Inquirer. BEDFORD, PA„ FRIDAY, NOV. 2tt. 1867 OUR TREASURY POLICY. Under the above caption the New York 'lrtbunt of the 15th inst, turns its back up on the policy of contraction which it so per sistently advocated a year ago. We are glad to seethe Tribute at last cry "hold, enough" on the subject of contraction. Contraction, in the eyes of many, has long been deemed the only road to specie pay ments, and to specie payments, the salva tion of the country in their estimation de mand that we should come straightway. A year ago the privilege of contracting four millions a month was granted to Secretary McCulloch, when all these financial doctors set up a howl, because the secretary was not allowed discretionary power in the contrac tion of the currency, though a contraction of 48 millions a year had never Ix-cn heard of in the whole history of finance, without financial convulsions. A year ha- passed by since the passage of this restricting act. the secretary having gone to the full limit of his authority to contract the currency. What is the result? stoppage of business, dullness of trade, general stagnation. How does gold stand compated with one year ago? 140 then 141 now. A years contraction and gold is higher and wc arc further now thaff then from specie payments. Evi dently our doctors of finance arc quacks. McCulloch along with the rest, The Trih t'w! sees its folly and changes its policy, wc hope many more will do the same. It has long been charged by the same parties that a redundant and inflated currency was the cause of all our troubles? J.t t • sec how our present condition in this respect com pares with that at the beginning of the war in 1861. We then had in circulation accord ing to Secretary Chase"s estimate Gold $275,000,000 Bank notes 202,000,000 Making a total $477,000,000 On the first day of November, 1807 we had in circulation according to the report of the controller of the currency Legal Tenders $157,000,000 National Bank Notes 203,000,000 State Bank Notes aboot 4,000,000 Fractional Currency 27,000,000 Total $481,000,000 Here we find only about $4,000,000 more of a circulation than in 1861. Without Hi- lowing for any increase in ihe business of the country in the past six years, the fact that the price of everything has doubled while that of many things has trebled and quadru pled, would vindicate that at least double the amount of circulating medium would be required to transact the same amount of business, when in fact we have only an in crease of about a hundredth part of the cir culation then existing. In 1861 there was no premium on gold. With only half as large a circulation in proportion to prices and business in 1867 gold commands a pre mium of 40 per cent. Such facts ought to make it evident to the dullest comprehen sion that our trouble is not with an inflated currency, and that contraction cannot brine us to specie payments. Let Congress then at once repeal the 4,000,000 act and stop contraction, and save us from the financial ruin to which McCulloch's policy is carry ing us at a headlong pace. Nothing can be clearer than that contraction is not our remedy for the financial ills that beset us. In a retrenchment of our expenditures, a bet ter adjustment of our Internal Revenue system, and the abolition of the cumulative taxes that now oppress business and enhance prices, will be found the true path to specie payments and general business prosperity. No more important business can be brought before the Congress about, to as semble tban the regulation of the currency, the adjustment of taxes and the simplifica tion of our Internal Revenue system. If our representatives would benefit the Re publican party and the country, let them give more of their time to those vitally im portant subjects and less to President mak ing during the coming winter. The people expect it of them and have a right to de mand it. Let our representatives remem ber that their work is National, not parti san,and that the people will pronounce upon their faithful performance of it at the bal lot box in 186$. MEETING OF CONGRESS.

MONTGOMERY, NOV. 23.—The Conven *lj?- V*'" a y passed an ordinance imposing an additional tax of ten per centum of the taxes otherwise assessed on the taxable property of this State, for the purpose of paying the expenses of the Convention, to be assessed and collected during the tax year of 1868. The Bill of Rights of the constitution provides, among other things: ' That all men are created equal; that they are endow ed hy their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among those are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and that all per sons, or classes in this State who ire, or may be, declared citizens of the I uited States by the constitution thereof, are here by declared citizens of the State of Alabama, possessing equal political rights and public privileges, without distinction of raee, color, or previous condition. The section in the bill of rights defining treason, as passed, says: "No one shall be convicted of treason except on the tcstimo ny of two witnesses to the same overt act, or upon his own confession in open court." The franchise article provides that those who shall be convicted of treason shall not exercise the right of suffrago. It is believed that all those persons who come within the $20,000 clause of President Johnson's amnesty Proclamation, and against whom proceedings were instituted in the State District courts who, on being pardoned ty the President, had to appear in court and enter the plea of pardon and guilty, are disfranchised by the new Consti tution. If this is correct, thirty or forty thousand whites are disfranchised at one blow in this .State. REPORT OF THE IMPEACHMENT COMMITTEE. The J\enulent to be Jmpeaclud.

