The Explosion at Newton Hamilton

In relation to it will bo read with interest. It
appears ***** the train was standing on the
siding at Newton Hamilton 'station, when
from scime.canee or other, aa.yet unexplained, |
the boiler exploded with a tremendous report,
shattering the locomotivo to pieces atid par
tially trtocklfcgone or two of the foremost

fireman, Benjamin Graham, were both on the

the air; their mangled bodies falling some
seventy feet from tho wreck. Both onstharo

track to iuebwri oxtent that when tho express

some delay, however, the track was cleared,
and the express, with the passengers of the >
other train oh board, started. for Altiona,

Chief Jnstice Lowrie on Election
Frauds. ' 4
• reported, during ihe sitting oftbo ?Ur
pfccme Coart in this city, tbe proceedings in
tEo Contested election case in the Nineteenth;
Ward of Philadelphia, involving the right to
seatq in the Common Council. The opinion
was delivered' by Chief Justice Lowrie—
JhdgM .Woodward and Thompson dissenting^.
| The Cohrt, whfle admitting that the proof of
the returns from Col.Mcliean’« regiment be
ing forgeries* * overwhelming, decides that
there is no power to interfere in the case at
this ' Stage of the proceedings—the proper
tribunal being the Common Council Chamber,
where the qualification of members can be ex
amined. The Court then says:
■ “If in - this war we suffer a gross fraud to
pass .through ourhands without reinedy, it is
not because we have any mercy for the fraud,
but because we cannot frustrate it by any de
eree of ours without an act bfnaurpatioD.;
Another tribunal is appointed to administer ,
the remedy, and we believe tbftt, on proper
application, It will administer iLt»g*»tiy, ac
cording to the evidence it may have.*, and if
we bad doubts of this, we should still not be
justified in interfering. Sad, indeed, very sad,
Eos been our recent-ehperionco of election ,
frauds'; but we cannot believe that
unship has become ao reckless, and our elec- |
tive franchise so carelessly oxercised, and oar
thirst for power and office ao lutenaoly Belfish,
that any official body will sanction sobase and.
frightful* a fraud upon the public as this now
appears, or that any man deemed worthy • uf.
an office would accept it under sueh circum
‘'iTftnotherpar.tof tbe opinion, the Chief*
Justice use* the following significant lan
guage, which, emanating from so high a
souroc, should arrest tho attention of all who
hold sacred the purity of the ballot box:
~ “Our elections have become so intensely
selfish that opposing parties treat cacti other
as enemies/and thus many on come
to think that tricks and lies, fraud, forgery
and penury are legitimate Strategy, and ovon
honest men are led to elaim the fruits of it,
and candidates are *ery apt to be selected not
because of their honesty or their competency
for office, bat of their capacity to lead in an
election combat, and of thoir readiness to re
ward their assistance at the expense of the
public.* “When citations art 1 in any
large degree on such principle* thev become a
f om m of oivil war, repeated annually by ap
pointment or law. For a whUe it is a ques
tion which party shall assemble the most
t>oi«r* honestly or dishonestiy, by fair argu
ment or by lying charlatanism; but soon it
becomes a question which party can forceth
election returns to count the highest
and then-forgery and perjury lend tbcm
ais tan ee. This is a frightful stand point to
occupy for a look into the (hturo. .We shaU
not attempt to report its revelations.

