!. 1t is an encouraging fact that United States
bonds are now ten per cent. higher in the Lon
don market than they were year ago. This
advance IS due partly to the gradual awakening
OF English capitalists to the real advantages Of
our securities, but mainly to the increased con-
fidence not only in our ability but in our prr-
pose to pay our debts in full. We do not dis

Con YOU WANT To- The speech of Sir
John Young, Governor General Of the Domin.
ion Of Canada, at the banquet at Quebec, on
the 15th inst, continues to be the subject of
Comment by the Canadian press AS w6stat-
ed Yesterday Sir John told the Canadians
frankly that they need. no longer regard fham-
selves as coerced to remain dependency of
Great Britain, and that the mother country
was governed by entirely disinterested consid-
erations in continuing her rule over a portion Of
America This slateuiept of the CAGE liberal
journals, like the Toronto Globe, consider Of
feusiveiy patFonizing. They regard the advan-
tages of the relations exisipg between Canada
and England as mutual. The Globe declares,
moreover, that independence, which Sir John
is willing to concede, means nothing more nor
less than annexation. The Globe says that the
Governor-G General, though meaning well, puts
hiniselfin the position of the host who should
say to his guests on a stormy night, "stay here,
if you wish; but fyou elect to 60 shall be
equally pleased" In th 1t case, the Globe sig-
nifcantly adds, II the guests should take the
hint and depart the host could not fairly COM
plain that his remarks were misunderstood.
The ADVENTURES OF JUDGE.-Judge Pur-
cell, Judge Of the Orphans Court in Washing
ton, was recently made the subject of a local
notice in the columns of the National Republi-
can. The article stated in substance that the
Judge haG made himself SO obnoxions at Bla-
densburg BY drinking and insulting ladies that
he was ducked and suffered other iLdignities
at the hands Of the people Of that village The
article was laughable in the, extreme and was
made the subject Of libel suit against Mr..
Shepherd, one of the reporters Of the Republi-
can. The trial before the police judge, Mr..
Walters, mnst have been the most interesting
since the celebrated caring before Dogberry
Both the parties and their council utterly ig-
nored the authority of the magistrate, and
conducted matters after q most original fash
ion: Amusing stories are sometimes told of
country justices, but we have never seen any
thing equal to the proceedings Of this metro
politan magistrate.

The visitor to Portland-a city almost entire
ly recovered from the effects of the great fire
OF three years ago-will at once be struck, not
only by the building activity of the town gem
orally, but by the special care and liberality
shown in the erection of churches and public
buildings. The new City Hall Of Portland is
a structure worthy of any city in the Union,
and with far less Of the commonplace about it
than about most of modern municipal struc-
lures. st4s
Maine has population Of $40 900 souls, and
Bishop Nicely soon found that most of them
were ignorant of the distinctive features and
worship of the Episcopal church, or prejudieed
against them; and there were many towns in
which liturgical form of service was thing
unknown. 1t is true there were nineteen
church organi lations, but yet the Episcopal
clergymen of the diocese numbered only
twelve The field was ripe, but the harvesters
were wanting.
During the two years that DIR. Neeley has
been Bishop of Maine he has spent three
fourths of his time in missionary work; and
the result of his labors so far has been that the
number of clergy has doubled; nine new
churches have been organized, and five of
these organizations have built and now occu-
py suitable church ediices diocesan school
for young ladies' (called st. Catharine's Hall)
has been established at Augusta, and has just

missionary society have stopped and prospect

Congregational church and to pledge $500 to-
ward the support of a minister. The society
appointed Rev. J. G. Davis, of the last class at
Chicago. to that field. But, after organizing a
church, he finds his efforts somewhat embar-
rassed by the offer Of the Old School Presby-

Congregational Union often think it wise to
give. Cheyenne is place of 5000 inhabitants

A sturcn.,ons sufndle.

The report just made by Chauncey
H. Snow, Government Director of the
Union Pacific railroad, concerning the
location construction and management
of that enterprise, has produced a SEN
sation among capitalists in New York
and elsewhere who hold the aecond
mortgage bonds of that concern. The
Cincinnati Gazette says Of this exhibit:
Notwithstanding the immense sums
given to the company by the Govern
ment-subsidies sufficient to have built
and equipped u tir6t.ClssS r0Hu-the
work mas been only about one half
done, and, instead of a hrst-class i'm
provement, the country will have a
road upon which traffic can not b0 safe
ly or probably conducted.
For some time this fact has been
known TO the pnblic. From the very
first, in fact. it WAS known to the Secre-
tary of the Interior that the road WAS
at no time in condition TO eutitle the
company to one dollar OF subsidy. Yet,
As section after section was completed,
the work was certified as as having been
done according TO law, and upon these
certificates United States bonds were
issued, land warrants were executed,
and the public were deluded into pur-
chasing second mortgage bonds, which
would not now bring in the market half
what they sold for originally
Had there been an homes. udtninis-
tratiOn at Washington when Jesse T..
Williams, as Government Director.
made his reports, aud when the nress
began to expose the swindle, millions
of dollars might have been saved; but
1t WAS not until Grant went into Office
that the flow of public money into the
hands OF the railroad ring could he
stopped, and then, unfortunately, it
WAS almost equivalent to locking the
stable door after the horse had been
stolen.
Now the money has been spent. and
we have a half built road, which the
Government will be forced to take pos
session of and finish, or abandon all its
claims.
Ii is, upon the whole, a sickening eX-
hibition of national corruption, with
out IL parallel in the history of this or
any other country. 1t would be some
consolation if the men through whom
this great fraud has. been perpetrated
could be reached and adequately pun
ished; but the most that can be accom-
plished at this time, we presume, is TO
save what is left OF unappropriated sub
sides, and to hold up the men who be-
trayed the confidence OF the people TO
the scorn of those who are compelled
10 pay the cost OF the treachery.
