THE VALIDITY OF CITY BONDS
JUDIOIALLY INDICATED.

The decision Of Judge Woods respecting
the comparative validity of old and new city
bonds ought to be quietus to questions long
and unproftably disputed. Henceforth
efforts to give one class of city securities
preference over others ought to cease. It is
to be hoped that We have seen the last OF at
tempts to impair by litigation the obligation
of any class of the city's contracts. There
were many complaints Of the consolidated
municipal debt created or agglomerated by
the act Of 1852. There have been complaints
of every issue Of bonds since that time.
Whatever the city government does or what
ever the Legislature may decree respecting
the city causes many murmurs and much
bitter censure.
Questions are raised from time to time as to
the precedence which some obligations Of the
city have over others, and the holders of city
paper of any kind have learned to look with
distrust upon all classes of securities. It is
to be hoped that the monetary public will
henceforth begin to have more confidence in
the city's evidences of indebtedness, and that
local or distant capitalists holding city bonds
will no longer be under apprehension of
having the value of their paper destroyed by
hostile litigation. Certainty is the mother
Of Quiet and Repose say the old law books,
and we hope that such may be the results of
an elaborate judicial opinion and ruling upon
the paper which represents the now constitu-
tionally limited debt of New Orleans.
The bearing Of this decision on the pre-
MUM funding plan is important. coming as
it does Immediately af:er and in support of
the late act Of the General Assembly. 1t can
not make the premium bonds worth more
than the average of other city bonds, but it
will probably have the effect of preventing
them from falling below that average. The
scheme of refunding and redemption may
now be expected to 60 on without further i'm
pediment and to vindicat itself in the esti-
mate Of inanciers and the public.

GOV. AMEs's BEST DEED.

The last official act of Adelbert Ames, late
Governor Of Mississippi, was more sensible
in conception and more graceful in execution
than any other OF his term. By resigning
while the trial of his impeachment was pend
ing he will be understood, by those who be-
lieve him guilty of the charges preferred, as
having confessed the high crimes and INSIDE
meanors enumerated in the long cata-
logue prepared by the House. Those who do
not believe him culpable will construe his re-
signation as the easiest and quickest way to
escape from troublesome trial His
Radical friends will adopt this theory,
approving or blaming him according to their
various opinions as to what constitutes an
oface-holder's duty to the party which elected
him. The Radicals will try very hard to
make this appear to be case Of partisan per.
secution, but they will not readily convince
the reflective part Of the public or even, Of the
Republican party, that Ames had nor the best of
reasons for wishing to put an end to the trial.
It was his right to bring Witnesses from all
parts Of the State to disprove the charges, If
he had any such witnesses. But after due
consultation with his eminent legal advisers
he was probably told that he had not rebut-
ting testimony sufficient to secure favorable
verdict, and that his reputation would be
more damaged than helped in the process Of
the impending trial.
As it is he stands accused only; if the pro-
cedure had not been suspended he would have
been found guilty and expelled from the Office
which he has 80 meanly and treacherously
abused. The proofs Of guilt would have been
made part Of the records and archives Of
the State, and his infamy made historical His
counsel gave him good advice for which they
will be we'll paid; he was wise in acting upon
their suggestion, and will be blamed for it BY
few Of his party; and it was an act OF real gal
lantry on the part Of the House to permit him
to retire from his Office by his own frse will
instead Of thrusting him out with disgrace.
Free now from official cares he can
give proper orders for the conduct OF
his extensive properties. He can pack his
trunks and enjoy the felicity of travel. He
can visit Washington and be there received
by Radical magnates with hospitable honors.
he will be able to feel there among Radical
Senators and office-seekers that be is in con-
genial society, where every rich or powerful
or cunning political scamp is at once recog-
n;zed as an equal and boon companion
Then, after the campaign opens, be will be
useful to the r ,dical party by telling what he
knows abou. the srebels" in Mississippi his
residence there will give plausible color to all
the stories his fertile and practiced fancy is
so capable Of producing. and - he goes from

The telegraphic dispatches in this morn
ing's paper contains another evidence of the
desire and intention of the Radical members
of Congress to provoke to anger and intem-
perate utterances the Democratic members Of
both houses, and to ibfsme the sectional
hatred between the North and tbs South, in
the hope that, Coaded to wrath and forced to
resent implied insult, some Democrat might
reply in such way as to furnish material
which might be distorted to suit the purposes
Of the party. Mr.. Bayard's entire course in
the Senate has been marked by dignified
and manly bearing and q temperate though
positive style Of speaking. and there was
doubtless as much if not more in the manner
of Mr.. Boutwell, in the language he used
which caused Mr.. Bayard to resent the slur
evidently intended to be cast upon his past
record. Such men as Senator Eayard can afford
to stand upon their record, fearless of any at
tacks made by men of such political calibre
and moral standing of the Senator from
Massachusetts,.

A BAD ILLUSTRATION.

The paper-money men often refer to France
as an example of the correctness of their
views. and as an illustration of the benefits of
their system. France, they say, is paper
money country, and, in that country, paper is
at par with gold. Hence it is inferred that
psper-money is Q good thing, in itself, and
apart from its final redeemability; and it
ought to be at par with gold, whatever guam
tity of it the government may be pleased to
issue. But the conspicuous fact remains that
the paper money Of the United States is not
at par with gold, and little reflection might
teach the paper-money men that this fact must
have some sufi cient cause; in short that there
is some well defined difference between
France as q paper money country and the
United States IS paper-money country. The
truth is that the depreciation OF United States
currency depends on these two circumstances
first, its redundancy, and next, its incon-
vertibility, coupled with the uncertainty OF
its final redemption. France, on the contrary.
has adopted and has rigidly adhered to plan
for redemption of specie payments, and the
persistent adhesion to this plan has brought
the paper of the Bank of France to
par with gold. Under the operation
of this plan the bank has boarded
more than 1896, 100000, and the
process still goes on. The government. by
1879, will have repaid to the Bank the whole
amount which it borrowed during the war;
and at that time specie payment will be de-
finitively resumed. So far from being sup
port to the preposterous theories of the paper
money men, the example of France is entirely
at variance with them. The finances of that
country are directed by men OF common
sense, men who know that promise to pay
ought to mean something, and not by luna
tics who think that q promise to pay which
means nothing bat payment in another prom
Use is as good as gold, and great deal better.

Should it prove to be so there will be bril-

mitted to give their pupils an opportunity to
see the procession by an early dismissal or
giving full holiday.
