PILMIDIDIT. AMES BUCIFIALNAN kw, to the decision of a-fiattonal Convention. Am MORNING POST. The Rail Road. Vise• course the Councils will pursue in Tigar'd ref the subscription of 300,000 dot, tars to she Connellavide Raid Road, is pre %dug -snuck discussion, and no little an gry feeling is manifested towards our city legislators fur the action they seem incli ned to take in the matter. We are by no means disposed to approve the conduct of certain four cotemporat les, who denounce the members of Councils as "traitors" and 4 .!picayano" rulers, but we do not think their proceedings in this business hay e been marked with that wisdom and fore thought which we had a right to expect from men to whom the great interests of this great city are cor.fided. When the question of subscribing 8300,000 by the city was first proposed, the CoOn oils (very prudently, we think) declined to take so , imp trtant a step, without, first ob taining a vote of tho people upon it. For tbispurpose, a law was it urrie.l throngh I the Councils, providing for an andl appropiiating notary to pay the tXpenses of holding it. From the moment it was known the election woad be held, spec ulation was rife, as to the nature and effect of the vote to be taken. -It was strongly urged that according to the law under which the vote was order-A, a majorityof all the taxables was necessary to author ize the tax; this idea has beet' eagerly seised upon by the opo-ortits of the project, who declare that the only way to a Kermit) what is a majority, is to refer to the collectors' duplicates. This, and many other equally frivolous excuses for setting aside the plainly expressed wish of the people at the polls, have keen em tertained by the Councils, and now they propose to incur further expense by obtain ing "legal advice" as to the "validity of the election" held under their own ordinance! It was proposed. at the last melting of Councils to appoint a committee to pioeure the opinions of gentlemen "learned in the law," on this point, but the subject was postponed at the instance of Mr Lytle. If • carried out, the city will be put to a cost of some hundreds cf dollars fur legal opinions. and after all the Councils will, decide on their:portion just as the majority may stand affeeted to the rail-road. If the will of the peeple, fairly expressed at the polls, does not-.afford sufficient light and authority to move its the bosittess, will a legal opinion have more force? Does any one suppose that a law argument in favor of the binding'" force of the late election, will induce those Councilmen unftiendly to taking stock, to vote in favor of it? Or will any -member of the Council, who recognizes the force of the late election,be influenced by a mere legal Opinion to thwart what he believes to be the will of the people? The voice of the people was never more clearly and indubitably expressed. on any question, than it bas been in favor of this Rail Road—we cannot see the !seat room for' cavil or hesitation in the matter.— There is but one obstacle to the immediate subscription of the stock by the city, and that is the want of a sufficient amount , of individual subscriptions to complete the road. *lt is pretty well settled, we believe, that the work will not cost more than $600,000. Of this the city of Pittsburgh will take $300,000, and Allegheny $lOO. 000. If individuls will come forward and take the remaining $200,000, and thus se.. cure - the completion of the road, the duty of Cool:mils-is plain—they require no legal , opinion to tell them t 3 take the stock, and levy the tax. The majority of 589 at the late election settles that matter. The truth coming out.--Tbe Spirit of the Age says that the bravado that stands atthe head of the Chronicle, setting forth its immense circulation, is not true, and calls .00 the publisher to pull it down, us it is calculated to mislead the public. As Foster was one ofthe editors of the Chron• isle when the boasting paragraph was in. sorted, the public will be puzzled to know which of his statements to believe, the one made whiles engaged by Mr Berford, for the purpose of injuring cotemporary jour nals, or that which he now puts forth with the hope of drawing off a portion of the patronage of his former employer. The Chronicle denies the statement of the Age, and says that since Mr Foster withdrew from the establishment, it has had a great incteese of patronage. 4 V W.U.

On Saturday we made a proposition to the editor of the• Gazette, which he could have complied with easily, if he and bis party were as innocent in this matter as he attempts to make the public believe they are. But the Deacon has carefully avoided even referring to our fair offer _and tries to back out of the difficulty- by doubting - the varacity of our informant, and objecting to our mode of making the question easy for his answers, by ref:rring specially to one district. To the Deacon's confusion we will state, that all the iaformation we re ceived on the subject was derived from an antirnasonic sourer; and if he objects to the limits in which we confined the enquiry on Saturday, we will now ask him to carry his itivestization into every antimasonic township iiithe:ronnty, alid if he c:ni then say Cllll6 l ietiiii.tio). that the antiTriaeona had ! no pau in circulating the handbills, and 1 - did not vote against a portion of the Union Iticket last fall, we will ho ready to c maid- er his questions. Now, Deacon, we wait for your attempt to clear the antimasonic party of this charge. Let the gentlemen in Wilkins, to whom we have refered, authorize you to say that they do not know that such hand bills wore circulated in the township, an d as you seem to regard one township as be • ing too small for youCconsideration, get the leaders in the other antimasottio districts to make the same denial, an.l will, this tes- timooy of the innocence of your party. properly cm roborated, you may be able to clear yourself of the charge of treachery. But we can assure you that yout present bungling attempts to do.lge the difficulty, are unly fastening the conviction of your own guilt more firmly in the public mind.

He is supposed to have been ono of the men who robbed a gen tlemen of $2,200 in gold, on the steamboat Vicksburg, on the night of her arrival at this place about a week ago. The rob bers jumped ovetboard,„ from the after guards of the baat, with the inter►tion of swimming ashore with their booty, but it seems that one of theal, at least, did not succeed.
