How I?EDJEE?IABJIE. - The New York Evening Post explains that nil tho is? sues of Government bonds which do not specify in what currency redeem? able, are to be redeemed in coin, while those which on their face ure to be paid in " lawful money" are redeem? able in leg-.il lenders or greenbacks. The question, it says, excites doubts and uneasiness; but the view given is generally understood, und has been recognized by the late and present Secretaries of the Treasury. It adds: The distinction between the two classes of bonds is broadly marked by their current prices. The six per cent, bonds payable in 1881 aro at thirteen or fourteen per cent, pre? mium; the six per eont. bouds paya? ble in 1896 arc worth ouly par, q?o twg both Aa currency. Tho latter, hftving the"' longest time to run, would, of tho two, be selling at much the higher price if it were not that the former -are -understood to be gold bonds, while tho latter are by their express terms currency bonds. Tile temporary loans, the com? pound interest notes, the seven-t hirty note?-all these were well understood to be payable in currency, and no one expects or asks for any other pay? ment. In the thirty-year bonds, pay? able in 1896, which are those issued %Q the Pacific Railroad, the promise is explicit to pay in our lawful money, which words are understood by all to mean our legal tender notes. Ho with tbe short obligations; the agreement to pay and to receive in payment this lawful money was explicitly under? stood on both sides. Where no such agreement was made, the obligation to pay in coin is of course. The United States cannot, in the lutter instances, pay, without dishonor, in anything hilt gold coin. THB WASHINOTON CHRONICLE 10: PUDIATED.-The radicals seem to lie bent upon repudiating Forney. Not content with bringing old Thad. Stevens out ugain&t him as a candi? date for the United States Senate, with a certainty of defeating him, they have made arrangements fori establishing a new organ in Washing? ton city, which will appear to-day, it is said. It is to be called The Great Republic, and will be extremely radi? cal and intensely hostile to the Pre? sident's policy, yet doubtless a de? cent journal as compared with tho Chronicle. It is to be under the edi? torial management of Hon. J. M. Edmunds, the present postmaster of j the Senate, who was but recently ap Sointed to the office in the room of a ohnson man that was turned ont. Forney is clerk of tho Senate. So we shall have the postmaster against the clerk. Forney's paper is not very profitable even now, and lives, no doubt, on the eramba fed to it by the office-holders in Washington. How long it will last when this patronage shall have been divided, timo will show. -Richman d Dispatch. The radicals of Mr. Beecher's con? gregation, in order to neutralize the influence of his late letters, gave the Sontheim radicals a reception in Beecher's church. The "traveling menagerie," as the papers call them, marched in, and were greeted with I wild applause. They were weloomed j to the church "where tho principles of abolitionism and tho doctrine of Sharpe's rifles were first sent forth j into the oity"-so tho orator said. Maynard was the first to reply; after j which the big organ burst out into "John Brown," at which the audience grew frantic with excitement, .and ?boated in a vociferous manner the j chorus, not forgetting the line, ! "We'll hang .Tefl". Davis on a sour apple tree." Such sceues would be incredible, save that Satan has been loosed in thia country. __ 20,000 people lay sick in Now York last week, but then there were 980, 000 more who were stirring. TUR EMPEROR'S IIXXXSS.--The . cable bas intimated that Hie Emperor ' Napoleon is ill. That is nfact -which has been known for some time past, though for obvious reasons the French journals have had but little to say about it. The court gossips ni e less reticent. The press may be pad? locked, but it. is a harder matter to keep people's tongues still. His Majesty's ailment is understood tobe diabetes-and as the doctors say that is a complaint from which the patient rarely recovers, it. is not surprising that people are beginning to specu? late upon what is going to happen. The Emperor, undoubtedly ?-.ware of the fact that he must die some time, settled tho "succession" along while ago -but. in a country like France, it is much easier to make a settlement on paper than a settlement in fact. Dynastic settlements are never cer? tain there. Tho people are fond of change, and ns they have not had ono now for a good many y cms, the temptation to indulge ina new deal of the cards, should tho Emperor drop oil", might be too powerful for a Regency, or an Empress ns popular even as Eugenie, to control. It is idle to calculate on the future, however, in n case like this. No? thing is certain, bid. uncertainty. And that is one ol the weaknesses oJ what is called a strong Government, with all power vested in one mau. When the one man dies, there is no thing left behind -to fall back upon. Everythingis at the mercy of chance Not so in free Governments. Tin Queen of England might clift to-day and the machino would goon just sa before, without apprehension of revo lution, anarchy, or anything ol' th< isovt. The President ol" th? Cn i to? States, also, might die, but the Go verument would bo in no danger o dying with him. Free Governments iu point of fact, are always tb strongest. Those which rest npoi the "olio man power"' are ever ii peril of crumbling to piece?, whei the limn himself is no more. [ New York Empress. VAT.MUTv or DEEIVS rou LAM? Soi.; JPOR CONFEDERATE MONET -IMTOH TANT DECISION.-The Warrenton Sen Hurt contains the following report < an interesting and important case: Stewart and Palmer rs. Hanbncl An action ot unlawful detainer. This Ls an action instituted by th plaintiffs to recover the possession ? a tract of land called Waverly, a mil? and-a-half from this place The tri: of the case has engaged tim attoutio of the Court for the Inst three day and the main point in Hie case wa: as to the validity of a deed execute i by lt. M. Smith to the plaintiffs, i June, 1KG3, the consideration < which was Confederate money. Hanback entered upon thc posse .sion erf the laud in 1862, and held os the tenant of Smith. Smith so! \ and conveyed to the plaintiffs, by tl deed of June. 18G3. Til? quest k upon the deed was raised Uv the d fendant's counsel by a motion to e elude it as evidence from tho j ul? and was elaborately argued by Messi Helm and Hunton, for the d?fendit: and by Messrs. Tucker and Shack? ford, for the complainants. The Cou over-ruled the motion to exclude, ai allowed the deed tu go to tlio jar The result ot' this ruling settles t' law, so far as this Court is concerno in favor of the validity ot deeds f land sold during the war for Con fed rate money. The jury rendered a verdict for t plaintiff. We understand the ea will be carried np to the Court Appeals. - GENERAL, GUAN?-.-The Richmo Times says: The fidelity of Genei Grant to his Commander-in-Chief something for which he deserves i finitely more credit than for his mu landed victories over a half starv army of brave Confederate soldie The indignant and earnest manner which, at the theatre in Oincinnn I he rebuked the men who would hi) honored him at the expense of Chief, marks him as a gentleman a a man of sterling worth. Whether he sustains the Preside] policy <.:. not, he has thc pluck ?1 firmness to rebuke those excesses decency and ill-breeding by which 1 radicals have disgraced thc natii If he docs sustain Congress and ? fers with the President, he doser still greater credit for his late ma exhibition of fidelity to Presid Johnson. !t is, wc think, very ? dent that whatever are the polit leanings o? Grant, there is little 01 possibility of his ever being used 1 too! of the revolutionists and Ju bins. - .-.?-??-?-- - LIFE (OR DEATH) IX NEW YOKE C'?
