Eernnndo IE0o1E's Plan.

Few persons who know anything about
the price of government securities in Eu
rope will dispute the assertion OF the
Washington Post, that il is seldom that
a measure is presented TO congress bear
ing such evidences of mature thought
and careful preparation as Mr.. Woods
bill to refund the public debt represent
ed by the six per cent. bonds maturing
in 1880, and the five per cent. maturing
in 1881. His plan would effect a very
large saving to the country. lie propos-
es to exchange at par three and half
per cent. bonds for those Of higher rate
which are to fall due in 1881. The whole
question turns on the point whether
bonds bearing that low rate Of interest
can be disposed of at par. Mr.. Wood
has no doubt that they car, and he backs
up his belief with an array of facts, fig
ures and arguments which appear IRE
sistible. He shows that four per cents
having a long period to run are selling
in the New York market to- day at D.;
premillm-a considerably better rat.
than highor bonds maturing at shorter
dates. Aud the price which these foul
per cents command is equivalent TO pa
at the low rate which he proposes. Blu
it is not in the price OF our own bond
alone that Mr.. Wood can find an argu
ment to sustain his position. The his
tory of the financial operations Of Grea
Britain is IN itself compact and unan
swerable argument in favor of his posi-
tion. BY all means, let us have thre
and a half per c"nt. bonds for the 81
and five per cents to be refunded in 1SS
and 1SS1.-Memphis appeal.

The meeting Of Congress is eagerly looked
forward to in one quarter at least, for it will
bring sense of deep relief to the members
of the Democratic-Greenback combination in
the Maine Legislature. The presence of
Senator Blaine at Augusta frightened and dis
tressed them. They feared that he might sally
out, like the old giant from his cave, and COB.
BILE up dozen or two Representatives for
lunch as they were vending their way to the
State House. No man yet dares 10 go alone.
The trembling ones travel in groups, and
even then they shy and take to the horse
path, as they go by Mr.. Blaine's house. Like
Coleridge's man they walk in fear and dread,
and having once turned round walk on and
turn no more the head, for fear frightful
fend doth close behind them tread.
The impression prevails in Augusta that
there is perfect network of mines under the
city, that torpedoes are placed underground
in all sorts of unexpected places, and that
the coalitionists must tread very carefully or
they will be blown up-as indeed they will be,
by indignant constituents. Some OF the
members, it is said carry glass insulators
about their persons, so as 10 guard against
the passage of electricity. One was discov-
cred in the library the other day asking for
treatise on defense against torpedoes. An
other was seen searching for Violet-le-Duc's
book on fertilization. It is firmly believed
by many that gunpowder is slowed in the
basement of the capitol as it was under the
old Parliament house, and that Mr.. Blaine
stands like Guy Fawkes ready to touch it off.
The line of the underground passage between
great confidence. 1t is thought by those
best-informed, that upon the reassembling Of
the Legislature an appropriation for defen-
sive purposes will be pressed - the
money to be deducted from the school
fund. Adjutant-General Leavitt is ex-
pected to lock sharply after his depart
ment and see that nothing is wanting in case
it is found necessary to call upon the militia.
All ideas of reducing the military appropra-
tion have been abandoned, and the big guns
about the State House will be put in order.
Nor is Mr.. Blaine alone feared. The Re
publican Senate is an object of distrust. 1t
is not believed the Senators will resort to
arms, but their exercise of the peaceful arts
is feared. Every movement they make, ev-
cry vote they pass is suspiciously scrutinized.
If the Senate, having no business to do, and
awaiting the dilatory action OF the House,
