Thu hall passed off very pleasantly, and all enjoyed them elves delightfully and agreeably.— Wednes day's Daily. 0111 t ISITIN(1 Fiat:MEX.—The 1: rand Parade of the Lancaster lire Department in Cetober lust seems to have been the means of establishing a series of re unions be- • tween the visiting companies who partici pated and those of Our own city. Those . re-unions are also loath: the occasions for • the giving aml receivinot ' of handsome tes timonials of different kinds, which is ap parently becoming a custom everywhere among Firemen organizations, and they all have a tendency to firmly cement the • ties of friendship, harmony and kindness formed on such meetings. The Humane Fire Company received a very handsome testi monial last week from the West Philadel phia Hose Company, which we noticed at • the time, and yesterday we • gave an account of the reception of a similar present by the Washington Fire Company from the Philadelphia 1 Company.— Next week, we are informed, that it will be our duty to record find of another from the Marion - Hose Company of Philadelphia.— But of that we shall have more to say on a future occasion. Cur task to-day is to con clude the revisit of the Philadelphia I lose Company. • After the members of the Washington Fire Company had :rested ruin the pleas ures and festivities'of their ball on Tuesday evening, they called upon their guests, yes terday morning between 11 and 12 o'clock, at "The Cooper house," whence they escorted them to the Railroad Restaurant of that clever, popular and excellent caterer, Lieut. John P. Weise, where they were entertained with an elegant lunch. Several toasts and sentiments were exchanged 1 among which was rho following proposed , by Major Chas. M. Ilowell : "Toe Philadelphia Hose, Plaeuix Hose and Washington Engine Company—a trio like a fable of old reversed. The fable of old says The Chaolix Ilew out of the lire lint our Pleenix (trio) flies in." The visi tors then adjourned to their quarters to meet the Reception Committee at the Wash ington ut It o'clock to Co to Millersville. At the appointed time, yesterday after noon, the Committee if the Philadelphia Hose, under the escort of their Washington friends, paid a visit to t he Normal School at Millersville, and sprout several hours very pleasantly in examining the workings of that 111SlitlIt1011. The visitors were re ceived by Prot'. Brooks,who conducted them through the different departments. The school was in full operation at the time, and an excellent opportunity was thus afforded of witnessing the mode of instruction pur sued. After having gone through the build ing, the Committee and their guests finally brought up in the chapel, to which about two-thirds of the pupils were summoned, for the purpose of distributing the mail mat ter received that day, and for the transaction of some other business, at the close of which Prof. Brooks introduced the visitors in a few pleasing remarks. A motion, by one of the students, that the hospitalities of the institution be extended to the firemen, was unanimously carried. T. this M r. W. 11. Woodward, of the Philadelphia llose, elo quently responded, thanking the students for the courtesies received, and expressing admiration for the institution whose work ings they had witnessed. Shortly after the visitors retired, and early in the evening returned to the city. They were then invited to the residences of John I. Hartman and Isaac ?dishier, Esqs., where they were most hospitably entertained by those gentlemen, who sot out the very bust refreshments their lar ders contained. Thence they were escorted to the Washington Engine House, where J. W. Johnson, Esq., (greatly to their sur prise and astonisnment,) presented the Philadelphians, on behalf of the Washing ton Company, a beautiful painted portrait of "Him whose name they bear—the Father of his Country," enclosed in a neat gilt frame, and also on behalf of Mr. Harry C. Bi g gs, a photograph of his sou George, in Continental costume, as he appeared on the occasion of the Firemen's parade. Georgie Biggs is a junior member of the Washing ton Company, and there appeared to be something of a resemblance in the pictures, except as to the age. This picture was also enclosed in a very pretty ornamental gilt frame. Mr. Woodward received the gifts, responding very feelingly and thankfully (" in retaliation,') forthe kind and generous treatment showered and forced upon them. At 8 o'clock they were taken to Lawrence R.napp's Saloon in East king street, where they were furnished with another elegant repast, and at 10.47 P. M. they were escort ed to the Railroad and received the usual farewell salutations on taking their depar ture for home. This visit will be another oceasiop long to be remembered, and will furnish another era in the history of the Washington Fire Company. —7hursday's FREDERICK YEAGER, who wus some two years since convicted of a number of petty larcenies, was released from our prison to day, by a pardon from the Executive.

