TIE PUBLIC DEBr.-The Oregoaidn is dis
aAu6Iin way, ii berates the STATESMAN 'forud
vocating that the National Debt ought to be paid
in legal tender currency. 1t has not been great
while, we think, since the Oregonidn had a world
of faith in the legal tender notes-opposing spe-
cifc contract laws, on the ground that this cur
rency was good, constitutional money, and that
such State laws nulli6ed the paramount legal
tender law of Congress.
We do not know what light has lately dawned
upon the OrrgOnidn, to make it see this question
in dfereLt way, now. The general govern
ment pays its soldiers in greenbacks at their
face value, and the soldiers have made no hue
and cry about il. If it was swindle, they had
to put up with it. If they were losers by it they
could not help it. Greenbacks were legal tenders
lawful money-according to Congress, and
they had to take them or get nothing. So it has
been, and now is, with our Congressmen and
Legislators So it is, indeed, throughout all the
departments of the government. Now, this be.
ing true, we ask the Oregonian, in all caudor,
whether bond holder is any better than SOL
than legislators and others, who get paid for
service rendered, in greenback dollars We
know that the interest on the public debt is not
payable in legal tender notes; as also, duties on
imports; but with these two exceptions, all
i debts, public well as private, can be so paid,
| IN accordance With the law making these notes
legal tender. We therefore believe it is Just
and right that the principal of the public debt
should be paid, and paid speedily, in this rag
money. The longer the debt remains unpaid,
the worse it will necessarily be for the people
The bond,holders are, as long as the debt stands,
getting the interest paid promptly in gold coin
and 1t takes ali the gold in the treasury, annu.
ally to pay this interest; so that there is nothing
left in the treasury but greenbacks, with which
to pay soldiers and others doing service for the
government.
The greenback is not good dollar, we admit,
but 1t ought TO pay one kind of a debt just as
well as auo'her kind, aud we believe it uciH.
The bond holders are sucking the very life blood
out of the people aud out OF the nation, and they
should, above all others, get their pay from the
government in greeubscks. They will, most
likely, get paid in greenbacks if the debt is ever
to be paid. The democrats Of Ohio believe So
and democrats everywhere, are beginning to take
the same view of the matter. Even the radicals
composing the brains OF the party-Butler, Ste
vens Co., mean as they are-think diHo'

PcnosohOo u WIG councA. MT. E6g6SLon
assigned no reason for resigning. Does the
Union know his motives better than he
does
The council has made no appropriation
which the republican aldermen have op-
posed. Either the council is not reckless
and extravagant, or the republican aldermen
are unfaithfnlin the discharge of their duties?
Will the Union tell its readers which horn of
the dilemma it takes? .-. s~ ~
The republican party of Rock Island is
represented in the council by three aldermen.
If the Union Is right, the representatives of
the republican party are unworthy the conf
dence and support of their party? And if
the republican aldermen are properly dis
charging their duties the Union is unworthy
of confidence. One or the other of these
positions is true. Which is it?

The New MAYOR INAUGURATED.-LaS
evening 1.-THE 18th. Benz amin Ii. Kimball,
Esq, was inaugurated as mayor of this city,
in place of VIM. Eggleston, resigned, the
oath of Office being administered by Acting
Mayor Halves, who handsomely thanked the
aldermen for the honor they had done him
in placing him in the position he had occu-
pied for few weeks past, and for the kind
manner in which they had treated him
while acting as mayor. He trusted that
their future deliberations would be equally
pleasant and harmonious.
Mr.. Kimball, on assuming the chair,
said he did so with great distrust of his
ability to discharge the duties of the office
acceptably, and felt that the people might
have selected, from the many able men in
town, one more competent to fill the po-
sition. His attention, he said. had, for some
years past, been given to other matters of
public interest, and he was but little acquain-
ted with city affairs. He would, however,
use diligent efforts to inform himself in re-
gard to city affairs, the finances, and the wants
of our enterprizing and growing city; and
he hoped the aldermen, all of whom had had
some experience and several of whom had
large experience in city matters, would aid
him in becoming more familiar with his du-
ties, and extend to him their charity for any
unintentional errors he might commit. He
regarded the legislation of the city as com
mttted to the charge ofthe aldermen, who
were the more immediate representatives
of the people and supposed to be familiar
with their wants while he Though having a
general oversight of city matters and the
endorsements of its laws, and being required
by the charter to recommend subjects for
their consideration was their chairman.
He trusted their deliberations would be har.
monious, and their efforts be earnestly given
to promote the best interests ofthe city and
the welfare of the whole people.
After Mayor Kimball had closed his re-
marks, the council proceeded to the business
ofthe evening, as win be seen by the official
nronea6iupa in this nanar

The impure fabric had tu, dried,
And never whitened in the sun"
So with our lives; 'tis ours to keep
Them clean of every act impure;
With finest brush of art TO sweep
The very dust fron off the floor.
And 10 the Sun of Righteousness
Into our waiting souls will stream,
To brighten, beautify, and bless,
And whiten 60 our purest dream.
