Herald, estimating, with something like
accuracy, that there are and win be three
thousand millions of Government bonds in
existence. of which one hundred millions
win probably be held by Indiana capitalists,
holds that according to republican, notions
of Constitutional obligations these bonds
ought to be repudiated, unless the holders

RoyaI Morse Stealing.

Many horses were taken from Southern
plantations during the war by raiders and
individuals, aud brought North. These
horses have never been lawfully confiscated.
but are held without authority. The
President has given orders that all such
property may be taken by the owners
wherever found. And more recently.
Qnartermaster General Meigs has issued
orders directing officers on duty in the
various military departments to seize aud
turn over all animals which have belonged
to the United States, and all those impressed
in loyal or disloyal districts; sll captured
by the enemy from the U. s. unless the
persons holding them can show a legal
right TO them; and reward of SIS will be
paid for information that leads TO the re-
covery of such horses but persons holding
them cannot receive this reward. The ".
Y. Commercial Advertiser says:
The truth ~ horse-stealing from the
Government was carried ON hy the whole
sale during the continuance of the war
nor was this species Of theft confined TO
the disloyal. Officers and soldiers alike in
our own armies came. in a very short time,
10 look upon horses as common property,
and whoever could get the best animal out
of the quartermaster or anybody else, was
too commonly regarded as the cleyerest
fellow. From general to private down,
nearly every one may be said to have be-
come dpmoraiiZed on the subject of horse
flesh. IS n result of this laxness, very
many whre the eXpedents resorted TO for
swindling the Government. Attached TO
every body of men, of any considerable
number, was corral or inclosure of fresh
Ia. " aa nf flsa piI
1t was very frequently the custom of
mounted men 10 procure by purchase or
''confiscatiOn" a poor animal, and then
turning it info the corral" receive good
horse in exchange. In this manner Gov
ernment was defiauded out of thousands
of dollars every year. Animals 80 obtained
were taken home by officers at the ex-
piration of their term of services, and are
now scattered all through the country.
Almost everybody came in time to regard
this species of stealing as merely sharp
practice.

The TEST VoTE.-A bill will be intro
duced into the House, at the opening of
Congress, to test the policy Of reeOnstruc-
ton. 1t is expected by the Republican
leaders TO ALLEVIATE, during the progress of
this bill, all the shaky material of their
party, and to force the President to show
his hand MIR. johnson will probably take
the wind out of the sails OF these agitators
by compelling them either to support or

find themselves not only in the opposition,

The Election of United States Sem
atOP,

The Columbus correspondent of the Com
macidl expresses the opinion that the elec-
ton of United States Senator, to succeed
JoHN SHERMAN, viii be postponed by the
Legislature until the next session. He
says:
There is quite general disposition man
ff,strd tu pUstpOne action untif the adjourn
Ell session, as was done IN the last case,
when Mr.. Wade was reelected. As the
term of tho present incumbent does not
expire until March, 1867, IL Is thought to
be mwise to rush into an election of his
successor one year In advance, when that
year may be period of events which
would have great influence upon the choice
of members. lnasmuch as there viii be
ample time for the election at the second
session 1t is thought that a majority will
vote 10 postpone it till then"
Ii Is none of our funeral, therefore We
may be intruding ii we suggest that those
illustrious rivals for the position, Messrs.
SCHENoK aud SHERMAN, will not exactly
like so much delay--a delay that may be
productive of bringing other royal contest
ants into the field, and possibly TO animate
the contest as to indefinitely pospone the
claims of both; for, although they, just
now. seem 10 claim the field as exclusively
their own, II is NOT tobe disputed that there
i any auantits,9f patriots in the State just
as ardent to achieve honors and enolu-
ments as they, who would not put away

The signs are hopeful and encouraging
that the Democratic party will soon again
be In the ascendant and be called upon by
the great majority of the American people
TO direct and control public afiairs-to
bring peace, system and order out of the
chaos produced by Republican misrule.
The President has been compelled TO adopt
its principles in the very beginning of his
attempts at reconstruction and restoration,
and the people of the whole country will
yet be compelled to plant themselves upon
the principles of the Democratic party, if
they ever hope to see and rejoice in a re-
stored and peaceful Union of the States.
