dear governments are strong enough successfully to resist popular passions or prejudices. Meanwhile thepnited States has no need to hurry, excep4 in the inter ests of common humanity. IT was a most,,unfortunate political'di lemma for bir. PESDLETON that left him no other alternative than to offer himself as a sacrifice for the Ohio Democracy. His. prospects were not good from the beginning, and each returning day finds him drifting farther away from the office. Hie popularity inside arid outside his own State is waning, and , when defeat comes "Young Greenbacks" will see his star ris ing no more, and history will record that in trying to bold together the fragments of a decaying political party he was himself caught and crashed in the ruins. Tint Ramer Tratainu.cautstrry at the Asondtge Colliery has called forth the generous sympathy of the philan thropic throughout the entire country, and substantial aid has already poured in to the relief of the poor and distressed widows and orphans left by the accident to the usually cold charity of the world. ToAay, at the,ldayor's office. our citizens will meet together for the purpose of con tributing their share to the fund, and we ' trust that there will be a large attendance, and, that our good people will not be found backward in discharging a duty they *We their stflecing fellow•creatures who have been *specially cluwtened and *filleted by &Wise Providence. TILE PEOPLE of Spain, almost without exception, are indignant at the attitude of the United Stetes on the Cuban ques tion. They are so unreasonable as to talk wildly of war, as the only adequate measure of redress. All this is natural enough. Spain is weak and proud; and all the more sensitive and blustering be. cause of her weakness. But there is no probability that she will actually resort to war, and if she should, no special danger would be apprehended here. 'But let the citizens of the United States reflect. When we were in the agonies of the rebellion, strong as we felt oar States to be, we were sensitive to a,degree we can now hardly realize. Besides it is manifest to all intelligent men, both in Europe and America, that Spain is des tined to lose Cuba, and the United States to gain it. Much or little time may elapse before these results shall be evolved, but they are certain. FRom ALL parts of thei A State comes the cheering news that the Republicans have becoxne thoroughly aroused and' are patiently awaiting opportunity to once more meet and vanquish the opposition. Local. dissensions to distract our party now sxist nowhere, an immunity not en joyell by the DemocracY. In Western Pennsylvania an average vote may be ex pected out, and Republican majorities will be obtained closely approximating those awarded in the Presidential elec tion. In the interior, northern and east ern parts of the State, the worrs going on, and no danger need be entertained that these sections will fall short of their accustomed figures. Altogether the out look is good in Pennsylvania, and the question is now not whether GEARY and WILLIAMS shall be elected, but bow much of a majority will they have? The larg er the better it will -be, and it behooves all good Republicans' to work diligently and earnestly the few remaining days left to swell the figures so that the golden tidings of another Gettysburg victory in Pennsylvania may thrill with joy the loyal nation. • Wunal we deprecate the great ma. jority of personal attacks made on the private and public character of the Demo- cratic candidate for Governor, still we think there are, several charges which have been put in a variety of shapes against him which, if true, must seriously damage him in the estimation of all goo. and true men. It is openly charged, and without con tradiction, that he used money to secure his nomination, and pledrd to supply the sum necessary to buy his way into the highest office of the Commonwealth. It is openly charged, and without con tradiction, that his sympathies were ever with the armed rebels who aimed to des troy the Union .of States to which our people are devotedly attached. It is charged that to evade the payment of his just share of taxation to the au thorized agents of the National Govern ment, he changed his residence into a dis trict where he was better enabled to con ' ceal his vast wealth and Income and thus impose his own part of the burden oc less oppulent but more conscientious neigh bors. There are other charges made against Mr. PACKER which are equally as dam aging as those quoted, and yet no satis factory evidence has been adduced to show their falsity. It is sheer presump tion for our Democratic friends to ask honest and intelligent citizens to cast their votes in his favor in the face of the record he presents. DEALING WITH SANE AS INSANE. Mr. FROTHINCIAM, a wealthy New York merchant, was in June last com mitted to the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asy lum, which is a branch of the New York City Hospital. He was recently die. charged under the operation of a writ of habeas corpus. The manner of his dis charge proves ,nothing as to the real merits of the cape, for most Judges are just now insane on the subject of in sanity, releasing every patient who has not perpetrated a murder or other horrible crime within two days of the date of his appeal to the Court. It may be, however ), that this gentleman Was correct in his conception of his own case; which would only prove that men of fortune are sometimes in serious peril from 'their relit tions. In this view, the argument is just as conclusive against having family con nections as against having Lunatic Asylums. But sane men of another sort get treated as lunatics, and happily for themselves. A young man recently asked his