Ofir B. K. Jamison, Esq., of the Bank

some copy of a small pamphlet issued by
him entitled : "Financial Record for 1871
embracing the fluctuations in Gold, from
January, 1862, to January, 1872, and
other matters of general interest." A vast
amount of financial statistics are gathered
into a very limited space, thus making it
very convenient for reference.

cognized is not correct, and that it gives
the Dominion of Canada and England, a
strip of United States territory nearly a
mile wide along the whole route.
Da_ We acknowledge the receipt of a
pamphlet of sixty-eight pages, entitled,

defraud the State of Pennsylvania," by J.
M. McClure, Esq. Mr. McClure's pamph

enough material left to make a sensational
paragraph for a Democratic newspaper.
geL. The Bedford county Republicans
have not yet made a nomination for Legis
lature to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of John W. Dickerson, Esq. We
notice that Col. John F. Lowry, of Hope
well, has been named as a candidate. We
do not think the Colonel would accept the
nomination under any circumstances at
present, but if he were, he would make a
formidable run. No man in Bedford coun
ty has done more to develope its hidden
resources than the Colonel, and his servi
ces should not be lightly cast aside. If it
had not been for him we doubt whether
the Riddlesburg furnaces would have been
built. S. P. Wishart, Esq., has also been
-named as an aspirant. He assures us that
le is not a candidate.
SECRETARY BOUTWELL AND HIS
FUNDING BILL.
When.the Republican Administration
came into power the Government was with
out money and without credit. During
the last year of the Buchanan Administra
tion twelve per cent. was paid for money
for the use of the Government, and it was
with difficulty obtained at that enormous
cost. With the advent of the new admin
istration a protracted war was forced upon
the country. The demands upon the
United States Treasury were largely in
creased, the drafts amounting to one and
a-half, and from that to two million dollars
per diem.
To meet this extraordinary demand, a
new system of Finance was immediately
projected and carried into operation. This
embraced increased taxation of home pro
ducts, and a higher tariff upon imported
goods; it also involved the issue of Gov
ernment securities in various forms, bear
ing G and 7 3 10ths per cent. interest.—
These were sold at a discount which made
the actual average interest, paid by the
Government, range between 9 and 10 per
cent. But even that high rate was a de
cided improvement upon the conditions
exacted from the previous Administration
in times of peace. Daring the four years
of war the rates of interest never increased
above this ; and funds were always sup
plied to meet every demand upon the pub
lic Treasury.
The bonds soon began to increase in
value, and continued to do so until they
reached par, which brought the interest
down to the actual amount stated on their
face. They continued to rise in value, and
finally commanded a premium of 15 to 17
per cent. This reduced the amount of in
terest actually received by purchasers and
holders to a fraction over five per cent.
Comparing these rates with those paid
by the Buchanan Administration we have
the practical demonstration of the increas
ed credit and borrowing power of the
Government.
EDITOR
The Secretary of the Treasury proposes
now, under an Act of Congress, to consol
idate the Government securities in bonds
bearing 5,4 f and 4 per cent. interest.—
Already $200,000,000 of the 5 per cent.
funding bonds have been put upon the
markets, and disposed of,—about one-half
in the United States, the other in Europe.
No more of these bonds will be offered un
til the funds are required, or until $200,-
000,000 of the 6 per cent. bondsare called
in and converted or cancelled. When that
is done—and the work is going on rapidly
—the remaining $300,000,000 of the 5
per cents. will be put upon the market,
and they will be eagerly purchased; not
here of course, for where land is cheap
money is worth more in legitimate busi
ness, but in European markets, for which
these bonds were originally intended and
prepared.
After the 5 per cent. bonds are all sold
and the proceeds applied to the conversion
or purchase of the 6 per cent. securities,
the Secretary of the Treasury will issue
his 4} per cent. bonds; and finally when
required, the 4 per cents. will be put upon
the markets.
