DRY COODS. SUc Commercial. tion of it would best give an idea of the wide cultivation of a mind which was possessed of its contents. This, howevor, is no piace for an account of it. Its ealth of ancient literature, which can only be alluded to, would equally suggest the extent of its owner's classical learning, to which some other hand will, it is to be hoped, do justice." So far Professor Lanqley, As to Mr.

Watson's classical learning, we can at present ODly say that there seems good ground for the presumption that his knowledge of antiquity was nearly if not quite as remarkable in extent and accuracy as his supremacy by making the State almolute in every controversy between the temporal and the spiritual powers and by thus excluding all possibility of such Intermeddling on the part of Rome as enfeebled the old Kmpire. In the alwence of details concerning the dispute which has led to Count Abxis's arrest.it is easy to understand its bitterness. The struggle between the church anrt the Government embodied in Bismarck is a struggle for life. Bismarck's diplomacy has of late been savagely assailed from almost all quarters; Italians, Austrians, Frenchmen and others charging the Prince with bad faith, trickery as I have knowledge of them, a very efficient class of officers; there lore, the subject of the reorganization of the service in this respect is not under consideration, as stated. Please correct, by- publishing this oom-wmnicatien, And oblige Yours, very respectfallv, Wit.

Oil City, October 5, 1S74. The amusement season was opened 'a fortnight since by the ever popular "Happy" Cal Wagner, in his inimitable impersonations of tha genuine son of Ethiopia. He waswell supported. Next followed the well known Wallace Sisters, who gave two performances to immense houses. San-ford's Old Time Minstrels perform this week.

Thus far the quantity of "show" has exceeded the quality. The boating fraternity of this city have succumbed to the indisputable nearness of Jack Frost, and have wiped their sculls off for the last time this season, and the greasy waters of the sinuous Allegheny is no more disturbed by the oars of the ambitious deciples of Morris and Brown. The boys are now well supplied with all the necessary paraphernalia to become skilled, if not renowned oarsmen, in case they retain this organization intact. This region turns out a large delegation of fun-loving humanity for Barnum's Hippodrome daily. A pecmliar fascination of the followers of the turf and ring overcoming all pecuniary consideration, allures representatives of all classes, and when they can't gratify their morbid inclination at home, they avail themselves of the liberal excursion rates and go to the "Smoky City." All who have been and seen the "elephant" express themselves as highly-pleased with the exhibition, notwithstanding the continued depression of the oil market.

The failure of the Oil City Water Works is a fact too widely known need any retelling. After having shouldered the costly luxury, the city authorities have been exercising their inventive proclivities in trying to stop the multifarious leaks in the mains. Tha process is simple, expensive and experimental. The people have submitted to the perpetration of the swindle and rates all along, on the principle that "everybody's business is nobody's business, murmering not; on the other hand, rather encouraging and fostering the spirit of public improvements a position remarkable, consid-ring the extravagance and improvidence with which "everybody's" money was expended. The completion of the water works and pavements was only the beginning, as the attenuated pnrses'of the taxpayers will attest.

You see, the immonse pressure of water is too great for the capacity of the mains. A large force of workmen have employed themselves constantly for the past six mouths stopping the leaks. "It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good." Merchants exhibit their implicit faiih in the futurity by increasing their facilities and starting "branch'' stores. One thing has induced this probably more thuu anything else, viz: the landlords have wisely reduced their rentals to suit the times. i The Collins House, recently completed, is still vacant.

A strong effort was made to secure an occupant subscribing a "sinking fund," and securing the co-opor-ation ol the several railroads; but the scheme, for want of "sand," proved a signal failure. The owner of this colossal structure of unprofitable brick and mortar, pays his taxes, with a choking, inward conviction that the whole thing is ascriha-ble to low-priced grease and the new-freight rates. Meanwhile the producing element, with an eye single to five dollar oil, rise up as one man, and demand, in lanenage, notdirticultto understand, of the railway magnates, "annul your concerted action and come down to uniform rates." We are well satislled that times are dull, oil is poverty low, discounts are enormous, in fact are perfectly familiar with the entire catalogue of grievances, Meetings of the enthusiastic order have been held at Titusville, Oil City, Petrulia and Parker City; resolutions reciting a tale most piteous were unaminously passed. Yet freights are the same: oil changes not; the sun shines with its wonted brightness; bustles prevail all these remain the mine, look at them in whatever position. Whence this sudden outbreak? What is the cause of so much feeling? Wherefore these outbursts of Websterian eloqueuoo? What is the power that can thus arouse the demon within two thousand producers' and refiners' breasts? Some people a'Nvmnt for it in one way, some in a not Her.

