A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

TERRE HAUTE, APRIL 28, 1877

P. S. WESTFALL, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

WAR DECLARED.

Although it is admitted OB all sides that war between Russia and Turkey is inevitable the formal declaration of hostilities is jet delayed. This is partly on the ground that the roads are so bad that active military operations would be next to impossible until later in the sea •on, and partly for the reason that Rus sia's preparations are not yet quite com pleted. The declaration of war may however, be expected at any moment.

Since the above was written, a cable dispatch from St, Petersburg brings the announcement of the Czar's formal declaration of war. The manifesto opens with a reference to the strong interest which Russia has felt in the destinies of the oppressed Christians in Turkey and her desire to ameliorate their condition: says that for two years past incessant ef forts have been made in vain to induce the Porte to protect the Christians in Bosnia, Herzegovina and Bulgaria from the oppressions of the local authorities which the Porte had previously engaged with all Europe that he would do that the Porte has steadily refused any effective guarantee for the security of the Christian subjects in those provinces and has rejected the conclusions of the Constantinople conference as well as the protocol drawn up and agreed upon by the various cabinets of Europe. The manifesto proceeds to dcclare that by her obstinacy Turkey has placed Russia under the necessity of having recourse to arms and concludes by giving her ar miesthe order to cross the Turkish frontier. Accordingly the Russiah advance guard of 50,000 men commenced crossing the Pruth on the 24th inst.

In the English House of Lords, when the news of the declaration of war was received, the Earl of Derby said that throughout the negotiations he had found a deep-seated conviction on the part of the porte, that, make what concessions she might, sooner or later war would be forced upon Turkey. He did not pretend to say whether that opinion was right or wreng but believed that to preserve peace was an impossible problem.

There was doubtless a pretty good foundation for the Porte's oonviction and although Russia puts the war on the sole footing of the oppression of the Christians in the provinces above named, it will be hard to persuade intelligent people that her desire for territorial oonquest has not a large share in the matter.

In the German Parliament Gen. Von Moltke has given utterance to ominous words. The question of creating 105 new captancies in the army being under discussion, "Von Moltke said he wished for along peace but did not believe in it on the contrary the time was not far distant when every government would be compelled to strain overy nerve to secure its existenoe. He alluded to the great strides which France has made in her defenses and the large manses of troops which are between Paris and the German frontier. The French Journals were full, ho said, of spite and hatred against Germany. After a protraoted debate the bill was adopted.

It is evident that there is much uneasiness in the cabinets of Europe lest the war may not be confined to the two powers which are now involved. We trust, however, that this fear will prove to be without real foundation.

THK wheat and peach crop pirbspects seem to be unusually promising. From 312 points in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, 175 report the prospect for wheat to be good, and 85 unusually good while as to peaches, 40 report the prospect fair, 86 good, and 10 uncumally good. The reports from the Mississippi and Ohio valleys concerning the condition of winter wheat, show that a larger acreage than usual has been sown in all quarters with fine prospects of abundant harvests* If these predictions are fulfilled It will go a great way towards curing the hard times.

WH have heretofore alluded to the growing export trade in fresh beef between this country and England, but tfce statistics reoently published Show tfce business to be of larger proportions than we had supposed. These figures show that the exports have regularly increased from 36,000 pounds, in October, 1876, to 6,707,855 pounds, In March, of the present year. The value of the beef thus shipped during the past eighteen months, has been upwards of three million dollars.

Bocrrov has contributed another phenomenon to its list of infantile criminals. Saturday, Dudley Kimball, aged only four and a half yean, having got into a quarrel with Stephen Cox, six years of age, went home and procured his father's revolver and shot Cox through the bead, from the effects of which he died in a few hours. This to probably one of the most remarkable instances of youthful crime on record.

MR. KASSOU, of Iowa, the niw Spanish minister, is fifty-Sve years old and a lawyer by profession. He was First Assistant Postmaster General under Liaoeln, in 1861, and subsequently served four terms in Congress. He is a man of ability and sound judgment and is in every way qualified to fill the position to which he has been appointed frith credit to himself and the coaatry.

PBOF. 8. S. JONKS, formerly editor of the Religio Philosophical Journal, but now traveling correspondent of that journal In spirit land—sent there by the bullet of a jealous husband—continues to contribute to its columns each week, The burden of his communications is rather worldly, consisting principally of appeals to subscribers to stand by the paper, which we suppose to mep pay up. That is just like an editor.

ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS has so far recovered from his recent severe illness as to be able to ride out, which he had not been able to do for several months. The past six months have been remarkable for the small number of noted persons who have died and the obituary editors are inconsolable.

Our city comes in for this mention:

And now my face is turned homeward I am bound to Terre Haute— clear across the prairie that I once traversed in early days. Farm, touches farm over these wide expanses which, forty years ago, I thought could never be Inhabited! No coal, no timber—how, except along the streams, could men settle and thrive? Railroads, those dry and solid rivers, have solved the problem.

As yet the prairies do not show much enterprise in timber-planting. A

feyr

trees around tho homesteads, and lines of gaunt poplar and white willow as

windbreaks, one sees but no apparent plantations for future timber. The days of grace are parsing. Now, while large tracts of land are held in ftw bands, the time for planting substantial timber trees. In another generation they will be better than gold mines.

Is this Terre Haute How has thy prosperity increased and thy beauty diminished!

I wandered up and down the streets to find my Terre Haute! It was gone, covered up, lost, utterly} ost in new streets, new buildings! Where istheferiner green Where the quiet fields in bowshot of the town

At any rate I shall know the church. There it was that I first wrought in revivals, and every board and nail in it was precious. ,1 found it. I entered by the basement side-door and stood in the leoture room where I preached my fiist sermon the same day of my arrival in town to aid Rev. Dr. Jewett. It was a t»lemn feeling that stole over me. I saw the audience again. The seats were filled with shadowy listeners! It only needed to see a tew of the ^miliar faoes, L. H. Scott, Dr. Ketcham. Ball. Gookins and others to make it real again! Just then came up the aisle Harry Ross himself It was the touch needed to round out the reminiscence. Only one fact disturbed the sweet illusion. This was not the same church. The old one had been burned, and this one took its place! It was a gentle shockfto my sensibilities. Bat it stood en the very ground, and was on the old foundations and upon the same plan, and looked like the old one, and so I inwardly voted that it the old one and took my comfort of it 1 The city is wonderfully improved in every way except to these sentimentalists whe come hither to renew the past and live over again old experiences.

We had a parlor car and food friends a few, and the pelting rain and black atmosphere made the light and quiet within all the more enjoyable. How different this midnight ride from the first one, thirty-five years before! For three weeks I had labored side by side with Brother Jewett—the first revival in which I had ever taken part! How helpless and wretehe did I feel when Jewett sent for me—then newly fettled in Indianapolis—to come .over and help him! had no effective sermons, did not knew bow to presch in a revival. Yet, my eiders said, Go. I rode two days the lonely road, through beech forests (now all gene,) in a dased and bewildered Mate. Hardly wis my saddle empty before Jewett was at my elbow. Tou have done well to come. You must preach to-night.** In a moment the cloud lifted. The reluctance was gone. It bss been so all mv life. At a distance I dread and brood and shrink from any weighty enterprise but the moment the occasion arrives, joy shines clear, and an .eager appetite to dash into the battle comes.

when events stamp the memory and the heart as the die stamps the ooin! When the time cams to return home did ever heart swell with stronger and more unutterable feeling To go back to the ordinary round of church life from this glowing center seemed so intolerable that my whole nature and all my soul rose up in uncontrollable prayer. Through the beech woods, sometimes crying, sometimes ringing, and always praying, I rode in one long controversy with God. Slay me if thou wilt, but do not send me home to barrenness. Thou shall go with me. I will uot be refused. I not Efirmd of thee! I will prevail or die!"—these and even wilder strains went through the soul.

At length the clouds rolled away. The heavens had never seemed so beautiful ceand assur-

and radiant. An unspeakable peace confidence filled my soul. The as ance of victory was perfect, and tran—in- blossomed into joy at every st/»" it day was one long struggle of prayer. The second day was one long eoBtacy of joy and thanksgiving! I need not say to the wise that the fire of my heart kindled in the church, and for months the genial warmth brought forth a spiritual summer, and flowers and fruits abounded in tht garden of the

Lord!

And now in this three-hour midnight ride, amid outward storms but inward joy and thanksgiving, I recalled the old days, and mingled their light with the gladness of the passing hour. And so we rode into Indianapolis and for the first time in my life I slept in

UNITED STATES BONDS.

WASHINGTON, April 18,1877

There are, perhaps, many readers of The Mail who have not had the opportunity, or the time, to study satisfactorily the character of the national debt as represented by United States bonds. A plain, brief statement may therefore be of interest and now that there is no election pending, no campaign in pro gress, it will not be said that what is written is done for political effect.

