THE question of vacating numerous
streets .to accommodate the Pennsylvania
Railros i i Company, did not come up in the
Counci yesterday, as was generally an
ticipated. The new Councils:will have to
dispose Or the tangled questions arising
from the. presented propositions, as with
yesterday's meeting the
, functions of the old
bodies`ceased, unless a special ineetinebe
arranged before the first of January. .
THE Convention of loyal but disfran
chised colored citizens of Pennsylvania,
new being held in this city, is a body which,
in point of intelligence, will favorably com
pare with any ever held in these parts.
Thd delegates come from all parts of the
State, and have been judiciously selected
by large constituencies to put forward their
claims for the ballot in Pennsylvania. The
proceedings' yesterday were marked with
strict order, harmony and good feeling, and
the busines transacted was of a very inter
esting character. The colored people of the
State are gravely in earnest on the suffrage
question, and will press things, to accom
plish the desired end, with perseverance and
vigor.
' SIMATOB MORTON estimates the present
stock of gold in the country at not less than
$500,000,000. Indeed, he thought it, in
fact, might be $572,000,000. The Commer-
Ofa and' Financial .Chronicle. (very high
authority, by the bye,) . regards the Bena
tor's estimate as extravagantly erroneous,
and presents the data which show the present
stock of coin in the Atlantic States to he'
not over $160,000,000. Adding.to the stock
of 1861, ($165,000,000), the amounts pro
duced from our own mines since, ($485,-
000,000) and the importations, ($141,000,-
000) -we have a total of $791,000,000, of
which $563,000,000 have been exported dar
ing that period, and some $70,000,000 more
has been used up in plate and jewelry.
THE OPTEILISM of our venerable Secreta
ry of State concentrates upon himself, Of
late, and he has no longer that generous
charity for the rest of the world t which has
heretoiore commanded the admiration of
his countrymen. Everything goes wrong
with Mr. SEWARD now—except himself.
The hitch in his Alabama negotiations he
charges altogether npon his perverse Minis
ter at London. • Denmark bullies him with
its demand that he shall pay for her West
Indian Wands as he agreed, -and he despair
ingly points to an obstinate Congress which
denies him a dollar. Let us make some kind
allowances• for, the badgered Official who,
animated unquestionably by the purest mo
tives, finds himself plunged in inextricable
difficulties. The Secretary of State is in
bad company. There is his real trouble.
Were he a paragon of statesmanship, or'
even an angel of light, he would still fail
in his desire to commend either the foreign
or the domestic policy of the .1;1:Isis - mow Ad
ministration to his countrymen. Indeed,
if he were really a paragon or angel, he'
would long since have abandoned the effort
in disgusts,
ONE OF THEM.
Among "the jobs which the lobby has or-
ganized at Washington, for the purpose, as
GRANT says, of "depleting the National
Treasury," is a beautiful little project fora
shipcanal around the Falls of Niagara, on
the American side. Compared with a large
number of other jobs now on the slate, this
little bill is really Insignificant—for it mod
estli propOses to appropriate only $12,000,
000. But it is only justice to that particular
"ring" to state "that the modesty' : of their
preliminary dip into our money-bagsis in
tended to be fully compensated by the later
appropriations,which a subsequent Congress
will find itself committed to, for the sake of
"coinpleting" the work.
Taking the slarm, from that awakening
public sentiment to Which the, President
elect has just given such gratifying expres
sion, the enterprising, speculators, who are
engineering the gigantic . raids _upon., the
Treasury, -crwhich..::thia ship . :canal , bill is
but an humble type , will ,donbtlest put a

PreliminSry figures along the Whole line.

propositions, for`sub es of whatever na;

_figures which have been
hitherto named as the ostensible limit of the,
entire cost to the public in each case, and
content themselves with the smaller appro
priations which shall seem to add but little
to our obligations, and yet will answer all
their purposes, as entering wedges, for the
completer scheme Of plunder. A million or
two, thus appropriated to each, makei the
thing just as sure for its projectors, since it

meal plundering, the end of which no man
can predict. ' ,
The ahip.cluial bill, aboVe alluded'to, is
the special order In the House, for the 12th
Of January. It is to serve as the pioneer
measure in the great subsidizing raid, and
the other projects coming after it will stand
or fall as this - does. The people propose to
pay particular attention to the course of
their representatives in the premises, and
the votes by 'yeas and nays will have a spe
cial interest: -
THE ALABAMA' CLAIMS.
