ifjii fißtfWlll OF PIBII.AOEI.FHIA.
In 1149, when Philadelphia was nearly
‘ sixty years oid, its growth Biad been so slow
' that, the whole number of its houses was only
2,070. Twenty years later, in 1769, they had
’ more than doubled, the exact number being
•♦,474, ami the city was beginning to feel so
large that jn 1770, when
•'Yankee Doodle came to town
To buy a pair of -browsers,
•H o swore bo couldn’t see the town,
There were so many houses.”
What our lievolutionary Yaukee Doodle
would have thought of Philadelphia in 1860,
one hundred years after it boasted its 4,474
houses, it is impossible to sumrise, -The quiet,
compact little Quaker city-lias stretched out its
cords and strengthened its stakes until it now
• hovers nearly the - area of London,
and numbers noteless than 120,000 houses!
In its first sixty years two thousand houses
were erected. In its last sixty years, one hun
dred and sixty thousand houses'have been
bniit. Wliat this enormous growth represents
in mere numbers, is easily counted ; but what
it means in population, in social improvement,
in commercial energy, in advance in the arts
• and sciences,’in. political, influence, is not so
easily estimated or expressed.
Philadelphia, still leavened with the once
• controlling element of Quakerism, has uii
doubtedly been slow - and timid in asserting
her own importance, and in filling bet lull
. place as the largest city on this Continent. An
intense conservatism lias combined with a nar
row clannishness to' retard the growth of
civic force in proportion to the growth
cf civic dimensions. The, war, as one
of its incidental consequences, broke up much
of this old, timid, suspicious provincialism, by
bringing into, active play a thitherto latent but
very intense feeling of loyalty among our peo
ple,under the influence of which there was a
very, general fe-adjustmeut of many social re
lations, as well as a practical demonstration of
the power and importance of Philadelphia in
its relation to the whole country.
Philadelphia’s 120,000 houses mean a groat
deal more than a mere huge aggregation of brick
and mortar spread out over a wide area of ter
ritory. They mean increase of vital strength
. in all that goes to make a great, prosperous
and happy community. Flippant newspaper
correspondents occasionally indulge in stu
pid,—or witty, as the case may be,—
effusions at the expense of Philadelphia,
Philadelphia is too apt to be morbidly*sen
sitive over such divisions, and to resent it by
- equally foolish misrepresentations of Boston,
-dr New-York, or Chicago. Side by side with
• this sensitiveness is a still more censurable dis
i position on the part of many of our own peo
ple, especially prevalent among women, to in
dulge, both practically and theoretically, in a
notion of. .Philadelphia's inferiority to other
places, which has no foundation in fact. ,
As is generally the case, the tmo path lies be
tween these two extremes. Philadelphia, is
the largest city in. America,, but it is not
yet the greatest. Our aim should he at a
constant and rapid growth, in posi
tive force as well as size. Every exhibition of
public spirit, whether by individuals or associa
tions, should be encouraged and upheld. Every
: enterprise that tends to bring trade or influ
ence or popularity to Philadelphia should be
preferred, sustained.and appreciated. Wherever
we have gained eminence, fresh starting-points
should be established for greater achievements.
There should be no standing still, no. satisfac
.tkm with present results. Instead of fretting
about the ignorant or jealous criticisms of out
neighbors, we should crush them out oi the
way by S hold-fronted and ever-accelerated ad
vance. Philadelphia is a metropolis in many
.respects; but we should make it more and
.more .metropolitan. Whatever greatness,
whatever growth, whatever importance have
been gained, should be used as so many
levers lo raise Philadelphia to more greatness,
growth-and importance. The people who are
satisfied with everything in Philadelphia are as
bad as those who are satisiied with nothing
in it.
Then, on,the other hand, there is needed a
great correction of the opposite tendency to
which we have already alluded: the disposition
to underrate and decry their own city by a
very large class who serve no end in the social
-.and‘business economy of Philadelphia but to
clog advance, discourage enterprise, retard
growth,-and to promote all those elements of
prosperity .everywherfe but in their own home.
