4 ' TUE RIM RIVER Ticounms.
3,..a5t , week information reached us that the
led River Rebellion was triumphant, the rebels
beaten their enemies and driven Gover
:',, of h
aer McDovrea. l and his cohorts out .t e cowl:
by. Now we learn that the people of that
section have formally declared their indepen
dence and established a Provisional Govern
,
Jaen; of a republican form, over Rupert's Land
an the Northwest territory. This declaration
intended as a defiance of the Canadian Do
minion, to which the Hudson's Bay Company
transferred its jurisdiction over the territory.
The rebellion was caused by an attempt on the
peat of the Dominion authorities to assume
control of the government, and to appoint a
• 4uler over the people. McDougal was sent
thither for that purpose, but the inhabi
t tails, tired of the wretched mismanagement of
their affairs by outsiders, determined to repu
diate the absurd transfer of their country,
their property and themselves to Canada; so
Mr. Dougal was kicked out of the country
without delay; and now we have a bold stroke
Mr liberty and independence. Under ordinary
sircumstances we believe that the British
Government would permit the Dominion to
manage this matter without assistance ; for
'although these people actually are British sub
jects, and their declaration of independence is
as much an act of rebellion against the British
t ilovernment as our declaration was, the terri
tory has such little intrinsic value, and is so
sparsely settled, that its loss couldbe of no dis
advantage. Besides, a refusal to interfere
would be consistent with, that later policy of
Ragland which leaves the management of co
lonial affairs in a large measure to the colonists
themselves. But-there• is onu fact in this in
stance which, not improbalilY, will induce the
British government to lend its troops to the
imforcernent of the Canadian claims. The
otitis have declared their intention to form
»public ; and it is well known that such an act
Je designed to be merely preliminary to a re
*rest for annexation to the United States; for
these people are already bound to us by com
mercial relations which would be of vastly
greater value if their territory was a part of
this country. But to prevent such a con
sommation England would, ne likely to
use extraordinary efforts. Jealous as she is of
•ar increasing power, and of our tendency to
absorb adjacent territory north and south, she
puld not permit any encroachment upon her
possessions in this quarter, without fear that
such annexation would be but the preliminary
step to measures Which would give us the
whole Pacific coast, and pave the way to our
absorption of Canada. More than this, Eng
land cherishes the designs of building a trans
oontinental railroad through her American
possessions, to rival our Pacific Railroad, and
the loss of this Red River territory would
frustrate that scheme, and bar the way to
the Pacific coast. If the Red River peo
ple could give assurance that they would pos
sess their little republic in peace, satisfied to
remain in au isolated position, we doubt if
there would be any interference with them,
unless Canada thought fit to send some of her
valiant militiamen against them. As it is,
we shall probably bear before long of
the march of British troops against
the brave rebels, and then, we fear,. the re
public will vanish into thin air, for the people
cannot undertake a contest even with a small
force of disciplined soldiers. Of course wo
cannot give them material assistance. We are
pinning a selfish policy of peace just now,
and unless the prize was very tempting, we
would hardly hazard contest with anybody.
The Red River people have very little induce
ment to offer. Their entire possessions would
hardly compensate us for placing, an army in
The field. What we can do, however, is to
embarrass the Canadians by refusing to per
mit their troops to pass through our territory,
and we hope the government' will make the
refusal peremptory and final wherever such an
application is made.
A BLACK CHRISTMAS.
While churches, school-houses and dwellings
are decked with evergreen foliage, in joyful
remembrance of the Great Founder of the
Christian festival, the external appearance of
Philadelphia. is almost funereal in its sombre
mourning garment of deep, black mud. The
streets, hung with fog and mist, are grim and
forbidding in the utter ugliness of unmitigated
uncleanness. Those who will be merry, at
this Christmas-tide, must make merry within
doors, for Mark Tapley himself would be de
pressed by" the dismal expanse of slimy black
mess that covers all the street-ways of the city.
Philadelphia is called the Quaker City, but we
eau no more realize the idea of a muddy Qua
ker than we can that of a Quaker beggar , and
we must either relinquish our accepted desig
illation, or niake one last effort to get back to
something like. that cardinal principle of the
Society of FriendS which puts cleanliness next
bo godliness.
It will surprise and disappoint most people,
who expected different things from the Board
'of Health, to learn that the old street contrac
tors hare actually been paid ! Why this has
bas been done is, as yet, an unsolved` mystery.
Everybody knows that they have not earned a
dollar of this money, and the Board of Health
knows it best of all. The payments must have
,„ 0 r been voluntary, since there was no pretext
.4zpon which the contractors could have corn
pelted them, and why such a respectable body
of gentlemen as constitute the Board of Health
~!
:'
4 Ar` ,
'-:, should have thrown away this large sum of
::,I, , money . for nothing, upon a set of men who
~ L have violated their contracts and insulted the
PA " rt - owe of the whole community by their flagrant
i
. Ax seglect of duty, it, is quite impossible to say.
iii , ' , -.Tite Board of Health has now made.new

