PennsylyauIa State Loan.

Ar last the disgrace so long attached to our
State is to be wiped out, and the preparatory
steps to the redemption OF our overdue bonds
have already been taken. Elsewhere in our
paper to-day will be found the advertisement
of the Governor, Auditor-G General, and State
Treasurer, asking for proposals for the loan
of S23OOOOOO. The loan is exempt from
all State and local taxation, and divided
into four classes namely Five millions of dol
lars, payable at any time after five years, and
within ten years; eight millions Of dollars,
payable at any time after ten years, and
within fifteen years; and ten millions OF dol
lars, payable at any time after fifteen years.
and within twenty-five years.
The proposals for this loan must state
whether they intend 10 demand five or six
per cent. interest, and whether they will pay
cash, or exchange the overdue bonds. The
proposals must be forwarded to the Capital,
with the direction Proposals for Pennsylva-
MIA State Loan, Treasury Department, Har-
risburg, Pa. U. S. A" The seals will be
broken on the first of April, 1867, at noon, by
the Governor, Auditor General, and State
Treasurer, and the loan awarded. The ad-
yantages of such an investment must be OBJ
yious to every capitalist. The security is
undoubted, the interest is a high one, and the
length of time before maturing commends it
to all guardians and trustees. Much credit is
due to Mr.. w. Fl. Kemble, the Treasurer, for
the energy with which he has pressed this be-
coming change in the financial policy OF our
State. lhe Legislature also deserves thanks,
not for doing what is only its duty, but for
doing 1t so promptly, and in such an accept
able and equitable form.

LEWISTON, February 6.-The terrible murder
OF two old women in Auburn, on the stormy
THURSDAY three or four weeks since, Is we'll
remembered as one of the most brutal and
hendish that ever was recorded IN the criminal
calendar OF this country. Two old women were
raVished, ana then murdered
Several arrests have been made but until
now all attempts TO secure the really guilty
parties have been in vain. When the strag-
glIng trenchman was arrested some two weeks
ago, the double murder was enyeloped i'm
greater mystery than ever, and every trace of
the author OF the hellish outrage seemed 10 be
oblIterated. Search had been made in every
direction for trace Of straggler, but although
a fortnight had elapsed, and every neghbor-
hood had been aroused, yet none could be
heard ol as suspicious except the unfortunate
Frenchman.
This absence of every trace of a straggler
gradually compelled the officers to dismiss the
sIaggler theory, and con6ne their attentions
nearer home. AS soon as the case came to this
poni, the authorities sent 10 New York and
secured the services OF one OF the best detec-
tlves in that city, who quietly came to Lewis
ton and Auburn some ten days since, ano
unknown to any person except those specially
interested proceeded TO investigate the circum-
stances OF the scene OF the double murder, and
mmgled with the people in the vicinity in the
gulse of an ordinary stranger, conversed freely
with every ybody who had any information, aLd
took note of every circumstance tnat bore upon
the tragedy, and with the help OF the local OH.
| GERS lerreted out every tact.
The detective was satisfied that the crime
| was committed by some person or persons well
| acquainted with the premises, and that there
! was PROBABLE reason to suppose that money
| might have been the original object IN entering
| the house, If not OF the murder. These and
| other facts threw suspicion upon negro about
! twenty years OF age, who has been at work
some mon tbs In a shoe factory in West Auburn,
about half mile distant from the scene OF the
murder. He had been arrested previously, but
nothing appeared against him, and he was dis
charged.
He was, however, arrested second time and
confined In the Auburn jail. From their in
yestigations the officers we're enabled to lay
uefore the negro certain Developments, which
led TO full confession that he was one of the
parties engaged in the commission of thus
diabolical crime and the further statement that
white man was concerned with him IN the
double murder. He confessed all the circum-
stances OF the crime, particularizing the manner
in which admission was gained to the house
and the crime committed The white man i'm.
pllcated by the negro will be arrested tonight
and an investigation had tomorrow.

THE CASE OF Hon. G. V. CULVER
We are glad to see by telegraph that Mr.
c. V. Culver has been acquitted of the
criminal charges of which he was accused
While public feeling, Immediately after the
failure OF Culver, Penn & Co., ran high
against him, yet time has allowed the passion
to cool; and he who was first reviled as a
scoundrel, has shown himself only an unfor-
was received with applause by the entire
audience, shows what way public feeling
tended at his home, and is the best evidence
of his innocence.

TIE RATE OF INTEREST IN MAssACHU-
sETTs.-The Massachusetts, House OF Repre-
sentatives has passed law allowing the rate
of interest to be fixed at seven per cent. by
special contract. All the States bordering
upon New York, and whose rates of interest
are less than seven per cent, will eventually
be forced into measures similar to this, or else

Austrian Mines.-It is supposed to be the in
tentiou of Count Larisch to lease the mines
belonging TO the State in Austria. A commence
ment has been made with the well-known quick
silver mines of Idria, which have been farmed
by the clearinghouse of Weickersheim & Bran
dies for a term OF ten years. The lessees agree
to take the whole produce of the mines at a
certain price, and as the demand Tor quick
silver is very fuctuating, the Government gains
the advantage OF liked revenue upon which 1t
can deDend.

