IBcbforb Inquirer. BKHPftKP. TL. FHID.4T- MUCH 1. 1870 TUB RAILROAD AND I RON INT CB ESTB OF BEDFORD COUNTY. The building of railroads, at this day, tiecessar'Jv precedes the establishment of farnaeee, rolling mills, fie. No iron pro ducing district, however great its other ad vautages, can bo developed without rail roads. While possessing all other advan tages, beyond almost any other portion of' tho State, Bedford County has been unde veloped for years, because she has not had railroads. For want of railroads, even her vast deposits of the most valuable ores have been almost unknown. The building of the Broadtop railroad, and the erection of the Kemblo furnace at Riddle-burg, within the past two years, have not only demon strated the vaioe of her ores and coal, bat have also demonstrated the fa-t that iron can be manufactured in Bedford County far more cheaply than in any ether portion of the state. In fast it has shown that while in some portions of the state, (which hereto fore it was supposed possessed great advan tages for the manufacture of iroo.) it is im possible at present to make any profit in the manufacture of iroo, the Kemble fur nace has been paying handsome profits. Wc are credibly informed by an intelligent iron manufacturer that irouisnow produced by this fnrnaee, at about ten dollars per ton cheaper than almost anywhere else in the state. The vast advantages poscssed by us being thus demonstrated, it becomes at once evident that railroad facilities alone arc wanting to make our county one of the most profitable iron manufacturing districts of tip* State. The inquiry then arises, what rail roads arc needed? We have now a railroad from Huntingdon, on the Penn-ylvania Cen tral railroad, to Mt. Dallas a point on the Chamber.-bnrg and Bedford Turnpike, six and a half miles east of Bedford. This road is 44 miles in length, and leaves a break of twenty-six miles between Mt. Dallas, its terminus, and Bridgeport, a point on the Pittsburgh and Conoellsville railroad, four teen milis north west of Cumberland. Itu mediately around Bedford are vast deposits of the most valuable iron ores and limestone, and facilities are afforded for manufacturing iron even cheaper than at Riddlesburg. Six and a half miles of road from Mt. Dallas will reach this point ar.d develop these ores. This can be built for a sum ranging from 1140,000 to $150,000. But a further link is needed to Bridgeport of 20miles, which will cost perhaps from $200,000 to $250,000. The ad", antages of this location will be great ly increased by this road. It will bring us within 155 miles of Pittsburgh, where our iron finis a market, an advantage of 46J miles over the route by the Huntingdon and Broadtop and Pc-nnsvlvania Central, making a saving of from $1 to $2 per ton in freights. In addition to this it brings us as near to the Cumberland and Somerset coal fields as to those of Broadtop, and gives a choice of coal. The completion of this portion of the road would also develop additional valuable t-U. .fun: aluuj; > tunluu or its line. It would also afford a nearer and more direct route to Pittsburgh for the iron from the Riddlesbr.rg and other furnaces in that vicinity, besides pivit:them a choice of routes. It being therefore settled that these 26 miles of road are nectary to the proper deve'opraent of our iron interest , let us inquire who are the interested parties from whom we may expect aid in the work. In the first place our own eitiz. ns are vital ly interested and must contribute tbeir share toward the wr-.lt; next comes the Kemble Coil an! Iroo Cimpaay, who have leased a large quantity of ore lands in this neigh borhood, and who have already signified their will ngness to give the most liberal aid, and after ihrtu the other parties owniug ore lands or leases. The railroads interested are the Pennsylvania Central, the Hunting don and Bioadtop, the Pittsburg and Con oellsville and the Baltimore and Ohio. The first three named would all be largely bene fitted by the development of the iron manu fact ore here and the increased traffic on their roads, and have all signified their wi! lingness to assist in the construction of our road. Such is the status of our railroad and iron interests at the present time. Ar rangements have been made by the Hunting don and Broadtop Railroad Company for the survey, location and estimates of the six and a half uiiles from Mt Dallas to Bedfoid as soon as the weather will permit. In the meantime an organization should be effect ed upon the extended charter of the Bed ford and Bridgeport railroad, all interested parties should be promptly seen, their sub scriptions secured, and every preparation made for begining work upon the road at the earliest possible moment. A GREAT CRY AM) LITTLE WOOL. The above was the very appropriate title of an article in last week s Gazette, in which the writer made a feeble attempt to threw dust in the eyes of the tax-payers of the county. He attempted to an-wcr our ques tion, as to the disposition of the interest on County funds in