How the Money Goes,

Usder this caption, The Tribune con.
dennis the prodigality which Congress
votes money for ship canals, one around
Niagara falls and another to connect Lake
Michigan with the Mississippi. 1t de-.
clares we are running in debt at the rate
of q million q day, and beseeches Con-
gress to nut a stop the OUTLAWS moi abso-
lutely needed. The Tribunes makes a
great mistake in supposing that these
canals are not indispensable. It is usu.
ally the champion of the great North.
west, but We apprehend that it ignores
that important portion of the country in
condemning the recent measures to pro-
vide for the security Of the great Lake
cities. The East IS receiving millions
out of the treasury for its harbors and for
monitors to protect them. The North
west has rights also that are not to be ig.
nored. II has proved itself the right
arm of the Government in it's defense Of
the Union. 1t should therefore be treat
ed with a more liberal hand than it has
been in days gone by. Economy might
be practiced, we suspect, in many other
directions, better than 10 refusing tv
build ship capals.-- Cleveland Leader.
"The Northwest has rights also that
are pot to be ignored indeed WY,
this sort Of talk is decidedly Hcopperish.

BelIefontaine, in this State, was the

it out of doors. In doing this her cloth

her clothes were literally burned up, and
the flesh dropping from her limbs. She

Suffering for Something TO Eat

Suffering for Something to Eat
New York, Feb. 15.-The Tribune's
Savannah correspondent calls attention
to the painful fact that there are $500
Of Sberman's army in the hospitals in
that city, weak, racked aud wrecked, fe.
vered skeletoos, suffering and dying Fl ON
fever and wounds and chronic diarhea,
pi:sously begging their Surgeons to sup
ply them with something they can eat.
But the Surgeons are unable to supply
them, and report that so per cent. of the
many deaths are due to the want Of prop
er kinds Of n~ourishment. What makes
the matter worse is, these poor fellows
have heard that shiploads Of fresh and
varied provisions have been sent from the
North to feed those who have brought
them to the condition they are in. The
correspondent says agents Of the Sanitary
Commission have been applied to as be-
ing likely to have the kinds Of food and
nourishment needed, and all the satisfac-
ton obtained was that, though the Com
mission had plenty, transportation could
not be secured to convey Il to Savannah.
Yet spectators without number have
been able to secure all the transportation
they needed to bring their goods here and
and sell them at exorbitaut prices.

origin Of Paper MONEY.

During the war in Spain with the
Moor, in the yenr 14e5, the Count de
Tendilla was bssieged in the Fortress Al
hama by the MOors. The Count was
destitute Of gold and silver to pay his
troops ; and, the soldiers murmured great
ly that they had not the means Of pur-
chasing necessaries from the people Of
the town. In this dilemma, he issued
little bits Of paper. on which he in.
scribed various sums, both large and
small, signed with hi, own hand and
name, promising to redeem them at a fu-
ture time with silver and geld. Thus by
a kind Of alchemy, did the Court turn
paper into gold, and make his garrison
abound in money. The Count de Teudil'
la redeemed his promise like a Knight,
and this miracle, as it appeared in those
days, is the first instance on record Of
paper money.

RICHMOND, February 5th, 1885,
TO the President Of the Confederate
States:
SIR-Under your letter Of appointment
Of the 18th ult,, NO proceeded to seek an
informal conference with Abraham Lin
coin, President Of the United States, up
on the subject mentioned in your letter.
The conference was granted, and took
place on the 30th., on board q steamer
anchored in Hampton Roads, where we
met President Lincoln and Hon. Mr..
Seward, Secretary Of State Of the United
States. II continued for several hours,
and was both full and explicit. Welearn-
ed from them that the message of the
President to the Congress Of the United
States in December last, explains clearly
and distinctly bis sentiments as to the
terms and method of proceeding by which
peace can be secured to our people, and
VIC were informed that they would be
modified to obtain that end. We under
stood from him that no terms or propo-
sails Of any treaty, or agreement looking
to an ultimate settlement, would be en-.
tertained by him with the authorities Of
the Confederate States, because that
would be a recognition Of their existence
as q, separate power, which, under no cir.
c~umstances, would be done, and for like
reasons that no such terms would be en-
tertained by him from States separately
that no extended truce or armistice, as al
present advised, would be granted or al
lowed without satisfactory assurance in
advance Of a complete restoration Of the
authority Of the Constitution and laws oil
tho United States over all places within
the States Of the C~onfederacy; that what.
ever consequences may follow from the
re- establishment Of that authority, mus
be accepted, bnt that individuals subject
to pains and penalties under the laws o.
the United States might rely upon a very
liberal use Of the power copided to hin
to remit those pains and penalties, i
peace be restored. During the confer
ence, the proposed amendment to thu
Constitution Of the United States adopt
ed by Congress on the 3lst ult., wa
brought to our notice. This amendmen
provides that neither slavery nor involun
tary ~servitude, except for crime, shoul'
exist within the United States, and tina
Congress should have the power to en-
force this amendment by appropriate ne
gotiation
Of all the conference herein mentione,
and leading to the same, yop have here
tofore been informed. wi.
