OF PIIILAD ELPIIIA

OF FAYETTE COUNTY
THE MOOT OF WAY ACROSS PENN
STREET
The District Court has granted to the
Pittsburgh, .Fort Wayne and Chicago Rail.
road Company the . preliminary injunction to
restrain the Mayor, Aldermen and citizens of
Pittsburgh, from interfering to prevent the
Company from connecting its track with that of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. The voluminous
opinion of the Court ably reviews the relations
between the parties, and sets forth the rights
of each. The injunction was granted, the"
Company being required to enter into bonds
in the sum of $lO,OOO to abide the final de
cision of the Court. The Company can now
proceed to lay the track across Penn street,
without reference to the city authorities. The
matter it is understood will again come up for
argument during the 'term when the injuncg
tion, now preliminary, will either be made per
petual or dissolved.
This result is not different from what we
have all along anticipated. That the Corn ,
pany had a legal right under their charter to
make the crossing, we have never doubted,
and hence we have advocated that it was politic
for the City Councils to make,a contract with
the Company'as they had a right to do. This
decision of the Court does not take away this
right to make a contract, and the Company
always has been, and is still ready to agree to
any reasonable terms. We do not intend to
the :arguments which we have be
fore used, to show the eminent propriety of a
fair agreement between the city and the Rail
road Company. The Company is now as ever
ready to enter into any arrangement by which
the citizens way be hem:fitted, and the public
interest fully protected.-; If a mutual arrange%
ment is not entered into, no one who listened
to the very able opinion of -the Court, can
doubt that the injunction will ultimately be
made perpetual, and it is manifestly the policy
of the city to enter ir to such an arrangement.
Meantime the present action of the Court
will enable the company to complete the work,
and the city will no longer suffer in her in
terests as a stockholder, nor the trade be
driven away from the Pennsykania route by
the expense of transhipment and the danger
of injury to the goods caused by this break in
our great railroad chain.

Munroe Stewart. died last evening, at Pa. , sn
vant's Hospital, of small-pox. He has gone
before a tribunal which cannot err, to answer
for the deeds of his short life. What a sad
fate was his ! Convicted of a fearful crime of
which he was doubtless guiltless, sentenced to
an ignominious ckatli, and pardoned by a wise
and merciful interposition of the Executive,
hope had sprung up anew in his heart. The
prospect Of a new,, and we would fain hope a
better life, was-opening before him. He had
the satisfaction of knowing that he was par
doned because he was believed to be innocent
of the guilt of blood. From the beginning he
had had steadfastly and manfully persisted in
asserting his own innocence. Had the officer; of
the law deemed it consistent with their duty
to have discharged Stewart upon his pardon
by the Governor, he might perhaps have es
caped this untimely death by pestilence ; but
they did what they believed - to be their duty,
and no blame can rest with them. When
stricken with the terrible disease which has
caused his death, Sheriff Patterson took the
responsibility upon his own shoulders, and
caused the unfortunate man to be kindly and
skillfully cared for at the noble charitable in
stitution where he died. He has the satisfac
tion now of knowing that his manly kindness
and consideration for one who was " a
stranger, sick, and in prison," is fully appre
ciated by his fellow-citizens.
Providence, in its wisdom, has removed the
unfortunate man from the pains and penalties
of human law and human opinion. No earthly
tribunal can now affect him by its judgment.
Whatever may have been his faults, the last,
fearful year ,f his life has amply punished
them, and we would fain hope that He who
forgave the thief upon the cross, will pardon
the sins of Munroe Stewart.
Those who, with a singular pertinacity, arm
gued his guilt in spite of all the strong grounds
for supposing him innocent, may now be satin.
fled with the cold doctrine that the vengeance
of the Almighty has overtaken one whom
human law had treated with too great leniency.
Christian charity takes an opposite ground.
and says that if Stewart had been guilty of
murder a just God would not have ordained
that he should have died in his bed, free from
the bonds and bars of human laws.
A GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW
A bill has been introduced in the Senate of
the United States, for a General Bank!upt.
Law. It is suid to be free from the objections
of that beautiful enactment of 1841, and to
have the sanction cf the administration. The
New York merchants have issued a circuity
in favor of the enactment of a law of this
kind, which they style a"measure of a na
tional character, and dcwatded alike by eve
ry business community.' The features of the
proposed law have-not yet been made public ,
when they are, we shall speak of them again.
We remark, however, that the present
strikes us as a bad time to bring this subject
forward. After the revulsions of 1798 and
1837, &general bankrupt act was demanded,
and Congress passed such acts, leaning in ac
cordance with the sentiment of the day to the
debtor interest. Both acts were repudiated,
condemned and repLaled before theirlimitation
had expired. We have had another revulsion,
and again the debtor interest asks for relief.---
Many men lately actively engaged in busi
ness, are prostruttki, and SITIV act now framed
will be almost certain to be a bill for the relit
of deb - tors without a proper regard for the ins
terests of creditors. The question is one
which has two sides to it, and ought to be wt 11
considered. Something should be learned from
the experience of 1841. The law of that year
I F.elieved debtors of obligations, amounting b.,
Rome two hundred million dollars,und of cout:-e
creditors suffered to the same amount. ;.
judicious bankrupt law should equally regal d
;both the creditor and the debtor, The divi
{death from the estates of those who were
hw.bite washed" in 1841 amounted to a mere
song. The benefits, if benefits they were, were
on side, and the moral effect upon the
public was not good. If the same influences
are to produce thesame effects now, it would
better to let things remain as they are, and
take their natural course.
li; ARIOIIS THIIIGS
Rev. Horace H. Ila!pine, a Baptist clergy'
—The lime dealers of Philadelphia have fixed man, was recently committed to prison in
Boston, charged with stealing 185 volumes
from a bookstore. At the time of his ar
raingment Mr. H. waived examination,
choosing to make no defence. Parties present
in Court who were knowing to the fact that
the accused was a Baptist clergyman, were
surprised at his extraordinary conduct, in the
absence of any explanation on his part ; but
the following extract, which we copy from the
Nashua (N. H.) Telegraph, throws light upon
the subject
Mr. Halpine is well known here to be a vie

