Monday; November IS, 1869 f ' THt PROSPECTIVE KINO OF SPAIa • The chances of the election of the Duke of , Genoa to the throne of Spain seem to be ltn r aroTing, and it is not unlikely that, under the skilful direction of Gen. Prim, who is the most < powerful man in Spain and the sturdiest advo cate of the Italian Prince, the opposition will, eventually, be overcome. A cable despatch • informs us that the Italian cabinet has signified its warm approval Of the candidature of the ' Puke, and so the first obstacle which, under some improbable circumstances, might have been insurmountable, is removed. In the Spanish cabinet the opponents of the favorite candidate are being counted out. Admiral Topete. the bitterest enemy of the Duke, has : resigned, and two other ministers have fol „ |<, W ed his example rather than support Gene ral Prim's designs. Their places have been filled . with more pliable men, or at least with men whose views coincide with . those of Prim. In the Cortes the same pro cess is going on. There are several vacant seats in that body, many of them having been occupied by llepublicafis who left the Legisla ture to unite with the revolutionists in the re cent rebellion. These, of course, have for-. ' feited theirplaces;, some of them have been condemned to.death. General Prim is using his immense influence to iill all the vacancies With deputies who will vote for his candidate, • and we do not doubt that he Will succeed, in \ this manner, in securing a great many votes, perhaps a majority, in favor of his scheme. So, with the ministry and the Legislature pledged to support the Duke of Genoa, that young gen tleman may consider the chance of liis elevation to very good indeed, despite the fact that liis mother protests vigorously against liis election. We ■ shall be glad if Prim succeeds with bi» under taking. It appears to be impossible to procure a decision in favor of any candidate without proceeding to such measures as those adopted by him; and as Spain, meanwhile, is without a ruler, and is-kept in constant agitation by the quarrels of the advocates of various aspirants, it seems desirable that some strong arm should be interposed to force a settlement. The Duke ®f G enoa, although a mere boy, is about the best «f any of the princes nominated. He comes of good s'oek, he. is a generous, sincere and in telligent youth, and he is having instilled into him sound, wholesome Anglo-Saxon notions ®f liberty and of the rights of man, at Harrow • school, where he is under the instructions of MrrMatthew Arnold. If he is placed upon the throne of Spain, and is guided aud trained during the years of his minority by pure and good men, he will probably make an excellent nder, and in future years lead his people nearer to that true freedom to which they now but for which, at present, they are hardly fitted. 'l'll]- lIAYTI ASNEXinOS SCHEME. It is alleged that General Babcock has gone foTlayti, to try again to induce the Haytiens to join with the Dominicans in agreeing to a plan for the annexation to the United States. If t his is true, we sincerely hope General Bab- cock will not he success&d. The absorption ©f Hayti by this country at the present time might be a blessing to the Haytiens whose currency, imderthe pressure of a hopeless debt, has depreciated so that $l,BOO of it is worth but an American gold dollar, but it would be a curse to us. At this very moment the island is distracted by a revolution in which Salnave is contending with rival chieftains who exist for the apparent purpose of quarreling with the government, no matter who is at the head of it. Whether this is the old revolution which has been going on for years, whether it is of comparatively recent origin, or whether it lias just broken out, nobody knows. Nobody outside of Hayti can toll what the intention of the contending forces is, and we doubt if any body in or out of Hayti, excepting the leaders, can tell what it is all about. It is conducted by men who have selfish ends of some kind in view, and who use the chronic disposition oj the people to turbulence and uproar to furthei their schemes. If we annex Uayti, we wil have to be a participant to some extent in these squabbles ; and if we repress them by force we shall still have to contend with an ignorant, violent, Unruly population, which is opposed to annexation to any foreign country, but espe cially t« the United States, and which is most illiberal, and indeed cruel in the treatment of the white men who reside upon the island. Even if Salnave consented to annexation, we have no guarantee that he will not bo kicked out of oflice before the act is completed, and that his proceedings will not be repudiated by his suc cessor. Indeed, his participation in such a scheme would be nearly certain to secure bis overthrow, and then we should either have to abandon the design or to complete it by force. In any event some pecuniary