To make room for advertisements and
still supply a large amount of reading matter
and news, we shall be obliged to issue a triple
skeet Buf.t.x.tix to-morrow. The edition will
lie livery large one, and advertisers who want
so take advantage of it will please send theli
favors to the publicaticin office early in the day.
ADVERTISING GRAMMAR...
'The grammatical construction of advertise
ments is not properly within the control of
newspaper publishers. They sell the space in
their columns to their customers, and their
customers exercise their own taste,
within certain limits, as to the matter with
which they fill it. The results of the literary
License to those who contribute niost largely to
some of the departments of advertising are
very amusing. A perusal of the "Wants" col
umns of some of our contemporaries will al
most always repay the searcher after philologi
cal curiosities. Here are a few recent speci
mens from the Ledger :" A Girl wants Cook
ing or Housework." This is a novelty. Many
servant girls are exceedingly raw, but very few
of them will confess that they want cooking.
Again : good washwoman wants to go out
by-the day, or take it home." if this worthy
laundress wants to pa out, why • does she hot
do it, without informing the public
of the , fact? And she wants to "take it
home." Well,; there-ein be no, possible.objee
tion to that, if we •only knew what "it" is.
Another advertisertells us that "a few gentle
men, can have good board with home comforts,
also two respectable ladies, with reference."
As the "two respectable ladies" have refer
4inces, - there can be no moral objection to
-adding them to the " home comforts" offered
to these few gentlemen. But the, chances are
that the unsophisticated gentlemen will find
that to their respectability, these two ladies add
.dribiens age, homely-looks, spinsterial designs,
and, poSsibly-4empers, We would advise a
strict examination of their references.
Then a "YoUng American Person" wants a
situation "as housekeeper or some light em
ployment,''—as if housekeeping was a light
employment. This ;'Young American Person"
does not divulge its sex. It may be a man, or
a woman or a Bloomer. It may even be,Dr.
Mary Walker; who knows? But there is one •
indication that our "Young American Person'?
is of the feminine. persuasion; for it is stipulated
*bat "must be treated as ap emial." A man
would not have thought of that. There is a
strong twang of the wrongs of women about
.the stipulation, • that is full of - suggestion . .
Seine of these days we shall have the novelty
of some Young American Person demanding
to "be treated as lie or she deserves;" which
will be e;ucli an advance upon this advanced
idea of being "treated as an equal," that the
housekeeper's millennium will certainly be near
at hand. „
TUE PLEA OF THE FOSTHAN
Mere is hardly any laborer better worthy of
hid hire than a faithful, prompt and honest let
ter-carrier. And yet there are few men more,
poorly paid for important service than the let.
terearriers in, our cities. They get salaries of
from $BOO to $l,OOO, for out-door work from
morning till'night, in all sorts of weather, and
with very important and responsible ditties to
perferm. In old times-people did not grudge
two cents fur every lOiter brought to them,evett
if there were a hur r idred or more in a day.
Now their letters are delivered to them gratis;
and six or eight times a day, the letter-carrier
has to go his rounds on these poorly paid er
rands. There is very good reason, therefore,
for the petition for an increase of pay, which
theletter-carriers of this city have lately pre
sented. We trust it will be favorably con
sidered by the.authorities at Washington.
In the•meauthne, we suggest to every reader
Of this paper that recognizes the excellence of
the present improved and totally expenseless
system of delivering letters, that he or she
should, between this and Christmas time, en
close in an envelope addressed to the letter
carrier, a small sum—say ,from Silty cents to
.five dollars, according to the means of the
.donor and the extent of his or her correspond
•enee. This, of course, is only to be done where
the letter carrier has proved himself faithful,,
pl mule, and polite, as we believe is gen
erally thy ease under General Biugham's ad
,ministration of the Post Office. A little gift of
,this kind will appear totally insignificant, when
.eo,mpared to the expense of receiving letters in
old times, and when there were only one or
tlll/ deliveries daily. And yet the aggregate
.world he something of importance to a nein
who has onlytthe small salary allowed by the
.GOverninenty on .which to support himself ;Ind
tank. This .should not be considered as re
ti,;ving the Goyernnient from the duty. of pay
ing ;higher salaries; but until the salaries 'are
raised, or even .after they are raised, liberal
men would not grudge a dollar or two as •a
Chlistmas.gilt to a faithful and honest letter
4:arrier.
ULU DRAMA.
It is a gratifying fact that a revulsion in
iTitimate drama seems to have taken
place. in t h e I beatres of this city. Mrs.'lliew)
hating surfeited herself and the public with
sensational nonsense, is presenting.a series of
11 61)1e old culoAes in .a manner that is credit
;able to hersPir.,and to that excellent company
hitle.rto this seas - m, hms not had a fair

