Under the Funding net Of Congress Of July
II, 1870, the Secretary Of tho Treasury wab
authorized to sell or exchange any OF tho
per cont bonds or 4 por cent bonds in re-
demption Of per ccnts. But he was pro-
hibted from increasing the bonded debt.
Secretary boutwell,, however, In his dealings
with the Syndicate, issued to them the new
per couts in exchangs for per cents to be
delivered to him three months later; and this
Indirect but unquostionablo incroaso Of the
bonded debt he excused on tho plea that he
could not do otherwise. Congress subse-
quently whitevashed or condonel tho illegal
ity.
BY the specio-Paymont act Of Jan. II,
1876, It is provided:
And to eualo tue Secretary OF tho Treasury to pro
pare and provide Tor tl.s redemption la this act 4u
horxed aud required he IA authorized to any sur

Congress appr'sed July II. lk7o. . And Ill
provAlona Of Law Aconsstout with the proysE3ouA OF
th!s 4ct ars haroby repealed.
Under this act Secretary Ba1sTow considers
tho restriction OF the act Of 1870 against
incroasiug the bonded debt even temporarily
AZ repealed, and he has therefore sold from
twelve to fifteen millions Of per cent bonds
for bullion or coin at par. Tho Treasnry
now holds between ten and eloven millions Of
dollars In silver bullion and coin. With this
ho proposes to axoouts that part OF the law OF
1875 which authorizes and requirea that he

1t will be aaen that the Secretary In no
aonse increases the publicdsb he exchanges
per cent bonds for bullion which he
coins, and takes up the abominab!e fractional
currency.
Under this law the Secretary has to some

Largest Circulation in the District
Have the Moner Ready.

THE STAN agents who circulate the paper
throughout the city frequently complain Of
the Inconvenience to which they are put by
the failure OF subscribers tn have the small
amount due weekly or monthly, ready for
them when they call. No doubt this occurs
frequently from mere thOughtlessness on the
part Of subscribers IL does not occur to
them, perhaps, that the agents are required
to pay for their papers weekly, and that IL is
a matter Of serious embarrassment To them
when any considerable number Of their GUS
toners fail N pay promptly. If subscribers
will give this matter consideration. and take
a little pains IN have the amount due ready
for the collector when ne calls on his regular
days, they will do a thoughtful service to the
hard-wOrking and painstaking men whOprO
vide them with THE STAR every evening.

In view Of the large amount Of business
before the Senate Committee on the District
of Columbia, and the fact that tYO-thirtls of
the session is gone, we would impress upon
the committee the necessity of having full
meetings at least once a week There have
been no meetings now for several weeks, il
being impossible 10 secure a quorum. Yes
ferlay, "a stated in THE STAR, fully fifty
persons having business before the commit
tee were on hand. but no quorum appeared
and consequently nothing was done. Ycster-
day, however. a majority of the members OF
the committee had legitimate excuse for
their non-attendance on account of the meet
ing OF the republican Senatorial caucus.
Now, a. Friday IL the regular day for the
holding Of caucuses, we would suggest that
The committee change their time OF meeting
from that 20 some other day Of the week If
the members Of the committee are then
prompt in their attendance, there il no rea-
son why the more important business before
them cannot be disposed OF before the end OF
the session.

the legislature which elected him was an
illegal body. No direct vote was ever taken
and 10 il stated that on the 18th instant Mr..
PinchbacS resigned. This, however, he is
said To deny. In rejoicing him a few W eks
ago the Louisiana legislature adopted res
olutiOn, the first part of which reads-''That
The Senate (Or the House, of the state of
Louisiana do now, in the manner provided
by law, ~ n ia case 81 UoeaB,e.B, proceed 10
re-elect Senator L. b = Pinchtack Unitei
States Senator" &c, for the term which will
expire March !, 1879. IL is claimed that this
election was Illegal, inasmuch as it violates
United STATES statute which says that
whenever during the session OF the legisla-
Jure of any state, a vacancy occurs in the
representation of such state in the Senate,
similar proceedings TO I'LL such vacancy shall
De had on the second Tuesday after the legis-
lature Is organized and has notice of such
vacancy" The New York EUening Post per-
tinently asks If he did not resign why the
language Of the resolution OF the legislature
sas If N ease of vacancy? Ii looks now as
If his credentials would sleep in committee
until the end Of the session.
