The Rebel Debt.

The Atlantic cable reported that one
eject Of the johnson convention at
Philadelphia was rise in rebel
bonds in the London market. This
statement was hardly credited at the
time. but news by steamship to the LIST
inst. fully confirms it. The English
holders of these bonds OF course hope
that the kind of Reconstruction advo-
Gated at that convention will be carried
through and be followed by the assump-
ton OF the rebel debt by the United
States government. This we are apt to
consider q stupid expectation Of John
Bull, but let us see
Supposing the President all right for
it, all that is needed to secure this sad
ding upon US OF the rebel debt is ma
lority of Congress. 1t is not improbable
that the members from the Southern
States, once admitted, would vote with
few, if any, exceptions for that assump-
ton. Their Northern political sympa-
thizers were ready to go any lengths for
them throughout the rebellion, and still
are. If the Northern copperhead Con-
gressmen should vote with the South in
favor of our governments assuming the
rebel debt, it would hardly be worse than
the aid and comfort they afforded the
rebels all through their war upon the
Union. That they should then have
furnished such aid and comfort to armed
and bloody treason, seems almost incred-
ible. But the fact is indisputable. That
they should now join the South in
forcing an assumption of the rebel debt,
would seem but a natural sequence. But
this is not all. The holders of the rebel
bonds could afford to expend an i'm
mense amount of money to secure this
assumption, and then be large gamers
by the operation. On this point the
Boston Journal says "the real amount
of the rebel debt is not less than 81 ,500,
100000, and the holders of this amount
of worthless paper could well afford to
give the sum of $5O0,OO0,OO0 to secure
its payment at fifty cents on dollar and
make a handsome profit at that" 1t is
impossible to tell what $500, 100000 or
half or quarter Of that enormous sum,
expended on members of Congress, would
not accomplish in these days.
And yet my policy" would admit the
representatives Of the Southern States
at once, without any guarantees or safe
guards against this or any other enor-
nifty. The constitutional amendment
passed by Congress at its last session,
among other things prohibits forever
the assumption by the United States
of this rebel debt. The safety Of the
people lies in the ratification Of that
amendment.

The SOUTHERN LoYALlsTs WELCOMED
IN NEW YoRK.-The reception of the
Southern loyalists, Tuesday evening, at
Cooper Institute, New York, was very
enthusiastic. The hall was damned to
excess, and a large meeting was held
outside. The meeting in the hall was
presided over by Peter Cooper, assisted
by long list of Vice Presidents, in
Guiding William Cullen Bryant, George
William Curtis, Horace Greeley and
others. The welcoming address was
made by william E. Dodge, and was re-
sponded to by Gov. Brownlow and Others
of the delegation. The outside meeting
was addressed by Messrs. Stewart of
Maryland, Hunnicut of Virginia and
others. A portion Of the delegation
proceeded to Brooklyn, where they were
welcomed by an immense audience at
Plymouth church. The weather was
very unpropitious, but the people turned
out in spite of it.

THE PRESIDENT AT INDIANAPoLIs,-We
are glad to see it stated that the Indian
apolis papers of Tuesday morning united
in condemning the disturbance in that
city on the arrival of the President. On
Tuesday the President and Mr.. Seward
made speeches there to peaceful crowds.
Mr.. johnson is doing all he can to lower
the office of President of the United
States. The people must not aid him in
the matter by also forgetting what is
due to it.

JoHSsoNIsM.-Levi S. Chataeld, once
Attorney General of the State of New
York, made a speech to a cab-load
of Johnsonites at No. l Grand street,
New York city on Saturday evening,
wherein the Sunday Mercury reports
him as saying
Though he Mr. o. was no appolo,
gist for murder, that was providence
in the event which made Mr.. Johnson
President. But for that egeNt zoe might
hapa hidden farerH to liberty, 1t certainly
looked like Providential interference.
Yet it is the cue of another set OF
Johnsonites to insist that Mr.. Johnson
is only carrying out the policy inaugu-
rated by Mr.. Lincoln

the American fleet will include seventy
five monitors, four hundred and one
screw or paddle steamers, and one hun

ing in all, four thousand four hundred
and forty-three guns. In January,
1861, eighty.six vessels made up the
whole American fleet. IL the difference
between Che feet in 1861 and 1866 is to
be found the best illustration that could
be given of the yigor and energy Of the
American people.

A QUEER JoKE.-K--, the Quaker
President of Pennsylvania railroad,
during the confusion and panic last fall
called upon the W Bank, with which
the road kept a large regular account,
and asked for an extension of part of it's
paper falling due in few days. The
bank president declined rather abruptly.
"Mr. K, your paper must be paid at
maturity; we cannot renew it," every
WELL" our Quaker friend replied, and
left the bank. But he did not let the
matter drop here. On leaving the bank
he went to the depot and telegraphed to
all the agents and conductors on the road
to reject the bills on the W bank.
In few hours the trains began to ar
rive, full of the panic, bringing the news
of the W bank all along the line.
Stockholders and depositors focked to
the bank, quaking with panic, inquiring
thus: whats the matter 2" SIS the
bank broke 7" etc, etc. A little inquiry
on the part of the officers showed that
the trouble originated in the rejection of
the bills by the railroad agents. The
president seized bis hat and rushed down
to the Quaker's Office, and came bursting
in with this inquiry: "Mr K, have
you directed the refusal of our currency
by your agents" eyes" was the quiet
reply. "Why is this 2 1t will ruin u.s."
"Well, friend L, supposed the bank
was going to fail, as it could not renew
u little paper for Us this morning" II
is needless to say that Mr. l. r..
newed all the Quaker's paper and e.
larged his line of discount, while The
msgic wires carried all around the road,
TO every agent, the sedative message
"The W Bank is all right. Thee
may take all its currency"

LONG CUT FEED BETTER THAN
SHORT.

"A correspondent reasons as follows !:
When boy, we were taught TO cut straw
and hay for horses as short as possible
and the reason assigned was, that horses
would eat it sooner. and with greater
ayidity. In after life, we observed that
1t was not 50 good for hehorses. Straw
and hay cut one irch long, for animals
that do not chew the cud,is far better
than if not cutie one-fourth inch. When
straw is cut very short, much OF it goes
into the stomach without being crushed
For this reason great deal Of it does
not digest, though the juices of the stom
>ach would have Dissolved it, had it been
properly masticated. When q horse
begins to- eat, the sslivary glands send a
stream of saliva into the animal.
mouth, to moisten and soften the feed and
to prepare it for more easy digestion.
Therefore it is important that every
piece of straw or bay should be crushed
and macerated between the teeth, and
the savila thoroughly mingled with what
ever is eaten before it is swallowed. As
savila is powerful solvent, the organic
structure of all feed should be broken
upaby the teeth, and the SALIVA and all
the small fragments brought in contact
with the liquid.

FEED SHEEP -'sSbep-
paId," writing from Berlin Heights,
Ohio, truly says: "We who have the
care Of domestic animals, cannot be too
particular with them, especially in re-

see if fthere will not be at once an i'm
provemeDt in the disposition and condi-
lion Of the flock, Regularity Of feeding
sheep is an essential point in keeping
them in thriving condition, bat one
which is overlooked or unheeded by
many. Sheep fed at irregular times
know not when to expect their food,
they therefore wander about and are un-
easy, not quiet and peaceable as they
should be and viii be if treated in the
right way, and fed morning. and evening