We copy a stateraent of the new Ameri
can position relative to these claims, as that
position is likely to be maintained by a
working majority of the Senate, and as it is
reported by . a correspondent usually well in
formed:
First—The British 'government must ad
mit its pecuniary liability for the depreda
tions of the Alabaina, Shenandoah, Florida
and &tinter, and agreti to pay an amount of
money - which shall be determined by a
joint commission, to be hereafter appointed.
Second—A commission of four members
shall be agreed upon; each nation appoint
ing two, and these jointly selecting an um
pire.
Third—This commission shall adjust all
claims presented to them-by American citi
zens which arose out of tho depredations
committed by any of the above named pri
vateert, and shim investigate each case, and
decide what amount of money is due for
said claims.
Fourth—After this class of claims are
settled,. the commission shall pass upon all
other Classes of claims by American citi
zens against England from 1853 up to the
present time.
This differs from the basis of settlement
which the diplomatists have included in
•their protocol, in these points. Ist, That
the British liability for the depredations of
the rebel privateers escaping frOM their
ports :must be fully conceded; 2d, that
these claims shall oe the first to engage the
attention of the Commission; and 3d, that
any and all claims held by Encffish subjects,
against our Government, are entirely ex
cluded from the consideration of the Com
missictn. The first and• third are the only
material points of difference. The former
is already substantially admitted, although
the English government affects to insist
upon a pieliminary examination of interna
tional law upon that point, by disinterested
and competent publicists. The third point,
however, is such • as to put an amicable and
equitable adjustment of all pending contro
versies, in the nature of mutual claims for
damages, altogether out of the question.
The sincere friends of President Ginerr
will remember that it is his administration
which is to be responsible for the adjust
ment of these perplexing questions. It is
now clear that no such adjustment can be
attained in the very brief period of office
remaining to Mr. JonassON and his Cabinet
It is - well, therefore, to consider carefully
what we shall ask General GRANT and-his
advisers to insist upon. Shall the new
President be required to insist upon the sat
isfaction of our own claims, and at the
same time forbidden to concede a dollar of
those just claims which English subjects
might be able to establish ag4 dust us? That
requirement would be neither just in itself,
nor stand the remotest prospect of being re
alized. We are as much bound to liquidate
the equitable demands of the other party, as
to insist upon full satisfaction of our own,
claims from them. And, upon any other
programme than this, especially upon the
one-sided proposition for which the support
of a majority of our Senate is thus claimed,
the American people cannot, and should not
desire to, stand juStified in the judgment of
Christendom.
Thrice armed in a:just cause, offering the
same equity as we in turn demand, evading
none of our own reasonable responsibilities,
but in good faith proposing, to the great
power with which we deal, - the substantial
settliment of all matters in dispute, of what
ever origin and by whichever claimed, we
shall be entitled, in all the interests of na
tional honor and of the peace of the world,
to the consentingopprobation of every other
civilized people. •
To ask more than that from England, or
less than that from our own incoming Exec
utive, is, not only to deserve but to ensure
a failure. 'ls this necessary ? Is it pat to
ourealvesoa Gen. GIANT, or to the people
with which we deal ? '
Let Senators cotimlit the new Alkninig"
tration,if they will, to the most prompt and
categorical enforcement of our righteous de
mends upon England, for. the vast mischiefs
which were inflicted upon us by her inex
cusably, illegal connivance in the rebel pri
vateering.' Let teem make the claim as im-
perative as they please, the people will sus
tain it, and the Gni.= Administration will
secure its recognition. But it is not right to
deniand injustice or to insist 'upon an
impossibility. No Administration can ever
hope to close these delicate and difficult ne
gotiations upon the flagrantly one-sided pro
gramme now offered as above, and no sin
cere friend of General GRANT, in or out of
the American Senate;Will seriously attempt
to 'advocate it. If the proposition is to
be pressed in that shape, we would thank the
ingenious statesman, who can, point to any
good reason why, of the respective . claims
for 'Compensation by each party, 'either
sliould.be excluded from an equitable ad
justment. It, is true that, what we recognize
as the Alabame.claims enlist :m their favor

was terribly galling to,,Atnerican sentiment.
