From Our Oton CTtpotulent,
IlARRisnuuo, Jan. It), 1871.
That oil is not peace and harmony In the
Board of Public Charities has been ma le appa
rent to-day by tho publication of a report ad
dressed to the Legislature bj' General Thomas
L. Kme, President of the ba.ird. The appear
ance of this document was totally unexpected,
and It Is deplored by the friends of the
measure establishing the commission. It seems
that there have been troubles between the mem
bers of tho board and the President, which have
prown to such proportions tUat it becomes the
duty of the Governor, or whoever has the
contral of the body, to luterpo?o hla authority.
Impedimenta have been thrown in tho way
of the boar.l, and they have as yet boon unable
to prepare the annual report directed to be
made by the act of Assembly. In addition to
this, the harmony usual amonj; gentlemen of
the character of thoso detailed for this special
duty of visiting correctional end charitable
institutions has been disturbed to such an extent
that it will never be restored until the axe has
been wielded ard a head or two lopped off. The
di6turbhm clement has been either the Presi
dent or the members of the board. The idio
eyncracles and eccentricities of tho former
and the hijih reputation of the Utter are too well
known by Pennsylvaiilans to receive any further
consideration at the hands of your correspon
dent. Tho accompanying report and tho one
which will bo issued by the remaining members
of a committee of which the General is chair
man will Ecn'e to throw some liht upon the
matter, and it would cert aiuly prove an interest
ing feature of the latter document, if tho trans
actions of the late meetings of the above com
mittee were divulged, and it might be the
means of accounting for the penning of the
present report of General Kane. Both sides
have their versions of theso diilleultlos, and It is
anticipated that the whole affair will, before
long, be given to the public.
One who seems to be posted says that it has
been manifest tor some time IhU the President
has been failing in health, and that he has be
come exceedingly morose and Irritable. Although
be attends all meetings of the board and its
committees, yet he has occasioned all sorts of
unplcneant feelings by a too free use of the
power conferred upon him as presiding olllcer.
The followlug is tho report of General Kane
in full:
1'nn.ADEi.rittA, No. mm Walndt Sr.,
January 10, lSTl.
To the II norable tin tit note and Hume of Reprciteiita
Uvea of the Oineral Amtmbly of ennnyloaifa
Gentlemen: The organlza'.i u of the Board of
Commissioners of Public Charities, under the act of
April 24, 1SC!, was for various reasons attended with
delay. A lull board was tlrst ootalned by the ap
pointment of the lion. Holster (Jlymer, who took
ins seat at me quarterly meeting or J Jtio , lsiU.
The eonimtssl'in, as at present organized, can
Blsts of lliester t'lymer, of .Realm?, appointed for
one year; diaries A. Woods, of i'ltisourj?, appointed
lor two years; George L. lHntsrin. of Piiilrlelphia,
appointed for three years; George Diwson Coleman,
i Lebanon, appointed for four years; 'f nomas L.
Kane, of Kane, appointed for Ave year.
Thomas 1 Kane was elected President of the
board, and Wilmer Wortlilaglou was appointed
General Agent and Secretary.
The board found themselves compelled to appoint
an additional Secretary under socti iii thlrcueu of
the act. For the sum of 11500 per aanum they were
able to secure the valuable bervlees of Dr. A. J.
Ourt.
I have not a favorable report to present you of the
"doings" cf the hoard during the p.st ye.tr.
The board consists of live persons, or six, In
cluding an oiiler who is tx ofir.o a member. Tho
law Imposes upon tho board deliberative as well as
executive duties. In such organizations numbers
are the opposite of an element of strength. The
attention of their agent aui secretary, too, not
having been suiib leutly devote! to t:ie important
duty of collecting the statistics ca'.l'ul for Uy suction
14 of the act, ooiue members of tho b ) ird may very
reasonably consider themselves uninformed upon
the necessary facts on which decided opinions
should be basd. A resulting intinuicy or purpose
would be naturally expected on the part of such
members when called upon to assume responsibili
ties In speech or action. These allowances 1 desire
to make, In fairness, before reporting the board to
jour honorable body and his Excellency tho Gover
nor of the Commonwealth for censure.
Although an imperiecUy digested compilation
from tl e legislation of other States, containing un
necessary rc petitions which In some cases appear to
conflict with each other, the general i:iaulug of tho
act of April 'li, 18C9, Is plain. In the llmse as well
as in the Senate distinguished numbers are no. v
seated who remember the debate upon its paage
and the state of public feeling at the time. Giving
the act the iieiielit of a simple anil honest commoa-
Ifense Interpietaiiou, It svrvt-s well enough the chief
Vurposcs fur which It was Intended. Its obseuri'.y
excuses no dereliction or duty on the part or the
ncnvinuais who accented under it me obligations
and advaiit; gt 8 ( f oiliee.
it is inv uuid'asant duty, men, to communicate to
you oirlclally my deliberately formed opinion that
me commissioners i ruouc uaanties nave ren
dered no service of respectable importance or value
to the istate; aud that they nave left wholly unper
formed dulhs which the pub ic conildently looted
to them to execute. They have relieved the Legis
lature of no responsibility, lu the consideration of
the appropriation bills of the present session, they
will be found but to have added to Its embarrass
ments. They have resolved to recommend the ap
plieationsof certain institutions to the exclusion of
others, Involving the State by their so doing (If the
Legislature should obey their recommendations) lu
committals of which they nave shown themselves
to be wlthont sufficient discernment to detect the
pracMcal bearing or the Important and possibly
very strious resulting consequences.
They have not made a thorough Investigation,
followed by outspoken reports, Into the condition of
any single poor-bouse, prison, or asylum In which
abuses wire alleged to exist calling lor their atten
tion. They are expressly required by section sixth to
ascertain and report to the Legislature whether the
charitable aud correctional institutions of the State
receiving State aid

