to publish them, I will send a few, |
We have had a pretty open winter, un:
til lately. There is now about a foot
of snow on the ground, but to day it
is very warm and the snow is fast dis-
appearing. On Monday and Tuesday,
March 15th and 16th we had some se-
vere cold weather, the thermometer
stond at zero on the morning of The
16th, and the roads are drifted very
much. On Wednesday morning the
trains from the south were three hours
late in consequence of the drifted snow,
but on Thursday morning the snow
train came thundering along at the
rate of thirty miles an hour, to clear
the track, and did it in splended style;
the snow train was train No. 14, two
engines, a few empty freight cars, ca-
boose and an immense snow plow at:
tached to the caboose; it threw the
snow from 10 to 12 feet right and left;
since that passed through the trains
have been running on their regular
time. We used to talk of storms and
drifts in the east, but let me tell you,
none of you who were never west, ever
saw a snow storm. Wesee storms here
that would scare such men as Sam.
Homan, JJ. Lutz, and others of Buffalo
Run valley—but with all the storms I
like the west, there is life here, people
here are lively, no end of jokes ete.
This town is improving, business is
good ; I am about as well situated as I
could be anywhere, have control of
freight, ticket, and express offices, in
this place, and manage to make a liv-
ing. I have had several offers to go
further west, at a be salary, but
bave concluded to: stay here for. the
present, for the idea of going among
the Indians causes one to feel if his
top knot is still on hishead. Here we
have good society, there we would be
among wild beasts and Indians, and in
danger every hour. I have heard
nothing from old C:ntre for a long
time. Hope if this meets the eye of
the editor of the Democratic Watch-
man he will send me an occasional
copy for old friendship sake. What
has become of G. W. R. Esq. Has be
left for parts unknown? Where is S.
Homan who ought to be President of
the Buffalo Run Valley Railroad, and
what has become of John the black-
smith, and Caleb the fisherman, Mat.
the hunter and dozen o other ¢:lebri is
of that famous valley. Why don't
they come west and enjoy themselves;
the western people are noted for their
hospitality, and if they would only
come, they would find a hearty wel-
come. Farm laborers will be in de-
mand in a short time at good wages,
and I hope some of those who can bey
well spared will make it a point to em-
igrate west in the spring, if they do
they will fiind plenty to do, and good
wages, but in conclusion let me say, if
any of you are doing well where you
are, do not leave what you already pos-
sess for an uncertainty. This is not
the west. People here are emigrating
west almost daily. Scarcely a day

