Conemaugh County.

We perceive by the Legislative proceedings that
Mr.. Kiig from the Committee on ssNew Counties
and County Seats" has reported bill to the
House for the erection of Conemaugh county. and
it is asserted that IT will be passed by the present
Know Nothing Legislature.
As it is proposed to take Fairfield township from
Westmoreland to form the new county, very
large meeting of the citizens of that county was
recently held, at which COL Amos Ogden of Fair
field presided, ''to take action in regard to the
unrarrantabe means which are now being made
in the Legislature to dismember Westmoreland
county," The following among other resolutions
was adopted:
Resolred, That we deny the right of the citizens
of Johnstown to invade by design or action our
territory, and in direct opposition to the expressed
wishes of the inhabitants of Fairfield township,
attempt to separate it from its connection with
the other parts of Westmoreland county. Such
an effort is neither in itself just nor in accordance
with the spirit of Republican government
The people, in all matters affecting their inter
ests, should be fully consulted and fairly heard.
A meeting was also held to further the project
in Johnstown ON Saturday last, the call for which
We clip from the Johnstown Tribune.
The Friends of New County are requested to
meet at Fronheiser's Hall this evening, for the
purpose of considering ways and means to further
the measure. Let there be general turn out.

vitaly important that We strike while the iron is

Sale of the Public Works.

The object Of selling the public works appears
10 be leaking out, by which the spectators and
banking people expect to reap rich harvest
The following petition is being circulated along
the line of public works and perhaps elsewhere.
In alluding to it, the Lancaster Examiner says:
We have not heretofore deemed this petition of
sufficient importance to be noticed-not supposing
any member of the Legislature would for mo-
ment entertain the idea of voting for such propo-
stion but since the introduction of the bill to
confer negroes the right to vote there is no tel
ling what may happen"
To the Senate and Hause of Representatives. of
Pennsylvania.
We the undersigned citizens of said Common
wealth, most respectfully, yet earnestly represent
to your honorable bodies: That you pass a law
directing all the public works now had and held
by the said Commonwealth, to be sold at public
sale, uncondtionally, to the highest and bcst.bd-
der.
Giving and granting unto such person or per-
sons, company or companies, the right and privi-
lege Of banking with. say one-fifth of the nett
amount of such part or parts shall be sold in
pursuance. of said law: And would also, most
respectfully suggest, that third of said fifth be
located in the city of Philadelphia one-third of
the same be located in the city of Pittsburg and
the remaining third in such place or places as
your honorable b,dies may designate.

A Capital Hit.

John Rowan, Esq, of Kentucky. having
been called upon from several quarters to be-
come Democratic candidate for Governor of
that State, declined to assume the position for
reasons alleged in a letter to the Louisville
Times He says:
..I am unwilling to peril the fair prospects
of the party by becoming their standard-bear-
er in the next contest, for the simple reason
that my wife is a Cathoiic. / see that a
highly respectable Wing paper (the Common

that they would not vote for a man SO cir
