The way the country Is getting stirred
up over the Confederate demonstration at
Washington is something remarkable. A
republican member of Congress who re-
turned from New York to Washington two
or three days ago reports that he found the
feeling among business men of the city
and Brooklyn over the situation of affairs
much more intense than he had supposed
it was. Crossing the Fulton Ferry in a
carriage one morning he said. Il picked
up one OF the leading dry-goods mer-
chants, and he rode up town with me. He
was positively in state Of alarm, although
he rarely takes much interest in politics
1he idea that the South should get control
OF the Government and keep the country
IN an uproar with its reactonary political
measures and its wildcat financial schemes
was something which he could not con
template with any degree of calnness
and the language he used was more cm-
phatic than have ever heard from ren,,b-
hcan politicians in this city. An infuen-
tial bank officer whom | met talked in
much the same way. None of them are

A WOrn-Out subject.

The greenback papers continue to harp
upon the old subject of dispute, whether
the payment of the principal of the 5-2O
bonds should. according TO the original
contract, be in coin or rpaper. 1fthere ever
were any good reason for dispute concern
ing this matter there is not the least at the
present time. So far as any practical re-
suit is concerned the question is entirely
obsolete. The payment of the principal
of those bonds could not be demanded by
the holders until twenty years after they
were issued. They have still several
years to run before payment can be exact
ed of the government
Resumption of specie payments. which
has equalized the value of paper and gold
as currency, making greenbacks as good
as gold, has settled this matter etlectually.
1t makes no difference now to the holder
of United States bond whether he re-
ceives gold or greenbacks for interest or
principal of his bonds. One kind of pay
ment is as good as the other; but most of
people would prefer the paper to the gold,
because the former is more convenient to
be taken care of or disposed of than the
latter. If greenbackers were honest they
would state the facts as they are. They
would not harp about the great wrong Of
paying the bondholders in coin when the
contract did not require it (as they saw
but would frankly tell their readers and
hearers that resumption has wiped out all
cause of dispute upon this subject
The government has never paid dol
lar in coin upon the principal of these
bonds unless il has done so voluntarily.
The people will never lose a dollar if they
are paid in coin. When greenbacks or
national bank notes are worth dollar for
dollar in gold. who cares which of these
three kinds of currency are paid him, or
what possible difference can it make to
him (unless as regards convenience which

The manifest desire of Southern demo-
Gratis to evade responsibility for the reyolu-
tionary programme which was overturned
by the bold stand of the republicans in
Congress and the President veto prompts
the Tribune to make the following plain
talk to them: These gentlemen have lust
come back from an unsuccessful conspira-
cy, and the first thing we find them doing
is engaging in another. When this, like
the others, bids fair to fail disastrously. it
will not answer to try to turn off the con-
sequences by protesting that they were
tempted again by the same old tempter.
Here is Mr.. Alexander Stephens talking
like a little winged cherub about the unfor-
tunate complication over the Appropriation
bill and saying that he was not and never
was in favor of that method of lcgisation
And lot of milk-andwater people cry
out, Just look at the noble and patriotic
stand of Mr.. Stephens Can any one say
after this that the Southern Democracy
cannot be safely trusted? Oh, essence of
skim-milk, what logic! That's the way
he talked against secession. And then he
became Vice President of it. If demo-
cratic caucus decides to stand firm, he'll
stand firm; if it decides to back down, he'll
back down. Judge these men by what YOU
catch them doing. not by what YOU hear
them saying. These receivers Of stolen
goods who trade and flourish, and say new
er word till the hue and cry is raised.
and then remark to an interviewing re-
porter that they always did deprecate this
way of doing business, aye not good
models for courageous or wholesome poll
tics.
The country finds the Democratic party
in possession of both branches of Congress
and the South in possession of the demo-
cratic party. These two facts being civ
en-, it isn't difficult to place responsibility.
and it isn't easy to evade it

his countenance indicated malignity.
His unhappy turn of thoughts had made

OF course he was unhappy indeed mis-

Dining With His Dead Family.

A mysterious dinner party was given
some time ago, by an elderly gentleman,
in the Holel Demuth, at St. Petersburg.
One morning the gentleman in question
called uponsNlr. Pintscher, the manager
of the Demuth restaurant, and ordered a
luxuriant repast for six, of which he,
himself, made out the menu, selecting
from the wine card the costliest vintages.
He asked for an estimate of the dinners
cost, paid the amount of his bill in adj
vance, and requested that everything
should be prepared for the entertainment
of his guests at seven o'clock precisely
the same evening. At that hour he en-
tered the room reserved for his banquet.
and took his place at the head Of the ia
bic. To the chief walters respectful in
quiry, ''whether he expected his friends
to arrive soon, as the dinner was quite
ready" he replied, ''They are all here

He Suspected Everybody.

Some said he was naturally suspicious.
This may be partly true. But others say
that in early life some unfortunate affairs
had an unhappy effect on his moods and
temper. If felony was committed IN his
neighborhood, and there hung mystery
over the question of the perpotrator, our
hero looked wise and seemed to hint that
he knew the man. In this way he once
came to be seriously suspected of being
an accessory after the fact. But he was
wholly innocent. .--. ...... ,s
One day he was walking down the
street and saw some men talking and
laughing. Occasionally they looked up
the street. BY the time he reached the
group his face was very red. He looked
vexed. BE supposed their laughter was
in some way at his expense. Fortunate
~, he paused long enough to hear that
they were making merry over the saying
and doings Of political meeting Of
their own party.
One lent him book, which had been
read with care, and several passages we're
marked with pencil. He supposed the
owner of the book intended to hurt his
feelings by calling special attention to
certain clauses, and yet it was a fact that
the owner did not knew that there was
pencil mark on any page.
In fact, our friend often suspects some
evil intention in the kindest acts
of his best friends. A strange min
lister once t!elineated in the pulpit the
character Of litigious man. Our friend
went home silent, if not surly, and COM
planned of personalities in the pulpit.
ii His lite was full of uneasiness without
cause, except as found in his undue SEN
sibility and suspiciousness. Things said
in general way he, with strange per-
versitys applied to himself. He trusted
few, if any. he had an astonishing facil-
ity for giving bad turn to all that was
said.

dren caught his spirit. At school they Of
