SiiiK-i-- Allow us the use of your paper for the 'purpose of explaining brielly a few points of our proposition regarding the purchase of 000 per cent, gold bonds made to the I'mancc committees of the Fifteenth Lugishiture, so fully analyzed by your correspondent ii: his letter from Austin, dated May JM. Your correspondent says "If the bonds are to bring 'X cents flat, Ihc proposilion should explicitly mate it tkut way." We never contemplated to buy the bonds at ninety-live cents flat, but offered to pay ninety-five cents aud accrued interest for the whole amount of 000; nor do we consider sufll- cient to meet the immediate requirements of tho State. We arc willing and prepared to place $100,000 or $150,000, or more, into the trcatury, on signing of contract, provided our money so put in bears per gold, interest can oaly be accounted for on thc ground that he is either totally oblivious or in- dilercnt to Ihe popular demand for nu elevation of the character of ihe public service.
