Our Public Credit.

From the New York Herald
1t is not long since as a people we were at
skies and sevens, to use a homely phrase.
We may now find a satisfaction in the fact
that we are comm. down 20 threes and fours.
A few days ago we were informed by tele-
gram that our British friends were selling
their three per cents. and consols and invest
ing in our new four-and-a-half per cents.
They are at last willing to trust American
credit to give them fifty per cent. increase of
income. London banks are selling consols for
the purpose Of investing in our new loan. The
comfort in this fact is that the world is begin
ginning to see us as we are, and to accept our
credit at its real value. This is especially
seen in q brief extract from the London Times,
which prints in u recent number an article
worthy of republication in America. "EVerv
thing at present." says the Times, "favors the
issue of the loan. Money is superabuniant,
investments yielding steady four per cent. are
scarce, and the credit of the United States
never stood higher. Add to this the fact that
as against the five per cent. funded loan the
new four and d-a-half per cents. will have an ad-
vantage in the date of their redemption, and
there seems no reason to doubt that the latter
will be readily placed at a good price. The
funded five per cents. are redeemable at the oD-
ton of the Government after 1881, and are
therefore subject to be sooner or later after that
date transformed into a four per cent. stock,
which is the only other denomination that the
United States Government is at present author
lied to issue. The four and a half per cents
now to be issued, on the other hand, mature
absolutely in fifteen years from September of
the present year. There is thus certainty of
fifteen years in the one case and of only five in
the other; for, although the six per cents of
1887 fall next 10 be redeemed, it is not i'm
probable that by 1881 that redemption may be
accomplished and the way prepared for an ope
ration with the five per cent. funded loan.
Many people may, therefore, be tempted to
exchange their five per cents for four and
half per cents for the sake of the longer i'm
munity from change, should the price be sulfi-
ciently tempting"
We congratulate our people on the steady
advance OF our credit in the money markets of
the world. 1t shows that in spite of the
wrangles and dissensions in our politics we are
marching steadily ahead, and although one
great party talks about reform" and corrup-
ton, and would change every department OF
the Government in the interest of "purity,"
we are enabled to redeem bonds which bear
six per cent, interest, and find abundant pur-

actly what Mr.. Tilden says the country
badly needs to have done, and it also shows
that the Democrats, when they have been
in power have never done these same
things The inference drawn by honest
minds from all these facts will be that the
Republicans had best retain control of the
Government. We heard but one opinion
expressed yesterday as to the merits of the
document. That was that it should be
placed at once in the hands of every voter
who is able to read for himself. With this
opinion we heartily coincide, and we are
glad to know that the National Committee
have already begun its issue.

disease, preachers dine well upon vice,
while lawyers flourish upon litigation, and
it really appears that all the hopes of the
Southern Democratic leaders are based
upon ignorance. Let the Government
come to the rescue Of that section, and do
for those misguided people what their nat
ural leaders are unwilling to do for them.
Slavery, the Nemesis of the South, has been
abolished, and while the adults of that Sec
ton may not be reclaimed, it is altogether
practicable to Christianize, anglicize and
civilize the younger generation, and rescue
them from the ills which now aff1ct their
seniors.

And christened it Secession.

If it should take all summer"
And so he ut, until he burst

If Tiden could associate with Tweed so long
and only discover his rascalities when they
were pointed out, and such incontroyertible
evidence produced by Republican newspaper

The policy of the British Government in re-
lation to affairs in the East seems not to meet
with the approval of the people. At meet
ing in London, at which the Lord Mayor pre-
sided, the course of the Government was con-
demned, want of confidence in the Ministry
expressed, and the speedy assembling of Par
lament asked of the Crown. John Bull is
very dogged, and will persist in these demands
until they arc conceded.

It is unnecessary to enumerate the "re-
forms" that would be inaugurated by the
election of Tilden and the party that supports
him. Reputation Of the national debt; the
assumption of the obligations of the Confed-
eracy; payment for slaves emancipated, cotton
and other property destroyed by either army;
pensions to rebel soldiers and kindred acts are
all embraced in the establishment of the Con-
federacy and the destruction of the Union.
Too much patriotism has been manifested in
the celebration of the Centennial year of the
Republic to permit the belief that the Amer
lean people will consent to place the power in
the hands of men who will make its Centen-
NAL year its last, and establish in its place the

1t would really seem as if taste for crow
could be acquired and the partakers come
at last to relish it. Four years ago 1t was
said by the Democrats that they had been sur
feited and never wanted it again, and for a
while they really turned up their noses at it.
Four years of fasting has, however, brought
them to an appetite, and they are now, in New
York and Massachusetts, taking hold of it with
an appearance of fondness for it. Occasion
ally, when they think there is no one looking,
they make wry face, but the promise that if
they go at it heartily they shall be allowed to
wash it down with unadulterated "National
Bourbon" keeps most of them at it. To eat
the crow and them miss the "Bourbon" will be
a sad dissppoin tment to them.
