NATIONAL GROWTH
The population of the United States is
doubled every thirty-three and a third
years, on an average, and the national
wealth every twelve years. Owing to the
war the usual average was not reached
during the last decade, but the deficiency
will, according to present indications, be
more than made up during the next ten
years.
The commencement and increase of rail
roads are indicated by the following fig
ures :

1811 451
4,99911872 7,925
snaking a total at the close of 1872 of 68,-
767 miles, which, with 6,742 miles under
construction gives a grand total of 75,509
miles, and is nearly equal to the entire
railway system of Europe.
Yet with all this increase of railroad fa
cilities the growth of the country is so
rapid that the demand for increased trans
portation facilities was never greater than
at present. According to the last census
the total number of fanners in the 17nited
States. not including garden farms and ten
acre lots under cultivation. was 2,659,985.
The total value of agricultural products
for the year previous to that in which the
census was taken, including increase of
stock and betterments, was $2,447,538,658.
A very large proportion of this enormous
agricultural product is in Illinois, lowa,
Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wiscon
sin, and with our present limited facilities
ot transportation, almost beyond the reach
of markets. An estimate may be
formed of the vast production of this re
gion, in cereals alone, may be formed from
an examination of the operations in that
article in Chicago. In 1844 the ship
ments were less than one million of bu
shels. In 1871 the. receipts of grain were
83,518,202 bushels, and the shipments
74.8Q0,789 bushels. Last year the ship
ments amounted to 76,000,000 bushels.
Notwithstanding this enormous increase in
the product, there has been but one rail
way added to the channels of transports. I
tion to the Eastern markets or seaboard
since 1855. The charges of transportation
are iu consequence more than consuming
all the profits upon the preduets of West
ern and North-western farms, and agricul-
tural pursuits have become unprofitable.
It costs seven bushels of wheat to trans
port one bushel from Chicago to the sea
board and thence to Liverpool. Corn in I
those States is of less value in bulk than
fire wood, and it is now used in lowa and
neighboring States for fuel. Hard wood I
delivered costs $7 50 per cord, corn $5 601
and
and it. is stated as the result of actual test, I
that as compared with coal, three tons . of
corn will give heat equal to one ton. of
coal, while in economy of use it is equal I
to one-and-a-half tons of the latter.
But this is a sad commentary on our
facilities of transportation. Corn and
wheat, and their products, are nearly as
dear now in the Eastern States as they
were dur:ug the war. With the greatest
wheat growing country in the world in
the rear the loaf of bread costs to-day wore
in New York than it does in London, and
there will be little or no abatement or high
prices until increased facilities of trans
portation are secured.
How this is to be accomplished is at
present the problem presented for solution.
We do not care to build or widen canals
through Canada, and even if canals were
constructed so as to admit of the passage
of vessels of a thousand tons laden with
freight, dependence for transportation
through a foreign country should not be
entertained, only as the last resort, after
all other possible remedies had failed.
The Western States are looking to the
general Government. for relief, and the
impression is becoming popular that they
are justified in the demand. A Govern
ment trunk railway for transportation
alone, to connect the Northwestern States
with the seaboard at Norfolk, Va., Phila
delphia or New Turk. with double, and
ultimately quadruple tracks. would meet
the case and afford the relief' so urgently
demanded.
The waste, or "shrinkage" as it is called,
in the transportation of cattle and other
stock from the interior to the seaboard
would nearly or quite pay the interest on
the capital required to build the road.
The average "shrinkage" from Chicago to
New York City is tico hundred pounds per
head, while the beef is deteriorated in
quality to a much larger extent, and not
'infrequently rendered wholly unfit for
evuouniption. No inconsiderable propor
diem, under the present mode of transpor
tation, dies on the route, and animals
rarely reach the end of the route in any
other than a fevered condition. All this
could be avoided under a proper system of
transportation in place of the present pack
ing system which allows only standing
room, with calves and small cattle stowed
between the legs of larger ones, and all to
safer front thirty to sixty hours without
food or water.
• Congress it rewies in its duties toward
the Western States in not promptly meet
ing this urgent necessity and very reason
,able demand. Here is an opportunity f'or
them to invest in railway stocks and at
:the esme time show their patriotism.
