THE PITTNEURGII, ;FORT -WAYNE
AND, CHICAGO RALROAD - DIFFI
CULTY. _
It is now quite manifest -thei the
recent movement of_a few of the bond
holders of this road at Cleveland, in
procuring the appointment of a _Receiv
er, in the person of Mr. Y. S., Edger
ton, was made with the design of rnak
ing the road tributary to New York, in
stead of Pennsylvania interests. The
Cleveland Herald, in a recent article, mi
nute as much. It says "In plain terms,
the western line has been used as the cat's
paw with which the Pennsylvania Central
people have raked the chestnuts from the
fire." Here there appears to Jits the true
cause of the present difficulty. t
In the recent " railroad war," the New
York roads retired from the field hors du cont.:
bat, and in the present contest it is apparent
thatthey have attempted an impossibility.
The two roads which connect Philadel
phia and Chicago, are regarded, by the busi
ness community of both the East and the
West, as one great continuous line. It has
been demonstrated that its facilities for doing
business at rates to please shippers, and in
better time than the New York routes are un
equalled by any road in the country. It is the
natural route between the North-West and
the seaboard, and, as such, must =thane to
command a fair share of the business. , The
domestic rivalry between the New York
roads, and the joint general rivalry between
the two and the Pennsylvania and Bal
timore routes, has resulted in favor of
the latter. The result has been that
the New York railroad schemers have im
agined that if they could get control of
the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chica
go road, they could, by using a portion of
the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati
road, tap it at Crestline, and thus divert
freight and travel from its natural route by
way of Cleveland over their own roads.—
The local interests of Cleveland would of
course 'fever such a projeCt, that city being
connected with Pittsburgh by another and
entirely different railroad.
With this design; the New York schemers
cast about for some method to get control of
the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
road. They find that they can control a
small amount of mortgage bonds, the inter
est of which, due in October, has not been
paid, and straightiray they go to Cleveland
which is ready to favor their designs, and
ask the appointment or a Receiver and to
make a show of fairness to the other credi
tors of the Road, they send for the Vice
President of the road and procure the Court
to give him this position. The proceeding
is purely an &parte one, for the manage
ment of the road have no notice of it until
after it has : been consummated. The per
sons who have procured the appointment
of a Receiver represent perhaps $l5O -or
*300,000 of the obligations of the toad. - 'the
Board of Directors are the guardians
.and
custodians of an investment of . capital
amounting to something like fifteen millions of
dollars. The affairs of the road have been
administered with sore, judgment, ability
and fairness. The public, the stockholders,
and the creditors of,the road, with the ex
ception of the holders of this handful
of bonds have the most perfect confidence
in them and in the wisdom of their manage
ment. The working facilities and income
of the road have steadily improved under
their control. It is their duty to defend
themselves and the immense interests of
which they have charge from all interference,
of interested' parties repreSenting a mere'
fraction of the creditors of the road, who
made the aecret and es-parte attempt'
to obtain control of the road, not so much .
to secure these few bondholders whose claims
are beyond - peradventure safe as to divert
the trade of the North-West trom Pennsyl ,
vania to New York.
The attempt, however, we are sled to say,
is.like to prove as futile as it was unneces
sary and wrong. The appointment of a
Sequestrator here by a Pennsylvania Court
in the person of Hr. Db. Puy at the instance
of the domestic creditors here, has checked
all danger for the present of any injury
from the hasty and improvident action of
the New Yorkers. This gentleman is man
aging his trust ably and faithfully, and the
working forces of the road have confidence
in his action. He will not interfere'with the
general policy of the management of thb
road, and will proceed strictly :in. accord
_ ance with thslina of duty, which the Court
that appointed him shall order. ite has
undisputeCcontrol and management of the
affairs of the road in Pennsylvania.
On :Saturday we learned by : telegraph
that the Superior Court Of Chicago had
granted in injunction, restraining J. K. Ed
gerton, Esq., lately appointed Receiver by
the Federal. Court of Ohio from interfering
with the Board of Directors in the manage
ment of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railroad. Company in. Illinois.