emanating from old fogyism. All this
can be traced to the unexplored re-

For the Reporter.
FarMER's Minis, Pa., Mar. 1, ’70.
Mr. Editor—Dear Sir:—I have a
small local item here for publication,
if you approve of it ; I will give you an
Increase of the Public Debt.
A few days since we demonstrated
the fact that the public debt, instead
of having been diminished, as claimed
by Secretary Boutwell, has actually
been increased since the first of March,
1869, We showed that the Pacific
railroad bonds, always extimated as a
portion of the debt by Ex Secretary
M'Culloch, amounting to $65.004,661-
20, principal and interest, are not in-
cluded in the statement of Mr. Bout-
well, and that the latter counted as as-
sets in the Treasury the redeemed gov-
ernment bonds and currency, which
are mere evidences of debt and cannot
becounted as so much cash. Forthis we
have been taken to task by certain re-
publican journals (among them the
Lancaster Express,) which insist that
our figures are incorect, and our con-
clusions illogical. It is not necessary
here to restate the figures not to re-
peat the the reasoning of our former ar-
ticle, though we do mot abate one jot
of what was set forth theirin, knowing
every statement it contained to be true
to the last letter. A simpler mode of
argument will prove the truth of the
allegation that the public debt has in-
creased since March 1, 1869, and to
save time and space we shall here em
ploy it. The debt bearing interest in
coin on the first of March, 1870, as per
Secretary Boutwell’s statement.
amonnted to $2,107,939,650; on march
1, 1869 it was $2,107,854,050; show-
an increase of 885,600. On the first of
March, 1870, the Pacific railroad
bonds amounted to $65,094,861,20; on
March 1, 1868, the government was
responsible for but 853,£87,000 in
these bonds: which soows an increase
of this portion of the public debt of
$14,157,861,20. On the first of March,
1870, the debt bearing no interest and
the debt matured and not presented
for payment. aggregated the sum of
8444,940,252,54; on the first of March
the sum of the same was $§428,000,044
14; exhibiting an increase of $15,939,
608 40. This shows a grossincrease of
$28.183,069 60. From this sum must
be deducted the amount. of the reduc
tion of the lebt bearing curfency inter-
est since Mareh 1, 1869, which is $11-
485000. After this subtraction we
find that the actual increase of the pub
lic debt during the last year is $16,698
60. “We have discarded the accrued:
interest in Mr. Boutwell's statement,
(as the Lancaster Express assures us
that Mr. M'Culloch did the same in
his statements) and have dealt only
with the principal of the debt in all
cases, The payment of the interest
cannot diminish the principal, and
therefore such paymentsare not to be
taken into consideration in this con-
nection,
Now, let us compare some of the
items in Secretary Boutwells last two
monthly statements, First we find
that the assets in the Treasury on the
1st of March, 70, exceeded the assets
inthe Treasury for Feb, 1, 1770, to the
amount of 85,966,395 72.. Of this in.
crease there was but the sum of $800,
009 20 in gold. The remainder con-
sisted, in part, of 1,589,478 27 in cur-
rency. Now, whence eame this large
amount of government promises to pay?
From what sources did this immense
volume of currency flow into the Treas.
ary in the course of a single month?
About one halfof it consists of redeem-
ed demand and legal tender notes and
fractional currency, which Secretary
M’Culloch deducts from the amount of
the outstanding non-interest bearing
debt, and then counts it as cash, ‘thus
taken a double credit for the amounts.
This is easy of demonstration. In the
statement for February, the Secretary
gives the amount of that portion of
the debt consisting of demand and le-
al tender notes and fractional curren.
cy at $396,773,771 12; in the state
ment for March he fixes the same at ons
ly $396,060,017 53, thus taken credit
for a reduction of $713,753 59. There
fore, when he claimes that amount of
currency must afterward be again de-
ducted from the gross amount of the
debt, as assets in the Treasury, he askes
a double credit. This is a fair speci
men of the jagglery by which Secreta.
ry Boutwell attempts to deceive the
public. But his trick, though artful,
will not impose on any save ‘the most
credulous of his own party. So long
as the principal of the debt continues
to increase, the common sense of the
American people will regard Mr. Bout-
well's monthly boaets as the mere ad-
vertisement of a quack whose nostrums
require too much puffing to be safe and
wholesome medicine. His addition of
the interest to the principal of the debt,
so that he may claim a reduction of
the principal by the payment of the
interest, the duplicated credits which
he sets down in his statements,
the claim that the redeemed govern-
ment promises to pay must be regard.

character of the public debt.— Harris:

“The Day We Celebrate” —St Pat
rick.
Protestants not less than Catholics
claim and possess an interest in the la.
bors and renown of the illustrious apos-
tle of Erin. ‘We should, therefore, be
justly chargable with neglect of duty
if we allowed his day, the anniversary
of his birth into immortal life, to pass
without recognition. Whatever legends
may have becoma associated with his
name, in sober history he must always
hold a distinguished place among the
civilizers and benefactors of mankind’
The following short account of him we
translate fromthe lectures of one of
the most eminent and judicious Protes-
tant historians of Germany:
“Who has not heard of St. Patrick,
the patron Saint of Ireland? Less
known, however, is his paternal name,
Succath, About the year of our Lord
372, he was born in the Scottish village
of Bonaven (between Dunbritton and
Glasgow) which afterwards, in his
honor, took the name of Kirk or Kil
Patrick. He was the son of a poor,
unlearned priest's assistant of the vil-
lage church; no especial care was’ be-
stowed upon his education, but he must
early have received pious impressions
which afterward revived within him
and qualified him to become an apostle
to the heathen. When sixteen or sev-
enteen years old he was dragged away
by pirates into eaptivity on the north-
ern coast of ancient Hibernia; he was
sold to an Irish prince who set him to
keep his herds. Wandering about
with his charge over a lonely pasture
age, amidst snow and ice, he was woot
to lift up his sonl to God in: the silent
meditation of divine things. He be-
came attentive to the condition of his
inner life, and troubled about his sius.
As he afterward confessed, he used to
utter a hundred prayers by day and as
many by night. Oneg, in a dream, he
thought he Leard a leayenly voice
which promised him restoration to his
home, and showed him a ship ready to
convey him. - He arose immediately,
and, hurrying to the sea shore, really
found a vessel just ready to set sail
But the Captain, refused to take the
poor young man’ with him, ‘falling
on his knees to implore the favor, one
of the ship's conipany offersd ‘him a
passage. After a difficult and danger-
ous journey, Patrick once more reach
his friends. ~ Ten years later he became
a second time a captive of pirates; but
obtained his freedom after a short in-
terval. - His parents were now resolved
that he should never leave them. But
Patrick felt himself impelled in spirit
to declare the word of salvation even
to the peaple among whom he had
spent the years of his youth and under
whose sky he had first been won for
heaven. In this resolution’ he was
confirmed “throngh ~ nightly dream
visions. Thus, in a dream he seemed
to himself to read a letter wherein the
words stood written: ‘Wa beseech
thee, child of God, comennd again live
among us.” In vain his relatives sought
to retain him; Patrick set out upon
his travels, He was then in the forty
fifth year of his age. He entered with
energy on his work. By beat of kettle
drum he simmoned the multitude to-
gether in the open fields, and pro-
claimed to them the word of the cross.
The priests of the land,” the Druids,
opposed him and stirred up the people
against him ; yet he soon succeeded in
drawing to himself an assistant in the
person of a young man of good social
of Benignus, and who'in his pleasing
voice, sang the songs which he learned
from his master. By this simple means
he is said to have won many souls.