sane, his only uncle cow:tutted suicide in n. fit f
insanity, and we believe his only aunt also 1:e
insane. Several years ago he was slightly af
flicted with this terrible malady, but recovered
from it. He has always been regarded as highly
trustworthy. lie was employed as a clerk in the
Post Office here, under A. P. Hughes, ESq He
subsequently studied for the ministry, and was
once settled over the Free Will Baptist Church
in this city. He left his charge some two years
ago or more, since which we have heard very
little of him. During the winter he was so vio
lent at times as to compel his friends to send for
assistance to keep him from harm. We trust
measures taken to secure him a retreat iu in the
Asylum for the Insane, will be successful.

—The Baltimore Banks have agreed to estab

—The Supreme Court of New York have grant
ed a new trial to the boy Rodgers, the murdorer
of John Swanson. Though drunkenness is no
excuse for crime, yet the Court deemed it proper
that the Recorder should permit the question to
be put, as to the state of the prisoner's mind at
the time of the commisson of the act.
—The Post office at Potersville, Northampton
county, Pa., is restored to its former site, and
George W. Beers has been appointed Postmaster,
vice Elias Delter. At Parfyville, Carbon county,
Pa., Oliver 0. Bowman is appointed Postmaster,
vice James Anthony resigned.

of the Episcopal Church,) come out in fierce
denunciations of the revivals now going on

a great delusion— a profane extravagance,"
not to soy a blasphemous extravagance."
4131 TE NATURA.L.
The Black Republican newspapers are in
agonies of indignation, at the endorsement of
the administration, by the recent Democratic
Convention. It seems quite impossible to please
these factious gentlemen, and indeed no honest
Democrat expects to do it. They must have
setionalisms or nothing. Their ends and aims
are not national, and hence they cannot
expected to anything which is Democratic.
However as Toots would say " its of no con-
sequence."
AN EVtL TO BE REMED I ED
e have heard frequent complaints of the
expense incurred by parents in the purchase
of t 3 chonl books, and we have heard intimated
that new books] have; been adopted more for
the purpose of benefitting the publisher, and
author and bookseller, than the scholar. We
do not assert that this is the fact, but iu a
large city like this, where so many books are
used in the Public Schools, we think an an
rangement could easily be made by the School
Directors to supply the scholars with books
at wholesale cost prices, and it ought to he

