THE NATIONAL CREDIT.
It haa beon but ton days ago TINT wo no.
ttcod tho fact that in tho first los days Of
tho ycar tho Government Ind boon ablo to
dispose Of at par $2so. 1000, ,00o Of por cent
bonds With which to redeom tho Same
amount Of outstanding 6.90 bonds bcaring 6
par cent interest,". No such financial opera
tion Ind hcon accomplished by any Govern
mont during The Inst hnif-century. But
ovon tint extraordinary achievement hos
been collapsed by tho transactions Of Thurs-
dag Inst.
When tho Government closed ont the 5-20
bonds by calling in tho Inst of them ton
days ago. thore wore no outstanding bonda
subject to call for redemption save the
$194, ,o0D,00 Of 1910 bonds iBsued in 1864,
bonring por cent. Tho Secrotary Of tho
Treasury therefore gayo notico that he
would Issue 4 per cont bonds TO m
anonnt cqual to tho redemption Of
these + per cents. Since then tho salo
of 4 per cents Inns progressed until Thura-
t'ny. when tho subscription was malo for
$3.50, ,00o, 200 OF por cent bonds-tho sum
not then sold-0t one-Qaqrter per cent pro-
n'i"H'; and nlso for S40,0oo,000 OF per
cent $lo cort'tlcates, making m aggregate
subscription in single day Of $3.50, 900, 600
for per cont securities at premium.
Thus, between tho lst Of january and tho
.17th day Of April, tho Government sold
St7+,Nn,oU OF per cont bont!s, ot which
10000, 900 were sold at a premium.
This for Government that has boon
ruined, destroyed, bankrupted, md reduced
to slavery. according to Democratic orators
ut Washington, is n protty fair showing of
credit md vitality. It is financial opern-
tion TINT no other Government on carth
could accomplish. It is unprecedented IN
tho history Of my existing Government.
The people who nro bowling for depreciat.
ed paper money and opposed to specie
resumption can find fitting commentary Oh
their demands in these financial auccessos Of
the Government. The annual saving Of
interest by tho funding Of per cent bonds
during tho last eighteen months Inns been at
the ratio of $4,000, 600 annually, though tho
most of 1t Inns been accomplished during tho
lust year, and since tho passage OF the silvor
bill.

4 Stormy Scene Between Mr.. and
Mrs. Sprague.

NARRAGANsETT PIER, Aug. II. -
Mr.. and Mrs. Sprague had an exciting
interview to-day. He accused her of
breaking her marriage vows and Sena-
tor Conkling of alternating his children
from him. Mrs. Sprague in turn ac-
cused her husband of general brutality
when under the influence of liquor and
circulating base and unfoundcd stories
against her character. She said that
on more than one occasion she had been
in peril of her life, referring distinctly
to one occasion when he had pointed
loaded pistol at her and threatened to
shoot her. When Governor Sprague
referred to Senator Conkling's intima-
cy with Mrs. Sprague she repelled any
insinuation of wrong-doing on her part
with great indignation. Mr.. Sprague
then took the three girls from her to
his house, and later in the evening she
followed them. Tomorrow she is to
leave the place. Sprague says that her
letter is tissue of lies.
