The penalty for accepting an un
stamped check is precisely the same as
for issuing it, viz; $50. The law de
clares that any person who shall make,
sign, or issue, or accept, negotiate, or
pay an unstamped check shall be liable.
If a person has sent to him an un
stamped check he must return it, or
stamp it before he accepts it. Other
wise he violates the law. It is thus seen
that the receiver of an unstamped check
is just as liable for the penalty aad just
as much bound to see that it is stamped
as is the issuer.

What Wi Owl The national debt,
which Is now $2,149,725,277, is not alt
that the oountry owes. Aocording to tha
New York Shipping Gazette, the aggregate
of all the debts of the country, State,
eounty and municipal, added to the na
tional debt, may be summed up as follows:
National debt $2,149,725,277
Bonds to railway companies 04,023 512
Interest on bonds 18,017,743
Unsettled liabilities, estim'td 250,000,00
Slate and municipal 1.000,000,000
Loans.o., by Nat'nal banks' 944,243,804
Loans, &o.. by State banks
&o.,, 61 4,051,390
Loans, &o., by same in 28
States, &o., estimated 1,500,000,000
Individuals to eaoh other,
&e.. essimated 2,000,000,000
Funded, &c, of railroads 1,511,518,9(4
Making a total of $9,952,870,027
This is equal to $248 per capita for the
entire population. But of course it does
not bear equally on all. The nation also
owes, acoording to recent estimates, not'oss
than $250,000,000 on account of unsettled
claims pending before Congress, the de
partments or the courts. On the greater
part of this debt interest is paid at an
average rate of about six per cent. It is
impossible to ascertain how much of this
indebtedness is held abroad. Bonds are
sent abroad and others are sent home at
short intervals. Aside from the national
debt, most of the claims represent material
improvements, although nearly eighty mil
lions of the national debt rtpresents the
priu cipal and interest on railrond bonds
which have been loaned, nnd for which
there are only nominal securities.
The Menoonites continue to come to
this continent from llussia. Six hun
dred have arrived at Halifax on their
way to the Northwest. The account
this party give of themselves and their
hegira is that their forefathers have
lived in the Crimea for upwards of one
hundred years aud the flight Irotn
Russia is because they will not submit
to be made Greek Catholics and ren
dered liable to military service. The
number who contemplate leaviog
reaches forty thousand. Among those
just arrived are members of a commun
ity who havb all their worldly goods iu
common. The father of the head nun
of the brotherhood gives this account of
them;
"We all work at agricultural pursuite;
wo don't smoke; if we drink too much
we are publically reproved in our rclig
ous meetings. YVe Co not use weeding
rings; wo have no divorce; if man aod
wile separate neither is allowed to
marry again. AVe had our own court
for small matters in Russia, but bad to
go before the Russian courts iu matters
of appeal. We have a large number ol
families here, some of them being as
large as eight or ten children. There
are always some very old people among
us, like great-grand-mother l lestcrstahl,
who is about 82 years of age."

Pittsburgh, July 30. Another dis
aster threatens Allegheny City. The
ravine at Butcher's Run is choked up
for some two miles with the contents of
destroyed slaughter-houses and great
quantities of meal and a large number
of bullocks dressed; more than a hun
dred horses and perhaps an occasional
human body are embedded in the mud.
The sun, which has come out hot, has
caused an awful stench, almost over
coming the working parties. The de
bris can hardly bo cleaned this week,
and it the weather coutinues hot, the
breaking out of a pestilence is feared,
as the Butcher's Run district lies in the
midst of a dense population.
Why He Failed. The negro ca
det, Smith, was discharged from West
Point after the last examination, for al
leged deficiency in Philosophy. It is
claimed that this was a mere subterfuge
to get rid of him. Ho makes a strong
case for himself in Fred. Douglas's pa
per. On the other hand Secretary
Belknap refuses to reinstate him, believ
iug that he had a fair examination, and
failed to pass. The New York Sun
sent a reporter to West Point to investi
gate tbe matter, and his report confirms
the Secretary's view of the case. Smith
seemed to be incapable of grasping the
principles of philosophy, and failed to
answer some ot the simplest elementary
questions.

