Persons living on Summer street, south
Of DemumbraDe, are somewhat displeased
because houses in their immediate neigh

characters. They seem to think that own
ers of property in respectable localities,
owe it to society to be little more care,

such perfect Jam IL rarely ever witnessed.
The first feature of interest in tia enter
tainment was the new patent Feloeipedes,
about which everybody has heard SO much,
and which few have seen. The banding
of this two wheeled vehicle was wonderful,
and sstonished everybody, and If every
man in the world was a Hanlon, the We
hicle would come into general use. Thai
horse is not only fast traveller, but tbers
would be no feed required. rrtg
The burlesque operate sketch by Mr.
and Mrs. r. A. Brennan created unboundet
enthusiasm. The limitations of the leading
operate singers were exceedingly good.
Pau, the great Russian athlete, gave hi
act upon the flying trapeze, which wal
almost thrilling in its daring. He leap
in variety Of ways from one trapeze t.
another, and swings and leaps from on'
side Of the hall to the other. The act alto
gether is unrivaled in daring and bril-
liancy, and was received with the creates
applause. 10 -i.a5. s.-s.- 7...ei ,-

National Integrity.

Since the discussion Of the subject how
the national debt shall he paid arose, not
withstanding the elamor Of politicians OF
the repudiatiye school, We have ever held
that our obligations should he paid in the
only acknowledged currency Of the na-
tons Of the world-coin; and nov, that
we notice am effort is being made ia th'
Western States and some others, "a either
evade meeting this question in face-to-
face manner or openly take ground
against IL. We cannot ses such movement
going on without entering our protest
against IT,
Whatever may b. the literal interprr'
tation Of the law authorizing the issue of
United States bonds, /, canno, reasonably
be doubted that the intent Of Congress,
men in framing such statute, by which
money was received into the national cot
fers to conduct war against armed ,rai
tors,-rendered il impossible for the gov,
eminent to repudiate the debt SO created
by the indirect method of payment in an
irredeemable currency, as is now pro-
posed in some quarters. This policy OF
Congress has been endorsed by all Secre.
taries of the Treasury since the existence
Of rebellion forced upon the government
the necessity Of creating a debt, inolud.
ing Messrs. Chase, Fessenden and McCul.
Tough, and the people. believing that ma
tional obligations would bo met, as indi.
vidual ones, according To terms OF con-
tract, have always as unsparingly re.
sponded to the calls of the government
for financial, as they did for muscular aid
in the hours Of its greatest trials.
Are we to say TO the holders Of
government bonds, who paid for them in
current funds at the time of their pur.
chase, and run the risk of their deprccia-
ton in value, now that the war is ended
and our national prestige established, tina,
they must take deprecated currency in
payment of them, while the obligations
which they hold are redeemable in coin
at the expiration of certain period We
say no! The American people are not so
lost 10 honor as to tolerate such transac.
tion, and viii not listen to reconsideration
Of it. Reputation must not become
synonym with us. National faith and
honor alike demand an honest payment
OF the national debt. and the miserable
subterfuge of paying it in currency is as
false in theory as it is dishonest in prac-
tice II is simply method of paying
debt by giving. whom il becomes due.
further promisscry note as payment. Were
such course to be taken by individuals
its illegality would soon be determined bv |
courts of law, and debtors made to re-
spond accordingly.
It is our duty to meet this question
fairly and according to contract terms
Whatever may be the temptation other
yiae, and no matter how alluring the !
prospect may seem, we advocate the pay
ment of national obligations in gold and |
silver, or their equivalent.