A meeting will be held in this city on
Wednesday, neat, of the bondholders -and
other parties - interested in the success and
Prosperity of_the Company, to decide upon
some course of action which shall be mull
ally satisfactory to all parties, and keel; the
road under a single management. That mail
agement should undoubtedly be the Board Of
Direcqls elected by the stockholders - of the
, Conap.' , . - r";‘Their general policy has been rip
public, and has been maid
-,;beatiterest of all concerned.

the recent difficulty between R: "J. Haldeman,
Esq., editor of the Harrisburg Patriot and
Union, and Speaker Lawrence, of the Penn
sylvania House of Representatives, we publish
the following statements of the facts, as set
forth in the Washington States and Union.
The subject is a delicate one, and in this com
munity, where both the gentlemen are known,
distorted statements • and misrepresentations
should not be permitted
A Card.
Owing to frequent; unscrupulous, and vile
personal assaults upon ,me,- during eighteen
months past, in the.columns of the Harrisburg
Daily Telegraph, I had been-seeking (reluct
antly compelled to adopt this course,) the res
ponsible party connected with that journal,
when on Monday, the 28th of November, I
met Mr. Wm. C. N. Lawrence, in Harris
burg. He, almost immediately after our meet
ing, referred to an article, published in the
Patriot 4-.. Union some weeks previously, and
demanded from me a promise of public retrac
tion or apology therefor. -This I declined, un
til, at least; I could reed the article,which I did
not think contained anything exceptionable,
or until I might consult the - friends in whose
.ltands the - whole matter had been placed.—
Thereupon he volunteered the avowal of his
responsibility for all the assaults made upon
me in the Telegraph., of which- he declared
himself third owner; at the same time remark
ing that he should soon pass beyond the
limits of Pennsylvania. Washington
was indicated, and in accordance with
our mutual understanding, 1 arrived in
the city on the let of December, and
Mr. Lawrence on the 3d.. I. waited some
haws, with the exception that Mr. Lawrence
would communicate with me in reference to the
first Mentioned and his illegal cause of griev
ance but being disappointed in this, I ad
dressed to him on the 3d, through the hands
of my friend, Joseph B. Stewart, a peremptory
demand for apology or satisfaction, which lat
ter demand was answered by an unconditional
acceptance. • The conduct of Mr. Lawrence
and his friends before and after this acceptance,
is fully detailed in communications which are
appended. I can merely say that Mr. Law
rence and his friends left the city four days
ago, without giving me the slightest notifica
tion of their intention, and without stating
when, if ever, they will return. I have now
waited for their reappearance until imperative
engagements call me elsewhere. Consequently,
the only cpurse for me to pursue
,is to make
the facts public, without ,comment, leaving
gentlemen everywhere to form their own con
clusions. R. J. 11A.LDEMAN.
W.L.SHINOTOIT, - Dee - ember 9, 1859.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 1859
DEasa Sea : I delivered Wm. C. N. Law
rence, esq., your note of the 3d instant, a copy
of which •I returned, and herewith inclose,
marked A.
On the sth I received from Mr. Lawrence,
through the hands of Chu. M. Hall and
George Bergner, esqs., whom he nominated as
his friends to act for him in thepremises a note
acknowledging the receipt of yours of the 3d,
and responsive to its demands. I inclose the
original marked B.
I was then prepared and proposed to pro
ceed at once with such further preliminaries
as are usual in such cases, when, for some
reason, those gentlemen deferred action until
further deliberation with their friends.
Not hearing further from them on that day,
I waited till the 6tb, and then prepared a com
munication, the original of which I herewith
inclose, marked C, which was addressed to
Messrs. Hall and Bergner, desiring them to
proceed to a final adjustment of this matter. I
lroceeded with the note, in person, to their
odgings at the National Hotel, where 1 met
Mr. Hall. Ho accosted me by saying that
he desired a copy of Mr. Lawrence's note of
the 6th, which I gave to him, at the same time
handing my note of the 6th, above alluded to.
