Funding the Public Debt.

General Schenck, st as early day as
possible after Congress eonvenes, will
Introduce and press bill for funding g
the public debt at . rate OF interest not
exceeding 44 per cent. HIS impressions
are favorable to a four per cent. rate, out
he soW not support q higher rate than
fOur-and- -haiJ per cent. During his alb
sence in Europe, General Schenck gath
cred much valuable financial informa-
tion for the benefit of this country. He
states that capitalists universally in
Europe are profoundly interested in our
financial condition. They repose un-
bounded confidence in our ability to pay
our debt, but they are afraid. in conse-
auence of the influence of such men as
George III. Pendleton. Gen. Butler. and
others, who advocate dishonest finan-
cial theories, of our disposition to pay.
Once confident OF our intention to pay
our debt honestly the great capitalists
of Europe assert that American bonds
can be placed at lower rate OF interest
than those of any nation in the world.
Gen. Schenck has no doubt, whatever,
of our ability to place our bonds prompt
ly at ur-and-a-halfp per cent. interest.

Ofsociety and government have

changes ofsociety and government have
Teen, more or less in logical debate, con-
tested in Europe, and on the battlefield
throughout America. While they have
often involved the American States in
international wars, they have more
than once provoked European interven-
tion. A third improvement was easily
found necessary to guarantee full sue
cess to the two principle changes which
have already mentioned. This third
Improvement consists in the continua-
ton of the many or contiguous nations
or States, which are weak of themselves,
into United States, distinct nations.-
My own country, the United States, has
taken the lead in these changes, so es-
sential in the American hemisphere
The Mexican Republic has early, and
bravely, and peristently adopted a
similar system. Central America, and
nearly all the South American States,
have followed the example thus set by
the United States and the Mexican Re
public. One additional principle re-
mains to be adopted to secure thesuccess
of the Republican system throughout
the continent. If it shall become uni
versal on the American continent, We
have reason to expect that the same
great system may be accepted by other
nations throughout the world. That
additional principle is simply this:-
That the several American Republics,
just as they constitute themselves, while
abstaining from Intervention
with each other, shall become more than
ever heretofore political friends, through
the force of moral alliance. This, in
short, is the policy which have incul-
Gated at nome, and which, with your
leave and the leave of others interested,
shall commend, as far as possible, to
the Republics of Mexico, Central
America, and South America. l sim
eerely trust that the seyerest trials of
the republican system are already passed
in Mexico, and shall never cease to
pray God for her continued indepen-
dence, unity. prosperity and happiness"

When the roosters are observed before

1t is announced that sixteen of the
most expert female money counters in
the Treasury Department at Washing
ton, have been sent on to New York 10
verify the cash balance stated in General
Butterfield's accounts as United States
Assistant Treasurer. When Butterfield's
predecessors went out of office, 4 large
number of clerks from the prominent
banks in New York were engaged at
this work for two or three weeks, labor
ing day and night. The appointment
of these sixteen ladies is highly compli-
mentary to their skill and business
capacity.

Economical Habits.

With certain limitations, it is true
that man who cannot save margin
from small income will never save any
thing from large one. Wants are al
ways more plentiful than dollars. The
habit of self denial is rather more easily
cultivated when the means for supply
ing them are limited than when more
ample means have created new tastes
and desires. Therefore, if you would grow
rich you must begin TO acquire. A single
dollar saved is often larger proportion
of actual necessities, than the thousands
your rich neighbor places in bank. a
dollar saved at twenty will count as
much as sixteen saved at sixty. Many
Young men spend as much in cigars
alone, between the age of fifteen and
sums of money which, If
invested, would accumulate to
an amount, by the time they reach nifty
wears ample to meet the. necessities OF
age, and render them independent for
the remainder of their days.

The Sun says the late election cost the
Tammany ring over nine hundred thou
sand dollars. The grand torchlight pro-
cession cost one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars. Mayor Hall contrib
uted twenty per cent of his salary
Eight candidates for Office contributed
five thousand dollars each. All subordi-
mates in public Office under control of
the ring were taxed twenty per cent. on
their salaries. Senatorial candidates
paid about SIS, ,00G each with the excep-
tion Of VIM. NJ. Tweed, who paid nearly
$50, 900. All this money comes out of
the city tax payers, and what is most
curious they seem to like 1t.

