It is over ten years since* old John Brown
«f Osawatamic, with a following of twenty-one
■aen, wbites and'blacks, made liis mad attempt
Ig excite insurrection in the United plates and
create a government for the abolition of slavery
<in the night of .October IC, 1859, he seized
.Harper’s iFerry. On the following night, a
force ofeue lnmdred United States marines,
with two. pieces of artillery, commanded by
Col. Robert E. Lee—afterwards General-in
rfjfef ofthe rebel army—compelled him to snr
aendor, all bleeding and hacked with bayonets.
On the 31st-of October, 1859, Brown was con-
Victod of treason, conspiracy and murder, and
*n the 2d of December following he was
banged at, Charlestown, Va., anald a pompous
show of 'Virginia militia - called out by the
rcdontable Governor Henry A. Wise. Thurs
day next will be the tenth anniversary of the
•death of the brave; misguided Cfld martyr.
Nothing was gained by Virginia, or the
_Sont.fi, or the cause of human slavery, by the
■hanging of John Brown. It was one of the
.mapy mistakes that the Southern politicians
:made, In their efforts to resist the march of
■civilization. Brown might have been puiiished
■by imprisonment, or he might have been mag
nanimously pardoned, and, in either case, pub-
Xe opinion would have been Influenced favor
ably towards the. South. „ But Virginia and the
whole South were thrown into suet a panic by the
-orazy undertaking of Brown and his little party,
.that nothing would satisfy them but his blood.
The petty affair, which could have been put
■down by a squad of experienced polieemen,was
ribagnified and even glorified by the consterna
tion it created, and by the tragic termination
that was given to it by the melodramatic poli
ticians of Virginia, The little tragi-coincdy of
(Harper's Ferry and Charlestown was made the
.prelude or prologue of the tremendous political
•'and military tragedy of the Southern Rebellion.
The common name, John Brown, became ex
ited as if it were the napre of a saint as well
-as of a hero. Through four long years of civil
..strife it was a watch-word and a rallying
•wy for the soldiers of the American
Republic. In public meetings, in parades, in
• tamps, in bivouacs, and in advances to bloody
battles, the idea that tire soul of John Brown
-was “marching on,” while his body was
-“mouldering in the ground,” was a real source
•wf inspiration, especially with the common
-soldiers. The history of that strange eliaiit of
the Union troops ought to be written, if there
is any one that know s it. The .quaint old ne
gro melody, with its refrain of “Glory Hallelu
jah !” is familiar enough. But how, or when,
Or by whom, it was applied to the fate of John
• Brown, and made into. a.hymn that was
■ the real battle hymn of the Republic, in its
years of terrible trial, is not known, and
.probably never will be known. Still, every
sire . -feels that, in some providential
though indescribable way, John Brown, who
was hung in Virginia in 1859, was am actor in
ill the scenes of civil strife, between 1800 and
1£65, and that his sold was marching on and
guiding the nation to the triumph it achieved
■ever the rebellion and slavery. , Robert E. Lee,
■who captured him, and Henry A. -Wise, who
hupg him, must have, had visions of the old
tman in many of the scenes through which
they passed in the four years of bloody robel
fiou.
As a typical, representative abolitionist, John
Brown of Osawatomie was very much in ad
vance of most of those who avowed themselves
.abolitionists when such avowal was considered
•either fanatical or treasonable. ,lle was willing
to risk his life for the cause, and when
rtbat life was demanded, he gave it up
with.,a., manly dignity that was worthy
«1‘ . a , martyr in the holiest cause.
If he had livpd and, been liberated, tlie
(abolition of slavery would probably not, have
been, accomplished as soon as It was. The
first act of rebellion against the authority of
ithe Union took place a little more than a year
liafterhis death. The chaiu of events from
Slarperia,Ferry and Charlestown to Appomatr
-'flwc is.a,will-connected one, and ailfuturc his
“Acry will include the name of John-Brown in
S#e:aoconnts of the great revolution by which
African slavery in America was abolished. The
small .affair at Harper's Ferry was a little
spark, but it kindled a great fire which -swept
all over the Southern States.
hWilAl I'IMSIIJII.M.
