While upon his trip to Nlagara Mr:
Twain met a British officer with the fell
iug result; - - He says:
At the principal-hotelfell in with the
Major of the Forty-second Fusileers and
a dozen other hearty and hospitable En
glishmen, and they invited, me to join
:them in celebrating the Queen's
clay. I said I would be delighted to do
it. - I said I liked all the Englishmen .
had ever happened to be acquainted:
-with, - and thatl, like all my CountrymenT
admired and honored, the Queen. But
I saiti there was. one insuperable dt:aw
hack—l never drank anything strong
_upon_any-occasion—whate*er,-ambl--did - -
not see how I was going to do ample and
fsjer justice to anybody's birthday with
the thin and ungenerbus beverages I was
accustomed to. The Major scratched
his head'and ihought over the matter at
co , miderable length, but there seemed to
lie do way of mastering the difficulty,.
and he was too much of a gentleman to
suggest even a temporary abandonment
of my principles. But by and by he
I said :
'"I Alive it. Drink soda water. As
long as you never drink anything 111QIT
nutritious there is n't any impropriety in
it!"
And so it was settled. We met in a
large parlor handsomely decorated with
flags and evergreens, and seated our
selves at a board well laden with crea
tine comforts, Loth solid and liquid.
.The toasts were happy and the speeches
wore good, and we kept it up long aftbr
midnight. I never enjoyed myself more
in my life. 'I drank thirty-eight bottles
of soda w.ater. But do you know that
this is not a reliable article for a steady
drink? It is too gassy. When I got up
in the morning I was full of gas and. as
tight as a balloon. I had n't an article of
clothing that I could wear except my.
umbrella. .
After breakfast I found the Major
making grand preparations again. I
asked what it was. for, and ho said this
Was the Prince of Wales's birthday. It
had to be celebrated that evening. We
celebrated it. Much against my expec
tations •wo had 'another splendid time.
We kept it up until some time after mid
night again. 1 was tired of soda, and
so I
_changed oil'for lemonade. __l drank,

several quarts. You may consider lem
onade better for a steady drink than
soda water, but it is n't so. In the
morning it had soured on any stomach.

LET2'ER OF COMMISSIOKER
WELLS.
The following -is.thc letter of-David -
A. Wells, U. S. Commissioner of Rove
mie, to Thos. It. Dudley, United States
Consul . at Liverpool, in regard to the .
present financial condition and prospects
of,the-UniteaStates, to which reference
was made in a cable dispatch front' Lon
don, recently Published in the news
papers: -.
Treasury . Departm 7 e - iit, Washington,
August 19, ISM—Dear Sir: In answer
to the inquiry in your note of the sixth, as
- to the probable surplus revenue of the
United States which can be wade appli
cable during the cun'ent fiscal year for a
further :tiful cootinued: reductiorfocjhe.
„publie debt, I place of giving'
you a direct and specific opinion, ask
your Attention_te_the_following figures.
The-account of the treasury for the •
year which ,ended on Jnne 30, ha;Te
not yet beco fully completed, but enough
is at present known to make it certain
that the excess of receipts over expendi
tures was at least $48,000,00 . 0—i. e., re
ceipts $371,000,000, expenditures $328,-
000,000..
As no raditil, chaOge in the laws iiff
posing taxation or in the business of the
country can be immediately anticipated;
we are-warranted in believing that the
.above surplus will - at least be Contiimc . tl .
dm ing the current ye;ir, and we there- .
:ore assume it as the basis of our esti
mate:
To this amount must be added two
specific items. of expenditure provided
for our current receipts during the last
fiscal year, which will not be carried
over into the preS•ent year, and must,
therefore, be reckoned as a net gain to
the Treasury, viz: $18,000,000 required
to- complete the payments for extra
bounties, and $7,100,000 in gold (equiva
lent, to $9000,000 currency) disbursed in
payment of the Alaska purchase.
The present annual elasticity of the
revenue, or its incrcasdfrom the increase
of the country in wealth and population,
will average at present $15,000,000, while
the gain from the rigid system of econo
my inaugurated by the.present admini
stnition, and from a more faithful col
lection of its taxes,, will undoubtedly
equal and probably exceed $30,000,000.
The sum of the several Rents will be
found. to be $120,000,000, which approx.
imately indicate the amOunt of surplus
revenue which is likely to be placed at
the disposal of the treasury during the
current fiscal year, and made applicable
for the further reduction of-the national
debt., ;
It only remains for mo to call Your at
tention to the fact that an annual invest-
Mont of $10,000;000, at six per cent, in a
sinking fund, will extinguish the entire
principal of our debt in le . ssthan lei years,
or if the contribution to the sinking fund
be .limited. to .150,000,000
,pe• annum at
six per cent, (and a smallex contribution
than tliinisnoi; in aceordaike wttli pop
ular sentiment,) the-law:win only bonx:
tended to 28 Years ; and between these
periods you have, in my opinian, the ex ,
act time when the present public debt of
the United States Will be extinguishel

