PERSONAL.
The N. Y. Times gravely and officially denies
the report Of Gov. Spragues marriage with the
daughter Of one Secretary, and announces bis be-
trotha to the daughter Of another Secretary. 1t
is almost unnecessary to state that the wbde
paragraph, as well a. that upon which il CON-
ments, lie the idle.t gossip, without the slightest
foundation in fact the simple truth is, that these
gentlemen telegraphers, thinking that if they
we're unmarried women they should regard
rich Governor as q valuable matrimonial aequisi-
ton, logically inter that the young ladies' whose
names they have dragged before the public hold
tho same views.

II. 1t was preceded, but not followed
by outragcs on the whites.
III. As soon as peace allowed, the
emancpated slaves were found to be
quiet Industrious, and easily managed
laborers, even under their old masters.
". Their organization was the work
of Que of their own number, and resulted
in an unheard Of prosperity.
Y. The subsequent determination of
the whites was retaliation for the brutal
outrages of Lcclerc, Rochambeau, and
the other generals of the First Consul,
and in no sense n legitimate result of
emancipation.
Has the story no lesson for Us :? Shall
we wait until insafreetion and despair
force us to free the slaves, when perhaps
it will be too late to control and organ-
ize them; or shall We now seize the golden
moment to do an act Of tardy justice, and
at the same time end this costly and thus
far inglorious war? Shall we be added

Heaven help the man who imagines

you more for turning your coat every day
to match the color of theirs. Wear your
own colors, spite of wind or weather,

SECRETARY CHASE AND THE BANKS
The monetary article (Saturday's) Of the
New y ork World says:
"The associate bank managers met to-
day in the American Exchange Bank, at
| O'Clock, and after a protracted discus
sion of the subject of national finances,
at length confirmed the plan Recommend
ed by the Loan Committee. The associ-
ate banks have thus agreed to take at
once $5o,000,000 of United States bonds,
to bear interest from to-day, at price
which shall net them seven per cent. per
annum interest, or about 90 II for the
six per cent. bonds The banks also
have the option or refusal of the remain
ing s50,000,000 of I $40 Treasury notes
extended from Dec to Jan. /. Great
unanimity of purpose prevailed at the
meeting, and the chief difference III
opinion respecting the twenty years bonds
was as regards the expedicncy Of issuing
them in sterling Or interest payable i'll
London. But this suggestion was finally
withdrawn by those who proposed it, and
it was agreed, without Il dissentient opin-
ion, that the true interests Of the United
States imperatiyely demanded that we
should raise here all the money required
for the Government without recourse to
foreign capitalists During part Of the
time of meeting Mr. Chase was present,
and, in speech OF some length, gare rery
StroAg and painted assurances that the
G0rerRn2e0t mr. yaw their 1cay clearly to
