3. They were worth in the market five DER

4. They were printed in the form OF bonds,
with tive coupons attached and were nearly
double the size Of greenbscks.
8. They were sold in the market as bonds and
not paid out as currency.

was printed on each note.
8. They were fundable into six per cent
bonds, and this obligation was also printed on
them.
10. They were never passed from hand 10
hand in ordinary business, although some OF
the creditors OF the government, like soldiers,
were offered these notes IL they would take
them rather than wait for greenbacks, and they
did SO.
IL. They were not payable or redeemable uu-

THE argus seeks to draw comfort from the
report of an interview with the Hon. Lev
erett Saltonstall, in which that gentleman
expresses his belief that kilograms were ex-
changed daily between Senator Sherman and
Gov. Noyes during the Florida count. That
is only matter of belief That dispatches
passed between Gramercy Park and Florida
is matter Of knowledge. There is not the
slightest evidence that any dispatches which
Sherman sent or Noyes received contained
anything wrong or offensive. There is the
fullest evidence that the Democratic des-
patches proposed bribery. No one can read
the Tribune translations without becoming
convinced of their correctness. Mr. Salton-
stalls copjectures will not save Mr.. Tlden.
SOME of the Democrats are whistIng Wig
orously to keep their courage up, but cannot
conceal their belief that the result of the
October elections is Republican triumph.
The New York Sun speaks right out in meet
ing and says: eft is not beaten, alone, that
the Democrats are, on the whole, in the re-
cent elections. They are disgraced also.
They had two positions natural for them to
take, which were impregnable. One was the
observance Of the constitutional provisions
for the election of President and Vice Presi-
dent. The other was the sound doctrine of
gold basis for the currency. They abandoned
both. They surrendered principle, and
withal were ignominiously beaten, as they
ought to have been. We do not say the Re-

The Whitehall Times didn't half fiosh tba.

The Whitehall Times didn't half faish that
story about the trout in a gentleman's trout
pond saving the life of little girl who was ac-
customed to feed them, and who had accident
ally fallen into pond, by forming themselves
into solid body and supporting her in the wa
ter. We'have the later advice about it, The
trout not only raised her to the surface, but
they foated her ashore, after which they took
her upon their shoulders and carried her up to
the house, over half a mile, across lots, being
compelled to take down several fences in order
to do it. When the father of the little girl
came to the door 10 answer to the bell (rung by
one of the trout, he discovered a lot of them
rolling the child on an old salt barrel to get the
water out of her. When she was. finally resus-
citated the trout united in giving three cheers,
aud declining to step into the house and take
suthin', they trotted back to the pond. Why
don't you finish story when you begin i.?-
