Dissolution or LAW FIRN.-We learn
that the successful law firm Of Prout,
Duntou & Peabody mas been dissolved
since Hon. John Prout entered upon his
duties as Judge OF the supreme court.
Mr.. Dunton continues the practice Of
law in the office formerly occupied by
the firm. R. S, Peabody, Esq., has
taken the office formerly occupied by
Chauncey X. Williams, Esq., in the
Cramton g. Nichols block. In this con-
nection we would say Judge Prout has
won the good opinion of the members OF
the bar, by the prompt, courteous and
able manner in which he presided at the
December term Of the Bennington
County court, which is the first he has
held.

| @sAS S-Spcccil VI ulr, br0Omatl.
Mr. Broomall. of Pennsylvania, delivered
speech in the House Wednesday, arguing
that Congress never agreed to pay the 500
bonds in gold, but that, ON the contrary, they
were payable in currency.
lie could not consent to the payment of
any part oil the bonded debt, principal or
interest against the will of the holders. But
he could not denounce that as repudiation.
unless he had some harsher term to amply
to the daily transactions of the government.
When the soldier was forced to take in pay
ment the paper which the government
CAUSED to be deprecated after his enlist
ment, the gentleman from Maine (NIr. Blaine)
had sat in his seat and raised no cry of re-
pudiation. Was the claim of the man who
loaned deprecated paper to the government
at par, and who for five years had been re-
ceiving interest on 1t as if he had loaned the
full face of his bond in gold, more sacred
than that of the soldier, on whose side of
The contract there had been no discount
lie would not maintain that the govern
ment had the right to pay the principal of
inc bonds In deprecated paper, but he would
maintain that that debt stood on no higher
platform than any other debt of the govern
ment. II the government was bound in law
or In morals to pay the principal of the
bonded debt in the currency of the world,it
was equally bound to pay every other debt
in the same currency. He denied that any
promise on the part of Jay Cooke or other
agents was binding on the government. Did
not the bondholders, he asked, know that
those agents were hired to sell the bonds for
a commission, and did they not look on
thope promises as they would on the prom
ises OF any other vender of commodities
Ihose creditors, he argued, had not been
deceived.
He proposed to show that they took the
loan on the belief that the principal was to
be paid in currency, and that the loan had,
since that time passed from hand to hand
in the markets of the world and abroad, and
was at this time passing as one, the princi-
pal OF which was to be paid in currency.
lie declared that nobody would be as much
surprised as the holders of the loan by the
announcement that the government would
pay them in gold. The road to specie paw
ment was no easy road. II could not be re
vlyed except through terrible privations and
suflerings, especially on the part of the la
boring masses of the country, who had
nothing to fall upon. But yet a return to
specie payments was necessity.
The only question was how il was to be
done. His own plan was embraced in bill
which he had introduced some days SINCE
requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to
redeem greenbacks from month to month at
liked rate, say one hundred and thirty-six,
to be diminished one quarter per cent. each
month until the specie basis is reached
