Congress should pass a law prohibiting the issue of any bonds whatsoever, ex- cspt those or tue ;yte3i aenominatioD. Confusion of the moet"raI?ebievoB-char-jaeter has arisen every now and then in the market, from the fact tbat after a given ssriss of the flvetwentle has been long closed up, Mr. McOulJoah hes secretly, unexpectedly, and without any notice, issued new bonis, and instead of emitting bonds of the latest denomina tion, lias chosen to print Instead new bonds, bs-arlng yjd dates, and belonging to former issues. Thus, during the years 1337 and lSS3,;bonds were issued from tbs Treasury, tearing thedatesof 16G2, ISfrl, and lfcOS. Suoh an abuse as this cannot longer be. tolerated. Probably there Is not the vestige of an excuse for the sale of six per cent, gold bonds, and at any rate .the continuance of any Implied au thority, for further Issue of bonds of 1562, 1854, 18G5 or 1667, can do onlv rais clilef.

The grounds of this belief, it'is proper to state, however, are not over-strong, and It may not improb ably be the case tbat Congress will de clare tlja Constitution carried, despite its most liigrant and open defeat, &s was done In the e39 or Alabama.

The TForlfi'3 financial writer thus ex pretiiea hia apprehensions of the future- The programme of some of the Repub lican leaders at Washington to strength en tbe financial position of the govern ment by passing an act of Congress to authorize tho iaiue of $25,000,000 more of thrpe percent, certificates and foO, 000,000 more of greenbacks to be held as a reserve, has been very generally dts cuised to-day among business m&. The falling off In the internal revenue re ceipts promises to place theTi-wwury De partment In an embarrassing position for currency, which will necessitate the sale of gold or bonds to obtain currency. The gold balance is much bslow what it ought to bo.and it Is quitecertain tbat no progress can db msde, even in the direc tlon of specie payments, until the Treasu ry Department holds fouror-five times its present amount of gold. That the gold oaiance held by the Government must bo increased by some menus or other, is now acknowledged by all whose opin ions are entitled to any weight, both in and cut of Congress, and tor the Gov ernment and the bar to continue to sell their surplus gold 13 heretofore is a policy which leads in au opposite direc tion tram the road to specie payments. If the Government is forced to sell its gold or bonds to rake currency, aa It cer tainly will be this spring, from the fail ing ell' in the revenue, what reasonable hope is there of having any policy which leads to specie payments ? The issue of sta.iw.uuu more or tnree per cenr. cer tificates would probably obviate the ne cesslty for any further Ealea of gold or nanus, ana the S60.ooo.uuo reserve of greenbacks would give the Government! power to olivet any locking up or green backs by stock jobbers, and tho enctpeer- log of a tight money market by artifi cial means, to the great loss and Injury of tne mercantile community. - ABOUT SERVANT?.

Perhaps the best servants we have had n-America during the psst twentv veare were tha black eUvss in tho South : but they were exceedingly lazy, wasteful, and expensive, so that I have often heard a Southern planter declare that he was the real slrtve forced to work for his ne groes. Jiur, thirty or isrty years ago, there were a set or servants, mostly blacks, attached to Knickerbocker fami lies in New York and New Jersey, who were as near perfection as men and wo men can become. Those were the days af Dutch kitchens, Dutch dishes, Dutch neatness, and Dutch hocsswifery, now long past, and never to return. " With thorn faded sway tne old faithful race of servants, who honored and respected their employers, and were honored and respected by all. Occasionally one hap pens upon a descendant of this race, with all the virtues of tho good old stock ; but the accident is very rare. I remember one or them now a negress named Diana with whos9 culinary art no French ciok c;uld compete, and with whose merits as a Oman few whiter women cculd compare. Sho lived only to show us what treasures we had lost. Bat the English servants, at the best. are precisely like these Knickerbocker marvels. At their worst, they are so much better than the present race of servants in America, that any American who values his comfort more than bis deimocracy, would do well to exchange countries for this reason alone. Never theless, we are right to flatter ourselves that we have no good servants because obour democracy. It is not pleasant to think cf thousands of young men and wprnon who grow up aa servants In pri vate houses with no ambition beyond ex changing their domestic servitude for the public servitude of a little landlord stdp and landladyship in a minor tavern. In America a coachman may win bis wav into Congress, and. a servant girl my mBrry a fqture President. If we must have either disoomf jrt or f-.ildalism, let us chocae discomfort. But sometimes when I watch the English servants at their work. H occurs to me, that, as thete is nothing degrading la hqusehold service, and as Amerisana pay vqry dearly for it, surely it ought to be more honestly arjd ably performed, even by embryo Conureasmea. and the possi ble wives of Presidents. If any remain ing Pjgram object to this sentiment aa unrspoblicsu, 4"'H mako it Wronger by suggesting that we should have in Amer ica stricter laws to compel our future rulers to give ns fairer work for our fair wages, Wo learn with much pleasure that tho negotiations for the settlement of tho Alabama claims, between our own arid the English Governments, have bqen brought to a close, and a treaty on the basis of the original protocol has bsen signed by Reverdy Johnson and Earl Clarendon, the Foreign Secretary, If we are not misinformed, the condi tions of this treaty are much more fa vorable to tho interests of this country than has been generally supposed.
