KefonWIng the Debt.
Since the opening of the current year
the government has sold in round num
bers eighty millions of fonr per cents.
At the beginning of the year there were
outstanding of redeemable sixes three
hundred and forty-eight millions. Nearly
one-quarter ot this amount was called
therefore in the first twenty days of the
year. If the subscriptions continue as
they have begun.the last one of the sixes
Of 1867 and 1868 will be called in by the
first day of ApriL If the house bill ex
tending the provisions of the refunding
act to any bonds "bearing five per cent
or a higher rate of interest which may be
redeemable”—if this bill becomes law—
and it undoubtedly will—the secretary
will next call the 10-40 five per cents, of
1851, which have been redeemable since
July 1,1870, and of which there are $194,-
366,300 outstanding. After these will
come the five per cent, ante-bellum loan
of 1858, which has been redeemable
since Jannary 1, 1874; bnt as there is
only $360,000 of that, it will take less
than a tenth of the average day’s sales of
fours to wipe it out. Bnt with that loan
the whole list of redeemable bonds will
be exhausted, and there will he no more
bonds to call until December 31,1881, when
the first sixes of 1881 are payable. There
are only $18,415,000 of that lot; and the
next lot of sixes due are the Oregon war
debt bonds, aggregating $945,000, due
Jnly 1,1881. There are, however, $508,-
440,350 of the funded fives redeemable
after May 1,1881, but ms $264,321,350 more
sixes are redeemable after June 30,1881,
it iB not likely that any of the funded
fives will be called before the last of the
year 1881. From this review it will he
seen that whilst the four per cent, sub
scriptions now indicate an aggregate oi
fully twelve hundred millions for tlie
year, there are only $542,845,600 of bonds
which it was possible to call within the
two years beginning January 1, 1879, so
that even with the enlarged antlioritr
granted by the law which passed the
house Wednesday, it is entirely possible
that the government may have to atop
the sales of fonr per cents, within the
next two ycara for the simple reason that
there will he no bonds to redeem with the
product of the four per cent. saleB.

The Florida Nenators.
Some one discovered a few days ago
that South Corolina hail two wooden
legged senators. Florida has since the
election of Wilkinson Call on day before
yesterday a scarcely less notable pair.
Mr. Jones, the senior senator, was ten
years ago a carpenter, driving his plane
on the bench. He studied law out of
work hours, and was soon admitted to
the bar. His success was phenomenal,
lie gave his attention to constitutional
studies, and was soon a very capable
lawyer. His first speech in the supreme
court, though it was crude and awk
wardly put, created a profound impres
sion. He was elected to the legislature,
and from his seat in the house was
advanced to a seat in the United States
senate. He lias made a fine reputation
there, and is one of the most vigorous
thinkers and talkers in the senate. He
is a young man and is destined to win
great distinction. He is still a hard
student and is rapidly perfecting himself
in constitutional methods. He lives
Pensacola.
The new senator, Wilkinson Call, lives
in Jacksonville and is a young man
exceptionally eloquent address. He
new to public life, but has had great ex.
perience on the stump. He represents
emphatically the idea of young America
in Florida, and is elected by much the
same influences, we presume, that put
Senator Jones in office. His opponents/
white and dark horses, were older men,
ex-Congressman Finley, ex-Senator
Yulee, an<l ex-Governor Walker being
the ones on whom interest mainly cen
tered. Mr. Call comes of an illustrious
family, and is a thoroughbred in every
sense. His victory is a brilliant one, and
was somewhat unexpected. His elo
quence was conceded, and his ]iersonal
magnetism and popularity a matter of
note; but it was thought that be
deficient os an organizer, and could not
very well manage his forces. He wHl
make a brilliant senator, and will
worthily fbpresent Florida. He was the
head of the Tilden electoral ticket in the
late election. It is needless to say that
bis substitution for Conover very much
elevates the standard of southern repre
sentation. Florida has two of the bright
est young senators of them all, and her
people must draw a breath of relief
finding Jones and Call in the places
Gilbert and Conover.
save in Reynolds’s case. The priests who
notoriously conducted the endowment
house ceremonies feigned impenetrable
ignorance, and it was only by stratagem
that the needful testimony was secured.
The United States marshal captured Mrs.
Reynolds No. 2 on the street one day
during the trial before she had been
par with coin. The house bad, however,
more faith in the maintenance of resump
tion than the gentleman from Ohio, for it
voted down his proposition by about
three to one. The bill was passed as it
came from the committee. It Is believed

