The Union City Convention, which assembled yesterday to place in nomi* nation a ticket for our approaching mu nicipal election, nominated for stayer, Henry A. Weaver, Esq ; for Controller, Wu. Little, Esq., and for Treasurer, John C. Lavitt, Esq. We doubt very much that if the city were searched most carefully, three more competent or trustworthy gentlemen oould be selected for the respective places named, than those who have re ceived these nominations. Mr. Weaver left the Mayor’s office only two years ago, with a reputation for energy and tact in the administration of his affairs unsurpassed by that of any of his predecessors. He made an admira ble chief magistrate and the people will be doing themselves a service by elect ing him again. Mr. Little, the nominee for Controller, is a gentleman of the highest adminis trative ability, whose character for integ rity is beyond suspicion. lie w«a* form erly Mayor of this city, having been elected as a citizens’ candidate over the late W. W. Irwin, since which time he has been devoting his time to mercantile pursuits. Mr. Little belongs to one of the old Pittsburgher's families, having been born within the bounds of the present tyty; his father cauie here, we believe, prior to the beginning of the present century. Mr. John C. Davitt is pretty much the same as Mr. Little; quiet, methodi cal and unobtrusive ; he is a mo;t admi rable accountant, and one of our most esteemed and worthy citizens. He, a few years ago, filled the offices of city and county Treasurer in a most satisfac tory manner, and if elected, will again prove himself a faithful public servant. Altogether, this ticket is beyond ques tion the Bhst we ever nominated for mu nicipal pl£ces, and should thepeople fail to endorse itat the polls, they will there by manifest an indifference to their put lie affairs unworthy of a vigilant and intelligent community. In conclusion, we submit the ticket to the careful con sideration of every class of our fellow* citizens, and in order to elect it we in voke their co-operation and support. JUDGE MELLON’S CHAHQE- A GLOOMY PICTURE. We published in the local depart meet of yesterday’s Post , a pretty full synopsi.- of Judge Mellon’s charge to the Grand Jury, but there are ooe or two points in it which we did not dwell upon, worthy of our gravest consideration. lu the meantime we would very earnestly rec ommend the reading ol this document to every citizen, for he will find in it matter which will attract universal at tention. The fact is demonstrated that unless something be speedily done to effect a settlement with those who hold the bonds of our county, we will by the end of next year be literally overwhelm ed with taxation. We infer from this charge of Judge Mellon’s that he sees no hope of escape from the payment of the interest upon these railroad bonds. He was, himself, prior to his elevatiou to the bench strong ly identified with the anti-tax party of this county, and wo presume he thinks now upon the abstract question of “tax ing people without their consent,”pretty milch as he did then. But this will not effect the question at issue, and he is evidently satisfied that we are legally bound for every dollar of the indebted* ness in question. More than this, he points out to us by the following extract that our railroad indebtedness is by for the most binding of our obligations. After alluding to the fact of the law au thorizing these bonds, h ving been de cided unconstitutional by two of the ablest Judges on the Supreme Bench; still it prevailed that the property of every citizen is liable for their payment. Judge Mellon proceeds to state: “But by another legal fiction, though it is hard to see why this debt is in itself go meritorious, it is placed far abovo all other debts. In most general or public corpora tions there is no individual liability, but these bondß are an incumbrance upon the property ol every individual citizen. If he remains within the limits of the county he is liable in his person and estate to the whole amount of the debt. It Is placed upon the high pedestal of revenue for tho support of tho government. It is made the sworn duty of your county officers to include it in their annual estimates, and lay it as a tax with other rates and livies for tax purposes. Indeed ll takes prece dence of rates and levies for the general government in the support of its present patriotic struggle. Tho law of the last session of Congress laid a tax of three per oent. on the excess of all incomes over eight hundred dollars, and a very consid erable amount of revenue would result to the government from this very source in this county, wore it not for the incubus of this railroad debt, and the position which has been assigned to it. “You have seen by the foregoing figures that it swallows up all incom . for the f resent from real estate or other property. t also takes precedence ol ail other incum brances. Ground rents and first mortgages must stand back till the bondholders’ claims are satisfied out of the fund. Aod if the property does not sell for enough to satisfy his claim In full, it can be sold over again4n'the hands of the purchaser to sat- ; fefy the arrearage, and may be Bold over j and over again, year after year, as often as 1 interest or principal falUdue.ontilthewhole ; is satisfied. Ho other incumbrance is c-n- ! dowed with such attributes; and noexemp- [ tion law protecU againat its rapacity. The tax gatherer may sell the blanket that pro* tectft your sick child from the storm, aid then lodge you in a cell in the county js.il. Such is the effect of holding such debt, to be estimated and collected as rates and levies for other tax purposes are collected; and here the necessity f-»r pr. mpt action, .0 obtain the best terms that may be had, or to redeem our liability to its minimum: and there is no occasion for reflections against the bondholder. It is not his fault that we are in such predicaruen’; ar.d it 'S natural and to he expected that h<* w;b take the mo.-t he can got bj his si-cun‘\, and Übo all the remedies wh’ch legislation has placed at his r iojMsai." We conclude from the reading of thi charge, that there is no escape- from the payment of this rail toad indebu-dm if there was, Judge Mellon is the man to discover it. There being no escape, let us try and make the burthen as light as possible by compromise first and vig orous settlement after. If we are bound to pay, the soonc-r we begin the better, and with these lew remarks we leave the suggestion of the ways and means to those whose interests in the question are far in advance of ours. case of a war with England the J’ress speculates that the land engage meDts would probably be in the extreme northeast, on the coast of Maine. In viewof this fact, we are gratified to lea:n that the hardy men on our Eastern fton tier are fully alive to the responsibility as well as the danger of their po-ition They are preparing to fortify their and to organize such a land force as would render invasion from Canada pow erless and abortive, The great mistake in the war of I Ml! was in making the attack mm Western Canada, and trusting the invasion of the Montreal aud Quebec region 10 m general, never in hearty sympathy wi’.h un* Northern expansion of the t r ni«*n, and whose animus in this regai d is tilt mg 5 .y reproduced by the service of his sin in the rebel army. The mistake in making the principal attack in one quarter, or selecting a general for the other, will not probably be repeated. K- r 0.. i t- ' i ! The Destituto of iroiand.

If Lord Lyons i-ss had two or three interviews with Secretary Seward, it dins not follow that they were for the purpose ot suggesting j ■: mode of treating the subject in ques tion, which should enure solely to the convenience of our government. It is certain that there are representatives of foreign governments here who think that the lequirement of England will be substantially like that spoken of abroad and will bo well nigh to a peremptory one. So too, it is thought, (notwith standing the sudden cooling down of politician?) that the President and Cab- inet will not consent to the liberation of Mes-is.
