JOHN BIGLER, EDIIOR
PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY JULY 29, 1895
far The compositor made a very ridiculbEs blun
der in putting the following in type, which was dis
coveted too late for correction in yesterday's Post.
We therefore, after correction, re-publish to-day.
ANOTHER EELOGIUM.—It gives us great pleasure,
stays the Washington Union of Friday. to lay before
ourreaders the eulogium in honor of general Jackson,
which was delivered at l'ittsburgh on the 17th instant
by Wilson McCandless. It is worthy of the subject,
and worthy of the orator himself, who fill, a consider
hie space in the eyes of the people of Pennsylvania.
Mr McCandless was the president of the college of
electors. who cnst their vote for Mr Polk. on the 4th
of December.
MR BRACKEN rtiDGCs LETTER.—The letier of Mr.
Blackemiagr, Lich appeared in the Gazette, a day
or two after wo took possession of the editorial chair,
!Leaped Our notice al the time, ur it would have re
ceived prompt attemii.n.
We have examined it cnrefully, and (-tin find in it ne
direct assurance that lie w ill, if elected, favor the ter
mination of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road at
Pittsburgh. He soy':
"My interest, like that of other farmers uif Alle
gheny county, consists in having a good market for
my corn. wheat and oats, and as Pittsburgh is my
tnnrket, whatever tends to increase or retard her
growth or prosperity, must benefit or injure me.
It is the circumstance of Pittsburgh being the head
of navigation. which gives value and importance to
our canal, in the shipment cf produce and merchan:
dize to the East and West. But in my opinion, there
will be employment enough for all the railways and
canals, when we lake jaw view the gigantic strides in
improvement and population of the vast region which
lies beyond us. In ten years, the lines cf transporta
tion and travel, will hardly suffice even with the ad
dition of the railway from New York to the Alleghe
ny, and a continuous Railway from Philadelphia.
111 had not been friendly to the railway, I shou:tl
not have accepted a nomination from the convention,
which, at the same time, passed a unanimous resolu
tion in its favor."
Examine the quotation closely end its evasiveness
is very remarkable- He does not plegde himself to
tote for a bill giving the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road right of way through our State to Pittsburgh, but
be evades a pledge by referring to his own interests,
as being indrintified with Pittsburgh, and intimates
that if unfriendly to the Rail Road he would not have
accepted the nomination. The fact that his own in
terests are inimical to the Rail Road measure, is one
ground upon which his fidelity to it is rendered ques
tionable. The answer of Mr Brackenridge is any
thing but satisfactory, and such we are well assured
will be the verdict of the people upon it. The G:l7-
eue published the letter, without one word of com
ment. What better reason can be assigned for the
silence of our neighbor than the fact that the commu
nication of the Judge is regardrd by him qs evasive
and dubious in its character.
But, there are other reasons, why Mr Brackenridge
is just the man that ought not to be sent to Harris
burgh. To one of these we will now direct the at
tention of the people. Between Mr Brackenridge
and Mr M'Lean, the President, and we might add,
the master spirit of this Rail Road company, there
exists the bitterest hostility. Mr M'Lean, it will be
remembered, was Gen Jackson's Secretary of Smte,
at the time Mr Bracken' idge was superseded as Dis•
trict Judge of Florida. It would appear that Judge
BRACKENRIDGE retained possession ofsome '•volumes
of reports." which ought to have been delivered t o
his successor. Mr M'Lean, as in duty bound, direct
ed Mr. Breckenridge, to deliver the books in ques
tion to his successor, and in his letter, cited the act
of Congress of 13'27, which declares, "that in case
•of death, resignation or dismissal from office," all
books, &c. shall be delivered to the person appointed
to fill the vacancy. Mr. Brackenridge in reply de
dares that "the law is silent, as to the corrupt re
