THE PACIFIC COAST INTEREST
The Liberal editors have been dis
cussing the Presidential nominations
with some reference to the prospect
i've importance of Governor Booths
name. Sam Bowles, it appears,
thinks Adams and Booth the ticket.
Horace White reverses the order,
and says Booth and Adams. Hal
stead leans that way. Whitelaw
Reid thinks that Speaker Blaine is
the stronger and the coming man.
This is tho way they have recently
gossiped to a Pacific Coast journalist.
1t is impossible, however, to predict
what national strength Newton
Booth will gain. Much is expected
of him; and when he goes into the
Senate he will have trying time.
Every word he utterS will be care
fully criticised. There is no doubt
that the Pacific Slope is more strong
ly represented in the national coun-
ellis and in national ideas than any
other section of the country. But
what effect on the country will there
be from the existence of three strong
men: Booth, who was elected to
the Senate against fearful odds, and
whose work, so far, is in his own
State; Sargent, who defeated Caleb
Gushing for the Chief Justiceship;
and Jones, who is the /" lightning

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCEs IN
PARIs.-The Paris correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press thus speaks
of one phase of crime in the former
city. In several of my previous let
ters 1 have spoken of the numerous
mysterious disappearances which
have taken place in Paris during the
past few moaths, and of which the
denouement is usually the reappear-
ance of the vanished individual at
the Morgue or in the Seine, a CHASTITY
corpse. Some light may be thrown
on the moduS operandi of these ira
gedies by the experience OF young
and wealthy American gentleman
now residing in Paris. He received
one day letter written in delicate
female hand, requesting him to be
at the Cafe Brabant at certain time,
when he would find there carriage
waiting before the door for him.
The letter was signed .'Silence and
Discretion" The young man, not
being given to seeking such adven-
lures, tore the letter up and thought
no more about it. About week
later he was walking late one even
ing on the Champs Elysees, when he
was accosted by we'll dressed and
gentlemanly looking man, who
after asking him some trivial ques-
ton about the streets or the hour,
entered into conversation with him.
After talking little while the
stranger said in frank and jovial
manner, " Young man, like your
looks, and l admire the Americans.
Come home with me to supper. 1
will give you a good bottle of cham
pagne, and i will, moreover, intro
duce you to the handsomest woman
in Paris" For answer the Ameri-
can turned on his heel and left him.
AS the young gentleman in question
is in the habit of wearing constantly
a magnificent set of diamond studs,
that fact may account for his Tempt
er's persistent pursuit of him. Had
he accepted either of the two invi-
tations, he would probably at this
moment be reposing on the slabs of
the Morgue or in the muddy bed of
the Seine, for in precisely such a
manner was a young Frenchman
entrapped, who was never heard of
after, till his body was found float
ing in the river below the Point
| Neuf.

A PERSIAN SToRY.-A terrible
story comes to us from Persia. In
one of the districts laboring man
had been sentenced to be bastin-
| ADDED for some offense, receiving
$50 blows on the soles of his feet.
As he sank down on his knees after
the sentence had been carried out,
and it was believed that his injuries
were of a serious character, he called
the judge to his side, intimating that
he had terrible secret to reveal.
AS he could only speak in whis-
per, the judge placed his ear to the
lips of the fainting man, when the
latter seized it with his teeth, and in
his agony bit it completely off.
In Persia the loss of an ear, no
matter under what circumstances,
is considered lasting disgrace, and
the Judge so felt it. He at once
gave orders to have the prisoner
carefully cared for, assuring the
physicians that if they did not save
his life, their own should pay the
penalty, and they succeeded.
When the prisoner was fully re-
covered, he was sentenced to have
his teeth pulled out one by one, in
presence of the mob, and this, sem
tence was carried out, two days
being exhausted in the work. No
pains were taken with the horrible
job, and the jaws We're broken and
crushed until the whole lower part
of the mans face was a mangled
mass, and his sufierings were so
great that many of the men tainted
in witnessing the operation. Two
days after, the little life in the man
was beaten out of the soles of his
feet, and the judge, having fully
satisfied his thirst for vengeance.
committed suicide.

spiracy is being conducted with marvellous

we shall in few years be able to sell four
per cent bonds at par. Those who believe
this must of necessity believe that any five
per cent bonds which are now bought for par
will not sink in value. However, we think it
a little premature to agtate the question of
four per cent bonds just now. 1t will be easier
to reduce tho interest one per cent on five
per cent bond than two per cent on six per
cent. We ought to finish up the change of
six per cents into fives, and then, In 1881, we
can put the whole Public Debt, greenbacks
and all, into the shape of four per cent bonds,
provided only market can be found. That
is what we are aiming at, and 1t seems rea-
sonable to suppose we shall get there sooner
by moving than by standing STILL Let the
four per cent men, and above all, the three
sixty-fve per cent capitalists, reconcile them
selves to five per cent interest for a while,
and take hold and relieve Mr.. Bristow of his
1790O0,000.
In the event that subscriptions are not re-
ceived by Thursday noon sufficient to absorb
the whole amount of bonds offered, we hope
Mr.. BristOw will issue his call for the
redemption of fivc-twentes to balance
whatever subscriptions he may have, and
again invite proposals until the middle of Au-
gust. We hear much of this and that Syn
dicate and their power to obstruct the loan,
but we have yet to be convinced that the Sec
rotary of the United States Treasury cannot
do, what any old farmer can-dispose of
marketable commodity at its market price
We want to sec these bonds sold, and sold to
our own people. We believe great majority
of our honkers and conitalists want the same
thing, and will cordially help to bring it about

An ABSINTIIE PROPHECY.

