SUNBURY, FEBRUARY 20, 1874.
Mb. Cameron ox the Currency
Question. In the United States Senate
on Monday the bill to equalize the distri
bution of the currency being under consid
eration, Mr. Cameron moved to strike out
all alter the enacting clause of the bill, and
insert as a substitute a provision that that
part of the national currency act of June 3,
1864, and parts of special acts amendatory
thereof, and any other acts which limit or
restrict the amount of notes for circulation,
be repealed, and that all associations or
ganized for banking shall be free to estab
lish national banks with circulation sub
ject to limitations now provided by law,
except the limitation as to circulation,
hereby repealed.
Mr. Cameron, in advocating the adop
tion of his substitute, said the country was
deficient in banking facilities, so necessary
to transact the business of an energetic, in
dustrious people. Being a practical man,
be looked at these things from a practical
standpoint. He had not heard a single
business man say we had enough of cur
rency. The national banking system had
done much good, and should be extended.
Ilia substitute was designed to satisfy the
demand for more money without causing a
shock to pital already invested in good
faith.
The law now gave a fixed amount of
currency, allowing no greater abundance
of money at one time than another, yet it
was a well known fact that at some seasons
of the year the people want more money
than at others. This fixed amount of cur
rency was a terror to bonest men and a
jubilee to speculators. The increase of
national banks would enable the United
States to resume specie payment sooner
than by any other process.
After the debate bad continued some
time the Senate adjourued without definite
action.
Death or an Estimable Lady. Mrs.
Mary Gowen, relict of the late James
Gowen, and mother of Hon. Franklin B.
Gowen, President of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company, died at her
residence, Mouut Airy, on Thursday last,
in the G8th year of tier age. Mrs. Gowen
was a lady of great refinement of mind, and
possessed qualities of heart which enabled
her to transform the most casual acquaint
ances into affectionate friends. Her chari
ties were as unostentatious as they were
large, and in every other way she lived
practically the life of a sincere Christian.
To her children her demise will be a blow
of crocking severity. The poor will lose a
sincere and earnest friend, and in the circle
in which she moved her death creates a
vacancy which can never be filled.
The ElVvTiox in Philadelphia. )
The result of the election in Philadelphia
on Tuesday was a roost signal Republican
victory. The defeat of Alex. McCire was
uuexjvsUd by his supporters, and to him
self a crushing disaster from which be will
not soot: recover. Stokley's majority for
Mayor was 10.800 ; the full vote was, Stok
Icy 56.934, McClure 46,074. Collis, the
Republican candidate for City Solicitor, was
elected by 12,418 majority, and Smith was
elected Receiver of Taxes by 14,016, mak
ing the victory complete.
We are indebted to Dr. S. S. Schultz,
Superintendent of the State Hospital for
the Insane at Danville, Pa., for a copy of
lbs Commissioners' and Superintendent's
report for 1873. The pamphlet is embel
lished with good engravings of the hospital,
gas and pump bouse, boiler house and
laundry. The institution is in a satisfac
tory condition.
The aggregate railroad mileage of the
United States is now 71,504 tniles ; of sec
ond track and sidings, 13,512, or a grand
total of single track of 85,076 miles. The
number of companies is 850. Of locomo
tives there are 14,223 ; passenger, baggage
and express cars, 13,725, and freight cars
333,427. The total capital stock amounts
to $2,072,251,954, or 823,956 per mile.
The total funded and floating debt is
l,99tf,744,597, and the total cost of rail
roads and equipments $3,728,516,958, or
about $52,099 per mile. During the past
year 4,190 miles of new railroad were built
Upon the basis of the statistics of the last
four years, the Iron Aje estimate that
there will this year be needed at least 673,
000 tons of new or re-rolled rails, and p:r
haps something over 700,000 tons, to main
tain our railroad system in a proper con
dition of repairs ; to which must be added
the requirements of the railroads for sidings,
witches, extensions and duplicate tracks,
as well as the iron required for the three
thousand miles of new road, which, it is
believed, will be built this year. If this
estimate i correct, it is pretty safe to con
clude that the consumption of railroad iron
during the current year will nearly, if not
quite, equal the present productive capacity
of the country.
The Patrons of Husbandry, having, like
sensible wen, declared, in National Con
vention, that their order is wholly without
political signification, the Democratic press
of the country, erewhile kindled by pro
found and profuse interest in the move
ment, now tarns sharply round and begins
to denounce and deride the very organiza
tion to which, only a few weeks ago, it
professed to look for the salvation of the
country. The snubbed spider saw no
beauty in the retiring fly, and grapes that
hang out of reach are said to be entirely
destitute of saccharine quality and flavor.
The election at Harrisburg on Tuesday
resulted in a majority of 133 for John D.
Patterson, the Republican candidate for