father, who itOt man of substance, to advance him money to make a start in business. The request was not complied with. Shortly after the young man put poison in the breakfast sugar-bowl of the family, and came near taking the lives of the father, mother and sisters. Had he suc ceeded, and escaped detection, he would have inherited money much more than suf ficient for the business enterprise he con templated. Instead of being handed over to the Quarter Sessions of the proper county, he was quietly slipped into the Bloomingdale Asylum, where he remains : No one Will contend that the case of this young man is a hard one. It is but fair to add that the members of Mr. FIinIIINOHAM'S family protest, and with apparent sincerity, that they have had no sinister designs upon his estate, and that he was Insane when subjected to treatment. Some of the Judges, in this and other States, are holding that no person shall be confined In a Lunatic Asylum, with. PITTSBURGH GAZETTE s MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1869. out his or her consent, unless liberty is a source of present danger to others. If such rulings shall generally prevail, it is folly to urge the adoption of additional precautions is committing to Asylums. In that case, . the only true remedy will be found in giving up the Asylums alto gether, and the sooner the better. The lunatics who consent to their own ,confinement are not in suffi cient . numbers to justify the main tenance of establishments for their us e If the fact that a lunatic is dangerous can 'only be determined by the actual com mission of murder, or some other crime of violence, within a day or two before application shall be made for comlnit ment, it would be salutary for all danger erous lunatics to have reason enough left to vent the,ir violence on the Judges. ITDOLPHE WOLFE, who died on Staten Island on the 14th inst., is spoken of by the New York papers as once well known to the public by his extensive advertise ments, and also as having died very rich. We have never known an extensive, per sistent and'judicious advertiser who failed to get rich. The experience of Mr. Wolfe has found its counterpart in nearly every case where his practice has been pursued. We do no not claim that every man who advertises freely dies rich; but only that success in business rarely fails to follow the practice—but fortunes thus made, are like fortunes obtained in any other way, liable to be lost by unwise speculation. The simple fact that judicious and per sistent advertising is almost invariably rewarded by increase of business and ulti mate affluence, IS the point we present as undeniable and therefore worth knowing and trying. Those of our own patrons— who have continued longest and paid us most—bear the highest testimony to the rich resulting benefits. One of these as sures us that his annual sales have been increased three hundred thousand dollars by constant advertising; another ascribes to advertising at least $100,009 increase of his worldly wealth. We might cite numerous kindred; examples, but "a word to the wise is sufficient" MESSRS. EDITORS: When you say President Grant is the „first duly elected -- and inaugurated President who has vis ited Pittsburgh, you make a mistake. During the administration of James Mon roe that revolutionary patriot visited Pittsburgh, and for nearly a week was the guest of the late Wm. Wilkins, who then resided in a stately mansion 'near the Monongahela bridge, and which was taken down by Messrs. Lyon Shorb, to make - way for the first Monongahela House, kept by Col. James Crossan, father of the present proprietor. How is it that California, which only began in earnest :o be settled twenty years ago, now produces the keenest humorists of the land ?

Last winter one of the most noted of the reformresses regaled an audience in Chicago with a tirade against the combined press of that city, interspersed with libelous person alities concerning the editors, calculated to provoke the mirth of her hearers.

Karr's chil dren, no doubt, will remember the start ling superiority of Nlllsen'andlti, when compared with the nightingales who will be making twenty thousand trancs a night a score of years from now. It is really singular how well our song• stresses sing, considering the fact that ,they have been in a constant state of de terioration for ages. What a rousing basso King Solomon must have been, and yet If any of the audience of Debo rah and Barak could have heard him how they would have pooh-poohed his best efforts. And as this same depreci ation is noticeable in all the arts, may we not suppose that the reason the daughter of Saul despised King David in her heart when she saw him dancing and singing, was because she remember ed how much better her royal father had danced and sung? The admirers of Tazlioni and Blister sneer at Morlacchi s but how they would have been jeered by King Herod and the other witnesses of Salome's fatal pirouetting. This con stant deterioration, seems to be a well established fact and should receive the attention of some of our curious savants. PROBABLY Mrs. Grant, when she was in Pittsburgh, was not aware that she was in the imme i rlate vicinity of the graves of some of er ancestors. Proba bly but few of our citizens are aware that Mrs. Grant, on her mother's side, is descended from an , old Pittsburgh family —the Wrenshalls. But the fact is that old John Wrenshall, the maternal grand father of the wile of the great General and President, now lies buried beside his two wives in the old graveyard of the First Presbyterian Church, where the stones that are over them may still be seen. A daughter of. Mr. Wrong's% by his first wife, married Col. Dent, of St. Louis, and was the mother of Mrs. Grant.