The following is from the Roman correspond
ence of the Journal de Bruxelles: "The Vicar-
General's Department has just published a sta
tistical account of the population of Rome for
the year 1857. It would appear from this table
that Rqme has 54 parishes; and that in the capital
there are 38 Prelates, 1,351 Priests, 2,931 Pro
fessed Religious men, and 11936 Religious women
936 Seminarists, (Students for the Priesthood )
273 Dissenters from the Catholic Church ; among
which number is to he included the Protest
ant foreigners, but this is without including
the Jews, who have a quarter of their own : there
are 38,936 families, and in all a total of 179,952
inhabitants. There is, moreover, during the
winter and until after Easter, a floating popula-
Wien, which the last year amounted to 80,000 :
these of course are strangers and foreign visi
tors. At the time when the Holy See was,
during ancient political troubles, obliged to re•
side at Avignon, (in France,) the population of
Rome fell to 16,000 citizens. The Romans will,
therefore, clearly see the downward career which
would be likely to happen to their capital if ever
the Holy See should be transferred. The inex
haustible charity of Pius IX. has been again
manifested on the occasion of the terrible diem
ters arising from the earthquakes in the kinc
dom of Naples. The Minister of the Interior
has received, through Mgr. Ferreiri, Archbishop
of Sidon, Apostolic Nuncio at Naples, a sum
of 3,000 ducats from His Holiness, for the re
lief of the sufferers The Clicial Journal of the
two Sicilies testifies, in very affecting terms, its
gratitude for the parental solicitude of the Holy
Father, who not only has offered up fervent pray
ers to Heaven on behalf of the unfortunate pee
ple of the provinces of Basilicanta and the home
principality, but has also assisted the helpless
from his private means. The College for the
United States is in a fair way of progression ; an
authorized agent from the Bishops of the United
States is in Rome, and it would appear that Low

Rev. Doctor Eyzagnirri, of Chili, which State
of South America is in no way connected with
the United States, has given a sum of 30,000

America, the spirit of devotion still survives.

the decision of the local inspectors for the
district of Pittsburgh, by which your license as
an engineer has been revoked for neglecting to

sufficient penalty in your case for such neglect,

to a suspension of your license for the term of
three months from the 18th day of February
1858. The reasons that have governed me in

In Ohio, the regulations for the government

c. - immend to the attention of our County 'lll
- as worthy of adoption here :
Every prisoner shall w‘abh his entire person,
and change his under clothes once a week, and
pauper prisoners shall be provided with such
under and other clithing as may be necessary
for cleanline.s and health. And it shall b.: the
duty of the J:Lilor to cane the clothing of nil the
prisoners to he washed and cleansed as often as
may be necessary.