The principal classes of bonds are those that are paid in coin. Besides these there are the currency sixes, or Pacific railroad bonds, issued by the Government to aid in the construction of the Pacific railroads. The principal and interest of these bonds are payable in currency, and yet it is somewhat remarkable tbftt they |command tfea highest prlee of any of the Government bonds, and are to-day vorth ten cents more on the dollar than the gold six per cent, bonds. This is accounted for principally by the fact that they are not payable until near the close of the century, or until they have run thirty years and are therefore more desirable as a permanent investment by large _estates and cbrporfctt?ni than tke fMUds ire li^leWbfe i*ll*d. & ftr$»ym.eQt a comparatively short time. There is, ip addition, the faith that Jbefore long currency and coin will be of equal value and intferchatagfeattldj and'that therefore the bopds will boas good as gold in, the one respect, and have the advantage of longer time and a more profitable rate of interest. There are, 1 believe, no other reasons advanced to account for the higher price of the currency bonds.

THE OOLD BONDS.

Are divided into three classes, Bearing six, five, and four and one-half per cent, interest respectively. Of the sixes there are two kinds, the sixes of 1881, and the five-twenties. Of the fives there are two kinds, the ten-fcrtles, and the "new fives," or the bonds of the funded loan of 1881. Of the four and one-half per cents, there is bat one If^nd, issued as the "new: fives" are, uriddr the law ©f 1870 and 1871, providing for the funded loans, and these are called the funded loan of 1891.

To make the matter as plain as may be It will be best to examine first the gfild bonds bearing six per cent, interest in the order of their issue, and then the five per cents. It will not be necessary to refer UKbonds that are all called in, and which have be6n redeemed, excepting small amounts that cannot be found, having been lost or destroyed.

SIXES OF 1881.

The first of these were issued under Ifie act of Februarj 8,1861, in the threatening days that preceded the breaking out of the war. These bonds were made payable December 31, 1880, and are classed with the six per cent bonds that become due in 1881. The whole amount issued, 918,415,000. is still outstanding, and cannot be redeemed until there is Congressional legislation tor that purpose, and the means provided. They are quoted at 112.

The next of the sixes of 1881 are those issued under the acts of July and August, 1861, and are of the same character and value as those preceding. Amount outstanding, in round numbers, |189,« 000,000.

a

The last are those issued under the act of March 3, 1863, and to the ordinary observer, and in the market, are not distinguishable from the other sixes of 1881. The whole amount issued, |75,000000, is outstanding.

THK NVK-TWKSTUCB.

The other six per cent, gold bonds are the five-twenties, so called because thoy are redeemable in five years and payable in twenty. Thoee outstanding and bearing interest were issued under the act of March 3, 1865, and stand in four series—first, the five-twenties of 186f, and the consols of 1885, 1867, and 1868. The five-twenties of 1865 have nearly all been called in for payment. Amount outstanding April 1, $100,000,000. Holders of most of these have been notified that the Government is ready to pay them, and that the interest will cease at various dates up to the first of July

Of the Consols of 1865 there are $292,* 000.000 outstanding consols of 1867, $310,000,000 consols of 1968, $37,500,000. Inasmuch as the date of redemption

Se

iverns the market value, those having longest time to run, the 68**, command the highest price, and tfte prices range from 108 to 113 cents. The word "consols" is an abbreviation of "consolidated as the bonds were intended, as flu- as practicable, to consolidate the public debt as represented by treasury notes and other obligations of like character.

THK JTCVK PXR cuna.

The gold bonds bearing five per cent, interest are the ten-forties, and the bonds of the funded loan of 1SS1. The tenforties, redeemable In ten and payable in forty years, wereissued under the act of March 3, 1864. "there is but one distinctive class or series of ten-forties. The amount outstanding is 1195,000,000. They are quoted at 11L'

The "new fives,** as the other five per cent bonds are usually called, were issued under the sots of July, 1870, and January, 1871, to provide means for refunding the national debt at a lower rate of interest. They have the new and attractive feature of bearing interest that is payable quarterly. Of these bonds there are $508,000,000 outstanding. Market value, 112.

FOUR AND ONE-HALF PER CENTS. The latest issue of Government bonds is the second of the series authorized by the act of 1870 and 1871, which also provides for the fives, and the four per cents, which have yet to be tried. Three hundred millions of the four and enehalf per cent, bonds are to be issued, of whicn one hundred and thirty millions are now out, or subscribed for, and there is every assurance that tbe whole loan will be taken within a year. In fact the indications are that the four per cent bonds provided for can be issued and disposea of at par in gold, thus enabling the Government to call in all of tbe fivetwenties, and prepare for the redemption .0/the sixes of 1881.