Gov. Potts, of Montana, at Virginia
City, has received the following despatch
from Bozeman, dated February 12 : "The

ously elected. There is no snow in the
Yellow Stone valley, and grass abundant"
Mr. J. H. Puleston, recently elected to

when that gentleman and Jay Cooke estab

said to possess considerable financial abil-

Deatii from Hydrophobia. The
Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin says :
"Mr. Henry Smith, a gravel roofer of this
city, died of hydrophobia yesterday morn
ing at his residence on Almond street.
The following statement was frequently
made by Mr. Smith to bis friends in
this city : That he was bitten by a little
dog of his last summer in Elizabeth City,
X. J. The dog was fvothiug at the mouth.
aud Mr. S., noticing the animal spring at
his wife, leaped forward and seized him,
the dog turning his head and biting him
in the arm. He never experienced any
difficulty, and remained in good health
until last week, when his arm commenced
paining him, followed by severe pains in
his head and back. He continued to grow
worse, and on Saturday morning, we are
told, was forced to take his bed. Soon he
became delirious, and frothed at the mouth;
reason forsook him, and from that time he
remained insensible to what was occur
ring, with one exception, when he ex
claimed, "Oh, my God, what have I done
that I must suffer so !" Again he became
delirious, and most of the time it required
six or eight men to hold him. The de
ceased has no relatives iu this section, his
mother, brothers and sisters residing iu
Mechanicsburg, Pa. We have not ascer
tained when the funeral will take place.
Of all deaths this is the most horrible.
and the bereaved wife has the heartfelt
sympathy of the public in this her hour
of sore distress. Those who witnessed the
sufferings of the unfortunate man state
that they never wish to behold another
sight so painful.
Supplementary Election Law.
Governor Hartranft has approved the bill
supplementary to the new Election law, as
passed by the Legislature. The bill is as
follows :
An act declaratory of and amending Vie act
entitled "a further supplement to the act
regulating elections in this Common
treuWt," approved January 30, 1S74.
Section 1. Ik it enacted &c, That the as

elections and registration of voters, and
that the office of assessor for the purpose of
valuatiou all the duties incident thereto
shall continue and remain as now provided
for by law ; provided, that in townships,
boroughs aud wards composing but one
election district the assessors for the pur

thereof; if such person does not produce
such receipt, then the payment of the tax
may be proved by the oath of such person,
or other evidence, stating when, where and
to whom such tax was paid.
The Reading Times, in speaking of the
prospect in the coal fields, says : ' Every
cloud has its silver lining, and the threat
ened rupture between capital and labor is
happily dissipated. The best of feeliug
exists among the companies and their em
ployees, and the people will be spared
those fluctuations that from time to time
tend to clog the wheels of progress. The
prospects for the year 1674 are much
brighter and more encouraging at present
than they have been at any time in the
past"
About two years ago, it. will be remem
bered, the government bought a lot of rebel
archives from on Colonel Pickett for $75,
000, which contained evidence that ha
saved to the Treasury many times that
sum. It has now completed negotiations
for another batch of similar archives,
known as the cotton papers, for ? 10,000,
for the Southern Claims Commission, to
use as evidence against the claimants and
a very judicious investment it will proba
bly turn out to be.
The Siamese Twins. New York,
Feb. 17. A Tribune Philadelphia special
says the autopsy on the bodies of the
Siamese twins took place yesterday. The
examination of the ligament joining the
twins was made, and the question whether
a severance could have been made safely
in life spilled in the negative with almost
certainty. The lining membranes of the
abdomen in each, were found to enter the
band form pouches overlapping each other
at the centre of the band, so that a knife
passing through its centre would sever the
pouches and open the abdominal cavity of
each of the twins. It was also proved that
there was blood circulation through the
band.
Fatal Railroad Accident,
Allentown, Pa., Feb. 16. A train
on the Susquehanna Railroad, between one

landslide near Slate Dam station. The
engine jumped the track and eighteen cars
were piled upon each other, smashing
freight of all descriptions, which was
strewn along the road and hurled iuto the
river. Not one afihe train bands, as far as
could be ascertained, escaped injury. The
body of Engineer Daniel Shannon was
found under the engine, considerably
burned. Otto Shannon, firemen, aud Frank
Ryan, brakeman, jvitc badly scalded and
burned. Three others are reported killed.
The stove in the caboose set fire to the
freight and cine cars were burned.