monasteries that there should bs no
lack of seminaries for the future teach-
ers and pastors of the peopl: whom he
so much loved. The first an most es:
sential instrument of culture he him-
self provided for the Irish, by the int
vention of an alphabet for their lan-
guage. Patrick attained a great age
of between ninety and one handred
years ; some, indeed, suy thit he lived
to be one hundred and twenty years
old. His memory continued to live
among the people and was manifoldly
celebrated in songs.”
Tu these songs, in the course of time,
$0 many stories of wonder ‘were embod:
fed, and diffused, that much injustice
was done to the renown of ‘the great
missionary. Hence, after a while, in
the South of Europé Saint Patrick be-
came almost a mythical character.
Aviosto, a Catholic poet, ‘alluding to
him’ mentions the country, of his toils
as Thernia fabulosa, perhaps translatas
ble as Ireland given to fuble'making,
or abounding in fables. But some of
his writings, his confessions among the
others, survive, and the learned Dr.
Geoffrey Keating states that no less
than sixty four ht lives of
Saint Patrick are still extant in the
Gaelic language. Many authorities
say that Bonaven, his birth place, was
in Armorican Gaul.” 'DBut'ivhether he
was French or Scotch by birth no
doubt exists as to his important labora
and their resu ts.
It is certain that he divided Ireland
into departments, from each of which
he required one tenth of the land, one
tenth of the inhabitants and one tenth
of the cattle for the use of the church.
The churche’s portion of the men and
women he made monks and nuns who
cattle assigned with them. Hence, as
Dr. Keating says, “in a short time as
a consequence of these regulations there
was no corner, no desert or remote
spot which was not fall of saints and
holy persons—aud hence ans the
nations of Christendom Ireland got
the name of insula sanctorum, or Isle
of Saints.” By thi: consecration there
were 355 bishops in the island, each
church having its own bishop. Saint
Patrick founded the archiepiscapal
sees of Armagh and Cashel.
In the Lives of the Saints by the
Rev. Alban Butler, the account of
Saint Patrick is as sober a narrative as
the account which we have quoted
above from Protestant writer. In a
note Mr. Butler says:
“The popular tradition attributes
the exemption of their country from
venomous creatures to the benediction
of St. Patrick, given by his staff, called
the staff of Jesus, which, was kept with
great veneration in Dublin in 1360.
The isle of Malta is said to derive a
like priviiege from St. Paul, who was
there bit by a viper.”
In another note the same writer re-
fors as follows toa place often coupled
with the Saint's name:
«Saint Patrick’s purgatory is a ‘cave
in an island in the fake Dearg, in the
county of Donegall, near the borders
of Fermanagh. Dollandus shows the
ful:ehood of many things related con-
cerning it. Upon complaint of certain
superstitious and false notions of the
vulgar, in 1497 it was stopped up by
an order of the Pope, It was'soon af:
ter opened again by the inhabitants,
but only according to the original in-
stitution, as a penitential retirement
for those who voluntarily chose it, pro-
bably in imitation of Saint Patrick, or
other saints who had there dedicated
themselves to a penitential state. The
penitents usually spend there several
days, living on bread and water, lying
on’ rushes or farze, and praying mueh,
with daily stations which they perform
barefoot.”