the hands of Treasurer's, by replying (hat sopie $6,311 79 of the $11,602 31 in the Treasury went to pay the balance due the State, and the balance was needed to pay current expenses up to June • Ist, when the collection of taxes for the year began. This would bare been all well enough if there had been no other sources from which to obtain funds, and the Treasur er had been called upon for the $6,371 7S due the State before the collections began. This may have been called for, before dune 1-t, or it may not; the Treus urer does not give the date, in his report. Wo find that be aide the $11,603 31 in the Treasury there were $4,01$ 11 due from collectors and oth ers, on the Ist of January 1860, which it was the duty of the Treasurer to collect and which we baTe no doubt he did promptly, as he was an efficient officer; this made $15,621 42 in the Treasury, Rom which we may deduct the $6,371 79 which we will suppose were called fur before the first of June, also $1,281 11 expenses of courts to June the Ist 186#, and we still have $7, 968 52 to remain all the 7ar in the hands of the Treasurer, and a much larger suns a grest portion of the yoar. The present year there are $7,024 73 due the County, which should be collected and ought to meet the current expenses of the County and pay the State assessment beside, without touching the $14,866 % now in tie Treasury. It is the principle, and not the exact amount of money that we contend for. We don't care if I the Treasurer be a Democrat or* Republican, I wc believe that he gets bis salary for bis ' services, that the tax-payers of the County are entitled to the interest of the surplus fund in the Treasury, and that we ought to have a general law to that effect, regulating such matters throughout the State. In this we believe, we have the support of good TUMI of all parlies, excepting always the pot house politicians who live by plunder. For the edification of the Gazette roan we will inform him that the Additional Law Judge does not draw his sa'ary out of the County Treasury, and, moreover, that the law busi ness of the District is, at present, quite as much as both the Judges can transact. Knowing the scaly character of his argu ment, this vituperative scribbler tries to mate up in personal abuse of us what he lacks in reasoning power. We are used to that r jrt of 'hing from that quarter and don't feel hmt at all. If there has been lit tle or nothing praiseworthy in the doings of >he Democracy for a InDg time past, it is no fault of ours ; the Gazette man mu-t settle that with his party. We must thank him though for telling his readers that we take the liberty ol finding fault with the doings of our own party whenever we believe it does wrong. That is more truth than he is in the habit of telling of us. If we are "straight-laced," weareindependent enough to denounce corruption and peculation in j our own party, as well as that of our oppo nents, whenever we find it, and that is more \ than onr neighbor of the Gazette can say ! for himself. Out TRADE BALANCES. — I The trad? re. port- for January Ist 1870 shows a most gratifying improvement on the previou year. At the dose of the year 1868 the balance against us on our foreign trade was $24,129,049. In other words we had bought more merchandise abroad than we had sold, to the amount of $24,129,049, and were just that much out of pocket on our year's business. At the close of the year 1869, though we had transacted a bu-iness of f 46,000,000 more than the previous year the ha'ance against us was but $1,978,264. This certainly shows an improvement in the condition of our foreign trade, but it is still not what it should be. Instead of a balance against us we should have a balance in our favor. The balances against us some years ago before a protective tariff was adopted were much heavier than in 186S and some times amounted to hundreds of millions. Under protection we are steadily improving and if our present tariff is not interfered with the clo-e of the present year may -how a balance in our favor. But if wc re turn to a comparative free-trade rate of duties we wiii nio.-t certainly find the bal ances once more heavily against us. I'ro t etion is our only s"curity. Jy A. Tot. LARD publishes a long letter entitled ''W ho killed the Southern Confed eracy,' 1 in which he lays the whole blame of the death of the Confederacy at the di or of Jeff. Paris. Poor fellow, he had sins enough to answer for already, and from our stand point we would be inclined to give him credit for putting an end to the Con federacy if we thought he had done it, but we don't believe he did. Grant did that little job. WE are to have a new series of postage stamp* in April. Th<-y are said to be far superior to those at present in use, but this is the stereotyped phrase with which each new batch has been welcomed and they have grown worse all the lime. We hope 'hey will stick well to the letters and that the Department will stick well to them. We have had quite too maoy changes and we 1 ope they will ce*e.