Woodward and the Finances The financial editor of the Philadel phia Leclger thus refers to Judge Wood ward's able speech in the House a day or two ago, on the Finances and the payment of the Public Debt: Judge Woodward, of this State, made a speech in Congress last week on the subject of the,finances cud the national debt, which commands attention beyond its arguments, front the position the speaker holds as a prominent member of the party with which he is classed. He takes issue with General Butler, who in his arguments in favor of paying the principal of the national debt in depreciated legal-tenders, exempts the in debtedness of the Government contracted in coin, and when the basis of the currency was specie. Judge Woodward shows that the General is not true to the cause he espoused, for the reason that the legal-tender act ap plied to millions of private debts contracted on u gold basis, which have been liquidated in depreciated legal-tender notes. The legal tender act, the courts have decided, applied to all antecedent debt, public and private. If it is right and lawful to except a public debt contracted in gold from the operation of the legal-tender act, the Judge asks why should not private debts enjoy the same ex emption? This question is pertinent to the matter at issue, and Is of much force in get ting back to right premises. The Supreme Court has not yet passed on the Constitu tionality of the legal-tender act, and the right and power ot the Government to make anything but gold and silver a legal tender, wider any circumstances, has been very gravely questioned by the legal and judi cial mind, as well as the public generally throughout the entire country. The oppo sition—legal, judicial and popular—have almost universally condemned the issue of greenbacks as a violation of the Constitu tion, while the party authorizing their issue —legal and judicial—have generally justi fied the act only as a " war measure, i ' and rested its legality upon the basis of the right, duty and necessity of the nation pre • serving its own existence from extreme peril. 'faking the most favorable view of it, there is nojustification for any further : issue of legal tender paper currency, for there is now no " war necessity." Any further issue or use of them as a conveni ence would be a great wrong to the entire creditor class of the community, and a sure impoverishment of all those who are de pendent upon fixed incomes. These things being true, with the uncertainty of confir !nation by the Supreme Court of the con stitutionality of the law, does not good policy and wisdom invite to the di , - use of this questionable currency? Judge Woodward says, very emphati cally, : that he does not believe that Con gress uas any Constitutional power to make greenbacks a legal-tender, and, hav ing tilled the office of Chief Justice of this Commonwealth, he is certainly no mean authority; but, so far us the Courts have decided otherwise, he felt bound to respect the act as Constitutional; and if Congress had the power to snake the law, it was equally binding on all classes of credi tors, public as well as private. Hence, so long as two species of legal-tender, differing widely in value, were kept up, I he should favor the paying of all debts, not expressly excepted, in the cheapest ; "but believing it to be an evil example, destructive of that good faith which should belong to all countries, violative of the Con stitutional rights of citizens, and not within the delegated power of Congress, he would vote to wipe all such stains out of the stat• uto book. The effect of repealing that bad legislation would be happy. It would take away the ugly question started by Mr. Pen dleton; because, instead of levelling the bondholders down to other creditors,it would level the other creditors up to the bondhold ers. It would bring the country back to gold and silver, the Constitutional currency." This is sound andreasonable, and will more directly and more expeditiously reach a resumption of specie payments than any other means yet suggested. We would not have the public debt paid otherwise than in for that was, no doubt, the spirit of the contract when the money was borrowed, but would have all other creditors levelled up to those who are creditors of the Govern ment. The sooner the greenbacks can be withdrawn, leaving nothing but coin as legal tender the sooner will the question of the public debt payment be removed from politics, and settled on a Rot and equitable basis. Judge Allison sent to the County Prison for Joseph Malloy and James Keating, sen tenced on the 15th of July last to one year's imprisonment, proposing to make absolute the rule for reconsideration, and thus enable the Attorney General to test the question of the right of the Court to remit the punish- merit. Previous to this order the following notice was served upon the officers of the prison: Office of Attorney General, Philadelphia, Jan. IS, 181/S.—To the Board of Inspectors of the County Prison, and to the Superin tendent of the County Prison—Gentlemen: You will please take notice that Joseph Malloy and James Keating were convicted and sentenced by the Court of Oyer and 'l'erminer and Quarter Sessions of the Peace 1 for the City and County of Philadelphia, on 1 , the fifteenth day of July, 1867, and that on the same day it was ordered and adjudged by the said Court that they pay a fine of one cent each, and undergo an imprison ment in separate or solitary confinement at labor in Philadelphia County Prison for the term of one year each, pay the costs of, prosecution and stand committed until this judgment Is fully complied with; j that by virtue of said order and judgment of said Court, said Malloy and Keating have been since said 15th day of July, 1867, and are now imprisoned in Philadelphia County Prison, of which you are inspectors, that I shall require you to retain said de fendants in your custody until they have i completed the full term of their said Ben- I tence and fully complied with the judgment of the said Court so rendered on the 15th day of July, 1867, and that in no event shall you discharge either of them, unless par doned by the Governor or by virtue of an order made by the Supreme Court of the State upon a writ of habeas corpus being issued, or some other proper process known to the law, and if you do so discharge them I by virtue of any other order or pretended order, it will be my duty to institnte legal proceedirgs to punish said offence. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant, BENJAMIN HARRIS BREWSTER, Attorney General. Upon this, the officers of the prison de clined to send the prisoners to court upon a verbal order, whereupon a writ of habeas corpus was issued, and in accordance with the advice of private counsel the parties were sent to court. The two men were then sentenced to six months in the County Prison, thus remitting one-half of the for mer sentence.

