A 1880 Forpsrv.

The Third National Bank of this city
about week ago received from the Farm
ers Bank, of Frankfort KY, n ots for
$4,000, dated July Oath, 1879 payable nine
months after date, purporting to be signed
by w. W. Johnson & Co., the we'll known
rtctifiers and compounders of spirits, on
the east side of Sycamore street, between
Front and Second, this city. The note had
been indorsed by ]. & J. NJ. Saffell, a wide
ly known distilling firm of Frankfort, and
was sent here to be collected from johnson
& Co., when it should fall due, which was
Yesterday. The note was sent to johnson
T. Co., who denied the signature and said it
was forgery.
The Third National then sent the note to
Frankfort with an explanation.
A couple of days after the Third Ma
tional received the note from Frankfort
the First National Bank OF this city also
received note for like amount with the
same date, signature the same, from their
correspondent in Frankfort. The note
was shown to Johnson & Co., who imme-
diately pronounced it. a forgery. The yery
next day, however, fbefore the note be-
came due), telegram was received from
Frankfort ordering the ndts to be returned
Immediately, which was done. and the
First National has heard nothing of il
since.
So far neither W. w. johnson & Co. nor
the banks have lost anything by the forg.
cry. The case will be investigated.

CHEAPER BREAD.

The tendency during the last few
weeks has been toward lower prices in
grain and the staple productions of the
country that, under the stimulus of the
unexampled revival in trade and conse-
quent speculation, had risen more than
was justified by the actual consumptive
demands Of the people. We have wit
messed the spectacle of a grain crop
of unparalleled abundance in this
country, followed by really high
prices in grain and -four to the masses
of the people who are entitled, in the
midst of all the abundance, to cheap
bread. We have seen an almost total
failure of the harvests of Europe, and
an active demand there for our cereals
suddenly checked by reason of the pur-
chase and holding out of market here
for still higher rates of many millions
of bushels of wheat by syndicate of
New York Wall Street capitalists, who
were not content with reasonable
and moderate profits, but refused to sell
at prices which would permit shipments,
although hundreds of vessels were living
idly at the wharves in New York vainlv
begging for cargoes to foreign ports at
prices for freight but little more than
the cost of ballast.
Reports from the seaboard note recent
iy rather sharp decline in wheat, and
the New York Tribune of late date saws
there have been some failures in conse-
quence of this decline.
If the failures could be confined to
the heartless syndicate that has kept
several millions bushels of wheat locked
up and doing nobody any good, we do
not think that there would be many
tears shed over a disaster of much
greater extent in the metropolis, and
the chances are that these spectators
will be glad pretty soon to unload
considerably below rates they have fol
months refused to entertain.
Late foreign advices announce
that the official estimate of the
stock of grain in London is larger than
anticipated, being $4,000 quarters
against 100000 at the same time last
year, while the recent fine weather is
said to have made an extremely favor

fore less likely to suffer from un-

and although the supplies of English
wheat are reported light both in London

OUR DEBT REDUCTION.

Ihe telegraph announced Gay or TWO
since that the public debt has been re-
duced some $1O,OOO,OOO during the past
month. This is very pretty sum to
show on the National balance sheet, and
calculated to strengthen public faith in
our four per cent. bonds, if any bolster
ing of that kind is needed; while re-
duction at this rate continued for the
next fifteen years would pretty much
extinguish the entire National debt.
The question, however, naturally comes
in whether so heavy load as
the payment of our current expenses,
pensions to soldiers and an annual re-
duction of $12O,OOO,OOO of the principal
of our National debt is sound policy at
this time. For the last six or seven
years the industry OF the country has
lain PROSTATE and only within the past
few months begun to get once more upon
its feet. Many branches of trade are
even yet scarcely restored to their nor
NAL healthy condition and ought not
to be too heavily weighted
down with government imports,
particularly since burthensome munich
pal and State Indebtedness is almost a
universal condition throughout the
country. The legacy of debt that the
war has left us has of course to be paid
off sometime, but the staggering weight
that for the last fifteen years we have
supported has been at times almost un-
endurable. Our pension lists are enor-
nous, and if it were possible ought to be
laid upon the country and the people
who are to come after this generation is
gone. Manifestly, therefore, as we are
bearing this heaviness now, some of our
other burthens should be borne by our de-
scendants who are to enjoy the usufruct
of our labors and privations in the past.
1t therefore seems proper to inquire
whether the duty of Congress is not now
to reduce very materially the weight Of
taxation, and for the ensuing few years
permit the country to expand in the de-
velopment of our unbounded resources,
to gather in the swarms of thrifty popu-
lation that are flocking to our shores,
where there is land, and freedom, and
abundance, from the old world, where
there is famine and grinding military op-
preston, and after years of unrequited
toll but too frequently the poor-house
and paupers grave.
In twenty years our population will
be probably not less than seventy-fve
millions of people, and embrace in terri
tory almost the entire continent, while
the extent of our accumulated wealth
will be almost past computation. Why
should not some of the burthens that
have been placed upon our shoulders in
securing to our children this magnificent
heritage be shared by them, since it is to
them that we bequeath this more than
princely patrimony? .
