it won't hurt her. She has made your home

it cannot possibly lower the national dignity
Gas objected to original war loans abrOad)
now that peace is restored and the resources of
the Treasury proved more than equal to the
support of the public debt. Such stocks have
been repeatedly made in sterling money by
the great empire of Russia, and the principal
and interest, paid in London, as matter of
convenience and economy, without the
slightest notion that it either lowered the
dignity or credit of the Government. In like
manner, some of the loans of Holland, the
wealthiest of the smaller States of Europe ace
provided for in London. And nearly ali the
Turkish and South American State stocks are
not only made payable in London, but were
originally negotiated there.
A correspondent of the Times, a few DAYS
since, placed the advantages of the measure, so
far as it is to affect our foreign exchanges,
before our readers, and it is not necessary to
recapitulate the arguments of this writer or of
the Secretary of the Treasury-the most inn
portant of which looks to the removal of the
great and constant danger to our foreign ex-
changes in heavy drafts upon our gold by the
sudden return of Federal bonds held abroad,
on the recurrence Of financial panics such as
was witnessed in London last May, and on the
outbreak OF wars or serious political complica-
tiOns in Europe.

But Mr.. Johnson's creations are the children Of
military rule and may very properly be de
stroyed by the species of law to which they
owed their existence. Military usurpations
are legitimately dealt with by martial law.
Between the two precedents of reconstruc-
tion-both by the exercise of military power
used however, in the one case under the
authority and restraint of civil law and in
the other case in utter disregard and defiance
of law-our choice is made without hesitation.
A despotsm which claims its origin from a
statute cannot, with any grace, assert it's right
TO exist after the repeal of the statute; but one
which springs from the will of a single man
and is checked, or amplifed by his uncon-
trolled decisions, is capable of indefinite extern
sion and continuance. We shall seek, as far
NAV be possible, to limit the scope and dura-
tion of military rule; but since it was unavoid-
able that it should exist under some cOndi-
tions. we prefer it as enacted by Congress
rather than as established by the President.
We have heretofore spoken of the evil in
fuence of legalized disorder and oppression
such as we believe to exist in the South. The
unavenged massacre at New Orleans, the
applauded murders of Union soldiers in Geor-
gia, the boasted "disappearance" of Northern
men from Texas, the atrocious acquittal of DR..
Watson in Virginia, are but examples of a
state of affairs constituting a precedent more
damaging to republican government than any
period of temporary military rule can be. The
use of armed force to break up such mon
stTosities is no more inconsistent with republi-
can institutions than is the use of the Italian
army to break up Neapoltan brigandage in
consistent with constitutional government.
The more thoroughly the work is done, the
sooner can the ordinary forms of law be re-
stored, and the States be left to govern them
selves, as we shall rejoice to see them do.

Our Public Stocks Abroad.
From the Times.


Mr.. Sherman, of the Senate, has renewed
his commendable effort of last spring to con-
solidate the principal and reduce the rate of
interest of the funded and fundable stocks of
the United States. His new bill aims to pre-
serve the five per cent. principle of the mea-
sure introduced last spring, but in different
forms.
/. The domestic fundholder is TO receive a
gold-bearing sac per cent. stock, subject to a
tax of one per cent. in lieu of all other taxes,
including income, for the support of a sinking
fund, and for no other object, which by COM
pounding will pay off the principal-following
out the original provision of the act of Fe-
bruary 25, 1862. The Sinking Fund Commits
sioners are to be the Chief Justice and the
Secretary of the Treasury. Their authority
to purchase the existing six per cent stocks
for the Sinking Fund, and the separate au-
thority of the Secretary to effect their exchange
for the consolidated debt, extends to l05 per
cent. or 5 per cent premium.
2. The foreign fundholders in the existing 6
per cents are invited to accept per cent.
consolidated stock, free of all drawback or
taxation; principal and interest payable in
their own currency, and at their own financial
capitals. The difference to be allowed on such
exchanges not to exceed l05 for the 5-2Os, and
new sales of such foreign consolidated B per
cents are authorized by the Secretary OF the
Treasury. -,
1t is understood that Mr.. Sherman will not
move his bill at the present session OF Con-
gress, but it is possible that something may
be done to-day with the second Cor foreign)
| provision, as separate proposition, III the
| House of Representatives. The Secretary has
been and is very solictous on the subject, ana
urged the measure with much earnestness IN
his December report to Congress. 1t hnds
favor, too with our New York bankers OF
English and Continental connections, many ol
whom were most active and LIBERAL as well as
eminently useful, at the most critical period o.
our war for the suppression of Rebellion, IN
introducing and rapidly extending the sales OF
United States 5,20s in Europe to the RELIEF o.
the foreign exchanges here, when the absence
of such relief might have greatly aggravated
the high premium on gold.
And as the present measure does not imply
proposition to raise foreign loan, but sim
ply to exchange or fund existing obligations
it is wholly free from the Objections made Il
borrowing money directly abroad during tn,
war. 1t carries with it no sense Of disoredit--
ON the contrary rightly presumes that ou
great Government ought to and can reduc
the rate of gold interest TO i've Per cen. Ian,

Proposed Diplomatic Reform.

From The tribune.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
having their attention turned to changes in
the rank of our diplomatists, we commend
them to an exhaustive examination of the
whole subject. 1t never seems to have oc-
CURED to them, nor to our legislators gene
rally, that the United States have really no
place in the diplomatic system of Europe
That system is one established to guard and
protect the relative interests of European
powers among themselves. Europe is per-
petually undergoing changes which disturb
the balance of power among the peoples and
potentates. One power is losing, or another
gaining or a third changing its conditions
almost constantly. The diplomatists are the
picket-guard on watch for these alterations
and changes, both actual and threatened, and
whose business it is to report daily to head
quarters. This gives them occupation, often
Interesting, and sometimes important. They
thus become a body which, though in some
sense composed of rivals, is nevertheless a
harmonious body in the main, and from iden-
a;t Of pursuit, has strong feeling Of esprit d
corps. 80.
Then the law of their organizatiS changes

them familiar with one another Thus the
body requires ahomogeneity of character The
diplomatist is gentlemen who lives and dies
in his profession. He knows it in gross anc
he knows it in detail. He enters it before the
mast, climbs to be captain, and dies an ad
miral.
We see in this what European diplomacy
means, and is. 1t is aprofessiOn and it means
a watchful care Of small, sometimes great, in
ternational interests; an observation of loca
movements and schemes, which are seldom
60 isolated in their effects as not to impinge ol
outside relationships. Diplomatists are tn
Guardians of little treaty stipulations, tradin
arrangements, political movements, small com
nlaints and rival designs, growing out Of con
tiguous possessions, old agreements, new re
co6struotions; all arising from the famil
Cbaraoter of European interests. Europe