Washington City, Dec. 9.—Tho Secretary
of tho Treasury sent into Congress his report.
lie enumerates Ihri loan* obtained, making an
aggregate of $197,212,588. Ue estimates the
revenue from all sources, for the fiscal yc»rr,
ending July next, at $64,552,655, whichia
over $2U,000,000 less than estimated by him
in July last. To meet tho demands caused
by the vast increase in the army beyond Che
number which his estimates m July wore
predicated, he says : of these additional ap
propriations, $47,985,500 01 were MthorUed
by acts of tho last session, and $143,130,-
927 76. aro now asked for> ‘making an aggre
gate increase,'' including $22;787,933 31, for
indefinite appropriations and redemptions of
temporary debt beyond the estimates Of July,
of $904,427 68. While recommending re
trenchment and the prevention of abuses, the
Secretary feels himself constrained to renew
tho suggestion heretofore submitted by him,
that the property of rebels should be made to
pay in part at least the cost of tho rebellion
V Property, of great value, in the loyal States
is held by proprietors who arer actually or
virtually engaged in that guilty
break up the Union and overturn the Govern
ment, which has brought upon °“r country all
the calamities we now endure. That property
is justly forfeited to the people, and Hhoald
be subjected, with due regard for al rights
and interests concerned, to sequestration or
confiscation, and the proceeds should bo ap
plicd to the satisfaction of claims arising
from tho war. Property of rebels, in tberobel
States, should be treated in like manner.
Rights to services under State laws most.of
necessity form an exception to anyTUlo of
confiscation. Persons held by rebels under
such laws to as slaves, may, however,
be justly liberated Trom their constraint, and j
mado more valuablo in employments through
voluntary aud compensated service, than ueon
fiscatcd as subjects of property. He recommends
increased duties on tea, coffee and sugar, to
the rates proposed in July last. He. says the
problem of enabling thwgovertment to pros
ecute the war must engage tho most earefai
attention of,Congress. Ho says circulation
of nous by the banks is .estimated at. $200,-
000.000, of which $150,000,000 belong to the i
banks of the loyal States. The whole of thik i
cOnstiuUs a loan without by the peoploto tho ,
brinks,oosting nothing beyond the coatof issue,
and keening a supply of vpeeie for their redemp
tion He arguee tbat Congress hns constitu
tional power to control this credit circulation,
and, at the same time, protect tho people from
the losses from unsound banks, and the.de
nreoiation of bunk notes. The Secretary thmki
it possiblo to combine with this promotion a
provision for circulation, safe to the' eomnmu
nltv and convenient for the government.
Two plans for effecting this object are sug
gested : The first contemplates the gradual
withdrawal from circulation of the notes of
private corporations, and for the issue, in
their stead, of United States notes, payable in
coin on demand, in amounts sufficient for the
useful ends of a representative currency. Tho
second contemplates the preparation and de=
livery to institutions and associations,of notes
prepared for circulation under national di
rection, nnd to bo secured as to prompt con
vertibility Into coin by tho pledge of U. S.
bonds, and other oocdful regulations. The
first of these plans ns partially adoptedut
tho last session or Congress, in tho pro
vision authorising the Senate to issue
United States notes, = O,n ’ “J
an amount not exceeding *50,000,000. That
i provision may he so extended us to reach the
average circulation of the country, while a
, moderate tax gradually augmented an bank
notes, will relievo the nation from the enmpe-
I tltion of local circulation. It has already
been suggested that the substitntion of a na
i lional for a State currency upon this plan,
would be equivalent to a loan to the govern
ment without interest, except on the cost of
Dreparation. issue and redemption, whilo the
I people would gain the additional advantage
I of ft uniform currency , and relief from ft con
i sidcreble burden in tho form of interest of
debt. These advantages are doubtles ■ con
siderable, nnd if n scheme can be devised by
which such a circulation will ho certainly and
itrictly confined to tho real needs of the
people, and kept constantly equivalent to
specie by prompt and certain redemption in
coin, it will hardly fail of legislative sanction.
Tho- plan, however, is not without serious
inconveniences and haxards. The tomptauon,
especially great in times of pressure and dan
ger, to issue notos without adequate provision
for redemption, tho over present liability to be
called on for redemption boyond means, how
ever wirefully. -provided and managed, the
haxard of pauios precipitating demands fur
coin concentrated on a few points, and a sin
gle fund, th. risk of depreciated, depreciating
and finally worthless paper money, the im-j
measurable evils of dishonored public faith
and national bankruptcy. All these aro pos
sible consequences of tho adoption of a sys
tem of government circulation. It may bo
aaid, and perhaps truly, that they <we less
deplorable than those of an irredeemable bank
circulation. Without entering into that com
parison, tbp Secretary contents himself with
observing that, in his judgment, theso possi-
I ble disasters bo far outweigh tho probable
benefits of tho plan that ho feels hlmrelf eon-
I strained to forbear recommending Its adoption.
The eocond plan suggested remains f °r ex *
amination. Its principle features are: First,
A circulation of notes Wring ft common im
pression, and authenticated by ft common
authority. Second, The redemption of these
notes by tho associations and institutions to
which they may bo delivered for issue. Third,
The security of that redemption by the pledge
of United States stock* Mid adequate pro
vision of specie. In this plan, tho people in
their ordinary business would find the adran
lageaof uniformity in the currency, of mi
formtiy in security, of effectual aafeguard, u
effectual .jafoguurd la possible against depre
ciation, and. of protection from losses in dis
counts nnd exchanges, whilo in tho operations
of tho government the people would find tho
further ndvahtoge of a large demand fbr
1 government securities, of increased facilities
for obtaining the loans required by tho war,
and of some alleviation of the hardens in in
dustry, though a diminution in the rale of
interest, or a participation ip'Jho profit of
circulation, without risking tho penis of a
great money monopoly.> A. further and.inx- .
portant advatogo to tho pcoplomay bb rear
sonably expected in the. increased security of
the Union, springing from tho common inter-,
est in its preservation, creatod by the distri
bution of its stocks to associations throughout
the country as tho basis of tboir circulation.
The Secretary gives estimates for the year
ending 30th June, 1863, should tho war eon-:
tinue so long, and the probable increase of the
publio debt, which, In brief, is as follows - : On
the Ist day of July, 1860, the public debt was
$64,769,703 08. _ On the Istday of July, 1861,
tho public debt was $90,887,828 the
Ist day of July, 1862, tho public-debt will be
£517.372.802.98. On the Ist day of July,
1863, tho public debt will bo $8Q7,372,8Q2f 03.

