LEGAL TENDER.

That, ordinarily, nothing but gold and silver
should be lawful tender in the payment o.
debts, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, is un-
doubtedly true. Bullion is the only proper
basis for a currency. This is settled com
mon-plaCe, of which nation cannot lose sight
without bankruptcy. But these are very ex.
'raordnary times. We are engaged in a
struggle which is for life or death. While we
should indeed be careful of every sound prin-
ciple ;hat can be conserved, the public safety
IS paramount to every other consideration.
The Government must have money and must
have 1t at once. The public mind seems, too,
70 have settled down upon the conviction that
a large issue OF demand Treasury notes, based
on Suihclent taxation, is the necessary imme-
diate measure. The only serious question ap-
pears 10 be shall these demand notes be mad e
a legal tender!
1t IS said that if the banks had bravely rail-
he'd to the support of the Treasury notes. TAX
ing them freely at par, the legal tender clause
might have been unnecessary. But they set
tie example OF depreciating them, and now it
becomes necessary to sustain them with all
ihe strength Of the Government. The grand
reason which makes this measure necessary is
'hat, at aIihaZards. the demand Treasury notes
'HuSt DC Kept froal depreciation. If not con
'eruble into specie at wiil-which is the only
sound normal condition of currency-thev
""Sl ue powerfully sustained In some other
way There are three methods of support for
,i'em' In the first place they are sustained 10y
Velhg made receivable for all the ordinary
'ues OF the Government. Next, they will be
Iecei'ed IN payment of the heavy direct tax
whleh Congress is about to lay on the country.
Dut N addition TO these there is needed third
po"er-something that viii give the notes a
.'sofous circulation from hand to hand among
M nle community generally. This is accom-
debts
al. IL Is true, however, that the latter provision
S 'n hot be efectual in preventing widespread
-Sdsler, unless the tax be heavy one, and
!eguiariy collected. The creation of such
.sal tender is partly artificial, and needs
SaIleiore itself a powerful support, lse the
asO'or Will take advantage Of the creditor, and
s'i, si nm only ninety or eighty cents on the
C,l'F' heavy tax, however, enables the
.ugsFeFnment .ns to give value for these notes,
s,s. sru II seems only equitable that what the Gov
t,tIueht receives for its dues, all others should
I" We stand or fall with the Government.
No.. bUedlt is our credit, its strength ours. We
a;ipe' therefore, that in this matter, Congress
VII strike boldly and at once.

4 CHANoE.-By reference to our advertising
columns,it will be seen that A. B. Long < Sons,
desire to sell their steam Saw-mil and other
property in Osccola, in this county. Lumber
be taken to market by water railroad,
equally convenient; as the lumber can be run
off the mill to the track of the Tyrone and
CIearield Railroad or on to the bank of Mo-
shannon creek. Persons desirous of going
into the numbering business would do we'll to
examine the property and location; as it pos
sesses, perhaps, more advantages than any other
situation in this county at present.