The Pennsylvania Peace Society is again
agitating the subject of the abolition of capital
and presenting to the people argu
ments in behalfof such an alteration of cur penal
code. It is nJact, —a melancholy one perhaps
to these ’reformers, —that there is very iitUe
public sympathy 'with the movement, and, in
. 4p\ed, very little, interest felt in it. This is dne
JeniTcely to the existence of a popular belief
tthafr agitation,of -the question at the present
;time is inopportune; and that however desire
He the abolition’ of tks.death penalty may be
in the future, under, a better condition of so
ciety, it would be a hazardous experiment
when .murderers crowd our criminal court in
secession, and.assassination is as com
mon as burglary. Everybody [' will agree
with the reformers that it is a horrible
thing to deprive a human being of life,
under any erreumstanaes; and there will
not be two opinions aqson the question
®f the desirability of depriving society of the
right tOiCommit such an act, M such a reform
can be undertaken with safety. In spite of
Mr,Bov«e, who is the special .champion of the
Society in,this matter, communities of men
’ tmsce a better right to kill a criminal than a
single man.has or than a half dozen men have.'
. Society is nothing more than an aggregation of
individuals assembled for mutual protection
}aw is ancrely the system of rules agreed upon
for purposes .of defence of life aud property,
and all tire weight that it possesses is derived
, firopathiesnpport and approval given to it by
Jadindual persons in a community. If, as Mr.
oO?fts pwl the I’eace people urge, this society
lad no more authority than, a single man, or
.4* jaien, its puiiishineßt pf any pffeuder, even

by imprisonment, would, be an unwarrantable
iiifringment 'of his personal rights.
But large communities of men, not
only have authority to enact and enforce-laws
for the benefit of the whole mass, but such
procedure isso eoniplctely. necessaiy that so
ciety would go to pieces in a day without it.
The wnk the poor, tire honest, tlie defenee-
Icss would become ttw prey of the villains who,
even now, arc hardly restrained from offending.
The robber would destroy the fruits of labor,
the murderer would destroy life j and every
passion and impulse would be witliout
straint; every crime without punishment.
This is so palpably true that it does not re
quite demonstration, If it is true that society
has a right to inflict lesser penalties upon of
fenders against its purely arbitrary code, it is
also true that it lias a right to punish those
who rob its memhers of their sacrod and irre
parable property of life, by depriving the assas
sins of their Jives,if this shall seem to be the most
effective method of deterring other men from
commission of the same crime. The simple
question is: Is capital punishment the surest
prevention of murder? Froyidence has im
planted in the human soul an over-powering
desire for life. The instinct of self-preserva
tion is the strongest that con actuate a human
being. Men who would readily accept the
chances of imprisonment, or of any smaller in
fliction, in order to gratify their thirst for re
venge or their desire for plunder, will hesitate
to commit a deed which places their lives in
jeopardy. And, although even this is not
sufficient, always, to deter them from murder,
we are certain that it offers a stronger barrier
to that horrible crime, than any other kind of
punishment possibly could do. Not one of
die penalties inflicted by the law for
any class of oflences prevents the
constant commission of evil deeds; and
no system oflniman laws that can be devised
will make crime impossible, while human
nature is prone to evil. We might as well
shorten the period of imprisonment for larceny,
in the hope that it would encourage thieves to
engage in honest labor, as tt> abolish capital
punishment with tlio expectation that mur
derers would- immediately cease their bloody
work. It is not so much the fault of the gal
lows that assassination is frequent, as .of the
trickery of the courts, and of the sentimental
sympathy for murderers which is displayed by
some of the “reformers” in the communtty.
The law of self-preservation is at the bottom
of the theory by which society approves of
judicial killing; for, as we have said, it often
Checks the hand of the murderer, and it is the
result of t lie universal conviction—a righteous
conviction, toe—that the lives of honest men
must he made sale at any sacrifice, no matter
iow dreadful it may he.
