THE FOUR PEP GENTS,


WASHINGTON: Oct. 1.-The following state
ment in relation to the closing of the per
cent. loan is issued by the treasury depart
disbursing officers, postmasters, and other Of
fcers, for proceeds of per cent. bonds. have
been closed without the loss of a dollar. All
proceeds have been paid into the treasury ex-
cept the called bonds coupons now in
transition from government agents in London.
The amount of called bonds outstanding not
yet presented for payment, is 1928, 81 800, all
of which bonds are provided for by cash in the
treasury, except $676, $50, for which an equal
amount of per cent. bonds is retained in the
department unsold. It is believed this amount,
and perhaps more of called bonds, will not be
presented for payment within the year, and re-
served bonds will only be sold as neeoed. Aggre-
gate of per cent. bonds sold, $74O 848, $3.50.
GOLD FOR CURRENCY OBLIGATIONS.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. AT the Omitted States
sub-treasury to-day all payments of interest on
the per cent loan were made in gold coin.
Gold was also given in payment of all cur
rency obligations on account of the accumula-
ton of coin in the vaults. 81. .
GOLD ARRIVAL.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The steamship Gellert,
which arrived from Europe to-day, brought
gold bullion to the amount of 1858, 900 francs,
and ZO2, UUO reich marks. .
SPECIE PAYMENTS.
The United States assay Office paid out to-
day 1868, 1877 in specie.
FRENCH GOLD FOR AMERICA.
LONDON, Oct 1.-The Financ;el' says ex-
change on New York has again sunk to bullion
point. It is expected that the 15U, 600 pounds
remaining on the market from the Australian
consignment of 25, 600 pounds mentioned Satur-
day, will go to America. Meantime the French
drain of gold to the United States seems to
have assumed something of its former magni-
tude. A large sum is stated to have left Havre
yesterday, and there is reason to believe the d.
rectors of the Bank of France have decided to
advance the premium one per mile for the
purpose of checking the outflow. This deter
mination having obtained credcnce in Paris it
is anticipated by large Withdrawals for London.
SILVER PURCHASES.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The treasury depart.
ment to-day purchased 239, 900 ounces of silver
bullion for the United States mint at Phila.
delphia.
ARREARS OF PENSIONS.
Nearly $8,000,000 were paid out of the
treasury during September on account of pen
sion arrears. But for this the decrease in the
public debt during the month would have been
about $40, 900 900.

MAJOR T. T. THORNBURGH.

Major Thomas T. Thornburgh, the officer
whose death is reported, is a graduate of the
Military academy of the class of 1867, being
promoted to second lieutenant of artillery.
In 1870 he received his promotion to first
lieutenantcy, and April 26th, 1876, he was
promoted to en- orr ginal vacancy in the pay
department as major. May 23d, 1873, he

T"God speed the day when the
maxim, This is my country-all my
country-every section, every state,
every acre of soil over which the flag of
the republic f1oats-shall be embraced
by every American freemen, not only
as q geographical, historical and politi-
cal fact, but as a living, potential, in
spring sentiment"
The above are patriotic words, and If
spoken by man whose actions were
also patriotic, would be entirely unex-
ceptionable. They are the words Of
Senator Gordon of Georgia, in recent
speech in Savannah. Every one OF Sen
ator Gordon's votes in the United
States Senate has been given to the
cause of sectionalism, of secession, and
of hostility to the national idea. His
actions and his votes proclaim his true
sentiments, and they are in glariDg con-
tradiction to those expressed in his
speech. His words are intended simply
to tickle the ears of Northern fools, and
to cajole people into forgetfulness Of
the real purposes of Southern leaders
Lying hypocrisy of this kind is one O.
the means made use of by the ex-rebeli
to gain control of the country. Patriot
ic talk from men who act as Senator
Gordon does is too Pecksniffian to have
much effect upon sensible people.

