H«w Ifoitkweiten Boundary Questibnv
It is the ambition of somo of tlio
pf oor Wegtormi’emtoriea 'to load the van-' 4
guard ofclyilization. and they become restive .
and uncomfortablq:’Whenevet’they discover;
that new settlers are removing into ■the wHet
regions tliey iiave selected .for , their boiiioj.
A somewhat sitailarspint of antipathy to. sot
tloments of rivals nationalities contiguous to
frontier districts, animates the American and
British Governments. To both, tho idea of
having a. palpable and formidable.. harrior
to an extension, qf territory orected in the. im
mediate vicibity of their possessions is distaste
till. Thoyh&ve nodisposition ito • remedy the •
supposed evil, however, by. abandoning their
acknowledged..territory,and removing to
more inaccessiblowdda, as. the neighbor-hating
squatters do | but tbeir.disoontent finds vent in
the. diplomatiO raethod of protracted discus-'
sions about’ disputed boundary l questions, in
tensified by occasional throats of appeals to
arms. Eveiy.fuch of frontier territory we ; pos-.
80ss, to, which. Great Britain had at any time
Lthe.shghtest color-of title, has only been won
rfrom-her, after a long’ series: of negotiations,
and bitter controversies: hut we have had in
i former’times. oo many difficulties on such sub-;
| jects. and.hhveiflnslly ratified so many treaties'
•for the " complete adjustment" of them, that,
it was but reasonable to expect that all danger
of lhrthbr misapprehensions.)had boon effec
tually removed.* ..... .. •'
Unfortunately, tills has.not been' the case.-
It was wellunderstood. in adjusting the Oregon
boundary .that the basis : of settlement was to
j’be the forty-ninth degree of latitude i andj
I indeed, great* dissatisfaction was oppressed
| withibat line v for. after our citizens had been
I repeatedly: ag&red that our title,whs “ clesr
[ and uuqueeiionawe" to 64,deg. 40. mm., they
i submitted. with an. ill gracOi to the surrender
I-of the large.’district'lying between ,64 ’deg;.
.40 min. on thenorth.and the 49th degree oh
! the south.:.-It . was discovered, howovor, that
i if the hue agreed upon was run out straight, it
would cut off the southern end of Vancouver’s
i Island, which had always been in tho possession
rof Great Britain, and it was therefore agreed
[ that the forty-ninth paral lcl should only be
I tbe.boundiuy lmo botween tho two nations as
far.west as the “ middle of the main channel ”,
Which separated Vancouver, from the shore;
that then 'the: boundary should follow that
channel far enough south to exclude Van
couver- and thence shonld run due west to
the ocean. This arrangement was supposed
to he so explicit at tho time tho treaty ,was
framed- that only one interpretation conld be
giver! to.it: > bat it has since been ascertained
that there’ are >two channels between Van
couver'and’the main shore.- viz: the Canal
-de Haro and the Rosario Straits. If, as our
| Government maintains, tho treaty should be
construed to refer to the Canal de Haro chan?,
I ncl- the islands of. San Juan or Bellevue, Or
| cas- Lopez, and others, which ho b etween the
i two channels: belong to the United btates>lf,
i on the Other hand: tho treaty is to be construed
- according to the British - interpretation, to re
fer to the Bosario Straits channel, which lies
nearest thj> shore of Oregon, the islands belong
to Great Britain. . While it is trne that the two
channels above mentioned exist, the Ameri
cans contend that the Canal de Haro is ,clearly,
tho deepest: best: and’most direct, and.thero
forei necessarily the one - referred to as the.
t< main channel " in the treaty. On the other
hand, the British allege that the islands in dis
pute have always been-regarded as appendages
i toVencouver’a Island : thatftliey aro:aa noto
nously a pqrt oi tbo Briti*h dominions as Van:
conver itself: and that, therefore, tho channel
’ referred to in-the treaty is the Bosario Straits.
Sisco-the large i emigration to tho Fmsor
river gold mines:-and the rapid growth ol
population on Vancouver, the islands.ln dis
pnto have become quite valuable, and hence
the prestint .difficulty. San Juan contains
sixly-flve square miles of territory, which is
very fertile. ■ It is. besidos. rendered important
by its commercial position, and. by thp-nstunil
advantages It possesses for a commanding, mi
litary station. It also contains a largo number
of American settlers.

