THE Secretary Of Union League IN
New Orleans has written to the New
York TrJ,me what purports to be
another speech by General SHERMAN IN
which he complains that he was mis-
represented by the pablishel report OF
his former speech. lie also declares
he positively declines any offer OF a civil
or political position II this report be
true, though we do not see any more
reason for giving it credence than the
other. it efIectuaIly spikes the guns OF
the New York Herald and other papers
that have lately been afflicted with a
furious desire to make General SHERMAN
a candidate for the Presidency. His
position, rank and pay as General Of
the army Of the Cni'ed States are pre-
ferable to the turmoil and scheming
and disduiet Of the Presidential office.

Funny Situation.

1t is always dangerous to poke
around" a neighbours house at night,
however friendly the intention. The
accidents related here, which proved
so laughable, might have been fatal to
two men: A citizen Of Lyons, y. V,
recently stopped at the house of friend
to get a drink OF water. No one re-
spending to his rap upon the door, he
raised the window, intending to enter
and help himself. Just as be introduced
his head the sash fell, and being unable
to raise it again, he found himself a
prisoner. The owner Of the premises
hearing the noise, and thinking only OF
the burglars and murder, fled fast and
far to the yard, but in his flight fell
into a hogshead OF water which his
fright had caused him to forget. No. l
hearing the splash, and diyining the
cause, began to laugh immediately,
Notwithstanding his unpleasant position,
and thus attracted the attention OF a
passing friend, by whose exertions both
parties were released from their
ludicrous situation.

Flies on Horses.

The Journal Of Chemistry gives thu
following as a preventive of horses
being leased by flies: Take two Oh
three small handfuls of walnut leaves
upon which pour two or three quarts O.
cold water, let it infuse one night and
pour the whole next morning into a
kettle, and let it boil for a quarter OF ar
hour. When cold, it will be fit fol
use. No more is required than to
moisten a sponge, and before horse
goes out of the stable, let those parts
which are most irritable be smeared
over with the liquor, viz: between and
upon the ears, the neck, TANKS, etc
Not only the gentleman or lady who
rides out for pleasure will derive pleas,
ure from the walnut leaves thus pre-
pared; but the coachman, the wagner,
and all others who use horses during
the hot months.

The Best Way to Raise Peas.

The best way to raise peas in the
garden, to avoid the trouble of brush, is
to take boards about eight or ten inches
in width and FIVE or six feet long, to
sharpen one end and drive into the
ground crosswise the rows, and SOW the
peas in double rows four or five inches
apart. Then drive shingle nails in the
edge Of the boards six or eight inches
apart, and wind Irvine from one board
to the other on each side, having the
boards about six feet apart. Then nail
strip of board on the top to keep the
standard boards from leaning towards
each other and all will be right The
same boards will last for years if taken
up in the fall and put under shelter.

800, 900 Levied and Can't
Stand Scrutiny.

We are advised that some OF those
who have been manipulating the school
funds in this county, are quaking at the
thought of having their conduct in
this regard inquired into, and that
some, perhaps, will be where the
woodbine twineth - when they are
called upon to show their hands. We
are credibly informed that the enor-
nous sum Of one hundred thousand
dollars has been levied and collected
in this county since the close Of the
war, for school purposes, and we daily
hear the inquiry, where has it gone?
and echo answers where?
The able and laborious State Superin-
tendent of Free Schools is industriously
engaged in selecting good men in every
county of the State to thoroughly in
vestigate the transactions OF the school
officers, and to unearth their dark deeds
and hold them responsible for the mis-
application Ito use mild word) of the
peoples money. In several of the town
ships Of this county large sums have
been collected, and have not been ap.
piled to the purposes for which they
were intended, and remain unaccounted
for. Some of those whe are known to
have handled these sums, when ques-
toned as to the purposes for which they
have been used, become as dumb as
oysters. The truth can, and will be as
certained, and we feel assured that the
commissioners of this county will spare
neither time nor labor in making an
exhaustive examination of the compli-
Gated transactions Of our learned and
willy school officials How much has
been loaned to spectators? How
much has been divided amongst the os-
ficials to be used in their own behalf?
How much sent by school officers from
one point to another, and by the hand
of school officers, and which has not
been paid over? All this will be known.
The law provides summary mode Of
dealing out justice to any one who has
not been faithful either in much or
little. Let the work begin.

BELLEvERNoN, Pa, May o, 10

BR,IEyERyoN, Pa, May 6, 1871.
To the Editor OF the Pittsburgh Commercial
The reorganization of the old Hemp
field Railroad Company is now the chief
topic OF interest to the people OF this
section of Fayette and Washington
counties The very fact that w. o.
Hugbart, ESQ, is President Of the new
com pany is sufficient guaranty that
the road will be speedily pushed to
completion in its connection with the
Pittsburgh and Connellsville railroad.
We have no fears Of the result when we
know the man is at the helm who, by
his indomitable energy and financial
ability, completed under almost insur-
mountable obstacles the Connellsvllle
extension to Cumberland. A moDu-
ment cut from the everlasting hills
through which that road passes should
be erected to his name. :,
The great question to us now Is, shall
the Hempfeld as completed pass over
the Monongahela at our town? Under
the old policy when Greensburg was the
point to be reached, this route was sur
viewed by the late Chas. Ellet, Jr., and
pronounced eminently practicable, but
too far south. Now when the Connells'
vile railroad is the point to be attained,
we claim to have by nature the most
direct and cheapest routes, and we are
willing to rely on these two facts for our
success. In connection with this sub
iect, some Of our friends below propose
that a consolidation be effected with the
branch road from this place to West
Newton, so as to have direct connec-
ton with Pittsburg from Wheeling.
The distance from Wheeling to Arnle-
vile, on the Connellsville railroad, is
sixtv-four miles, and the distance
from the latter place to Pittsburgh
is twenty-six miles, making the
whole distance by this route
from Wheeling to Pittsburgh ninety
miles-or the same distance as by the
Wheeling and Pittsburgh railroad.
With the crossing OF this road and the
completion OF the Valley road on the
west side of the river, our town will as
sumo an important position, and already
we see the effects in the demands for
houses and the erection Of new ones.
We suggest just here that the new or
ganization under the title Of the Wheel.
ing, Pittsburgh and Baltimore Railroad
Company, obtain control Of the Pitts,
burg h and Virginia Railroad Company
so as to have the pier right to the east
side of the river from Pittsburgh to the
State line. Whilst that company is in
its infancy, such an arrangement can be
readily effected.