Will the bonds at these lower rates find
purchasers ? The opponents of Boutwell
and the Administration say they will not•
Mr. D. H. Wells asserted, just after the
funding bill was passed by Congress a year
ago, that neither Mr. Boutwell nor any
body else, for at least a quarter of a cen
tury to come, could borrow money in any
considerable quantities for less than 7 per
cent. Since that assertion was made
$200,000,000 have been paid into the
public Treasury at 5 per cent. interest.—
And when the.money is wanted for them
the bonds at 41 and 4 per cent. will find
purchasers without difficulty.
In support of this conclusion, let us re
member that the nation has re-established
its credit upon a firm basis, and entered
upon a career of prosperity which exceeds
that of any previous period in our history.
Europe is agitated, and a war-cloud hovers
almost always over some two or more of
the nations, with threatening aspect.—
Where there are constantly great armies,
frequent wars are unavoidable. Therefore,
all things &moldered, the credit and bor
rowing power of the United States are
to-day not only equal to that of the Euro
pean powers, but very far in advance of
many, if not all of them. This being the
case the United States Government can
borrow money, as a matter of course, on
as favorable, and even on better terms,
than that of any other nation.
Now let us look at the average rates of
interest paid for the use of money in the
leading. European money markets. Taking
an experience of fourteen years here is the
average result in each of the six principal
cities named. The figures are official, and
may be relied upon as correct :
London 4.53 per cent. i Hamburg 3.44 per cent.
Paris 4.75 " 'Amsterdam
3.54 "
Berlin 4.52 " 'Amsterdam 3.75 "
This was the average for fourteen years
ending 1868. Since then the'average has,
excepting in France, fallen below these
figures. But taking these returns of four
teen years as our guide, we have 4.09 per
cent. as the result ; while in three of those
great money centres the annual rates av
eraged from 3f down to less than 3f per
cent. Our lowest bonds are 4 per cent.
With these facts before us who mu
doubt that United States securities will
command money, when wanted, at 41 and
4 per cent. interest ?
The Funding Scheme originated with
Secretary Boutwell. By his opponents it
has been made the ground of attack and
abuse of the Secretary ; yet it is probably
one of the wisest and best measures that
has or can be adopted for the purpose of
diminishing the public debt and interest,
and thus decreasing the burdens of taxation.
Nor is this all : The funding bill alone,
besides securing a very material reduction
in the rates of interest on the Government
debt, will be productive of decidedly ben
eficial effects upon the industries of the
people. So long as the Government con
tinues to pay 6 per cent. for money, capit
alists will keep their rates of interest up to
8 and 10 per cent. But so soon as the-
Government rates are brought down to 41
and 4 per cent., the brokers and bankers
throughout the States will :be forced to
reduce their rates. With that reduction
the rate of interest on all loans for legiti
mate business purposes will also be redu
ced. This in turn will tend to stimulate
business, open up new fields of enterprise
and employment, bring the greenback cur
rency up to par with gold, and thus in
crease the purchasing power, or value, of
wages and fixed salaries.
THE CHOICE OF THE REPUBLI
CANS OF HUNTINGDON COUN
TY FOR GOVERNOR.
Tthe Republican County Committee,
at its meeting on the 17th inst., instruct
ed our delegate to the State Convention,
by a unanimous vote, to support the
Hon. Francis Jordan, Secretary of the
Commonwealth, fbr Governor.
This is a just tribute to a faithful pub
lic servant. It has been our fortune to be
intimately acquainted with Col. Jordan for
twenty years, and upwards, and in all the
many years that we have known him he
has borne the reputation of an honest man,
a faithful partizan and an able lawyer. If
we remember correctly he was District
Attorney for the period of six years, for
the county of Bedford, and in all that time
not a single indictment was set aside or
quashed for want• of informality or other
irregularity. In 1854 he was elected to
the Senate of Pennsylvania, and soon took
rank as one of the leading members of that
body, serving as chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, notwithstanding there were
such lawyers in the Senate as Hcn. Eli K.
Price, Hon. Charles B. Penrose, Hon•
Wm. Wilkins and Hon. Darwin A. Phelps.
