DECATUR, I3NTD., FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1868.

From the Louisville Courier. ThePaymentoftlie Bonds In Greenbacks—A Radical “Case in Point.” A great public question was elucidated in a striking manner the other day during the progress of a private conversation. The details of a transaction then alluded to, are stated below with strict accuracy, and the transaction itself illustrates the copnection between the government tind a large class of its creditors. > A glass manufacturer Ifcom Pettsburg was a few days since in the counting-room of a Louis ville house, with which he has done a large business for twenty years past. In a conversation with his old friend, the Louisville merchant, he remarked that he was not pleased with the nomination of Grant, and would not support him unless Pendleton should be the opposing candidate. “In that case,” said he, “I shall vote for Grant, because I contributed to the support of the Government in the' hour of its distress, and Mr. Pendleton would compel me to accept greenbacks for the bonds which I hold. That would be repudiation.” “I remember that investment of yours,” said the Louisville merchant. “You sold 310,000 in gold at 282 in 1864, and bought gold bearing United States bonds, for which you paid 94 in greenbacks.” “Exactly so,” said tho Pittsburg gentleman. “Then," said his friend, “you exchanged j’our 810,000 in gold for 828,200 in greenbacks, and these you exchanged for 30,000 in United States bonds. On these bonds the Government has annually paid you an interest of 81,000 in gold, which is 18 per cent, per annum on the sum invested in Government securities. Your interest in four years has returned .into your pockets 7,200 of your 10,000 gold dollars, and you claim that the Government owes you 830,000 more in gold ! li in four years you receive 837,200 in return for 810,000 your patriotism will be well rewarded indeed. “I am not responsible for the bad management of the Government.” said the Pittsburg gentleman. “I was financiering for myself, and not for the Government, and I only ask to keep its engagement as I keep mine.” “But while you were financiering for yourself,” said his friend, “you should have observed the striking facts that while the bonds promised gold for the interest, they did not specify the money in which the principal was to be paid. Moreover, the greenbacks with which you bought those bonds bear this legend: “This note is a legal tender for all debts, public and private except duties on imports and the interest Os the public debt.” “Every one of those notes which has passed through your hands before you bought the bonds, and since, has been a notice served on you by the Government that the principal of your bonds is payable in greenbacks. Accordingly, you see the Government paying its other debts in greenbacks. So it paid the soldier for enduring toils, and braving dangers. Even tho pitiful pension of the disabled private is paid in greenbacks; and the widow is paid in greenbacks ! for the lost labor of the husband, who lies mouldering in a soldier’s grave. What have you done that the Government shall make an exception in your favor t” “1 hold its bonds, "replied the glass manufacturer, “and though the bonds may fail to specify anything of tl:c sort, yet there is an implied obligation, whenever a government issues such bonds that the principal shall be paid in gold.” “But,” rejoined the merchant, “that implied obligation is directly negatived by the inscription on the greenbacks, and negatived also by the. wording of the bonds, which carefully specifics gold for the in; terest and carefully omits any specification as to how the principal is to be paid; thus leaving that point optional with the Goverment Moreover, the greenbacks themselves are notes, bonds, 'promises to pay,’ which the Government is as much obligated to pay in coin as any other description of. bonds whatever. Iftho Govern-; meut substitutes its greenbacks i notes for its Ixmds in your possession, you hold against it as valid an obligation nssyou hold before, and have no right whatever to cry ‘repudiation.* “The Government will be able ]to redeem the greenbacks in coin las soon as it will Im? able to pay I your bonds in coic Its necessities 1

