The Five-Twenty Loan.


Some nine months ago a National loan
was established by Congress, known as the
five-twenty loan, and five hundred millions
of dollars were authorized to be sold by the
Government. On the morning, of the 2lst
of January at the opening of business hours,
it was ascertained that but six millions of
the loan remained unsold.
During the day Jay Cooke, the Agent of
the United States and the Government De-
pository, and his sub-agents throughout the
country, sold Sixteen Millions of dollars of
the loan This makes the amount sold ten
Millions of dollars more than has been au-
thorized by Congress. We have no doubt
Congress will pass bill to meet and legal
ize this extra sale.
This loan continues one of the most re-
markable features in the financial history of
any country, and its success has no parallel
Five hundred and sixteen millions of dol
lars of popular loan sold within nine
months, and all taken by the loyal people
in our own country, in sums from fifty dol
lars to thousand and upwards This is a
most powerful and unanswerable argumenC
for the stability and power of the United
States, and shows the most unbounded conf
dence Of the people in the Government
and the resources of the country This is
wholly domestic loan and the fve-twenty
bonds will be kept as keepsakes of patriot
ism by the people until the Government
shall call them in at the appointed time
The influence of this loan is felt ike SEN
timent Of loyalty all over the country it is
patriotic cord which unites the people, and
binds them to the welfare of the nation, and
makes every man, and the women too, God
bless them, feel an individual interest in the
prosperity of the country. The history
and success of this loan is a lesson worthy of
being deeply studied by cavellers and grum-
blers at home and abroad, aud no better or
more forcible argument can be presented to
them to prove the groundlessness of their
fears and doubts than the simple facts above
stated No nation on the face of the earth
can boast of success SO complete, and at the
same time so safe and satisfactory to all par
ties concerned

The Emancipation Movement in Maryland.
The Baltimore american, of Jan. 25th,
referring to the speeches of Montgomery
Blair, Senator Hicks and Thos. Swami, be-
fore the Maryland legislature at Annapolis
on the evening of the 22d January, says:
Mr. Blair speech is confined to gener-
al discussion of the causes of the rebellion,
and an advocacy of the President S Emanci
patton and Amnesty Proclamations and does
not touch upon State matters. Senator
Hicks spoke very briefly, bat found oppor-
tunity to..declare himself in favorof prompt
action by the State in reference to Eman-
cipation. There is, he declares, mo prac
'tieal benefit in temporizing over subject
(which had already been disposed OF, virtu-
sally, by current events Mr.. Swami was
more distinct and emphatic in his declara-
tions He declared Immediate emancipa-
ton the only remedy, and avowed the in
tention of himself and friends to push the
steed of Emancipation with Whip and spur,
''until every valley and every hilltop shall
''feelth tramp of his glorious mission, and
''the whole State of Maryland, from its CEN
tire to its circumference, shall be awakened
ito an edict of universal Emancipation. +"
These are good words and if they be well
supported by acts, then, as Mr.. Swami said,
We are truly "a united party

At Their Old Trick-Peryersiop.

The editors of the Copperhead organ in
this place seem to be constitutionally ad-
dicted to preventing and falsifying the Ian
guage Of others another proof Of which we
have in their last issue. In commenting
upon note which we appended to our no.
tice of certain riot case that was tried at
the last term of our Court of Quarter Ses-
sions, they say
"A more fragrant unprovoked and mis-
chievous assault upon Court and Jurynev-
er before disgraced the public press. . E.
What is here taught? Why, that the fra
cas- between Bloom and Addleman justified
his home, etc. This is the first lesson
taught in this editorial note "
The editors of the Copperhead organ
knew, when they penned the above senten-
ces, that they were falsifying the record
What we said was this After briefly sta
ting the origin of the prosecution and refer
ring to several points proven by the defen-
dants, we remarked,
We are also informed, that the counsel for
| the prosecution endeavored to excite the po-
| litiC al preiudices and feelings of the jurors
against the prisoners jury being divi-
ded 10 to politically that but for this
effort, at least Pyles would have been acquit-
ted, if not the Others. We have deemed it
but due to the defendants to make this ex-
| planation, since the cause seems to have as
sumed more the character of a political cru
| sade, than the vindication of our criminal
statutes.
Now, every intelligent reader viii at a
glance perceive that what was said in that
note is the language of others, and we gave
it as such-and that the language even as
| used is grossly perverted and misrepresent-
ed. As no reference was made to the Court,
the statement ofthese Copperhead editors is
simply false And as no one justified the
| assault upon Bloom, their gratuitous asser-
ton TO that effect is as devoid of truth as the
other And hence, it is not necessary Tor
US TO consume further time and space with
the subject Men of intelligence will at
once discover their object. Their bald
face perversion of Our language will not
avail them to evade the truth

THE Supreme Court of this State has re-
-versed its decision on the constitutional
ty of the Conscription Act, made when
Lowrie, Woodward and Thompson were
the majority on the bench and now affirms
It's constitutionality. This decision is owing
to the displacement of Lowrie by Judge
Agnew by the people at the last election; a
most righteous verdict on their part The
Court now stands politically, two Republi-
cans, one Democrat, and two Copperheads:
The great sticklers for the constitutionality
of every thing calculated to save the coun-
try will be thrown somewhat aback by this
decision.
