HARRiSpIIRG, March 17, 1870.
Agitator :—`Bic transit, gloria mundi.' l
All of us who were opposed to the new
county, as proposed by Peter Herdic
i
can now breathe freely, for the presen
session, at least, as the attempt is for the
presebt abandoned. After a careful
canvass of the House and *nate, it was
believed that if the local ineM bers stood
firm In their opposition, a sufficient
ntmber of the others could not be se
en ed for its passage; consequently the
subject is indefinitely postponed, and
will not rise again "to shake its gory
lolcs before us.", "Requiescat in pace."
.such an amount of legislation as is
being daily t introduced, should be one
of the seven wonders of the world ; and
I verily belieVe that unless a day is soon
agreed upon for the final adjournment,
there will business enough accumulate
to reach far into the summer. I have
believed,.and am daily strengthened in
that belief, that all ,local legislation
should be done through our courts, and
only laws and acts of a general Charac
ter be subjects of State: legislation. It
would be a great saving to the State.—
And then all persons could act upon the
local measures, and consult Ibegreatest
interest of the community. The calen
dar already numbers 1600, and bids fair
to exceed that of last winter, which
would seem needless.
The bill that I spoke of in a former
letter, enlarging the jurisdiction of Jus
tice§ of the Peace in Tioga county, has
become a law. * * *,
There is another measure before) the
Legislature, which now bids fair to go
through, and which will he of incalcu
lable value to the people of Tiega coon.ty, and the other northern and western
~counties of the State. It i~ a bill pro
posing to change the bonds or securities
that the State now holds against the
Pennsylvania and Alleghany Valley
railroads, from those roads to the ti iw '
ones proposed to be built, as now char,
tered; to wit: the sum of $6,000,100, f or
the Jersey Shore and l'ine Creeak road,
and the sum or $3,500,000 for three other
roads in the northwestern part of the
State. The advocates of this measure
propose to use these bonds, now held by
the Slate as a sinking fund, for the con
struction of these roads, and give the
State in return bonds and mortgages
upon the new roads, at the same rate of
interest, and payable about the same
time as the present bods : the Penn
sylvania IN.Torthern •Cenral and ?
Phila
delphia and Erie railroads guaranteeing
to the State the payment of the interest,
and the construction of the new roads
within three years i and then the State
takes, in lieu of the bonds it now holds,
a first mortgage upon the new lines and
equipments and all appurtenances there
unto bonging. It is claimed that the
securit,'will be just as good, if not bet
ter to the State, than now; while at the
same time it helps to open up that por
tion of the State which has never yet
received a dollar of State aid, while oth
er portions havebecome rich and • 'pros
perous through the 'generosity of the
Commonwealth.
• . Under these auspices, the Jersey
Shore and Pine Creek Railroad will be
built and completed, to connect with
the Buffalo and Washington road at
port Alleghany, in three years from
this time ;—and all that vast region,
hnd hitherto howling wilderness, with
its hidden wealth of coal and iron, will
be l?pened up to pour its untold wealth
into the lap of all nations and ages yet
to come. Villages and hamlets will
spring up, as if by magic, and the hill
sides and valleys will ring and echo
with the bum of industry ; and what
has heretofore been an untrodden wil
derness, shall blossom as the rose. ()th
en improvements will spring up in its
wake,—and ere long the shrill whistle
ethe engine will be Award on every
hill-top of Tioga county. It will then
follow, as a necessity, that a road shohld
be built along the Cowanesque vane);
and down Lung Run, to intersect this
road on Pine creek—thereby tapping
the two . great thoroughfares of N. York
and Pennsylvania. " God speed the
day," is the prayer of your humble
servant.
We have Justexperienced the most
terrible snow storm of the season—it
falling in such a body, as.to break down
fruikkrees and shrubbery, and almost
vi katling the travel while at Phila
delphia and south of us v there was no
snow at all, but a heavy rain, swelling
the creeks and rivers above their banks.
This is Saint Patrick's Day—lreland's
patron saint,—and every true believer
observes it a holiday, With his .sprh g
of Shamrock in his cap, lir hisshillalah

,may
they have of it.

THE PINE CREEK RAILROAD BILL
BAS PASSED BiatrOUSEI. WE HAVE
NO ROOM tort 01'4 ENT.
