SATURDAY MORNING
LrDEMOCRATIC PRIMARY iiEETINGS.—The
Democratic City Executive ComittlAe met at
o'clock on 'Friday afternoon, 16th inst., and organized
by electing John N.M'Clo , vry, President.
The Committee fixed THURSDAY next, the =d inst ,
for the holding of the primary meetings, between the
hours of four and seven o'clock, at the following place.z , :
-First Ward—Seetin House, Diamond.
Second —Duquesne Engine House.
Third —Duffy 's, Gran street
FOurth " —School House.
Fifth —School House, Pike street.
Sixth " —Henry Rea's.
%tenth --School Hortse.
Eighth " —School House.
Ninth —School House.

The Committee recommend that the voters of the
several wards select by ballot, five delegates from each
to meet in Convention, ou TUESDAY, the 27th inst., at
11 o'clock, a. st, to nominate candidates for Mayor, Con
troller and Treasurer.
Although the system of Passenger Rail
ways,is but just being initiated among us, it
is nevertheless nbvious
_that they are des
tined to create a new phase in our social re
lations. The opening for the investment of
capital which the building of these roads af
fords is so much added to the business of
our city and its real wealth. New employ
ments are opened. Conductors, drivers and
others, have good positions and fair wages,
with reasonable requirements upon their in
dustry.
inil
The convenience of these cars to•the Citi
zens cannot be over estimated. The effect
upon the health and morals of the city by
seattering the population is certain to be
beneficial to all classes. Those in m&lerate
circumstances will no longer be compelled
torent houses In narrow courts and alleys,
with yards two feet square, or no yards at all.,
Crowded masses of humanity need no long
er suffer amid high brick walls. People can
keep themselves and their children out of
the temptation and proximity of vice. In
the country, people must hunt after occa
sions for. wickedness, in the city they are
thrust upon them. Privacy, quiet, pure air
and a half acre of ground are now brought
within the reach of every one. Under the
influence of the Passenger Railway system,
citizens of all grades are beginning to scatter,
Chosen - spots in the country are eagerly
sought after. Real estate rust rise. The
rural districts will be sold by the foot. The
old city will become more and more simply
a place to do business—a place to stay and
not a place to live—and ground will rise in
proportion to its business value. Thus all
classes and all interests will be benefitted.
While - we cannot doubt the justice of the
sentence of the law which yesterday meted
out its severest penalty upon John E. Cook,
for his complicity in the Harper's Ferry in
surrection, we cannot but regret that a
young man of such education, and culture,
and character, before the fiend of fanaticism
took possession of hina, should have been
led on to the commission of so terrible a
crime as that of which he has been convict
ed. He is represented to have been a young
man of a nervous, impressible, generous,
daring nature,—the last who would have
concocted an insurrection,yet among the first
who, from his Susceptibility to -appeals of
even false philanthropy, would be like to
engage in a proceeding like that at Efarpe?s
Ferry It is easy to understand how a
man of his impressible temperament could
be made ;at once the instrument and vic
tim of a man possessing the iron will, tire
less energy and all-pervading fanaticism
which -characterized Brown. He suffered
lilmself to be degraded Alto the felon's rank,
and became a traitor anda murderer under
a criminal delusion, which Misled his frank
and generous nature He listened to the
voice of a false philanthropy, and it has
brought him to an untimely and disgraceful
end.
=a
In his death, the innocent hare suffered
equally with the guilty. His friends have
mourned over him without hope.
The political teachings which lead to
such results must be bad, or a wise Provi
deuce' would have provided some Way of
escape for this misguided, unfortunate
criminal young man. - .

