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
be above the lowest Of all the land grants
which is but &2.70 the Kansas Pacific Road, still
this low figure for the 900 held to redeem
each s50,000 Of bonds, there would be a surplus OF
$7,5oo over the amount of bonds that can be issued
on each mile of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
During the month of December the Northern
Pacific Railroad 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 Goo
miles OF road in operation at the close of 1871.
As the U. 8. Government is now calling in tn
Fve-Twenties, holders of these can convert them
into Northern Pacific Bonds and thereby IN
CREASE THEIR INCOME MORE THAN SO 1-3
PER CT. At the present time good proportion

FiveTwenties and we notice that the Boston Jour.
nal in its monetary article of Nov. 18th, says
"Hoders (of Five Twentes of 1852 are either real
izng upon them, or exchanging them into other ls-
sues-often into railroad bonds-the Northern Pa.
cac Seven Thirtes favorites for reinvestment."
First Mortgage Bond any Trunk Line of railroad
is the safest and least Auctuatng security known.
This is manifest in one quite marked instance, as
in the huctuation of the First Mortgage Bonds
Of the Michigan Central Railroad, which fell but
per cent. In the late financial panic while the
U. S. FiveTwenties and Skies Of 1881 huctuated
two or three per cent. and here the Michigan Cen.
trail Railroad had met with the greatest loss could

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

crease their income, WE WOULD RECON-.

THE BEST AND SAFEST RAILROAD

Mr.. Summers resolve to Investigate the

Mr.. Summers resolve to investigate the
sale of arms to France appears to have no
better foundation than an effor. to damage
the President. The allegation in the pre-
amble that there is a discrepancy between
the accounts of the War Department,
and the Treasury Department upon
which fraud was expected to be proved,
has been shown in the debate to have no
ground to rest upon, and there is little
doubt that the charge against the govern
ment of infraction of the neutrality laws
is equally as baseless rs the other. There
is strong suspicion that Mr. Sumner has
been imposed upon by the shrewdness of
the French agent, and has been used to
further other designs than those which
appear on the surface
The Calais Advertiser of last week had
an able article opposing the one-term
principle in regard to the election of Pres
ident of the United States The writer in
the Advertiser strikes hard blow at the
theory of Mr. Sumner urged at this time
to prevent the denomination of Grant and
ColfaX.

An ADNnssIoN.-Geu. Butler, in his
western campaign, made this argument
in favor Of continuing the Grant Ad
ministration in power, viz
That the official thieves, being now
gorged with plumber, may not feel in.

This, at least, is an admission Of the
corruption of the present Administra.

and as often denied by the Radicals.

Tho Horse Disease

The horse disease, called epizootic +,

disease among men, is travelling from

its appearance and Increase 10 Buffalo,
Rochester, Bos on, New YORK city, aud
Brooklyn. In Buffalo many branches
of business are entirely suspended for
want of animals for transportation, aud

men are becoming seriously alarmed.
The Rochester On W Union, speak.
ing of the disease and remedy, says
that il is chiefly confined to stables
where a considerable number Of horses
are consregaled, though it bers OF
isolated cases. 1t is gratifying to state
TINT but very few horses have died,
aud the attacks 10 many cases are
mild Different methods of treatment
are adopted, but as yet il is difficult TO
say what particular method is best.
The disease is catarrhal in character,
aud affects tho head aud lungs When
the animal shows the symptoms Of i'll
ness, to give it a rest aud protection
from cold, by blankets and comforla

ing hot bran mashes teuds to keep the
system open, which is also rational.
Keeping the mouth and nostrils clear
of foul matter discharged from the
head, by spongiBg, is regarded with
favor. Some resort TO s,eaming the
head Of the animal, and appear to be
tolerably successful. Others protest
against this treatment 1t has been
rcsortcd to in the street railway sta
bles, and it is claimed that horses have
been relieved thereby. All seem to
concur in the opinion that the sick
horse should have absolute rest, A
thorough cleansing Of stables by dco
deriving is commended by all.

A COMPLETE VINDIcATIoN. The
charge of criminal intercourse preferred
against the Rev Henry Matthews, Of
the Presbyterian Church, now of Ran
dallstown, Baltimore county, formerly
Of Elkton, Nd. by mulatto servant
girl named Maria Salisbury, who lived
three years in his family, has been
thoroughly and impartially investigated
BY the New Castle Prcsbytery, with the
view Of eliciting the truth, and the re.
suit is most triumphant yindication Of
the Reverend gentleman against the
foul aspersion. We looked for no other
result, from the time this base SANDER
first appeared in print. We have
known Mr.. Matthews, intimately, from
the beginning Of his residence in Elk
ton. lie resided directly opposite our
Own domicil, and we Ind opportunities
of daily intercourse, aud we say, en-
phatically, that we have never known
more consistent, exemplary, pure mind
ed christian gentleman. His daily
walk and conversation we're continual
denial Of so base cslumny. Should
the word Of lewd girl be permitted
to have any weight against the living
protest Of life Of virtue, and Of earn
est, jealous devotion to the duties of
the Christian ministry? If so, no man
is safe from so foul an aspersion. The
peace Of every family ia the land, and
the good name Of every man may be
destroyed By any dissolute woman who
chooses TO utter her ISLANDERS against
him. In this case, the girl has contra
dicted herself SO often, as to deprive
her statements Of all semblance of
truth.
A false charge Of this Kind against
The honor and peace Of virtuous fam
ily, is worse than the crime of murder,
ind the publisher Of it can only be
iiewed iu the light Of an accessory,
Inless be had such reasonable evidence |
3 to induce belief Of its truth.

AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY
Every Democrat who fails to vote the
electoral ticket nominated by his party,
thereby gives aid and comfort to the
enemy, aud the Grant men rejoice ever
all such. Remember, Democrats, that
these same Grant men would not let
you vote at all, few years ago, and
drove many of you from lls polls,
They are doing their best to keep you
from the polls now, by publishing the
sayings of Horace Greeley through the
Tribune, against the Democrats in 9th
er days. Remember, this is one of the
tricks Of the Grant men to deprive
Greeley Of your yote-.wLiLa' of course
would make Guut relatively stronger.
If they can accomplish their purpose,
they will deride aud insult you and ex.
ult over you afterwards. Disappoint
them. Stick to Jour party Vote the
party ticket, aud in this way maintain
the Democratic organization. II they
can break down the Democratic party,
they viii ride rough shod over you,
here il Maryland, as they have done
over tho Democrats ia North Carolina
and other States subject to Radical
domination. All they want is to get
you in their power, aud they will not
fail to make use Of il. Trust them
not, but go to the polls and vote the
whole ticket. That is the only safe
course.
