PITTSBUROH AS IT IS.
Shortcomings ami Needed Reforms.
WANT OK A CITY li l'l I.D ING—-TH K TOMBS—
THKCLD tthDOUBT, AC.
Pittsburgh is one of tho few cities. East or
West, that has no building of her own for
transacting her own business—no place of un
questionable security for tho preservation of
her records and valuable documents—no con
veniences lor her .-dicers. It is a disgrace to
our people that a suitable place, in a central
locality, has not long since boen provided for
these purposes. The visitor looks in vain for
the fine structures be sees in all other cities,de
voted to tho purposes of the municipality, and
it is most humiliating for us to say that our
affairs aro managed in rented apartments un
suitable for tho purposo.
Vet this is trui.-; while wo have one of the
finest torn pies of justice in the country, excel
lent market bouses, fine water works, &c. t we
are without what our sister city, Allegheny,
had years ago. ledoed, so long since that a
project is oil foot to renew it—a town ball.
It is almost impossible for tho business affairs
of tbo city to bo properly carried on with the
present facilities. We need one commodious
building, dividul into proper compartments,
in which all the offices connected with the
city government should be concentrated. The
Mayor, Controller, Treasurer, Solicitor, Re
cording Regulator, Street Commissioners and
alt otiher officers should be provided with
offices in tho building and, although tho city
fathers are now well provided for, tho Council
Chambers should also be brought under the
samo roof. This ball should be provided with
large and secure vaults, such as those now used
by the banks, which would secure, beyond a
peradventure, in ca*re of fire or accident, the
urchieves and other papers cf tho city. This
would also bo a great convenience to those
doiDg business lor and with ihe city, as all
needed documents and inlormation could be
had without the necessity of leaving the build
iDg, aDd business*eould be conducted much
more systematically than at present.
The expense attendant upon such q building
would not be large. A lot sufficiently large,
and in a good locality, could bo purchased Tor
$lO,OOO or $12,000, and tho building could be
put up at a cost of $15,000 or SIH,OOO, amply
large for the purpose and with all necessary
appurtenances and the conveniences of gas,
water, water-closets, <fce. $30,000, or at most
$35,000 would complete this improvement, and
the rent now paid for the building occupied
by aorno of the city offices, on I'ourth street,
would go tar towards paying the interest,
while the additional revenu : obtained from
tho rooms now occupied as council chambers,
committee rooms, Ac., would assist in making
up the baiani o The increased comfort of offi
ces and saiety of the city property would cer
tainly compensate for the small deficiency to
be made up from tho city purse. Then, too,
such a structure would be a credit to the city,
and place us Upon an equality with other cities
There 1s also a growing necessity for a city
prison or lock-up, which tho erection of such
a building would supply. Tho present ar
rangement is tho best wo can expect to have
under the circumstances We have, connect
ed with the Mayor’s office, what is dignified
with the appellation ot the tombs, embracing
nine cells and a corridor. In these colls,not more
than five by seven foot, if so large, we have
known forty prisoners to be kept over night.
Thoy are frequently damp and unhealthy, al
ways swarming with vermin and not secure,
yet much more so than formerly. Wo have
known pa ties confined here, from tfap priva
tions trey know from experience they must
endure, beg to bo suit to the county jail, even
though there was a prospect of release in a few
houre. Escapes from the watch-house, though
not very lrequent, must be fresh in the recol
lection of every citizen. It is the business of
no one to watch the prisoners and attend to
their wants, and not unfrequenlly men con
fined for drunkenness, parched with thirst as
they become *ober, are obliged to wait for
hours, especially on Sunday, before they can
get a drink of water, and then not until they
L sve exhausted their patience and distracted
the serves of all within hearing by beating
against *bo bars of their cells with a tin-cup.
This state affairs certainly demands a reme
dy and more than the proposed
cementing of the vails, ceilings and floors of
the cells, to keep ou* the bugs. With the new
building, a city prison, on a small scale, could
be constructed, at a trifli.rg expense, contain
ing say thirty or thirty-two c*dls, which would
be secure and comfortable. I hen a keeper
should be appointed, to guard those in confine
ment and attend to their wants. Tho expense
of this would soon be made up by saving the cost
of committing persons to jail for twenty-four
hours and keeping those held for “ further
hearing.” whom it is frequently necesi&jy to
prevent from communicating with prisoners
m the county jail. Tho benefits and advan
tages of such a change would bo felt by many.