NEWS FROM NEBRASKA...GOV.
BLACK'S MF'4SAGE.
We make the following extract from, a
letter which we find in the lastmumber of
the St' Louis Republiwn. We have riot yet
seen Gov. Black's - Message but the following
abstract of it will prove interesting to his
friends in this county
OMAHA, Nebraska, December 7, 1859.
The Territorial Legislature convened at this
place yesterday, and organised by the election
of Dr. A. Donelan, of Plattsmouth, President
of the Council; SI M. - rurran, Chief Clerk;
E. A. Allen, Assistant Clerk, J. F. Coffman,
Sergeant-at-Arms, and R. R. Kirkpatrick,
Door Keeper; Hon. Silas. A. Strickland, of
Bellevue, speaker of the'House; T. W. Moore,
Chief Clerk; G. W. Rust, Assistant Clerk ; J.
W. Coleman, Sergeant-at-Arms, and N. J.
Sharp, Door Keeper.
The political complexion of the Legislature
is, in the Council, 10 Democrats, 3 Republicans;
ih the House, 24 Democrats, 15 Republicans.
The officers of both Houses are all Democrats.
In the Democratic caucuses, there was' quite a
strife between what is here as " Government
official," or "Administraition " influence, and
the friends or followers of Douglas. The latter
succeeded very handsomely.
To-day, Gov. Black delivered his annual
message before a joint session of the Legisla
ture., It is excellent in every particular. The
Governor has spent much time in getting it
up, intending it, - very evidently, as much for
foreign, as home consumption. He , is very
lengthy and detailed in favor of a State organ
, izaton. This question, now the prominent one
before the people of the Territory, is ably ar
gued in the message—the ground all gone over.
He takes the ground that there is no specific
population requisite to gain admission into the
Union as a State; is down on the 93,000 idea,
and thinks if there is any given population de
manded anywhere, before seeking admission,
it is the 30,000 minimum fixed or named in the
Constitution. The massage favors an Usury
Law; recommends a reduction of the fees of
public officers, thinks the passage of a Home.
stead Law'but an act of justice, and that it
would meet with favor among the people. It
is very pointed in favor of making real estate
the chief basis of revenue, and exempting im
provements. The idea is to make the non-resi
dent land holder contribute equally with the
resident, in keeping up financial affairs. Tho
Governor, at some length, and rather sharply,
'pitches in" to serious errors which have been
instilled into the public mind of the country
by "books of history," and "official reports to
the Government," in regard to the soil. climate
and resources of the Territory, and which are
highly injurious to our present and future pros
pects. In doing this, he sets forth quite advan
tageously the agi icultural condition and pros
pects of Nebraska.

MR. EDITOR—AIIow me to suggest to the

California Gold."
From the Is i r of January to the 20th of No.
vembor the amount of geld exported from
California was $42,424,622, which is an in.
crease of $630,0&3 over the corresponding pe
riod of last year.
The Mysterious Homicide at Norfolk.
The Norfolk Argus, after referring to
the examination by the physicians of the
body of 'Virginias Leonard, and the verdict of
the Coroner's jury, says:
There was a double barreled gun in the room
in which the body was found, one barrel of
which had just been discharged, and the shot
and paper wadding found in the wound, corre
sponded with those which were in the loaded
barrel. This -gun, however, was found in its
place in a corner of the room, which is the only
tact to be reconciled with the verdict.
As there was a box in the room, near the
gun, it is possible the child, standing there
on, took hold of the gun, accidentally dis
charged it as it stood on its breech, and as the
contents passed through its vitals, convulsively
pushed it again toils place, an instant before
he fell, a lifeless corpse, as be was found, upon
the floor. This is, however, mere conjecture.
and &difficulty muststill remain in the way of
an entirely satisfactory explanation of the
true cause of this most melancholy casualty.
The prevailing opinion is, that the gun was
accidentally discharged by a little colored boy
with -whom.the deceased had boon seen a short
time before the occurrence, and who was not
aware that the weapon was loaded. Although
the jury were not warranted in finding a ver
dict in accordance with this view of tho case,
there is but little doubt of its correctness, and
the replacing of the gun in the corner is thus
reasonably accounted for.
[From the Phuladelphti Pres, ]
Pittsburgh Repuillatioh.
We have lately receivedinformation, from a
reliable source in Pittsburgh, to this effect':
No one here (Pittsburg) who has examined
the subject believes otherwise than that the
county will be compelled to pay tha interest en
its railroad indebtodneEs."
We hail this evidence of a returning sense
of justice with profound thankfulness. Still
it is in, strange contrast with the views that
were openly expressed. before our Supreme
Court and the United States Circuit Court had
affirmed the validity of the bonds_ Now, that
they are decided by both courts to be legal and
valid in ell respects, no citizen, who values his
character, will presume to dispute the obliga
tion- to provide for the interest. It would,
however, have .been more honorable to bare
evinced a disposition to acknowledge the in
debtedness end ask for indulgenee, than to
deny the debt altogether and chuckle over the
loss that would accrue to the innocent and con -
!Wing bondholder.
Of course, these remarks do not apply to that
respectable minority who have all along resist
ed the crime of repudiation, but oven they
have exhibited no particular energy. Perhaps
it is Raking too much of weak human nature,
to make any' effort to impose a tax, however
imperative trpon good faith, or laudable the
object.
Among the hardy and industrious people of
Allegheny county, there must be a strong
bOdy of honest men who have no sympathy
with the advocates of repudiation, and who
ought not to remain idle and suffer their cred
itat home and abroad to be utterly ruined.
The protest of many of the wealthiest and
most esteemed citizens of Alleghoey county,
which appeared in May last, representing as
it did, great iron and manufacturing firms, as
well as two, trainees of capital, was very well
as far as . lt, went. But this should, ere this,
have
.been. followed up by somo other steps.
No provision has, as yet, Leen made for the in
terest.. gvery artifice that legal cunning and
sharp pract 4 ce can Suggest is still resorted to
6fr, these who represent the officers of the
'county. This is shameful, and evinces a de
termined effort to resist the courts of law to
the utmost: But the end is close at hand.—
When the commissioners are in direct con
tempt, they will boa' imprisoned, and their
places supplied by other officers who will con•
form to the decree of the court. Surely those
citizens who signed this protest, and who, no
doubt, can: find many who sympathize with
them. will not permit this further stain to be'
inflicted on • :the reputation of the county.
Obedience tothe laws is the foundation of our
safety—a principle in which every, man, wo
man Rod child is directly and deeply inter
ested. •
Neswapap s ers and Conginini
One-half the speeches us Congress appear to
be nothing more than replies to newspaper
comments. Mr. Hickman read a speech of this
character on Mmlay, in reply to one news
paper, and Mr. Baskin entertained the abuse
for.an hour or two on the influence of anoth
er journal upon the affairs of government.
Since Congress have come to regard - the news
papers as" the ruling power in the country,
there is very little use in representatives ma
king such long discussions on the floor of the
Congressional flail. The newspapers can do
it much better and not consume so much time.
besides there is no danger of a personal colli
sion among the disputants, for their personal
ities are not near so offensive as they are upon
the floor of Congress. The representatives, by
leaving the discussion to the newspsera, will
save their tempera and not ex - pole:J.4lr weak