,quence .of this return to the higher class of
perfolantitccs is a erowded theatre every night.

are the promises and the performances
of the three leading theatres in this
city. Black Crook spectacle, ' leg drama,
opera bovffe, blood and•thunder sensation, in
dec6ney and:nonsense having had their day of
popularity, are east aside as unprofitable.
There has been a return to reason
and to true art. Now we hope the
public will encourage the managers to stick to
their good resolutions and to make the reform
complete and 'pe r manent. Alter all, the people
were to blame for the disgraceful things" which
occupied our theatres for so long a period., If
the public taste bad not been vitiated, niantigclipp
would not have dared to do such violence to
propriety and sense. Their return to legiti
mate performances may be regarded as partial
evidence of improvement in the popular taste,
but it will be necessary that this shall be ex
pressed in a substantial manner to secure the
full fruits of the reform. . •
It is stated that, John C. Breckinridge called
at the White House, yesterday, to pay his re
spects to President Grant. Fortunately it was
not a visitors', day, and the fellow found
the door closed in his face. Barefaced
impudence exhausted itself in this per
formance of the perjured Vice-President. If
there were any difference's in the shades of
moral turpitude that blackened the names of
the leaders of the Rebellion,, that of John C.
Breckberidge is darker than those of Davis,
Lee and all the rebel conclave besidd. A
special oathwas resting upon his - conscience,
and a speelit act of disgraceful perjury was
needed before be could lend his aid to destroy
the Union. Ilut the oath was nothing to him,
and the crime of special perjury was an easy
one to him. Higher in office than any other
who . participated in the. wickedness of the:
Rebellion, his fall was deeper, and his disgrace
darker and more enduring. But the treachery
of Andrew ,Johnson bears its legitimate, fruits;
and the honors p,•rid by that poor' apostate to
the crime of treason, have been graciously ac
cepted even by Breckinridge, and the unre
pentant traitor and rebel walks coolly up to the
White House to pay his respects to honest
Ulysses S. Grant, as if he were a gentleman,
and had 'a right to be received as such.
There used to be public reception-days,
When' the " sovereigns" were admitted, to surge
through the xe cut iv e Mansion, and stare at;
'and shake hands with; and bore the President
of
,the United States, trampling rich carpets
with muddy boots, destroying costly furniture
with rough usage, and asserting all that glorious
privilege "to do what they•— please," which
is the darling prerogative of the free and inde
pendent American Citizen.' Thieves, and pick
pockets and roughs, of both sexes, attended
these . receptions and made themselves corh
fortably at home. President. Grant is not
likely to revive these miscellaneous mobs; but
unless he does, there sari be DO fitting time for
the disgraced ex-Vice President to show his
face within the White House. The sublimity
of hardened insolence that can bring la man
back to that house, who left it under the cir
cumstances which branded John C. Breckin
rid,,e's departure from . Washington, cannot be
surpassed.
The Radical.. Republicans have earriel the
electionin Miisissippi by an unexpectedly large
majority, in the counties heard from there is
a Republican gain of nearly thirty thousand.
The legislature ia also largely Republican. This
result is extremely gratifying to the. Republi
cans of the Northern States, and as it is the
first fair election held in Mississippi since the
ar, it represents what would be the result in
the other Southern States under similar regula
lions, The black voters do not appear to have
been intimidated by their late masters, and
nearly all of them voted, like sensible men, for
the Republican candidates. The defeat of
Dent is especially gratifying to the Republicans.
President Grant opposed him, in spite, of his
relaiionship to him, and the voters of Missis
sippif=by electing Alcorn Governor, show that
they perfectly 'understood the situation. The'
Texas electionis not over, but it is probable
that Hamilton is elected Governor. Such a
wank is not what the Radical Republicans have
desired. But it can hardly be claimed as a
Democratic victory, since Hamilton was al
ways a Union man, and has many friends
among the Republicans.
The continued steady reduction of the public
debt, under President Grant's administration,
does not elicit'a word, of commendation from
the opposition press. In fact, it is gall and
wormwood to the Demeicratic politicians North
and South. But the tax-paying people of all
parties like it. They like the prospect it holds
out of a reduction of the taxes. They like the
fact that by the reduction effected since Grant
came into office, the Government:is .saved four
or five millions of dollars annual interest money.
They like also the fact that by the ptirchase of
seventy-seven millions of its bonds, the interest,
amounting to over four and a half millions, is
saved. These and other financial measures of
the Government are a most gratifying fulfil
ment of President harts promises of a ,pru 7
dent and economical administration. But of
course the Democratic politicians cannot be
expected to approve of such a policy. ,

