By the recent completion of the Pennsylvania and
New York Kailroad, which ts an extension of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad from Wilkesb.uve to the New
(,ik mate line, a new route has been opened Into
Northern Pennsylvania, interior New York, Bulfalo,
Niagara Falls, and the great West, by the way of
the North Pennsylvania, I.ehigh Valley, and Erto
Kailwavs. PasfeiiRers taking the North Pennsyl
vania express train at t-45 A. M. reach W'averly the
same evening, and can either lay over at Waverly
-and have choice of several Erie express trains the
next day, or go directly on to any point with which
the Erie Railway has connections. This route, in
arrying out the llrst conception o the originators of
the North Pennsylvania Kailroad passes through a
region new to the majority of Philadelphia tourists,
Abounding In beautiful scenery ami thriving towns,
and being almost an air line between its two termini,
oilers to both business and pleasure travel, speed,
comfort, and enjoyment. We learn that the volume
t passenger and freight tratllo that, has oilered since
the opening of the line Is sueh as to warrant, the be
lief that it will be a favorite route for both business
and pleasure.

LEGAL irjgSLLIGErjCI!.
Court of (tuurtcr Session Judge Pclrce.
THE NEW TERM.
This morning his Honor Judge Peirco opened the
November term of the Criminal Court, appointing
Lewis Brown, Esq., foreman of the Grand Jury,
which body, as constituted to-day, numbers thirteen
members, charging the Grand Inquest as to the
duties they would be required to perform. The
Judge referred to the indifference with which the most
important topics were again and again commended
to the attention of Grand Juries by the Court, and
by Grand Juries reiterated to the public, one of
which was the deplorable condition of our prison
accommodations, and the absolute necessity for Im
provement. This fell so unheeded upon the public
eat that it was almost a waste of time to advert to
it again. The only remedy for the evil was legis
lative action upon the subleer. If Clly Councils will
not attend to it, the Legislature must intervene, as
tiny have had to do in other matters. As
bad been frequently said lrom this bench,
the whoie prison system here was in sad
need of revision. The prisoners were kept in idle
nef s, fed, and clothed id the public expense, and not
punl.-hed otherwise than being restrained from
access to the public. As Judge Ludlow had recently
said, thc.v should be kepi ut hard labor, not solely
lor punishment, but also for reformatory purposes,
for 11 the convict was kept closely at work lie would
have no time to plan or execute transgrausnions
against the law, and the habit of constant work en
gendered In him in the prison, and the sure convic
tion thatu pon a repetition of his offense he would be
returned to the laborious routine of prison life, upon
his release he would prefer to labor on his own ac
count rather than for the public.
Another fruitful source of erime and complaint
was the l.umense liquor traillc, which grows every
day in this city. The licensed rum-shops here are
counted by thousands, and perhaps the unlicensed
number in the same proportion. From hla, the
Judge's, residence, at Seventeenth and Hace streets,
down Hace to the Delaware, are actually si.tv-four
drinking houses. From this trade the city derived
not one dollar, and the only revenue accruing from
it was to the State, and that dwindled
into insignlllcance when compared with the enor
mous amount of crime if. caused. This matter re
quired tho most earnest utlcntiou of tin! Grand
Jury. A "whisky ring" was also said to exist In the
city, organized for crime, employing hired agents
lor assassination, all in defiance of law. And how
long was this to be subm'tted to 1 I'nlll the autho
rities took upon themselves to ferret out its mem
bers and punish tlieiu. The Grand Jury was enti
tled to consider these matters, and present to tho
Court any circumstances that should come to their
know ledge, and be deemed presentable here.
The gentlemen were dismissed to their room ror
business.

HELL.
An Original Dimiulniiion by Oliver Dyer.
From t)ie A'. '. Sun of thin morning.
