ninety days in which to make payments
the $65,OCOOOO of bonds subscribed Tor
in July have not yet been paid for
or taken, and, therefore, do not appear
in the debt statement. But the Syndl-
cate has given notice to the Treasury that 1t
will present $50, 900, 900 of six per cent bonds
in exchange for that amount of four per cents
and corresponding calls have been issued by
the Secretary of the Treasury, which ma
ture during this month and next. Inc 1Our
per cents will not appear in the debt state
ment until, by surrender of six per cents or
by payment of gold, they have been pad for
fully, and the calls already issued show that
more than $j0,000,000 will appear III the
next statement, even if subscribers should
fail to pay gold for any part OF the re-
mainder. In all probability, nearly the
whole amount subscribed will appear az
outstanding November 1. The market prce
is at present below par, but so little that no
subscriber can afford to lose the amount de-
posted with his subscription; his loss would
be less If he should Immediately sell the bonds
at current rates. But there is 10 reason Tor
supposing that the price will not advance soon
after the payments are completed, on the 10th
inst. The fact that money temporarily COM
mands higher rate than per cent in the
street sufficiently explains the readiness OF
many, who subscribed for the bonds three
months ago, to sell them Immediately, even at
some loss in order to employ their means
more proitably.
The Treasury is moving steadily toward re-
sumption, and thus far without interruption or
serious obstacle The Drcmium on gold, which
was 1Olt one year ago, has declined to 3lS'
and could be put much lower at any time by
the Treasury or the banks if it were by them
deemed advisable. We believe, and have
urged, that the continued accumulation of coin
will in time produce such a scarcity as to push
the premium upward, and perhaps interfere
with the plans of the Secretary. But every
thing has worked well for him thus far, and
we hope that he will not hesitate to accumu-
late legal-tenders instead of coin, if at any
time his present method should begin to lift
The price of gold.

Talleyrand said that the Use of language was
to conceal ideas The use of debt statements,
by some Secretaries OF the Treasury, has
seemed to be to conceal facts. But Secretary
Sherman continues to make ms monthly state
ment more complete, interesting and valuable,
by adding information which has formerly
been sought in vain. The decrease of the
debt during the month of September was
SO, $50, 524 so, after allowance for an esti
mated increase of So, 500, 900 in the amount
due to the army bat which ill-tempered Dem
ocrats refused to appropriate at the proper
time The full amount of such Indebtedness,
now $7,000,00 Is included by the Secretary
as part of the debt. The decrease in out
standing legal-tender and fractional notes
amounts to 81 ,446,914 -, and there Is a small
decrease i'll the amount OF debt on which inter
est has ceased. On the other hand, there is

coin certificates outstanding has been about

the retirement of over one million in legal
tenders. To show, at a glance, the changes in
the debt and the condition of the Treasury

which all forms OF debt ON which interest has

Mr. H. +. Payne, of Ohio, in speech delivered at
Sandusly on the 9th ult., referred among other
matters. TO the Electoral Commission, of which NE
was n member, and inadvertently threw good deal
of light upon the motives which influenced the
Democrats in their acceptance of that tribunal. He
admitted what everybody from the beginning has
known that the friends of Governor Tilden
in asserting to that method of adjusting
tho difficulty, supposed that it would be
perfectly safe for them to do so. They
acted it appears in the full expectation that Judge
Davis would be appointed tho fifteenth member as
umpire and that their and their candidate
would be safe in his hands. Mr.. Payne says that if
il had been anticipated that Judge Bradley either
of the other judges, would he appointed to scat in
the Tribunal, the Electoral bill would never have
been reported to tho Houses, enacted into law
In a word the Democrats believed. whe talking
Of arbitration and of far judicial decision, that
they would have n commission with them upon every
essential point and had 1t been otherwise in spite
of all their patriotism and of all their desire for pa
cifc proceedings, they would then and there have
given the whole proceeding its quIetus. 1t is proper
specially to call attention to tho fact that Mr. Payne
good Democrat he is in this speech at least cast
no imputaion upon the fairness or legality of the
decision. Ii was not what it might have been, if
Judge Davis had been the fifteenth member
that is about the sum of what tho Ohio
speaker had to say about it. We see from this more
clearly than ever how utterly impossible it will be
for the Democratic party to make an issue out Of
any presumed unfairness in the verdict. If Judge
Davis, for satisfactory to his mind, re-
| fused percmptorly to act, the hand of Providence