the moneys cpproprluted for their aid.

themselves creditably if they had tx-en employed to

His Excellency Governor Oearv, In hla ann-.ial
mi sange to your honorable body, of the 6th lustnn
Rtntrd Hint the Hrst annual report of the Hoard of
l'ublic Charities would be presented to yon ea-ly In
the session. After the message was communicated,
the board held a meeting tlantiary, 11th InsUnt, nt
which they devolved the preparation and publica
tion of their report upon a special commutes of
which the president waa chairman, with Instrue.
tiona. The special committee held a meeting In
1'hilHdolphla, Saturday, January 14, at which it wai
fi rmally resolved to disobey these Instructions.
This It la believed by me was done with a view to
defeat the presentation of any report to your honor
abio bodies from the board exoept so fur as the
report of the general agent might claim to be con
sidered one.
It Is proposed to put the General Agent's report
Into the State Printer's hands this week. As a pub.
lie document. It will not be of a creditable charac
ter. The General Agent might very properly bo
forbidden to rnn np a bill for printing before being
siiihorized to do so by tho Gener-U Assembly.
The recommendations, bo called, of the ltoard of
rnbllc Charities, which will be laid before you, are
not entitled to more notice than the compliment
of their formal reception The commissioners ad
vocating the appropriations appear not to have
been qualllied, li they were so minded, to frame and
present to yon any well-ordered acheme or system
of chnritles. It requires an education, apparently,
to realize how grave agencies for evil are Invoked
by a reckless and Imp ovldent distribution of State
alms. A9longns the hoard continued unprovided
with a proper basis of faets ant principles to guide
them, Uify should have scrupulously refused to In
vite you to trlllo with the great Interests of the com
munity. Thomas L. Kank.

RKOKGANIZATION OF THE TREASCItV.
A bill is now h int: in tho Committee on Re
trenchment and Reform providing for the reor
ganization of the Stale Treasury. It provides
that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund
thail select nine banks ns State depositaries,
four to bo located In Philadelphia, three in
Pittsburg, and two in Harribburg. All funds
are to be placed Jn theso depositaries by tho
State Treasurer and interest placed to tho credit
of the State on monthly balances. A full report
of all transactions with the Treasurer is required
to be made to the Auditor-General once a
month.
A "LITTLB" WILLIAM.
A real healthy bill has been presented by Mr.
Smith, of Philadelphia. It has more privileges
than aro usually found Incorporated within the
tame epace. It is In the shape of a supplement
to the act incorporating the Germintown Cot
tage Company, an organization which received
considerable ventilation after the adjournment
of the last Legislature. The present "little
W illiam" is couched in the following language:
Whereat, The "Germantown Cottage Company,"
nnder and by the authority of the aet incorporating
the said company, was empowered, among other
lights and privileges granted, to construct such
"works aud improvements as may be deemed expe
dient and proper by them."
4id tehciran, A supplement approved the 23d of
February, A. D. 1870, to the aei incorporating the
mid "Germantown Cottage Company" coutemplates
did to "any contractor by advancing money to such
contractor, or by guaranteeing the execution of a
contract for the building, construction, or equip
ment of public or private improvements."
And whereat, Tho name and title of the said
"UermnntownUoUageOompany" have been changed
to that oi the '"Joiniuonweakh Improvement Com
pany," under and by uuthortty of a supplement ap
proved April 6, 1870, to tho act Incorporating the
6Uid ' The Germantown Cottage Company;"
New, therefore, in order the more cirectually ts
cany out the objects aud purposes of ttie said
charter and the supplements thereto, and to aid lu
the development and improvement of the country
Section 1. lie it enacted by the Senate and House
of lit presentatlvcs of tho Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, In vJeneral Assembly met, aud It Is hereby
enacted by the authority of the same, that tho said
'th Commonwenlth Improvement Company" is
hereby authorized to purchase and Sill railroad
stocks, bonds and other securities, aud to make ad
vances in mcney and credit to railroad and other
improvement, mining, and manufacturing com
punks, and to aid contractors, miners and manu
facturers, and to cuter into contract for the con
struction and equipment r all kinds of works, and
torective and hold in trust, or otherwise, estate
real, personal and mixed including notes, bonds,
cbiit-uilons and accounts, aud the same to purchase,
collect, adjust aud settle, aud also to sell and dis
pose thereof In any market lu the L'nlted States, or
elsewhere, lor such prices and on such terms as
may be agreed upon between them and tho parties
contracting wiih them; to endorse aud
f!iirautee the payment of bonds and
oiher securities, aud the performance of the
obligations of individuals and of corporations; to
issue, from time to time, In addition to that hereto,
lore authorized, stock representing their property
and their bustucss ; to Increase their resources from
time to time, In property by purchase or otherwise,
as the business of the company may require, and
ns may be deemed expedient; and to create and
convert such portions of their capital stock, from
time to time, as they may desire, Into preferred
Heck, and to lssuo and appropriate the same to
such purposes as may bo deemed advisable, which
preferred stock, as well as the common stock, shall
be subject to such rules, aud regulations, and con
ditions ns may be prescribed by the Board of Direc
tors; and tho said company may issue common
stock in place and in lieu of said preferred stock,
aud cau-.cl and retire the said preferred stock altogether.
Wakt ok Sleep. Opium or morphine is usually
prescribed as a soporific. Both are violent reme
dies, and react violently ; producing nausea, head
ache, aud prostration. They are often given when
they are not needed ; and not unf requently they in
crease the Irritation of the brain Instead or soothing
It. Probably In seventy-five cases out of a hundred
in which they are administered, Plantation Bit
tehs, given in moderate doses and at proper inter
vals, would have tho desired eirect. Persons who
find It dliilcult to compose their minds to sleep after
lying down at night, or whose slumbers are dis
turbed by bad dreams, or are too brief to aimrd due
nouilshment, are advised to try the Plantation
liiTTKits as an anodyne; for this comprehensive
medicine Is not only a tunic and alterative, but a
delightful sedative a "balm or hurt minds" as welt
as a revlviUcr of enfeebled frames.
Its use, as a means of producing healthful sleep,
Involves none or the unpleasant secondary conse
quences of a resort to the termer narcotics. They
all, without exception, excite the stomach, while
the eilect or the Bitters Is to tone, aud without Irri
tating that sensitive organ.