Economy is Thrift.
There is a hint for governments,
State, national and municipal, in the
faot that many of our leading railways,
notwithstanding the falling off in busi
ness, are making larger net gains on
their earnings than in previous years.
The seorct of this is economy of ex
pense. Our governments like our rail
roads have been lately run on expensive
principles. The people will require at
their hands a similar retrenchment in
the salaries of officials and in all the de
tails of government expenditure. In
this connection wo copy from the
Lalijer money articlo the following
paragraph;
Within the last two or three days we
have published most gratifying exhibits
of operations of two of tbe great
railways, the Pennsylvania aud the
Philadelphia and Eric. Wo aro also
in receipt of like showings of railroads
in various other localities. The same
fact is apparent in almost all of them.
While tho gross earnings during the
past six months show a falling off in
amount, the net earnings exhibit iu most
cases a very satisfactory increase This
apparently contradictory result may be
explained by tho fuct that, although the
receipts are less, the greater economy
intro'lueed in the management of the
railroads has more than made up tho de
ficiency. Perhaps the pnnis, over
which so many lamentations have been
made, may be the means ot teaching us
some usclul lessons. When abundant
money is the result of any enterprise we
are opt to forget that in more sense than
one it. is a floatiug capital, and we rush
into all manner of questionable expendi
tures. There is a kind of economy
which destroys efficiency aud sometimes
endangers the security of our roadways
this should be most carefully guarded
against; but there is also an extrava
gance in unnecessary outlays that
absorbs much that would otherwise find
its way into the pockets of the stock
holders. If wo are enabled by economic
arraogemonts to lower the ra'cs ol
freights and travel, wo shall find the re
sult to be very beneficial both to the
railroads themselves and to too com
munity for whoso benefit they arc estab
lished. Tiikkk is much in an artist i j way iu
the August Ai.dinc which will delight
all lovers of the beautiful. Nothing
more graceful or charming has ever been
seen in au American magazine than the
full-page picture called "The Village
Beauty," drawn and engraved by the
eminent French artist, C. Mettais. Tho
flowers aud shrubbery by which she is
surrounded, the naturaluess of the dra
pery iu which the is clothed, the rustic
p;h she treads, the innocent expres
sion of her face, all combine to make a
rare and lovely picture. This work !;as
beeu engraved iu a delicate and exqui
site style, lesemb'ing bank-note cngiav
ings. Jlr. J. ). Woodward con
tributes a series of prand and bold pic
tures of the Palisades cf the Hudson,
some of the most striking scenery in
America. The full-page picture of tho
'Pinnacles of the Palisade" is massive
aud solid in appearance, and will give
the reader a new idea of these great
towers of stone. Two large pictures,
contributed by Peter Moran, called
'The Shady Lane" and "The Sunny
Slope," arc sure to arrest the attention
and please the eye, since they repre
sent pastoral pucues with which all
Americans are familiar. The cattle aud
sheep in the woods, cr Recking the
brotk-side for water, are true to life and
full of the spirit of summer time. A
picture, lull-page, remarkable lor its
light aud shade, its rich foliage, and
deep, clear waters, is from the pencil of
Kruseman van Klten, and is a view ou

Another child was stolen in Phila
delphia, on Wednesday, July 2 2d,
under precisely the samo circumstances
as those conuected with the kidtiappnig
ot Charley Ross. A little boy, just
four years old, whose parents reside at
the corner of Forty-eight street aud
Lancaster pike, but whose name is for
the present withheld, ws approached
by two men in a wagon aud prevailed
upon to get in. Oue of tho men was
black, the other white. The litue oue
readily consented, and no word has
reached tho parents concerning him
since. It is to be booed that the scoun
drels, in both iustance3, may be speedily
discovered and punished as the heinous
ness of their offence deserves. A resort
to Judjje Lynch's ethics is hinted at as
not an improbable result in case of the
arrest of these kidnappers.

