PAY THE PUBLIC DEBT. The pro-
position to pay the national debt I'M
mediately-all in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
to be meeting with general and uni
vcrsal favor. The following, from
the Washington (Ohio) Register, is a
fair specimen of the voice of the
country press. 1t says:
We are in favor of paying off the
public debt in grcenbacks. If thoy
are good enough for the farmers,
mechanics and business men of the
nation, why are they not good enough
for the rich men Of the country? If
the public debt was paid off in green
backs, th0entire wealth of the country
would be brought upon the tax dupli-
cate, and every man would be required
to pay taxes according to his wealth.
There would be no rich men exempt
from taxation, while drawing interest
in gold on Government bonds, while
the masses of the people were doing
business with rag currency. The
nation would save millions every year
in interest, and millions more III pre-
miums upon gold wherewith to pay
interest to bond-holders. The taxes
of the people would be lessened, and
all the greenbacks destroyed by acci-
dent or other cause would inure to
the benefit OF the Government. Pay
the public debt immediately-pay it
In greenbacks, and let all the citizens
have the same kind OF money and all
pay taxes alike.

of avoiding all mischief likely to

OF the postmasters in South Caro-
lina, says Northern exchange, lately
commissioned, forty are ladies, and
of these forty, thirty-two arc single.
This is another indication of the
"good time coming" of woman s
equality. That there are many avo-
cations in which women might serve
with equal advantage to the public
with the men, we have never doubted
Bnt long established belief in the
inordinate curiosity of the sex, and
an immemorial scepticism of the
ability of woman to keep Il secret,
have combined to make it problemati-
cal whether the post Office is, in all
respects. proper field for their exer-
tions. Horrid men will not be per-
fectly confident that the fair post
masters (they are not known as post
mistresses mt the Post Office Depart
menU will not find out what is in the
letters, and afterwards retail it as
village gossip; and then, the old iok e
about deranging the mntleS is familiar
to everybody. We can imagine no
sevcrcr trial Of official virtue than n
young girl, serving rs postmaster,
being called upon to sort and hand
over to her lover and her rival the
letters of a tender correspondence;
and if the fair South Carolinians can
stand this test, they may safely be
entrusted with the right of suffrage,
and with the duty of Legislation into
the bargain.

BRAZIL. cable report which
we had some two months ago of the
abolition of slavery in the Empire of
Brazil, was subsequently found to be
in advance of the event. But the
emancipation movement has gone so
far that the Emperor Don Pedro II,
III his recent speech ut the opening
of the Brazilian Chambers, gave ut
terance to the following sentence:
''The servile element of the Empire
cannot fail to merit opportunely your
consideration, acting in o manner to
care for the high interests attached to
emancipation, by respecting actual
property, and without giving n pro-
found shock to our main source of
neutrality-suspicious." The differ
cnt tenure on which negro slavery
exists i'll Brazil from that on which it
formerly existed in the United States,
may be Judged by the fact that the
head of the State can utter himself
in this way. Imagine one of our
Presidents speaking in this way prior
to 1860. 1t may be considered ccr-
tain that Brazilian emancipation will
be effected peaceably and without
difliculty.-Ne'c Yorh, Times.
