are crowding for violent measures; mod

- _
THE position which we have taken in
the affair o the Cuban ship Hornet, is'also
supported by the New York Times of the
ith inst. We quote:
The Hornet in either a Peruvian pri
vateer, sailing from. and armed, equipped
and manned in our ports, or she is a vs
sel without a ftag, bound on a hostile
errand against a Power at peace with the
United States. In the former case, she
must be condemned as a violator of our
Neutrality acts; in the latter, as a pirate.
Wass the American end of the French
telegraphic cable was about to be landed
on our coast, it was objected that its pro
prietors held the Imperial concession of a
monopoly on the French side, and that
we should properly require, as a condi
tion of their reception here, the abroga
tion of that exclusive franchise in favor of
American enterprise at any future day.
Without prejudice to this claim, the ques
tion was' lett in abeyance, the French
company stipulating to abide by, the Con
gressional decision. We now hear that
an American company, since organ
ised to lay down another cable, has been
denied a franchise on the French coast,
for the reason that the existing concession
was an absolute exclusion of such compe
tition. This fact will be laid before Con
gress, when onr own National interests
not fail to secure a reasonable ad

who own the cable now operating.

Tun highest tide ever known on the
coast of Nova, Scotia was reported on the
7th. ,The amount of property destroyed
thereby was simply incalculable. If the
.same tidal wave shall be heard of as con
tinuing Southward along the American
coast, the event tOtiuldistrfilingly confirm
the remarkable prediction made more than
a month since by Lieut. Stiscliy, R. N.
who thus wrote to an English journal:
At 7 A. sr. on October 8, the moon will
held the part of the or bit which is near
est the earth. Her attraction will,' there
fore, be at its maximum force. At noon, e
on the same day, thq moon will be on tb
earth's equator—a Vircurnstance which
never occurs withoutmarked atmospher
ic disturbance—and' at 2 M. on the
es
same day lin drw fro e. arth's
centre would cut t h eun add th the e moon
in the same arc of right ascension; the
moon's attraction and the sun's attrac
tion will therefore be actually in the
same direction,. In other, words, the new
moon will be on the earth's equator when
in perigee, and nothing inore threatening,
can, I say, occur without miracle. The
earth, it is true, will not be in perihelion
by some 18 or 17 se ands, chronometer. .
Tne consequence of this,will be one of the
highest tides ever known.

a view to preparing an elaborate illustra

a great number of places made meixoriable

and conferring with civil and military

TREI PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
The Cinqnnati Enquirer, a leading op.
position jonrnal of Ohio, insists that "the
paramount issue" now before the people,
"is the national debt, and the form of its
payment," and that the verdict of the
Ohio election :will be "recognized as the
settlement of a national question." This
holds equally true to as the election in our
own Comimonwealth. Upon this, as
upon all other national issues, Mr. Pen
dleton is the real representative of tlaa.op
position in both States; Mr. Packer is
simply of no account whatever. The
latter NVEL4 I never a leader of his party, and
is not now, while the Ohio repudiator
exercises a controlling influence in the
Democratic councils everywhere. The
once peculiar doginas of the Ohio candi
date have become the head of the corner
in the schemes of Democratic finance.
He proposes to pay the public debt by
knocking out the foundations of public
credit, on which it rests. He has not the
courage o occupy openly the Democratic
position, which has the support, not only
of Golla ay and Andrew Johnson, but
of the pa ty generally in the States south
of the 0 io river, but he seeks the same
end, by, indirection, destroying the
value ot the debt , in the hands of the
bondholders, instead of repudiating it
outfight. 'Either, policy aims at the same
result. -
This issue is not to be evaded at the
polls on Tuesday, nor is it to be defeated
except by a square and full expression of
the honest purposes of the people. Elect
Asa Packer and George H. Pendleton, as
the Governors of these two great States,
next Tuesday, and every opposition Jour
nal in the Republic will, and with reason,
&dare the popular judgment to be in
favor of whatsoever method —Pendleton's
or any other —which shall most speedily
and effectively abate the volume of the
public obligations. We have fair notice
of their purposes. This, says the Ohio
Paper which we have quoted, "ls the par
am oast Issue—the debt we owe and how
it shall be paid." , ,
'
The masses orthepeciple may not be
bond-holders,—but they will never support
the flagrantly dishonest proposition of
the rebel crowd Wbo,•beaten in the field,{
are now assailing the Treasury and clam.i
orons for the repudiation of the ellipses
of their defeat. Tbe masses will vote
next Tuesdayand they will vote right.,
Bat there is aimall cities of citizens who
are bond-holders almost to a man, and
who are habitually careless of their elec•
torsi duties.> They're our. etapat•home
Ilepublicankand as ad& responsible for
every defeat , the party has encountered.
They should; remembernow that their
personal interests, ai well as higher p?-
11tical considerations, require that Tues
day's poll, should record every vote in
1 behalf of 'the-unabated public faith.
ZE'TTE : SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9,
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
In view of the intense interest felt in
the Convocatioirof Presbyterians in this
city, for several days past, which closed
its exercises yesterday, we have surrend•
ered our apace , without stint. The im
pressions milli upon the minds of the rote
ligious part of otir community will n
soon be forgotten; and all who attended
the delihentiont of the Saud obtained
some,ldea of , the grandeur and sublimity
of the Ilifslen work ; , der,