Persons of respectability, arrested on suspi
cion, as is sometimes the case, need not then be
crowded into uncomfortable cells, overrun
with vermin, along with half a dozen besotted
wretches, and we would not be compelled to
record slabbing affrays and fights in the tombs,
between prisoners confined in tbo samo cell.—
We think this matter worthy the early atten
tion and mature consideration of the city au
thorities.
Though not exactly within the sphere ot
this article wo would hero suggest another
matter which has occurred tons. While in
the vicinity ot the old redoubt, at the Point, a
few days since, we observed that it was fast
going to decay. As a relic of the past the
old block-hotiso possess much interest to our
citizens, as well as of many residents of West
ern Pennsylvania, being closely connected
tarh.h our early history and the oldest budding
■in the city —now nearly a hundred years old,
erected, a* tho6tone over the doorway indicates,
un 17'M, by Col. Bouquet. The old building
and the ground upon which it stands could bo
purchased for a small sum, and a few hundred
dollars every ten years would keep it in good
repair another century or longer. Our city
should have enough pride to got possession of
this venerable memento of the past, place an
enclosure around it and bold it sacred. It
would soon bo viewod with the same spirit hs
Independence Hall in Philadelphia and be
come an object of interest to every visitor to
.our city.
It is time our people should have some city
pride, and as the condition of our city treasury
is now annually improving we can soon afford
to invests little in something that may not
yield as much rovonue as the markot-bousoi or
city walor-worLo. Let us have something in
which wo may take an honost pride, apart
from pecuniary considerations.
Lloyd’s Hikstrklr.— To-night is the last
but two that this troupe can remain in our
city* They have engagements already made
to fulfil until the Ist of April next, when they
Locate for the season at Niblo’s Kaloon, Broad*
way, New York. We shall part from them
with regret, as they are certainly one of the
most talented and complete organizations that
has ever visited our city Saturday evening
will be their last hero, and those who wuuld
f ujoy a treat in listening to the dulcet strains
ot both instrument and voice, can hear it at
Lloyd’s, with all duo regard to effect and har
mony- It if idle to commend the comedians
of the troupe, as they are sufficiently known,
and their ability rocognized, to make the com
mendation here useless.

Suffering in Kansas—Appeal for
Direct Contributions —"We were visited
yesterday by Dr. li. 8. Greeno, of Fort Sjott,
Kansas, who is doing what he can to obtain
assistance for the people of Bourbon and
McGee counties, Kansas. He represents that
there is much suffering there from want of
food and clothing, aud although the contribu
tions to the suffering people of Kansas have
been most liberal, those residing in the counties
named have, owing to the fact that they are so
far South, making them almost inaccessible
from Atchison, tho location of the executive
committee, obtained no relief as yet. Recently
the citizens of Bourbon county met in their
respective townships and selected commission*
ers to meet at M&rmiton, to devise means of
relief. The commissioners selected Dr. A. G.
Osbun as chairman, and W. K. Griffith as Sec
retary, and they appeal to the .people of the
United States for the assistance they cannot
obtain through the committee to whom con
tributions have so far been sent. Tuny require
money to purchase food and clothing and
desire that any contributions our citizens may
see proper to make may be forwarded direct to
the Chairman of the Committee, directed to
Fort Scott, via Bedalia, the terminus of the
Pacific Railroad, HO miles from Fort Scott,
which latter point is easily roachod by teaais.
Tbs amount received will be distributed to the
townships, according to tho number of tbe dos
litute, through township committees.
Bl RuI.AKV AN!* ARK)?*' IN A 1.1.F>. il BN V . —lt
is evident that our sister city is infested by
a gang of incendiaries, who committed fur
ther depredations yesterday morning.—
About four o’clock the lumberyard office
of Mr. Benjamin Patterson, on Liberty
street, was entered by forcing the door, and
the lock blown off the safe by the applica
tion of powder. Mr. Patterson is absent,
and we did Dot learn whether anything had
been stolen or not. The thieves then de
liberately fired a board-pile, located about
the middle of the yard, where a large
amount of valuable material was stored.
