BIiraeles Never Cease.---The Latest
Prodigy Of Science. rE.

Great truths are indestructIble When
Ipnner avcrred that vaccine incubation was
IA safeguard against the smallpox, the
" faculty sneered. Forty-hve years later,
the world laughed at Daguerres first an
nouncement that he could fix shadow and
render it us imperishable as substance
Even Morse's telegraph was regarded 10y
thousands as a myth, until the first line was
put up in 1914. Now vaccination is uni
versal, daguerreotypes are as common as
wood-cuts, and we talk by telegraph with
almost as much facility as across friends
table.
Such il necessarily the progress of agrand
discovery or Invention in nm age like ours;
aud Of this irresistible onward movement
OF the useful and beneicent in practical
science we have a still more striking exam

ways great remedies. If we mistake not,
they are scarcely older as an invention than
the photograph and the electric telegraph,
and vet they are familiar to half the human
race. The discoveries OF Daguerre and
I Morse have not been applied throughout the
I whole area OF civilization; but barbarian
and semi-barbarian races, upon whom the
/ light of Christianity have not yet dawned,

BH~ 1t will be seen by q notice that
meeting of the subscribers to the Canal Fund
has been called by the managers, to he held
in this city on Friday, the cath inst. The
bylaws of the association require that
weeks notice shall be given of all such
meetings, by distributing hand bills along
the line of the canal for week previous to
the meeting; this could not be accomplished
80 as 10 have the meeting at an earlier day,
which would have been desirable. 1t is
hopsd that all the subscribers will be pres
ent in person or By proxy, as it is proposed
to adopt system of management and of ac-
counts that shall insure the most rigid
economy and a strict accountability-in
order to prevent any conflict with the Trus-
tees, and to insure the future confidence of
the subscribers in the administration of the
Canal affairs. There is the most entire har-
nony in the views and purposes OF the
Trustees and those of the Managers. Both
are stirring TO promote the interest of the
work, and to secure to the public all its
benefits. The Trustees express the most
entire reliance on the good judgment, expe-
diency and efficiency of the President of the
Board of Managers, and think that all meas
ures and plans adopted, with the exception
of one or two errors-unayoidable, perhaps,
in the beginning of their trust-haye been
judicious.
In withholding his approval of the ac-
counts rendered, the States Trustee, Mr..
Raleighs motive was to call the attention
of the subscribers to the importance of in
stituting in the beginning, a system of rigid
accountability and economy to avoid any
difficulties among the lessees themselves and
to prevent any imputations being cast here
after upon the Trustees, fos remissness and
neglect. \ COOL system of administration
at the start will insure the success of the
enterprise. No money has beeen wasted OF
misspent, nor are there any indications Of
extravagant intentions but the managers ap
pear 10 have been more intent upon get.
ting the work in order, than in making
out elaborate statements Of their expendi
lures They were not impressed with tho
propriety OF giving in detail, with clear ex'
plantations, the objects for which every
small sum had been appropriated, in account:
that were to be examined by a voluntary
association of men, many of whom were
unacquainted with the nature of the work
or the mode of its management.
The attention which the discussion has ellie.
tied will correct past omissions; and month.
ly or bi-monthly reports which will be pub
lished in detail, will check any future err
rors, and secure mutual confidence among
all parties interested. Mr.. Cooks exper
ence and activity make him an efficien
manager. Ii the Office business be as vel
done as the outdoor work, the administra
ton of the canal affairs will be successful
and prove satisfactory one to all partie
concerned. The harmony and cooperation
which happily exists, must he preserved.

The EFFECTS OF THE FEosT.-In the
Northern counties OF this State neither the
wheat nor the corn were as seriously affect
ed by the frost as at FIRST stated The dam
age is not very serious from this cause. The
indianapolis Journal thinks, however that
the wheat in the Northern and Eastern
counties will, from the effects of the drouth,
frost, and other injuries, yield scarcely more
than half crop. 1t says;
The cheering prospects OF a month ago
have been sadly changed, as we feared they
would be. Still, the Wabash and White
River Valleys, and some of the Southern
and Western counties, report excellent pros
poets. The North and East, in the main, are
going to do rather poorly in wheat this year.
The rest of the State will probably make
an average. lf4l .-a-.-|t
Corn is universally reported to he doing
LAS well rs could be expected" and, consid-
ering the frost, better.
Fruit is not going to be very abundant. II
was not more than tolerable before the frost,
aud some of it Is n good deal damaged by
that visitation

The Peoples Convention in Penn.