We have a right to ask of these people who
demand the destruction of the gallows, what
sufficient substitute they have to offer for it?
Imprisonment for life is the only less punish-
ment that could be accepted under any circuit
stances. We might be satisfied with this, if it
were possible to carry such a sentence into ef
fect in every ease, But we are under the im
pression that an examination of tlic records of
our Eastern Penitentiary, for instance, will
show that the number of such sentences which
have been fulfilled can be counted upon one's
fingers. While Governors have an absolute,un
restrained pardoning power, the chance always,
is that the convict will be .again turned loose
upon the community. Suppose Arthur
Spring had been imprisoned upon a life sen
tence ; years have passed by; people have for
gotten the enormity of his crime, and a new
generation has sprung up which knows nothing
and cares nothing about it. Those who did
know of it would rather fee) a sentiment of
sympathy with the sufferer, and multitudes of
them would be ready to demand his pardon of
an Executive who, ignorant or careless of the
character of the crime,, or impelled by pity,
would be too ready to grant it. Paralons are
often given’ too easily now, in the eases of
criminals whose evil deeds arc fresh in the pub
lic mind. -Under such circumstances as those
to which we have alluded they would be
granted with even greater readiness. And the
evil prospect could not be removed by restrain
ing the hand of the Executive in such cases.
To be offective his. power must be un
limited ;ifit is not,the innocent will often suffer
without hqpe of remedy. Until the advocates
of this so-called reform are ready, then, to offer
some reasonable substitute, capital punishment,
must continue to hang over the heads’ of men
who meditate-murder. We are not ready yet
to adopt any smaller infliction as a penalty for
Unit awful crime. Perhaps, under a higher
system of civilization, our eyes may he opened
so that we may perceive the asserted wicked
ness of the present system ; but by the time we
arrive at that stage, we hope murder will bo an
unknown offence. Until we do arrive there,
public opinion will be likely to oppose any at
tempt to mitigate the punishment now inflicted
Upon those who shed innocent blood.
[HE |«£W YOKE JUDICIARY.
The ltepublicans and the respectable Demo
crats of New York State are rejoicing over the
fact that the amendment to the Constitu
tion respecting the Judiciary, which was pro
posed by the late -Constitutional Convention,
has been carried by a majority of about six
thousand. The Tammany Ring did every
thing,possible to defeat the amendment, but
an organization known as the Democratic
Union assisted the Republicans in supporting
it. The respectable members’ of the bar, of
all parties, also supported it. Hence it lias
been carriod, while the Democratic State ticket
has been.elected 'hy large minorities.'. .
The rrew amendment establishes a new
(Court of Appeals, composed of a chief judge
and six associate judges, to he chosen, for a
tennr of fourteen years, by tire electors of the
whole State, on such day between the first
Tuesday in Afiril and the second Tuesday in
June as the Legislature may designate. An
elector can only vote at the first election for
the chief judge and four "associate judges. In
this manner a Court is secured differing in po
litical sentiment, while the principle of a eon--
test in the selection of judges is preserved. As.
vacancies occur, new judges are to he chosen
lor a term of fourteen years ; so that there will
he no election for a full bench of judges after
the first choice. This Court wil'nre permanent
in its character, aud more uniform in its de
cisions than tiro former court,.the members of
which were changed every year. The Court
of Appeals isto liave power to appoint and re
move itAreperter, clerk and attendants.
There** are various provisions, in harmony
with this one,'respecting the other Courts of
the Btate, which we need not specify. The
Legislature is required to. submit the question
whether the Judges of the several courts shall
la: elected t»r appointed, for the. decision of th
people, at the general election of 1873. The;
. Legislature is further given power to determine;
whether thd Judges of criminal courts In cities
’shall be clected, orin what manner appointed ?
