The BondhoIdcrs' Bill.

Mr.. Morton, the Senator from Indiana, In
discussing Mr.. Sherman's bill in relation to the
public debt and currency, said the committee
seemed to have been at q loss for an appro-
pirate title for the bill, and that he Thought
they might have better called IL bill TO i'm
prove the valuc Of the bonds Of the country.
Mr.. Morton hit the nail fairly on the head that
time; for the principal object, IL not the only
one, Of the Sherman bill is to raise the value Of
United States bonds and TO increase the pro-
perty Of the bondholders. Indeed, to have
named Il right, II should have been called the
bondholders bill. From the extraordinary
efforts made by the financial quacks in Con-
gross TO benefit the bondholders IL might be
supposed by the ignorant that these bond
holders are suffering and an oppressed class