compensation would be required, no matter who Was the ruler, and the least that could be demanded would he that we"should pay the Ilaytien debt. In Congress, last winter, this was stated variously at from half a millioi^ to seven mil lions of dollars. From the condition of the currency we have good reason to believe that jbe latter sum is nearer the truth, but this would be hut a partial item of the cost if' we should have to hold the island by force; and at the present time it would he folly to incur any such expenditure unless we Were to secure much greater advantages than we could reap by absorbing Hayti. But the insuperable objection is the character and feel ing of the population. \Ve question the ex pediency, to any time of attempting a wholesale incorporation of a foreign people into our body politic; but especially so in such a ease, as this, where the people will be entirely removed from American influence, where' they will have no •pportunity to form a familiar acquaintance with our institutions and customs, and where & violent animosity upon their part iwli!ijjose ! f’ t. '• !■ tfccm to attempt to assimilate themselves to ns- We Hope therefore that General Babcock will not meet with success if his mission has this annexation for its object, and if he is success ful, we trust that the subject may receive the careful and cautious consideration of <*>n gi-ess before it is approved and settled finally. PAI» nBE I»EI*Af TJIE?.T. . , The only Paid Fire Department in rhdadel nhia, as yet, is that of the Continental Hotel, and that is a model of efficiency and good management. It is compact, powerful and always ready. It never indulges in street lights, and makes no poise in going to fires. Moreover it never gives balls, and bas no com- „ .mittces who canvass the city to sell tickets or solicit subscriptions for a new machine. It never invades the Chambers of City Councils, and lias no hangers-011 to bring It into dis credit by tlieir pilferings and riotings at fires. The Paid Fire Department of tlfo Continen tal Hotel consists of one sturdy little Worthing ton steam pump, in the subterranean engine room, nearly two thousand feet of hose, dis tributed from the cellar to the roof, with attachments on every floor of tile building, one Barney Carlin, Chief Engineer, half a dozen nimble, well-trained assistants, axes, buckets, lanterns, ropes, &c., wherever they are likely to be available, and over all, one Junius E. Kings ley, proprietor, superintendent and general provider for the safety of people and property in the Continental Hotel and parts adjacent. The prindpal expenditure for this Paid Fme Department is in enterprise, public spirit, vigi lance and promptness, and it realizes a large income in the comfort and jsecurity and high reputation which result from its able manage ment. • Since the fire at the Messrs. Earles gallery the Insurance Companies have experienced a realizing sense of the value of this Paid Fire Department. Its unaided efforts, on that oc casion, saved the establishment of Mr. Wana maker from destruction, and tires -Insurance Companies from heavy loss. They have recently made an appropriate recognition of the importance of this private enterprise by presenting die Continental Hotel with one thousand feet of hose, of the best quality, which, with wliat was already in use, gives Mi'. Kingsley’s Fire Department control not only of bis own property, but of the surrounding . blocks in every direction. On Saturday, the Continental Fire Depart ment gave an impromptu exhibition of its in creased capacity, which was most satisfactory to all who witnessed it. An iron main extends across the roof, with three attachments, and on each wing is a convenient hose-house, contain ing two hundred and fiity feet of hose. Sig nals communicate with the engine-room in the basement, and in case of fire, the firemen, un der command of their chief, Mr. Barney Car lin, are always ready for service. In less than five minutes, on Saturday, without any effort at special speed, three lines of hose were led out, the pipes attached, the engine started and three powerful streams wei'e being forced through ljj-inch nozzles, north, south and cast. This was done without the least noise or con tusion, eaeli man understanding his business, and all under the control of their chief. For the protection of the interior of the building, the ascending main is tapped at each landing, and .an abundant supply of hose is kept at tached and in good service order. After the experiment on the roof, two streams wei'e thrown from Sansom street, far above the lofty . eaves of the hotel, each exceeding in power and volume the performance of our first-class steamers. The proprietors of the Continental Hotel have not only made a most wise provision for the safety of their own valuable property and their large family of guests ; they are not only prepared to protect their neighbors as