The Public Debt.

The leading New York journals hold va
-rions opinions respecting Mr.. Boutwell's s
policy in regard to the public debt, as de-
monstrated in his scheme of purchasing
S1,000,000 ive-twcnty bonds per week as q
sinking fund.
The Tribune wants the Secretary to 60
farther. 1t asks him to buy up at once $50,
600, 900, thereby glutting the gold market
and making the bonds SO scarce that those
who have them will hold on, and those who
have them not will be eager to possess them
It thinks this course would put gold and
stock gamblers under the Secretarys feet
and give tone to the market which would
fix the price OF our bonds. 1t says:
Ellis power is great; his opportunity such
as no man has enjoyed since Hamilton; we
trust he will prove every way equal to his
position and its large requirements, and
that his countrymen will bless him MS the
man who reduced the interest of their deb
from one hundred and thirty to less thar
one hundred millions per annum and thu.
created the means Of paying off the prnci
pal in less than half century"
The Times is not so confident concernin.
the propriety Of the measure. 1t says:
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1869-05-15

"a. s.'The idea Of taking up bonds long before
they reach maturity has pretty look and q
sonorous sound; it may be an excellent sub
ject for Fourth Of July brag. but as mat
ter Of equity the Government has no right
to purchase the unmatured securities Of the
due and dishonored obligations remain un-
redeemed"
The Herald refers to the subject in a long
editorial, in which it deals somewhat extern
sively with statistics to show what might be
done in the way OF reduction Of interest, and
says:
eff Mr.. Boutwell, could afford to invest
So, 100000 of gold weekly, for tho purchase
of the bonds, he could wipo out the whole
debt, principal and interest, inside of twenty
years; but, as it appears that he cannot do
this, what else can he do in the lessening of
our burden OF taxes and in bringing us
within view by tho naked eye of a complete
e1tinguishment of this English looking
mountain of debt?"
II goes on to reason that with reforma-
tion of the whskey rings, and reasonably
honest revenue returns, the next years re.
ccipts ought to be Mt least S4OO, 900, OOO
That in retrer chment much more can be
done; that McCulloch 8 estimate of expenses
may be heavily cut down; that what with
savings in interest ON. debt, civil service. and
in the War, Navy and Interior Depart
ments, &C., and the gains upon McCulloch's
estimates, there ought to be at the end of the
next fiscal year a surplus Of S152 600, 900,
which would enable Congress to cut down
our taxntions to the extent Of 500, 600, 900,
still leaving margin for. the purchase of
1000, 900 of bonds weekly.

It may be truthfully said that the greatest
of All blessings IS health, for without it, it
is impossible to enjoy the life that God has
given us. A healthy stomach, good di-
gestion, good conscience are requisites so
important in physical and moral point of
view to human happiness, that We presume
no one will question it. To all alike is
health essential for lifes enjoyment and
pursuits; to young and old, TO rich and poor.
to man and woman. Are you in search Of
wealth? health is essential; do you desire
Office and worldly hours? of what avail
would these be without health9 The beau
ties of spring, the song of birds. the deep
blue skies, all have poetic fascination with
the pure in mind and body; bnt what are
they without health? To say with the poet,
as one feels tie throbs of healthful heart:

POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE The New York
World notices an increasing tendency in po-
htlcal parties to thrust out from their pale
any and every man who does not endorse.
without exception, all their actions. 1t re-
counts how the dominant party of the coun-
try treats that class of its members, and ex-
ercises its tyranny over them. 1t instap ces
that Andrew johnson, in 1860, and later,
when he risked his life in behalf Of the
Union, and was applauded to the skies by
his Republican friends, but SO soon, after
Mr.. Lincoln's death, as he showed the
slightest disposition to differ from them on
single measure, he was ridiculed and in.
srltcd without stint. Thurlow Weed and
VIM. II. Seward organized, drilled, and led
to- victory the Republican party, and for
subsequently venturing to question the poll
cy OF the majority, they were promptly os-
tracised Senators Dixon and Doolittle,
who fought for the party when it needed all
the help it could get, the moment they dared
to question the Congressional policy on re-
construction, were branded as traitors
Charles Francis Adams, who served the
country abroad in manner to entitle him
to hold an honored place in the nation, fell
under their ban, because of some mysteri-
GUS impression that he was not in full sym-
pathy with all the measures the party advo-
Gated. John S. Carlile, Union man when
ana where the risk was great and who ven
tured to disapprove of some of their schemes,
was forthwith dropped from the rolls. Not.
withstanding he took the stump for Grant,
last fall, he was rejected for the avowed rea-
son that he had not succumbed throughout
to party rule. It instances Reverdy John
son. Horace Greeley, and others who have
fallen from their high position in the party
for similar independence of principle It
asks:
"What opening, then, is there for men
who, while working with n party, can hold
themselves free to criticise it's action? And
answers, there can be but one answer, and
that is the press.
"Honceforth it is to be, even in greater
degree than it is to-day, the censor of
American politics. Each party will have its
advocates in journalism, but their influence
will be in exact proportion to their indie
pendence. And is not the converse true,
that the successful journals of the future
are to be those which will maintain an in
telligent independence though they at
times may run counter to some Of the views
of the party whose fortunes they espouse,
and whose principles they support?"

The Crops.

The Crops.
Every farmer that drops into our
sanctum brings us encouraging news
with regard to the crops. Wheat,
which had obtained good root by the
favorable weather Of last fall, has
had a fine chance during the cool,
moist spring. Much larger breadth
of land has been sown than usual,
and our farming community all ex-
press the prospects for a good crop
in about the same language, viz -
"the best crop have ever seen in
my life.''
The weather, during the beginning
of the week, being warm and pleas
ant, we are informed by those who
were out in the country, that almos'
every man, woman and child, who
had the strength to WELD hoe, OF
the requisite skill to drop a grain o.
corn, were pressed into the service
and we have no doubt but what {
large portion of this important croI
is in the ground.
Fruit of all kinds promises well
and should we escape late frosts, W,
may expect the best crops we havt
ever mad.
While writing (1hursday), th'
patter of a refreshing shower is heard
upon our ROOF, gladdening thu
parched bosom of mother Eartl
with moisture, and causing the hear
of man to beat with emotions O
gratitude for the promise of boun
tiful harvest. p

have been the object of the manage

To secure this object, they have

of Equestrian impersenator of class
ical statuary, representing the Gre

Steed, imported expressly for the
occasion, and also in her great tran.
sept fight upon the oseillating ira
peze, plunging through the air at a
| fearful altitude, and catching upon
the horizontal bar, with her feet and
sncles, head downwards, creating
the most enthusiastic demonstra
tions of wonder and applause. This
is the same lady Gymnast who ap
peared at the principal theatSs last
winter, and who created such a per
feet furore in the amusement world
as to place every other attraction
completely in the shade.
In addition to the Equestrian and
Gymnastic departments, which are
more or less perfect, is the splendid
collection of animals in the Menag
erie, all of the rarest specimens
among which the great Sea Cow OIL
egyptian Wallapus, and the White
double backed Camels are the only
species ever imported, and which
