PENNSYLVANIA BONDS IN ENGLAND.
Pennsylvania, writing from London to the
Philadelphia North American, presents the follow
ing facts IN regard to the Issue and redemption by
the State of Pennsylvania of some six per cent
bonds about the years ls43 and ls4G. He says:
We were bound to pay our interest in cash. We
could not do it, and issued bonds bearing six per
cent. interest, and compelled the holders of our
coupons to take these six per cent. bonds as pay
ment for their interest. Then when these became
due, IN three years or thereabOuts we refused to
pay them m CASH. and compelled our creditors to
| take hve per cent. bond in place of the six and
instead OF even paying six per interest on these
| short bonds, as we promised, actually paid only
four and threequarters.
Now, does any man believe that the honest Penn
sylvanians would sanction this if they knew the
| lacts There is not one code of morals for indi-
| Vlduas, and another for a sovereign State. What
would be dishonorable in the former, would be dis
honorable in the latter. The London Times recent
~ sald, referring to some such transactions ''the
| Americans have sunk down to a low line in intel
| lect morals and feeling"
These acts of reputation and bad faith have
most injurious effect on the whole country. 1t is
argued, and not without force, that the general
state OF morals must be very low in any State.
when the people sanction and approve such dishon-
est practices by their rulers; or at least do moth
ing to correct the evils done by them; and if citi-
zcns OF such State should, at any time, want funds
either as individuals or in a corporate capacity,
| their credit is impaired, and they cannot procure
| them unless at great sacrifice.
If we are only honest, what security can anv
| government in Europe give, burdened as they all
are with enormous debts, compared with our Sc
| curties2
And yet here are the last London quotations:

Pennsylvania 5 per cents. $500. 81

Now, why should these prices be so much below
kussla, Denmark, and even South America Not
because OF any deficiency in resources, but simply
because there IS want Of faith in our integrity
which our own conduct has produced. And is it
not mortifying that great and free Protestant
Anglo-SaXon nation should stand lower than Rus
STA and South America in honor and integrity?
The writer strenuously urges upon Pennsylvania
the policy of making amends at once for the course
which has so greatly damaged the reputation of
the State.
ENGLAND AND INDIA.-A correspondent of the
Times gives in few graphic words, the results of
the Indian campaign We quote them: 'Twenty
months ago we were assaied, unprepared, by an
army of hundred thousand men, thoroughly ac-
cllmatized, possessed of ample magazines, of an
almost Incredible amount of artillery, Of every
great city except two. We have fought incesSant-
ly for twenty months, through seasons of unpre-
cedented severity. We have lost all native
army and 40, 900 Europeans, and in the twentieth
month of the struggle we have regained every
province, have re-established every station, have
beaten every army, are in full pursuit of every
fragment, have re-created teegraphc cOmmunica
ton, have new steamers every river, have re
cruited new army of 100000 natives, and have
round the standa DIS European force four times as
strong the army which originally faced the re-
volt, twice as strong as the army which has perish
ed on the field and in the hospital"
EXPLOSION A POWDER MnI.-TireYre housand

(Ohio) Beacon says the drying house of the Aus
tin Powder Mills, near that place, exploded last
week.
No remnant of the structure remains. Over an
area Of several hundred yards radius were strcwn
splinters of the almost pulverzed lumber and hun
dreds of broken empty kegs from the warehouse.

as one pulls a rose from the bush Another large
tree said to have disappeared. No trace of trunk,
boughs, stump or roots are discOverable. The build
ings in the neighborhood (thei were none near)
were all njured-windOws broken, doors unhinged
roofs lifted. school house upon the hill, some
forty rods oft, was, are told, pretty much demO-
ishcd. The machine or wheel-mill of the company
was unroofed.
The Washington Star saws We have every
reason to believe that Count Sariges has received
notice of his recall from his present post near this
Government, which probably involves his promo
tion to similar position at one of the leading Eu-
ropean courts.
