OBITUARY.
moral William II. MONTGOMERY.

General William II. Montgomery.
William Reading Montgomery, an officer of
the regular army and general of volunteers in
the late war, died at his residence near Bristol,
Pa, on May 81, in the SEVENTEEN year of his
age. He was born in Monmouth county, N. j.,
and his father was James Montgomery, well
known as a Revolutionary soldier.
William r. Montgomery entered West Point
in 1891, and in July, 1925, was breveted second
lieutenant in the Third infantry. He after
wards became captain in the Eighth infantry,
and as such was engaged In the Mexican war,
where he was breyeted major for excellent
conduct in several battles. He was again ad-
vanced to the rank of lieutenant-colonel for
meritoriOus conduct in the battle of Molno del
Rey. He was wounded in this battle, and also
previously at the battle of Resaca de la Palma.
In 1854, while in command of Fort Riley, in
Kansas, certain troubles arising from his North
ern sentiments and those of the then Secretary
of War, JEFF Davis, caused him to leave the
service.
He was sixty years of age when the Rebellion
broke out, but he Immediately took command of
the First New Jersey Volunteers, and was pre-
sent at several battles. He became brigadier-
general August II, 1851. He was military
governor of Alexandria, Va, and also of
Annapolis, Nd, and in 1852 held the military
command of Philadelphia. In 1864 he retired
from public life, and he has since lived at his
home near Bristol.

afraid to unfurl free-trade banner. The
Columbus Convention passed, without opPo-
sition, aresolution favoring strictly revenue
tariff and opposing the protective theory; and
it thus avowed resolute determination TO
continue unceasing warfare upon the varied
industrial interests involving the welfare of
this Commonwealth. The Buckeyes also
adopted resolution favoring amodiied form
of repudiation by insisting that the bonds of
the Government shall be redeemed in green
backs instead of gold; and the Ohio plat
form, as a whole, is better expression of the
real sentiments of a majority of the Demo-
cracy of Pennsylvania than that which the
latter pat forth for deceptive purposes

THE HOUSE or CORRECTJON

TIE HOUSE or CORRECTION.
The Committee on the House of Correction
yesterday made report giving the result of
their investigation into the quality of the
stone being used in the foundations. The
investigation was ordered at the instance of
the Citizens Association, who intimated that
rotten and worthless stone was being
used, in violation of the builders contract
and to the detriment of the structure
now being put up near Bridesburg to be used
as House of Correction. After careful
inquiry into the matter, and personal in
spection, the committee came to the conclu-
sion that the accusation was based upon
mistake, the persons making it having been
misled by finding pieces of soft stone which
had been rejected by the builders ly-
ing about the place, and their report,
in making a statement of the facts
of the case, completely exonerates
the contractor, Mr.. r. j. Dobbins, from
blame, and asserts that he is laying the foun-
dation with good material and in a substantial
and proper manner. Mr.. Dobbins is a
builder of the highest reputation, under
whose superintendent some of the finest
edifces that have adorned Philadelphia of
late years have been put up, and he is par
ticularly noted for the excellent quality
of his work. Such a man could not
afford to slight such job as
the House of Correction, and it is for his in
terest as we'll as for that of the public that
the building should be erected in the most
substantial manner. The investigation on
the part Of the committee was a very proper
one, as it is the duty of Councils to see that
the contractor does not slight his work, and
if the same vigilance was always shown, the
public interests would not suffer as they
sometimes do. The report of the commit go
gives an assurance that the work on the
House of Correction is being properly per-
formed, and that not only will we ere long
have an institution much needed but that it
will be constructed in an entirely satisfactory
manner,

phic news from the New York Associated Press
which consists OF the Tribune Times Herald,

success which has attended our enterprise is In
Itself, sufficient evidence OF the freshness, full

OPPOSITION TO THE NEW TREATY.
The parties to the treaty framed by the Joint
High Commission are the United States and
the United Kingdom, and their ratification,
only, is essential to the enforcement of all
its leading provisions. So far as this country
is concerned the treaty has been ratified
already, by the favorable action of the
Senate. So far as Great Britain is interested.
the ratification depends upon the
Queen, or her Privy Council.
which is practically the English Cabinet The
only essential requisite of its final ratification
is the formal agreement of Mr. Gladstone
and his associates to provisions which they
have assented to in advance. And the only
way in which the treaty can now be success
fully assailed is by such ferocious attack in
the British Parliament as would lead to
change in the Ministry or radical
change in the attitude of the present
Ministry. While this is true of the treaty as
whole, that document stipulstes that por-
ton of its provisions, relating exclusively to
questions affecting Canada, the fisheries, etc.,
shall not go into effect before appropriate
legislation is made by the American Con-
gress and by the Parliament of the Canadian
New Dominion, etc. Room is thus unavoid-
ably left for a little subordinate discussion,
and the Kanucks are trying to make
the most of it. Ben. Butler has
demonstrated that if the treaty is fully carried
out it will well-nigh ruin the Yankee fisher
men, while the Kanucks are working them
selves into the belief that their interests have
been sacrificed. OF the exact merits of this
war OF rival fishermen we are not apprised,
and it is not likely that the world will ascer-
tain exactly, or ever care to ascertain, whether
the Blue-noses or Ben. Butler proteges have
got the best of bargain which is probably
fair enough for all practical purposes to both
parties. The treaty will be a treaty in spite
of anything the Kanucks or Ben. Butler can
do or say.