Mr. Oliver Dyer, In the Cooper Institute, last even
ing lectured on Hell. He said that awakened sluners
troubled themselves more particularly to keep out of
hell than to get into In aven. They gravitated to
wards thoughts of the former, because the elements
of hell existed within them. Orthodox Christians
charged that New Churchmen made heaven too solid
and tangible, describing men with their dresses, and
depleting houses and fields.
At the same time the orthodox made hell equally
tangible with material firo. Men best realize hell
because hell generally exists within them to a greater
degree than heaven. The whole business of going
to hell or going to heaven, the lecturer said, was
purely phllosophinal. There were no rewards or
punlsliinwnts in the case, but merely logical conse
quences. If a child took a hot iron in its hands, Its
mother Nature .lid not box Its ears, but allowed the
logical consequences ol burnt lingers to ensue. The
origin ol ascribing wrath to God was entirely Pagan,
and wrath was to this day an attribute of the heathen
world was like that of a inas8. of persons with dis
eased eyes brought to the light.
Some can face tho brilliance of the sun, others can
only endure shade of various degrees, and othors
again shrink back to their former darkness, or hell.
Mr. Dyer closed with an assurauce that hcaveu
would not enter the souls of those who did not for
give others their trespasses, as they themselves
orayed to be forgiven, nor yet of those who in their
business relations In any way deceived or took ad
vantage of those with whom they dwelt. Going to
church, and slnglDg empty praises to God, he said,
was not so much man's duly as carrying fully out
in practical hie the principles of right. Mr. Dver

Prolmble .tlnrder In Delaware.
The Oivm.ercial, of Wilmington, Del., published
Die following on Sirtnrday :
A man by the name ol Joseph Ileum, a farmer,
living near Whllcsvlllo, In Broad Cr; k Hundred,
Delaware, f.mnmlucd a murderous ami brutal as
sault upon tits wife, on Thursday evening, the 21st
instant. The following appear to be the particulars
of the case ss far can be ascertained: Hearn
having been at Salisbury through the day, came
home In the evening considerably under the Influence
of liquor. A Utile child, ton months old, being very
fretrni, 1 1 earn proposed nursing It while his wire
prepared sirpper. Becoming exasperated at the
continued fretfuiness ol the child, he gave it a sling
nml threw it into an adioining room.
Mrs. Hearn, desirous of ascertaining whether the
child was hurt, started to pick It up, but being pre
nted from doing so by her husband shutting the
child In iho room, hIic went around and entered by
an outside d"or and got. tho child and was about, re
turning to her work, when she was met by her hus-
luiiol. wlm Hiiutflicil I lin I'hilil frniii her mill threw It
viol ntlv upon the floor, 'and catching his wile struck
her, threw her down, and kicked her. She then got
up and said, "Now. .foe, ir you d'ttnat agiin I m
not live another day with you." Exasperated, he
again caught her. saving, "You won't,
oh!" and struck her violently and
again threw her on the floor, kicking
and beating her so brutally that It Is since reported
and generally believed that the woman has died of
the Injuries received. Hearu linding that, his wife
was not likely to recover, has left the State, lint not
before a week had elapsed from the time of com
mitting the brutal assault. No attempt whatever
was made to arrest him, Tho unfortunate woman
ts said to be very respectably connected, and a thrifty
industrious housekeeper, while Hearn, while belong
ing to a respectable family, has always been an out
'aw, he having once before left tho State to avoid
arrest for committing a larceny.
THE NEW VUIIK MONEY HI Alt KET,
The following extracts show the state of the New
York money market ou Saturday:
From the Herald.
