Romance InReai Lie.

The Philadelphia correspondent Of
the Baltimore San Il US writes:
Z a wealthy gentleman named Hart
man recently arrived in this city from
Prussia, in company with his son, some
twenty years of age, with. the, view. of
purchasing a farm in this State. The
son, a Wild and frolicksomc youthysoon
became acquainted with Al young lady
a milliner-in Camden, fell in loye. with
her, and would have been married but
for the opposition of the father. The
latter, however, subsequentlystartcd for
Pittsburgh; but OIL his ireturn,;a few
days ago, found that his son had de-
camped, taking all his fathers money,
about $4,000, with him. The young
man left behind him a letter stating
that the young lady knew where he had
gone, and that if his father desired his
return he had only to signify TO the la
ly his consent to the marriages and he
would return and give up all the mon
ey except So 900, which he would re-
tain to set himself up in business. The
girl declares that she is igRoraht;Qf his
whereabout. The old gentleman, who
is in deep distress, has placed the mat
ter in the hands of the police. The
last that wa seen of the youngster was
at the Baltimore depot en- roGte for your

Fire!

On last Monday night about 12
o'clock, our citizens were aroused from
their slumbers by the alarm of fire,
which proceeded from the stable of Mr..
JOHN P. AcroN. The stable had in it
some ten or twelve head of horses, a
large lot of harness, saddles and bri-
dies, and a very tine Durham Bull, for
exhibition at our County Fair, all, oil
which narrowly escaped being consumed
by the ~devouring elements. The stable
of Dir. Acton, and one adjoining, be-
longing to Mrs, GRAY, were burned t o
the ground, before, our: Engine could be
got to do any service. The loss of Mr..
Acton is about $500, and that of Mrs.
Gray between 5000 and 5000. The fire

Don't Hoard The Coin.

There is an abundance of gold and
silver coin in the country for all the or
binary transactions Of daily life, if it is
only kept in circulation. A small spe-
Gle currency is the life:blood of bust.
ness, and if it be wanting to any con
siderable extent, business wi. languish.
stagnate or decay in proportion as its
life blood is wanting. .a rr-l.
The propensity to hoard gold and
silver money is one of the lowest and
meanest vices of the human mind. II
is the very essence of selfshncss. This
propensity is naturally heightened in
times of panic like the present, and of
N seizcs upon good men who in ordi
nary seasons would be entirely free
from it. Let all who have a spark OF
kindly and liberal, feeling "resist the
temptation and it will fee from them"
There is still sufficient gold and sill
yer IN the country to keep the wheels
of business in motion, and thereby en-
able honest industry by daily labor to
earn its daily bread. Whatever of want
and suffering may prevail this winter
among those who would labor but can
hnt no employment, will be largely
owing to the boarding of coin. Those
who this want to fall upon the
poor, will receive their pay in due sea
if it be true that with the mea-
sure ye mete withal, the same shall be
measured to you again"

Payment of1the Statc Debt o
(.nlff0rni:I, "ai

Tho Washington Union, in noticing
the recent determination of the State of
California to pay its debts, says; 2
The State had incurred pecuniary OBJ
legations by the action of duty and law
fully-appointed Commissioners. These
Commissioners exceeded their powers,
but the parties with whom they contract
ed actcd<in perfect confidence and in
good faith. California, to some extent,
enjoyed the benefit of the contract, and
her officials for many years acknowl-
edged and acquiesccd in it. A case
having arisen, however, which brought
the question before the highest judicial
tribunal of the State, it was decided that
the State was not legally bound to pay
the debt thus irregularly contracted by
their own proper legal official agents.
But, notwithsta nding the Courts DE-
cided that the State was not legally
bound to pay these debts, yet the rover
eign pesph ave decided otherwise. To
their high and lasting honor, they have
decided not to avail themselves. Of the
technical aequittance which they might
have claimed under the decision of their
Court, but have determined that they
will tax themselves to pay the debt which
their unfaithfnl agents have contracted
in their name, although they have r%eceiv-
ed little or no benefit from it. This is
honest. This isjust. This is %magnani-
nous. And it stamps a moral value
upon her people nor enduring and in
destructible than that which attaches to
the glittering ore of her gold fields.

The Condiiion of Mexico.

The Washington States, of the 18th
inst. says:
a correspondent in the city of Next
CO furnishes US, in a letter received by
the last arrival, some particulars in re-
lation to the condition of affairs in that
Republic. From official sources, it ap-
pears that the. finances Of the govern
mentare still in a situation almost desper-
ate. The late Minister ofthe Treasury,
Mr.. Lerdo, stated in a report that neces-
sary and ordinary expenses of the gov
ernmcnt were twenty millions a year.
The total revenue of the year ending
the 31st of July last was $13,340, 534.
But ofthis sum not more than three
Eourths reached the Golfers of the trca
sury. The necessities of the govern
ment always compel it to anticipate the
revenue by selling orders on the customs
to brokers at a loss of twenty-five per
cent. 1.-THE government needs the sum
of $4,000. it obtains the money from Il
broker by giving an order for 500, 900
u shave equal to a Wall-street trans
actions in former times.
Though the government has confs-
Gated and sold during the past year
church property to the amounto twenty
four million, only S675,300 of this sum
has been available for the purposes of
the Treasury.
The question how any government can
be sustained under these endorsements.
AS to the new constitutional govern
ment which was to be inaugurated on
the 18th of September, it was a matter
of doubt whether it would be put in
practical operation. The representa-
tives chosen to the Congress were not
disposed to attend its meeting. The ut
most apathy and Indifference prevailes
us to this matter.
Should this Congress form a quorum
and proceed to business, tits still doubted
whether the system willrrore TO be prac
licable in the present condition of Next
co. Nothing but a strong central govern
mcnt is likely to stand, and it is proba-
BILE that Comonfort will take mea ures to
render permanent his provisional dicta-
torship. But financial embarrasmcnts
may render it impossible for him t.,
maintain any government, in opposition
to the frequent and extensive insurrcc-
tionS ana consplracles against MS pow
er. For the rest, the county is tx
without protection, to bands of
robbers, who infcst all the highways,
and render travel and commerce unsafe. !
