THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Butler, Pa.. Wednesday, Jan. 11,1865.
Political Summary.
Gov. I'lctchcr, the newly elected radi
cal Governor of Missouri, was inaugura
ted on the 2d hint. He takes strong
grounds in favor of forever redding the
State of slavery mid treason, the first, by
constitutional provisions, and tlio second,
l'jr disfranchising and other visas, embar
rassing all who have had sympathy with
the rebellion, lie also makes some good
suggestions a 9 to perfecting the education
al department of the State; and particu
larly recommends ample provision to bq
made for the education of soldier's or
phan's; this is praiseworthy. It is witli
much satisfaction that we reflect that in
this eminently just policy, Missouri has
Jiccn anticipated by our own patriotic
Commonwealth. We believe I'ennsylva
' uia has been the first to uiovo in this good
work. Not waiting till the war is over
but at OIH>C addressing herself to evcry
• duty
Gov. Fcnton, the newly claeted Exe
cutive of New York, was also inaugura
ted on the same day. Gov. Seymour
made a very interesting, and rather pa
triotic s|«cch on the occasion, wishing the
Gov. elect great personal and official suc
cess, to which Fenton responded in prop
er terms, immediately on his inaugur
ation, Gov. Fenton issued a Proclama
tion, calling the attention of the peaple to
the fact that more troops are called for,
'for the Union armies, and urges a prompt
patriotic endeavor to fill up the quota of the
•'Htate: The burning patriotism with which
this paper abounds, is in striking contrast
with the artful, cold productions of Sey
mour. The Empire State may well re
joice, that they have at last got rid of the
reign of that class of politicians who have
been ruining her reputation as a loyal
State, for tlio last two years—she now
tekes her stand as she should, as one of
the foremost supporters of the national
Administration.
The Legislatures of most of the loyal
states, are in session. Our own was or.
ganiised at Harrisburg, on Tuesday the 3d
inst., by the election of Mr. Turrell, of
iSusquehannah, as speaker of the Senate,
and the following officers:
Chief Clerk —Geo W. Ilamnicrsly, of
Philadelphia.
Assistant Clerk—Lucius liogers.
Transcribing Clerks—K. Williams,
Martin Orbady, E. K. Haines, Henry
Catline, and F. I>. Dewolf, ( Butler Co.)
Scrgt-at- arms—.John (!. Martin.
Assistant Sergt.—Jan. S. Johnson, C.
"Williams.
Door Keeper—Joseph Riblct.
Assistants —J. 11. llins, L. M. Novin- j
per. Frank 11. AcufT. Jacob 11. Kline, |
Joseph T. Thompson and John A. Ar i
nold. t
Mcsicngcr—Wm. Duffy.
Assistant—Win. Shields.
And by the election of Mr. Olmstead of
Potter, as Speaker of the House; the '
following is the remaining officers which
complete the organisation :
Chief Clerk—A. W. Benedict.
Assistant—W. 11. Penniston
Postmaster—Alexander Adair.
Sorgt-at-arms—('. K. Idell.
Door Keeper—J. T. M Junkin, (of
Butler Co.)
Messengers—Asa Nicholas.
Transcribing Clerks—C. W. Walker,
C. 1). 11, irlan, Joseph Williamson and [
Thos. . Kerr.
On the 4th inst.., tin antl Slavery con
vention met at Frankfort Kentucky. Reso
lutions were passed adhering to the Balti
moie Platform, and requesting their rep
resentatives in Congress to vote fur the
Constitutional Amendment abolishing
slavery and inviting the Legislature to in
struct them to that effect.
The Legislature of Indiana, convened
r.n the sth inst.. the House elected John
N. Petitt, Republican, Speaker ; but the
Senate'being composed of an equal num
ber of each party, (as was our own Sen
ate last winter) is still unorganized, but
will soon be relieved from that embarras
sing position by the inauguration of the
Gov. and Lieut. Gov., the latter of whom
will have the casting vote in the Senate.
The Legislatures of Michigan, Mary
land and others are also under way—thus
from one end of the country to the other,
the various State Government are not
only organized, but are in complete liar- 1
mony, alike with the Federal Govern
ment, and with each other, this is encour
aging. In what striking contrast is this '
harmony with the discordent and ring
ling condition of Rebeldom. North Caro
lina debating about State Sovereignty,
Georgia abandoned by her officials, al
most entirely ; Savannah declaring for
the old Union; Atlanta in ashes! and
Richmond still beleaguered by a veteran
army—surely the sigus are propitious.