• , WASaiNOTOK, Sept. 7, 1859.
Washington,as you aro aware, is the residence of
moat of the members of tbo foreign diplomatic oorpu.
They live here quietly, and moat of them greatly l
at their ease.'' The present British minister, Lord-
Lyons, occupies the reoent residence of Lord Na
pier, on H, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets. J He Is a quiet, unpretending gentleman, a
thorough Englishman in his habits and manners,
and is about forty-two years of age. His salary is
$22,500 per annum. Lord Lyons has beon attach*
to the embassy at Athens, next secretary of lega
tion, and late minister to Florence. Ho has a se
cretary of legation and two attaches. Count de
Sartiges, the French minister,- resides on George
town Heights, He isgroatly esteemed here, al
though somewhat ecoentric, standing, high in the
favor of his Imperial master, Napoleon the Third,
and wielding considerable influence in society at
! this pofnt. There are two secretaries of legation,
an attache, and a chanctlUr connected with this
! mission.. Count de Sartiges la now on a visit to his
I native, oountry. .The Hussion minister, Mr. Ed
, ward de Stoeokel, resides on G, corner of Twenty
| first street. Mr. Waldemar de Bodisoo, his seoro
| tary oflegation, is the nephew of the late well-known
i Mr.. Bodisoo who occupied the position of
, Russian minister for many years at this
i point, having married, an accomplished lady,
. a native of Georgetown, who is now at St. Petors
bargwitb her children, near the court of the Em
peror-Alexander. - Mr. Theodore Marinas Roest
Van Limburg* minister resident of the Netherlands,-
married to, the accomplished Miss Cass some two
yoars ago, lives on F street, oorner of Twentieth.
The Spanish minister, Benor Don GabrielGaroia y
\ Tassara, one of the m<st popular of. all the foreign
! legations, occupies- a handsome building on I,
between,Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. Baron
Fr. Yon -Gcrolt is still the Prussian minister,
though I believe he is now absent, leaving Baron
Vpn Grabow in ©barge of the business,of the lega
tion. Austria still .continues to retain Chovalior
Hulsemann, famous in the recollection pf the coun
try on aoconnt of his celebrated contest with
Daniel Webster. Mexico is represented by Seßor
Mata; Belgium by H. de Bosoh Spencer; Den
mark by y\7 de Itoaaloff;. Sweden by .BaronWod
. derstedt; Sardinia' by the Chevalier Bertlnatti,
and the Two Sicilies by Commander A. Ferrer.
I There, are • others unnecessary to mention,, alto
gether making up quite a society of itself. In the
order of tilings it frequently happens that mar
riages take place between thpp® personages and
| American ladies. *
The contest between the spirit of rowdyism and
; that oflaw endorder In the city.of Baltimore pro--
grosses with- considerable animation. It deserves
more than a passing because if the eitisens
shall fail in reitoripg order, it,witipnly.be another
evidence that the government of. pgr largo touujoh
patities eannot.ba successfully oonduoted upon the
present syitom,' It la, almost Incredible that, in a
community where newspapers fire printod, and
Bchoola, and: ohurohei, established, men should bo
found, not exoeptionaily, but in masses, littlo re
moved from brutes;, men not merely-led to sadden
excesses by liquor or political excitement, but in
the habit <?f committing murder and robbery in nil
their varipiip phases. JjTor i>» this alt; but that
educated genUomen should he found to en
courage and to yield to such infinencps |S tjip worst
aspect of things in Baltimore. ,
We of . Washington have suffered considerably
from this revolting and riotous spirit. A few years'
ago it was unsafe for poaoenble' citizena, to vote.
; Our pieetjops. were controlled by wild and uugo

reigns in Warsaw.” Much of. these good results
are to be attributed to the wise and vigorous ad*
ministration of the mayoralty by James 4. Borrot,
Esq. How far it Would bo prudent to apply? this
remedy to Raltimoro, I am unable to say. Tho