compel it to give its creditors promises instead of pay. It is for you why it, should give you in-terest-bearing notes and compel its other creditors to accept notes which draw no interest It is for you to show why the people shall be taxed to pay interest on what the Government owes you, while they get no interest on the notes which they hold against the Government. In what respect is your claim more just or sacred than theirs ? “Now, suppose the Government takes your bonds at their face and pays you 830,000 in greenbacks. You can exchange that sum for 821,400 in gold. You will then receive more than double the sum you investe’d four years ago, and upon which the Government has paid you usury at the rate of 18 per cent, per annum ! My friend, you have no good reason for calling this ‘repudiation.’ When so liberal a settlement is proposed you have no right to demand that 86,000 more gold than is ‘nominated in the bond’ shall be wrung from the labor of the country for your private emolument. As a just business man you would not set up such a claim against a private individual and you could not legally collect it. The obligation of your bonds as you construe it against the public would convert them and the Government itself into instruments of extortion and inordinate oppression. “This implied obligation with which you propose to piece out the actual obligation of the Government, applies with far more force and justice to the claims to to soldiers who rendered personal service and devoted their lives to the public defense. But you and the party with which you act do not call it repudiation to pay them in greenbacks for the blood they shed and the limbs they lost. You prefer tbe least meritorious class of public creditors; and for those who have already grown rich off the necessities of the Government you demand an exorbitant additional gold premium. The scant wages and rewards of the poor, who have bled and suffered for it, you would pay in greenbacks !” As he listened to this argument in favor of what he had termed “repudiation” the Pittsburg gentleman bethought him that for twenty years he had known the good old merchant to be a man who would part with his last cent and coin his body to pay his bond. He mused a moment with the air of a man who hears something which he must ponder more at leisure ; and then he changed the conversation. How we arc Robbed, The New York Evening Post, good Republican authority, says: “We have now an unintelligible jumble of tax laws, understood by nobod}’: orignally bad, it has been patched up at eech successive session of Congress, until everj’ improvement in its principle has become a new difficulty in its administration, by introducing confusion ,ftnd inconsistency into the system. The interpretation of it by the decisions and instructions of the commissioners has been vacillating ; very much of it is deemed by lawyers to be unsound; And it is quite doubtful what portions of it have been unsettled by rulling of | various courts. Aud tho administration of the whole is corrupt frogj the Atlantic to the Pacific, so that spies and thieves, the waste of collection and the needless burden of commissions and profits, increasing the necessary burden of the taxes take from the people together twice the money that reaches the treasury. ■ ■ ——— Tongue.—Women are loqua cious by nature. Men are realy so. Few men ever distinguish themselves iu the company of ladies by their conversational power; but they often do by- the lack of it Physiologists have tried to account for the activity of the female tongue over that of the male, by its construction and hang; but this is a fancy theory. Women begin early and practice often, and any man who expects to surpass them must begin earlier and practice oftener. - Dark Hours.—To every man ' there are many, many dark hours when he feels inclined to abandon f his best enterprise; hours when his heart's dearest hopes appear delu- ' sive"; hours when he feels unequal to the burden; when all his aspirations seem worthless. Let no ' one think that he alone has; dark hours. They are the common lot to humanity; they ire the tonchI stone to try whether we are current coin or not.

Amnesty Proclamation. Washiseton, July 3. BY THE PRESIDENT or THE UNITED STATES. A Proclamation. TFAereas, In the month of July, Anno Domini 1861, in accepting the condition of civil war which was brought about by insurrection and rebellion in several of the states which constitute the United States, the two houses of congress did solemnly declare that the. war was not waged on the part of the government in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor for any purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or the established institutions of the states, but only to defend and maintain the supremacy of the constitution of the United States, and to preserve the union with all dignity, equality, and rights of the several states unimpaired; and that, as soon as these objects sho’d be accomplished, the war, on the part of the government, should cease; and, IFAcreas, The President of the United States has heretofore, in the spirit of that declaration, and with the view of securing for it ultimate and complete effect, set forth several proclamations, offering amnesty and pardon to persons who had been and were concerned in the aforenamed rebellion, which ■ proclamations, however, were attended with prudential reservations and exceptions,..then deemed necessary and proper, and which proclamation were respectively issued on the Bth day of December, 1863 ; on the 26th day of March, 1864; on the 29th day of May, 1865, and on the 7th day of September, 1867; and, Whereas, The said lamentable civil war has long since altogether closed, with an acknowledgment by all the states of the supremacy of the federal constitution and of the government thereunder, and there no loger exists any reasonable ground to apprehend a renewal of said civil war, or any foreign interference, or any unlawful resistance by any portion of the people of any of the states to the constitution aud laws of the United States; and, crcas, It is desirable to reduce tho standing army, and to bring to a speedy termination military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, abridgment of the freedom of speech and of the press suspension of the privilege of the habeas corpus, and of the right of trial by jury,—such encroachments upon our free institutions, in time of peace, being dangerous to public liberty, incompatible with the individual rights of citizens, contrary to tho genius and spirit of our republican form of government, and exhaustive of the national resourses; and, WTier’eax, It is believed that amnesty and pardon will tend to secure a complete and universal establishment and prevalence of municipal law and order, in conformity with the constitution of the United states, and to remove all appearances and presumptions of a retaliatory or vindicative policy on the part of the government attended by unnecessary disqualifications, and disfranchisements; and, on the contrary, to promote and procure complete fraternal reconciliation among the whole people, with due submission to the constitution and laws fCotc,therefore, be it known. That I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do. by . virtue of the constitution, and in the name of the people of the United States, hereby proclaim and . declare, unconditionally and without reservation, to all and to every person who directly or indirectly participated in the late in surrection of rebellion —excepting such persons or persons as may be under presentment or indictment in any court of the United States, having competent jurisdiction, upon a charge of treason, or other felony,-r-a full panion and amnesty for the offence of treason against the United States, or of adhering to their enemies during the late civil war, with the restoration of all rights except as to slaves, and except also as to any property of which any person may have been legally divested under the laws of the United States. In testimony whereof I have signed these presents with my hand, and have caused the seal of the United States to be hereunto i affixed. Done at the city of Washington, the 4th day of July, in the j*ear of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight and of the : independence of the United States >of America*.the ninety third.