Mis* Annal>it'ki'n»oii'* Lecture
Notwithstanding the extreme inclemen
cy of the weather, Concert Hall was
crowded last evening to its extremest cor
ners tt> hear the lecture of this eloquent
young lady upon " The morning of the
Election." The subject was a grand one,
aid graudlv did the speaker rise to it.—
With grapfiic force she traced the pro
gress of opiniou from the ow point it oc
cupied at the beginning of this war, up
through its successive stages, marked by
toil and agony and blood, to the grand ut
terance fo a nation baptised in blood, as!
pronounced by the election of the Sih of |
November. But that was not enough;
the goal is not yet reached ; end she point
ed forward to the time when the black
man should nfrtbe afreeilmnn , but a FRKE
mas—when traitors should meet their
just deserts—when those who stood side
by side with white men on the battle-field
should rise to the enjoyment of equal po
litical privileges. Miss Dickenson is a
good deal in advance of the average pub
lic sentiment of the country on some
points; but if the march of public opin
ion progresses for thrco years longer as it
has for three years past, her views, so fer
vidly uttered, and so bold and startling,
will become the calm and settled senti
ment of the nation.
This gifted lady, when in a state of re
pose, has nothing in her appearance to
distinguish her from other handsome
young women. But when aroused by her
theme, and the burning words leap forth
strong, ringing, clear and penetrating,the
hearer forgets for the moment that they
flow from the lips of one of the gentler
sex, so masculine are the thoughts, and
so br.ld, and yet so choice, is the language
in which they are clothed. Iler perora
tion was thrillingly eloquent and grand.
Com. Jour.
The On. Citv Mi-hdeii.—Another ar
rest was made in this city, on Monday, of
a man supposed to have been concerned
in the murder of John McEate, at Oil
City. When the facts were sifted,it was
found that there was not a shadow of sus
picion against him and he was discharged.
It was alleged that thisman acted sirange
ly; was incessant) / talking about the Mc-
Fate murder; and was heard to reveal
something in his sleep about the bloody
deed. The information was conveyed by
a certain female, to a particular friend,
who, in view of the very large reward of
fered, hastened to inform the police. But
it turned out that the supposed bloody
banded individual had excited the jeal
ousy of the lady aforesaid, by abandoning
her society for that of another, and she
concocted the dreamy revelatiod out of
revenge. None of the parties are "orna
ments to society," and the man was about
to leave the city with his new " flame"
when lie was arrested. He can go now
with hindrance.— Pitts. Cum.

Correction of Enrollment.

IN order to secure the assistance and co-operation of
the people in tho endeavor to keep tin- Enrollment List*
oontinually correct, the Enrolling Board* have been di
rected to have copit* of said lists kept open to the ex
amination of the public at all pro|>er times, and shall
give public notice that any person may appear before the
Board and have any matwttiicken ofl the list, if he can
show, to the (satisfaction of the Board, that the person
named is not properly enrolled, on accouut of

fico jftQTt dutiug the present war and been honorably
discharged.
Especially Civil officers, Clergymen, and all prominent
citlsens, are invited to appear at nil times before the
Board to jroiiit out eiror* HI the Lists, and to give such
information in their p<«*e*siou a* may aid iu tho correc
tion and revision thereof
They should •understand ihtt It i* plainly for the in
terest of each snbdistrict to have stricken from the I.l*l*,
all names improperly enrolled, because an excess of
names increases :!iv quota called for-from such sub-dis
trict* ; and that it is equally for the interest of each per- 1
sou enrolled iu a given sub-district to place upon the List* j
all persons in the sub-district liable to do military duty, |
b<s au-*e the greater the number to be di awn from, the less I
the chance that any particular Individual will be drawn, j
It is the personal interest of every enrolled man, that 1
the quotaiu which he is concerned shall not be made too |
large, aud that his own chance for draft shall not be un- I
justly increased; both these objects will be attained if'
all parties will aid in striking out the wrong names and i
putting iu the right ones. Especially in this the inter- ;
est of those drafted men who by putting in Substitutes i
themselves liable to draft, have secured exemption which !