Gwltl leading the two divisions of the Democratic
party, Colonel js„D,Bpker, formerly an Opposition
momboj* from Illinois, at the head of the Republi
cans, and Mr. Lathagi, well known hei6M a mem
ber of the House some three yaarp ago, canvassing
the State as the Administration candidate ftp Go-,
yornor. Tho obarges preferred by Messrs; Bro.
derlok and Gwin against each other aro so extra
ordinary that fearsentertained that a perso
nal collision was inevitable. Roth fife brave men,
both have some experience in tbo use of deadly
weapons. The, duel between Mr. Broderick and the
eon pf the Hon. William Smith, now Representative
in Gongress from the Alexandria (Va.), district, is
familiar to most of your readers. . Tball of Mr.
Smitii’s pistol struck tijo w of Senator Rrodo
riok, dostroyiegits works.and rendering itentirely
useless, but, while it, stopped the watoh, it eayed
the life pf the Senator. Mr, G win’s accomplished
wlfo and daughter have lately returned from
White Sulphur Springs, after taking part In the
elegant amusements at . that plaoe. Mr. Bro

SENATOR DOUGLAS AT COLUMBTJg, OHIO,
' r SPEECH; or mr.douglab;
, OoLUitEtrS, Ohio>\Sept, Douglas wag
rooelyod at the depot this .nioraing by tho military
and a large orowd of citizens, and was oscorted to
his hotel. Daring tho intorim between hia arrival
and tho delivery We spoeoh, ho was waited upon
by a large number of tho oitizons of this and many
other adjoining counties # • v - •
Attwo b’olook this afternoon ML Douglas made
his appearance, and was received with much en
thusiasm. He immediately proceeded with his re
marks, of wMoh;tho following is an abstract:
‘ Judge Douglas said that the Republican party,
in their platforni, adopted at Philadelphia In 1856.
assert the poworAnd doolare it the ‘duty of Con
gress to prohibit slavery in all the Territories.
Tho Demooratio party aro pledged, on tho other
hand, by their platform, to the doctrine of non-in
tervention and popular sovereignty in tho Territo
ries. .
, Now Mexico and Kansas, by. the acta of the Ter
rUorial.LogUlaturos, present eases now for Con*
grbssional intervention with thoir domostio affairs,
which vrill.put the advocates of intervention and
non-intervention, North and South, to the tost. .
’ New.Moxioo, which refusecHor a'overal years after 1
’ the organization of a Territorial Government to in
troduce or protect slavery, passed a law in 1858\)
rocogniso and- protect slavery in that Territory. I
Kansas, at tho first session of tho Territorial Logia- |
latuveiin 1855, passed a vory stringent law “to !
punish offenoos against slave property,” by which
slavery was introduced, and ‘‘ adequate.proteotion”
given to it in (h&t Territory'. In 3858, however, the
slave oodevrap repealed.by. an not passed February
Oth, and all protection to slave property withdrawn '
ana denied. ‘By. this unfriendly legislation slavery
had been excluded from the Territory of Kansas.
Now the Northern interventionists ; are pledged
by thoir Republican platform to repeal the slavo
code in' New Mexioo, and prohibit slavery by act
of Congress, while the Opposition inKentucky, and
tho Southern interventionists generally, aropledgcd
by tbeir.priuciples to intervene and protect slave
property in the Territory of Kansas.
1 Those issues must and will bo met by the Demo*
cratlc party. '[Applause.] Non-intervontion and
popular sovereignty must ho maintained, as well in
New Mexico as In Kansas. [Continued cheering.]
