The silver dollars, which, according
to Secretary Sherman, were to help re-
sumption, still continue to accumulate
in the Treasury. The result already
should clearly reveal to the most super
fetal observer that Secretary Sherman is
more of currency quack than saga
cious financier. The report IS confirmed
from Washington that Mr.. Sherman is
sorely troubled with regard to the con-
stantly increasing store Of our fathers
dollars. He is unable to use them in
paying the clerks in the Treasury, who
prefer the silver certificate instead. 1t

elevate the moral attitude of their con-
stituents, this would not be so. But in
ste ad they live almost entirely from
home, and operate upon the legislators
to secure their reelection through the
tricks of nominating conventions and,
like Chandler in Michigan, and Cameron
in Pennsylvania, get their seats in the
Senate in such modes as shut out almost
all honorable and high-minded men.
The, Senate is too small it is too easily
influenced by such men as Conkling.-
To-day the House of Representatives
stands higher for honorable motives and
patriotic sentiment than the Senate has
done for the last two decades, at least
and an able man of moral and exalted
views in that body commands more re-
spect from the people than three-fitths o
the members of the Senate.

the Secretary Of the Treasury to sell 4
per cent bonds to the amount of $4,000
OO0, for the payment OF arrears ofpensions.
The Senate, by vote of fl to % refused
to take up the bill for reviving and con-
tinuing the court of commissioners OF
the Alabama claim, and for the dis
tribution Of the unappropria ed money S
Of the Geneva award. The bill for the

up, aud several amendments adopted.
Pending consideration of the bill the

In the House, Speaker Randall called

THE COUNTY DEBT.-County Trea-
surer, William Herbert, Esq, publishes
a statement of the financial condition
Of the county in another column. 1t will
be seen that the total bonded and floating
debt is S1l3, 800; the assets, $6d, ,759.39
leaving debt to be provided tor OF $47,-
040.61. These are the figures of the
Treasurer, who, we are glad to learn, is
favorable to the extinguishment of the
debt before any other liabilities are in-
Cured. He informs us that he has
nothing to do with the proposition now
before the Legislature to borrow $780,
900 to build a new court house and
county buildings. 1t will be seen thai
Mr.. Herbert estimates that tax of At
cents on the 500 for the next year, /
authorized by the Levy Court at il
March session, will extingush the whole
floating and bonded debt of the county
or in other words, an addition of tel
cents on the 500 to the last years ia,
levy, will discharge our county liabili
ties. 1t is question, therefore, with TIN
court whether they assess tax of 4
cents on the 500 and pay the debt, O
continue to borrow money from year +
year. The Treasurer iavors the pay
ment of the debt, and we concur wit
him. But this is matter that must re.
with the wisdom of The Levy Court.

the Senate has become a body noted Tor
its greed of power and for It's want of

the great patriotic body it formerly was.
And to-day it is considered as easy to