Which is right I know" not. Coming events cast there shadows before, say some; but only a select few, it is charged, were permitted to get a glimpse of the shadow iu this case. The history and facts of the case as told by interested parties, are simply and briefly as follows: A compact was entered into under a similar fiasco two yer ago, by the presidents of the several irnnk and local lines; also a committee of producers, by which certain rates on oil over the respective lilies to theses board would irointo effect. This arrangement, coupled with the Pipe bill passed by the IjescUiature at or about the same time, promised a recurrence of the golden period of five dollar oil. No such result was ever attained.

The production increased until nearly a third more than the most prolific coiisumptfou per diem was reached. This was unjustifiable, and brought about a continuation of events too lengthy and well known to be reiterated at this time. tSufiice it to sn the price of tbe commodity g'rt down to less than one-half the cost of producing. Something must be done. The pipe lines refused to run seventy cent oil any cheaper than three dollar oil; so, likewine, the railroads concluded.

Ignoring all petitions -for "rebates' and "drawbacks." The tanks of producers and dealers were Slled to overflowing, and the wherewithal to provide more where? After humbling themselves Ik-ft we the pipe men and railroads, for a change of rates without being gaiu humored, the producers began to exhibit their unwarrantable recalcitrant propensities. In their meetings, which have ever been characterized for buncombe and baggadocio, thev have made serious charges against the pfpe lines and railroads without any definite information upon which to base for an instant any such libelous charges. The truth of this was clearly shown at the Parker City meeting, in which a few sober-minded men had tne good sense and firmness to avert the head-iong and precipitate action of the hotheaded owners of too inuch seventv cent oil. The freight schedule fs liable to change often, and if any such a change has been made, ail that was necessary in the start was to appoint a committee to confer with the companies interested, and have the matter amicably adjusted. The bare idea of common carriers entering into a combination which must inevitably result to their loss and discredit, is simply preposterous.

What were railroads built to the Oil Region for? Were they not built purposely to atlbrd better and more rapid transportation of the oleaginous fluid the light of the world? Take the oil business away from the railroads traversing this section, and where are they? Something must be as a war against the railroads and pipe lines seemodthe most feasible, it was adopted, but with unsatisfactory results thus far. The time iB not far distant when oil will command a better price, as it is becoming more widely known every day, and also finding new uses. We have satisfactory assurance that the production is falling off; and there is a movement on foot to stop further developments, which, if it succeeds, will aid materially in the good work. In time stocks will be reduced, when a return of three or five dollar oil may be reasonably expected, and not till then. The views and arguments given above are presented as they were stated to your correspondent, and given for what they are worth simply as a part of the current history of the oil business.

What the result of the present agitation among producers will be, is beyond my ken. A new hose company has been organized on College Hill, with nearly a hundred men already on the roll. The company is called the Hasson Hose. A man here no "longer seeks to do either of the commands enjoined in the following traditionary injunction Build a house, plant a tree, or get married, bnt rather to found a base-ball club, or have a hose companv bear his cognomen down to posterity. Unless the gallant Captain, after whom this company has been named, runs better at the coming election than the hose company did at the fireman's race, the Democracy will not have the pleasure of seeing him attain a seat in the House of Representatives.

A match game of ball was played here this afternoon, between the Mutuals, of Meadville, and the South Side Club, of this The game was one-sided, In favor of the home club; score 17 to 7. The Meadville sports lost heavily. The Keystones, of Erie, play here this week. The Venango county fair, just closed, was more of a success than any affair of the kind ever attempted oefore. The exhibitors showed their usual good taste in their selections of surprising specimens.

