THE GLOBE.
Hiintipgdon, Tuesday, May 14, 1861
LOCAL & PERSONAL
Zee - As there appears to. be some
misunderstanding among our citizens,
in regard to the promotion of the offi
cers of the Standing-Stone Guards, we
say from high authority, that Captain
Miller was appointed Adjutant of the
Regiment under the belief of a part of
his Company and its officeks, that the
appointment not only gave him a more
conspicuous post but also increased his
pay. When they reached Annapolis
it was fofflnd the pay was diminished
instead of increased. Ile continued
to act as Adjutant until the Regiment
reached Washington, and during that
time, Lieutenant McCabe was promo
ted to Captain ; J. D. Campbell taking
the part of first, and John S. Campbell
that of second Lieutenant during that
time. When they reached - Washing
ton, the officers of the Guards requested
Captain Miller to resign his position of
Adjutant and again assume command
of his Company, which he did. - This
explains the reason why Mr. •McCabe
is not now Captain. This shows that
he and his junior officers aro not actu
ated by selfish motives, bat are the
right kind of men for soldiers, self-sac
rificing.
IMPORTANT TO FOOT SOLPIERS.—IfoIv
to Clothe the J"eet and Keep them Com
fortable.-1. Blistering, burning, sore
ness and tenderness of the soles of the
feet may almost invariably be prevent
ed, even when marching for days to
gether and over a heated road, by
soaping the sole of the stocking—that
is, covering it with a thin coating of
the cheapest brown soap. This, at
the same time, keeps the skin of the
sole cool, hardens it, and prevents in
flamation. Coarse cotton socks arc
the best for walking.
2. Don't wear woolen socks when
marching, not even thin ones, no mat
ter in what climate.
3. The boot or shoe should have a
thick sole; it is not sufficient that they
should be simply " double soles ;" the
soles should be at least half an inch
thick; if three-fourths of an inch or an
inch all the better; they are more ex
pensive, but if well made they will
last a long time, and even in the
warmest weather will be found easy
to walk in, the feet easily becoming
accustomed to their weight.
Se - We call the attention of the
Burgess and Councilmen, to the filthy
condition of the gutter on Franklin
street, between Hill and Washington
streets.. A stagnant pool of water
rests along that end of the square, and
if not removed before the weather gets
warmer, it will be a nuisance and a
stench in the nostrils of every passer
by. Walk around that way, some
evening, gentlemen, while enjoying a
fragrant Havana, and see for your
selves.
DROWNED.-A. man by the name of
Sohn McAllister, a miner, was found'
in Shoup's Run, near Coahnont, on
Sunday, April 21st. It is supposed he
had been in the water eight days, as
the last time he was seen was on the
13th. An inquest was held by Sani'l
Brooks, Esq., and report of jury was
accidental drowning.
.A.NOTGER FLAG RATSED.—The teach
ers and scholars of the Public Sebools

deafening cheers.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
HUNTINGDON May 10, 1861.
EDITOR OF THE GLOBE—Dear Sir :
The following is an extaaet from a
letter written by Thaddeus A. Kinsloe,
of Oquawka; 111., to a friend in this
town. It shows what is being done
at Cairo, and is confirmatory of some
of the statements we have seen.
M.
CAMS , Ussox, May 5, 1861.
We arrived safe at Cairo a week
ago. We are all well and all appear
to like camp life. I think it will agree
with me. There is at this time in
camp 4,000 soldiers, armed and equip
ped, ready for battle. We stopped a
steamboat by firing a cannon shot at
her, when she came to. The ball took
effect in her hull, and killed one seces
sionist. No further damage was done.
She unloaded her cargo consisting of
arms, ammunition and clothing. The
whole is valued at $200,000. Quite a
raise for Uncle Sam. We have every
thing now in our possession. We fired
into another steamboat yesterday.=
She came to immediately.. We have
been expecting an attack from the
South every day, but as yet they have
not made one. Cairo is beyond all
doubt, a very important point, and
the South would be glad to get pos
swion of it if they could. Cairo you
know is situated at the junction of
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Ken
tucky is on one side and Missouri on
the other, and it is about 463 miles by
the river from- Oquawka.
South Carolina
DEAR GLOBE :-
When this remarkable period is re
ported by the historian to future gen
erations, they will see that this war
was caused by the Southern States,
and that South Carolina was at its
head. They will see what she obtained
by seceding from this glorious Union.