•“Can any good thing come out of Na
aareth?” ds - the ceaseless whine of
this class of moat unprofitable men and
women. And although the sufficient answer
is the same as of old, “Come and see,” they
are so thoroughly cowed or dazzled by the
pomp of Kew York, or the pretence of Boston,
or the push of Chicago, out of winch the real
greatness of those cities lias been created, that
they are almost ashamed to own themselves
Philadelphians, much...leas.to imagine that they
have anything to boast of as such. '
And yet Philadelphia has achieved enough
to constitute some little ground fof civic pride.
We have the largest city in America, and our
120,000 bouses contain a higher average of do
mestic comfort and consequent happiness than
can be found elsewhere oh the face of the
globe., We have the greatest concentration of
manufactures in America, the extent, impor
tance and high standard of excellence of which
are very, little understood. We have the most
diversified* and best-managed institutions of
charity and benevolence in America, supplying
the demands of human want and suffering in
almost every conceivable form. Coming down
to special points of superiority, Philadelphia has
; the largest andbest railroad (excepting,of course,
tl» Pacific road); the laigeßt and most beautiful
Park; the largest and best contrived opera
house; the largest and finest College; the
hugest and finest market-houses; the largest
' publishing hpusc; and the largest number of
beautiful women in America. If the noble
aumy of croakers canpot find enough to change
vo* „ v ,
their lugubrious depreciations of Philadelphia
even in what lias already been achieved, we
ti list that they may soon die out by the. effect
of tlieir morbid humiliation, or else live long
enough to be yet convinced by her future
achievements that, in spite of them, Philadel
phia is a great city, of which tlie most ambi
tious and exacting of her. people maybe justly
proud.
ANOTHER ANNEX ATION PROJECT-
From San Francisco we loam that Vincent
Collier has arrived in California with a petition
from certain inhabitants of British Columbia,
entreating President Grant to secure the an-,
negation Of that territory to the United States.
As this memorial Ls signed by but forty citizens
of the town of Victoria, it can hardly be ac
cepted as an authorized expression of the
opinion of the people of the entire province.
But we have very little doubt that a large mar
jority of these would favor annexation, if such
a thing were possible. Recently Earl Gran
ville addressed a note to the authorities of
British Columbia, advising them to join the
fortunes of their people to those of the Can
adians. But is not likely that such a project
would recommend itself to the Columbians.
Their position upon the Pacific
coast brings them more into contact with
Americans ; it is upon our people they must
rely for consumption of their products, and for
an active trade ; and, more than this, constant
intercourse with citizens of the United States
lias given them a certain sympathetic admira
tion for our institutions. Annexation to the
United States will give them greatness itnd
prosperity ; absorption with the Canadian Do
minion will check their growth, by stopping the
tide of emigration, and% continuing the dis
advantageous restrictions under which
they labor at present in conduct-
ing trade with this country. But,
while we may sincerely desire to extend to
the British Columbians the advantages of citi
zenship, and to enlarge our possessions by the
annexation of territory which will give ns con
trol of the--'Pacific coast from the Gulf of , Cali
fornia to the Arctic ocean, we do not perceive
in what manner President Grant—to whom
is petition is addressed—can help the matter
lie might, perhaps, recommend to Congress
the purchase of the province; but there are
two insuperable' objections to this: first, we
have no money to spare even for so good an
object; second it is very certain that Great
Britain would not sell the territory, if we
were to make an oiler for it, cash in hand.
■lf the. Columbians do not choose to join the
Dominion, they will be compelled' to re
main in their present isolated position, as a
helpless dependency" of Great Britain-
That country has always been jealous of onr
superior influence upon the Pacific coast, and
she would he certain to use eveiy endeavor to
prevent the consummation of a project which
would exclude her entirely from that coast,
and blot out the boundary line which was once
the subject of bitter disptute. The only
method left to the unhappy Columbians is revo
lution. If they will declare their independence
and secure it, we will be glad tp receive them.
