The Payment of Government Bonds.

Secretary McCuloch has addressed the fol
lowing letter to a gentleman in New York .
"TREAsURY DEPARTMENT, Oct 7, 1867.
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 4th in
slant is received. Too much importance is
attached to the utterance to which you refer.
The people of the United States are all
sound upon the question of the preservation
of the national faith as they were upon the
question of the preservation of the Union
l consider the faith of the Government
pledged to pay the five-twenty bonds when
they are paid in coin.
There need be, think, no apprehension
that they Will be called in at the expiration
of five 90 years from their respective dates.
and paid in United States notes.
THE United States notes were issued
under the pressure of great necessity, and
are, by authority of Congress, being rapidly
withdrawn from circulation. No more can
he issued under existing laws, nor can be-
lieve that any considerable number of the
Members of Congress would favor an adj
ditional issue for any purpose whatever,
much less tor the purpose of paving bonds
in violation of the express understanding
under which they were negotiated.
The policy of contracting the circulation
of United States notes, adopted by Congress,
and being steadily pursued by the Secretary,
should of itself, even if the honor of the
nation were not involved in the question,
satisfy holders that fve-twenty bonds will
not be called in and paid before maturity in
a deprecated currency
Very truly, yours,
H. McCULLOCH,
Secretary"

| The last New Y ork papers bring US further
particulars of the recent elections in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Iowa. In Ohio, General
Hayes, Republican, is no doubt elected Gov
ernor by two thousand majority, though the
Democrats have carried the Legislature by a
small majority. The constitutional amend
ment comforting suffrage upon the col
ored people, was coupled with clause dis
franchising all deserters from the Union
armies, and both propositions have been de-
feated by the people of Ohio. There were
other side issues, which were also fatal to the
harmony and success of the Republicans in
this campaign-such as Sunday laws, &c
Besides, we have no doubt in some instan-
ces, candidates of the party were not per-
sonally the most available men before the
people.
The Republicans of Ohio are more deter
mined in defence Of their principles to-day
than ever before. They will certainly over
whelm their opponents who are really aston
ished at their success, in the next contest
Revolutions never go backward.
The result in Pennsylvania is still I'M
known. It was an election for Judge of
State Supreme Court-we believe, and really
it seems did not excite any great attention.
until Unexpectedly the Democrats have made
some gains. 1t is said that three thousand
fraudulent Democratic votes were cast in
Philadelphia. This discovery is vouched
for on good authority. There is also proof
of money having been offered by the same
partizans, for the purpose of controlling
votes. Our Republicans friends can perceive
the means used by the Democrats to carry
Philadelphia. and understand why they sue
ceeded. .-....
Iowa has given Republican majority of
thirty thousand The entire Republican
ticket is elected. The German population
stood by the Union party like a wall of
granite. 1t is exceedingly unfortunate that
it has been alienated in other States by the
introduction of unnecessary and anti-repub-
lican measures. But as it is, there is little
comfort for rebels in the results of these elec-
tions. There is, however, much in them for
the instruction of true Republicans every
where Unavailable, impracticable candi-
dates, oppressive and ridiculous Sunday
laws, DC, a lack of efficient canvassing and
electioneering, and the willy schemes of dis
organizers, contributed more to Copperhead
SUCCESS than any other things. Hereafter let
the party be purged.

w. F. Henderson. ESQ.

The Rebel presses of the State, led by the
Rebel Sentinel of this City, have been teem-
ing for week or two past with a charge of
horse or understanding against Col. w. F.
Henderson, Of Davidson County. We felt
sure, from the first, that the charge was I'M
founded, and we are now prepared on the
authority of three of the best citizens of
Davidson to brand this charge as it deserves.
The facts are, that about two years ago
man named Glover stole mule from man
named Darr, of Lexington. Glover took
the mule to High Point, some twenty five or
thirty miles, and sold it to David Hender-
son, brother of Col. Henderson. The thief
was unprecedented, plead guilty, and was
whipped for it. Not long since Col. Hen
dcrson, Agent of the Bureau, required Darr,
from whom the mule was stolen, to do JUS
tice to a colored man in the matter of wages,
when Darr threatened he would have re-
venge. The result was the bill of indict-
ment against Col W. F. Henderson, charging
him with completely in the stealing of the
mule The bill of Indictment was found
by small majority of the grand jury; and
the Foreman of the jury is Of the opinion
that the whole proceeding against Col. H.
was vindictive and retaliatory.
Such, in brief, is true statement of the
case. This is another specimen of the
depths of meanness to which Rebel leaders
will descend to blast the character of Union
men. Col. II. is the Agent of the Freed
mems Bureau These leaders hate him be-
cause he has the confidence of the govern
ment, and the confidence of the eolored
people, whom he protects in their rights,
and hence these efforts to PROSTATE him by
destroying his pei sonai character.

