The World objects to that feature OF the
Senate Finance Committees report which limits
to S4OOOOOOOO the quantity Of greenbacks
which the Government may issue as a means
of enabling the holders of consolidated bonds
to convert them into grcenbacks at pleasure.
1t claims that the power OF conversion should
be unlimited. i. e., the holders of bonds should
have the power to convert the whole national
debt into greenbacks if they wish. Of course
no greater amount of bonds can be made con
vertbe into greenbacks at pleasure than there
are greenbacks into which they may be con-
verted. The proposition of The World, there
fore. is, in effect that the Treasury Department
have power to issue $4,000 100000 of greenbacks.
The World claims that the country will not
seek to obtain more greenbacks than it needs
A currency redeemabe in gold might regulate
itself. An irredeemable currency, however, has
no self-regulating quality, but tends constantly
to imitation, and never toward contraction

ABRAHAM LINcoLS.--The final YER
dict upon the character and public
services of Mr.. Lincoln, will not, we
apprehend, be very fiattering. He
was not one of those men who made
circumstances, but was made by cir
cumstances. He suffered himself to
be moulded like clay in the hands OF
extreme Radicals. 1t was his hands
alone that broke down the barriers OF
the federal Constitution, and depriy-
ed American citizens of those safe
guards which the wisdom of our faith.
ers created. It was he who taught us
the mysteries of martial law; of lille,
gal arrests; ola suspended hd6eas
corpus of drum,head courts of i'm.
prisonment and exile without even
the form of a trial. It was he who
opened the food,gates of tyranny
which spread over a once happy land
like the lava of Vesuvius, to curse and
to destroy. The French Jacobins
murdered thousands in the name OF
Liberty; but Lincoln in the name Of
Liberty, stabbed Liberty herself "I
this be treason, make the most of it.

gives an interesting description of the re-

to be the Que-ah valley, situated on the

and from 10 to 20 miles in width, lies a
rich and valuable agricultural district,
which will some day form one of the most
valuable among the eastern countless
The Des Chutes forks in this valley and
to the east and west of either. and with
in the forks, lies this large body of land,
