Hon. John T. Hoffman, in his speech at
the meeting held in the city of New York
on the night of the 2Sth of February, TO sus.
tain the President, made point that should
challenge the attention of all capitalists and
bondholders-indeed, of everybody who has
occasion to use money. The point he made
was this
Men oil through this country, rich and poor,
are to-day discussing the question, how the Ma
tioDal debt is to be paid, whether in gold or cur.
rency. Let me tell them, and let me say TO tht
bankers and business men of New York, that un
less they frown down this first attempt of con
gress to eject President without cause, they
had better ask thsmelves the question what secur
ity they have got in the great future that il
will be paid at all
This is an inquiry worthy of deep consid-
Grafton BY the bondholders. If the attempt
of tie. radicals in congress to usurp all power
in that branch of the government, making
the Presiden. and ssF'FFssm RENE court mere d ie
penaef6ies upon its will, should be success

ton will stop or what will grow ont of it

Ex-Post Facto Acts.


"If congress finds that il has exacted conditions
which severe, il is perfectly competent for
1t TO reeede from them"
So says the New York Erening Post of
the Alabama election. Here is suppress.
sion OF the truth which amounts TO the state.
ment of a falsehood. The Post speaks of
the conditions e1acted by congress as if they
we're exacted IN the exercise of sovereignty !;
whereas they are simply the terms between
contracting parties, which one cannot modi-
ty or recall at pleasure. AS long as con-
gress kept the matter in its own hands, the
conditions ii should impose were within its
own sovereignty; but Just so soon as it called
on the people of Alabama to vote. the condi-
tons ii had imposed became the terms of a
contract Congress had the right beforehand
to pronounce the votes of quarter or a
tenth of the population sufficient, or even 10
go farther, and like the heroic and unfiinch.
ing Tribune, declare that "dny ten loval
men constituted the state; but when il had
invited the voters to an election on the ex-
press provision that a majority of all regis
tered should be necessary to give effect, it

to declare that a man has committed felony
just because he has done that which might

is, What was the law at the time the act was
committed? So of the Alabama election, the
question is not what congress might have
declared, originally, to be taken as ratifying
the constitution 6m on ,chat terms the cleo
tion fcas actually held. Of that there can
be no dispute. Congress provided that
clear majority of all registered voters should
be necessary. That majority was not OBJ
tanned. We do not even know-uay, we
have not even fair ground for supposing-
that had full vote been cast the constitu-
ton would have been ratified. The conserr.

At about 9 o'clock Tuesday night,or during
the crisis of the overflow, a mass Of ice
swept down upon the railroad bridge on the
Iowa side of the Island, and collided with
such force as to bodily move the second pier
from the Iowa shore distance Of fifteen
feet. 1t yet stands, but is in danger of fal-
ling at any moment. In addition to this
some of the other piers were damaged and
many of the chords of the superstructure

The trestle work of the wagon bridge at
the Island was completely carried away.
To repair the damage would require an ex-

upon the government.

The bridge leading to the Island, lust

about one-half of it has swung around in the