To cure consumption, the system must be pre ; pared so that the lungs will heal. To accomplish this, the stomach and liver must first be cleansed , and an appetite created for good wholesome food, which by these medicines will be cigestcd prop > erly, and good healthy blood made: thus build ing up the constitution. Schenck'i Mandrake Bill's cleanse the stomach of ail billion- or mucous accumulations: and by using tho Sen Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored. Schcnck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well as medicinal, and by using the three remedies all impurities arc expelled from the system, and good wholesome blood made, which will rejiel all dis cuse. tf r.—i*' * ■ - - —— ■ cording to directions, Consumption very frequent ly in its last stage yields readily to then action Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and stomach. It does not follow that because Ibe bowels are not costive thev are not required, for sometimes in diarrho-a they are necessary.

Rational reader, if the aspect of the weather was uncertain, you would not be foolish enough to venture out without an oveicoat or an umbrel la. Have the forccost, then, to protect yourself that is dangerous season with something more important than either of these articles.

SO shall you mrety mope the diseases which fasten upon the feeble and the de bilitated. "Suffer and be strong," says the pro verb; "But be strong that you may not suffer" is the wiser maxim,—and of all strengthening pre parations this is the safest, the surest, Ihe most genial. As a remedy, as well ss an antidote, for dispepsia, fever and ague, and liver disruso, th-ro is no comoination oi vegetable specifics at present known which even approaches it in efficacy. ANTICIPATE THE ENEMY. The elements of innumerable diseases are afloat in this raw, damp, mephitic season. Will you defend yourself against them or not, good reader? That is the ,|Uestion. A bottle or two of the yrent defeneirt medicine of the aye, HOSTKT TER's BITTERS, will so st rengthen and brace up your bodily powers as to enable them to "laugh a siege to scorn." The morbid matter which was exhaled in perspiration through your pores in summer, finds no such free egress now. A pow erful counteracting agent is therefore needed, and you have it in HOHTETTER'h BITTERS. They neu tralize the materirt tnnrbi from which disease originates, and regulate all tho secretive organs.

'Flic Truth about Dyspepsia. Whoevcr says that dyspepsia it incurable, tells a—that ia to ay, makes tin egregious mistake. More than ten thousand aggravated eases have been cured by HOSTETTEK'S STOMACH BIT. TERS, while the number that have been prevent ed from coining to a hetul, by the same means, is incalculable. In this season of tbe year, when the appetite is sometimes too vigorous for the comfort and safety of the etomaeb, indigestion is most prevalent and most distressing, fs the appe tite to be balked to accommodate the digestive or gans? Not so; for then the frame would lack its due proportion of nuotim. nl. The thing to be done is to STBrxuTtfcx TUB STOMACH, tone the liver, and put the bowel? in perfect order. Not It ing will do this so effectually, so rapidly, so qui ctly, so pleasantly, as HOSTETTER'S HIT TER'S. This potent preparation trims nii.l bal ances the system, and clothe* it a? it wore, with defensive armor, t'hronie dyspepsia, liver com- plaint, and fever and ague are never known to at tack those who aro wise enough to invoke the aid of this great preventive. octt I IST OF JURORS drawn for Special Term J 2nd Monday, !th day of December, A.

