Under ct, because it - .a Legal

' the itie of $500,000,000 of si per
bohds, tedeemable after five yean, at the
pleasure or te United State aud absolutely
arable Wat twenty years from their date.
The are the bonds which are now well,
known til over the civilied world as United
-Stales 'five-twenty bonds, winch are sold at
in th. nrlnclpal Kuropeau exchanges, and are
almost exclusively owned by European capi
talists. The interest on them has heretofore
'been paid in gold, and everybody believes that
it is due in gold. Even Mr. K. F. Butler
-admits that it U due in goia. on-
cerning the interest no serious question has
ever been raised. But the five years after
which the United States may at their pleasure
pay off the capital of these bonds have expired,
and Mr. Butler and his friend, in their deep
anxiety to diminish the taxation of the people
and increase their own political reputation,
propose that the United States shall avail
themselves of this option and pay otf these
bonds. Now, the safest and simplest way of
diminishing the interest charge upon a debt
undoubtedly is to pay the debt itself, and we
belong to that class of taxpayers who would
be very glad to see this or any other portion
of the debt paid off as soon as possible, and
taxation correspondingly reduced. The ques
tion is not as to the piopriety of paying it, but
as to the money iu which it shall be paid. Mr.
Butler says that it should be paid off in legal
tender notes, claiming that the law allows this
mode of payment aud that the public welfare
requires it.
Does the law allow it ? The very fact that
the question can be asked and seriously dis
cussed proves that the law is not clear. In
fact, the letter of the law leaves an opening
to doubt. The spirit of the law removes all
doubt. The letter of the law makes it pos
sible for reckless demagogues, and for a
thoughtless people oppressed by a burden
wilfully and knowingly assumed, to claim
the right to redeem the bonds in currency.
The spirit of the law imposes a far different
obligation.
In July, 1801, a law was passed authorizing
the irfsue of $.r0,0W,000 of paper money and
$50,000,000 of bond bearing U per cent, inte
rest, redeemable at the pleasure of the United
States after twenty years from their date. At
the time this law was passed there was no
question as to the currency of the United
States. It was a gold-coin currency, and both
the. $50,000,000 of paper money and the
$50,000,000 of bonds were and are payable in
coin without any stipulation to that effect, for
the simple reason that at that time no other
mode of payment had yet been discussed or
thought of. The paper money issued under
this act became known as demand notes, and
has been gradually redeemed in coin or its
equivalent. The bonds became known as the
"sixes of 1881." The interest on them has so
far been paid in coin, and it seems difficult to
imagine the slightest ground upon which
either interest or capital can be paid in any
thing else. Nor, as far as we are aware, has
any one asserted that it can be paid in any
thing but coin.
In February, 1802, the law was passed autho
rising the issue of the Five-twenty bonds.
Nothing was said in the act of the currency in
which the principal should be paid, nothing
was said of the currency in which the interest
Bhonld be paid. But it was provided that the
receipts from customs should be specifically
pledged to the payment of the interest, and it
was specifically enacted that all customs should
loe paid in coiu. The bonds were o' per cent.
Itonds, precisely like those issued six months
Wore. There was no distinction in the acts
' providing that capital or interest of either
should be paid iu coin. Only in the act
authorizing the issue of the Five-twenties, to
make the interest payment all the more sure,
specifio revenues were in another part of
the act pledged to the payment of that
interest. And now, because additional
security was given for the payment of the
interest in coin, it is urged that it could not
have been intended to pay the principal in
coin, or else the additional security would
have been given for the principal likewise.
The fact is that the same security actually was
given. The same paragraph of the act which
pledges the customs receipts for the payment
in coin of the interest ou those bonds provides
that a part of the coin so received shall be set
aside as a sinking fund or the payment of the
principal of the debt. Yet in the face of this
the letter of the law is appealed to, showing
that in the paragraph authorizing the bonds
nothing was said of the currency in which
prinoipal or interest should be payable.
It is true that the same act under which
these bonds were issued also authorized the
making of $150,000,000 of greenback
paper money thenceforth the legal-tender
currency of the United States, and herein lies
the Btrong point of the repudiator's argument.
It is first proved that the law does not declare
in what currency the bond shall be paid; it is
then shown that the bond was sold for legal
tender currency; and it is next alleged that,
as the law does not specify in what currency
the bond shall be paid, equity demands that
it Bhall be paid in the same currency that the
United States received for it. The argument
is plausible; but it is, after all, but special
pleading.