fusal of the President to renew the commission.--
!President Jackson refused to "renew" his commis
sion, and the duties of the office devolved upon anoth
er person, tet we find Judge Brackenridg, , setting up
a claim to a few volumes of Peter's Reports, upon a
mete quibble, destitute of point or bearing. his
ktter to Mr. M`Lane concludes thus: "1 do not
believe that there has been any instance of a Judge
delivering to hissuccessor the copy of Peter's Reports,
transmitted to him by your Department; and I deny
that any Judge has delivered books to his stic;rs:or,
which the law did not require him to deliver." The
letter bears date, Tarentum, l'enn'a Sept. 28, 1893
We refer to this fact to show that .Mr. NFLenn did
not act in the matter, until he ascartained that Judge
Brackenridge had left Florida, and token up his resi
dence near Ibis city, and still retained in his posses
sion, the books which he had received as Judge—
which books were the property of the United States,
and should have been surrend, red to his successor in
office.
The conduct of Judge Brackenridge was certainly
not calculated to give him chat acter a ith Mr McLean.
and it is not presumable, after what has passed be•
tween them, that Mr McLean would confer with
Judge Brackenridge upon any sidiject. Why then
should we jeopaid so important an interest as the
- Rail Road, by the election of a man so well calculated
,to embarrass action upon the question.
If disposed to say hard things, we might now ex
claitn, as did the Gazette, of 28th Sept., 1843, in re
marking upon the Judge's reply to the letter of Gen•
Jackson:
'•What shamelcss inconsistency, perveNinn, and
fnlsehood, i 4 here exhibited. Whitt man of honor,
with these facts before him, will vote for Judge Brack
toridge."
ANNE:SAI'ION or TEX 4 I.—Quite a number of the
whig papers of the courtly, continuelierce in their op
position to the annexation of Texas, notwithstanding,
it has received the solemn -sanction of both Gov ;
ernments. Among; the number the "Commercial
Journal" of this city, the new organ'of the whig pally
proper, of this county, stands conspicuous, in bitter
hostility to the measure. We can assure the editor
that he might us %sell attempt to hurl Coal Hill into
the Gulf of Mexico, as to unsettle the public mind on
the Texas question. The mea s ure of annexation is
now, comparatively without otirionithts— a careful ex
amination of the subject, and the impudent interfe
ence of the British and French Ministers, thoroughly
united the people in support of Annexation.
We never, for a single hour, doubted the propriety
or impotance of annexation; careful investigation of
the question, greatly increased our confidence in its
justice to all concerned, as well as its intimate con
nection with the future glory and prosperity of both
Countries. We regarded "the Annexation of Texas,"
"as important in a public point of view to the United
States, as was the acquisition of Louisiana, by Mr.
Jefferson, and that the same principles that sanction
ed the acquisition of Louisiana, in the opinion of that
wise and sagacious statesman and patriot, are appli
cable to the acquisition of Texas."
THE QUEBEC FlaEs.—The last "Nlontreal Herald"
contains a mop i.f Quebec showing the districts de
stroyed by the two great fires. It is frightful to look
ar. Nearly three (ratters of a fine town are now a
blackened heap of ruins. The particulars of the de
struction caused by the two fires are as follows:
Streets destroyed. Houses burnt. Blown up
On 28th May, 33 1630
On 28th June, 33 1302 13
The population rendered destitute by the two fires
is estimated at not lets than 20,000 souls. If corr_
pared with other calamities of a like nature, says the
Herald, we suspect that Quebec has suffered more pro.
pottionally than any city of which we have any ac
count.
In the great fire a London, in 1066, there tr as 13,•
200 houses burnt and property amounting to .*:10.720,-
000 destroyed. In the fire in liamburgh in May,
1842, the property destroyed was estimated at about
£4,000.000; the number of houses liana ue do not
recollect, bat it WIIR stated at the titan that 30 000
persons out of a population of 120,000 were rendered

