I hardly he pot to the necessity of adver tising for subscriptions to the new loan. 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.

[Uestion. 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 that the senate will accept the bill.

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. Macxkt. the California bonaam man, sent Pig’s Fat Jonas back to tha'tenara. Jones is quite an ornament to oar federal legislature.

The bill to reimburse the college of William and Mary, in Vir ginia, was taken up, discussed at great 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 sion-arrears bill was discussed. It was posted by a rote of 44 to 4. Messrs. Gordon and HOI voted “aye." We have already explained the provisions of this hill Mr. Hill obtained unanimous con sent to introduce a bill for the relief of Samuel L Gostin. In the bouse, Mr. Smith presented the petition of citizens of Colquitt and Worth counties for a post route from Moan trie to Ty-Ty via J. B. Norman’s house and Warrior Ridge. CHURCH CHIMES. —The little contribution salvers handed around in churches are apt to come back rather nickel-plated. —A Methodist minister in Essex county, Massachusetts, was promised a salary of $400. By digging claius and making shoes he earned $200 last year, and his flock withheld that amount from his stipend. —There is a novelty in Chicago ih the form of a Chinese Sunday-school cla«s.

Everything, from su|*erb jeweled crucifixes to empty bottles, is of fered at the sale, which is semi-public, under the superintendence of Monsignor Pericoli. Ever article is priced very low. —The Baptists have in thc United States 24,499 churches and 14,954 ordginpd minis ters. During the year there were 102,736 admission? by baptism and 40,040 by letter, while 13,257 (tersons were restored to mem- lxTiliip. The total membership is 2,102,- 034. —It is cited as a curious fact tliat the pub lic affairs of England, a Protestant country, are directed by a Jew; that in Catholic France the moat important de|»artruents of the government are directed by Protestants, and tliat the minister of foreign a flairs Turkey is a Christian. —Ninety-nine Unitarian churches are without pastors, and not more than twentv- five of them are able, savs the year-book, to support a minister. ‘^Twenty has given no signs of life for several years, and are probably dead.” The number of ministers in the denomination is 401. —The Unitarian year-1 >ook. for 1879. ports three hundred and fifty-eight societies, an increase of five.