Fortunately the fire was discovered iu time
to prevent the destruction of tie lumber
in the yard. When the alarm was raised,
a man living some four square* tudow raised
the window .»('nis apartment and discovered
that the* slable ofMr. R. 11. King, on Liberty
street, was on tire. He at once gave the
alarm, but the fire had been communicated
to tbe hay, and could not be checked. The
stable was almost entirely consumed, but
the incendiaries had enough mercy left to
turn loose Mr. King’s horse and cow before
they fired tbe slab!.' We hope thc.-c bends
may be caught and brought to speedy |u.~-
tice.

Rrilroaij Collision’. —On Saturday last,
at Bellaire, near Wheeling, a train on the
Contra! Oho railroad, while backing up t>»
Uridgcf*orl, ran into a train on tho Cleveland
and Pittsburgh road, which was standing on a
siding Dear the main track. The engine of
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh train spilt the
car fairly in two, for half its length, and the
steam issuing from the boiler soon aim-.'’.ob
scured the wreck from view. The car was oc
cupied by Capt&in James Moore, his wife, lit
tle child, and a lady from Wellsburg. all of
whom were slightly injured. Captain Moore's
head was caught in the wreck and held fie if
by a vice, until removed. His wile’s arm wpg
cut and bruised in several plaC' S, and the child
was tdighily scalded. The Welisburg lady
was supposed, at firet, to'tiavo inhaled the hot
Steam which burst upon tno damaged car, but
was improving yesterday morning. There
were no other passengers in the car, and u was
regarded as almost miraculous that some of
these were rot killed or fatally injured. The
passenger? themselves are unable to tell bow
they escaped, the car having been literally
crushed to pieces around and about thorn.
Mysterious Disa p i * range. Kbenezer
B. Sinilev, a highly respectable merchant of
New Lisbon, Ohio, and a worthy and upright
eiti/.on, has beoh missing since Thursday last,
lie came to this city for tbo purpose of buying
goods, and bad visited tho house of Mitchell,
Herron & Co., the Farmers' Deposit Bank, and
other places whore ho was in the habit of deal
ing. Ho bad beeu stopping at Mcanor’s Ho
tel, and was seen to leave it abeut noon on
Thursday, since which timo no information
whatever baa been obtained concerning b:m.
From a roinark which he made at Mitchell,
Herron & Go's., it was inferred that he bad at
loast seven or eight hundred dollars iu money,
while his friends think be bad um r v Ho had
a largo amount cf Missouri money, which he
was endeavoring to convert into par funds, and
was seen to handlo some of this at the Hotel.
At the Farmers' Deposit Bank ho pu'cha.-eJ a
bill of eicbango for one hundred di liars. As
he was a gentleman of unexceptionable charm* -
t‘jr, and not likely to fall into evil company, it
is feared that ho has been foully dealt with,
and bis family and friends entertain the keen
est apprehensions for his safety.

PITTSBURGH. THURSDAY! MORNING,
Allegheny County Horticultural Society-
Fruit Prospect*.
The Horticulture! Society hold a regular
meeting at their rooms yesterday morning.
Tbe attendance was large, in view of the fact
that the fruit prospects was to come up for dis*
cussion.
The following gentlemen exhibited specimens:
Mr. H. McCormick, of New Castle, Law
rence county ; cuttings of peach and cherry :
branches were badiy fro/.ea ; buds ail killed.—
Mr. John Lowen, of Mt. Washington;
branches from twelve varieties of cberry;
killed, witb scarcely an exception. Mr. Oil
liam.of Ross township ; five varietias of apples;
little if any injured. Also, tbreo varieties of
cherry, all hopelessly killed. Also, two varie
ties of pear, badly injured. Three varieties of
poach, all injured. Throe specimens of plum,
generally ktllod. T. Shields & Co., of
Sewickloy ; ieveral varieties of cherry, all
killed, without exception. Also, peach varie
ties, killed, and several varieties of pear. Mr.
