THE PITTSBURGH AND CON
NELLSNILIE X. IL.

From the Pittsburgh papers We See that
"a meeting ofthe stockholders Of this road
will be held in that city on the 10Th inst,
to take into consideration the purchase
by the road. of the stock owned by the
city Of Baltimore, and such other matters
a. will be Of benefit to the future pros
poets of the road. Heretofore the com
panv has been much embarrassed, and
have been able barely to meet their
actual running expenses. Now, though,
Il strong effort will be made to arrange
all it. affairs in proper shape, 50
tina, the road may be main
tanned. and made 20 work pros
perously. To this end it, officers are
endeavoring to wipe out certain claims
against it, by compromise or other
wise, and their plan, seem TO meet with
general approval. This is subject Of
interest to our people in view Of the eN-
tension Of the IIcmpiie!d road, which
will probably be carried into effect as
soon As the above arrangements are com
pleted. We alluded the other day to the
sale ofthc Baltimore stock in this con-
nection; and the coming action of the
stockholders j. an earnest oftheiT intcn-
ton to push the whole movement for
ward TO success.

Now WE are likely to have legal
aght over the Schiller. 1t seems that
arrangements had been made to transfer
all the property of the Eagle to the
Hamburg Line, and she was on her last
voyage rs the property Of the former
line. She was to have been transferred
10 her new owners upon arriving at
Hamburg. Now, a. she is lost, her value
is TO be deducted from the purchase
money to be paid for the stock OF the
Eagle Company and her insurance
money will go to the Eagle stockholders
She was valued at $4,000, and was
insured for 100000, which, if collected
will give profit to the said stockholders,
of $35O,OOO The insurance companies
it is thought, will fight the matter as
hard IL, possible before paying the
money,

Mr. DAVID A. WELLS paper on the

Association. cor tains much valuable IN
formation. We learn from Mr.. Wells
that three men With machinery can now
make more boots and shoes than could
six men unaldcd in 1860; We have 10000
more miles of railroad to aid in the work
of exchange and distribution; We send
our kilograms for half their cost fifteen
years ago and finally, taking the Penn
sy.vania Railroad Il, type, our freight
costs Us las cents per ton per
mile, rs compared with al
cents in 1864. The last fifteen
years have worked wonders. That this
wonderful and continued increase has
been attended everywhere with a rise in
the standard OF comfort and leisure is
both proved by the most superficial OBJ
servation and great variety Of statistics
which. though vet differentiated ar" IN

the wealth of the United States in 1876
was estimated ut $250OO,OO00OO. "Thls,

THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS,

That eminent representative ol tn"
Independent Press Of the United States,
the Springfield RcpuJfra,, has recently
heed engaged in libel suit, brought
ngainst it by public man, whose private
acts il criticised. Action for S2j 900 wa.
brought, and owing to certain peculiar
circumstances in the case, verdict of
500 damages was given. This has led
the editor Of that paper into looking
quite closely into the law of libel, and IN
in the course of researches he has come
upnn comments made 10y the Lord Chief
Justicc of England, in Il cas-" where the
London Times was defendant. In rem
Jerinr his decision, the English Chief
Justice took occasion to comment on the
change in the law that had occurred within
M. recollection. and, said he, in substance,
that it had been gradual change; a
process Of development rather than Il
violent revolution. The recognition 10y
the courts of the liberty OF the public
writer to comment upon the conduct and
motives of public men was comparatively
modern. Things were freely written and
printed every day that, fifty years earlier,
would have brought down fine and M
prisonment ON the heads OF both
writer and printer. In those older
DAYS comment in the modern style
ON the Ioins> of Il cabinet
minister, member Of Parliament, a
iudcc would have been the signal tor an
ey-ofHrio information, with the disagree
able sequels Just indicated. Yet who
can doubt" added the lord chief justice,
sthat the public are gamers by the cN-
change: and that, though injustice may
often be done, and though public men
NAV often have to smart under the sense
Of wrong inflicted by hostile criticism,
the nation profits by public opinion be-
ing thus freely brought to bear on the
discharge of public duties
From this it appears that the Lord
Chief Justice of England was fully senSi-
bile of the important service which an in
dependent newspaper renders to the
pubhc at large in canvassins the merits
or dement's Of public men. This
ervice is eminently useful in that it not
only causes public servants to guide their
lives carefully. but it opens the eyes OF
the people to the qualifications Of those

OUR WASHINGTON correspondent, under date of May ?, sends items concerning Ari- zonans, as follows:
 The man Greenfield, of Minnesota, who was, at first, thought to be the lowest bid. der for beef for Indians in Arizona, WAS un- derbid by Ker. ms, upon an average bid of S299. The contract was yesterday awarded to Curtiss, of Tucson, at S3.43 (Kerens with drawing his bid). Mir. Curtiss will remain in Cleveland few days and then go direct to Tucson.
 Gov. Mccormick is still here, but expects to start for the Pacific coast about June l5.
 Hon. II. s. Stevens IS in town attending to business connected with the Territory.
 pr. C. H. Lord is in New York.
 Charles Trumbull Hayden, of Hayden's Ferry, was in town one day last week.
Arizona weekly miner., 1875-06-18

NAH. WANTED.-0ne of the most urgent necessities of Arizona to-day is mail route from Wickenburg to Ehrenberg, which, with the line already established from here to Tucson, ria Wickenburg, would connect Prescott and Ehrenbcrg by mail All our supplies from California come by way of EhrenberE, and merchants and other ship pers are constantly annoyed by not being able Co communicate by mail with their for warding merchants and teamsters. Often &C., tual losses are sustained, and all for the want of, say semi-weekly mail, which would con- meet at Wickenburg with that already in op- eration from here to Southern Arizona. The route would be comparatively short one for Arizona, but it would be in the interest of commerce, and ought to be established. The letters that this mail would carry would nearly all contain matter relating to actual mercantile and freight business No love- sick eifusions or sickly sentimentalism that may be classed as luxuries, that can easily be gotten along without, but real genuine sub- stantials, involving cash and other material considerations.