The surprising development of out national resources
and the rapidity with which the government is new en
abled to reduce the national debt, by weekly purchases,
render it, apparent that the time is approaching when
the Fire-Twenty bonds may be funded at not over four
or tour and a half per cent. interest.
Meanwhile their high price, as. compared with other
classes of securities paying an equal rate of Intone, is
leading to geneiral inquiry for 'more profitable forms of
Investment in which money may fie safely invested.
During the war the nec'eagitien 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 the People in their
safety, they absorbed almost the entire nostitig capital
of the country, and diverted attention from other classes
of securities which bad before been deemed sufficiently
conservative and sound to meet the wants of the moat
cautious investors.
The government is no longer a borrower. It no longer
neede the country's capital, but dosires gratefully and
honorably to repay 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 be derived
from investment in government bonds—is compelling
the search fur other safe and well-guarded channels Into
which capital not employed in biteins may wie,ely sow.
The enterprises or Peace, no lees needful in their; time
and place, for the common welfare, than vvere the waste
and coot of War, now call for the capital which the go
vernment no longer:needs, and offer.for its use a remu
neration which The government need no longer pay, and
in some crises, a security Ste stable and enduring as the
faith of the nation itself.
The desire to capitalize the premium which may now
be realized upon live• Twenty bonds, and which, a ma•
terlal decline in Gold toward Par, and the ability of the
Government to fund them at a lower rate of interest May
At any time extinguish, is felt by many holden; who de.
ire some satisfactory assurance as to which of the many
lower•priced securities In the market would afford the
aeceisary safety to justify an exchange.
The applications for information and advice which are
addressed to us daily, show how universal is the desire
'for this assurance, es to what forms of investment more
profitable than Government securities at present market
rates, are entitled to the 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 experience,and our facilities fur obtaining reliable
information—to tho work of Suit:dying it in some mea
sure, and to offer the results of our Inquiries to those
wbo may be disposed to confide in our good faith and
judgment.
We are unwilling to offer to our friends and the public
anything which according to our best judamikt Is not as
secure as the national obligations themselves, with
which we hllll.* 0 hitherto principally identiti9l onrsehree.
Since closing the GREAT CENTRAL. rAciric
RAILROAD LOAN, which meets all thole neiuire•
rnents, we have carefully examined many othera, but
have found no other "edict) would fully do cc, until the
following was placed in our hands:
FIRST MORTGAGE
SIX PER CENT. GOLD BONDS
OF THE
WESTERN PACIFIC R. R. CO,
OF CALIFORNIA
The Western Pacific Beam , ' connecting Sacramento
with Han Francisco. furnishes the final link in the ex
traortlimiry fact of an unbroken line of rail from the
shore of the Atlantic to that of the Pacific.
It is MO miles in length, including a short branch, and