Granted that Ihe law does not specify the
currency in which the bond is payable; granted
that the strong inference drawn above iu favor
Of the bond being payable in coin is unwar
ranted; granted that the bond is payable ia
ine same cum ncy that the united States re
ceived for it granted all this, and we must
Still deny that the bond is payable in legal
tender currency.
In the first-place, the logal-t-nder curreucy
issued under the act of 1W2 is no longer the
legal-tender of to-day. The old legal-tender
which was paid back into the United States
Treasury for these Five-twenty bonds had at
tached to it the privilege that it would be ex
changed at par, at the Option of the holder,
for the very bonds in question. The present
legal-tender notes have no sutdi privilege, and
the old notes have been withdrawn. I tithe
present legal-tendur the bonds are worth
twelve per cent, premium, whereas against
the old legal-tender they were, by the strict
letter of the law, obtainable at par. Surely
on this ground alone it would scarcely be
equitable to pay the bonds in the present
legal-tender.
In the second, place, the old legal-tender
issue, under the act of February '!', lst2,
was limited to $150,000,000, and stood for a
long time at par with gold, or at a merely
nominal premium. At that time no one yet
dreamt of "the price of gold." At that time
two or three Israelites and a few Chris iaus of
kindred spirit met furtively at the comer of
William street ami Exchange Flace, or in the
dim basements of a few professional money
changers, and, to the scandal of a loyal com

munity, tried to persuade one another that
gold would be at a premium one f these
days. But for month and months gold did
not go there, and the legnl-tender notes, for
, . . in. to luLiwta nurfl sold. vsstr.
to all intents and purposes, as good gold.
Is this the legal-tender currenoy in Woioh. Mr.
Butler would redeem the bon.af On the
12rth of May, three months after, the passage
of the Legal-tender act, gold was at a pre
mium of only three per cent. On July 11th,
Congress authorized, the issue ef $150,000,000
of additional legal-tender notes, and in less
than three mouths gold was .t a premium of
30 per cent. On January 17, 1863, Congress
authorised the issue of further $100,000,000
of legal-tender notes, aud in thirty days gold
was at a premium ol "i'l per cent. In which of
these legal-tender curivndes would Mr. Butler
redwRi the bonds f
Itistiseless to go further in this direction.
The facts are simply "these: The United States
has borrowed from iia own citizens and from
foreigners money on a bond. The letter of the
lond does not specify how the money or what
mouey shall be paid. The strict letter of the
' law cannot be appealed to. Equity alone cau
decide by establishing the intention of the
j parlies to the bond and their interpretation of it
at the time of making the agreement. At the
i time the contract was made, not one person
out of a hundred in the United States believed
that we should have any other currency but a
specie currency long before the hve years
option matured, and all who mougui bo must
have thought that theie bonds were payable
in coin.
On the first of March, 1802, seven days after
the passage of the Legal-tender act, an act
was passed authorizing the issue of certificates
of indebtedness drawing six per cent, annual
interest, without stating whether the interest
was payable in coiu or currency. By an act
of Match H, 3 80.'?, the interest on these certifi
cates was declared to b.t payable coin on all
those issued to that date, and on all subse
quently issued to be payable iu currency; a
striking argument against the assump
tion that in the absence of an express stipula
tion payment is to be made in currency.
On March A, 1804, the act was passed autho
rizing the issue of $200,000,000 of so-called
Ten-forty bonds, bearing 5 per cent, interest,
principal and intercut payable in coin. These
10-40 bonds are the strongest card of the repu
diators, and their argument is this: the fact
that the Ten-forty bouds are made specifically
payable, principal and interest, in coin, proves
that it could not have been the intention of
the Government to make the Five-twenties
payable principal and interest in coin, or it
would h:ire so stated with equal precision.
The very reverse is the case. The Five-twenty
bonds early became popular in Europe and
here, and it was thought that money could be
raised almost equally as well on a 5 per cent,
bond, and thus 1 per cent, of annual interest
be saved. Just at that time the question first
began to be raised, especially abroad, whether
the Five-twenties might not perhaps be paid
off in currency, and iu order to avoid lest
any such doubt might attach to the new
loan, it was BpecificaKy stated that it should
be payable principal and Interest in coin.
But, strat ge to tell, of all the loans issued
during the war, the only unpopular and un
successful one was this very Ten-forty loan.