The trotting was not exciting; time 3:00. A snail gallop would have been more interesting. Agate. A Card from Supervising Inspector General Burnett. Washington, D.

C' October 2, To the Editor of the Pittsburgh Commercial: Ia your issue of the 25th I find a WasMngton dispatch giving what are said to be my views on certain matters of controversy declared to exist between Eastern and Western steamboatmen, the principal one of whieh is said to be that Western men wish to carry a higher pressure of steam on their boilers without correspondingly increasing the weight of iron used in their construction. On "this chief point of difference" I am represented as taking a "determined stand" on the Eastern side of the question. Now, sir. have to plead ignorance of, and total disbelief in the existence of any such controversy, and therefore cannot be taking a "determined stand" on either one side or the other. I had thought the steamboat men, both East and West, were working in perfect harmony, recognizing the necessities of each kind of navigation.

I was not in the country during the discussion of thesteam- -boat bills at the last session of Congress, and have not yet careiuuy examined them, and have never expressed an! opinion on the merits of their provisions. The remarks attributed to me relative to the character of the supervising and local boards of inspectors are also entirely erroneous. I consider the inspectors of this servwe so far Sainrflay, Jciar i LATEST STYLES Wrvl. SEfvlPLE'S, 165, 167 and 163 FEDERAL STREET ALLEGHENY All the Newert Hh.n... Ill MIW" dr-.

We don't know whether this action was intended as a satire on the 'practices of the Democracy of our own country, but it looks vastly like it. The Water Committee of Allegheny Councils make a grave mistake is tempting ttransact public business involving the expenditure of large sums of money, by sitting with closed doors.

So good purpose can be subserved by discussing public measures in the dark. It is infinitely better that all municipal alTairs be conducted with open doors. That alleged Southern third term movement does not appear to be making headway. Reliable information from Washington is to the effect that a number of leading politicians from the South, who "have been in consultation in that city in regard to devising some means of giving expres sion to their third term are becom ing quite disheartened -over "their utter failure to produce any Sev eral, it appears, have left in disgust, and the rest are expected to follow immedi ately. That the trade and industries of the country are not in so bad a condition as many believe, is shown by the Internal Revenue collections during the first quarter of the fiscal year, which were considerably in excess of year, and also by the prompt mercantile collections throughout the country.

It is now stated that the receipts from Internal Revenue for the first three days of this month have been entirely unprecedented in recent years, having reached the sum of $1,100,000, and that the collections of the first quarter of the fiscal year promise to be very considerably increased during the next three Thk Massachusetts State Convention meets to-day. The two most prominent Gubernatorial candidates are Governor Taumt and Dr. Lobisg. The former stands in the regular order for renomi nation, and would doubtless be nominated by acclamation except for his strong prohibition sentiments, and his declaration, through bis vetoes lastwinter, to oppose ail attempts to remove the prohibitory law, whether by'a legislative majority or not. Dr.

Iiosma is also a friend of temperance, although not a pronounced VrohiDitionist. There is a little talk of bringing Mr. Dawes forward as a compromise candidate, and some are even fearing Butler. The export trade of New York last week shows gratifying results, notwithstanding the shipment of grain to Europe has been materially delayed by the farmers at the West, who manifest a disposition to hold back, for farther advances in prices. The volume of exports for the" present' year, since January 1, is nearly $40,000,000 in-excess of the amount done last year, and $80,000,000 larger than for the corresponding months of 1ST2.

On the other hand, the imports for the same period are less than in 1ST3, and about $35,000,000 less than in 1872, which results should certainly show a very considerable balance in favor of the mercantile com mnnlty.as compared with eitner of the years mentioned in comparison. What the Albany Journal say? of the political situation in New York, appbes with equal force and emphasis- to the position of affairs in our own State: "Only one possible danger threatens the Republicans to-day the over-confidence which, an less guarded against, may lnll us into a remission' of active, energetic, unflagging effort for victory. Since the two conventions the impression of Republican success is universal. Nothing but this feeling can defeat It is not in the power of the Democracy to carry the State of themselves. If we are in any peril at all, it is simply from the strong belief that victory is so sure that it requires no great labor." The need of the hour is thorough organization and faithful work, from one end of the Commonwealth to the other.