OI K NEW YOKK LETTER.
BULLS, HEARS, FINANCE SOCIETY,
POLITICIANS BALLS IMMIGRATION
TUB POOR TnE URAIN TRADE:
New York, February 17, 1874.
WALL STREET BULLS AND BEARS.
" I spent a day or two in Walls street this
week, and learned something. The man
who learns auythiug ought to lose no time
before lie communicates it to his fellows,
hence I shall give what I learned to your
readers at once.
Do you know what a "bull' is, or a
"bear," in Wall street ? 1 spent two days
learning.
In Wall street a "bull" is nn operator
who believes he can push the price of any
particular stock to a higher point Take
Toledo and Wabash, for instance. Sup
pose it is selling at 48. The bull from cer
tain indications believes it will go up to 50,
or higher. He buys at 48, and then delib
erately goes to work to put it up. He will
lie like a--like a politician he will invent
bogus dispatches he will spread reports of
the death of Presidents of railroads pub
lish bogus reports of the business done in
short, there is no villainy in the range of
lying, perjury and fraud that he will not
commit to make that stock go to a figure
above 48.
The bear is the man who has sold the
stock. I forgot to say that the bull buys
the stock to be delivered at a certain dale,
say thirty days. Now, if on that date
Toledo and Wabash is worth 50, the bear
simply pays the bull the odd two if, on
the other hand it goes down to 46, the bull
pays the bear the odd two. It thus be
comes a struggle between them the bear
to toss it up, the bull to pull it down.
The light is deadly. The bear will get
into the newspapers all sorts of stories con
cerning the road. He will have Gov. Cox,
the Presideut, dead or strickeu with
paralysis, he will invent horrible accidents,
and spread report of defalcations aud gross
mismanagement. The bull practices tactics
precisely the reverse.
The settlement is made ou the basis of
the selling price of the stin k on the day
named.
Very frequently bears turu bulls. If a
bear sets that it is m possible to pull down
a stock, he frequently buys and becomes a
bull to cover. This he can do, if he can
buy more f the stock than he has sold.
These transactions very frequently in
volve millions, and they embrace every
thing under Heaven, Gold, Railroad, aud
oilier stocks, grain, lumber ; everything iu
in fact that is merchantable is made the
subject of their struggles.
A "corner" is the buying of the eutire
stock of a corporation, or at least more than
cau be delivered. Thus we will assumo
that there are 50,000 shares of the Toledo
& Wabash in all. The bears ignorant that
a corner has been' made in Wabash, sell
the stock to be delivered in, say thirty days,
supposing that there is enough of it iu the
market to be had. to make delivery at a
protit possible. The time approaches and
they begiu to look about to get the stock.
They find to their dismay that there is not
a share to be had ; for the very good
reason that the bulls have it all. They be
come frantic, but to uo purpose. The bulls
hold, and run the price up to any figure
they choose, to which the poor bears are
compelled to submit. But don't suppose
it is all plain sailing with the bulls ! If
the bears arc strong enough they buy up
one of the bulls, which makes a break and
if they get a break made, Heaven help the
bulls. It is war to the knife and no mercy
is shown or expected.
Watering stock is where a corporation
becomes exceedingly profitable too pro
fitable in fact, for the public to endure
quietly. Suppose a railroad having a mon
opoly makes money enough to declare
clamor for a reduction of fares, so the di
rectors double the number of shares wa
tering the capitil. There is no more capi
tal than before, but they call it more. If
they double it, they declare 10 per cent
dividends on 82,000,000, iustead of 20 per
cent, on 81,000,000.
It is gambling of the most deplorable
kind. There are legitimate stock brokers,
but tbe rule is gambling.
SOCIETY
Is fermenting in this city just now. Balls,
parties, theatres operas and entertainments
