The Esise0ck- Cole Trial.

Thetrial of Gen, Cole for the murder
of Mr.. Hiscock at Albany, N. Y,
about ono year ago, is progressing at
that place at the present time. 1t will
be recollectcd that Cole and Hiscock
were personal friends for a number of
years, and while the former was in the
armyHiscock seduced his wife. Shortly
after Cole ascertained this, he shot His
cock, killing him almost instantly.
In the trial of the case, the defence are
attempting to prove Gen. Cole to have
been of insane mind at the time of the
commission of the deed, resulting from
injuries received while serving in the
Union army.
From theprominencc of the parties,
and their previous good standing, the
trial is elieiting Il widespread interest.
1t will probably be concluded this
week.

JUST WHATS TIE MATTER.

Whilst our windy impeachers, anti
impeachers and others, are blowing off
the gass generated during the trial, the
people are breathlessly awaiting action
of definite character. Pure and foul
alike are now disregarded. The game
is up aud we want the prize. Re
hashng is not good at any time and is
especially sicltcning at present. How
far in the future the end may yet be,
it is certain nothing more can be de-
velopcd and even if it should be it is
suporfuous. The people have before
them a Chief Magistrate arraigncl and
proved guilty; all that is now required
is a verdict in accordance with the
facts in the case. Democrats see and
acknowledge with Republicans that in
justice he must be removed, but rather
than place it to the credit Of the party
in power and the wish that harmony
may be restored in the Government
and its co-ordinate branches, they
charge a desire to the Republicans of
wishing to secure party power and the
dispensing Of patronage to control
elections as the chief incentive. The
fact is, Democracy received the sole
benefit of the government patronage
for the last year or two, to which may
he attributed a large share of their
seeming success. Andy served excel
lcntIy as a cats-paw, dispensing his
hospitality literally among his admir-
crs. Now, that his wrctched career is
to close, and there is n prospect Of
shutting down the food gates Of fraud
and corruption by the removal of the
vampires that have clung to the body
polite during his administration, there
arises great howl against Republi-
can usurpation, when in truth it is
only the loss of the Offices for which
they don mourning. What shaking
up there will be when "Bcn" Wales
in; what a pouring off of scum and
sinking of the dregs!

GRANT AND THE PEOPLE.

The New York Tribune, in an arti-
Gle taking a survey of the Presidential
field, starting out with Grant as the
Republican candidate, and Pendleton
the candidate of the Democrats, comes
to the conclusion that it "is morally
impossible that the Sham Democracy
should elect the next President" In
enumerating the reasons, the Tribune
fails to mention the strongest, to wit (:
the general confidence in Gen. Grant
whereby he will receive tens of thou
sands of votes which would be given
for no one else named on our side.
Whoever is familiar with the public
mind, realizes that he fits perfectly its
great want-stability and honesty.
This is better than any platform that
can be framed. Frame the most per-
feet platform possible, and without this
want satisfied in the candidate, the
platform would be of little avail.
There is something remarkable in the
hold General Grant has on the conf
dence of tie nation. Nor is it on ac-
count of his military achievements.
great as they have been. He has
been tested and wears like steel. If
he is not complete statesman he is
not a politician, but is man of great
good sense, perfectly familiar with the
public service, complicated by no en-
tangling alliance, honest as the sun,
sclt-reliant, invincible in determine
and equal to the thorough per-
tormancc ofany duty. As President
he will have a policy, He has filled a
position of weightier responsibilities
than the presidential office, and his
manhood has been tested in the sever
est trial that ever fell to one of our
countrymen to endure. 1t is impossi-
bic that there should be any mistake
as to the kind of a man General Grant
is, and just here is the secret of his
strength with the people. The coun-
try recognizes in him the. true pacifca-
tor and We are confident that as the
Republican candidate he will have the
support of tens of thousands of voters
outside of the Republican organiza-
tion, Er.

RAILROAD MANIA.

One way of disHDing of a matter is
to talk it into or put OF existence.
A gitate and it can soon be known what
the actual worth of a plan is or how
much il passes for among those whom
it interests. Talking railroad is stale,
and anything said at this time in ad-
vocacy of their utility is trite enough
to those who have given thought TO
the work. We have been publishing
a series of communications to the Pitts
burgh Commercial, by citizens of our
county, one this week, containing in
them many reasons why we should
have an outlet for trade. In the pro-
secuton of the project as set forth by
the writers mentioned, the aim it APP
pears is to enlist Pittsburgh capital in
the enterprise, which is a seeming apol-
ogy for the otherwise strange idea OF
going abroad for aid in developing
home csourccs. 1t is well enough to
secure the cooperation Of capital lol
pushing improvement, but the sooner
it is ascertainod that cur landholderS
along the desired route, and popular
expression, iavors its cause, the sooner
capital will he persuaded of earnest,

Another Movement Towards iia Cen, PIE
tiou--PrOsDcct of ;.s Success.