If Now Mexioo wants a slave code, let her have it.
If New Mexico has laws for tho protection of slave
property, so bo it. ' If Kansas will not have a slave
code nor slavery, Congress must not force hor peo
ple to acoept either. [Applause.]
. Northern and Southern interventionists agree
that slavery in tho Territories is a rightful subject
of Congressional legislation, hut dlnor as to tho
character of suoh legislation. Each insist that
Congress should intervene in favor of thoir partic
ular section, and against the other section, in vio*
lation of the rights of tho people most interested
to decide the question of slavery for themselves.
Aooordisg to tho doctrine of the interventionists,
North and South, slavery is not only a rightful
subjeot of Congressional legislation, but is depen
dent upon the Federal authority for Us existence
and protection’; consequently subject to Federal
regulation and control. The'Southern interven
tionists .contend that the whole power of the Fedo*
ral-Government should ho exerted for the protec
tion of slavery In‘the Territories,'and the North
ern interventionists that the same powor should be
exerted for,its destruction.
The Democratic party, in opposition to the inter-'
ventlonists of both sections, hold that slavery is a
State institution, and that it exißts in the slave-'
holding States ‘‘ under the laws thereof,” and not
by virtue of the Constitution of tho United States.
That slavery, therefore,' js beyond tho roach or
control of the Federal authority for good or ovil,
except’ in the single ease of fugitive slaves, who
must bo delivered up. Tho Democratic party were
sustained in these principles by tho decision of the.
Supreme Court in tho “Bred Scott”case. The
Demooratio party afro pledged to tho prlnoiplo of
-popular ‘ sovereignty-rhy which tho people of. the
organised Territories, “ tike those of a State, shall
deolde for thomflelvqs whether slavery shall or
shall not exist within thoir limits.”
Those who insist that the, first “ handful of set-.
tlo«” should not dooido tho slavery, question in
the Territories, should vote against the organiza
tion of Territories until thoy have sufficient popular
tion for a political oommunity capable of self-go
vernment in all thoir domostio oonoorns.' No go
vernment should be established for any people who
are not qualified by numbors, and in all other ro
spoots, to logislate for themsolves on all rightful
subjects of legislation, subject only to the Consti
tution of the United States. When Territorial
' Governments are established, the people will legis
late for themselves, will form their own domestic
institutions; and Ir their legislation oonfliot, with
the Constitution, it! will present a judicial question
for the oourta to dotermino, to whose decision all
law-abiding citizens will and must submit.
The Territories must be Open to settlement to
the people of all the States, slave States as well as
free StptPS. Thu system of emigration fostered
and encouragod by Emigrant Aid oooietlos. for tho
purposo of • controlling Territorial legislation, 1 is a
fraud upon the elective franchise, and designed to
subvert and destroy the principles or self-govern
ment. None but ftotnal Inhabitants,: who have
abandoned their citizenship ondaliogl&noo in their
respective States, and settled in a Territory in good
faith, to make it their permanent home, have a
right to a voice or vote in the legislation of the
Territory. [Applause.] ’