of all kinds arc iu full blast, and the fashion
able people are worked terribly. By the
way the New York belle is a hard worker
during the season. She rises at noon, be
cause she wa out late night before. She
breakfasts iu her room aud dresses herself
for the afternoon round. She enters her
carrriage and drives to receptiou alter re
ception, until night has come, when she
goes home, dresses herself in evening toilet,
aud again enters her carriage to make a
rouud of three balls and a German, ending
up at the last somewhere about three A. M.
Then she goes to bed, sleeps till noon, and
is up and at it again. And this is pleasure !
Were they compelled to do this for a living,
there would be more strikes among them
than among laborers. But they do it.
POLITICIANS.
A reputation in New York is a singu
lar thing. Brennan, the Sheriff indicted
for the escape of Genet, and in jail there
for, has more friends among the conti oiling
element than ever. The short haired look
upon Brennan as a martyr. The other
night a ball was given in his honor, which
was run by the most desperate villains in
in the city, But, mark you, the leading
resectable Democrats of the city were
there, for they dare not stay away. Mr.
Brennan's broken-nosed adherents ruu the
the caucusses, and not one of these broad
cloth gentry could get a nomination if they
oppose him. Therefore all these men at
tend the balls of the Brennan kind, and
shake hands with them, and smile and
fawn on the doubtful women they briug
there. New York is under the control
of the ruflians, and tbe Democracy recog
nize the fact, and acknowledge their rule.
There is no hope of anything good from
this Nazareth. The country is the only
salvation.
IMMIGRATION.
The deeliue in immigration is now very
marked. During the past week the total
number of immigrants lauded at Castle
Garden was only 456, which is the smallest
number rocei ved iu a single week for several
years. But they are of a good class. Ger
many is largely represented. Sweden, Nor
way and Denmark, contribute their quota.
The Scandinavians mostly go to the North
west, the Germans to the Western Middle
States, while the Irish, as mauy as possible,
stay iu the large cities, where they can run
grog-mills, aud finally become Aldermen,
contractors, and run things generally.
THE POOR
Are suffering this winter. There is work
enough in New York for 80 per cent of the
working men, so there is no occasion for
much distress among those who have health
and strength. But the sick and the weak
are in a pitiable condition. Every day sick
men and women are found in the garrets of
the over-crowded tenements and in the eel
lers ns well, dying from hunger and cold.
The soup-houses are doing a great and
good work in feeding the poor, but what
good is a soup-house to a woman who can
not get to it V It is estimated that 400 men
and women perished from cold and hunger
in this city last week. Why any human
being comes to or stiys in a great city, is
something beyond my comprehension. I
don't know why I am here. Where one
succeeds a thousand fails, and success here
does not mean as much as it does anywhere
else.
THE GRAIN TRADE,
continues to excite especial attention. The
fact is that New York ought to lose it for
she has never done anythiug to foster it.
All the grain that comes to this is handled
by hand it has to be carted from the depot
to the vessels and the cost of transfer al
most eats it up. -A movement is on foot to
build tracks by the water side to erect
elevators as in the Lake Cities, so that the
grain cau be taken out of the cars and
loaded into vessels at slight cost. This is
all that can possible save the trade, and
this will not do it unless the Erie Canal is
enlarged aud the exhorbitant tolls thereon
lessened. Montreal, Bostou, Philadelphia
and Baltimore all have superior facilities
and they are taking the trade, Why don't
the farmer's organization take some action
in the matter of the canals ? There is little
use in looking to New York for relief.

