Reporter-DOes this estimate deduct
anything for the cost of collecting the rev.
enue of 1876?
| Treasurer MOTTOw-NO; if deducted, It
would leave, instead Ofa surplus, an actual
deficit. The estimate also takes it for
granted that the entire levy Of 1875 can be
collected i'm time to pay the January inter-
est, as we'll as the S61S,SS4 of arrearageS-
neither of which things can be accom-
plished in any possible way. The entire
collections from July TO January ], 1876,
cannot possibly amount TO S70O,OOO, and of
this twOthirds Will be in warrants.
From the statement have made you see
that it would have been almost a blunder
TO borrow money 10 pay July interest and
fail in January, and that failure in JanI-
aTy next was a certainty. Had our COL
lateralS been accepted for July loan, they
could not have been released for the de-
mands of next January; and having no col
laterals, no collections and no cash, a de-
fault would be bound to occur.
RepOrter-DO you believe we can
possibly pay out with a forty cents tax?
Treasurer Morrow-NO. For one, take
no blame TO myself for the present dis
graceful state of affairs. l said to the
Legislature of 1873, as well as Of 1875, that
a forty cents tax would not answer, with
out the ability TO cover all deficits by loans;
but the members who passed the funding
law demonstrated to their Own satisfaction
that it was more than sufficient. Il paid
the July, 1874, interest, by laying aside
every dollar until a suficiency accumu-
lated. 1t utterly failed when January,
1879, came, and a loan was successfully
negotiated. In July, 70, we failed to Dor
row, and the result is before the people Of
the country.
Here the interview terminated.

For The Agis and Intelligence
A Wicked Humbug.

Mr.. EDITOR: The foolish, wicked humbug-
gerry of spiritualism that is now rampant in
many parts of our country, cannot be too Sc
verely censurcd. The absurd, foolish idea, if
entertained, strikes at the very foundation of
the Christian religion, is calculated to destroy
the fond hopes of the Christian and to Danish
the idea of the blissful realms of Paradise. For
according to the dogmas taught by this evil fac
ton, the spirits of our dear departed friends, in
stead of being in Heaven with our blessed Sa-
viour, are floating about this mundane sphere,
ready TO attend any seance of fools who are
silly enough to visit q circle and Join hands
with the rascally wire-pullers who are deceiying
them; or to materialize like the charming
Katie King, who appears at their seances and
softly and sweetly presses her warm cherry lips
to those of some good-looking young man,
gives him sweet, cherubic kiss and then dis
solves in the surrounding darkness into thin
air, reminding one of the ghost of the cowled
monk who fell into the arms of Don Juan, and
almost smothered the amorous hero with warm,
sweet kisses. Such tom-foolcry might do for
benighted Noodoo savage Africa, but l am
ashamed to think that intelligent Americans
should be deceived by such shallow piece of
wicked fraud, and it is the bounden duty of ev
cry Christian TO frown down any such anti
Christian and ungodly ism. MARS.

Benefits of a Railroad.


The opening of railroad through any
section OF country has wonderful influence
in creating business and making things lively
generally. Especially is this true when the
road Is built through one ofthe older sections
OF country The West Chester Record calls
attention to the improvements on the Perkio-
men branch If the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad, which runs 90 miles in Montgom-
cry county Since in 1868, when it went into
operation, the following improvements have
been made: Five post-offices have been es-
tablished, four county bridges erected over
the Perkiomen, seventeen coal and lime yards,
five feed stores, six lumber yards, with large
number ofminor establishments.
Let the citizens of Baltimore and Hartford
counties read and ponder the above. In the
face of truths here given, why is it that our
people are So slow to properly appreciate the
great benefits that will surely accrue TO them
through the building of steam railways
The outlay may be great at first, but look at
the advantages that are sure TO follow. The
Maryland and Pennsylvania road, which is
intended to run through this and the adjoin-
ing county of Hartford, languishes TO some