But, from the moment that we have decided_
to
to be content with a compensation in money
therefor, all the loftier public considerations
which lay beyond must be dismissed. We
are content that our wounded honor and
ravaged commerce shall be alike healed and
made whole with so much hard cash. And
that brings the whole business down to the
level of a money transaction—a very vulgar
level; but, nevertheless, about as satisfactory
as any other, the way the world goes.
Upon that level, England meets us with
claims of her own citizens; also for, damages
'of some sort or other, but which she risks
our money to pay for. Thus all questions
on either side are money questions, and
nothing else. How absurdly Quixotic then,'
nay more, how criminally dishonest it is to
insist upon the discarded point of honor,
now, and, so attempt to get off from the
payment of our own honest debts !
We trust that the Commission selected to
arbitrate between the two, powers may be
authorized to pass upon all existing claims
from either side, upon the law and the facts
properly rising in each ease, except in the
AlabamiS demands, for Which we have pro
perly insisted upon the preliminary recognii
tion of the legal liability. We should have
a fair and complete settlement of all out
standing cfmtroversies, let the balance settle
on which side it will.
CAUSTIC' SODA FOR FREE TRADE
LYES.
The importing interests have been singu
larly unfortunate in their demonstrations
against the pending tariff-bill. The specific
points whinh they have desired to make, by
way of nattack both upon the measure and
upon the Representative who- has intro•
duced it in Congress, have been ludicrous
failures, and, if not ludicrous, would have
been shameful. Their latest canard, in the
soda-ashiline, is very neatly disposed of in
a card from Mr. 11. PEMBERTON, Superin
tendent of the Pennsylvania Salt Company,
which- we find in an eastern journal, and
from which we extract the following para
graphs:
Ist. No bill in Which General Moorhead's
name was concerned ever contained any
duty upon soda ash. The bill to which the
PAM° Ledger referred was apparently 'the
Senate bill drawn up and passed in the Sen
ate, and with which the House—not tomen
tion General Moorhead—could have had no
possible influence or action:
2d. in no bill whatever was an increase
of one cent in gold per pound on any form
of soda. The highest increasedduty in the
Senate was only one half cent.
3d. In the Moorhead : tariff bill soda' ash
is not named or included, directly or indi
rectly. In preparing the new bill, the clause
which had passed the • Senate, increasing
the duty on ash ONE HALF CENT was
dropped. •
4th. In the Moorhead Tariff bill, the only
forms of soda upon which an increase - d
duty is asked for, was sat soda and caustic
soda, neither of which are used by paper
makers at all—nor by glass men. Their
use being principally by fancy soap mak
ers, drug dealers, and in the articles of
caustic to the extent of two-thirds at least,
of all consumed, by oil refiners (petrol
eum), the greatest proportions of whom
are located in Mr. M.'s district. and who, , if
any, should object to the bill, but none of
whom do.
sth. Gen. Moorhead has not the slightest
interest, ownership or part, in this compa
ny, directly or indirectly; and with the
exception of the writer, with whom his ac
quaintance and influence .is simply that of
having one of the company's offices in the
district of which Mr. Moorhead IS repre
sentative, be has never met and is not per
sonally j acquainted to the extent of the
writer's;knowledge, with any stockholder
of the company, all of whom, with the above
exceptions, are non-residents of this section
of the State.
General Moorhead has had no other object
than to assist this—the soda manufacture of
the United States—as he has striven to do
other important and more prominent inter
ests to such pirotection as will equalize the
different values that labor has in America
from what it has in Europe.
