The CHARACTER of the Land Grant of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, as a whole, is
readily acknowledged by all persons acquainted
with the different Grants, to be SUPERIOR TO
THAT OF ANY OTHER ROAD; but even if the
average price per of its land sales should not
be above the lowest average of all the land grants
which is but $40 on the Kansas Pacific Road, still
at this low figure for the 900 held to redeem
each $4,000 of bonds, there would be surplus OF
eli 500 the amount of bonds that can be issued
on each mile ofthe Northern Pacific Railroad
During the month of December the Northern
Pacific Railroad was opened for passengers and
freight to the Red River of the North the eastern
boundary of Dakota Territory-this, with the com.
pleted road of the Pacific slope, and the st. Paul
and Pacific branches of 2Ss miles makes nearly COO
miles of road in operation at the close of 1871.
AS the U. S. Government is now calling in the
Fve-Twenties, holders of these can convert them
into Northern Pacific Bonds, and thereby IN
CREASE THEIR INCOME MORE THAN 80 l-3
PER CT. At the present time good proportion
of the sales of n r. Bonds by the conversion Of
Five-Twentes, and we notice that the Boston Jour-
nal in its monetary article of Nov. 18th, says
"Holders (of Five Twenties of 1862 are either real

sues-often into railroad bonds-the Northern Pa.

The Chicago disaster fully demonstrated that
| First Mortgage Bond on any Trunk Line ofraroad
is the safest and least huctuating security known
This is manifest in one quite marked instance, as
seen in the ductuation of the First Mortgage Bonds
of the Michigan Central Railroad, which fell but
one per cent. in the late financial panic while the
U. s. Five-Twenties and Skies of 1881 nuctuated
two or three per cent; and here the Michigan Cen.

The New York Daily Bulletin, which gives the au
thentic reports of the Stock Exchange in its issue
of the 18th of October, after the Chicago fire. says
"Railroad Bonds have stood the shock better than
any other class of securities" and again. October
18th, says: RAILROAD Bonds steadier than any
other class of securities"

also holders of Government Bonds wishing to in.
crease their income, WE WOULD RECON-.
MEND THE NORTHERN PACIFIC SEW

THE BEST AND SAFEST RAILROAD
SECURITIES NOW OFFERED TO THE

We recommend this bond for the reason that it is
GROUNDED UPON A LANDED REAL

Row the Jury Hung on the Trial or
Mayor HnII-Mrs. Gree1ey's Funeral.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-Some new facts have
transpired in relation to the deliberations Of the
jury empanelled to try Mayor HALL After the jury
men had discussed the evidence given for the
prosecution, one Of the members said the case
was instituted to make capital for the RepubG-
can party and the Committee Of Seventy, and
that Mr.. Peckham and 1lr. Tremain would be
well paid for their services. Another juryman
eaid that hlr. Tremain WAS trying to make his
present efforts in the trial stepping stone
to Congress. This: statement was denied
by several jurymen, who denounced Mayor Hall
as member Of Tammany, and party lines were
soon drawn between the jury, which =. VAS seven
Republicans and five Democrats. The Demo-
Gratis contended that no testimony had been
given showing that Hall had guilty knowledge
Of the frauds, and the Republican jurymen re-
piled that he WAS member Of the Ring, and
lasted nearly all night and part Of this morn
ing, with no prospect OF an agreement. When
tho jury came into court, the seven Republicans
were in favor Of conviction, and the FIVE Dem

CONTEMPLATED RADICAL FRAUDS IN THIS
STATE.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Nov. IA scheme, by
which it is supposed the GRANTEES hope to rob a
large element Of the foreign-born population Of
their right to vote at the coming election, has
just come to Light, through correspondence re-
ceiyed in this city. The judges in the Grant
interest are putting construction On the Goth
section Of the Election laW which would rob all
foreign-born citizens naturalized aince 1870 Of
their votes. Section 65 says every
tie county ninety days, and IL the election dis
t1ict thirty days next preceding. any election
therein, everyone who Was an elector in this
State on the 1st day Of April in the year OF
our Lord 1848, or obtained a certificate Of natur-
prior to the LIST day Of January, 1870, Or Who
shall be male citizen OF the
entitled to Q vote at such election. They base
their objections to the vote upon the second
clause of the section, and contend that il for
eign- born citizen is challenged he must swear
that be obtained his naturalization papers prior
to January, 1870. This section is exactly like
the section in the new constitution, prescribing
pared With q view Of legalizing natural
before that time, had been issued
By. County Courts, -. and which were
believed by many to be Illegal. The clause Of
the section is so broad that the technical point
will not avail against it. Under that clause any
male citizen Of the United States, whether nat
ura1ized OF native born, and no matter when he
may have been naturalized it he has nsturaliza-
ton papers, he is citizen Of the United States,
and has the right to vote if he has lived in the
State one year, in the county ninety days, and in
the election district thirty days. The absurdity
OF the proposition ia 30 apparent that it can
hardly be entertained.

Aside from the question whether such an issue
is legal, it has been understood to be the index-
ible policy Of the Secretary of the Treasury to
contract rather than expand the greenback cir
culation. The f1ood-gates have now been open

expected to prevail, until 1t is definitely known
