that the Legislature thereof should reds,rict the

carry the next House.

The old Continental currency issued by
the authority of the United States under
the same flag with the greenbacks. and by
a government whose power was continu-
Gus over the same territory and same race
of people, able TO subdue the Indians. and
drive out the British century ago, fell
from par value to utter worthlessness. 1t
was propped up by the penalty OF death
for counterfeiting, by legal-lender laws,
and by laws forbidding parties to raise the
price of merchandise in exchange for con-
tinental currency. But no power on earth
could make something out of nothing, or
keep value in paper promise without
some kind of iulfillment. When men ask
for bread, as the Lowell Journal wittily
remarks. you cannot satisfy their appetites

Statements of General Butler Cor
rected by Secretary Sherman.

Secretary Sherman, upon being asked about
the statement made by General Butler at he din
ner in Boston on Saturday, said that Gen Butler
must have been misrep orted or had fallen into
several grave mistakes IN regard 10 the loans.
The Secretal also said it was not true that the
people were buying per cent boo DIS at par at the
rate of five millions a month, for the amount of
the sales OF such bonds from the first Of Decem
Der to the llth of April, the date Of the contract,
was So 69S 900, a little over a million q month
and il is not true that he sold II per cent bonds
for 80 years. No such bonds are authorized The
bonds sold were IL per cent bonds for ID years,
and they not sold at par, but at | IL per
cent, and the accrulng interest at the premium
in gold coin, or the equivalent If lO2 currency
winch WAS the market rate that day. and about
the equivalent at par for the per cent bonds.
The truth Is, that since the contra was made we
are selling 4 per cent bonds very rapidly, having
sold 81 100 IN ten days, at the rate of over
5000 900 a month, and tins is one of the benef-
cial effects of the contract and the result of tue
confidence inspired by IT.
As to the stories that Mr.. Sherman was sum
moned before the House Committee on Banking
and Currency, or withheld or concea led the recent
contractwiih the syndicate for tho sale OF II per
cent. bonds or its terms, sherman said he had not
been summoned before the committee. The com
mttee know very well that he is at their service,
and will readily respond to their request without
formalty, and that no summons has either been
issued or Is necessary. lie received letter from
Gen. Ewing, acting chairman, and promptly an
swered IT, lnclosiug copy OF the contract, aud
previously copy OF the same contract had beeu
gwen Mr. Glover at his request. The contract en-
Drsced the sale OF 800, 900, 900 of bonds OF which
$40 600 600 were subscribed for to be pad for IN
April, and tor the balance the associates had excu
sye option at the rate OF SJ,O0O,OOO, month, but
upon condition that the amount should be sold and
paid Tor each month. In this respect the con
tract in the same words prev lous contracts
of IL pr cents, under which $500 900 900 were
sold, ana similar to all contracts made by the gov
eminent Tor the sale Of bonds. SO far from there
being any concealment, the contract was made
and the whole negotiation was in the presence of
half a dozen Utic al officers of the government
was known and recomme nded by leading bankers,
who were competing tor The loan was read by a
number of others, and has been communicated to
Congress. 1t IS just as certain to result in the
accumulation IN the Treasury by the first of Jan
dary next Of $50, SOC, 900 In coin ne, rs an, con
tract to be fulfilled IN the future can be.

From the Boston Traveller
Another Entering Wedge.

Almost despairing of the success of this
sample grab. the William and Mary Col
lege donation, the exConfederates have
brought another plausible entering wedge
to the front in order TO attract u certain
class of supporters. 1t is bill to allow
the agents of the Methodist Publication
Society South to grab enough from the
United States Treasury to repay them for
the use of their establishment in Nashville
by the Union army. Like William and
Mary College, this establishment had fos-
tered and spread sediton, and up to the
very time of its seizure it was used by the
ex-Confederates as very potent agency
for promoting their war upon the Union
This claim is presented In the Senate,
hopeful that it may make a more favora-
Bile impression there than its companion
made in the House. But it Is not likely
to succeed. Among those calling them
selves republicans, only two Senators, one
from Massachusetts, and one from Ohio,
are suspected of favoring it, and it is pos
sible that some Northern democrats will
not see their way clear for surrendering
the rights of their constituents to the de-
mands of the impecunious ex Conieder.
ates.
Let US see what would follow from the
passage of those two sample entering
grabs. II is widely and loudly adver-
tised that these are not presidents for
future action. As well might the
Snowman try to allay the fears OF
old women and children by labelling his
boa-constrictor, This is not a snake"
They are presidents, and they will be
used to break the jam and let in the flood
of rebel grabs amounting in the aggre-
gate 10 upwards of two hundred million
dollars. The item of "pnblc improve
men.s," amounting to nearly half that
sum. is as plausible as the initial grabs,
and any member who votes for William
or Mary, or for the Nashville society.
may more reasonably be expected to give
the rebels more money for "public i'm
provements," which are simply expedients
TO repay them for property which was des-
troyed in their own efforts to destroy the
Union. Private claims having the same
object amount to ten million dollars at the
very lowest estimate. Many claims are
presented to the departments, and do not
appear iu Congress, so that the total
amount of money wanted to soothe the
lacerated feelings of the Southern rebels is
much greater than we have stated.
Altogether, 1t il not an encouraging
spectacle. except as a sign that the repub-
lcan party is wanted now more seriously
than at any time since the war. 1t Ger
tainly is not picture that should attract
New England Congressman who call
themselves republicans. for we believe
when the time comes for voting, the ini-
tial grabs. the entering wedges of the Sc
ries, will be stamped out very effectually,