TO Complete the Entire Road.
1t is believed that other railroad corporation in
the country has ever made so large an expenditure
from its own means before Offering any OF its secu-
rites to the public.
The Company now offer for sale the
Eight Per Cent. Mortgage Bonds
upon the Louisiana division of 226e1 mites from New
orleans to the Sabine River. This wfi brSHnbly be
the most valuable portion of the whole line it will
be the only rail communication, by which the enor.
nous productions of Texas can reach the Southern
metropolis.
so important is this road considered to Louisiana,
that the State has made very liberal grants In aid OF
the enterprise, by direct donations by endorsement
OF its bonds, aud by subscription the stock OF the
Company, amounting In all to over eight million
dollars.
The Bonds now offered are OF two classes:--
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS,
to the amount of s195OO per mile, and
SECOND MORTGAGE BONDS,
to an equal amount, both principal and interest
guaranteed by the State of Louisiana. The price of
the two classes is the same, and subscribers can
take their choice.
The Bonds are only In the denomination OF $1,000,
or e2Oo each, interest payable January and July, at
the rate of eight per cent currency In New York,
seven per cent gold Ia London at the option Of the
holder at the time each coupon Is due. Bonds can
be registered, II desired.
NO BETTER SECURITY HAS BEEN
OFFERED
to investors. The line is good and important one
and the stockholders have proved their determine
ton and ability to carry the work to early and
successful completion, by the very large amount
hey have themselves put into it.
The Bonds are largely profitable, as well as en-.
tirely safe. One thousand dollars invested In these
eight per cent bonds will give the purchaser more
than seUentyseuen per cent. greater annual interest
than the same amount invested in the new Govern.
ment Five Per Cents, into which the Government
Skies are being funded by the Secretary OF the
Treasury. II.
At the same price, an per cent. currency long
bond Is far cheaper than per cent. gold one.
Calculating return to specie payments in three
years. and taking the time that the bonds OF the New
orleans, Mobile, and Texas Railroad have to runs
years-we find that by compoundlng the interest Of
each, every six months, at per cent, an per
cent currency bond at 90 will give a return
of S2614'IS MORE than per cent. gold
bond at the same price, nearly three
times the amount of the original invest
ment.
While the purchaser OF the per cent. bonds OF
this company can realize this special profit he also
holds the option OF taking advantage OF any Tempo
rary advance in gold, as he has choice at every
separate coupon day. OF gold interest at per cent
or currency interest at per cent.
The Bonds are dated May l. 1871. The first cou-
pom WILL therefore, be fractional one, running
from May to July l. The price is 80, and accrued
interest at per cent. currency from May to date

ANOTHER GAME OF PLUMBER.

Immediately after Mr.. Dawes had ex-
posed the little game of plumber Chorpen-
ming was engineering through Congress,
the House passed bill even more out
rageous, involving as it did millions where
Chorpenning's involved only thousands.
This bill, to which Mr.. Dawes did not OBJ
ieCt, provides for the relief of certain
contractors who undertook to supply YES
sells of war and steam machinery to the
Government under the act of March 2,
1867, and who now claim that they have
not received enough money for their
work. OF course their profits only fell
short Of their expectations some three
million dollars. They are happy, how
ever, since the House of Representatives
has done the clever thing by them and
voted out of the treasury enough to make
up the deficit. An exchange, speaking
of this, says:
"Such q bill if passed under ordinary
circumstances, would be sure to attract
attention, and to be generally denounced
| by honest men throughout the country.
| The dust which Mr.. Dawes raised in the
wake of the Chorpenning claim-whiCh
is now passed and done with-was in
tended to blind the eyes of the public,
and to permit the house to pass the con-
tractors relief bill unquestioned. Here
after any display of virtue on the part
of Radical Representatives will be under
stood at its real worth, and sharp look
out will be kept for the job which is sure
to be in attendance. How many jobs
the Chorpenning exposure was intended
! to cover remains to be SEEN"

EGEN. BANKS asserted in the House of
Representatives on the 10th inst, that
naval engineers knew that the Tennessee
was not seaworthy, but dared not say so.
The Tennessee was built for the purpose
of chasing blockade runners, and was
originally called the Msdawaska. She
made trial trip in January, 1867, and
meeting with rough weather in the Gulf
Stream, was badly blown about, and
showed disposition to run beneath the
seas rather than ride over them,
Since then she has been reconstructed

Constitution. Nowhere in the section OF
the Constitution to which this law gives
effect, nor in the law itself, is any refer
erence made to the time, place or
manner of holding any election what
ever. The re-enactment snd revival OF
the portions of the Code named in the act,
could not give force and effect to the
section (S25) which designates 'the tirst
Thursday in August every second year"
as the time for holding elections for mem
bers of Congress, because such purpose is
not ERECTED in the caption or otherwise"
as required by the Constitution. The
fifth section of the "sct approved June
IS, $780," provides ''that alllsws in con
flict with this act are hereby repealed,
and the section of the Code providing for
electing Congressman clearly conflicts
with the purpose of this act as expressed
both in its title and body. The "act ap-
proved June 16, 1870" does not express
ly or by implication repeal the act OF
Feb. %, 1868, "to change and fix the
time of electing Representatives to the
Congress of the United States from the
State of Tennessee" and as that law
does not in any manner conflict with
the act of 1870, chapter 10, it is as much
the law to-day as it was the 2sth of Feb
ruary, 1868. The fact that this law was
not repealed by the Legislature, and that
no member of that body has ever been
heard to express an opinion that the law
fer electing members of Congress as laid
down in the Code had been revived, is
conclusive that that body regarded the
act of 1868 as in full force. The cleo
ton for members of Congress on the 9Th
of November, 1870, is not, therefore, q