If any serious doubt bad prevailed anywhere
about the Fivc-twent:es, who would have
hesitated to exchange a doubtful bond for one
which admitted of no question, although the
interest were slightly lower ? But far from
this, these undoubted 1)0 ads were not taken,
and in less than three mouths the Secretary
was compelled to seek authority for a further
issue of the very Five-twenty bonds which it
is now claimed were purchased with a know
ledge of the doubt adhoring to them. And
from that time to this the Ten-forty bonds
have stood in the market at almost precisely
the same figure as the Five-twenty bonds,
taking into account the difference in the rate
of interest. Is it possible to adduce a
stronger proof of the conviction of bona-fide
buyers that the Five-twenties were payable,
like the Ten-forties, principal and interest in
gold?
Wb pass by, as not of binding force, the
various letters from different Secretaries of the
Treasury giving their interpretation of the,
law, all of them in favor of our view. We
waive all claim to our version of the law, but
we lay the facts fairly before the people, and
ask them what was the interpretation put
upon the bond by borrower and lender alike
when the loan was made 1 We take it there can
be but one answer to our qmery, and that
answer the people of the United States will
have to honestly abide by. It may require
an effort to shake off the temptation, but the
people of the United States have scarcely
sunk bo low as to yield up their consci
ences to the guidance of such spiritual di
rectors as Messrs. Butler, Pendleton, and Val
landigham. We have no space left to show how petty
would be the advantages gained by so gross
a breach of faith, aud how enormous the loss,
how incalculable the evil. Nor can we now
enter into the absurdity and impossibility
of the different means suggested for the
actual execution of this nefarious scheme.
The fuss and flurry which it has excited here
and abroad are only another warning illustra
tion of the extreme ease with which the
influence acquired for one purpose may by
some men be applied to another. The best
plan, indeed, of meeting Mr. Butler's
sophistries is to remember that three-fourths
of the difficult science of finance is made up
of honesty, which all men can understand.
Whatever cannot bo understooi by honest
men is apt to be "financiering," and some
thing usually called by a worse name. The
specific allegations as to the representations
made by the Government and its agents in this
matter, by which Mr. Butler has sought to
bolster up his plan, in his last letter to the
Tribune, have been admirably met by a cor
respondent of the Boston Advertiser, signipg
himself "W. E.," and we do not see anythin"
better for Mr. Butler U do than to let the sub
ject drop. His share in this discussion fur
nishes strong support to the prediction we
we have more than ouce Ventured to utter,
that a good many gentlemen, whose "opinions
on publio affairs" are now supposed to ba of
considerable importance, will, whenever the re
construction problem is settled, have either to
provide themselves with a new and complete
mental outfit, or let the unfortunate couutry

Old genres China.
'A Workman" writes to the London Tmi
'Thirty years ago, when the rage for old
Sevres china was at Its highest, a few London
dealers in old Sevres china made large fortunes
in purchasing white specimens, or those
slichtlv decorated, and having them repainted
and regilt in this country. Their agefc8 in
Franoe attended Bales and sough, every oppor
tunity of buying it; the slight sprigs of flowers
were then removed by fluorio acid, and elabo
rately painted subjects of flowers, birds,
cunids. and fleures. chiefly from Boucher and
I Watteau, were painted in richly-gilt shields,
I with turquoise, green, and other grounds.
White deBsert plates were greedily bougui, at
prices varying from half a guinea to a guinea,
which were refiold at from five to ten guineas.
In order to deceive the purchaser, the sharp
touches of the chaser on the gold were rubbed
off by the hand; sometimes a dirty, greasy rag
was employed to make it look as though it
had been a long time in use.
"To increase the deception, the china, when
finished, was sent off, redirected in London in
French, and knowing old lovers of Sevres
china, with long purses, were apprised that a
package of choise articles bought of Madame
, or at the Duke of 's sale, had ar
rived, and they flattered themselves highly in
being privileged to see the box opened. Bar
gains were quickly struck on the spot, lest
the article might fall into other hands, the
buyer fancying himself fortunate in securing a
costly article before others had had a chauce
of looking at it. The writer has several
times seen specimens ot his own painting at
noblemen's houses, which he was informed
were choice productions of the Uoyal Sevres
Works, purchased for large sums. In re
turning through Londou from the Paris Ex
hibition the other day, he saw in ashop in the
Strand similar old acquaintances, which the
owner values, no doubt, at a high price, and
which he believes to have been altogether the
productions of the last century at the old
Sevres works. Some time ago one of our first
and keenest manufacturers purchased a pair
of his own vases, believing them to be old
Sevres, and introduced them as examples.