Ina it fs not surprising that
so much interest is aroused in every com
munity where the annual meetings are
held, from the fact that it 'develops the
practical working of its missionary sys
tem in a way -that takes hold upon the
popular Mind, and creates an enthusiasm
and interest in its operations, that is not
secured, in mere. office work by general
officers.
Among the important things done at
the recent Universalist Convention, at
Buffalo, to commemorate the centenial
celebration next year, was the race* of
two hundred thousand dollars, to be call.
ed the Murray Centenary Fund, for mis
sionary purposes and church extension,
and that in addition, debts be paid and
church property improved and educe
tional.institutions endowed, so that an
aggregate of not less than a million of
dollars shall be the offerings of the year.
Dr. L. 11. Tyng, of New York, in a
letter.on the subject of revision of the
Prayer Book, thinks that revision must
.either be limited to a few verbal changes
and alternate forms or else be so.compre
hensive as practically to give a new
Prayer Book.
Bishop Potter, of the New Yoak .Dio
cese, in his address to the Convention,
congratulates the Episcopal clergy on
never having preached politics; and ex
pressed a hope that some day a gord re
ligious paper might be started. Rather
strange that the Church Record, he
t
Churchman and the Episcopalian, pub=
lished in New York, are not regarded as
orthodox Episcopal papers.
The hymn, "Nearer my-God to Thee,"
sung with such feeling during the sittings
of the American Board Commissioners in
this city, according to Rev. James Fre
eman Clark,was written for an extreme rad
ical church in England, and was first in
roduced to the American public; in a
Unitarian hymn book.
A National Baptist Sunday school
Convention and Institute is to be held in
St. Louis the coming November 3rd. E.
D. Jones, Big., formerly of this city, is
Chairman of the Local Committee.
Rev. S. H. Thompson, of Saltsburgh,
Pa., has received a unanimous call to the
pastorate of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church of this city, in place of Rev. A.
C. McClelland, resigned.
The Cartwright semi-centennial was an
event in Methodist circles of no ordinarY
character. The office of presiding elder
is rarely held over twenty years, but to
occupy the position fifty years is honor
unequalled . and without a precedent.
The old veteran is only eighty-sin years
old, and has been a minister for sixty-five
years. His,wife is still living, after a
rough experience during sixty years of a
traveling preacher's life. It is not sur-
prising that Governors, Senators, Bishops
and other dignitaries should send letters
of congratulation to this old honored Iran
later. No wonder the hero of the occa
sion is said to be one of the four famous
Peters—Peter the Great, Peter the Her
mit, Peter the Fisherman, and Peter the
Cartwright. We believe the worthy. Do
ctor intends to take a vacation soon over
the Pacific Railway to California. Senator
Yates, in his letter to the Committee, says,
Long :will the memory of Peter Cart
right live in the minds and hearts of men
and in the annals , of the Church and of
this eventful age, as one as the tallest
and grandest heroes and Tioneers of our
Western civilization.
The Congreyationalist represents that
the singular fact has come to light that the
Quakers at one time sung hymns, and
used notes by which they sung them.
In "Sewall's History of the Quakers,"
written and printed in the German, thia
fact Is stated. All this is expurgated in
the English editions. -
The Hon. Rufus King, formerly Presi
dent of the school Board, in his speech
at Pike's Music Hall, Cincinnati, affirmed
that there was something back of the
movement to expel the Bible from the
public schools. The Bible once out. the
expurgation of the moral lessons of the
textbooks would follow, the revision of
the hymns and tunes in the singing-books,
and a variety .of other things.
'ihe annual session of the Erie Annual
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church'has just been held at Franklin,
Pa. , This body orministera number con
siderably over two hundred, and is one
of the foremost conferences Of the Church.