It is .completed, fully equipped, and in successful
operation, and its earnings in October, the tirid full
month, amounted to 8105,000 in coin. Tim net earnings
will, by a moderate estimate, amouut to 15 GOO ,000 per

The near approach of the time When the United Staten

lissavn,nn,.Tenn., Dec.. 3.—lt is powtible
that the Cincinnati and. Southern Railroad
bill may 'be called up in the Hottile treclaY,stV
„though it would hardly come up in its regular
order before Monday. The printed bill and
the report of the Judiciary Committee recom
mending its rejection were laid before the
members yesterday. The Subject hi attract.
ing a good deal of attention. The Chatta.
nooga people are raising considerable of a
row at even the remote prospect of the Legis
lature rejecting the I ill.
Mr. James, a member from Chattanooga, ii;
the special champion of the bill, end wilt exert
his whole influence to get it through.
The opinions of Mr. Fleming, Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, who opposed the
bill in foto, have considerable weight with the
House—a fact which gives show of plausi
bility to the impression that the bill Will not
pass in its present shape.
Mr. James, however, 18 con fi dent of its pas
sage, after be proposes hisamendment, which
forbids disentnination against Tennessee
freight or passengers.
The Senate has been discussing the subject
of taxation for several days without effecting
anything. One party, headed by Mr. Cooper,
favors an increase of taxes, while another, led
by Mr. Etheridge, advocates a reduction, in
the meantime, the,State is increasing her debt,
and officials are at 'their wits' end to raise
money to pay the isderest on the huge debt
contracted under the Bromilow
A' resolution has been adopted by both
bodies, authorizing the Comptroller to borrow
SAOOO, to be used in the pay of members.
The Legislature will not listen to whis
pers of repudiation or in that direction.
The Nashville and Northwestern Railroad
has ceased to receive any mdie freights ; and
if the bill ratifying the lease between it and
the Chattanooga Railroad is not passed Soon,
it is said, the former road will suspend opera
tions altogether by Monday.
The bill comes up in the House, to-day, on
its third reading, it tieing made the special
order. . ' .

his , defalcation $177.000. 'Te circular
says that be had also discounted
One class of paper to the amount , of
,11,0.000 more than was known or had lice.n
authorized by the directors, and in which,
since his death, it appears that he was inter
ested. These discounts were concealed from
the Board by his taking the paper himself
from the bills offered for discount, which daily
passes before the Board; and placing them Ma
niediately in the bundle of his bins discounted,
thus preventing • them from coming be
fore the Board or going into the register,
which is reviewed weekly. in this, paper is
expected an ultimate loss, but the directors be
lieve it will be largely met by the parties to
the paper,'and from assets known to belong

INntrocsrol.rs, Indiana, Dee. 3 .---The Sen
tinel, of this city, continues its bitter attacks
upon H'. Talbott, whom it bolds responsible
for the formation of the ring that defeated
the Pendleton-Bright delegates to the Demo
cratic State Convention on Saturday Last. The
Sentinel is evidently courting a libel suit, and
promises to prove all its cbarge.s, which are
of a personal, but very damaging nature. A
number of leading Democrats aro in the city.
from all parts of the State, for the purpose of
healing up the differences,' but they will
hardly be successful. •

