THE FAvoRIrE.-Passengers going east
will find all the modern conveniences o!
travel on the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne rail
road, from Chicago to Pttsburg, and the
Pennsy lvsnia Central, from Pittsburg to
either New York Or Philadelphia. These
lines run the most elegant coaches of any
line in the United States, and, as an add =
tional feature, and one that is of practical
interest and use to business men, they mt AXE
the entire run, from Chicago to Philadel
phia or New York in tuenty seuen hours,
this being from three to FIVE hours less time
than any other route to the east accomp
fishes. Not only q saving of time is made,
but that greatest of nuisances to traveller,
cars, is avoided, as the cars run
through. The hash houses along the route
are conducted in frat class manner and
time is given to eat what you pay for. Add
to all these advantages the fact that the
employees are gen:lemanly, attentive and
obliging. and produce the equal of this route
if you can.

University OF Hirrinin.

CHARLorTEsvIILE, Va, June 2g--An immense au-
dlence OF both sexes, from all sections of the
Union, assembled in University Hall tonight to
hear the address before the literary societies by
the Hon. Geo. H Pendleton, of Ohio.
In coming forward, Mr.. Pendleton was received
with applause. The subject Of his address was
the human race in everything which tends to its
civilization and elevation that this progress is
the result Of the efforts of individual men that
every human life aids or retards it. and the con-
sequent duty OF every man to develop to the very
largest extent every capacity of his mind and
soul and body, and that he may contribute his
Just share to the general advancement of the
race. This main idea was enforced by historical
OF the world at different epochs and in different
countries, by reference TO the fall of nations and
individuals. He alluded to the foundation and
history OF the University, and to the lives and
characteristics of its three great patrons, the
trinity of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. PendletOn made the
following reference to national atfairs IL is true
we are building up States in the wilds of the
Rocky Mountains with wonderful rapidity; it is
true we span the continent with rail and wire,
and send our thoughts IN an instant across the
waters Of the old ocean itself; it is true we are
advancing with greatest speed toward the summit
national power and renown. So much greater is
the reason why we should not lag behind in the
pathway OF purity and intellectual and literary
we should at all times remember that there is
something better than national prosperity; some
thlng worthier our efforts than physical honor or
accumulated wealth. Let us find with hope an
incentive in the fact that the ages of the greatest
physical activity have been those of the greatest
intellectual impulses. Mr.. PendletOn said the
true test OF the wOrthiness of the age is the wor-
thiness of ourselves, which each thinking man
should apply to himself in the secrecy of his
heart-learning by experience, teaching by ex-
ample.
The address gave great satisfaction to all the
hearers, and Mr.. Pendleton was frequently inter
rupted with applause during It's delivery.

SAN DOMINGO TREATY REIECrEB.

The treaty for the annexation of the island of
San Domingo to the United States was rejected
by The Senate on the 3Oth ut by vote of 2s to 2s,
being ten less than the required two-thirds to
cure its ratification. An order was passed to no
tify the President Of the refusal of tho Senate to
consent to the ratification. The only debate that
took place was a speech from Senator Morrill,, of
Vermont, against the treaty, after which the vote
was taken, which, II is ascertained was in detail
as follows:
For the treaty were Messrs. Abbott Anthony,
Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Conkling, Cole, Cor
bett Drake, Fenton, Harlan, Hamlin, Howard,
Howell, Mcdonald, Norton, Nye, Osborn, Ramsey,
Revels, Rice, sprague, Stewart, Spencer, Thayer,
Warner, Williams and Wilson'S. Against the
treaty were Messrs. Boreman, Casserly, Davis,
Edmunds, Ferry, Fowler, Hamilton of Maryland,
Harris, Howe, Johnston, McCreery Morrill, OF
Vermont, Morrtll of Maine, Patterson, Poole,
Pratt, Robertson, Ross. Sawyer, Salisbury, Scott,
Sehurz, Stockton, Sumner, Thurman, Tipton,
ViclSers and Winey-2s. Absent paired and not
voting members, were Messrs, Ames, Bayard,
Buckingham, Carpenter, Flanagan, Gilbert Ham
ilton Of Texas, Kellogg, Norton, Pomeroy, Sher-
man, Trumbul and Yates-l3.
Intelligence of the defeat of the treaty was soon
communicated to the President, who said that he
had been quite confident of n different result and
was therefore, disappointed. It is thought that
measures will at once be taken to negotiate a
new and more acceptable treaty.

