It's not strange that this current OF surplus
capital carefully avoids Southern securities.
During the past three days only $4,000 has
been the par value Of all southern bonds sold
on Exchange. Sale was found for S5I,5OO
Louisiana and S12, 900 Missouri bonds, and
for one solitary bond of Tennessee. The COM
mittcc from Nashville, who have come to tins
city to urge holders of Tennessee bonds to
take 80 per cent and per cent interest, met
with the treatment which they deserved the
bondholders refusing to attend an interview

to Join in the suits against Tennessee rail

RESULTS or REFUNDING.

All uncertainty as to the funding of the
ten-forty bonds is removed. There Is some
dissatisfaction among those who subscribed
to the four per cent loan, but only be-
cause they could not get as many
bonds as they desired. Those who take
the so certificates during the next
sixty days, in sums not exceeding SlOO
each, will have opportunity to obtain
four per cent bonds in exchange for
them all other fogr per cent bonds needed
for the redemption Of ten-iorties Will go 20
the First National Bank Messrs. FISK q
Hatch, and their associates. No other bonds
will be offered for sale by the United States
for more than two years, unless the misdeeds
of a Democratic Congress should render
necessary some increase Of the public debt.
The small amount Of bonds - less than
$2O,0O0,O00 - which become redeemabie
in January, 1881. will doubtless be
taken up by surplus funds in the
Treasury. For there is nor no rGy in rhich the
public debt can be reduced, or the surplus rercHae
applied for that purpose, until after Jdhaa'y J.
1881, unless by purchases of bonds in open
market. This very important fact seems to
have been entirely overlooked. The legal
tenders cannot be retired, though they may
accumulate in the Treasury. After the ten
forties have been redeemed, no other part OF
the debt can be paid until 1881.
Secretary sherman has succeeded in retir-
ing Sl45, 900 600 Of six per cent bonds in
1877, and $1O3, $50, $50 in 1878, and $685.
O703OO in the first quarter Of 1879, and now
has also provided for the retirement Of $l94,-
5GG3OO of five per cents-making IN all
$791, ,2O2. .4jO in SKIES and iiyes that have
been put out of the way within less than
twenty-five months and n half There will
remain only $2s3,GS1.3JO six per cent and
$5OS, ,4IO,35 five per cent bonds TO be re-
funded in 1sS1, and after that time 40 fur
ther reduction can be made for ten years,
until the four and half per cent bonds be-
come redocmable.
Already $9OOOO,C00 Of six per cent bonds
have been redeemed since the month began,
and yet the banks have gained greatly IN
strength, and the money market has become
quite easy. The bank statement Of Saturday
was decisive blow to the cToakers, for it
showed an increase OF S1.5G2, 700 in the legal
tender reserve and $3,2GO,575 in the surplus
reserve. The following shows the amount of
surplus reserve of lesal-tcndcrs and OF specie
held by the New-YOrk banks on Saturday and

THE REAL SESnuENT or TIE SOUTH

Gentlemen of intensely judicial tempera-
ment who object to the quotation OF sui
phurOus Confederate utterances in Congress
or in newspapers which flourish in the
warmer latitules of the country as rep
rescntatiye Southern sentiment, would do
well 10 remind themselves that this
is the sort Of Talk which never hears
any rebuke from Southern constituencies. On
the contrary. it is just this sort of talk which
is greeted with the widest ENCOURAGEMENT.
II is the man who boasts how far Lee marched
into Pennsylvania who is cheered by the Demo-
crat5 in the House. No one ever hears a
syllable of Democratic dislyowal or roproof
when The cause and course of Secessionists in
the days Of the war and rcconstructIOn are
gloriiied, or when all the motives and meth
ods Of opposing UniJnist5 are yiliGed "a they
have been on the floors OF the National Con-
grcsS.

