The st. Louis Republican suggests
that the Government give the choice to
the holders uf Unitod States tive-twenty
bonds between having them paid, or eX-
changing them for bonds bearing only
frur per cent interest. There are now
outstanding about 500. 200. .000 of those
bonds. bearing six per cent interest,
say $i2,0oo.nN per annum. The pro
posed reduction in that interest would
relieve the treasury of an annual pay
ment Of Slt. .0o0. 900 and tend greatly to
the reduction Of the rate of interest on
money loaned. The situation in Europe

The silver 1usrrEcy.

Fred w Alexander writes as follows
to the New York II 1ibtNC.
| think Your excellent paper should
instruct the people that the present use
of silver fol fractional currency is not in
any sense to be considered as return
TO specie payments. If hole be bored
IN the bottom OF barrel. all the water
the barrel contains knows how to find
the hole. just so all this silver will
flow to California. where four quarters
will buy gold dollar, and we have not
enough silver to glut California and its
connections: consequently there will be
scarcity of small change in the other
States, and Congress will be called upon
10 provide for new issue Of fractional
currency. Then the intiationists will
point with derision to the silver failure
as an argument against specie pay
ments, when the truth is that silver is
issued because at this particular time
il is worth less than paper.

WAsHINGroN. May The scarcity OF
small change for business purposes has
become SO great that u flood OF com
plants is constantly pouring IN on the
United States Treasurer and Senators
and members. At tho Treasury De
partment more than 100 letters have
been received from various parts of the
country. and che Department is also be-
set by members Of Congress who seek
TO serve their constituents with small
change as well as garden seeds and pub
lie documents The silver substitution
thus far has proved h ialule at least
the Treasury officials seem to 10 Of this
opinion. Trouble seems 70 arise from
what Is sometimes called IL ''rani Ky"
feeling among the people Thry know
tnat fractional currency Is to bc swept
away, and they know as n consequence,
that II must soon be scarce. In this be
lief they are boarding it, Even bust

they are able to spare it from their bust

OUR DELEGATION IN CONGRESS-.

The impression has gone abroad that
she DEMOCRAT is unfriendly to Gen,
Gibson, our member OF Congress from

We feel at liberty to jest occasionally
mt the expense of our members without
being cassed as their enemy. Gen.
Gibson has been active in the Interest

appoint the committee to investigate

In all of these bills Louisiana is inter
ested. auj ia some of them very largely
Under the circumstances, our Demo
eg.tio members OF Congress have done

Nstead OF consuming them for not ae-

Judgment and an unselish and patriotic
purpose, it il apt to wreck its possess d
upon rocks the stormy passions 1t ar
rousos may hurl him. Judge Hancock
Of Texas, Is very able man and much
honored by his people. He was recently
n conspicuous candidate for the United
States Senate from Texaa, and he
seemed. at one time. the strongest can
didate in the field. Before the election
took place, however. his friends got
up speaking match for him
and he made. Judging from what some
of the Texas papers say. a speech boast
ing Of his Union views before and dur
ing tho war. and attacking the Con
federacy and its leaders We have nc
no doubt this speech killed of Judge
Hancock in the Texas Legislature. and
it ought to have done 50. We are re-
pcatedly told that we must bury the
past. But the Northern people and
Southern men like Judge Hancock seem
to think that only half Of the past should
be buried. and that the war pf crimina
ton and denunciation against the
South should continue in all its IN
bridlad forncity The Suuthsn people
have eaten a great deal Of dirt it is
true. bat they have not yet come 60

trampling upon and reviling the sacred
memories OF its people Nd one now
condemns Judge Hancock FOR having
bAcn a Union man. nor even for having
refused to cooperate with his people al
ter the die was cas' But he should not
think to make political capital out OF
his Union record and denunciation Of
the course Of the leaders Of the Confcd-
eracy The Southern people may think
Judge Hancock displayed some wisdom
in opposing secession. but they will re-
member that Gems Lee and Early. and
other great men Of the Confederacy,
also opposed secession and il they are
forced tomake this parallel. they will
always be apt to carry the comparison
still further. and contrast the suhse
uueut course of Lee and Early with that
of Hancock.
We should like to see all questions re-
lating to the war dropped out OF our
politics and remitted to history, The
love aud veneration we feel for Jefferson
Davis and the other lllustrious men and
gallant soldiers OF the Confederacy can
never be eradicated from our hearts.
except by a process which would
ut the same time make Us slaves
unfit to be citizens OF the Re

bitterness, its sorrows and glories. its
triumphs and caiamitics are of the
past. They belong only 10 history aud
to our hearts. We can love our heroes
and love too a Union that is magnani