We most sincerely hope the press of the
entire .country will so far aid the enter
prise as La unite with the Western press
and people ha an appeal that will arouse
Congress to a jest appreciation of duty to
the vast constitueney lying beyond the
:reach of necessary saaotets for the vast
•products of their annual lames, A united
.press can move Congress. while petitions
are merely presented and passed into pi
geon holes in committee rooms.
1 THE CREDIT MOBILIER
The investigations at Was'uington into
the operations of the directors of this cor-
poration are likely to develope some dis
honest and fraudulent transactions. It is
nut tier dov, it seem to be possible
to prove that either Vice President Colfax
or Senator Patterson have dome wrung
farther than in the cowardly attempt to
conc.l the fact that they had purchased
and paid for Credit \lokilier stock. But
it is not so clear that Mr. Ames can come
out of the examination without damage to
his character for integrity. Ile stands in
a different light from Senators Colfax and
Patterson. They were inexperienced in
business, and purchased wholly on his re
commendation of the stock as a good in
vestment. Ames, on the other hand, was
behind the curtain with the other opera
tors and knew all the facts in reference to
the corporation. It may be that he is in
nocent, but up to the present time the
investigations stem to indicate that the
cent per cent. dividends paid to sharehold
ers were entirely too large to be derived
from honest dealing. More than this, as
the showing of the investigations would in
dicate, those large dividends were made by
swindling the Government out of money
due from tlie Union Pacific railroad.
It is a significant fact, however, that
when Mr. Ames went into the Pacific
railroad and Credit Mobiliei he was one
of the wealthiest men in Massachusetts
and as true in his transactions through a
long litb, as the steel on his shovels which
had a preference for superiority in the
markets of the world. In a ehort time
after taking hold of the Pacifie railroad,
with the view of pushing it to completion,
he failed, and was obliged to ask an ex
tension from his creditors. At that time,
as President of the company, he had almost
the whole responsibility of completing the
road upon his own shoulders. He suc
ceeded in completing it. If in his extremi
ty he pressed his friends to purchase stock
in order to raise money to complete the
work, there was nothing wrong in this, and
he could only be commended for his ef
forts; but when the large dividends are
proved, es having been paid to stockhold
ers, while moneys due the Government
were withheld on the plea of poverty, there
is very strong ground for suspicion that
fraud has been practiced and the Govern
ment deprived of funds justly due and
which should have been paid into the
I.Tuited States Treasury.
A few days more and the investigations
will be completed. Till then it may be
due to all parties to suspend judgment. in
the matter. But when and wherever
fraud can be proved let it be swiftly pun
ished. The Democratic party, when in
power, made it their policy to cover up
°•irregularities" and hide them from the
public view. The Republican policy is to
detect, expose and punish fraud wherever
it exists.
EDITOR
FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
The Bellefonte Watchman says
"The self-willed and strong-minded women
and soft-headed men are muking a desperate
struggle for the introduction of female suffrage
into the Constitutional Convention."
"Soft-headed men I" By underrating
the mental capacity of men, who have the
courage to champion what they believe to
be right, is the only way in which some
frothy would-be manufacturers of public
opinion meet great questions. If you de
sire to discuss the question meet argument
with preponderating argument or hold
your peace. Prejudice has nothing to do
with the question. We are proud that we
have "self-willed and strong-minded wo
men" who are both able and willing tostand
up for political equality. We' want no
such cowardly insinuation that all our
women, with a few exceptions, are shal
low or week-minded. Anything but
dolls and puppets in woman's clothes for
us We want strong-minded mothers,
who can think and act for themselves, and
who will produce a race of giants not only
in physique, bit in intellect. Under our
present system our women are degenera
ting. They are mere hot-house plants—
ready to be nipped by the first frost. Give
them greater latitude and we believe they
will not only improve in physique, but pu
rify much that is horribly corrupt and
rotten in our political system;; and sweep
intemperance and kindred vices from the
land. lie is a very unmanly man who
will demand a privilege for himself and
deny the extension of the same to his wife.