extreme sentiments of its eKtrems men, liIo

adhesion to the same constitutional theorie,
aud political practices whose final and neces-
sary fruItage has been proved to be rebellion.
Indeed this is the only sense in which the
South Is solid. On every question Of general
public policy division and controversy arc the
rule there a5 elsewhere, and the South is oulv
fused into complete unity by the hot sectional
ism which peryades it, and which
is its controlling political idea. From the
very nature of the case, the most vehement
and passionate expression of this idea is the
most characteristic. the most thoroughly rep
resentative. In It's very essence it il violent,

NIhilism is to DO stamped out like the
plague in the lower Nolga. The Russian
Government falls back upon the army, and
proclaims martial law in six great centres Of
population where the secret police and the
gcndalmcre have been unable to prevent
revolutionary cxccsses. The military gov
errors are invested with absolute powers.
They can arrest, condemn, impTison or bury
in the mines any man or woman who may be
tainted with Socialism. They have supreme
control over university and school, the press
and the civil administration, and can
set i'm motion tho machinery of mill
tary tribunals Woe unto him who may
be suspected of anything that the Governor
General considers dangerous He will be
dragged before a military court and doomed
to exile at the tap Of the drum. Repression
can go no further. Last Fall the right of
trial by jury, one of the great reforms of the
present reign, was abrogated in political and
criminal cases. and now the functions Of civil
government are suspended in the most popu-
lous districts. There is to be no more pistol
practice or firing at random, as at Odessa
Kief and Rostof, but the artillery will be
brought to bear upon street mobs. Wherever

beat it down. Nihilism is to be crushed by
sheer weight of the military system.
The Cars advisers seem to stand in dread
of street barricades. Yet the area Of dis
affection is comparatively narrow. The
population Of the six cities where martial
law has been declared is not greater than
that Of New-York, Brooklyn and jersey City
If all the Russian towns having over 10000
inhabitants are Classed together, the total
viii not exceed one-tenth OF the whole pOpu-
lation Of the European Empire The remain
ing ninc-tenths are agricultural classes,
scattered over broad tracts of territory,
who cannot be dangerous There arc
scarcely more than twenty souls to the square
mile and new ideas cannot move fast Bari
cAdcs may be built and defended in the
largest cities. but q revolutionary craze in the
agricultural belts Is impossible.
But while the Government has giyon way
10 panic terror and lost its sclf-pOsscssi0n, it.
is not acting wholly without reason in en-
forcing thi, reactionary policy. Two years
ago the United States Government was
powerles8 to prevent riot and anarchy in tho
Northern States, yet the people did not lose
their .elf-cOmmand. Even when the danger
was greatest, the disa1ected classes of
tho metropolis were allowed TO hold a
niass-rneeting and to give full expression
to their restlessness. The American theory
is that the elements of discomfort and
insuboIdinatIon are only dangerous when im-
prisoued, and that so long a. public opinion has
free vent these gases will not accumulate in
the lower strata OF society and explode at the
surface IL does not follow, however, that
what is the safest course here is the wisest
evcrywhere-among all sorts and conditions
OF men. 1t was under the pressure OF military
New-York tribune., 1879-04-21

and this makes it worth while 10 note tho
unr,strained ray.ngs Of remote editors, and
the revolutionary threats Of Congcssmen who
in the combatiyc carnestncss of debate forget
TO be polite and give vent to the genuine
sentiments of their hearts. These are not
pleasant facts to STATE. "ut they afe facts
which the country needs 10 realize, and wIich
the country begins to realize. When they are
fully understood and profoundly felt through
out the North, the people can be assured 'hat
the C)nfndemtns are nearer to complete
possession OF the Government than they ever
will be AGAIN until they meet with radical
change of heart and purpose.
New-York tribune., 1879-04-21