The Washington Exporter says that
the most influential movement vet
made towards the completion Of the
Charters Valley Railroad between
Pittsburgh and Washington, Pa, has
Just been commenced in Canonsburg,
and Judging from the interest maniies-
ted at meeting held on the l8th in
slant, the prospects are fair for an carly
completion. 1t was stated that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company were
wiling to go on and finish the road
in six months, provided the farmers
and property owners along the route
would subscribe 100000, no portion
of which is to be paid until the road is
completed and the cars running.
Within a few weeks past, Mr.. Wcstley
Greer obtained fair amount of sub
scriptions from farmers on the line of
the road, and many more persons were
anxious to subscribe provided they had
assurances that theroad would be built
in reasonable time. In order there
fore that definite proposition might
be obtained from the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, n committee, COM
prising William McKcnnan, Esq, Mr..
Wcstlcy Greer, and Mansfield B.
Brown, of Allegheny county, was ap-
pointed to visit Philadelphia and con-
suit with the managers of the Central
road. This committee are now attend
ing to the duty Of their appointment,
and in few days the ultimatum of
the Pennsylvania road will be known.
A committee of six were appointed
by the meeting (thrcc fiom Washing
ton county and three from Allegheny
county, to proceed with the subscrip-
ton papers. Committee for Washing
ton county, Maj. John II. Ewing,
Alex. Mcconnell and Wcstley Greer.
Committee for Allegheny county,

with power to appoint a third.

SOMETHING TO EAT.

We have melancholy intelligence
from Europe. Correspondents at
Rome tell US that in Sicily "the peo-
pie are dying of actual starvation"
The London correspondent ofthe Boa-
ton Advertiser writes; "Starvation, or
what is nearly as bad, is widespread in
Europe" while Ireland is hardly bet
ter fed than it was when Dean Swift
issued his celebrated proposals for util-
izing babies as articles of diet.

Gen. Grant on Temperance.

The New York Sun, edited by Chas.
Dana, late assistant Secretary of War,
says:
"The truth is, that the practice Of
Gen. Grant is total abstinence. In
camp he-almost alone, among all the
prominent officers of the army-never
tolerated liquor or wine either at his
table or about his tent. Fatiguing
marches and the excitement and ex-
haustion of battles did not make him
break over his rule, not to touch any
thing alcoholic. Again and again we
have seen wine offered him at public
and private dinners, only to be stead
lily refused. We are assured that now
in time of. peace, and the society Of
Washington, he still maintains the
CUSTOM" .i'-. 81.

THE remains Of the great raider
John Morgan, were recently taken mp
from the spot where he fell, and on.the
18th of this month they were renter
red at his old home in Kentucky. His
funeral was made the occasion of a
tremendous gathering Of the Confed-
crate element which is still so strong
in Kentucky. Morgan's old compan-
ions in arms, headed by their old Off
GERS, led the procession, and then fol-
lowed various other Confederate celeb
| rites.

JSo. W. WALLACE, Esq, of New

A STRONG movement is developing
in Pittsburgh to bring forward as the
candidate for the Congressional honors
of the twenty-second district Maj. Gen
James S. Ncgley, who represented
Pennsylvania with such distinguished
ability and conspicuous gallantry on
the fields of Stone River and Perry
vile. Gen. Negley is deserving ofall
the merit that is claimed for him. He
is a soldier and gentleman to our per-
sonal knowledge. 2.

PAYING OFF.

The Philadelphia Press imparts the
cheerful intelligence to discharged SOL
ders of the volunteer army, and to the
widows, heirs and children of those
whose discharge was death, that the
long-daferred bounty claims are now
being adjusted with rapidity that
will soon exhaust the crowded files of
applications. About sixty thousand
claims are now passed monthly through
the different Offices. About two-thirdS
of these are settled by the Paymastei
General, and the remainder by the
Second Auditor.

vides that Judgment in cases ofim-

removal from Office and disqualification
to hold and enjoy any office of honor
trust or profit under the United
States" In case of Andrew Johnson's
conviction in the pending impeach-
ment trial, he will be disqualified for
holding any office under the United
States Government. But he will not
be deprived of citizenship, and if any
State, county or city or town want
him for local position, he will still
be eligible to an election. He NAV
even be an Alderman again, provid-
ed he can obtain votes enough to elect
him.

a Wise Act

General Buchanan, in command of
the Fifth Military District, has issued
circular, that reports have come to
him that freedmen, who are laboring
on plantations, under regular contracts
are being discharged, Or are threatened
with discharge by their employer, on
account Of taeir participation in the
existing political contest in that State.
All such employers are notified thatno
action of the sort will be tolerated,
and any planter who discharges a
freedman for such cause, will be held
bound by the terms Of his contract
with such freedmen. If the contract
is on shares, it will be held that the
freedman is entitled to his share of the
proceeds of the crop when sold Iffor
wages, the freedmen will be entitled
to receive wages from the date of his
discharge, in addition to the amount
due him at that date, or provided for
by existing State laws.
