Sale Of Five Per Cent. Bonds.

WASHINGTON, September 6.-The rapid
| sale of five per cent. bonds, ana Tue Certain,

millions authorized by law will be funded
this wear, raises the question as TO Wnetber
the Secretary of the Treasury will proceed
to sell the four and q half per cent. BONDS
and accumulate gold, or proceed with tne
funding of this loan. National banks are
trimming their business in anticipation OF
speedy announcement of the Secretary 5 In

ON wednesday last the Western National

that amount of gold. Treasurer New then
gave the Geographic order TO transfer that

The amount of contraction of the currency
since july l, 1874, is nearly forty million dol

United States Treasurer, under the act OF

Southern Outrages.

The vindictiye Senator MORTON has made
agreat effort in Maine to startle the people
anew about southern outrages. He has
pictured to them the kuslux with all his ar.
tistic skill, and has aversed hundred times
tina. the South is full of them.
But his pictures do not seem to have had
much effect. They are like the et6gics that
boys make out Of gourds and pumpkins and
ilamina.e with talow candles. Nobody
save simpleton here and there is stsrts d at
them.
Some of the foolish, not to say rascslly
Radical presses are endeayoring to second
the efforts of MORTON by using the disturb
ances in Georgia and the riot at Clinton,
Mss. as new outrsges upon the negroes.
Those disturbances will not do for any
such purpose. Indeed, outrages are out of
fsshoD, and they Gao be no more available.
The vindictiye Radicals will find this out
and abandon them. MORTON is the only Ia.
dieal orator that now IN axes any attempt 10
disturb the public mind in this way, and he is
provoking more distrust for himself than he
is Of irritation towards the South.

SENATOR CAPERToS FOR ISFLATIoN-HE
THINKS THE ATTEMPT TO RESUME WILL FAIL -
Washington September "a published let
ter from the Sweet Springs Of Virginia refers
to the financial views of Senator Caperton, OF
West Virginia, who is at that resort. He Is
represented as saying that nearly all the
Democratic journals in the East have gone
mad on the subject of the currency. The
Scpator is represented as being the most ultra
of the paper-moHey advocates, affirming that
it would be Il calamity to resume specie-pay
ments at the present time. The Senator said
be was convinced that the attempt to resume,
according to the Republican plan in 1870
would, if persisted in, inevitably fail, to the
dishonor of the national credit. He believes
the attempt to resume at the time fixed viii
result in virtual protest of the Government
paper, and will postpone rather than haste L
resumption.

Editors Of the Dispatch: The reply of Ma.

Johnston's letter, with the editorial OF your
paper of the 9th, were we'll received by the
prominent gentlemen sojOurning at this re.
nowned resort for the Invalid and the plea
sure.seeker. There was but one opinion, as
far as could hear, on the subject. In the
discussion Of it the question was asked, How
could it be possible that the bill before Con.
gress last winter asking aid for the compile
ton Of the Texas and Pacific railroad was in
the interest of the Morrill, and northern
road 10 disguise, when it received so large a
support from the representatives from the
South, and so pronounced an opposition from
the representatives from the North aud
Northwest: And this determined us to make
an analysis of the vote taken last February,
and the reader of Senator Johnston's COM
munication will be surprised at the result.
Tue res ,lution offered by Mr.. Houghton,
of California, on February %, 1915, only
week before the close of the session Of the
Forty-third Congress, was "That the rules
be suspended so as to allow the Committee
On the Pacific Railroad to report on WedneS-
day evening next, at the hour OF half.past

The Tabl9 Turned,

Some time since, on one of tie
North River boats, lady, who had
attracted much attention for the mascu
line turn of her manners and converse
ton, was seated at the table opposite a
gentleman, who, in taking some
butter, in the absence of the usual
knife, used his own, which the lady
observing, called aloud to WAITER
"Wait-ta bring another plate of
butter; that man (pointing to the
gentleman) had his knife in this!"
The unfortunate wight almost sank
under the curious gave of all the
company; but said nothing, determined
to watch his opportunity to return, for
the cruel modification. change in her
own coin. He waited but moment.
Grey plate of dried beef was handed to
the lady, who unceremoniously took
some in her fingers, and placed it upon
her plate
"Wait- tai exclaimed the gentleman,
in turn, "brmg another plate of beef;
that woman has had her fingers nthis!"
A most ungallant roar from all the
company fairly turned the tables against
the lady, and she had the good sense
to acknowledge its desert, and Join
heartily in the mirth it created.
