• Tun State Central Cominittee - has
issued - a call foi; a Republican State
Convention, to be held' at Itavisburg,
March 10. * The duty of -the Convention
Will be to nominate candidates for the
offices of Auditor and Surveyor General,
and to prepare for a vigorous prosecu
tion of the campaign. Ad the coming
election in Pennsylvania will be regarded
as almost settling the contest for Presi
dent in 1872, it is useless to dilate on
the importance• that attaches to the
meeting of the coming convention.
It is imperative for., the good of-the
country, and the existance of our organi
zation, that we succeed in electing our
candidates next Fall, by 'a decisive ma
jority. A defeat in Pennsylvania would
be a.disaster which no subsequent effort
could remedy. A Republican President
cannot chosen in 1872,'Witliout the
vote of - Pennsylvania, and that vote can
not be obtained if the Democihts carry
tho State at the next election. To a
argor extent then, than at any formr„ r
time since the formation of the r[arty,
are we now ;dependent. on the wisdom
of those who plan the cominp: cam p a i gn ,
and on the energy of thor,o who are ea..'
trusted with its execut!,on.
In the selection of candidates, the con
vention should 'no moved by no other
consideration than the persOnal fitness
and strength of the nominees. There
should be no such thing as the formation
of rings or factions to control the action
Of the delegates. Lot men be chosen iu
whom every, true Republican has im
plicit confidence, and then let all wings
of the party yield a most hearty and yig
orous support. '
e as cec ioufl demonstrated
the necessity of harmony in our ranks,.
and fealty to the 'party organization.
Unquestionably three Republican Sena
tors were lost at the last election, be
cause of personal or factional considera
tions. "Eveuy RepOlictin now sees the
folly and madness of the bickering' and
jealousies amongst us, -which made it
possible for the Democracy to 'control
the Senate. Their very first public act
was the denial of the right to investigate
the frauds which 'gave them supremacy
at last. If Republicans are indifferent
to the success of their own Tay, or pre
fer their private interests to those of our
organization, they cannot afford to risk
their rights as citizeds, in the hands of
the revolutionary and desperate gang of
adventurers, who now control the Demo
cratic party. But if an imprudent or
weak nomination be now made, it requires
no prophet to foretell the result.
We had, last Fall, in spite of our bicker
ing"' and trouble, a popular majority
nOtiniktriess - than 10,000. We had the
materialo have doubled it. We have
now in the State, votes enough to give
us the, greatest victory we have won
since 18G0, if the convention shall make
such a nomination as will thoroughly
inspire the people, of the State 'with
confidence and respect. The Convention
will hold in its hand the future of the
litumiblicanpastyi_and wd implore-its
-
members to act with wisdom, and good
faith.
Tits Secretary of, the Treasury, has
gigii - notice; - that he will attempt fund
ing the Natio 1 debt at a lower rate of
interest, than i is at present bearing.
It - was - contemp ate to - do - -thiTsoonafter
the passage.of the funding bill, at the
last,-session of Congress, •but doubtless,
the financial derangement caused by the
European war, would have rendered this
impossible. It is intended now to open
the books for the new loan on the sixth
of March next.
In view of this action of the Govern
ment, and the manifest adiantago of
reducing the interest paid on our Na
tional debt, it should "be the aim of all
who appreciate their'own best interests,
to give the project their encouragement.
It will, if successful, not only relieve the
country of the, payment of a high rate
of interest, but it will enhance the value
of its currency, and very much reduce
the,rates at which money can 'be bor
rowed for ordinary busintss purposes.
Perhaps the most serious inconvenience
the National debt - now imposes ou the
country, is the fact that vast sums of
money that had formerly been loaned at.
low rates to active business, found their
way into the Government loan, on
account of the full rate of interest, and
the certainty of 'its prompt payment.
A scarcity of loaning capital being thus
produced, borrowerr very frequently
found difficulty in obtaining money, even
when their operations wore of the most
prudent and legitimate character. The
premium on the GoVernment bonds, at
present, shows how greatly capital
gravitates to that investment, notwith
standing, the many other avenues for its
employment.
The new loan will have all the features
of the present bonds. It will be free
from taxation, and its Interest and
principal aro made payable in gold by'
the terms of the act. It is more secure,
inasmuch as the GOvernment at the tine
of the first loan was unable to pay its
daily expenses, while it is now rapidly
reducing its debt. The danger of instil
veney does, not' exist, and the question
of repudiation has, little chance of be- I
ing revived. Altogether no government
or corporation ever attempted to'borrow
money under more favorable eirenmstan
ces, and the - entire - loan - should be'taktin
without difficulty. j.et the Press sec
ond the efforts of Secretary - Bontwell, , ,
in this undertaking with the earnestness
they implored the people' to :minicab
for the first loan, and very soon we will
Witness a very nitrated improvement in
the financial affairs of the Nation.