, • -4,llhlnttt., 0
k t ''.9
i
' \ ) '
reason to hope for any improvement in We eon
dition of the city. If the old contractors could
get Weir money`for doing nothing, we see no ,
reason to hope that the new one will dare to
work very bard for theirs. ' There will be the
usual flourish of the new. btooms, and rattle of
the ,new scrapers, and then Philadelphia Will
slide back into her present condition of abject,
,disgraceful filthiness. .
The practical trouble about this street-clean
' ing bnsiness• appears to be that ',it 'has been
charged upon 'a Department of the City GoV_
eminent whose officers were appointedlor a
dllierent purpose. The organization' of the
Board of Health may be easily adjusted to an
efficient discharge of the difficult' task of
cleaning the streets, but the personnd
of the Board; unexceptionable as It is, in point
of integrity, intelligence and respectability, was
not made up with reference to any such duties as
those now devolved upon it ; and if Philadel
phia is to be cleaned and kept clean, it is evi
dent that one of two things must be done.
Either the Board of Health must be reorganized,
with a view to strpplying the deficiencies in the
,present administration of this difficult portion
of its duties, or there mnsk be an independent
Department of Street (leaning established;and
entrusted , to some ofliceq . capable as well •;.as
honest, who shall be well paid for his, services,
and held to a strict account for their faithful
performance. Philadelphia cannot afford to
surrender to the difficulties of thin mud problem.
The health, comfort and reputation of the city
are all too deeply concerned, to sutler a contin
uance of this disgraceful state of affairs. Only
assure the people that the 'money is being
honestly and wisely expende.d,and there will be
no appropriation of the public funds so willingly
approved by the citizens of Philadelphia as that
which is expended to procure the blessing of
clean streets.
A TURICE-TOLD TALE.
The Girls' Normal High School was the
scene of a very interesting and creditable ex
hibition on Friday last, preliminary to the
Christmas holidays. The hall of the building
was crowded with about three-fifths of the
pupils, (all that it will bold) and a number of
city officials and other friends of the cause of
popular education. The exhibition consisted
of several adlitable recitations by the young
ladles, calisthenic exercises by a large class who
acquitted themselves in a most creditable
manner, singing, and addresses by Mayor Fox,
Ex-Governor Pollock and others. The whole
affair was a bright and animated one, and
forined an excellent illustration of the thorough
and intelligent training under which the girls
of the Normal School are being prepared to
take their places as teachers in the public
schools of Philadelphia.
The burden of the addresses on this occasion
was the miserably cramped and insufficient ac,
commodation afforded to this most important
School. Numbering nearly five hundred pupils,
young women who are, collectively and indi
vidually, eminently a credit to the city, and to
whom the citizens of Philadelphia expect to
entrust the educational interests of the thou
sands of children in our public schools, they
are herded together in a small building, in an
ont<if-the-way little by-street, alike unheard of
by residents and strangers, and unable to carry
out the full design of the School, for want, of
and accommodat ion.
Mayor
room
'Mayor Fox said that the cry for a suitable
building for the Girls' Normal School had be
come such an old tale, that he believed he had
never heard an address made there that had
not rung its changes upon it. He admitted
the importance of an enlarged building, but
confessed that he did not care so much about
the building as he did about its contents.
It is true that' the demand for the erection
of a suitable building • for the Girls' Normal
School is beginning to be an old one, but it is
only the more imperative on that account.
The Boys' Central High School and the Girls'
Normal School are the fountain heads of the
future popular education of the masses of
this great city. The former has been given a
proper location and a building commensurate
with its needs. But the latter has been allowed
to remain cooped up in the narrow limits of the
building on Sergeant street, so straightened in
accommodation, that two hundred of the
pupils themselves had to be excluded • from
participation in the Christmas exercises of
Friday last; while every department of the
School sutlers for want of room. It is not
creditable to our city authorities that this really
great School has been thus neglected, and we
are glad to know that at least a small prelimi
nary step has been made, by the appropriation
of fifty thousand dollars toward the erection
of a new building. Two or three times this
amount will, of course, be needed for the pur
pose; but the present small appropriation will
suffice to commence the work, and we trust
that this will be immediately done.
The Girls' Normal School is an institution
of which Philadelphia may be justly proud,
and In selecting a site for its new building, it
should be done with reference to making it at
tractive and accessible to strangers and visitors,
as well as commodious and appropriate to the
purposes of education. We have made a great
advance in the handsome grammar-school
buildings recently erected, and can point to
them with pride as among the best ornaments
of Philadelphia. Now let us have such a
building for The Girls' Normal School, and
such a school established in the building as
will give fresh proof of the deep interest
which the people of Philadelphia take in the
great cause of popular education. If the 'ap
peal is a " thrice-told tale, " it has gained,
rather than lost, significance by the re-iteration;
and it is too important in its bearing upon our
whole public-school system, to, be allowed to
suffer longer indifference or neglect.
WISE lIIJHAIIITY.
It is only occasionally, in the exorcise of its
exceptional functions, that thejudfclary has the
opportunity to present law in its peculiarly hu
mane .aspects. Its ordinary functions are
clothed in the severer garb of stern Justice,
wielding its great powers for the punishment
and prevention of crime, rather than in the
gentler attribute of thoughtful and wise hu
manity.
This exceptional exercise of the 'parental
function of the law is strikingly and admirably
• exemplified in . the interesting opinion pf Judge
Ludlow is the Draper habeas corpus case,
published in full in Friday's BULLETIN. With
out going Into the details of the case,_so lucidly
stated by the learned Judge, it is only right
that such a judicial opinion upon a question in
volving most important interests should not
pass unnoticed.: It; is marked by such. a rare
combination of strict recognition of the law,
clear comprehension of its true meaning, high
regard for personal human liberty, judielal Win