"The salient and rnrlnus feature of the llnancial
situation is the abundance of money in New York
and tho scarcity of it in the other cities of the coun
try. During the two weeks which have Just elapsed
the rate on call loans ranged from from four to seven
percent. At times the llgure did not go below five
percent, and frequently not beyond six, but tho ex
treme fluctuations were within the limits above speci
fied. In seeking an explanation of this rare state of
a (lairs, we shall find new proof of the fact that the
progress of our city is still toward the position of
employer and capitalist lor all the varied enterprises
of the'l'nion. In previous years, at this season, our
local money market has beeu characterized by the
greatest activity, if not stringency. A year ago money
In Wall street was worth from ten to a hundred per
cent, per annum, sueh was tho- demand created by
the heavy shipments if currency to the West and
South. The old stale of all'alrs litis been looked for
day after day, aud lenders have, as a general tiling,
refused to make time loans, expecting a recur
rence of the periodical fall stringency. But the
season has so far advanced and the abundance of
funds at this centre Is so great that many are
Inclined to think that money can hardly be active
beyond the legal rate of interest. The money de
manded by the South commenced going in the sum
si. er, and its drain lias been so steady that its ub
ince is not felt, while the great fall iu stocks oy the
f aille of last month has released u margin more
than sulllclent to meet the continuance of the de
mand from all sections. Week before last i here was
a considerable movement of the crops from the
West, but It has beeu checked and sus
pended by the decline in gold. Tbe reports from
Chicago and Cincinnati record tho extreme
stringency prevailing in money at those centres.
The banks are almost barren of funds, and loans
commanded extravagant rates of Interest. The
dead-lock between the Fast and West, noticed a
few weeks since, aud which was partially freed by
the Initiation of shipments of wheat this way in the
middie of the mouth, lias again set in, owing to the
diversity of opsnion between the dealers in both
places. The Fast is uuable to export wheat at pre
sent prices. The Western speculators are unwilling
to sell at a suerilice. The money remains hero and
the crops tlieie. As for the scarcity of money in
Western cities, it is the natural result
of this situation. The speculators,
the "go betwcciiH," who live upon the
margin between the price of production and the
price of consumption, have drawn down their depo
sits in the Western banks to par the Tinners. Until
thev can ship their purchases both they uud tlielr
banks are devoid of muds. N-jw York, standing in
the relation of capitalists to all sections, says to the
West, we cannot buv your wlcat because we cannot
sell it except, at a loi,s. Our city has not only its
capital, but the surplus originating from the protits
made In being the entrepot of tho country with the
world. LTertslofore this surplus has beeu largely em
ployed in carry ii.g the stocks aud securities of Wall
street. But the panic- has produced a shrinkage
of twenty-Uvo to filtv mi'iioas in the value
of these securities. " There is, therefore, a
margin over anil before the necessities of
Wall street equal to the surplus of profits, aud a
fraction of the capital underlying all our moneyed
operations. For this reason we llnd money almost a
drug in Wall street aud a prime necessity in other
parts of the country I'niortunately, however, this
abundance does not redound to the advantage of the
merchants, fesr lenders are so Infatuated with the
system of loans from day to day that there Is a gene
ral indisposition to deal in mercantile paper, and
hence we find the best notes passing at ten to fifteen
per cent, discount, when loans ou call are made at
one-half these rates. The usury laws are set so
utterly at defiance that in cases of stringency
lenders can obtain as much Interest In oue week
as they would ordinarily earn in a whole yeur.
Tho recent prosecutions by the Grand Jury
have only sharpened the practice of the street ou
this point, and while there was danger before from
the Irequent open violation of tho law, there is now
no risk whatever. Those who are familiar with the
technicalities of Wall street will easily understand
how in a tight money market, lenders, by the oroee.8
of buying stocks for 'ensh' and selling 'regular; in
one transaction, can obtain the most extravagant
rates for the use of their money, in the stringency
of the recent panic this plan was univer
sally adopted, and although It is virtual
nsury there It no portion of it on which to
hinge an indictment. However, tho evil may
cure itself, if wo may interpret the present
signs. We are now at the advent of November.
