PETER COOPER has written a letter TO MIR.
Gladstone, in which he recalls the fact that
"a few men of sound judgment proposed
20 years ago that the United States Govern
ment should free the Southern slaves by pur-
chasing them at their 'highest estimated
cost" in the aggregate $4,000, 600, 900. The
advice was not taken, and 10000 lives
and S., 600, 600, 900 were sunk in war, lcav-
ing debt of 100000 900 still unpaid.
"Will not the policy of coercion" says Mr..
Cooper, ''cost the people of Great Britain
more than it would to purchase and sell the
Irish lands to the tenants at such rates as
they could afford TO pay for them?'
The question of reputation is now
brought squarcly before the Legislature al
Minnesota Mr.. Selah Chamberlain OF Clcve-
land is the unfortunate owner of its bonds l."
thepar value of Il million Of dollars, on which
there is double that amount of accrued inter-
est He offers TO deposit these bonds with
the Auditor Of the State, 10 he held by that
officer until the question of the validity Of
the bonds is decided by the Supreme Court
of the State. Ii THAT tribunal holds the bonds
to be invalid, the Auditor is authorized 10
destroy them. If, on the other hand, the
bonds are held TO be the evidence Of a just
claim upon the State, he agrees 10 accept
one-half of what is decided to he due on
them. in final discharge of them, in new six
per cent thirty-year bonds. The proposition
is certainly an unprecedented one; but that
the great, growing and prosperous State of
Minnesota should render it necessary is IA
scandal 10 the country.

Senator Ednunds certainly expressed the
sentiment of the average American when
he said in the course Of the debate over the
bill providing for the sending Of 4 vessel in
search Of the missing Arctic exploring steam
er, the Jeanne,te, that he could see no good
results from the war of civilized nations up
on the North pole. 1t was, he said, losing
warfare on every cccasinn-losing in all re-
spects-and that qlantum which is gained
for science is entirely outweighcd by the suf-
fering and loss Of life and property (it loss

Is the Senate, Friday, Mr. Pendleton for
the select committee 10 which the subject
had been referred, reported bill, which
provides that the Secretary of State, the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War,
the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of
the Interior. the Attorney General and the
Unconstitutional shall be entitled to seats
In both branches Of Congress, with the right
to participate in debate on matters relating
TO the business of their respective depart
ments under such rules as the Senate and
House may respectively prescribe; the at
tendance Of the officers named being conf
pulsory al the opening of the sittings in each
branch of Congress on two days in each week
to give information previously called for by
resolution. The committee believe that
such law would in no way conflict with
the Constitution, for the officers thus given
seats in either House would be no more
members Of the body than territorial dele
gates, contcsiing members or other persons
who are allowed to address the body and
they have no fear that the law would aug
way change the legal relations Of heads OF
departments to Congress, while it would
facilitate the transaction of public business
The report is signed 10y Senators Pendleton,
