The merits and demerits of the Funding Bill, emphasized as it now is by the panic in Wall street, is the one absorbing topic of discourse here, as it must be throughout the monetary centers of the world. The fact that no nation upon the earth ever has been able to float a loan at so low a rate as three per cent. has gone for naught in the ‘ fatuous determination of the dominant party in Congress to force the loan upon the Na— tional Banks and the people. The Republi— can minority said, if you will insist upon a loan at so low a rate of interest and compel the National Banks to accept the same, then strike Off the present tax on their circulation so that those institutions upon which you mainly rely to float this loan. will not be forced to either call in their circulation or wind up business altogether. Mr. Bayard, their Senate chairman of finance, urged this. Maney other cool and sensible Democrats in both House, who are more solicitious for the business prosperity of the country than for a possible chance to embarrass the incoming Republican administration, have urged the same course. So that it has become clear to the mind of Secretary Sherman and all other sensible financiers here, that the determina— tion to force this bill through Congress, with its obnoxious fifth and sixth sections, is due to a concerted plan on the part of the Demo- cratic madcaps for the deliberate purpose of destroying the National Banking System, which has proved such a source of populari- ty to the @publican party. The resistance the bill has provoked, and the millions upon millions of circulation its prospect of passage has alre y forced the National Banks to ask the Tr my to allow them to withdraw, is coolly pronounced by these Democratic financiers as a menace and threat, manufac— tured and exaggerated purposely in order to intimidate'thesc profound legislators in Con- gress. This whole scheme and performance, it would seem, must convince every sensible business man of the nation Of the utter inca- , pacity of the ruling majority in Congress to legislate for the public weal. At this writing the bill is still hanging in suspense between the two Houses. Some predict it will finally fail in its shuttlecock race between House and Senate; others predict its passage and that the President will' neither sign nor veto it, but let it stand as another colossal monument of Democratic blundering. Mr. Sherman has donc’all in his power to allay excitement. and avert a panic and resulting business paralysis, by putting large sums of money upon the market, but this can afford but temporary relief, and the gravity of the situation will increase, it is fully believed, until Congress itself withdaws its present menace of disaster, by changing or defeating _this bill, which notoriously was prepared for partisan purposes. Last Thursday week, Senator Platt of our State, delivered a short and pithy speech anent the Funding Bill, and prefaced his plea for a three and one-half per cent. bond with the maxim, "It is better to be safe than to be sorry.“ In the light of what has been transpiring all‘thc past week, how like the words of prophetic wisdom sound these sentences from Mr. Platt’s remarks, deliver~ ed in the Senate on the 17th of February: “I think Senators who now suppose that this loan can be negotiated at a lower rate of interest than 3.}.- pcr cent. will find that they are mistaken, because they fail to see that just in advance of us is a condition Of things in which it will be vastly harder to fund this loan than it is at the present hour. The advocates of a 3 per cent. Interest or a 3% per cent. interest look only, as It seems to me, at the present moment. Let me suggest to them that we are to—day riding on the top wave of a wild speculation, and that they and that others seem to lose sight of that fact and to suppose that it is but just the set- ting in of the tide. It is always so. Past experience must teach every cool and level— headed man that the rise in values and the enormous volume of business and speculation have reached, or nearly reached their main- mum, and that there must come, and that not very remotely, I fear, indeed, before this funding operation shall be set i_n motion, reverses which will bring depression,.a fall in values, a fall in prices, if not panic and ruin and disaster.” A little further on in his argument Senator Platt continued in the same vein of conspic— uous, honest, common sense:— “This nation differs from all other nations in that its people are fully determined that its debt shall be paid to the last dollar in _the shortest time compatible with a taxation which shall not be too rigorous and burden- some. In this determination and the efforts thus far made may be found one great cause of our unparalleled credit, may be found the secret of our advancing power- and greatness among the nations of the earth. I cannot agree that'there is nothing else to be thought of except how cheaply the Government may be able to borrow its money. We want not only to' float this loan, but we want that-it shall stay floated, and that is more important than that we shall at first be able to place it -—more important to the people, more impor- tant to the business interests of this country, _ more important to its future prosperity, .its credit, and its greatness. The question which wise stalesmanship should consider and answer is this: What rate of interest . ought the Government, having in view the best interests of all the people, to pay on this loan ? not who“ is the cheapest rate of in~ forest which it can Obtain. 