The election to the senate this week
John A. Logan, of Illinois; D. W. Vor-
hees, of Indiana; George G. Vest, of Mis
souri; J. Donald Cameron, of Pennsyl
vania; Roecoe Conkling, of New York.
Orville H. Pratt, of Connecticut; Zebu-
Ion B. Vance, of North Carolina; Wilkin
son Call, of Florida; and Matt Carpen
ter, of Wisconsin—the election of these
ten new senators closes the enrrent list, ex
cept In the cases of Kansas, New Hamp
shire, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Mr. In
galls, or some oilier equally rampant
republican, will be chosen in Kansas,
and Mr. Wadleigh, or some other repub
lican, in New Hampshire, and the dead
locks in the other two states will eventu
ally be broken by the election of two earn
est democrats. The twenty-five senators-
eiect will hold office until 1885. Four
teen of them are democrats and eleven
republicans. Of those who go out of
office In 1883. fourteen are democrats
and eleven republicans; and by counting
David Davis as a republican, the same
proportions apply to those who go out of
office in 1881. Only six senators liave been
re-elected out of the twenty-fife whose
terms expire on the -ith of next March,
namely, Messrs. Gordon, Morrill, Conk
ling, Allison, Jones and Cameron. Messrs.
Morrill and Conkling are alone in the
twelfth year of senatorial service. It
possible that Messrs. Eustis, Ingalls ami
Wadleigh may also be re-elected. In the
new senate the democrats will have an
easy working majority, and far greater
strength in debate, the changes having
added to the democratic ride several
strong and thoroughly-equipped debaters,
while the republicans have gained only
Matt. H. Carpenter. The d&nocrats will
certainly give Messrs. Edmunds, Conk
ling and Carpenter all the work they wil!
be apt to wont os members of the mi
nority. It is needless to odd, that all the
talk about a republican majority in IS31
is mere moonshine. Not only would Cor
bin and Kellogg have to be glued to two
seats, but the republicans would have to
take every trick from this time on. Such
a result is too improbable for serious con
sideration. It is far more probable that
the republican nu|*n*j*,2ey in the
senate will depart on the fourth
of next March, never more to return.
Bat whether it returns or not, the new
senate will contain a democratic majority
of eight over all, making it the first demo-
erotic senate since 186L Both hgaiy^pj
of congress will then be democratic.
Such an event has not blessed the repab-
lfo since 1855.

length, and practically defeated by a re
fusal to order the bill to be engrossed and
read a third time. The decisive vote was
87 yeas, 127 nays. Messrs. Bell, Blount,
Candler, Felton, Harris and Smith voted
“aye;" Messrs. Cook and Stephens did
not vote.
On Tuesday of last week,the hill grant
ing pensions to soldiers and sailors of thc
Mexican and other wars was taken up in
the house. Messrs. Bell, Blount, Candler,
Cook, Felton,Harris and Smith supported
the original hill in all its stages. Mr.
Stephens was paired with Mr. Price, of
Iowa. The bill was loaded down with
amendments that will practically kill it.
On motion of Mr. Cook, the committee
on appropriations was directed to include
a sum sufficient to pay the widow of the
late Mr. Ilartridge the amount he would
have received had he lived to serve out
his term.
Last Wednesday, General Gordon ob
tained unanimous consent to introduce a
bill to amend the relief already granted
to or proposed for Robert Erwin. In the
house, the bill providing for the issue of
certificates of deposits of the denomi
nation of $10 and upwards, hearing three
per cent interest, and convertible at any
time into fonr per cent bonds was taken
up. Hr. Kelley moved to amend
the hill so that the certificates
would be convertible at any
time after six months, into either lawful
money or tiie new fours. This amend
ment was voted down—yeas 82, nays
149. Messrs. Blount, Felton, Harris and
Smith voted “aye;" Messrs. Candler and
Cook voted “no;" and Messrs. Bell and
Stephens did not vote. The bill as origi
nally reported was then passed by a vote
of yeas 115, nays 72. Mr. Candler voted
“aye;" Messrs. Blount, Felton and Harris
vote*! “no;" Messrs. Bell, Cook, Smith
and Stejdiens did not vote. Mr. Cook
was paired with Smith; Messrs. Bell and
Stephens were detained from the house
by sickness. When the bill to make
greenbacks receivable for duties on im-
l»orts was taken up, Mr. Garfield moved
that they be so receivable as long as the
notes are at par with coin. On this prop
osition—which was beaten by a vote of
76 to 123—Messrs. Blount, Candler, Cook,
Felton and Harris voted “no;" Messrs.
Bell, Smith and Stephens did not vote.
The hill, as originally reported, was then
passed by a vote of 154 to 42. Messrs.
Blount, Candler, Cook, Felton and Harris,
voted “aye;" Messrs. Bell, Smith and
Stephens did not vote. Mr.
Stephens presented the resolutions
of the city council of Augusta, in favor of
the establishment of a United States dis
trict court with circuit court powers in
that city.
In the senate last Thursday the pen

was posted by a rote of 44 to 4. Messrs.

membership of over 200,000.
—“Formerly one sermon converted 3,000
sinners,” said Elder Burgesn, of Butler uni

Well, his Mpplication was approved, but
it said to go to Farmville for thirty days.
That was a little hospital town about thirty
miles from Richmond. But old Hock said
he sometimes called his form in Dawsqn bv

Major Hocketihull used to do right smart
fighting, though he wasent obleeged to. He
was in the big battle of Drainsville that was
fout with 400 hundred wagons and teams
by a regiment of quartermaters and com

As that famous battle lias never got into
the regular proceedings, Ivea tqind to write
it up that justice may he'lone and the truth
of history vindicated. So mote it be.
