The Journal Of Commerce is a particu-
larly ont spoken paper, and in none OF its
derostA6 Sfss more 30 than in its financial
column. In its money article OF Thursday
It has the following:
"Our correspondent Inquirer asks
what are the obligations Of the govern
form, as properly payable in greenbacks ?
We answer, all but the ten forty bonds,
tho law for which provides that they be
paid in coin. The interest of all the gold
bearing bonds, fve-twentics equally with
others, is payable in coin by special en-
actmcnt, and therefore no change is pro-
posed in that respect. Neither iye-twen-
ties or ten-forties were exchanged. any
portion of them, for gold, as our friend
appears to suppose. The Oldest bear date
May LIST 1862, and specie payments were
suspended at the close of 1861. A few
Treasury notes taken when gold was at
par. were afterwards funded, and these
bonds may therefore be said to have been
paid in gold. The whole Of that transac-
ton was reputation of the worst charac-
ter, since the holders Of the notes should
have been rendered the face value in gold
at maturity. We denounced it at the time,
but the very papers now making SO much
fuss ,about the 4nestion defended the trans
action becattse it was done under Mr..
Lincoln's administration and called us
hard names for our advocacy Of the right.
Both the Times and Tribune Of this city
were engaged in that ~disreputablc work,
and sustained the Treasury Department
solslySoA gpdtU grounds, advocating the
very thing then which they are dcnounc-
ing today"
No one viii dispute the facts that the
Journal Of Commerce, and the facts admit
ted, the conclusion is as clear as it is ir-
resistible, that il is reputation that the
Republicans dislike or %denounce, but any
thing which benefits the people, or which
does not tend directly to put into the pock-
cts Of the few money they are not entitled
to. st the expense of the hard working and
pluAdered umany. Whether they do a
thing Srzsdonnots do It, the Republican
leaders always talk turkey" to them
selves.

with Seymour's nomination, and the tele-

Seymour and Blair the Southern Confcderacy
