Atlanta to the Sea, so is Boutwell, strik'
ing crushing blow at the most vital
point of the confedracy of financial reb-
els on Wall street. What we have at
tempted to say in support of the Secre-
tary's policy is thus, most admirably
stated in the Tribune:
Gov. Boutwell, is improving. hepro-
poses to give the gold gamblers Couoie
as much of a weekly allowance to oil

doubles that, he will have approached
something ike the dose we should havo
been glad to see Wall street receiving

Let US make the premium on cur cold

it, the more bonds We can buy. the
more interest we can stop, the better

when we can fund our Cebt in low-iu-
terest BONDS and resume. We thank
the Secretary right heartily for his last
sep, aud only hope it may prove the
precursor OF vigorous advance in that
direction.
In this matter of the country's fnau,
ces lies the grantest, most vital Issue

GOVERNOR HOFFMAN REFUSES TO BE

GOVERNOR HOFFMAN REFUSES TO BE
DIsARMEp.-The New York Legislature
passed bill to prevent frauds in regis
tration and voting and Governor Hoff-
man squelched it with his veto, where
upon the New York Tribune comments
as follows:
This is consistent, at least. He was
elected by the g1ossest and NEST bare
faced frauds-fraud devised and eyecu-
ted by his nearast friends and most
trusted adyisers-and he is not the
man to go back on his friends. To pre-
vent fraudulent registering and Illegal
voting is to say that he shall never be
reelected and be cannot be expected
to say that. He was deliberately mis-
counted in the Mayoralty in 1865 he
was determinedly swindled into the
Governorship in 1868 ; and be has re
spect for the bridge that carried him
safely over. 1t IS proverbially illman-
nered to be talking of ropes to one
whose father was hung and 1t must
seem to the Governor impertinence, if
not stupid insult, in Legislature to
send him a bill that strikes at the facll-
lilies for Illegal voting. They could not
reasonably have expected him to sign It.

The village Of Elstow having been the birthplace
and home of John Bunyan it is proposed that the
ancient parish church ia grand and massive structure
and the only church in the place. should be thorough
ly and suitably restored and thus made fitting
monument to his memory. This proposal. if taken
up as heartily as it deserves to be- by Christians of
our own and other countries will speedlybe brought
to successful issne To carry out the work, how
ever some thousands of pounds will be required and
believing that The Pilgrims Progress - is as much
valued in America as in the old country we venture
10 appeal through you, TO transatlantic brethren
10 take part IN the monument. We feel confident
that there are very many in America who will gladly
contribute donation, to do honor 10 the name Of
Bunyan.
In carrying ont the necessary repairs and the res
toraton of the church. we pledge ourselves that the
utmost care shall 30 taken to make it, as completely
