ceeding Is based familiar to the public viz. Tho
confinement OF Burns in one of the cells OF the Fifth
ward station house one night last week for hts
fusa to go out patrol duty when ordered by tho
Captain so to do, he having the previous day been
reduced from the position oil Ioundsman by
the Commissioners. Some political feeling
has been sought to he introduced into
the matter, IL being charged on Burns be-
half that the action of the Commissioners was in
duced because or Burns attending democratic ban
raising in the Fifth ward; but this allegation
very considerably altered by the statement on the
other side that Burns had obtained leave OF absence
on the plea OF sickness and was by the Captain

THE Copperhead press have for
months represented that immense
numbers of white men were disfran-
chised in the South, some of them as
serting that in several States a major.
ity of that class were denied the right
of voting. According TO figures re-
Gently sent to Congress by Gen. Grant,
we are told that in Virginia the whole
number OF whites registered is 40, Ill,
and the whole number who failed to
register, judging from the tax list and
other data, is 1888, making the total
white male population of voting
age l86,454. There is nothing to
show with certainty the number
disfranchised, but it must fall consider
ably short of the number failing to
register. Yet assuming that every man
registered who could do so under the
laws, less than twelve per cent. are dis
franchised. If only seventy-fiye per
cent. of those who did not register are
disfranchised, or 10 ,26S, then less than
nine per cent. OF the whole are disfran-
chised. This is probably very near the
exact uBuEes III NOLtA NAhOA4h1 SAS
number of whites of voting age is
about 126, 200, of whom 11,6s6 are dis
franchlsed, or a little more than nine
per cent. In South Carolina the figures
are: Whole number OF whites 57,S75
disfranchised, SPA, or little more
than fourteen per cent. Georgia
Whole number of whites, ia, ,S32; dis
franchised, 10000 or q little less than
nine per cent. The reports from the
other Rebsl States do not show the
number disfranchised. We are told
that in Florida but few are disfran.
chised; and nearly all were registered
and have voted. tits altogether proba.
BILE that the proportion disfranchised
In the other States is no greater than In
the four States above named. The aver
age in those States is but tritile over
ten per cent. That is, one In ten of the
white men of the Southern States are
disfranchised on account of their par
ticipation In Rebellion.

Tho Money NInrRet.

FROM the EAuductl1h2d Lcu9cT.
There was a decidedly better feeling
in Government securities on Saturday
1t seems hardly possible that in the
present plethoric money market that
Government loans should not regain
their recent advance, and go even high
er. They are generally esteemed the
only means OF employing surplus capt-
tai with reasonable assurapce that the
principal may be reclaimed at once.
The q1ickened movement on Saturday
may be probably taken as the turn In
the market from the lowest point up
ward. There is Il good enquiry for the
$40 bonds of 1867. The interest and
principal of the debt due on the lst
proximo, now but half month OF,
some forty millions, including the in
terest on the 5-20s of 1867 and (new)
1865. the interest and principal on the
6s of 1867 and 1865 Mexican war bonds)
the interest on the Oregon war debt,
and the interest on the IS of 1881 and
the 5S of 1871 and 1874, cannot fail TO
tell on the price OF gold
as well as of bonds. The
principal OF the Mexican war bonds t6S
Of IS6i-GS) is some IS, 200 600. and may
or may not be called in by holders.
These bonds are payable in twenty
years after their issue at the pleasure
of the United States. In regard to the
1867 bonds, the twenty years expired
December 81, 1867, and holders were
permitted to retain the bonds, with the
principal payable on demand, with in
tereSt up TO the last interest day. For
these and the bonds of lS6S the Gov.
ernmeut will pay I03 in gold, on the LIST
of July, and at any time thereafter up
to the next interest day, January l,
1869, but il presented for payment be-
tween interest days, no liability for in
terest is deemed 10 have accrued, These
bonds would be worth lii in currency,
including the interest, at the present
rate of premium on.gald. After to-day
the June 1905 are payable in currency,
and cease to draw interest; though II
mailed to-day will be received at the
Treasury within reasonable time in
exchange for $40 bonds.

PHILADELPHIA people are vainly
looking about for certain genteelly
dressed woman of about thirty-hve
wears OF age, who has been causing
a good deal OF trouble TO deal
ers in Chestnut street. She isn't
personal gamer by her prnnks,
but seems to suffer from a mania for
shopping. The reader will imagine
himself the keeper of a dry goods store
selling an intelligent buyer thirty or
forth dollars worth of goods, which he
cuts to her order of all the lengths she
desires, and as many different lengths
as there are pieces. The buyer doesn't
take them but orders them sent with the
bill to a given address, only to be sent
back with the goods and a message that
no such purchase had been made by
the occupant of the house. The result
is that the seller finds himself in the
possession of lot of "remnants" only
salable at a large reduction In one
case such bill of goods was paid for
