e9- A special dispatch to the New
York Tribune, says, the attention of the
President, of the more prominent members
of the Cabinet, and of other gentlemen,
whose counsels are valued, has been large
ly given of late to the consideration of the
important questions connected with the
recall to the Union of the truant Southern
States, several of which may soon be
knocking a. the door The precise course
to be adopted is not yet determined. Sev-
eral theories claim the Presidents ear, but
he is himself engaged in maturing a
practical plan, by which to secure reunion
upon the only practicable basis, the basis
of freedom and equality before the law for
all Recent utterances of the President,
and instructions approved by hiny to
recently commissioned representatives, of
the Government in districts Of the South
now in our possession, leave no doubt that
the policy of this Administration to permit
none of the vagrant States to come back
with Slave Constitution is fixed. The
present discussion relates to the ways and
means of effecting this result.

Iron CITY CoLLEGE.-Perhaps the
most successful Commercial College in the
West is the above, which has now reached
degree Of prosperity hitherto unexampled
even before our national troubles So
numerous are the applications that it is
difficult to furnish accommodations for all
the students who desire to enter. The
policy of the Principals has been to give
Diplomas to no one not thoroughly quail
fed in every department OF study, and
this has resulted in giving the institution
such reputation as is of great value to
It's graduates. giving them great advanta-
ges in securing them situations. The
teachers are well accomplished and atten-

HS- Governor Curtin has conferred the
appointment of Quartermaster General of
Pennsylvania, made vacant by the death
of the late incumbent, Gen. Reuben c..
Hale, upon james Reynolds, Esq, of
Lancaster county. Mr. Reynolds occupied
a prominent position in the Democratic
party until the treacheries of Mr.. Buchan-
an, when he discarded that organization,
and has since been actively co operating
with the friends of the Government
The brave and never to be forgotten Gen.
John f. Reynolds was brother of the
new QuartermasterG General What rend-
ers this prompt action of the Governor
more honorable, after his triumphant
election, is the marked manner in which
he recognizes the loyal Democratic ele-
ment, which contributed so effectively to
his success on the 18th of last month.

Conservation Of the Gettysburg
Cemetery.

According to appointment, the great
National Soldiers Cemetery, at Gettys-
burg, was consecrated on Thursday, 10th
last. The weather remained pleasant
throughout the day, and it is estimated
that upwards of forty thousand persons
were present to witness the ceremonies
The Cemetery is laid out on the north
western slope of Cemetery Hill, and forms
semi circular allotments, at the end of
which are lots set apart for the unknown
brave who were so disfgured by wound or
decay as to be unrecognizable by friends.
The allotment allowed each State is In
pcopo, ton to her number of dead, New
York having the largest and Pennsylvania
the next.
The President, Secretary Of State, and
other members of the Cabinet, the Cover
nors of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio,
New Jersey, Indiana and Virginia, a
number of foreign ambassadors, and dis
tinguished gentlemen from every section
of the country, were in attendance.
On the evening preceding the consecra-
ton, the President was serenaded by an
excellent band. After repeated calls, he
came forward and said
appear before you, fellow citizens, merely
to thank you for this compliment. The infer
ence is very fair one that you would hear
me for little while at least, were to COM
rnence to make a speech. | do not appear

for several substantial reasons. The most
substantial of these is, that | have no speech
TO make. In my position it is somewhat i'm
portant that / should not say any foolish
things. "a voice: if you can help it, 1t
very. often happens that the only way to help
it is to say nothing at all. Believing that is
my present condition this evening, l must beg
of you to excuse me from addressing you
further. f
The band also serenaded Secretary
Seward, Governor Seymour, John w.
Forney, and others, each OF whom respon-
ded in short speeches.
The ceremonies attending the consecra-
tion commenced Thursday morning by a
grand military and civic display, under
direction of Major Gen. Couch. The line
of march was taken up at 10 o'clock, the
procession moving through the principal
streets to the Cemetery, where the military
formed in line and saluted the President.
AZ liz the head of the procession arrived
at the main stand. The President and
members of the Cabinet, together with
the chief military and civic dighitaries,
took positions on the stand, the President
seating himself between Mr.. Seward and
Mr.. Everett, after reception marked
with the respect and perfect silence due
to the solemnity of the OCCASION.
After the performance Of funeral
dirge by Birgfeld by The band, and an
eloquent prayer by Rev. Stockton, Edward
Everett, the orator of the day, was intro

WASHINGTON CRY, Nov. IA, 1868.
To the Editor Of The Alleghonian
DEAR SIR In my letter in this week s
issue of your paper is an error. In speak
ing of the Postmaster General, mention
ed the rumor that he was candidate for
the U. S. Senate from Maryland. The
rumor is not tue, for the reason that,
according to the present Constitution Of
Mary land, the U. S. Senators from that
State are selected respectively from the
Eastern and Western Shores. The West
ern Shore is now represented by Reverdy
johnson /; the Eastern by Gov. Hicks
The Senator to be elected will take the
seat now occupied by Gov. Hicks; conse-
quently, he must come from the Eastern
Shore. Montgomery Blair does not live
there. Whatever scheme Of political
ambition he may entertain, he cannot
hope to become U. s. Senator just now
Neither was l correct in stating that the
present Legislature efMaryland was chosen
one year ago. One-half of the Senators
were elected two years ago for term of
four years, and consequently "hold over" |"
as it is termed the other half were elect
cd ON the 4th instant, as were all the
members of the House of Delegates. Both
errors were committed, Mr.. Editor, in
consequence of incorrect information.
But ! am posted now, ard it may be of
interest to your readers to know just what
the political status of Maryland is.
The test question decided in Maryland
last week was, Emancipation or No Enan-
cipation. The majority of the popular
vote in 1avor Of the former was over
whelming. The Emancipation State
ticket was elected by about 10000 ma
jority, and majority of both branches of
the Legislature is also for immediate
Emancipation. Four out of the five
Members of Congress elected are Enamel
pationists. The Legislature meets early
in January, when the calling cf a Conven-
ton of the people to change the Coustitu-
ton of the State and abolish Slavery will
bepromptly decided upon. tits necessary

make the abolition of Slavery posi- ble,-

It will be seen by the above that there

of whom will go for Convention. In

majority of twenty on the naked question
of speedy Emancipation, with nine addi-
