One principal feature Of the work is
the organization OF Band Of Hope,

At this season Of the year we re-
ceive many inquiries in regard to the
cost of foreign travel: and We are Of.
ten requested by those going abroad
TO mark out for them a route. by
which they may see the most, at the
least expense Of money and time. We
may answer the wishes OF many be-
sides those who have written to US.
to give the results OF our own obser-
walton within the past year. At an
other time we may furnish, as We
have often done to friends, an outline
Of foreign tour.
One man will spend ten dollars
when and where another gets as
much for five. It Is quite impossible
to measure. for every one. the ex-
penses OF travel at home CT abroad.
II We weIe asked, What does II
cost to live In New York;" tho an
swer Of course would be, @It depends
altogether on the style In which you
live." House rent, provisions, wages,
clothing, and all other things, may be
more or less, as your tastes or means
require. To lay down a tariff OF prices
Is out Of the question.
So 1t Is In foreign travel. You may
cross the ocean for thirty dollars or
one hundred and fifty as you prefer.

ment and healthful pleasure. wishing
to be treated as Renteel, respectable
people, without fuss or pretence. II
may be safely said that there Is no
great difference between the cost ol
travelling In Europe and In the United
States.
Railroad trains are not run so rap
idly In Germany, for example, as they
are In the Eastern and Northern
States at home. And the fare is at
the rate OF dollar an hour. Thus,
for $50 miles. the fare would be six
dollars, and 1t would take six hours.
We 60 from New York to Albany
$50 miles, for three dollars; and to
Boston for five. On the continent oil
Europe, baggage is paid for by the
pound. What we carry on the rail
without charge In the United States
or Great Britain, costs enormously
on the Continent. From Frankfort
to Berlin the time is twelve hours
the fare Is $1I, and the baggage was
- for each person, making $40 for a
days travel, that In the United States
would cost, at the outside. not more
than eight.
From Berlin to Dresden the time Il
less than four hours; the fare Is four
dollars and a half. besides the lug.

paid in Switzerland and Italy. These
fares are In the first-class carriages

LOOKING TOWARD RESUMPTION.
Conference OF Sherman and the Bankers,

Conference OF Sherman and the Bankers.
Secretary Sherman had another in
terview with the New York bankers
Wednesday. He stated to officers Of
national banks that he required
$4,000, 900 in gold to resume specie
payments on January 1st; that he
had on hand about $9O,OOO.OOO, and
desired the banks, IL they were will
ling to assist him, to subscribe for
$50,000,O0O In bonds, which would
make up the full amount. He also
expressed willingness to dispose Of
800, 900. 900 per cent. bonds at par
with commission Of per cent. After
q general discussion, which was met
favorable to the proposition in re-
gard to the 4 per cent. bonds, the
secretary made an offer to dispose Of
$50 1000, 900 Al per cents. and reques-
ted the banks and bankers to SUBJ
NIT proposition to him for the full
amount, or for any fractional part
therefore. They did so expressing a
willingness to subscribe for $50,0OO,-
600 Al or per cent. OF 1881 and sell
them at the price paid, charging no
commission. A meeting was held Of
members OF the late 3 per cent. syn
dicate, at which 1t was decided to
make bid for the entire amount Of
$50,OO0,000. Mr. Sherman said that
he felt confident of the ability OF the
treasury department to resume by
January l, II not before. II he could
secure the sale OF Sc, ,00O, 600 OF bonds.
and he claimed that with the gold
now in the treasury, the amountyet to
come, and $50,OOO.OO0 realized from
the sale Of bonds as proposed, he
would have nearly 100000. 900 in the
treasury by January l, which would
render resumption entirely practica-

These Union @Scoundrels" will be
very likely to keep the record made
yesterday by the rebel Democracy
before the country. Why should
such record be made? Why should
General Shields, to whom the Dem
ocracy were under such obligations,
be cast aside for General Field? Why
is it that services in the rebsl army
will weigh more with the ID emocracy
than all other qualifications COM
bined? These are the questions
which the people have right to ask.
and to which they begin to want an
answer. When we say the men who
inaugurated and maintained the re.
bellion are gradually but surely OBJ
tanning the control Of the govern
ment through the aid Of their allies
OF the North, we are told that it is
false, and slander upon the Demo
cratic party; but day by day it be-
comes more evident that there is a
systematic scheme being executed,
and that unless it is checked the day
Is not far distrnt when the men who
rebelled against the government will
have as complete control OF the same
as il they had won in the rebellion.
When protest is made against it the
cry OF bloody shirt" is raised by the
Democratic and about one fourth OF
the Republican press.
We are told that the place Of door
keeper Is an inferior Office, with a
small salary. This fact cuts no figure
In the case. It Is an Office OF suffi-
cient Importance to show the disposi-
ton OF the party In the giving Of it.
A few OF the Democratic papers Of
the North may raise feeble protest,
but they have not influence enough
to control one single solitary vote.
The Democracy OF the Northwest
are responsible for the election Of
Field, and the only way to check this
tidal wave and teach these Demo
cratic politicians some sense and COM
mon decency Is to repudiate them at
the polls.-Indianapolis Journal

The Delinquent Subscriber.

As we wended, weak, and weary,
Across the unswept floor;

Then it became an earnest rapping,

And in silence we still wondered

The Washington correspondent OF
the Louisville Courier Journal says:
Republicans, for special opposition
to General Field, say that he served
In the Confederate army, SO that the
old issue of the Acknowledgement Of
rebels Is once more made by these
scoundrels, fourteen years after the
war was over aud the last gun fired.
There are few people here foolish
enough to believe that a majority at
the North would respond favorably to
such a cry OF malice and proscrip-
tion."
Few men can point TO a more var
led or brilliant record than General
Shields. He Is q man OF decided
ability. lifelong Democrat, and he
needed the place which hs sought at
the hands OF the Democracy. They
rejected him and elected instead Gen.
eral G. w. Field. graduate Of West
Point, who deserted the flag to which
he owed allegiance and took up arms
against the government which had
educated him, who fought his gov
ernment as long as the rebellion las
ted, and then fed to Egypt and re-
nounced his citizenship. They were
both Democrats. General Shields
took an active part In the last pres
idential canvass, and made speeches
through this State for Tilden and
Hendricks. He probably did more to
make Democratic votes than any
man who canvassed in the Western
States. II there Is any one man the
