At the Presidential election just closed,
655,662 votes were poled in Pennsylvania.
In 1860 the vote of the State was 49, ,642
while the census of that year showed the
population to be 2,9O6,ll5. If the ratio of
population to voters is the same now as in
1860 land it is greater), the present popula-
ton of the Keystone State must be about
100000. In 1860 there were 2,058 miles
of railway in the State now there arc 4,3l1
miles, thus placing Pennsylvania among the
first railroad States in America. These new
lines of railway have built up towns and
villages and cities, established markets
where none previously existed, and impaired
great stimulus to agriculture The euor-
nous increase of mining and manufacturing
business, under the regime of protection, has
also furnished the farmers with great home
market, and thus further stimulated their
enterprise. The census of 1870 will give
Philadelphia million of inhabitants, Pitts
burgh and her environs quarter of a million,
and Reading $4,000.

REDUCTION OF THE STATE DEBT.-aov.

REDUCTION OF THE STATE DEBT.-aov.
Geary issued his proclamation last week, III
accordance with the law requiring an an
nual announcement Of the reduction OF the
State Debt through the agancy of the Sink
ing Fund, in which ho states that the re-
duction of the debt on the Both day of No
vember, 1868, amounts to two million four
hundred and fourteen thousand eight nun
cred and sixteen dollars and sixty -four cents,
made up as follows: -
Five per cent loan redeemed, Sl,1l5,ids ~ ~

The Sinking Fund was commenced under
Governor Johnston, and the law was passed
in accordance with his recommendation. At
the time of its passage the State Debt was
about forty.fve millions, and it is now
reduced to about twenty millions; showing
q payment of twenty-five millions since the
Sinking Fund was put in operation. But
the greatest reduction by far, we believe, of
any one year, is that under the wise and
economical administration of Gov. Geary,
above announced. Should he be continued
in Office for another term, the State Debt, at
its expiration, will be very email matter
indeed, and perhaps entirely cancelled.
II should be remembered that the State
Debt was all made under Democratic adj
ministrations; that its reduction was plan.
ned and has been principally made under
Republican administrations. These facts
cannot be denied.

 The pen. Up wrath oi the house broke loose Tor the first time since tie first day ot the session on Thursday. A bill was under consideration tu xitow the inilifia in actual service to vote wherever they chanced tu be when elections were hcfs. Mir. Fenno offered an amendment 10 the effect that in the election :o fill 'he existing vacancy in the congres -ional represcnt- aiion oi' the 2nd district. none but those who were duly registered in the 2rd district be allowed 10 vote. This very reasonable modi fica,ion was reused by vote oi i9 to II. and the bill was hur- ried through nom it's introduction 10 it's final passage with haste thai could only be accounted for by the use to be made oi the new law--the elee- fion the next day.
 In the course of pro,racted debate Brooks said there was danger oi that sentiment being represented that had caused the assassination os llinis. No pains should be spared to prevent such result. We had just passed through desperate conflict in which existence itself was involved, and il wac yet question whether wn could stay here or not. IT the old .itizeas obtained control we would be forced to take up our carpet bags and leave. His remarks were iuhamaiory in the extreme.
 A number Of members participated In the discussion and the following opposed the measure to the lasi, on the ground that door would thus be opened for fraud and knavery:

 REcLA!MING LANDs.-Thrrc shoni1, properly speaking. be no idle time on a farm. Especially is this the case in southern farm Ii c. where all the encr- gies of hard applied labor hayr been employed in cxtausiirg rather than in recupcra,ing lands. There is vast area of these lauds which having lain allow SO long have grown up ill sedge and constitute barren waste on which the farmer bestows little orn aiten- ton. when in reality. there is d secret of wealth on the poorest acre oi them all. that would not cost halt SD much to learn as opening the same quantity in the alluyial bottoms. We reier 10 the system ot hroadcs.ing and turning under or a succession of crops as pi,ac- ticed in the older states, beginning in the fall season. 1 aay ot our farmers have lots of opei. land tying onvenient to the premises. which have from the causes mentioned been cast aside, we would s,iggrsi the proprieiy of csperi- menting with View Of reclaiming these lands and making them available.

Legalizing specie Contracts.

The New York Post contains an ar ticc op financial matter, in which, i; eays: f
 l1t has been reserved for oer time. to. witness n "corner" in the currency or money of the country. The legal-ten der act has made tn opportunity. aud certain as'ute spectators. who hay, obtained possrssiom of large sum oi money. have used it for the purpose v getting more.
 Let. then. Congress attend to its du. ty the moment it meets, .aislsptsoise make law ul all specie contracts. Cred it will then be possible in form in which no corner eau be made.
 There may be created tlpunsnd for specie which shall induce such d sup ply of specie that the country may saic- ly resume specie payment.
 Itgoid contracts are made legal. and measures taken to make the credit ot the United States good, eo that our bonds may be ~xpected presently to rise to par. there will be ai induce ment tor all bankers to borrow upon our bonds in Eul ope rather than to sell them there. since by such an operation they could secure the profit o; the ad- VtuCe III Illt UUHVS. duu III tit SduiV time do b,nking business upon the gold borrowed upon them.
 Let us suppose gold contracts legal ized aud a return to specie payment as- sured in three years. Our bonds stand ai eighty i,i Frankfort. There can be I,iittic doubt that.loans upon three years can be negotiated upon such bonds as security +, then. upon SlOOO00 of bonds S75.0O0 of gold shou d be borrow : ed. and this gold lent out here on gold notes or made the basis of a gold bank of discount. the banker might have three years of banking protits--say | S25OOJ--then pay his loan aud sell bis bonds al IS high price in gold as they now bear in currency. thereby clearing SlS.090 interest in addition to his bank ing profits. .S43,O0 ill all.
 What ia needed is to induce men of large capital and good credit io borrow yold--raiher than for the Government to herd Hp ,br necessary supply which we must have to resume upon.
 When we have done thus. gold must flow hither--the demand vii! bring the supply-- and inc legal-trnacr currency may then be withdrawn and no shock

DEATH Oh JOHN WArT.-This headingis one
that will st,ile sorrow to many hearts who
knew the subject of this tribute. Born In
Scotland, at an early age MIR. Watt came to
this country and settled in Port Gibson, Miss,
where be soon acquired an enviable business
reputation, and eventually pecuniary CON-
petence. BE subsequently removed to New
Orleans, and here he has since resided, al
ways occupying prominent position in the
business world, and having always around
him large circle of devoted friends. During
the war M Watt was unceasing in his en-
deavors to aid the families Of those who, con-
tending in the field, were unable to succor the
dear ones at home. He lost, through the re-
suits of the war, large portion of his fortune,
which, when peace again dawned, he set to
work to regain.
Mr.. Watt was the head Of large family,
who have, it is needless to say, the sympa-
thy of hosts of friends. His place will be a
hard one to fill, as he was one Of the old race
of upright, energetic business men who have
made New Orleans what it is. May he sleep
the long sleep peacefully, and may the good
deeds that he has done in this life follow him
into the hereafter.
