Secretary Sherman has now issued an
order to call in ten millions Of ten-fOrty
bonds and, in declining to state what subscrip-
ton of four per cents they are called against,
suggests that he may pay the cash for the bonds
III no other provision has been made. 1t may
be that tho Secretary expects to see ten
millions of the ten-dOllar certificates sold
within the next three months, and believes
that by making the call now he Will save in
the amount of double interest to be paid.

If Mr.. Llngbein knows when he is beaten
he will abandon his bill to destroy Central
Park, after no less a person than General
Shaler, Commander of the First Division OF
the National Guard. has pronounced against
it in the words reported elsewhere. General
Shaler is naturally as anxious as any member
of his command that the militia shall
have suitable parade ground, but he
is opposed to this scheme for the
reason that good parade-GrOund cannot be
obtained in Central Park without cutting up
the roads, and like THE TRIBUNE, he is not
in favor Of destroying pleasure ground which
has cost the city much money and means so
much to the poorer classes He is positive in
his opinion that the only parade ground which
could be had in the Park without cutting up
roads, suppOsing that the people would consent
to such an intrusion, is one which would be too
small for a division drill. General Shaer
says frankly that the militia "don't want"
this small parade ground AS both the people
and the militia are opposed to the bill, then,
Mr.. Langbein may as well withdraw into a
friendly Obscurity.

Tho twentieth Annual Report of the ladies
Christian Union of New York presents an attractive
summary Of the work accomplished By this pious
oruanization-a work which it would be a mistake
to describe as q charity, although a benevolent
purpose animates It's managers. The Union was
established for the benefit of young and unpro-
tected women who are dependent upon their own
exertions for support, and to such 1t offers board
and lodging. with religious privileges and nome
influence for very moderate sum. Its two
establishments, the Young WOmen's Home, Nos. 27
and 25 Washing gtOn-squa:e. North, and the Branch
Home for widows aud clderlY women, No. 20S " est
Elcyenth-st., are both sustained, far current
expenses are concerned by payments from tho in
mates and donations are only used for rent, taxes,
repairs. etc. The bOarders comprise sewing-girs,
millincrs copyIsts, teachers, art students. tele-
graph operators etc, etc. Devotional exercises
form prominent part of tie routine OF the Homes,
aud all members of the family arc expected to
attend church on Sundays, and the daily prayers
in the parlors oi the Homes.

Mr.. Reagan, of Texas propOunded a re-
markable theory in tho House yesterday,
insisting that 1T was good practice to pass
the River and Harbor bill under suspension Of
the rules, because it was impossible then
to mako extravagant amendments. Inas-
much re- the bill is always stuffed
full of jobs before being reported, the
force of this suggestion is at once apparent.
Mr.. Reagan is one of the leading statesmen
of the Solid South, was a member of Jefler-
son Davis's Cabinet, and in the event of the
election of a Democratic President, would no
doubt be called upon TO shore up" the Ad-
fninistration with his great intellect.

The people Of New Orleans haye at last become
alarmed at the danger Of fresh outbreak of yellow
fever aud have formed an Auxiliary Sanitary As
sOcaton' to encourage and support tho authorities
IN the work of purifying tho city. 1t Is better lats
than never, and perhaps If tho citizens press hard
the association, and the association pushes the
shItless city officials vigorously, the invitation
held out to Yellow Jack by tho reeklng
streets and cutters may be made little less
urgent before the hot weather comes. With a
mighty river flowing past her front door, SO TO
speak, aud a saltwater sea washing her back yard
there is no reason, except her own negligence
why Newt Orleans Is not Of tho cleanest cities in
the world. When General Butler commanded
there during the war the place kept in perfect
sanitary condition. No wonder there are many in
tellgeut citizens who. contrasting the presen.
abomnable condition Of the city with Its cleanli-

The poor Democratic party is in hot water
again. The old feud between the East on one
side. and the South and West on the other
between hard-money and soft-money, has
broken out once more, and the West and
South and soft-money have carried the day.
The House of Representatives has decided,
through the union of these elements, to allow the
Committees on Banking and Currency, Coinage,
Weights and Measures. and Ways and Means,
to report at any time, and to allow majority
to fix day for the consideration OF public
bill. This ends all hope of brief extra
session, and removes the last barrier to
general legislation. Already the plans OF
the inflationists and silver lunatics are
forming, and Eastern Democrats nervously
await the deluge. If Republicans considered
such events solely from partisan point OF
view, they would be very glad of this vote,
for it is another nail in the Democratic coffin.
But, unhappily, it may mean untold disaster
to the country.