The Sunday papers of Philadelphia have
her#tofore been strenuous opporiefitsof all pro
positions to establish a Paid Fire ,Department.
This hinfprobably been tecatise the Volunteer
firemen were supposed to be valuable support
ers of such papers. We are glad to find that
this notion is not so prevalent as it was, and to
welcome two influential Sunday papertrto •the
ranks of the advocates of a Paid Fire• Depar
tment. The Sunday TrUnscript and the ,Van
day Tines, of yesterday, both came out man
fully in favor of the Paid system. The Tran
sript concludes its article by saying.that "a
Paid Fire Depattment will be established at no
distant day, arid as soon as a well-digested plan
can be proposed that will satisfy the commit
pity that they are not going from, a great evil
to astill greater one." The Times says :4 4 The
volunteerfire department was well adapted to
the wants, of the city when our population was
only one or two hundred, thousand, and its
members performed their duties nobly and
faithfully, but it has outlived its day, and is
sure to be replaced by a paid department,
which will be under better control."
The Frei3ch Government, it appears, has
made • a certain concession in the matter of
postage' to and from the United States, although
it has not consented to all that Mr. Creswell
asked. Letters weighing ten grammes, or a
little less than half an ounce; if sent direct be
tween the two countries, will be carried for
sixtY , centimes, or about twelve cents, prepaid.
If sent by way of England, the charge will be
seventy centimes, pr about fourteen cents. In
all cases prepayment will be required. This is
a considerable improvement on the old system,
and if the Postmaster General perseveres in his
efforts, we may soon have a reduction of post
age to France as low as that lately fixed to
England.
Messrs. d'Epineml & Dimple), proprietors
of the Scientific Journal, announce that the
destruction of their establishment by fire will
not prevent the regular issue of their paper
upon the usual day. Of course they have
suffered heavy loss, and much inconvenience,
but they will be enabled to carry on their
business without interruption. .