IL The postmaster general explains
that his recent order requiring all let
tiers directed to places not postoffices
and letters directed without the state
being given, to be sent to the dead let
Ter office, is not meant to apply to letters
whose address is positively known to
post officials. Under this ruling letters
addressed to New York city, without
the state being given, are mailable, also
drop letters addressed simply with the
name of the town or with the word
"city," as is common. There can be
no doubt that the order referred to is a
salutary one, as the far greater share
of lost letters is due to want of suffi-
cient direction. 1t would be for the
public good, and greatly relieve the
postal service, ifthe directions on letters
were always SO full and complete that
mistakes in their delivery would be i'm
possible, and the action of the postmas
ter general will have tendency to ed
ucste the people to better attention tt
this necessary matter. With the modi
fications as to known addresses the or
der ought to be enforced, even at tn,
cost of temporary Inconvenience t,

BnArrIrpoRo BUSINESS MEN DO

BRArTLEBoRo BUSINESS MEN DO A
LITTLE DIRT-EATNG.-A large delega-
ton of prominent citizens, mostly bust
ness men, waited upon the proprietors
of the several hotels at the Brooks
house, Monday morning, and urged
that their houses be at once opened, on
the ground that the business interests
Of the town were being seriously af-
fected by their being closed the past
week. The delegation believed that
they voiced the opinion of large ma
jority of the community in saying that
they were satisfied with the manner in
which the hotels had been conducted
the past year. When they could not
approve, In the face of the law, of an
open bar, they believed, If the hotels
were opened with the understanding
even that they were 10 supply the de-
mands Of their guests, no complaints
could reasonably be made, nor did they
believe any would be made. The pro-
prietors then, after holding conference
by themselves, decided to open their
houses at once, but not their bars; con-
sequently their doors were thrown open
at ~ O'Clock, to the great satisfaction OF
the business community. The friends
of license say they repudiate the recent
rotten-egging affair.-(Springfield Re-
publican.

as business men 1t Is their right, TO see
that their rivals in business take no ad-
vantage of them by INDUCING in Illegal
practices. A hotel keeper who really
desired to observe the law could close
every bar which drew away his custom.
He has the best possible facilities for
doing SO, and public sentiment ought to
be, and is getting TO be, such that 1t
would be safer for him to take this
course than to violate the law himself.
If this were done, the thirsty traveller
could be safely referred to the statutes
of Vermont as q sufficient reason why
his desires could not be gratifed, and
the righteous hotel keeper could rejoics
in his heart that he was doing nothing
tending to the moral and physical dam
age of his customer and to the propaga
ton of great public evil.

WARN WEATHER FOR FRUIr.-The
recent warm weather proved very dis
astrous to fruit in the New York mar
kets. The apple market has been seri-
ously affected, and many of the most
popular varieties Of fall apples bring
hardly enough to pay the cost Of send
ing them from the orchards. When
shipped to the markets immediately az
ter they have been picked they have
shown signs of decay when received,
and In q few days have become worth
less. Many barrels must be sold for
not more than sl barrel. The ounce
market has been almost entirely de-
stroyed, and tomatoes have come In
In such large quantities that they have
been sold ~ low as 10 cents busbel.
One of the phenomena Of the season Is

berries from Delaware and Maryland.
One grower has shipped Al one time as
many as 120 pipts Of raspberries from
his bushes second crop this season.

~ The citizens of Brattleboro have
almost gone down upon their knees 10
pursuade the hotel keepers, who have
recently been made to feel that there is
prohibitory law In this state, and who
had sulkily closed their houses because
they were not allowed to violate tthe
same, to open their doors again, and it
is pleasure to learn that the. latter
have graciously and forgivlpgly assent
ed. The citizens of Brattleboro acted a
foolish part, as they ought to consider
that the hotel keepers could not afford
to let their property lie idle long. The
plea of the hotel keepers that they could
not make their business pay unless they
sell liquor is senseless one. If the
plea is tras, then it proves that there is
no sufficiehl demand for hotels in Brat
tleboro. or else that there are too
many Of them. The same plea, If al
lowed as valid, would give to a man in
any business who was dissatisfied with
his profits, right to add bar to his
establishment in order to bring his
gains up to his desires. The hotel keep
er has no more right to sell liquor than
the shoemaker, the barber or the mes-
gre-salaried clergyman. He has certain
ly no more right to violate the law.
This 10 the only sensible way to look 1t
1t. And the hotel keeper, the legiti-
mate part ofwhose business does not
pay, and who therefore takos to rum
selling, is more contemplate than the
rumseller pure and simple, inasmuch as
his violation of the law is done under
the lying cover Of an honest business.
He Is not hotel keeper aud ought not
to be called SO, but simply rumselIer
who adds hypocrisy to his crime. E . W.
A common assertion among hotel
keepers is that II they do not keep q
bar their patrons will desert them for
some ono that does. This is cowardly