provided for each prisoner, the sheets of which
shall be changed at least once each week— and
the straw of beds shall be romoved twice in each
year, to wit: In April and Odtober and oftener,
if it betomes damp or fowl.
"The prisoner shall not he allowed to play any
game of hazard or chauco, u•or to use playing
cards."
The Or)gtnal ~ Punch."
In the days of King Philip, the Macedonian,
whenever a man told an extremely wittys , ,ory,
he was pretty cure to be met with the resuirk,
Ah that comes front the Sixty." It was as
much as doubting the originally of the wit.
•‘ The Sixty " was in fact, a club of wits. They
met in Athens—not at a tavern, but, in the temple
of Ile.rculee We should as soon expect to hear
of a cony: vial body of wits assembling every S..tur
day night in " Rowland Hilis chapel." They
were fellows who had the very highest opin
ion of their own abilities; for the,,y regularly
entered in a book all the witticisms'of the eve
ning. This was, probably, the very first j"et
hook ever put together. To listen to it, when
the secretary took it with hint to private parties
must have been an antepast of "Punch." The
precious book has perished, hut Athemeus has
preserved the names of a few of the members,
which, however, are not worth repeating, though
it may be stated that the owners had also nick
names; and one tall, clever nimble fellow, Cal
limines, was familiarly hailed by his fellow-club
bists, as " the Grasshopper." Philip lier..rd , of
this merry, social, witty company, and longing to
know more of them, their sayings and doings, he
did not, indeed, invite them to his distant court,
but he sent them a talent, (nearly two hundred
pounds sterling,) and requested the loan of the
last volume of the transactions of the " Sixty
Club." The book was duly dispatched : and,
perhaps the loan of',a volume was never paid for
at so high a rate: the authors thus played the
part of court fools by deputy. Their jokes were
stereotyped, and had a long and merry life of it.
It was useless for any man to fire one off as his
own ; for the source was instantly discovered, and
the company would derisively call out, " An of
Sixty !" just a dull retailer of faded jests are
suppressed, in our own day by the cry of " An
old Joe."
TITODIAS JEFFERSON S FATHER—HIS GREAT
STRENUTH. —Peter Jefferson's physique is de
scribed by Mr. Randall as follows:—He was a
man of gigantic stature—plain, and averse to
display—ho was grave, taciturn, slow to make,
and not over prompt to accept advances. Il e
was one of those calm and almost sternly self
relying men, who lean ou none—who desire help
from none. And he certainly had both muscles
and mind which could be trusted? He could
simultswously,"head up"—raise from their sides
to an upright position—two hogsheads,of tobac
co, weighing nearly a thousand pounds' apiece !
lie once directed three able bodied slaves to pull
down r a ruinous shed by means of a rope. After
they had again and again made the effort, he
bade them stand aside, seized the rope and drag
ged down the structure in au instant. Traditions
have come down of his continuing his lines as a
surveyor through savage wildernesses, after his
assistants had given out from famine and fatigue,
subsisting on the raw flesh of game, and even of
his carrying mules, when other food failed.
REMARKABLE WORKS OF HUMAN LABOR.-

NOT TO BE OUTDONE.—An Englishman and
Yankee were recently disputing, when the forwoi
sneeringly remarked : " Fortunately, the Amer
loans could go no further than the Pacific shore."
The Yankee scratched his prolific brain for an
instant, and thus triumphantly replied : " Why
good gracious I they're already levelling the
Rocky Mountains, and carting the dirt out West.
I had a letter last week from my cousin, who is
living 200 miles west of the Pacific shore-- oe

EMIGRATION.—The number of emigrants ar
rived at New York. from January Ist to March
3d, of this year, was only 4,757, which shows
a large falling off from the number, 10,211,
landed here during tha corresponding period of
1857. Vessels that, in prosporous;seasans, bring
from 300 to 600 emigrants, now Looms in with
scarcely more than 30. The rush will probably

