PATRICK'S DAT.
Oh t who that has not wandered far,
From where he first drew rltal air,
Can't Mil how bright the visions are,
That still surround his fancy there ?
For oh! ’tis sweet’round memory’s throne,
When time and distance gild the way,
To olte the scenes that long have flown,
And view them o’er on Patrick’s day.
Though distant from our native shore.
And hound byrfortune's stem decree,
To tread our nauve land no more,
Still Brin wednust think of thes
is there a heart of Irish mould,
That does not own the magic sway,
That tempts the generous patriot’s soul,
To celebrate Baint Patrick’s day ?
No nation since the dawn of time,
Has sacrificed more lives than we—
Our blood has flown In every clime,
That raised the shout of liberty;
But oh, will freedom never smile,
Nor shed one bright, one glorlouß ray,
To cheer our own loved native Isle*
And ralßO our hopes on Patrick’s day ?
Yea, Erin, raise thy drooping brow,
And wreathe It with the shamrock green,
Go tell thy proud, thv haughty foe,
That She’s no longer Ocean’s Queen.
Columbia’s banner waves on high,
Her Eagle seizes on Its prey.
Then Ireland wipe thy tearml eye.
And raise thy hopes this Patrick s day.
Thy gallant sons have nobJy bought
Columbia’s gratitude for thee;
In freedom’s cause they manly fought,
And shed thefr blood for liberty:
Then hoys fill. high your glasses all,!
Let tyrants tremble as they may.
The toast we drink Is England’s fall
And Ireland’s Joy, this Patrick’s day,
SPEECH OF
Hon. William A. Wallace, of Clearfield,
Delivered in the Senate 0/ Pennsylvania on
the Negro Suffrage Amendment.
Mr. Speaker, I feel, sir, that I do not pos
sess the power that I should have to do
justice to so grave a subjeot. I feel, sir,
my inability to portray as I should the
results of a policy so momentous in its
bearings, so important in its results, and so
destructive to the very essence of our in
stitutions. I approach it with no partisan
feeling, in no demagogueical spirit, but
with the feelings of one who, laying his
hand upon his heart, would do his utmost
to servo his constituents, to aid in tbo ele
vation of his fellow man and to preserve
and perpetuate the Commonwealth he
loves, in which ho was born and on whose
soil he hopes to dio. The consequences of
this amendment are far reaching. It con*
cerns the tiny infant,thegray-headed father,
the wlfeand mother, the young and the old.
Unborn generations are lo feel its effects,
and the destinies of tho State are in its
keeping; in its adoption the well known
and recognized landmarks of our system
and the established policy of the fathers of
the government are to be reversed. We
should approach its consideration, sir, with
the consciousness that this is the forum of
tho people; that around us now and within
the sound of our voices are gathered the
living millions of the Commonwealth, and
that from this elevation tbo echo of our
voices, the solemn record of our votes are
to penetrate the unknown years of luturity.
Feelings of awoat the magnitude of the is
sue should prompt us to announce here the
grave reasons that impel us to adopt or to
reject it, and I cau but express my regret
that the Republican party upon this floor,
gentlemen of education, of talent and of
eloquenco, representing a mnjority of the
peoplo of the Slate, have in obedience to a
prearranged order, seen lit in silence to
register tho will of caucus. I regret, and I
believe that I represent five sixths of the
people of the .State when I say It, that they
nave refused to render hero the reasons that
impol them to the votos they are about to
give. In a back room of thocapitol, during
the past night, tbo Senators representing
310,000 of the electors and two millions ol
the people of Pennsylvania, have choked
the arguments that should find utterance
here, and in grim and moody'silence, be
fore the assembled majesty of the people,
und in the presence of their constituents,
await the hour for casting the votes that
are to adopt a policy that affects the very
life of our institutions within this Common
wealth. For this refusal, Senators, you
must answer to your constitutents, und
I arraign you before them with the proud
consciousness that upon this issue I repre
sent not the minority but the vast majority
of thtypeoplo.
Sirs, tho party to which you belong Is an
aggressivo one ; inexorublu purty necessity
presses you ouward; you must advance;
rightorwrongyoumiistgoon; if you stop to
concert measures to bringgood government
peace und rest to an exhausted peoplo, if
you do but turn aside to cause truth and
justice and equity to reign in all the land,
your inability to govern is demonstrated,
und tho party you boast us your pride is
proved to bo as “ baseless as the fabric of a
vision.” It is this inexorable necessity that
is now pressing you forward, it is this
that compels you to-day to crush out with
the will of an accidental mnj >rity the refer
ence of this question lo the people, and to
deny to them their right to puss upon it,
und It is this that impels you to place your
bunds upon your mouths and by silence to
acknowledge the weakness of your cause
and your inability to defend the measure
you intend to vote for.