Thew YORK CRNTRA.L.—Thet annual meet-
ing of the stockholders of this road was hold
at Albany, on Wednesday.: An effort had'
been made to make a change in the directory,
by substituting some leading Republicans for
Democratic members—as the present Republi
can Legislature of Now York are . opposed to
tailroads, and favorable to canals, and it was
rhought the company would be in a bettor condi
tion to go before that body than if their Board
wore a less Dertiocratic complexion. The old
Board was, however, unanimously re-elected.
The annual report shows that the earnings of
the road for the year ending September 30th,
1869, were as follows
Passenger receipts
Freight receipts
Stall receipts..
Miscellaneous.
Total ZA84,3
The transportation expenses during the same
period were $3,349,429, or 54.03 per cent. of
the gross earnings. Construction expenses
during the year, $108,196; interest, sinking
funds and rents, $1,146,818 ; dividends, 1,679,-
782.
The earnings for the year wore $1,701,606,-
32, a fraction over 7 per cent. on the capi
'tal stock. The company have reduced their
stock $182,400, and their funded debt $68,-
863, since last year.
The following is a comparitivo statement
of transportation expenses in 1858 and 1850.

Lumber Bustuesa at IV Illlamaport
A letter writer from Williamsport, says:
The lumber business in this place is one of
great extent, there being within a circuit of
two miles of the town some twenty saw mills
and about three hundred in the entire comity
Ono mill in the town has 1410 saws, and is ca
pable of sawing 120,000 feet of lumber per day.
Others hero have from 40 to 100 saws, and to
those who have never looked upon anything
more than city sawing, the sight of them at
work is quite interesting. A basin, covering
over silty arsre.s of ground, has been construct
ed on the line of tho railroad, in the town, and
a number of large mill.; are to be constructed
for the purpose of sawing lumber, which ran
be placed upon the cars directly from the mill.
It is said that next year the mills in this im
mediate vicinity will be enabled to turn out
ono hundred million feet of lumber annually.
Nearly two hundred houses have been erected
tho past season, and a large town hall, by
feet, will be ready for .iccuptition in a few
weeks.
Tho surprising information is br , elgid. fr•on
San Francisco that largo quantities of very
rich silver ore have began to come in from the
eastern slope of the Sierra, where it abounds
apparently, in inexhaustible quantities. The
ore is described as of far superior richness to
any ever obtained from Mexico or Peru, and
improving in quality as it is dug from a pest
er depth. The place is only three or four days
journey eastward from San Francisco, at
Washer,; and a great excitement is expected