Guesses at the Census.

DIR. Jarvis, of Boston, has, at the re-
quest OF Revenue Commissioner Wells,
elaborate examination of facts and fig
ures furnished by the Government, and
from other sources, made an estimate of
the probable wealth and population of
the country in 1870. The methods by
which he arrives at his results are of in
lerest only TO statisJicians; The results
themselves are of wider interest.
He believes that in June, 1870, the
United States viii contain 80, ,6l3, l. l5 per-
SONS, OF whom 1854, Ais Will be blacks;
and the old free States will have %, 76S,-
57l persons, against 3,S44, ,544 in the OLD
slave States. This would be an increase
for the whole country of over eight mil
lions in the last ten years.
AS to wealth, he estimates that OF the
whole country, June next, at S27 ,4i3,-
156, SOY; of which, in round numbers,
eighteen and half millions will be in
real estate, and eight and three-quarters
III personal. This is an increase of over
nineSy-one per cent. since 1860.
He estimates that the wealth of the
country, divided equally among the peo-
pie, would give, in June, 1879, this aver
aCe for each person:

secretsry seward Among The Mexicans.

Secretary Seward Among The MeIIeans.
A correspondent of the New York
| Tribune Civ a sketch of the reception
of ex-Secretary Seward and party al
| Colima, Mexico. Such a compliment as
was paid 10y the authorities and citizens
of that place to the distinguished party
has never been exeelIed. In the evening
there was grand ball at the Governors
palace, attended by the dignitaries of the
land and the most prominent citizens
with their families. The floors were
covered with cloth and sprinkled with
gilt paper clippings, The pillars, the
arches, the walls aud the ceilings were
loaded with the richest Vegetation of the
tropics palmleaves in alltheir varieties;
the rich. cream-colored blossoms of the
! cocoa looking like gigantic II eads of
wheat done in wax-work the green
fruit and flowers af the banana, and all
the indescrbable wealth of the tropical
flora in variety and brilliance beyond
description. As Mr.. Seward exclaimed,
1T is q tropical forest, with an oriental
illumination" Rich Chinese lamps and
glasses, filled with perfume and brilliant
eolored cocoa oil, with burning tapers,
were on all sides.
The roof was hidden by canopy of
green, white and red gauZe, and all
around the hall were the flags Of Mexi-
co and the United States, side by side
At one end of the hall, Don Benito
Juarez, Salvador de la Patria," looked
down in grim silence from the canvas,
and at. the other, a handsome portrait
of Mr.. Seward, painted within two days
by a native artist, was enwreathed with
laurals, and the flags of the two Repub-
lies. Around the corridor hung the |
PORTRAITS of General Ramon Corona,
Commander of the Army of the West, |
and his compatriots, and the heroes OF
the Mexican war of Independence. On
one side of the galley was the illumina-
ted legend "Al II. W. H. Seward "
formed from glasses of red, green and
blue cocoanut oil, with tapers hanging
against bank of tropical verdure. The
Theeommittee of arrangement musthavel
expended u very large sum in the prep
aratons, and all to the best advantage.
Introductiops over, the band, seated in
all alcove, struck up a lively air, aud the
dance commenced, Governor Cueva
leading off with Mrs. Frederick Seward,
and Mr.. f. Seward with the beautiful
and accomplished wife of Mr.. Getting,
the Consul of the North German Con-
federation.
After midnight there was banquet,
and, in response to Governor Cueva's
speech OF welcome, Secretary Seward
replied as follows:
''GENTLEMBN-I thank you with a
full heart for these most unGeserved hos
pitalities and honors. The experience
of the eighteenth century indicated to
mankind two important changes OF
society and government on the continent
of America. First-That all American
States mus thereafter be not dependent
European colonies, but independent
native American nations. Second ,
That all independent American nations !
must thereafter have not imperial or

ed on by the voluntary agency of the
