Editor Morning Ne.oS. Seeing that
BroughtOn street resembles at the pres
ent, and is likely to do so for some time
longer, plowed field more than a city
thOrOughfare, and that it will be impossi-
BILE for any troops other than perhaps the
Zouave regiments, whose tactics admit
of leaps when the nature of the ground
to be traversed requires them-and in
view OF the fact that the Chatham ArtIi-
lery, to whose exclusive use the whole Of
next week is to be devoted, could no
more move their battery down the afore-
said street, than they could over the tops
of the houses in said street, and as hurdle
racing has been completely left out of the
tactics, if not absolutely prohibit
ted, and seeing that it would be
an utter impOssibility to march
with military regularity down BroughtOn
either in single or double file, in files of
fOurs, by sections, platoOns or companies,
either at carry, ight-shoulder-shiit, or
trail, or, in short. in any other way than
EARNS at will" or in other step than
''route STEP" ii even that could be kept
seeing, / say, all these impediments to
soldierly marching and sOlcierly bearing.
L have a suggestion 10 offer, namely:
Let the line of march be down Congress
instead of BroughtOn, the former being
Lub ODtN btAEOb HI buC Clbl,
for which there might be many reasons
given besides those mentioned above.
First. l believe Congress street has
larger proportion of Chatham Artillery
members than any other business street
in the city.
Second. The general appearance Of the
stores and business houses is more uni
form and permanent, no commercial pal
aces on one block with novels on the next,
Of hnc
houses. which, if rather antlquated, at
any rate look solid.
Third. IL is HObson's choice. For,
either the procession must be abandoned,
Gas whatever the cavalry may be able to
do, the infantry and artillery cannot
steeplechase with anything like military
decOrum }, or, it must take Congress and
Bay instead OF much-atilicted Broughton.
Still, don't wish to be "hoggish." III
tell you how it might be done. With
little lengthening and fixing, those street
barriers OF Mr.. Schar's might be trans
formed INTO tirst-rate hurd es, and If the
triumnAal were lowered a very little, sew
eral OF The Georgia Hussars could take il
at a Nv, and capital steeplechase might
be inaugurated.
To keep the game alive the north side
of Brougnton, which is by far the best
Uttered half OF this beautiful thorough
fare, might be given TO the Zouaves for
Their unique drill. They could find eX-
cellent exercise for their feline tactics in
leaping from one railroad tie to another,
and give specimens Of fancy firing, ira
peZe fashion. from the electric lamps
strung so charitably over the chaos in the
road beneath. After all, fear, BToughton
with such q show would have all OF the
real fun and most OF the crowd.
But, "revenOns nos mOutOns," give
Congress the military procession, and the
feet OF our visiting s0ldiery will bless our
city, instead OF cursing, "a they inevita-
big Will do, il 1t is attempted to march
down Broughto in the tOrn-up condition
il now is. Nj. &.

A BUNCo MAN FOOLED.
Failure of a Scheme TO Victimize COun
Leyden, of Germany.

Fallure or u Scheme to ViCttmize Count
Leyden, of Germany.
w WASHINGTON, April pa story is told
OF an attempt to victimize Count Leyden,
of the German legation, who has Just re-
turned to Europe. While he was in New
York young man succeeded in convinc-
ing the Count that he was the son of Sec
rotary Bayard, and was treated with con-
siderable courtesy by the diplomat, who
has a high regard for the Secretary Of
State. In the course of a walk the two
vent into what appeared to be brokers'
office, and while the Count remained in
the main apartment the supposed Mr..
BaYard went into an inner room.
Presently he came out apparently much
distressed and told the Count that he had
been guilty of an indiscretion and must
pay $3.50 at once or 90 to prison. He
begged the Count to let him have the
money and take q draft on his father,
which he would assist him in cashing at
neighbOring bank. The Count said he had
not that much money about him. Young
Bayard then retired into the inner office
and shortly returned with the story that
he could get an extension of time If be
would make deposit of $50. BY this
time the Count had begun to suspect the
bunco game and be fatty refused to give
the young man a cent and lett the Office.
His first impulse was to telegraph the
State Department to see il Mr.. Bayard had
a son answering the description of the
young man who had ingratiated himself
into his feelings, but finally came to the
conclusion that the alleged young Bayard
was fraud and a swIndler.

Idle Money in the Treasury.

Editor LIGHT:
The surplus Of money now lying idle
and unproductive in the United States
treasury, were 1t thrown into circula-
tion among the people, would go long
way towards relieving the p esent de-
preston of prices and stagnation ofbusi-
ness. There are now one hundred mil
lions Of dollars lying in the treasury,
which are not needed to pay the ex-
penses or debts Of the federal govern
ment. The day when 1t was necessary
for governments to accumulate immense
sums Of money as provision for war
has long since gone by.
The bother is how to Contrive to get
this surplus into circulation. The Blair
educational bill would eventually put il
in circulation, but only after the lapse Of
several years. And were this surplus
expended in the improvements OF the
coast defences of the Union, several
years would elapse before IL could enter
into general circulation. The question
is beset with difficulties; yet congress Is
bound to adopt some plan for getting rid
of this useless and unprOductive sur
plus, in such : way as will be most
largely beneficial to the people OF the
entire Union. | have no pet sceeme to
propose. But, in my judgment, this sur
plus should be Used In improving the
coast deiences of the country.