New York Money Market.
[From the Herald of tettlaY.)
Timnsnav, Dec. 2.—The refusal of Secretary Bontwell
to accept the bile et the recent prepostsi sale of Govern
ment treasure has checked the speculative tendencies
of the gold market and put a linittato op-rations in the
precious metal. The clearances to-day at the Gold
Bank were only twenty-five millions as neatest fifty
millions yesterday , anti the probability is that to-n:l,r
-toWit statement will show a still greater roluction.
The price Mutilated between the comparatively
natrcw limits of \ and 12.2.4‘, and w a srib•
jetted rather to internal than to external induencee.
Ttifts the highest price,ll224, was made when the carry
ing rate far gold, which had begun to doter many hold
ers, ii nut frighten them, into selling. moderated from
find 3.64 to seven per cent. while a few late borrowers
vrettt content to carry balances for six anti three per
cent. This alteration in the carrying rate Was due in a
great measure to the simultaneous relaxation of the
general money market, but it also indicates that a
bearish feeling was engendered as the day wore on,
and us the impressitei became general that the govern
!Lent would sell to-morrow le any event and might per
haps accept bids for even a larger amount than,the one
million advertised. The only reason assigned for the
extra sale is the conjectured desire of Hr. Boutwell tee
offset the withdrawal of Tuesday', but it should
be remembered that Ms.., retirement of that mil
lion hue been positive and that as the pro
posed • sale. was a pot tier' of the November
pregramine (Tueeday leaving- been November:Xi) he is
tinder no ebbe:Linn/ to make meads for it in his 1),.-
criutwr programme. Itowever. the (told Room was un
easy as to what would - be - done, and the fluctuations
within the above limits were quite frequent ten a small
volume of business:- if Mr. Mutat ell is determined that
the gold gamblers shell uot speculate upon his, acttthe is
meeting with gratifying success,fai - with a few merit such '

anees of the Gold Exchange Bank go above a few mil

The government market vas very steady, unit opened
and closed at almost the saute quotations, the only
thictution being early in the utteruoon, when some ap
prehension was felt that the government might have.
accepted crime than the one nilllion of bonds advertised
to be bought fur the sinking fund, and prices
strengthened nn eighth to a quarter percent. Upon the
announcement of the awatela fronton(' Sub-Treasury
the market relapsed to its previous condition and closed
The octivity in the money market which set in on.
Tuesday afternoon and prevailed throughout yesterday,
was still telt in tho earlier beers of business to-day, and'"
rates as high as seven per cent: 4 , Id were quito freely
paid for caul loans; and in some few instances ,[sixteenth
to an eighth per cent. for "turnit g" stocks. Near two
o'clock trapey suddenly, became abundant, and the
rate declined to seven per cent. In
deed, after .half.past two. and certainly in
the vicinity ref three o'clock, it might have been had ne
. low es six. or even - five per cent., but the earirdemand
had been so fictive that borrowers had made their en- •
gage utenta quite early in the day,and hence lenders were
in the majority and W ere compelled to carry balances un. •
eniployed ever night. The fluctuations in"-the money
market are to be traced originally to the smove•
meats of funds iu the depositaries • .of
the city funds and for the payment of 'real estate,
personal slid ether local taxes. Tito 'Vanderbilt clique
aro further cherged with huving unloaded just previous
' to the recent decline and then withholding the money ob

the market arising out of the causes above indi-
W e
ed. The nwer' `movement in stocks is at.
ibuted to their buying etocke again and setting free
the money. The operations of the Treasury
in the [natter of bond pun:buses, have
however, been the f ' chie oceasion of the turn in the
money market this afternoon'. The failure of the

charged with the murder of Colonel daines G.
Seibert, the jury came into. Court, this morn
ing, with a verdict of guilty of murder in the
second degree. A motion for a new trial was
made on behalf of the prisoner.
It is understood that when the jury first re
tired there were five for acquittal, six for Mur
der in the second degree, and one for murder
in the first degree. This was the disagreement
that kept the jury out so long.