I now address myself to our power over
this subject, and will brielly reproduce tho
arguments advanced in tho minority roport
of this morning:
Sovereignty is in tho people, not in tho
sense in which this assertion is often Itghtly
made, but in thntsubstauilal and
sense which makes it the very basis of our
system of government. Our own constitu
tion explicitly provides in the second sec
tion of the declaration of rights, “that all
pdwer is inhoront in the people."
This great power is not vested in the
State, nor in the United Stales. Neither a
legislature nor a convention can possess it.
Under our system the work of a conven
tion specially delegated to form a constitu
tion is inoperative until it is passed upon
by tho people, and receives from their
hands its vitality. The Constitution of' the
United .States and that of our own State |
both passed the ordeal of the people and |
became operative only under their appro- !
val. The tendency ol public opiniou is I
more and moro in this direction, for of the |
constitutions adopted in the United Slates, !
upwards of eighty have thus beeti sub* ,
mitted and approved !
The proposition contained in tho amend- :
ment is a fmuUnnmtal one. liv this wo 1
mean that it was one ot those vital and im
portant rights that entorod deeply into the
compromises of tho Constitution and that
power over it was given neither to the Fed
eral nor the State government, but that tho
right to declare who should exercise tho
power ol election in the State was reserved
to tho people aud remains with them.
Wo have no power over ibis question. It
belongs to the people, although a techuical
reading of the Federal Constitution on the
subjectofamendment seems to indicate thit
we have the power that really belongs to
the pooplo.
We are of opinion that the power of the
legislature of this State to ratify of its own
motion and amendment to tho Federal Con
stitution is to bo restrained and confined to
those matters over which control has been
vested by the people in the Federal aud
State governments.
Our power cannot go beyond this, for the
stream cannot rise higher than itssourcei
Without the consent of the peoplo'of this
State, a right that is not grunted by them
to either the Federal or tho State govern
ment, cannot be taken from them, nor can
tho rights of u minority of the States be
taken away by tho majority, when the
right invaded has uover beeji within the
control of tho Federal Government. If
thin attribute of sovereignty can be taken
from us by Congress aud the Legislature
then liberty of the press and trial by jury
can in like munner bo swept, and itis with
in the power of amendment to create an es
tabUshed cburch and connect Church aud
State.
Tho exorcise of this power by the Legis
lature, without the consent of the people, is
no amendment , it in revolution.
A further consideration of the structure
of our government and of Iho powers gran
ted by the people loud us to the same con
clusion.
The Legislature of tho State is limited and
controlled by tho provisions of the State
constitution. Its acts in violation thereof are
void. As uu independent body, every at
tempt on its part to interfere with the right
of suffrage, or to change the rule (hereof, is
of no eifect. It may register the public will,
but it can never act with power upon a sub
ject beyond its control. The Constitution
of the United States is a’'part of the consti
tution of Pennsylvania and the constitution
of Pennsylvania is a part of the Constitu
tion of the United States. Each is supreme
within its spero. The government of the
United Slntes is one of enumerated powers;
all powers not granted to it “are reserved to
the States and the people.” We may, for
the purposes of this report, consider it to be
supreme in its control of doubtful and con
current powers, yet beyond these wide
fields and outside of tho range of its au
thority, is found the control of this im
portant subject. It is reserved to the
States, or the people. It is a part of the
State constitution, qnd in that respect the
provisions thereof are the supreme law.
-Being neither an enumerated, a concurrent,
nor a doubtful power under the Federal
Constitution, its control manifestly is in the
State or the people. This amendment would
be futile if the subject of it were not beyond
the pale of Federal authority. No one will
argue that its control is in the State legis
lature, if the provisions of the Federal Con
stitution on the subject of amendment are
not to be considered, but we have already
seen that it is in no manner controlled by
Federal authority. If it is, then the State
constitution, the supreme law upon this
subject, is made inferior to the power of
the State legislature, and they may by
amendment override it. No such violation
of the rights of the people was over contem
plated by the frumers of our constitutions,
but the plain and clear interpretation of the
whole subject is, that this right is one that
belongs to tho people and can only be af
fected or controlled by them.
