Presidents Absent.

Fifty years ago, before we had tele

few and slowly carried, when the of:
ficer in Philadelphia was farther from
Washington communication than he
would be now in San Francisco OF
Japan, there might have been reason
to complain that the President was
absent from his post. But no one

Confederate Bonds.

The speculation by EngHshmen in
Confederate bonds is said to be due
to knowledge that the Interest cOu-
pons for July, 1865, must be paid out
of eleven millions of money deposited
by the Confederate government in
| English, Dutch, French and Belgian
/ banks.
\ banker, who pretends TO know
the secret of the Confederate bond
movement in Europe, says that it is
this. The reports Of Treasury
agents Of the United States some
time after the close of the rebellion
showed that there was deposited in
the bank of England, and in banks of
France, Holland and Belgium, money
aggregating SI1, 100000 belonging to
the Confederate government, the pro-
ceeds of the sale of cotton. This
money was pledged to pay the inter
est on the confederate loan. The
January interest of 1865 was paid,
and money was set apart to pay the
coupons for the July interest when
the rebellion collapsed. The Europe
an syndicate of bankers is seeking to
obtain all the Confederate bonds for
the purpose only of collecting the
July, 1865, coupons, with the accu-
INFLATED interest resulting from non
payment. The talk about trying to
boycott the Southern States, or to
collect the principal of the bonds or
/ any interest COT 'ens after that month,
! July, 1863, is nonsense hut this syn
dictate has good legal advice that the
! money set apart for a specific pur-
pose. namely, the payment of the
July coupons, must be paid on the
presentation of that coupon, and if
you will enquire YOU will observe that
all the orders to brokers to purchase
the Confederate bonds specify that
they must contain the July coupons
and must not be mutilated. A bond
presented without the July coupon
would not be purchased, and that is
all there is in the Confederate bond
story. The European syndicate in
tend to secure, if it can, these eleven
millions OF dollars, money, to the
credit of the Confederate State gov
eminent in European banks, and it
proposes to do this in the only way
that it possibly can, If it can do it in
that way, by presenting these coupons
for payment. If the syndicate does
not succeed, the European banks will
be eleven million dollars ahead, as
there is no doubt that that amount Of
cash to the credit of the Confederate
States is deposited there. 1t is fact
that the report presented to the Treas
ury Department some time after the
war as to the Confederate assets IN
Europe contained the item Of eleven
millions cash"

VETMONT's LEADING MAN. - The
home Of Senator Edmunds in Burling
ton is 4 spacious oId-fashioned man
sion which has recently been remodeled
and reruraished inside. The Edmunds
estate lies on a gentle slope running
back to the college grounds, the blue
waters Of Lake Champlain and the
towering Adirondacks forming 4 pic
turesque foreground to the westward.
The senator is thoroughly Democratic
in everything bus his politics. He
NAV be seen daily driving his own
family carriage about the streets. He
is neat and plain in his dress. To
those unacquaiuted with him, he APP
ais cold al = ant, but his intimate
friends know him to be social and pos
scssed of pleasantly and anecdotes.
He has probably as remunerative q
legal practice as any lawyer, with one
or two exceptions, in the country. In
argument he is dry, technical and lOgi-
cal. His political speeches are argu-
incentive. and each sentence is an
incisive thrust into the side of the
Democracy. From the time that
George F. Edmunds left the district
school in his native town Of Richmond.
he has been aggressive in his prOies,
sion and a successful practitioner. His
fame as an able lawyer had been wei
established some years prior to his
appointment, in 1866, as the successor
to Senator Foote. He had at that
time been established q number oil
years in the law business in Burling-
ton. His successive reflections tC
the Senate followed naturally. He is
now in his 10Th year.-B2stoa Herald.

The inference Of the Coroner's jury

track, must have been negIigently
secured, will find general acceptance.
The disaster was no doubt a very I'M
usual one, yet the part played by
gales in the years catastrophes is too
great ever to be ignored. Danger
from a hurricane, which can blow a