The Union Pacific Railroad Company h.ie built a longer line of railroad in the ia-t eighteen ; months than was ever built by any other compa 1 nv in the same time, and tbey will continue the work with the same energy until it is completed. ' The Western Division is being pushed rapidly eastward from Sa< rainenta by the Central Pacific ! Company of California, and it is expected that THE ENTIRE GRAND DINK | to the Pacific will be open for business in 1871'. More thi',l OKI-third of the work hat ol ready keen -/owe, mora than our third of the whole Hat it not* ill runnintj order, and more laborert ore now em ! jdoyed a j,on it than crer before. More than FORTY MILLION DOLLARS IN MONEY have already been expended by the twopowerjul companies that have undertaken the enterprise, ■ and there is no lack of funds for its most vigorous prosecution. When the United Stales Govern ment found it necessary to secuie the construc tion of the Union Pacific Railroad, to develop and protect its own interests, it gave the Companies authorized to build it such ample aid as should reader it? speedy completion beyond a doubt. The 'availmeans of the Union Pacific Rail road Company, derived from the Government and j its own stockholders, may be briefly summed up as follower I.— I NITED STATES BONDS Having thirty years to run and bearing six per ; cent, currency interest at the rate of $16,000 per mile for 517 miles or. the Plains; then at the rate : of $48,000 pier utile for 150 mile* through tbc Rocky Mountains; thence at the rate of $32,1)00 per milt forthe remaining dsstance, for which the j 1 nited States takes a frond lien as security. The interest on these bonds is paid by the United States government, which also pays the company one-half the amount of its hills in money for trans porting its freight, troops, mails, The re ! maining half of these hills is placed to the com pany's credit, and forms a sinking fund which may finally discharge tee whole amount of this lien. The claims against the government since Upril of the current year amount to four and one half times this interest. 2 FIRST MORTGAGE BOND? By its charter the Company 'is permitted to is sue its own First Mortgage Bonds to the same amount as the bonds issued by the government, i and no more, and only at the road progresses. The j Trustees for the bondholders arc the Hon. E. D. Morgan, U. 8. Senator from New Y'ork, and the j Hon. Oakes Ames, Member of the U. S. House of Representatives, who arc responsible for the de | livery of these bonds to the Company in strict ac cordance with the terms of the law. 3.—THE LAND GRANT. The Union Pacific Railroad Company has a land grant or absolute donation trom the govern mcnt of 12,800 acres to the mile on the lire of the of the road, which will not be worth le.-s thau $1.30 per acre at the lowest v aluation. 4.—THE CAPITAL STOCK. The authorized capita! of the Union Pacific : Railroad Company is $190,000,000, of which over | $3,000,000,000 have been paid on the work already | done. THE MEANS SUFFICIENT TO BUILD THE ROAD. | Contracts for toe entire work of the building ; 914 miles of first-class railioad west frotn Omaha, comprising much of the most difficult mountain j work, and embracing every expense except sur j veying, have been made with responsible par- J ties (who have already finished over 500 miles), ; at the average rate of sixty-eight thou-and and I filty-eight dollars ($68,038) pes mile. This price includes all Dceessary shops for construction and repairs of cars, depots, stations and all other in cidental buildings, and also locomotives, passen ger. baggage, and freight cars, and other requisite rdling stock, to>Q amount that hn.ll cot be lcvt than $5,000 pier mile. Allotting the cost of the remaining one hundred and eighty-six of the eleven hundred miles assumed tube built by the Pacific Company to lie SOO,OOO per mile. THE TOTAL COST OF ELEVEN HUNDRED MILES WILL BE AS FOLLOWS: I'l I miles, at s69,n'iß $62,205,1112 !

While their whole value will not be available for seme year- to come, they will remain a very important ; source of revenue to the Company. The lands of the Illinois Central Railroad Company are sel ling at from $6 to sl2 per acre, and other land grant companies in the West arc receiving equal j prices r-.r similar properties. FUTURE BUSINESS | The most ,-keptica! have never expressed a doubt that when the Union Pacific Railroad is finished the immense business tiiat must Cow ot cr j it, as tbc only railroad connecting the two grand I divisions of the North American continent, u ill :>e one of the wonuers of railway transportation: and as it will have no competitor it can always charge remunerated rates.