SPAIN has just beeu treated to a first class sensation. A due! was fought between the Puke de Montpensier and Prince Henry de Bourbon, on the 12th iosf., in which de Bourbon was killed at the third shot. It has created a profound sen-atioD. They were both aspirants for the Spanish throne sud the duel is said to have grown out of political intrigues. Gov. HOI.DEN of North Carolina has ap plied to the Secretary of War for troop* to aid in suppressing an insurrection in Ala mance county. Several other counties are so infested with Kuklux that the Governor contemplates declaring them in insurrection. GENERAL JORDAN is still in command of the Cuban insurgents, although it has sev eral times been reported that he had re signed. The Cuban situation remains un changed and the war goes on with no pros pect of Dominating. THE mi-sing steamer, Smidt, arrived in N'ew York one day last week, haviog been at sea 49 days. Hopes are still entertained that the other missing steamer, City of B itot), may yet be heard from.

THE TREASURY INVESTIGATION Has been the most exciting topic at the capital, during the past week. The fact that General Irwin refused to be sworn, when summoned before the Finance Com mittee, was reported to the Senate, aod that body pas.-ed a resolution directing the Speaker "to issue bis warrant to the Ser geaut-at Arms, commanding him to pro duce, at the bar of the Senate, W. W. Irwin, there to be subject to such orders a* the Senate may make in the premises." The resolution passed the Senate yesterday, with but four di-senting votes, and the Speaker is.-ned his warrant last evening in accordance with the action of that body; this morning, however, by a vote of 16 to 11, the Si n ite re considered its action of yesterday, and postponed the matter for the pre.-ent. The argumen's used for this re consideration was that the Senate was ex ceeding the power it possessed, in attempt ing to bring General Irwin here under ar rest. Mr. Putman supported this view of the case in a leDgthy and able speech, and was replied to by Mr. Buckalew, in his usual clear and logical manner. The dis cussion ixcited a good deal of interest, and was listened to with much attention. It is thought that thi§ action of the Senate will put a yop to further investigations on the part of the Finance Committee. THE BORDER CLAIMS. The House Committee on Ways and Means have reported favorably a bill tor the payment of damages sustained by border counties during the war. The main pro virions of the bill are as follows: Ail revenues received by the State from the counties of Adams, Cumberland, Bedford, Fulton, Perry and York are appropriated to the payment ol these claims until the same shall be paid iu full ol principal and in terest at the rate of five percent, perannnm from the date of the pa-sage of the act. The State Treasurer is to issue to the claimants, or their proper representatives, certificates of claims bearing five per cent, intere-t. The original claims are transferred to the State, which may hereafter demand and recover them from the General Govern ment. Certain persons named in the bill are appointed to examine and adjudicate j the claims presented, with power to increase or d-crease the satne. The provision* of the bill are the result of careful consideration and consultation among the parties interested, and perhaps put the olaiui3 in n,> unobjectionable a shape as possible. Their justness has been fully recognized, and there should be no decided opposition to the passage of the bill in its presem shape. SOLDIERS' ORPHANS' SCHOOLS. A good many charges of mismanagement and improper administration of affairs have been made in reference to the Soldiers' Or phan-/ School I'epartment, under the charge of Col. McFarland. Last winter the Senate Committee on E location was au thorized to investigate the alleged abuses in this Department, and a few days ago Mr. Graham presented the report of the Com mittec. The report entirely exonerate!- Colonel McFarland from any fraud or com plicity of ftaud. and declares that he has been found to have no financial interests in any particular school under his charge. The repott will probably set at rest the dotfbts as to his integrity, and bare the effect of continuing him at the head of that Department. GENERAL PIPE I.AW. W hat is termed a General Pipe Law in reference to the transportation of oil in pipes is now before the Legislature. The Oil Pro ducers' Association are making a strong effort to secure its passage, and with con siderable assuiances of success. It has passed the House and is now before the Senate. The bill extends the proti.-ions of the act of 1863 relating to corporations for mechanical manufacturing, mining and quarrying purposes to the transporta'ion and storage of petroleum in the counties ol Venango, Warren, Forest, Armstrong, Claiion, Butler and Beaver. It provides also that any company organized for such purposes, under the provisions of said act, shall have the right to transport, store, in sure and ship petroleum, and for that pur pose lay down, construct, anj maintain pipes, tubing, tanks, and the like, as may be necessary, and to enter upon, use and occupy such lands as may be requisite under the same provisions as are contained in the act of 1849 in reference to railroads. The bill is meeting with a vigorous opposition on the part of certain private corporations that now enjoy an exclu-ive monopoly of the transportation of oil in the manner indicated. The probabilities are however that the bill will become a law. IN BRIEF. The 12th of Aptil is now talked of as a day for the final adjournment of the