1Hr WAY WE BuY OUR BONDS.

The purchase OF government bonds is
really made with the kurplus Of gold feve- Il
nue. received from The customs duties, and
remaining on hand after paying the inter-

the question arises, -~hy does not the Sec
1etary Of the Treasury buy these bonds
with the gold itself directly, instead Of sell |
ing The gold for groenbaeks and buying the
1'onds with the groenbaoks 2 80
: Secretary Boutwell,: seems to have in
herited this policy from his predecessors,
who, in Issuing the bonds, preferred to
sell them At preteoded premium in our
rcncy rather than at their actual discount
in gold. The policy was tn-
augurnted by Secretary Chase,
who, when selling the bonds Mt ; per cent
premium, and taking his pay in gEeenbaoks
worth only fifty cents ON the dollar, claimed
10 he borrowing money at per cent,
when every business man knew that, for
every $50 of principal he borrowed, he was
promising to pay 500 Of principal, and,
| in nddi,ion, sc for every $50, per auuum,
| which was about Il per cent. In its
inception, we think this plan Was grand
piece OF humbug, in which the party
chiefly aeluded Was our eminent Secretary
OF The Treasury, and the party chiefly
swindled wastle United States government,
which became liable, bY this chicane, for
debt one-.hisd larger than il ever hor-
rowed, aud for the continuous payment of
rate Of interest one-tl,ird higher, al tic
average, tl.an it pretended to be.
i. AL the sacrifice was naade That the gov
crnuent might seem, to some OF the aged
1natrons and Sunday School children of
the land, for no others could be deceived
by ito be selling its bonds above par,
, when they we're, in fact, below 50 per cent,

Observation-Disclosures.

Some time ago. VIC called attention to
the fact that the several Pacific Railroad
Companies had paid no interest on their
bonds. Since then, We have been IN
formed by Kansas newspaper that there
WAS no obligation on the part Of the rail-
roads to pay tue interest. The account
row stands:

The Law Of 1sG2' provided that all the
chargea against the United States for
transportation .should be applied to The |
payment of principal and interest of thess
bonds, but, in 1864, this Was changed so
that only one-half OF such charge Was to
| be retained by the govern ment.
The bonds Of the United States were is
sued in the proportion Of GIG, 900, S92, 900,
and SIS, 900 per mile Of the road, according
to the grade, The average was about $780,
900 per mile. The companies Issued their
own bonds to the same amount Both
classes of bonds sold at or near par. The
companies have therefore had nearly $780,
600 per mile in cash. In addition TO this,
l'they have had grant Of land forty miles
vide for the entire distance of the road.

Riruction of the road did not cost moro than
the proceeds of the bonds issued by the
United States. The capital stock is Of

Some Of the farmers and stock-growers in
this township are taking good deal OF pains,
and going to heavy expense, to improve the
quality Of their stock. As q result, some Of
the cattle and horses here begin to attract the
attention OF travellers and visitors, and we
heard some pretty high compliments passed
upon the Lyon county stock. On the other
hand, we find some people who prefer to deal
in Texas stock and inferior native breeds, and
who are thus retarding the development ofim-
proved breeds. As 4 general thing the per-
manent farmers and stock-raisers don't deal in
Texas cattle. They don't like them, because
they consider them Improbable to raise by
themselves, and disastrous to the native stock
when brought fully in contact with them. 1t
is the spectators, who live in towns, or have
no permanent homes among us, that are con-
tinually trying to crowd this class Of stock in
to the country. It Is matter Of doubt whether
Il pays even them. At least q great many of
the professional Texas cattle men have lost
money as often rs they have gained it in the
traffic. But to the permanent, settled farmer
and breeder, there is only the certainty that
the introduction Of the Texas stock must prove
disadvantageous to him. How often do we
hear the remark made by our best farmers, that
this would be an unriyalled stock-growing
CounAy II IL "eHO AoS AoI sno AeAas stocA'
We feel certain that no other thing is so dis
eouraging to the introduction and improvement
OF good stock as the liability there is of its be-
ing made hazardous by contact with the Texas
stock. People do fear it. They are not willing
their cattle should occupy the same range. We
heard an extensive stock-raiser say recently
that he was going to sell all his cattle, because
of the report that a lot Of Texas cattle over on
Dow creek were dying. He expected his
would go with them. It would be a grand
thing for this country If all the Southern stock
could be kept out of it. R.

On the 9Th Of May the Republican Club OF
the townehIp met at the Central school house,
pursuant to adjournment, but as there was no
election near nj hand, the interest in political
matters soon waned, and IL adjourned to the
call OF the President. Immediately after a
Farmers Club was organized, by calling j. n.
Miller TO the chair, and electing c. ID. Burdiek
Secretary. There seemed to be . good deal OF
interest taken in the affair, nearly every one In
the house having something to say. But rs
am not an adept In the art Of photography ]
cannot give you much OF an idea Of the elo-
quence that was displayed on that windy after
noon. The subject Of Pomology was lightly
touched upon, then the planting Of corn was
discussed at some length, and the conclusion
arrived at was, that deep planting is just the
thing, when the ground is as dry as IL Is now.
But the greater part OF the session was devoted
10 the discussion Of potato culture, in which
r. H. Abraham, j. NJ. Miller, H. F. Clarke, T.
T. White, C. d. Burdiek, J. s. Craig, Eli Stuck
er, J. Davis and J. b. Gilliland participated.
The conclusion arrived at by the speakers
was, that we do not plant enough; ought to
plant on rolling ground or in narrow beds, and
mulch part, so as to be prepared for either
wet or dry weather, 1t was also thought that
by manuring potatoes could be raised advan-
LaSeously ON the same grounu tor NUMBER OF
years. The kinds recommended were, Early
York, Early Goodrich, Early June, Early Rose,
Carter Peach Blow and Harrison. The rub
ject ELECTED so much interest that 1t was con-
tinued for the next meeting.
There was n committee Of three appointed to
report a constitution for adoption at the next
meeting, consisting Of K. Fl. Abraham, T. T.

Guadianna River.

The British army, when it advanced on Tai
avara and fought that celebrated battle, which
was followed by retreat into the plains, lost
more men by the malarial diseases contracted
on the banks of the Guadianna than by the
bullets of the enemy. They died by thousands.
All Europe believed that the invading army
was extirpated. Yet malarial diseases are no
more common in Europe than in our own coun-
try; they exist throughout the length and
breadth of our land-everywhere at some time
and in some shape are we made to feel the sick
ening influence of mlasma. The three great
actors in this equation of disease solar heat,
moisture, and vegetable decomposition. The
trio if separated are harmless, together they
are more potent for evil than any other known
agents; SO long as they exist, just so long will