NNErT-FoUR wears AGO on

NNETY-FoUR years ago on Monday
last, the delegates of the thirteen British
colonies in America, in General Congress
assembled, declared that these colonies
are, and of right ought to be, FREE AND
INDEPENDENT STATES" In the treaty
with Great Britain in 1884, King George
III. acknowledged them by name to be
free and independent States. This, then,
was the original status-the start. Now
let every true American citizen ask him.
self are these still free and Independent
SatesP If they are, ace cannot see it. A
test Of this kind may show whether our
system of government has been, or is be-
ing, entirely revolutionized by our radical,
stock-jobbing, unprincipled tyrants.

An exchange proPosnds the following pointed
questions upon the present status which are
highly important to citizens Of Ohio:

several Of the Southern States by cOmpulsion and

The Representative Of Appleton a. Co.
and Harper & 90. I'm the Senate.
Mr.. John Sherman is not, as we have good
grounds for stating, representative of Ohio in
the United States Senate, although he was elected
to that body by this State. He appears to be
rather an agent for Harper 4 Brother and Apple
ton Co., and other great boolz-publishing firms
in the East. There illustration of that in
the Senate on Wednesday. There was an amend
ment to strike from the tariff free list books,
maps and charts, especially imported in single
copies and not for sale, of which no editions are
printed in the United States. Now, can ANYBODY
see any reasonable objection to the adoption of
the above sectiOn2 To his honor, be it said, even
Sumner of Massachusetts declared his opposition
to striking it out, remarlIng that he regarded the
duty on books a tax on knowledge. He was in
favsr of free trade in books. But Sherman Op-
posed IL, reading letters from Harper & Brothers
and Appleton 4 Co., who demonstrated against it.
They, being in the book traffic are anxious that
all foreign works should be kept out of the coun-
try, that the people will have no recourse but
TO buy their books here in a market of which thew
(the publishers) have a monopoly. although
their personal interests and sefshness are easily
seen through, Sherman chanpioned it against the
interests Of the masses. He acted and spoke like
a feed attorney in behalf of those who would for
their own Pecuniary profit shaekle knowledge
| with grievous impositiOns. The Senate sustained
| the amendment by vote of p to o. thus estab-
fishing the principle that Harper Brothers profit
| in the book trade must be maintained by the aid
| Of the NariOual Legislature. How much does the
reader think this cost the book publishers?-Cfa-

GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE has refused
on behalf of Mrs. Lee, to accept the annu-
ity of $4,000 settled upon her by the Trus-
tees of Washington College. The Board,
however, has as deicately as possible in
timated to him that they must adhere to
their original plan. If General Lee still
declines and the trustees are anxious to
donate to party who won't refuse to ac-
cept, then let them tender it to President
Grant. Two to one he will gobble it and
ask for more.

IT is conceded that the Hon. ]. A. Amb-
Ter will be renominated for Congress by
the Republicans Of the Seventeenth Dis
trict. The opposition is unorganized, and
will be readily overcome. Amber is n
protectionist, and were his district as
thoroughly agricultural as it was twenty
years ago, he would be thrown overheard.

The Hon. ]. A. A. pretends he opposes
the Grant administration on its lsnd-grab-

We learn that Esquire Price, of Carroll
county, heretofore prominent Republi-
can of that county. has abandoned the
radical negro party. A few months since
he made a tour south, visiting various
places, dropping in upon Legislatures, etc
He looked in upon the motley crew of
niggers, earpet-baggers and scallawags
that compose the Legislature of South
Carolina, and after gazing a few minutes
at the disgusting sight, concluded he had
enough of mongrelism.