This caii he done by the liekt-or subsequent
Legislature. These and other previsions of the
amendment Will jit is believed, eon-bet many of
the abuses that prevail and have given the
clary of New York the reputation of being the
worst and most, corrupt ever. khoWn in this or
’ any other country. ,
When It is remembered, that all the out-:
rageoira Hands and gambling, by fiailroad com
panies and individuals, that have been
carried on of late years in New York, have
had the sanction or permission of one or other
of the conrts, the whole country may well re
joice at the success df . the new amendment,
Fisk, Gould, Vanilerbiit, and thq restof them,
when proceedings were commenced against
them in one court, could go, and did go, to
another court, in the city or in the country,
and obtain a stay of the proceedings. This
course was resorted to sucoessfuliy only yester
day, by Messrs. Fisk ami Gould ; and it may
iri like manner be resorted to mitil new and
honest conrts arc organized.
In the death of Edward Grata, Esq., which
occurred yesterday, Philadelphia has lost one,
of her best and most useful citizens. He wall
a son of the late Simon Grata. His sons, Si
mon Gratz, former Assistant. City Solicitor
and Edward Giatz, Jr-, a prominent merchant,
together with other children, survive and main
tain the honor of the family; Mr. Gratz was
always active in projects for the good of Phila
delphia. Some years ago he offered a splendid
estate north of Girard College, at a Very mode
rate price, for a public park. But the city un
wisely declined to take it, and most of the
property has been sold piece-meal at much
higher rates, and is now nearly allbnllt over.
Hr. Gratz was an earnest and liberal Repub-
lican, and; although quiet and unobtrusive, he
commanded the respect of all who had the good
forttuie to know him. His age was only sixty
four, but liis health has long been declining.

jifos-0 JVaMrtu Stnet* Ntio York ,
November H, 1869.
To out Cuittomers and Corrtsronimtf,
The surprising development of onr national rosooreea
»nd the rapidity with Which tb# government i» now en
abled to reduce the national debt, by woekly purchase*,
render It apparent that the time la approaching when
the Five-Twuhtjr bond* may be' fended at not over four
Or four and a half per cent, interest.
Meanwhile their high price, m compared with other
claeaeeof aocnritlee paying an equal rate of interest, Is
leading to general inquiry for moro, profitable forma of
investment In which money may bo aafely Invested.
During the war the necessities and peril of the govern
ment, and the consequent cheapness of its securities,
rendered them so attractive that, from this cause, com
bined With the patriotic faith of tho people In their
safety, they absorbed almost the entire floating capital
of the country, and diverted attention from other classes
of securities which bad before boon deemed sufficiently
aonseiwative and sound to meet the wants of the most
cautious investors.
The government is no longer aborrower. It no longer
needs the country’s capital, but desires gratefully and
honorably to rypay it,
The rapid accumulation of capital for investment, and
the reduction of the national debt and Improvement of
the national credit— rendering it certain that hereafter
but a comparatively low rate of Interest can bo derived
from investment in government bonds—is compelling
the search for other safe and well-guarded channels Into
Which capita) not employed in business may wisely flow.
The enterprises of Peace, no Josa needful in their time
and place, for the.common welfare, than wero the waste
and cost or War, now call for the capital which the go
vernment no longer needs, and offer Tor its use a remu
neration which the government need no longer pay, and
in some cases, a security ha stable and enduring as the
faith of the nation Itself.
The desire to capitalize the premium which may now
be realized npon Five-Twenty bonds,, and which a ma
terial decline in Gold toward par, and the ability of tho
Government to fund them at a lower rate of interestdnay
lat any time extinguish, is felt by many holders who de
-1 ire some satisfactory assurance as to which of the many
lower-priced securities in the market would afford the
necessary safety to justify an exchange.
The applications for information and advice which are
addressed tens daily, show how nnlversal Is the desire
for this assurance, aa to wbat forms of investment moro
profitable than Government securities at present market
rates, are entitled to tho confidence of Investors.
The pressure of this want has led us to feel the import
ance of directing our own attention as bankers, our
large experiencesind our facilities for obtaining reliable
information—to tho work of supplying it in some mea
sure, and to offer the results of our inquiries to those
who nsay be disposed to confide in our good faith and
judgment.