Legis lature. A bill is before the Legislature to repeal the law of last year, making Good Friday a public holiday. The local option license bill still remains at second reading in the House. A new Metropolitan Police bill, for Phila delphia, has been reported favorably frout Committee to the Senate, but its passage is doubtful. The General Appropriation bill is still in the Lands of the Finance Committee of the Senate. The testimony has not yet all been pre sented in the Diamond-Watt contested election case of the Senate. FOB SEVERAL weeks past there has been a blockade, as regards freight, all the way from Louisville to Atlanta, Ga. The cause is fbnnd in the inability of the Western At lantic road, ftom Chattanooga to Atlanta, to carry the accumulation of freight for the Southeast. More rolling stock is what must be had to remedy the evil, which is proving quite serious. X I,lst CONG R ESS-SEC ON O SESSION. SENATE— March B'b.—Senate resumed th- consideration of the Funding bill. , Mr. Corbett addressed the Senate on his proposed amendment for ihe first three sec tions of the substitute reported by the com mittee. Mr. Corbett's amendment provides for the issue of $1,000,000,000 in loads to run thirty-five jeers, interest payable in gold, first three year* at six per cent., next six years at five per cent., next six ycahsal four and one half per cent., and the following twenty years at four per eent., to be lies from all taxation. The Secretary of the Treasury is to have authority to exchange these bonds at par for the five twenties at par, at the option of the holders of said securities, or to place them in market at home and abroad at a uniform fixed price, the proceeds of which sales shall be used to red'-eui the out standing five twenties. Mr. Williams objected to the first amend rasnt, because it only provided for one bond. It is impossible to fund the whole debt witb a single bond. Mr. Cole objected to the amendment, lie cause he thought the bond would run too long. Mr. Scott said he would favor the bill, with a provision that the negotiation of the loan lie carried on without etnplot ing anv outside agencies. The proper way would be to advertise in ihe regular way, and dis pose of the loan to the highest bidders. Mr. Corbett withdrew his first amend ment for the time being. In the House, a large number of unim poiunt bills were introduced and referred. In the Seriate the next day, after gome discu'sion, Mr. Davis moved to recommit the bill with eight, instructions, as follows ; First —A reduction of the amount of each outstanding bond of the United States by the difference between the nominal amount and its gold value, or the gold value of the bond of which it is the immediate or remote j Bub-titute. Second— By the amount of usury paid by the Uoited States on said boud or any bond or bonds of which it is the immediate or re mote substitute. Third —Reduce the entire interest on all outstanding bonds to five per cent, per an num. Fourth —Tax all dividends received on United States bonds as so much income. Fifth —Reduce the appropriation for the army to a reasonable cost of 20,000 men, rank and file. Sixth —Reduce ihe aggregate appropria tion for the navy to tweuty millions dollars. Seventh, —Reduce the aggregate appropri ation lor the civil and diplomatic service of the Government ten per cent. Eighth— R>-duee the aggregate amount of internal taxes and duties on imports, each 334 per cent. Mr. Davis advocated hi* proposition in a speech. Pending the action on Mr. Davis' motion, on a motion made by Mr. Edmunds, the Senate went into Executive session, after which, adjourned. On the 9th, the morning hour having ex pired, the Funding hill was taken up, and the que-tion being on the motion of Mr. Davis, to recommit the bill witb instruc tions, it was voted down. In the House, the following hills were in troduced and referred to the prqper com mittees : Aboii-hing the Freedtnan's Bureau. Pioviding tor the celebration of ihe one hufidreth anniversary ol American Indepen d nce, by ' olding a World's Exposition in th-- city of Philadelphia in 1870. Regulating ( ongresstonal mileage. iVlr. Logan gave notice that he would call up the bill for the reorganization of the \rrit to-morrow. OnthelDh, the Funding hill after hav ing lieen variously amended finallv passed the Senate by a vote of 32 yeas to 10 oay. Nearly all the past week was consumed in ; the discussion of this question. The House acted upon a large number of bills of a private nature, ami in the after j noon went into committee of the whole on the Tariff bill. They adjourned however j without disposing of it. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. SENATE. —March 7th.—Quite a number !of it>cs 1 hills were reported. Among those ; introduced are: one by Mr. Bonn, authoriz ing Widows' and Orphans' Life In-urance j Company to establish an agency in Philadel- I phia; also, allowing persons holding posi : tions under the State goveiuuieot in De eii ; alule to Couueds, also, requiring a-sesors to levy tax OD a 1 ! free made citixens ol color over twenty-one years of age. the same as on whi'e citixens. and punishing any elec tion officer who refuses to receive a legal colored vote. On the Stb. none but Philadelphia bills were cornidered, in either Senate of House. On the 9fh, at th? afternoon se-sion of the Senate the following bills were consider ed: Declaring children of parents who were -laves when nianied legal heirs of their pa rents. Pased. Spplement to the Penal laws, relating to concealed burglarious in-truments. Dctea ted. Supplement to the turnpike and plank road laws. Passed.

