IT IS noteworthy fact that during the last
few days the United States bonds of 1881
have commanded more than their face value
in gold. Yesterday they were quoted at from
117a to 1174, while gold fuctuated between
116f and III. The credit of the Government
is thus fully restored on one class of its seou-
rites, and the most skeptical capitalists are
forced to acknowledge the ability and willing
ness of the American people to redeem their
obligations in sterling coin. The increase in
the gold value of the bonds has been so
gradual that the general public are scarcely
aware that they have now gone above par,
but to all who remember how the national
credit was for time decried, and how often
Democratic prophets predicted that the debt
never would and never could be paid, the
present position of the money market pos
sesses O deep significance. The financial
policy of the National Administration, and the
stern denunciations of every form of repudia-
ton by Congress and the people, are rapidly
producing their legitimate results, and has
tening the day when greenbacks will be worth
their nominal value in gold, while the Gov.
eminent bonds will rise to as high premium
as they attained before the war. The first
year of Grants rule is about to close with Q
record of nearly one hundred millions oi
bonds purchased and q sale of sixty three
millions of gold, and it is not strange thai
such record has completely paralyzed the
depreciators of the national credit.

WE hope that Congress will not be SO un-
gracious as to refuse the modest request of
the Franklin Institute, the City Councils, and
the State Legislature, ''to recognize the fact
that the city of Philadelphia is, and of right
should be, the place to hold, and that the year
1876 would be the time to inaugurate, an ex-
hibition of the industry of all nations" No
where can one hundred years of American
progress be more httingly oommemorated
than in this city, and at no spot could larger

cession of Grape and banners

hung its flags at halt mast for
the memory of Scanned, the

no symbol of grief for the loss
of Admiral Farragut. Private

some show of honoring the day

Mobile was laid TO bis rest, but
not one of the city edifices bore
the slightest sign of respect for

Of a political campaign in
which it will be urged that The

steadfast friends for one of the
opposite party, We publish
the following acts passed by
The present Congress for the
benefit of this class of citizens
1. About S2,O0O,000 com.
mutation money from Quakers
on account of the draft, also in
fines, &c, was transferred to
support the national soldiers

2. just pay and allowances
were restored TO those deprived
Of promotion by being in rebe,

3. Provisions were made to
supply artificial limbs regular.
ly during life to all who lost
their own in service. .
4. An act passed directing
that where no frauds appear on
the papers, an officers account
shall be settled; thus cutting
the red tape vexing many vol
unteers. r. r.r
s. The Marine Hospital ser
vice was reorganized, thus be-
ing better fitted TO benefit the
volunteer navy seamen OF the
war now in the merchant ser.
vice. e.r 1.
6. Pensions are to be paid
quarterly and by mail, and
without deduction for vouChs
ers.
7. The time for filing claims
under the general bounty act
of 1866, was extended until
December 1st, 1870, an acl
passed that no premium once
definitely fixed shall be di-
minlshed.
s. Officers were authorized
to retain their evidences OF
honorable discharge; not to
give them up as heretofore.
o. 1t was enacted that any
one having been in the nation.
al service may enter a quarter
section of land upon the even
numbered sections along any
land grant railway. Besides
the advantage of being upon a
railway, the minimum price of
these lands is $3.50 per acre,
being double the value of 9th.
er selections under the Home
stead law.
The soldier entering the
lands must be an actual settler
on the tract entered, he need
only take his discharge and go
in person to the Registrar, at
any Land Office in the West,
and select a quarter section
not taken up, pay a fee of $40
and sign an affidavit OF identity y
and loyalty.

was authorized to give con-
demned ordinance to any asso'