well as themselves; hut they h f ave furnished, on a small scale, a working model of a Paid Fire Department, which makes all who see it more anxious than ever that the advantages of such a system should he speedily extended to the whole city of Philadelphia. HEbPIXO THEMSELVES. If “ Providence helps those who help them selves,” people who desire to do good may safely adopt the same rule. Ever since Eman cipation opened to the slaves of- our Southern States the prospect of a better life, they have evinced a remarkable degree of earnestness in acquiring that knowledge which is Ihe founda tion of all advance in civilization. The Govern ment has done much, through the agency of the Freedmen’s Bureau, to help these struggling people toward the light. The Peabody Educar tion Fund, if properly and impartially ad ministered, will, eventually, do still more. ] But while it is gratifying to watch and® record what has been and is done for the colored race,- it is still more gratifying and interesting to see what they have done and are doing for them selves. The thiist for knowledges© longwith held from them, and for that elevation to manhood which knowledge is to give them, has been remarkably exhibited by the young and old of both sexes. Many of the schools es tablished by the Freedmen’s Bureau and the various philanthropic societies at the North are already either wholly or in large part self-sup porting, and the average attainments of the pupils are very satisfactory, when the absolute ignorance in which most of them entered the schools is considered. In some parts ot the country, where the provisions for .education among the colored people have been insufficient or entirely neglected, vigorous efforts arc being made to supply tlieir intellectual wants, by their own exertions. Just now, one of these enter prises is being piAschted to the philanthropic j people of ►Philadelphia. There is a very considerable* colorei} population scattered around the neighborhood of Bladens burg, Md., and these people are now making a most )i]aisew<»tliy,eitbrt to ¥ se(‘.in'e for them selves the ad vantages of education by establish ing a good school for themselves and their children. They have already succeeded in purchasing a suitable piece of land, embracing forty acres, the appreciation in the value of which, will go far to secure a permanent en dowment for their school. Their agent, an in telligent ex-slave, John Parker, is now in Phila delphia, working hard to raise money to put up their school-house, and we trust that he will he cordially received and liberally encouraged jp his praiseworthy mission. There are now about two hundred children waiting to enjoy the advantages of this school, besides a •large number of adults; and "as the white population of Maryland is neither very willing nor very able to give these people any substantial aid, they naturally turn toward those who gave them such aid and comfort during their first days of freedom. Vi ’ As a sufficient guarantee that the funds'eon- THE DAILY EVENING BUIABm-PHU-AmPHI'A, MONDAY, KOVEMBE'Ii 1(1, 1869. tributed for . this much-needed school at -Bla? densburg will be properly expended, wewould state that our well-known fellow-citizen, Evan > Randolph, Esq., 115 Chestnut street, has un dertaken to receive and attend to the prop# disbursement of all contributions which may be made in this city for, this good cause. These colored people are striving, iii good faith, to help themselves. They should be generously helped in doing so. BEDFORD STBEEJV, On Saturday Judge Peirce and District Attorney Gibbons went into the Bedford street district, and under the direction of the mis sionary, Rev. Mr. Long, and a policeman, vis ited the various institutions which are at once the offspring and the ministers of the vice and crime fthich make that section the plague spot of the city. It was eminently proper that these two gentlemen, officers of the criminal court, should make a personal examination of a dis trict which yields ffom its population daily con tributions ten the' court and. to the county prison. Here, in the shops" where ruinous whisky is sold; in the damp cellars; in the - bawdy houses ; and in the fold dens which lie hidden in the recesses of rickety buildings are bom and nurtured nearly all tbe thieves and beg gars and petty criminals who prey upon honest men, and live by habitual violation of tiie law. The atmosphere of the place is poisonous, and the poor creature who drifts into Bedford street and breathes its air, will inevitably be come either an outlaw, or else a miserable wretch without physical or intellectual force enough to practice rascality. The CourtsV°- vide for the punishment of the results of Bed ford street. The Mission strikes at the root of jthe evil, and strives to remove the cause of all this misery and wickedness. To accomplish this it must have the support, notonly of Judge Peirce and the