THIRTY-eIFTEi CONGRESS
Mr. Mason moved a further consideration of the
bill for the relief of Commodore Jones.
His motion prevailed, and the bill was passed.
The Senate took up the Kansas bill, when Mr.
Hamlin said that no eniject of equal importance
had been under conaidera ., en since he had occupied
a seat in the Senate Ho regretted that it had been
made a party question, because there was no depot
ism nu outh like a party despotism. He had felt it,
but he thanked ..aod ho was a freeman now. In all
th• records of time but one act of similar turpitude
had ever been attempted. Ile had no eulogy to be
stow on the Union: it needs none; its eulogy was
writteu in the past. He then replied to the state.'
manta of 'Mr. Hammond, arranging his remarks
under three distinct heads: Ist. The faith of the
South, and the manner in which she kept it. 2d.
The capacity of the South for a separate .and dia.
tinet government. 3d. The character of the labor
ing masses of the North. He said that in speaking
to these points he should he compelled to use the
term South, put into his mouth by the Senator from
South Carolina, but in his heart he knew no N , rth,
no South, no East, no West. We are citizens of one
common coun_ry. The North mean to stick to the
Union ; they do not mean to go out of it, and neither
shall the South. lie denied that the North had over
broken its plighted faith, and ho was at a loss to
know what the phrase, the faith of the South, meant.
That aectiun had broken its legitimate faith with re
specs to the tariff by attempting to break down the
North after it had fitivested its capital in manufac-
tures. With referentali to Mr. liamtnond's question.
what guarantee has the South that the North will nt t
establish anofher National Bank, Mr. Hamlin replied
by asking andther question: What guarantee has the
North that the South will not saddle them with a
National Bank ? Indeed, he expected to see the day
when the South would seek protection in a tariff.
He then combatted at length the modern doctrine
promulgated by the South that the general govern
ment was founded on the principle of slavery, bat
which' ho contended, un the other hand, Watt au
abandonment of the principles of her fathers.
Proceeding to the Missouri Compromise question,
he said tat that was the work of the South, and
she.was jubilant over its success. The North merely
acquiesced. Who ropealed it, after reaping its bane
efits? The South --a fine instance of Southern faith.
Ho then reviewed the Dred SeJtt decision, treating
upon its many fallacies and incon *latencies, and say
ing in conclusion that the judges who gave it will
rank in infamy on the pages o: history with Jeffreys
In reviewing the history of the admission of Texas
into the Union, ho said that that State was admitted
on the basis of the Missouri Compromise, without
which it could not have been admitted. The North
was induced to vote for it because it was declared
that north of 36:30 there was territory in which she
could have throe free States. The South obliterated
that line in 1854, and was that good faith ? Ana-
lysing the present character of the Democratic party,
he said it was now in the leading strings of promi
nent Southern men. South Carolina had ruled out
Mr. Calhoun's resolutions offered in the days of com
promise, but, scouted from the Senate, they are now
the governing principles in Congress. Nullification
now reigned supreme in that party ; it has got the
Senate, the House, the President and the Supreme,
Court. The Democracy had even improved upon
these principles, and was about to declare, in passing
the Lecompton Constitution, that white men have no
majorities that they wore bound to respect. Mr.
Hamlin controverted Mr. Hammond's assertion that
there were more poor people in the North than in the
South, contending that in the latter, notwithstanding
the large number of its paupers that were thrown
upon the North, the poor people of the South still
preponderated. In support of this position he quoted
the opinions of Southern writers, including Mr.
Hammond himself. Ho next passed to the considera
tion of Mr. Hammond's assertion that the white la
borers of the North were slaves. He said that the
Senator quite misapprehended the character of the
Northern laborers. He, Mr. Hamlin, claimed t.) be
a laboring man ; he was educated in a printing office,
he now toiled in his fields, earning by the s.. eat of
his brow the food that he eats. Another Senator, his
friend, was also a laborer; they were representatives
of the laborers of the North.
Without concluding his speech, Mr. Hamlin gave
way to an executive session.
The House resumed the consideration of General
Quitman's Volunteer bill.
Mr. Faulkner was opposed to sending volunteers
ro Utah. He believed if they were placed at the die.
posal of the Executive he would find no occasion to
use them. lid thought the proposition to raise them,
dictated by outside pressure, rather than from con
victions of sound military policy. He contended
that the empl‘ yment of volunteers would be appeal
ing to the passions of the country, setting a prece
dent of carrying death and desolation to our own
citizens, prolific of most disastrous future conse
quences even to Utah. NV . a. this a war on account
of religion ? If so, whoever engaged in it, regular
or volunteer, would be guilty of murder. The Presi
dent has said that he did not want volunteers.
Pending the question, the House went into Corn
mittee of the Whole on the Appropriation bill.
Mr. Keitt, in discussing the constitutional p. , wer
to admit new States, defended his views of political
government, which are contrary to the views of some
of his friends. He believed that the people of Kan
sas cannot change the Constitution prior to 1864.
Mr. Clemens asked how Mr. Keitt reconciled that
declaration with the expression in another part of
the Lecompton Constitution that the people have the
right to alter that instrument.
Mr. Keitt replied that a general declaration in a
bill of rights is like a preamble, and is restricted by
the body of the bill itself. As to the admission of
Kansas, if the Republicans tell the Scuth that no
slave State shall hereafter be admitted into the
Union, they will shake every pillar of the political
Union. Should tuffs policy bo carried into effect, no
federal tax gatherer would ever again tread the
South. When the work of incendiarism, propagand
ism and revolution begins this Union will end, it may
be in flood.
Mr. English alluded to the assaalts upon the North
ern Democrats who voted fur the Kansas Nebraska
bill. They risked everything. He appealed to
Southern gentlemen whether they would for the sake
of a shadow, for an empty triumph, turn a deaf ear
to such friendly warnings as would enable Northern
Democrats to preserve the integrity of their party at
home. It is untrue that the Democrats in the non•
slaveholding States are opposed to the admission ea
any more slave States. He did not know one. Who
ever asserts to the contrary, grossly misrepresents
the Northern Democracy. He earnestly wished to
sustain the President on the Kansas question, and
hoped that something would turn up to enable him
to do so. Lecompton, he said, does not embody the
will of the people of Kansas; they don't want it fas
tened upon them. Why Caen attempt it? The Pres
ident had said that the Constitution should be sub
mitted to the people. While the friends of Lecomp•
ton uphold one doctrine, he, Mr. English, was for
carrying out what ho believed were correct princi
ples. If striken down for that, ho should retain his
self-respect, and have the high authority of the Pres
ident for falling in defence of correct principles.
EDs political record was not tainted with Free-soilism,
like that of Van Buren and Dix, and who are now
foremost in the advocacy of Lecompton. If all
reasonable compromises are voted down, he should
vote against the admission of Kansas under that
Constitution.
Mr. Phillips proceeded to show that the admission
of Kansas under Lecompton is regular, 4nd accord.. ,
ing to established principles. Ile recognized tho
President's dootrine, and also contended that it rao.

