The NEW FIVE PER otNI.LoAN.

y
Department; says the the Cleveland
Leader, that arrangements have
been completed for negotiating the
remaining $300,000,0OO of the new
five per cent. loan. Mr.. Boutwell,
at first intended to put on the mar
ket two hundred millions, but the
American and foreign bankers bid
ding for the loss having combined
and assured the government of their
ability to place the whole amount,
the entire three hundred millions
will be issued. The contract of the
government with the syndicate is
complete and signed, bat its terms
are not officially known to the pub
lie. They are, however, said to be the
same,with some slight notifications
favorable to the government,as those
on which the previous syndicate
negotiated the first two hundred
millions of the loan.
In proceeding with this business
in this manner Secretary Boutwell,
has the concurrence of the President
and Cabinet, and will be supported
by Congress and the public opinion
of the country The first cost of
placing so large loan bears no pro-
portion to the saving effected in the
interest by replacing a six per cent.
short bond with a five per cent. long
one. While for the first year, the
Government may make nothing, in
the long run it is very largely the
gamer by the transaction. There is
no doubt but that the whole loan
will be placed within ninety days,
and then our six per cent. bonds
will be retired and cancelled. Hold
ers of these bonds may expect early
notification of the stoppage of inter
est, as the SECRETARY will call in the
outstanding six per cent. as fast as
the receipt Of the new fiyes enables
him to take them up. " -.'''-=i4
The announcement of the new
loan produced an immediate effect
upon our securities in London, where
they were excited and higher i'm
mediately.ot This indicates a large
foreign demand for the new bonds;
which will be-preferred to the five
twenty per cents by many investors
on account Of having twenty and
thirty years to run, with no option
on the part of the government for
earlier recall -sa E.. ai-rl#- I.s
1t can hardly be doubted that far
more of the new fives will 60 out to
Europe than enough to replace the
skies that will be called in from the
same countries. This will make for
eign exchange easy, and check ship
ments of gold on European account.
The effect of these negotiations in
this country will undoubtly be to
transfer a large amount Of capital
from government to railway and
other mortgage securities, where a
higher rate of interest can be realiz-
ed. But there is no reason to appre
hend any fighting of the money
market on account of these transac-
tions. The rapidity with which the
exchange will be, effected, will not
premit the money used in it to lie
long idle, or to be locked up by any
party, and ultimately it must all
find its way into the hands of the
holders of the five-twenties which
are to be recalled, to be by them
used, or reinvested as they choose.

Humor of RenartinY.

Rowell's Newspaper Reporter complies
n number of extracts showing the latent
humor of local editors, of which the fol-
lowing are specimens:
The reporter is sometimes obliged TO be
complimentary where it "goes against
him." In these cases he is apt to put it on
q little heavy. For instance:
1.-THE walkers in the procession timed
their steps to the dulcet notes of the mel
low drum"
He would gladly have said a band of mu-
sic, but that would have been too palpable
piece of praise.
Here is n pretty good description of an
attempt at larceny:
John Ryan, passing a Canal street
trunk store, coolly shouldered one of the
show trunks and walked off. He had neg
lected to notice that it was chained fast,
and after taking few steps it was jerlled
off, bringing him on his back. y police
man helped him up"
This one hints darkly at an interview of
the practical kind:
1.-THE Chicago reporter who, armed with
ladder, attempted To interview Long
J ohm Wentworth as to the truth of the
| statement that Horace Greeley once called
him "A undetermined, slovenly cross be-
| tween n yam and a cylinder press, is slow
! ~ recovering from his injuries. He says
what John told him is unfit for publica-
! tom
The reporter does not like vanity in
clothes, and seldom misses an occasion to
remove any exuberauce of sartorial pride
that may come under his notice. Refer
ring to particularly vain parsonage, he
| describes rs follows an imaginary accident
which has befallen him:
"NIr. -- lately sought to remove 6
grease spot from his coat tail by the free
use of benzine, and then stood close to the
stove that the odor night evaporate more
quickly. He was quite correct in this the
DRY but unfortunate in his practice, for he
was soon turning cartwheels through the
window, and there was not enough coat
tail left to make 'wesket' for doll baby
He does not ride horseback now, and sleeps
on all-fours like mule.n

The MeaneSt Yet.

Some gentlemen were talking about
meanness, when one said he knew man
on Lexington avenue who was the mean
est man in New York.
"How mean is that ?' asked a friend.
"Why, he is so mean that he keeps q
five-cent piece, with n string tied to it, to
give to beggars, and when their backs are
turned, he jerks it out of their pockets.
"Why, this man is so mean" continued
the gentleman, "that he gave his children
ten cents apiece the night before the Fourth
of July, but during the night, when they
were asleep, he went up stairs, took the
money out of their clothes, and then
whipped them in the morning for losing
it!n

NOT QUITE A DUEL.
MIR. whitthorne, of Tennessee and GEN
Butler.

Butler.
Especial dispatch to the New York Times,
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 27.-The passage be-
tween Messrs. Whitthorne and Butler, last
night, in which the latter was understood,
and so reported in the Washington paper,
to have charged the former with having
been implicated i'll the improper abstraction
of funds from certain banks in Tennessee,
provoked Whitthorne so much that he felt
compelled, this morning, to resort to the
old time method of demanding satisfaction.
He accordingly selected a friend, General
Grassland, of Kentucky, to wait on Butler,
and asked if his illusions had been correct
~ reported. To make the matter more
formal and to clothe it with all the Incl
penney ola threatened duel, Grassland was
armed with a letter in which Whitthorne
quoted the offensive remarks, and explain-
ed that he denied the truth of the assertion
as applied either to himself or eX-Governor
Isham G.. Harris, of Tennessee, on whose
staff he served at the time the abstraction
of money is alleged to have occurred.
Old "Ben" was too willy, however, to be
entrapped by such an emissary as Cross
land and declined to answer i'll writing.
So the kentucky General was compelled
to report to his principal the utter failure
of his mission. He did this in a note adj
dressed to Whitthorne, in which he states
that Butler had admitted that he intended
no personal illusions, and, further had
promised to make the matter right i'll his
corrected speech.
The correspondence will be printed in the
Repltblican of this city tomorrow, and
whether Butler really did misrepresent
Whitthorne to "point moral and adOrl
a tale" in Ames' defense, and did it know
ly, is a question that can only be answer
ed when his speech is revised or he makes
public retraction.
