The authority for the creation OF debt emanates
from Congress- and the authority authorizes its
payment, which, however must be expressed In the

made II for the express purpose OF protecting
the credit of the United States from the contingency Of
failure the part OF Congress I'm providing by appro
priaton for the payment Of any future maturing debt
OF the United States that the Secretary Of the Treasury
obtained what Ia known as "a permanent appropria-
tion" under and by virtue of which Mr.. Guthrie and
his SUCCESSORS anticipated with surplus moneys the
payment OF the public debt-Mr John j. Cisco, As
ssant Treasurer under the standing offer OF the Secre
tary paying high per cent premium In gold for
United States bonds.
The recent law in relation the redemption OF bonds
II strictly construed might elicit opinion from the
Attorney that the recent purchases Of bonds at
any price below par gold have been made without the
warrant OF law The purpose OF this act was to take
from the Secretary of the Treasury the power Of paying
the public debt In paper currency. 1t passed to
strengthen the credit OF the Government The purpose
of Mr.. Chase in framing the Fye-Twenty act was to

THE SPHINY7S RIDDLE.

There can be no doubt that the recurrence
of Sunday in the midst of the panic last
week was material aid in putting an end to
it. The run on the savings banks by small
depositors which began on Saturday was
brought to a sudden check; the contagion of
fright (aad the smallpox is not more con-
tagious) forcibly averted for twenty-four
hours, the sober second-thought had time to
appear and act. 1t was like the interregnum
of sleep in the hight of fever, that lowers the
pulse and clears ont and strengthens the
brain. If Sunday had no other use beyond
this giving of space and opportunity to the
wholesome econd-thOught, it would justify
its title to a wise origin. In fact, looked at
in purely practical light, the uses
of tomorrow are precisely that of sleep
or, as Hegel asserts. OF death-the repair
of the mans physical and spiritual nature by
an enforced season of rest. No engineer ex-

WHY NOT PAY THE BONDS OF '74'


The immediate, imperative necessity of the
situation, is some provision for forwarding
the produce of the country. If this remains
blocked up the crash in Wall Street extends to
all parts of the Union. If the block is re-
moved, our producing classes. who never had
larger supplies than at present, can market
their products, and avert the threatened
financial revulsion. Whatever. therefore,
loosens the deadlock of exchange is of prime

The writer of The subjoined letter will be
remembered as the First Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury throughout Mr.. Chase's adj
ministration. His judgment of the authority

THE PRESIDENT And THE SALARY GRAB

THE PRESIDENT And THE SALARY GRAB
The truth regarding the connection of Presi-
dent Grant with the measure known as the
Salary Grab is beginning to come out With
out laying much stress upon the fact, the
opposition newspapers have all along freely
charged that the President himself urged the
passage of the bill. Only one or two small
organs, whose zeal outran their knowledge,
attempted denial; the better informed kept
a discreet and dignifed silence. Congressman
who were acquainted with the facts, influenced
either by loyalty to the President or fear of
loss of patronage, held their peace, though for
the past month or two they have manifested
increasing restiveness under the criticisms of
the press and the action of their own con-
yentons, which have scored them merci-
lessly and let the President go unscathed.
The resolutions of the late Republican Con-
yention of Massachusetts, on this subject dis
eliminating as they did between the increase

Reverence for the past-unless, perhaps, it be the
past of ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, or ancient
something else that is a long way removed from
local sympathy-can scarcely be regardedas APRON

are sensitive enough to the venerable antiquities of
other nations and will travel far and pay literally to
behold them. But for relics connected with tho
history of their own country their respect is seldom
equally ardent. One by one, accordingly. the mo

We are glad to learn from Gen. Hillhouse
that the assumption that the fortyfour mil
lion reserve has already been touched in the
purchases of bonds is incorrect. The General
assures us that although he has but low cur
rency balance, he has not yet encroached at
all upon the reserve. He paid out but thir-
teen millions for bonds, the other eleven mil
lions going for the certificates of deposit under
The act of June :, 1862.