Hermann H. Heath, editor of the North- West

The Advisory Board appointed to prepare a code
of regulations for the naval service have made report
that they disagree on some reformatory measures,
chiefly in reference to the relative positions under the
law of disbursing and medical staff officers to t fficers
of the line. The representatives of the former on
board claim that they should be entitled to conside
ration as staff officers and that the regulations in
this respect should be similar to those of the army.
On these and other points two reports are submitted,
but with these exceptions the Board generally agree.
The Senate confirmed the nomination of Mr. Cook,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
From lef.amias.
Sr. Louts, March 9.—The Republican learns that
an attempt has been made to abduct the judges of
election to Delaware crossing to prevent thew from
giving evidence to Denver, as requested by Calhoun.
Isaac Mundee, one of the judges, was shot through
the head and killed. The clerks of the Shawnee
precinct are preparing a certificate under oath, stating
that they gave the testimony under threats of death.
A letter from Fort Scott says that that place bad
been taken by a company of Lane's mon, who wore
robbing the Stores and stealing horses.
The Leader learns from a gentleman from Kansas
that the Topekaites and 4nti Toppl.Faites at Leaven
worth quarreled concerning the policy to be pursued,
and two sets of candidates were nominated. The
Constitutional Convention Democrats make no nqmi
nations. The report that Lane issued a proclama
tion calling on the Free State militia to attack Wes
ton, Missouri, is discredited hero.
Abolition Convention.
ALBANY, March 9.—An Abolition Convention was
held here to-day. Rev. Samuel J. May was chosen
President. Resolutions adverting to the total aboli
tion of slaveiy, and condemning all other political
parties, were introduced. The Metubm - s of the Con
ventlon were equally divided between males and fe
males, and whites and blacks. Wendell Phillips
spoke during the afternoon and evening.

BALTIMORE, March 9.—The Methodist li;piscopai

in part to disabuse the public mind on tho question

Messrs. Fl-ming Bros:-1 reel it my duty to make the tel
lowing statement Several of my children have been un.
well for the last week or two. I called at the " Bto Meares'
to got sumo 011 of Wormaeed and other truck, to give them
for worms. The r.ruggist recommended M'Lane.t reititifuge.
pre n iared by you, but having heretofore, tried every Vernii
fuge, in my knowing, without advantage, 1 told h m It we.,
not worth while, as my children appeared proof against theca
all. He said to take a bottle, and offered if it done no good
to refund the money. To satisfy him 1 done so, and the cf.
feet was .30 much better than expected that I got another
bottle, and the result was most astonishing. Three of m ,
children discharged a great number of the largest worms I
ever saw. To a young man, my Mail Carrier, who wee
w, ak, pito) , and poor ai a snake, for a month or so, I gave
two d..ses, which brow' t from him at treat a pint of what
is called stomach wormal Strange as this may appear, ye:
it Is as true as preaching. ' Dow the boy stood it, so long
as he did, with ten thosand `• Burs gnawing at h s stout
ach, Is the greatert wonder to me. All these Cases are now
doing well. No doubt the lives of thousands of children
have been saved by the timely use of this exeraordluary
medicine. Don't fail to give it a trial.