District Attorney, but of every man who cares for the peace and security of the city and ’ for suffering humanity. From the visit of the Judge and Mr. Gibbons we hope to secure some good results; but we wish that other men, who have greater wealth and inlluence, might follow their ex ample and visit these slums. The newspapers have painted the horrors of Bedford street over and over again, until the theme is worn thread bare, but tbe most graphic description will fail to present anything like an adequate picture of the true condition of the people of the district. A personal examination alone will do,this; and we venture'to assert that if benevolent gentle men who now treat siis matter With indiffer ence will only explore the street and its sur roundings, for an hour or two, they will be quickened into active, earnest sympathy with the movement which is being made to purify and regenerate these wretched people. A nobler charity never existed; true philanthropy never had a better field in which to exercise itself. Chicago, in the season, is the centre for the most extraordinary quantity and variety of all maimer of American wild game,' and for the last fourteen years the enterprising proprietor of the Tremont'House, Mr. John B. Drake,has been accustomed to celebrate the “top of the season” by a Game Dinner which could pro bably ilot he produced at any other spot onthe face, of |the globe. The following is the game department of the bill of fare for this year’s Game Dinner: Black birds, quails, snipe, blue wing teal, squirrels, antelope steaks, but ter balls, rabbits, prairie chicken, saddle venison, wild turkey, widgeon, grey duck, can vas back duck, Mallard duck, wood duck, black hear, antelope, black-tail deer, reed birds, meadow larks, rice birds, plover, venison steaks, elk steaks, wild pigeons,/wild goose, brandt, ’ lake duck, Sand Hill crane, moose, red-head duck, teal , duck, shovel-bill duck, cinnamon ; hear, opossum, buffalo, elk. A Tremont. House Game Dinner has but one serious ob jection, and that is that it only lasts one day, and human endurance is exhausted before the threshoUVof such a bill of fare is fairly crossed.

San Fkanoihoo, Nov. 14.—Further particu lars of tlio disaster on the Western Pacific Bailroad this morning have been received. Eleven dead bodies have been recovered from the wrecked ears and have been taken to the dead-house in Oakland. If is estimated that' twenty persons were wounded. The scene of the disaster is described as heartrending, the “ telescoped” ears revealing a sickening scene of crushed humanity. Different statements are given regarding the cause of the disaster.. It is alleged that the .Western Pacific train was alu-ad of tune and-sbouldhave waited at Damon’s Station for the passage of the Alameda train. Another statement attributes tlio fault to the station master at the point where tlio Alameda and Pacific roails connect, who said that the Alameda train was behind time and “he’d he d—d if he’d wait for It,” and went into the liouse for breakfast. While he was in the house a gravel train passed down, and he supposed it was the Western Pacific train. When the We.stern i'aclffc train came up the engineer inquired whether the Alameda train had passed, and the station-master replied, “ All rigid; go ahead.”' The remains of .Judge Baldwin have been removed to the residence of his brother-in-law, Hr. John Benton, in Oakland. From Fortress Monroe. Koiithksh Moniioe, Nov. 15.— The United States Fire Department of this place turned out at ten o’clock this morning fora parade, and presented a very fine'appearance. It consists of a steamer, two hand engines, four hose trucks and a hook and ladder wagon. The steamer is in charge of Mr. William Mc- Mannis, engineer, while the hand engines are looked after by Mr. John Baulcb, an old New York “fire laddie,” and his. son. They are manned by Battery C, Stli IT. 8. Artillery,who are assigned to this duty by the commanding officer. The procession was headed by the band of the Artillery School aud the corps of buglers, and they discoursed some soul-stirring and ear piercing music during the march. The engi neers were attired in red shirts, dark pants and large hats, and carried with theill the in evitable horn: while the soldiers were dressed in regulation pants and cajw, white shirt* and gloves. It Is a well organized and well drilled lire department, each man knows his place, and when the alarm of tire is sounded they roan the engines with the same alacrity and precision they do a heavy siege gun, and a fire makes but little headway here before it is effectually squelch ed. - The yaeht Palmer, from New York, is here with a party of gentlemen on a fishing and hunting excursion. She is un at Jamestown Island to-day, hut will go to Cobb's Island to morrow, should tho weather be favorable,and remain a couple of weeks. Weather Be port. November 16—9 A. H. Wind. Weather. Thor.