Republican Address.
Wo entirely agree in tho opinion of
tho New York Timet that the address
of tho Republican Congressional Com
mittee, just issued, is tho most impor
tant political document of tho year.
Tho address, roviews events sinoo the
accession of the Republican party to
power. The course of the Democrats
prior to 1861 is traced, not without
many cuuslio touches, aod we can quite
imagine that the Democratic press gen.
erally will pronounce tho address to bo
oue of the worst ever issued. The awk
ward point about it is that there is no
getting round its statements.. It deals
with faots, and thero is no answer to
ih oo facts. It shows that the Demo
cratic party did not provide us with
either a capable, powerful, or an econo
mical Government. It left multitudes
of errors to bo corrected, and on every
hand bad woik to be undone. The
great improvements demanded by the
progress of the people were neglected,
and it was not until the Republican
party came into power that these im
provements received adequate attention.
There were an army and a navy, but
the first was officered by men who ''had
been educated iu every soldierly grace
but that of allegiance," and tho latter
was "scattered in remote seas" when the
nation most needed it. "In all these
years," says the address, "the national
character had not raised an inch On
tho contrary, through themallhad fallen
constantly lower and lower." Then
cinio tho remarkable treachery of 18G1,
and the rebellion. From that period
the record of tho Republican party has
been one of almost uninterrupted suc
cess. Tho rebellion was crushed, sla
very was suppressed, public credit has
been maintained, the development of the
country has gone on without cessation,
and at a rate never known before. "It
will require a great deal of rhetoric," re
mark the committee, "to persuade the
country that it is being ruined by a
Jovernment which in thirteeu years has
ndvauccu its credit throughout the
money markets of tho world full thirty
three per cent, and has nearly trebled
its surplus productions." A very strong
appeal for the renewed support "of the
people is made, nud the absurdity of tha
cry "that the mission of tho Republican
party has been accomplished" is shown
Much remains to be done in reformiti!;
the currency, in dealing with the vast
question of transportation, and in secur
ing fast what has already been gained.
We have no doubj. that it will have a
powerful effect in reviving tho old en
thusisasm of tho great partj whose
achievements it recalls.

Tho bodies of the entire Tordcns family

of Mr. Gorman. The body of a little
boy about four years old, was lound

Meadow, Butchers Run. This after
noon some shawls etc, were fouud indi

Returns received at the County Com
missioners office show that twenty
bridges were swept away by the flood m

40,000. In Butchers Run district
alone it is said that twenty million cubic
feet ot water fell in the space of one
hour and a half.
Murder at Port Ali.eoueny, Pa.
From a resident of Port Allegheny,
who camo through on the B. N. Y. &
P, Railway yesterday morning, we have
reaeived tho details of a murder which
took place on Monday night. The vic
tim, Cal. Hobar, was a farmer residing
a short distance from that place. Ou
the night iu question he was in the vil
lage, aud by some means became in
volved iu a quarrel with a party of la
borers engaged on the Jersey Shore'
Pino Crock and Buffalo Railroad, in the
course of which he was struck by one
of tho party with a heavy neckyoke,
fracturing the skull aod inflicting a fatal
wound. He was still alive yesterday,
but his death was hourly expected. The
perpetrator made good his escape, and
at last accounts had not been captured.

An investigation iuto the burial of
Baltimore pnujiers has developed seme
curious facts. A coffin costs the city
iS, and it is alleged that James Nash,
the driver ot the dead cart, has been iu
the habit ol dumping the bodies at Tet
ter's Field, aud taking tho coffins back.
The Supreme Court ot Maine bus
just rendered a somewhat important de
cision relating to the liuWlity of tele
graph companies for errors in the trans
mission of dispatches. Some four
years ao a business firm in tbe State
telegraphed to a firm in Chicago by the
Western Union line for teu thousand
bushels of corn, but the dispatch was
made to read "one thousand," and be
fore the error could bo corrected corn
rosa aud the firm lost niue hundred dol
lars. It was a night messago, aod the
usual agreement that the telegraph com
pany shall not be liable for blunders
was sigued, but tb Court decided that
such a contract, beiug against publio
policy, is voiu, and tneteiore awarded
the amount claimed.