The money market must become stringent within
a week or two, or not at all. Last year the first
stringent dav wss October 20, and the last some
where towards the close of December. Then the
banks had but ten millions surplus to meet the
drain. This year they have twenty millions, while,
as the crops cannot move, except at a greatly re
duced valuation, as compared with last year, the
demand npon them cannot be near as great. The
weekly statement of the associated banks, presented
on Saturday, is quite favorable. There is a total
gain in reserve of over two and a half millions of
dollars against an increase in deposits of live mil
lions. The banks now hold in excess of the legal
reserve 10,3(1!, W7 an Increase durlugtho week of
nearly a million and a half of dollars. The Increase
in specie is due to the Treasury disbursement in
payment of the November coin Interest on the put),
lie debt. The gain In legal tenders Is trilling, but
any Increase at this time of the year Is remark
able." WT EDDING

KIDNAPPED.
An Heiress Abducted.
Vma the X it Orleans AVu's, Or.'. 27.
A queer case of kidnapping has Just transpired,
and in some of its aspects it is highly romantic.
Chief of Police Culu several days ago received a
telegram from Dr. Cessan, residing near Grand Gulf,
Mississippi, to the effect thut his child, a little girl
ten veers of age, had b jen kidnapped by her uncle,
John Cessun, and than she was probably at that
time In New Orleans. Several detectives undertook
the search, 1 ut their elloits proved unavailing. The
only clue given In the despatch was that the child,
while in the Immediate vicinity of her father's
house, had been dressed in boy's clothing, and would
in all probability be passed oil as her uncle's son.
On Sunday the case was turned over to Special Olll
cer Cunningham, and. after a lengthened search, lie
discovered they had been here, out left a day or
two before for St. Augustine, i'lorlda. Telegrams
were sent to St. Augustine, St. Marks, Appalachl
cnla, and Pensacola, and on Monday the two were
arrested' in the last-named place by Marshal Mc
Closkey. As the kidnapped child has a great deal of
property In her own right, it is supposed her grand
mother, residing In I'lorlda, employed Dr. C'essan's
brother to do the kidnapping.

JEFF DAVIS.
A Victim of n llurbiiroiiN Iteculiition.
1'itnn the Seio Orleans 1'ioayunc, Oct. 26.
This distinguished gentleman (Mr. Jefferson
Davis) arrived on the steamship Cuba last night, as
was announced iu our morning edition, but with
other passengers, in accordance with a barbarous
repe!it1on which late oppressions have brought Into
existence here, just as they are being abolished, or,
at least, modilled by tho most tyrannical of govern
ments, was not permitted to land until this morning.
1'e is accompanied bv his brother, Mr. Joseph L.
Davis, and his niece, Miss K. Mitchell. They are
staying with his niece, Mrs. Stamps, ou Caroridelet
street.
It will gratify tho harfs of our Southern people
to lenrn that, notwithstanding the reports wo have
had from abroad that the health 6t Mr. Jefiersm
Davis whs bad aud declining, ho has come
among us looking and feeling better than at anv
time since the war. So fresh and vigorous Is lie
that ho locks as if there had not been a war that
had ended in disaster to him and his; and he seems
as able to manage and put through any great enter
prise as he was ten years ago. lie remains, here
only two or three days, going hence to Bayou Sara
nnd thence to Mississippi, but he may return to us
afterwards. We hope he may be ludueed to do so.

Despatch to The Keening Telegraph,
Boston, Nov. 1. a sold broker of Boston
having written to Secretary Boutwell asking
him to sell gold at auction in this city, he gives
tbe following reply:
Teeasckt Department, "Washington, Oct!
29, D309. Dear Sir: In reply to your communl- "
cation of the 20th Inst., recommending sales of
gold in Boston, I Lave to say that the subject
has been considered. I find upon inquiry that
the receipts of ?old at tho Boston Custom
Ilouse do not exceed tho payments; henco
we could not sell in Boston without shipping it
from New York, while in all other cities where
gold is sold In small quantities the receipts ex
ceed all ordinary payments in coin. Upon these
facts I have declined to make sales in Boston
and incur the expense nnd risk of moving coin.
I niu, very respectfully,
