TERnIs OF rae DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. THURSDAY. DEC. Z. 1859.
NAY TIE BEST IAN WIN!

The division of forces between the Repub-
lican leaders over the nomination Tor the
Governorship. as foreshadowed by our Har-
risburg special, promises lively times, and
interesting developments. 1t Is asserted oy
authority that Delamater is slated tor the
nomination by the dictum of the United
States Senators. while Hastings is in the
field with the support of the opposition to
the dominant power in the party organize
ton. The union of the United States Sena-
tors on Gubernatorial candidate, with the
somewhat novel attitude of Magee, Dafzeu
and their friends as the outsiders, is nat
ural result of the tendencies which have
been prominent for the past year. The pos
sible outcome of the Senatorial course, IN
plnning their party supremacy on Della
mater NAV be productive of striking and
unexpected results, in one Of two ways.
In the first place, if the Senators should
fail in their attempt to name the Republl-
can candidate it would have an effect on
their political fortunes something like an
earthquake. Yet such possibility is by no
means to be ignored. The political forces
reported to be aligning on the other side are
not to be sneezed at. The dispensers Of
patronage cannot count on the expectation
of favors to come from the army of the dis
appointed; and General Hastings, backed
by the leaders who are opposed to Quay, is
a candidate whom it is not wise to set down
as a cipher.
In the next place, is it quite certain that
the nomination of Delamater by order of the
Senators would be equivalent to an election?
Political precedents in Pennsylvania may
return an affirmative answer; but there are
intimatious that new influences may be at
work next year. The strife between Repub-
Ncan leaders has reached stage which af-
fords no guarantee that knives would re-
main sheathed after the nomination; and it
is one of the undercurrents of political gos-
sip that in the case of Delamater's nomina-
ton the Democrats have a candidate in
training who would make the race hot
one.
With q fair field, we hope to see lively
fighting, and can impartially wish a victory
for the best man, both in the convention and
before the people.

SEEKING THE GRANGERS SUPPORT.

Farmers at Harrisburg.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
HARRISBURG, December 1.-THE Pennsyl-
vania State Grange prepared a large amount
of work to-day to be considered during the re-
naming days of the convention. Among the
resolutions referred to the proper
committee was one in favor of WILL
Jams Grove as the interstate picnic
ground, which, it is said by leading grangers.
will be adopted by unanimous vote. The
action by the State Grange on this subject is
considered necessary, because of the persistent
fight being made by the Agricultural Ex-
hibitors' Implement Union to change to Mt.
Gretna, on which, it is reported, Robert Cole
man, the owner, proposes to eXpend 100000 If
necessary to put the ground in proper condi-
ton.
State Treasurer Brown, who represents York
county in the Senate, gave sketch OF the way
in which the equalization tax bill was strangled
in the Senate Finance Committee, and Repre-
sentative Taggert, of Montgomery, entertained
his fellow grangers with description OF
the manner in which the dressed beef bill was
defeated. Neither Of the statements cast any
reflection upon the Legislature, but left infer
ences to be drawn by those who listened to
them.
Among those who mingled freely with the
delegates to the State Grange was Chauncey
F. Black, who expects to obtain substantial
support from grangers in his ambition to again
become candidate for Governor Of Pennsyl-
vario

PARTTEs Avn PRosPERTTY.

A very sarcastic letter. purporting to
come from q farmer, is published in the
Indianapolis Sentinel, which complains Of
the prices received for farm products, such
as cattle. The argument of charging the
decline in farm products to a party is the
merest Dartisanship; and as regards
the great mass Of agricultural prod
ucts, it is by no means certain that
the general range of prices for sgri-
cultural products is lower than it was
before. But the outbreak of the farmer
who complains that hogs are down to 40

GILBERT & SULLrvAN's new opera is
asserted to have made hit in London, and is
expected to have long run. But the trouble
is that some of the best work Of these authors
has met with the least success. 'Fhe Princess"
and "Iolanthe'' had really as much wit fun
and mueie in them as THE Pirstes," and more
than Patience" or "the Mikado," except as
the latter gave room for horseplay comedy.
The early death Of "Ruddygore" and THE
Yoeman Of the Guard" was deserved; but still
the popular taste in the matter Of comedy and
light music is a very uncertain quantity

SAVING LIFE AT SEA.
Recommendation of the Marine Conference
on the Subject.


WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE committee
appointed by the International Marine Confer
ence on life saving systems and devices has
completed its report. 1t declares that colliding
vessels should remain BY each other SO long
as consistent with their own safety. In
regard to life saving appliances to be car
ried on shipboard. the committee Is OF opinion
that the basis upon which an agreement be-
tween the several nations Is most likely TO be
Established is to be found in the rules Of the
Board of Trade of Great Britain, under the
"merchant-shipping, hfe-saying appliances act
Of 1888" which are to 60 into eneet on march
It is suggested that there is no present neces-
sity for action upon the subject OF extinguish-
ing fire on vessels. The commlttee deem IL I'M
ars cticabIe to formulate any definite rules for
saving life and property from sbipwrecked
vessels but make numerous suggestions IN the
line of efficiency in this direction.

As the alleged cyclone, which blew down
buildings at Jeanette. must have passed over
Pfttsburg, the presumption is rather strong
that the destruction was caused more by
the himsy nature of the buildings than by the
force of the wind. The strength of most Of the
wind storms which have overturned buildings
in this section can be discovered in the hasty
work of the builders.

The Past and rhs Fururs.

Chief Justice Fuller eulogized Washington,
alluded to the harmonious relations of this
country with foreign nations. spoke of the
auspicious opening Of the present century and
closed with this eloquent peroration: "And so
the new century may be entered upon in the
spirit of optimism, the natural result, perhaps,
of self-conhdence which has lost nothing in
substance by experience, though it has gained
in the moderation Of It's impetuosity, yet an
optimism essential to the accomplishment Of
great ends; not blind to perils, but bold in the
fearlessness of faith whose very conscious
ness of the limitations Of the present asserts
the attaiuability OF the untraveled world of a
still vrauder future No ship can sail forever

night This morning Mr.. Window came into

private nature. It was not his purpose to see
any financial men or bankers, and he is under
stood to have kept pretty quiet tongue re-
speeting public measures. Some OF the gentle
men with whom he had informal talk this morn
ing say that he has received private eommuniea-
tions from great many parts of the country
expressing confidence in his silver plan, and
that some Of these expressions are from men
who are publicly regarded as opposed to it.
Mr.. Window says nothing about the refusal
of the President to recommend his proposition,
but there is no doubt that he feels little
chagrined that the President did not keep his
promise and refer to it with some expression of
favor.