crisis worthy of public attention. .The

'common place of, departure, so Chicago. -
and Bt. Louifi arc the'• common places of
arrival, and 'fife efforts -to. reach those

now they' aro struggling desperately,
the New York ; Central - and the Brie

Pennsylvania, with its,heavy rails (well
'joint), stoup hidlast, and short route
could easily make quicker time than at

situation in this respect, but in another,
viz., that it controls the whole route be
tween Philadelphia and Chicrojci, and
wollis in the most pelted, sympathy with
the firt class line between this 'city and

THE RESULT
At the lime of going to press, we have
of course, no official returns of the -elec
tion last Tuesday, and therefore can Only
give estimates; based upon reported ma
jorities from the different counties. We
have undoubtedly elected Governooeary
by nearly 1,000 • majority, -and Igo
Williams by perhapS nearly 10,000.
The Legislature will doubtless be Repub
lican in both branches, and the majority
on :joint ballot, nearly . the same as that
of last year:.
In Ohio wo have doubtless elected
Governor Hayes, and a Republican Leg
islature, and in lowa swept the board by
very decisive majoritid. Wo predicate
these opinions on the admissions con
tained in Democratic joutnalS Which
have came to mir,7 ll .
otiee \ apd_our fricnr
maytherefore.rkunonilienras being sub
stantially correct.
At first thought theroAs an evident
feeling of disappointment among our
friends that our majority in 'Pennsylya-.
nia .should have , been reduced, but a
little reflection will easily , suggest th.
true cause. In addition to the unfa*-
chic weather, which' always injures .tho
majority' party at an election, we nitt
'remember that this is tho first contest
since the Presidential election, and there
fore always unfavorable-for the partyin
power. A reaction always follows a
period of great political e3teitement
which' f 3 sure to diniiinisG the Interest fat .
by the people in an election vid .conso - •
quently to prevent the polling of thelull
vote.' This of itself wmild_account for
the - apathy and indifference manifeSted
by our friends in this campaign, which
nearly Cost us the Control of the State
"for :the next three years.' The Demo
cracy had also entered the contest with
more than their usual determination to
- Thep had enormous wealth' to
assist their efforts and to stiMulate their
partizans. They nominated a candi
datb who had no recent Political record,
and ono who had been for ears Stndions
ly shaping his conduct to Secure Guber
natorial honors. They, discarded all
issues whatever' - and niado the entire
canvass a,personal ono, charging,upon
Gov. Geary not only: all the errors of
party legislation s but - invented: "stories
without • foundation, to prejudice the
inindri of the people against, -him. And
yet in spite of weather, treachery, money,.
misrpreSentation and fraud we havo.al
most saved the narrow Margin of - Hart
rallies majority of b *our. When
viewed in the light of till, the surround
ing§ Geary may congratulate Jilin
self on his reelection, -not only as aivindi,
Cation of his administration,' but as' duo
to, it great, degice, to his tact, energy 04

