CONGRESSL EN
The next Congress will have the disposal
of - a great number of the most important
national questions, and may perhaps be called
upon to elect a President of the United States;
in case there should be no election by the
people. In every point of view, it is most
important for the Democratic party to secure
the next Congress, for a failure to do so,
would greatly impair the Democratic strength
in the campaign of 1860. I t behooves the De
mocracy at the coming election, to put forth
all their power, and centralize every energy
in the Congressional elections. We do not ap
prebend that in Pennsylvania, there will b, any
serious change in the Democratic Congression•
al representation. With proper effort, the De•
mocracy can certainly elect their candidates in
most if not all the districts now represented
by Democrats. In the Twenty-First and
Twenty-Second Districts, an opportunity is
afforded to the Democracy to elect two Con
gressmen, in place of the present Blaek Re
publican delegation from these districts.—
The nominees of the opposition are weak,
and in many respects obnoxious to a large
portion of the members of their own party.
They feel and know their weakness, and are
trembling in their shoes, at the prospect
which the Democracy has of sue,.. ,, edinff, in
defeating them Their ranks are divided
while ours are united.
We can do ourselves the honor 01 being,
represented by Democrats 'in the , next C,n.
gress, if we will. Let us work and do it.—
Although our Convention refused to acknowl
edge its existence, there is a vitality, and an
unswerving adherence to our great national
principles in the Democratic party of these
districts, which, at the coming election, will
make itself seen end heard and known in
spite of all attempts to smother it under a sin
gle local issue—one of great importance to our
own citizens—but as compared with the great
national issues for which the party contends'
an issue of but secondary importance to the
Democratic organization.
Let the Democracy of Allegheny county
keep in view the fact that they are part and
parcel of the great Democratic party of the
country, which has principles to contend for,
and important national objects to forward
and sustain. Let them elect their Congress-
men in this view of their position. Thus will
'they do lonor to themselves, and by defeating
the opposition candidates in this stronghold
of Republicanism, gain a most important ad
vantage for Pennsylvania in the approaching
contest for the Presidency. The moral force
of a Democratic victory for Congress, in the
Twenty-first and Twenty-second Districts of
Pennsylvania, would be felt in all the north
ern States of the Union. We hope and be
lieve that we shall be able to record such a
victory.

Ever since the Kilkenny eats had their cel

easily stirred up to fights and riots. A Dub
lin telegram says that serious riots have re
cently broken Out at this place, and that infu
riated mobs are traversing the country,
smashing reaping and other agricultural ma.
chines', and assailing their owners. The mag
istrates held a meeting and resolved to peti•
tion the government for an additional police
and military force. Soldiers were subsequent
ly sent to Kilkenny,'and at the latest dates
tranquility prevailed.

BOLnnuAl Meeting of the Stock:hald.
ens of the Pittsburgh, Port Wayne and
Chicago Railroad Company.
The regular semi=annual meeting of the
stockholders in the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad was held at the Board
of Trade Rooms, on Wednesday afternoon,
pursuant to announcement. The number of
stockholders in attendance was smaller than
at the annual meetings, when officers are
elected, but fully as grt,st as is usual at semi,
2 1858
annual meetings.
The meeting was organized at half past
two o'clock, when, on motion of George W.
Cass, Esq , Kent Jervis, Esq., of Massilon,
Ohio, was called to the chair, and Mr. Au•
gustus Bradley, Secretary of the Company,
was selected as Secretary.
The first business of the meeting was the
reading of the semi-annual report of the Di,
rectors of the Company, for the six months
ending June 30th, 185 g. The report was
read by the Secretary of the meeting, on mo
tion of Mr. Cass.. We give an abstract of
the report
The Directors set forth thata contract has been
entered into_ with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, to furnish all the "chairs, spikes,
frogs and switches necessary to complete the
road into Chicago." The contract is a fair and
liberal one. Over four thousand tons of rails
have been delivered under the contract, and are
being carried out upon the line of the road.
The Directors believe the lasi rail will be laid by
the last of Ootober.
They also report that arrangements have keen
made by which the Company will be assured the
right of way into Chicago, where a Union De
pot, in the heart cf the city, will accommodate
nearly all the roads entering Chicago.
A large portion of the road between ('restline
and Fort Wayne, which, at the time of the last
annual report, was in poor condition and unbal
lasted, is now being put in good order, and it is
expected that it will be complete.? early in No
vember.
