20 The burden of the Democrats song
seems to be, that we made threats against
against the persons of the editors, and
threats that we would not allow them to
''vindicate the cause of their party" The
first charge we ask them to substantiate by
publishing the testimony upon which they
base the charge; the proof, if it can be ad-
duced. will 60 very far to justify them in
the course they have taken. 1t seems to
us. that if the latter threat had been made,
which we deny, it would hardly deserve re-
ference to. from any man possessing ordin-
airy self-respect. We have said that we
would defend our party from the unjust
and ungenerous aspersions of its enemies,
and that we would defend ourselves if call

might use- We repeat it here.

for. all over the Union, to pervert facts. and
keep hidden the real cause of the distur-
Dances which so unhappily mark the elec-

vides TINT all quarters eghths. and sixteenths Of
the Spanish milled or Mexican dollar shall ba re-

twenty, ten. and five cents, and made legal ten
ders for all sums not exceeding five dollars: and
that these fractions of the dollar or foreign coin
when received shall not again be paid out, but he
re coined. We fear that this law will be found
ofevery slow and uncertain operation in relieving
our currency of the dsigured, fractional foreign
coin now in circulation. So long as that coin
will pass elsewhere for the value it represents.
but little will find its way into tho mint at the
depreciation of twenty per cent. placed upon it
by the bill. An additional provison prescribing
the circulation of the coin at "a higher rate than
paid for it by the United States, seems necessary
in order to give the law full efficiency.

In the SENATE. amongst the business worth y
of special notice, we may name the bill reported
from the Military Committee toprovide for tho
payment of property lost or destroyed in the mil
itary service of the United States, and bill ma
king an appropriation for continuing and oom-
pletng the Improvement of the Red River Raft.
The bill to provide the Deficiencies in the appro.
priations for the service of the pre- sen fiscal year
was passed, Whilst it was under consideration
proposition to appropriate fifty thousand dol
lars TO establish military post in Minnesota for
the protection of settlers aud emgrants gave
rise to a dscursive debate. in which opinions
were interchanged as to the true policy of deal.
ing with the Indians, whether by the moral effect
OF military preparation or by kindness. The pro-
position was not agreed to- Tho renovation Of
the bridges across the Potomac and Eastern
Branch also afforded theme for debate in which
the obligation of the National Government AS
proprietor of these structures was eanvassed
with freedom. The result was an appropriation
of five thousand dollars for the repair of two
bridges across the Eastern Branch, and the re-
lection of the item of six thousan dollars for the
Long Bridge. 1t was urged with much force that
the Government having become the proprietor Of
this work and declared it highway was bound
to keep it in order for the safe transit of the peo
| pie who had occasion to use it in their commerce
| with Washington. Besides, it is now the mail
| route, and for the last two months the only pass
way for travel North and South. As matt ers
stand at present there is authority to take toll
to defray the expense Of repairing the bridge
and the pressure vi ice has rendered it un-
safe as public highway.
| In the House OF REPRESENTATIVES, bill con-
corning the punishment af the United States
prisoners by confinement in the pententiaries of
the States gave rise to Il long discussion, inyolv
ing questions of jurisdiction. The bill was pass
cd. The House then resumed the consideration
ct the bill to define and secure the rights of yo
tiers in the city of Washington,and prescribe the
duties of commissioners of elections. The House
refused to sustain the previous question. and va.
rlous questions of order being raised, an adiorun-
ment took place before decision was made. -
