admit that the Leavenworth TINES has al

respect and has never lost an opportunity
to lend it helping hand, though We have
always thought that the best way to &c.

Onset the same amount of credits. These
bonds are to range IRON ten dollars to one
hundred dollars in even multiples of ten
up to fifty. The rate of interest is to be
5 65-l00 per cent, that particular rate being
adopted for convenience of calculation,
since the interest on a one hundred dollar
bond will be exactly one cent per dav.
These bonds are to be exchangeable at the
pleasure of the holder for regular iour Per

year or two ago he made several lucky
guesses about the weather, and immediate

the United States firmly believed that h

passage Of the Silver Bill, and now comes

ic paper-snd pays him the following COM
pliment:
We are in receipt of Senator Ingalls, speech
on the silver bill. 1t is a neat, sensible ex-
position Of silver currency as the money OF
tue people. Mr.. Ingalls, refutes the claim
that the faith Of The nation is pledged to pay
its debts in gold. Every act of the govern

The demonetizing Of silver leaves but gold

stores both gold and silver coin to pay its

PEACHES.

Our Kansas e.changes-especially those
in the southern part of the etate-say the
peach buds are swelled, almost ready to
open, and that with = few days of warm
weather the trees will be in blossom. There
is nothing particularly encouraging in this,
for though il is hardly to be expected that
We shall have any very severe weather, we
cannot reasonably feel secure from frost
for at least six weeks, and if the peach
trees come out now there il much reason to
fear that We shall have . very short crop.

THE SLAVE TRADE.

Grave suspicious have been entertained
for some time past that negroes along the
southern coast were being kidnapped for
deportation and sale, as slaves, in Cuba.
On this account, Mr.. Leonard, Of Louisiana,
was not long ago appointed on a confden-
tial mission to the Governor General of Gu
ba, and a secret special agent of the Interior
Department was employed in the Southern
states. 1t now turns out that resident OF
Savannah, Georgia, is alleged to have made
overtures to this agen; to enter this contra.
band trade with him. Sailing vessels were
to have been chartered to trade from Savan-
nah and other Southern ports laden with
whatever cargoes could be procured, or
with ballast, if necessary. These vessels
were TO be manned by much larger crews
than were actually necessary, with super
numerary deck-hands The ignorant char
acter of the Southern negro and the pay
ment of bounty or advance money for the
the trip was an ample inducement, and il
was designed that the vessel should return
to Northern port in the United States
manned by new crew picked up from idle
sailors and landsmen in ports where she dis
charged her living as well as material
freight. 1t is alleged that this is no,
merely newly proposed ed-enterprise, but il
has already been carried on TO some small
extent from Southern ports.

AN AMERICAN VICTORY.

The London Times asserts that American
potatoes threaten to drive out the home
bred article. 1t is not so many years ago
when the proposition that an American po-
tato was equal to an English one would
have been ridiculed. Our seed-growers
Introduced the choicer American varieties
to public notice, and they soon won their
way to popular favor. The Times now
notes that American potatoes no longer
come into their markets as "seed," but
have, during the last year, taken the higher
ground Of "wares," being imported in large
quantities for direct consumption, and it
then pays us the following compliment
'This fact illustrates in the most striking
manner the productive power Of American
farming, which is not only aided by fav-
orable climate, but by the application to it
of the results of human Ingenuity and in.
vention. On its own ground the potato
bug appears to be we'll matched by good
cultivation"