They had been bought from his own ware
house, in white, were painted by the writer
iu the old Sevres style, sold in London, and
bought some years after by the manufacturer."
The Debut of Mad'lle Fanny Jamauschek
In Mew York.
Mad'llc Fanny Janauschek, tha most eminent
triiccdicnue of ihe (ierman htaje. whs welcomed
lust evening at the Academy of Music by au
audience representing in nearly equal propor
tions the American Rnd German nationalities.
The play chosen lor this perhaps the most re
markable debut ever witnessed in New York,
was the Medea of Grillparzer a drama quite
new to the American public, who have hereto
fore followed the strongly lnteresttni? story of
J:ison and Medea only through the condensed
form in which M. Legouve has furnished it for
the French stage, whence the Italian version
adopted by Madame Uistori is derived. The
(ierman tragedy dit)ers materially in Incident
from the French, and can hardly be pronounced
so pood an acting play the dialogue being ex
ceedingly spun out by the award of sundry lorn
speeches to the minor character?. The role of
the jealous fury '"Medea" is, however, more
effectively presented by the German poet, so
that the preponderance ot actual merit may,
after all, be sail to be in tavor of the German
drnn a.
Mad'lle Janauschek appears as the bright ex
ponent of h KC'aool of rt directly opposed to
that which hm so lone been fostered on the
Knpljsh ttage, but which rightfully belongs to
the Italian. The appeal is made more directly
to the intellect than to the passions. The tri
umph may be blower in the one case than in the
other, but it is none the less suie.
In noticing the introductory performnnce last
mpht, we ore constrained to bo brief, although
from Its originality, strength, unci sterling ex
cellence, it invites careful aud elaborate an
aljsis. The inequalities of the representation
were due to the very mediocre support accorded
the great actress, but these, though prominent
at first, poon weie lost to observation through
her magical influence, which compelled a con
centration of interest upon her efforts alone.
The success attending Mad'lle Janauschek's act
lnii can oiily be called stupendous. Never have
we secti an audience so thoroughly swayed by
an artiste. A7. Y. World. '
An Eccentric Physician.
A writer in CasseWs Magazine tells some
curious stories of Martin Van Buchell, a dentist,
whose father was tapestry-maker to Georee II
of Eouland. The son first anpeared as a dentist,
and was bo successful that he is aid to have
received as much as eighty guineas for a set of
lalse teeth; but he also devoted bimeelf to me
chanical Inventions counected with surgery, as
well as patent stirrups and other contrivances
lone mucc lornottcu. The most extraordinary
freak of this eccentric philosopher was exhibited
alter the d'aih of his first wrie, from whom he
was go unwilling to part that he had her body
embalmed, and for a long time kept it in a eflass
cate in the drawine room, where numbers of
peitors went to see it, and in order to account
for such a strange whim, Invented a report that
he was entitled by a clause in a will to certain
money so long as his wife "remained above
grouud." In his household but little meat and
no teruienled driuk was allowed; at all events,
he partook of none of the latter, though he may
have winked at its consumption by his wife, for
he made it a rule to take his dinner alone, and
whistled when be wanted anvthing.
He was twice married, aud on each occasion
gave his wife the choice of wearing either white
or black clothes from that time thenceforth. The
first chose black, the kecond white, so that he
bad an opportunity of dlscoveiing which was
most becoadnu; but neither of then ever
appeared in colors.
his own appearance was not a little singular,
and as at one period he took a fancy lor selling
cakes, nuts, apfdes, and gingerbread at bis
street-door in Mount street, Berkelley Square,
he became, perhaps, rather more notorious than
famous, although there was a certain dignity
about his tine flowing beard in days when every
body shaved clean. Imngine him, however
(savs the writer), on a grey pony untrlmmed
aud uudocked (tor his objection to hair-cutting
extended to tue clipping of animals), with a
shallow, iiarrow-trinitned hat, rusty with age,
a brown coat, and unblacked bots; his steed
not only decorated wit'a streuks and spots of
black, green, or purple, but furnished, by way
of bead genr, with a sort of i-pring blind, which
could b let down over the animal's eyes, in
case of his taking fright, or to conceal any
object at which he was I'kely to shy.