In (4 , tekee the whole population did not e coed 35,-

SINGUL A rt.—A gentleman recen•lv took into lb
diligence, between Marseilles and Toulon, a vessel of
leeches, which were not well secured at the top. The
creatures soon sallied forth in quest ..fitarid. Sudden
ly piercing cries were heard from a young lady, who ,
unaware of the blood-thirsty passengers which ha.l
been placed in the carriage. declared she was
seized with acute pains as if punctured with lances.—
Thonih she continued her cries, delicacy prevented her
from permitting any passenger to ascertain the cause
of het uneasiness. A detachment of the, leeche,
however. had gnoe further to fare worse, for they Earl
fixed on the legs of a stout elderly gentleman, who,
less fastidious than the fair one, at once uncovered and
ascertained the enuse. The rhiligrrice was stopped,
and the young. lady taken to the nearest house, where
he was relieved from her unplea s ant companions.

Cam' The author of a pamphlet recently publish , d
in England, states that the soil of that country which
the year 1775 belonged to about 240.000 proprietors,
in 1815 was owned by about 30,000, and that there
is every reason to believe that this process of accum
ulation in the hands of a few, has been going on with
equal rapidity from 1815 to the present time.
SARCAM.—The Cleveland Plain Dealer, in te
ottrking upon an indigntoion meeting held in that
city recently, sous:—"We excuse Nlr. Foot because
we know that he nets Fa) "conscientiously: . and al-
wn3s under such n ponderous "sense of duty" that he
lieldorn knows wltether he is right or wrong."

Gambling in France.—"T he rage for gambling."
says the National, •'haa aastimed gigantic proportions.
It has not only seized !.outig people, but men occupying
places usually held io be sacred indulge in that dan
geruo. passion with phrenzy. We have been told that
a certain noinry lately lost in one night, the sum of
£3OOO Esety night companies meet at some of the
first-rate restaurateurs in Puns, for the purpose of
gambling, where the losses amount frequently to 5,000,
and even 50,000 francs.
"Wbut would our wives say if they knew where we
are?" asked the captain of a "down etw." schooner
when they were out in a thick fog, fearful of going
ashore. "Humph! I would not mind that," replied
the mate, '•if we only k mew where we were ourselves."
WOMEN IN THE NINETEENTH CI.:NTERY.—The
only way in which any good can be rendered to society,
says one of the moderns. is by making woman more
woroonly, and man inure manly. To make saws of
women and milliners of men, is to have imperfect
sailors and imperfect milliners. The difference be
tween the sexes in this country is all in favor of the
women; the law of courtesy grants them everything,
and the law of the land gives them more than they
could ask. No change can bring them any good, or
at least no greater privileges than what they enjoy at
present. Men labor for little else than to muke wo-
men happy; the cream of every enjoyment is skimmed
for their express use, while the sour milk is drank
by their lords.

LETTER FROM MR. BRYANT
Nothing can he more striking to one who is eleUdtoM
eil to the little enclosures called public parks, in our
American chins, than the spacious open grounds of
London. I doubt, in fact, whether any person fully
comprehends theirextent, from any of the ordinary de
scriptions of diem, until he has seen them or tried to
walk over them. Yuu begin at the East end, at Saint
James's Park, and proceed alongits walks and its col
umnadea ofold trees, its thickets of ornamental shrubs
carefully enclosed, its grass plots maintained in per
petual freshness and verdure by rho moist climate and
the ever dropping skies, its artificial sheets of water
covered it ith aquatic birds of the most beautiful rips
cies, until you begin to wonder the park has n Western
extremity. You reach it at last and proceed between
the green fields of Constitution Hill, when you find
yourself at the corner of Hyde Park a much more spa
cious pleasure ground.
You proceed westwardly in Hyde Park until you are
weary, when you find yourself on the verge of Ken
sington Gardens, a vast extent of ancient woods and
intervening lawns, to which the eye sees no limit, and
in whose walks it seernes as if the population of Lon
don might lose itself. North of Hyde Park, after pas
sing a few streets, you reach the great square of Re
gent's Park, where, as you stand at one boundary the
oilier is ahnost 'indistinguishable in the dull London
ntrnospliere. North of this pork rises Print ose Hill,
a bare, grassy eminence, which I hear has been pur
chivied for a public ground, nnd will be planted with
tree.. All arousid these immense enclosures, presses
the densest population of the eiyilzed world. Within,
such is their extent, is a fresh and pure atmosphere,
and the odtits of plows and flew ers, and the twit
ter ing of innumerable birds more musical than those
or our own wools, which build riot rear their young
here, and the horn of insects in the sunshine. W ith-
Oil( are close and crowded streets, swarming with foot
passengers, nnd choked with drays and carriages.
These pails., have been called the lungs of London,
and Al important ni e they regru dent to the public health
end the happiness of the people, that I believe a pro
posal to dispense with some part of their extent, and
Icoser it it ith streets nnd houses, would be regarded
ur niecli the same manner /I.la proposal to hang every
tenth man in London. '1 hey will probably remain
public grounds as long as Loreldn has an existence.
The popll'atii)ll of your cite, increasing with such
pr di nos rapidity: your sultry summers, and the cor
'
rapt atmosphere generated in liiit and crowded streets,
make it a cause of regret that in laving nut New Yuri:,
no preparation was nitric, while it was yet practice

