We get report Of an almost incredible piece Of
meanness on the part OF policeman in Philadelphia
Mr. John Moran sent to us for 1000 copies of Mr.
Summers speech, and we forwarded them to him.
Mr. Moran taking his place, according to The Post
upon wide pavement, and in front of an unocou-
pied store on Chesnut-st" offered his speeches for
sale Upon this policeman, who said that he
was "obeying orders ordered Mr.. Moran to stop
selling that thing, aud advised him to burn the
copies which he had on hand. We are not surprised
to learn as we do from The A0e, that the Phlladel
phia Police in the Fourth District worked hard TO
elect tho Grant candidate )" but when The age asks
under which of the bayonet laws this outrage was
committed, we confess ourselves unable to answer.
We know that by the terms Of the Constitution the
President is Commandcr-in-Chief of the Army and
Navy; but how long is it since he assumed command
of the Police of Philadelphia And through whom
were the Executive orders for the suppression OF Mr.
Summers speech in Philadelphia givenf Does the
worshipful Mayor Of that city also belong to the
President Perhaps the attempt will presently be
made to suppress the sale Of THE TRIBUNE itself by
general orders The effort will be failure, butthen
the Administration is used to failures.

Political interest for the present week will
center largely in the actions of the Demo
cratic Conventions Of Georgia, Mississippi,
New-Jersey, and Illinois, to be held on Wednes-
day, and of Virginia and Ohio, to be held on
Thursday More attention has been directed
10 the Georgia Convention than to any other; ;
and it is certain that Mr.. Toombs and Mr.. Ste
phens will make vigorous protest against
any action looking to the Endorsement of the
Cincinnati platform and ticket at Baltimore
Judge billiard, Dir. Hill, and others equally

MARCH INVESTMENTS.
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD BONDS.


BANKING HOUSE OF JAY COOKE ~ Co.
The rapid progress of the NORTHERN PACIFIC
RAILROAD toward completion is shown in the
fact that to the Missouri River the road is under
contract to DO finished during the present year.
This will give to its bondhoders lien upon
millions of acres of the finest land in the country
besides their mortgage on the ROAD and its earn
ings, thus making dOubly secure tho investment,
which, in all its features is one of the safest and
most reliable next to the Government loans. The
redemption Of 5-20s by the Treasury indicates low
rates of interest to the public creditors hereafter
and as Si0OO00O0 more called in for March, We
strongly recommend to the holders thereof imne-
date exchange for the $50 GOLD BONDS of the
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.
They are free of u. s. Tax, and are issued in the
following denominations Coupons, $780, $500, and
$1,000; Registered 800, $500, $1,000, $1,000, and
$4,000.
The Bonds, which are being rapidly sold, are Sc
cured by II first and only mortgage two
thousand miles of road with rolling stock buildings
and all other equipments, and on over TWENTY
THREE THOUSAND ACRES of Land to every mile OF
finished road. This hnd-agricultural, timbered.
and mineral, amounting in oil to more than Fifty
Million Acresconsists of alternate sections reach
ing twenty to forty miles on each side of the track,
and extending in broad, fertile belt from Wscon-
sin through the richest portions of Minnesota,
Dakota. Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington,
to Puget Sound.
All marketable securities received in exchange.

Limited to $4,000 per mile on finished road
The rapid progress toward comp etion Of this great
Trunk Line from New-YOrk to the West and Ia
Canada enables us TO offer to investors at par and
interest a further limited issue Of these faVOnte So
curities.
Upward of $40 miles of this road. including the
w-Jersey section, are already finished equipped
and in operation and contracts with responsible
parties have been made for its entire completion by
the first day of July next. When this shall have
been accomplished it's earnings cannot fail to be
large and highly remunerative, as 1t has advantages
at least equal to those of any of its competitors for
both local and through business. 1t is building for
cash. of which nearly SSOO0OOO hare been furnished BY
subscription 10 is stock at PAR. The work is substan.
tial, and including equipment, has not exceeded in
cost $4,000 per mile, which is less than oneird Of
the amount at which some Of the trunk lines of
roads leading from NewYork are capitalized, and on
which they are paying good dividends.
In view Of these facts the Midland lst Mortgage

quite as safe as Governments and, by making the