PANIC AT AIM
Terrible Scene on Heard a Briti‘b
Courageons American En
.
newton, Jamaica, December.--A. sad ac
cident has happened to the- British steamer
Twinkliag Star, late American steamer Es
trella, which left this port on the 20th ultimo
for Cape Haiti, with a valuable cargo on
board. At about 9 o'clock on Saturday, _the
27th ultimo, when about fifty, miles from St.
Nicholas Mole, and about 9 o'clock at night,
the engineers discovered that the iron plates
about amidships and in front of the paddle
wheels had been strained from the heavy seas
through which she was passifig, and that large
volumes of water were coming into the hold
of the vessel, "through :cracks on either side,
below the water mark. Some of the pas
songerei on board were advised of
this, and gradually the passengers and
crew,'were overtaken by a panic, when there
was A rush to the life-boat, which was speedily
lowezed, and into - it escaped the United States
Consul •• of this port, Mr. Aaron Gregg and
several others. - But the lowering of this boat
was so badly managed, in the effort of every
one to save himself, that the bow of the boat
was elevated out of the water, while the stern
was submerged in the foam which left the
paddle-wheels, but they managed at last to
cut the rope, and ao disentangled them from
ths steamer. No sooner had the life-boat
parted from the ship than a panic overtook
the firemen and others who were left on board,
and the scene when the firemen forsook the
furnaces, the oilmen the engines. the stewards
the kitchensiand the captain took leave of his
senses, was perfectly hellish. The panic
stricken crew seeing that the life-boat had
left them believed that the ship was
about ready to part and ready to• ,
founder, and just at this critical mo
ment Mr. Thomas Lewis ' the second en
gineer, and the only American citizen on
board, seeing every post deserted and all hands
fiyiag in the jaws of death, rushed upoa the
deck, and with a voice of thunder and thrill
ing earnestness, addressed himself to them in
this wise—"Halloo there! where are you,
who mil yourselves Englishmen? who fly
from your stations when there is a little bit of
danger, and call yourselves men, and English-.
men? Come back here to your places—l am
not afraid! I'll stake my life, and back all I
have, that I will take this vessel into port with
perfect safety—if you but do your duty."
Then turning to the captain, he said : " Yon,
captain, you've lost your 1460, awl allowed
these cowardly fellows—these lazy landlubbers
who call themselves English, to take your
senses from you. Go up to your place on the
hurricane deck, and order the wheelman back
to his place." (Turning again to the firemen,
who stood with their bags ready to quit the
ship)---" Go back to your places and do your
duty, and it' we are to die, let us die like brave
men and not as cowards! lam but a young
man yet, and do yon think lam going unne
cessarily to risk my life ? And I have a young
wife and a little family in Jamaica, and do
Nou think I am going to leave them to want?
ot a bit of it.. I mean sego back there, and
not to run away in a little emergency like
tide." Then addressing Mr. Nathan a solicitor,
who was buckling on a life belt. " Take
that off, sir ; not the slightest necessity for any
nonsense of that kind. You stand bv me, and
everything will go well." And that little
American citizen, Mr. Lewis, so inspired con
fidence into the whole panic-stricken tvew,
that they resumed their places; and carried
the steamer successfully into the harbor Q f St
Nicholas Mole, and I am informed li Mr.
Nathan, a passenger on board, that had it not
been for the courage and presence of mind of
this second-engineer, the steamer must have
foundered, and all hands been lost, whereas
the steamer was safely conducted into one of
the hest harbors in the world, without her
cargo having been damaged to the extent of
a single shilling. The cargo was valued at
£12,000. The life-boat got into port a few
hours after the steamer, and Mr. Consul
cregg, with the other passengers, came on to
this port in the American schooner Lady
Woodbury, of Portland, Me., performing the
voyage ,of over two hundred and seventy
miles in a little less than twenty-four hours.—

Philadelphia Illeueer Market-
'll(o.Bbs.v, Bee. 27, 1569.—The market opened today
with only a moderate demand-for money, but the hanks
and lenders accommodate their customers at the old
rates. There is not a very large amount of business
paper affeatoind it is taken up freely hi the outside
market at about 9 per cent., but there is a very rigid
scrutiny kept up as to the credit of the makers, which
occinionally adds to the difficulty of obtaining money to
the extent required. The banks continue Conservative,
and very little discounting is being done by them.
' •We quote un call at 6 per cent. easy. and discounts at
per cent. on Hist-class signatures only.
There was a slight downward tendency in gold this
morniug. but Was not of a very marked character. The

Government bonds are rather more active, and Friday's

The Stock market wag very dull, with light sales at
former quotations. There were no sales effected either
in State or City loans.