The Democrats and Conservatives of North Car
olina are preparing for the fall elections with de-
termination to secure a majority of the members
oi the Legislature and also Of the members of
Congress. Ex-Goy. Vance gives his voice and in
hnenee to the conservative cause. The people Of
North Carolina have every reason TO desire a
change in the control of the State government for
during the past two years, under radical rule the
State debt has increased from 10 to S3l 900 and
the taxes have become almost unbearable.

MECHANICS and worIingmen of New England
are greatly excited over the Chinese labor ques-
ton The excitement at North Adams, Massa-
chusetts, is intense and violence is threatened
The New York Herald Of Monday says:
"But il is not only in New England that this ex-
citement prevails. 1t has already spread to other
places. In Troy, in this State, mass meetinGef
workingmen has been held and n protest entered
against the importation of coole laborers Statis-
ties were shown where the Chinese had already
seriously reduced the wages OF certain kinds Of
labor in California, and in Massachusetts, thou
sands OF poor women employed in the shoemak-
ing business will be thrown out Of employment
The beauties Of race equality and XIV Amend
ment are soon to become apparent. This eoolie
business is only the slave trade revived. The
radical moneyed mongers and leaders are the
patrons Of this as-they were Of the other.

In the fall election in West Virginia the great
question will be the acknowledgements Of the ma
iOrity Of the population of that State 1t is said
that there are twenty-five thousand people now
disfranchised, and that these are not merely de-
prived Of the right to vote and to hold Office but
they are not even allowed to carry on many Of the
occupations of life-ReP and Rep.
The above shows the beauty of radical rule-in
fact the aniHlus Of the thing The same state of
things exist elsewhere over the south, and the
party leaders seem resolved TO continue their
rule by this sort Of tyranny 1t is five years since
the war closed and yet this despotism and infa-
nous state Of things continue and vet honest
men continue to vote for and keep these party
leaders in power.

WARRINGTON,
Bill Passed by the House
senate Restores the Income Tax,


FUNDING BILL PASSED.
The House to-day passed the bill to refund and
consolidate the National debt. All amendments
were voted down, and the bill goes to the Senate
about as It came from the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Even if it should pass, which is by no
means probable, the bill would not amount to
much, as It is entirely discretionary with the
Secretary of the Treasury whether he will en-
force it not. and it is very well known that he
Is opposed to it, The bill provides for the issue
of a thousand millions thirty year four per cent.
coin bonds, exempt from all taxation, which the
Treasury is authorized TO sell at par for eoin and
TO apply the proceeds to the redemption of any
hve-twenty bonds at their par value, or the Secre-
tary may exchange the new bonds for such five
twenty bonds for par. The Secretary is further
authorized, and in this respect is instructed, to
use IN his discretion, any coin that be eonVe-
nienty applied to that purpose, to pay at par and
cancel any six per cent. United States bonds
which have or may become redeemable by the
terms OF their issue The remaining feature of
the bill authorizes the Secretary to receive United
States gold coin deposit for not less than thir-
ty days, and issue certificates of deposit at a rate
not exceeding three per cent. per annum, which
coin may be Withdrawn ut ten days notice. Not
less than twenty-five per cent. of this deposited
in the Treasury shall be retained there for the
payment of said certificates, and the excess above
twenty-five per cent. may be applied, at the dis
erection of the Secretary, TO the redemption of
such outstanding bonds as have matured.

NoNVAAHNS Ilc ueIeat OF Grahts pet scheme,
the San Domingo treaty, the New York sun says :;
This event Is in the interest of morality and
sound policy, and we congratulate the country
upon it. The rejected treaty testers all over with
Jobs and swiudles. Ii was conceived in fraud and
brought forth in dishonesty and folly, and If Gen.
Grant has any capacity to profit by the rebuze in
Yolvod in its rejection, il may turn out good
thing for him after all II will teach him that he
must net obstinatcly insist upon any measure in
opposition TO the Judgment and will of the people,
also that II Is dangerous, and may be fatal for \
President TO agree secretly with foreign power

nal Is disgusted and says; The highest consid-
can party President, or has the Republican