(From thuTorontoGlobe of Nov. 12. J During the summer jttst closed good work appears to haw been done by the geological survey in the Lake Superior region. Profes sor Bell's party have all returned to their winter quarters, after having experienced many of the hardships and privations inci dent to the lile of the first explorers in the distant wilderness. We understand that tho results of the expedition include a complete topographical and geological survey of Lake Nipigon and an exploration of much of the surrounding country. This lake, it ap pears, will rank in point of size with the other great lakes of the St. Lawrence, forming tho sixth and last in the chain. Professor Bell has not yet been able to map the whole of ids extensivo survey, hut thinks the area of Lake Nipigon will be found to exceed that of Lake Ontario, or even Lake Erie—some 600 miles or more of coast line having been traversed. This great lake is drained, by the Nipigon Kiver, or upward continu ation of the St, Lawrence beyond Lake Snperior, which is described as a very large clear-wator stream, about thirty miles in length. Upward of a dozen rivers of con siderable size are reported to empty Into Lake Nipigon from all sides. We understand that one of tho most singular features in the geography of .this beautiful lake, Is the im mense quantity of islands which are Scattered throughout its whole'extent and presenting a great variety in size, form and elevation. It appears that geological discoveries of a highly interesting and . important nature have been made, and that, contrary to common belief, a large extent of level land with deep and fertile soil exists in the Nipigon oountry. Professor Bell had received instructions, in addition to his geological explorations, to ob tain as much information as possible in regard to a route to our great Western territory, and Ids discoveries in this direction are, perhaps, not tho least Important of the results of the ex pedition. Ifwe are not mistaken he has found thatthis country, so far from being a diflicult one, offers great facilities for (rail way construction. Further, he has, we believe, ascertained that the elevation of Lake Nipigon above Lake Supe rior is very moderate, and consequently this lake may be found useful for the purpose of navigation in -the desired direction. It will, of course, require considerable time to elabo rate for publication all the geological data ob tained upon this survey, but it is to be hoped that a special report on the engineering capa bilities of the country will be obtained as soon as possible, sincafcit is so desirable to have all the information available before finally adopt ing any route. An Appeal to the Blacks and Coolies to Strike lor Freedom—The Alfonsist Casino. Havana, Nov.fi.—ln Havana and through out the whole islandthere has been scattered the following artful appeal to the blaclcs, wherein they are Invited to revolt and incen diarism, but are enjoined to spare the pro perty of those }vbo treat them wull: The negroes are as good as the wliitcs. The whites are not.the slaves of, nor do thpv work for, the blacks. Tlio Cubans desire that the negroes should be free. Tho Spaniards wish that the negroes should continue tube slaves;. The Cubans are battling agaihsttlie Spaniards. The negroes who have any sense of shame should go offtand fight side'by side with tho ' Cubans. The Spaniards desire to kill the Cu bans in order to prevont tho negroes from ever becoming free. The negroes are not fools: they have great courage, and they, .will fight with the Cubans. When the Cubans are at ahypolnt fighting or skirmishing, then let tho negroes go , there to assist them. Should tho Cubans be afar off, tho negrossshould hasten to overtake them, hut first they should burn the estates. , .Ifon any estate there should be no slaves, hut. on tho contrary, the-negroes are paid for. their labor, that is to be considered a good es tablishment, because it gives free support to tho poor and needy. : < If on any estate the negroes should have’ nothing, more than *dry India (tasagois re ferred to) to eat, ail there money the made by the master is used to help the Spaniards., , Should the estates be not burned, the crop will be gathered, the money for which it may ho sold will fall into tho hands of the Spaniards; -With it many soldiers can be gathered together and sent Out to tho Island, with many guns and cannon, by which, the Cubans may he slain, and the negroes will In such event forever remain slaves. The time for battle has arrived. It is bettor to be by the side of tho Cubans, to the end that all men here, both white and black, may be made free, who are now working and toil ing as slaves.