Juetlee In the South As au illustration of the manner in which military justice is administered in the South, we give the following in cidents of recent occurrence In that sec tion : Some months ago Captain Schaaf, of the United States Army, shot and killed Colonel Shepperd, a citizen of Alabama, at Mount Vernon Arsenal, near Mobile. The murder was pro nounced a most cowardly affair. He has recently been tried by a court martial, and sentenced to pay a fine of $3OO, and to be imprisoned at Fort Pulaski for six months. A few days after that occur rence a negro committed a rape upon the person of a young lady in North Carolina. Her friends captured and hung him. Five of them were arrested and tried by a military court and sen tenced to fifteen years' imprisonment at hard labor. This is Radical justice. The life of a white man Is worth three hundred dollars and a trifling imprison nient ; that of a negro, incarceration for fifteen years.—Age. Et= Brick Pomeroy is seriously ill with fever. Gov. Jenkins has left the capital of Georgia, and retired to his home at Augusta. Phil. Sheridan is flirting with the daugh ter of Governor Fenton, of New York. All the manuscript sermons of a minister Crestline, Ohio, were recently stolen by a thief. It is hoped they will convert him. The Florida Convention met on Monday at Tallahassee. Most of its officers are ne groes. George H. Pendleton has been recommen ded for President by the Democracy of Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska and West Virginia. The Supreme Court has ordered that the McArdle case, involving the constitution ality of the Reconstruction acts, be set for a hearing on the first Monday In March. It costs fifty dollars a year to subscribe for the Moniteur, the official journal of Hayti, a semi-weekly, and single copies are two dollars ; but as the Haytien curtency is worth only about three cents in gold to the dollar, the price is not considered exorbi tant. atlorid and Baal.

GOLD BONDS, and submit to Investors the !allowing, among other obvious considerations and invite the cam parl.ori with the merits and excellencies of any class of corporate securities: I. These bonds are based upon the most vital and valuable part of the Grand National Pacific Railroad, soon to become the main channel of communication on the continent. 11. The local settlement, and the business. therefrom is remarkably large and prontable, and must constantly increase. 111. The hardest part of the road Is now built, and the remainder will be rapidly carried for ward over the Salt Lake Plains. IV. The greater part of the means necessary to build the road is provided by the U. S. Gov ernment upon a cubordmato lien. V. The State and MIMI cities of California have contributed upward of $3,000,000 to the en• terprise, without lien. VI. The grant of land is destined at an early weday to prove of far greater market value than total of the First Mortgage bonds issued upon the road and equipments. VII. This Road lies altogether among the gold and silver producing regions, and its revenues are received in coin. VIII. The management of this Company has been distinguished for prudence and economy; and the surplus earnings, after payment of ex penses and interest, are devoted to construc tion purposes. IX. The interest liabilities of the Company upon the portion now in operation are less than a third of the net earnings. X. Both principal and interest are payable tie GOLD, under special provisions of both Nation al and State enactment. These bonds In sums of $l,OOO each, with semi-annual gold coupons attached, payablaln January and July, and are offered for sale at 95 per cent. of their par value and accrued Inter. est from January 1 added, in currency. At this time they yield nearly NINE PER CENT. UPON THE INVESTMENT These bonds bid fair to attain the most prowl nent position among the non-speculative In vestments of the country, and will be actively dealt in at the money centers in Europe. Holders of Government Securities have an opportunity of exchanging them for Central PReiliC Bonds, bearing an equal rate of interest, with the principal abundantly secured, and of realizing a profit of ten to fifteen per cent. in addition.

EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY. At present, the profits of the Company are derived only from its local traffic, but this lo already lunch more than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bonds the Company can is sue, if not another mile were built. It ix not doubted that when the road is completed tbe through traffic of the only lino connecting tin • Atlantic and Pacific States will be large be yond precedent, and as there will he no competition, It can always be done at ',oat:, hie rates. It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Rail. road Is, In fact, a Government Work, h.dit under the supervision of Government, officers and to a large extant with Government money and that its bonds are issued under Govern ment direction. It is believed that no similar security is so carefully guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a larger or more valua ble property. As the Company's FIRST MORTGAGE SONGS, are offered for the present at PO CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, they are the cheapest security in the market, being more than 15 per vent. lower than United States Stocks.
