THE WEEKLY ERA. jr ? ' t 'or f r a- I 9 ' J: F f Of I JYS. 1 r ERA, Jt and Plans in 'enco to it. ,tor o tfis Era: fa m porta nee of a proper, wise mcnt of the financial question, to be conceded fully. While some A. 1 .4 measures nave Deen uKen no sus tain the honor of the State, and its credit, it is to be regretted that the effect of some statements and reso lutions, as well as the influence of delay and neglect, have been to in flict woful damage upon the State credit, and to cast a stain upon her good name: moreover, there is dan ger, lest the language of censure, should become marked, even to the expression of condemnation and scorn. The injury inflicted upon her credit, may be said to be ex tended even to other States, or there is danger that it will be. If one class of bonds are depreciated by any action, other classes also, suffer. If any State repudiates any of its oblicrations, all its securities are, by the rules of the Stock Ex rhance. ifrnominiouslv banished from the Board. Capital is prover bially sensitive and apprehensive ; and nothing should ever be said or done, which can. furnish a ground for distrust. It is discreditable that, in any clear case, it should be necessary for creditors to have re course to the Courts where munici pal i ties and States were concerned. Civic Corporations should be mod els of inteerritv and honor. Where would be the credit of the City of - - 0 New York, for instance, if its obli gations were slighted and dishonor ed, because thieves and plundering speculators were concerned in fos teringsome of its obligations upon it? It is, oi course, very unfortu nate, if the proceeds of State credit are subsidized, in any measure, to their own exclusive advantage by reckless speculations in Railroad or other schemes: but why should the holders in good faith of,. aid-bonds be made to suffer for the mistakes of legislators and for the faults of its t agents; and solemn constitutional oblicrations bo set aside ? One of the cases bearing upon the one in question is that, in the suit of Mc Kee versus Vernon County, Mo., in which it was decided that ' no fail ure in the performance of duty on the part of the officers (of the R. R. Co., can affect the rights of bona fide holders, and reference is made -to Kcnnicott vs. Wayne, and other decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court. The liability to be sued for the enforcement of payment is, as Mr. Reverdy Johnson states, a ne- cesary appendage of the right tf contract ; and hence the provissions the Constitution of the U. S. in ticle 3. Section 2nd, which the enth amendment claims or af- in some measure, to restrict. i regards the ability of the State charge her obligations,! t is to be ved that the estimates of prop- and income are usually much r than the facts of the cae will rant, various projects of se- cirring the result desired have been sGggested : one is the Congression al aid plan, which has already met with considerable opposition from the press, and is not likely to be successful. To render some of the State bonds a lein upon the State bonds might prove a means of re lief. The scaling-down process and refunding of the public debt at low er figures, (say 15 million,) with a sliding scale of interest averaging six per cent, has, also, been suggest ed, and has, doubtless, gained many adherents, either as it regards ihe whole or a portion of the plans. A portion of the debt might also, yth consent ofthe holders, be made rmanent loan ; of which, only Nterest would have to be raised, hereafter, some time 1 he Legislature should objection' to the re l"r if executed with Nh? bond-holders," (jr. will addsuch ak'ness to the n As II todfc obs& I cult achievement ever to raise it to its proper height again. The cap italist may say, once a special ex cuse for reduction was put forth ; may not thealledgednecesity again soon arise ? - ' X. Y. Spend. The Dollar ire ont We have to calculate pretty close at our house, you know : and the whole family are called into coun cil when any important expendi ture is to be made. Well, the other evening we were considering the small remnant of the quarters sal ary, and Mrs. Dobbs was trying to reckon how it could be made to cover everything. There was her dress, and a new coat for me, and a new carpet for the best parlor, and a new hat for our (at present) un- married daughter, besides a great many other thintrs, with which I will not occupy your valuable space. The main point was the new dress, and Mrs. Dobbs was thinking of this shade, and scrutinizing that patern, wishing she could buy them all, doubting if she could buy any of thPin 1 and our faces trrew longer a th snirv shorter, prrapnr.lv. uh r ;,r ho irQr.irot; Willi ui iiij 't'I'.7 nuMiiunwiii-i t en,-,i in hQr .

You never spent a dollar in your life that you didn't feel at least a doubt as to whether you had spent it wisely. You wished you had bought something else. 13ut the wish was vain ; you couldn't make a change. The dollar that you spend you can spend but once, but the dollar that you don't spend you can spend a hundred times. You can buy a hundred things with it every time you go out.

Mrs. Dobbs looked as though she didn't know just how to answer me but at the same time as though she wasn't quite convinced. Presently she eaid : 41 Well, doctor, I don't know that I see through it all ; but no doubt you are right, ior you are a great deal wiser than I am. And so we will iro on that principle.