The earnings of the Road during the first six
months of the year wore small— too small for
the capital invested 7 -but the Board believe that
when the road is completed this will not be the
case
They believe that t he road must be completed
on a basis of solid capital and not pressing debt,
before it can meet the expectations of its friends
and proprietors.
In conclusion, they urge every share-holder
to use his influence whenever he can to hasten
the funding of the floating debt, as dividends
and the profits of the working of the road depend
to some extent on that event.
The report of the Examining Committee,
the substance of which we give below, was
then read :
The committee report that they have examined
the books and accounts of the Company, and are
not only convinced that they are correct, but
that the system of checks and counter cheeks
between the several departments, gives perfect
security against errors or frauds.
They regard the system of keeping and ren
dering the accounts of the Company as simple
and comprehensive. exhibiting its affairs clearly
and accurately, and they believe that great credit
k due t';e Auditor for his zeal and ability in in
stituting the same.
They are also of opinion that much of the
present general distrust against railroad comps
nice is both directly and indirectly the result of
an imperfect system of accounts, whereby the
managers are preveoted not only from stating
the affairs of compemies with satisfactory accu
racy, but also from a rant of a detailed know
ledge in regard to the different departments of
service, are prevented from managing the busi
ness with that care and economy which is so es
sential to success
In conclusion, they express to the shareholck
ere their entire F&tisfv.cticn regarding the ac
counts of the company; and their thanks to the
Auditor and hie asaistKits for the courtesy and
aid extended to them in prosecuting the examl•
nation above referred to
The Auditor's Report emt,raccs a large
amount of statistical matter, too long for pub
lication. The reading of the tables was dis
pensed with. Those interested will find the
report at the office of the Company.
Major Willock asked for the reading of
the following ; and asked fur an esplana
tion
CaI:TON, 0 , Augualtio,S.
Echt,,r True "-Irma :—The officers of Che Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne, and Chicago Railroad have
circulars to the eteckithlders, inviting them
to attend the aemiannual meeting to-morrow—
but refuse to carry them over the road unless
they pay full fare. If this is done for the par
pcse cf increasing the receipts of the road,
would it not bee good plan to call such meetings
.very week ?
Mr. Willock moved that stockholders be
allowed to pass over the road, to and from all
meetings on business of the road, free.
J. Edgar Thomson, Esq. President of the
road, opposed the passage of the resolution,
and thought the resolution allowing them to
pass free to annual meetings should be re ,
scinded.
Gen. Robinson agreed with Mr. Thomson.
He thought the free pass system was much
abused, and bad been detrimental to the in
terests of the road.
Dr. Metzger, a gentleman from the country,
said if the whole dead head " system was
abolished, he would not object to paying his
fare, but if it was to be kept up, he thought
passes should be extended to stockholders in
the road while traveling on the business of
the road.
Mr. Hutchinson agreed with the last speak
er, and thought a good deal of gouging "
had been done in this matter.
Mr. Dill was astonished to think that men
of intellect should say that the owners should
be obliged to pay for coming to attend to
their own business, while A, B, and C, with
no interest in the road, passed free.
Mr. Larwill thought the system of free
passes had been extended too far. He had
not supposed that the resolution passed at
the last annual meeting applied to the semi
annual meetings of the stockholders. He be.
that the passing of steamboat Captains
and clergymen was a pecuniary benefit to the
Company. The latter frequently passed over
the roads with their families at half fare,
which they would not do if obliged to pay
full fare. The former sent a large business
over the road, and it was to the interest of
stockholders to pass them free.
Mr. Dill endeavored to explain the reason
why the road was about being taken out of
the hands of the stockholders, and he thought
they had been served right, if they would
stand by and see the road fleeced by high
salaries and high contracts. It they allowed
their interests to be neglected in this way,
they did not deserve to pass over the road
without paying their fare.
M. Hutchinson followed in a similar strain
Mr. Street, of Columbiana, offered the fol
lowing as a subtitute
Re4oive4, That the Directors of the Pittsburgh,
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad be instructed
to prohibit, from this time forward, all free
pse.ses, except to those working the read and the
•ckbolders, at their annual meetings.
Major lock accepted the substitute
offered, and wthdraw his original resolution .
It was moved to, strike out " and the stock,
holders at their annual meeting."
Mr. Larwill thought it would be well to let
the matter rest for six months, and therefore
moved to lay the resolution on the table.
Mr. Cass thought the stockholders, in in
terfering with the free pass system, were
meddling with edged tools, whieh they did
not understand, and that it would be better
to leave the matter in the hands of the Pres
ident. He therefore urged that the resolu
tion be laid en the table, which was done by
a large majority.
