These bonds have changed hands,
some of them, twenty or fifty times.
Five or six hundred millions of them
are held in Europe, principally in Ger
many, where they were purchased at
prices ranging from ninety nine cents
down to forty four and one half, in gold.
The first five hundred millions of bonds
issued cost the purchasers an average
of ninety six cents in coin; but they
have deprecated to their present value
of seventy seven cents. The bondr is
sued in 1864, realized from forty one
and one half to sixty three per cent,
and averaged fifty and one-quarter.-
These bonds, bought at the darkest
period of the war. when half the people
thought the Union was lost beyond re-
covery. are now selling in Europe and
America for seventy seven per cent in

Good and Bad omci.l...

One OF the most extraordinary ard
surprising features of American politics
is the seeming Indifference Of the voters
to the fitness Of the men selected for
public Office. The theory seems to be
that any man will do for any place in
the Government. This appears to be
not only the theory but the practice, and
the practice is applied to every office,
from member Of Council to member of
Congress. The workingman who is very
particular in the choice of doctor for
his family, or lawyer to take care of his
legal affairs, or even in the selection OF
his fellow mechanic to build his house
or do any other mechanical work for
him, is not at all particular as to who
he votes for in the the matter of public
officials. So, too, with the business
man. When he wants a clerk. book
keeper, . salesman, or even porter in
his store, he is very careful to inquire
into the character, the habits and the
qualifications of every applicant; but
when he comes to vote for Council
man or member Of the Legislature. it is
surprising how little attention he gives
to the subject. Yet, as rule, higher
qualifications are required in public sta
tions than in private ones. In the
former. the eye of the principal may he
always on the employee. and the employe.
knowing that his place depends on his
good conduct, is much more likely to
behave himself we'll but i'll the case OF
q public official, like member Of Coun-
Gil, member Of the Legislature. or a
member of Congress, there is 40 watch
ful superior at hand to look after him,
to see that he discharges his duty prop
erly, and the member is therefore likely
to act according to what he believes to
be his own interest, regardless OF the
good of his immediate constituents and
the welfare Of the general body Of the
public. The responsibility Of repre-
sentative is with the masses of the peo-s
pie; and the watching of him. there
fore, being cverybody's business is no.
body's business. Hence. unless the
representative is q conscientious man Of
high character, he can never be depend
ed upon in cases of emergency, From
this, it will be seen that more care
should be given to the selection Of pub
lie officials than is given to the choice
of employees for the transaction Of pri.
yate business.-(Phil.L Ledger.

my wife 2 Margaret, believe me, it is
no divided heart I offer you," and he
awaited her reply.
She laid her hand in his and said !:
"I 1 will be your wife, John Edmunds;"
and the gentle moonlight fell softly
around them as he told her Of the city
home to which he wished to take his
bride, "to love and cherish him until
death parted them" And the light in
Margaret's eye grew softer, and her
heart went out in thanksgiving to God
for the priceless gift Of love with which
He had blessed her.
They were soon married and left for
New York where they have since re
sided. They often meet Mary Walton
or rather Mrs. James Walden, in the
fashionable assemblies they sometimes
attend; and John Edmunds wonders
how he could have loved her, and then
turns to Margaret, his pearl, and thanks
God for the changes wrought by suit

The indianapolis Herald is inclined
to dodge the issus made so prominent
by the leaders of its I arty in regard to
an issue Of greenbacks to pay the Ma
tional debt, and is more practical than
the Vallandighams and Thurmans of it's
party. The Herald "places the reve-
nues of the Government at about $780,.
600 900, and the cost Of maintaining the
Government at about 100000; allow
double that sum Cor Government ex-
pcnditures in the future and continue
the revenues about the same az they
wore last = ear, and there would remain
over four hundred millions Of dollars
as a sinking fund, to be applied
annually to the redemption of the pub
lie debt
This is not the general acceptation of
the Democratic plan for paying the pub
lie debt. It is material modification,
and does not differ essentially from the
policy pursued eince the surrender of
the rebel armies, except in the paying
of the gold "bonds in currency" II
no more greenbacks are issued. those
now in circulation will be absorbed IN
the funding process, and legal tenders
will be worth dollar for dollar, and there
will be no objection to paying the gold
interest bearing bonds with them. It
seems to us that the Herald " caves 2" on
this Issue in affirming SO strongly that
sit is not the intention to pay the inter
est paying bonds by food Of Treasury
notes without any means for their re-
demption.'
This is not the opinion Of the Demo-
Gratis in this locality. If they mean
what they say, the proposition is to start
the printing presses at Washington and
food the country with Treasury notes
without any means for their redemption ;
Vallandigham, in q campaign speech,
delivered recently at Millersburg, Ohio,
discussed this question and concluded
as follnws:
| want you to take greenbacks for
what the government owes you, for
| what is sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander. BY calling in those bonds
and paying them off in greenbacks, you
save q hundred and twenty millions q
year in taxes, and this is just twice as
much as the whole expenses of the Gov
ernment were ten or eleven years ago.
Why should not that be done The
proposition OF the Democratic party is
that this public debt shall be paid of in
greenbacks that your thousand dollar
bonds shall be paid IN legal tender, upon
which the people pay no interest at all,
and thus that we shall escape a large
portion Of taxes. / am not in favor OF
| repudiating one dollar. It must all be
paid; but want it to be paid in what

