Some time ago we published an article
showing up the error which widely pre-
walls Of computing the depreciation Of Ps-
DER money by calling the discount the
same as the premium on gold. We see that
an influential Western exchange, in speak
ing Of the rise Of gold to 2 cents premi-
urn, says paper money is worth only 70
cents on the dollar, being at discount OFF,
per cent. The real discount is Al 22-l00
per cent. which would make paper money
worth 58 7s-1O0 cents on the dollar. The
sbsurdity of computing the discount in the
vay sdopted BY this exchange will be ap-
parentby figuring the discount on paper
money suppOsing gold to be worth $500,
or 100 per cent premium. That is, if 1t
takes 500 in greenbaeks to buy 500 in
sold, how much gold viii 500 in green
backs buy9 The answer Of course will be
$50, which would make paper money worth
lust so cents on the dollar. Hence, ifgold
is worth 81, 70, paper money must be worth
5s 7s. Illustrating the matter further, If
the premium on gold is Y per cent, and 1t
Is correct to say that the discount on pa
would be the discount on paper money II
gold should be worth 100 per cent. pre-
mium2 According to that rule paper
money would be at discount in that case
of 100 percent, and consequently be worth
nothingl
For the benefit of those who have for
gotten what they have learned in Dabol,
we will give the rule for ascertaining the
value of paper money, when gold is at
premium:
Take the par value of gOld-add two ci-
piers to it, divide it by the price of gold,
and the quotient will be the value of paper
money. For example: Take the value
ofeOld at S172-1OO.OO :L72-5s.789, the
quOtient, being the value paper money
or 58 79-1OO cents.
tits high time that the public, particu-
Iarly the press, should understand the diff
ference between premium on gold and
discount on paper money. This creating
the impression that paper money is only
worth % cents on the dollar. when it is
worth nearly So cents viii do much harm
and still further eomplicate financial mat
tiers.
We suggest that thepapers allude to this
matter for the purpose of correcting the
prevalent idea that gold at 60 per cent.
premium indicates a discount Of 90 per
cent. on paper money, when in reality ii
is only 373 per cent. discount.

West Point moral Science.


Moral science should be the same at West
Point as at all other places, but the New
York Evening Post suggests grave doubts
about it, by the following paragraph;
The following incident was related by
the Rev. J. P. Newman in the delivery Of
patriotic lecture-'T The Young Man and
His Country on Monday evening, at the
Seventh Street Methodist Episcopal Church.
Said the lecturer: Several years since, in
going up the Hudson river on steamboat
I happened to meet the chaplain of the
West Point Academy. In the course of
conversation with him learned that he was
also the professor Of ethics in that institu-
tiOn. asked him what text book they
used. He said, 'Wayland's Moral Science
expurgated.' l inquired what he meant
by expurgated. He answered, the chap
ter on slavery left out by order Of the Hon
orable Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of
War Thus have our West Point officers
been educated in conservative moral
science, and trained for the work of rebel
lion. Qutrs: Is the expurgated edition
still used as a text book ?'
If it is, can we wonder at the pernieious
influence whish West Point has had over
the officers who have graduated from there,
or at their prsdilectiOns for the Southern
cause2

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette tells this story:
General Butler has told friends here
the course which he should have pursued
with reference 10 the proclamation of JEFF.
Davis against him, had it reached New Or.
leans while he was still in command. He
would have sent a rebel General and sew
eral other officers then in his hands to Ship
Island, with orders that upon receipt Of
authentic intelligence by the officer in com
mand there, that hair of Buffers head
or any of his officers had been touched,
these rebel prisoners should all be hung at
once. And adds Butler, JEFF. Davis
knows me well enough to believe what
l promised l should perform. He knows
that Massachusetts man who dared TO
vote sixty-four times for him at the
Charleston Convention, would dare do any
thing"

The Free State Bank, washington, d. c.
A SLunendnIa SSEindle.