his 'oldidort in fainiliar endinfOrmal style
to no gentleman who accompanied him.
In discuSsing the Agricultural and
Manufacturing Interests of the country;
thi) Presicldnt remarked that the anintal
importation of iron and steel, and other
inanufactures which could be as well pro
duced' at hoine, amounted to merethan
. $100;000,000. This he supposed to be what
was required for consumption over ° and
above the'domestic supply, and ho asked.
a gentlernan familiar with the iioii, 'busi
ness, within' What length of tinie'•::thO
home product of iron might be expected
to become sufficient for the conniry.
In reply to this, 71r..u. stated tpat thin
amount imported did not indicate an in
ability of the country to produce all that
is iiecdcd. That the prosperity of do
mestic manufactures stimulated 'demand
and enabled Consumers to buy and bay
for kinds and shape of foreign iron, not
in this country, or notmmde so cheaply
here. That notwithstanding the proS
perity of the business the average Mofits.
were not larger.than those derived froM
'capital invested in other ways, and that
duties undo:. the present tariff were not
so high as to prevent foreign competition,
yet high enough, if maintained to ex
tefid-the home manufacture, and ulti
mately to obviate the necessity of Mak
ing largo purchases abroad,
The President then said glut he
thought it very desirable that We should
have a sufficient supply from dome9tic
souree3,, and thus benefit the labok of the
country, and effect a saving of millions
of. dolla , a_now annually expended fol
foreign iron and steel. -
. Mr. H. alluded in. teems of commen
dation to Mr. Boutwell's successad man
agement of the Treasury, and of the
larg,9 reductions of the public.
,delA
which he had . eflated. .
.presitrent- responded - by saying'
that Bent:well was doing nobly. • '
They° weighty words show that the
President understands the importance of
stinitlati lig. home industry as u means'of
benctltting - the Workingman, and of sus="
twining and iniproving the financial credit
of the Government.
THE COUNTY ELECTION
We . give below the returns of.
the •electinn in this comity as `tiff'?
as We aro able to obtain them at
the time of going to press. The result
shows that wo have been defeated by a
majority of abont 900, on the Sate tic'.et.
A bumper of'iur candidates for county
offices received considerably More. than
their party vote and the majority against
tffebi is liissriliab against the,„Statei tick,-
et. Messrs. Kimmel, Line, Foust, and
one or two others received: very
,com
plimentary votes in their own district.
This was due to thkibn account, of their
personal Merits, and we congratulate
them on the deserved complimOnt. .
We do not conceal our mortification at
the result of Tuesday's vote in this coun
ty. Packer's majority should not have
been above GOO, and would not have been
more than that figure if our friends had
dobe their full duty toward the. party by
coming out to the election. - That there
were 30041undred Republicans who re
mained at Mime from sheer' indifference,
there can be no doubt. Wo know the
manifold excuse that can be offered for
this conduct:, liaib, work, and one hun
tired trivial matters will be suggested by
scores of persons who were not at their
posts on last Tuesday. But let these re
member that their indifference lies
thrown a still greater load on the work
ingmen of the party and has encouragjd
the leaders of the Democracy to believe
that their insolent ignoring of all , the
rights of Republicans in this county, nd
their lavish and wasteful - expentlitur of
'the public funds, lids been sand' ned
by the people in an increase of their ma
jority. We hope our friends who thus
neglected their duty will not hereafter
complain of Democratic misrule.

ing so largo a siirplus beyond existing'
coin liabilities? Why not reduce this
surplus by selling at least one-half of it,
and investing the. proceeds in Govern
ment bonds? There are four advan
tages to arise from this coUrse; first, the
profit to the Government on the premium .
on gold
,; secondly, the, saving of just so
much interest on the public debt ;
third
ly, the virtual pfirchase of the bonds at
-less than par by all the difference between
their currency -value and the currency
value .of gold; fourthly, the-benefit-to
the public arising from increasing the
supply, ofeirculating gold and truce
make it shore "difficulty for the gad
gamblers to carry out their schemes.
Less gold in the Treasury means more
gold in circulation. Mr. liontwell's
moVement is in the right direction. Our
only criticism is, that it is not quite fast
enough. We would sell more, gold, and
buy more bond''
The,de4Pif the Government stood at
its maximum point in August, 1803,
when' it Was:more - than: 2,700 millions ;
and P•inCe this period it has been reduced
by about '3OO millions , which is equal to
one-ninth of UM whole amount. The
redemption right Inn; already Matured in
1 1
respect to $040,000,000 of the Five-Twen-,
ties; The same right will mature in re:
spcct to the reinainder in 1870, 1872, and
187A_respectively, and in respect to the
Ten-Vpities in 1874. We believe_ that
this entire amount, which includes nearly
the Whole debt, may be either funded
cheaper interest rate or paid off before
the expiration of 1874: • This will-give
the Governmerft—tti:e advantages arising
from the appreciation of its bonds, instead