When the war broke out he was, without
solicitation, appointed a Paymaster in the
United States army, and fulfilled faithfully
the duties of that office until the close of
the war, coming out, if we are not mista
ken, a poorer man than when he went in.
During the years of 1866 and 1867 he
was Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee, and made effective cam
paigns. This is briely the record of the
man whom Huntingdon county would
honor, and we are heartily gratified at her
choice.
Col. Jordan is a most assiduous and un
tiring worker, strictly temperate in all his
habits, and always at his post, and if the
Republicans give him the nomination he
will carry the State by an overwhelming
majority.
Bier The Free Traders are busily enga
ged in sending petitions to Congress. They
have been active during the past summer,
in procuring the names of all who can be
persuaded to allow themselves to be •so
used. Congress understands the game.—
A synopsis of the Senate Tariff bill is
printed in our Washington letter. It is a
substitute for the House bill of last session.
a The special election for member of
the Assembly, in the Bedford and Fulton
district, will be held on the 13th of Feb
ruary.

Civilization and Civil Rights—The In,

President and People in consultation on
the best way to Civilize the Red Man—
11l Treatment of the Chinese:—Senator
Sumner's Plea far the Negro race—

Service System.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23, 1872.
A PLEA FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE RED MAN:
Under the auspices of the Young Men's
I Christian Association of Washington, an
immense gathering of the Christian and
philanthropic portion of this community,
and prominent men from Boston, Chicago
and other sections of the country took
place, on Sabbath evening, in the Congrega
tional Church. The object of the meeting
was to hear from the Indian Peace Com
mission what had been done for the Red
Man under the new policy, and to compare
notes and suggest measures for future ac
tion. The meeting was held in the largest
church building in the city, and it was
crowded in every seat and standing place
on the floor and in the gallery. The Pres
ident, Vice President, and many Senators
and Representatives were present.
After the meeting had been opened with
prayer and singing, the Rev. S. B. Treat,
Secretary of the Board of Foreign Mis
sions, Boston, spoke earnestly in favor of
farther efforts to civilize and christianize
the Indians within our borders. As a
guarantee of success in the future he re
lated what had already been accomplished.
He had been among them, and had sat
down with 120 christain Indians at the
service of the Lord's Supper. He de
scribed in a protracted but interesting ad
dress the good effects of the Gospel in
civilizing those people, and earnestly ap
pealed to the Administration to do their
duty toward the remnant of the Indian
tribes now remaining in the country.
Hon. Felix R. Brunot, one of the Peace
Commissioners; gave an explanation of his
Missionary experience in Oregon, where
they have abandoned the wig-wam and
live in houses. They have farms, and
churches and schools.
He concluded by saying that the Indians
are a part of the same clay as ourselves,
and have the same jewel within them, and
in the Providence of God can be saved.
As it is, when they are so far advanced in
civilization as to have valuable land or
anything the white man wants, they have
to be moved in the interests of civilization.
They were then thrown back from the
point gained. He did not know any class
who could advance under such circum
stances. Let the Indian have assurance
that what he possesses will be secured to
him, and a better state of things may be
expected.
Hon. Isaac V. Farwell, of Chicago, made
an impressive address, depicting the abuses
to which the Indian had been subjected,
and assured the Administration and the
audience that if good men instead of rob
bers shall in the future be sent among the
Indians the very best results may be an
ticipated.
Hon. Mr. tobuy, of Boston, believed
that the 350,000 Indians could be re
claimed. He had been skeptical as to the
capacity of the Indian to be civilized, until
he saw a delegation of them six months
since in Boston. He became satisfied it
could be accomplished by kindness. The
moral sentiment of the country and the
moral conscience must be brought t 3 bear
on it as it had been in the war to abolish
slavery.
Others followed in a similar line of
ar
gument. The Administratipn was urged
to persevere in the policy they had inau
gurated, and to throw into it all the energy
demanded by the urgency of the case.