The surplus reserve is already as large as it
usually is ut this period, nlthou specie hashi,h-
crto been virtually useless as part OF the reserve,
,hou.h included therein. The lesal-tcnder
reserve is larger than il was at this time last
year, ana the specie reserve much more eff
cient. though smaller 50 that the lower rate
of interest is not unnatural. Less than $4,000
gold, all foreign, was exported last week,
with Sf2I, ,2I5 in silver, and The imports Of gold
continue TO exceed the exports. The exports Of
domestic produce for the year thus far have been
only 81 900, 900 less than the unprecedented
exports of last year, and the imports have
been only $4,7OO,OoO larger, about So, 100000
cr the increase having been in dry goods
But the exports of gold have been smaller by
80. 600 900. Instead Of sending coin abroad,
we are taking back from Europe in large
amounts, railroad and other bonds for which
we pay in the excess of products exported
over goods imported.
This movement has been active for several
weeks, but has greatly increased since the
transaction of Thursday rendered it certain
that no more four per cent bonds would be
offered by the Government. As long "a the
relunding was in progress each holder of old
that he would have ample opportunity to
procure the four per cents whenever
he pleased. Suddenly the opportunity
to get untaxed United States bonds
at par vanishes, and the holders of
funds now unemployed, or presently
to be dislodged by the redemption OF skies or
fives, are looking about with something like
CONSERVATION to find employment for funds
amounting to many millions. The demand
for railroad securities suddenly swelled on
Thursday, Friday aud Saturday beyond all
precedent During these three days the
sales of such bonds on the Exchange
amounted to $j,3l3,O0O, and OF this
amount $2,43S, 800 represented tho sales
on Saturday alone. Prior to Thursday
the sales in April had been only $l4, 600
or about $l,2OO,OOO daily. The demand was
especially great for those railroad bonds
which, being secured 10y mortgages on new
or recently rcorgamlcd roads, are sold at
comparatively low prices. The sales during
three days amounted to $2,1OG,OOO in bonds
Of the Ere. OF winch $1,59i,OOO were now
second consolidated bonds; $397,5OO in
bonds of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas;
$3.50, 900 of the Cleveland, Colum-
bus and Indiana Central; $3i0.5OO of
tho New-Jcrsey Central; $4,000 Of
the Metropolitan Elevated; $297,O 600 of the
Kansas Pacific; Sl93.OOO of the Denver and
Rio Grnnde; %179. 800 Of the Toledo and
Wabash; $4,000 of the Central Pacific;
S1i1.O00 Of the Union Pacific aud $lO9,OO
OF tho Burlington, Cedar Rapids and North
ein and bonds of eight other roads sold in
amounts from $4,000 to 500, 900 each. The
speculation in the Cleveland, Columbus and In
diana Central was stimulated by "a report that
Z decision favorable to the road was about TO

The small African and Asiatic p0tentstes
appear to be measuring the extent OF Eng
lands difficulties with tolorable accuracy. The
King of Burmah, for instance, candidly ad-
Inits that he has remained quiet from fear,
but is determined henceforth to make no
conccssous TO England. If this example is
followed by the native princes throughout
British India, the consequences may be very
grave.
While this country is almost passive in re-
gard TO the Canadian tariff, the British press
and manufacturers continue 20 eylnce the
greatest irritation at the audacitY OF
the colony in attempting 10 impede
trade with the mother country. These
Outcrics VIII probably 90 far TO con
vince the Canadian Finance Minister that
he has gained nothing by his ayowal that he
intended to discriminate only against Ameri-
can products.
Governor Robinson is evidently anxious to
have 1t understood that his interviews with
Mr.. Smith VI. Weed are not so frequent as
they have been supposed to be. This can hardly
be because of the ciphers. for the Governor
admits an interview with Mr.. Weed some
weeks ago 1t must be that Governor Robin
son is a li.le sensitive upon the subject of
Mr.. Tildcu's influence in The Executive Cham
Der: and, under the circumstances, nobody
will wonder at that.
Thus far the Democratic party has been
able 10 produce but two instances of the sort
of intimidation which the new election
law is TO check. Senator Williams wtnessed
one, and senator Hereford the other. As our
Washington dispatches show. the outrage
upon the ballot-box which General Williams
saw was committed while the war was still III
progress, aud consisted III soldiers stacking
their arms in the open square OF a Kentucky
TOWN: and Mr. HerefOrd's instance was not an
instance at all, but apparently mere blundcr