9;. - it is '39 i «What is to be the business rate of interest in this country? What is a fair rate of inter- est for the Govornmcnt to pay P There is such a thing as a fair rate of interest, and there is such a thing as an unfair rate of in— terest . and I hold it to be just as bad in kind, if not in degree, fer a government to coax or coerce people to lend it money at a rate of interest which is too low as for the money- lender to take' from the borrower a rate Of interest which is too high. . What is a fair rate of interest? It is cer— tainly not the highest rate which the lender would take if he could get it. It may not be the lowest rate at which the Government can induce the lender to part with his money. i ‘X‘ Ill , Ik 1'! Whom does the Government desire to take this loan? We are told that it is to be a pop- ular loan, that the people at large are to take it, that the bill has been framed, especially for that purpose, that as far as possible it be kept out of the hands.of the capitalists holding it in large blocks and distributed among the thrifty, humble people of this land. If we were dealing with the money-lenders of Europe the question would be entirely different; but. we are dealing with our own ople; we are dealing with women, with . Echildren, with those whose property is in the hands of guardians and trustees, with the farmer who has laid aside temporarily a little money, with the merchant who has a little balancewhic‘n he desires to invest in a secur- ity which shall be not only absolutely safe, but’which he may convert at any moment without loss. Do we stand—if 1 may use the word—jewing with this class of people to see_whether this rate of interest shall be 3;, or 3} or 3 per cent.? 'We must remember that the Government will save by cheapening the rate of interest this class of peOple of whom I have spoken will to a. great extent ' lose. * * e is a Who in fact is to take and holdthis loan ? It is said that the banks are largely to take it, and the inference is that it is no consequence at how low the rate of interest, you may compel the banks to take these bonds and be satisfied. I have no interest in national banks ; I do not own a dollar of stock in a bank, and therefore I may say that I have no patience with the sentiment abroad in this country which cries “down with the national banks.” We should not have a country today if the banking system had not been adopted and put in operation; we should not have a pros. porous business today; we should not have good times to—day, if it had notbeen for that wise system of banking—the Wisest and the best in my judgment that exists on the face of the earth—a system which furnishes ab- solutesecurity to the bill-holder. No man in this broad land ever lost one dollar upon the bills of a national bank and no man ever Will. * * * * When you consider the tax uponnational— bank circulation, which it is safe to say, wul not be repealed by this Congress, It is idle to suppose that the banks W111 take 3 per cent. bonds in place ,of the bonds which they now ‘ hold to the extent which they now hold them. They may not entirely refuse to take. them ; but they will refuse to that extent which Will bring upon us a sudden and Violent contrac- tion of the circulation of this country. Let any Senator ask his conservative banking friend, as’every Senator has such a friend, in whom he places implicit confidence, and . he 3:;3; will tell him that even 3%.pcr cent. interest the bonds held new by national banks will not be fully replaced by the new bonds; and the only thing whichmakes me satisfied with the feature of Treasury note& this bill is the fact that I believe there the a sudden and violent contraction of the‘piational-bank circulation. - ‘ . up u 1 Pi =f= '1‘ I do not believe that the business men of this country desire a loan to be placed lower than 3; per cent., and I think they would prefer that it should be 4 per cent. rather than less than 3%. This Government, if the bond is really worth more than par at 35 percent. will reap its advantage in the increased _prc- mium; the Government will lose nothing." Few, if any, speeches have been made which'more aptly go to the pith and marrow of the Funding Bill issues. Its terse and incisive