If by the vote of the legislatures of three
fourths of the States this amendment be
ratified, and by tho action of our State it is
rejected, then our control of suffrage in
Pennsylvania is taken from us by the vote
of the legislatures of Florida and Oregon.
Suroly such a result as this was never con
templated by the framers of the govern
ment.
If it btyi over been supposed to exist, the
Federal Constitution would never have
been ratified.
\ For these reasons I conclude that sover
-0 eignty upon this subject is reserved to the
jj people that the power of amendment in this
( form without their consent does not Qxist,
but that It does exist os to all these matters
In which powers and rights nro vested by
THELANOA
the State or Federal Constitution In the
State or Federal Government.
The people of the State established this
rule and it is their right to be consulted in
itschange. We cannot err in goin gto them
for instructions.
To exercise this power without going to
the people, as I have already said, is not
amendment, itis revolution. ,
In accordance with these opinions I sno
mitted to you this preamble and resolu
tions:
“ Whebeas, The Congress of the United
States has proposed an amendment to tne
Constitution thereof, to be known as Artiole
XV, which changes the rale of suffrage
now existing in this Commonwealth, and
substitutes therefor another and a different
rule, which said amendment is now sub
mitted to the Legislatures of the different
States for ratification; and .
Whereas, “All power is inherent in the
people,” and it is right that they should
have amopportanity to vote ior or agaiDst
the ratification of the said amendment and
to determine whether they will or will not
change the rule of suffrage now-»existing;
therefore,
That the Judiciary Committee
of the Senate bo and they are hereby in
structed to prepare and forthwith report to
the Senate a bill for the submission of the
question of the ratification of the said amend
ment to the people at the electiojvin October ,
1809.
Resolved, That the Senate will not act
upon the question of the ratification of the
said amendment to the Constitution of the
United States at its present session, but will
await the action of the people at tho polls
thereon. , , ,
By a strict party vote you have voted
down this proposition and denied to tho
people the right to pass upon the question.
That responsibility is'now yours, and font
you must answer to them.
In the brief remainder of the thirty min
utes you have allowed us to discuss this
issue, I shall address myself to the subject
in its practical bearings, and at the outset
I disclaim for myself and those with whom
I act all hostility to the negro, as such. The
experienee of tho past has proved that their
rights, as a race, are quite as safe with
those of our faith, as they aro with those
who now seek to make of them a political
power. It is for this purpose, and this
alone, they are now spught to bo vested
with tho right of suffrage.
In every right that belongs to the negro,
as man, he is entitled to and has always
found protection in this Commonwealth.
The declaration of rights of the constitution
is his ample shield aud defence. Life, liber- ,
ly und property, trial by jury, habeas cor- \
pus, education and all tbeother.greut privi
leges won by tbo Saxou and perpetuated in
our institutions are frooly accorded to tho
negro. Beyond this tho pi ople of this Com
monwealth have never gone, und, I believe, .
are unwilling now to go. The political j
power of the Htate has always vested in ti e 1
white race, and it should remain there. j
The Creator has distinctly marked tho \
lino of difference' between the two races.
The elevation of the one to the privileges
and society of the olher is the degradation
of the superior. The attempt to alter the
order of naturo will bring upon the negro ;
the resentment of the white. Prejudices
founded upon nature are ineradicable in
their character. Tho attempt of the negro .
to go to the polls with tho white man will i
produce difficulties between them, aud the j
law will bo invoked to enable the negro to :
exercise the right yeu give him. This will 1
but serve to increase tho prejudice and
arouse still more keenly the feelings of pas- ;
sion.
The interests and well being of the white |
man in this Commonwealth are ipore im- ;
portant than aro those of the negro, for if •
suffrage be the great test of happiness and I
of progress, how much more important that I
four millions of whites shuli bo protected
thereby than seventy-live thousand ne
groes.
I.n what respect do wo .benefit the white
race by this amendment, and in what is
the negro so largoly benefited? Will the
votes of tho negroes add to our prosperity,
our hnppiness, or our national progress?
Can the admixture of the inferior add to
the value of the superior, or will it deterio
rate and reduce its quality? The benefit
to be attained is purely partisan. The pro
position is born of tbo necessities of the
Republican party. Nino thousand majority
at the polls in October last, with all the pres
tige and popularity of a military chieftain
to aid you, demonstrated tbo necessity for
more votos, and in this you hope to obtain
them. The right of voting aud of being
voted for have always gone together in
Pennsylvania, but this proposition is a
negation of that principle. It says to tho
negro, “help us to power aud place, but
you shall have none of it.”