We are unwilling to offer to ourfrienda and the nubile
any tiling which according to our best judgment is not ns,
secure as the national obligations themselves, with
•which we have hitherto principally identified ourselves.
Since closing the OKEAT CENTRA!, PACIFIC
BAILROAD LOAN, which meets nil these require
ments, we have carefully examined many others, but
have found no other which would fully do so, until the
following was placed in our hands:
FIRST MORTGAGE
SIX PEE CENT. GOLD BONDS
OF THE
WESTERN PACIFIC R. R. CO.
OF CALIFORNIA.
The Western Pacific Railroad connecting Sacramento
with San Francisco, furnishes the final link in the ex
traordinary fact Of an unbroken lino of rail from the
shore of the Atlantic to that of the Pacific. .
It is 160 miles in length, Including a short branch, and
it will be the
METROPOLITAN LINE,
OF THE PACIFIC COAST,
connecting its chief cities, and traversing the garden of
the rich-Hid growing.. State of California, roceivjngi.in.
addition to an Immense and lucrative local traffic, the
through business over the Union and Central Pacific
Railroads—between tho Eastern States and Sacramento.
It is completed, folly equipped, and In successful
operation, and its earnings' in October, the first full
mohlb, amounted to ,*105,000 In coin. The net earnings
wil],by n moderate estimate, amount to *0007)00 per
annum, in coin,while tlio interest on its .Bond* villi be
but «I«MW>.
The value of the property and franchises is not Ices
than
TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS,
and tile amount of the mortgage Is
m, 800,000.
The bondß are of *l,OOO each, have thirty years In ran,
and will bo sold at
Ninety, and Accrued Interest,
in currency. They ore made payable, PRINCIPAL
AND INTEREST, IN GOLD COIN, in ttofeity of New
York. Coupons duo January and J uly Ist.
The near approach of tho time when the United States
can probably fund tho greater portion of its Six-per
cent, debt, is naturally causing inquiry for other forms
of investment, which will afford satisfactory security
with the sumo rate of interest. THE WESTERN
PACIFIC RAILROAD FIRST MORTGAGE BONUS
must have ah immense advantage over all other securi
ties based upon merely local or uncompleted railroad,
and may be hold with as fiiuch confidence os government
bonds, or a» tirst-ciass 'mortgages on^ Now York City
property. .
Tbo loan is small in’amount. Its claims to confidence
are apparent. Xtwill be rapidly taken. Bonds will be
delivered as the orders aro received.

THtaspAV.Nov.3i.—The gold market was more ex
cited to-day than hae been its wont since the subsidence
of the memorable speculation or lost September. Tba
price axainxave way under the pressnro to sell and
touched 12451, the lowest since tins close of the war
and, in fact, since the year 1843, when in the enthusi
asm succeeding several- sureessive. vleiories of the
Union arms it declined to ESN'. .It will be remem
bered, however, that in the subsequent year, 1884.
under a reversal of tlu se influences, it- rose to 285. In -
deed, there are some who assert that it touched 300. In
those days grid speculation was a now thlngto Wall
street, and tho system of recording the fluctuations was
no! as perfect a* now. However, {he records, which are
authority, fix the highest figure ot 285. Its
action has been quit* spasmodic frrtu that time to this,
the speculative element entering Int* tho marks!
more generally and Increasing tba traim
ections m gold even beyond tlioeo in
stork. Thns the dealings on the S4th of September last
(.mounted to about six hundred millions of dollars.
Speculation culminated th» n, and the price under the
operation of legitimate causes Ims gradually diminished
to figures which represent the growing credit of tbo
government and the country. The highest and lowest

A MARKED DECLINE IN BONDS
[Special Despatch to the l’hlla. Evening Bulletin.!
Kf.w York, Kov. 26.— The money market is
quiet and steady at fi to 7 per cent, on call.
