• • Wlieti the Public Debt Should be
Pold.»
on account of “111 health,” O. P. Mohton appear* In the Journal In a column or two upon the public finance*. From the mae* of verbiage upon the subject, we extract tho following from hi* pronunclamentn: • It is now proposed by Democratic polltlctaiia that the Government shall at once p »j oif In greenbacks all the bonds which it has a right to redrem, and shall continue to do so from year to year, as the right to redeem shall accrue, until tho whole is paid, which would thus bo done In seven years; and the more violent are Insisting on the Immediate discharge of the whole debt by compelling our creditors to take an equal amount of greenbacks to be Issued for that purpose. ••The latter proposition would require the Immediate Issue of more than two billions oi greenbacks, and tho former the Issue of a like sura within seven years, and cither would be clearly fatal to the credit and prosperity of the country.” The Senator thus sums up tho public indebtedness: "The total debt on the first of the present month, lets the amount of cash in the Treasutv, was $2,492,"MU,:H»5, and includes KI4 of greenbacks or legal tender note*, and $ , 2!i,JK»2.V72 In fractional currency. The total bonded debt, at the same time, including old bond*. Issued before 1S01, was 4>l,7a2,«WI^
::iO 4M.”
The treasury report shows that the revenues collected In IMOU amounted to $.V>0,000,0;'0. Previous to the advent of the Republican administration the total annual expenditures of the General Government were about $77,000,OW. Owing to the necessities arising from tic war, we will estimate tho necessary current annual expenditures of tho Government to be about double that amount, say $lo0,000,0g0. I he bonded debt is about $1,700,000,000. Deduct from this the national bank note circulation, whic h could be used, if ** ■ 10 treasury to retire an equal amount of bonds, and it would leave the interest pajing indebtedness about fourteen hundred millions. The interest upon that sum at six p< r cent, will amount to eighty-lour millions annually. Tills amount added to our estimate for the current expenses of tho Government, under an economical administration, would make llie total yearly expensies 'about two hundred „nd thirty four millions. Deduct this amount from the revenues of iSWi, and it would leave about three hundred millions to bo applied annually to tho liquidation of tho public indebtedness. Without changing the character of the public indebtedness, the figures we have given show that under a sagacious and economical administration of tho finances, if the present revenues should be maintained, the bonded debt of the Government eemld l>e wiped out In less than five years, lint if the whole debt should be paid in greenbacks at once, and tho interest stopped, provided tho revenues of the Government for IStiO are maintained, the current expenditures brought down to a sum double to what they were In l.'iOO and tho bonded debt reduced by the issue of greenbacks to an amount equal to the national bank currency, the whole amount of the indebtedness thus converted would be absorbed by the revenues in about throe and a half years. This is what can be accomplished by a sagacious management of the public finances. . On tho other ham!, if the present system is continued, accompanied by the extravagance and corruption which has characterized the administration of the Government under Republican rule,the public indebtedness wilt be paid In interest in from twelve to fourteen years without any diminution of the principal or the grinding taxation to which tho country is now subject. Senator MOKTON is opposed to tho immediate payment of the bonded debt in greenbacks, because, ns he states it, the issue of that amount of currency would be fatal to tho credit and prosperity of the country. If wo arc not mistaken, an amount equal to tho present bonded indebtedness was issued during tho war, and when tho prospect of its ultimate payment was, to say the least, somewhat doubtful, without any fatal effects “ to tho credit and prosperity of the country.” In fact, and it Is a fact within the recollection of nil, the country was exceedingly prosperous under tho immense inllution of tho currency during the war times, and if tho bonded debt was paid at cm-c in greenbacks, the currency would not be in excess of what it wa» during the progress of the war. And there would lie a vast difference between the character of tho greenback currency then and now. The vicissitudes and uncertainties of the war made the value of the currency exceedingly doubtful, but the certainty of its redemption under the present circumstances of the country, and at no distant day, would prevent its depredation to any great extent, and certainly not to the extent that it was- when tho debt was coated. The question for the people to determine is whether the present enormous indebtedness •ball remain an incubus, a mortgage upon the Industry and prosperity of the country, under the proposed radical management of the finances, or whether that weight upon enterprise, industry and prosperity shall he removed by paying the bondholders in the currency they gave lor their bonds. And it aeems to us that not much arithmetic or common sense arc necessary to solve the problem. Bondholders and bondholders’ representative* like 0.1’. Morton may argue otherwise, but It Is only to fasten a burden upon the people that they may live in idleness and case off the labor, the productive Industry, of the country. t’if'The chronic diarrhea with which tho heavy editor of the Journal diurnaily bespatters the President of tho I’nited States is growing thinner and thinner. In hia leader of yesterday the drivelier-tn-ebief hints at the possibility of another rebellion. If another war for the perpetuation of radical rule could be inaugurated, and If, as In the late war, honest men could lie induced to do the lighting while contractors, money lenders and stay-at-home brawlers remained in tho rear to do tho stealing, It might possibly meet with favor from the leading spirits of the Republican parly. But they know that the eountry can not be duped again, and that If there 1* any fighting to do, they will have to do it.* Hence, as Prof. Hoss would say. nobody Is frightened at the Journal’s rawbead.