Omaha, Nebraska, February 11, 1874.
Enil fVUvert Esq. .-
From this progressive, busy city of the Great
Wc6t, permit me to send you my congratula
tions on the enlargement and improved aspect of
your "American." Go ahead, sir, you deserve,
and will achieve success. Nebraska, a new
Statu, in 1850, had no political existence. In
1800, only 28,000 souls, in 1870, 123,000. We
shall soon number half a million. Here, 20 de
grees west from Sunbury, the same God rules.
The Mime sun warms, and the same blessings
will crown tbe efforts of the industrious and
economical. Our leading churches arc the Me
thodist, BaptUt, Presbyterian aud Git hoi ic. But
emigrants bring their religion along, and organ
ize according to the dictates of their consciences.
I hear, with pleasure, of the coming of Mr.
Reitz and others, from good old Northumber
land couuty. We extend to all a hearty welcome
to the original hunting grounds of the Shawnecs,
Pottowottomies, and other aborigines of our ex
tensive prairies. We have room for the coming
millions. "The Devil and the Lawyers," in
your American, February C, reminds me of the
long past period of my boyhood, when 1 used to
scribble rhymes for Jimmy Shannon's Sunbury
"Oaztttur" I enclose a preserved number, June
20, 182C, from which you may, if you please, re
publish one of my juvenile effusions, addressed
to one whose name is still repeated in the pulpit,
and in the lowest gambling hell.
Iu 1826, John Qnincy Adams was President.
Tbe Jackson party was organizing for battle and
for victory. They won. They had their days of
power. They are gone. The momentous ques
tion of slavery, secession, disuuion arose. They
were met, and settled. They belong to tbe past.
But the "Prince of Darkness," the old Copper
head "Serptntum anti'pmm, qiti ttt diabuli tt
Staiuu," is still busy. He was prospecting out
acre in the Platte Valley, and I suppose he is yet
prowling about leose in Sunbury, seeking whom
he mav mislead. W.
An Ode
To tin Prince ofDarknnt.
Begone ! thou prince of IIcll ! away !
So longer on earth's surface stay :
Trouble of man ! the foe of God !
Richly dost thou deserve bis rod.
Before all worlds thou wert nitrue,
Aud lost thy rank and glory too ;
'Twas thou who caus'd man first to stray :
Thou lcad'st him still the crooked way.
F.ucb evil passion of the heart,
Thou didst in nature first impart:
Each hellish action man has done,
'Twas thy influence urged him on.
But thou shalt to thy fate submit,
To be confined in hell's dark pit,
Thy thousand years must be fulfilled,
For so eternal power hath willed.
Theu slmll misguided man be free
From tby claudestiue tyranny :
Murders aud wars and thefts shall cease",
And all shall serve the PwM-Eof Peacf.
The ijloriout Gospel then shall roil,
With rapid speed from pole to pole :
Fair Libektt as far extend,
And Science shall her steps attend.
June 20, 1826. S. B.
WAITED TO Bit IIEAKO lltOJI.
If anybody has ever used the thorough
and scientitic course of treatment recom
mended by the proprietor of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh liemedy for the cure of Catarrh
and has not been perfectly cured, the pro
prietor, Dr. It. V. Pierce, would like to
hear from that person, and by addressing
him at the World's Dispensary, Butialo,
N. Y., such person, if there be one, will
hear of something to his or her advantage,
as the Doctor is iu earnest when he offers
500 reward for a case of Catarrh which
he can not cure, and is perfectly able to pay
it if he fails in a single case, as any one
may ascertain upon enquiry. The thorough
course of treatment referred to and re
commended by Dr. Pierce consists in the
use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh liemedy with
Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche which is the
only means by which the fluid can be car
ried high up and applied to all parts of the
nasal passages and the chambers connected
therewith in which addition to this
thorough application of the liemedy, which
always be used warm, Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery should be taken earnest
ly as constitutional treatment, without
which few cases can be cured as the dis
ease is always constitutional and must be
treated accordingly. This treatment has
no unpleasant features about it, aud has
the advantage of never driving the disease
to the lungs as there is danger of doing by
the use of strong, irritating snuffs or poison
ous solutions.
PLAIN FACTS.
FRANKFORT, Mich., Sept. 13th, 1873.
A year ago I had a bad cough from the
Catarrh which had got in my throat. I
tried a great many things but got nothing
to do me any until 1 used your Goldeu
Medical Discovery and Dr. Sage's Catarrh
liemedy. They cured me in three months
for which I am very thankful.
AMOS FISIIEK.
PAIX-KII.LEK!
FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS
Perry Davit' Vegetable Faiu-Killer
HAS BEEN TESTED IK EVERY VARIETY OF
CLIMATE, AND BY ALMOST EVERY
NATION KNOWN TO AMERICANS.
It is the constant companion aud esti
mable friend of the missionary and the
traveler, on sea and land, and noone should
travel on our Lakes or Iiivers without it.
It has been before the public over thirty
years, and probably has a widow and bet
ter reputation than any other proprietary
medicine ol the present day. At this pe
riod there are but few unacquainted with
the merits of the Pain-Killer : but while
extol it as a liniment, they know but little
of its power in easing pain wheu taken in
ternally, while others use it internally with
great success, but are equally ignorant of
its healing virtues wheu applied externally,
We therefore wish to say to all that it is
equally successful whether used internally
or externally, and it stands to-day, unri
valled by all the great catalogue of family
medicines. It is sufficient evidence of its
virtues as a standard medicine, to know
that it is now used in all parts of the world
and that its sale is constantly increasing.
No curative agent has had such wide spread
sale or given such universal satisfaction.
It is a purely vegetable compound, and
pefectly safe in unskillful hands.
After thirty years, trial, is still receiving
the most unqualified testimonials to its
virtues, from persons of the highest charac
ter responsibility. Physicians of the first
respectability, recommend it as a most
effectual preparation for the extinction of
pain, It is not only the best remedy ever
known for Bruises, Cuts, Burns, &c., but
for Dysentery or Cholera or any sort of
bowel complaint, it is a remedy unsurpass
ed for efficiency and rapidity of action. In
the great cities of India, and other hot cli
mates, it has become the Standard Medi
cine for all such coraplants, as well as for
Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, and other
kindred disorders. For Coughs and Colds,
Canker, Asthma, and Rheumatic difficul
ties, it has been proved by the most abund
dant and convincing testimony to be an in
valuable medicine.
BEWARE OF ALL IMITATION.
The Pain-Killer is sold by all respecta
ble druggists throughout the United States
and foreign countries.
Prices 25 cents, 50 cents and SI per
bottle.