The re-union of the Old and New
School Presbyterian Churches to be con
sumated in this city next week. has al.
ready had a forerunner in Cincinnati.
The organs of the respective bodies in
that city have consolidated and are now
published as the Herald and Presbyter,
in quarto form.
The Evangelical ,Lutheran Synod of,
Eastern Pennsylvania. closed its twenty.'
eighth annual session - at Lebanon, - Pa.,

MINOR TOPICS
WE have heard numbers of people re
cently expressing their delight at the re
turn of cold weather and the prospective
delights of the winter. The fires which
our much decried soft coal make are so
_genial, pleasant and cheerful that we
welcome them heartily on their return.
We welcome, too, the warm look which is
given to our streets by the rich and heavy
winter clothing which is to be seen on
every aide. After ; the reign of mous de
kaines and percales, sables, velvets and
heavy cloths fairly seem to gloy with
the winter's cheer. But •there is a por
tion of oar population who never have
warm clothing, rich feasts or piled up
fires; to theie, ths. coming winter prom
ises nothing but !misery and woe. We
have'every reason to expect a severs sea
son; but even if prove to be milder ,
than winter was ever known to be before,
there will be hundreds, perhaps thou
sands, in these cities, who will want for
bread, fuel and clothing. Now is the
time to organize a regular and thorough
system of relief. In Philadelphia, there
are numerous soup houses, which are
thronged all through the winter; bread
and coal are distributed, and though some -
of the unworthy doubtless profit there 7
by, much good is done. Such establish
ments are needed here. Of old clothes,
—quite good enough to keep the frost out
of many poor bones,now filling the closets
and wardrobes of these towns, utterly
forgotten oy their Bretowners—thr might
be found enoug to satisfy a he de
mands of an organized local charity for
distribution. These suggestions are for
hints to the humane.
OF ALL the modern writers of fiction,
there is probably not one who evinces
more genius, orlwhose works so , redound
with beauty, as the great Danish author,
Bans Christian Anderson. We have
read almost everything he has written,
with unmarred pleasure, and have long
wondered that no English or American
edition of his complete works was to be I
had. Now we learn that a New YOrk
publishing house intends to supply this
want, and has already issued one or two
volumes of the great poet's works. We
know of no writings which require a more
expert translator than these; but if the
new edition is. even passably well ren
dered into English, Anderson will soon
number hosts of Americans among the
great army of his lovers and readers.