Mr. Rrooke caoed up the bill authorize ing the Charter House Association, of Me dia. to borrow money. i'.as*ed. Bill dedicating Diamond street to public j use was passed. Adjourned. On the 10th, Mr. Lowry introduced a joint re-olution relative to connecting the Eastern cities with the Gulf of Mexico by slop channel throuch Pennsylvania, reciting the fact l hat W. Mdnor Roberts, United States Government Engineer, had demon strated in his report the practicability of ulacing the Ohio in a navigable cendttion at a titfltng cost, and connect the same with Lake Erie, ami adding: Resolved, That the Governor, with such assistance as he may deem necessary, is hereby authorized, empowered and duet-ted to communicate with the General Govern ment at \\ ashington on this important sub j-'tt and send a copy of these reolutions to the_ President and his Cabinet, and to the United States Senators and Congressmen, and to exert all his personal influence and all his official influence, as Governor of this Commonwealth, to secure the improvement la-b-re referred to wi'h all the accumlaring advantages which will flow from the same. Risolved, That the Governor L also author ixed, empowered and directed tocommuni e .te with the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Managers, and the Manageis of the Erie Canal, and to ascertain upon what constitu •ional grounds the State can give to the Erie Cuaal Company the aid necessary to make the required improvements sufficient for the transportation of steamtugs and ships of at ba-t five hundred too. Resolved, That th* Governor shall report to the next Legislature the results of his ob-ervations and investigations upon the -utiject, with such recommendations as he may deem pro(>er. Mr. Loway moved the consideration of the above re-olutions. Mr. Whire objected and the bill was re ferred. The Senate supplement to the Sun day Liquor law, changing the |>enalty from fine and imprisonment to fine or ituurison tut nt passed finally. The Border Claims.— On the 11th, the House hill lor the relief of the sufferers from border raids. Reported favorably. It has been wotded so as to devote all the moneys which the State may heteafter re ceive from the counties of Adams. Cumber land, Franklin, Bedford, Fulton, Perry, and York, to the payment of claims of nearly two million dollars. These claims are to be paid as fast as the fund accumulates and to hear five per c-nt. interest until paid, the State to devote the entire receipts from tLc above named coun ties and from all taxes on railroads, etc.- within their limits, to the purimse. The State Trea.-urer shall issue cettificates of i n dehcedness of the value of SIOO, S3OO, SSOO and SIOOO. ON SATURDAY Boston celebrated the cen tennial anniversary of the first blood shed in the commotions which preceded the revo lution. This massacre' has been the theme of song and eloquence. The victims were fjur persons killed by the British soldiery in King street in the suppre-sin of a riot. Crisprn Attacks, the most noted of the vic tims, was a gigantic mulatto. THE PEIGHTAL MURDEBEHB. The Pcigbtal murderers were hanged in Huntingdon on Wedoesday tb 9th ioat., at 12i o'clock. Ao iinmcr.se throng of peo- Sie Were preaent '? witness the proceedings, of the prisoners showed any emo ti.m of fear on the occasion. Bohner made the following confession : "On the 15th of November, we went on the railroad to Huntingdon, where we got off and Wnt to the place where the deed WR* done. Bodehburg said that the farmer had gold and silver, and then I believed what he had said to Mrs. Gable in Altoona be fore I knew him, that he w* to get. gold and ailver ftom Germany. [This lady was i here as a witness in Court ami her story ' was believed.] I found out last Bpiig when I was in the same hoarding house with him, that the farmer had gold and silver. lie said to me he wanted to steal it all from