the 18th says:
st. Johns Church, the oldest and
most aristocratic Episcopal Church
here is divided by bitter controver-
~ upon the question of Ritualism
VS.. Evangelism. Last evening a

aA-The London Economist, the
best financial journal in Great Brit
ain, says, in reviewing Secretary
Boutwell's Philadelphia speech
Although the American six per
cent. debt is yet quoted under par, it
is very far from incredible that it
may rise so fast as to give the hope
of refunding ii at no distant time ut
a much lower rate of interest. Ii
things continue as they are for an
other six months, and Mr.. Boutwell,
buys in 910,000,000 more bonds, ii
is hardly possible but that another
great Improvement in American
credit will take place.

Secrets Of the Postal Ser ice.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune writes from Washington al
account of the skillful detections o
postOffice robbers He says
A very large percentage of depre
dations on letters is made by the
families who suffer, (said Mr. Depro
the detective), as an example Of
which | recall, just now the name OF
q celebrated claim agent of Wash

receiving every day large fees from
his clients in all parts of the country,
and he came to the postoffice TO COM
plain that quantities of his letters
were daily robbed Of their remittau-
ces and returned to the writers with
taunting remarks appended, as,
Didn't you think this money was
going straight? You're a fool to
think your money can reach the
agent Robbed by the postotfice

to the postotfice with loud complaints
of dishonesty there, and the post
master asked me to investigate the
case.

what object there could be in thus
returning the covers of robbery. and
| was sure that no postoffice clerk
would be SO absurd.

the claim agent, and in day or two
called upon him

was highly desirable for the prosper

How Much we Owe Europe.

As early as 1865, our Comptroller
Of the Currency page Z of his report
estimates the amount of our securi-
ties sent abroad in five years at
$713, 900, 900; and adds, "Our only
resource to pay the balance of trade
against us, has been and is the sale
OF our securities abroad" But lead
ing financial men estimated that in
1860 we owed $500, 900, 900 abroad
in the shape of State. municipal and
railroad securities; making at the
time of the publication of Comptroll-
er's report as above, 81, 213, 10000
of United States securities held IN
foreign countries. Since that time,
however, the export of these securi-
ties has gone forward at a still more
rapid rate. In his last report, Mr..
McCulloch estimated the amount
held at nearly $1,000, 100000 in
United States Indebtedness alone.
SO that it is safe to say that our en-
tire debt due abroad cannot be less
than from $500, 900, 900 to 81, 000,-
600, 900, in one shape or another.
Now, this debt must cause a yearly
drain upon the country for specie
amounting to more than the annual
production Of all our mines And
this debt, due abroad, is not by any
means decreasing on the contrary,
it is increasing. The balance of
trade is being continually met by
increased exports of bonds. At the
same time this export is being en-
couraged, as we have heretofore
shown, by contraction and by the
attempt to cheaper the value of gold
relatively to the paper money of the
country In other words, our fnan
cial policy, knowingly or unknow'
ingly, constantly tends to make gold
or gold bearing bonds, the cheapest
articles of export, and merchandise
of all kinds the dearest Chicago
Republican.
