THE GREENBACK QUESTION
The New York World (Dem. } in
its monetary article of the oath, has
the following:
The discussion of the greenback
question, and the disprOportionate
high prices 10 which the ten -forties
have been run up under the impress
ion that the act of Congress which
authorized them is more explicit in
affirming that the principal shall be
paid in coin, has turned the attention
of some foreign firms to the act OF
March 8, 1865. Under this act of
Congrss March 8, 1865, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has issued the
1865, 1868 and 1865, and the fol-
lowing abstract OF that law shows
that all these bonds are made, prin-
cipal and interest, specifically pay able
in coin. The act of Congress says:
"The principal, or interest, or both,
may be made payable in coin or other
lawful money provided. that the rate
of interest on any such bonds or
Treasury notes, when payable in
coin, shall not exceed 6 per cent. per
annum, and when not payable in coin,
shall not exceed Z 80 per cent. per
annum.'
The Secretary of the Treasury is
made by this act the only power that
can define when the bonds issued un-
der this act are, principal or interest,
or both, payable in coin or other law
full money. The Secretary of the
Treasury has declared and officially
issued the 1865s, 1868 and 1868 as
payable, principal and interest, in
coin. The law, therefore, in the case
of those bonds being payable, princi
pal and interest, in coin, is as clearly
and positively affirmed as in the act
which authorizes the lO-40s.

candidly consider it. Take your time
and let the people know what you

want to know all about it. They

West and bond talk in the East.
Nov smoothly does the Democrat

Mrs. Colonel Morrill,, of New
York, was few days since, forcibly
taken from her home by her brother,
and put into an insane asylum in
Trenton, New Jersey, unknown to
her husband. The latter is now en-
deavoring, by a writ of habeas cor
pus, to obtain possession of his wife.
She is perfectly sane.
The Knox County illinois Re.
publican says farmer in that cOun-
ty recently discovered on his farm a
trap door covered with sod, which
opened into room excavated in the
ground. This room was quite well
fitted up with tables and chairs, con
tanned stolen property of all kinds,
and was evidently the rendezvous OF
thieves.
A negro named j. Moore, on the
22d, made foul assault on lady
near Bellair, Hartford county, Mis-
souri,. While being taken before the
Magistrate, a mob took him from the
officers and hanged him.
The Connecticut Legislature ad
journed, last Saturday, until Monday
evening, and a bill touching the
election law, on which there had been
much bitter discussion, was deposited
in the Office Of the Secretary of State
On the reassembling of the Legisla-
ture the EngrOssing Committee took
up the bill, and were astOnished to
find that it had been altered in sew
eral important particulars, SO as to
change its sense and make it conform
to the amendments which the Demo
Gratis hadpreviously proposed. Acids
had been used to erase certain words,
and in their places others were sub
stitnted. No less than eight such
alterations were detected. For IN
stance, the provisions that the Board
for the admission of Electors should
only sit in the day time were changed,
so that the Board might sit in the
evening. This was point which
the Copperheads had fought for in
both Houses, butt it was rejected by q
party vote. The fraud was discover
ed before 1T was too late, and both
branches of the Legislature have TAX
en- prompt action in the matter.

CURIOUS APPEARANCE OF THE EARTH
Clayton once made successful ascension in
balloon from Columbus. Among the re-
marks in his journal of the erial trip we were
struck by the following:
From the questions am frequently asked,
an idea seems to exist with many that aero
nouts lose sight of the earth when at great
nights. This is mistake they never do,
except when clouds intervene or night ap.
pears. On the contrary, the earth is always
like an immense concave map, painted differ
ent colors, which designate not the different
townships or counties, as the coloring Of
maps generally do, but the various products
of the soil. That the earth. which in reality
is convex, should appear to the eronaut to be
concave, may at first seem strange to many,
but a moments reflection will render it clear
Ills horizon is frequently upwards of hun
dred miles from him. Draw right angle
triangle, and make the base fifty or sixty
times as long as the perpendicular, the hy-
potheneuse and base will then be nearly in
the same line. The horizon appears to the
aronaut to be on a perfect level with the car
of the balloon but the part of the earth d.
rectly underneath him seems at great dis
from him; consequently the whole surface of
bis scene must appear concave.

ENCHANTED MoUNTAINs.-Th following
account of natural curiosity is from the
Texas Telegraph:
This singular mountain or hill is situated
on the head waters of the Salley-a small
tributary of the Colorado, about eighty miles
from Bastrop, in a Norhwesterly direction.
1t is about three huudred feet high, and ap-
pears to be an enormous oval rock partly i'm
bedded in the earth. When the sun shines,
the light is reflected from its polished sur
face, as from an immense mirror, and the
whole mountain glows with such dazzling ra
dance, that the beholder who views it even
from the distance of four or five miles. is
unable to gaze upon it without experiencing
a painful sensation, similar to that which is
felt when looking upon the rising sun. The
ascent of this hill is so gradual that persons
can easily walk to the top; but the rock is
50 smooth and slippery that those who make
the attempt are compelled to wear moccasins
or stockings instead of shoes This fact. to-
getber with the name of the place, Holy
Mountain, reminds the visitor very forciblv
of the commend made to Moses on Mount
Horeb, Put off thy shoes from off thy feet.
The Camanches regard this hill with religious
veneration. and Indian pilgims frequently
assemble from the remotest borders of this
tribe to perform their Paynim rites upon its
summit

NEGRO DEMocRAcY-At a late election at
Silver City. Idaho, we are informed,
Judge John IL. Watson formerly of Watson
vile, Santa Cruz county, brought up eigh-
teen negroes to the polls, sixteen of whom
voted the Democratic ticket. After the bal
lots of the black Democrats had been depos-
ted safely, the Judge mounted stump and
addressed his proteges. congratulating them
upon having received the proud privilege of
American citizens-the elective franchise
He told them they ought to feel grateful to
the Democratic party for plunging the coun-
try into a war by which they had obtained
their freedom and their citizenship. But for
that party they would have been condemned
to hopeless slavery, perhaps forever. He
regretted be said, that he bad not been born
in AFRICA himself, that he might experience
the fullness of joy of arising from the depths
of degradation of slave to the high exalta-
ton of an American citizen. En- uno disco
omnes. Here is specimen of what black
Democracy is, and will be.-San Francisco
Times.
Watson was at one time Democratic
member of the Legislature from Santa Cruz,
and his morals were as loose as sin on a
spree. He is a natural Demo rat.

Waking Up the Wrong Passenger.

Railway travelling has its jokes as we'll as
its perlls in Canada as well as in the States.
where every train is the stage of comedy,
and sometimes tragedy, especially on the
Erie. A Montreal paper says that an Incl
dent, which blended the farce and the TRACE

passenger with a vengeance-occurred on the
Grand Trunk night express West, lately
a Southern gentleman, accompanied by his
wife, son, nurse and three or four daughters,
who was going westward, took berths for the
whole party on the sleeping car. Himself
and wife occupied a berth at one extremity
of the car, and the daughters and nurse were
compelled to seek slImber not that they

eighteen and nineteen respectively, occupied