between freedom find slavery,” fawst bo‘emphati

* The surrender of fugitive slaves is a dutylmposod
by the Constitution, and all who are for law and
for the Constitution must be faithful to that con
stitutional obligation. The opposition and resist
ance to tho fugitive-slave aet in the North begot a
lilf-o opposition to, and violation in the , South of
th‘e laws against the African slave trade. The vio

Mr. Busktrk offored a resolution of inquiry relative to
tho statistics of the various institutions represented;
their metliod of operation; the government of th 9 pri-'

A committoo of five' gontiomen was appointed to ar

ternoon.
An \nvitfttion from the mnnayersof tho House of Re- 1
fuge, inviting the Convention to visit their institution,’!
war reau ami accepted. I
The Convention then adjourned until the afternoon* 1
' AFTERNOON SKSStOV. ' I
\The Convention opened its sessions with prayer, by 1
the Hey/James Wright. I
Dr, H. jB. Biddlo.presented[the report ofth« commit- {
tee to prepare business for the Convention. The report I
set forth that the committee deemed the- objects of the |
Convention would bo best promoted by bringing before {
its consideration the, general subject of prison disci- I
puno, with especial reference to three points, which I
they proposed for discussion—viz: What are thereto- I
tive advantages of the separate and congregated systems 1
in promoting the moral reform of the prisoners; with i
reference to their health, and as regards the economy I
of .their maintenance?- The committee further recom- I
mended the formation of an American Association for I
the improvement of Prison Discipline,- and that com- I
puttees be appointed to report upon topics of interest at 1
its next meeting, which shall take place in tho oity of I
New York,, on the first Thursday of September, 1800. I
_The motion,to adopt this report led to some debate. |
Uwas decided to invite the board of inspectors of the I
Eastern Penitentiary, ns that institution wm notrepre- I
•The question foT discussion coming up, Mr. Glenn, of I
the Bing Sing Prison, said he thought a large portion of (
the people outside of the prison misapprehended tho I
purport of the congregate system. The rule of that |
prison was that no conviot should converse with jiisfel- |
low. It was found to be, however, utterty impossible to I
S revent communication,ami this factw&s assorted in l
le last report of the Sing Sing inspectors. Ifr found it }
impossible to proserve this rule. As a fact of this, a re- |
volt har) been planned by the convicts, a day set, and ]
everything ;&rrangod, although there was ne osteiiai- |
bio conversational intercourse. He had heard it said |
that soljtude was sad. but communion was' devilish. I
He was in favor of solitude, for when erinunats are per- I
rnitted to ininelo corruption would certainly eOsue. He I
held that, order tho congregate system, moral corrnp- |
turn,was pertain. In fiing sing nine oiitef (Bn of the 1
tnen discharged from that place are, to a ten-fold do-1
croe, more the children of hell than .when they entered. !
Judge Jtusseli denominated Bmg sing, a university of J
crime, end -the speaker’s experience supported this]
enunciation, it was almost certain that when a man I
entered prison wider the congregate system ha was car- {
tarn to be an mhabitantof that prison until the dav of I
his death. A corrupt mm hated solitude, and dreaded !
nothing .mure, Afl that was wanted was to plnoo the
convict m a position where ho could seo into his own
heart, and recoil at his wickedness. Under the Auburn
or congregated system multitudes of convicts wore
driven back to prison because there was no place for,
them to hide frorn the associations they formed in prison.
Mr. Glenn continued at some length, oritlcismg tho ef
fects of tjie congregated system.
Mr. Haines, of MafcsaehueetU, asked if the political
opimpns of inspectors were allowed to influence tho
appointment and removal of koopers.
“ Mr. Glenn, replied that such was the case to a limited
exto.nt, but it never influenced at ail the result of the
discipline.
Mr. Haines said he thought it wos impossible to build
ft prison Whore ftiotieoald not communicate. It did not
follow that beoause twe hundred men wore in prison,
they were the worst men in the community. He hardly
thought that communication was always demoralizing.
Ho regretted that Bing Bing was in such a bad ennditton
as represented, and he did not think it was at all a fair
oxamnte ofthe Auburn srstem. * >
. Dr Diddle asked Mr. Glenn the sanitary effect of the
solitary system as contrasted with the congregate sys
tem.
Mr. Glertn said that he was certain the sanitary effect
of the solitary cysteta Wes bettor than that of the Con
gregate. 'Tnsr§ Whre nigye insane epnricts, prnportion