EXPERIENCED FINANCIERS AGREE THAT
FIRST MORTGAGE BONOS,
TO A LIMITED AMOUNT,
Upon a finished Hailroad
Which is well located for business, Is one of tho very
safest forms or investment. The
Central Eailroafi Co.
OF IOWA
Have built and equipped, in flrst-class manner,
135 Miles of New Road inEight Moaths
An achievement never before equalled by any Cora-
puny in the united States, excepting la tao case of
the railroads to the Pacific.
This new road, In connection with the 4"S mllei of
their Hue previously In operation, will open
The First Through. Liue Acron tho
S; ato,
From North to South, giving a direct route Iron St.
Paul to St. Louis.
Ti e location of this lino, through the richest aud
most thickly settled part of Iowa, assures to IS a
LOCAL TRAFFIC or grent magnitude and unques.
tloned profit. Forming, as It does, the shortest and
cheapest avenue or communication between the
coul Ileitis of Iowa and the lumber markets of Miu
nebola, It will also have Its carrying facilities taxed
to provide Tor the COAL AND LUMBER TRANS
PORTATION which the rapid settling of the coun
try and the extension or the railroad syitein or the
Northwest will combine to increase far beyond Us
already large dimensions.
In addition to these Inevitable sources of pr.int.ible
revenue, the CKNTRiL RULROaD OV I )WA
will have peculiar advantages for TUR ;UUII BUSI
NESS. It Is not only tho most natural outlet for the
bulk of the Northwestern carrjlng irade, but some
of its largest stockholders being Identical with the
principal owl ers of the vai ions railroads oi verging
from St. I'aul and Duluth, the freight aud passen
gers from the Lake Superior and Mississippi Klver,
the Bt. Paul and Pacllij, and the Northern Pail do
Railroads will be mainly transferred to this Hue.
Upon this railroad, thus favorably situated, there
are Issued
First Mortgage
7 Per Cent. Gold Bonds
To the small amount of J16. ooo per iull, whlh are
oiTered at the low rate of 80 and accrued interest, lu
currency.
Nearly two and a half million dollars or these
bonds have been sold, leaving about one mliHon re
maining, which are being rapidly taken by Investors.
The Company ts composed of strong capitalists
who have carried the work of construction rapidly
forward, wlthont being dependent npou the sale of
the Bonds. The amount of money thus Investe 1 Is
a guarantee of the soundness of the Company's
bonds.
A First Mortgage for so small an amount, upon a
road so sure of large business, aud In so strong
hands, may well be considered a perfectly safe se
curity, holders of Government Bonds will find a
decided advantage In exchanging them for Central
Iowa?, aud realizing the Increase of Interest, beside
the ditference of exchange.
