The Republican policy Of resump.
ton having proved a success, the re-
funding Of the National debt into
bonds bearing lower rate Of inter-
est follows as a matter of course. A
combination ofBankers and business
men has gratitied the country and
startled the Greenback regulators
by taking $3.50, 600, 600 Of the new 4
per cent. loan at a bid, which closed
the refunding process for the pres
ent, that covering all the high in
terest bonds that can be called in
this year. This will save millions
of dollars in interest to the tax-pay-
ers, and will show tho people that
they can still confde their affairs to
the Republican party with conf.
dence.
The present debates i'll Congress
offer too good an opportunity to the
Republicans for campaign work to
be neglected. Yesterday Mr.. Bur.
rows, of Mich, added another grand
speech to the many that have al
ready been made in favor of main.
tanning the Federal election laws as
they are in behalf honest elections.
All these speeches ought to be sent
out broadcast over the land, and con-

both Houses went into caucus last
night, when Mr.. Frye, of Me-, pre-.
sided and Mr.. Townsend, Of Ohio.

Senator Window had lengthy
interview to-day with Prof. Greener
and other representative colored
men OH the proposed negro coloni-
cation scheme. They are very SAN
guine that the scheme may be pro.
secuted to a successful termination,
and report that lively interest in
the subject has already been awak-
ened among philanthropists through
out the country. Prof. Greener and
several other representative colored
men leave here to night for Boston,
where they will lay their plans be-
fore the people of that city and soil.

says that the people Of the country
need not think that this is any uta.

bout it in methodical practical
manner to raise the money to equit

A good deal of credit is given to
Prof. Gamgee, the inventor of the
process just adapted by Congress for
a refrigerating vessel for protection
against yellow fever, because Of his

its way through Congress. Commits

investigate the cattle disease, and
Prof. Gamgee, who is familiar with
the subject, declared that this large
amount was unnecessary, but the
thing to do was to place the matter
in the hands of the National Board
of Health. Congress will probably
adopt this suggestion, which is a
good one, economically and sani.
tarily. Standish.