HARRISBURG LETTER
ITAllursilu.no, February 10871
The Senate, last week, by the very
significant vots of 2.5 to 6 passed the act
transferring the management of the
Soldiers' Orphans to the Department of
Common School. This is, we think,
rather hasty and ill-considered legisla
tion, and itris, very doubtful if the Hobse
will concur in the act passed by the 'Sen
ate. If it does not, of course the Sol
diers' Orphans' Department will remain
as it is. In the meantime, no action has
been' taken by the Sonata on Mr. Wick
,orsham:a_nomination, nor there be
until the House disposes of the bill.
The Senate, also, made an important
change in the election law, with regard
to local elections, by an act passed on
Thtirsday, the township, ward, and bor
ough eleCtions are to be held iu the
Spring, instead of at the time of the gen
eral election. 'This act :applies to -- the
Whole 'Slate, except Philadelphia. It is
most probable the act will also pass the
House by a very decided majority, There,
a•enni • to' be a •groping Conviction that
the present law does not" work well in
that respect.
The House has been occupied with
local - bills, personal explanations, and
general debate, during the week. The
only very important measure was the
consideration of an act to provide for
the calling of a State convention. This
opened a wide Sold for speech-making
on general topics, and everybody who
could talk at all particbated. It was
very much the kind of a discussion that
took place , al former sessions on Hick
man's resolutions, or the Fifteenth
Amendment, The Democrats got on
their old war-Path, Rid accused the Re
publicans with a whole line of political
villainies, the greatest of which appeared
to be the last apportionment of the
State,. Mr. Woolover, - of Lehigh, a vory
pleasant gentleman, and of great weight,
corporeally, treated the House to a set
speech, in which he denounced, with
great energy, the sins of radicalism, and'
warned the people against supporting
any measure that originated with that
party. AS this is the first time that Mr.
Woolever, now in his second ternichas
addressed the House at length, he was
listened to with' considerable surprise
and astonishment. It was evident, from
the start, that his speech had been pre
pared by some one else, and that the genial
member was reciting it to impress his in
telligent constituents with his oratory,.
and thus prepare the way for Congres
sional honors.
The House, however, failed to see the
force of Mr. Woolever's speech. lie was
grehtly annaell with questions, and
suggestions from all sides, andthis most
eloquent passages brought out a good
deal of derisive laughter. When,, ho
concluded, Mr., Reinoehl, of Lancaster.
after a mock comparison of the Lehiglr;"
member with Daniel Webiter, moved
that the House adjourii. : t Altogether
Mr. Woolever's (Ant was the funniest
thing of the season, and nearly equal to
the famous performances of Beans,
Eschbach, and Base in former sessions.
The Goyernor's third reception was
given on Thursday evening, and was
very largely attended. It was notice
able that the attendance of the Members
of the Legislature, was much larger than_
fm any previous evening. The great'
crowd'of guests 'enjoyed a most delight
ful evening, and all who were there will
long remember the genial hospitality of,
tho Chief Magistrate and his estimable'
•
lady.

'and to quiet, as fares may be, apprehon
sion•which has been excited as „to, her

sailed froalsour York harbor at about
four o'plock on the afternoon of Tuesday,
the seventeenth oyanuary, on a v;oyago

the city of San Domingo ; that at the

That no ii / dvices have been received from

go.o3ince the time of her departure from,
:New York. That there are at this
season of-the year no line of ordinary
and regular communication from San
Domingo city or any other port in San
Domingo, to : place from which we
could, since ti.o.time the Tennessee was .
due at her destination, have received
telegraphic or other advises of her arrival .
or'nou-arrival. That no extraordinary
means of communication were provided,
and none are likely - to have been em
ployed, except in the case of disaster.
That since she crossed the gulf of Mexico,
probably about the latitude of 30 deg.
north, she would be out of the trace of
vessels bound for our ports, and that if
her voy age is successful we cannot expect
advims from her, except accidentally,
until the return of the Tyboo, which
makes the only regilltir line of communi
cation, and which will be due in Now

