Honesty and Policy.

The House of Representatives has
hitherto been rcckoned the strong
hold OF the .reenbacii heresy. 1t Is
this fact which lends to the vote on
Gen. Schencks bin special signiii
canoe. The Senate may, under ma
lign leadership be induced TO let the
session close without action on the
subject, though We are unwilling
until further advices, to accept the
intimations of this sort that come to
us frcm Washington. Bat, whether
the vote be actually recorded at this
session or not, we all know that the
Senate is in favor Of the bill. The
House has been the dangerous point;
and the House, bya vote of two TO
one, has now given notice TO the
world of its rejection OF the rogues
plan that, since the bond does NOT
say Gold upon its face, we may 'air!y
pay it in deprecated paper.
Now mark this result A gold
bearina six per cent. bond OF this
Government, which we fonaiy boast
the richest and strongest IN the
| world, has been selling in London for
seyenty-six and seventy-sevcn, while
three per cent. English consul has
been selling for ninety-two and nine-
ty three. Under the belief that the
election of Gen. Grant meant nation
al honesty, our bonds have been
steadily appreciatingi under late
outgivings in Congress they have
advanced still further; and now,
within twcnty-four hours sitter the
vote in Washington on Gen. Schenck
4 bill, Five.Twenties leap up in Lon
don one and a halt per cent more,
with tendency stiN upward Who
| is now 50 blind as not 10 see that
honesty is the best policy Once
mako it as distinctly understood IN
London and Frankfort, as it is firmly
intended by the people here who
elected the incoming Administration,
that our bonds are to be paid accord
| ing to the honest understanding at
the time of their issue, and they will
90 above par so rapidly that gold
from all the money markets OF the
tworld will be thrust upon US to take
four per cent loan, wherewith We
can resume specie payments and call

! While we, as citizens of this country,
rejoice at this, we at the same time
| recognize in You the representative
of tho German American element III
its true significance. In the work OF
perfecting this mighty Republic. to
which all people of all lands, nations,
and crccds are invited by our free IN
stitutions. no race has Il more import
ant mission than the German. The
soil on which industry and conf
merce. science and art, and liberal
ideas Of humanity flourish, is sown
with German earnestness, and Shows
the fruits Vf German genius. Ii is
your great merit rs representative Of
the German American element, to
carry ont the same work nobly and
gloriously in the field of national pol
itics. The exalted destiny OF our
Republic can be fulfilled only by per-
fectly harmonizing all elements in
the spirit Of the fundamental princi-
pies Of our political system. Your
election, the free, hearty, and honest
expression of the will of the young
Empire State of the West, is conclu-
sive evidence that this idea is living
and active in the minds OF the native
population of this country. We
greet you, therefore, with the proud
assurance tha. as, while yet in youth,
you distinguished yourself in the
struggle for the regeneration and
greatness of the old fatherland, so
now in manhood, in the highest couls-
ellis Of the great Republic, you will
push fol- ward with q still stronger

Mr.. Schurz responded in few
words, stating that il he was consid,
cred the representative Of the Ger.
man. Americans, it was no merit OF
his own, but all had contributed to
ward this result ; the citizen by bis
voice, aud the soldier on the field os
battle. He was, perhaps, least en-
thusiastic Of all abous his election to-
the United States Senate, because OF
the high idea he entertained OF the
importance Of the position to which
he had been called. If in the future
new ties would have to be formed,
and he should arrive at different con.
clusions from tho-c held by the ones
who had now addressed nilH, they
might, nevertheless, rest assured .hat
conscientious conviction alone has
g,,idcd him. After shaking hands
with the various gentlemen present
MIR. Schurz hade them all good night.

The question Of suffrage is one
which is likely to agitate the public
as long as a portion of the citizens
of the Nation are excluded from it's
privileges in any State. 1t seems to
me very probable that this question
could be settled, and l entertain the
hope and express the desire that it
may be. by the ratification Of tho
18th Article Of the Amendment to
the Constitution.
In conclusion, ask patient for.
bearance Of one towards another
throughout the land, and a detcrmin-
cd effort on the part OF every citizen
to do his ehare towards cementing
our happy Union, and ask the pray
ers of the nation to Almighty God
in behalf of this consummation.

EtsEft xAs O0AJA0OAt
This notorious individual leaves to-
day the chair of State, and his retir-
acy is hailed with great JOY among
the philanthropic, libcrty-loving pco
plo of the civilized world. The rid
dance of such an incubus upon the
prosperity of the nation lifts a dark
and appalling shadow that has for
near tour years cast u fearful gloom
upon us as people. II is most fit
ting then, and a faithful index to the
record this man has made as Chief
Executive of the nation, that he
should as his first act upon his reti-
racy, meet with and receive the
plaudits of the late rebels of Balti-
more, Nd, the men who instigated
and engaged in shedding the first
blood in the great Rebellion, by at
tacking the Federal troops while
passing through their city to defend
the beleagured National Capitol
Doubtless he goes there to receive
the thanks Of the friends of j. Wilkes
Booth for the delivery to them of the
body of the assassin, and maybe to
deliver himself 5f an grafton over
monumental pile to be raised over
the remains of the vilc murderer
of truth, baltimore is fitting place
for A. Johnson to receive his first
ovation. There will be found many
vile and arrant traitors to this Re-
public to smile upon him, and to con.
graduate him, and thank him for the
great aid he has given them during
his Adm inistration.
Let is be recorded by the future
historian Of the country that, this
despised man first sought words of
cheer and an asylum, upon leaving
the Executive chair, from those who
SO recently bore arms against the
government.
