clude only an express requirement of
compliance with the XlVth article, with
a prohibition of any reactionary legisla

of Mr. 'Bingham, substituted, by a vote
of 98 to 95, the following joint resolution,
and then passed it by a vote of 143 to 49,
all the Pennsylvania Republicans voting
in the negative throughout except Her

~uwwl e.
There are now about 50,000 miles of
finished railroads in the United States—
nearly as Many miles as in all the rest of
the - world. The cost has been about
$45,000 a mile, or an aggregate of $2,250,-
000,000.. This does not include the we
tering of stocks and other gigantic swin
dles. The Wilma for the past twenty
years has been in an accelerating ratio.
For example: In 1850 there were 7,479
miles of finished read; in 180:1 98,771
miles, being an increase in those ten
yeah of 20,292 miles, or 2,029 miles per
annum. In 1870 there are 50,000 miles,
an increase shed 1860 of 21,229, or 2,122
Mlles per annum. This, considering that
nearly the first half of the last decade
was spent in a gigantic war, is a marvel
lous increase, and warrants the estimate
thit In 1880 there will be at least 75,000
miles of finished railway in the United
States.
Thera seems to be a strong Inclination
just now to consolidate comparatively
short and local roads into long and lead
ing lines, reaching by combination to the
remotest parts of the country under the
same control. This, upon the whole Is
beneficial to the public; for these pow.
erful corporations an and do manage
the roads they operate better than feeble
local 'companies are able to do; while
both passengers and freight can go
through with less delay and confusion,
and *lces reet, than if they had to pass
from the hinds of one corporation into
another. The principle of consolidation
Is right and beneficial; and although it
sometimes puts treinendons power into
the hands of a few Men, yet the country
Is so immense that - there Is and always
will be checks and counter checks suffi
cient to prevent the formation of one
mat and all-controlling monopoly.
It is good to look at these giant move
ments of human -power from a higher
standpoint than we are accustomed to I
take, and to regard it as God's work
rather than man's—to see In the courage,
the skill, the spirit of enterprise, and cf
combination, and In' the material means,
only me many of His gifts; and then to see
His guiding hand In - all, using human
energy, the greed of gain, the spirit of
emulation, and everything connected
with it, whethei morally good or morally
bad, to promote the general well being
of His creatures. When He made man
the proprietor of the earth—a rich but
rugged inheritanco—He said "Subdue
It;" and in this thing we see man's ohe
dance to the mandate. For long centu
ries men made a mistake as to their pro
per wori, and instead of subduing the
earth they tent their mightiest energies
to the work of subduing one another.
Now, however, as these fifty thousand
miles of railway and innumerable other
beneficial results of human power and
Industry attest, they havehlt upon a more
excellent way. • •
COST of BLUEING PIG METAL.
In speaking of the statement of the pro.
prietota of thirty-seven fbmaces In the
anthracite region of Pesinaylvanti, that
It casts them on an average $29 per ton
to make pig iron, the Bt. Louis Democrat,

this pig metal such fools u to pay

half that money . in • those other
States ? for if it is not yet made In
snalcient quantities; they can make it or

bigness In the world as making plg metal,
if we *ay Wier) In statemeade as these
which the Democrat Is palming upon its
readers. If they were true (which they
are not, although doubtless the writer be
lieves them to be true) a thousand new
furnaces would be belching out flames
before the close of 1870, and the mann
facturens of Pennsylvania would be com
pelled to give np the contest. No tariff
could protect them against such. compett
tion as that, and no legislation would be
needed to give the country as cheap iron
as the most ultra free trader could desire.
Now what we want to see is this : Shut
out the foreigner, and let our own men,
our own States, the East, the West
and the South, have a fair field, and
in a very few years, through the force
of their own - competition, the prof-
its of this manufacture will be
cut down to as narrow a margin as any
reasonable man would wish to see. Of
such competition Pennsylvanians are not
afraid. But strike down the protecting
duty now, and that home competition
can never even begin ; for the entire bust •
nest will be prostrated at once, except in a
few very favorable localities. We have
noire iron ore and more coal than any
other nation under 'heaven ; and it is
only because our laboring population pre
not crashed down to the abject condition
of those beyond• the Atlantic that the
manufacturer of pig metal needs any pro
tection at all. But let those free traders
have their own way for a few years, and
our working people will be brought to it;
for they must live, and to live they must
work, ever if they can get but half pay.
Is that what the Democrat wants? If
not, then let the tariff alone. '
We have confiner oinuelyes to pig
metal only; but the argument is applim
blo to all our manufacturing Industries.
THE BREITRTER BRIGADE
ROUIED
A Philadelphia paper gives the annexed
interesting account of the latest Impu
dence of the Coalition, a delegation of
which has just called at the White House:
After Introducing the party, Lowry,
who led the party, Is reported to have
said: "Mr, President, we are here as a
Committee of the Pennsylvania Legisla•
tore, to urge upon you the appointment
of Hon. Benjamin Harris Brewster, of
Philadelphia, to the position of Attorney
General in your Cabinet. Mr. Brewster,
air, is a distinguished lawyer of the old
Keystone State; he was Attorney General
of Pennsylvania, but was removed, In
ray opinion, air, and in the opinion of a
majority of the people of that State, sir,
without cause, by John W. Geary, at the
instance of Mr. John Covode. Mr.
President, my friend Brewster has been
badly treated; like other prophets, he is
not without hOnor, save in his own
country. We ask, on behalf of the
members of the Legislature, that you
appoint him Attorney General of the
United States. You need not fear to of
fend Cameron, Scott, Forney, or any of
your sincere friends in Pennsylvania, by
appointing Brewster; they are all for
Brewster. They are all of the opinion
that Mr. Brewster Is an ill used man.
You rieed'ne fear Geary. This will be his
teat term. JJ has eery Jeto friends and a
great many enemies. In conclusion, Mr.
President, permit me to say, If you ap
point my friend, Mr. Brewster, you may
count upon the support of P..nusylvanla
for your renomination In 1872."
While the representative ot• the Penn
sylvania Legislature was delivering this
impassioned speech Grant looked steadily
and admiringly at Lowry's _frilled shirt
bosom and his faultless white necktie.
When Lowry had finished, Grant is re•
ported as saying, 'Gentlemen, lam glad
to see you, but there Is no vacancy in the
Cabinet. Good day, gentlemen."
The Committee of the Pennsylvania
Legislature left the Executive Mansion In
disgust, and took the noon train for Phil.

