per cent. bond TO par ought to prevail in
any funding act TO I've passed by Congress,
for the reason, which we repeat once
more, that we are sure not to have any
desire TO so strain our industries by taxa
ton as to be able TO take care Of any
moro principal than already falls due
during the next twcnty-six years.
If, then, we seek no option, but are
prepared to fix time for the maturity OF
the new issue, what shall it be2 If we
say thirty years, that would be reached
four years beyond the four per cents.
We could not hope to do much
during that four years toward their
payment. Then there would be
more funding, more arrangement OF
business by the great transactions OF
the Treasury, and what advantage TO the
people? The four per cents. are now sell
ing at rate which yields three and a
quarter per cent. on the price. Yet they
have twonty-six years and half to run.
This is mathematical cautionary signal
against so short time as thirty years for
the new bonds, If they are to command
par at three per cent.
fla iifty-ycar bond is issued at three
per cent with no shorter option, we can
be certain that it will sell at par. Our
revenues could then be much reduced
and yet leave provision for sinking
fund, under which the new loan could be
cxtinguishcd by equal yearly purchases
to run through the last half of the fifty
years. Such q bond, FREQ from taxation
bearing the lowest rate Of interest ever
paid by a government would, in our
judgment, be the easiest burden the peo.
pie have yet carried.

Senator Kellogg's Seat.

The calling up of the contest for Sena-
tor Kellogg's seat yesterday in the Senate
was the subject of considerable COM
ment. 1t was looked upon as a sign that
the uneasiness in regard to the organiza-
ton of the next Senate was growing. A
prominent Democratic Representative
said yesterday that unless the Democrats
were sure that they would succeed in the
effort il was unwisc to move In IL at all.
The effect would be that of another blum
der. Beside, it was doubtful if the game
was worth the candle, even if kellogg
was unseated. To declare seat va
cant by majority vote was a
dangerous precedent for the Democrats.
There will be in the next Senate seven
Democrats, counting David Davis, who
have Republican Legislatures behind
them, while Kellogg is the only Republic
can who has Democratic Legislature to
replace him. The death or disability of
Grover or Slater, of Oregon; Farley, of
California; Pendleton, of Ohio; Voorhees,,
of Indiana; Mcpherson, of New Jersey
or David Davis, of Illinois, would bring a
Republican in his place, This argument
will have tendency 20 strengthen those
Democratic Senators who have hitherto
been opposed to opening the Kellogg
case again.

Correction.

William p. Wood called in on Monday
to say that in calling him "a discharged
official" we had done him injustice. He
said he never was discharged. Upon in
quiry we find that on May 4, 1869, Solicitor
Banfeld, Of the Treasury Department,
requested by letter the resignation of Mr..
Wood, and that the latter resigned in con-
sequence. We cheerfully make the cor.

WHEN the Committee on Military AT

Ing upon the Secretary of the Treasury
TO inform the House what sums of money
have been paid to Ulysses s. Grant, it
ought at the same time to put the sum in
comparison with what the English peo-
Pile paid the Iron Duke and other heroes
of that nation. 1t will expose the paltry
meanness of this resolution to hold it up

just What DO They Mean ?

The electoral count joint rule was
pressed until the Democrats saw they
could not at present commands q quorum,
and then, under pressure from their own
Appropriations and Ways and Means
Committees, they yielded to the public
business until after the holidays. This
they did most sullenly, and with loud
declarations that they would return to
the contest as soon as their forces could
be mustered together after New Years
Day.
Why this intense earncstness? Is il all
for the mere pleasure of forcing method
where no difference of opinion exists as
to results? Can il be that the Democracy
are willing to devote this session to dis
pute as to how they might exclude elect
oral votes if they were so disposed? Are
they telling the truth when they give it
out with such emphasis that nobody dis
putcs General Garfeld's election?
General Grant said with much emphasis
yesterday, in conversation with friends,
that the course of the Democrats in the
matter of joint rule for counting the
electoral vote indicated that they had
some point in view which they were un-
unwilling to disclose. He said their
protcstations that there was no intention
to question the election of General Gar
field were wholly incompatible with
their persistent determination to force a
new rule to govern the count.
This apprehension is mentioned here
because General Grant is not given to
sensations or alarms. His words were q
warning from wise and prudent man.
The determination of the Republicans of
the House will be equal to the emergency,
so far as defeating the joint rule is con-
cerned But what then? Democratic
members and their party papers have
given ont hints that unless the count
could be made as they say there
would be no count. Mr.. Springer says,
in a late interview, that the Democracy
will not attend joint convention to wit
ness the opening of the returns unless a
joint rule is adopted giving Congress power
over the subject. There is revolu-
tionary element in the Democratic party
left over from 1876, and anxious to create
disturbance. We believe they will be
powerless. There is yet sane element
in the Opposition which neither Springer
on the inside, nor Hewitt on the outside,
can count on for resistance to an orderly
joint convention and peaceful count.

As the day of election draws near the issues o.

AS the day OF election draws near the Issues OF
the canvass appear TO become less sectional.
The organs and speakers Of both parties are
devoting considerable attention at present to q
discussion OF the business interests OF the coun-
try and the effect . change In the political con
troll OF affairs would have. The attempt of wild
politicians to make it appear that this great
republic depends upon any political organtza-
ton for continued life and prosperity Is too
absurd TO have any weight even In an exciting
campaign. Business Is above politics, and ought
to be kept above it, but some citizens of Ken
lucky who feel aggrieved at the manner In
which Cincinnati papers have discussed their
state and section, now seriously propose to
make politics govern business to a certain ex-
tent These kentuckianS have called upon other
business men OF the south to join with them
In agreeing that they Will not purchase
from Cincinnati merchants II, az the coming
election, that city votes 20 sustain the republic
can party. The plea for this courss Is that the
republican papers Of CINCINNATI have ABUSED,
villined and denounced" the people OF the south,
without distinction or exception: that these
papers have held up the southern people as
"brutal, ignorant and dishonest" and that the
merchants OF the abused section ought not, IN
self--espeCt, to spend their money among o
people who thus hold them In contempt. Louis
Vile Is rival of Cincinnati in competing for
southern trade, and this fact may account for
the proposal that southern merchants shall
avoid the latter city. AT any rate, 1t Is TO be
hoped that business Will not, In any of its
branches or interests, become involved in poll
tics. There is no sentiment about business 1t
is based upon self-iuterest, and even in heated
political contest southern merchants Will gen.
orally buy where they can get the best terms
and goods, regardless OF the creed, politics, or
even color, OF the sellers

In portions OF New York city the dlphtheria
has been raging like an epidemic for several
months, numbering its victims by hundreds
The prevalence OF the disease attracted the at
tenton OF the health authorities who after a
thorough examination OF the AFFLICTED localities.
nave decided that It was caused by imperfect
drainage. 1t was discovered that the sewers
olo not carry on the drainage; but whenever a
hlgh tide set back. the dampness penetrated all
the cellars OF the houses. There are localitte,
IN Washington where the sewerage is so derec-
tive that cellars are filled with dampness and
even water. II the New York health authorities
are right In their opinion as to the origin OF the
oiphtheria, no time should be wasted In Inn
proving the drainage where it Is defective here.