THE DESIGNS OF THE PREsIDENT-REv-
oLUTIoN AHEAD We copy the following
from recent letter of Col. Forney, over the
signature of /" Occasional" to the Washing
ton Chronicle:
"But Copperhead victory now is the
victory of the traitors in the South, and,
more than ALL the victory of their ready and
wicked tool, the traitor in the Presidential
chair. His scheme of revolution has been
carefully developed and boldly procaimed-
You need not be told again what you have
been told thousand times, that he who
hath done so much evil in spite Of a popu
lar rebuke, will not hesitate when encourage
ed by a popular endorsement. The rebel
papers re-established in the South by his
consent, daily predict that the day Will come
when their influence will be recognized and
cured in the National Councils, and the for
eign enemies of our Government have been
equally free to prophesy that unless this is
conceded the Republic will soon be divided
and destroyed. All these calculations were
cherished and avowed during the successful
progress of reconstruction, and while the
people were voting large Republican major
tiles. Let Pennsylvania and Ohio de-
clare against the Republican party, and you
Will not have long to wait for combined
movement on the part of johnson, the rebels
in the South, and the Copperheads in the
North, cheered on by their natural allies,
the tyrants of Europe. They are fully pre-
pared: The object of the military organiza-
tions in Maryland, under the auspices of
Swami. is no longer disguised, however it
may be denied by unauthorized newspapers
johnson and his associates believe that in
the event of another rising the people of the
old free States would either be divided into
conflicting armed bodies or would quietly
allow the rebel States to return to Congress
with their Senators and Representatives, and
also that no successful attempt could be
made to prevent the contamination of this
plot, with Swami and his rebel gray coats
guarding the streets of Baltimore and hold
ing the railroad leading to the capitol
l do not believe that any such conspiracy
will succeed The very men who are expect
ed to vote with the Copperheads on Tuesday
next would be the first to show their remorse
for their infatuation by rushing to arms
against the traitor and his Confederates."

Gov. Bragg dweIt in his speech on what
he considered the arbitrary and dangerous
character of the Republican plan of organi-
cation. Nearly every idea he advanced ON
the subject was borrowed from the Reqister
professedy Republican journal. The fact
that Gov. b. objects to our plan of organiza-
ton is good reason for holding on to it,
1t is amusing to hear an old caucus secession
Democrat denouncing conventions and plans
of organization. The Governor defeated the
writer of this in caucus, in 1858, for Senator,
and we were required" to submit on pain
of expulsion from the Democratic party
We did submit. and he took the benefit of
our submission. Now, when it suits his pur-
pose, he takes directly opposite ground. Or
ganization was good for the Democracy
when Gov. Bragg was one of its leaders, but
it is bad for Republicans. The Governor
might tolerate organization among Republi-
cans if he were not certain that the result
would be the final defeat of the secessionists
and the triumph of the party of the nation.

The Negroes will awake from their DEUS
ions, we fear, when it will be too late for
the Conservatives of the South to save them
from determination or expulsion.-PrOgress.
Gov. Bragg made the same threat in his
speech on Saturday. In this case We fear
''the wish is father to the thought" People
who are constantly talking about the exter-
mination OF the colored people, have done
nothing to provoke anything like ill feeling
on the part of the whites, must mean to ex-
terminate or murder them if an opportunity
to do so should present itself But the col
ored people will neither be murdered nor
driven out of the country. If Gov. Bragg
and the Progress believe in the propriety and
practicability of numbering or expelling the
colored people, let them make martyrs of
themselves and name in history by begin
ming the experiment. We can promise them
a lively time in carrying out their principles.

the Republican party is unit 1t will no.
bedivided. Every one who is honestly in
favor of reconstruction under the prcser+
acts of Congress, wishes well to the Renuh
lican party.
We appeal to our Republican friends in
all parts ofthe State to stand together like
wall of iron. Let them follow no new or fa,so
lights, but keep their eyes steadily fixed on the
platform and organization of the March and
September Conventions. Nominate vopr
candidates, friends, in full and fair conveD-
tons or meetings, and then stick to them
and elect them. Vote for the nominees. Re
certain to nominate no man who is not ~,
open and bold Republican. If man hest
tates to stand by you and espouse your prip.
ciples, do not trust him. Above all in or-
der to ensure full vote and complete r.;
umph, cultivate harmony and good FEELING
among yourselves.

as voter, has taken a solemn oath to sup
port the reconstruction acts and to " encOur-

them?

corrupt OF crazy. In either case they arenot
to be trusted. Avoid them as you would

such principle. If men are good enough TO
come to Tennessee and encounter the cold
and heat and mud and rains of our climate

rebellion, they are good enough. when quail

want Northern capital Nerthern enterprise

to take fair proportion of Northern poll
ticians But yield to no man in my con-
tempt for that class of Northern men who
come among us. and. for the sake of posi-
ton and patronage, abandon their honest
sentiments and become Rebel sympathizers.

Gov. Bragg dwelt in hisspeech with much
emphasis on the fact that manhood or color
ed suffrage has been voted down in Ohio
But he was careful not to tell the people the
whole truth on the subject. He did not tell
them that two hundred thousand Republic
cans voted for colored suffrage, and that
two hundred and thirty thousand of his
Democratic friends voted against it The
colored people would have precious little
liberty of any kind if they had to depend
on Gov. Bragg and the Democrats for it. If
Gov. Bragg had been disposed to deal can
didly with the colored people he would have
told them that the only friends they have in
Ohio are the Republicans, and that, though
they failed on this occasion by a small vote
to give them suffrage, they will be certain
to secure it to them at the next election.

The Progress is naturally indignant at the
manner in which the late Rebel meeting in
this City ignored the Northern Democracy
Speaking of the congratulation in the reso-
luton over the recent elections North, it
says: -.... ...
4" This congratulation was well-timed and
appropriate, but the triumphs referred to be-
long to the Democratic party, as such, and
manliness required that it should be so sta
stedly specifically. We denounce this cir
cumlocution as unworthy of the times and
detrimental to harmony among those who
could unite as one man. 1t smacks too much
of disposition to withhold from that party
the only hope of the country-its just need
of praise. Ohio and Pennsylvania were car
ried by the recognized national Demo-
cratic party-nO Conservative" about it."
Does the Progress suppose that such old
antediluvian fossils as Mr.. Husteds can ever
bring themselves to endorse any thing done
by 'the Democracy? Does that paper look
for "manliness," or honesty, or a spark of
patriotism in that quarter2 These hoary-
headed traitors will use /" the Democracy" to

their sleeves at it, and regard no person as