hint. He worked as a cabinet maker in the round house >n Altoona aud made for him self a large knife for that purpose. We went to the place to steal the first time, one month before, bur cou'd not do anything and went away again to Altoona. I went to work again, and he went lo a man that had a daughter and spent his time with her. He had no money and no work. This knife that he had he thtcw into the c-anal at Huntingdon when wc were there the first tunc. He made this L >irl a great promise of much money, which brought him to the thought on murder. We came lo the farm and slept Tuesday night in the house. My Eistol 1 laid out on the window according to ! is orders and he said that he would get up i in the night, but wc were v. ry tired an i el-pt till dayiiaht. We staid in the neigh j hot hood that day and ho told me how he j would make it; that ho wanted my pistol and bis, one in each hand, and he would de- i mand the money. We both went into the' house where they were eating sapper, and ■ I held the door shut ao they could not slip out. He spoke in English, what he wanted, and the farmer and his wife |oke Engli-h to him, which I did not understand because I could not do it myself, lie demanded the tnonej because I could not speak English, only a Utile. Alter quarrelling awhile, the wife got up and the mau also, and he shot the farmer with the pistol in the right hand, and the Woman With the one in the left. The man tell lo the floor, hut the woman did not fall. She picked up the coal -hov,-l and came toward me when I was still stand ing at the door, and struck at uie, and fell at the same time to the floor. Bodeuburg again loaded his pistols and shot the little boy dead. He shot twice at bim so far as I know. He tbeu loaded again, and shot the farmer once more, and gave me the empiy pistols, which was my own; in ihe mean ttme I hit the farmer's wife wiih the coal shovel, as she stnl was not dead yet. We then went iuto the be i room and broke open the bureau and cheat wth an axe, aud found gold and silver and $250 in paper uiouey aud divided it equally. The amount of gu d aud silver Ido not know. We divided it but did not couot it. I put mine in a bag aud stuck it it in a pair of pants which was laying on the bed, and wrapped it in a black cloth. lie also took a cloth and overcoat, and boots, aud then we weut out info the horse stable where be wanted to get on a horse, which I did not agree to. We then came to a quarrel and he threatened to shoot uie, and pulled out his pistol, ami I puded out miue which wa- not loaded, but still in the same condition he gave it to me. I soon loaded it aud to.d bim let u- go. He says not yet, we will burn the house down so that the people will thiuk they were burned. We took a bundle of straw, and I went in and laid it in the room, aud put tied clothes to it, and be put the tire to it while I Was watcniug at the window. Alter ibis we went away toward the rail road, aud he said on the road that be wau ted to visit a good friend a tew days, and wauled to preseut him ihe pistols aud asked uie wether 1 would not give biui mine too. 1 told biui if be would give me $4, what it cost me, 1 wuUid, and he gave Uief tiu sliver. I did not trust liitn right, and shot it oil iiist, aud asked him to shoot his oit too. We came b> tnis time to Huut.ngdou aud staid heic till the train arrived going to Altoona.

Va., March 9. —United S'ates Marshal Slack writes from Charles ton, Kanawha eounty, the recently-selected capital of the State, under date of March 3, that an organized hand of Kuklux entered the town in o| en daylight on the utorning of the 2d. and advancing to the jail whit keys and other fixtures deliberately unlock ed the outer and ceil doors, releasing the prisoners. To lh i.se who happened to be present cocked revolvers were presented, with sworn threats that if an alarm was givt-D death would he their portion.

