Do You Call thi. Reputation


On the back of the legal tender notes
issued under the act OF February 2G,
1862, the following pledge is given:
This is legal tender for all debts,
public and private, except duties on
imports and interest on the public debt,
and is exchangeable for United States
six per cent. twenty years bends, re.
deemable at the pleasure of the United
States after five years"
The five years have expired. Is il
reputation TO redeem the bonds with
these notes! Again, see back of notes
issued ander act of July II, 1862. and
read the following:
This note is a legal-tender for al
debts, public and private, except duties
on imports and interest on the public
debt, and is receivable in payment fol
all loans made to the United States
There we have il; "it is receivable IL
payment for all loans made to the Uni

If our legislators will only restore al

tend the hand Of fellowship and every
right and privilege of the citizen TO all

The Pittsburgh EreHiRg 4droodte, Rad,
ical, is responsible for the following
pungent paragraphs:
Jay Cooke at the beginning of the
war was q bankers clerk, IN a small
town ont in Ohio, and lived on q small
salary. After becoming agent Of the
government, TO sell its bonds, he made
about twenty million dollars in about
three years. And in view of these facts
II world be exceedingly difficult TO make
US believe tha: the man has a particle
of personal integrity. J. Cooke signs
his name TO letters on finance, not 9
line of which he eyer wrote or could
write. He would evidestly sign any
thing involving swindle of others
provided the proceeds went into hi:
own pockets.
jay Cooke says that when acting as
agent of the government, in selling III
Five-Twenty bonds, he promised th'
purchasers that the principal as well a;
the interest should be paid in gold
Well, If J.. Cooke did this, he did il upor
his own responsibility, and is now liza

tice for obtaining money under falst

Impeachment Viewed Abroad.

The lOng-pending struggle between
the majority in the Legislature seeking
to establish its complete predor1inance,
! and the President, who desires to pre-
serve to the Executive that ipdepen-
dente contemplated by the founders Of
the Federal Republic, approaches its
final issue. We fear the only explana-
tion that can be given of the Sudden re-
solve Of the majority in Congress to re-
vivs the impeachment of the President
must be sought iB the necessities of
party, not in the refined distinction Of
constitutional pleading. Law has but
little TO do with the matter; and rev
erence for law is uDhappily shaken.
From the London Tines.l
TIE affairs of the Union have never
appeared so critical since the ternina-
tiOn of the war. Those who have had
the greatest experience OF America, and
are best qualified to separate substance
from shadow, cannot but feel anxious.
Extenuate the symptoms as muck as
they can, there still remains every
token Of desperate struggle between
opposing parties, who will hesitate at
nothing 10 secure victory. The I'M
peaChment Of the President has been
decided upUn, and the first steps have
beer taken for his prosecution at the
bar of the Senate. The reconstruction
of tie South having failed, after three
or four plans have been Successively
tried, il is now proposed 10 bring back
the excluded Sta'es by laws passed
CT post .fGctO in the very teeth of pro
hibitive enactment of the Constitution.
These are the expedients of the RePu6-
lican party.
The propriety of the dismissal of Mr..
Stanton can be challenged By disputing
the validity of the acts of his substitute
before the Supreme Court, and it is
open TO the Republican leaders TO GO to
that Court fer decision. If the Court
determined the point in their favor, Mr..
johnson would be beaten, and this is,
as we have said, legal way ofescapiug
from the embarrassment. The promo
tersOf the impeachment have chosen
the more doubtful course Of prosecuting
the President before the Senate. we
must abandon the nominal TO discover
the real cause of proceeding 50 calcu-
lated by the evidence of recent prece-
dent to weaken the party before the
country. The Presidential cleo
tion will be held in the Au-
tumn, and it is deemed necessary,
above all things, that the Re-
publicaus shall carry il. The impeach-
ment of the President in itself weuld in
iure them, bat if it could be pushed
forward to the end by the present Con-
gress, or if Mr.. johnson were but sus-
pended, and Republican put in his
stead for q season he poirer Of. the Presi-
dentidl patronage nOuld be hrOTn into the
hands Of the party, and might secure ma
jOriy in the College Of Electors. We be-
lieve even now that this scheme Will
presently be discovered to be mistake.
The reaction it must produce will, in all
probability, be so great that the Man
ayers of the impeachment will suffer
the proceeding to abate for want of
prosecution; and, indeed, We should be
slow u attribute to them so wild poll
cy, did not their conduct in other re-
spects prove that they are bent on car
rying the Presidential election at any
cost.

The New York San (Radica!) says

Inc new loEk cHs heuiS".I S~sS
Let all parties feel that the people
are now sitting in Judgment upon the
holders of power, by whatever name
they may be called, and that those Who
are found guilty Of squdmde'ing the earn
iags Of the poor, IN the form Of HRHecessa-

and punished.
This is q wholesome warning TO whom
it may concern. 1t is one ofthe few Mt
terances of an extremely Radical joufn-
al that we can heartily endorse. The
legislator, whether at Albany or Wash
ington, or whether Democrat or Rspub-
lican, who gives his vote for measures
involving taxation that are not abso-
lutely necessary ought to be politically
dead and damned.