They will see that it was her that in
duced the inhabitants of the surround
ing States to do likewise. They will
see that she it was that induced them
to fight against their coaritrymen of
the North ; that she was the one who
is now tearing down this Government,
with which she has been dissatisfied
ever since its formation.
South Carolina was the first to com
mence this derangement of affairs, and
the first to attack the Federal troops
and seize the property of the Federal
Government, and she therefore must
take most of the blame. Ever since
the year 1832, during the administra
tion of Jackson, and I might say ever
since the framing of the Constitution,
has she been wanting to secede. Her
desire has been gratified, and she has
ratified the Constitution of her South
ern neighbors, and has " established
an export duty on cotton for the first
time in American history."
More than one week has passed since
the twenty days were ended, and still
no measures have been taken by the
proper authorities, to quell the rising
spirit of those rebellious citizens.—
Still no efforts have been made to re
take the property captured by them.
Instead of dispersing, at the command
of the Federal President, they continue
to persevere in their rebellious career,
which will never be subdued, till the
whole race is driven from off our shores.
YOUNG AMERICA.
HUNTINGDON, Pa
COFFEE RUN, May 10, 1861.
DEAR GLOBE :—Again I take up my
pen to report something, too lofty in
its character, reflecting too Much credit
upon the good citizens of our district,
not to be made known to the public.—
On last Wednesday your humble cor
respondent was much elated on receiv
ing a special invitation to attend a
pole and flag raising, in the forks of
the roads, at residence of Sohn Fi
gart, about half a mile from Coffee
Run. Hr. Izigart is; gentleman whose
patriotic principles tower far above the
common tide of patriotism. Long ero
the appointed Your arrived crowds
could be seen wending their way to
wards the place of entertainment.
The pole, one 'are excelled in beau
ty, was soon ready. The flag was
handsomely finished by a number of
fine ladies. Everything being ready,
the flag was attached and the pole
hoisted amidst the cheers of a large
assembly. As it stood erect towering
seventy-three feet in the air, and the
flag proudly floating to the breeze,
three deafening cheers rent the Heaven.
The meeting was addressed by sev
eral speakers, whose names I will not
mention in order to avoid fishing for
compliments.
At tho close of the speeches au in
vitation was extended to the whole
assembly to a grand supper prepared
gratuitously by Hon. John Figart.—
Nearly all partook of the rich bounties
and I sincerely extend my thanks to
the very generous farmer.
Everything passed off in perfect or
der and merriment, reflecting great
credit on Mr. Figart and the citizens
of our vicinity.
Yours &c.,
MOUNTAINER.
TROUGH CREEK, May 7
FRIEND TYRURST :—Unusual excite
ment has prevailed in the Valley of
Trough Creek since the surrender of
Fort Sumpter, and the disgrace of our
national ensign—the flag of our Union.
And the reports of repeated insults, to
our noble soldiers, and to our Govern
ment, in connection with the hostile
movement of Southern traitors—con
centrating their forces at certain points
contiguous to NVashington—threaten
ing to seize the Capital, and the ar
chives of our nation have made the ex
citement intense. '
There is much patriotic enthusiasm
manifested in different parts of this
Valley, and particularly in this place,
by both sexes, ladies and gentlemen.
There was a' Union Aims Meeting
hold at the Trough Creek M. E. church,
4th inst. After the people had assem
bled, they reared a Union pole, 100
feet long. And' a large and beautiful
Union flag, made by the patriotic la
dies of this place,' was swung to the
breeze of Heaven.
The meeting was first addressed by
the Rev. C. Graham, who made a bold,
patriotic speech, which elicited univer
sal applause, and closed with enthu
silts cheers. After the Cassville corn
pally had paraded some time under
the - command of Captain Evans and
Lieutenant Hughes, they assembled
again, and were addressed by 'the Rey.
Y. Greenly, giving a sweeping sketch
9f t ‘ be fall of ancient republics, caused
by disunion and rebellion, with an his
torical sketch of this Heaven favored
land, showing a strong probability,
that the government of this glorious
confederacy, founded upon the moral
precepts of the Bible, and founded by
Divine Providence, in the past, would
continue to enjoy the same in the fu
ture. That the flag of our Union
would continue to wave o'er the "land
of the free, and the homesvof the brave."