auce yesterday—The sweepstakes.
The annual exhibitions under the aus
pices of the State and County Agricultu
ral Associations, -alters the farmer, the
merchant, the manufacturer and me
chanic are, brought together in cloae
communion to counsel with each other,
and derive mutual advantages from the
contact, have, since the close of the war,
awakened much more interest than maiest
rk,
e d them even in the palm
days of peace) The return of
this feeling of interest on , the
part of the people in such occasions, is
tae best evidence in the world of an im
proved and healthier state of the mind,
the happiness of citizens and the general
Prosperity of the land. The .-war
made havoc with such expositions,
and - those _ who had mistaken the
temper of the people, when the
agricultural _field was almost deserted
for the one of battle, and endeavored to
hold the customary county and State
fairs, they found no encouragement, and
the
with depleted treasury, abandoned
exhibitions until such time as a That
e
responsive spirit should per., de.
day of jubilee i these e xposit ai , and it is
gladdening that one of the
farm and garden, the works op and the
studio are attracting interest, and that
they are destined to be better patronized
and moregenerously sustained in the
future thus securing them as permanent
institutions among those of the laud.
We hope that the local Agricultural So
ciety of thisicounty will take fr m
esh cour
age and enable our own people to ani
fest the change of temperament so ob
servable in other communittes.
Yesterday it was our pleasure to be in
attendance at the annual fair of the
Union Agricultnril Society of Washing
ton county, held in the beautiful grounds
of the As.s/iciation in the picturesque
and charming little village of Bur
he
gttstown. The fullest arrangements
ad been made , to ensure the success
of.the fair and the result in every point
of view was exceedingly gratitying. 1
The various departments might have
been much more attractive and the en-
tries more numerous, but there was - 1
enough to be seen comfortably without , 1
wearying one's self; and after all, It is the
people decked and adorned in their best
II

of ,Burgettstown, making it assume a me

on the Panhandle railroad. carrying hun

taken out from Pittsburgh. Altogether,
at the fair during the day, nearly fifteen

of the fair and could not be taaen out of

two young men of this city was nicely
conducted and seemed to greatly please
those outside the ring. This contest ended
the fair, which, as we have before taken
occasion to say, was a success in every
particular, and reflected much credit on
all those associated with its management.

An officer reported last evening at the
Mayor's office, that Thomas Longbrani
who it will be remembered was seriously
and it was thought fatally wounded in
an affray in a saloon in Penn street,
Thursday morning, had died at half -past
eight o'clock, wherenvon an Information

was made charging Hoffman, who i
alleged cut Longbran with murder, - and
a commitment was lodged against him.
Oa visiting the residence of the injured
man at a late hour last night, we learned
that he was still living but there are no
hopes of his recovery.
Objections Urged.
-14.1 A. Evans alleges that John Harkins
and James !Amain threatened yesterday
to punch his bead and blacken his eye.
He objected—the objections taking the
-form of an information for assault and
battery, before Alderman Strain, upon
which warrants - for the arrest of the
would-be punchers were issued.
THOU BRINGEST ME LIFE— -
LUNG - WORT ,
One of the truest and most suggestive ideas
can be obtained front the caption at the bead
of this art cle; for of all diseases which impair
human health, and shorten human life, none are
more prevalent than those which affect the lungs
and pulmonar;' tissues. Whether we regard lung
diseases in the light of a merely aUght cough,
which is but the Ore-runner of a mote serious
malady. or as a deep lesion corroding and dis
solving the pulmonary structure, it is always
pregnant with evil and foreboding of disaster.
In no class of maladies should the physician or
the friends and family of the patient be more
seriously forewarned than in those of the langs,
for it . is in them that early and efficient 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 medicine •
of the greatest value in all these conditions. An
alterative, a tonic. a nutrient and resolvent, _
succoring nature and sustaining the recupera.

ings, in harmony with the regular functions, cut
be readily observed by the use of one or two bot
tles: it will soon break up the chain of morbid
sympathies that disturb the harmonious work
ings of the animal economy. The harrassing
cough, the painful respiration, the sputum
streaked with blood. will,soun give nlace to the
nornisd and proper workings of health and vigor.
An aggregated experience of over thirty years
has enabled Dr. Keyser, in the compounding of
his LUNG CURS, to give new hone to thecon
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 tendencies, - ,
unless cured by some appropriate remedy. DR.
KEY SEIVS LUNG CURE is eo thorough and ef
ficient, that any one who has ever used it, will
never be without it in the house. It wlll often
cure when everything else fails, and 'in simple
cases will cure oftentimes in a few days.
The attention of patients, as well as medical
men, is respectfully 'invited to this new and
valuable addition to the pharniacy of the eonn-