Discounts are unchanged. The banks report
a continued demand for currency from the
west and south. The Foreign Exchange mar
ket is firmer to-day, the decline in gold caus
ing a little more demand. The quotations are
108|al09 for prime hankers’ sixty-day bills.
The Gold market was heavy aDd lower at
the opening with a decline to 1245, the lowest
price yet made. The market ■ subsequently
became firmer in sympathy with foreign ex
change, and the price rallied to 124ja124J.
The Government Bond market was very
much depressed at the first board .with a sharp
Sressurc to sell, which resulted in a marked
ecline, and for a time there was a panicky
feeling in the market. '.
Tho stock market is very irregular again to
day, with some wide and eccentric fluctua
tions. Reading was the strongest stock, and
advanced to 99i on rumors of a cash dividend,
hut finally receded to 09j. Northwestern
shares were also strong, common ranging
from 741 to 73J. and preferred from 883 to 89.
The balance of the railway stocks exhibited
considerable weakness, with a marked de
Cline in the Vanderbilt shares. Kew York
Central declined from 178 J to 1753 ; consoli
dated stock from 1891 to 1873; consolidated
scrip from 1813 to 181; Hudson River fell
158 to 157; Pacific Mail was active, and fell
from 533 to 523. - , .
Southern State securities were heavy and
lower. North Carolina bonds were the chief
leature, with sales ps low as 43 for the old

■Washington, D. C., Nov. 26.—There is
reason to believe that Secretary Cox will so
fur disregard the pressure for the removal of
the capitol as to recommend in his mixt an
nual report ah appropriation for repair of tho
old ana the erection of some new public
buildings. The commission . composed of
Secretaries Fish and Vox, General Michler,
and architects Mullett and Clark, appointed
under the concurrent resolution of Congress,
at their last meeting, voted to report in favor
of locating tho new State Department npon
the present site of the War Office, and of
placing the new .War Department
edifice on Judiciary'Square, near the City
Hall. A previous determination to locate
the State Department in Scott Square, in
which the Commission _ Wore by no
means unanimous, elicited, it is understood,
the opposition of General Sherman, who sug
gested the change which was subsequently
made.
The Commission agreed to recommend that

TnE EXPECTED BFANISH ARM ADA.
Washington, Nov. 26.—A ridiculous story
was set afloat yesterday, to the effect that the
iron* clads Miantonomah and Terror had been
ordered to New York, for .fear of the
Spanish frigates, which, whether cor
rectly or not, our Government has
been informed will shortly put into
that port; the Miantonomah goes to New
York on a trial trip, and the Terror stops
there also. It is always the custom of our
navyi when possible, to have war vessels in
any port where friendly foreign men-of-war
are expected, for an exchange of courtesies.

nontah to report to the Port Admiral at Kew

The ordering of the Miantonomah and sev
eral other national vessels to New York was
doubtless superinduced by the approach of
Spanish war vessels to that harbor, notin an

foreign Visitors of our preparation for all
emergencies.

Tlic Bow In the Virginia Convention,
Richmond, Nov. 26.—A meeting of these- 1
ccders from the Republican Convention topk
place, to-day, at the office.of the State Journal,
the Republican OTgan. Sixty members were
present,about half of the original Convention.
James ,H. Clements, .former candidate for
Lieutenant-Governor on the Republican
ticket, was chosen Chairman. J. H. Platt,
member of Congress elect, recited the causes
of withdrawal, which he said were mainly
found in a determination of a party
in the Convention to choke off
by fair or unfair means . a large
number of members present. He thought the
majority report adopted by force was a direct
censure oii the President and Congress, and in
opposition to the Republican /party of. the
country. He believed that if the Republican
party of Virginia could he put in accord with
the Republican party of. the country, and
made so that men of liberal views could join
it, it could carry the State.
The declarations in the address to Congress
about the danger to Republicans in the State
were untrue, and Congress would discover
the deception, to the ultimate injury of the
Republican party.
John W. Jenkins, Chairman «f the Repub
lican State Central Committee, stated that
the things stated ot the people of Virginia in
the address were untrue, and that the life of
a Republican was as safe ini Virginia as in
New York. . ..