Mr. Haipeg ?ai(}, ip the Charlestown prison there was
hut one ipwqe lyaw timotu five hundred convicts. In
the Massachusetts prison the Oply punishment is solita
ry confinement. Jn the congregate srstem a lrtnn gets a
perfect knowledge of a good trade. In a solitary system
the trades aro very confined, as the convicts aro re
stricted, to weaving or making shoes. He never had
known Aquae.Whore a released 'convict was injured by
meeting another a (tor leaving prison.
Mr.BeaUm, of Mulngan, had always looked up tn
the Now'York pnsous as models, and accordingly he
was panted to hear such a bad account of Bin? Sing.
As far aa health ip concerned, prisoners improve for the
first two or three yours, and lifter that they generally
sink into a denjiuo. There was very (ittfe> insanity,
among them. He stated that a prisoner in hielnstitu
tion named Baton, came to turn before hie departure and
Asked fbr.K certificate slating that'he had boOn in pri?
son. When questioned 'as to the reasonsfo'r his singu
lar request/hq stated that if ho had such attachment he
could take ib to Rhiinaelphta and got an immediate ap
pointment on the police. iMughter.} r •
.Mr. JL. D. Evans, 6f Maryland, was satisfied that
tho congregate system was bettor for the health of con
victs. Ho did not think the Bing ging Prison was a fair
exafyipjo of t)tb efleets of tho oonkregate system. In
Maryland tfjero was such Qjystem, but the prison was
not of such aoharaoter as Sine Bing. - In punishments
they wore very severe, Sometimes thirty stripes, and
ten .days inadarkdeU'onbread nmfrwater, a bail and
chain, &o.t are employed, and but rarely. In feeding
the prisoners they took great care. They gave the pri
soners vegetables every day, in season, as they found it
necessary for their health. Jlwas rather remarkable
that, during the past year, out of 100 discharged. 4 were

of nitratoof soda, as a manure for wheat. In England it

Dr. Elwyn stated that, at five cents a pound, it was an
expensive material, and was little used.
In response to the same inquiry, as to {ho effects of
common salt, a member stated that a neighbor of his

&A gentleman inquired why it'was that opltop-sood oit

The reply was tlmt'cotton-seed oil cakCjs largely made
injhg South, and is thonoo shipped to England.
The Pidtp4®nt read a statement that the prioo or oot
ton-seed oil cake is s£) per ton. Being dearer than corn
meal, add also more expenstyp than flaxseed cake, it is
not brought to this market. , . , , .
Mr. Fisher thought that, being mere refuse matter,

general Appearance of the oourt room was greatly im
proved )68torday,“by the -Appearance therein of tho
genial countenance of a member of the bar who has
been reoruiting during the post few weeks in various
watering places. This, gentleman was on band with his
ever-reaay smile and kindly word, and was warmly wel
comed bock, by his Ipgal brethren, to. the scene
of so many of his professional triumphs. Otherwise the
.proceedings of the session were of the usual dullness—a
fact which .probably accounts for the somnolent disposi
tion xnamlestjd by two of the reporters throughout the
entire day. • - --
The first cose palled op by the District Attorney was
one in which & man named Thomas Cramer was charged
with the larceny of a horse', valued at GlfiO. The prose
entor, it appeara-eavo the defendant the horse in ques
tion to be sold. The defendant sold the horse, and, A
difficulty arising betweeq the parties, he refused to pay
over the amount due. District Attorney Mann said the
caso was not one of larceny, and therefore he asked an
acquittal of the defendant. Verdict not guilty.
William Keene was charged with committing an as-'
sault and battery upon Samuel rush. Tlip defendant is
about eighteen or nineteen years old. and is apprenticed
i to tho prosecutor for the purpose of learning the paper-'
i hanging business. The defendant was engaged in paper
| mg a house forono of Mr. Pugh’s customers, when, it is
alleged/ he took a demijohn of liquor. The prosecutor,
I reprimanded him fur doing so, and told him that he (Mr.
Pugh) believed he took it there for the purpose of drink-
I ing the liquor wjnle papering the house. -A disturbance
| thenarosj>, during which the assault on&battery was
committed. •
I The defendant alleges that the ppseoutor struck the
I first blow, and therefore be was justified in striking him,
I as itwnsd(mein self-defence. A number of witnesses
wero called and testified to the good character of the
I defendant, and also that they had nevor known him to
be in a disturbance boforttn® time of this occurrence,
in the progress of the case several sallies of humor
passed betweon General Hubbell, counsel for tho de
fendant, add E. Key, Esq., oounsel for the proseoutor.
The General argued that the boy, when accused of
taking liquor to hts working places, was greatly aggra-
I rated, and that the evidence showed brutal conduct on
I tho part of the roaster. Mr. Key-contended dhat the
I reference which had been made to the liquor was no
I cause to anger Keeno, and that he (the counsel) had
| often himself been spoken to by a friend ou the subject
{ of drinks, and that, instead of ill-feelings haring been
i thus engendered, the onlyresult waaaroutual “smile.”
»e Ludlow', in charging the jury, made some well
remarks on the apprentice systep), and said, that
j in hi* opinion, many of the evils by which society is af
| meted were directlyconqoquent upon the neglecioftho)
I .masters to exercise proper authority 1 over thoßa to whom
I during the period of apprenticeship the? stand in the
] same relation as a parent to a child. Ho would dosire to
t see a great rofomiinstituted in the community in this

