The Stato Debt.
One of the most wonderful results of
the great struggle which ended so faVor
ubly to the government, may be justly
recognized in that which preserved the
credit and steadily reduced the indebted
ness of the State of Pennsylvania. Ue
I'ore the preciphation of the war, thefe
were those who croatingly insistld that
a reduction of the State debt was iiupos
cible without a resort to direct taxation.
-Hut it has been demonstrated that such a
reductiou was possible, even while the ex
ecutive authorities were surround-jd by
the most embarrassing circumstances ad
verse, to financial health and strength.
15y the forthcoming report of tie State
Treasurer, it will be shown that the debt
of Pennsylvania, in 1SG.", is just four
HUNDRED AND NINETY THttEE THOUSAND
H VE HUNDRED AND El'JHTY-SEVEN DOL
LARS less than it iris in 1850. When it
is remembered that this reduction took
place at a time while the current and ex
traordinary expenses of the Common
wealth were enormously increased by the
demands of war when many of the
sources of taxation, whence the State
derived large revenues, were materially
affected by th withdrawal of large bod
ies of laboring men from productive pur
suits, this reduction can only be attributed
to a wise jolicy of economy, prudence
and real integrity on the part of those
who direct the affairs of the State. Ant
if duriug four years of devastating and
exhausting war, it was possible to reduce
the State debt almost lu.if a million of
cfollars, how much can it be reduced with
in the next foui years of peace promising
immense prosperity 1
The I'nion Businex College.
Our attention has been directed to a
Xcw Uusiness College which has teen
lately established in Philadelphia, with
the most decided success. We refer to
The Union Uusiness Coliego under the
efficient management of Messrs. Peiree k
Farr. The enterprise and foresight of
these gentlemen in icmoving the location
of a Practical Business School from the
noise and confusion of the business por-
tion of the city to the quiet and convenl-
ence of their present location, have been
fully appreciated by the public. The ad
vantage of location, combined with great
practicability abJ experienced teachers,
among whom wo notice our old friend,
Capt. Charles II. Miller, have secured for
the Institution a patronage of nearly three
hundred pupils in the short time it has
been established. No other institution in
Pennsylvania has risen so rapidly ot so
deservedly. The course of instruction is
thorough, comprehensive and praetical,
and young men cannot make a better in
vestment of their time and money than
in securing just such an eduoatictt as this
College affords. The organization of the
Practical Department . and the employ
ment of practical book-keepers such as
Captain Miller, secures not only the ut- J
most efficiency in the theory but also a !
great degree of experience in tbe practice j
of business affairs".
Young men desiring- to enter upon
commercial pursuits will do well to visit
the Inion Business College, ITandel 4
Hayda Hall, Eighth and Ppring Garden
Streets, or procure a circular by address
ing Messrs. Peirce & Farr, Proprietors of
the same. They may be sare of a gen
tlemanly reception and if they" decide up
on pursuing a course of studies, the great
est attention to their interests acd the
possession of every advantage that a Jiu
f!ne?s College can give.

The State of the Country;
The official statement of the conditions
and relations cf the country, as given
through the Missage of the President
and the reports of the various departments
and bureaus, afford a most satisfactory ex
hibit. Their influence is already felt in
the increase of publio confidence and the
strengthening of the national securities.
Considering the vast responsibilities which
have, duriug the last four years, oppress
ed the Government, and the immense
debt which has been contracted in the
war for the Union, every report which
has been given the people is much more
favorable than was expected. Upon all
the great subjects of present national con
cern the question of re-organization of
the revolted States, the condition and
prospects of the Treasury and the finan
cial purposes of the Secretary and of Con
gress, and the foreign relations of our
Government the official documents laid
before the National Legislature, speak in
a way that gives ground for entertaining
the faith that the course of the country
is towards domestic pacification and inter
national peace, and a higher measure of
prosperity than it has ever before known.
Southern Opinions.
A leading article in the Albany Even
inj Journal contains this passage :
"Vhcn in New York, a few days since,
we met a gentleman from the neighbor
hood of Wilmington, N. C, who, alluding
to the change in the labor system of the
south, said : 'The laot is, we were all fools
upon this subject. I owned before the
war two hundred and fitty slaves. I fed
them, and clothed them, good and bad,
-ttong and infirm, old and young, alike.
Now, I bare a hundred hands at fifteen
dollars a month each. I take my pick of
the best. If they work, they are paid ;
if they do not work, they go unpaid; and
they support their own sick and inlirui.
The one hundred do more labor than two
hundred and fifty used to perform, and I
am making a great deal more money from
them.' A distinguished rebel general
who stood by, quietly remarked : 'That is
so generally throughout the South. The
fact is, we had the dearest labor and the
most expensive institution in the world.' "
8?gkMr. Ward, (N. Y., introduced a
bill, which was referred' to the Committee
on Military Affairs, granting bounty land
and money to United States soldiers who
served dutinc the Rebellion. The bill
provides for giving bounty land and money
to all soldiers who enlisted prior to June
25th, 18G3, and were hoaorably discharg
ed. The object is to make the bounty of
this class of soldiers equal to that of those
who subsequently enlisted. Ic also pro
vides for the repeal of a law which allow
ed the master of colored soldiers who en
listed to give these bounties.
JirThe announcement of tbe' commit
tees by Speaker Colfax seem to have given
very general satisfaction among the mem
bers. Ohio and Status westward have 18
chairmanships out of 31, while Pennsyl
vania, New York and New England have
a aiaioiity of important committees. It
is geucrally conceded that the Committee
on Appropriations is a most important one
now that our disbursements are to be wel'
looked aftr. Tha'd. Stevens is just the
man.
3S The Union State Committee met
recently in Philadelphia, and after adopt
ing a memmorial to Congress suggesting
amendments to the Constitution which
should be ratified? before the admission of
the rebel States, and resolutions com
mending President Johnson and Speaker
Colfax, adjourned without fixing a day
for the State Convention. ' It is under
stood that the Committee will meet at
Harrisburg in January, and call a Con
vention to meet in April or May.
to? About three hundred 2d Lieuten
ants are to be immediately appointed in
the regular army. The number will be
equally proportioned among the Congres
sional districts. All applicants must have
served two years in the volunteer ser