which is the admitted debt of the Govern- . -

Buttakeit at the lowest estlma** Take it three thousand million* of dollar*, then it stands thus: Twen*r-two hundred millions of It, In round natnbers, are Interest hearing bonds, and interest Is payable In gold. Between tb'eo end four hundred millions are in g^enbacks, that pay no interest. And now me question is, whether it would be right and proper, just to the bondholders and gooN policy of the country, to pay this bonded debt which now bears gold interest; to pay It In greenbacks which bear no interest at all, and stop this drain upon the people of one hundred and seventy millions of Interest each year,which they now pay, counting it at paper
prices.
The llrst thing to Inquire is, would that be a violation of tbe good faith of the nation? Would it lio a vlolatian of tbe promise cf the Government—would It be contrary to law. II it would, whj then,honest people of the country will not entertain the thought. Sa that it becomes material to know at once what la the law under which these bonds were Issued. You may examine your statute book from the time the llrst bond was Issued down to this day and you can’t And a single line In them that promises the holder of the live-twenty bonds that his principal shall be paid In gold. It is only the ten-forty bonds, the principal of which the law declares shall be paid In gold, both principal and interest in gold. As to all the rest of the bonded debt of the country, it Is left by tho law, as well as by the terms of the bonds themselves, to be paid In whatever is the legal tender of the country. If any man doubts it ho can see it In one (ingle Instant, if he happens to have the good fortune to own a greenback, [Laughter.] I hsvn’t got many of them, bull think I’ve got one, I think 1 have enough to prove the truth of what

“This note is a legal tender for all debts,
public and private, except duties on Imports
and the interest on the public debt.” That’s It. Tho very greenbacks with which
they pnld for these bonds taaght them—not on their faces, but on their backs—that these same bonds, tbe public debt, could bo paid in that same kind of fodder [laughter]—that wherewith they fed Uncle isam, therewith might they afterwards be fed themselves. I say, then, there is no illegality In it; and if there no illegality In it, there is no Injustice iu it. But if we look at it ia any other light, apart from law, where Is the injustice? What claim have these men, who bought tbe bonds when gold was between two and three hundred per cent.—when It was worth from two to three times as much as paper—who bought them with paper—what right have they to say now that tucso bonds which they bought at forty, or less, per cent. In gold—what right have they to ask lor payment of one hundred
per cent. In gold?
Again, what right bavo they to say that, while tho Government pays the wounded soldier his pension or his bounty, or pays to his widower mother her pension or bounty in greenback currency, tbe man who bought a bond at thirty or forty cents on the dollar
shall be paid a full dollar in gold?
You see, then, there Is no Injustice or illegality tn paying these bonds, the ten-forties excepted, In tbe legal currency of the country. And then conics the question whether or not It is policy to pay them in that way. The lirst general observation to be made is that it Is not policy In any country to have two currencies, if you can avoid it, one of them a much worsecurrency than the other. Congress has forced greenbacks upon the people as currency, and It can hardly be said to be a good policy to have one currency for tbe people and a better currency for the bondholder—rags for tbe people and gold for the public creditor. That doesn’t look much like good policy. [Applause. 1 I say, then, if you will look this subject fairly in the face, you will find It all resolves Itselt Into a question of public policyhow can this debt be paid in greenbacks without too sudden or too great an Inflation of the currency, that would unsettle all business and all values In the country? That Is the problem. It would take me too long to show hovf that might be done without producing such Inflation as would be ;destructlve of the business interests of tbe country. Suffice It to say, that those who are competent to Judge of this matter, who have investigated It thoroughly, some among them the best statesmen and most enlightened bankers In the country, have conic to the conclusion that the debt can be paid off in greenbacks without any such dangers of sudden Inflation of tho currency as would injuriously unsettle values or disturb
prices.
If that can bo done, I ask, is there a man here not interested in bonds who will say that wo ought to pay gold when we only promised paper, or to pay a hundred and seventy million dollars every year In Interest, for the Lord only knows bow long a time to come; or that we should not take this other way by which oven the oldest man In this audience may live to sec the bonded debt paid off, without repudiation and without dishonor? Now, from the llrst, I have always looked with great caution upon this subject. I feared tbe idea of such a sudden Inflation of currency as would unsettle valtfee and disturb business. Therefore, it was not until after I had given this subject my most patient consideration, and read ait that I could gather upon it on both aides of tho question, that 1 became convinced that without any great In.lury to values or to the business Interests of the country, and with immense benefit to the country and the people, this debt can be honorably c.iui justly paid off In this way. ... in—I ■ From tne Louisville Democrat.

