authorization, under the penalty Of con-
fiscation of stock and prohibition Of
trade. Private persons possessing arms

sion. Porters must be kept at the doors

drawn. According to the last accounts

London Times on Secretary Sherman.
LONDON, April 2l.-The Times con-
graduates Secretary Sherman upon his
success in converting the l040 bonds,
and says that the conversion OF the six
per cent bonds in 1881 is likely TO de-
pend more than the present operation
on the maintenance OF the credit OF the
United States abroad. The reviving of
trade in the United States will, by 1881,
probably render it impossible to obtain
money there at per cent. Now, that
the conversion has been carried as far
as 1t can be for two years, Sherman
should direct the attention of Congress
and the nation TO the policy OF reducing
the capital of the debt, which has been
for some time neglected.
