pEpUDLATyON III PRACTICE.

We happen 10 be the owner of S5 Govern
ment note-in other words, Greenback. On
the face thereof is the direct promise to pay.
and on the back is the following:
"US1ED STATES oFeAMERIeA.This note is al, Lega, nn
Tender for all debts public and private except duties On
abe FOR D. SIR per cent Ttcenty Years Bonds redeem
able at pleasure OF the United States aiter i've years
Turning to the latest quotations OF the
| stock market, we find that U. S. Five-Twentles
are five to seven per cent. pren'um-that 49,
| he who has Greenbacks, and wishes to ex-
| change them for Five-Twenty Bonds, must
give One Hundred and Five to One Hundred
and Seven Dollars in Greenbacks for every
800 of the Five-Twenties.
How is thisf Does the Government refuse to
fulfill the stipulation printed on the back OF
its notesf A private debtor who should refuse
TO give his note payable five to twenty years
hence as should suit his convenience, for debt
already due, would be considered rather slow {;
but, if he had expressly stipulated on its face
40 to liauidate his debt. and should nevertheless
refuse TO do it. would he not be esteemed q
barefaced swinderf

tee an effectual check to initiation henceforth
if the Treasury will simply fulfill its own
voluntary stipulation aforesaid. Tho green
backs being clearly a forced loan, it Is the
more incumbent on their issuers TO fulfill to
the letter their engagements.
We call the attention of Congress. and Of
the Secretary of tho Treasury, to this appa-
rently rcpudiated promise. II the Secretary is
not now expressly empowered TO fulfill 1t, it is
his plain duty TO ask Congress for the needed
authority. and it ia the imperative duty of
Congress TO give il. Mr.. John Sherman, we
believe, is now Chairman of the Senate's FL

act, we call on Mr. Fessenden-whom the pub
lie confides in as instinctiyely hostile 20 lying
by the ream-to institute the needed legisla-
ton.

Resolutions in favor of recognizing the Irish
as belligerents were offered in the House yes
terday by Mr.. DOnnelly of Minnesota. They
assert that az the British Government were
over hasty in recognizing our own Rebels, and
are still disinclined to pay us any indemnity
for AnglO-Rebel outrages, the United States
has no reason to be slow in recognizing the
belligerent claims of the Irish. The resolutions
aver that the Irish people are enlisted in an
effort to establish Republic on the basis of
universal suffrage and the separation Of Church
and State. Mr.. Stevens objecting, aud the
House refusing to suspend its rules, the rcso-
lutiOns went over

-Four hundred and seventy-five thousand dol
lars is a large tax Oh the city for pipe-laying,
and for water meters Thsis the amount as it
stands in the city tax levy, and we commend
the sensible objections to its striking excess made
in the Board of Councilmen yesterday by Mr..
Roberts. We agree with him that the amount
might be far better expended in increasing the
water supply than in providing meters to pre-
vent its flow. Our supply of water ia notori-
ously scarce, and the CrOton Board should give
us another main. not to be tapped above Canal
st. But this is matter for the Croton Board

A correspondent expresses the hope "to sec
"the day wien, in England. Lord. or the son.
cor heir of Lord, is declared ineligible to a,
"seat in the Housesof Commons" for, he says,
"they are all represented in the Upper House,
"and should no more be admitted into the,
"Lower one than are CommOners into theirs"
The exclusion Of Lord, or son of Lord
from the House of Commons would be con-
trary to the general usage of European Mon
arches. A House of Commons which should
exclude the Lords OF any other class of citi-
zens would cease to be body representing
the whole people. The Radical party, in
Europe, as far as we know, has never adyo-
Gated such a scheme, but rather aimed at the
total abolition of the House OF Lords.

odium as champions of monopoly and extortion.
We trust a time is at hand when we can take
distinct issue with those who do thus rail at and
denOunce us, and have the matter fairly tried
before and decided by the American people
Whenever that time shall come, we confidently
anticipate that our adversaries-The Sun con-
spicuOus among them-wll dodge the great
issue of Protection VS.. Free Trade, and seek
to gain verdict by pcttifogging details and
Juggling side-shows They will try to make
ont that the act or bill in question gives too
much here or too little there, and thus carry
the jury on a side issue, as in Silas Wrght's

The condition of the Harlem Railroad cut
upon Fourth-ave between Seventy and
Ninty seventh sts., and the duty of the railroad
company in the premises, will be argued before
the Railroad Committee of the Senate to-day,
and will be considered by the Senate Commit
tee upon Municipal Affairs tomorrow. We
have already explained the very dangerous and
dsgraceful condition of that portion of the
Harlem Railroad-or rather of that portion of
what should be II wide and handsome avenue,
but which, by the culpablc negligence of the rail
road corporation, il made n continuous pit fall.
For great part of the distance between the
points abOye-named there is no protecting wall
ut the edges of the cut. the depth of which
varies from 10 to so feet. At late meet
lug of the property holders TO take action
upon the condition of the cut, one patrol
man of the Metropolitan Police force made
affidavit that he had, within the nine
years last past, assisted in conveying to the
SatiOn-lIouse the bodies of from eight to
twelve persons who had been injured 10y fall

nearly 80, from the fall. aud that ho knew Of

The Speaker of the House is in difficulty
about the mileage due to members. There Is
a law directing that mileage shall be paid at
the beginning of each regular session, and
the present is a regular session. But the
law by which this session was called ex-
pressly provided that no mileage should be
paid to members of this Congress who were
also members of tho last-that is, no con-
structive mileage. We cannot imagine what
difficulty can DO found in obeying the latter
provision. 1t is, so far as it goes, a repeal OF
the former law, and is most just effort to
put an end to certain part of the stealing
which has long gone under the name OF mile
age. We hope to see it obeyed, and not

line would amply pay for it's construction; and 1t
ought to pay fair dividends the year after its
opening. Our City has been dragged into every
swindling job known to corrupt municipall-
ties except that of subscribing to or investing
in railroads; and we insist on maintaining this
exception. Let those who want a road up the
west side Of the Hudson obtain it as those who
wanted one on the east side did-by
putting their hands into their own pockets
empty and taking them out full OF the needful.
We know that is an antiquated fashion, which
seems exceedingly slow to this age of fast
financieIs; but We doubt the success of any

Legislature; but, having thus advertised your

The supplementary Reconstruction bill offered
by Mr.. Wilson of Iowa has passed the House
by strict party vote of III Yeas to q Nays.
1t provides for the registration of voters pre-
cedent to the election Of reconstruction con-
ventions in the South. The registration will
take place under military direction, and in
clude only those who can take specific oath OF
loyalty and are qualified by the act Of March 2.
Within thirty days after registration, tho COM
manding general may order an election for
delegates to form State Constitutions, which
being adopted by majority Of the registered
voters, the State may be admitted to Congress.
MIR. Wood opposed the bill, because it gave the
Initiative power to the military. AS it stands,
the measure is intended simply to supply the
omissions of the Reconstruction act, and fixes
tho most important details of reorganization.

Is there ever to be an end of tho "Eouali
cation of bOunties7 Mr.. WiIliams of Indiana
introduced in the House yesterday one bounty
bill Mr.. Schenck of Ohio another; Mr.. perbam
of Maine added a third, and there were two
more bills to take money out of the Treasury
and put it into the pockets of the soldiers.
Mr.. Schenck said last session that he thought
the bill he was then engineering would do to
begin with. 1t was estimated to take about
$4OOOOO,OOO out of the Treasury. Mr.. Banks said
he did not care whether it took S400, 100000 or
$500 200, ,OOO-he was for opening the doors and
telling the soldiers to help themselves The
natural fruit of this wild talk is the present
crop of additional bills. We suppose the en-
tbusiasm Of these gentlemen will stop some
where, but we fear not till they see the bot

As the communication between the Cities Of
Mexico and Vera Cruz was still. according TO
the latest accounts, interrupted by the Liberal
troops, our news from tho interior of Mexico
is very meager. The Imperialist papers claimed
extraordinary victories by Miramon, Marquee,
and Mejia, but the adherents Of the Empire
did not appear TO put much faith in Che re-
ports, and were leaving the country by the
hundred. We are still without news as TO the
further intentions of Macmillan. The latest
advces from MatamOros state that Maximilian
was at Queretaro at the head of 10000 men,

OBITUARY.
EDWARD RuGGLEs. N. d.

EDWARD RUGGLES, M. d.
DIR Rugglss died suddenly on Sunday morning, at
his house in Brooklyn, aged nearly 30 years. After
going through the usual course of medical studies in
this country, DIR. Rugges finished his preparation
for his profession in Paris, by visiting the hospitals
and attending lectures. On his return home he be-
gan practice in Brooklyn, and became well known TO
that community as a skillful physician. He was,
however. better known as the painter Of the "Rug-
gles' Gems the name given by the agent who sold
them 10 certain small pictures which pleased por-
ton of the public and the sale Of which is said to
have been considerable. 1t would be idle 10 waste
criticism on these productions Originally the en-
pOynent of the leisure hours snatched from q toll
some and exhausting profession, they served %
aInuse DR. Ruggles and his friends, and it was only
the ill-udged opportunities of these friends that IL
naIy induced him abandon that profession and turn
this amusement into a serious occupation. The pub
JIG gained nothing by this change, and we regret )r
Rugges death, not because we have lost an artist,
but because an excellent man and worthy citizen
has gone 10 his rest.

Mr. Kelley thinks the National debt ought
not to be paid by this generation, but by the
next-not by those who contracted it, but by
their posterity. His effort to get the approval
of the House to proposition which was not
much better than qualified reputation failed

hint that this House is trifle less disposed
than the last toward "wild cat" legislation on
finances

months.
Farewell to thee, dear Jennie,
Thou art gone to be at rest;
The masters summons calleth thee
To the mansions OF the blest,
To Join with the redeemed ones,
And with them ever stand
In spotless robes around his throne,
A radiant, holy band.
Farewell to thee, dear Jennie.
The cross thou hast laid down
To bear the palm in glory,
And wear the victOr's crown
In that land Of peace and gladness,
A joyful, happy guest,
"Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest"
Farewell to thee, dear Jennie,
Thou art in heaven now;
We can't forget thy lovely form,
Nor yet thy pleasant brow.
Thou vert good to the afflicted
And kind to the oppressed,
And thou art now rewarded,
Thy soul is with the blest.
We will think of thee, dear Jennie,
As we journey on our way,
And hope to join again with thee
In realms Of endless day,
Where care can never enter
Nor sorrow rend the breast
"Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest"