And now it turns out that Hon. B. Jokes, of Marengc; Alabama, who was recently asserted to have published a card denying the existence of intimidation and violence in that State, not only denies the authenticity of that card, but declares that there is more violence and lawlessness in Alabama than he has ever known. There is not a doubt of it. And, moreover, the organized state of the Lonisianau rebels, the extensive formation, of South Carolinian rifle clubs, the deliberate murders of colored men and their friends in Kentucky and Tennessee, the outrages in Alabama, and many other facta, all point to a general understanding among the secessionists.

There is scarcely room for doubt that the IiOuisiana movement was bnt in incident in what was meant to be a. comprehensive: undertaking, but which was prematurely commenced through the im-patieie of the of the Crescent City. iit It was a surprise to. hear, as we, did by cable yesterday, of Jhe arrest of Count Vox Akwim. During the last ten years the Count has been so active and conspicuous as a diplomatist in the affairs of the new empire, his movements front place to place in the performance of bis high functions have been ad regularly chronicled by tele-jrraph and letter, that the public long ago learned almost lo( identify him with the great Chancellor, -or at least to look upon him as one of the Chancellor's chief instruments.

Readers, however, will recollect that some months ago the two were reported to have disagreed, and presently ft became certain that Count -BStu. had. retired or been retired from the diplomatic service under a cloud, and only a abort time passed before we beard that the Count had published 'letters, which still further coin promised him with Of the letters the a and before published by Count Auxin, the effect was to show that he, while German representative in Rome during the sessions of tha Council, had either foreseen wore clearly tltfi BIsmauck the Uiinate consequences of transactions then in progress, or else that he was in favor of a more sincere honorable policy to? wards the Papacy than the virtual ruler of rmany cared to pursue. "In fact, Count Aksbm, the scion of an ancient Roma a Catholic fondly and besides a pious Catholic, theugb hostile to TJltramontanism an4 the Jesuits, was anxious that the Germs Government should exert its influence with energy hi Rome to prevent the adoption of measures which, if adopted, would, as he fully believed, result iu the eollfflkm which has sinoe actually taken place between the Catholic hierarchy and nil'ial authorities.

"i THE TWENTY-THIKD COHGBES3r IONAL DISTRICT. We are by no means about to read a homily to the Republicans of the Twenty-third Congressional District upoa the true nature of tneir political duties and respon sibilities. We do not entertain the slight est doubt that they comprehend the situation thoroughly, and will do exactly the right thing at the right time. But, in view of the fact that Mr. Pijkvianck has ac cepted the call made upon him by a number of disaffected voters of thelsorth Side, there are a few points to which we desire to direct attention.

It is an axiom in the politics of our country that, between a party and the constituent members thereof, there exists a of duty and an obligation of service. We that this bond ought not to exact of them degradation, and that the obligation not hold them to a service which they know beyoild all dispute to be corrupt and dishonest. We admit that there is an ultimate duty encompassing all citizens, which rises superior to their obligations as friend, neighbor, or partisan Party "decisions and successes, in other words, are not paramount to personal conscience and individual honor. Indeed, -it is one of the chief glories.of the Repubi ican party tlftit it has so fully recognized and enforced thistruth. It has made it its foundation principle, and built upon it.

This new principle in politics, first applied by the Republican party, was the power which nerved the Republican Congress of the last session to unearth, ex-jwse and punish the corruption and dishonesty of Republican and Democratic officials alike; in doing which the Republican party led the way to bolder, better ground than any political party had ever before taken its stand upon. But, in the case of Mr. Pubviance, and his acceptance of the "call" in question, no consideration of this character Is involved. It is not, so far as we are aware. claimed that the Republican nominee-is in any way incompetent, nnworthy, or unfit.

On the hi3 integrity and capability are vouched for by even his present opponents-fetich well-known citizens as Rev. W. D. Howard, Abbam Patterson and A. W.

Black having, in their several precincts, voted at the primaries for Colonel Bayse's delegates. The fact that their names are now attached to the call npon Mr. Purvtakcb, simply goes to show political inconsistency on their part. In addition to this, we have reason to know that Messrs. Jambs C.