Superstitious members of the Califor
nia Legislature ascribe the earthquakes
and the tremendous fires now rhging tp
a div,ine judgement for therepeal of the
Sunday laws. •
At Elkhart, nd., last week, Mll3. Ma
goire, in a drunken frenzy, -threw a
lighted kerosene lamp at her husband.
The'larnp exploded, setting fire to the
house and the husband's clothing. The
house and its contents were destroyed,
and Maguire was burned to death. The
woman has not been arrested.
We publish this week a local, bill, re
ferred to in Mr. Niles's letter last week,
Which is of very . considerable impor
tance. It is intended to have those pet
ty matters Which now consume much
of the 'ime of our courts, decided in the
neighborhood of the transactions, by a
Justice and jury. We believe this law
is copied from laws which pave been in
force for some time in other counties.—
Its provisions have been tested-by prac
tice, and its meaning probably settled
by adjudication It is quite an innova
tion ; but we are confident that the
principle of the law is a good one, and
that it will grow in favor as it becomes
better 'known.
The 'United States. Supreme Court
has decided that a soldier who volun
teered under the President's call for
troops in the early part of 1861 is enti
tled to the $lOO bounty offered for three
years men, even though discharged for
disability before serving two years.
Heretofore this bounty has only been
paid to those who served at least two
years, and those discharged for- •ounds.
This division will give bounty to a large
number of soldiers who were honorably
discharged before the expiration of their
terms of enlistment, without any fault
on their part., ',lt should neyer have
been denied in any such case.
The'friends of ' n. Wm. I. Kelley
of Philadelphia, ave joined in a re
quest for him to accept a renomination
to Congress. Judge Kelley is now ser
ving his fifth term, and yet it seems
his cons ituents are unwilling to allow
him to r tire to private life. In his re
ply ,hei, makes his acceptance condi
tional, demanding that he be released
from the burdensome letters and ap
peals of office seekers. He says the de
mands upqn his time in such matters is
so great, flint 11,., 1.-.. 1.L4.4.1.- - -„,........,....,
left for social intercourse or study at.
home. The remedy for all this is a
civil service syStem.
Judge Kelley is an able representative,
and his knowledge of financial and in
dustrial affairs places him among those
few men in Congress, who cannot well
be spared in these times.
Fora long time mitice was published
in TirrE AGITATOR of the filing of the
Land Lien Docket in the office of the
Prothon otary, wherein are entered the
liens for balance of purchase money and
costs due the commonwealth, Against
unpatented lande. On the 6th of May
next the AttorneSr General may com
mence suits for all such claims remain
ing unpaid, and it behooves all persons
owning lands in the county, to look to
this matter at once, unless their have
other means of knowing that their ti
tles are secure.
We fear that great hardships may
fall upon innocent purchasers in many
cases, if this la* is carried info effect;
and we believe that wherever the State
has slept upon its rights so long that
such lands have passed into the hands
of innocent purchasers, it would t he
cruel wrong in many cases ( to enforce
the law.
Many warrants are, so old and the
landmarks so uncertain, that the Sur
veyor General found very great difficulty
in locating them, and fixing the lines
upon the proper subject-matter. The
changes in the mines of townships,
counties and streams are also'calculated
to mislead the owners. 'The State should
have its purchase-money ; but eve
means resorted to to compel the pay
ment of this money, should reserve to
the actual owners, the right to redeem
by payment of the purchase money and
costs, within a reasonable time after
actual notice ; and it ill becomes a great
State to enforce the payment of interest
after the commonwealth has slept so
long upon its rights as it has, we are
assured, in many cases.
Jersey Shore ) Pine Creek & Buffalo R. II
We clip from The Day . the following
synopsis and notice of the law pending
in our Legislature, referred to last week.
It has already passed the Senate, and
was on the third reading in the House
the last we heard of it. Ther i e can be no
doubt now of its passage ; and the gen
eral belief - is that the road will be built
in good part next ;/ear.
The rights of the State are secured by
the terms of this bill; but even if it
Were a donation, the' benefits would
more than make up the amount loaned.
Mr. Olmsted introduced an act to facilitate . the
constructio n uf a railroad between the Susque
hanna and the great lakes and Canada.