value Of that which the Government
received. would be rather difficult, as
we'll as dishonest undertaking. Those
bonds have been selling every day for
six years, under thousand fluctuations
of the market, at all prices ranging from
premium down to All per cent. ac
cording to the financial credit Of the
United States in the eyes Of the worlds
capitalists. In what way can the viii
layers Of Earlville, LaSalle County,
compel the present holders of the bonds
to receive less for them than their mar
ket value ? The Government can pur-
chase all the Five-Twenty and Seven
Thirty bonds at 77@s7 per cent. which
it can pay for; and this price is just
about the value it originally received
for them. But it cannot discriminate
between the bonds-paying the present
holder Of a Five Twenty bond 90 cents
in gold, and the holder of another bond
of the same class, Ala cents. No law
Of this kind would be constitutional
Innocent third parties who now hold the
bonds could not be obliged to receive
less than market price. in any event;
nor has the Government any right to in
quire what was originally paid for them.
They were sold in open market for the
highest prices they would fetch. Be
fore the credit of the Government was
assailed by the Copperheads, its bonds
sold for nearly their face value. But
after they had basely and treacherously
opened their fire in the rear on the Union
cause all the capitalists and governments
Of Europe, except the republicans Of
Germany, believed that our Ship Of
State would surely founder and perish
and when the Copperhcad party declar-
ed the war to be "failure'' and the
overthrow Of the rebellion an impossi-
bility, it seemed even to loyal American
capitalists that the chances were abont
equal whether the Government could
pull through or would go to pieces. The
financial rule Of the world in all ages
has been that the greater the risk the
greater the discount in cashing the bonds

mcnt during the agonics of that strug-
gle formed no exception and if the
United States Government should now
violate its faith with public creditors by
doing what the villagers Of Earlville de-
mand, its credit would be forever ruined,
and stigma would be fastened upon
the American people which could never
be efaced = TChicago Tribune.

j. A Dishonest Proposition.

A meeting was held in the village Of
Earlville, LaSalle County, at which it
was resolved:
That we are in favor of the payment Of our
national debt in money Of the sAxx VALUE Of
that which the Government borrowed"
The village demagoguc who drew this
resolution perhaps did not stop to con-
slider the absurdity of his proposition, to
say nothing Of its dishonesty.
The national debt On the lst of March,
1861, was S76,455, 800, for which the
original owners loaned the Government t
the full value Of the face Of the bonds
in coin. July /, 1861, the debt had in
creased by 14,5OO,0 900, and 100 per
cent in coin was paid for the bonds
issued. BY December /, 1861, the debt
had increased to S217,654, 1853 The
Government received from par to 90 per
cent for this one hundred seventy seven
millions addition to the debt. Between
December |, 1861, and June I. 1862,
two hundred twenty four millions more
bonds and notes were issued, for which
the Government received an average Of
SCI cents. Between June l and Septem-
Der l. 1862. the debt increased eighty
-four millions, and the Government re-
ccived an average Of 92a per cent. By
January l, 1868, the debt had further
increased one hundred and ninety mil
lions, and the Government received
therefor from sc to 76* per cent in coin,
averaging 81 per cent. The public debt
now amounted to S764, 535, ,s54, includ-
ing the legal tenders then issued. Dur
ing the year 1868 the bonded debt in
creased four hundred and fifty millions.
The bonds issued during the first quar-
ter of that year realized 81 cents in gold;
during the second quartes, 724 cents
during the third quarter, 81 cents, and
during the last quarter, 734 per cent.
In 1864 the attitude of the Democratic
party had become SO disloyal and dan
gerous that the public credit suffered
most severely. During that year the
bonded Indebtedness increased $3.50,
100000, from which the Government
realised, from January to April l, 6s4
per cent from April to July l, 544
per cent. from July to October 1, 444
per cent. and from October l to Jan
uary l, 1865, the average price of bonds
was 493 in coin. These were the dark
days OF the Union. During the year
1865 the bonded debt increased $500,
100000, and the Government realized
therefrom an average of 20 cents. Since
then the bonded Indebtedness has been
increased about lO0,O0O,00o. making o
| total at this time of 80, 140, 900, ,Q00.-
This last addition to the debt was made
to redeem compound legal tenders and
other floating debts, and realized, thak
ing the market price of bonds, about &C
per cent. Reducing these figures to
tabular form, we have the following re