Ho desired me not to press that note upon
him at that moment, saying that Mr Lawrence
!nad left the city; but that he, Mr. Hall; was
'here, and wished till 3 o'clock to make known
to mo his final action on the premises. I ex
pressed my surprise at Mr Lawrence's depar
ture at such a stage of the correspondence be
tween you. air. Hall excused Mr. Lawrence's
absence by saying he would return at a mo
,ment's warning, and promised to give a final
;answer by'3 o'clock. I kept myself in resdi
ness to hear from Mr. Hall till that hour, but,
•receiving no message, waited until 4 o'clock p.
in., when I called at the office of the National
Hotel, and was informed that ho had left
the city on the 3 o'clock train, leaving
no message for me. ' I waited till the Bth, arid
hearing nothing from Mr. Lawrence or his
friends, and there being no ono with whom to
communicate further, I can only repeat the
facts, and return you the correspondence,
which you aro at liberty to use in such manner
as your discretion may dictate.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
Jos. B. STEWART.
R. J. 114.1.Ds.maN, Esq.
NATIOT.L&L HOTEL, Dec. 3, 1859
Dman Sea: On Monday evening last, when
meeting me in Harrisburg in the presence of
Mr. Wm, Dick, Jr., you introduced the subject
of an article which appeared in the Patriot 4.
Union the day after the departure of Mr.
Dock and yourself for Cuba, and to which you
expressed certain exceptions. You also de
clared yourself personally responsible for the
gross attacks appearing at various times in the
Telegraph, reflecting upon my character as a
gentleman, and concluded these remarks with
a suggestion that you would be pleased to see
me elsewhere than in the State of Pennsylva
nia, and Washington city was indicated. As
we have been for some hours in the same he
tel, and you not calling my attention to your
alleged cause of complaint, 1 deem it due to
myself, under your declaration of responsibili
ty, to make a demand upon you in reference to
my own grievances.
I take it for granted, from the spirit of your
remarks to me, that you are aware that I for
some time have been seeking satisfaction from.
the Hon. Joseph Casey who referred the mat
ter to the Hon. Simon Cameron,in whose hands
the correspondence was suspended. Presum
ing from your declared responsibility,that you
assumed the burden at the stage to which I
had progressed when dropped by Mr. Camer.
on, I now demand an unqualified retraction of
each and every article in anywise reflecting
upon my character, which appeared in the
Telegraph ; or, if refused, I shall expect you
to indicate a suitable place beyond the Dis
trict of Columbia, where I can visit you with
such further demands. as will call upon you di
rectly for that measure of satisfaction recog
nized between gentlemen. My friend, Joseph
B. Stewart, Esq., will act for me in the prem
ises. Very respectfully yours,
J. HALDEMAN.
MR. WM. C. A. LAWRENCE.
WABtTNOTON, Dec. .5, 1859
Sus: I have received your communication
of December 3d. All matters of dispute be
tween us have been referred to my friends,

GENTLEMEN : On the 3d inst., R. J. Halde

friend, to W. C. A. Lawrence, Esq., making
a demand for personal satisfaction for certain
causes of complaint and injuries therein men
tioned." •On • yesterday, the 6th, I received
through your hands, as the friends of Mr.
Lawrence, a note acknowledging the receipt of
Mr. Haldeman's note of the 3d, and which
named you as his friends to act for him in the
premises.
I then was", and still am, prepared to proceed
to the further arranging of such preliminaries
as are usual in such cases, and I hope you will
be so good as to indicate in what method, and

TILE EXHIBITION OF THE PITTS..
BURGH ART ASSOOIATION.
The gentlemen who have for some weeks
past-been devoting their time and attention to
getting up an exhibition of paintings in Pitts
burgh; have achieved a perfect triumph. On
'Saturday night, the gallery was opened for pri
vete view, and was visited by a large number
of members of the press, and other invited
guests. It astonishing how much Mr. Wolff,
Mr. Wall, Mr. Gillespie and the other mem
bers of the committee have accomplished in
the shbrt space of time they have been at work.