wisdom has added to the reputation already won and accorded our modest and unassuming senator, as. being the possessor of broad and exceptionally practical common sense views of statesmanship. APPORTIONMENT. After an all night’s session of the House with its usual school boy nonsense and worse, Gen. Hawley proposed a compromise so as to_ break the deadlock. But the chances daily diminish of. the Republican minority allowing the cunningly devised democratic bill to become a law at this session. NEW LONDON. ‘ Col. Waite made a strenuous but unsuc- cessful effort to get $25,000 added to the Sundry Civil Bill for the purpose of erect- ing a Marine Hospital at the New London Navy Yard site. traumas: BANK. - Judge Phelps got Speaker Randall to re- cognize him for the purpose of calling up and passing Senator Platt‘s Bill changing the name of the First National-Bank of West simply—First National Bank of Meriden. DEAD. Senator Matt Carpenter, and Err-Governor Henry D. Cook died here with-in an hour of each other. Both were deservedly noted men and warmly endeared to all who knew 'them. It is hoped and believedhere, that Senator Cameron, whose term expires March 4th,will be elected by the Wisconsin Legislature, now in session to fill the vacancy. The Constitution provides that such a vacancy can be filled on the second Tuesday after a notice of a vacancy is communicated to the legislature. It will hence be the 8th of March before a Senator can be elected. Ex~Mayor Wallach, a former politician of local fame, is momentarily expected to pass away. A sing-ular fact is that Senator Car- penter, Governor Cook and Mayor Wallach were warm, social friends and all three succumbed to the same fatal malady, “Bright’s disease.” rsnsoxans. Hon. John I. Mitchell, whose term ex- piresas member of the House on the 4th, is the fortunate compromise Senator elect from, Pennsylvania. He is a man of ability and independence, but a stalwart Republican. Vice President-elect Arthur has been here the past week, as has Stewart L. Woodford. The latter came on the invitation of the Rosco-Conkling Club, to respond to the pres- entation of a gorgeous silk national flag, the gift of the, Senator to theclub. The city is already filling up with the crowds coming to witness the Inauguration. Mrs. Hayes gave her final reception this afternoon. . . ‘ , Mrs. Senator Platt’s mother is here on a visit. . . Hon. Roger Averill, Commodore S. A. Garner, S. B. Little. F. W. Russell, John Hapson, George St. J. Levens, Mr. Wilcox, (of firm of Wilcox & Hall) and daughters of New Haven, are here. The obsequies of Hon. Fernando Wood Will be held in the House of Representatives at 3 p. m., to—morrow. . The President has approved the bill con- cerning the boundary lines between New York and Connecticut. 1 . Garfield is being bothered, too, about the inauguration arrangements. Mr. Lincoln was asked which he preferred of two pro- grams. Throwing one leg over the back of his chair, the sensible backwoodsman told a “story”: “When I was practicing law in Illinois a client of mine, a peculiar sort of a fellow, was brought before the court, and the judge asked him : ‘Do you swear or affirm ?’ ‘Mr. Judge,’ my client replied, ‘I don’t care a d—-n which. As Ever, 3. m..— Washington's birthday passed OE very quietly in this vicinity: The G. A. R. honor- ed the day, in the city, with salutes, and danced in the evening. The Borough Tem- perance people indulged in a supper, and the Democratic Phalanx made quite a fine dis« play Of hunting from their headquarters. The GAZETTE flag, which has heretofore flaunted first andhighest on such occasions, was not raised simply because it had become so badly tattered and torn in the public ser— vice that it was unfit to display. Returning Circulation. The circulation of the Fairfield County N ntional Bank is $300,000. On Saturday the Bank surrendered $130,000 of this circu— lation. The other Banks in town have taken no action in the matter, and will probably keep on as they are. » W Bank of' Norwalk. Some two years ago this Bank reduced its capital $60,000. It has taken the Govern- ment all this time to collect and retire 54,- 000 of its circulation. At this rate how long would it take the bank to retire its entire circulation ? - The petition of Judge Stuart for a new trial of his case against the Bank, was re- ported upon adversely by the J udiciarv com- mittee, and he was granttd permission to withdraw. m That was a remarkably pleasant sociable held at the Congregational parsonage on Wednesday evening last. The attendance was quite general, and all seemed .to thor— oughly enjoy the‘ occasion. The novelty of commencing at 7 and closing at 10 was a strong femre. It is intended to fellow up this party with a series of ‘ipic-nic” enter—- tainments, at which each lady is expected to bring either a plate of sandwiches, meat, bis- cuit or cake, and the gentlemen to contribute ten