Altogether the speeches and proceedings
afforded much valuable information in
reference to the condition and necessities
of the Red Man, and left an excellent im
pression upon the audience. The Presi
dent, aided by the Secretary of the Inte
rior, the Indian Bureau, and the Indian
Peace Commission is determined to give
the peace policy a thorough practical test,
which, if successful, will bring the entire
remnant of that ancient people within the
pale of civilization and under the influence
of christian instruction.
THE CHINESE IN AMERICA
While efforts are being made to elevate
the Indian, the poor, despised immigrant
from China is wholly neglected, so far
as the Government or any public demon
stration is concerned. There are about
90,000 of them in the United States, prin
cipally on the Pacific slope, and California
has covered herself with disgrace in her
treatment of these people. They are re
fused cideenship, their testimony is not
taken in court, and they arc or were, by
law, denied the, to them, sacred duty of
carrying back the bones of their deceased
countrymen to their native homes for in
terment. The Burlingame treaty provides
that Chinese immigrants shall enjoy the
same privileges as those from all other na
tions ; but on their arrival in San Fran
cisco, they are stoned and killed on the
streets, and so far as they are concerned
the Burlingame treaty is a dead letter.
This is all wrong, and a disgrace to the
American Government and churches.
Yesterday Senator Cole presented a
memorial from Chinese merchants on _the
coast, asking a repeal of the duty on rice.
The Vice President reminded Mr. Cole
that it had never been the rule of the Sen
ate to receive petitions from foreigners.
Mr. Cole replied that these memorialists
resided and were doing business in this
country. Mr. Trumbull and Mr. Sumner
both thought the petition might be re
ceived under the circumstances. The point
was made that though they might be resi
dents, they were not citizens; and Mr.
Scott objected to receiving any petition
from foreigners, asking a modification of
our revenue laws. The question being
submitted to the Senate, it was decided
that the memorial should be received ; and
it was accordingly received, and referred
to the Committee on Finance.
It is to be hoped that the Federal and
the State Governments will, ere long, put
themselves right with regard to this inter
esting people.
SENATOR SUMNER ON CIVIL RIGHTS.
Senator Sumner, the fast friend of the
negro race, delivered, with his usual abili
ty, a speech in support of his Civil Rights
bill. He began rby saying in substance
that though the auction block is departed
the spirit of slavery still lingers. The
doors of the public hotel, the public con
veyances, the institutions of science and
learning, and even the church, and the last
resting place on earth, are closed against
the colored man, in many sections of the
nation.
The bill of Equal Rights is simply sup
plementary to the existing Civil Rights
Law, which is one of our great statutes of
peace, and it stands on the same require
ments of the Constitution. Without the
Amendment the original law is imperfect.
Mr. Sumner then defined, according to
various standard authorities, the meaning
and purposes of an inn or public hotel to
show that an innkeeper is "bound to take
in all travellers and wayfaring persons ;"
that he cannot impose unreasonable charges,
and is liable to indictment for refusal to
entertain any who may apply for accom
modations. English chronicles in the time
of Queen Elizabeth show that the inn was
opened to "every man," and this rule has
continued down to the present day. A
late division of the Superior Court of New
York, defines an inn to be "a public house
of entertainment for all who choose to visit
it." Justice Story says : "An innkeeper
is bound to take in all travellers and way
faring persons, and entertain them if he
can accommodate them, for a reasonable
compensation. If an innkeeper improperly
refuses to receive or provide for a guest,
he is liable to be indicted therefor." Chan.
cellor Kent says : "An innkeeper cannot
lawfully refuse to receive guests to
to extent of his reasonable accommo
dations, nor can he impose unreasonable
terms upon them ?" and adds, "Innkeepers
.re liable to an action if they refuse to re
ceive a guest without just cause. The
innkeeper is even indictable for the refu
sal, if he has room in his house, and the
guest behaves properly." Prof. Parsons,
in his work on Contracts, says of the inn
keeper : "He cannot so refuse unless his
house is full and he is actually unable to
receive them. And if on false pretense he
refuses he is liable to action." Many
similar quotations were made from stand
ard authorities, and the argument was
most ably sustained by the Senator's own .
remarks.