'James McGarrigle was put on trial thiS
morning, charged with the murder of his wife
Mary, on the .10th of October last. The pris•
oner baring . no' counsel, the Court assigned
General Collis to defend him. In this connecH
Lion Mr. Dwight, for the. Commonwealth,
stated that, in view of the fact that the pris
oner had ethployed no counsel, he bad pro
posed to call every witness who "could throw
any light upon. the subject, and in the trial take
care of the interests of the accused. General
Collis said he knew nothing of the facts, arid
would he comptAled to take them as they came
from the witness-stand."
A jury was obtained without difficulty; the
question in regard to scruples on the subject
of capital punishment being omitted, thus in
dicating that Commonwealth does not pro
pose to press for murder in the first degree.
According to the evidence, on the night of
October :id Mrs. McGarrigle was lying on a
bed on the floor iu a house in Water street,
below Walnut, when her husband came in
and inquired if his supper was ready. She
told i bini to get it himself, whereupon ho
stepped to her and kicked her in the side, and
when she got up to leave he Struck her
on 'the head. She remained out in the
entry sonic time, and then came hack
to bed. The next day she was about, and
continued up for several days, drinking, as
le. nal. and - nothing Seemed to be the matter
w ith her. This was the statement made by

establishment would not relieve the County -
Prison to any great extent, and there can be
no remedy proposed but an enlargement of,
the part of the• prison devoted to male eon
victs. The female department of the prison,
freed from the inconvenience of ,crowded.
cells, was found scrupulously clean and
neat.' At, the .Alinshouse the,crowded
condition the Insane Departmen was no
tieed, and an extension, of the building is reL.
commended. • The IlOtiBo of Refuge was found
to be in proper order.'• " InAheir visit to the
Girard' College, the Grand Jury regret to say
that they . did not tintlit in as cleanlyn condi
tion VS in their judgment it should die -
kept, especially should-be
in thejoonis devoted to school
purposes." The Penitentiary was visited, and
found to be properly eondneted and managed.
"The Grand jury, at the solicitation Or ' hie
Boner, Judge Peirce, visited the locality- of
Bedford street; and can, -therefore,- without
hesitation; fully coincide in the views he: ex
pressed in his special charge, to theni, android.;
regret that so little time was 'left. thein 'of ,
present term.. They have; homelier, • do,neliz
the matter all that could reasonably be eir
pected of them. In this connection wewonkl
call the attention, of the Court to the following
parties and houses which; in the .opinion• of
the Grand Jury, should be indieted , ti.iSar
derly houses and public nuisances: .7
Michael Kelly, No: 613 South SeVerith
street.
Michael Boyle, • No. 617 South Seventh
street.
Harry Farmer,' southeast cornet ,Seventh

• Dennis Quinn, 705 Alaska street.
Thomas Farley, 620 South Eighth Street: •
Daniel McNichols, 614 South Eighth .street.
Robert Taylor, 614 South Seventhstreet,
"The Grand. Jury would also mention- the
very few policemen on duty in this plague
spot of our fair city. The whole Munber for
(hity in the District, which extends from west
side of Sixth street to the east side . of Broad
street, and from south side of South street,' o
ihe southern limits of the city, consists of 40,
men, of 'which *number but cue
half can be on duty at One. time.
And the Grand Inquest would call particular
attention to the fact that our city is 'leeming
With unlicensed dram-shops, gambling hells,
bawdy houses, policy shops; and the resorts Of
the idle and vicious. Among the latter may
be particularized - saloons where, under -the
guise of a musical entertainment, unlicensed
revelry is indulged in, fostering vice and 'do,
basing virtue. . • ,
"The Grand Jury regret to say that, in their
belief much of the rowdyism prevalent in Or
midst is
.owing to the Volunteer system of our
Fire . Department, and while. cheerfitily , ac
cording all honor and praise doe to the Self
sacrificing labors of many meniberS of
the saute, cannot avoid. expressing-their con
viction" that the good they . map, do , is more
than counterbalanced by the lawlessness
others, and that the sootier the present systein
is abandoned' anti its place taken by a Paid
Fire Department, the better for our city."
The Grand Jury refer to the crowding With ,
ears of the crossing of Richmond street and
the Reading railroad, And the danger to life
and limb is suggested. The , .Philadelphia
Fountain .Society 'COMinended for its, phi
lanthropic wor 'Luring the past summer.
