Government, to psy his creditor withass
who has Just the same moral right to re-
Quire gold for bis debt as his debtor has
to require 1t of the Government?
In RodeS We. Bronson, "a NeU York
Rep. $40, it was decided that Mortgage
made in 1851 to secure q debt of Sl4OO
payable in 1857, "in gold and silver
coin, lawful money Of the United States, F"
could be paid in legal tender notes atpsr )
and IN Wood vs.. BulJeTls, 6 Allen 5l6, the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts held the
same In regard to a note for $500, psys-
BILE ain specie"
The Courts have held thst contract
for Dollars, Is a contract for the payment
Of a certain sum OF money: that when
the legal tender act passed, paper dollars
became the equivalents OF dollars in
coin; and that tender Of the requisite
number Of dollars became good in what
ever lawful currency made.
The Tribune will hardly convince the
people that holders Of bonds of the Gov
eminent, payable in dollars, are out Of
the reach of this logic of the Courts, can
not be compelled to receive their dollars
in paper and can demand them in gold.
II the creditor OF en- individual has no
right to have his dollars in gold, so nei-
Their has the creditor of the Government.
The reasoning of the Courts, artificial
and unsound as it is, applies equally to
both; and the people will be very sure so
to apply it.

We translate from German Radical
paper, called the Future, published al
Indianapolis, the following reasons why
1t will not support the great Dummy for
President. There are four reasons given,
but the two we quote are the most re-
markable evidences of classification toward
the Radical cause in quarters where il has
hitherto been strongest:
We will not vote for Grant, because
the Chicago platform is not a forward but
3 retrogradesJep. We will here only call
attention to that plank which declares
that negro suffrage must be carried out
in the South, but not in the North. Be-
this scIrTilOlls p1tSittdlisnl IL is sought to
inUeigie Conservative UOtes bit this de-
fusion tOiU soon be dtspeHed. Whoever is
opposed to negro suffrage in the North
lCiH tOiSh TO see The South exempt from the
same blessing.
We will not vote for Grant, because,
by the result OF the recent Impeachment
trial the powers of the President have
been enlarged that TO place them in the
hands Of an ambitious soldier, ia case of
q revolution or foreign tDar, MAY prove
the destruction If Lbe Republic. Silent,
ambitious Grant is best adapted to caTT,U
out reasonable designs, much more so
than q Democratic President from the
ciUH ranks. Democrats cannot make
matters worse than they are new. Let
them exert themselves to this end; it will
bring the pubic sooner 10 its sober sense.

TO THE CITIZENS OF SHELBY


Arrangements have been made by the
Central Democratic Club Of Shelby
county to hold a Democratic County
Convention on Wednesday, the 5th inst,
at u O'Clock M, st the New Memphis
Theater, for the purpose Of selecting
delegates to the Democratic Convention
which is 70 meet at Brownsville, Tenn,
on the ensuing Monday. All the citizens
of the county whose hearts are in the
cause are invited to be present and take
part in the deliberations. Citizens from
the country are especially urged to at
tend. For their especial sccommods-
ton the hour Of meeting was set at mid
day, and it is to be hoped that all will
feel the necessity of giving the aid of
their personal attendance. The meeting
will be continued at the same place at
night, and some OF the most distinguish
ed orators Of Tennessee will be present
to address the people.
Upon the results of this convention OF
the county, depends ia great measure
the selection of q candidate for Congress,
and an elector who shall properly press
before the people the claims Of the Dem
ocratic party, as well as give body and
form to an organization that lie now but
in name. Results so important TO US in
the present campaign, should have IN
the fullest sense possible the indOrse-
ment of the WHOLE PEOPLE Of the cOun-
ty, especially those resident outside of
the city, who have not had opportunities
to counsel with US in our preliminary
meetings-in order that no reasonable
occasion may remain for objection to the
work OF The convention. 1t is for this
reason, and to meet an emergency great
er than has ever before come upon the
country, that we urge every citizen TO be.
present on that day.

General Grants BrOther-ReDubIicans
ln Chicago Going for Seymour and
Blair
One member of the Grant family was
not trotted out at the Radical Chicago
Convention. This was Ocville Grant,
Esq, brother of the General, and a
prominent and respected merchant in
Chicago. Although so near at hand as
to render his presence easily obtainabie,
he was neglected, and not allowed TO
render his tribute to his great brothers
many merits. The state OF the case, as
We understand it, Is that Orville Grant
refuses 20 vote for his BROTHER, consider
ing him unfit, by his character and
habits, 10 OCCUPY the Presidential chair;
that he lately presented q Chicago
church, OF which he is 8 member, the
sum Of $500, and to the Chicago Demo-
cratic Club the sum OF $1,000. A clergy
man who suggested 20 him that il would
have been better to reverse these gifts,
WAS informed by Mr.. Grant, in reply,
that upon a careful consideration of the
state OF the country and the character of
the two candidates, he rather thought be
ought TO have doubled the present to the
Democratic club! 1t is also said that
Mr. Gage, the proprietor of the Sherman
House al Chicago, who would have
voted the Republican ticket had another
candidate been nominated, is now for
Seymour, and willing that the Demo-
cratic clubs Of Chicago, should make his
celebrated hotel their headquarters.
Another indication of the way the tide
Is setting in that city was the presence
of five or six hundred Republicans at the
Seymour ratification meeting ia Chicago,
who cheered as Justify as many Of the
Democrats. Natioaot Lnteiligeacer, 3Oth

LYNCH LAW IN MAINE.

The Bangor Wing says a place called

for long time has borne an unenviabie
reputation for disorder and lawlessness,
and of late has been the scene of crimes
Of more than ordinary magnitude. On

Cunningham, who had been recently
paid of, was gotten into the house of q
Mrs. Davis, piled with liquor until in
toXicated, and then beset by man or
men with intent to rob him. Not being
drunk enough to accomplish their pur-
pose, they beat and stabbed him until
they left him for dead in the road. = He

persons signed paper agreeing to hold
themselves responsible in any suit for