THE CURRENCY SIXES.

These bonds were issued under the acts of July, 1862, and July, 1864, for the purpose, as stated, of assisting in tbe construction of the Pacific railroads. Tbe roads aided are the Central Pacific, the Kansas, the Union, the Central Union, the Western, and the Sioux Cit~ In the Treasury statements these bon__ are not classed with those that are known as Government bonds but as they are issued, and the payment of the principal and interest is guaranteed and marie, by the United States, they have all the features and characters of the others. They are issued at the Treasury, signed by the Register, and because they are protected by th and have along time to run, are better than gold. Tbe several railroads assisted are obligated to make re the United &

to

States, and to this end the

issue and delivery of the bonds to the Companies respectively constituted a mortgage on the lines, and telegraphs, together with the rolling stock, fixtures, and property of every description.

The Central Pacific received, in round numbers, 926,000,000, the Union Pacific $27,000,000, the Kansas Pacific, $6,000,000, and the others from one and a half to two millions esch. The total amount outstanding is 164,623,512. The market price is 123 but. few sales are made, as they have got into the hands of those who can hold them, and there they stay. '1 OTHER BONDS.

In addition to the bonds named there are two loans that are still standing among those upon which interest has not been stopped, the loan of 1858, and tbe Oregon war debt. Of the first there are only |260,000, and of the other ?945,900.

PECULIARITIES.

There are several millions of dollars of bonds and other obligations outstanding upon which the interest has been stopped, such ,as tbe five-twenties of of 1862,1864. and 1865, Treasury notes, 'old seven-thirties, compound interest notes, certificates, indemnity stock, and so forth, which are not yet presented for payment. Some of them never will be as they have been lost at sea, burned up in big fires, and otherwise destroyed, the owners of which have not made the ispplication required by law for re-issue. In fact there is a good deal of unaccountable carelessness in presenting over due bonds for payment, and in making applications for interest, of which latter, there is now two millions on hand and due to holders of bonds. An old gentleman the other day came into the cash room of the Treasurer's office to collect gome January interests, when the clerk asked him wny he did not take the interest due a year ago, amounting to fl,250. There was cause for amusement when the bloated bondholder said that he had forgotten it!

United States bonds are of two distinctive descriptions, coupon and registered. The coupon bonds, of course, pass from hand to hand, as bank notes do. They are worth a shade more in the market on account of the facility in handling, but the risk of losing them is jry is very difficult if ible. The Interest is paid on presentation of the proper coupon. The registered bonds on being sold have to be assigned, and then transferred and new bonds procured at the office of the Register of the Treasury. The interest is paid to the party in whose name the bonds are registered. The transfer of registered bonds is at teiifled with much delay, as proof, power of-attorney, and other red tape are alwaysrequired.

'J,'

SPECULATION/

While United States bonds are great features in Wall street operations, tbe prices move too slowly, and furnish too small margins, for active speculators. Most of tbe money realised on bonds was made by those who purchased when the bonds were first issued. The fivetwenties, and especially the ten-forties and Pacifics, were cheap bonds at first, but went up steadily to high premiums. During the past year there has been a material shrinkage in the value of bonds as indicated by the premium, and National Banks and other large holders have lost a good deal of money by it. The decline in prices furnished attractive opportunities for speculation as well 1 a rise, as speculators who do not own dollar will sell a quantity at IIS, for instance, to be delivered within a certain time, and fill the contract with bonds bought at 110.

Some years ago a bank in Northern New York sent the cashier to New York city to buy eighty thousand dollars of Government securities to be deposited in the Treasury Department for circulating notes. The cashier invested the whole amount in Pacifics, tbe currency sixes, at par, and when he got home was censured by tbe Board of Directors who thought he ought to have bought a proportion in other bonds. A lew months

ago

the bank sold the bonds at an advance of twenty-seven cents on the dollar, realising over $20,000. is?'-

A

GOOD RECORD, I

It has been stated, and Is a well known fact, that of all the bonds matured and all issues of notes and currency called in for redemption, since tbe organization of the Treasury Department, there has never been redeemed or presented for payment any more than the books of the Government show to have been properly issued. During a period of eighty years, in which time nearly ten billions of dollars have been printed and distributed, there has never been a dollar of fraudulent over-issue. In truth tbe average of such losses as there are, when compared with the amount of money and bonds handled, is largelv below tbe average of losses incurred in banking. J. C. B.
