ALLENTOWN, PA., JAN. 17,
SECRETARY BOUTWEL rota-
CV AND 'WELCH.
The Financier, anew and able weekly devot
ed to questions of finance and political econo
my, begins its career by the customary New
York attack upon Mr. Boutwell's opinions
and prlicy. The frequency and the slight
effects of these onsets remind us a little of that
husband's remark, wko, when foundone day
undergoing personal chastisement from his
wife, said to a friend who interfered :" "Oh,
never mind, it seems to amuse her and It don't
hurt me in the least." Mr. I3outwell sheds
advice and assault as a duck sheds rain ; and
yet they have some effect when they come in
the form of a popular demand for reduced
taxation, as any one may see who will com
pare his three reports, of 1809-70-71 with one
another. lie is firm on one point, however,
all along, and that is the great and increasing
prosperity of the country, which the Financier
is inclined to doubt. And he also shows am
disposition yet to recede from his favorite plan
of refunding the five-twenties, at a lower rate
"Merest. And just now the stock market is
a little disturbed by a report, apparently well
giounded, that lie is negotiating with the
Rothschilds, through Jay Cooke and leCul•
loch & Co., forplacing $60,000,000 of the new
loan, In equal shares of 4i and 5 per cent. bonds
on the European market. Under the influence
of this rumor, gold fell 1 per cent. on Satur
day, and only recovered on the news of iron
clads for Cuba fitting out under orders from
Washington.
So far as revealed to the public, this offer is
made by the Rothschilds on condition that the
interest shall be paid in Europe, which at
present is not provided for by law. Sonic of
the new fives have been bid for, however, on
thepresent basis, the interest payable in Amer
ica. These propositions will be acted upon at
once, and If the interest, can be paid abroad,
as proposed, there will be a chance of refund
ing six hundred millions of our present six
per cent. loan at rates averaging four and
three-quarters in tile aggregate—thus saving
seven and a half millions per annum on this
sirtundred millions. The proposition is for
the foreign contractors to boy the bonds out.
right from the treasury, and with the proceeds
the atitstanding five-twenties are to be re
deemed as the money is paid. In any case,
the negotiation will probably not be consum
mated for some time to come, as ninety days'
notice will have to be given by Mr. Boutwell
of the redemption of the five•twentles, and no
heavy accumulations of the money either here
or In London will, after the recent experiences
with the Syndicate, be likely to occur. If the
secretary decides to accept the proposal, he
will ask Congress anew, and in view of it, to
allow interest to he paid in Europe, and so we
shall have more of the scheme from him. We
hope it may succeed, certainly. It Is to be
noticed Unit the new fives are now a little
above par in geld, and that they withstand
the changes in the money market better than
some of the older government bonds. Whether
they will hold above par when the coupons
are paid, will. depend somewhat on the sue
cons of the new movement to dispose of
$300,000,000 4i per cents.
As to the prosperity of the country, it must
be regarded as very good, or it could not have
withstood so quietly the burning of Chicago,
the failure of fifty insurance companies, ha i l e r
a dozen banks and three or four savings in•
stitutions, the unprecedented defalcations in
public officers of city and nation, and the stag
nation in great branches of business like our
woolen manufacture, occasioned by the high
price of the raw material, and the low rate of
manufactured goode. Look, too, at the inet
that we built more railroads in 1871 than in
any ono year before. Last January we had
..but 54,435 miles of railroad In the whole
Union. To-day we have 62,010 miles, and
next year we shall probably have 70,000 miles.
All this rapid construction of new routes costs
money, depletes the loan market, converts
floating capital into fixed capital, and thus
draws heavily upon the credit and the wealth
of the country, at least temporarily ; yet NV ,
continue it year after year, and foreign capl.
tat is as ready now to flow in for this use as
over it was. We would not advise Mr. EMlL
well's critics, therefore, to lay much stress on
the sag condition of the country in material
affairs.
In his Philadelphia speech Mr. 13outwell
announced that he sltduld stick to 10801,000,-
000 reduction of the public debt in each year,
whiCh is about the rate of the reduction firr
December. He took little notice of (is critics
except to quote Burke and to say, in langungt ,
which, If not original, is certainly worth pan.

It is not by violent menus ; it is not by ex
travagant schemes; it Is pot by visionary
theories, drawn from the meditations of men
who have labored in the closet for the develop
meiffrof ideas, that the people of this country
will find their best security as to the future.
It will be In looking.at the practical affairs of
the day with eyes of living men that we can
ascertain what is wise for us to do ; and while
• I am not disposed to disregard precedent,
while I would look into the writings of learded
men for their ideas and for the experience
which other nations and other generations
have had, I still believe that the best security

