BUSINESS IN IowA.-The Davenport
Iowa) Gazette says Financial matters
are growing worse and worse, without any
prospect of any change for the better at
present, or for weeks and perhaps for
months to come. Matters look squally,
indeed. The notes of the Humboldt Bank
were thrown out by baakers here yesterday.
This bank has large circulation here, and
many will be bitten by it. The Banks of
Napcrville and Elgin as well are not coun-
tenanced by bankers. 1t seems as though
tue banks which have the heaviest circula-
ton here are the fated ones. Perhaps fu-
ture events will knock the foundation from
under them all-leaving none but broken
reed to depend upon. There is not much
chance to offer advice either way. The
future is dark-no one knows which way
to point, or what directions to give with
regard to the matter. Too much caution
cannot be exercised on the part of those
who receive money. Those who are unable
to hold on will see the necessity of this.
Those who are able-those who hold it
will be safe or insecure as the securities
upon which the banks are based vary or
tluctuate.

Mr. Curtis Pacific Railroad bill 1t pro-
vides that the road shall start from the
western border of Missouri and western
border of Iowa, with two convergng lines

HpiroR,s RHsPoNDBNcE.
For tie Columbia Democrat:

DEAR Col. TATE:
Permit me, through your columns,
to express the qualification which | feel in
seeing that the President has at length
been induced to recommend that day of
Humiliation and Prayer, be observed by
the nation in order that the calamities
which threaten us, may be averted. We
have been anxiously looking for something
of this kind to be done for several weeks,
believing it to be the only means of safety
and relief to the country.
As nation, we are guilty Of sins of the
grossest character. Extravaganza, pride
and intemperance run riot in the land.
In many parts the Sabbath is disregarded.
Gods counsel set at nought. The oppressed
call loudly to Heaven indeed we are
astonished at the forbearance Of the AL
mighty with us all stepped in sin amid the
full blaze of Gospel light. National sins
call for national Punishment-if not
arrested by national repentance. God
seems now to be holding a controversy
with US and doubtless is abort to chastise
US, and in this time Of our extremity, when
the wisest and purest heads have failed to
avert or reconcile our difficulties, we should
follow the example of the Nenivites, and
have recourse to humiliation and prayer,
trusting that God may turn from the
fierceness of his anger and save us from
the impending doom that seems to hang
over us. From many examples which we
have in Holy writ, We find that repentance
and prayer has done what kings and
counsellors could not DO. How important
then that every American citizen observe
the FOURTH DAY OF JANUARY, 1861, in
the manner thas has been recommended by
the President Ct the United States. 1t is
10 be hoped, that this "Reconsms1aation"
will be heralded by Telegraph and Press,
as if it were Proclamation into every
corner of this vast country and that the
Uospel ministers impressed with the true
idea may force it upon the minds of their
hearers.
| If the nation is united and earnest in
this matter, God may yet look upon us
with favor and dispel the clouds that hang
over our political sky and settle the differ
cnces of opposing sections by bringing them
to see eye to eye and unite in the bonds
of friendship and our country shall yet be
the home of brave freeman and an asylum
for the oppressed and shall still stand a
check upon wrong, and accomplish the
great mission to which the God of nations
has assigned her.

Death of Henry M. Fuller.

The HoN. HENRY M. FULLER, former
ly Representative of this District in
Congress, died on Wednesday morning
last, at his residence in Philadelphia. He
was in the 4lst year of his age. Few
public men had more devoted friends than
Mr.. Fuller and his unexpected death will
be generally lamcnted.
The Philadelphia Evening Journal,
closes feeling obituary on Mr.. Fuller
death, in words subjoined:
From the time Mr.. Fuller entered into
political life, he withdrew himself very
much from the pursuit of his profession as
lawyer, and for the last few years has
been actively engaged in the manufacture
of iron at the Montour Iron Works, in
Montour County. As a man of business,
he was distinguished for the same sagaci-
ty, industry, and integrity which had
characterized his public career. We have
time to-day to add no more in reference
to this estimable citizen, except that his
disease, at first supposed to be only hard
cold, contracted some two weeks since,
ran into typhoid fever that defed the
best medical skill, and under which he
rank, until he closed his eyes in death this
morning, in the full faith of a Crucifed
Redeemer at peace with God-and in
charity with all men.
We understand that his funeral will
take place on Friday next, at o'clock,
P. NJ, from his late residence, at Chest
nut and Sixteenth streets, and that his
body will be removed to- Wilkesbarrie for
burial, by the afternoon train Of the Read
ing Railroad.

