II the poor people Of this country had any
assurance that the United States Congress- would
not, next year, or probably earlier, pass law
declaring the debts Of tho government payable
10 copper or iron. or some other cheap material,
they might be induced to deposit their earnings
10 the proposed postal savings banks. but they
have no such assurance, and the passage Of the
silver bilprevcns the possibility ofapy such in
future. Most of the savings banks of the
country have already lailed.and thereby robbed
their depositors of the savings Of long years
OF hard work and ftugality. and now those
that remain solvent have had their assets de-
preoiated ten per cent by the silver bill. Re-
pudiation has become so prevalent, and is so
stimulated by both state and national legsla-
ton, that instead of depositing their money
10 postal savings banks, or 10 any other insti.
tutions. or business enterprise, people will be
induced to revert to tho olden time way of
keeping l-hiding it 10 the ground; and when
that mode shall be generally adopted the silver
bill will have reached it's legitimate conclusion,
and the effect of Congressional wisdom be cor.
rectly appreciated by starving country.

of the bill recently passed by the Ganeral As.
sembly, authorizing compromise Of the city i
debt, the committee, as we'll as others, may
like to know that recently the Journal Of Com
merce received the following note:
Can you inform mo what is the nature and

Issued and signed by city authority? l contend
that they are lien not only upon the corporate
property, such as public buildings. parks, docks,
franchises, &c., but also upon the real estate

Of interest the bondholdcrs can, il necessary,
levy upon this private property through legal
measures, by tax or otherwise, to au AN ouut
sufficient 10 repay them. This view Is contra
dictcd, and it is asserted b. friend of niue,
equally well lnforturi perhaps. that municipal
bonds are simply lien upon the city property
owned by the city, and 10 90 way can private
property Of the citizens b. made TO pay public
debts. Win you decide which view Is correct :"
TO which that paper replied as follows -
ut is the theory Of responsibility that all The

tribute to inc liability OF the corporation. When
judgment Is entered and execution is issued
tho first process is to levy on the available nov
abIes belonging to the municipality. After
that the proper authorities are subject to tho
order Of tho court, which may require them to
l:vya tag to satisfy judgment. THIS remedy has
DOT, thus far, been found as perfect 10 practice

contumacous, or have fed, and have tried all
sorts Of lodges and subtcrfuges to evade the re.

1t is understood that tie committee appoint
ed BIZ the Fair Association to select The grounds
upon which the exhibitions arc to be held
will deternise to lease lot on the extreme
northwestern boundary of the city, tor the
ayowel reason that such location will be con.
veuient to visitors who may come by the Alex
andris and Washington Railroad. We and
large majority Of the people Of the city suppos.
ed that one Of the main objects cf the proposed
fairs was to attract people TO Alexandra, but
that object will not be attained by holding the
fairs on the grounds alluded to. Washington
being populous, large number OF the Visitors
to the fairs will he urquestioDably attracted
from that city, both by the cars and by private
conveyances over the turnpike, but, if the fair
grounds be located as proposed, these visitors
while beneGttog the fair will benefit the city
hardly any more than if the fairs were held at
Four Mile Run. Those who came by the cars
would step across to the fair grounds, and after
looking at the exhibits STEP back again to the
depot, and those who came in carriages and
buggies would drive to the gates, but neither
class of visitors would sec anything OF Alcxan'
