The Cincinnati Commercial summarizes
the financial situation in the following terse
sentences:
BUSINESS men are beginning to under
stand the situation and to be charmed with
it. They see that not only is resumption
actually achieved, but that Congress is inca
pable Of doing anything to unsettle affairs.
The Presidents common sense put a few
words in the right place in his message. We
do not want any radical financial legislation.
The repeal Of the Resumption Law is impos-
sible. 1t is doubtful at present whether
there can be mustered one third of either
House or Congress for repeal, and it is GER
tain that two-thirds cannot be found. Then
the Silver law cannot be repealed. Silver
has been restored to the coinage and the
standard, and there it will remain. The
probability is there will be no change in the
Silver Law. Even the free coinage feature.
with bullion certificates, will fail. We do
not care to have single standard, either in
gold or silver. There will be no radical fl
nancial legislation this winter. We shall
not only have specie payments and better
currency than we ever had, but non-inter-
ference for more than year by Congress
with business. The present Congress will
be snuffed out on the 4th of March-there
will be no extra session-and the next House
will be so nearly balanced as to put both
parties upon their good behavior, and to Sc
cure the country against radical legislation.
In the New York Stock Market on Satur-
day last, there was marked improvement in
Virginia securities. Virginia Consols sold
at SO cents, a very decided advance. Other
Southern securities, and especially in those
States where the debt question is out OF con-
troversy, the sales were very encouraging
Texas State bonds sold at 113, and strohg
market. Georgia securities were firm. with
sales Of per cent. bonds at Ill, and skies
at 1921. Louisiana sold at II to 72a.
Were the Virginia debt question settled.
her bonds would soon 60 to par, and tho
creditors realize more for 4 per cent
bond than they do now for per cent.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore american says that Mr.. Hewitt
explains to his friends that it is exceeding
embarrassing for the Democrats to initiate
action concerning the cipher Dispatches
The New York members decline to move in
the premises, because of their personal rela-
tions to Mr.. Tilden, and members from 9TH
er States who are asked to take action. de
cline upon the ground that as it concerns
citizens of New York, the task belongs to
members from the latter State. The Repub-
licans are of course perfectly satisfied with
the case the cipher dispatches have made
out against Tilden, and will not relieve the
Democrats from their dilemma by demand
ing an investigation.

Legislative Notes.

The House, on Wednesday last, adopted
resolutions providing for conference of the
creditors Of the State with the finance COM
mittees Of both Houses and declaring basis
on which settlement Of the public debt can
be made, the conference to be held on the
Is Of January next, and the basis to be on
the principles of the bill known as the "Bar-
bour BILL and that the rate OF taxation pre-
sented BY the said bill cannot be exceeded.
The House also passed the Senate bill pro-
viding for the REIMBURSEMENT to the United
States of the title and jurisdiction over lands
in Virginia for life saving stations,
Wednesday night a conference Of readiust-
ers Of the General Assembly was held, at
which resolutions were adopted pledging
themselves to press the re-enactment of the
act of last session, known as the Barbour
Bill, setting forth that under no consideration
will they support any measure for the adjust
ment Of the public debt that will increase
the present rate of taxation, or that may with
draw from the free school system any money
intended by the constitution for its support,
or in any way impair Its efficiency, and ia
voring call at an early day Of a State con-
vention Of readjusters to perfect an organi-
cation for the purpose OF carrying their rin-
ciples into effect.

The coupon interest on the public debt,
due on New Years day, is to be paid with

called in the residue OF the bonds outstand-
ing, issued under the act Or March 3rd, 1865,
amounting to nearly eleven millions.

THE STING OF SIN.

The hornet is as harmless as the fly, when
its sting is gone. Death is harmless without
its sting, and that sting is sin. l often used
to wonder how was going to get rid OF all
my sins; the sins | had done in private and
the sins had done in public, and the sins
had piled up to hide other tsins. l used to
make good resolutions. have made as ma
ny good resolutions as hairs in my head,
and have broken them all. wouldn' give
snap of my finger for all the good resou-
tions in the world. l presume within the
next two weeks enough good resolutions will
be formed in Baltimore to reach ten thous-
and miles high, if they could be piled up,
and don't think any Of them will be kept.
1t is the simplest matter in the world. Eth
er sin is going to conquer you, or else you
are going to conquer sin. This is inevita-
BILE. Now, you can't conquer sin unless
you accept by love and faith, Christ Jesus
as your Saviour. That is absolutely certain.
Are you going to do it; are you going to do
it? II so, all your sins will be put away.
You can have no peace until then. Not un.
til your conscience is void of guilt can you
be happy.
How far is Christ going to separate you
from sin? As far as the east is from the
west. I'd like some Of you to tell me the
distance. He will blot it out as cloud
Many Of you have seen cloud gradually
dissolved and blotted out. Where does it
go? 1t goes from sight in the sunlight, as
your sins disappear in the light of the Son
Of God. They are cast into the depths of
the sea, Who ever fathomed and searched
the depths ? That's pretty safe place to
have our sins, / imagine. If any OF you
want really joyful Christmas, just let me
ask you to put your slns out of the way by
accepting Jesus Christ.

sion at headquarters is not very san
guine as to an early and successful
termination of the war. Military men
familiar with the situation say that the
position taken by the Indians in the
Stein or Jumper mountains is one from
which il will be difficult to dislOdge
and impossible to capture them. The
mountains are bold and PERCEPTIONS,
and full of ravines, easily defended and
communicating in such manner as to
facilitate escape from the mountains.
The Indians can sweep the whole coun-
try below them, and no movement Of
troops can be made except under their
eyes. 1t is considered that If they have

Gen. Howard has under his command,

hardly adequate for making quick
work of the campaign.
Gen. Crook still remains at Fort Hall,
and will not move westward to take an
active part in the hostilities. He has
but 200 men at Fort Hall, all of whom
are required to hold the Indians
on that reservation in check.