Mr. Can, moved that the chair appoint an

()N OF YOUR DAILY READRRS
Examining Committee of three, under the
By-laws. The motion was carried.
Mr. Dill, offered the following:
Resolved, By the stockholders of the Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Com
pay, that the President of this meeting appoint
s committee of three to assertain how mnoh
money has been paid to the employees, when off
duty, and report the same to the President of
the company
which was unanimously adopted.
Mr. Hutchison offered the following
Resolved, That a committee of three stock
holders be appointed to examine into the con
duct of Joseph H. Moore, Superintendent of the
Pittsburgh, Fort IVagne and Chicago Railroad.
He said he offered it because he knew that
money had been " fooled " away, and that
there were men in the employ of the Com
pany, who were utterly incompetent to fill
their positions.
The motion was put by the chair and lost.
[We are informed that these gentlemen,
Messrs. Dill and Hutchinson, who pretend to
have the interests of stockholders so much at
heart, have both been in the employ of the
company, and were discharged from its
service. And these are the men who
clamor about swindlers and incompetent offi
cers. Mr. Hutchinson owns four shares of
stock, Mr. Dill fifteen; and as far as our expe_
rience goes, the time they occupy with their
complaints of mismanagement, at the meet
ings of stockholders, is entirely dispropor
tionate to their pecuniary interests in the
road.]
Mr. Hutchinson said ha had offered a resw•
lution at the last meeting, which had never
been acted upon, relative to a list of persons
in the employ of the, Company, who receive a
salary of $6llO per annum and upwards.
Mr. Cass said that such a list had been
drawn up, and was at the office for inspec
tion.
On motion, the meeting now adjourned
sine die
What hail be Done with the Captured
Slaves'
The U. S. brig Dolphin has captured a slave
brig with three hundred and eighteen slaves
on board. . The vessels has been sent into
Charleston as the nearest port and the slaves
there landed. The question arises, what is to
be done with the negroes ?
South Carolina has nothing to do with
them. They are now in the possession of the
U. S. authorities, where they must remain
until the Government decides what is to be
done with them. Under the laws of the
United States the President has authority to
cause the liberated negroes to he removed be
yond the limits of the United States, and to
appoint agents on the coast of Africa for their
reception. This is probably the course that
will be pursued. They cannot be set at lib
erty in South Carolina, for their presence
there would not be tolerated—as free negroes
they would be liable to be sold. The only
course for the Government to pursue, is to
restore them to the land from which they
were stolen.
The official report of Lieut. Moffat as pub
lished in the Washington Union states that
there were 318 slaves on board when the ves.
sel was captured, I'2 of whom died before the
vessel reached Charleston.
There is a good deal of speculation as to
the port to which the slaver belongs. "Echo"
was the name once on her stern, but it had
been painted over, and she is now styled
Putnam." The Charleston Courier says she
is of Baltimore model, and a fine vessel.
The crew consisted of nineteen persons,
Americans, English, and Spaniards, neither
of whom would acknowledge themselves in
command. Thd Baltimore Sun states that
the brig Echo, belonging to a firm of that
city, sailed thence on the 22d of July fur May
agnay, which port she reached on the 12th
of August. It could nut hive been that ves
sel, as she had not had time to go to the coast
of Africa and return,. A vessel by the name
of Putnam was built in Baltimore several
years since. Under the laws of the United
States, the vessel is forfeited ; one half of its
value goes to the captors, who are also enti
tled to $25 per head for each negro captured.
The law also directs the President to take
measures for the remove) of the negroes be.
yond the limits of the United States, and to
appoint an agent on the coast of Africa to
receive them. The crew found on board,
under the act of 15th of May, 1820, are deem
ed guilty of piracy.
Cost of Passenger• on Rallroado
The Cincinnati Railroad Record, in a re
cent scientific article on this subject, com
ments on various calculations made by differ
ent companies. The entire expenses of the
Cleveland and Cincinnati Railroad are stated,
and the number of passengers carried ; and it
is shown that the cost per mile of each trav
eler is 1.1 cent, or 11 mills. But the cost on
the Central Ohio, was 2..2 cents, or exactly
double that of the Clevel Ind road—though it
is admitted that there were for the period
named so large an amount of " extraordinary
expenses " that the charge per capita for a
mile on each passenger, reckoning . the real and
current expenses only, was reduced to 1.31
cents. In conclusion, the Record expresses
the opinion that on a well conducted road, car
rying 300,000 passengers annnally, the cost
of one passenger does not exceed one cent
per mile as an average, allowing for a fair
amount of freight.
