Notes Of Third Series ef 7.3Os now ready.
The demand for the Second Series of the
7-5O Notes was SO great that the Treasury
Department was unable to print them with
sufficient rapidiry to fill the orders. 1t will
be remembered that q hundred millions we're
subscribed and paid for in single week.
The printing presses have finally surmounted
the difficulty, and on Wednesday, june 7tb,
the deliveries of the Third Series commenced
and will be continued with the same prompt
ness that marked the supply of the notes of
the first and second series. 1t has been this
interruption of delivery ct the time of sub
scription which has given an appearance of a
falling off in the popular taking of the load
the great body of small takers being unwill-
ing to pay their money unless they receive
their notes right in hand, to carry them
home. II is expected that after this week
the daily subscriptions to the Seven Thirties
will run up into millions, as they will un-
doubtedly be stimula ted by the opening of
the farmers wool markets East and Vest
1t is not at all likely that the Government
will ever again offer so desirable a security
as these notes, and about two hundred mill
ions only remain to be taken.
With the close of the war the national ex-
penses will be vastly reduced, aud investors
must look for sharp reduction in the rate
OF interest as soon as the present loans be-
come due, and can be paid off There is no
reason why the United Stotes credit for
money should ever again fall below its credit
for courage. The same spirit that preserved
the geographical integrity of the country
Will place its pecuniary integrity on par
with that of the most favored nations-and
that will represent rate OF int crest under
rather than over four per cent.

PUBLIC FAST DAYs.>-The Public have had
Surfeit of these week day Sundays, which
are but Yankee notion at best. Tbev have
not turned out to be of any decided use 70
any badly. 1t is ceatain that they have not
cured the Clergy but rather have made that
profession more intolerant, slanderouo and
vindictive than usual. We mean the Abol
tion political Clergy. Nor have many of the
high Professors who call for such days been
in any degree benefited or converted. Thoy
hate and persecute men who cannot think
aad act politically with them as fiercely as
ever.
Let the People have rest awhile from
these clerical political impostures and it can
DO seen in the meantime whether matters and
things do not get along quite as well with

1rIsALL OVER THE CoUNrRY.-The Chi
csgo Times, of the 10th inst, gives the fol-
lowing to the public:
A prominent eastern newspaper charges
that our officers at Charleston, have been
guilty OF robbery in taking plate, books, fur
niture and SO forth, from private houses. II
is too late in the day to ente or complaint in
this matter. The evil has been done, and il
is now past remedy. There are men in Chi
cago who have been three years in the field,
and who, on salaries Of from 800 to $500
per month, have been able to erect brick
blocks costing from thirty to fifty thousand
dollars. There are families in this city, who,
before the war, were in st,aightened circum-
stances, and who, during :he war, have been
unsalaried officials Of great charitable oreani .
cations, but who, now. are living surrounded
by every luxury, and are enjoying, if not q
fortune, ut least q competence.
IL is 90 in Chicago, and it is probably 90 in
other places. Some Of our gallant patrjo ia,
both male and female have made good thing
out of the war and its charities and il in
entirely useless now for our well meaning
cotemporary to set up the cry of 'stop thief ,