HA&D TIMES in California are creating a bittrr feeling against the Chinese, and evil consequences are feared. In San Francisco a riot may be precipitated at any moment. Young men are aomiitnes heard to say. '"The only way to get rid of the-a Chinamen is to kiil them, and I for one am reidy to take a hand at it any time." The old Vigil ance Committ e d*ys would Dot equal in horror a ring'e hour of the murderous work ola California mob against these poor wretches, and it is to be hoped the fear of which we hear may be unfounded. DCRINO THE di.-cusdon on February 18, on the apptopriati"U to par female e'erk*, Representative Rogers, of Arkansas, made a very severe attack upon them, charging them with all manner ol shortcomings, and declaring his intention, within a m ntb, to present a hill prohibiting their employment by the Government. During the past week the female employees of the Treasury De partment presented Mr. Rogers with four leather medals, handsomely gotten up, ami in-eribed, "In Honor of the IBih Day of February, 1870." I* 1835 two English missionaries landed on the Fiji Islands, and the islands have al ready been brought into a state of nominal Christianity. This phrase is one of great signifleance when applied to Fiji Islanders who half a century ago, were cantiiba's and now are so far lifted out of their harharious ctndition that their islands make a pleasant home for civil wed people. The native pop ulation— 100 OOu in number—occupy these two hundred islands, living in towns ofa bout 500 souls each the villages being gov ertud by a chief, who is in turn subject to a king, of which each island has one. Viti Leon, the largest island, is 350 miles in eir cum'erence of 200 miles. The whites in the Fji Islands number 2 000. The climate is described as delightful; the soil is a datk, rich loam; and the products arecottcn and tropical fruits. IN 1732 the English attacked a fleet ol Spanish galleons near 1 igo, when seven of them were sunk all d nine burnt. The galhnns contained the tribute of theSpani-h colonies for the years 1700-1, amounting, it is stated to 2,000.000 pounds sterling. The greater part ol this enormous sunt is presumed to be still at the bottom ol the sea, and a Fiencb society has been formed for the purpose of recovering the lost treasure. Operations have already begun, and Ihe divers have hit upon ten of the galleons. They are thickly encrusted with marine growth, yet the chief engineer pro po-es to rai-e them up to the surface of the water. Several curious articles, oxydizt-d aimor and weapons, a silver vase, and nu merous cannon balls, have been found by the divers on the decks of the vessels. The Spanish Government has stipulated that 43 per cent, of the recovered treasure must be paid into its treasury. IN RETALIATION for the termination of tne Reciprocity tieaty, the Canadian Govern ment is preparing a series of measures in tended to annoy and injure as much as pos sible American merchants at.d shipping masters. One of thee measures is an act now before the Dominion Parliament, for bidding American vessels to carry goods or passengers from one Canadian pott to an other, uuder a penalty of four hundred dol lars and the forfeiture of the goods. This act, if it becomes a law, will undoubtedly take away from our lake shipping much val uable business; but as regards tbe Canadian people it will be decidedly biting off their nose to spite their face. It amounts to just this: that no Canadian shall be permitted to make use of the facilities of travel and fieight afforded by American vessels, but must either nsori to land carriage or avail himself of some inferior craft belonging to his countrymen. If the Canadias are pairi otic enough to stand this Americans will not object. Only it isdoubtiul whether every such turn ol the screw will not u3ke Cana da more dis-ati-.fied wiih its present situa tion and more anxious for a radical change.

This Pump has been awarded the PIRST PRE MIUM at tbe New York, Ohio, and Pennsylva nia State Fairs. This Pump never freerss, from tbe fact that the moment you stop pumping, the water gradually drops back to a level with the water in tbe well; consequently you always get PURE COLD WATER. Itwill force water any distance through pipe, and in case of FIRE, is valuable, as water may he thrown to the distance of from fifty to sixty feot from its mouth, by attaching 3 or four feet of small hose- It is DOUBLE ACTING, and can be worked with ea-e. It is just the thing to wash wagons, buggies, end water gar dens, Ac., and every farmer and mechanic should have use of these pumps. As for Health, this Pump has been pn pounced by our leading Phy sicians as being one of the very best pumps now in use. It is generally known that wooden pumps hold the water in the stalk, and of course it tastes more or Icbs of the wood. This Pump leaves all the water drop back just as soon as you stop pnmpiog. to tbe level of the water in the well. So vou get PUKE COLD WATER from the bot torn of tbe well every time you draw a bucket full. There ate about 92 of these pumps now in use in this county, for one and two years, and they have ALL given perfect satisfaction. Not one of these BCA froten since they have been put in. For reference I can give some of the very best men in our towu and county. Call and see this pump work before purchasing any o' her.