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
• \,
BOADS
Among
the best sacuy t ies for invest
ment at the present day ) ) undoubtedly,
first martgage railway bowls hold a Light
position ; and those to which we call
public attention in this article are par
excellence in this lino.
Their issue is made upon such a solid
basis as to leave no question as to their
safety, and they yield large rates of in
terest.
The national importance of the North
ern Pacific Railroad was believed to be
so great that Congress granted the most
stupendous land subsidy to the Com
pany, to aid in its construction, of which
we have any knowledge ; which, with
judicious management, will, in itself, be
fully equivalent. to a direct guaranty of
the payment of the bonds themselves.
This land grant, in area, is an empire in
itself, amounting- to 22,000 :lords per mile,
and ail aggregate of over 60,000,000
(sikt t Y millions) of acres, and is of more
varied and valuable physical character
than exists elsewhere• in the known
world.
The testimoiiy of scientific officers of
the United - States army who have
surveyed and reported upon all portions
of this belt, set forth, invariably, its rich
ness of soil, mildness and salubrity of
climate, its comparative exemption from
snow, its capacity of supporting a dense
population, in positive and uniform ac
cord. There is no section in the world
where the- certainty of large crops-of
wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, and - other
roots is assured ; and west ofthe Rocky
Mountains, on this belt, apples, pears,
-plums, cherries, and other fruits are
abundantly produ ed. _.
Our Waders mu 't bear in mind the fact
that the snow fall on the bel i t traversed
by this road are extremely light, rarely
exceeding two feet in depth in the highest
altitudes along the line; and much lighter
than it is in the Middle and New Eng
hind States. This fact is fully attested
by wan and beast. The pasturage of
this belt is a marvel to travellers. Tho
domestic cattle of Montana, Idaho, Da
kota and Wa'shington Territories range
out all winter, and aro fat in Maid'.
Mexican horses, brought hero by Indians,
are turned out to shift for themselves on
the range from latitude 15 'to 51, and
ootne in fat and strong in the spring.
Portions of this road will pass through
the Nyiuier-homes of buffalo, elk, deer
and antelope, which are always fat in
Spring. t Trains of pack:mules thrive
through the winter without forage while
-subjected toconsiderable service. '--'
There is no question as to the mildness
,of the climate, the richness of the Fell,
and the feasibility ofoperating daily
trains over. this road the Stear through
without interruption by snow. '
136 e -tides the agricultural resit:tureen of
this belt, veins of bituminous - coal of ex
' eellent quality and inexhaustible, quan
tities cross this route in various places.
Iron and oilier ores are also found in
abundance; and timber of the most valu
able species and of all' varieties, in quan7.,
titles beyond computation,. abound along
the belt of country through which tide
groat North Pacific Road will pass.
Such, then, is the general character of
the climate and productiveness of the
land, and the certain assurance of operat
ing the road'at all seasons. . The Truitees
are required to leap and have at all times
a oder their eontrol, as security for the first
mortgage boadhoiders, at least if v a hundred
'acres of overall* land to every thousand
dollars of outstanding ,bonds, besides the .
Railroad itself,. with its equipments and
franchises. - - ,
Can there bo - 'any, better 'sectirity ' than
this? Wo - think not. It is equal to a
bond and mertgage on improved City
property. ~ `,.., : , .
The value of this empire of land - . will
in part be measured by the revenue de'-
rived from aCompleted - road, and the 'in
ducements to settle upon the (lands. . .

SMALL PDX.
The. London fl'imes of the twenty
eighth ultimo says : The epidemic of
small pox'iim the metropolis has reached
an alarming height. In the first week
of the cnrrent mouth the deaths from
small pox were 79, while during the last
week, being the third of the month,
they had risen to the enormous number
of 188. Since the totals_ umber of deaths
during the week was 1,849, it appeirrs ,
that mole than ten per cent of the mor
talityM London is now due to this par-:
fectly preventible diseane. The deaths
are lIONT three times more numerousthan'
they have been at any time since the
passing, of the compulsory vaccination
act in 185:1 The small pox hospital at •1
Holloway is full, and admits 144 pa- .
bents; the Hampstead hospital now ac
commodates-478 patients, and prepara
tions are being rapidly made for 70 more, '
while even in the first week of-the month

— O - vllTlffirner iii tho workhouses liy the
poor law officers. FMther hospitals are
almost daily required, and this minter , '
ation.of patients takes rio account of the
cases which are privately treated. Every
ease is, atone period or another, a cen
tre of_ infection, and the seeds of con
tagion are spread over the whole me
tropolis.
London is suffering, in short . , front a
violent outbreak of one of the most
frightful . of contagious diseases, and the
worst, to all appearances, has yet to
come. We shall not be thought to ex
aggerate:the danger, when we add that
the deaths last week were three times as
numerous as those front scarlet fever—a
disease which, of itself, has for some
months been the dread of the metropolis.
The last report front the Hampstead
hospital showed that the mortality
among the unvaccinated patients was at
the rate of 41 per cent, while anion the
vaccinated patients it was at the rate
of only 5 peL . eent. No vaccinated child
has died in the hospital, and the protec
tion proves to be• in exact proportion to
the completeness with which Jim opera
tion has been performed. It may rea
sonably ho regretted that no punishment
can be inflicted on the persons who, in
the face of such facts, have prejudiced,
the ig l nora.nt against the'ir only security. .
CALI FORNLCS FAREWELL TO BRET
is not often Ulla a writer re
ou.lea:ringJris -limo. forever, - to
carry his prestige and -- fame ,to other
shores, so hearty and generous a farewell
as is given by The AIN, California, of the
second instant, too Mr. Francis Bret
Marto :
This morning Mr. Bra'Harte, the
most widely known of all the California
writers in general literature, leaves this
State, to take up his residence perma
nently in the east. It was not to be ex
pected that we could long retain an
author, whose works have already
achieved such large celebrity, and Nyitege
future promises so richly. ills natural
for such men to gravitate towards the
centre of literature, refinement and art ;
though remote parts of the republic can
develop their genius, sooner or later they
are drawn to more. congenial .and ap
preciative fluids. Nevertheless, our loss,.
is pot less sensibly felt, and in parting '
with Harte, wo part with the best known,
the best liked writer in light literature
that we have. Thousands of generous
and kindly hearts will regret his de
parture; and hosts of - readers who have
dwelt with delight over his bright pages
will send after him -a hearty God-speed.
During,,a long residence in this State Mr.
Harte has established, not only a brilliant
reputation as a literary man, but more
enduring and hearty friendship than
most men gain in his department of life.
These cannot belreadily re-placed ; but,
doubtless, the finer influences and more
favorable surroundings which he will
gain in the older States will do more for
the best development of his powers than
could be hoped from the pleasantest
associations attainable here. Andso we
bid our friend farewell.