Lewis, W. S. Purviance, Alexander Postlky and Jonathan Gallagher whose names are also affixed to the "calT'-rVoted at the primaries which selected delegates to Col-Baisk's convention. Whether they voted 'for Watsojc or Batse delegates, we are not prepared to say neither, indeed, is that fact material. Every one of these gentlemen would unquestionably scorn to be guilty of a dishonorable act.

They cannot, however, ia this instance, claim exemption from party loyalty on account of personal conscience for the reason that tbey participated in the primary elections, as stated, thereby virtually pledging themselves to abide by the decision of the nominating-' convention since, if there is to be no fealty in such matters, primary elections might just as well be abandoned altogether, and the grand old doctrines of personal aad political honor, which have prevailed from the time of the fathers, be rejected as foolish superstitions. There is another thing to be said Mr. PrRVTAKCK declines to make any pledges, of whatever character. He is, undoubtedly, an honest and a worthy gentleman; but his supporters have absolutely no security which the nominee cannot override at his own will, and disregard at his own He is under no bond to adhere to any principles or to any policy. Having made no pledges, his adherents have no possible authority to invoke in compelling of bim any allegiance to their own views.

It is like starting on a journey to nowhere: It is said that the nomination of Mr. Purviasce is strongly indorsed by the prohibitory temperance element of his district. This, of course, is their privilege ilthough it is somewhat dilficult to discover the special grou nds their support is based Mr. Purviawcb having, it is understood, opposed, as a member of the State Constitutional Convention, the insertion of a provision in that instrument against the traffic In intoxicating bquors.r He cannot, therefore, be claimed as a temperance man, either in theoryr in practice. 1 'r i r- In a Word, Mr.

Purviasce and the respectable signatories to the "call" addressed to him, have, perhaps unintentionally, but none the less actually, lent the influence of respectable names to a bad cause. Even if Mr. Pcrviascb were a practical temperance man which he is not we cannot see how the cause of temperance can be advanced by playing into the hands of the Democratic party, as he is doing. Grant that he has within himself the requisite qualifications for the office to which he aspires still Be is, to all practical intents and purposes a cafspaw for pulling Democratic chestnuts out of the fire and hence, whatever may be the degree of his personal merits, he has no right to win. Nor will he.

Every vote cast for him will be a vote for the election of the Democratic candidate. The best man' is the worst man tQvote for, if he is being used as a tool of the- worst party and the people of the Tw enty-third district will so decide. i A BEMAEKA BLE CITIZEN OP FITTS- BURGH. Mr. Robert Watsox, whose death on Friday, has been recorded, was known among our oldest residents as a man of wide acquirements, both in classical learning and in natural science, and at the same time as one whose too modest estimate of himself had prevented him from making that public use of his mental wealth which would have brought, in more ambitions hands, a wide reputation.

But while he was 1 all this, such an account must still, we suppose, seem to those who knew him as a student insuflBciently to 1 characterize- a really noteworthy man. A community so busy as ours has not always tlme to be critical in matter scholarship, and admits reputation for it on slighter grounds than those on which, as we believe, his should rest, for, it should seem, that, even in a community of scholars. Mr, Watsos would nave suu Deen marked as one or thorough learning each of several departments of knowledge. In confirmation of this estimate of the intellectual character of the deceased, we are enabled to cite the testimony of Professor S. P.

Langley, of the Allegheny Observa who, in a communication with which he has kindly lavored us, says "In that part of the many fields of labor which Mr. Watson had cultivated, In which the writer could best appreciate the character of his acquirement, his knowledge seemed to be of rare exactness. Every man comprehends with regard to his own profession if no other, how very wide the difference commonly is between the knowledge of the amateur In any one pursuit and that needed by one who makes it the business of life. In mathematics and the natural sciences Mr. Watson possessed the thorough and practical kind of acquisition which might be ex-, pected in one who followed them as his profession, and to full fellowship as a studfnt in these he would have been ad mitted, it seemed to the writer, by those entitled to judge as adepts.