The bill provides that the Jersey Shore, Pine
Creek and Buffalo Railroad shall issue fiqt mort
gage bonds to the amount of $0,000,000, paying
five per cent. interest, which shall be deposited
in the sinking fund of tim State, and applied
only to payment of_ the public debt.• In consid
eration of this deposit, the company 'is to have
the use of anAutil amount of bonds belonging
to the-PennsYlvin . la Railroad Company., now in
the State Treasury: •
In order to secure the State from any lota, it iS
provided that the new bonds shall bo payable at
the same time and in the same amounts, and
shall bear exactly the same interest, as those be
longing to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Neither shall any exchange of bonds take place
until a contract shall bo made for the construc
tion and equipment of the new road within three
years, and this contract shall bo absolutely guar
anteed by either the Catawissa and Philadelphia
and Reading, the Catawissa and Lehigh Valley,
the Lehigh and Susquehanna, or the Philadel
phia and Erie,Northern Central and Pennsylva
nia Central roads, which guaranty shall extend
not only to tho payment of the principal, but to
the payment of $300,000 per annum interest mo
ney to the State, and the franchises and roads of
the party making the guaranty shall be liable
• - The road shall furnish the most direct
and°l4 " te zt route km Buffalo and Western Can
ada. to Philadeiphia.
THE „FUNDING BILL.
- In another column we published an ,
abstract of the Funding Bill which
passed the 13ennte last week., It is said
to be eee. elkhlble_to , t il e.. F t r,esittetir , lord
his cabinet, and , is vely likely to 6e
passed by.the House wit boat' any very
important changes. It has been - very
fully discussed in the.. Senate, and the
press of Bit, whole country.
TO that part Of this bill which. pro
poses 'to ftmdtkedebt,„o - ,4, 4k,, and '4
percentum, .runing.lo, 15, and 20 years
respectively, $400,000,000, of each kind,
and all due andklPaYable at forty years,
there carv.be no objection worthy of
consideration. The Press objects that
the option of.payment is too long. The
first $400,000,000, may .be paid any time
after ten years, which makes the priv
ilege of payment or nonpayment run
80 years, the second 25 years, and the
third 20. Years. We see no force in this
objection: The government should
not deprive itself of the privilege of
paying the debt as fast as it may be
able to do so, without crippling the
buthriess interests of the country. The
question of _early or later payment of
the debt,_is one of policy and expedi
ency : the privilege of paying it at any
rime when weritay, and thereby save
interest, is a right which we should pot
legislate away—Certainly not at this I
time. , A national debt may be a, na
tional blessing; but it is a blessing
which each generation has an inalien
able right to accept or reject for itself.
Under this bill there will be 5400,000,000
of the debt which cannot be paid till
the lapse of 20 years, however much we
may desire to pay it, unless we break
faith with our creditors. That we can
not afford to do. We have already had
enough of that kind of repudiation.
Not only this, but it is beyond the
prescience of the most profound econo
mist, to 7 say what rate of interest such
securities may be negotiated for, at the
end of 30 years. In the mean time, the
production of the precious metals max
so increase as to cheapen the standard
of value so much, that the rates we now
propose to pay may be greatly exor
bitant. Progress is so swift in the de
, velopment of the mineral and material
resources of all countries, that it is im
possible to foresee the situation of af
fairs, after the lapse of a generation.
The other provisions of this law, re
quiring the National Banks to subeti
tpte these bonds, for those now on de
insit, as a security for their, circulation,
at a lower rate of Interest than that they
-now receive, and allowing other Na
tional Banks to be organized with cap
ital of not less than $50,000 in any case,
on deposit of such bonds, purchased by
outstanding notes (we suppose "green
backs") of the United States, are more
obscure and uncertain in their opera
tion and probable effect; still they seem
acceptable to the banks and the gov
ernment, and we do not perceive how
they can be detrimental to the interests .
of the people. So fast as new banks shall
be organized and their notes issued, the
legal tenders are to be withdrawn from
circulation ; so that there shall be no
increase of currency further than the
demands for it shall prompt capitalists
to invest in this business. We firmly
believe that this matter will regulate
a free banking law, with absolute se
curity for the note holders. If the
demand for currency increase, it will be
supplied by capital, wherever and when
ever capital prevails. Of course the
government will lose the interest on
1 the notes withdrawn, s it will be re
quired to pay inters on the bonds
which shall be issued for such notes.
This Is a feature of th Obill which re
,quires reflection; yet these notes have
'all along heen in the nature of a forced
loan, payable at no particular time, and
without interest, and in as much as the
necessity which compelled us to resort
to such,)rneasures, has passed away, it
should seem thatthe government should
either redeem these notes in specie,
when such payments are resumed, or
pay interest to the holders. Certain it
is, that the withdrawal of llhese notes
froin circulation must speedily bring
resumption of coin payments.

