Senator replied that che was to much absorb

A LAWYERS ADVERTISEMENT. The Mr.
Stoughton with whom Prince Arthur dined
on Friday evening is II well know lawyer,
not far from sixty years of age. Ihey tell
an amusing story of the manner in which he
has brought himself before the public.
When q young man, entering upon the prac
ticc of law. he would walk up and down
Broadway with one or more volumes under
his arm, wearing u very learned, knowing
look Finally he used to ride down town in
an open barouche, with one law book spread
out in his lap and one or more on the seats
beside him. This novel procedure of course
attracted attention, and people would ask,
Who is that? In this clap-trap manner he
made himself known. Mr.. Stoughton is one
of the finest looking men in New York. He
IS tall, and us straight rs an arrow, and has
II most luNuriant head of iron gray hair.
Among thousands of people he would at
once be marked for his physique; and his
success at the bar is owing to his command
ing presence, great dignity, confident, know
ing manner, than to any superior abilities.
Where or when Mr. Stoughton scraped an
acquaintance with the prince l have not

interest, aud which II the Democratic
do,trine be followed, will never be re-
deemed. This they propose 10 the face OF
the solemn provision Of the law author'z-
ing the bonds, that the amount Of green
backs in circulation should never exceed
fouf hundred millions Of Of dollars. These
various opinions found the anplest illus.
tration in their platforms, speeches and
votes during tie last three years.
On tue other hand, the Republicans
hold that The debt is a sacred obligation,
for tho payment Of which the justice, hon
or and good faith of the whole nation are
pledged; that. apart from the dishouor
and wickcdness OF such course, its re-
pudiation in any form or degree would
bring neasurelcss disaster upou us and
our postcrity. To prevent such calam-
ity they have not only passed resolutions
aud laws dcnouncing reputation. but
have rendered it impossible by any amend
ment to the Constitution which enables
every public creditor to defend his rights
in the Courts, should his robbery be at
tempted by recroaut President and Con-
gress. 1t has been and is the fixed Cpin-
lou and policy Of the Republican party
that the honest course is the cheapest;
that the best mode of tightening the bur-
den Of the public debt is SO to improve the
public credit that the bonds may be refund
cd at lower rate of interest. One per
cent. reduction of the rate will save the
patton from twelve to thirteen million of
gold per apnum. Like the cause Of the
Union during the war, the public credit
has been advanced by every defeat of the
Democratic party, and is depressed by all
their successes. The election Of General
Grant was the signal for the immediate
Improvement Of the public credit.
Since then our bonds have steadily adj
vanced in value, until now they are nearly
worth their face in gold. This enhance
ment of the public credit led the Repub.
licau party to believe that tho time had
arrived when the debt could be refunded
at lower rate of interest; aud on the 18th
Of July last bill was passed by Congress
which provided for funding ono thousand
millions Of the debt at four and half per
cent, and two hundred millions at FIVE
per cent. The law carefully guards
against all extravaganza in its administra.
ton. 1t provides for no appointment Of
fiscal agents at home or abroad. The
work Of refunding is to be carried on by
tho financial officers of the Government
Ny own fear is that four per cent. is so
low a ratio that the bonds will not be ta-
ken at that price. ffthcy will, that is the
best feature Of the law.
That bill passed the House July 18th
by vote Of 1870 ayes to 81 noes, and the
Senate passed it by aaoto of % to TO-
Not ono Democratic Senator or Rep;e-
sentative voted for it. Five Democratic
Senator's and Gfty-throe Democratic Rep
resentativcs voted against it. While they
are explaining why they voted against the
great reduction of taxes perhaps they will
also be so good as to explain why they
voted solidly against the reduction of our
annual burden Of interest on tue public
debt.

Iowa, under Republican rule, has paid
off all her public debt, and has largo
surplus: Indiana has paid the last dollar
she owed, and her bonds arc no longer the
sport of Wall street stock jobbcrs; Illinois
has steadily reduced her Indebtedness, and
has at easy command the means to extin-
guish it; and now comes Michigan, which
has reduced her Indebtedness about two
millions in the past eighteen months.

enc reason why the French Generals

dered woman had been buried in a stone
heap. The body was searched for, but
without success. Time passed away and
no clue could be found to the missing wO-
man. The suspicion, however, that she
had been killed by her husband still ex
listed; and this suspicion was grated into
tue minds of her children, who, after they
grew up, prosecuted the old man in vari-
Gus ways aud in such a manner that he
had no peace the remainder Of his lie
The old man died, and, in about forty,
years from the occurrence above narrated,
the long lost wife returned to her old
home. She stated thatshe had never been.

Sigaus had never done her any harm; that
she had moved away and bad chaugsd-her

man, by whom she had two children.
