1860. Should General GRANT be called to
head the Republican column in the coming
contest he will not find the conquered rebels
where he left them, seeking their homes in
peace and safety under an immunity that
has no parallel in history but he will find
them stceled with hate for the Govern
ment and the laws which has been carefully
nurscd for thirteen years, and which over
tops any feeling of loyalty to the laws and
the Government now extant with them. II
would be retributiyc and even poetic justice
for General GRANT to he called TO the head
of the Government that he may finish the
workthat he left incomplete when the sword
of rebellion was ostensibly surrendered into
his hands. 1t now looks rs if the task was
in store for him. We shall see.

agreement referred to, the necessary loss TO the
Government incident to the refunding Of the
public debt was made tho means Of securing
subscriptions to tho amount of about $780,
100000.
The banks, or those represented by the
banks, derived an advantage In the use OF the
amount OF their subscriptions for three months
hut this without other loss to the Government
than what was incident to the negotiations Of
the loan under the law.
As this process has been going OH for
more than seven years and the banks again
and again invited by public advertisement
to become dcpositaries, there is something
in this sudden find of the Democracy calcu-
lated to make even RIP VAN WISKLE
laugh. Possibly Mr.. HEWITT has grown
jealous of GLOVER, that patient but slow
tleman what a business mau could do in
unearthiug frauds when he had chance
and so he holds up to the country this pro-
cess of redemption publicly instituted seven
years since, and again and agnin advertised
by the Treasury, and with an air of aston
ishment wants to know what it means
Well, Mr.. HEWITT, it means that
while Mr.. GLOVER has been uselessly
searching through the Department, and
while u Democratic House has been
settling great matters Of state, such as elect
ing doorkeepers, the Treasury Department
through the process just discovered by Mr.
HEWITT, has reduced the annual interest on
S0oO, ,Ooo, 900 of the public debt from ono to
two per cent making n saving to date OF
$4,000, 900, and an untold amount for the
hereafter.
There is, however, n pleasure in the
thought that at last the Democracy has
found somcthinS-nothing new, to he sure
but then it is somcthing-and while Mr.
HEWITT and his friends arc looking at 1t in
surprise, the intelligent men Of the country
are holding their sides.

SENATOR JEROME u. CuArFEE.

One week from to.dsy the Legislature Of
Colorado will elect successor to Hon.
JEROME H. CHAFfEE in the Senate OF the
United States, and the present indications
are that he will succeed himself. Since his
entrance into public life we have been close
observers of his course, aud hence feel quail
fed TO pass judgment upon the record he
has made. Ills devotion to his constituents
in all that he deemed for their interests has
been independent and determined, and has
"nevcr crooked the supple hinges Of the
81 knee that thrifl might follow iawning."
As an active, vigilant, and Intelligent
worker in bringing the Territory OF Colorado
to thrifty State he has had no superior.
Whether in office or as n pri-
vate citizen lie has been alike generous
with his purse and efforts in developing the
resources and prosperity OF his young
State.
In Congress senator CHAFFEE has ever
proved himself the faithful servant of his
constituency. True TO his country, his
honest convictions of duty and his political
faith, ns well rs 10 his personal friendships,
he has won golden opinions from all who
have observed his course, and if Colorado
is as true TO her own interests and welfare

EErISpiNG OF THE DEBT.

The process of the Treasury Department.
complained of by NJ. HEWITT, of receiving
coin certificates of deposit of national banks
secured hy bonds, in payment Of subscrip-
tions for 1 per cent. bonds, was fully cX-
planned by Secretary boutwell,. in his an
nual report to Congress for ISL, and has
been continued ever since in all the refund
ing operations oi the Government. Gu
pages IL and 10 of that report Secretary
boutwell, said
II was also agreed that the subscriptions
should all be- made through national hanks,
and certificates of deposit therefor issued by
said banks to tho Secretary Of the Treasury,
bonds to be lodged with the Treasurer Of the
United States for the amount Of the deposit.
Bv q printed circular issued on the 10th day of
August lS1l, IL was announced that national
banks making or obtaining subscriptions, pay
able in coin, would be designated by the Sec
rctary Of the Treasury rs depOsitarics Of pub
lie money, ul the usual condition Of placing
in the hands Of the Treasurer Of the United
States bonds Of the United States for the Sc
curity of such deposits; and that, at the
commencement of each month, notice would
he given of the redemption Of an amount of
bonds edual to tho amount of subscriptions in
coin for the preceding month"; interest to cease
IN ninety days from the date OF shcll notice.
II was also stated IN the circular that, rs the
bonds called should mature, the deposits
would be drawn from the several banks pro
pOrtOnately.
by the act establishing the national banking
system the Secretary of the Treasury was au.
thorizcd to make them depOsitaries Of any
public money, except receipts from customs
and the act authorizing the rofunding Of the
national debt directed the Secretary Of the
Treasury to give three months notice of the
payment of any bonds which, in such notice,
might be specified aud called for payment. In
the same act 1t was provided that the money
received for the new bonds should be used only
Ia payment Of bonds outstanding known a
$50 bonds. The statute proceeded upon tho
idea that the holders Of j-!O bonds should re.
ccivu three months interest upon their bonds
after notice should be given by the Govern
memi.

upon subscriptions already made or secured

THERE are people who are beginning to
think that JOHN SHERMAN is one of the
ablcst 6nanciers the country has ever had
in the Treasury Department. His appa-
rently successful efforts to bring the coun-
try back to the encouraging level of specie
resumption have induced this belief, despite
the ISLANDERS Of his enemies, who have per-
sistently held him responsible for the indi-
vidual misiOrtunes of contraction incident
to our transition from Ruoyamt initiation to
hand pan We have no desire to detract
in any way from the credit that is undoubt-
cdly due to him for his faithful administra-
ton of the laws; but, without the aid and
support of the Republican party and its
successful antagonism TO Democratic finan.
cial fallacies, it will be admitted his efforts
would have failed. 1t is simply as the in
telligent and viCarious minister OF patri-
-otc party organization, one that is devoted
to the integrity of the Governments prom
ises to pay, that he has won enviabIe dis
tinction. But he could not have won il il
he himself had not been inspired with the
same intrepid integrity.

nation Of the fact that the House did very
little mischief before the recess aud great

account for the omission of mischief; but
the public business was attended to simply
because the Democratic majority was afraid
