PlttsburE Raiiroad Bonds.

An address is being distributed to the
holders of bonds to the city of Pittsburg,
issued to railroad companies in payment
Of subScriptions to the stock of the same
companies, emanating from the finance
committee of the Pittsburg city councils
and pruposinga compromise. From the
address we learn that the CITY of Pittsburg
issued bonds to the several railroad compa-
mics to the amount of 81, 100000. There
is now due and unpaid coupons on said
bonds $3,544, 290. The valuation Of the
whole country for purposes of taxation is
q, 504, 400. Ofthe city, SlO,651, 276, or
3s72-100 per cent of the whole amount,
and therefore the proportion ofthe county
debt which the city may be compelled to
bear. would amount to $1,276, $40, 90,
which, added to the amount Of city debt
as above, would give an entire liability
of 81, $50, 5000, which, divided among
11,S0f taxables in the nine wards, is
equal to over $500 for every taxable person
in the city. -i7 ~.
The annual expenses of tho city with
this debt are $685., 02s 80. To meet this,
$3.50, 900 would be derived from water
tax, wharves, &C., leaving $439, 623 so
TO be raised by direct taxation, requiring
a levy of4i per cent, or As mills per
aunum on the assessed value Of taxable
properly in the city, leaving no surplus
for lost taxes, expenses of collection or
sinking fund. The people Of Pittsburg
are satisfied that they cannot bear the
burden, aud that any attempt to do so
would DO utterly ruinous to them indivi-
dually, and thatthe business and property
of tho city would rapidly deteriorate,
rendering them every year less able to
meet the liability,

The great event of the day here Is the
proclamation of the President ordering the
execution Of the war measures of the last
Congress, and promising freedom to the
slaves in all States that persist in the re-
bellion against the Government This act,
SO long expected, SO long delayed, bids fair
to simplify at once the issues of the war,
immediately to array against each other
the uneonditionally loyal and the rebellious
of all shades and grades. If the cause of
the Union aud free institutions is strongest,
this test will show ii. and the only ques-
ton of its triumph will then be the power
in the Government to execute its policy
with courage and Yfgor.

Conscripts in Kentuckv.

If Bragg is not troubled for time he
has determined TO enforce the rebel con-
scription law in Kentucky. Wherever
he or his Generals have spoken, they have
seriously announced this as their pur-
pose. Very we'll They are capable of
doing anything but repenting of their
sins. They have as much right 10 press
Canadians into service as Kentuckans,
and more, for Canada sympathizes with
them, while our glorious old State never
has attached and never will attach itself
TO a concern so weak, rotten, and dis
graceful as the Conlederacy. la truth,
il may be expected that the body of Sc
lect representatives in Richmond, who
seem to be affected by a species of mad
ness akin to lycanthropy, will shortly
eXtend the conscrilt law over Maine and
Oregon. But isn't it funny? Think
the rebels Of the State have been praying
for the coming Of the Confederate army
for many months; they talked loudly Of
Federal oppression, which consisted in
compelling them TO stop uttering and
plotting treason; and they boosted loud
ly OF the glOries and the immense bene-
fits TO be derived from Confederate SUI
premacy. They aided Bragg 10 come
selected his roads and acted as guides
and spies for him They all played into
his hands, expecting perfect enjoy
ment of the Confederate Government
and ample time 10 curse the old Union.
They pointed out loyal men and aided TO
conllscate their property, and, behold,
for all this they are 10 be drafted into a
half-staryed army Al this would be
really fine il Bragg could be induced TO
impress none but The dislOyal, for they
are public nuisances, the accessories 20

dcntly desire But loyal Kentucky
knows what that protection means; il

A,Most Horrible Murder
Threats against GOV. Curiin's Fsn-.

AMEehAe aEntuht gov Nufttn'a ENml-
ily.
An interesting daughter Of Mr. i. S.
German, a highly respectable citizen,
was found in a woody swamp, near Har-
risburg on Saturday, dead, with a pistol
shot wound in her throat Measures
have been taken TO capture the murderer,
who is known, but it is supposed that he
mistook the little child for daughter of
Governor Curtin, who has received several
anonymous notes warning him Of danger
TO his Family The following details of
the affair are taken from the Harrisburg
telegraph, Of Monday;
Our city was alarmed late on Friday
evening by the announcement that a girl
named Mary Elizabeth, daughter Of Mr..
Emanuel German, was missing and had
been seen in company with man wear
ing soldiers cap, and dressed like a
discharged soldier. The child was seen
with 'he man about five o'clock on Fri
day evening. Every effort was made by
the parents and persons in this city on
Saturday, 20 learn the whereabouts of
little Mary, who was well know as a
sprightly and intelligent child for her
age, but il seemed that all human efforts
were pOwerless to relieve the anxiety
and grief of the parents and friends
Yesterday forenoon, however, two color
elk boys discovered, right at the edge, in a
regular swamp, the remains OF little Mary.
These colOred boys went at once to give
the alarm, and word was Immediately
sent TO Mr.. German, informing him of the
discovery, aid requesting that he should
proceed to the spot for Che purpose of
identifying the remains.
A corOner's jury was at once empan-
neled by Alderman Kline. DR.. Roberts
was present, who upon examination, dis
covered that the child had been shot d-
rectly through the throat, the ball enter
ing on the right side of the neck, pass
ing directly through the jugular vein and
carrying away the left portion OF the
neck. The child was lying on is face
with a bruise on its forehead, which
might have been received in the fall, and
the right arm showed the imprints Of a
hand, as if it had been held firmly
with one hand whilst with the other the
fatal shot was given. The clothing of
the child was somewhat torn and disar-
ranged, but after a close examination Of
the body, no signs Of any attempt at rape
could be discovered Nomotive whatever
for the commitment of this most bru-
tai and fiendish murder can be assigned.
The following is description of the
man seen with the girl late in the after
noon: About % years Of age. 3 feet
inches high, slim built, thin face dark
hair, darG complexion, rather sallow,
smooth lace, wore soldier cap very
much faded, blue blouse and old dirty
grey pants torn about the bottom Of the
legs.