O. A.Hine, leader of the Republicans in the
Constitutional Convention, said this move
ment was not wholly the result of yesterday’s
proceedings, hut of a growing desire among
the people that the Republican party in Vir
ginia should be put upon a liberal ' and a re
spectable basis, by which it might be; enabled
to carry the State.
The general drift of the speeches was that
the times have changed, and that the Republi
can party of Virginia must be put in accord
with the Republican party or the country.
Proscription and reckless denunciation ot the
people of the State must be dropped as an ob
solete idea, and the party must, be made strong
and respectable enongh to carry the State on
its own merits, as the party does in other
States. • .
All the speakers disclaimed the idea of form
ing another party, and only desired to reor
ganize the one now existing. A committee'
of sixteen was appointed to call a Republican
convention at such time as it may think proper
for reorganization.
THE
FIRST MORTGAGE
SINKING FUND
7 PER CENT. 40 YEAR
GOLD BONDS
OF THE
Chicago, Danville and Vincennes
RAILROAD COMPANY,
Total amount to.be issued $2,500,000
on 140 Miles of Road,
(extending from Chicago through Eastern Illi
nois to the junction -with the Evansville and
Terre Haute Bailroad, with which it forms
the shortest THUNK LIKE to Louisville and
the South), making the average of Bonds
about, $lB,OOO per mile, and it is expressly
guaranteed "that the- bond issue shall not ax
ceed that sum.
The Koad traverses a country that assures a
Targe and profitable business; is built and
equipped from Chicago to Monience,a distance
of 55 miles, and upon this portion of the
LINE ONLV WE NOW OFFER THE IiONDS FOB
SALE.
These Bonds are protected with extraordi
nary care hy registration and otherwise; the
interest upon them will he paid out of one
third the net earnings, and the Sinking Bund,
created and set aside, will provide ample
means for their redemption.
They are Officially Registered and Trans
ferred by tho
UNION TRUST COMPANY,
of New York, who thus become the custodian
of these Bonds. It is confidently believed
that no Bonos can be made uobk per*
VECTLY SECURE, OR MORE ABSOLUTELY SAFE.
It is a CAPITAL ADVANTAGE of these
Bonds that t,hey hear J per cent, gold interest
for 40 years; and compared with 6 per cent.
gold bonds, the additional 1 per cent., at com
pound interest, for thirty years, would give
the owner of this Bond a profit of 8851 28,and
for forty years, 82,003 43.
* G overnment Sixes might ho exchanged with
this result: 810,000 would buy $12,000 of these
Bonds, payable in gold, yielding a profit in
hand, and besides the gain of $2,000 PUIS
(I pa I. and the annual 6 Per Cent, there
on, would, at maturity, net the buyer
$24,04110 additional protltln INTEREST.
Price at present, 95 and accrued interest
from October Ist..

This road runs through the richest and most
thickly settled portion of this 'magnificent
State, and is the only link wanting to connect
St. Louis and St. Paul by a direct lino, 147
miles shorter than any other.
: It runs through the great coal fields, 01
Southern lowa to the North where coal is in
dispensable and must he carried.
It mnß from the great lumber regions of the
.North, through a district of country which is
destitute of this prime necessity.
It dobs not bon through a widdernebb,
where it would wait for years for a population. ;
to give it business, but through a tier of conn- *.T.
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 the work.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers’ Loan
and Trust Co., and bonds can be issued only
at the rate of $16,000 per mile, or only half the
amount npoii some other roads. Special se- ■
curity is provided for the principal and for the “
payment of interest.
First mortgages upon most railroads 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, but. a good dividend upon its stock. ,
The immense grain and other freights to be
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 be recommended as a perfectly safe as
-well as very profitable Investment. At the
present rate they pay about ten per cent, on
tho investment. Over $lOO,OOO have already
been, taken by the Company’s, officers and
others interested in the enterprise. Pamphlets,