cents each. m Huzel‘ Kirke. The improvements at the‘Opera House will be completed this week, and Manager Stan- ley announces a re-opening for next week Monday evening, for which occasion he has succeeded in engaging the Hazel Kirke Com- pany, who will produce that popular play in their best manner. As all lovers of the drama know this play has been produced at the ele- gant Madison Square Theatre in New "York for more than one year, and is still being played there while this company is traveling through the country playing only in leading towns, under ‘hc same management. It By their patronage of this play, we trust our citizens will so encourage Manager Stanley that he will feel justified in. engaging other firstclass companies to visit Nerwalk.‘ Fred. Scarles, who was landlord at Roton Point last season, was up before Judge Stuart, on Saturday, charged with violating the liq? uor law. He was found guilty on several counts, and fined $40 for keeping a place where liquor was reputed to be sold ; $50 for selling on Sunday; 5350 for keeping a sa- loon open on Sundays for the sale. of liquors. He gave bonds in the sum of $300 Thos. 0.

An order issued by Postmaster General Maynard, under date of Feb. 21, is of special interest to merchants and business men gen- erally. It revokes the former ruling of the Department permitting the sending of bills and invoices. unsealed, at the rate of one cent, and hereafter such matter will be charged letter rate. This regulation will subject to regular letter rates a vast amount of mail matter partly printed and partly written, such as bills, vouchers, insurance policies, checks, drafts and the like.

Register has the following fa- vorable notice of Joe Murphy and his com— pany, which are to appear at Music Hall on Saturday evening : Joseph Murphy and his excellent company performed the “Kerry Grow” at the New Haven Opera House to an audience that crowded it to the vestibule. Mr. Murphy’s “Dan O’Hara" is the. very best Irishman on the stage,for the reason that he abandons the commonly accepted rollicking“ blade type and presents an open— hearted, continental, witty, village Irish lad, who wins your sympathies in spite of yourself. The support was above the average of travelling companies, among others Mr. Murray Woods, who'se humorous conception of “O’Drive,” the sneaking attor- ney, was very relishable. The realistic scene in the blacksmith shop and the flight of the trained pigeons from the races were attractive'features of the drama. _,____.._ The sad news comes to us from New Ha- venof the sudden death of Mrs. William H. Ells. She was married in that city only eight: months ago, and at the time of her death her young husband was at work in Washington. - A correspondent of- the New Haven Com-fer says :-—The distinguishing features Of this lady whose death we record were such as to inspire sentiments of the most heartfelt sorrow at her untimely exit. Unknown to fame, yet .she possessed those sterling qualities of heart which endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. Pos- sessing a bright and happy disposition, and endowed with that rare gift, a beautiful voice for singing, her society was often sought by those who loved to hear the songs of Zion. Having a calm and abiding trust in her Sa- vior, she was one of those rare spirits who was willing to perform the little duties 0 life, trusting Him to lead her step by step. When in health she was rarely absent from the sanctuary. The class meeting was her especial delight, and her testimony for Jesus, given with that simple, child-like confidence, showed her faith to be matured beyond her years. She was one of whom it could , be ,lruly said the angels loved. She has gone‘ rom us to join the glorified host to sing re- deeming love.‘ The memory of her life will not soon be forgotten, and the cheerful trust in her Savior will ever be an incentive to holy living to those who knew her best. Court Decisions. A decision has been rendered in the case of Jerry Donovan as. the selectmen of Hunt- ington tried a few days ago. The town vot~ ed license at the last election but when Don- ovannpplied to the selectmen for a license they refused and said they would not recom- mend any one. He brought suit against them by writ of mandamus to compel them to grant his application, and' Judge Sanford new orders the mandamus issued. In the course of his remarks Judge Sanford said the selectmen had no right-to go contrary to the vote of the town and must recommend as many suitable persons as the trade demands. In the two libel suits of Thomas R. Lees as. -W. R. Palmer, of Westport, editor of the Democrat, judgment was given for the plain- tiff to recover $350 and costs in each. m w - Library Benefit. An evening of dramatic Readings, Recita- tions, &c. , will be given in the lecture room of the First Congregational church, on Wed- nesday, March 2d, commencing at 8, o'clock.

