himself from the habit, and only succeeded
after fifteen years. struggle. That is very

THE Philadelphia North American sug-

when it says: "If the Democrats of the
House want to deepen the impression that
the South Carolina investigation is likely to
pan out badly for their party, they have only
to place obstacles in the way Of the Teller
committee. The effect of verbal omission
in the appropriation bill is to leave the COM
mittee without funds to 60 on. And, if the
investigation is suffered to fail because of an
error easily corrected, the effect of that will
be to convince the public that the Democrats
fear investigation"

RICHMOND, VA, October Is, 1878.
Editors Dispatch: That W. W. Newman,
or any sane man in the last quarter OF the
nineteenth century should raise his voice
for irredeemable fiat money is mystery
nv shallow intellect cannot solve. 1t is
fact, believe apparent to all, that our people
everywhere have suffered infinite loss from
the contraction OF the currency for the past
few years, and it is but natural that every
one should seek relief from our present
financial distress; but it is worse than folly
TO seek it in flood Of irredecmable paper
money that would soon, in spite OF all the
powers OF our Government, be worthless.
We of the South have had enough OF
- hat /" money, and of irredeemable bonds
as well. owned the first bond (No. Deyer
issued by the Confederate Government, and
l can never forget with what emotions
witnessed the decline in purchasing power
of both. Down, down they went, until at
last they became only silent reminders OF
the unfortunate past. Suppose the Con-
federate Government had issued con-gold
and silver-who doubts that to-day 1t
would be worth one hundred cents in the
dollar? ...
Would it not be infinitely better for the
decentralization party, instead OF calling
presses, to call upon ito hire the thousands
OF our people who have no employment and
whose families are suffering for bread, and
develop our mines to their utmost capacity
to search for new ones, and thereby flood
the country with money. Erect minis with
sufficient capacity to coin every ounce OF
gold and silver as it is dug from the mines,
and then, for the convenience OF trade, let
all the green backs be issued that the Gov
erpment can redeem in coin and maintain
at coin value, and we will soon have money
enough, and to spare. Let Congress reas-
sure the country and the world that all
our national pledges shall be redeemed,
and that no one who now holds
or shall hereafter hold our bonds
shall ever lose one single dollar thereby,
and prosperity will surely and speedily
come, and not only come, but make her
dwelling among us. No "fiat" paper for
mel Give me Joe Johnston and money
that will jingle forever; a dollar that will be
worth one hundred cents every time look at
it; money that will live when the Govern
ment is dead; money that will glitter in
the fires Of the last day and jingle upon the
tombstone o. time; money that will re-
turn it's full purchasing power everywhere,
for everything, except life and health and
an inheritance in the world to come!

The Public Debt.

In answer to correspondent, the Lynch
burg Virginian says:
cit is now in round numbers about
S2,O00,0 100000, though some statements put
it as low as 81, 800, 0OG, 000." F..
The smaller amount is the bonded debt.
The larger includes hsgreeAbacks as part
OF the debt OF the country. The interest
on the public debt has been reduced by
about cne-third from what it was twelve
years ago. The annual interest is now
about 800, 100000. From May l, 1869, to
December /, 1877, the public debt was re-
duced by the sum OF $40, 437, 19l.07-eyi-
dence enough that paying of the public
debt is not going TO bring relief to
the country by setting loose money
to be invested in lands, factories, &c.
CAMM PATTEsoN announces his belief that
no country can be prosperous which owes
S2,O0O,0Oo,000, but no doubt argues with
the rest OF the Greenbackers that this coun-
try was extremely prosperous when it owed,
as it did from 1865 to 1869, five hundred
millions of dollars more than it now owes.
The interest on the public debt has been
reduced much more rapidly than the prin-
clpal, owing to the fact that one fourth to
one third OF the interest has been taken Off
a large amount OF bonds which were not
Maid of.