belying Out the National Debt
Although the books of the Treasury
Department show that the public debt on
the Ist inst., principal and interest, less
amount in-the Treasury, was $2,448,740,-
953 81, the actual obligations of the Gov.
ernment will fall-below the sum about
$57,000,000 at present, which amount
daily increases. Of the first series of
fractional currency, the old pcstal cur
rency, $4,534,938 62 are yet outstanding,
and ft is fair to presume that at least ont
half of this amount has been worn out,
burned, or in some way destroyed. Of ,
the second Issue, $3,428,199 31 yet re
main out, and at least one-third of this
amount will never be presented for re
demption. Of the third series, $16,918,-
213 75 Is yet standing upon the books,
one-fourth of which, it is estimated, is
destroyed. Of the fourth and last series,
that now to use, 104,881,318 75 is in cir
culaidon. Thus at least $7,639,755 84
issued In fractional currency will never
be heard from 'gals. Of the demand
notes issued under acts of 'July nib,
1861, and February 12th, 1862, 11113,-
097 has never been presented for re
demption, and It is estimated that
at least one-half of the atm has been
lost or burned, the redemption of these
notes averaging from seventy-five to one
hundred dollars per month. Of the first
Issue ()liege! tender notes authorized by
the acts of February 25th and July llth,
1862, and March Bd, 1863, $344,712,000
are yet outstanding, and of this this sum
is It believed that at least $50,000,000 will
never be presented for redemption ; mak
ing a total of *58.696,000 which h as been
worn out or otherwise destroyed; which
amount, deducted from the total amount
of the debt, shows it to be $2,891,050,953.
It is probable a bill will be poised by
Congress outlawing these old issues alter
they shall have been kept standing upon
the books twenty-five years. The old ' ,
Revolutionary funded debt and unclaim
ed dividends on stocks issued during that
war and the war of 1812, amounting to
$113,915 48, is also, upon the books and
helps to swell the debt statement, al

If we had the number of p gera
transported, we should probably find the
per cent. of fatal accidents .to be much
smaller then when the transit Is perform
ed by lines of stage. As railway tracks
and machinery are perfected from year
to year, we may expect the per cent. of
accidents to bo decreased ,until the great.

It thus appears that the number of
miles of railroad conetructed in this coon.
try during the year which closes to day Is
equal to all that existed op to 1849, and
exceeds the total construction of any two
former years.
The 7,743 tulles builtin 18(19 must have
cost at leaat three hundred millions of
dollars, (which - would not be quite i(Or.
000 per mile; and the cost of our railroads
and their equtpment avenges more than
that sum.) Is it a.wender tie tall is debt
to Europe TrOuni.
A Htartrtaidlng Calamity
The three little sons of Mr. Joseph
Wyllie, of Pompton, N. J:, who went out
to gather nuts on New Year's Day at the
base of Wynockle Mountain, have been
found. They were found lying dead,
side by side on the south side of the
mountain, ten or eleven miles from their
home. Two of the bodies were lying
near togethewjle other being a short dis
tance swap, evrng rise to the supposition
that one had outlived his brothers a little
time. Under a walnut tree, not far off,
some newly cracked nuts were found,
and It Is probable that the children, dur.
lug the three or four days of their wan.
dering, endeavored by this means to sat.
Jiffy their hunger.. The bodies were thin.
ly clad, were not mutilated. The poor
children were out in the terrible storm of
Sunday, the 2d of January, and their
days and nights of terror and agony may
be faintly imagined.
A corutESPONDENT gives the following
facts about onions, most of them authen
ticated by several witnesses. : Musa at
Now Orleans, in charge of one hundred
men, among whom cholera was ragtag,
ho observed that those who ate onions
were surely and fatally attacked; he has,
however, round onions specially. potent
In cases otpolsonoui bites, his son and
others having been cured from snake
bites by a
their use. De Nee knows of
man who in the frenzy of hydrophobia
ate onions voraciously and recovered. In
Caged of epidemic, he has observed, I.
That onions m the room with small-pox
patients decay rapidly, blisters squaring
on them. 2. That tt ey retain and com
municatethe virtutmany weeks. 8. That
they prevent the smallpox by thus ab
sorbing the virus. 4. That when applied
to the feet of fever patients l
turn black. lie Infers from th ese e (sets
that onions possess strong medicsi prop:
eities, that they should not be eaten
during epidemics, and that they are prob
ably among the moat effective absorbents
of blood poisons we have, ea well as ex
cellent disinfectants.