Until the arrival of that veiy distant period,
it will he a waste of labor to appeal to the
United States. If Mr. Collier will visit England
and implore Mr. Gladstone and Parliament, he
will at least be more nearly in the true path to
success, however improbable a satisfactory re
sult may be.
DOMINION t'KOIIBLIiS.
Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are electing
anti-confederation candidates for office. An
nexation parties exist in the provinces of Que
bec and Ontario, and British Columbia is
praying for annexation to the United States.
But worse than all these troubles of the Do
minion of Canada and of British'authority in
America is the open rebellion that exists in the
Red River territory, bordering on Dakotah.
Mr. McDougall, who was sent out by the
Dominion government as Governor of the
Territory, has been confronted by an armed
iree and compelled to take refuge in Da-
It appears that most pf the white inhabitants
of the Red River territory are of French race.
They have acquired a good many of the notions
as to government of their American neighbors.
They do not like to have their laws made for
them at Ottawa, and they demand, before in
covporation into the Dominion, guaranties of
certain rights as follows: 1. The right to elect
their own Legislature. 2. The Legislature to
have the power to pass all laws of a local na
ture, by a two thirds vote, over the veto of the
Executive. 3. A free homestead and pre-emp
tion law similar to that of the United (States.
4. A portion of the public land to be donated
for the support of sclioolstiiid the construction
of l oads and bridges. 0. Treaties with the
I several tribes of Indians calculated 'tp secure
peace and quiet on the frontier.
These demands, it will be seen, are for just
such a government as the settlers in our terri
tories are in the habit of obtaining from the
government at Washington. Governor Mc-
Dougall has no authority to promise that such
[-demands will he complied with. Fie is, in fact,
without any authority,' as he has not yet been
swofn into office, having intended toe go
tluough that, ceiemony on reaching the terri
tory. He has, of course, reported his.
expulsion to tire Dominion authorities,
and troops are expected to be sent
to his assistance. In the present
temper of the inhabitants, this is likely to
make matters still worse, and there are appre
hensions of bloodshed. The “insurgents,” as
they are called, were, five hundred strong some
days ago, and their numbers must be increas
ing. The Dominion cannot spare, from Its
small British garrisons, troops enough to put
down such a body of meii, and if tile militia
should he called out to coerce the Red river
men, there would bexdanger of disaffection in
the old provinces. The authorities at Ottawa
evidently have their hands full of veiy difficult
woik all over the Dominion.
A worn* FOtt THE BIANAOEItS.
After all, there is something to ho said in be
half of the theatrical managers who give up.
their stages to the presentation of sensational
trash. For some entirely unaccountable reason
it appears that the publicwill not support legiti
mate drama of certain kinds with remu
nerative liberality. Mr. Forrest will attract
immense audiences; so will Mr. Booth;
but neither of them is more successful in this
respect than Lotta or Lydia Thompson ; ,whil«
such men as y'li. L. Davenport or John
Brougham, both of wlioih are almost unrivaled
in certain lines of business, play, night after
night, to empty benches. Managers cannot'
have Mr. Forrest constantly, and if such a tiling
were possible, he would not be as profitable as
I might be supposed, for he exacts half the groa
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIK-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1869.
l •• ", , 1
receipts for each perforr/iauce. As managers'
exist and transact Jbusifteas rather for the pur- ■
pose of making rnoaey than to minister to the.