Correspondence of the Chicago Timesl
LOUISVILLE. Feb. q.
Some two weeks since two men by the
names of J. Paddock and D. H. Holland.
hailing from New York, were arrested at
Louisville for having in their possession
some $50, 900 in bank notes, purporting to
be issued by the Free State Bank, Wash
ington -" greenbaeks,' and secured by
special deposits with s. A. Mills, banker,
Exchange Place, New York. 1t is need
less to say there is no such bank, and the
whole thing is q sWindle from first
to last. When arrested, the parties
were on their way to Nashville, where
in connection with Paymasters, Quarter
masters, and Suffers, they intended to food
the country and army with the worthless
trash. It will be remembered by some Of
your readers that the manner Of Mr.. Pad
docks inanciering in New York, in max
ing deposit of worthless Coal and Mining
Company stocks with Mr. Mills, was pretty
well ventilated at time OF his arrest. They
were held to bail in sums of $1,000, which
we have no doubt they will procure in
short time, and will then make another
dash at some other point We would ad-
wise the authorities Of Southern CT ties, st.
Louis and other points, to be on the look
out for them and the Free State Bank"

Colonel LOOmis, of the immortal battery
that bears his name, was rendered COM
plimentary dinner by his friends at Cold
water, and asked to fix "a lime when it
would be convenient for him to attend. In
an eloquent and patriotic response he
says:
" Permit me to indicate as the time for
such festivities, the close Of this tOar, when
the noble and gallant officers and soldiers
have the honor to command, who, by their
self-sacri6cing devotion to their country,
IN this its hour Of peril, have SO largely
contributed to the success Of our arms, can
participate with US in such joy"
Good There is a rich favor about that!
It is patriOtically spoken, as a soldier
should speak.

Incident of the Indianapolis Gathering.

Incident Of the Indianapolis UaLhefines
The indianapolis Journal says that at
the close Of the grand gathering Of Thurs
day last, an impressive scene occurred
Hon. Samuel Galloway, Of Columbus, had
Just concluded a powerful and eloquent
speech, and was still upon the platform
with Governor Wright and Governor John
son. The latter had arisen in response to
the request of an old gentleman who had
the war had produced in bringing togsfRSedF Sd
those of former political antagonism, and
said that it afforded him unspeakable
satisfaction to meet there two distinguish
ed gentlemen with whom he had always
differed in politics, Thompson and Gallo
Way), as well as the distinguished gentle
man with whom he had always politically
agreed (GoToEnOr Wright. Their hearts
now beat in unison for the great cause in
which all we're engaged. In conclusion of
this glorious days proceedings, he asked
the satisfaction Of taking the two distin-
guished gentlemen, his former opponents,
by the hand, in the presence of the i'm
msnse assembly. As the Governor made
this last remark, he stepped forward, and
grasping with one hand a hand Of Mr..
Thompson, and with the other that of Mr.
Galloway, the three stood for a moment
overpOwered by their feelings; then, as if
by a common impulse, h5rsw their arms
around each other, and the audience, work
ed up to a pitch Of feeling hardly less in
tense than that of the distinguished gen.
tlemen, broke into shouts and cries of joy,
cheers, and stormy applause, very gener-
ally moistened with tears, too which act
ually shook the building. Such another
scene was never witnessed in political
meeting. 1t was a natural, irTepressible
outburst Of feeling and made many wet
eye among the sturdy patriots, who we're
little used to the melting mood" The
iron old Andy Johnson, who had faced
rebel pistols, and endured rebel porsecu-
tion, had seen his property destroyed, and |
his family turned into the streets, without |
tear, crying like boy with the delight |
Of an occasion 50 grateful 20 his patriotic /
soul, was a sight to remember for q life |
time. For many minutes the audience /
was wild sea of joyful eommotiOn, utter
ly indescribable, which only sussided on /
the announcement of the propriety Of pro-
viding means to distribute the report Of
the speeches and proceedings Of the meet
ing among the soldiers and the people.
