AONEh OhoNE, XMAS,
March 1, 1878. (
Editors Democratic Statesman -
have been reader of your columns foI
years. and when reading your sdito-
rails haYe often stopped in the middle
OF sentence 10 swear, which could
safely do in the absence of your pnD-
hshers. But that was long time ago.
The dawning of an era of good feeling,
or something else, is causing the old
hatred, which began with our ac-
quaintance, to gradually fade away.
You give your opinion freely about
any and everything without waiting TO
hear what others have to say about it.
And IN some instances, when many
thought you wide CT the mark, the
center was driven.
The stand taken by you in regard to
the present Federal administration,
though at one time severely criticised
and denounced, deserves more credit
than the press of the State seems will
hing to give. And your predictions in
regard TO the course that would be pur.
I-eued by President Hayes, il let alone,
contrary To the wishes of his own party,
have been verified.
Your course on the Mexican war ques-
tion meets with a hearty responce from
this sectiop. We believe that the pres
ent boundary between the two nations
Is IS well defined and more easily
guarded than any other that could be
drawn. Neither do we desire to see
Mexico robbed by freebooters nor any
OF her States pass through the Jaws OF
reconstruction. The liberty of the
press must indeed be great when such
men IS the Sherman Rsgisfer man, W no
never wore clean shirt IN his life, is
allowed TO speak of Ireland airing q
dirty one.
When the masses cease to he driy-

ofthe nngs and cliques, and de-
maud = government whose bur
dens shall fall equally upon all, regard

ings. then Iteland viii step to the front.

The IarseIlIaIse.

There has been great excitement in
the French Chamber, caused by the in
PRODUCTION OF a resolution by a member
of the extreme Left to adopt the " Mar
seillaise" as the national song and air
of France. 1t created lively discus
sion, and was strongly opposed by the
government, the Minister of War max
ing his ''maiden speech" against it.
The very plausible ground of objection
is the fact that the infiammatory music
and words of the Marse,llaisen were
originally an outburst of sedition, and
it has always been intended and &C
cepted as declaration of war against
the established government. 1t did
more to fan the flame of the revolution
than all the orators of the First Repub-
lie. Roger de Lisle's GALLONS enfants
de Ia Patrie," first'sung at Strasbourg,
brought all France to Its feet; and
from that day to this it has made ty-
rants tremble on their thrones and pa
triots rejoice IN their prisons. AS the
French have no other national hymn,
why not consecrate thisl When Napo-
leon HI. started on his ill-starrej
expedition to Berlin, forced to
take this mad step by the pres
sure ct the Radicals, to whom
he had been little too indulgent, he
ordered the blood-thrilling song of
''La Marseillaise" to be sung In the
theaters and in the camp. If the music
is good in war, why not IN peace9 1t
is true it was the battle cry of the Com
mune. But shall we discard the use
of weapon for the reason only that it
has been used in bad cause2 When
the ambassador OF France arrived in
Rome lately to attend the funeral of
the King, the royal band greeted him
with the music of the Marseillaise. y
When the Conservatives see and fear
Tyranny" only in the despotism of
Radical majority, they may we'll adopt
and turn against it the fiery anathemas
of Rodger de Lisle. OF course the
Chamber will pass the resolution, but
it is said the Senate will reject it. The
Legitimists regard both the words and
the music OF the.song with the utmost
horror.

The till will also doubtless provide for the
funding Of the whole debt at its present lace
value, and the gradual payment OF arrears OF
interest at six per cent. 90 the "peeler' debt,
out of the surplus that will come into the
Treasury under the several specific taxes. 1t is
estimated by the readju,ters that the iu1d de-
rived from the liceuse tax will be sufficient to
meet the payment of interest on the amount OF
the debt that will be funded within the year,
and will only fall short 100000 of paying the
interest on the whole debt, should it be fund

The Washington Post of this morning says {:
Secretary Schulz recently rendered to the
President his resignation of the Department OF
the Iote,ior, and was only persuaded to with
draw it temporarily at the urgent request OF
Mr.. Hayes. The story is that MIR. Schulz de.
sired that Mr.. Filey, the postmaster at st.
Louis, should not be re appointed when his
term bad expired, but that the place should be
given to Mr. Samuel Hays, personal friend OF
bis owo. Mr. Filley had been bitterly opposed
to Mr.. Schulz 10 republican poll icsin Missouri,
and The latter had made personal matter OF
bis being succeeded By bis (Schurz's) nominee.
The matter went along for some time. but at
last the President did re-appoiut Filley, where.
upon Mr.. Schurz took umbrage and handed in
bis resignation. which he will insist shall be
accepted" The Post is a well.informed jouroal,
and generally knows pretty we'll about what it
is talking, but MIR. Scburz's antecedents afford
stroog grounds for believing that it will require
q more pronounced snub than that be received
in the Filley case to induce him to relirquisb
the position he now holds.

Che,apeake and Ohio Canal.

Az Annapolis dispatch to the Baltimore Am.
crican dated yesterday, says 1.-THE directors
Of the Chesapcak and Ohio Canal Company
held an important meeting this afternoon, at
which 1T was decided 10 issue bonds to the
amount of half ilIion dollars in order to re
pair the damage to the canal from the food.
The losses arc greater than any estimates that
have yet appeared. and, although the reports
of the engineers have not yet tcen received, it
has been thought necessary to issue that
amount of bonds. ln order to make clear the
status Of these bonds short account of pre-
vious issues is necessary. 10 1914 the Legsla.
ture, 10 order to complete the canal to Cum
berlaud, authorized the issue of preferred con.
struction bonds, the lien Of the State being
waived in favor of that issue. When the canal
was completed to Cumberland the portion pre-
Vlously built was 80 greatly 10 need OF repairs
that In l848 another issue of bonds was autho.
rized, kuowu as repair bonds. The precise
status of this issue was not defined until the
decision of the Court Of Appeals in 1870 in the
case of the Commonwealth of Virginia against
the Canal Company, when it was decided that
as the issue of the repair bonds was necessary
to the very preservation of the canal and TO the
security of all the other liens, that they consti.
tuted a first lien, having priority over even the
preferred construction bonds. These repair
bonds and accrued interest have since been
paid off IN full, and all the coupons upon the
preferred construction bonds up to 1865 have
been taken up. 1t is now determined that
since necessity similar to that of lS49 has be-
fallen the canal, another issue of repair bonds
will be made to the amount Of half million
dollars. 1t is proposed to have introduced TO-.
day bill giving the Company power to issue
lien upon the property and revenue of the can.
al, it is believed that they will at least stand at
par.