intcUcctnaltafites •of the aesthetic few, it 1 can
not be. regarded as absolute evidence of de
pravity if, instead of presenting standard plays
to small audiences, they , prefer to engage
Lotta and Lydia Thopipsorttoflll their trea
suries, and ill the interval offer to the public
spectacular nonsense, which disgusts intellec
tual people, hut fills the theatres with gaping
crowds Who care more for a smart bit of car
penter’s work or a scene-painter’s daub than
for well drawn characters and Witty dialogue,
lire. .Drew, for instance;,has a first-rate
company, and she would, we know,
greatly prefer to present the higher class,
of plays in an artistic manner.; But she as
serts, we hear, that she cannot produce stand
ard comedies, new plays of substantial merit,
or even Shakespeare, for a longer period than,
a fortnight with profit. Cash-being her chief
consideration, ahd properly so, she caters to
the degraded popular appetite with such pieces
as Lost at Sea . Mss Keene lias gone through
the same experience. She has offered to the
public a series of performances of the very
highest character—performances of which she
has a right to be proud. Her efforts have been
received with comparative coldness, and her
success has not been what it should have been
by any means. We cannot blame her, either,
that she has ibrsaken the higher path, and
turned into the crooked ways of. sensational
ism. Elegant performances do not pay if the
benches are empty; and however much her
cravings for high art may lie satisfied by them,
the pockets of her actors have stronger cravings
which will not be so easily appeased.
Of course these considerations do not relieve
an honest journal from its obligation to speak
.the exact truth of sensational and trashy
dramas when they ’are presented. A critic
cannot test a play, or a performance of. it, by
the size of the audience. If they are poor, he
must say so, even if the spectators indulge in
frenzied applause. The standard must not be
■ lowered whatever the practice is. Mr. Daven
port and Mr. Brougham are good, whether
people go to see them or not ; Sheridan’s and
Goldsmith’s comedies are entertaining, no mat
ter whether they attract or repel; and Shakes
peare’s reputation is rather beyond the ap
proval or condemnation of any given succes
sion of audiences. If the people want non
sense and will have nothing else, it is reason
able that managers should choose to yield to
their demands rather than stick to high art
and go into bankruptcy,' heroic'''sacrifices to
their refined tastes. We may , deplore the
viciousness of the popular appetite, and strive
valiantly to inspire a taste for better things;
but while that appetite exists we can hardly
confine our denunciations to the managers
who accept the situation with Christian resig
nation. ’
The fine weather of yesterday made Thanks
giving a real and a general holiday in Philadel
phia. The churches were all open and well
attended, in the morning. The streets were
thronged with happydooking people in the
latter part of the day. The military parade
was remarkably fine aud was much enjoyed by
the countless thousands in the streets. .The
thanksgiving festivals in public institutions and
private families were abundant. The places
Of amusement were well filled in the evening,
and altogether the Thank-giving of 18(i9 was a
grand success. ,
The Philadelphia Branch of the American
Social Science Association is now formally or
ganized, as wall be seen by reference to our
local columns. The list of members includes
many prominent and influential citizens, and
their number will, .no .doubt, be largely in
creased as the Association becomes better
known.

Ti our (Mflvmtn'tind Corrtsponiltnts :
The surprising development of our national resources
and the rapidity with which the government is now en
ahled to reduce the natiopal debt, by weekly purcbaece,
render it apparent that the time is approaching whon
the Five-Twenty bonds may bo funded at not over four
or four end » half per cent. Interact.
. Meanwhile their high price, as compared with other
ciflßßeß of eecuritica pnylDg ah equal rote of interest, ia
leading to general inquiry for more profitable formo of
investment in v;hieb nio'boy may bo safely Invested.
During the war tho necessities and peril of tlio govern
ment, and tho consequent cheapness of its securities,
rendered them so attractive that, from this cause, com
bined with the patriotic raitli of . the people in their
safety, they absorbed almost, the entire floating capital
of the country, and diverted attention from other classes
of securities which had before been deemed stifllciiipUv
conservative and SQUUtI to meet tho wants of. the most
cautious investors. ‘
■Tlio government is no longer a borrower. It no longer
needs tlio country’s capital, but do'ires gratefully nml
honorably to repay it.
