of the sinking fund commissioners to cause
to be prepared ffty-year 3.65 bonds OF the
District of Columbia of the denominations
of fifty and five hundred dollars, for the
means of the payment of which. principal
and interest. in lawful money, the faith of
the United States is pledged. These bonds
shall be registered in the office of the
ComntroIler of the District and in the Office
of the Register of the Treasury of the Uni
ted States, and the sinking fund commits
sioners are authorized to exchange
said bonds at par for the above named
certificates of indebtedness of the
board of audit The holders of certificates
are not compelled to accept the 3.65 bonds
in exchange for their evidence Of debt. If
they prefer to hold their certificates instead,
they are at liberty to do so. This is aques-
ton for them to determine. They simply
have an open offer of untaxable bonds with
fifty years to run, at low rate of interest
guaranteed by the United States, in ex-
change for them. The question naturally
arises as to the comparative value of such
bonds as contrasted with notes secured by
a like pledge, bearing no interest. We
have maintained that the intrinsic value of
these bonds is at least 3.65 per annum
greater than that of the United States legal
tender notes, which never mature, and
which draw no interest. AS an investment
for savings we have commended that these
bonds would become deservedly popular on
account of their length and their exemption,
from taxation as well as their easy convert
bility whenever the necessity for realization
should arise. None but Government securi-
ties, or those for which the Government is
responsible, are registered in the United
States Treasury. That these 3.65 bonds
are practically the bonds of the United
States, no one can deny. They are to be
registered in its Treasury that their interest
may be regularly provided for as that of
other Indebtedness. They are to be paid
out as currency at par in currency. When
we reach coin payments the principal and
interest of these bonds will be payable in
coin. Government five per cents are now
quoted at par in coin. The Secretary of
the Treasury expects soon to be able to
place Government four-and-a-half per
cents at par in coin, or at a hundred and
ten dollars in currency. And if Congress
at its next session slraIIld provide for the
redemption of greenbacks N coin the Dis
trict guaranteed bonds will Lacome coin
bonds. AS to the intrinsic value OF them
there can be no question. They are safe,
and furnish the best of collateral, and will
be readily convertible. 1t may suit inter
ested parties to depreciate them, but this
will soon be found losing game.

PROFESSOR TYNDALL, in his Belfast ad
dress declaring that he is a materialist in
the hardest sense of the term, has aroused
a storm Of discussion which now reverber-
ates throughout both continents. If, in
stead of declaring disbelief in the exist
ence of q God, he had placed himself on
record as opposed to monarchical forms of
government, the result would have been
different In palmer words, he has made
himself hero as the leader of the mate
rialists Of the civilized world; but if he had
attempted to lead the republican, spirit Of
Great Britain, we would have heard before
this that he had been ostracised and ban
ished from the enjoyment of the privileges
now so freely accorded to him by the sup
porters of the monarchy.

Nor LONG SINCE we had occasion to notice
the enterprise Of the Philadelphia AH-DGy City
Item in adding Sunday edition to its regular
issue. We predicted then that the pluck and
versatile ability of Col. Fitzgerald and his sons
would win success in Philadelphia, where sue
cess in journalism must be earned to be
achieved. The fact that the Sunday edition
of the Item has galloped to regular issue of
over $4,000 gives Verifcation to our prediction.
And now we are called upon to notice another
progressive step of the Item, viz It has been
determined to initiate the New York Herald
and put bundles of the paper on fast trains
and deliver them daily in Washington and at
intermediate points. This is a bold step for
Philadelphia journal, but Col. Fitzgerald has
shown himself bold man in pushing his pa
per, and one who will not lose the good he
may win BY fearing the attempt. Hereafter
the AH-Day City Item of Philadelphia will be
delivered in Washington every evening and
sold for two cents per copy. Brad. Adams is
the engineer selected for this end of the line.
We will thus be able to obtain Philadelphia
afternoon paper on the evening of its publica-
ton. The Item is a good, spicy paper, and we
hope this effort of Col. Fitzgerald will meet
with the success It deserves.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-09-09

THE Congressional canvass is opening
lively in Virginia. In all of the districts
save the Fourth the Democrats have made
nominations. Thus far only three Repub-
Hcan candidates are in the field, viz: Hon.
J. B. Sener in the First, Hon. ]. H. Plat
in the Second, and Hon. c. Y. Thomas in
the Fifth, as candidates for reelection. Mr..
Plat, though opposed by Hon. John Goode,
will be triumphantly reelected. In the
First district Mr.. Sener and his Democratic
competitor-Major Douglas-are hard at it.
They discussed jointly on Thursday last at
King George Courthouse, on Saturday at
Bellefair Mills, in Stafford, and on Monday
at Brentsville, Prince William county, and
tonight they cross lances at Fredericks-
burg. Va. All accounts that reach us are
TO the effect that Mr. Sener is making a
most gallant fight with his competitor, and
if we read the signs Of the times Alright, the
fight will be very hot and close, but Mr..
Sener will win He surely ought to do so,
for no man has ever made q more faithful
local representative-the very thing Vir-
ginia now needs. From Mr. Thomas's
district we hear but little. Mr.. Thomas,
however, is well and favorably known in
Virginia, has often been honored by ser
vice in her State councils, and in the ses-
sion Of Congress just closed there was no

We sincerely hope to see him returned.

BRIGHAM YOUNe's affidavit in the di-
vorcc case pending against him, brought in
behalf of Ann Eliza Young, does not coin
eide with his public teachings. In it he de-
clares solemnly that he has but one wife,
while in his published sermons we find
that he not only admonishes the faithful
that polygamous marriage is a duty, but
commands that the women Of his flock
shall submit to it cheerfully. Exactly how
he can reconcile this apparent inconsistency
it is hard to understand, but it is probable
that he will maintain that the proceedings
in the Gentle court, under Gentle laws,
are not binding upon his MOrmonship, and
that in consequence he was privileged to
take some latitude while making the oath
referred to.
