We make the following valuable ex-
tract in relation to our national debt
and resources from the great speech
lately delivered at the Boston Music

of attention.

Treasurer Of Pennsylvania. 1t IS seldom
a robuke is so we'll deserved as is this one
by Gen. Kemble, and still more seldom

acting, had to do with business transac-
ton, every sensible man must fail to see.
The language used By Gen. Kemble was
gross outrage.

WILLIAM II. KEMBLE, Esq, State
Treasurer of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg.

On the 22d ultimo, Hon. Harry White
delivered an able speech in the State
Senate, indorsing the action of the U. S.
Senate in reinstating Hon. Edwin Nj.
Stanton as Secretary of Wax. As the
Harrisburg Telegraph aptly observes, the
Senator was the victim of Southern cru
city through long term of Imprisonment,
and if Secretary Stanton had been guilty
of the conduct charged by his opponents,
he would hardly be defended by such
men as General White

The 2Ist senatorial District.

| The committee on the contested eleo.
ton case of Robson rs. Shugart, from thu
21st Senatorial district, have been busy
hearing testimony for couple of weeks
past. The most astounding frauds have
been proved against the Democrats. 1t
has been proved that fraudulent naturali-
cation papers were manufactured by the
wholesale, upon which whole troops Of
raw Irishmen voted throughout the dis
trict for Shusart, the Democratic candi-
date. In Ceuter county, for example,
over sixty foreigners voted for Shugart on
GENERALIZATION papers purporting to have
been issued in Luaerpe county. These
naturalization papers are pronounced for
geries by the Prothonotary of that county,
And SO the whole district through
illegal voting, and colonization, and cor,
ruption everywhere. These frauds have
been SO incontestably pinned down upon
the Democratic party that they are no
longer denied,
a fitting sequel to this illustration of
the Democratic plan of conducting a po-
litical campaign is found in the murder
of one of the witnesses against Shugart.
A witness, one Casey, himself one of the
illegal voters, in obedience to a lawful
summons appears before the investigating
committee and testiies to what he knows
concerning the frauds committed. His
testimony weighs heavily against the Dem
ocratie party, and he is murdered ere he
can return home. Well may honest Dem
ocrats hang their heads in shame, and
their tongues refuse to utter aught in ex-
tenuation of the internal wickeduess and
corruption of their party
The following joint resolution passed
both branches of the Legislature a few
days ago:
Whereas, During the hearing of evidence in
the case of j. h. Robson against Samuel T.
Shugart, one of the sitting members of the
Senate from the Twenty first Senatorial
District, a certain John easy was examined
as a witness or behalf of said j. X. Robson,
contestant, and said easy, after examination,
was waylaid in the county of Clearfeld and
abused that he has since died,
ReSolyed, That the Governor be and is
hereby authorized and required to offer
reward of two thousand dollars for such
information as will lead to the arrest and
conviction of the person or persons commit
ting said offense, and that the Treasurer of
the Commonwealth be authorized and
required TO pay the said sum.
In obedience to this resolution, Cover
nor Geary has offered a reward of $4,000
for the arrest of the murderers.
Robson will undoubtedly obtain the
seat in the Senate. Shugart's claim
thereto is stained with blood and black
ened by bribery and corruption, and will
not stand before God nor hold good In
the eyes of man.

THERE are now pending before the
Supreme Court Of the United States sew
eral suits involving the authority of Con-
gress to make greenbacks legal tender.
One of these suits is from California, in
which State is a law declaring that certain
taxes shall be paid in gold, and in gold
only. Another case is from Oregon, that
State haying on its statute-book law
requiring oil taxes to be paid in gold
The remaining case is one of ordinary
debt. The Corrt has now under conaid-
Grafton motion to continue them all to
next term, owing to the inability of the
Attorney General, for want of lime, to
frame an argument in support of the Legal
tender law.

GEN. HANCOCK, soon after going to
New Orleans, was compared by Andrew
johnson, in a message to Congress, to
Washington. He had restored the reign
of law, said Andy. "Amon !" shouted
the Democratic press. Alas for Hancock
But Hancock has fallen. He no longer
pleases Andy, or follows after Washing
ton. In the second district of New Or
leans, the Council attempted to elect a
Recorder after he had bade them not to
do so. For this contempt, Hancock re-
moved them, and cites an official act OF
Sheridan as his precedent! How are the
mighty fallen !

New YoRk, February 4, 1868.

NEW 1ORhj IeDruaIy Il, 1000.
SIR-I have to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the Both ult., addressed
to my house, in reply to our application
on behalf of Messrs. n. NJ. Rothsehild &
Sons, of London, who had instructed 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 interest and an extension of the time
of redemption of the capital.
Messrs. Rothschild act in this matter
as trustees of the holders Of the deben-
lures Of the late United States Bank of
Pennsylvania, residing in England and on
the Continent of Europe. You seem so
we'll acquainted with the financial trans
actions of States and individuals that you
must know that by these debentures hun
dreds Of widows and orphans have been
reduced TO beggary.
Messrs. Rothschild, in trying to save
for their constituents all they can out of
the wreck, have made through my house
an application, which they as we'll as [
deem just and equitable, and this applica-
ton was made in courteous and respect
full manner. In so doing Messrs. Roths-
child have evinced a new proof, if any
was wanted, oc their strict and honorable
appreciation of the obligations assumed by
them as trustees for the innocent holders
by their house, a negotiation based prin-
cipally upon the faith of the State of
Pennsylvania and its great banking insti-
tuition.
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 & Go. have never declined
to meet any demand for the payment In
coin of any liability contracted by them
in coin, before or since the legal tender
act.
IF they had adopted the course towards
their creditors which you propose to take
on behalf of the State Of Pennsylvania
towards her unfortunate creditors repre-
sented by the Messrs. Rothschild, there
might have been some excuse for the lack
| of courtesy which you have exhibited in
your letter to them.
In conclusion, I take this opportunity
to express my regret that the State OF
| Pennsylvania should have for its Treasurer
person who could SO far disgrace the
| State he assumes to represent, and forget
the dignity of the Office he holds, as tc
reply to a civil businiss communication In
manner which must raise the blush ot
shame on the cheek of every citizen o.
that great and houored State.
[ am your obedient servant,
AUGUST BELMONT.