In regard to public conveyances, Mr.
Sumner quoted Mr. Justice Story, who
states that :
"The first most general obligation on their part
is to carry passengers with all reasonable, dilli
gence whenever they offer themselves and are ready
to pay for their transportation. This results from
their getting themselves up, like inkeepers and com
mon carriers of goods, fora common public eniploy
mese, on hire. They are no more at liberty to re
fuse a passenger, if they have sufficient room and
accommodations, than an inkeeper is to refuse
suitable room and accommodations to a guest."
Professor Parsons states the rule strongly:—"lt is
his duty to receive all passenger* who offer; to car
ry them the whole route ; to demand no more than
the usual and established compensation; to treat all
passengers alike; to behave to all with civility and
propriety; to provide suitable carriages and means
of transportation." * s
"And for the default of his servants or agents in
any of the above particulars, or generally in any
other points of duty, the carrier is directly respon
sible as well asfor any eircumetancee of aggravation
which attended the wrong.
Places of public amusement, said the.
Senator, are included in the same category,
and cannot close their doors against any
who are willing to pay for their entertain
ment.
The Common School is supported by
taxation, to which all contribute. It is a
public conveyance where children are pas
sengers. It is a theatre where children
resort for enduring recreation. Like the
others, it assumes to provide for the pub
lie, therefore it must be open to all. Nor
can there be any exclusion, except on
pounds equally applicable to the inn, the
public conveyance, and the theatre.
The pending bill simply enforces this
rule, which, without any act of Congress,
ought to be sufficient.
The pure Lord Chief Justice Holt, of
England, tells us judicially, said the Sena
tor, that, "The common law of England
Lakes no notice of negroes being different
from other men ;" in other words, it makes
no discrimination on account of color.
This judgment is a torch to illumine the
Constitution, while it shows how naturally
our fathers in the (heat Declaration said,
"all men," and not all white men; and in
the Constitution said, "We, the people,"
not we the white people.
Mr. Sumner continued in a speech of
great length to enforce his measures, and
concluded with an eloquent appeal for the
speedy passage of the Civil Rights hill.
The galleries were packed with attentive
listeners, and many prominent gentlemen
were admitted upon the floor of the Senate
during the delivery of the speech.
THE NEW CIVIL SERVICE CODE.
The new Code of Civil Service as pre
pared by the Commission authorized for
that purpose, grows daily more unpopular
both in Congress and among the people.
All admit that the old system is suscepti
ble of improvement, but the p:an of im
provement now proposed is pronounced
exceedingly faulty and objectionable. It
was attacked in the House on Wednesday,
and on Thursday Senator Carpenter made
it the subject of an able speech in the Sen
ate. It is pretty evident that Congress
will not endorse the new regulations as
presented for their consideration, and ma
terial modifications will require to ba made
before they can be successfully carried into
practice.
SENATORIAL HUMOR
Senator Scott presented a petition, Janu
ary 16, of citizens of Pennsylvania, asking
the passage of an amendment to the Con
stitution, prohibiting any man from being
elected to any Federal office who indulges
in intoxicating drinks, or, as the petitioners
express it, who drinks. Mr. S. moved that
it be referred to the Committee on the Ju
diciary.
Mr. Trumbull thoughtit a proper mat
ter to go before the Committee on Elec
tions and Privileges.
Mr. Pomeroy thought it had better be
referred to the Committee on Disabilities.
[Laughter.]
Mr. Morrill, of Vt. Wouldn% it be bet
ter to send it to the Committee on Revo
lutionary Claims. [Renewed Laughter.]
After some further expressions of meri
most, the petition was referred to the Com_
mittee on Elections and Privileges.
Subsequently, during the temporary ab
sence of Mr. Trumbull, Mr. Fenton pre
sented several similar petitions from eiti
tens of New York, which, on his motion,
were referred to the Committee on the Ju
diciary.
SENATE TARIFF BILL.
