I've" lOTk, -Sln Jan, 1000
To the Treasurer Of the State Of Pennsylvania
We have received from Messrs. N. NJ
Rothschild L Sons, ofLondon, 800, o,886.1O
Pennsylvania State > per cent. stock
which we sent to Philadelphia for redemp
tion, to be followed in few days by fur.
ther lot of 100000.
Besides these, Messrs. RothschiId hold
about 100000 more of stock already
overdue and becoming due this year.
These gentlemen again complain of the in
Justice Of the action of the State Of Penn
sylvania, ia forcing its creditors to accept
payment in deprecated currency. and
have instructed US to receive payment on
ly under protest, as heretofore.
They would, however, prefer to hold the
stock, if an arrangement could be made
with your State for a continuation of the
loan. and will only accept payment now il
compelled to do so by discoutnuance OF
the interest. We have written to the Far
mers' and Mechanics National Bank OF
Philadelphia to confer with you on this
subject before accepting payment, and W.
beg you will give this matter Your serious
consideration and let us know whether an
extension as desired by Messrs. RothschiId
is possible.
Hoping soon to hear from you, We re-
main yours respectfully,
AUG. BELMONT & Co.

sed by the Legislature, it would seem to
be further increase of salary. When a
hasty glance at the Auditor. Generals Re
port reveals such irregularities as have
been mentioned, it would seem prop
step for Legislature TO examine further in
to the matter. If the law has been strict
ly observed, then the reputation of the
Legislature of 1867 will be rescued from
the odium in which it is at present held !;
but if illegal acts have been perpetrated,
then the proper remedy should be applied.

Political and Statistical Almanacs.

The Washington National Itelligencer,
February Z, thus estimates the value of the
political aud statistical almanacs for the
coming year:
MIR. Greeley, quite number of years
ago, compiled the Tribune Almanac, and
has kept it up every succeeding year. The
one for the cnrrcnl year is tole rably well
made up, but we are sorry to see adver-
tisements interspersed all through the
reading matter. This is great nuisance,
and lessons the value of the book. Credit
ought to be above mere money making in
such business. The example of Greeley
has set others to work. Van Evrie, Hor-
ton & Co. have for some years published
the Democratic Almanac which is, in some
respects. even better and more useful
work this year than the Tribune Almanac.
Better still, in the fullncss and complete
ness of its statistics, is the EUeaiRg Jour
nal Almanac, of Albany. But the New
York WORLD seems TO have waited for
all these to make their cast, in order to
show how far it could excel them all. Its
almanac for this year is wonderful exhi-
tilion of skill and industry in compilation,
and far excels anything OF the kind we
lave seen. In lieu of the IriJune'S adver-
tIsements, it gives US most important and
useful information. lis election returns
are fuller than those of It's rivals. We
have, moreover, all the acts of Congress
bearing on reconstruction, and very full
and careful narI Iaiive ofthe political events
under this head since the close of the war.
In short, this little book should be in the
hands Of every politician, editor, or any
one, indeed, who wants to be well posted
1t would do much good, we think, to some
Of our Radical Senators who have been
dabbing in figures OF late, unadvisedly, and
somewhat at random. 1t might save them
from /" many a Lluuder and foolish notion"
They cannot buy copy 10 soon.

The CLOUD IN THE WEsT--The fool
ish bondhodcrs, on the Atlantic coast,
have not the faintest idea of how terribly
in earnest the great North West is about
paying off the pubic Indebtedness in tie
same currency i" Chich II ,rds contrGrtea.-
1t will be the part of wisdom, in the bond-
holders, TO compromise, and take their pay
in .greenbackS-not more deprecated than
these were in 1868 4-when so mIch of
he debt was contracted We are in IA
yor Of paving off the debt honestly, in
greenback>, at not less than An average
worth of fifty cents on the gold DOLLAR
This viii be handsome profit for old
money-bags, who bought these obligations
at thirty tioe cents on the dollar, and has
been drawing gold interest at par, ever
since.
The Marion CoGnty Black Republican
Convention, in Indiana, Indianapolis, the
capital, is in Marion ccunty,) has passed
very strong resolutions that the Fve-twen-
ties and other such bonds, ought to be paid
off in greenbacks. The Fort Wayne. Qnd)
Democrat--next to the indianapolis Her
aid, the most Influential Democratic paper
in the State, predicts that the Black Re
publican Convention of Indiana will en-
dorse the proposition that the bonds shall
have no other payment than that kind OF
currency promised for them.
We recommend the shoddy- -bondholders
to look ont for the locomotive when the
bell rings.--Ffeeman'S Journal.

