THE NORTHWEST.

FHE real interest that exists among the
citizens of Philadelphia with regard to the
great project for the development of our
northwestern territory by means of the
Northern Pacific Railroad was shown last
night by the large and enthusiastic audience
which assembled at the Academy OF Music to
listen to Judge Kelley's address. Twenty-six
years ago, as Judge Kelley showed in his very
interesting account of the early movements
in favor of great Northern Pacific Railroad
which would make the shortest possible cut
across the continent, and connect with the
shortest route to China and Japan, it was
almost impossible to obtain even hearing
for such project. The most practical men
declared that it was chimerical, and while
admitting the vast mineral and other
wealth of the great Northwest, insisted that
it was unfit for occupation by civilized men
on account of it's climate, its topography,
and the character of its soil. The attention
of Judge Kelley was called to the true cha,
racter of this important bat neglected por-
tion OF our national domain by Asa Whit
ney, Esq, of New York, who, after an ex
haustive investigation, was strongly impressed
with the idea that it was the proper route fo
a great transcontinental road, and that it wa
destined. ere a great many Years, to becomi
one Of the wealthiest and most populous por

down, and mere folks, dwelIers in pretended
free country, have only to obey end to de-
liver up their youngest and fairest to the
dread bymeneal ban. For ourselves, we are
not so blinded by the glory of the prospect
but that we can see one or two things clearly
still. That it is dazzlerw we will not deny.
There is probably not an unmarried man in
Che Fifth ward Gin which The TE1.EeRApH is
printed, and not to extend the proposition
indefinitely who would not to-day, and
joyfully, accept the Princess Cand fix
ings) if he could get the chance.
But there are a few things that
stand out clear and bold, to be set to the per
contra of the account. In the first place,
Fred, you must remember that, should you
marry the Princess, you can never have any
private business, and that yoa, cannot
occupy yourself in any of those FREQ and easy
ways which Royal American affects Then,
do you fully realize what it will be to have
Queen for motheT-in-law? Queens are well
enough on the stage or in story books, but
are they comfortable things to have stalking
about house at all hours, with their crowns
on, and making everybody they meet sons
in-law included, walk off backward? We ask
if they areP And we fear that they are not.
The mildest hammered of mothers-in-law
have been declared nuisances by the univer-
sal voice of philosophers and moralists, and
what shall we say of royalty in that unassailL
able position? Look to it, young Fred, be-
fore it is too late. Take one lamentable
scene only, which is certain 10 occur if you
marry little Beatrice. The honeymoon well
over, you are enjoying comfortable eve
ming (as who will not who has a
heart and not potato in his bosom) with a
few old bachelor friends. The boys think it
early yet, and SO do you, but, after one of the
very best stories you ever heard, you look up,
and there, ''all in a ghastly glimmer, stands
the Queen, with her crown en-, and all COM
plete. The boys all commence to make low
bows and to back out of the room. 81 am
astonished at you, Frederick your mother
in-law says-''the Princess has been in bed
these three hours, and these persons are not
gone yet" We will spare you the rest, merely
stating that before the ldlady has finished
she has effectually disturbed the festivities
That is all we meant to say, Fred. 1t is very
nice to marry princess, but remember! yoa
will never be your own man while the old
woman is about. Think over it we'll before
you go in.

