PITTSBURGH, May 18th.
Pittsburgh is to-day greatly interested
in the gatherings OF two large bodies,
which, in matter of origin and intent
are as wide apart as are the characters of
the individuals who compose them-l
mean the Sta.e Republican Convention
at Harrisburg and the meeting Of the
General Assembly tomorrow. The re-
ligious folk are buslly receiving the dele
gates to the Assembly, who will be ap-
pcrtioned amongst the true blue Presby-
terians OF which Pittsburgh boasts almost
as many TO the. square inch as town
IN Scotland or in the north of Ireland.
On the other hand politicians, irrespec-
tive of party, are discussing the merits of
the Republican nominees, and opinions
vary with the interest at stake. The Re-
publicans, however, are the most snxious.
Pennsylvania can no longer be counted
on for Republican msjorities. Neither
can Allegheny county, which has
changed from sure Republican 10000
TO $4,000 majority, to doubtful county.
And to complicale matters still more, the
National Green back Labor party assumes
strength and utterly confuses political
calculations. However, it may be jOtted
in your diary that Pennsylvania has set
down on the corrupt managers OF the Re-
publican party, and intends holding Its
position, Don Cameron's squirIning and
wrlggling to the contrary nctwithstand-
ing.
THE PLACE OF ASSEMBLY MEETING.
This afternoon [ visited the Third
Presbyterian Church, where the General
Assembly will meet. 1t is situated on
Sixth avenue, near Grant street. and is
one of the largest churches in the county.
The main floor is reserved for delegates,
placards to that effect being conspicuous
ly posted about. AS to decorations, there
are not many, nor are they elaborate.
A few festoons and boquets and flower
vases will be about all to relieve the
perculal sombreness of a Presbyterian
Church. The various rooms throughout
the large building have been assigned for
the use Of the respective committees TO
work in, and, by appearances, they will
have plenty OF it. Promptly at IL o'clock
tomorrow morning the Assembly will
be called to order.

HON. BEN ]. LEA.

Among the worthy and well
qualified aspirants for Supreme
Judge is Hon. Ben J. Lea, of
Brownsville. Mr.. Lea is a gentle
man Of profound attainments, and
a lawyer of acknowledged ability
and great experience in the profess
sion. In saying this We but utter
the opinion of all who know Mr..
Lea. His position as a lawyer and
his success at the bar entitle him
to the respect, confidence and es-
TEEN of the public, whose interests
could not be entrusted to a clearer
head or a more faithful heart. Mr..
Lea is and has ever been a consist
ent Democrat, yet in his devotion
to party he has been characterized
by a magnanimity Of sentiment
aud a generosity of purpose not
less exalted than ingenious, The
Democracy Of West Tennessee
i'll the selection of a suitable
incumbent for the Supreme
bench would make a %judicious
choice by its preferment for
this gentleman. The grave re-
sponsibilities and the intelligent
duties of the highest State court
would find in Mr.. Lea a Just recog-
milton and a prompt discharge. We
do not know what strength Mr..
Lea will have in the Democratic
convention, but feel assured that
his claims will not be ignored. On
the contrary he has many influen-
tial friends who have urged him to
become a candidate, and they have
good cause to believe hat his nomi-
nation is not improbable. We
would not regret Mr.. LEAFS nomina-
ton, which is equivalent to his
election.