by the terms of the Uw hold** good only until thepre*-
cnt Enrollment is exhausted in their sub-district*. Men
who are over 45 year* of age,and in consequence excused
by Law from the |»erformaiice of duty in the field, owe it
to thu cause and the country to take a «*«i/oKjtaud active
part in the correction of the Enrollment Lists,a military
service of the first importance. The Uw require* that
the quotas shall be assigned iu proportion to the enroll
ment, and the fairness and justice of thi* mode of deter
mining the amount of military, service due from each
and every SMWtiou of the country, cannot be doubted if
the enrolment is made as nearly perfect as it is practi
cable, to make it. The amount of service due to the
Nation from every Towaor County, is thus laid fairly i
and plainly before the citizen*, and it is expected that a
higher motive than a selfish interest will prompt all to
do their share in perfecting the enrollment, and securing
ajust and efficient execution of the laws for raising troops,
whenever it becomes necessary to apply them.

U. S. 7-30 Loan.
Till Secretary of the Treasury gives notice that sub
scriptionf will be received for Coupon Treasury Notes,
payable three years from Aag. 16tb, IMU, with semi-an
nual interest at a rate of seven ami three-tenths per
cent, per annum—principal and interest both to be paid
in lawful money.
The*® notes will be convertible at tbs option of the
holder at maturity, Into six per cent, goldboarlng bonds,
payable not leas than five nor more than twenty yeara
from their date, as the Government may elect. They
will be issued In denominations of SSO, SIOO, SSOO, $1,009
and $5,000, and all subscriptions must be for fifty dollars
or some multiple of fifty dollars.
The notes will be transmitted to the owners free of
transportation charges as soon after the rocelpt of tho
original Certificate of Deposit aa they can be prepared.
As the notes draw Interest from August 15, person*
making deposits subsequent to that dato must pay tho
Interest accrued from date of note to date of deposit.
Parties deputing twenty-five thousand dollars and
upwards for these notes at any one time will bo allowed
a commission of one-quarter of one per cent., which will
be paid by the Treasury Department upon tho receipt of
a bill for tho amount, certified by the officer with whom
the deposit was made. No deductions for commission*
must be made from the deposits.
Soecial Advantages of This Loan,
IT IS A NATIONAL SAYIMO* BAND, offering a higher rate
of Interest than any other, and the l*st security. Any
savings bank which pays its depositor* in U. 8. Note-,
considers that it is paying In tho best circulating medium
of the country, and it cannot pay in anything hotter, fur
its own assets are either in government securities or In
notes or IHMKIS payable in government paper.
It is equally conveniot as a temporary or permanent
investment. The notes can always bo sold for within a
fraction of their fare and accumulated interest, and are
tho l»est security with tanks ns collaterals for disnnnts.
Convertible into a Bix per cent. 5 20 Gold Bond.
In addition to the very liberal interest ou the notes for
three years, this pririlego of conversion is now worth
about three percent, per annum, for the current rate for
5-20 Bonds Is not less than nine per cent, premium, and
before tho war the premium in six per cent. U. S. stocks
was over twenty per cent. It vill be seen that tho ac
! tual profit on this loan, at the present market rate, ii not
loss than ten per cent, per annum.
Its Exemption from State or Municipal Taxation.
But aside from all the advantages wo ha-s enumera
ted, a special Act of Congresa exempt* all bonds and
Treasury notes from lacal taxation. On tho average,
this exemption is worth abont two per cent, per annum,
oecording to the rate of taxation in various parts of the
country.
It is believed that no securities offer so great induce
ments to lenders as thoee issued by the government.—
In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability
of private parties, or stock companies, or separate com
unities, ouly, ia pledged far pay incut, while tho whole
property of the country Is held to secure the discharge
of all the obligations of tha Uniied States.
While the government offers the most liberal terms
for It* loans. It believes that the very strongest appeal
will be tho loyalty and patriotism of tho peoplo.
Drplicate certificates will be issued fur all deposits.—
Tho party depositing mnst endorse upon the original
certificate tho denomination of notes roquirod, and
whether they are to be issued in blank or payable to or
dor. When so endorsed it must be left with the officer
receiving the-deposit, to bo forwarded to the Treasury
I>epartment.
SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BB RFCIITKD by the Treasurer o
the United States, at Washington, the several Assistant
Treasurers and designated Depositaries, and by tho
First IN'nllonnl llitiilt of