New Sperm, Lard and Pine Oil Lamp Store.
TH E subscribers having opened a store, No 8,
St Clair street, (west side) for the sale of Lampi
Oils, &c., respectfully invite the attention of the in
habitants of Pittsburgh, Allegheny and the surround
ing country generally, to 'heir stock of Lamps, before
purchasing elsewhere. Our arrangements with the 0
manufacturs are such that we can safely say, we are
prepared to light in the most brilliant and eeononti
cal manner, Steamboats, Hotels, Public Halle,
Churches, Stores. Shops, Parlors, Bridget, aiei
Streets, as well as the more "dark and benighted cite- •
ners, or any place where brilliancy, neatness and strict
econemy is desired. Among our means for letting our
"light shine," may be found the following Lamps for
burning Lard, Lard Oil and Sperm Oil, viz:
Hanging Lamps and Chandeliers, (2 to 4 brancb)
For lighting Stores, Public Hulls, Churches, Hovels
_,
and stenmhoats.
Stand and Centre Table Lamps, (various patterns
and prices,) for Parlors.
Reading and Wo:k Lamps.
Side and Wall Lamps, Glass and Tin Hata Loral* .
&c &c.
The above are mostly Dyott's Patent Lamps, 144,6„ ..3. ,
double shelled fountain, and otherwise an improve..
ment upon any lamp now in use, which can be per+:.
ceived at once by examination. Also, glass Trimmings.
for lamps, such as Globes. Chimneys, Wicks, &c.
LAST, THOUGH NOT LEAST.
Dvott's Patent Pine Oil Lamps, such as Hanging
lamps and Chandeliers, (2 to 6 branch )
Stand and Centre Tattle Lumps, (Glass Fron:S
or without drops,) Street lamps for lighting loreets
and bridges.
As we cannot daAcribe the various patterns, we cor
dially invite the public to examine them. We affirm
Ora in brilliance, cleanliness and economy, ne light
now in use will bear - comparison with these lamps and
Pine Oil. Th. y are as safe to use as sperm or Lard.
oil. Although some are endeavoring to identify this
article with the old camphine and spirit gas, (by the
use of which accidents have occurred,) we assert this
to be awn her and rlifferen article. and that no accidents.
have occurred during the extensive use of this article
in Philadelphia for feur years.
These Lamps will produce as much light, with as
much neatness and more brilliancy, and 23 per cent.
less than any other light now in use; not excepting
Gas.
If any one doubts statements we have,or may here
after make, we would say..me have commenced one
business in Pittsburgh, and knowing the merits of the
articles we offer to the public, we are wilting to hold
ourselves accountable at all times for our statements, -
and are willing to put to test nor Lamp—dollars and
cents,—testing economy—and the pnbli•: decided on
the neatness and brilliancy of theAight.
We have many testimonials from residents of Phila
delphia and elsewhere, but the following may suffice
for the p-esent. •
This is to certify that I have purchased of M. B.
Dyott a sufficient number ofhis Patent Pine Oil Lamps'
to light the Universalist Church of Philadelphia, and
have used them in said Church about two years. I
have found them to give perfect satisfactioa. The
light produced by them is the most brilliant that I
have ever peen. They are so economical that the cost
of the Lamps has been paved several times over; the
lighting up of the Church not costing half as much as
it did before we procure them.
Respectfully, JOHN DESSALET,
Secretary of the above named Church.
Philadelphia, July 8, 1845.
The undersigned having used for two years nyott's
P:ttent Pine Oil Lamps in his Hotel, the Boliver
House, can recommend them fig the m7iTti economical
and brilliant light that can be pioduced by any arti
cle now in use. Before I commenced lighting my
house with the Pine Oil, I was using the Gas; but af
ter a trial of the above Lamps, I was so much plea
sed with the light. and convinced of their economy,
that I had the Gas removed and burn the Pine Oilin
its place. WM. CA RLF.S,

ALLEGHENY CITY, July 12, 1845.
This may certify that we, the undersigned, having
used fm-some months, Dynes Patent Pine Oil Lamps, ;-
can with the fullest confidence recommend them,
producing the most brilliantand economical light we..
have ever seen, They are simple in their structure,
and easily taken care of, and we believe them as safe
light as can be produced from any other Lamp, and
much cheaper than any other kind of Oil.
