The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1878-10-24

The New York Tribune's response to Mr..
Tiden's card, denying all knowledge of the
the cipher dispatches, closes with these per
tinent reflections
''He takes pains to criticise Congress and
the Administration and the Returning
Boards and the Electoral Commission, but
he has 20 word of eeEsure for men who
were telegraphing Northward and South
word about Fifty of The best United States
documents, and $50, 900 in three packages. ;"
He finds room to denounce McLiu by name
but against the cipherers along the wire
which ran into his bed-chamber; against
Mai BILE and Coyle and Wooley and W eed,
he breathes not word Of dispeasure. Til
den must write one more letter and say ex-
plcitly whether he disapproves of the works
of his recognized and authorized agents.
The country waits for his opinion of the
frauds attempted in his favor. There are
hot blooded gentlemen whose indignation
could not be constrained from breaking out
against any superserviceable friend, who,
through excess of zeal and absence Of moral
principle, has compromised their good name.
Mr.. Tilden is not hot-blooded, and he will
not be expected to act or talk with undue
precipitation. But il he continues to keep
silence, there are malicious people who will
say that he doesn't dare to denounce these
corruptionsts, for fear they may turn upon
him and exhibit their credentials.''
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1878-10-24

General Sherman, who is now in Washing
ton. speaking of the army, said he never
knew of its condition being so satisfactory
as now. All branches are in accord, and
the character CT the men-not more than
one in five presented for enlistment having
beer accepted-all that is desired. In his
trip to the West he was delighted with the
good sanitary condition of the various posts.
He was astonished also at the educational
condition of the privates generally, some of
them showing high state Of culture.

Now and Then.

Let those who desire to fairly judge the
present financial policy of the country, take
the following statement of facts into con-
sideration with the other fact that we are
now funding over six and seven per cent
bonds into four per cent. bonds, and that
the credit of the nation is better than that
of any other government on the globe.
In speech in Logan, Ohio, on the 30th
ult., General Grosvenor read the following
letter from Secretary Sherman:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. %, 1878.
Hon. G. Fl. Grospenor, Washington, d. c.:
SIR am in receipt of your letter of this
date, asking for statement of the loans
made BY the United States in the fail of
1860 or the winter of 1861, describing the
bond, the amount sold, and the SUN per
cent. the Government realzed.'
In reply thereto. have toinform you that
under the act of December II, 1860 ~
Stats. 12l), Treasury notes were issued re
deemable at the expiration of one year from
date, bearing interest as follows $4,000 at
6 per cent, &c., 900 AZ 8 per cent, 100000
at 104 per cent, $4,000 at per cent, $40.
900 at 81 per cent. 1923, 900 at l04 per cent,
500 at s per cent; 100000 at 81 per
cent, 1867, 900 at 10a per cent, $4,000 at
s. per cent, 81, 900 at 81 per cent, 81 ,432,
700 at l per cent, $4,000 at s. per cent,
s1,027, 800 at 10 per cent, $4,S40,0 900 at u
per cent, making total OF $1,000, 900.
Additional offers were received, ranging
from Is to 36 per cent, which were refused.
Under the act of February s. 1851 ~ Stats,
129), authorizing loan of $4,000, 900, bonds
of the United States, bearing per cent. in
terest, having twenty years to run. were
disposed of to the amount of $lS.4l5, 600, at
an aggregate discount of $92. 0l9,776.1O. or
an average rate OF 1910 per 500. So low
had the credit OF the Government fallen that
the Secretary of the treasury, in January,
1861, suggested to Congrt SIS as financial
resource that the several States be asked as
security for the repayment for any money
the Government might find it necessary |"
borrow, to pledge the deposits received by
them from the Government under the act
for the distribution OF The surplus revenues
in 1886, the Secretary believing that loan
contracted on such basis of security super
added to the plighted faith of the United
States that OF the individual States, could
hardly fail to be acceptable to capitalists.
Very respectfully,
JOHN SHERMAN, Secretary.