Two hundred and fifty splendid paintings, by
great number of artists, have been collected a
and most tastefully arranged in the large, well
lighted hall, in fine frames, and with all the
necessary accompaniments. We doubt if any
city of the Union can boast of a more exquisite
collection. Tho gems of art have been gath
ered from private collections, and thus an
agreeable variety of subjects are presented.
There is taste in Pittsburgh, we know, and
if this exquisite artistic exhibition does not
bring it out, we shall be greatly disappointed.
Every Pittaburgber should attend this exhi
bition.
To-day the gallery will be open to the pub
lic, and will continue open from day to day
for some weeks. A rich treat is in store for
the ,public taste, and every one should lend his
and her aid in support of so praiseworthy a
public enterprise.
RESISTANCE TO THE DECISION Of.
THE COURTS.
The Commercial Journa/ of Saturday
states that "Every officer that will be in
office after the first day of January is pledg
ed to anti-tax:resistance, without regard to the
decisions of the Gurts." These .officers are
all Republicans, and the Republican party
must shoulder the responsibility if true, of
positive disregard to the decisions of the
Courts. This is repudiation with a ven
geance.
Fire Arms in ,Virginia
On Wednesday, in both Houses of the
Virginia Legislature, a bill was reported ap
propriating $100,001) for the purchase of fire
arms and munitions of Nv:u•, to be distribu
ted by the Governor among organized vol
unteer companies in exposed portions of
the State. In the House a communication
was presented from the Hon. C. J. Faulk
nor, urging an appropriation for the relief
of G. VIT 6 Richardson of Martinsburg, and
Samuel C. Young, of Charlestown, who
was wounded at Harper's Ferry. bill was
reported in the House to pay the'expenses
ieurred b the Governor in the Harper's bei
ry affair.

The Law of Fashion.
The slaves of fashion are the most ab
jrxt slaves in the world. Fashion takes pos
session of them body, soul and purse. It rig
them up in most fantastic shaptand then open•
the purse strings to make her devotees par for
being made fools of. It takes the men and dress
es them all in a Shanghai coat, or a sug.ir-loaf
hat, or a pair of pants so tight as to make lo
comotion difficult, if net dangerous sendi
them abroad upon the public pave, and then
says pay for this. The pour wretches who
congratulate themselves that they are under
the dominion of fashion, afflict to look with
pity and disdain upon those of their fellow
mortals who have not the badge of fashion
upon them, and waddle along in self compla
cency until they reach the privacy of their
chambers, when they hasten to deliver them-
Selves from the self-imposed torture.
With women it is no better in fact it is wore°.
Fur with women fashion plays her most mis
chievous pranks. Now the ediet goes forth
that the bonnet shall be like a sugar scoop, the
gown shall be low-reeked, the sleeves shall be
full and flaunting, and the skirt shall b
of convenient shortnesz and that on the back,
'over the hips an enormous hump, like the hump
'of a camel shall be worn. Aiwa, in a moment
in the twinkling of an eye, the whole pro
gramme is changed. The edict goes forth, and
:all obey, that the bonnet shall be a clapper little
thing, tied to the back of the bend, the dress
shall be high necked, the sleeves shall be of
moderate size, the skirts long and that under
neath shall be a bell-shaped petticoat. which
shall spread out the skirts to an amplitude ab
solutely amazing. Well, the women b.-.w to
the decree and you shall see every day upon the
streets women of every degree sweeping down
the public walks with skirts variously describ
ing a circle of from ten tolifty . ftet.
A new edict has now been given which
all womankind will obey. Indeed, they would
obey a law of fashion whatever it might be,
whether it respired skirts no lower than the
knee, or dresses no higher than the arm pits.
The new edict banish the crinoline. Hear
that ye ladies who glory in your magnetical
amplitude. The law is certain, and come
from the very throne of fashion itself. At the
dictate of her Majesty, the Empress Eugenic,
crinoline is definitely banished, and for promo
mules in ordinary toilettes mousseline de lain<
has been adopted. All dresses will be of this
material, but not long and trailing. They are
to be short no at to show the lower part of
the leg a little. It will not belong, we im
agine, before the ladies of America will show
their loyalty to the behest of fashion's Queen,
by adopting this picturesque dress, which shows
'the lower part of the leg a little."