We may have something more to say
upon this subject. All we wish to add
now, is, that the Constitutional Conve.ii
' tion should not fail to submit the question
to the people. Let the matter be fully
discussed, and if the majority come to the
conclusion it is a bad thing, let it be re
jected, and if. on the other hand, they
should come to the opposite conclusion,let
it become a part of the organic law.
nea,„Our article of a couple weeks ago,
in relation to the malignant attacks of the
Huntingdon Globe. against the Hon. John
Scott, must have struck home to the cele
brated and renowned Cassville Professor,
as he afflicts his readers, last week, with
two and one-half mortal columns, in an
attempt to answer it. We are sorry for
the good of the cause, that that paper
did not remain an advocate of the Demo
cracy and Liberalism,as the party in Hunt
ingdon county, was again becoming united
and it is very evident the Globe, undci its
temporary regime, is determined to keep
up the fight, and make Huntingdon a
Democratic county—if in its power so to
do. The people everywhere, outside o f I
that county, see and know the cause of the
attacks against Mr. Scott, and they know
that he has been in the right, in exposing
the villainy of the little coterie of politi
cians in that county, by which they at
tempted to take the control of the party
out of the hands of the people.
For the information of the gentleman—
the Professor—we mean, who has lately
acquired such wide spread notoriety, we
will now inform him, that we consulted
with no one from Huntingdon, or any
where else, in regard to our article, or the
facts stated therein—and, Jiving as we do,
in an adjoining county, we gained our in
formation from observation and the work,
iugs of the "rule or ruin" faction in Hun-1
tingdon. We did not receive pay for sup
porting Mr. Barker. who owes his defeat
to the Professor nod his. friends, nod to&
;tu whit Iv, ehar2e utLor ::r
didates for Congress, for ticket printing.
We are not an applicant. to Mr Scott. for
the "P. 0.," in this. place, nor would we
accept the position were it tendered us—
ucithcr are we an applicant to him nor to
any other person, fin• any office, of any
kind whatever, nor public advertising,
nor Cur anything. of honor or profit fin•
ourselves, or for any friend. The Pro
fessor can now gr) on with his insinuations
and lies.
But we trust the Republicans of Hun
tingdon county, will see to it that the fast
healing breach in our ranks there, shall
not be reopened by the insane ravings
and malignity of the late importation from
Casaville. We are done with the Pro
fessor.—Hollidaysbuly Register.
rg),,„ Last week we received two Repub
licans from Bellefonte, each claiming to be
the "original Jacob Townsend." Brown
is Twen his own horn and the others arc
doing likewise. There appears to be a
Brown mix over there. Soberly, gentle
men, this matter ought to be fixed up. Go
to work and do it.
News and Notes from Washington.
Congress—Sherman's Specie Payment Bill—

—Senator Wilson's Successor—Current Events
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 6, '73.
TIIE SENATE
After an animated debate extending over
two days, on Mr. Sherman's specie pay
ment bill, finally voted, by a majority of
two, to lay the bill on the table. The re
sult was unexpected, as the impression was
general that the bill would pass, providing
for the resumption of specie payment on
the first of January, 1874. The bill will
not probably come up or the subject be
discussed again during the present session.
IRON SHIP-BUILDING WORKS.
Senator Cragin hiis prepared and is now
delivering an exhaustive speech on the
Commercial interest of the nation. The
Senator, in view of the immense amount of
iron now being produced from native ore in
Pennsylvania, .Missouri and other States,
advocates the practicability of going into
the construction of iron ships on an eaten-
sive scale, including first-elast ocean steam 'I
ships. The subject is one of Vast impor
tance, and the Senator has given it a most
thorough investigation, during which he
has ealled to his aid the statistics of both
hemispheres which bear on the subject.
He favors the bill reported by the Naval
Committee to accept the proposals of the
International Steamship Company •'to erect
a building yard for the creation of iron
steamships in which the crude ore, the
coals and flux will be received, worked in
to iron and then into steamships," thus
economising the cost of building.
It will be remembered that the Vice
President, a fewdays ago, asked the Senate
to appoint a special committee to investi
gate the charges made against himself in
connection with stock transactions. Tho
request was refused on the ground that the
Vice President could he reached oaly by
impeachment by the House. Senator Pat
terson, also implicated, made a similar re
quest on Tuesday, and it was immediately
granted without discussion. The commit
tee consists of five. It will amount to
nothing.
THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE.
There is an animated contest going on just
now, among the publishers in Washington,
to obtain the contract for reporting . and
printing and publishing the daily proceed
ings in Congress. For nearly half a cen
tury the work has been done by the Blairs
and Riveses. The reports .are published
daily in newspaper forte under the title of
the "National Globe." The proceed
ing of the, day make up the contents of
the Globe of the following 'morning, em
bracing four large pages together with a
supplement, quite often, of tow or four
pages. The same matter is afterwards
made up in small quarto pages for binding
in convenient term tbr preservation.
