THE rnrypERRs ON AMERICAN FINANCES.

LoNpoN. April 23.--The Times eiitorially
congratulates Secretary Sherman upon the
success OF converting the 10 40 bonds, and
says the conversion OF the per cent bonds
in 1851 is likely to depend more than the
present operation, on the maintenance Of
the credit,Of the United States abroad. fho
reviving trade in the United States will by
1851, probably render it impossible to OBJ
tain money then at four per cent. The
Times suggests now that the conversion has
been carried a. lar as It can be for two
years. and that Mr. Sherman should direct
the attention OF Congress and the nation to
the policy Of reducing the capital of the
debt which has been Tor some tine neg lectci

THE NEXT CENSUS.

Washington. Feb. 2s.-I is believed BY
those wko have given close attention to the
subject that the federal census next year
vill reveal . condition Of things far from
fattering to our national pride, and not
conducive to boastfulness. For the first
TIME in our history the census of 1850 will
show that in ten years of toll and accumula.
ton We have apparently mot gained . cent,
and will be poorer in 1880 than We we're IN
1870. That il, the returns of national
wealth in 1880 will be les than in 1870, Z

The time is moi far distant in the past
when the whole of Lawrence county lifted
up its united voice and cried GU, against the
officials appointed BY Governor Pennington
to conduct their public affairs. Finally
an election and a half dozen loaded re-
volvsrs gave them a change and they
thought they would be happy. The Dead
wood Times gives the following summary
as showing the difference between the ope.
rations Of the bennington ring" and the
operations Of the "reformers":
The statement published by US on Friday
of the county indebtedness, is an exhibition
that is not q subject of Interesting study to
Taxpayers. There IL one feature Of it, how
ever. that is deserving Of mention. From
1t ae learn thai during the FIRST administra.
ton when Evans, Wolzmuth and Lavender
were commissioners, Hand was register Of
deeda, Col. Lawrence was treasurer and Seth
Bullock was sheriff, the total expenditures
was $59.178,2l, while for the year 1873 the
democratic officials managed to get away
With $233,2bS,02. During the year 1877
when the county was just organized the ex-
penses Of living was fully one-third higher
than in 1873 and work, labor and material
was proportionally as high, and the expen-
sss of the Jail, especially the boarding and
feed of the prisoners, was much greater
than At any time since the Jail wa built and
paid for in 1877, and yet in the election Of
the fall Of that year the strongest argument
that the democrats could advance against
the old officials wa Their extravaganza and
recklessness in the expenditure Of the coun-
~ funds! 1t is a matter that will bear in
vestigstion and the more it is Investigated
the more infamous does the administration
of 1878 appear.

Two issues back We Published the first
news in regard to the reported rich strike
on French creek, carefully wording the
the article and stating the plain facts as
they reached US, & living the sources of our
information. We are decidedly opposed to
pr. cipitating gold excitements and causing
stampedes On flying and uncorroborated re
ports, as much hardship would be likely to
result should the reports prove false; and
no one would be seriously detrimented by
waiting . while, until their truth or falsity
was established.
We have since been in constant commu.
~nication with friends on French creek. The
rich prospects first reported by US we're
really obtained-of that there can no longer
be doubt ; but VI have not yet received in.
formation that We deem sufficient to Justify
US in stating, positively, that the new dis
c~overies are extensive. We believe, how.
ever, 3 large number might get valuable
claims on the line of the strike. But this
is a matter of conjecture. Should the main
channel Of French creek prove uniformly
rich-and it is not unreasonable to believe
it wil1-several thousand miners NAV b.
probably engaged.