Tho practical working ofthisamendment
will be prejudicial to the best interests of
the State. Many of the best class of white
citizens now refrain from voting because of
the difficulty of access to the polls and the
waste of time consequent thereon, and if the
secret workings of the minds of many of
these were discoverable, it would be found
that contempt for the system and tbo char
ncterof the means used in political strug
gles largely enter into the motives of these
citizens. Will this be improved or render
ed worse by tho further debasement of suf
frage? Ido not pretend to justify such
sentiments, but we would be to ig
nore their existenc, eespeciailv iu the lurgo
cities and more populous localities. There,
too, often are found lines of voters asquare
in length, in which each must take his turn
and every artifice and trick is resorted to to
embarrass tho right and delay its exercise,
and citizens must remain l'or hours iu order
to vote. These are some of tho reasons why
many of our best citizens refuse to vole.
, i-WiU we increase tho number of this class
who visit the polls by sandwiching them
on a warm. October afternoon between two
stalwart negroes ?
It is our duty to protect the interests of the
whole people and not sacrifice the settled
policy of the State for the benefit of a few.
Negroes never were electors in Pennsylva
nia, and I lake distinct issue with the Sen
ator from Erie (Mr. Lo\vrv)upon thalpoint. ,
Judge Agnew of the Supreme Court, in tho j
Pennsylvania convention of 1838 said : ;
“The history of Pennsylvania proves that !
the African race never were considered a 1
part of the sovereignty of Pennsylvania.
They were not looked upon as being a part
of the community at all, and consequently
they could have no right to vote.”
Mr. Fisher. Does the Senator deny that
tho Africans did vote in this State?
Mr. Wallace. Ido not deny that in somo
| counties of the State they were permitted
occasionally to vote, but that they had a
right to do so is expressly denied by Judge
Agnew ; and Chief Justice Gibson in LLobbs
vs. Fogg, bib Watts, expressly decided they
had no such rights. Tim law of Pennsyl
vania, and the policy of its pooplo, have
always treated them as an inferior race,
and ns such they are recognized to this day.
This position is fully re-assorted in the
case of the West Chester and Philadelphia
railroad company, vs. Miles in sth P. F.
Smith's reports, in which .1 udge Agnew de
j dares: “Tho natural separation of the
S races is therefore an undeniable fuct, and
all social organizations which lead to their
amalgamation are repugnent to the law of
nature.”
Tho law of 1780, which abolished slavery
in Pennsylvania, coucoded to tho negro the
protection of the laws, but it gave him in
express terms but a part of that freedom
which tho white race enjoyed.
Under the ruieof stiifrago established by
th epeoplc in this State, one man votes for
six people, the rights of five are Ignored,
and but one is recognized as a political
power. Four millions of people reside j
within our limits, yet 050,000 men control |
the State, and less than 350,000 of those !
spoke the voico of our population in Octo- j
ber last. Universal suffrage is a myth, and j
the sickly cant upon that subject, so com- I
mon in those days, is arrant humbug. It \
never has existed and never can exist in
practice, and this in itselfdemonstrates that
suffrage is not a natural right. The rule of |
exclusion must be fixed somewhere and j
every Slate must draw that line for itsedf. j
The people of this State have said that this j
is a political community of white men over \
the age of 21 years , and have vested them
with the p9wer of the State. Universal
suffrage cannot exist, foe. in practice it is
invariable to exclude those not naturalized,
those under a certain age and females. We
have a million and aMialf of females, as
deeply interested in the success of our in
stitutions as you or I, vested by nature
with all those qualities which would
make them fitted for all of the duties
of tho State, and infinitely superior to
the negro. Yet they are excluded. There
are more citizens under Lhe age of 21 years
than there are over that age. They have
more interest in ibis government, Senators,
than we have, for they are to survive us
and those who elected us: they are to de
fend the Commonwealth in the near future :
they are to pay its taxes and administer its
government. Yetall these are excluded and
deprived of the right. But you affirm that
the negro defended the Republic In war,
and therefore he should be given the right
of sutlrage. If this be sound, why will you
not give it to tho half million of men be
tween the ages of 15 and 21, from whose
ranks you filled the gaps in your regiments
during ull of the war. Were they not as
gallant, are they not as intelligent, have
they not as much interest in our institu
tions as the negro? Yet depriving ail of
those classes of this right, you are about to
, throw open the polls to/he negro. .It is a
privilege, nay a duty, and ail cannot be
vested with it. Why shall we admit the
inferior and exclude the superior? Why
include the few and exclude tho many?
