The New York 7'aJu.e Of the 4th
contains the following paragraph, which
il makes conspicuous by double-lcadiug:
1--WE understand that nearly fifty
millions Of the 100 loan, authorized al
the extra session of Congress, remain
untaken. That sum may bridge over
the yawnlng chasm, save the treasury
from stoppage OF payment, invi soraie
t g movements Of our armies, and rescue
the Unicn from ACKNOWLEDGMENT and
ruin. Is there not force of character
enough somewhere in the government to
make an electrltying appeal to the couns
try for an immediate taking up OF these
fifty millions by every man or woman
who has 500 or over to spare, and who
loves his country enough to lend it in
this crisis whatever he may? Men in
power do not drift hecdlessly, impo-
:ently upon bankruptcy without making
at least a show of effort to avoid it
Ask the people to stand by themselves"
That is right. 8" Ask the people to
stand by themselves :" 1t is their only
hope. They who have not patriotism
to loan the surplus funds-nay their
all to the Government, love money bet
tea than they do their country would
hang to their gold even though the key
stone of the grand Federal arch fell fol
the want of it. a fig for such patriot.
ism 1t would destroy the best govern.
ment upon the earth. "4Ask lie DeoDl,
to stand by themselves :" That is the
word, though the Tribune did saw it
Let the people come to realizing sens,
that the Constitution is in danger lc
them rally about it in conseryatiy,
strength; let a5olitionists and otbe
traitors who would see its provision,

dune remember It's own words, stand b,

TELRuRAPHrc FEAr.-Ibe feat OF tel
egraphing from Boston to Salt Lake
City was performed on Saturday night,
the operators at either end OF the wire
exchanging the compliments OF the sea-
son. The dispatch from Salt Lake was
dated e:35, and was received In Boston
at 1890. The route taken by the dis
patches was through Pis.sturg, Cincin'
patti, Chicago, St. Louis, and thence d.
rectly across the prsirics. The opera
tors at Omaha City and Salt Lake City
reported the weather very coid WIN
deep snow. An attempt was made TO
open communication with San Francis
CO. but i. failed, probably from the all
sence OF the operator. 1t was arranged
that direct communication should be al,
tempted last night between liailtax and
san Francisco.
