TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS MORE
The Secretary of the Treasuary gives
notice that in ninety days hence, or on
and after March 20, 1872, he will redeem
twenty million dollars more of the five
twenties of 1862. Progress at this rate
will o do away with any need for
Congressional interference to help specie
payments, for before the many bills
now cogitating are engrossed their OBJ
ject may have been achieved.

[From the Fan Nan Gnzette. De.

From the Pail Mall Gazette, Dec. 81
The New York Herald, having given
TO its readers the earliest intelligence Of
the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, points
out that "the journalistic triumph it
thus secured is by no means an isolated
or even an ~extraording ole, although,
perhaps, more remarked than usual
from the fact that the whole population
of New York was eagerly awaiting the
appearance of His imperial Highness.
Day by day, SAYS the Herald, its columns
present similar instances of exclusive
shipping news, and its list of arrivals is
every morning far more full and COM
plete than that published in all the other
daily papers. The expense and labor of
collecting this information is enormous
and incredible, but, of course, the
Herald does not grudge the cost, only it
cannot help giving itself credit for a
magnificent feature of its establish
ment, which enables it thus to keep up
its character as the most en:eTprising
newspaper in the world. 1t is, perhaps,
not generally known that the Herald
keeps a fleet of steam yachts, and from
the account it gives of these yachts they
must be as beautiful as they are useful.
1t says
Our feet OF steam yachts is now an
essential and valuable part of the Herald
establishment. These little yachts dash
and dart about outside Sandy Hook at
all hours and all manner Of weather,
keeping a sharp lookout for homeward-
bound vessels, boarding them and steam
ing rapidly to the nearest telegraphiC
station or up TO headquarters with the
news. The painting of their engines is
hoard through the fog and mist while
they are themselves invisible on the
waves. Their graceful forms are seen
riding saucily over the toughest seas
and bearing onward in the teeth of the
hercest gale as they pursue their adven-
turous and important labor. g .
Atall hours of tie night and far into the
early morning, while others sleep, these
vigilant and untiring collectors Of news
are busily employed al a heavy expense
in order that those who send forth theil
wealth on to the uncertain ocean may
learn at the earliest moment the SAFE
arrival Of their ventures.

This is the way a Democratic paper,
the Ohio Statesman, shows its love for
Grant:
1.-THE Western Reserve Chronicle,
edited by Mr.. Ritezel, late Representa-
tive, hoists Grant and Garfield, thus
concentrating all the brains and honesty
at the tail end of the ticket"
Il would be expecting too much to
hope that the Democrats would admit
that our ticket for 1872 was perfect, and
the fact that they recognize " brains and
honesty" in one-half Of it, is evidence
that some OF them are getting their
vision cleared somewhat.