THE ADDITIONAL E4i.ST Jr. WEST TRUNK
LINE, so imperatively, demanded for the accom
modation of the immOno an rapidly growing
transportation between the 'Atlantic seaboard
and Europe on the one hand, and the great pro
ducing regions of the Ohio and Mississippi val
leys on the other.
TifEAMPORTANCE OF THIS ROAD
AS A NEW OUTLET FROM THE WEST
TO THE SEA, MAGNIFIES' IT INTO
one of national consequence. and insures to it an
extensive through traffic) from the day of its com
pletion ; while, in the development of the ex
tensive :agricultural and mineral resources of
Virginia and West Virginia, It possesses, along
its whole line, the elements of a large and prof_
stable looal business.
Thus the great interests, both general and lo

peake and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio river, af
ford the surest guaranty of its success and value,
AND RENDER IT THE MOST IMPOR.
'PANT AND SUBSTANTIAL RAIL
ROAD ENTERPRISE NOW IN PRO
GRESS IN THIS COUNTRY.
Its superiority as an East and West route, and
the promise of an immense and profitable trade
awaiting its completion, have drawn to it the at
tention and cooperation of prominent capitalists
and railroad men of this city, of sound judg—
ment and known integrity, whose connection
'with it, together with that of eminent citizens
and busineee men of Virginia and West Virginia,
INSURES AN ENERGETIC, HONORA
BLE AND SUCCESSFUL MANAGE—
The road is completed and in operation from
Richmond to the -celebrated White Sulphur
Springs ct West Virginia, two hundred and tarot
ty-seven miles, and there remain - but_two hun
dred miles (now partially constructed) to b-ecom
pleted, to carry it to the proposed terminus on
the Ohio river, at or near the mouth of the Big
Sandy river, one hundred ail fifty miles above
Cincinnati, and three hundr ed and fifty miles be
low Pittsburg.
• Linea are now projected or in progress through
Ohio and Kentucky to
. this point, which will
connect the
CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO WITH THE
ENTIRE RAILROAD SYSTEMS OF THE
WEST AND SOUTHWEST, AND THE
PACIFIC RAILROAD.
•Ita valuable franchises and superior advanta—
ges will place the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company among tho richest and most powerful
and trustworthy corporations of the country ;
AND THERE EXISTS A PRESENT
VALUE, IN COMPLETFD ROAD AND
WORE DONE, EQUAL TO THE EN
TIRE:AMOUNT OF THE SIORTGAGE.
The details of the loan ha'ire been arranged
with special reference to the wants of all classes
of investors, and combine the various features of
opnvenience, safety, and protection against loss
or fraud.

They have THIRTY YEARS to On from
January 16, 1870. with interest at six per cent.
per annum from November 1, 1889.
Principal and interest payable in gold
in the city of New, York.
The interest is payable in MAY and NOVEM
BER, that it may take the place of that of the
earlier issues of Five—Twenties, and suit the con
venience of our friends who already hold Central
and Western Pacifte bonds, with interest paya—
ble in January and July, and who may desire,
in making additional investments, to have their
interest receivable at defferent seasons of the
year.
The loan is scoured by a mortgage upon the
entire line of road from Richmond to the Ohio
river, with the equipment and all other property
and appurtenances aonneeted thlewith.
A WINKING FUND OF $lO ,bOO PER AN
NUM IS , PROVIDED FOR TEE REDEMP—
TION OF Tug BONDS, TO TAKE EFFECT
ONE YEAR AFTER TEE COMPLETION OF
TOE ROAD.
The mortgage is for $15,000,0000, of which
$2,000,000 will bo reserved and held in trust for
the redemption of outstanding bonds of the Vir
ginia Central Railroad Company, now merged in
the Chesapeake and Ohio.
Of the remaining $13,000,000, a sufficient
amount will be sold to complete the road to the
Ohio river, perfect and improve the portion now
in operation, and thorougly equip the whole for
a largo and active traffic.
The present price is 90 and accrued interest.
A loan so amply secured, so carefully guarded,
and so certain hereafter to command a promi—
nent place among the favorite securities in the
markets, both of this country and Europe, will
be at once appreciated and quickly absorbed.