Mrs. Burns resides on Center street, between Green and Walnut, with her only daughter, Lucy, a sprightly girl, aged Ova years. The family are poor, but, beyond their poverty, they are guilty of no other offense. For seme time a negro man, by the natneof J.M.Thomas, has been doing various little things for Mrs. Burns, nntll he succeeded in ingratiating himself into her favor.

dead and the President Is nobody.” Under this head it pains me to Inetude some
really original Union men, who, failine: to be recognized by the people as the only fit persons to have office after tbe surrender, became soured, and, with a desperate petulance,abandoned the conservative principles of their lives
and rushed Into radicalism.
8. Timid fifen—We have among, us some well meaning men. They want peace. So, Heaven knows, do all of us. Peace!—it is a sweet word. Some of our people so long for peace that they will run after anybody who cries peace, like tbe hungry sheep who run after the man who shakes a bundle of fodder, never thinking, poor creatures, they are being led to a shearing house ora slaughter pen. So. some are alarmed with the Idea of eonli-cation and further disfranchisement. " We rnu-t take tho best we can get,” they say. “It is no ihc to talk about tbe constitution. r l he radicals are too mean to regard that. They don’t care for tbelr oaths. They don’t care for the Union. They don’t mind Johnson. They say if we don’t take these military bills they will put on us something worse, and they are mean enough to do it, and the Northern people don’t seem to care. They will take our lands and everything else. We had better go with them and keep them from ruining us.” Such are the arguments we hear ever/ day In favor of the military
bills.
I have heard of many reasons whv different parties should be supported; but the radical party can monopolize this one, urged by its own supporters. It disregards the Constitution, tramples on oaths, robs tbe people, and will do worse things if it Is kept In power. 4. Policy Men —These are of various kinds. Some say it is policy to give suffrage to the ucgros because the Southern whites can control their votes and disappoint the radicals. Seme say we can seem to go with the radicals until we get into the Union and then we can do as we please. Others say In accepting the military bills we can get control of the convention with the right kind of men, and form a constitution to suit us, or, if we must form one to suit the radicals, we can afterward change it again. Alt these policy men feel Insulted if you call them radicals They excitedly swear they are not radical*: they are only geing to trick (be radicals. They are going to beat the radicals at their own gameef deception. They Mho insist that tho Constitution “le a gheet”— the Government Is gone—that the rad leal party is the only exuding government, and we can do more by feeding it than fighting it. They frequently whisper, tn confidence, “These military men, from Grant down.know nothing about law or constitution. As for Pope, everybody knows he is a fool, and It is no trouble to manage him: and as tor the radical party, they care nothing for the negro. All they want Is to elect their President in IMOM and to hold the offices. Let us help them do that, and they will remove all our disabilities, and let us fix our State governments just
as we please.”
I-et Vs Have Plump Women. Education is not the most important object of a woman’s life, nor a man’s life. The importance of Intellectual culture is being exaggerated in regard to female education. It may be one of woman's rights to receive us liberal culture as a young man receives. It is not one of her rights to receive it at the expense of her physical health. Women owe it to their husbands and to their country, as well as to themselves, to keep their bodies in beaRh and strength—robust, rosy and plump, as nature intended them to be. When a woman Is not plump it is generally because she works too hard in one way or another. Sometimes it is the husband’s fault, who may be exacting and hard to please; oftener it is because she makes herself a slave to her children; still oftener she must attribute the protuberance of the clavicle and scapula to a lack of early exercise, undue strain upon the mental energies, too much Latin and French and mathematics. The idea of giving women the same education as we give men, is perfectly absurd; as well talk of compelling the arti*t to study law, the doctor to study Hebrew theology, or the young minister to spend three
years learning to set type.
We defy any one who supports the present svstem of forced and unnatural female education to show a single advantage which will offset the hollow cheeks, and the pale faces, and the frail forms of the gills who “graduated from some of our “advanced” schools. What bave women as a class to do with Latin and Greek, and the abstract sciences? They forget them before they bave passed their first season in society; and they have reason to thank tbelr lucky brains for the oblivion. Just at the present moment when men are beginning to see tho absurdity of so much abstraction and useless dead weight in general education. Mothers and teachers who are in the conspiracy are beginning to force our girls through what the other sex has been the folly of. People sneer at accomplishments as If ihcy were unworthy ef a young girl's attention compared with aclenc* and Latin. Give a girl, say we, a good sound English education, and then teaeh her the accomplishments which will be a pleasure to her in after life, and a blessing to her family. Accomplishments are worth more to a woman than deep learning. So they are to the majority of men; but par-
ticularly so to tte other sex.
Men may inter at accomplishments when they have learned to sneer at the line arts, at painting, music, sculpture, but not till then. When Rachael Mendellsohn, and Canova, are forgotten we may regard tbe dellcat lea of fe-
male education with contempt.
But whatever education our girls are subjected to, let us bave less of it. American girls are notorious for their pallor frailty, and tendency to wither and lose tbelr charms, at an early age. This country has no greater want at the present time than that of plump girls
