NOTWITHSTANDING the fast mails
have been discontinued over the Penn
sylyania and New York Central roads,
the trains which conveyedthese mails still
run as before; and the New York morn
ing daily papers. for whose benefit prin-
cipally, these fast mails were dispatched
are now carried on the same trains by ar,
rsngement between the publishers and
the railroad authorities. The New York
morning papers, therefore, still reach
Pittsburgh al $50 P. NJ. of the day OF
their publication, as heretofore-theonly
difference being they now come outside
the mail bags instead ofiuside. So the
government is likely to save few mil
lions of dollars in its postal service and
everybody still be accommodated as we'll

Moulton had conference Saturday with
Benjamin +, Butler and Roger A. Pryor,
his counsel in the action against Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher. 1t is alleged that
Moulton has determined, in view Of the
reversal of the decision of Judge Dyk-
man, to force Beecher, by the 9lst of
July, to make answer to the plaintiff or
let his case 60 by default.
The Advisory Council committee,
which convened Saturday to consider the
scandal, declare that they do
not think it e1pedient or proper
to examine into any allegations or
reports, or to hear testimony respecting
the same until such allegation or reports
have been embodied ir the charges which
shall have bsen made as aforesaid, by q
person who shall undertake to present
proef of the truth of the same before this
committee, to the end that thorough
trial shall be had thereof.

The official call for the primary meet

THE official call for the primary meet
ings and q county convention for the
nomination of candidates for County
Judge, Sheriff, Prosecuting Altorney,four
members of the House of Delegates, etc.,
is printed this morning in our advertis-
ing columns.
The primary or district meetings,
which are to be held on Saturday, August
5th, are requested to nominate their can
didstes for County Commissioner and
other district offices at that time, as
we'll as select three delegates TO the
county convention.
This selection of county Commissioners
Is matter of very great Importance to
the people of the county-of even greater
importance TO the taxpayers than the
election of a Sheriff, for the former levy
YOUR taxes, while tire latter only collect
them. The Sheriff has no authority to
ssy whether your taxes shall be high or
low; he can neither oppress yon nor do
you good; but the Commissioners levy
your taxes and spend them.
Whether your taxes for the next two
wears shall be high or low; whether your
mouey shall be judiclously and honestly
expended; whether your county is to
move forward or backward in improve
ments; these are matters entirely IN the
hands of your Board of County Com
missioners. And yet, nine out OF every
ten voters. are more interested in who
shall be Sheriff, or who shall be Prosecu-