Or County Orders. -JNo. A. FUNs-
TON, Esq, the very efficient Treasurer of
Columbia County, we understand, pays
all County Orders in cash, and is anxious
that every outstanding order be imme,
diately presented for redemption. Mr.
Funston is desirous of having the obliga-
tions of the County entirely cancelled
prior to the Annual Settlement of the
Auditors and Commissioners, which take
place on the first week in January. We
congratulate the Tax payers Of Columbia
county, upon the important fact, that our
County is out.et.debt, with money to spare,
and that our financial condition is better
now than at any previous time during the
last twenty years, an epoch inaugurated
by the late Treasurer, JAMES S. Nc.
NINcH, Esq, and consummated by Mr..
Treasurer Funston.

The LEGISLATURE of Vermont has
refused to repeal the Personal Liberty act
of that State. The vote to repeal was So,
i25 Republicans, 33 Democrats; y the vote
against repeating were l25, (all Republi-
cans.
If any thing were wanting to prove
that the Republican party of the North,
il, az mass in favor of dissolution of
the union, their course in relation to the
repeal of the personal libery bills would
amply clear the point.
From the announcement by Mr. LINCOLN,
that "this union could not endure half free
and half slave" till now his party friends
have been doing their best to prove the
truth Of the propheey, by endorsing the
Helper Book, sending JOHN Brown into
Virginia, passing personal liberty bills,
stealing slaves, and other sayings and do
ings of the same general character. And
in all this time they have neither done mol
said anything to calm the Justly excited
state of the public mind.

DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH IN NEW HA-

DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH IN NEW HA-.
vEN.-The New Haven city election, on
Friday, resulted in an emphatic Demo
cratic victory. The Democr attic majority,
in a poll of 5000 votes, is about 500.
The town embraces Fair Haven and West
vile, which always give Republican ma
Jorties. The victory is therefore more
significant than if the election had been
confined to the city proper. But even the
city was carried by the Republicans at the
last election-a majority of officers then
elected being Republicans.

ESCAPE OF PRISONERS FROM CENTRE
Co. JAlL.-The Bellefonte Press, of Dec.
18th, says GA grand stampede occur
red among the prisoners confined in our
Jail, on last Tuesday morning, under the
leadership of Lewis Sherman, the notori-
GUS burglar and jail-breaker. An old
pick and an axe had been secured, no
doubt, from accomplces the outside, with
which they re opened the wall precisely
where Kauterman made the bre ach in
April last. In the evening previous, the
prisoners had been safely secured in their
respective cells, and every prccaution ia.
ken to guard against their escape,as Sher-
iff Alexander has received little assurance,
from public opinion, that he would be
able to keep them. Sherman and one or
two others were confined in back cell,
while two or three others were taken be-
low, and confined in a cell on the first
floor. Sherman divested himself of his
HuuuSiSo py 1HC aiu vi d sbSSi-pch' i1O
then opened the first lock with wooden
key, but the paddock being too low to be
reached from the inside, he heated the
poker (having fire in his ecll and burnt
the staple out of the door. The door
opening into the front cell he opened with
wooden keys, after which they immediate,
/ ly went to work on the outer wall, not,
however, until they had spread quilt
upon the floor to prevent the falling plas-
ter and stones from making noise. With
the aid of their pick and axe, the work of
opening wall that is now ready to tum-
BILE down under its own weight, was,
doubtless, soon effected. The cord was
taken from the bed and attached to the
iron-bars of the window above, and by
this they deccnded to the ground, four
prisoners escaping, Sherman, Rudy,
"Corn Doctor" and Kuhn. The other
prisoners, refusing to go with them, were
threatened with personal violence if they
gave the least al arm.

