Ideas OF
Coop FAUH.-In another column will be found
a circular from Governor Seymour to the
bankers and merchants Of New York, calling
upon them to provide means by voluntary con-
tribution whereby 80 much Of the interest on
the State debt as belongs to nonresident credi-
tors, II not tho whole, may be promptly paid
In gold or its equivalent. The necessity for
this is thus explained
In March, 1868, the Governor addressed
q communication to the Assembly asking
it TO provide for the payment in coin
or Its equivalent Of the interest on the
public debt amounting to $3S2,634, the
premium Of which, If paid in gold. would be
Sill, 900. or the whole amount of interest
due about $4,000 was owing to foreign stock
holders, and the greater part Of the remainder
to citizens OF this State. He impressed upon
the Legislature the importance of maintaining
to the letter the obligations contracted by the
State. The time might come when 1t would be
compelled to rely upon its own resources, and
1t could not expect to be able again to 60 into
the market il it were to repudiate the condi-
lions on which it had obtained assistance. An
appropriation was made for the purchase Of
coin sufficient to enable the Com troller to pay
In gold the interest on the stocks OF New York
held by persons residing abroad; but, no pre-
vision having been made for the payment In
the same manner OF the creditors residing in
this country, the Comptroller was compelled TO
forego 1t.
This year . joint resolution has been
adopted by both houses declaring "that no dis
tnction should be made between the foreign
and domestic holders Of State bonds as to the
currency In which the principal and interest
thereon should be paid" The effect Of this
resolution, In the absence Of any appropria-
ton, will be that no part Of the interest will be
paid as II was promised, in coin or It's equiva-
lent Had the resolution taken the form Of
law tho Governor could have branded IL
with Veto Tho republican managers, how
ever, took care not 10 afsrd him this OPP
portunity, and now be Ia compelled to appeal
to the moneyed interests Of New York 10 save
the State from the disgrace which must be
visited upon II by the reputation OF It's obliga
tons to its foreign creditors Principle and
policy, he says, unite 70 urge the necessity Of
keeping faith with the public creditor. or this
there can be no question
The bonds Of the States that have
continued to pay the interest OF their
debts In gold are everywhere above par,
and those Of The city OF Boston, which has
followed the same laudable example, are at
from afty to sixty premium. We have no doubt
that our banks and moneycd men will at snce
respond to the Governors appeal, end furnish
all tho money required. They will feel, with
him, that In time like the present there can
De no greater blow 10 their individual inter
ests than any failure in our obligations TO the
! public creditor.

Our PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CHARrrEs.-It is a
distinguishing feature Of the American people
that they are ever ready to contribute freely
and most literally to the alienation of misery
that they are ever charhably inclined on a
large and noble scale. We are impressed with
this fact from the immense success of the great
Metropolitan Fair, and the continued exertions
of those who seem determined to aid the
wounded soldiers On Monday evening last
The Twelfth regiment gave ball at the AGA
deny Of Music having charity for its object
The affair was very brilliant one. aud re-
Hected credit upon all concerned. On Satur-
day Signor Mazzoleni gives matinee concert
OF Irving Hall, for the purpose Of relieving tho
distresses Of needy Italians In New York; and
as an Offset to this the Italian Benevolent So
ciety gives on the evening OF the same day, at
the same place vocal concert, the proceeds
Of which are to be added to tho fund Of the
Fair.
In no other country are there SO many public
and private charitable institutions as in this. We
have asyldms for the deaf, the dumb, the blind,
the inebriate and incurables. States, large and
small towns, ell alike show the same careful
attention to these matters, and make the c.me
generous outlay. Our public schools are car
ried on at immense expense. We have oalou-
lated that not less than City millions are An
nually expended in this country in charities,
public and private and II 10 evident that these
amounts are increasing during this period Of
warfare II is gratifying to observe that, II we
may be taxed with extravaganza, It must be
added that charity keeps pace With the move
mont, and that in the general pursuit Of show

The LAST SENsArroN.-One day last week we
published the advertisement OF man In want

for all old books, blank books, newspapers and
manuscrIpts-in short, for everything that is or
can be paper. Seven cents per pound were
offered for this old stuff.
That column has created q great sensation
In society and out OF Il. Il has filed the
quietest households with the spirit OF specula-
tion and uproar. No greater excitement was
created 10 Bagdad by the announcement that

and our staid matrons are as eager a. gold
hunters in EIdorado or Wall street. All old
wardrobes, closets, garrsts, pantries, cupboards,

sacked and purged ruthlessly, and, since tie

not sacred. Yes, within the past seven days

It provides they may be sold. II was
referred TO tho committee OH Agricul-

There was an animated discussion also
in the House upon bill 10 restrain

was general disposition manifested
that some legislation upon the subject
was necessary. There are many strong
advocates Of such a law, in this county.

Aboitssli;is the BOARD Of Super
ViSOES.

We see there are some petitions being
handed III 10 the legislature, asking
them to abolish the system of the Board
of Supervisors, and an inclination on
the part OF some of the members to
grant the PRAYER of the petitioners.
The great and ruling fault Of our
Legislatures heretofore has been too
much legislation. The people would
become but partially educated in the
law upon roads, bridges, cstrays,
schools, taxes, Sc. &c, when at the
next session Of the legislature they
would be repealed or amended, so that
new study Of them i. again required,
and a fresh knowledge OF them hut
barely obtained before another session
would again amend and probably not
improve them, and the people again
required to make the law their study
il they wish TO be law abiding citi-
Zcns.
Through this excessive legislation
our people become restless, tinid, and
fearful III executing the law. The action
Of predecessor is but a small guide TO
an officer in carrying ont the law, and
having no guide, he is equally liable 10
error, through a misntesprclation Of
the law. AS consequence our people
become dissatisfied, each one clamnrnr
for a law, upon some particular subject
similar to the law Of his native STATE
upon the same subject.
| In our own native State, we were
accustomed to the system of County
:, government, controlled by Board Of
Supervisors, and know that the system
worked admirably well, to the entire
satisfaction OF communities; yet when
the idea was first agliatcd in this State,
and the law passed creating them, we
could hardly be styled an advocate of
i, icing fearful that it might prove too
great IN inosa'icn upon our sparsely
settled State, many townships CT which
being almost entirely composed Of per
sons who had never lived under that
system Of County Government.
The system, Thus far with rs, how.
ever has worked admirably well better
than was anticipated by many. I, has
made converts Of those who opposed il
at first. But Il few days since one of
tie present members Of our Board, and
he has been a member from the first !,
stated in our Office, that ut frs, he was
much opposed to the system ami con-
tinued so nearly a year after its adop
ton bnt since he had become more
thoroughly acquainted Miihi' 4 scents
practical workings, he thought better
plan for county government could no,
be devised lie believed it to be much
better han the old plan Of County Com.
mss,nners, under which he had f>rmcr
~ lived, because every township had
direct Voice, through one Of its own in
tcrested residents. His ideas upon the
subject were certainly good and will
be endorsed by very large majority
of orr people.
We sincerely hope the present legis
latnre will let onr present system of
County Government stand as it is, and
not shove us off again on to some new
and nntried system, which will require
two more years to make it work prac
iically, and then give perhaps far less
satisfaction than the present system,
which is we believe becoming more 20
pnlar from day to day as the people be
come more acquainted with it.
