The Democrats in both houses Of Con
gress gave an airing on Friday to theil
Reputation sentiments. In the Senate
during discussion on the tax bill, Senators
Bayard. Thurman, Davis, and Casserly
repeated the threadbare Democratic argu-
ment in favor of taxing United States
bonds. In the House, Messrs. Holman,
Woodward, and Voorhees, struck at the
public credit in another manner by reiter-
ating the exploded arguments for paying
the fve-twenty bonds in greenbacks.
These gentlemen, says the Philadelphia

they cannot harm the country by CARRYING

what mischief they can TO the public cred