He left the stand amid enthusiastic
cheers. And the meeting closed, after
repeated cheers for the Union, and for
the ladies who made the flag, and the
gentleman who planted the pole.
Flag Raising
On Saturday afternoon last, a large
and beautiful flag wasraisod above the
Public School House in this place.—
The material for the flag was procur
ed entirely by the scholars and teach
ers of the public schools, and manufac
tured by the female teachers, assisted
by Miss Jane Woods, Mrs. M. Glazier
and others. The flaor staff was pro
cured by the boys of the schools on
Stone Creek Hill, a short distance
from town. It was erected by Messrs.
E. Bartol, John Skees, Henry Snare,
David Decker, J. H. Decker and Dan'l,
Whittaker, The exercises being par
ticipated in - by the teachers and schol
ars, all of whom were present. The
daring feat of climbing to the top of
the dome and attaching a guy rope to
the spire, and from thence to the flag
staff, was performed by- Mr. Skees,'as
sisted by Mr. Snare, and was accom
plished successfully and Without acci
dent. This beautiful memento of ju
venile patriotism, containing some 150
square feet of canvas now floats some
50 feet above the dome of the building,
and more than 100 feet higher than
any other flag in this vicinity. The
ent t liusiasm of the youthful assembly,
at the conclusion of the exereiscs,found
vent in three hearty cheers for the
flag, three cheers.for the Union, and
three for the gallant hearts that had
assisted in the perilous undertaking.
The exercises were fluffier enlivened
by the singing of a number of national
airs. All honor to the patriotism of
the boys and girls of Huntingdon.—
They are well worthy to be the sons
and daughters of those whose noble
hearts have so gallantly responded to
their country's call, and whose bosoms
are so fearlessly bared to whatever
of danger there is in war! When the
time comes that they too may be call
ed to sterner duties may they be ready
to respond to the call. _
EAGLE FOUNDRY, May 13
111 n. TimuusT:—l am n ot accustomed
to writing for the press, but as this is
rather an exciting time, I hope you
will pardon my boldness in so doing.
It is said that "brevity is the spice of
life;" as this is my first attempt, I shall,
therefore endeavor to be brief. The
- Union-loving people of this part of
Trough Creek valley convened, on Sat
urday 11th inst., at this place and
raised a pole with the Stars and Stripes
thereupon, aboutllo feet above ground.
By the way, there aro two flags upon
this pole ! The largest of which is
about 12 by 18 feet. The flags cer
tainly reflect credit upon the Ladies of
this place, and Geo. Neff Esq., who
assisted in getting it up. It sui'ely
speaks loudly for their attachment and
warm feeling for the Union. In short,
we are, I think I may yenta° to say,
all for the Union. After the polo had
been raised and the Stars and Stripes
flung to the breeze, Rev. Graham, our
minister here, delivered a very instruc
tive, interesting and eloquent address,
relative to the present condition of
our beloved Country. Capt. Evans, of
Cassville, also gave us a very animated
speech, after which he called his com
pany of Volunteers into ranks and
drilled them a short time. The Com
pany and citizens then dispersed to
meet again on next Saturday, at Cass
ville, for the purpose of raising anoth
er pole on Shirley knob.
In conclusion, the people hero seem
to be true Union men and women;
ardent lovers of their Country; true
friends of the Star Spangled Banner.
Long may it ware o'er us. B.
CO 'I RUN, May 13, 1861
I • _iitli:\D GLOMS: All is right here.
Patriotism is still in the ascendant.—
There is now one hundred names at
tached to Gen. Wilson's paper for the
purpose of raising a company of Dra
goons. A flag was raised on the prem
ises of John Figart, Esq., last week,
at which patriotic speeches were made.
Another takes place at Coffee Run to
morrow. We are all right side up with
care, quagmires notwithstanding.—
Mountaineer's feelings are as delicate
as a lady's—tender to the touch as an
ulcer. Wonder what post he expebts
in the Home Guard. All we ask is,
justia fiat, and like the seasons, we in
tend to come and go again.
Yours, &c,,
Kentucky Sentiment
The voting in Kentucky last week,
for delegates to aßorder State Conven
tion, was almost unanimous for the
Union candidates. In many counties
they received the entire vote, and this
is the heaviest poll ever cast, not ex
cepting that of the last Presidential
election. From tho returns, received,
it looks as if the whole vote of the
State was about 150,000, and of these
not less than 140,000 are for the Union.