SELINsGRovE STATIoN-The Northern
Central Rail Road have put up large and
comfortable station house, opposite Selins-
grove. The building, which is just COM
pleted, contains IA rooms and is calculated
to accommodate strangers and others over
night. This station is an important one
and this improvement was much needed at
that point where crossing at night is some.
times difficult and inconvenient.

THE FINANCES OF PENNSYLVANIA
We congratulate our readers, among all
the causes of trouble, upon the bright
exhibit made by the Auditor General of
Pennsylvania. Nearly 100000 has been
paid into the sinking fund during the year
ending November 3Oth, and the State debt
has been reduced by that amount. This
has been accomplished while an equal sum
of 500, 900 remains in the Treasury ready
for the February interest
The interest payable by the State is
gradually sinking under the operation Of
our admirable financial system. This year
it is reduced to sl,03l ,2O5. The direct
tax is reduced to 81 ,444,674, or nearly
half million below the interest of the
debt. This difference is met by indirect
taxes and the payments Of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad for the Public Works. Our
debt is heavy, but it is thus becoming
lighter every day.

THE "Canadan extradition case" was
decided in Truro, G. W., on Saturday.
The decision was given by the Court of
Queens Bench. 1t is in favor of giving up
the slave prisoner, Jones, to the United
States authorities. One of the judges
dissenting from the opinion of the court, an
appeal has been taken. The prisoner is
strongly guarded No attempt has been
made to rescue him, but great excitement
prevails.

1t is evident by these figures that there
has been balance of trade in our favor
for every one of the past five years, and
that in that time it has reached the sum Of
SIP, 1894 1897 in our favor. Considering
the continued shipments of cotton and the
large expectation of grain this year, is no
wonder that specie is beginning to come
back. The truth is, that England is fall
ing in debt to u.s. A little common sense
in political affairs and little prudence in
importing, will put the country in an ad-
mirable position. If politics can be kept
in some sensible position the country must
right itself in short time
Philadelphia Even,ng BuL'ttin.
A few weeks ago we gave our readers
an article from the Bulletin as one sample
of the change of tone coming over the
Republican press; and for the purpose of
putting on record more fully the admis-
sions ofthose false politicians and prophets,
who, before an election pratc only of dis
aster; and after the end is served admit
the falsehood of their electioneering articles,
and for once publish the truth.
The above article confirms our former
position During the whole of Mr.. Blu
oHANAN's administration the balance of
trade has been in our favor; conceded
now by Republican paper, but heretofore
constantly denied by the whole party
What faith can be placed in the assertions
Of their papers or orators, when in few
months they themselves admit their utter
falsity!
We hope the people of Columbia county
will bear these things in mind. In order
to prove the fact, that the balance of trade
is in our favor, the Bulletin publishes and
we copy, for the reasons assigned above,
an article, "Spccie Coming Back" and to
which also we direct the attention of our
readers. These are significant concessions,
and we mean that they shall not be lost
sight of. Remember them.

THE NULLIFICATIoN DIFFICULTY OF
ls33-How IT WAS SETTLED.-The po-
liticians who are opposed to a compromise
of our present sectional difficulty are con-
stantly referring to the crisis of South
Carolina notification of 1899, which the y
tell us, was put down By force by the
Government of General jackson. With
out, in the present connection, referring
to the widely different state of our polili-
cal affairs now from what they were then,
it is sufficient to say that that difficulty
was settled, not by coercaon, but by a
compromise. South Carolina demanded
a redress of grievances by tho repeal or
modification of the tariff of 1928, which
bore heavily upon her industry. 1t was
on this issue that she made preparations
for secession from the Union. In the
height of the difficulty, Mr.. Clay introdu,
ced his Tariff Compromise Bill, which
obviated the objections of South Carolina
to the Black Tariff of 1928. The bill
passed, and the crisis was averted. The
politicians of that day, such as Genera
Jackson and Mr.. Clay, were for compro-
mise between the State and the Genera
Government, and the compromise wai
made. Our troubles now will have to b.
settled in the same way, or not settled a
all.
