A cam from Gov. STEVENSON printe

A CARD from Gov. STEVENSON printed
elsewhere nails to the counter the delib-
crate and Intentional talsehoods fabricated
q few days ago by the Register III regard
to certain federal appointments in this city
and district. These stories we're manu-.
fitcturcd by that concern out Of the whole
cloth for tho purpose of excitinga feeling
against tho Governor among the friends
of Capt. RAwLINdsand Capt. siNGLEToN.
1t seems strange that a newspaper which
makes any pretenstons to character or
sense should be so indiscreet, If 1t could
be so dishonest, as, to tabricate in this
reckless WY, wien IL was certain that
time would expose it if nothing else did.

The Currency and Government Bonds

~ GtAiter spending months in talk Congress
has settled down to actual work, and
having passed the Currency bill there Is
some probability TINT u compromise may
he effected between tic views OF the Sen.
ate and tic House on the Funding bill,
but there Is no telling what shape It may
assume in tho Committee Of Conference,
which now has It III charge. It Is proba.
bio that a long bond, bearing 4 or q per
cent interest, will be authorized, and al.
though VIC do not think such o bond could
be negotiated atpar, a contrary opinion is
entertained BY some, and the probability
of tho passage of such a bill IS undoubted-
" depressing tile New York market for
Government securities. There Is, how
ever, no good reason why tho 5-20 bonds
should be at a less premium than gold, as
they arc certainly worth par in gold, even
If those on which the option OF payment
has matured arc called in and paid of.
Tho idea that the troubles in Europe will
cause otir bonds to DO sent home VIC think
Is faIldcious. An exhaustive war Will
depress the securities Of the gov.
ernments engaged in, it. while capital
will seek the securities Of counties
like ours, which have demonstra-
ted their ability md disposition to pay
to tho utmost farthing; and Grc not only
at peace, but likely to remain so, being far
removed from the theatre Of strife, and
encumbered with no "entangling allan
ces. ~ A war in Europe, too, would en-:
large the foreign market for the products
Of this country, and enrich us while It
impoverishes the nations engaged In 1t.
So that we look rather to see an advance
than q depreciation in United States seCu-
rites in Europe. at the same time, It our
exports are increased to such an extent
that no gold Is required to settle our for
eign balance OF trade, the accumulation
Of the precious netals In this country will
reduce the premiumon gold, and thus indi'
rect1y affect the premium on bonds in the
course Of time ,!Y.a'R i','i'yF r. 's''
The Currency bill authorizes the issue
Of $4,000, 600 OF National Bank currency
TO banks yet to be organized, based upon
Government bonds, with o margin Of 90
per cent This will absorb $4,000, 900 of
bonds, which, with the current purchases
Of the Government, will probably take all

The report, which has been widely cir.
culated for the past day or two, that lWer-
ther, the Prussian Ambassador at Paris
had been recalled, is not true. .,g, lia.,
In official circles here tho situation i

Is therefore regarded as q mere Pretext!!
