On the 18th day Of July, 1861, an
act was passed authorizing a "nation-
al loan and for other purposes" and
acting under the provisions Of that
law THE subscription agent of the
government issued proposals for the
New National Loan, bearing interest
at the rate of seven and three-tenths
per cent. per annum. The announce
ment was made that "pursuant TO in
structions form the Secretary of the
Treasury" these evidences of indebt-
edness should be in the shape Of notes
redoemable at the end of three years
in gold, and that the interest would
be payable semi-annually, at the
Mint, also in gold. Holders had the
option at the time their bonds ma
tured, of converting them into six
per cent goI bearing bonds, having
twenty years to run. This was \
plain contract, and these sevsn-thir-
ties, as they were styled, were the
first application made by the govern
ment to the people for loan. For
two aud halfyears the interest was
promptly paid in gold. But at the
date Of maturity, in 1864, pyament OF
the principal was declined, and also
of the interest remaining due on the
same, except on condition that the
principal would be taken in legal
tender notes, then at a discount o.
from fifty to sixty per cent, as com
pared with gold. An application 70
the Treasury Department for redress
was cavalierly responded to despite
the solemnly pledged faith Of the ma
tom by the Assistant Secretary, who
said that these sevcn-thir,ies were
+" considered on parity with all th'
4" temporary loans Of the government
+" all of which it has been the settled
" custom ofthis Department to pay il
" in lawful money"
This is a plain statement of tn;
facts, and we give them without not
or comment. We leave off as we be
gan, with the query, "Was it Repudi
alton p and if the answer is in tho
answer is in the affirmative, as thii
was done under Radical rule, "Wht

Some people have profound respect
for the operators Of the money mar
ket, and fancy that they are the
shrewdest Of all political calculators.
This notion may be well founded, as
regards political events in the Old
World, for governments are there
confined to such few hands, and the
intrigue, and influence of individuals
are so important, that n moneyed
class, who are largely interested in
the results, may take especial means
to post themselves. But it is not on
ly untrue as regards this country,
where the masses rule, but, on tho
contrary, the moneyed CLASSES, or, at
ali events, the speculative interests,
are the least intelligent and the least
likely of all classes TO comprehend
the political future. And never be-
fore was this truth SO palpable as at
this moment. The boDdbolding in
terest are fearful thaGif the "rebels'
and Copperheads cor@e into power
they will repudiate the public debt,
and therefore they stand by the "Rad-
icals.' Ii seems TO them, no doubt,
good logic; the "rebels" and Copper
heads, that is, the South united with
northern Democracy, getting into
power, will restore the constitutional
Union, that for which half a million
ofnortheners are supposed to have
died, and such restoration naturally
involves the Reputation and oblitera.
tion of all that the Radicals havo
done for the past seven years. And
TO prevent this the bondholders and
the Mongrels are SO utterly running
the country, that it must become as
incapable Of paying anything what
ever, as Mexico, Central America, Ja
maica, as all the countries south oI
us, from exactly the same causes
What blind and miserable fools The
"rebels" and Copperheads in power
will restore the grand old Union, with
its magnificent prosperity, and give
some chance at all events TO pay the
debt, or a portion Of it; but if tn,
bondholders persist in supporting Tho
madmen in power, they must loose al

be ruined.-Ddy Book.

DEAp-Mr. r. G. Horton, one Of
the editors and proprietors of the
New York Day Book, died at Dobb's
Ferry, near that city, of congestion Of
tho lungs, on the 22d. His death was
sndden and unexpected. Many Of
our readers arc familiar with the
writings Of Mr.. Horton. He was an
earnest Democrat, and in his writings
and through the columns of the Das
Book, was perhaps ahead of all hi:
competitors in fighting the battles o
Democracy. In addition TO his edito
rial labors, Mr. Horton was the author
of several publications. "Lifc o
James Buchanan" "lIistory of thu
Tammany Society" and a "Youthi
History Of the Great Civil War,
which has had such large circula

from the polls, commits a great wrong.
He deliberately sins against "Virtue,
Liberty and Independence" and may
thereby entail scourge upon his

than the cholera. This disease might
create more alarm, but its ravages

Those voters who are in favor of
paying bondholders one hundred and
tloenty million dollars annually for
interest, and paying the negro bu-
resuitos fifty millions more to raise
negro voters, will of course vote for
the Radical nominees.
Those, however, who wish to save
this one hundred and seventy mil
lions, and apply it to paying off the
national debt, will vote the Demo
cratic ticket, and in this way, in a
few years, escape the unmerciful rob.