Yet notwithstanding this extraordi
nary show of the popular devotion to
the Union, there is danger that the
traitors Dlagofiln, Breckinridge &s Co.,
and the majority in the Legislature,
may pass some unwarrantable act de
claring Kentucky out-of the Union,
just as was done in Virginia, Tennes
see and Arkansas, after the people had
decided in favor of the Union. The
traitors are engaged in a deep game
and a wide-spead conspiracy and they
do not scruple to trample on the wish
es of the people, and laugh their deci
sions to scorn.
SECESSION,—THE THIRTY YE4R8 1
CONSPIRAbY.—Every American citizen
should be familiar with those words of
Rhett, of South Carolina:
"The secession of South Carolina is
not an event of a day. It is nothing
produced by Mr. Lincoln's election, or by
the non-execution of the fugitive slave law.
It has beets a matter which has been gath
ering a head for thirty years."
The Aspect of the Contest,
In the present war the North is as
compact. united, and determined as
any people could be in any contest.—
Our citizens combine as one man in
furthering the national cause, and the
voice of discontent and murmuring is
heard nowhere except among those
who are unable to have their services
as soldiers accepted and to whom a
position in the ranks of our armies is
for the present denied. In the South
it is the Rebels and not an entire peo
ple that are arrayed against us. Where
unanimity of opinion in favor of seces
sion apparently prevails, it is the result
rather of fear than honest conviction;
and their comparative difficulty in oh
tainina as many soldiers as they de
sire is fully proved by the numerous
accounts which reach us of the impress
ment of unwilling Northern citizens,
and even of free negroes, into their
service. England had not greater dif
ficulty in obtaining seamen when she
resorted to impressment than the Reb
els have in many quarters now in fil
ling up their straggling regiments.—
Th nineteen free States start with a
population of 19,000,000, against 12,-
000,000 in all the slave States. We
have already begun by adding to our
column Delaware and Western Vir
ginia, and by completely detaching
from our adversaries Maryland and
parts of Kentucky and Missouri. In
East Tennessee the Union standard is
still kept floating by Andrew Johnson,
Nelson, and Parson Brownlow, and in
many other Slave States alarge por
tion of the population is dOubtless in
clined to be loyal, and though for the
present overawed by Rebel forces
would speedily turn against their op
pressors if they felt the Federal Gov
ernment was prepared to protect them.
Of the population of 12,000,000 which
the South contains; after we deduct
4,000,000 slaves, and 2,000,000 who aro
at heart bitterly opposed to the Revo
lutionists, there cannot be left a force
of more than 6,000,000 people who
cordially sustain them—and this esti
mate doubtless is far more favorable
to them than the strict facts justify,
for it would indicate a very remarka
ble unanimity of feeling in the rebel
States. Of this force, a largo propor
tion is needed to hold in check a ser
vile population to form a home
guard for protection from insurrection
and unexpected invasions. So that,
after making these allowances, we do
not dOubt that the two States of Penn
sylvania and New York can sup Ply
and maintain in the field for offensive
operations a larger force than the
whole rebel population of the South.
After months of active . preparation,
and after years of treasonable plotting
it is singular to notice how little the
Rebels have really yet clone to pre
pare for extensive military operations.
In three weeks we have accomplished
infinitely more than they have actual
ly performed in many long months.—
Their only important achievements
are based on dishonorable treason and
shameless theft. They have only il
lustrated the most disreputable vices
that could be in any way connected
with martial deeds, and no great war
like virtues. They
.have shown the
cunning of rogues, the treachery of
traitors, the cruelty of barbarians; but
none of the courage and greatness of
true soldiers and puthpatriots. Arms
purposely distributed in their midst
and. left unprotected by Secretary
Floyd, ungarrisoned forts, undefended
treasures and public buildings they
have stolen, but they have won none
of the laurels of victory, and no hon
ors save those of rebellious felons.—
Their
highest ambition has been to
steal, or to torture defenceless citizens,
peacefully sojourning among them, to
fire upon unarmed troops, to array
10,000 men against a starvin g garrisob
of 100, to attack the capital, at at a mo
ment when they supposed they could
bringqigainst it an overwhelming force
and find it comparatively unprotected.