I On the 9Th Instant a Peope Convention
assembled at Harrisburg, composed of the
sound men of all parties opposed TO the ad
ministration for nomination of candi-
dates for Auditor OF State and Surveyor
General Thos. Cochran was unanimously
selected for the former, and General Keim
for the latter Office The Convention adopt
ed a series Of resolutions as the platform of
the party: tk
The first diSapproves of Executive inter
vention to PROSTATE the Will of the people,
constitutionally expressed, either in the
States or Territories, as dangerous ele-
ment of Federal power.
Second-Protests against the sectional
and pro-slavery policy of the National Adj
miniStration as at war with the rights OF the
people, and subversive of the principles OF
our Government
Third-Denounee all attempts 10 enact a
Congressional slave code for the Territories,
and affirms continued hostility to the extern
sion of slavery over free territory.
Fourth--Condemns the attempts to re-
vive the slave trade, and censures the Adj
ministration in conniying al the practical
re-opening of that traffic.
Fifth-Favors a tariff, aud considers the
professions of the President as favoring pro-
lection as all vain. in which no reliance can
be placed.
Sixth-condemns the reckless and profit
gate extravaganza of the National Admin
istration.
Seventh-Deplores the defeat OF the Home
stead bill by Congress.
Eighth--Declares that the purity and
safety of the ballot box must be preserved,
and recommends the proper legislation TO
prevent frauds upon the Naturalization laws.
Ninth-Approves of an enactment by
Congress, 10 prevent the introduction OF
foreign criminals.
Tenth-lnvites all parties to join in the
restoration of the Government to its orgi-
nal purity.
Eleyenth-Approves of the course pur-
sued by Senator Cameron and the members
of Congress who zealously supported the
protective policy ana the Homestead bill
and opposed the policy OF the National Ad-
ministration on the Kansas question.
The resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed, and, after some other routine business
the Convention adjourned SINE de.
Such platform might have united III,
opposition in Ohio, and would promote
union in Indiana.

NEW YORK MoyING UP TOwN.--Many Of
our readers will doubtless be interested in
the following account from the Herald OF
the changes occurring in the great metropc-
lis of the United States:
The rapid strides which trade is making
towards the northern part of the island are
worthy Of special attention. In 1920 New
York was supposed TO end NJ the City Hall
Park. People had country residences about
Union square. Grand street was a long way
out of town. Steadily the tide moved up,
until the merchants and Weather classes
settled themselves comfortably between Ca
nal and Fourteenth street. Only "A few
years ago Broadway was crowded with gay
promenaiers between Trinity Church and
Chambers street. Then came the Fifth Az
enue, with all its gingerbread architecture /;
and above Union square long avenues, lined
with splendid residences, opened the finest
fields for official swindling. Still, the cry is
higher, higher. higher Lower Broadway
is not near so much crowded now as it was
a few years ago. The great Jam is now be-
tween franklin street and the New York
Hotel The fashionable promenade is from
Blocker 10 Fourteenth street, and in the
Fifth avenue above the last named point
Just now, this upward movement IS a steady
fiow OF the tide, but when the Central Park
is finished il will he a freshet. At the pres
ent rate of proceeding the Park should he
nearly done in three or four years, and then
all the fine residences will be in its immedi-
ate vicinity, and all above Murray Hill
The world Of fashion and that Of trade will
be revolutionized. Union place will be the
locality for fashionable shops; dry goods
palaces will take the place Of Fifth avenue
mansions; Madison square Will be the place
for the new City Hall. In point of fact
Broadway will begin where it ended ten
years ago. tfr

may prove powerful and useful ally to Ma

long to revive English prejudices against

Austrian oppression, he fears English intiu-

/ independence which the Hungarian people
so ardently long for. Hence he argues
with all that fervid eloquence which dis.
