Correspondence of the rradisonlan.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26, lS4l
The Governor Of the State is at present in this
city The object of his visit is to procure temporary
loan of 100000, to meet the interest the State
loans due on the LIST of February. II seeems to be
extremely doubtful whether no will succeed as but
600 have as yet been subscribed The loan, it
will be recolected is to bear interest at per cent
But a few years ago such loan would have COM
manded high premium, and been sought with avdity
by capitalists noic, it goes begging, and finds no
takers. So much for the wisdom of those who have,
for years past warred upon the interests and business
of the country They lay waste the harvest fields
denounce those who plough and SOW and expect to
be furnished with any amount of corn they may
want whenever they think proper to make demand
Should the Governor unfortunately not be able pay
the interest the State loans it WILL fear serious
ly affect the credit of the State. This however must
be done by some means other.
The passage Of Mr.. Cay's distribution bill becomes
every day more and more important to this State As
for that unjust bill before the Senate, which has
for its object barter away the public domain for less
than mess of pottage, the people of Pennsylvania
are most decidedly opposed to it. The passage of that
bill, should it unfortunately find friends enough in
Congress to pass it, will deserve be recorded upon
the same page Of history which records the public
sale Of the Imperial Scepre Of Rome, by the Prnto-
rian guards The people of the old States, if they
would not be defrauded out of their rights and rob
bed of their property should hold primary meetings.
and speak language which their representatives
could not misunderstood, and in voice that should
reverbeIate through the domes of both halls Of Con-
gress observe the President and Senate are taking

filling the offices which likely to become vacant in
the early part of his administration How kind and
considerate! How consistent with their course in
1929, when they refused even to act upon nominations
made by Mr.. Adams to offices then vacant Can
men who thus act lay claim to honesty Can they
look an honest man in the face, and not blush
for very shame 2 If they can, they must be hackney
ed in political trickery. X

PHILADELPHIA. Ian % 1871

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Is, lS4l.
gives me great pleasure to saw that the
state loan OF $S00.000, authorized for The n,,r.
pose OF meeting the interest due ON former loans
oh me Isl February, Is nearly all taken. and
P'opaoiy VIII DC all subscribed for TO-DAY or To-
morrow so that the honor and creditlof the %
stone State will be preserved Much AZ ,ha
Banks have been abused by the marty no,v i
power in this State, and little as thew are able
at this time TO aid the State, | believe they
would under no circumstances have permitted
the State to have been dishonored for the want
OF funds to meet the interest coming DUE in fact
the greater part Of the loan HIS been taken by
the Banks. IL seems to be the general impress
sion here, among the most intelligent men, that
an Extra Session Of Congress will be indes-
pensable to put things right. But if an Extra
Session is called, it is to be hoped that il twill be
a business Session and not talking Session
The leading men Of the country must ''off coats
and go TO work" first TO examine into the situa
ton OF every department Of the Government and
ascertain how much the country is in debt, and
what amount OF money has been squandered and
stolen; and secondly TO provide the ways and
means for paying of the puzzle debt and replen-
ishing the Treasury; and, in the third place, 10
restore TO the country a sound and uniform cur
rency.
Money is rather tight here at present com
manding readily, upon the best paper at short
dates, from one and quarter to one and half
per cent per month. Stocks have downward
tendency and disposition is manifested to SELL
Public confidence in this kind Of investment has
been so severely shaken by the various defalca-
tons Of Bank officers, and the gross misman-
agement of some Of the Banks, that many pru-
dent men incline to invest in other securities,
such as mortgages, ground rents, &c.
The Jury in the celebrated Eldridge case,
who were nearly three months empanneed,
and who were out 13 days after the case was
submitted to them, without agreeing, have been
discharged and another jury already empanelled
for another trial. The last jury stood II TO Il
the one who stood "solitary and alone" was a
thorough-going Loco foco-whose bitter hostii-
ty TO the Banks is believed by some to have had
no little influence upon his mind as juror-he
could not believe that Eldridge had been denti-
fed, though thirteen witnesses swore positively
to his identity

vacate his seat in the Senate on or about the
middle of February, in order give the present
an opportunity to elect successor Who the
successor will be has not been publicly indicated I;
but there are many able men of the old Bay
State from whom a good selection may be made.
The name Of the Hon. Abbott Lawrence, OF
Boston, having been mentioned in connection
with the subject, that gentleman has declined
the proposed elevation on account OF Ill health
although it is not understood that he has wholly
Withdrawn from public life.
