TriERB is a etrong probability that Pittsburgh is going to get out of her difficulties occasioned by tbo riot with great ease. Tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company aad the city authorities agree that the loss of the company was about ,$2,300,000, and the company have gent-rou&ly offered to take $1,C00,000, cr abcut sixty-six npr cent, in cash ia settlement of j the claim. Shippers aad consigners claim their losses to have beea about $CCO,000 more, and if they make a proportionately liberal deduction tbe city can see its way out by issuing bonds for the paymeat of these claims which money mea agree to take at par. A email additioaal tax which will scarcely be felt, now that busi ness is booming, will meet tbe bjnds es they mature. News comes from Washington that Gen.

Searight lives ia Pittsburgh, and is not a rcsidcat of the district, aad why Coffroth should labor for his appointment iiistcad of for that of some good mac ia his own district is exciting commeut among his supporters at home. We hepe, however, to iyet see the nice little (scheme of this pair of political Drcmioes frustrated, and a Repub lican receive the appointment.

He proposed to atk the Court wte.her it is the duty of the "Govern- r Bad "Council, in eativaing the rcturoe "for Senator and Representatives to "the Legislature, vo allow corrections "thereiu by tbe record und-r tbe "Constitution and laws of the Sa'e," and "to what cae" Fuch corrections can extend; or, "if not their duty, "have they thea the right, or power "to aiiow f uch corrections Pt tbeir option?'' Here is the las.-- of the whole depute. Rut this quotha the Governor declines to put. Ha de clines to put aoj question eul'Staa tidlly like it. He (studiously uvoids asking, in any shape, about the right to correct returns, and C"nGMes him self, all through his twelve q-Hsti to inquiries as to the strict legal anthoritr of the canvassers U rrieit returns on account of various icfor mBlities an authority which in most of the instances cited r.ob.dy has at tempted to dispute. The difference between the two Ecbciale? can be expressed ia a few words: ?Jr. Mor rill proposed to inquire whether it was tbe privilese and duty of the Governor and Council to permit tbe correction of technical defects ia tbe returns so as to Rive effect to the con ceded result of the voting; Governor Garceion, oa the contrary, inquires whether bv a strict construction of tbe law he" has the power omitting all consideratiou of. the morel right to do juat the reverse ot this, and avail himself of tecbuicil irregulari ties to nulify tbe result of the voting.

The first to cuter was General Beale aad Sen ator Don Camoroo, followed by as sistant postmaster Gen. Tyuer and Doctor Norris, and quite a number ot persons who impressed the police with tho belief that they were mem bers cf Congress and Senators. There was a desperate crowd of reporters who were willing to cut tho throat of any moa who barred their advance to the car, but a rash police officer refused to let item in. Two reporters climbed up oa the side of the car and reported to their anxious associates below that the "old man" was taking lunch. Ia order to save the windows the police finally admit ted them through tbo door, and for about five minutes there was some lively scribbling inide the car. Gen. Grant's derby hat, the color of his cravat, the uumbir of vaiises belong ing to tho party everything was noted. Tho party noon formed ia proces sion and passed to thtir carriages on tbe sidewalk, aud wero quick y driv ea to the re.-ideuce of General B:ale, on Lafayette tnaare.

At the conclusion of tbe scrmou, Goneral Graut nceived the congratu lations of his many frieuds who were preseot, and left the church by a rear door to escape tbe crowd. "Christ, all io all," waa tbe text, by Dr. II. R. Naylor, and he laid down the lessou drawn from it in true Methodist style. The music was perfectly sublime. In the after noon bo took a drive to tbo snburbs of the city aud dined at Senator Don CemeronV, who now resides in the Saephard mansion, comer of Connecticut avenue and "K" street. On Monday morning, before the General had bis breakfast, there was at least twenty callers to pay tbeir respects to him. He received tbem, then got Lis morning meal. When he tame back to Geuerpl Bale's sit ting room there was quite a cumber of other caifers on baud. The Jus- of other cailera or. tices ot the Supre me Court, called to pay tbeir respects.

About dipMheria we have not been seriously alarmed ia this coru- muaity, aud I doa't fiad much men- tioa of it 'in the health officer's re - port, but '.bat disease has hten fear fully prevalent in other regions of the country, which has caused a grot.t deal of discussion as to its treatcjen;, and numerous prescrip tions have been given to the press ther etf. The following is one, ema na'jug from a physician in New York for tte treatment of "dipbthe revic soie-ihroat,'' which tus ben 'used with happy iuct i.i most ob stinate csr.es :" Receipt: Sulphate of quiubc, 10 grains: dilute muriatic acid, 'JO minims ; chlorate of potassium, 1 drachm mix with gum sirup sufli cient to make ia ail two ounce.i Dose, a teaspoon ful every hour. If tbe patient need stimulant, give good rye whiskey. A considerable number of cases of srr all pox are now reported here and the health officers are doing every thing in tbe way of precaution for stamping out tbe loathsome disease before it becomes epidemic. It first broko out in the cistiict jail and spread through the court-room to the dirty loafers who are always hang ing around tho prisoners wben'oa trial.

Tbe signatures are genuine beyond ques tion. The papers would seem to in dicate t hat Captain Hosack, C. S. V. paid ouch man 10 2G. Date ef pay ment November 12, 1563, aad place from which the account is rendered was Clarksburg, West Yirgir.i Ltjutenaal Cole was at that time ia command cf tho company (Captain Hue beiag ia hospital, aud we were stationed at Springfield, West Ya.

It has been many years ago since the payment was made by Captain Hosack. Thoo were times that tried men's souls. Money at that time came aud flew like the wiud. No value was put on greenbacks as we ail thought and looked upon the "shin plasters" as so much old con tioeutal scrip to be renudiated after tho war. It is for you" individually to say whether the ration money ever reached your pockets or was gobbled oa tbo road to yon after you signed the papers, For my part I try to make myself believe tbat 1 got tbe money and spent it for chiese sooner than to harbor a thought or suspicion tbat somebody stole it and applied it to a different use to what it was iateaded by the Government Tbo near adveat of the leap year teason is etirricg tbe young ladies about Washington and some old ones to, and they are going to make hay while the sunshines and have ; the prtvilig of dotag fa ISS0 just! ; about wba; tht-y plriso nilbt.ej ' sterutr sex.
