Four More Free State Mem NIur
GereSl.

1t is strange, passing strange, that the
citizens of Kansas have SO long permitted
Hamilton and his gang of murderers to
redden the soil Of that Territory with the
blood of Free State men. The cold
blooded assassinations in the vicinity of
Fort Scott cry aloud for vengeance, and
later intelligence from Southern Kansas
is that on the night of the / 1th of June,
four more Free State men were killed on
the Little Usage, by the band of Missouri
desperadoes under the lead of Hamilton,
Titus and Rockaway.
The men killed were peaceable farmers,
named Andrews, Allen, Thompson, and
one, name not learned. Montgomery had
advised them to leave, and had pointed
out their danger, but they said they did
not meddle in atfrays, and the Missouri
ans would not molest them. Montgomery
and his force started in pursuit of the muir
derers as soon as the news of this fresh
outrage reached him, and it is hoped that
he may come up with and administer JUST
ice to the rullians.- GeOeland Leader.

Lcgai TcEasacr.

The question of what is "legal ten
der % is so often asked, that we have
prepared an abstract showing what is legal
tender:
In the absence of any special agreement,
the only payment Or legal tender known
to the law is by cash. The tender should
properly be in cash, and must be SO, if that
is required. A tender of Il larger sum
than is due with a requirement of change
or Of the balance, is not good. A lawful
tender, and payment of the money into
Court, is good defense to al action for the
debt. But the creditor may break down
this defense by proving that he demanded
the money of the debtor, and the debtor
refused to give it subsequently to the
tender.
Legal tender of money varies in differ
ent countries. Thus, in England, Bank
of England notes, (exoept by the bank it
self, and gold are legal tender for any
amount. Silver to the amount Of forty
shillings only.
In tho United States the gold and silver
coins of the United States were made legal
tender by the act of January 18, 1897,
viz: That dollars, half dollars, quarter
dollars, dimes and half dimes shall be q
legal tender, according to their nominal
value, for any sum whatever; the gold
eagle at ten dollars, the half-eagle at five
dollars, and the quarter eagle for two and
a half dollars. BY the act of 1649, tho
coinage of the double eagle, value twenty
dollars, and of the gold dollar was authori
zed, both of which are legal tender for any
amount. Owing to the reduced weigh
of the new silver coins authorized by
Congress, Sd March, 1851 and 81 st Feb
ruary. 1858 they are no longer legal ten
der except in small sums, viz:
Three cent pieces (Act March, 1851 and 1889 SO,3
Half-dolors, lS2 grains each. u Feb, 1851
Dimes, $40 - , $50
Hnlf-dimes, 1928 q
By the act of February, 1887, "al
former acts authorizing the currency o
foreign gold and silver coins, and declaring
the same legal tender in payment of debt
are hereby repealed"