i shoulQ'be trained to uqelul apd honorable pmnhood. Af

replied, “ he had hie. two lt was evident that
tho prosecution originated in unworthy motives, and

Francis Haggerty was acquitted of a-charce of as

Esq., appeared for the defence, apd showed to tho satis
faction of the jury the unblemished character of his
client, which was deemed by tho jury sufficient proof to
show that he “ had his quarrel just.” •

house m Front afreet, betweep Spruce and Fine streets.
The defendant is a fiqtel-keeppr» anu it is alleged that
scenes of disorder were of frequent occurrence at his

Not far from four • millions ,nbd a .half on whioh to earn

stated atmor* tnanLthoaß of the Wiuinmsport and El

num overC uiual expenses of rrmnins, repairs to tmok,

pay interest on a million and a hair of capital/ and any
arrangement vhioh looks to the payment of more than
that may be suocesafaL under an improved state of the
trade or the road, but will briny renewed embarrass- .
nient In the event of such an improvement being de rf
la you, or from any other cause not realized. : .
./The true plan for the arrangement of the affairs of the
Catatnssa company seems to ns to be found in a reduc
tion ofits bonded indebtedness, upon a lair scale, to a
new basis,amounting in the whole to a million'and a
half of debt, bearing six per cent, interest. The sacri
fices involved m each n reduction would not be greater
than the boldom of the several bonds, and other obliga
tion? would suffer by a resort to litigation. The earn-,
ings of the company for the first two or three years
might bd Wkejt to,pay aucfrbortiane of cash as would be
found absolutely nocessatr for carrying' such a plan into
operation* and the bondholders* wbowqold ibe depnved

very valuable, and so situated now as to bo productive
and accessible .to market. .. * ',,
j The sacrifices made by the bondholders* and the hold
ers of the floating debt, in consolidating thetf interests
; in a new mortgage for a' million and > half of dollars.
! which should be the sole inourabrance on the;road, and
waiting for a couple or years for interest to continence
thereon) might fairly be compensated by shares in such
, a preferred atook.tue speoifio basis wheroof'shouJd be
1 tho coal lands and Ouakake stock of the company. The
stockholders would lie no worse off than they are now,
and the bondholders in coming intosuch an arrangement
would obtain an interest-earning security for a fancy
one, worth, in tho market, quite as much in its new I
1 shape aait can over' be hoped to -bring with its present
embarrassments about it. :
When the Quak&ke road Shall realizo the slowing pre
dictions of Senator .Cameron and President Tucker, the
proferred stock* if it is made, will be l'ery valuable—
meanwhile the earnipgs of tbacoaUands in the liands
of lessees will make it a reapootable security. l
The affairs of the Catawisaa Railroad Company will be
the-next subjeot of financial consideration after the
Williamsport and Elmira 2Uut***d affairs are straight
ened out, and we take occasion* tlierefore, thus to offer
our views in adyance as to how a ihir ■ottlameut may be