THE NOMINATING CONVENTIONS.
The action of thousands of the Republicans
of Philadelphia at the October election will
be controlled by the character of the nomina-
tions made by the delegates who are to be
elected to-day. The responsibility of sue
cess or defeat rests with those who exer-
else an overpowering influence over these
preliminary partisan proceedings The day
has gone by when blind devotion to ticket
because it is ticket can array in solid mass
all the friends of Republican principles in sup
port of unworthy, disreputable, and dis
honest candidates for local offices. The bet
ter Judgment of prudent and patriotic citizens
demands, as a condition of their support, that
aspirants shall be at least reasonably we'll
qualified to fill the stations to which they as
pire and that they shall possess untarnished
regulations. The Republican delegates of
each and all of the conventions will have no
serious difficulty in complying with this con-
dition, if they are animated by pure motives
and controlled by sincere regard for the
welfare of the party of which they are tenn
porary representatives. If, in the list of
those who have actively canvassed, election
eered, and intrigued for the respective offices,
first-rate men cannot readily be found, the
delegates have an abundance of material to
select from in the thousands of capable and
trustworthy Republicans who are not seeking
Office, but who are willing and well qualified
to perform any required service for their fell
low-citizens. Nothing would do more to en-
sure Republican ascendancy in October next,
and for years to come, than the formation of
a completely unexceptionable ticket, while
nothing will do more to weaken the party
now and hereafter than the nomination
of inferior and Objectionable candidates.
The only legitimate object of partisan organi-
cations is to secure good government; and
when, instead of serving this end, their influ-
ence is exerted for the iniquitous purpose of
quartering extortioners upon public treasu-
ries, of sending low-browed bribe-seekers to
legislatures, of filling Council chambers with
ignorant and selfish jobbers, of putting
robbers into Row offices, and of converting
the whole official machinery into an engine of
fraud and oppression, honest and intelligent
voters are forced to seek redress by disrupt
ing their old party ties and seeking new asso-
Citations. The Republican nominating conven-
tions are about to determine how great ne
cessity for such a remedy will be forced upon
the Republicans of Philadelphia; and in the
face of this responsibility, let them beware oi
slaughtering the cause of liberty and unior
in the house of its professed friends.

AT the meeting Saturday night which
was called to consider a subject in which
every citizen of Philadelphia is supposed to
have direct interest, only about three hun
dred and fifty to four hundred persons, in
cluding the property-holders in whose behalf
the anti-Penn Square agitation has been car
ried on, could be gathered together. Last
night over thirty-fve hundred persons
assembled in the same building
to listen to an address from
Judge Kelley in reference to the develop
ment of territory several thousand miles from
Philadelphia. In view of these facts, it may
not be impertinent to ask whether the people
of this city are more interested in affairs at
Puget Sound than they are in those at home !?
or whether they are impressed with the fact
that the opposition to the erection of the
public buildings upon the site chosen by the
people is without merit, and is conducted
solely with view to put money in the
pockets of certain owners of real estate in the
vicinity of Sixth an Chestnut streets?

TO Complete the Entire Road.

TO Complete the Entire Road.
It is believed that no other railroad corporation in
the country has over mace SO large an expenditure
from its own means before Offering any OF Its Becu
rites to the public.
The Company now offer for sale tho
Eight Per Cent. Mortgage Bonds
upon the Louisiana divsionof 22esS miles from New
orleans to the Sabine River. This will probablyb be
the most valuable portion OF the whole line, as 1t will
be the only rail communication by which the nor
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 and by subscription to the stock of the
Company, amounting in all TO over eight millson
dollars.
The Bonds now ofered are OF two classes:-
FIRST MoRTGAsE BONDS,
to the amount of s12, 500 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,
e2O0 each, interest payable January and July, at
the rate of eight per cent currency in New York,
per cent gold in LONDON ct the option OF the
holder, at the time each coupon is DUE Bonds can
be registered, If desired.
NO BETTER SECURITY HAS BEEN
OFFERED
to investors. The line is good aud important one
and the stockholders have proved their determina-
t{a,a 1ahi1, ~,
successful completion, by the very large amount
they Rave themselves put into it.
The Bonds are largely profitable, as we'll as en-
tirely safe One thousand dollars invested In these
eight per cent. bonds will give the purchaser more
than seuetyseuen per cent greater annual interest
than the same amount invested in the new Govern
mentFive Per Cents, into which the Government
Skies are being funded by the Secretary OF the
Treasury.
At the same price, an sper cent currency long
bond is far cheaper than q per cent gold one.
Calculating q 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 compounding the interest Of
each, every six months, at per cent? an per
cent currency bond at 80 will give a return
of S2614.ls MORE than per cent. gold
bond at the san0 price, or nearly three
times the amount Of the original invest
ment.
this company realize tits 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 /, ISL The Arst cou-
pom WILL therefore, be a fractional one, running
from May to July /. The price is 30, and accrued
interest at per cent. currency from May to date
OF remittance.