The Neel Work Nosey Market.
I From the Herald of to-day. 3
Scniv,Y, Dec. W.-41011day week promises to be a Vary
dull onm Iti Wall street if the experience of the past
work be a criterion. Naturally the end of tho year,
ulth the winding up of accounts, brings about a more
conservative tone among moneyed men. On the present
in:reastou Gale dullness m assisted by the adionnunent
of Congrees, whose proceedings are so closely
watched by the financial eommunity and give the
cue to Po many bapLress enterprises. The money
market has worked comfortably to borrowers on call,
and loans on pledge of the usual collateral' have been
freely made at six to *even per cent. There is little or
no apprehension concerning the immediate future of the
market, illailtiluch as be e n riic su p plie d. l and unc
by the interior bits fully p capital
shown sdispoeitton rather to begin its usual winter ac
cumulation at this centre. The thousand and
one enterprises which call for money are
in abeyance until the opening of spring. Doubtless in
the ensuing week we shall experience coma activity in
the local money market. owing to the calling in of loans
to prepare for the liquidation of the January instalment
of interest by our numerous savings banks cud for pay •
went of coupons on railway and State bonds and like
interest-bearing eecurities. Such money, however, soon
find; Its way back araln into bank.
The sleek market bas been especially quiet, and the
fleet cud one were made on light transactions, the prin
cipal operators seeming to be content with small pro fi ts.
for which reason they realized on small advances. The
only feature was the disposition which stocks mani-'
fisted to cut lore from gold, with which they had
closely empathized ever since both stocks and gold had
their great trouble last September. The Govern
ment hand market has been alternately strong
and weak. Operators for a rise were dis
appointed by the steadiness of the foreign
market, which, it was expected, would be strongly, ac
tive after the presentation of the Cabinet reports, and
especially upon the flattering exhibit of the national re
sources. se contained in the various docoments sub
mitted to Cisegress. The decline in geld was alsocounted
upon for its effect abroad, but•the foreign bankers have
contented thernselvee with brief and light ventures now
and then in the government market. There has been a
steady reinvestment of the coupons dne January 1, end
which have been sayable at the Sub-Treasury since Fri
day lest.

Proposed Enian4elpatiosa of the Slaves....
Introduction of Free African Laborer&
The question of abolishing slavery in the
islands of Cuba and Porto Rico has called forth
a proposal from several influential planters
and merchants of. Cuba, of which the follow
in is a summary :
The national government should decree the
immediate and sironitaneorui abolition of sla
very in the islands of Cnba and Porto Rico.
All slaveholders to liberate their slaves with
out indemnification whatever on the part of
the government. All slaves between the ages
of ten and sixty years to remain under their
former owners as laborers for the term of ten
consecutive years. The conditions of labor
and pay to remain the same as before, with
the exception of a nominal sum to be paid by
the employers per month and in proportion
to the age of the persons so employed. .Dnring
the term of apprenticeship the employes to
bind themselves toeducate their se is in a
manner to render them capable to msUre their
own way in the world. A. committee shall be
called from among the supporters of this
movement, who Shall form a "Spanish Chris
tian Society of Free Native Africans of the
Island of Cuba," which society shall have the
exclusive privilege,of introducing free-African
labor for the term of twenty-five years. Na
tive Africans introduced tinder the auspices of
said society shall be bound to serve an appren
ticeship of ten yeam, and shall be educated the
same as the liberated slaves.
The Reception of the Remains Of Mr.
Peabody.
From the Portland (Me.) Press, December :15.]
The Committee of Ten appointed by the
General Committee of citizens to consult with
proper Federal and State authorities, and with
such other persons as they might deem proper,
to devise a progranune for the action of said
General Committee on the arrival of the re
mains of Mr. Peabody, met at the Mayor's of
fice last evening in an informal manner, and
talked the matter over. They recommended I
by resolutions "that when the
cers of the Monarch shall have
placed the remains of Mr. Peabody in the
bands of the civil authorities, the remains shall
be escorted to the pity Hall and laid in state
so long as they shall remain in Portland." I
Also, " that the City Building, both externally
and internally, shall be appropriately draped
during the time that the remains are lying in
state." They furthermore recommend "that
appropriate music shall be performed at the
time of the removal of the remains," and
" that a precession shall be formed to escort
them to the station on their departure for Sa
lem," and that the city shall extend aninvi
tation to all the city societies, such as' the
Board, of Trade, Maine Charitable Mechanic
Association, filasons, Odd Fellows, &c., to
join such procession."
The chairman of theCommittee,who visited
Salem to confer with the relatives, made a
report similar to the one published in the
Press the other morning. He also stated that the
trustees desired to be. telegraphed as soon as
the Monarch was signaled, and also that Mr.
Prescott, the Saperiutendent of the Eastern
Railroad, be telegraphed at the same time,
that he might have - a car in readiness for
the Committee. They desired no mili
tary escort from Portland to Salem,
flintier than a guard of honor. A Committee
of twenty-tire will come to Portland from
Salem, Peabody and surrounding towns, on
the solemn occasion. The funeral will not
take place in Peabody till ten days after the
arrival of the' remains.
The United States Government have as yet
taken no steps in the matter, bat the Presi
dent, without doubt, will issue an order shortly
in relation to the course to be pursued by the
Government.
DEATH OF' THE DUCHESS OF AUMALE.—Her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Aumale died at
Twickenham, yesterday afternoon, after a long
illness. The death was rather sudden, but it
was well known to the friends of the Duchess
that the complaint from which she was suffer
ing might have an abrupt termination. The
Duke of Aumale was absent when the Duchess
was seized with fatal symptoms, having gone
for a ride in Bushey Park. He was at once
sent for, and returned before her Royal High
ness was dead. The late Duchess (Princess
Marie Caroline Auguste de Bourbon) was in
her forty-eighth year, having been born on the
2tith of April. 1822. She was married to the
Duke of Aumale in 1844. The Queen left
Windsor about three o'clock this afternoon
for Twickenham, on a visit of condolence to
the Duke of Aurnale's family.—Pall Mall Ga