Why enfranchise the less deserving and
exclude tho more meritorious ?
“ Suffrage is a political power vested by
the sovereignty of the commmlity in a
chosen body of electors.” It involves du
ties and responsibilities,and it isour duty as
members of the State to place those respon
sibilities and devolve those duties upon
those best fitted to perform them. It is the
right of the mass of the people to be prop
erly represented at the polls, and it is the
right of the Commonwealth to be well served
by her electors. Can these duties and re
sponsibilities be best fitted.by every mem
ber of the community, or shall it be by a se
lected body? Experience in every age has
determined the latter. Whilst recognizing
the beauty of the the ideal right wemusfnot
fail to remember the practical. The right, as
it can be attained by human agencies is
only that which is practically within tho
reach of man, having regard to his sur
roundings and the circumstances under
which be exists, and no statesman can sur
render the attainable good of the greatest
number for the visionary and '.unattainable
standard of perfect right. Hence, those
who framed our governments wisely ex
cluded the idea of unlimited suffrage and
confined it to a chosen body of the white
people. In this we see and recognize their
wisdom and forethought, and from it we
may fitly conclude that in the exclusion of
five-sixths of their own race they did not
dream that thosefshould bo made Bubordi-
IT EE* WEEKLY M AJEIOM 1869. ! r r
nate to tho control of an inferior race, then '
and’for years previous a servile people.
The whole question for consideration is.
who can best perform the dudes required
by the Commonwealth at the hands of her
electors, and there are no interests of mor
ality, no interests of religion, no interests of
society that demand that we should mould
the inferior-with the mass of the superior,
and thus debase the whole.
The interests of a vast political commun
ity are at stake, and it iB wrong to incur any
risk, remote though it maybe, in giving
them the controlling power of the govern
ment.
The influence of race upon nadonal des
tiny can scarcely be doubted. The inherent
nature, the intellectual, moral and animal
qualities of families of men, largely aid in
shaping the course and position of the na
tion they control or of whloh they form a
part, and “ all history in its ultimate analy*
sis is a history not of kings andl®** 1 ® pot of
races.” This is one of nature’s hidden
forces silently working out its own great
problem. It is as true that man makes the
institution of which he forms a part, and
impresses with all of bis mental and ani
mal propensities, as it is that governments
are made for men, not men for govern
ments. Our progress is one of the best
evidences of the truth of this proposition.
Contrast the career of the Saxon for six
hundred years with that of the African for
four thousand years, and see in this the
power of race. Compare the results of the
energy of the Caucasian admixture as found
within this Republic, with the evidences
of the energy of the mixture of that race
with the Indian and negro as found in the
Republic of Mexico, and discover here, too,
the influence of race upon national destiny.
We have proved our capacity 5 they have
demonstrated their weakness. We have
impressed upon every portion of the Re
public ihe evidences of our intellect and
energy. The busy marts of commerce, the
thriving, restless and indomitable millions
of our people, the school honse upon every
bill, the church spire wherever man is
found, the shrieking engine tracking hill
and dale and valley, and dragging riches
from the earth, the college, the telegraph
and the factory, the advanced require
ment in every branch of literature, of
science and of art, our wonderful increase
in population, are the proofs of our capaci
ty, the majestic results of a government of
white men. They are the patents of our
nobility, the insignia of our right to rule.
These, all of these, prove to us the wisdom
of the policy of the founders of our govern
ment and it should be our pride to continue
I in the career of progress so auspiciously
| begun. Shall wo jeopardizo our future,
ehall we initiate a new and dangerous poli
cy, shall we yield to a mixed and mongrel
raco the place we have won lho right to oc
cupy ?
Senators, I pray yon to hesitate and think
i before you fasten upon an unwilling peo
-1 pie this dangerous, and, I fear, disastrous
; policy.
C’nbau Troubles.
