The Refunding Operations.

hC
1t is nine years almost to day since Gen.
Grant, then President of the United States.
approved. July II. 1870, n law providing
tor the issue of bonds for 81 300, 200, 900,
at 5 per cent. at A l-2 per cent, and at 4
per cent, into which the then outstanding
bonds of the United States should be re-
funded. To-day we give in our Washing
ton dispatches a resume of the operations
of the Treasury Department under that
law. 1t is not to be denied that it is very
remarkable record. and that it recounts
achievements of which any country might
be fairly proud. When the law was
passed, the nation was at the very flood
tide Of that fictitions prosperity which had
followed the war and the issue of enor-
nous quantities of irredeemable paper.
Enterprises of every kind were being
pressed with the feverish energy of spec
ulation. money commanded high rates of
interest, our currency was dsordercd, and
the disorder was taken advantage of by
all the brood of eager and venturesome
operators TO whom frequent and violent
fluctuations afford field for the prosecu-
ton of their bold schemes. The trad-
tons of ordinary business, which enioin
prudence, foresight, and patience, were
lost sight of, and the spirit of gambling,
from one end of the land to the other, had
taken possession of the minds of great
portion OF the people. Everywhere great
risks were being blindly and gaily assumed
in the confident hope of great gains, and
with little thought of the terrible conse-
quences which must follow failure. At
such time, the project Of refunding could
hardly be expected to receive favorable or
even serious attention at home. The new
bonds appealed onlyto conservative minds.
They offered secure investment for a
long period in return for considerable
reduction of the interest then being re-
ceived for bonds of equal security. but of
uncertain term. The average citizen of
the Uniled States at that period was more
bent on high returns for his money than on
the permanency of his investment. lie
gave himself little concern AS to what he
could do with his fluids when they should
be returned to him, and the offer of ten.
fifteen, or thirty years, before the new
bonds should be paid was not tempting to
him.
Accordingly. the reiundng bonds met
with small favor in this country for several
years. Mr.. Boutwell, succeeded in plac-
ing some s20o, 900. 900 of the per cents
before he went out Of Office at the end of
President Grants first term, aud Secretary
Richardson, who succeeded hin., raised
this amount to something over $751;, 000,-
900, about one-fifih only OF the total
amount provided for by the refanding law
within four years after its passage. OF

Editor Of the Jrhig end Courier:
In copy of a political sheet published in
Augusta, | see most malignant attack upon
the military record of Hon ID. r. Davis, re-
publican candidate for Governor of Maine.
| have no doubt his old comrades in Maine,
the fighting men of his company, will refute
these ISLANDERS, yet, an officer who con
trolled the last of his work at the front, |
wish to add my testimony" For myself
and those who knew him in the field, there
is no need to nail these falschoods, and |
hazard the opinion that the maligners of his
military record were never brave enough to
know what brave soldier was.

others can testify Of the glory that attends
the arms OF the "First Maine" during the
close of the war, the ID. c. boys bore an hon
orable part and none is more deserving of
credit than Corporal ID. T. Davis.

AuGusrA, July Is 1879.
To the Editor of the JoUrAdi:
have received challenges for public dis
cussion from +. X. Pierce and Dr. b. F.
Lancaster grccnback speakers. | had in
tended to accept them. But in the same issue
of the Tribune appear two articles, written
by towards that dare not write over their own
signature, one of them accusing me of stump
ing the county in behalfof my own candidacy,
and the other stating that ''would be poor
attorney, if elected" Gentlemen greenback-
ers, these charges raise an issue for kennebec
County.
To the first charge | say that every man
familiar with my practice knows that gain
nothing pecuniarily from this Office. Many
of my friends have demonstrated with me
for entering the canvass for the nomination.
Even now my humble work in the campaign
is hampered by the fact that ! am compelled
every day to work diligently in my Office dur
ing business hours. If my defeat at the polls
party, would welcome it.
To the second charge, | have this to say.
1t forces me to decline for the present the
two challenges. But | propose joint dis
cusson, highly appropriate and fitting. Capt.
II. W. Black is your candidate for County At
torney, | am the candidate opposed to him.
will meet Mr. Black in joint discussion
for five, ten or fifteen nights, in rs many diff
ferent places in kennebec county, he to have
the reply one night and the next The dis
cussion to be governed by the customary
rules. 1t is peculiarly fitting that rival can
didates for the same Office should hold joint
discussions, especially so in view of this
charge in the Tribune. 1t Is custom gen
orally adopted through the West.
| hold DIR. Lancaster's challenge In abey-
ance for the present, awaiting Capt. Blacks
answer. If Capt. Black declines to meet me-
shall be happy to arrange a series of joint
discussions in Kennebec county with DIR

Principal of the Goshen Institute at Goshen,
N. Y, saw Pillsbury's Islander in print
and at once wrote the manly and earnest
letter which we print to-day. The. pride
and interest thus manifested by the Cap
tain of Co. f., in indicating the record of
one of his command against wanton as
sault, shows the spirit Of the true soldier
and is rs honorable to him rs it is to Mr.
Davis. Pillsbury has walked up the sold
iers more thoroughly than he did with the
kingtield riot
1t is ii curious illustration OF the popu-
lar feeling that the man most in demand
for the Ohio campaign is Zach Chandler
Senator Chandler is very far from being
an orator. lie is not Senate or stump
speaker in the ordinary sense. He rarely
talks for an hour. His faculty for speak
ing is practically limited to short, crisp,
plthy utterances of ten or fifteen minutes.
But he has put so much force into some
of these speeches and he has so clearly hit
the stalwart patriotic sentiment of the
country that the people are everywhere
calling for him. II shows the intensity
and vigor of the feeling which the per-
formances of the Confederate Brigadiers
have stirred ANnRy JoaRM.
Late confessions are always suspicious.