SOME considerable excitement has been
caused in the Unitarian denomination by the
formal renunciation of the distinctive dogma
of 'Unitarianism by Rev. George 11. Hepworth
of New York City. Mr. Hepworth was form
erly pastor of one of the wealthy and fashion
able Unitarian elturchesat Boston, and he Os
called from his pastorate there to succeed It !le .
Dr. Osgood as pastor of the Church of the
Messiah of New York. He has been regarded
as ono of the strongest and most promising ex
ponents of the so called Liberal Christianity,
and his defection will be quite a surprise and
a blow to the Unitarian denomination. In
his farewell sermon, which was preached on
Sunday last, Mr. Hepworth gave a candid
statement of the reasons which had prompted
• him to renounce Unitarianism and accept Con
gregationalism,and there is much that isdeeply
suggestive In this discourse. Liberal Christi
anity has overreached itself in its desire to be
come popular and inoffensive, and the result
has been that it lure entirely separated and di
vorced itself from religion. Men need some
thing more than the dry husks of merely in
tellectual reasoning, and this fact has driven
Mr. Hepworth to an acceptance of Christ as
the Divine Savior of mankind. It is a little
' singular that Mr. HePworth's predecessor,
Rev. Dr. Osgo3d, resigned the pastorate of the
Church of the Messiah to embrace Episcopacy,
and that he, too, should tender his resignation
to embrace COngregationnlism.
A TRIP across the continent by rail in mid
winter id not altogether poetry. The paSsen
gers who left San Francisco December 19 ar
rived at Chicago on Sunday evening last, and
those who left San Francisco a week later ar
rived at the same time. The long detention
is sttributed to the heavy snow storms which
have prevailed along the line of the Union
Pacific Railroad, but the telegraph reports the
long delayed passengers as grumbling bitterly
against the rail road authorities, and intima
ting that stupidity and carelessness were more
to blame than snow drifts. Whatever the
cause may have been, the fact remains that
nearly twenty days were occupied In accom
plishing five days travel; and those.who con

TILE VICE PRESIDENCY
A Washington dispatch announces with an
air of confidence that Mr. Colfax has recon
sidered his previously expressed determination
of retiring to p4horate life, so far at least as to
say that if he is renominated for the position
of Vice President he will, accept the nomina.

again will give him considerable strength be•
fore the NationaUlepublican Convention. It
w ill not, however, prevent a tolerably sharp"
competition for the place, as there are several.

the place. Senator Wilson of Massachusetts

among the More prominent of these candidates,
and with such men RP candidata for the post
lion there is a cern , 'y of securing a good
and worthy man. Tii s ton of Vice Pr( a
ident is not of the greatest importance in itself,
but the Johnson experience taught its that we
cannot afford to place a man there who would
not be a proper person to till the Excetuive
Chair in case of such necessity arising. Some
such experience as that was needed to raise
the position of Vice President to Its proper
importance, for it had long been the custom
rzrm
_872
to make the second nomination on the Presi•
dential ticket without much reference to lit•
ness for the duties of the first and leading
place. Mr. Colfax, however, or either of the
two gentlemen whom we have mentioned us
among the more prominent present candidates
for the nominntion, would not disappoint the
country in case they slieuld be called upon to
act as President. Mr. Colfax's particular
friends seem to have considered that the retire
went of the present Vice President would he
raught with danger both to the Republican
'arty and to the country, and they are very
übilnnt over the fact that he will not decline
t renomination if it is tendered him. We be.
lieve that Mr. Colfax Imsmever said that he
would decline n renomination nod reelection,
nit it Lnsbeen very generally understood that
he preferred to withdraw from public life at
itshington at the termination or his present
term. The only 'objections likely to be brought
against Mr. Cot faxi , s . renomination are his
professed indifference to the place and the
"claims" of other gentlemen, and both of these
arguments will be etv4erly and persistently
urged. Against Mr. Colfax's h"nesty, integ
rity and fidelity to duty there has never been
so much as a whisper raised, and his most
violent partisan (ippon( nis can do no less than
to hear testimony to his faithful official eon
uct. His record has been so amid Unit it will
e hard work to work ngninst him, and the
result is quite likely to be his renomination.
In that event we are sure of a good Vic t"Pres.
ident, and it he is beaten in the Convention it
can only be by a strong and worthy man, for
Mr. Colfax's popularity cannot be overcome
by any trickery or bargaining.

A WORD WITNI IRISHMEN

all the work. They are not careful w horn
they recommend for appointment to official

applicant from their midst can speak, read and
write the English language, and they know
beth r than the Board can ascertain by exami

him be appointed to a position in the Butted

The Crease of the Tellante's Complaints
The Washington cot respondent of the Her
ald says": The developments before the Sen
ate Committee now--in session in New York
are attracting much attention litre. The Dem
ocrats are rejoicing over the tone of the evi
dence which has been elicited by Mr. Bayard,
especially about the connection of the Presi
dent with Colonel Leet. Those who think,
however, that there will bpi no defence, or, in
other words, no evidence rebutting what has
been adduced, mistake the temper of the men
who surround the Administration.
So far as the story of Let t paying a portion
of the mess bills of Babcock and Porter is
concerned, it is said that this famous mess,
which attracted so much attention at the out.
set of the Administration, was composed of
Babcock, Porter and Badeatt. the present
Consul General to London. Colonel Lect
was never a member of it, and only came here
as a guest now and them It will furthermore
be shown that the President distinctly in
structed Mr. Murphy that if Colonel Lect or
any one else held office or in any way enjoyed
patronage on account of any supposed connec
tion with the President he should be dlsmissed.
Furthermore, it will be shown that Mr.
Murphy had made prraugements to dismiss
Mr. Lest and give the patronage to Mr. Lean,
the present Naval Officer, when the President
appointed Mr. Laflin Naval Officer, and so
prevented it. Mr. lean was an especialpro
lege of Mr. Conkling's, and being a kindly,
busy, s assiduous man, had made mapy friends.
So when his business misfortunes eame upon
him, Mr. Conkling and his friends arranged
that Vie Lest business • should be transferred
to him. Another important fact will,be brought
out, to the effect that shortly after Mr. Mur_
phy. became Collector he was waited upon by
John F. Cleveland, formerly Assessor in the
Thirty second District, and the brolLet.in
of Mr. Horace Greeley, veho asked him
for a share of this general order business, and
that when this was declined by Mr. Murphy
the Taunt: suddenly became cold and began
its war upon the Collector. The President
regards the assaults with equanimity, and
said to-day to a caller that he hoped the in•
vestigation would be searching.and thorough..