Washington, March I*3,
For three or four weeks prior to the end
of Mr. Johnson’s term as Prosident, pgents
of tho Cuban Revolutionists were here urg
ing the late Administration to recognize
them us belligerents. They received no
direct encouragement from Mr. Johnson,
who, however much he may huve favored
tho petition, was probably restrained from
any action iu the matter by Mr. Seward,
who favored the issuing of a proclamation
forbidding the formation of armed expedi
tious and recruiting in the United States in
aid of the Cuban Revolutionists, this coun
try being at peace with Spain, and Cuba
being one of her dependencies.
So the mutter stood at the conclusiou of
Mr. Johnson’s term. Immediately upon
the inauguration of General Grant as Presi
dent, the agents of the Cuban insurgents
renewed their efforts for recognition, aud
found tuvor and encouragement in both
branches of Congress, aud it is said received
encouragement iu both branches of Con
gress, aud it is said received encourage
ment from the Executive. These facts be
coming known to the Spanish embassy
here, and action being taken looking to this
recognition iu the form of.a resolution in
the House, remonstrance has been made by
theSpauish Minister to our Government.
In view of possible difficulties that may
arise from this stale of affairs, tbo Govern
ment has to-day, through the Nayy Depart
ment, ordered two iron-clad vessels to pro
ceed ut ouce to Key West, and that a part
of the Pacific squadron proceed immediate
ly to Cuban waters.
Discovery of tlie Murder of Gen. Iliad-
Memphis, Mar. 17.—A prisoner in the
Helena, (Arkansas,( Jail yesterday over
heard two negro prisoners discussing the
assassination of Gen. Hindman, and in
formed the jailor, who. together with the
Marshal, took one of them out, and after
charging the prisoner with tho crime,
tho latter confessed to being one of the
nine negroes who laid formed a conspiracy
to burn the town of Helena, to avenge the
hanging of a negro, last September, for
rape. Three of the party had gone to Hind
man’s house for the purposed' burning it,
he having presecuted the negro who was
hung. Ono of the number seeing Hindman
sitting at a window, levelled a musket at
him and fired, kiliinghim. The others be
coming frightened, fled and abandoned tho
[)lot to burn the town. Five of the niue
have been arrested, and are now in jail.
Sale of SnrrnttHville.
This property, which, by reason of its
connection with the conspiracy trial and the
Jute of its unhappy owner, has become
quite historic, was disposed of at private

UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD
are now completed
As 534 miles of tne western portion of the fine,
beginning at Sacramento, are also done, but
200 MILES UEMAIX
To be .Finished, to Open the Grand
Through Xine to tbe Pacific. This Open
ing will Certainly Take Place Early
this Season.
£ Besides a donation from the Government of
12,890 acres of land per mile, the Company Is
entitled to a subsidy in U. S. Bonds on Its line
as completed and accepted, at the average rate
of about 528,500 per mile, according to the dffi
cultles encountered, for whlcn the Govern
ment takes a second lien as security. Whether
subsidies are given to any other companies or
not, the Government will comply with all its
contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. Nearly the whele amount of bonds
to which tbe CompanySwlll be entitled have
already been delivered.
FIRST MORTGAGE BOND
AT FAB
By Its oharter, the Company'ts permitted to
Issue Its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONUS to
the same amount as the Government Bonds,
and no more. These Bonds are a First
gage upon the whole road and all Its equip*
ments.
THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO RUN,
AT SIX PER CENT., and, by special contract,
both
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
PAYABLE IN GOLD
M&- The U. S. Supreme Court basrecently de
cided that this contract is In all respects valid
and of legal obligation.
Such securities are tenerally valuable mpro
portlon to tho length of time they have to run.
The longest six per cent, gold interest bondsot
the U. S. (the ’Bl’s) will be due In eight years,
and they are worth 112. If they had thirty
years to run, they would stand at not less than
125. A perfectly sale First Mortgage Bond like
the Union Pacific should approach this rate.
The demand for European Investment Is al
ready considerable, and ou the completion of
the work will doubtless carry the price to a
large premium.
SECURITY OF THE BONDS.
It needs no argument to show that a First
Mortgage of 828,500 per mile upon what for a
long time must be tbe |onJy railroad connect
ing the Atlantic and Pacific States is
FECTLY SECURE. The entire amount of the
mortgage will be about $30,000,000, and tbe in
terest $1,800,000 per annum In gold. The pres
ent currency cost of this Interest is less than
$2,500,010 per annum,'.while tho gross earnings
for the year 1808, FROM WAY BUSINESS only,
on AN AVERAGE OFLESSTHAN7QOMILES
OF ROAD IN OPERATION, WERE MORE
THAN
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