The rapid hccumulatlou of capital for investment, and
tbo reduction of tlio national debt aud Improvement of
the national credit-rendering it certain that hereafter
|fet a comparatively low rate of Inter out can be derived
from investment In government bonds Is compelling
the search fur other safe aud well-guarded channels into
which capital tint employed in busince* may wisely flow.
The enterprises of Peace, no less noedfnl'in. their time
and plate,for the common welfaro. than wero the waste
and cost of War, now call for tlio capital which the go
vernment no longer needs, and offer fur its use a remu
neration which tlio government need no longer pay - aud
in seme casea, a security as (stable and enduring as the
faith of the nation itself,
The desire to capitalize tho premium which liny now
be realized upon Five-Twenty bonds, and which a ma
terial decline in Gold toward tar, and the ability of tl.e
Government to fund them at a lower rate of interest,may
at any time extinguish, Is felt hy many holders who de
sire some satisfactory assurance as to which of the many
lower-priced securities in the market would afford tho
necessary safety to justify an exchange. -
The applications for information and advice which are
addressed to us daily, shoyv how universal is tho desire
for this assurance, as to whßt forms of investment more
profitable than Government-securities at present market
rates, are entitled tq the confidence of investors.
' Tlio pressure of this wnut has led us to feel the import
ance of directing our own attention as bankers, our
large experience,and our facilities for obtaining p liable
inhumation—to the work of supplying it lu some moa
- sure, and to offer the results of our Inquiries to .those
who may l.e disposed to confide, in our good faith aud
judgment.
We are unwilling to offer to onr fi binda and the nubile
. anything which according to our best jndgment is not as
secure os the notional obligations themselves, with
which wo have hitherto principally Identified ourselves.
Since closing the GREAT CENTRAL PACIFIC
RAILROAD LOAN, which meets all these require
ments, we have carefully examined many others, hut
have found no other which wonld fully do so, until tb"

prove successful. Dfy before yesterday he
was arraigned before Judge Huaub, charged

ceeded to a second-hand store and bought a
revolver. Rushing home, lie armed himself
with a hatchet, broke.up all the furniture in
one Of the rooms, and threatened to kill any
one who should dare to approach him. His
wife made an attempt to stop him, hut as she
did so, he placet! the pistol at his head, dis
charged the load into it, and fell to the floor.
His wife rushed over to the station-house ami
notified the policemen there, who removed

the Cincinnati Hospital, where he is now
lying in a very precarious condition.

' It is a noteworthy feature of the tunes-that the his
tory of WalHireet has seldom shown «o carious u con*
ditionjtfthc money market as to th*re presented just
now.''We aro new, in the middle of November, In the
-.height.of what heretofore has been the most active
ami most stringent season. Tuking the near
est illustration, th« same season in toft, money
on call was worth all sorts, of extravagant
rates,, while the banks wore bo impoverished that
they exhibited button million? above the legal reserve,
when their liabilities were in the vicinity-of two hun*
drrd millions of dollars. We have had, of coarse, a re
currence of thwo nigh rate** since. Iw the week or two
succeeding the Bept« mber panic there wan cren creator
aggravation to borrowers; but the reason this tuwi
was not the scarcity of fnmto bo much as the
fears of lender,?, many of whom, rather than riwtc
their money at such a time, kept it unemployed.
Tho panic, however, has gone by, and much of its worat
features have been buried in that nhllvioif to which Wall
street f'oou consigns everything. Tho time Jmconm
around again fur’activo money. Tbe lenders who hat a
been w'ahin:; all summer and toll for an eighth and
quarter per repf. pur day have been grievously disap
pointed, Hix w«N'gs of tho active teason have gone by,
and it to impospible to obtaia more than the legal rat** of
hitere«t. The fact to, active money has been-discounted.
Wall street always dtecrmnU events long beforehand.