This is the sort of war that savages
and not civilized men wage. And it
must be as repulsive to the better na
ture of the intelligent and respectable
people of the South as it is disgraceful
to any enlightened people.
Secession, for a time, was apparent
ly rampant in Maryland, but the march
of our troops over her soil—showing,
as it did, not only onr power but our
humane disposition and patriotic pur
pose—that we did not seek to war upon
the South, the Southern people, or South
ern institutions, but only against Rebel
lion, and for the preservation of the
best Government in the world has ap
parently secured her loyalty, and ren
dered her Union men active and en
ergetic enough to hold in check, in
every section of the State, her Rebels.
It is possible that the occupation
of Virginia would have a similar effect,
and the Rebel leaders, knowing this,
have hurried their forces northward
as rapidly as possible; so that they
may assist to overrun the State, and
terrify the conservative sentiment,
which might otherwise find expression
on the 23d of May, when a vote is to
be taken on the Secession ordinance.
Western Virginia haS Unequivocally
and almost unanimously declared
against it, and the movement in that
section for a separate State Govern
ment is now gaining irresistable
strength. Their interests and feelings
are almost identical with our own,and
if they are not overpowered by a Re
bel army their fidelity and loyalty
cannot be destroyed. Di Eastern Vir
ginia the lot of the people is really de
plorable, and they have, by joining the
Rebel movement, plunged themselves
into- the depth of misery, present and
prospective. Shorn of Western Vir
ginia, the Old Dominion would speed
ily become one of the puniest and
weakest of all-the States, and bank
rupt in credit and resources; - she could
see no trace of prosperity in tho pres
ent or of promise in the future. With
Fortress Monroe in our possession, all
her commerce would be subject to our
control, and her seaboard cities would
have nothing to - sustain them. The
occupation of her territory by the Re
bel troops, although they arc nominal
ly friends, is almost as disastrous as a
foreign invasion, because they_are seiz
ing nearly all the supplies, provisions,
horses, and cattle in the country, and
giving the owners no other remunera
tion 'than scrip certificates.of doubtful
value, which are little more than a
mockery of compensation. When to
these dilemmas aro added the prebahle

The Traitor's Designs.
Mr. Benson J. Lossing, the historian,
just returned from a trip through the
southwestern Slave States, says:
It will be seen and felt by all candid
men in the South, that the traitors
now ruling the Gulf States with a rod
of iron, deceived by the assurances of
Northern demagogues that vast num
bers in the free States would be found
fighting under their banner, and mul
titudes there, would sympathize with
them, had determined, in any event,
to humble the Federal Government,
and to degrade its nag, hoping thereby,
and the shedding of human blood, to
"fire the Southern heart," and dismem
ber the North. .This accomplished,
the national capitol was to be seized
by the Confederates and their North
ern auxiliaries, who would be joined
by the Border States, and then would
be accomplished the destruction of the
" most beneficial Government on the
face of the earth," according to the
assertion of Alexander H. Stephens,
(Vice President of the Confederacy,)
only five months ago, before the .
Georgia Legislature. This was to be
followed by a military despotism,
whose chief aim and effort would be
to push an immediate war of subjuga
tion and annexation to the most re
mote forests of the Isthmus of Darien,
and to establish an Empire based upon
slavery-, with " King Cotton" as auto
crat, that might defy the scorn and
the bayonets of the civilized world.—
How egregiously have the conspira
tors been mistaken !
I feel that I am fully justified in
saying that the Disunion sentiment,
seen on the surface, has no considera
ble depth ; that the people, by the
reckless boldness, unscrupulous false
hoods, and violent menaces of dema
gogues, using the press, with its vast
power, for their base purposes, are in
the hands of the politicians, and at
present powerless. For many weeks,
the telegraph in the "seceded" States
has been under the control of the arch
rebels at Montgomery, and every
avenue by which truth might reach
the people has been carefully guarded.
I will give a single illustration of the
way in which the people aro wilfully
deceived. Under the head of " Spe
cial Despatch by Telegraph," it was
announced that Major Ben. McCul
lough was at Richmond, at the head of
ten thousand men, marching on Wash
ington. On that very day I saw Mc-
Cullough with the editor of the paper
that gave currency to the false report,
and was informed that McCullough
had been in New Orleans for a week
or ten days previously.
