salc OF Ten-Forty Bonds-Big Jobs In tho
Treasury Department..
Mr.. Logan called the attention of the House
of Representatives on Thursday to the sales of
the ten-foriy bonds by the Treasury Depart
ment for less premium than that Of the
regular quotations in the New York market
1t appears that nearly eight millions were thus
sold between the 1st Of October, 1867 and the
2lst Of January. Mr.. Logan said he had cal
culated the difference and found that the gov
ernment had lost twenty-four thousand two
hundred and sixty-four dollars, besides the
commission Of one-eighth Of one per cent
given to Jay Cooke 4 Co., amounting to ten
thousand one hundred and seventeen dollars,
making the whole loss thirty-four thousand
four hundred and forty-one dollars. Mr.. Logan
said, also, that he unders ood letter had been
written by Secretary McCulloch to gentle
man controlling national bank, stating that
the Treasury would accept teA-iorties in lieu
Of five-twenties at sighty-seven and half,
while in his report to Congress the Secretary
says they had never been received at higher
rate than eighty-fve. In speaking upon the
subject Mr.. Randall, Of Pennsylvania, de-
nounced the practice of the Secretary OF the
Treasury, and stated that ninety-four thousand
dollars had been paid in commissions in ten
months for the conversion of these bonds.
There was q very feeble attempt to whitewash
Mr. McColloch, but resolution OF inquiry into
his conduct was carried. 1t is the most
astounding thing to see this incapable and
extravsgint Secretary Of the Treasury toler-
ated in his Office for day. His whole conduct
or policy is TO favor such cormorants and
Spectators as Jay Cooke & Co. He acts as il
the Treasury were q fund for their use only
and to make them rich What need to put
ninety thousand dollars or even ten thousand
dollars into the pockets of Jay Cooke Il Co.
for doing what the Treasury itself could do
without any cost? The whole business looks
very suspicious, and the sooner We get another
Secretary of the Treasury the better for the
country.

A Message from Governor Peirpoint
Our late Governor-who is q very amia=
BILE gentleman, with liberal feelings, and
not naturally aggressive-is now operating
under the impulse Of evaporation. General
scHoF1ELD having taken possession Of his
camp, capturing his equipage and State
chair, he has withdrawn to the Piedmont
region and selected the Rapidan as his base
line. Before getting away to his head
quarters, at Mr.. BofTs's house, he sprung
his impeachment mine to blow up General
scHoFELD. The explosion was . little too
late to be early, and little too early to be
late, and was sufficiently bungled to blow q
hole in his own pants and disable some OF
his late followers. So that they were una
BILE to stand up to him in his imminent
deadly breaches.
But the Governor, with admirable dex-
terity, followed the explosion of the i'm
peachment mine with an address to the
people-viz., negroes Of Virginia-'urglng
them to adopt the negro and scallaWag Con-
stitution, which he praises for being an e1-
cellent thing. In this precious paper Go
vernon PE1RPo1NT bids farewell to the con-.
servatism which used to sit 80 well on his
plump, good humored face, and comes out
q demagogue. Manhood suffrage, educa-
ton, and the homestead, are his delight.
1t is quite up to the practice of demagoguery
to recommend that two thousand dollar
homestead clause to the negro who has no
homestead, and who would not be protected
in its possession by the homestead exemp-
ton if he had it. But the especial point of
demagoguery in the Governors little mes
sage is his attack on the Conservatives,
who, he says, swami class government and
the privilege Of oa0ni,y the labor that they
may make the laws" The Governors head
is on wrong it was not put back right after.
being cut off by General soHor1ELD, and
his reasoning faculty is discomposed.
He winds. up. by informing the negroes
that he " may be out of the State for ten or
twelve days." but will return to aid them in
their "good work." 81
Alas! when he returns he will discover
that General ScHoFIELD has outgeneraled
him, and ended his campaign before he had
time to begin it! What will he do? Mr..
Boris big gun has not been fred off for
some time. The Governor may take an
other chance with that. But our advice is
that he seek repose meath the shades of
Marion. His unlucky star is in the ascend
ant. He has done nothing but blunder since
he lost his head.