The capimlistH who formerly were cortent to employ
their money In various enferpriws—huiMing contracts,
bonds and mortgage? aiid tlio lik'.-—liavo been tempted
by the prospect ofcaruing big rates ol intcreat without
any trouble or vexation, vicuply by lending It at a wide
margin on collaterals. Hundreds’ have done this thing,
and the consequence totto* speculators of Wall street
have at their dtopotal every uayliuillious of idle capital.
The lenders still hang on, waiting lor something to
turn up. It to too late novy todrwW out tlieir jni*ney and
co hack to thoir old w'urlf. Wnt»*riH at baud, and w ith
it a check to operations, none.* it to tkut the move
ments in Wall strict to war* I fictivity areoniy *pasmo-iie.
One day in a t7«s?k the “bears” create a little ac tivity,
but ibr-m It on.l«- A«.jnoucv rises in thn interest.rate
there is a .filoraer of it ready h* Ik-* lent. The bulks
now hold over twmty-thrap millions in cxc**>-h of the
legal reserve; the demand from the evr-n if the
crop movement .should- take it btoady and decided
character, cannot require but a limited amount, as
the valuation of the crops to generally r.duetd by
the decline in gedd; tin* purchase by the gov< , -rnra <, nt

that the fontbem iherdmuts are bugiuning to ship

grown quite rich, ami can hfindlu a large proportion of
lb** crap without m:r n*<>istaiico. Tho indications arc.
therefore, that the will miss thidr usual p*-
emiiary festival this winter. It is certain that artificial
influences only can render tile money market stringent.

BA 11. ROAD ACCIDENT.
A Freight Train Collides with tbePull
man Fast Train—Escape ol’the Passen
gers.
[From the Cheyenne (Wyoming) Argne, Nor. 13.1
A railroad accident occurred near this city
at about 6 o’clock yesterday morning, which
might have been attended with serious loss of
life hut for the presence of mind of the engi
neers and the superior strength of the Pull-'
man care. A freight tram was started
out from this city, going eastward.
It is alleged, that tlie conductor started
onts. on his own responsibility, contraiy
to orders and instructions. His train met the
Pullman lightning express at a point about
two miles cast of this city. It being down
grade the freight could not stop. The engineer
of the Pullman train showed great judgment
and presence of mind by staying at his post
and reversing the action of his engine. There
sult of the collision was tho "almost total de
struction of the freight train.lts locomotive was
nearly ruined and the ears fearfully broken lip,
the wreck strewing the track for rods. The
damage to the passenger train was very slight.
'Tlie drawheads of two cars were broken and
the pilotof the engine destroyed. Strange to
say, no person was injured on either train.
The Pullman train was detained about three
hours, until the track could be cleared and
some slight injuries repaired. A large party
of men was immediately despatched from this
city to the scene of the accident, and speedily
cleared atv.-iy the debris of the wrecked cars,so
as to permit the passage of the Pullman train.
The conductor of the freight is blamed for his
unwarrantable conduct in starting out his train
upon his own responsibility. AVe are informed
this is the second accident which has oc
curred to his train within the past two weeks.
The result of this accident proves the staunch
ness of the Pullman palace car. How the
fast train conld withstand the shock of meet
ing a heavy freight train, on a down grade,
without sustaining more damage, is a question
hard to solve, and the fact can only be ac
counted for on the presumption that the
superior strength, and workmanship of the
palace train saved it from total destruction,
and preserved its passengers from a sudden
and terrible death.
SPECIE PAYMENTS.
The Administration—lmportant Tetters.
The Hon. E. G. Spaulding, generally re
garded as the author of the Legal Tender Act,
and lately before the public its the author of a
. very-valuable financial liistory of the war,: has
just furnished the Buffalo Comma-cial'Adver
tiser, for publication, the following three pri
vate letters, one of which, at least, ihay be re
garded as probably foreshadowing the policy
of the Administration in urging a speedy re
turn to specie payments:
FROM ATTORNEY-GENERAL lIOARi
Washington, October 15,186!). — Hon. IC. G.
