The Round Table says: THE cry that the
money which is good enough for the people is
good enough for the bondholder cannot be put
down by logic. For 1t is true that the laborer
ought to be paid his wages in good moncy-in
just rs good money as that In which any class
of capitalists receive their interest" Whose
fault Is 1t that = paper dollar is not worth as
much as gold one, Certainly 1t is not the
fault Of the Government. II the Government
did agree to pay the interest on = certain class
OF its bonds in coin shall 1t violate its pledge
In q vain attempt to do what 1t cannot dol
The Government cannot at this time resume
specie payment. 1t cannot, therefore, make =
paper dollar possess q value equivalent to a
gold one. 1t is, in all probability, correct that
logic cannot put down "the cry that the money
which is good enough for the people is good
enough for the bondholder." Logic, doubt.
less, like Instinct, is very great thing; yet
there are many cries which cannot be put
down by it, as well as this particular one,
which is suggested by the Round Table. Did 1t
never occur to this writer that there are facts
which no amount Of crying and popular blus.
ter can put down.
We hear much said about the stern logic OF
events there is also such thing as the stei n
logic OF fact The Government has had on Its
hands great war, and to get money to carry
1t on 1t had to pledge the public creditor that
certain of the bonds which 1t issued should be
paid, principal and interest, In coin. This /.
the fact, whatever may be the cry, that canno,
be put down with logic.
We incline to the opinion that newspapers
and politicians can do theirG government and the
poor people more service by fastening the re.
sumption Of specie payment than by encour-
aging that popular tumult which would bre nix
faith with public creditors.
When we see in season and out OF season a
large amount OF sympathy displayed in behalf
OF the poor laborIng people, whether it be in
Congress or in the columns OF newspapers,
we cannot refrain from the belief that there
is large expenditure Of demagoguery some.

conceded by all who heard Mr.. Boutwell,, aloof
from any partisan feeling, that the argument
was fine one, full of logic and eloquence, and
the impeschers were Jubilant in consequence.
Thaddeus Stevens was In excellent humor,
and during a portion Of the address traversed
the corridors without the Chamber and the
rooms of the Secretary OF the Senate. He
walked unaccompanied and with much vigor,
remarking that he had not felt so well in ten
years.
The day was most beautiful. The sky was
serene, dotted here and there with light, feeey
clouds, which waited a gentle air over hill
and dale, vigorous and exhilsrating. OF course
with such weather the ladies were the domi-

every part but the space occupied by the re-