James McCullough, of Collins township, six
varieties of peaches, all killed. Also, varieties
of cherry, Mr. Knox cxhioited a lot of
peach branches —fruit buds all killed. Mr.
Bisaell, of Allegheny: some limbs from trees
in Aliegheney, somewhat sheltered. About
one in twenty of the Iruit huda were alive
Of the varieties, two were budded and one
seedling.
The cause of killing was now discussed and
all agreed that the buds wo F e winter-killed and
we should have little fruit this year—in fact
very lew blossoms. Tnero was a diversity of
opinion as to the time of tbe killing, some fix
ing u at the lime of a sudden change in N ovem
ber, and others dating it onlv as far back as tbe
cold snap in February. The peaches, pears,
cherries, and plums are conceded to be nearly
all k liled, but the apples are gone rally regarded
as safe, and a fair crop is antic.paled.
Tbe subject of pruning was neit taken up.
Mr. Biased was opposed to the u»e of the knife
upon peach trees. Pinching was sulli.nent to
keep a good tree in proper shape, if attended
to in l.me. He thought that ihis V"«rtrim- !
ming might bo resorted t“, where the tr.-e had I
lost Us proportion ; and next \ear a good crop
might oc the result. Mr. Kr.cx wu* in lavor
of ‘'cutting in” hia peach tr'- s, and subj»*ctirg
them to as severe pruning as grape v/ <- 11*.
wag in favor of “low beads,' nni would cut off
all the straggling bran bes. CM c-our.-e pruning
should be executed judicuu-ly, nod the kn.ln
should not be indiscriminately applied. Mr.
Aiken was in favor of “culling in” ibepa.L
tree Mr. Bisseil recommended train.ng,
rather than pruning. The thumb an 1 linger,
at the proper lime, would * hv.ato the u.-o oi
tho Unile. But this year, when he expoelM
no fruit, ho would cut down sever.-iy all Li
high trees. Mr. Lo*e\ asked what a peach
orchard was worth, alter f*ur good crops had
been taken off? Mr Btssell stated that his
pouch trees, in Allegheny, bad bo«n bearing
well for liftc- n yeare, and never faib-d "Xivpt
wbon winter killed. Mr Kn* x was conv meed
that poach tree®, if taken care u f, would U*ar
twenty crop*. Tnc *amt» opini ,>n was exprea&cd
by Mr. Cummings Tho tree would hear
every year, for thirty or forty years, if prop
erly cultivated. Mr w».« in favor of
cultivating and manuring Ui-» punch orchnrd,
and by furnishing the necessary pabulum a
crop might al ways bo exp#*cl<*d Tb<- discus
sion then closed.
On motion of Mr. Bisseil, the subject of
holding a June exhibition was postponed until
next meeting.
Mr. K nox exhibited a variety of ibc <•. m.

Washington* City, March 2D. — Senate
Mr. Hale, of North Carolina, offered a resolu
tion which lies over, that the Senate adjourn
on Saturday at one o’clock, without delay.
The Senate resumed the consideration of Mr.
Douglas' resolution calling for information
relative to the forts, Ac.
Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, said be had at all
times, endeavored so to guard his bumble
course that no word from his lips shouid have
a tendoncy to increase and foster alienation
and separation between the different portions
of the confederacy. The issue which bo had
long anticipated had now culminated in the
withdrawal of seven States from the Union.—
He conceived a reunion to be impracticable,
and there remained but one of two courses to
pursue, namely, war with a new subjugation or
the acknowledgement of their independence
as a separate nationality. He then indica
ted the features of a proposition he in
tended to offer, which, in substance, sets forth
that seven States have by the action of the
people thereof, under the claim of State rights,
withdrawn from tho Federal Union and organ
ized, by the same authority, a separate gov
ernment of Confederated States, and that
whether the right so claimed be among the re
served rights of the States or revolutionary in
its charactt&iifiife fact of a new separate gov
ernment is indisputable ; that the enforcement
of the Federal laws has become improbable,
and that war cannot restore these States tqjffigfe
Union. The proposition concludes
resolution, that tho President, by and with'&d*
advice of the Senate, be. dothed in full pow
er aDd authority to accept the declaration of
the seceding States, that they constitute an ali
en people, and that he conclude with them a
treaty acknowledging their independence as a
separate nation. Otherwise, the other altern*
ative is civil war which should thus be avoid
ed.