The Senate Finance Committee have re
ported their Tariff bill, as a substitute for
the House bill of last session, upon -which
no action was taken then in the Senate, on
account of insufficient time. It recom
mends that after July 1, 1872, the duty
on tea shall be reduced to 10 cents per
pound, coffee 2 cents, chiekory 2, or pre
pared 3 cents; bituminous coal 50 cents
per ton, salt 9 cents per
.100 pounds,
or in packages 12 cents ; potatoes 10 cents
per bushel; timber 1 cent per cubic foot,
sawed $l.OO per 1,000 feet, on ordinary,
and $2.00 on other kinds, with an addi
tional duty when dressed, of $l.OO and
$2.00. The duty is reduced on a number
of other articles, including a reduction of
10 per cent on iron and steel and manu
factures of these, excepting pig iron and
steel rails; on all metals other than iron
and steel and manufactures of the same ;
also, on wools and woollen, cotton and silk
manufactures ; on earthen ware, glass
ware, and india rubber. Drugs and raw
materials generally are placed upon the
free list. The bill was reported back to
the Committee and will come up for debate.
THE NEW LOAN
It has been doubted by the democratic
press that an offer has been made to Sec
retary Boutwell, by J. Cooke, McCulloch
k• Co., and the Rothschilds k Sons, of
London, to take the balance of the fund
ing loan. In reply Jay Cooke published a
card, in which he says : "I deem it proper
to say that such a proposition, and under
such authority from London, was made in
entire good faith, and the parties interested
are prepared to carry out promptly the
negotiations, as soon as the Secretary of
Treasury is able to comply with its terms,
and shall conclude to accept the proposi
tion." •

Jefferson County Correspondence,
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Jan. 19, 1872
Ma. EDITOR :—Enclosed please find two dol
lars for which I wish- you to send me your
valuable paper for another year. It has been
b. very welcome visitor to my fireside for many
years, and it seems like the face of an old
friend fresh from the valleys of Huntingdon.
Now, if you will forbear with me, I will give
you a rough sketch of our county, which may
be interesting to you or some of your worthy
readers. We live in a lumber county, and in
the yet comparatively small town of Punxsu
tawney, a place of about seven hundred in
habitants. Punxsutawney is situated in the
beautiful valley of Mahoning, in the southern
part of Jefferson county, about forty miles
from where the Mahoning empties into the
Allegheny river. On the Mahoning are some
very fine saw-mills, some of which cut from
forty to fifty thousand feet per day, and on
this stream we have grist-mills of extraordi
nary capacity, and we also make use of this
stream to the amount of two thousand rafts
per year of square lumber and boards, which
are run to Pittsburgh for general market, and
some on down the Ohio river. The principal
commerce of our town is lumbering and mer
chandising. We have eleven dry goods stores,
five hotels, one printing press, (Plaindealer),
one Odd Fellows' Lodge, and one Good Tem
plars' Lodge. Our religious edifices consist of
one Methodist church, with a very respectable
and large congregation, one Cumberland Pres
byterian, just completed, and a Baptist, with
a large congregation, also a German Lutheran
church, in the upper end of the town, which has
a very fine situation and a large coup egation.•
Our school building is one of the finest in the
State ; in short, our little borough is not to be
surpassed, and the day is not far distant when
we shall have an outlet by rail. We are now
having a railroad within eleven miles of the
place. In fact there has been stock taken al
ready to build a railroad to this place, which
will open three of the great resources of our
county and make a market for our inexhausti
ble deposits of coal, iron and other minerals.
Our farming land is second to none in the
country, with good buildings and well stocked.
Any shrewd business man can discover, at a
glance, that under these circumstances there
is little doubt but this place is destined to be
one of some considerable magnitude and im
portance.
The lumberman, the miner, and the mer
chant will find here a home, where he will re
alize full compensation for his labor. The bu
siness man who can invest a small capital will
rise with the place, and in a few years become
rich and independent. Coal will be shipped
in immense quantities, furnaces, rolling mills,
machine shops, and other branches of busi
ness will bring thousands of hardy, stout
hearted men here.
Yours, yeti respectfully,
J4.3lEs DRAM.
