The bids for the new issue Of Treasury Notes
were opened at Washington yesterday and
scarcely half of the $4,000, 900 required were
bid for at all, and this amount at rates of inter
eat ranging from six to hiriy-sir per cent Only
$3.50, 900 in all WINS bid for at rates ranging
below twelve per cent, though some $4,000, 900
in all are kindly offered to the Government at
that accommodating figure. We learn that no
bids above that amount will be accepted.
This failure is most sautary. The Govern
ment has Skinned till shining is "played out"
1t must now face the music and tax, as it ought
to have done long ago. Its loan and shinplaster
operations throughout the last three years have
been right in the teeth Of all sound principles Of
Finance. The Disunionists have stripped the
ship of State naked to her timbers preparatory to
wreciing her. Now let the men who mean TO
stand by hor insfst on prompt reversal of this
policy. Let as Fave an efficient Tariff at once,
and no more borrowing-not the frat dollar.
Even the most hardened reprobate thinks Of
repentance when his power to sin has left him.

WHAT DID THE DEMocRArrc PARTY DIS
orl--The journals Of the country are hold
ing a post.mortem examination over the
Democratic party. All Sorts OF opinions
are expressed as TO the death. The verdict
Of the majority appears to be "died Of Doug
las" One journal thinks, however that IL
died of the nineteenth century; another
says it died oil old age and general imbecil-
ity. A very religious paper suggests that 1t
died OF visitation from God-for its mani.
fold sins. A Yankee says "the little giant
sot on it, and killed it," A wsg insinua tes
that it fell loft the platform and broke it's
neck. Southerner says that It was
strangle1 while trring to swallow Squattcr
Sovereignty. A Northerner declares that
its insdes were burnt out by an injudicious
attempt at fre.eating. A lawyer says it
died of the Dred Scott decision. A dele
gate to Charleston says it become insolyent
owing to the hotel extortions Of that city,
and conc luded to commit suicide Another
delegate to the Convention says they went
to Charleston with the motto, "Douglas or
DEATH" and as they couldn't get Douglas
they had to "kick the bucket" as matter
Of course.

This is instrument is semi circular plate, with q
needlebox attached to the diameter and the circua
edge graduated in degrees; and there being q nova
BILE limb or adade attached to the centre of the plate
with verniers at both ends the bearing of line can
be read for any number of degrees minutes
The plate is so divided to FORM with the scale Of
the alldade traverse table of lines instead of
bers which gives at once the latitude and departure
of any course and distance run.
The table answers the same purpose for ascertain.
ing heights and distances the required distance is
read from the plate without the trouble of referring
to the lOgarithmic tables.
1t gives the horizontal measurement of the lines OF
survey and where there is local attraction the lines
be traced independent of the needle there being
two pair of sights enabling the surveyor,to form at
once the angle required by the bearings of the
ses.
The variation of an old line is easily calculated on
it, and for such work as leveling for millraces or
draining land, it answers every purpose of the level
There is an attachment for solving oblique TRAN
gles which gives the base and perpendicular of the
Triangle from which the area be ascertained very
readily and it also gives the bearing and distance Of
the closing line in division of land
The instrument can be used with either the sights
or telescope.