My conclusions are, that, underly
ing the Secession sentiment that covers
the whole surface of society at the
South, there is a deep and abiding love
of the old Union; silently praying for
deliverance from a despotism which
has few parallels in the history of the
world. Yet the Government has a foe
to meet not to be despised. The chief
rebels are desperate and determined
men, endowed with superior talents,
and furnished with many resources.—
It is now, with them, a question of
life or death, honor ors dishonor, glory
or infamy. Let the Government and
the Northern States, then, be prepared
for a desperate conflict.
Everett on the War
Edward Everett made another Union
speech at Roxbury, Mass., on Wed
nesday evening, on the occasion of a
benefit to. the volunteers of that town.
Mr. Everett reviewed the origin and
nature of the present conflict, and ad
ded the following personal explana
tion
" I deprecate,.more than I can ex
press, a war with the South. You
know any political course. Logan, the
Indian chief, mournfully exclaimed,
`Such was my love for the whites,
that my countrymen pointed at me as
I passed, and said, Logan is the friend
of the white man !' I have been poin
ted at for years as the friend of the
South. For maintaining what I deem
ed her constitutional rights, I have
suffered no small portion of obloquy,
and sacrificed the ihror of a largo por
tion of the community in which I was
born, and which, from my youth up, I
have endeavored to serve laboriously,
dutifully and affectionately. I was
willing, while this ill-starred movement
was confined to the States of the ex
treme South, and they' abstained from
further aggression, that they should
go in peace.
"This course, I thought, would re
tain the Border States, and bring back
the Seceders in a year or two, wearied
and disgusted with their burdensome
and perilous experiment. such I un
derstood to have been, in substance,
the programmeof the Administration.
But the South has willed it otherwise.
She has struck a parricidal blow at the
heart of the Union, and to sustain her
in this unnatural and unrighteous war
is what my conscience forbids. * *
"'What then remains, fellow-eitizons,
but that we should, without unchris
tian bitterness toward our misguided
countrymen, meet calmly and reso
lutely the demand of the crisis; that
we should perform the duty of good
citizens with resolution and steadiness;
that wo should "cordially- Support the
Government of the country in the dif
ficult position in which it is placed;
that we should cheer and encourage
the bravo men who have obeyed its
call by a generous care of their
fami
lies; and to sum it all in one word,
come weal or woo, that we should
stand by the fiqg of the Union !"

41.
the following statement :
•" On the occasion of the arrival and
speech of Mr. Stephens, a largo pro
cession was fbrmed, which marched
through the city. They carried, paint
ed on canvass, a representation of the
American flag, soiled and torn, sus
pended by a broken flag-staff. Un
derneath was the picture of a grave,
with the words, Receive me.' This
outrage upon the flag, aroused feelings
of deep disgust and indignation among
the still loyal portion of the citizens,
and one gentleman, a venerable pas
tor of the Seamen'g Bethel, openly de
nounced the proceedings, declaring
that Savannah had been the first to
dishonor the glorious banner of the
Union. On being threatened with
violence, he told the mobocrats that,
though he was an -old man, he would
defend himself if attacked, and some
of them would bite the dust if they
laid their hands on him." • ,
• It is difficult to couceivo how mon
who have long enjoyed the protection
of our glorious standard could have
acted in this shameful manner; but
even this dastardly outrage is only in
keeping with the whole Rebel move
ment.
PATRIOTIC INCIDENT.-At the Boston
meeting to summon recruits for Fletch
er Webster's regiment, the following
telling incident occurred. The chair
man notified the meeting that subscrip
tion would be received, when a little
boy promptly came forward and said,
" This is front Stephen Decatur, sir."—
It proved to be a cheek for $lOO. The
father stood by and proved to be blind.
He is an officer of the navy who lost
his sight in the service, and a nephew
of Commodore Decatur of the last war.
Nine cheers were given which made
the halls ring. Five thousand dollars
were immediately subscribed for the
regiment, which is to leave this week.
One hundred young ladies were ma
king garments for the men.
AMOUNT 01' PATRIOTIC CONTRIBU
TIONS.—The patriotic contributions of
the people for the war, during the last
three weeks amount to the immense
sum of $23, 277, 000. Pennsylvania
leads the column with a free gift of
$3,500,000. New York and Ohio have
each given 83,000,000; Connecticut and
Illinois each $2,000,000; Blaine, $1,300-