The Louisville Jbnrnal oh the Prcsi.
dent’s Message; .
(From thb Frankfort (Ky) Commonwealth, 6th]
The Louisville Journal, of yesterday
morning, contained an article on the Presi
dent's message which must creatb a univer
sal feeling of astonishment and rogret in
the mind ; of every well 'wisher of his
* country. -The article is deformed by a
Tcin of ridiculous vanity, coupled with an
assumption of remarkable influence, which
the writer fondly believes ’ flows from tho
point of his pen Whenever it comes in'eon
mot with paper. Aside from the wretched
.taste of criticisin, it is exceedingly ill
timed, and unjust to the President. '
The editor selects the following paragraph
from the President's message as atfextfor
his temarks:
JUaofobeying the dictates of. prudence, as well as
the obUeatioua of law. Instead or transcending, 1 bare
adbßred to the net t»f Congress to .confiscate property
1 be duly considered. The Union lutnt be -preserved,
1 and hence all disposable means most b» .■mploveu.
; Wo should uot bo in haste to deiocmine what radical
and extreme* measures, which may reach O»o loyal as
- well M the disloyal, arc Indispensable.
' The editor expresses his opinions of the
foregoing in the following lofty terms: ;
It U impossible to look upon this as anything more
or ires than the expression 'of an indfrm and on
manly concurrence in'the pollcjrafcaerted recently by
Col. L'ochrano and approved by {Secretary Cameron, to
tho mortification and shame of eVery loyal man of
Kentucky. The passage is lacking in propriety as
wolhlly as In atatremanship. • Tbo-manner is
as the matter. Both are deeply unworthy.
We insist that there is nothing in.-the
expression of the President lo justify the
Inferences of the Journal. . He indicates no
policy (in . the paragraph with -which the
Journal .finds fault,*) which has not. long
been the common’law of nations, and whjch
has governed the action of belligerent nn
i tions from time-immemorial. -
For some time past it.hasl been the set
tled policy of the Secessionist* to create an
opinion in the public mind that the present
war was inaugurated for the emancipation
of Slavery, and that the Administration
haa that end in view. But the Louisville
Journal haa the ionor-: of first
Union print to aid the enemy in spreading
that most unwarrantable.-and ridiculous
assumption. considering tho wide
circulation and. immense influence of that.
paper, we regret.to say that it iaour honest
opinion that the article in yesterday’s
Journal will do more barm to the Union
cause in Kentucky than all the Secession
ists combined would bo ableto do. It the
editors’of l that i paper had brdught into re
quisition alUhcir Wlont and adroitness in
preparing a paper, to encourage Secession
ists and discourage .Union men, they could
not have done worse. We are at a loss to
account for it. There is no reason for such;
an article at thus . time, while : there arc
thousands of reasons why such an article
should not emanate from such a source.
We could cite numerous instances where
in the Journal was unjust to the President,
but afterward defended the policy which
it assailed at first We distinctly recollect
that on one occasion, during the present
contest, tho Journal went to such length in
its opposition that it was claimed by the
Secessionists in this city and elsewhere,
that th ii Journal had forsaken the Union
cause and would advocate “Southern
Rights” What will be. said of it now?