Hitherto the work has been very profitable,
there being a responsibility connectedwith
it that few cared to undertake. Now,
however, there are among the city printers
and publishers those who think the work I
ought to be pus up for competition, and
have been pressing Congress to ellowthem
an opportunity to offer a bid. The subject
• has been considered, and the joint commit
tee of Congress on Printing have invited
bids for the printing of the Cong,res , ional
Globe forthe Forty-third Congress. Wm. J.
Murtagh publisher of the Daily Republican
put in the lowest bid. At least it is so
reported outside of Congress. But Con
gress reserves the right to reject or accept
bids for valid reasons, it is not ye known
who is to be the lucky competitor. In fact
there is a pretty strong and a growing desire
among members of Congress to have the
reirte printed at the Government print
ing office, and if Superintendent Clapp, of
that Department, who wants the word, can
show that he can do it as cheap as it can
be done by outside competition he will prob
ably have it added to the vast. amount of
public printing done under his supeiinten
deuce :
SENATOR WILSON'S SUCCESSOR.
Senator Wilson will resign his seat in
about a fortnight, and the Massaehusetts
Legislature, now in session, will immedi
ately elect his successor. There are three
candidates, namely, Boutwell, Dawes and
Whiting. Mr. E. B. Hoar's name is
mentioned, but he is the second choice of
the Dawes men. Messrs. Whiting and Dawes
are already elected members of the next
Congress. Mr. Boutwell will, it is thought,
be the choice.
CREDIT MOBILIER.
Owing to the absence of Senator Ames,
who is expected back to-day from Massachu
setts, the Credit Mobilier Committees have
not met for two days. They commence
again to-day, and will probably close the
examination of witnesses in three or four
days. So far there has been no evidence
that Colfax and Patterson have had any
further connection with the Credit Mobil
ier than the purchase of a few thousand
dollars worth of stook at its current value.
Their offense is in the cowardice which
influenced them to conceal the facts when
first examined. If they had made a frank
confession then that would have ended the
investigation, so titras they were concerned.
But they, inexperienced in business and
stock transactions, became frightened, and
in alarm and fear failed to frankly, state
their connection with the affair. - Iu con-'
versation with Ben. Wade, a few days ago,
Senator Chandler made the tidlowing in
quiry : "What do you, Mr. Wade, think
of this Colfax and Pattersua affair with the
Credit Mobilier ?" "Well, Chandler,"
replied Mr. Wade, "if I should go home
in the afternoon and find you in my parlor,
sitting and chatting on the sofa with
. Mrs.
Wade, I would consider it all right and
exceedingly pleasant. I would invite you
to dinner, and we would have a social sea
son together. But, instead of finding you
there I had discovered you stowed away
under the soft, it would alter the case.
There was evidently an attempt at con- I
cealment and I should insist upon an in
vestigation." So in the ease or these un
fortunate Senators their crime is in the
attempt to conceal from public view their
connection with the affairs.
It does net fellow. however, that the
parties behind the curtain, the operators,
are free front fraudulent translations. The
dividends paid by the directors were too
large to be honestly earned, and the U. S.
Government being the principal creditor.
it is more than probable that it will yet be
proved before the committees that the
public Treasury has been cheated out c:1
twenty or thirty millions of dollars. We
Call form- no definite conclusions however
until all the testinmny has been taken.
OBITUARY
Sudden Death of Ex-Governor John
W. Geary.
The city was greatly excited this morn
ing by the sudden death of Gov. Geary.
He was apparently in his usual robust
health yesterday afternoon, when he re
turned from New York, and this morning
sat down to breakfast without showing the
least sign of indisposition. He spoke of
going to Lewistown to-day to attend the
funeral of Judge Woods,
when suddenly ;
while preparing some food for a little son
of his who sat beside him at the table, he
threw back his head and expired immedi
ately. This was about 9 or 9:10 this
morning. This sudden decease of the
late Governor has caused a general gloom
in the city. Individually we feel deeply
this bereavement, and the sorrow of our
citizens is unfeigned and universal. Like
other men who have filled important sta
tions, Gov. Geary, undoubtedly, had his
enemies; but they were few in comparison
with his friends, and now that he has de
parted, all will unite in lamenting the lo'ss
of a good man, who, whatever his errors,
endeavored faithfully, in every position he
held, to discharge his duty honestly and
well.