WHEELING, PlTTSBURG AND
BALTIMORE.

We copy from the Pittsburgh C'"'
merciai OF Yesterday letter from cor.
respondent at Bellevernon in relation to
the Wheeling, Pittsburgh and Balti-
more RAILROAD. The idea seems to be.
and we have heard some similar sug-
gestions from other sources, that the
interests OF Pittsburgh are to be more
carefully provided for by the new com
PAW than are those Of Wheeling BY
running the extension Of the Hempfield
to an intersection with the Councils
vile road at a point as near Pittsburgh
as possible, the distance between Wheel
Ing and Baltimore will not be very
materially shortened and all our hope
of being on the main line between Balti
more and the West will again be disap-
pointed 1t is our interest to tap the
Connelsvile road as far east OF Pitts
burgh as is consistent with straight
line from here to Cumberland, and thus
make the new road short line upon
which Wheeling shall he one of the
principal points.
The point OF intersection with the
Connellsville road has not yet been pub
licly determined 1t is not definitely
known whether West Newton, Belle
vernon, Layton's, or some other point
farther east or west than either Of these
will be ultimately chosen. But the
fact that Pittsburgh Seems to exercise a
controlling influence in the organiza-
ton and Directory Of the new company,
creates the impression that the inter
e5ts OF Wheeling will receive but sec
ondary consideration at the hands Of
the present board. 1t may be that
having been so often disappointed here
tofore, our people are unduly suspicious
OF all railroad corporations, but, at all
events, it might be well for us to know
exactly where the new road proposes to
run and at what point it will intersect
the Connellsville railroad, before max
ing very large calculations concerning
the benefit that will result to Wheeling.

THE people of Moorefeld, Hardy
county, and Cumberland, Nd, are dis
cussing favorably the project of a mar
row-gauge railroad between those
points. The distance is forty miles and
it is estimated that the entire cost OF
building and equipping the road will
not exceed 100000, or $4,000 per
mile. A convention to take action IN
reference to the matter is to be held IN
Moorefield on Thursday, the first day OF
June, and delegates will be in attend
apce from Cumberland and from va
rious points along the line. 1t is
thought that the necessary funds can
be raised for the immediate execution
of the work.

THE Missouri Democrat has been look
ing after the railroad operations Of Mr.,
Thomas Scott, and here is what it says
of them and him Considerable merri.
ment was occasioned last winter by the
motion Of one Of the members Of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, to the effect
that if Tom Scott has no further bust,
ness with this House, l move that il
now adjourn 1t now appears that
Tom Scott has been enlarging the area
of his empire, and that he has annexed
New Jersey to the keystone State, and
is reaching after Ohio. The Penn
svlvania Central Railroad Company, OF
which he is the President and ruler,
have leased the New Y rk Transporta-
ton Company, the Raritan and
Delaware Railroad Company, the
Philadelphia and Trenton Rail-
road Company, also the Camden
and Amboy Railroad Company. This
gives them control, too, of the West
Jersey Railroad Company, the Salem
and Camden railroad, the Mount Holly
and Millville Railroad Company, the
Freehold and Janesburg Railroad Com
PAW, and about every other local rail-
road in New Jersey. The New Jersey
Central railroad keeps itself to Itself.
As New Jersey has for years been ruled
by the Camden and Amboy, and as the
Camden and Amboy is at last swallow
ed up by the Pennsylvania Central, it
is very evident that New Jersey has
passed under the sway of Tom Scott.
1t might have a worse ruler, it certain
ly could not, haye a much better rail
road King.

A LETTER from George L. Downing
the well known colored FISHERMAN and
longtime Congressional caterer, is
printed in the New York Herald, which
aptly terms it "Bivalvular Boomer
ang." 1t shrewdly exposes the hollow
ness Of the Radical professions regard
! irg the colored men, for whom, Mr..
Downing says, it is painfully evident
there is a lack Of due respect on the
part of the Republican party. He goes
on to say that "a majority Of those
known 10 Republicans in their example
practically illustrate Judge fancy 5
declaration, that black men have no
rights that white men are bound to re-
spect.' ] sat not long ago iE the Senate
OF the United States, and heard one Of
the most noted Republican Senator's
declare, without restraint or cover, that
he was opposed to enfranchising colored
men; that he supported their enfran-
chisement as a necessity. Iheard a no
less distinguished Republican Senator
record his vote against allowing persons
of African descent to he naturalized.
see determinations made daily by the
party that are odious, unfair, ungener
Gus, depressing; that show lack Of re-
spect for colored men. | see the party
today prescribing men or account OF
their color, by legislation, in. cases in
which it has the power and an unques-
tionable right to act-cases in which
duty demands action. If the Republi-
can party shall create and encourage
the idea that it does not care for the
colored man, only to use him, and if the
Democratic party shall even profess to
practice the declared tenets Of the Re
publican party, as affecting the colored
mans rights, inroads upon the Republi-
can party would be made.