We must say that this whole business, from
beginning to end, is about as paltry as It is
possible to conceive of. How a man OF Mr..
Stewards intelligence and ordinary sense OF

to such stuff as this Insignificant creature had
concocted would pass our comprehension,
had he not made 1t the basis of his insulting

SOUTHERN MILITARY DIsTRIors.-The
Reconstruction Committee, yesterday, re-
ported bill in favor of reducing the entire
South to a number of military districts. 1t
provides, after reciting the dangers and OPP
pressions to which loyal men are exposed.
that the "so-called States shall be divided into
military districts and made subject to the
military authority OF the United States as
hereinafter prescribed; and for that purpose
Virginia shall constitute the first district,
North Carolina and South Carolina the second
district, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida the
third district, Mississippi and Arkansas the
fourth district, and Louisiana and Texas the
fifth district" The remaining sections of the
bill make arrangements for carrying this new
provision into effect. The bill is one of the
utmost Importance, and, as all its ideas have
been thoroughly discussed for the past two
months, both in and out of Congress, Mr.
Stevens announces his intention OF pressing it
to a vote this evening. There seems to be
but little doubt Of its passage.

~, A NEW GOSPEL
ACCORDING TO sHoNB;Rd.

Iu the days of JEFF the Seeeshite
whose namo was Davis, a great com.
motion and much tri5ulation arose in
the land Of Dixie, whereof jeff had
been appointed King and High Pries!
Now jeff. had raised a rebellion in
the land of the Amerieanites aud q
great multitude Glove unto him as
aforetime one-third Of the sons of
Heaven Glove unto Satap, This was
in the reign Of Lincoln, the Republic
can, who was also cal cd Abraham,
because he was tho father OF Israel,
his country. And great signs and
many wonders were seen of men,
both on sea and on land tho like
whereunto the sons of Adam had new
er seen in all the days hitherto
Ships of iron fought upon the oceans
like leviathans in the old time before ;
and legions Of warriors made war
above the clouds and the forked light
nings.
Now JEFF, had a province among
the mountains, q goodly land wherein
were many cattle and swine and
much corn, but the people whereof
still turned their faces towards Jsrg.
salem with prayers and weeping, and
refused to give themselves unto jeff.
and his Philistiles, nor would they
bow unto the Id ia Of Baal and make
sacrifice unto Moloch, but obeyed the
ordinances Of Israel and tie Lord
their God. And behold when JEFF.
heard this he was wFoth exceedingly
and he sent for one Of bis Captains,
a mighty man OF war, and he com.
manded him to 20 into this mountain
province and lay waste the choice
places thereof; aud put W the sword
svery man and woman who cave un-
TO Israel Then the Captain and his
host crossed tho mopnllins and pour
ed themselves through the valleys like
a mighty flood, the waves whereof
are red with blood. But many es.
capped and fed away like as from the
earthquake in the days Of Ukziah,
king OF Judah, some unto the forests,
others, hid themselves in caves and So
cret places, and many sought refuge
in the land Of Abraham, which is
Gods lard, But the slaughter made
By the Philistines was great, and the
spoil exceedingly rich, and many men
they took captive, and they laid waste
all the land, and the distress thereof
was too great To be borne. And there
were wounds, and sickness, and hun
ger, and cold, and nakedhess, and
withal sorrow and lamentation for tho
dead and the captive, so great was, the
curse that fell upon the mountain
province.
In those days there were three men
in tho province who cognseled each
with himself what he would do.
George, whose surname was Broughn:
John, whose surname w9s Baekster,
and ops Phlsgming publican. Now
Broughn was q judge in tho land, and

CHARLESTON, S. c., April 81, 1867.
Circular.
In reply to letters received at these headquar-
tiers, asking information to the operation in
particular cases of General Orders No. 10, current
series from these headquarters, am directed by
the commanding general to state that the provis-
ions of the order will be interpreted and enforced
by the courts. The order is to be deemed and
taken ordinance having the sanction and
authority of the. United States for the regulation
of certain civil affairs therein specified within so
much of the territory occupied by the military
forces of the United States, lately the theatre of
war, as is embraced within the second military
district created by act of Congress.
Although some of the former political relations
OF the Inhabitants are in allegiance, their private
relations, their persons and property, and their
remedies for wrongs remain as heretofore, within
the cognizance of the local tribunals, and subject
to the laws of the provisional government hitherto
in force, except far such laws are in conflict
with the Constitution and laws of the United
States, or with the regulations prescribed by the
commanding general.
Amongst the consequences necessarily incident
to the military authority established by Congress,
and Indispensable to the objects tor which the
authority is established, is the appointment and
control of the civil agents by whom and measures
by which the government Gd interim is to be con-
Quoted In the exercise of this authority, such
regulations and appointments will be announ-
ced from time to time as may become neces-
sary; and so far as these regulations concern the
ordinary civil relations of the inhabitants, they
will be administered by the courts and by the
proper civil officers in the usual course Of pro-
cedure.
Whilst it will not be convenient to respond to
particular inquiries made by citizens as to the
and application of these regula-
tions, such heterogeneous will be answered when
addressed to the general commanding by the ap-
j. W. CLOUs,
