Votes of Third Series of 7-3Os
Now Ready.

The demand for the Second Series of the
$50 Notes was SO grea' that the Treasury
Department was unable to print them with
sufficient rapidity to fill the orders. 1t will
be remembered that a hundred millions were
subscribed and paid for in single week. The
printing presses have finally surmounted the
difficulty, and on Wednesday, June It'll 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 at the time of sub
scrlption which has given an appearance of
falling off in the popular taking of the
loan,-the great body of small takers being
unwilling to pay their money unless they re-
ceive their notes right in hand, to carry Them
home. 1t is expected that after this week
the daily subscriptions to the Seven Thirtits
will run up into millions, as they will un-
doubtedly be stimulated 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 mil
lions only remain to be taken.
With the close of the war the national ex.
penses will be vastly reduced, and 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 States 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 it's pecuniary integrity on par
with that of the most favored nations-and
that will represent a rate Of interest under
rather than over four per cent

"A correspondent of the Pbiladelnb;a

"A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, in letter from Hampton, Va,
gives the following specimen of Rebel AFRO
gance and assurance, which shows that either
the loyal people must be sustained by the
government, or rebel rule will again be in
augurated sooner or later to lead to colli-
sions and bloody feuds. Those fends who
inaugurated the late rebellion have no con-
cepton of the mawkish sentimental leniency
so fashionably now days in The Tribune
and kindred sheets. They must either be
masters or subjects. They admit of no mid
die ground; no fraternity with labor. Let
the government protect labor and enterprise
until negro aristocracy is rooted OUT
"PERTURBATIoN.-On every hand we were
asked by the busy trading tenants of the
frame stores if they would be ousted from
their tenements. We expressed our utter
ignorance of any pending ejcctlnents, nay.
expressed our surprise at the questions. Our
surprise was set down as feigned the shrewd
tradesmen pointing to our note book and
pencil as evidence of our knowing all about
it. After explaining our mission a score of
times we were told that since the issuing of
the amnesty proclamation the old rebellous
owners of the soil were returning in shoals
They at once served notices on all those
occupying tenements on their lands, asking
for fabulous ground rents as compensation
for the past use of the land, and yet more
cxtra7agant rents for the future. Prompt
payment or actions of ejectment is the word
with these pardoned Rebels. One gentle
man who has built very handsome store
offered the owner of the patch of ground on
which it stands twelve hundred dollars for
it, at least six times its real value. The
owner, former resident of Hampton, now a
widow cher husband was killed while fighting
sin the Rebel cause), coolly told the gentle
man that she would not sell the land for
twelve thousand dollars, nor would she dis
pose of it to Yankee at any price. This is
not an exceptional case. The returned
Hamptonians are as exclusive and aristocra-
tic as ever, maintain their old airs of super
iority, and glory in warning the Yankees off
their land. Here is another knot in the re-
construction plan. The truth is, the real
Rebels do not want the South to prosper
The majority of them will do all they can to
retard progress in the South, and make the
vast tracts of land they own an incubus to
the States in which it is located.
After listening to the often repeated nara
tives of the perverseness, spite and financial
obtuseness of our own pardoned Southern
brothers and sisters, we shook the dust of
Hampton from our feet and departed.

The Rev. NJ. d. Kurtz announced, last
Sabbath evening, that he would preach
sermon for the benefit of "The Fast Young
Men" tomorrow Sunday night. We doubt
not that it will be highly profitable and inter
esting to all, but more particularly to those
designated, of which there are many in
Elkton. We advise these gentlemen to 60
and hear this discourse. We also suggest
the propriety of the reverend gentleman
preaching sermon for the benefit of our
Fast Young Ladies.

THE New CONSTITUTION OF MISSOURI
Advices from Missouri declare that the new
State Constitution has been adopted by about
5000, despite the opposition of St. Louis
county and some others. The instrument is
thoroughly radical in its provisions, and it
provoked the bitter opposition of the lately
disloyal people Of that State, and brought out
as much of the strength of the jayhawkers
and guerrilas as individuals of that class
dared to make. The friends of Claiborne
Jackson and Sterling Price were bitterly op,
posed to it, and its adoption may be consd-
cred as important victory over them as was
gained by Lyon, Ewing or Pleasanton. In
fact, as we understand its provisions, all Sc
cessonists who joined the Rebel armies are
disfrachsed. They will either remain in
Missouri, without political power, or they
will be compelled to emigrate to some other
State, where the laws are not so severe
The change will be of advantage to Missouri,
and it may be to the prescribed. 1t will
introduce loyal emigrants into the State, and
compel the "exiies," wherever they may
settle as strangers, to be of good behavior.
