Save Seven Millions.

In mis- annual report, Secretary Biistow
earnestly called the attention of Congress to
the subject of putting upon the market new
bond bearing low rate of interest, with the
proceeds of which outstanding 5-2O bonds
bearing per cent interest should be called
in. The Secretary recommended that $780,
100000 of IL per cent. bonds be put upon
the market at once. 1t was his opinion and
that of financial men generally, that such
bond could be promptly negotiated. The con-
dition of the money market warrants such
conclusion. The vaults of bankers through.
out the money centers are crowded with idle
money. Business being stagnant, invest
ments in railroad and other securities prov
ing risky, and safe investments scarce, it was
just the time to put such bond upon the
market. At the present time the bonds of
our government are regarded with favor The
credit of the country has recovered from the
temporary injury which blatant repudiators
brought to it. This class is now known to be
in such miserable minority that it is re-
garded with contempt. Yet, strange to say,
the Democratic House has failed to heed the
earnest advice of Mr.. Bristow, and at the end
OF five months, no action has been taken to
enact law authorizing the Secretary to take
steps to save the country $4,000 per
annum of gold. Such measure was an easy
one to perfect and could have been passed by
the House before the holidays.
What excuse can the Democratic House
offer the country for its five months delay in
passing the bill which Mr.. Wood has laid up
on the Speakers table? 1t is possible that
the majority of that body cannot appreciate
the Importance of saving $780, 900 annually?
Are the Democrats, ex-confederate and 9TH
wise, afraid that a Republican admiastra.
tion will derive all the credit for the success
of such measure? The slogan of the House
has been economy-is it not worth while to
save $7,500,000, or are the days of the session
better employed in depriving West Point
academy of is band and in summoning stark
idiots, disgraced and discharged clerks,
wretched dead.beats and convicted criminals
to testify before committees in Eecret session {?
Does the Democratic House think: that the
intelligent people will be satisfied with its ex-
hibition of economy by which the fast mail
trains will be discontinued and the postal SER
vice again put at the mercy OF the railroad
corporations in order that few millions may
be saved while it refuses to pass bill which
will retain over seven millions in the treasury
which now goes to the bond-holders?
The Democratic House may as well under
stand first az last that the tay-navars will 70
gard this delay as malicious effort to cripple
the government for fear that Republican
| administration may enjoy the credit of saw
| leg $7,5000,OO0 year. If the majority in the
House continues to neglect to authorize the
exchange of the S5O0,OOO,00O in IL per
cent. bonds for the outstanding per cent.
bonds, they may be charged with having de
liberately robbed the people of S7,5O0,OOO a
year for partisan purposes.

THE Cabinet has had under consideration
the question of departments surrendering the
originals of books and papers to the House
committees. The subject was referred to the
Attorney General. 1t is understood Mr..
Pierrepont's opinion is to the effect that
the House had no right to demand the papers
if refused them, and that the sentimen of
almost all the Cabinet was that it would be

THERE is prospect of considerable incon-
venience for time, occasioned by the with.
drawal of scrip and the slow substitution of
silver coins. The Treasury has only paid out
about million dollars so far, and very little
of this sum has got into circulation, people
choosing to hoard instead OF to pass it. The
stringency cannot last long, however at the
rate the mints are working. The demand
for silver is increasing daily, an indication
that the substitution is satisfactory one.

The amendments by Senator Morrill, of
Vermont to the pending bill in regard to sill
yer coin divest that bill of all its Objectionable
features. A silver dollar which shall contain
45O grains instead of 412 cannot be objected
to on the score of over valuation. The re-
striction of the legal-tender limit to five dol
lars and the amount coined to $5O,OO0,O0O
does away with other complaints. The pro-
vision providing for the redemption of the
small notes, ones. twos, and fives is wise
one, while the amendment fixing the legal
relation or gold and silver at 17f to in
stead of 15a to l is in accord with the state of
the bullion market. The bill as amended
would probably be acceptable to all the adyo-

trast point moral that is obviously applicable

nnd where their help may do the most good?

1Tnow appears that Wilkes Booth attempted
to assassinate President Lincoln at his second
inaugural. While the President was passing
from the rotunda of the capitol to the plat.
form at the east portico, Booth pushed hur-
rledly through the line of policemen and made
desperate effort to reach him. Mr.. J. w.
Westfal of New York seized him and forced
him back. By this act Mr.. Lincoln's life
was undoubtedly spared at the time. After
the assassination of the President and when
it became known that Wilkes Booths at
tempt to reach the inaugural platform had
been thwarted by Mr.. Westfall, the latter was
promptly promoted to be lieutenant of the
capitol police force. as mark of appreciation
of the great service he had rendered the coun-
try. From this position he has been dis
charged by the Democratic House, doubtless
for his impudence in interfering with Mr..
Booth.

Taking into consideration the character of it's
vouchers, the history of its cures and the immense
increasing demand, VEGETINE may be fairly en-
titled the leading medicine of the age.
For scrotula in the blood, VEGETINE is an in
tallible remedy, and no person need suffer from
bumors ulcers, and all diseases arising from impure
blood, if VEGETINE is used according to directions.
VEGFTINE will not cure, provided however. the
vital functions have not lost their power of action
all that may be said to the contrary notwithstanding
VEGETINE is pleasant to the taste, mild in its in
fuence and absolute in its action disease, as the
following unquestionable evidence will show.