Since the stock of' this company has been placed on the stock list of the stock board of New York, several sales of the stock have n reported, and in consequence thereof many rumors have been circulated with ref— erence to such sales; most, if not all of them, From what infor- mation we have been able to obtain we think we are justified in saying , that the principal owners have not sold out, that the stock has not been sold to a connecting or competing road, but that the sales that have been made are purely for investment, and' we believe the purchasers have made a good thing by their purchases. We are informed that the road earned last year over and above all or- dinary expenses, more than ten per cent.,and that the earnings so far the current year, from Nov,1, 1880 to Feb. 1; 1881, show quite a hantfiome gain over last year. Those best posted believe that the road can earn hand- some dividends in future. The main track, except about two and one-half miles, is now laid with steel rails, and the road bed, equip- ments, depots, &c., are all first class. w Tire Supper Season. The Supper given by the Reform Club, at the Opera House, was quite largely attended on Tuesday eIsning, and was repeated the next evening.

The‘Supper and Fair given at Music Hall, by. the First Methodist Society, on Wednes— day and Thursday evenings, was remarkably successful.

Dr. Lounsberry, who came here from Mount Kisco with the intention of opening a dental ofiice' in the rooms over Stanley’s news office, and concerning whom disgraceful re- ports were published in several of the New YOrk papers, as stated in our last, has moved away again bag and baggage. He came back 3- work of packing, stating that he was going back to Mount Kisco "to live it down." A gentleman who is well acquainted in that vi - the stories concerning him, as published, are commonly reported there as true. He speaks of Mr. Wickson, the husband, as a highly re- spectable man, and says that his wife has heretofore borne a good reputation. The Mount Kisco Weekly also reports the affair papers, and also contains an advertisement signed by Mr. Wicksou warning people against trusting his wife on his account as he will pay no debts of her contracting. m Closing Out.

The storm that has'been threatening the money and stock markets ever since the funding bill was passed and the banks began the withdrawal of circulation broke Friday, and there was more excitement and anxiety in Wall street than there has been before since the panic of 1873. Money was alarm. ingly stringent early in' the day, and in con- sequence stocks declined sharply. Secretary Sherman came to the rescue with an order to purchase $10,000,000 of bonds, payment to be made for them at once. and for a time there was less ' ' but later the panicky feeling .wes revwed, and brokers began throwing stocks overboard more rapidly ’ than ever, so that not only were the lowest prices of'the day made in the last hour, but' the lowest price for many months. There were nevertheless, no failures. There was corresponding" excitement at. Boston, Phila delphia, and other important money centers. The state of the Money Market. A magical change was affected yesterday by information that the odious and unjust fifth section would be stricken from the Funding bill. While there were many doubt- ers, and greet feverishness throughout the day in consequence, the prevailing opinion among Democrats as wall as Republicans, in Wall street, was that Congress would abandon its coercive policy entirely. It was also stated with great.- confidence, by persons who had unusual OppOrtunities of informa— tion, that the President had determined that he would not sign the so-called Funding bill if it came to him with the objectionable section. Money come into the Streetfreely from many quarters, and the danger of monetary stringency was believed to be over —provided, of course, the results at Wash ingtou answered expectations—N. Y.
