Judge u. w JOhnS0n'S SpeecIl
= ut Hamden Furnace,
We promised I our renders,
last week, 10 have more to say
ofJqdge JohnSon's speech. On
the question of whether the
five-twenty bonds should be
paid in gold or greepbacks we
think he pointedto thetrue-so-
luton. He said a great many
able gentlemen of both politi1
cal parties held that they were
payable in greepbaeks, while Q
great many of either party said
thatithey were payable in gold,
but all save few reputation,
ists-who hadno party-aSreed
that they should be paid aceor-
ding to the letter and spirit OF
the contract In proof of this
he cited the speeches of Mr..
Seymour Mr.. Hoffman, Demo
cratic candidate, for Governor
of New Y ork; is. IS. Cox, e Mr.,
Sherman, Gov. Morton and 9TH
ers, as we'll as the platforms OF
the two parties. .oaloLJk tr
But while men agree that
they shall be paid according to
the letter and spirit of the law,
they differ as to what that let
ter and spirit Of the law is.
Some say it is gold; some say
greenbacks. The only way to
settle that difference is to ap-
peal to the Courts, and by their
decision all men must abide.
If the Secretary of the Treas
ury should tender to August
Belmont one hundred thousand
dollars in greenbacks for one
hundred thousand dollars
worth of his bonds, he would re-
fuse the offer. t'fVery well"
says the Secretary, "you will
take that or nothing; | offer to
pay you now according to the
contract" "We will see, Mr..
Secretary" says Belmont; q do
not so understand the contract.
When | took these bonds ! un-
derstood they were payable in
gold. There is d higher au-
thority thanyou on this subject.
I will just take this case up to
the Supreme Court Of 2 the
United States, and we will see
what is the letter and spirit Of
the contract" aDI ol3 o. t1r9
10 AS the Court decides, SO the
Secretary willrbe compelled to
pay Mr.. Belmont and all other
bondholders, for there is no
power in this country can over
ride their decisions The con-
tract is made, and neither Con
gress nor the President has
anything further to do with it;
for by a Constitutional provi-
sion no law can be passed
afwhich impairs the obligations
of a contract" II the Court
says the law says gold-well
and good; it it says greenbacks
and good. No'good cit
lzen will, attempt to evade its |
decision, ,., ~, !
He illustrated the fallacy of
issuing more greenbacks by |
by giving the prices Of labor,
and Ct household necessities be-
fore the war, two years since !
before the contraction Of the
currency-and to-day; showing
the amount of sugar, coffee,
etc, that could bepur

creased every kind of the ne

faster than labor, leaving the
laborers wages always at the
lowest scale, thus benefting

THE figuring of some Of the
Democratic Stumpers who pro-
pose to pay off the debt by
issuing greenbaekS will land
them in the same class with
the old gentleman who rented
a farm to try o new expert
ment sat down in his bed
room, figured his profits on
corn per acre, his wheat, his
oats, his potatoes, etc, and
found himself a rich man. At
the end of the harvest time,
the crops were sold, and he
hadn't money enough to pay
his note which he had placed
IN DahK as payment Tor the rent
of his farm. and he found that
he was in debt, his paper be-
low par, and his credit was
tainted. So these fellows have
been figuring, and they ask us
to try their new experiment
and get still. further in debt,
place our paper-greenbacks-
still further below par, and
taint our credit. There is but
one way to pay a debt, public
or priyate:' work, live within
your means, accumulate mon
ey, and then come down with
it like an honest man. - or

First. If DR.. John Sanns,

gress, SiiifeSd in each Town

that he read at 1.-THE Court

Second. II he does not wish
to read the same peice he may
change it as he pleases, the
Grant Club in each Township
to select one of their number
to reply to him. % Oh z fsoH
Third. If Mr.. Flagg, Sanns'
mOuthpiece in yinton County,
will go into every township in
this county, and deliver the
same speech he delivered in
the Court House, Tuesday even
ing, Sth inst, transportation
will be furnished him, and his
expenses will be paid by the
Grant Club. Z .sle..f s....
He is to speak of Gen. Grant
us he did here at Macarthur,
calling him a coward, stuffed
pnppet &C.; to say the same
dirty things of the republicans
he said on that occasion, to
tell our people that they "are
worse clad and more ragged
than the laboring people Of
any part Of Europe, except the
lowest class Of Irish and the
people of Naples, who are
chronically lazy" as he told
them on the 8th inst; he is to
take the same ground on finance
that he then took to.wit: the
interest on the bonds should
be paid in currency, no matter
if it is repudiation; in short, he
is to advocate the same doc.
trine he advocated on the 9Th
inst, and to take the same po-
silion as to our party, platform
and candidates. Now come on
with your talent. I We want
the people of Vinton to snake
the acquaintance" OF your can
didate, Sanns, and we want
them to learn the true issues
from a man who has the bold
ness to speak plainly without
the discretion to suppress even
his hate OF free institutions
and republican government.

Wan DEPARTMENT ORDERs.-Gen-

WAR DEPARTMENT ORDERs.-Gen-
eral GRANT has directed that the re-
oruits now atCarlisle Barracks, Penn
sylvauia, be sent to Texas, to fill up
the regular companies now there.
Other recruits in the various depots
Will be sent South at once. He has
also directed that all staff officers who
are now on duty separate from their
regiments, who can be spared at all,
shall be ord cred to their commands.
Among those so ordered are Generals
DOUBLEDAY, HEINTZELMAN, WHEA-
TON and SHESPERD.
The persistency with which Gener-
al GRANT endeavors to cut down the
expenses of his department is a most
encouraging augury Of economy for
his administration. Economy and
retrenchment must be the order OF
the day ifthe Republicans would re-
tain the political power once more
confded to them by the people. By
economy alone eau the burdens of
taxation be lightened. If the
taxes are not materially re.
duced, the people will become
dissatisfied, and will repudiate the
party. The Republicans, through
their speakers and papers. have prom
ised the people that rigid system of
economy will be inaugurated when
Gen. GRANT assumes control, and
these promises must and will be full
filed. We arc sure they will be SC
far as the General himself is con-
cerned. L is incumbent on Congress
to aid him Ia his efforts. The appro-
priation bills ought to be closely
scrutinized and every unnecessary
item excluded. If this is done tn
Republican party will obtain a nev
lease Of power, and the Democratic
party will soon be numbered among
the things of the past.

third time the majority in its favor was