Wno HAS LOST A LITTLE GIRL?—
Last summer a party of Gypsies, con
sisting of two men, two women and a
girl aged about eleven . ..years, passed
through the village of Belmore, Craw
ford county, going west. Shortly after
passing through the place, a man en
gaged at hauling logs came across a little
girl aged about four Years, who bad been
left in the road about a nine east of the
village, on tile rout the Gypsies had just
pasted over. • The man who was baffling
logaMcked tip the child and took it to
his home. The little thing could give
no account of itself, nor has ever yet
conveyed any idea who its parents are—
The general impression is that the , child
did not belong to the Gypsies, and that
they stole it frorp some family amid be
coming tired of it left it in the road as
above stated.

by Dana, Agassiz and other eminent
naturalists, in regard to the relation of
man to the under world and animal HA) ;
and against the theory favored by Dar

later ancestors were apd-form animals,

MrsicAt..— " Among the thousand
and one Pianos offered to the public, we
scarcely know any instrument so fully
uniting all thO desirable qualities sought
for as the linabe Piano. It is 'a matter
of some difficulty and:perplexity to inex
perienced persons to select a good instru
ment of any capacity. We too often
rely upon the judgment of friends in the
selection of a Piano, and are thus
frequently disappointed. The only sure
way, in our opinion, is to go to the best
maker. For this reason, we recommend
to our readers to purchase Pianos of
William Kuabe & Co's manufacture.
This will relieve them the vexatious
necessity of wasting time in a long
search. The reputation of the K"nahe
Pianos is an infallible guaranty of ex
cellence. In the houses of the most ac
complished and wealthy of our citizens,
and in our best seminaries and colleges,
these magnificent instruments may bo
found. Nor is this any, wonder, for, in
purity, depth and constancy of tone, they
aro unsurpassed. Their gradation of
scale in so exquisitely, and, at the same
time, comprehensively attained, that
they are capable of expressing every
emotion of the human heart and soul.
Theirtune is exquisitely pure and tinique,
and so even, swet and sympathetic that
it inspires all wlio listen to .it, while at
the same time the action is perfectly free,
and the keys resound to the touch with
such sensitiveness and-ptelligence, so to
speak, aoB tO make one almost think that
the mind of the mannfacturer lingers in
his work.
Sr. VALENTINE'S DAY.—Tuesday last
was St. Valentine's Day, and it may not
be amiss to give a brief history of the
'Origin of the day, although it; may be
• familiar to most of our readers. St.
Valerian) was a sedate RomiSh priest,
who, •in• the • third century; was cruelly
put to death for faith. After Ire was
martyred he was mado a saint, and he
had nothing, whatever, to do with the
festival that bears his name, excepting
• that it happened to be held on the day
consecrated ;to him—the fourteenth of
gebruary......Long-ago,-in—aneient-Rome
at a festival held during this Month, the
names of .young girls wore placed in a
box, and were drawn out blindly by the
young men. - The youth who thus ob
tained a maiden's name felt bound to
her all the homage and honor he coule,
and this Often led to marriage. Centu
ries afterward, this curious February
imam was still observed in other places,.
as well as in Romo. . Tire people be
lieved that .on Valentine's Day birds
choose their.mates, and so they playfully
.pretended to' think it quite a - settled
thing that the young matt and woman
whose rallies chanced to come out.to
getherin a Valentino lottery should bo
faithful sweethearts oiermore. Some
times it happened, when it became the
- custom 'for parties of friends to put in.
each other's names, that staid fathers of
families would .flnd• little girls of ten fall