The Iroquois on the ar PAIL [From Proof-Acests of Parkinan's new work .The DlEcovpry of the Great West." now in Preset by Little, Brown & Co.. of Boston.] I have recounted the ferocious triumphs of the Iroquois in another volume. Throughout a wide semicircle around their cantons they had made the forest a solitude—destroyed the Hurons, exter minated the Neutrals and the Eries, re duced the formidable Andantes to a help thesigcance swept the borders of St. Lawrence with fire, spread terror -and desolation among the Algonquins of Canada; and now, tired of peace, they were seeking, to borrow their own savage metaphor, new nations to devour. Yet it was not alone their . homi cidal fury that now impelled them to another war. Strange as it may seem, this war was in no small measure one of commercial advantage. They had long traded with the Dutch and English of New York, who gave them, in exchange for' their furs, the guns, -ammunition, knives, hatchets, kettles, beads and brandy which had become indispensable to them, Game was scarce in their coun try. They must seek their beaver and other skins in the vacant territories of the tribes they had destroyed, but this did not content them. The . French of Cana da were seeking to secure a monopoly of• the furs of the north and west, and, of late, the enterprises of La Salle, on the tributariesl of the Mississippi had especi ally roused the jealousy of the Iroquois, fomented, moreover, by Dutch and English traders. These crafty savages would fain reduce all these regions to subjection, and draw from thence an ex haustless supply of furs to be bartered for English goods with the traders of Albany. They turned their eyes first towards the Illinois, the most important, as well as one of the most accessible, of Western Algonquin :tribes; and among La Salle's enemies were some in whom jealousy of a hated rival could so far override all the beat interests of the col ony that they could not scruple to urge on the Iroquois to an invasion which they hoped would prove his ruin. The chiefs convened, war was declared, the war dance was danced, the war song was sung, and five hundred warriors be gan their march. In their path lay the town of the Miamas, neighbors and kin dred of the Illinois. It was always their policy to divide and conquer; and these (forest Machiavels had intrigued so wet kmong the Miamis, working craftily on heir jealousy, that they Induced them to i‘in in the invasion, though there is every reason to believe that they had marked time Infatuated allies as their next vic tim. EPISCOPAL. Catered Episcopal Church—Preliminary Meeting Yesterday. Yesterday afternoon a preliminary meeting, looking to the establishment of as Episcopal Church organization among tie colored people of our vicinity, was had in Christ Church, Union avenue, Allegheny. There was a full attend aice of colored people, together with over friends from the white population favorable to the enterprise. The exercises commenced at 4 o'clock, Then the usual evening service was onducted by the Pastor, Rev. B, F. irooko, D. D., Mr. Percival Iteckett.of rbiating as lay reader. The Bev. Dr. Brooke then stated the oiject of the meeting, and said he had ben considering the subject for some tine. When he first came to Allegheny hi was astonished to find that no organ intion for the colored people existed in tla Episcopal Church. In his own clurch there was but one colored corn trunicant, an old lady who had been atending the services for about twenty yiara.'l In conversation with-a-number o; the colored people, he discovered - ill - at -- something in this direction was needed. Ater consulting with the members of hs parish, who all seemed to favor the ilea, be had concluded to attempt simething in this direction, and fir that purpose had called the meeting. Tee duty of the Episcopal church was gain in this question, which had as it Tore been more forcibly brought .home t) them in the events of the last • few , ears which made the colored people to ;ccupy higher positions in the com nunity. • The reverend gentleman concluded by iatroducing the Hon. T. J. Bigham, who dronstly favored the enterprise and thought it - eminently practicable and praiseworthy. He had oftenhought of he duty of the church in t respect, li, tut more so since the occurrent s of the 1 hat eight years, which hall, on this con tnent, so changed the rela ions be tween the two races. Heretofore the colored people, for the most part, slaves lave beenjwithout any advantages of edu cation, or even proper religious culture. In the Providence of God, however, their embarrassments have been swept away, snd they now stand in a more favorable condition. In a few years, and probably less than two, they would be invested with the rights of dtizenship, and it was necesary that they should be • fully qualified to discharge the duties which would by this change devolve upon-them. They must be educated, for with higher priv ileges would come higher responsibili ties. Especially, should they be made acquainted with those higher and more important duties which they owed to God. All of these must be performed in a proper man -1,17, and nowhere but in the church uld they receive the proper education co fit them for a new sphere in life. In thia \ limped he considered the Episcopal church especially adapted to their needs,\ in its doctrines., liturgy • and policy, which was made ap parent in‘the fact that in the Southern states where most of the colored peeple were, the Episcopal Church was largely • predominant: \ He felt no sectarian spirit against other denominations , but spoke •from a feeling that Episcopal usages and church govorninent were admirably adapted to the wants of the colored race. A large propotion \ of the colord people were Methodists, basis this was only an off shoot of the Episcopal