How tbc Parson got Excited. The following story is told of Parson P , who a few years a go lived and preached in the town of F ,in this State. He was nervous, near-sighted and excitable : One day he had been to the city with his horse, and among his purchases was a barrel of flour, the head of which was partially out. On the way home the old man was overtaken and passed by a fast young man, driving a horse and putting on much airs.— Now, the Parson’s horse was usually a quiet, steady-going animal enough, but he couldn’t stand that sort of a thing so he started off after him of the first order in good earnest. The jolting of his wagon at length jarred the head completely off the barrel and the strong wind that was blowing directly after the Parson blew all the flour over him and his horse. At last the fast young man was left, and the village reached ; but the speed of his horse was not checked. In driving through a street to reach his house he came in contact with one of his deacons, who was naturally supprised to see the minister driving at such a pace, and signalled him to stop. “Why Parson P ,” said he, “what on earth is the matter ?— You seem greatly excited.” “Excited !” yelled the old man, “excited ! Who in h—l wouldn't be excited ? Snow storm in July. Get up, Dobbin.” The Deacon smiled but was silent. ■ ' The Teeth of a Horse The Rural American says:—At five years of age the horse has forty teeth—twenty-four molars or jaw teeth, twelve incisor or front teeth, and four tusks or canine teeth, between the molars and the incisors, but usually wanting in the mare. At birth only two nippers or middle incisors appear. At one year old, the incisor are all visible on the first or milk set. After this time, indeed, good authorities say that after five years the ago of a horse can only be conjectured. But the teeth gradually change their from, the incisors being round, oval, and then triangular. Dealers somestimes bishop the teeth of old horses; that is, scoup them out to imitate the mark ; but this can be known by the absence of the white edge of enamel which always surrounds the real mark, by the shape of the teeth and other marks of age about the animal. Walking.-y Walking is both use ful aud natural. There are some walks, however, of which people are capable, and sometimes guilty which are not best to take. Walking off from the bill of the grocer, tailor, printer, provision dealer, etc., is not good exercise for the character. "Walkingqnto the affections of a lady with none but selfish views in end, is disgraceful. Walking round the Common at five A. m., shows that you foolishly get up a long time gefore breakfast. Going with Webster's quarto in each hand, shows you to be treading heavily on Walker, and a limping style demonstrates you to have a gait that needs repairs.— Walking Spanish does when there is no alternative. Walking with a pretty girl in a flower garden by moonlight in tbe breezes and among tho treeses, is about as pleasant as any. The Poor Boy.—Don’t be ashamed my lad, if you have a patch on your elbow. It is no mark of disgrace. It speaks well for your industrious mother. For our part we would rather see a dozen patches on your jacket than hear one profane word drop from your lipa. Nx» good boy will ahun you because you cannot dress as well as your companions; and if a bad boy some times laugh at your appearance, say nothing, my lad, but walk on. We know now many a nch and good man who was once as poor as you. The manufacturers are funny fellows. Other interests—jobbers, publishers, mechanics, farmers—when their business is bail, quietly “grin and bear it.” But the man- ’ ufacturer, after making perhaps 850.000 a year for ten years, suddenly finds himself making only 110,000. Immediately he seta ‘ up a howl as if the world were morning to an end—holds conventions, starts off delegations to Congress—wants something done not to help evenbody, and he as one of them, but to help him in particular, careless as to what becomes of the rest of mankind

Fogg and William E. Chandler, two leading radicals in New Hampshire, are accusing each other of stealing while holding official positions under the Government. No doubt both tell the truth. -Caleb Cushing is engaged in a most lucrative practice of his profession in Washington. He was sixtyieight years old on the 17th of January last, and is perhaps the freshest and most youthful man of his age in America. -General Rawlings has attempted to explain away Grant’s order agaiust the Hebrews, but he really makes the matter worse. The claim now set up is not that these people were violating the trade regulations, as Grant alleged in his order, butthat they were informers to tbe enemy. Doos this improve the matter any ? -Grant has been presented with some volcanic specimens from the Sandwich Islands. Having himself been sandwiched between negro suffrage and an indorsement of official rascality by the Chicago Convention, the popular volcano , which is to sweep over the country in 1868, will consign him to the chief place in his cabinet of ( fossils. -We must not, in the coming campaign, depend upon the weak--1 ness of the opponents, but upon our own strength and determina- ' tion in defense of a just cause.— Every man who wishes taxation ■ reduced—every man who desires individual and national prosperity —every man who desires an hon- • est discharge of official duties—will support the Democratic cause, -The radicals in and about Jefferson City, Missouri, levied contributions and collected money in 1864 and 1865. with’which to found in that city, a “Lincoln college,” in which colored students were to procure an education. — They started the school in an old shanty, and stole the funds raised for the erection of the building.— That is radical love for the negro. -A.