The Grain Trade of Chicago.
During the last week there has been re
ceived ; . at Chicago 10,884 bbls flour, 401,783
bus. wheat, 654,053 bus. corn, (the greatest
amount of corn received there in any one
week this season, exceeding even the receipts
of last week, which were 589,995 bus.) and
27,44.; bus. oats, making OVER A MILLION OF
BIJSRELS OF GRAIN, namely : 1,137,724 bushels.
The total receipts of the season are now 280,-
896 bbls. flour, 7,645,756 bus. wheat, 5,897, -
751 bus.:corn, and 1,759,483 bus. oats, making
a total of nearly SIXTEEN MILLIONS OF BErSIIELe
OF GRAIN, namely-15,707,995 bushels.
At this time last year, the receipts bad
been 155,000 Ws, flour, 3,050,000 bus. wheat,
6,500,000 bus. corn, and 650,000 bus, oats,
making 11,025,000 bushels of grain, and show
ing an increase in the receipts of this year
over last year up to this time of 4,682,995
bushels.
Badgering; a Witness
It seems that Mr. Jones loaned Mr. Smith a
horse, which died in his (Smith's) possession.
Mr. Jones brought a suit to reoover the value of
the horse, attributing his death to bad treat
mont. During the course of the trial a witness
(Mr. Brown) was called to the stand, to testify as
to how Mr. Smith treated horses.
Lawyer, ( with a bland confidence invoking
smile—" Well, sir, how does Mr. Smith generally
ride a horse."
Witness, (with a mery twinkle in his eye,
otherwise imperturable)—" A etradle I believe
eir "
Lawyer, (with a scarce preoeptible flush of
vexation upon hie cheek, but still speaking in hie
smoothest tones) —" But what kind of a gait
does he ride ?"
Witness—" He never rides any gate, sir. His
boy rides all the gates."
Lawyer (his bland smile gone, and his voice
slightly husky)—" But how does he:ride when
in company with others 1",
Witness—" Keeps up if his horse is able, if not
he goes behind P'
Lawyer (triumphantly, and in a perfect fury)
How does he ride when he is alone, air t"
Witness—" Don't know—never was with him
when he was alone, air,"

The Judge and the «'l•ues
Our Brown brings us a story from one of the
southern cities of the :Empire State, whi c h h o
says is as true as any fact in York State.
.Judge G. is well known to the bar of t hescuth.
ern counties as a decided " character•." and
more good stories aro told about him than any
man on the bench in that region. The judge's
manner in court is dogmatic, pragmatic and ar
rogont, and it pleases the bar well to see him
heartily laughed at. They had a tine chance one
day when an Irish witness was on the stand, who
being rather unmanageable, was taken in Laud
by the Judge, with a manner which said very
plainly "1 on shall see gentlemen how I will
handle him."
" Well Dennis " said the Judge blandly, " tell
me the contents of the chest." Yes yer wor
ship," said the witness eagerly. •• First, there
was a picture of Dan. O'Connell—the Irish pa
thriot—may be yer honor's hoard of him
" Certainly," said the Judge, "go on with
your inventory."
" Then there was a picture of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ, may be yer honor's heard
of him ?"
The unaffected look of inquiry and doubt that
accompanied the witnesses words set the audi
ence in a roar of laughter, and the Judge w ill
never hear the last of it —Boston Post.
The Women of Warsaw.
Bayard Taylor's last latter to the Tribune eon
tams the following:
What more interested me than the speed of
the horses was the beauty of the Polish women
of the better classes. During two years in Eu
rope, I have not seen so greats. number of hand
some faces as I saw in an hour yesterday. It
would be difficult to furnish a larger portion
fromt he acknowledged loveliness of Philadel
phia. Baltimore, or- Louisville. I heard of an
American marrying a Polish lady at Dresden the
other day, and I must commend his tat- te. These
maids of •Warsaw are not •only radiant blondes,
whose eyes and hair remind you of corn fluwors
among ripe grain, but also dark-eyed beauties,
with faces of a full Southern oval, lips round an d
delicate as those of an Amorette, and a pure
golden t. anspareney of complexion. The con
noisseur of woman's beauty can nowhere better
compare these two rival styles, nor hove so rest
a difficulty iu deciding between them.
Wandering along the streets, with throats full
of dust, we were attracted to the sign of a Bays.-
