that the Republican party is in favor
of paying gold to the bloated bond

they relish the following revelation
concerning the Democratic record on
that point:
The Hon. Edw. Mcpherson, Clerk
ofthe House of Representatives, pub
fishes the vote OF the House 1862

amendment to the Legal Tender bill
whereby the interest on the fve>
twenty bonds was made payable in

Mr. Stevens vehemently opposed) the
Republicans stood: Yeas, 43 nays,
55-a majority in the negative. All
the Democrats but two (BaiIy, of

TnfantCrimiual.-

The city, of Dublin possesses at the
present moment the youngest criminal
and prisoner in the world. In kich-
mond Bridewell-the prison from
which Head Center Stephens escaped
there is now, i'm INJURED criminal three
anda a half years old! We venture to
think that the prisons of Europe may
be searched In vain for an incarcerated
offender of equal age with that of the
Dublin delinquent. The story, as told
by the Dublin papers, is strange. On
Saturday, it seems, two children were
arrested and brought before a magis-
trate at a Dublir police Office, charged
with what is grandiloquently called
'tsoliciting aims t-vnlgarly termed
begging. The elder was q girl eight
years old, the other was boy, an in
iant, aged three years and a half. The
charge, the solemn charge, was proved,
and the migisterial justice delivers its
decree. The decree was that the girl
should be imprisoned in a penitentiary
for fourteen days, and be kept to hard
labor, and that the boy, poor little mite,
should be confined for an equal length
of time in Richmond Brideweil, and
likewise kept to "hard labor. The
question arises, what would be eonsid-
cred hard labor for a child three and
a half years old ?pses9 ~ or" -9a =