So we go. If conscience makes cowards of us
all, fashion makes fools of us all. Now we
regard fashion as a cheat, a humbug, a faithless
jade, full of nonsense and cajolery, but lacking
in that quality which should give it an endur
ing claim upon our regards. There is no varie
ty in fashion. It presents an eternal and in
sipid sameness. Itis a blind goddess and rec
ognizes neither age, nor size, nor shape, nor
complexion. It ordains that a garment of a
particular cut shall be worn, and all men, if it
is for male wear, and all women, if it is for
female wear, must adopt it upon pain of being
read out of the fashionable world. No matter
if the wearer is old and wrinkled, or young
' and fair; tall and slender, or short and squab
shaped, it is all the same; he or she must sub
mit or suffer the penalty of being proscribed
by the devotees of fashion.
• We say knock fashion in the head as a de
testable humbug. Cut loose from it, and lot
ove-y one employ their taste in the selection
of their wardrobe, making sure, always, to
keep within their means. So shall the public
whether in the street or in assemblies, present
a more seemly and interesting appearance by
showing an agreeable and tasteful variety in
costume, and so shall they avoid the rock of
pecuniary embarrassment, which always lies
directly in the track of those who make it a
point to obey all of fashion's laws, however
absurd or costly they may be. Wo should not
then see the men at a drawing room, all dressed
in sombre black that suggest funeral ideas, or
with garrote collars that suggest painful ideas
of choking to death; nor the women in pre
posterous crinoline, under which half a dozen
mischievous urchins might hide with perfect
safety.
Wealthy Turfmeu
It is estimated that the income of Win. Mc-
Donald, Esq., owner of Flora Temple, reaches
$BO,OOO annually. He is ono of the most en
terprising gentlemen in America, and though
he d >es not breed racing stock, ho is always
ready to pay the largest figures for good horses.
Hon. Duncan F. Kenner, of Louisiana, has
a plantation valued at $200,000, while his
negroes aro worth $lOO,OOO more. He lays by
a contingent fund for racing purposes every
year, and has from six to nine flyers constantly
on hand and in training.
Tne Senate Committees.
The Standing Committees of the Senate have
'not yet been arranged. It is said Mr. Toombs
and some others, desire the restoration of Mr.
Douglai to the Chairmanship of the Commit
tee on Territories. This certainly ought to be
done, and if done would go farther towards
uniting and harmonizing the Democratic party
than anything which has been done fur years.

Indiana and the Presidency.
The Indianopolis Sentinel shows from the
records that the Democracy of Indiana, in
1852, and in 1856, expressed a prefference
in State Convention for a candidate for the
Presidency. The first instance was for Gen
eral Lane and the second for Senator Bright.
The Sentinel now favors the recommendation
of Senator Douglas for President by the ap
proaching Eleventh-of-January Convention.
Two thirds of the party at least are in his
favor.
Will of Elizabeth Cleo.
In October, last a paper purporting to be
a copy or memorandum of a will of Mrs.
Cleu, executed in December, 1856, was of
fered by the contestants, in the Surrogates
Court, New York City, to prove the con
tents of such *ill which was said to be lost.
Witherell having sworn that he had writ
ten that memorandum in the later part of
December, 1856, when he had the lost will
before him. The proponent's counsel put
Mr. Harrison Garfield, a paper manufactur
er from Massachusetts, who testified that
the paper on which such memorandum was
written, was made at his mills, but that it
was nit made in December, 1856 ; that they
did not make that kind of paper till July
1857, and that judging from the tex
ture and quality, he was of the opinion that
it wag made late in 1e53. This evidence
produced a profound sensation in court,
and during the cross examination of this
witness, .lohn E. Devlin, one of the contes
tants, attempted to walk out of the court
room with the paper written by Witherell,
but was stopped by one of the counsel for
the proponent. Thu science defeats ras
cality.
Sett ect Ulm Rigid.
