Hard to Please.

The Democrats are exceedingly hard to
please in relation to the finances of the couu-
try. The papers that took every occasion to
disparage the successes Of the Union arms
during the progress Of the late rebellion now
seek to belittle what the governmental has done
and is steadily doing to diminish our financial
burdens at home and establish securely our
national credit abroad. The most recent ex-
hbitious Of this unpatriotic spirit have been
called out with reference to the measures
adopted by MIR. Boutwell, for converting the
outstanding 6 per cent. government bonds
into others bearing only per cent interest.
The simple fact of the case is that all our
bonds which were issued in time Of war,
bear a war rate Of interest. Congress on
the recommendation Of the secretary of the
treasury, though after long delays, passed a
bill authorizing the exchange Of these bonds
for others running for longer period of time
and bearing a lower rate Of interest-the
"a
long term of years is more desirable as
permanent investment than a bond bearing
higher rate, but payable at an earlier day
Great Britain has repeatedly reduced the rate
Of interest on her bonds in this way by simply
saying to the holders, when they became due:
20 You may have your money, or new bond
that will pay you less than than the old one
did" The breaking out of the European war
postponed the attempt to negotiate our new
loan when it was first authorized but lately
the undertaking has begun and, as we stated
last week, an arrangement has just been eff.
fected by which combination of European
and American bankers have agreed to dispose
of the $3.50, O00,0 600 of the ) per cent. bonds
now offered. Nearly s20,OO0,OOO of the
amount offered in Europe has been applied
for in advance of the opening Of the subscrip-
ton books, and the bonds are at premium
Of to Ii. The effect Of this movement
has already been to advance the price of Other
United States securities Even if it were
true, as some of the papers allege, that Mr.
Boutwell, has not managed the business in th'
wisest way that surely is no reason for de
preciating the substantial success he has SC
cured, nor for the yirulent and unreasonin
attacks that have been made upon him, as
he were laboring with might and main t
bring about the destruction of the country
For fair and honest criticism there is Away
place, but partsans who can find no bette
resource than this noisy vituperation betra
the weakness of bad cause.

There has been and is no Fictitious growth
in our place Whatever advance We have
made, is solid and permanent. 1t was not
originated by any causes that are likely to
cease 10 their operation. The large sums that
have been contributed to public objects are
only the exponent Of our actual prosperity.
We shall take occasion to show this, next week,
in the general statistics of the business of the
town. We think we can satisfy our own peo-
pie, who are the most difficult of all 10 satisfy
Of such thing and who have never been
content with any progress we have as yet
made, that beside steady advance in all
things that go to make up prosperous D. !
influential community there is now better
foundation for future development here than
in any town in the STATE, with one or two ex-
ceptions-e,en if they are exceptions. The
same energy applied to the future will pro-
duco very much larger results We have
just got the materials for a more prosperous
future together.
Three quarters Of million Of dollars ex.
pended in fifteen years for public objects that
add incidentally to the advantages of a town
that have given US an admirable machinery
for our social life and progress that will
satisfy our wants if we should double in size
and make all repetition of the expenditure
unnecessary, have put our town in the fore
most ranks in all respects but population, and
will invite, with other things to which we
shall hereafter alude, population that will
exceed the expectations Of the most sanguine.

Truth Plainly Told.


The Ohio Republicans opened their cam.

1t would seem to be fixed fact that my
Lord of Lorne is to be Governor General of
Canada, and is to reside in the Dominion with
his royal bride. The intelligence will be re-
ceived with raptures of delight by the en-.
thusiastc Kanucks. If there is any one
thing for which they are distinguished, next
to the desire Of getting reciprocity treaty
out of the American government, it is their
devoted loyalty to the royal blood loyal
ty which the manifest unconcern of the Eng.
fish government about Canada does not at
all impair. They have hoped to secure a
Prince of the Guelphs, veritable son of Vic
toria but they will be pretty comfortable
with son-in.law, who brings with him an
amiable daughter Of the Queen. We trust
for their satisfaction that the report will not
prove false.

TIM Mormon PRoBLEM AGAGN.-Among
the long suffering Mormon women, thousands
are so ashamed of their slavery that they
would escape if they could, and infict signal
punishment on their tyrants if they dared.
But none of them have, until recently, found
the bona ide remedy for their evils A Ger.
tain Mrs. Hawkins, overcome with shame and
remorse at the thought that her brute of a
husband had number Of other Mrs. Hawkin-
SEES, has taken the last desperate resort, and
pursued the husband into court on the charge
Of adultery. Being wife number one she has
a right to bring an action against him, and
have him arrested and held, because there is
no law which recognizes poygamy. This ac.
ton has created quite a sensation and many
most reverend Mormon deacons are trembling
in their shoes Hawkins will doubtless get
severely into trouble, and all the thirty or
forty Mrs. Hawkinses, except the original, will
be left lamenting Then will they see the er-
ror of their ways, curse Mormonism, and de.
part from out Brigham's nest of iuiquity
Thousands will follow them.

Governor Stewart and Colonel Fisk.

The newspaper story that Governor Stewa TT
left the stand at the recent Bennington eel G.
bration when i'm Fisk arose to speak is not
true. We have interviewed His Excellency
upon the subject, and learned that owing to
the excessive heat, both he and General w.
f. Smith left the stand as soon as the latter
finished speaking, while the band was playing,
and when they supposed, by information re.
ceiyed from the president Of the ceremonies,
that the exercises were through. As soon as
the music ceased the president announced that
the exercises were over, bat loud calls were
made for Fisk, who stepped forward and the
president said, " Here is Mr.. Fisk, who can
speak for himself and Immediately left the
stand. Some minutes before this, Governor
Stewart had ridden off with friend to the
shade, so that he neither heard Colonel Fisk
nor exhibited the bad taste (since both were
invited guests, to publicly insult him.
Those who have the honor Of the Cover.
nor's personal acquaintance need not be told
he has no respect for such a man as Fisk, and
not only abhors his views, but would feel I'M
pleasant in his society but our honored
Chief Magistrate is a gentleman altogether
too well-bred to mar the pleasure of any of
his friends, especially in public manner, even
though some of them may have shown bad
taste themselves; and it was strictly in accord.
ance with this nice sense of propriety, as well
as with his personal and official dignity, that
he declined to visit the residence Of Nj Put
nam in the evening because he knew that Fisk
was there. Furthermore, in justice to the
people of Bennington, We have reason to be.
lieve that most of them regretted the hasty
action Of one Of the committee inviting Col.
Fisk, Notwithstanding he and his celebrated
band constituted an undoubted attraction to
the morbidly curious, for they felt that his
presence as guest would be an insult (unin.
territorial, of course) to every other invited
guest who honors virtue and respects a good
name.-St. Adams Messenger

REDEMPTION or t. s. BoNDs. - Accord

to be given by the Secretary of the Treasu
ry, and in three months after the date of suct

deemed at present