There is o gentleman in France who be-
tween glasses of absinthe has neat knack of
prophecy. His name is Xavier-Eyma. Gazing
upon our miserably misgoverned country with
the impartial eyes of Europe, he behOlds
coup Fetat looming up in three years dis
tance. We are about to overthrow the insti-
tutions of 1870. The pretensions of Gen. Grant
to third term have alarmed "thOse Amer
leans still attached to the Republic, the num-
"ber of whom is much less than people be-
liever This statement must be true, for Miss
Emily Faithful has confirmed it. Who then
dare contradict And because it is true, Gen.
Grant has only to aim at an imperial scepter
to feel it within his grasp M Xavier
Eyma turns over the few written pages
of our history and discovers that to
Andrew Jackson came also the vision of
n third term but alas this stormy and am
bilious general renounccd it, because in his
day the Republic was loved so passionately
that imperialists smothered their aspirations.
Now we have changed all that, and, according
to NJ Xavier-Eyma, what Jallson undertook
with temperamental impetuosity at an unfav-
orable epoch, Gen. Grant has resolved to
carry out with the cold calmness of an emf
nently calculating disposition, with the obser-
yation which belongs to him, and the prudence
which is his distinctive characteristic. NJ,

TIE ETkDED IO1y.

There are still outstanding 5000, 100000 OF the
five-twenty six per cent bonds, which may be
called in and paid off whenever the Treasury
is able TO make that disposition of them.
There are, unfortunately, only S179,0OO0OO of
five per cent bonds which can be issued under
existing laws. These are offered to the com
petition of the public at minimum price of
par in gold, payable within three months from
the date of subscription; but no matter at
what time payment is made, interest on the
bonds must be paid by the purchaser for three
months, beginning from the date of his sub
scIiptiOn. Suppose that an investor has his bid
for these bonds accepted next Thursday, and
wishes to take the bonds Immediately and
close up the transaction. He will have to pay
par in gold and three months interest, making
in all 10lt. This price is just about equlVa-
lent to the present value of the bonds on the
Stock Exchange. The only advantage In
buying of the Government for cash would con-
sist in this: purchase of five millions could
not be made i'll Wall Street without materially
raising the price above the present figure,
whereas the only difficulty in getting five or
fifty millions of the Government is in getting
the money to pay for them, walving, of course,
the contingency UildJ sOIlc Ouc cioO uoOo iiO'
bid higher for them. We have already several
times observed that Congress, in leaving the
Secretary of the Treasury with power to sell
only S179,000,000 of five per cent bonds, or, In
other words, with power to reduce the inter-
est one per cent on only $l79,OOO,OOO out OF
s93OOOO,OOO of six per cent bonds now paya-
ble grossly neglected its duty. The same
charge may pc brought against 1T for confining
the Secretary to needlessly awkward conditions
in negotiating the new bonds, which Will pro-
duce the failure of the present attempt should
it fail. The question Is, are the new flves
worth 1Oii in the markets OF the world, and
are they likely to rise3
We think there is no GOubt that both these
questions should be answered in the ailirma-
tive. The condition of the money markets
throughout the world is favorable to the
advance in price of the securities of those
nations whose credit is of the best, and such
nation is the United States, in spite Of
Butler and Morton and the Indiana Democracy.
We, have taken from The London Economist
the prices III London and Paris of some securi-
ties of the class mentioned, as they were
quoted on the 4th of July, 1873, and Sd Of
July, 1874 respectively. The United States
bonds are quoted at their true price, reckoning
New-York tribune., 1874-07-21
the par at lUU:

Here we see that in spite Of the financial
crisis, French rentes and United States and
Massachusetts, bonds are already from three to
five per cent higher than they were a year
ago. This is in accordance with law to
which we have before once alluded. After
commercial crisis investors invariably prefer
for two or three years the safest investments
that can be had. The average price of British
consols was higher in 1888 and 1889, following
the commercial difficulties of the preceding
wears, than in any other year of the decade.
The highest prices of the decade, 1Sil-'5O, were
in the easy money years 1915. After 1917
the revolutionary agitation disturbed the
European markets for Government securities,
but for the years 1859-'0 and 1873, following
the pancs of 1857 and 1866, an advance OF
about FIVE per cent in cOnsols was established
in each case over the average of the prices OF
the two years just before the panlcs'
The prices of consols in each OF the four
wears 1889 and 1878 were higher
than in any other of the twenty years
since 1854. 1t is said that by steady per-
sistence in the Boutwell, Or Do-NothiDg policy.