Another Spanish Casino lias been instituted, tills time Isaheliist and Alfonsist, with the programme of “justice, economy and pro gress.” Dr. Baxeres used the unlucky ex pression that “Spain must contede autouomy to Cuba, as nothing less will do,” and came very near being lynched for it. At the suggestion of some of his friends, who told him his life was in danger, he lias written a note to the liiarlo, in which lie endeavors to destroy the force of his words. The - Doctor’s speech seems to have murdered the Casino, which was to have been a kind of high Court, with power to carry out its will atthe point of the bayonet. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The New Vork Money market. [From the Herald of to-day.] Sunday, Nov. 14.—The week was an extremely dull one In Wall street, and the volume of, business at tho Stock Exchange far below the average. A calculation pf the sales of stocks for the expired oortion of the year shows a decrease of Over seven million shares as com pared with tho corresponding period in 1868. The de crease during tho past six weeks is proportionately much larger, the transactions In the earlier portion of 1859 go ing to reduce the general average. It fs not very difficult to trace the reason of this decline. The culmination of the greatrtmll speculation of last summer in the panic of September ruined thousands of Operators and so in timidated others that the few ventures which have sinco been made were on auioro limited scale. Those who wero in. tho habit of moving five hundred or a thousand shares nave contonted themselves with n line of one or two hundred, while the magnates of operations have loft tho market severely alone.’ Tho great capitalists who were in the lists last winter and spring have aban (lchcd the field to the smaller speculators and . to thosp THE DAiLY:EVIfiKIING y,JW ; bY3BJIi![I6, 3869. k £x«hange Sales.

What little life was left in tho mar ket after tho panic of September was .communicate by the pending divldende on New ■yorkJCentral and Hudson River. Now that the consolidation of those roads baa taken place the< market settled into chronic dullness. It la hardly probublo, however, that tho cliques will long suffer Rio remain wi. Their armor Is becoming rusty lor want of exorcise, ann a speculator Is never happy except when hd Is operating; Toward the close oiltn<vweek there were signs—hardly percept ible, it Is true, to the casual observer, hut Biguificant to the habitue of Wall "Street—that something la slum bering beneath all this quiet and The ♦♦point” was given, Motto rtnr«,to look outforaweclme. that the •‘noara” were . organizing and would , soon‘‘slam”tfie market. These contldontlal whisperer are. however, regarded with distrust, for it is’only human nature thnt an experienced strategist snoaM keep his nlanH to himself. Perhaps, as has often been the case inWall streets the truthlfl told that it may bo disbelieved,and the cliqaea really finean what they say., tfnder such circumstances those who make a profession of dealing In stocks should interpret the general situation ond ascertain . what there is there in, and so discover wmR the futuro ,con tains. The prevailing 'temper of the street is decidedly bearish, bat the ease in the local money mar ket has enabled holders of stocks to withstand what few attacks have been made npon the “Bhorts.” The dis tress in the mercantile community for discounts has been one means employed by the “bears” to assail the other side; tint as wall street stocks end dry goods atockenro very different commeditfeft the result has not been as gratifying as wished. It baa been .frequently, shown that the relations of the speculative and lo?itimat<rbnei ness intercuts of the coumry are not ao Intimate as no cesKOrily to Influence each other. Tho stock panic of 1864 wftß not followed by a mercantile revulsion. Tho only bonnes liable to loss by the present stringency in discounts aro those who have been connected with stock speculations, and of such it is to be feared there are too many instances. One great cause of the mercantile dis tress IH tho