THE NEW CHAP EL , 01 , ST. JAMES'S CHURCH.
—The opening services iu the chapel lately
erected by the congregation of St. James's
Church, at the corner of Walnut and Twenty
second streets, were held on Christiana day.
This is a great stride front Seventh, beyond.
Market. But the main body of .the congregation
has moved west of Broad street, and, the new
location is thus proved judicious. The new
building is in its exterior very sightly and,
in its interior arrangements well nigh perfect. ,
Theground floor contains Sunday School and
Parish school rooms; a room for the Dorcas
Society, full of closets and other conveniences,
dear to the hearts of the ladies of the congre
gation, whose activity in all works of charity,
though - very silent, has been widely service
able. Bible class-rooms and cloak-rooms, and
indeed all sorts of rooms needed by the con
gregation, are also provided.
The upper floor forms a singularly beauti
ful chapel, with a fine open roof, large east
window of stained ~,alass, organ loft and all the
accompaniments of 'a regular church ; though
it is destined,we understand; only for the
accommodation of the congregation,and.
will, when the " church" is built, be devoted
to the accommodation of the Sunday schools
of the parish. The chapel on Christmas day
was de n.sely packed with people, and though
warm, was so well ventilated that no close
ness of atmosphere was perceptible.
From the appearance of the foundations of
the church,on the south side of the chapel,we
argue that the congregation , of St. James in
tend to erect an • edifice that will be an orna
ment to that part of the city,for its proportions
are vast, and the taste of its architect, Mr.
Littell, has already, been established by his
ecclesiastical structures in other cities..

editorial on the Alabama claim question, in

arguing that England should apply different

nation ; that Great'Britain should have let,the

and should J3a,ve legislated, if necessary,

was much less able to check them here. War

In view of the large =suet of JANUARY

desire to call the attention of Our CUtiteMerg to
the FIRST MORTGAGE 7 PER CENT.
BONDS of the LAKE SUPERIOR AND
MISSISSIPPI RAILROAD COMPANY,
one of the few securities we feel safe inreccom
mending as 000 D.
The importance of the route connecting the
bead of the Mississippi River navigation• with
the head of Lake Superior, and receiving the
trade of the five railroads centreing at St. Paul,
will insure to this road a large and profitable
trade. The Land Grant-1,032,000 acres—is in
itself an amply su ff icient basis for the mort
gage ($4,500,000), and all proceeds of land sales
are applied directly to cancellation of the
bonds.
The parties in interest embrace some of the
first railroad and financial men of the country,
and Mr. hi oorehead, of our firm, is one of the
Trustees of the mortgage.
The construction of the road is progressing
rapidly, and the whole line will be completed
in time for the moving of the crops of 15.70.
We recommend these bonds as raying n
much larger interest than Government Securi
ties, without the risk of a high premium. We
have for sale $:300,000 at the original subsprip
tion price, !Maud accrued interest.n currency
(denominations $llOO and 51,000 coupon). Pur
chasers this month have the advantage of the
gold coupon payable at our office on January
I—the premium upon which is equal to nearly
per cent., making the price lower than many
bonds of much less ment now offered to the
public.
We receive in payment Government and
other securities at their market vaAue, and