church, it would doubtless in a sh time g from present indications ' ort Unite with the mother church on his \continent, at least, where there Were no state eat harassments -to such a union. . The speaker dwelt at considerable \ length on the history of the Episcopal Church, and contended that as it stood in America it approached nearer than any other organ ization to the Apostolic establishMent. prisen by hoping that the enter which they:had been called to con bider would result in the establishment , of the enterprise. Mr. James H. Sewell next made a few remarks, and suggested the appointment of a committee to consider , the matter ti an report upon its feasibility at a future meeting. The suggestion was acted upon, and Messrs. Bigham and Sewell appointed on behalf of the white people, and Messrs. Palpress and Dale for the colored. - Mr. Palmas, although a Methodist, iniored the ides, and th ought it would bring a great many into the Church who now went nowhere, bileause they wet not suited in church government. He felt honored in being =chosen as one of the Committee, and would endeavor toy. investigate the matter fully. -e4C Rev. , Dr. Brooke said the Committe*; merely were to consider the feasibility:i:. of the measure, and report accordingly.c„ No one was committed to anything bye . the appointment. The reterend gentle. man invited all persons. Whether favor able or not to the enterprise, to call upon him for consultation. He wished to have it thoroughly discussed before proceed ing in the matter. The meeting adjourned with religious services, subject to the call of the Com mittee when ready to report. Pastorlal Letter, ate. To the Clergy and Congregations of the Diocese of Pittsburgh BRETHREN—In pursuance of the "Res olution" of the last General, Convention, I hereby license for use in the public worship of our Congregations in this Diocese' the "Selected Hymns from • HYmnsAncient and Modern, and Hymns for Church and Home," as printed in the book entitled "The Additional and Se- - lected Hymns," and just published by E. P:Durten It Co. This license of new hymns has been thus long delayed, in expectation of the Hymn . Book now is- sued. In compliance with the request made by other Bishops as well as by myself, the 65 "Additional Hymns" au thorized for use threeyeats ago, make the first part of this Hymn Book; so that the usual editions of the Prayer' Book, and this one volume, may furnish' al/ the Psalms and -Hymns for use in our public worship. The "Selected Hhymns" add to our previOns collections 388 new hymns-171 being taken from "Hymns Ancient and Modern," and 217 from "Hymns for Church and Home." Among these "Se lected Hymns" there are some that in crease a little our too scanty supply of hymns for the Home and Closet. This is a gain which will be, perhaps, most ap preciated where the want has been most felt—among those who cannot have many books, and who expect their Church Hymn book to meet, the needs of Home and Closet, as they see that other "Hymn Books" usually do. I heartily commend (his book for use in the Family and Pri vate Devotions of the people of ~my Diocese. I also license for use (if any Rector so prefer) in public worship, the "Hymns for Church and Home ;" and, also, "Hymns Ancient and Modern"—except ing from the latter book, the hymns as therein given and nuMbered 46, 50, 53. 96, 98, 163, 203, 206, 210, 212, 228, 248, 249, 250, 259, 268, 269. These seventeen ex cepted hymns, and any appendix be yond hymn No. 273 (having been pub lished among us since the action of the General Convention in October, 1868), are not included in this License for use in this Diocese. Praying God to give you His grace. that you may sing with the spirit gr and th a t with the understanding also. I am, dear brethren, faithfully and affectionately, your Pastor in Christ.. JOHN B.

One of the truest and - most' suggestive ideas can be obtained fro the caption at the head of this article; for of all diseases which Impair human health and shorten human life, none axe more prevalent thardthose whiCh affect the lungs and pulmonary tissues. Witt thernre regard lung diseases In the light of a merely slight cough. which is but the fore-runner of a more serious malady, or as a deep lesion corroding and die. solving the pulmonary structure, it is always Pregnant with evil and .foreboding of disaster. In lid—class-of-maladies- should-the physician or the friends and family of the patient be more seriously forewarned than in those of the lungs, for It is in them that early and einem:it treat ment is most desirable. and It is then that danger can be warded off and a cure effected. In DR. KEYSER'S LUNG CURE you have a readicine of the greatest value in all these conditions• An alterative, a tonic. a nutrient and resolvent, succoring nature and sustaining the recupera tive powers of the system; Its beautifol work ings, in harmony with the regular functions, can be readily observed by the use of one or two bot tles: it will soon break nn the chainof morbid . svmpathies that disturb the harmonious work- Inas of the animal economy. The herr:wing cough, the painful - respiration, the span* streaked with blood, will soon give place to the normal and proper workings of health and vigor. An aggregated experience of over thirty years has enabled Dr. Keyser, in the compounding of his LUNG CURL to give new hope to the con sumptive invalid and at the same time speedy relief in those now prevalent, catarrhal and throat affections, so distressing in their effects and so almost certainly fatal in their tendenclea. unless cured by some appropriate remedy. DM, KEISER:I3 LUNG CUBE is 'so thorough and ef -1 relent, that any one who has ever used it, will never be without It in the house. It will often cure when everything else fails, and in simple cases will cure oftentimes in a few days.