falling price of gold. Many houses are con tent to get through tho year without a logs. Tbo declin ing tendency of gold suggests a curious imiuiry. If as gold 'goes down and such securities as government bonds r which pay gold interest, go .down with it, why should not investments which pay cur rency Interest enhance as the value of tho currency goea up ? Something of this la reflected in the prices of gov ernment bonds. The tff’s, which were 123 a few mouths since* are now iy. The enrronoy bond*, however, have maintained themselves throughout tho decline of gold in the vicinity of 108. A consideration of this fact runy enlighten the present situation und discover tho real phi ns of tho cluiuch. It Is very certain that the old policy which directed the clique operations in stock* has been entirely subverted by tho curious complica tion in the grain market. Heretofore it was customary for the cliques to buy at the advent of the fall and run up prices as the railway receipts of the West increased with tho movement of the crops; The public, tempted by the flattering showing of railway earning*, came in ond bought at tho advance. Tho cliques'unloaded, went short and then tightened money, which they were the better able to do owing to the ship--- incuts of currency to tho West. The stringency in money offset tho fact of large earnings, and stocks came down with a rush. Now, however,the cliques arc at their wits’ cuds. The grain movement tins been only spasmodic and is now at a standstill. Homohowor othor the railway earnings maintain a fair average. The growth of rail way business in this country i* such that it is notdifn cult to keep up the receipts, although the crops are not moving. Tho money market is easy, and the abundance of funds in New York at present precludes art ificial in fluences. Here* is the puzzle which meets the cliques. Th<- popular movement is uot active. The cliques do not care which way the public co. so that they do something; But the public are apathetic. The stock market is dull. The cliqifcs arc without material. New York Stock Harket.

C ENTE A L RAILROAD OF lOWA. SEVEN PER CENT. GOLD FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, Free of Government Tax, At 96 and Accrued Interest. This road runs through the richest and most thickly settled 1 portion of this magnificent State, and is the only link wanting to connect St. Louis and St. Paul by a direct'line, 147 miles shorter than any other. It runs through the great coal fields of Southern lowa to the North where coal is in dispensable and must be carried. It runs from, the great lumber regions of the North, through a district 1 of country Which is destitute of this prime necessity. It does not run through, a wilderness, where it would wait for years for a population to give it business, but through a tier of comi ties which aro, now producing about twenty million bushels of grain, most of which is freight for railroads. , Forty-five miles aro just finished, and the Superintendent reports that on the portion open - for business the net earnings are more than the interest liabilities. ■ Sixty miles more are graded, and a million and a half of dollars have already been ex pended on the work. The mortgage is made to the Farmers' Loan and Trust Go., and bonds can be issued only at the rate of 815,000 per only half the amount upon some other roads, Special se curity is provided for the principal aud for the payment of interest. First mortgages upon most railroads are the very safest investments, and so far as wo can learn, there is not a single completed lihe in the Northwest .which is- not only paying its 'interest; but a good dividend upon its stock. The immense grain and other freights to be carried away, and the domestic supplies to he brought in, insure a profitable business. First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount upon a road running through such a rich and already well-settled part of lowa," cim well be recommendeh as a perfectly safe as well as very profitable investment. At the present rate they pay about ten per cent-, on the investment.