Spdtihliruj: My Dear Sir : I have the 1 honor
to the receipt’of your letter of,
the 6tli inst., and with it a copy of your Finan
cial History of the War, for which I desire to
return my thanks. f
' The constant pressure upon my timo has
prevented me from giving the book more than
a cursory inspection,but it seems to be a valu
able contribution to our financial history, aud
throws considerable light upon the important
question of a return to specie payments. I am
oneofthose who believe that it was the in
terest as well sis the duty of the nation to re
turn at once to the true and solid standard of'
value as soon as active hostilities ceased; that
we should have treated the currencij as we dia our
armies —regarding the volunteers and„ the
greenbacks alike as necessities of war, to be
dispensed with as fast as possible on the re
turn_of peace. I think we made a great mis
take in not doing so ; that the shortest method
was the safest and best; that the only way to
reach the object is Jby a steady and persisteut
contraction ot tlie currency—a painlul process
whenever it comes, no doubt, but harder aud
worse for us the longer it is delayed.
I'hopethat Congress will address itself with
courage* and constancy to the solution of tho
problem as soon as it meets; aud will feel as
sured that the American people have intelli
gence enough to support those who do - it. .My
views on tho subject are of little importance
to anybody, but as an American citizen, I
should be sorry aud ashamed to find my coun
try unable ana unwilling, in a timo of peace
and prosperity, ta provide for its over-due paper.
Very respectfully, E. It. Ho.ut.
FROM HORACE MAYNARD, OF TENN.
- Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 3,180!).— H0n. E. G.
Spaulding— Dear Sir : Thanks for tho-tiook,
as well as the copy sent me. It is well-timed
and much needed. So successful were the
financial arrangements during- the war, that
peopieTnclihe' to' regard aA liiitomatip,
self-accomplished, with no special credit to
anybody. , * * * _ * *
As a result, we now have the best currency
ever known in the nation. Lei it now be made
convertible into com at the pleasure of the holder,
end nothing would beltft to be discussed. Why
{his has not been done, why it is not done,why
it shouldnot he dono, I confess, after all!
have read and heard, lam not able to see.
One of these days some, bold man will take
this step, and then everybody will wonder
why it had not -been taken years before.
Would that you Were again at your old place
in the Hon Se. I am, very truly yours,
. , Hokace M aynard.
• ! : FROM CHARLES SUMNER. ,
Boston, Aug.-aV IHti!).— My Hear Sir: You
have done aigqotlrßervice in preparing your
book; nor is .there anybody to whom this duty
belonged more than yourself. * * *.;•/ ain
not content withthe long postponement of specie pay
ments. I believe that tho time has come for
this -blessings and I begin to_ be impatient
when J seqhow. easily people liqd excuses for
not accepting it: - Believe me, dear sir, very
faithfully yours, ChaklesSumnbu.

This road inns through the richest and most
thickly 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 of country which is
destitute of tlfls prime necessity. 1
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 coun
ties which are now producing about twenty
million bushels of grain, most of which is
freight for railroads. , '
Forty-five miles are_ just finished, and the
Superintendent reports that-on the portion
open for business the net earnings are more
than tho interest liabilities, ■
Sixty miles more are graded, and a million
and a half of dollars have already been ex
pended on tlie work. '', ’
The mortgage is made, to the Farmers’ Loan
and Trust Co., and bonds can he issued oniy
at the rate of $16,000 per mile, or only half tha
amount upon some other roads: Special se
curity is provided for the principal and for tho
payment of interest. , : ,
First mortgages upon most rail roads are the
very safest investments, and so far as we can
learn; there is not a single completed line in
the Northwest which is not only paying its
interest, hut a good dividend upon its' stock.
The immense grain and other freights to bo
carried away, and the domestic supplies to be
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, can
well he recommended as a perfectly safe as
well as very profitable investment. At tha
present rate they pay about ten per cent, on
the investment. .Over $400,000 have already
been taken by the Company’s officers and
others interested in the enterprise. Pamphlets,