Nt" L OTh, tU. 1cOS.
Sir: have to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter Of the Goth ult, addressed TO
my house, in reply to our application on
behalf of Messrs. Ro'hschild d Sons, of
London, who had fstructcd US to receive
payment of the Pennsylvania State stock
now due, under protest in case the State
should not pay the principal in coin, and
in case no arrangement could be effected
having in view continuation of the inter
est and an extension of the time of redemp-
tion of the capital,
Messrs Rolhschild act in this matter as
trustees of the holders of the debentures of
the late United States Bank, of Pennsyl-
yania, residing in England and on the con
tinent of Europe. You seem so well ac-
quainted with the financial transactions of
States aud individuals, that YOU must know
that by these debentures hundreds Of wild
ows aud orphans have been reduced to
beggary.
Mess's. Rothschild in trying to save for
. their constituents all they can ont of the
wreck, have made through my house an
application, which they as well as | deem
Just and equitable, and this application was
made in a courteous and respectful man
ner. In so doing Messrs. Rothschild have
eyinced new proof if any was wanted, of
their strict and honorable appreciation of
the obligations assumed as trustees for the
innocent holders Of the most disastrous Sc
curity ever negotiated by their house, a
negotiation based principally upon the
faith Of the State of Pennsylvania and its
great banking institutions.
Your reference to the liabilities of my
house, contracted in coin and assumed by
you to have been paid IN currency, is as
impertinent AS it is untrue in point of fact
August Belmont & Co. have never de-
clin,d d TO neet any demand Tor the pay
ment in coin of any liability contracted by
them in coin, before or since the Legal
tender act.
If they had adopted a course towards
their creditors which you propose to take
on behalf of the State of PENNSYLVANIA to-
waTds her unfortunate creditors represent
ed by the Mcssrs. Rothschild, there might
have been some excuse for the lack of cour-
tesy which you have exhibited in your
letter to them.
10 conclusion, l take this opportunity to
express my regret that the State of Penn
sylvania should have for its Treasurer a
person who could so far disgrace the State
be assumes to represent and forget the dig
nifty of the Office he holds, as to reply to
civil business communication in manner
which must raise the blush of shame on
the cheek of every citizen oil that great and
honored State. am your obedient serv't,
TSigncd AUGUST BELMONT.

Of the State of Penn'a, Harrisburg,
IMPEAcHMENT.-The question of i'm
peachment has been again raised by the
mongrel Congress. The impression seems
to gain strength that the impeachment o:
the President will be the surest>aud speed
lest way to effect reputation.

WHAT's The MArrER.-We notice in
looking over the Committees in the SEN
ate, that the Rec. Geo. Lgndou's name
does not appear as Chairman on slngle
Committee, and that his name cnly ap-
pears at the tale eud Of one or two uuim
portant ones. This is rather cool on the
Senator when bis friends endeavor to mag
Nifty him as The leading man of the State
Senate. THIS same Lsndon got the 90 by
at the Republican meeting at the Court
House, On Monday evening last, when the
meeting declined to consider resolution
endorsing him for United States Senator.
Truly, the way Of tie political transgress
or is hard, aud Mr.. l.. will undoubtedly
realize his situation ere long, The honest
second sober thought of the people will
surely condemn him for his many tergiv-
ersations. .-BrodJord Argas.

THE SOLDIER AND BOND lToLpER-
There are two efficient ways of sustaining
the Government, viz; To fight its battles;
in time Of war, and pay its taxes in time
Of peace. The bond-hoIder does neither,
and yet he is the petled and privileged fav
orite of the Government. The soldier does
both, and yet he is consigned to poverty
and urrlect.

The last charge against Mr.. Colfax is the fol-
lowing, in The Washington Constitutional Union
of June II:
The following is extract from a letter written by
Schuyler COlfaX:
once registered a solemn oath never to vote for
foreign.bOrn man for any office under the American
Government and 10 remove all foreigners, aliens, ana
Roman Catholics from office whenever might possess
the power 10 do so'
Who was this letter written to, and Uhen
No one can answer, for it is a base coinage
Mr.. c. has had every act of his life, public and
private, thoroughly scanned and criticised in
the sharp, hand-to-hand contests he has had
with his opponents seven times over, since
1854, and has every time been Endorsed and
indicated by those who know him as
thoroughly as his constituents do. His district
contains more foreigners than any other in
Indiana, and he has always, in spite of just such
charges received more of their votes than any
other Republican. One of his counties, Lake,
has a majority of its voters of foreign birth.
While he has been running for Congress, he
has converted it from Democratic county TO
the banner Republican county of the dis
trict, giving him steadily increasing majorities
the last time fully two to one. In Clay
Township, in his own county (St. Joseph u
majority of whose voters are Catholic, he has
several times CARRIED it, when the rest of his
ticket has been beaten in it by a two-thirds
vote. And, as the Republican State ticket in
Indiana has almost always one or more of its
nominees of foreign BIRTH he has voted for
such candidates at nearly every election; and
among them we remember Albert Lange, born
in Germany, for State Auditor; John Young,
born in Great Britain, for State Superintend-
ont; John J.. Mansfield born in Germany, &c.
Was there ever n more stupid and malignant
falsehood than the above extract from
letter written by Schuyler Colfaxf