Mors New- IypßovjsiiENTJ is Stoves.—We
need seareely inform prudent, housekeepers ‘that the
season is at band for putting up 'stoves, and getting
horaes in proper trim fora cold snap, whenever dame
Nature in her freaks of wind' and weather miy render
the preparation for such an emergoney^necessary. It is
hardly to be doubted that this timely suggestion, in con
nection with tho e'aptioßsibf this article,-has already
brought to the mind of many of our roaders tbq name of
the well-known stove genius of our city, Mr. Jomes
Bpoar. Surely, if thero is an individual Uviiig who is
achieving more sucoowful stride! than any other to
wards making his name a familiar houiehold word at
every fireside, it is Mr. Spear. Giftod with a high order
of inventive talent, his “ patent right" certificates from,
the Department at Washington have oorae to be a mat
ter of almost monthly repetition. ■ '
One of tho latest of his Invention!—the letters patent
for whioh were shown to us yesterday, and of whioh we
desire more partionlarly here to Speak—is a Verr in
genious improvement no has roeently made upon the
celebrated “Silver’* Air-tight Gas-burning Parlor
Stove, ** in the shape of an ornamental Uni, so arranged
upon the top of the store as at once to greatly enhance
its beaqty, and; reader its operations as on te'pnomital
gas-eonsuumtr much moro perfect than soy other par
lor stove now in use. To the same stove—which he has
also had patented—he has added still another improver
meat In the form of a metallic ring on the top of the
cylinder, inside thestove, whioh entirely obviates a dif
ficulty heretofore arising iVom the accumulation of ashes
between oylinder and the outer plate. By his pre
sent inrentioga of ail* from without is intro
duced through the door-frame, which, becoming heated
in its passage, escapes into tjie fire-chamber of theetove,
ny whioh means the oombusbon of all the
from the coal iamosVperfoctly secured, and of courso a
great a&ving.of fuel attained.. . . v !
Mr. <Spaar’B'Gas»burnmg GookingStoVe/ and. Ranges,'
of which we have already spoken approvingly, and of
which he ha* now an oxtensive new stock on band at.
bis establishment, No. 1116 Market street, are still jh-*
creasing in favor with the public every day,*of which we
. are happy to know Mr. S. is receiving substantial proof.
The addition to theso recently of adouble hollow oentre
piece, perforated on the under side, has also greatly im
proved them:' Of this truly ingenious now feature we
may have something to say in future. We may also add*
before closing, that Mr. Spear has lately added several
valuable improvements to his popular “ Railway-oar
Jfpqter,’' which have also been patented; •:
O Tea “Irvixo.’*—The firstmeetirg
of the season of tba Jrring Literary .Institute, was he'd'
at their oommodioua rooms, Eighth arid Spring Garden
streets, on last Tuesday evening, The attendance was
good,- and, tho spirit ip. a hifssted by, its.jaoless talented
than ambitious young members was a favorable indie*
tion of the raoy Jittery sparks that are likely to be
evolved from that ootorie of IJteraii inembryo during the
coming season.' We learn that they have eisoresolved
to “goip” on the “Lecture-course” question, which
we are bonqd to say from present-indications, l to use a
phrase 1 more expressive than elegant, ts Hkqly to be
“ run in the ground" most effectually during the winter
of lS$9-’6O. Tho successful]/oung orator of this associa
tion, Mr. George Harry Davis, whose creditable! produc
tions fiava won for him flattering compliments bn seve
ral occasions, has recently been elected President of the
Society. His administration wiildoubtless be character
istically brilliant.
Noo.v-dat Prayer Meeting.—These mootings,
since tlieir'return’fo Jayne's Halt, have boon very
largely increased in their attendance. The room was
yesterday neatly‘filled* and the exqreisos were of a
deeply solepifi *qd interesting character. They hare
now been in existence nearly two years without inter
mission, and their spirit and uniform interest through
out havo the best proof of tho practicability of
this religions enterprise. Thero' can bo no question
that the noon-day business-men’s prayer mooting has
really become what it professes to be, a “ permanent in
stitution,’* %
Opdsixo op Milunbet.*—By rcferenco to our
advertising columns 10-day, it will be seen that Messrs.
Lincoln. Wood, &■ Nichols, No. 725 Chestnut street, will
hold their first opening pf millinery, of the season, at
their splendid row establishment tb-uay, The mere
announcement of this foot will be sufficient, we know,
to indupe the ladies of our metropolis to direct their
stops, en tnasst, to examine the handsome things, in
which ladies are supposed to bo always interested, at
this opening to-day. .
IVITAT THE PtfUrJCATIOKS SAY OP OUR

Store of Rockhill (c Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut
