MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 10:

The PUBLIC DEBT.-The Newark Adver-
tiser thinks it would be very desirable to have
the public debt placed in a better shape than
it is at present. 1t says: "As it is now we
have some eight or ten forms of security, bear
ing different rates of interest," and having diff
ferent periods of maturity This embarrasses
legislation. Ifthey were all consolidated into
single form, bearing five or six per cent coin
interest, it would be comparatively easy to
carry it and bring about practical resumption
of specie payment. The annual interest," would
be fixed sum the sinking fund could also re-
quire its specific appropriation annually, and,
these provided for, Congress would then find
itself face to face with the revenue remaining
for current expenditures. 1t could count up
how much money it had to spend; while SC
long as we are busy in swapping off one form Of
debt for another, that is very difficult pro
cess" 1t seems to US there is wisdom 10 this
suggestion.

EMIGRATION The New York Times says ::
Nearly all the German, Norwegian and Swiss
emigrants, who are now arriving daily at this
port, push directly for the States of the far
West The papers of Wisconsin and Miuneso-
ia, Missouri and Kansas are daily reporting
their arrival, and their settlement among those
OF their kinsmen who have preceded them. !"
We must get some of those 'kinsmen'' here,
if we would have immigration, too We may
mention, in this connexion that the statements
10 the newspapers show almost every day sales
of lands in different sections of Virginia. to
persons from the Northern States. In the
counties adjacent to this place, farms continue
to be purchased by Northern farmers. who are
to commence, at once, the cultivation and
improvement of the lands.

seems, Polish mechanic, who went to Paris
from Belgium with the purpose of killing the
Gar. This design was frustrated by the bnrst-

made against the life of the Russian Emperor,
the preceding one having been made last year
by an impoverished Russian nobleman who be-
longed to the ultra revolutionary party of Rus
sia. The coronation Of the Emperor of Aus

or adopt constitutions such as Congress may
prescribe; or to subject the civil functonaries
OF State to the paramount authority of

coored suffrage In the Southern States as the
condition OF restoration? We can fiad no such
authority, and never could nor have we ever