The Senate to-day, confirmed the follow
ing nominations : Charles K. Adams, Min
ister to England, Geo. P. Marsh, Minister to
Sardinia, James Watson Webb, Minister to
Turkey, H. 'B. Sanford, Connecticut, Minis
ter to Belgium, Win. S. Thayer, N. V., as
Consul General to Egypt-, Patrick J. Devine,
as Consul to Cork, Green CUy, as Secretary
of Legation to Spain, Francis Queen, Post
master at Niles, Michigan, Henry Shomo,
Postmaster at Fremont, OUio. The Senate
unanimously confirmed the nomination of
D. Defrees, as Superintendent of Public
Printing. Among other nominations sent
to the Senate to-day, were the following:
Anßon Burlinghame, Mass., Minister to Aus
tria, Rufus King, of N. Y., as Minister res
ident at Rome, Thomas J. Dryer, of Oregon,
Commissioner to the Hawaiian Islands.

ALWAYS ON
MADE TO
Washington City, March 20.— The
two indictments against Gov. Floyd
in the Court have been dismissed as untena
ble. The first was for conspiracy to defraud
the Government. The District Attorney
said, in open court, that there was no evi
dence to sustain the charge and with the
leave of the Court, entered a nolle proa^/ur.
The second was for malfeasance in office in
issuing acceptances. The act of 1807 pro
hibits a prosecution where the party impli
cated has testified before a committee of
Congress, touching the matter charged.
This has been judicially decided to be not a
privilege of the witness, but a mandate of
the law, and the case would have to come
to an abrupt termination on the fact ap
pearing in the course of the trial. On the
fact being submitted in advance to the
Court by counsel on both sides, the indict
ment was ordered to be quashed as it could
not have been maintained,
The Commissioners from the Confederate
Suites will wait leisurely for the action of
the Government. Great efforts are being
made by distinguished gentlemen to effect
a peaceful solution of the Southern compli
cations. The government at Montgomery
have no apprehensions of a collision at Fort
Pickens. It is said that the accounts pub
lished are gross exaggerations of the true
condition of affairs of that quarter. The
Commissioners have information that the
best feeling exists between the Federal au
thorities and the officers in command of the
confederate troops, and no dauger of a colli
sion is anticipated.
Fort Smith, March 20.—The overland mail
arrived this evening with Dr. J. M Uaden,
Assistant Surgeon V. S. Army, and Lieut. U.
C. Hill, of the sth Infantry, as poseongers.—
Both of these officers have resigned. Lieut. 11.
B. Kelly, 10th Infantry, Lieuts. H. C. McNiel
and J. Whioter, jr., of mountod rifles, have re
signed and are m route, Sevoral other offi
cers ot high rank have tendered their resigna
tions and will be in soon.

Tho Navajoe war has boen concluded by
Col. Granby, and another expedition against
the Navajoes postponed. The troops at Forts
Bliss, Quitman, Davis, and Shadborne, have
coaaed to do duty, and are awaiting transpor
tation to leave at Fort Shadborne. The two
companies of Texas Rangers wore stationed,
and Camp Cooper was occupied by a like
forco.
Tho Quarter-Master’s department in New
Mexico was without funds and credit, and tho
pay department without money. The troops
will soon bo short of supplies of every descrip
tion, and will have to provide for themselves.
Thirty-nine guns were fired in this city last
night in honor of the vote in the Convention
against secession. There is greltt rejoicing
among the Union men.
Washington Citv,"March -JR—Much cu
riosity is manitostod respecting tho action
of the administration relative to the atlairs
in the South, and various rumors prevailed
in this connection, but information derived
from authentic sources warrant the asser
tion that whatever movements may be in
progress, they involve nothing of a hostile
design. <»n the contrary they are in the
direction of peace. t
