A PEACEFUL VICTORY,

News comes from Washington that
only $2S,0O0,000 of the new 5 per
cent. bonds remain in the Treasury.
ALL the rest of the $500,000,000 issue
has been subscribed for and sold.
Ere long, the insignificant remnant
remaining will be taken. The placing
of these bonds will then have enabled
the Secretary of the Treasury to re-
deem an equal amount Of the 6 per
cents. This saving in annual inter-
est will amount to 1 per cent. on
$5O0,00O,000, or 100000. The
people are freed from a yearly tax of
this amount. This is a notable Illus
tration of the fact that honesty is the
best policy. The law which enabled
the Secretary of the Treasury to prac-
tically fund the 6 per cents in 5s by
selling the latter and using the gold
thus got to redeem the former was
vigorously opposed by many Demo-
cratic Congressman. They argued
that the country ought to cheat its
creditors by redeeming the s per
cents in greenbacks, then worth any
where from IS to 88 cents on the
dollar. But this Republican meas
ure has enabled us to keep perfect
faith with our creditors, and yet save
more money than we would have done
by paying the bonds in legal-tenders.
For the average time the new 5 per
cents will run before payment will be
at least twenty years, and the saving
in interest, each year, is per cent.
on the whole amount. The total
saving, therefore, will be 20 per cent.
so that We will practically redeem
the old $40 bonds at cost of 80 pei
cent. If we had taken Democratic
advice, and paid out greenbacks in
stead of gold in exchange for the
bonds, the cost would have been from
85 to 88 per cent. instead of 80; We
should have broken q solemn pledge
and our credit would have sunk SC
low that in all probability we should
not have been able to negotiate a sin
gle bond in Europe for years to come
Honesty has been the best policy

FOREIGN MARKETS.

day has the following review of the
corn market for the week: With
abundant importations, prompted by
the unfavorable aspect in July, and
generally successful gatherings, the
course of prices has been further
downward, say from 1 to 2 shillings,
and though we see no: cause for an
immediate reaction, we think the re-
luctance of farmers to sell, with the
frmness of foreign holders, may check
the further downward movement.
The present depressions are more to
be attributed to immense foreign ar
rivals than anything else, but we may
expect a speedy falling off in these
supplies, and some reaction in prices
because none of the export markets
have been reduced in like proportion
to England. In Belgium the decline
has stopped. 1t is much the same in
Holland, while some German mark
cts show higher rates, though St
Petersburgh has shown some reduc'
ton, and as every quarter which has
recently been placed in granary will
be needed, it is but reasonable to ex
pect' better prices will be paid as the
season advances. The general aver
age, which represents the business o.
a fortnight back, is higher than last
year by l shilling II pence, but trans
actions at the present time will about
bring rates to level.

AKENTUCKY SOCIETY INCIDENT,
From, the Cincinnati Gazette.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
They had an interesting little So
ciety incident over at Paris, KY,
Friday night, at the ball which wound
up the Bourbon county fair. A
young man-one of "the Clay family,
sah"-proposed to enter the ballroom
in a drunken state and a .disorderly
manner. Being withstood by the
city Marshal, he drew his revolver
and opened a fusilade on the Marsh
al. Thereupon the Marshal drew his
revolver and returned the fire. But
the pistol of the scion of zone of the
first families of Kentucky, sab, u
only snapped every time, while the
MarshaPs went off four times, and
hit, too. The incident added much
to the festivity of the ball, especially
to the girls that went from the north
side of the river. The condition OF
the scion of chivalry was thought
critical. Of course, if he had: shot
the Marshal it would have been all
right; but as it was the other way the
just and enlightened sentiment of go
ciety toward the Marshal found ex.
preston in such observations as
"Wel], he'd bettah get out of heah

attendants did not believe it was possible
to save her, but your medicine acted like a
charm. and has eventually restored her to
health. Her recovery seems almost a mira

the deepest gratitude. Your Balm will be 8

there is any obstacle to its introduction

family i'll, should rather have your reme-

to the sick and afflicted everywhere.
