TnE CU2REycY QUEsTIoy.-A writer Tor the
Sacramento Bee, signing himself ''Qaicn S1be,
thus discusses the currency question 1t IS ad-
mittcd By every person engaged in any business
or profession til the mixed currency W. now
possess is great evil ; that it Injuries credit ;
destroys confidence; prevents loans prohibits
improvements makes money s;arcc increases
rate Of interest, and creates general S'agnatloh
throughout the State.
Is there a remedy? The Specific Contract
law was expected to have at least been 4 paili-;-
tive, but the present condition OF the State shows
that it is a failure. 1t goes too far OF not Tar
enough. It relates only to . contract or ooliga-
ton in writing for the direct payment of money
Nineteen-;wcntcihs Of all monetary transactions
in the State are not affected by it. The mcrcAani
who sells goods, the lahorcr who hires oat the
sweat OF his brow in fact. everybody WHO does
not take from the purchaser or hiref written
obligation to pay in coin. is at the mercy OF the
debtor The natural laws Of trade OF course
provide for this increased risk by increased
prices, and we have, in measure, the conSc-
qucnces Of voluminous paper currency without
any of its advantages. Again, ask, Is there
remedy, and if SO, what is it
Herein is set forth all the evils resulting from
a mixed currency and The Specific Contract law
We can see no remedy except in making green
backs our standard currency, and gold pur-
chasablc commodity. Do tais and all the evils
portrayed in the foregoing article will be done
away with, in our opinion.

bat owing to the thic., brush they could not
ascertain cx tc;iy where the camp WAS, and were
irving to snrround it. when they discovered two
Indians coming toward them with guns on their
shoulders, seeming to have been on guard duty,
and just coming in. The men were ordered to
make ready to fire, when they discovered that
one was white man, dressed in military clothes,
and were ordered to hold. The white man hay

The bucks were scapcd by the tame Indians,

The officers and soldiers deserve great credit

where wounded Indians had escaped. One fine
horse, with new Spanish saddle, was taken
supposed to belongto the white man. Also three