An• 'Extraordinary Medical Case In New
The doctors in New Orleans are greatly
interested in the case of a young German ,
named George Nlckem, who fell from a
platform about four months ago. The Times
of that city thus gives the particulars of tha
case :
"It was supposed that he would die in a
few hours, for his head was twice its normal
size, and nearly every suture of the skull
gaped open. The left half of the skull 'was
broken in several plaees, compressing the
brain. Blood oozed from his mouth, eyes,
nose and' ears, and his five senses were sus
pended. His eyes protruded out of their
.sockels, resting on the cheek bones ' five
times their natural size, and almost as black
as, vial. The bladder was enormously dis
tended and completely paralyzed. The low.
er portion of the bowels were in the same
condition. Both had to be operated on me
chanically. His pulse could not be felt, ex
cept in' the great arteries of the neck. His
body Could be picked with a pen-knife
anywhere without the least evidence of feel
ing. By a novel mode of treatment—the
neuropathy of Dr. John Chapman, of Lon
don, which consists in the application of
, heat and cold alternately to the whole
length of the spine, by means of a special
apperatuefor the purpose, aided by the em
ployment of induced and interrupted elec
trical 'currents, called Faradtzation—the
young man commenced a gradual improve
ment. At the expiration, of a month, the
"black and blue" which disfigured 'the up
per half of his body 'had nearly all disap
peared. In six weeks his eyes, withoutany
improvement of vlsion, were reduced to
their natural size, and the,bulge of his head
had contracted to very near its normal
measure; and all his senses had returned
to their healthy status. His mind, how
ever, did not improve with the improvement
pace'of the physical senses. For a month
his mind was a total blank. The me
chanical pressure of the broken skull on
the left side of the head still caused
a slight paralytic conditiOn 'of the
right arm and leg. He has recovered
the perfect use of his tongne, and was re
•stored to complete consciousness in about
seven weeks. It was soon discovered that •
the recollection of every word and idea had
been literally knocked out of his head.
Though reinvested with' full consciousness,
and the power of using his tongue, it , was
impossible to communicate to him any idea,
name or object. The power of intelligent
language: had vanished—not the powerof
articulation, but the power of expression
was loot. He waixnable to, make known
his wantaby the use of language—nor could
he convey, the meaning by writing, for, it
was etident that the power to write words
from, memory was • lest; he was, theregbret
literally thinking without words. He Is

to •learn over again, it. took him three weeks
to learn his own name.
During the past two months George has
learned quite a number of words, names,
places and things: He can now go any
where in the city by himself. His new
memory'—for want of a better expression—
is very good and his mind strong and active,
though it is sometimes very tedious to teach
him some words, but not from the want of
articulation, for that is perfegt. Tell him
to say "hat," for instance, and he lig apt VI
say "mule, or anything else he has learned;
notwithstanding, as objectsOf sense, he
knows ths meaning of "hat" and "mule."
The left hemisphere of the skull is as tineven
as the rough pavement of the ! streets. His
health is very 'good. He is about 20 years
of age and lives with his mother on Laurel
street between Flist and Second streets.
The Exhumation of an Antldeluotan Hu.
q° man Steletom,
From the Sauk Rapids (Mine.) Beittnel, Dec. 18.]
' Day before yesterday, while the auarrr
men employed by the, Sauk Rapids Water
Power Company were engaged in quarrying
rock for the dam which is' being erected
across the Mississippi at this place, they found
imbedded in the solid granite rock, the re
sins of a human-tieing bf gigantic stature.
bout seven feet below the surf ce of the
i t.
ound, and about three feet and half be
eath the upper stratum of rock, t e remains
, ere found imbedded in the d, which
had evidently been placed in the uadrang
ular grave which had been dug ut of the
solidlock to receive the last sad mains of
this Antideluvian giant. The grave was
twelve feet in length, four feet wide and
about three feet in depth; and is to-day at
least two feet below the present level of the
river. The remains are completely pet
rified, and are of gigantic dimensions.
The head ,is massive, measures thirty
one and one-half inches in circumference,
but low in the osfrontit, and very flat on
top. The femur measures twenty-six and
a quarter inches; and the fibula twenty-five
and a half, while the body is equally long
in proportion. From the crown of the head
to the sole of the foot the length is ten ' feet
nine and a half inches. The measure round
the chest is flfty-nine and a half inches.
