says he has no power to interdict nor suspend

rests with the War Department and Treasury
Department alone. and 80 long a. these depart

extends only to the protection of the revenues
of the Department from fraud, and the convey.

WHAT THE SOUTHERN NEaRoRs THINK OF
FRxnoSr.-It will be generally recollected that
shortly after the election in 1856, the Tennessee
papers gave accounts of a threatened insurrec-
ton among the slaves of a portion of the State,
and that the instruction was induced by the
supposition prevalent among the blacks that
Fremont was coming up the river backed BY 4
large army, for the purpose Of liberating all the
slaves. The exact details Of the extent of this
insurrectionary movement were never fully pub.
lished; but it was known that many slaves were
summarily tried and found guilty, some being
executed and others being sent further South.
From Northumberland sources, it is ascer.
tanned that the superstition of 1850 has been
revived; that the presence Of Fremont at the
head of the Western forces lie already known to
the negroes, and that his appearance 10 hailed As
sure precursor of their liberation. This feel.
ing has spread rapidly within the last month.
and it is attracting great attention and exciting
much alarm among the whites of those districts
where there is large proportion Of slaves
Ny informant assures me that once the name of
Fremont is connected with any victory over the
rebels, or that he is known to be in the State Of
Tennessee or Mississippi, the negroes will at
once rise in rebellion. Il is said that the fear of
this danger at their own thresholds induced the
rebels 10 take the offensive in Missouri, and to
keep the battlefield as far as possible from the
eager and watching negroes.

Hon. CEARLEs MAsoN.-Hon. Charles Mason
has accepted the nomination of the Mahoney
convention for Governor of this State, in a let
ter to Hahoney's paper, the Dubuque Herald,
which most of our readers have doubtless read,
or ought to read, if they have not. 1t lie the of.
fetal rescript of Hon. Charles Mason, candidate
for Governor, and sets forth no doubt truly, the
views of that gentleman in relation to questions
Of very great Importance.
There are those among our older citizens we
are told, who have been in the habit of regard.
ing Judge Mason as great man, or at least, an
honest one. What this has proceeded from we
cannot say, unless the impression had its origin
in early times when the population of the State
was small and great men limited. 1t is possible
that but for this unfortunate nomination, Judge
Mason might have continued to float along the
tide Of events in the enjoyment of fair reputa.
ton for wisdom and sagacity, but like the unfor-
tunate man who was taken by Colerdge to be
wise until he opened his mouth, so Judge Mason,
in this letter to Mahoney, has dispelled the ilu.
sion of the people of Iowa, in relation to him.
for we venture to say that more foolish mess
of stuff never emanated from Democratic Office
seeker, even in Iowa. 1t may be worthy Of
Judge Mason, but is disgrace to such man as
Judge Mason has been taken to be by some.

Our sister city, Monmouth, Warren county

THl DEBTS OF THE UNIFIED SrArEs-The new
stocks of the United States, like their prede.
cessors of 1915, ls42 and ls4s, will unquestion
ably find their level abroad, as at home. This
Government began in 1889, with Revolution
airy debt of 81, 468,476. Before the war of
1872, it was reduced, BY anticipation of princi.
pal, to $45, 209,7S That war ran up this bal,
snce to $l27,334,9s4 in 1916. The public debt
thus enlarged took the form, 50 considerable
extent, Of : three per cent stock, which gradu-
ally found its way to Europe, and the interest
on which was paid ip London. It was with OK.
treme difficulty that the Government could in.
duce the surrender of these three per cents bv
the british aristocracy" and other European
holders in l63O-32. But the last dollar was
paid off. The remnant of the public debt in
1895 was less than f6O, OO0-($87,5l3.) A psb.
lie stock Of one hundred and twenty .seven mil.
lions, made irredeemable except at the option of
the Government. was paid OF in less than tven
ty years. In 1912, the Government wanted Eve
millions to supply deficiencies in the Treasury.
An agent went to England, where the money
lenders, under such advice as the London Times
now volunteers, refused to take tho loan at par.
1t was taken, undar pressure, at home, and a
few years thereafter resold in London at ITO per
cent. The Mexican war loan of ls4s found
but partial and most reluctant countenance in
London 1t could not at FIRST DO placed at par.
but n few years thereafter the equivalent Of
ll09ll5 per cent was paid in London and on
the continent, and the buyers found their profit
in it, as in a few years the Government itself
bought it in at l2o@lal per cent The whole
public debt in 1852, by reason Of the Mexican
war, concluded in lS4S, and the Texas indemni
ty, was Up to $76,0s5,2l6. In three wears
thereafter the Government had redeemed by