John White Geary was born near Mount
Pleasant, Westmoreland county, December
30, 1819, and was, consequently, at the
time of his death, in the 54th year of his
age. He was of Seotch-Irish descent. His
father, Richard Geary, was a native of
Franklin county, and his mother, whose
maiden name was Margaret White, was
born in Washington county, Maryland.
His father died insolvent, leaving his fami
ly entirely dependent upon their own ex
ertions for support. John, who had passed
through a course of preliminary studies
and entered Jefferson College as a student,
had this educational career suddenly inter
rupted by the death of his father, and in
order to aid his mother left college and
opened a school, which lie taught success
fully for some time, when he returned to
college and graduated with honor. After
he left cuilege he turned his attention fur
a time to commercial pursuits. They did
not prove satisfactory, and he applied him
self is the study of civil engineering, Hav
ing mastered this, he studied law and was
admitted to the bar, but preferring ingi
neering he went to Kentucky and partly
in the employ of the State and partly in
that of the Green River railroad company
hemade surveys of several lines of public
works. Soon after he was appointed As
sistant Superintendent and Engineer of
the Allegheny Portage railroad. Some
time after, on the outbreak of the Mexican
war, he was among the first to respond to
the call for volunteers, and raised a com
pany in Cambria county, which he named
America,' Highlanders. This company
was incorporated with the Second Penn
sylvania regiment, Col. Roberts, at Pitts
burgh, and Capt. Geary was elected Lieu
tenant Colonel. With this regiment he
marched to Mexico. Soon after the army
entered the Valley of Mexico, Col. Rob
erts became disqualified by sickness, and
the command devolved on Lieutenant Col
onel Geary.
The part be performed in that war, is a
matter of history. He marched under
Scott from Vera Cruz to the City of Mex
ico, participating. in all the great battles
ou that line. Col. Roberts died shortly
after the surrender of the city and Lieut.
Col. Geary was elected Colonel, and was
assigned to the command of the citadel by
General Quitman. After his return, in
recognition of his services, President Polk
appointed him Postmaster of San Francisco
and Mail Agent for the Pacific coast, with
authority to create postoffices, appoint
postmasters. establish mail routes and make
contracts for carrying mails through Cali
fornia. Subsequently he was chosen First
Alcalde of the City of San Francisco, and
then appointed Judge of First Instance,
important offices, the duties of which he
discharged with entire satisfaction to the
public. In 1850 Judge Geary was elected
first Mayor of San Francisco, and rendered
valuable service in .perfecting the mu
nicipal organization. Declining re-elec
tion for a second term, he was placed on
the Board of Commissioners created by
the Legislature for the management of the
public debt of the city. In 1856 he was
appointed Governor of Kansas by Presi
dent Pierce. His administration was short,
extending only to March, 1857. But
while he did administer the government
the laws were enforced and peace and
comparative order was maintained. But
he was not acceptable to the slavery party ;
the administration wavered in its support
of him, Buchanan had been elected Presi
dent, and in a letter to him, dated Le
compton, March 4, 1857, he tendered his
resignation. This terminated his connec
tion with public afihins, and he retired to
private lite on his farm in Westmoreland
county, where he continued until the
breaking out of the slaveholders' rebellion
in 1861.
His subsequent career in that war, for
which he was among the first to offer his
services b the Government, and in which
his gallautey- and ability as an officer,
raised him from the rank of Colonel to
that of brevet Major General of Volunteers
—is too recent and too familiar to all, to
require any p ,rtieular notice. He was a
brave and skillful soldier, and participated
lin many-of the most important and sangu
inary battles of the war, showing in all of
them cool courage, 'fitness to command
and promptness to execute."
In 1866 he was nominated by the Re
publican party of the State for Governor
and elected. That he discharged the im
portant
duties of the office to the general
satisfaction of his party and the people was
shown by the fact that he was renominated
in 1869 and re-elected. Ho had just closed
his second term, greeted with the general
approbation of the people, when it pleased
Providence to summon him suddenly fivm
all earthly connections. What his future
might have been had he lived, we can
only conjecture. He had elements of
character which, properly directed, might
have raised him still higher than he had
yet attained—but. death has closed an
eventful lila, and how inn with what resig
nation we may to the mandate which has
called *him • hence, we can only utter, in
the fullness of our heart, the hope that
"after. life's fitful fever he sleeps weir—
