In a lrtt« r elsewhere printed Mr. SheppardHomans sets forth a truth of the gravest ini-portanoe to every nun who handlea a green¬back or b«»pcft to own a United States bond.It is that it is ioconsiatent with the publicaecority to have all the processes «if printing«numbering, willing, and issuing the Nationalcurrency and bonds began and ended withinthe Trca-uiy buildiag, or even withinany tinglo city. Tho chances for collu¬sion between employée are too numer¬

ous. The plan which gave the different pro¬posers iu the iiianuf.iclure of a single bond or

a single greenback to different establishmentsunder separate control in different cities,-.«.cms to aa not only wi-o but indispensable.Ih» ra is ri-.li enough al the best. We cannot

afford to Lacrease this risk tenfold by aban¬doning Hie lafegaarda we have had, and cun-

oratratiog Hie whole dangerous business ofprinting our currency uud boada in such a

witnesses, but their evidence is neither novelnor unpoitaat; in fact, the story of each car-

riea its own refutation on its face, or makaiits own weakness apparent.

Uenoo we

find in the Lnforcement acts an elaborate at¬tempt to do what legislation never sought to

accomplish before.not merely to protect th«'negroes against violence, but to emancipateIhe moro ignorant half of the communityfrom the moral inihieiieo of the educated.

templating the ««cene. To the eye of the casualobserver he seemed cold and passionless» li»-was not. Ile was representing Mississippi, andwas slowly but surely (illingup with thunder¬bolts. In t!ii« language of poetry ho hung on

the low horizon s'ircharg«*«l to bursting. In flicslang of the street he ivas "laying to:' '«in.'1On Tnesday le1 said to himself, "This thing

The Senator from Virginia closedhis speech and sat down. Then roao Pease tothe Senate and the couotry, and shook thewild tangles of his frosty hair. Beading firstto the clerk's desk the resolutions of the _lis-rissi] ni Legisl ture approving the action ofGen. Sheridan in Louisiana.much as tbe

upon nothing but newapapei reporta uncovers

the weakness of the case. Nobody has seen

Ah, there's no doubt about Peasewhen he gets hold of a subject. He has theinspiration of genius, the giip of fate, and the«ht ck of a right whale. It is the misfortuneof the American '»copie that the only proofthey have that Pessi made a two days'speechin the Senate is from newspapei reports, lintthat is not Pease's fault,Proceeding from tli^s position, that there

was BO proof that Grant had ever usurped or

dictated, Pease went on to say th it the treat¬ment of Louisiana was eminently proper, andthat upon tho whole the people down thatway couldn't hive too much of it. Be de¬scribed the organisatiofl of ihe LouisianaLegisl tture, and denounced the conduct of theConservatives as revolutionary. There hadbeen ifiX) murders for political reasons inLouisiana, ho said. Doing a man who dis¬trusts newspaper rai nts, we Judge that Peasebad persona] knowledge of these li.oü1) mor¬derá, perhaps stood by and saw them, or maybe was murdered once or twice himself. Wecould litv Wished (¡io statement had bien a

little ander or out 8yj00, bec.use it wouldhave seemed more exact and accurate! Be-aides, people an» getting incredulous of roundnumbers, especially in relation to murders.still we have great confidence in Pease, andfr« 1 »ure he would not have »»aid there were«J,.r)00 murders it he had not seen them him¬self. Pi iae i* noue of your hearsay witnesses.It is much to be regretted that at the momentwheo Pease hov red over the Senate with thecasual remark that some members of thatbody wiro in the habit of apologizing foraasaasination and mordor, Mr. Tburm-in ofOhio .should hive interrupted bim erith theabsurd Bud unreasonable request for theirnames. Some people are so dreadfully par¬ti."ular. The idea of a Senator's taking up a

little thing like that I Peaae didn't rememberany names. Of course not. What différend«lid it make about naines any way. Everybodyknew there was a.so to speak.sort of a.an

atmosphère of sympathy with asaasainationand murder on the Democratic s-.»!«« of th«1Senate chamber, and thal was enough. Ii isthe atmosphere that t«'lls. Why «»\«n inLouisiana they could give no names of intimidated persons, but it was notorious thatthere was an atmoaphi ra of intimidation thi re.So mad. bo "hut the AdiiiiiiiMi.it¡on wouldluive lost the state if it bad not oeeo foi theIll-turning Board.Pease covered the oa-e. He expectorated

Ho harrowedthe Senate for two daysi with eely the aeces-siiry Interruptions f«»r sleep ami regular meals.Two days that Bennie Rat und watched thewibi wagging of the schoolmaster'i chin.

They clothe the widowSanders and her children, ply the drunkencobbler's wife with SOUP, and tho cobblerwith tracts until life is a hurd. 11 tohim. They look upon everybody inthe little town as a kinsni.u. They con¬

gregate in the sick-room with prescriptionshanded dowu for generations) and at funeralswith sincere sympathy and ready tears. Niiwthe " butterflies ol' fashion" in town, whomthey always picture as fluttering down dobroad road to death, are but women likethemselvss: their sympathy and tcais arc justas ready.

ries a printed appeal of which there are a

thousand duplicates; the starving cobbler'swife turns out tob... the« prosperous keeperof a sailors' boarding-house. Charity, to pro¬tect itself, becomes in cilios cooperative. ThoDeacon's wealthy eonsio on Murray Hill doesnot nurse her neighbor in the measles butnions a cri. he cr orphans1 nome. She bus no

prescriptions to give, but she has money. Ifshe and the Deacon's wife happen to meet on