TRIBUNE EXTRA No. 10, issued this morning,
containing full report of the Portland meet
ing of the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, is publication in
many respects without precedent. The
progress, the researches, the discoveries during
the past year, of the most eminent men in
America, in all departments of science, were
set forth in the communications read at that
meeting and discussed by the members pres
ent best qualified to comprehend their scope
and value. The essential features of these
communications and discussions are very fully
presented in this Extra, which anticipates by
almost a twelvemonth their usual method OF
publication. A series of letters concerning
the new science of Deep Sea Dredging, the
work of the U. S. Fish Commission, and the
strange marine animals discovered, is also in
cluded in this Extra. No such variety OF sub

There are amenities in politics. Here is The
Utica Observer calling the Postmaster OF Pcekskiu
I" drunken loafer" simply because, after attending
the Republican State Convention in Utica, and de-
voting himself for whole day to the aIduous task
laid out by the Administration organ. which was
" to stle vain ambitions, curb greedy solfshness.
Danish factious feelings disregard Ring consdera-
TONS ignore sectional jealousy, and act the plane
of patriotism and craftsmanship he became exhl.
arated and was brought to the station-house ia
state of noisy inebriety" And because this gentle
man. who is connected with tho best civil service
on the planet" was finally discharged on the pay
ment of fine at the earnest solicitation of James
w. Hustled" The Observer makes the impertinent and
uncalled for remark that the latter gentleman
fought to seek better associates" Does not The
Observer know that in the great work of sitting vain
ambitions and curbing greedy selfishness a Briga-
der General like Mr.. Hustled cannot stop to choose
his associates' The levity with which The Observer
remarks that "the Postmaster was celebrating tho
Temperance plank in the Republican platform by a
debauchery.' is also reprehensible. The talk about
Civil Service Reform is leading people TO expect too
much of their Postmasters.

A correspondent in Brooklyn informs us that the
words attributed to Judge Nelson in the case Of
Holman agt. Earle were not accurately stated in
The TRIBUNE and other New-York papers The
language used by the Judge, which proved 40 dis
astrous to Mr.. Earle and will doubtless carry con-
sternation into the ranks Of bachelors was as fol-
lows: "In an engagement to marry, the contract
can be entered into between lovers without his
asking in words the question whether she will
marry him. and without her answering in words
that she will do So This contract or en-
gagement can be made without such words. If tho
facts and circumstances are sufficiently full and
significant to amount TO tho engagement. were they

supplies the lacking speech" If this be law, the

California politics appear 20 be in an unu-
sually fermenting condition. Not content with
electing majority of the City Government or
San Francisco and large fraction OF the
Legisatu the Independents have made
nomination for State Supreme Judge. In Cal
ifornia, to keep the judiciary out of politics,
the Judicial Convention for making nomina-
tons is held separately from that for all other
purposes The Independents (or anti-railroad
mem have been encouraged by their late
successes, and they now have nominated E. W.
McKinstry of the Twelfth District Court Tor
Supreme Judge. The party now formed began
in San Misunderstanding on local issues
and has fairly spread over the State. The
Californians are more fully emancipated from
party discipline, apparently, than any OF their
neighbOrs.

The demand for THE TRIBUNE on all the
leading avenues and thoroughfares of travel
in and about the city continues to advance so
rapidly as to Outrun the supply provided by
the cautious newsdealers, and the complaints
of our patrons multiply. We intend that every
person who wishes to read THE TRIBUNE shall
have the opportunity, and to this end we re-
peat the suggestions already made, which, If
acted upon, will relieve the difficulty. In the
first place, if you don't wish to miss an occa-
sional TRIBUNE, order it delivered regularly
by the nearest newsletter or carrier. Then, il
you find the supply of TRIBUNES already ex-
hausted, at the first stand you come to, don't
take the less salable substitute that is offered,
but make the newsdealer understand that you
must have what you call for, or you won't
buy. If these means are not effective, SEND
your order to this Office, and we will see that
it is regularly filed. The same treatment OF
newsmen on the railroads will soon be found
effective.

earth
Where charity dwe'leth, where virtue hath
Where bosoms in kindness and mercy yet
heave,
And the poor and the needy still ask and re-
Is there no place on earth where knock from
the poor
Will bring a kind angel to open the door?
No Search the wide world wherever you can,
There is no open door for a moneyless man
Go see yOnder hall where the chandeliers
Drives back with its splendor the darkness of
night;
Where rich hanging velvets in shadowing fold
Fall gracefully down in their trimmings of
Where the mirrors of silver take up and re-
Down the long lighted vista the 'wildering
Wow.
Go there in your tatters and find, if you can,
A welcoming hand for moneyless man !!
Go see yonder church, with its cloud piercing
spire,
Which gives back to the sun his last look of