This giant must have weighed at least nine
• hundred pounds when covered with a rea
sonable amount of flesh. The petrified re
mains, and there is nothing left but 'the
naked bones, now weighing three hundred
and four and a quarter pounds. The thumb
and fingers of the left hand, and the left
foot from the ankle to' the toes, are gone ;
but all the other parts imperfect. Over the
sepulchre of the unknown dead was placed
a large flat limestone rock that remained
perfectly separated from the surrounding .
granite rock.
These wonderful remains of an antidelu
vian, gigantic race are in the possession of
a gentleman who has started with them to his
residence east. This gentleman, it is said,
will send the remains to Boston, and- possi
bly we may hear all that can be said on the
subject by the learned in these things. It
is supposed by some 'of our ablest men,
among whom is Gen. Thomas, that . many
more skeletons will be found during the
process of excavating the granite rocks in
this place. Some seem to think that these
remains were deposited in this sarcophagus
prior to the formation of the present strata
of rocks that now abound here; but this is
a mere conjecture.
Progress in South Cat °Una.
Mr. W. W. Boyce writes a letter to the
Southerners, in which he counsels them in
regard to the matters which appertain to
their peace. Mr. Boyce is a well-known
former leader of the Democracy, and his
views are deserving of consideration. Ho
urges that harmony between blacks and
whites be established and maintained. He
asks for perfect tolerance of political opin
ion, and for entire freedom of the ballot for
votes, blacx or white. He adds:
"You ought to extend a cordial and kind
welcome to the Northern people to settle
among you, without regard to their political
opinions. Once you did this, the troubles of
the future would be largely overcome, arid
your material progress would be m
wlderfhl.
See what immigration is doing ' for the
Northwest, in spite of its austere, climate.
Think what immigration would do for the
genial South."
This is a strong point, and one which the
election of General Grant wilt do much to
confirm. He prOposes protection to •all in
all parts of the Union, and when the S th
becomes really tolerant of opinion, the ork
is done, and no strong arm is neede to
compass IL 1
Mr. Boyce advises his friends to con
ate the Federal. Government, and this
says, "for the present, and for years to c
means the Republican party." He has 1
faith inthe strength of the Democratic p
He thinks General Grant earnestly
sire to make his adminiptration nations
restore real peace and harmony to the
belligerent sections. He observes, th.
moderate, conservative course on the pa
the South will facilitate his policy in thi!
rection.. .
The temperate and judicial counse of
Mr. Boyce is a welcome sign of returning
good sense among the people of the South.

The Drummer Boy of Shiloh—A Letter of
Lxpianation• from Dr. Donnelly--All
Things Made Plain and the Play Goes on.
4 Herewith we publish a card of explana
tion from Dr. E. Donnelly, author of a se
vere criticism on the ~D rummer Boy of .
Shiloh," drama, published -in Sunday's
Leader. The Doctor le a true Irishman and
we feel assured that his article was promp
ted bythe most patriotic feelings, and that
he had no idea of personally insulting any
of the gentlemen participating in the play,
although his language might readily have
been misinterpreted., The gentleinen hav
ing the management of the sterling drama,
are unanimous in'their assertions that they
have as high regard for the Irish soldier as
any, and that the caricature of the raw re
cruit was Introdneed to cause merriment
rather than to ridicule the Irish-American
soldier, whose, proud record has been
written in blood on hundreds of gory
fields in the cause of our Union. Bat
explanations have been made on
bothsides, and with that decided
manliness characteristic of the man, Dr.
Donnelly furnishes the following card,
;which must-disabuse the public wind of
the idea that he meant to be personally in
sulting in his criticism, or that he was
prompted by any other than a natural love
COuntry, admiration for Irish heroism
and earnest desire to correct whatbe
deemed an insult to his companions in
arms. Good feeling on all sides -will now
prevail, and the play will go on at the
Academy on Thursday night. Here we
might say Mr. Sheeran would be the last
person to cast a slur on the Irish, haying
too high a regard for the people and too
much of the rich blood of Erin floating
through his American veins to let him for
'get the proprieties of life, and his vindica
tion is Made complete in the card which
here follows;
MESSRS. 'EDITORS GAZETTE: Al It ap•
pears from a conversation I had this even
ing with Mr. Sherran, the representative of
the ' l •lriahatan" in the Drummer Boy of
Shiloh, that lie (Mr.flherran_) felt highly I n -,.
dignant .at, the remarks / Made, in the
Leader of Sunday last, in regard to the enbz
lest under consideration, and believed that
those reMarks were ,specially directed
against himself, I beg to state that such was
not ttia case at all, nor should the language
used be so interpreted.' : Any Wee who
might personate that character would be
criticised in the same manner. This gen
tleman seemed to think that the epithets.