from. A board is ia session to examine
the testimonials of Candidate's, and select

HQ, It is stated that the Democratic
candidate for State Senator in New Bed
ford, Massachusetts, at the late election
was a negro, "as black as night's sable
curtain." The Republicans nominated a
white man, in order td catch the votes of
black men, the Democracy put up a ne
gro. But the colored voters eould not be
deluded, and the Republican white man
was elected.
jPaf'Treason should be punished and
made infamous," says President Johnson.
So says every loyal man. The blood of
our martyred Union Soldiers demands it.
If Jeff. Davis is not hung and his name
made infamous, Treason tfill be raised to
respectabi'ity. 'VVe may pity the Traitor,
but the future well-being of the country
demands that he should' nicwt a Traitor's
doom. s

.Mr. Colfax's Speech.
The following is the address duli7ered
by Mr. Colfax on taking the Sneaker's
Chaif in the National IIouss Cf Repre
sentatives :
Gentlemen of the House of Represen
tatives: The reassembling of Congress,
marking as it does the procession ot our
national history, is always regarded with
interest by the people for whom it is to
legislate. But it is not unsafe t say
that millions more than ever lietere.
North, South East &West, are looking to
the Congress which opeus its first session
to day wi'h an caruestuess and solicitude
uueaual'ed on similar occasiuns in the past.
The XXXVlIUh Congress closed its con
stitutional existence with the storm-cloud
of war still lowering over us ; aud, after a
nine months' abseuce, Coueress resumes
its legislative authority iu these council
halls, r joking that from shore to shore in
our land there is peace. Its duties are as
obvious as the sun's pathway in' the heav
ens. Representing iu its two branches
the States and the People; its first and
highest obligation is to guarauty to every
State a republican form of goveruoient.
The rebellion having overthrown the
constitutional State governments iu many
States, it is yours to mature and enact legis
lation which, with the concurrence oi such
a tssis of enduring justice as will guaranty
all neoessary safeguards to the people, and
to afford what out magna charta, the Dec
laration of Independence, proclaims is the
chief object of government, protection to
all men in their inalieuable rights. (Ap
plause.) The world should witness in this
great work the most inflexible fidelity, the
most earnest devotion to the principles of
liberty and humanity, the truest patriot
ism and the wisest statesmanship.' Men by
the hundreds of thousands have diod that
the republic might live. The emblems of
mourning have darkened the White House
and the cabin alike But the fires of civil
war have melted every fetter in the land
and proved the funeral rjyre of slavery. It
is for you, representatives, to do your work
as faithfully and as well as did the fearless
saviors of the Union on their more dan
gerous arenas of duty. Then we may
hope to see the vacant and once abandon
ed seats around us gradually filling up,
until this Hafl shall contain. Representa
tives from every State and district, their
hearts devoted to the Union for which
they are to legislate, jealous of the honor,
proud pf its glory, watchful of its rights
and hostile to its enemies , and the stars
orl our banner that paled when the States
they represented arrayed themselves in
arms against the nation, will shine with a
more brilliant light of loyalty than ever
before. (Applause.) Invoking the guid
ance of Hi til who holds the destiny of na
tions in the hollow of his hand, I enter
again upon the duties ot this tryiig posl- Ground situated in the borough of Perrysville,
tion, with a heart filled with gratitude loj Juniata county, Pa on the north side of Mar
you for the unusually flattering manner in j ket street, adjoining lot of Watson Stuart's
which it has been bestowed, and Cheered
by the hope that it betokens your cordial
support and assistance in all its grave re
sponsibilities. I am now ready to tuko
the oath of office prescribed by law.