Unfortunately for our cotemporary

case OF the Borough of Birmingham

Williams was reversed, by the Supreme

the law for him, he was so stolid, that,
when the case came up again before

William Johnston, of Altoona, who
was convicted in the U. S. Court at
Pittsburg, several months ago, for
dealing in counterfeit money, has
been sent to the Penitentiary for sew
en- years. He is now 65 years of age,
surrounded by large, respectable
and influential circle of kinsmen, To
end the "winter of life" in the Peni-

The 'loyalists" of Kansas are great
ly demoralized. They have got negro
suffrage, female suffrage, prohibitory
liquor law, and Sunday law, on
hands; and upon this multiplicity Of
"moral ideas they have split. The
dose is too great, The reformation
is too gigantic, and is likely to break
the loyal machine down. All these
crazy projects are to be incorporated
into their new Constitution. If there
were few moro fools in the party
in Pennsylvania, we would have the
same chalice presented to our lips.

"Lovas Eynamceering. -

Loyaly in this country assumes as
many hues as the rainbow, and boasts
as vehemontly of virtue and honesty
as any female fshmonger. We pro
pose TO introduce to our readers two
well known characters, by way of
illustration, the first first.class "1oy-
alist," and tho other a "Copperhead."
1t is said that John Doe sold $4,000
gold when it was $3.50, and thereby
realized fDe thousand doltarsi in green
backs; he took these greenbacks and
bought of Mr.. Chase a $4,000 500
United States bond, bearing gold in
terest, which yieds him now, with
gold at sl.45, four hundred and tl1eaty-
fUs dollars, being about TWENTY
ONE per cent. on his original invest
ment, and no taxes to pay.
Richard Roe also had $4,000 in gold,
and about the time Mr. Doe invested
in untaxed bonds, he purchased a
small farm with his gold. After the
greonback mill got fully under way,
Mr.. Roe's farm began to rise in value,
and the assessor came to the eonclu.
sion that it was worth So, 900 too and
down it went on his duplicate. In
about four months the collector came
around for the tax. He called at Mr.
Does, but, upon examination, found
he was only taxed for a small house
and lot, which amounted to but S25. so
He next passed to Mr. Roe's, and upon
opening his duplicate, found him taxed
with farm valued at s5,O00-as fol
lows: county tax, $50; bounty, 500
relief $50; road, $50; school, $50
State, sl5-total, s3l5.
Thus it will be seen that while the
farmer, Richard Roe, paid three hun
dred and fifteen dollars, TO SUSTAIN the
government, John Doe, the loyal bond
holder, was hammering at the Treasury
door every six months for his interest
and actually ROBBED the government
in the "hour of its extremity" Of fou
hundred and tloenty dollars annually
Who, we ask, is the patriot? Mr. Doe
who is robbing his country annually
oft,oenty-one per cent, or Mr.. Roe, VIII,
contributes sirteen per cent to it
support
i 1t is evident, from this vicw Of thu
case, that somebody's patriotism is ,
little like the Yankee gomansreligion
at will do to live by, but it would b,
of doubtful utility for dying purposes.
What we have here set forth is daily
transpiring' in every neighborhood
Whenever you hear man boast o
bis support OF the government, an
roundly abusing rebels and copper
heads, set him down as one of th
tribe who are daily robbing the Trea
sury at the rate of twenty-one pc
cent. per annum. Taxation, at th
rate of sixteen per cent. for farmers
, mechanics and laboring men; and in
terest, at the rate of t,oenty-one pc
cent, and no taxes, for the loyal bond
f holdersl That is the cway the presen
, "loyal" party administer afairs-ro
with both hands, and render them
selves hoarsc in declaiming agains

will soon get their eyes open.

for that road and in procuring its
charter, give the most solemn assuran-
ces, that work on it will be commenced
by the lst OF June 1868. McHenry,
the English capitalist is now in New

the whole route completed in the
shortest time possible, and Judge
Barrett, who conversed with him on