"savage," "idiot," "a la barbarian," ap
plied to him. I only alluded to him as
acting a certain part upon the stage, not as
the real, but as the imaginary character.
These opprobrious.: terms were, there
fore, not applied to him more than to
any other individual who might take
the same part in the "Drummer Boy
of Shiloh." I do not, by any means retract
the opinions I expressed in relation to the
representation of the character alluded to,
but lam sure that no one understanding
thoroughly the nature of the language of
criticism, will construe my letter, or any
part of it, into personal attack. I expressed
my sentiments in reference to what I con
sidered, and still .consider an offensive
burlesque upon the Irish character in gen
eral, and:that of the Irish American Sol
dier in particular. To these opinions I
shall, tadhere, till I see just reason why I
should alter them. Trusting that the com

THE GREAT PICTORIAL ANNUAL.
Nostetter's United States Almanac for 1669, for
distribution gratis, throughout the United. States
and all civilized countries of the Western Hernia
phere, will be published about the first of January,
and all who wish to understand the true philosophy
of health should read and ponder the va'uable sug
gestions it contains'. • In addition to an admirable
medical treatise on the cures, prevention and cure
of a great variety of diseases, it embraces a large
amount of infarmation interesting to the merchant,
the mechanic, the miner, the firmer, the planter,
and professional man: and the calculations have
been made for such meridians and latitudes as are
most suitable for a correct and et.mprehensive NA
vitmal. CALENDAR.
The nature, uses, and extraordinary unitary ef
fects of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, the
staple tonic and alterative of more than half the
Christian world, are tally set forth in its pages,
which are also interspersed with pictorial illustra-
I lion., valuable receipts for the household and farm,
humorous anecdotes, and other instructive and
arousing reading matter, original and selected.
Among the Annuals to appear with the opening of
the year. this will be oae of the most unfit, and
may be hid for the asktsg. Send for coplesro the
Central Manufactory, at Pittsburgh, Pa:, into the
nearest dealer in HONTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TERS. The BIT TERS are sold in every eity, town
and village, and are extensively used throughout
the tinting civilised world. •
THE GREATEST OF ALL COUGH
MEDICINES.
At this time of the year, when the Meets and
pavements are covered with show and slush, it Is
no wonder that the natural pores and conducts - of
the body become obstructed, and whole communi
ties become &fleeted with coughs and pulmonary
and throat ailments. One of the very best cures for ,
all these diseases will be found in DR, KEYSER'S
PECTORAL SYRUP, which at once sets tee the
Imprisoned matter, removes tie obstruction, and
allays the Irritability of the nervous system in such
a way as to do no luJury to health, or interfe r e with,
one's usual avocations. What &blessing it must be
to have , so potent a remedy in the house as DR.
KEYSER'S PECTORAL SYRUP. which, ibr'oier
twenty years, has gained on the affections and re
stored the health of thousands of our people. To
get the best of what is going is a good rule In any
thing ; but It is especially true with regard to medi
cine, and there is no cough medicine, that we knows
of, of equal both as a cure and preventive
than DB. IZYSKRIS PECTORAL SYRUP. 1,

GOVERNOR .13.nowlsmow, of Tennessee In
,
his annual message to the Legislature, at its
January session, will advocate the division
of the State. East - Tennessee is said to be
united on this question, in demanding
separation from the middle and western por
t:tons of the . State. The Governor is also, .
an editor, and, in his Knoxville Whig, thus
foreshadows the new movement: ,t
East Tennesseitans will all be unit for the
separation. We will accept, too, the terms.
We are ready to go empty-handed. Middle
and West Tennessee may have their rail
roads, public buildings, turnpikes, and
only their proportion of the State debt.
East Tennessee will assume her's and'ask
no more, leaving to the other sections all
we have named, and the rebels; Kuklux,
etc., thrown in.
