ury at the earliest moment, deeming its
retention there a gross blunder, and while
we hold the payment of some form of indeDt-
edpess the only proper use of ii, we think
more good can be effected by buying up and
canceling bonds than in any other way sup
pose the Treasury were quietly to purchase
Seventy Millions of outstanding bonds (Which
ever of them could be bought to the best ad-
vantage) with Sixty Millions or less of its sur
plus coin, Is it not certain that Gold must
thereupon fall because of its abundance, Whlle
Bonds would suddenly and largely appreciate,
because of their relative scarcity7 Strike Sew
enty Millions of bonds out Of existence and
throw Sixty Millions of Gold on the market,
not for a day, but for all time, and the pre-
MUM on gold and the discount on the gold
price of bonds must both fall immensely. Now
offer a four per cent. non-taxable gold bond
having forty to q hundred years to run, and IL
is scarcely possible that it should rot find pur-
chasers at something over par, propided we
shall have so adjusted Revenue to Expenditure
as to have clear, constant surplus OF the for-
mer, which we shall continue to use IN buying
up and canceling bonds. Rusumpton VIII tnuS

We agree with Mr. Bowen in deprecatlhg
contraction Of our Greenback Currency prepara-
tory to Resumption. After Resumption, the
oold- Gamblers may run the Treasury for gold
if they choose. provided they have the Where-

We trust Mr. Bowen agrees in our assump-
ton that such state of things should not Do
endured one moment longer than it must be-
and that Resumption would dethrone these
moneyed despots, or deprive them of their
power to do evil but he does not seem TO see
as we do that from the moment of ReSump-
ton, far more Capital would be interested In
sustaining the National sOlvency than in trying
to subvert it.
Once more we say explicitly that we very
much prefer an earnest trial OF Mr.. Bowens

three chances of escape by England to one OF

holders and blockade-runners present. tneir

question of liability. If the umpire appoh'eu
by the two English Commissioners shal 10
selected, he decides that the United STATES ny
recognizing the Confederacy as an alien enemy
and belligerent power, and then conquerlns
it and succeeding to its assets, became IeepVnsi
bic for its debts Is this question Wnlcn, oy
the triekery of Mr. ReVerdy johnson, Tue ohi'eu
States are to be wheedled into submitting 10 soihe
one umpire appointed by two British Commls-
sloners, and who may be, for auglt we couiu say,
Mr.. Laird or Mr.. Roebuck himselff But should
the lot decide that this question is to be de-
cided by the American umpire, the two Brit
ish Commissioners may demand that it be SUD-
mitted to Napoleon Ill, who 1t may De as
sumed would hold in favor OF Confederate
bondholders. There is nothing in the treaty
to show that the Commissioners may hot ue-
mand that question be Withdrawn lrom 'no
Commission and submitted to q foreign poten-
tate after as well as before it has been passed
upon by the umpire selected by themselves.
1t is, perhaps, worth noting that the Commits
sioners are to have six months for the reception
of claims, two years for their decision if decided
by themselves, six months moro for the SUD-
mission of any claim to foreign potentate,
and eighteen months after its final decision
for payment, during which time the claims run
without interest. This pOstponement OF the
payment of all claims allowed for four years
without interest Is equivalent to reduction Oh
their amount by nearly or quite one-fourth'
In short, we thinkthere are sufficient evidences
in the professed draft to brand it as an utter
failure, fraud on American claimants, and a
treaty which tho Senate will Overwhelmingly
refuse TO sanction.

The Board of Chosen Freeholders of Hudson
County, New-Jersey. including Jersey City, Hoboken
and Hudson City. time ago appointed Commits
sionors TO recommend the laying out of certain
prominent avenues The elevated part of the county
has long been in need of wide, and
direct roads, for those now in existence are mostly
parrOw, crooked uneven, miserably constructed anu
kept and thus q serious impediment to the natural
growth of the county, which, in consequence both Of
ITS proximity TO the Empire City and its own COM
mercal Importance, cannot possibly fail to have
grand future. The Commissioners, whose President
John Ii. Bonn, enjoys to degree the confidence
and the respect of the people Of tho county, have
recently laid thoir reports and maps before the
Board. and their recommendations are under
consideration. The population of Hudson County is
already upward of 100 00O and increases with great
rapidiy The action of the Board Of Freeholders ID,
Of course, expected with profound interest.

In the full details which our report gives OF
Gen. Grants doings, and sayings, and surround
ings in Baltimore yesterday, readers will not
fail to observe, as the most notable feature
the fact that the General gave special attention
TO the mode of collecting Internal Revenue on
Tobacco. He will soon have need of
all the knowledge on that subject he
can possibly acquire. But his military expe-
rience has already taught him-and bis success
has taught us that he profted by the lesson
that the way to get work honestly done is to
appoint honest and capable men to do 1t, and
then to give them the fullest support. That is
the open secret for collecting the Internal
Revenue, and we do not doubt that we may
count on soon seeing it reduced to practice.

The Nashville papers Of the Conservative"
shade report that Detective BarmOre, in the
service of Gen. Thomas and the State author
ities was seized by the Ku-Klux on the 11th
inst. at Columbia, Tenn, while travelling by
train from Pulaski to Nashville on the Nash
vile and Decatur Railroad, and was taken
from the cars and so disposed of that he has
not since been heard from. He has probably
been murdered. This occurred in broad day
light, in leading town in Tennessee, wherein
but few days before Large and enthusi-
"astcr meeting of Rebels had been held,
denouncing all violence and denying that there
were any Ku-Klux in that part of the country.
Barmore was not Radical" the Nashville
papers say Implying that if he had been that
would sufficiently explain the murder), but had
given offense by going on the trail of some OF
the Klan at the instance of Gen. Thomas or
the State authorities. No resistance appears to
have been made by the employees of the road
having charge of the train, nor has there been
any investigation to ascertain by whose hands
he came to his fate. We hope they will do
these things differently after the 4th of March

We now have the truth about Gen. Grants