Henry Ward Beecher went to Philadelphia
to lecture last week, and supposing that his au
dience were mainly of the Abolition arid Union
hating stripe, he went out of 1114 way to glorify
John Brown and to denounce those who had
censured him. He wai cut short, however, by
one of the most violent storms of hisses which
were ever aimed at a roan who was defying
publn sentiment, and insulting persons who
came to a lecture which was avowedly only
literary The uproar for a time created con
siderable panic. Through the forbearance of
those who execrated the sentiments .or the
speaker, he was allowed to proceed, after a
suitable hissing, w ith his remarks.

THE ARTICLE THAT WILL NATU
RALLY restore the color of the hair, the changing
of which to gray, being en Indication of a lack of proper
secretions, is truly a valuable medicine. Prot Wood's
Item Tonic is the only safe remedy for baldness, dry
ness, premature change of color, and the several evi
dences of a lack of secretions at the roots of the hair,
which can be found. Quack preparations abound, and
hair tonics . ' till every corner grocery in rho country. all "hair tonics" unless known to be the prepa
ration of soma man whose celebrity has become world
wide. Do not let any nostrum vender experimentupon
your hair. Touch nothing you have not a g,ood reason
to.behevo is all that it purports to be. Prof. Woods has
earhed by years of severe test of the virtues of his pre
paration, his present fame. Over 150 certificates are be
fore us of the value of this Hair Restorative, from par.
ties who have tried It. Read the following:
Nt - ic Yor.s, April 19, 1855.-1 1 a. Woon—Dear
mit me to express to you the obligations I am under for
the entire restoration of my Hair to its original color.
About the time of my arrival in the the United States it
was rapidly becoming gray, but upon the application of
your Hair Restorative It soon recovered its onginal bue.
I consider your Restoi itive as a very wonderful inven
tion, quite efficacious as well as agreeable. •

ARTIFICIAL TEETH.
- •
TT IS A WELL-KNOWN FACT THAT
first class Dentistry has been beyond the reach of
the mass of people on account of kir costliness, and the
majority, rather than take up with the inferior workman
ship of " Cheap.Dentisth,". hate adopted trio wiser course
and done without any, for if a set of teeth be Imperfect
in workmanship and inexact tn fit, it is worse
.than p3e,
leas,and dear skany prise. .. The
. .
CORALITE AND PORCELAIN TEETH
Have inaugurated a new era iu the science of Dentiairy:
being the very beat Artificial Teeth now in use, they can
be afforded at price. that place them within the reach
of all. •
Being the first to hxtroduce these - new-styles of work
to this community, I accordingly fixed'suchprices as I
deemed would remunerate the best artistic alidlnechan- •
ical skill. Since then, however, the tuaprecodefitialiW
vor with which the work 'hag een received,llso cop -
pelted other dentists to adopt it, some of whom-wish to
retain the old Gold Planspricalk which I consider would'
be
be exorbitant; for, 'thongh the.4ferar styles are - realty
inure valuable than the best gad work, they are inside
of less expensive material The increased amount of ~
work done, also compensates rot the reduction in price.
On the other hand, a • few Dental Quacks of this City,
who possess - neither -mechanical akin' or COMMOII holt- -,
esty, advertise the work at prices slightly leas then my
own, notwithstanding they have-neither the ability nor .
right (it being patented) to manufacture it. The object
of this trickery is merely to obtain , an oppOrtunity to--
disparage the Comitte andPorcolain, and recorpmetj4
some of their own worthlesswork.
I have felt bohad, in justice to Myself and the
to make known these facts. .
The rinalities of the PORCELAIN AND CORiLITg
PLATL TEETH, which establish Their great superiority,
over the best Gold or other Menthe Plate, are--entire
freedom from all matalie taste, smell or tarnish, being
ineorroilible and impervious to the micas o
,ergo
perfect ailaptiMon (impossible in tnetago w,
which, with mach greater strentli and lightnesa, e
them to be worn with Inure ease, eointort and utility.
Theyare also far more durable, less liable to accident,
and more easily repaired. ' .