The Legislature Of 1879 car justly pride it
self on having fulfilled a constitutional duty,
shamefully neglected by its predecessors.
The Apportionment bill has passed both
houses IN the shape into which the Confer
epce Committees hammered it, and now goes
TO the Governor. The debate in both houses
showed that the bill excited opposition chiefly
among Republican members on the ground that

cred to belong by right to the RepuD-
hcans and in the Assembly there was
but one Democratic vote against 1t; all OF

is not thing upon which party or an indi-
vidual should expect to be complimented, out
it is so rare in partisan legislation that 1t Is
impossible not to pronounce benedictlon upon
an anportionment bill with which the minority
is content.

do not as yet bear out the predictions
Of the officials of the treasury that a

to sixteen cents Per pound would re-
suit in loss Of ten millions of dollars
per year to the government. On the
contrary, the returns for May and

A Cape Town dispatch says that
Chief Morosi has submitted the pres
ent trouble with the Basulous, there
fore it is settled, but much discomfort
still exists. It is feared that there
will be a severe famine next year in
Zululand, as its DOW seed time and no
land is being sown, while much seed
has been DESTROYED and many cattle
seized. King C,tywayo, when leav-
ing the battle, field Of Ulundi, told his
chiefs to look to their own safety and
seek terms OF peace as best they could.
His army is broken up, his nation
dispersed, and the King a fugitive.
Zululand will probably be divided into
three or fopr separate municipalities,
each under the rule of an iRdepend,

Cham, will receive his own territory

The canvass in Ohio is progressing
finely. 1t is stated that 's'Gen. Ew-
ing, in his Democratic canvass for
Governor of Ohio, is making strong
point on the fact that his party, since
barring the majority in the House of
Representatives, has effected great
economics H. the administration Of the
Government. The notorious fact,
however, is pointedly made, that
since the Democrats obtained the mas
terry of the House the lobby has ut
terly disappeared from Washington,
which is an argument every farmer
and mechanic in Ohia can under
stand. 1t means that huge and
wasteful leaks in the Treasury have
been stopped"

MAINE.

The following from the st Louis
Republican explains the situation in
Maine, which is growing more inter-
esting every day:
"How far the disagreement between
the Democrats and Greenbackers in
Main, reported few days ago, ex-
tends we are not able as yet TO per-
ceive; if, however. it shall turn out to
be a complete arrangement between
the two parties lately ip accord, it is
the sure precursor of Republican
victory. The Democrats and Green
hackers of the State, cordially united,
can probably carry the forthcoming
election: divided. they will be beaten
in detail by the common enemy.
Nothing would be more agreeable
tQ the Republicans than to see the
amity between their opponents broken
up. 1t is settled now that there will
be no election of governor by the pop
nlar vote; the duty of making a choice
will devolve on the lower house of the
legislature. In the present house the
Democrats and Greenbackers have a
majority of II, and this the Republic
cans cannot overcome, if their oppo-
nents stand together. With such an
alliance as existed between them at
last election they could probably not
only maintain their ascendency in the
state, but strengthen it, and thus res
cue another New England state from
the Republicans. But the Green
hackers; elated with the partial sue
cess they achieved at the last election
and presuming on the comparative
weakness of their allies, the Demo-
Gratis, now dem and that the latter
shall abandon their organization and
support the Greenback ticket. The
Democrats, although conscious of their
own weakness, are not prepared to do,
this, and hence the prospect of two
tickets. 1t is to be hoped the Difficult
ty will be adjusted on terms satisfac>
tory to both parties"
