Truth From a Radical Sennto or.

SENATOR Sprague, the Radica
Senator from the Radical State Of
Rhode Island, in response to a SER
enOde given him by the working
men of Washington city, made
these emphatic declarations, and
we ask honest men of all parties to
read them carefully and weigh them
well: "
"Your House of Representatives,
your Executive and your Judiciary
are to-day influenced and In effect
controlled by the Senate, and the
Senate itsolf is under the control of
one idea-power, and every agency
to advance that idea. Thus it ia
that the machinery of the Govern
ment is SO contracted, 80 narrow,
that the interests and aspirations Of
the people find no proper vent, but
arc stifed, corrupted and destroyed.
The great trouble is, tho would-be
leaders of the people are dwarfed
into mere partisan adventurers, who
have cut us off from the greatness
and goodness of the past without
supplying and bringing to bear in
the present superior intelligence,
experience, virtue and courage"

the present standing army Of the

Legal Tender Unconstitutional.
In 1864 Judge SHARswooD

Legal leHu6r UNCONSTITUTIONAL,
In 1864 Judge SHARswooD,
in the case of BoRIE VS..
TRoTT, in case ofa Mortgage,
delivered an exhaustive opin-
ion in relation to contracts
and the effects of the legal
tender act, in which he said :
"On the whole, then, i am of
opinion that the provision of the
act of Congress of February 25,
1852, declaring the notes issued in
pursuance of that act, to be lawful
money and legal tender, is uncon.
stitutional."
For this he was abused
without stint by the entire
Republican party, and de-
nounced as a traitor and re-
pudiator. The Supreme Court
of the United States has en-
dorsed this opinion, and of
course, the Republican party
say it is right. The Phila-
delphia Press makes the fol-
lowing comment upon it:
AT last the legal tender question
has been authoritatively settled,
and the issue between coin and pa
per has been determined in favor of
the former. The Supreme Court of
the United States, whose decisions
are binding on every Stats court,
has, in recent great case decided
that when it is covenanted as an
agreement that the money shall be
paid in coin, of any specified kind,
it can be demanded and recovered
in the coin mentioned, or its equiv
alent, and that the creditor cannot
be compelled to accept the amount
in "legal tender" notes at par
This, of course, settles the ques-
tion that all mortgages made paya-
bic in "gold dollars" spanish
milled dollars" or other specific
words designating coin, must be
paid in those particular kinds Of
coin, or their equivalent. The de-
cision will also apply to all ground
rents not already covered by the
we'll known decision that "a ground
rent is an estate and not debt"
Very many Of those old rents in
Philadelphia and the eastern coun-
ties are payable in Spanish pistoles,
or'Spanish milled dollars, frequent
ly with a stipulation that the coin
shall be OF particular weight or
standard OF purity, The matter is
worth looking up, both to creditor
and debtor.

Treason Still Made Odions.

THE Colonel Q. G. Grove, nomi.

nor of New Mexico, and as such,
Commander-in Chief of the militia
of the Territory, was an officer in
the Confederate army, and did his
prettiest to kill, wound and main,
"the white boys in blue" who "ral.
lied round the Flag"
AS this Grove, like the birds Of

he goes for negro suffrage, and
hence is q reconstructed rebel. To
make treason odious he is to be

Can such Abuses be Correoted2

ACCORDING to the Tribune Alma
nae, there were 5,725, ,956 votes cast
in the United States at the last
Presidential election, of which
General GRANT received 8,0l6,325,
and Governor SEYMOUR received
2,706,6S1, making GRANTS MAORI
ty 309,G94 or about six per cent. on
the whole vote. In the Senate Of
the United States there are nine
Democrats and fifty-sevcn Radicals,
without any Senators from Georgia.
Mississippi, Texas and Virginia.
But such coercive measures have
been taken with these States as to
secure Radical Senators from them,
which will add eight to the fifty
seven and make the Senate stand
50 RAIDS. to 0 Democrats. Nothing
can more clearly prove that the
proceedings Of the Radical party
have been fraudulent and unjust,
than this simple statement.
But besides this, there were more
than 100000 of the most intelligent
citizens Of the Southern States dis.
franchised and deprived of their
votes. Had this not been the case,
Governor SEYMOUR would have had
q majority of some 100000 over all
who voted tor General GRANT, in
= Gliding moro than 100000 negroes
Can such wrongs be committed
without producing deep discomfort?

call that a representative govern

the people of their rights and do
prive them of all power or influence

FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

WE heard a year or two
ago, in the faintest whispers,
the word "repudiation." The
utterer, after letting this ''dis-
loyal" term slip out, generally
looked around asif expecting
some armed satrap of the
government to-lay his des-
potic paw upon him, and with
devilish leer, breathe "bas-
tile" into his ear. The world
has NOV ed, in some respects,
rapidly. This nation has
moved onward on the road to
poverty, with a marvellous
fieetness. 1t has journeyed
on toward the eliminating
point. of killing taxation
with railway speed. 1t has
travelled on into the valley of
debt, and the slough of COM
merce and the bogs of des-
pair, till their seems no road
out ; the further we 60 the
more fatal the mire. The
$3,O00,0 100000 load on the
nations back is getting heav-
iel and heavier. A year or
two ago, the interest was paid
mainly in gold; and it is caus-
ing the Taxpayers to stick in
their tracks and slump fear
fully but it is bringing
about one good result. There
are no more mere whispers of
"repudiation." 1t is shouted
out boldly and loudly all over
the land. We hear it boom
ing, like the roar ola mighty
tempest. 1t comes from
North, South, East and West,

ToMATo BATTER CAKEs.-Thc season
for that highly esteemed vegetable, the
tomato, being again at hand, VIC take
occasion, says the Columbus Enquirer,
to recommend mode Of serving them
obtained from newspaper, and which,
after trial, we can pronounce excellent.
Il is to slice them, when ripe cover them
with batter, and fry on a griddle, like
other cakes. They should be seasoned
while frying. Large and solid tomatoes
are the best for this dish. Those who
arc fond of tomatoes will take new de-
light in them fried in this way for break
fast; and we believe that many, who
have not fancicd thcm in the old styles
of serving, i'll lind them most Ralatable
in ihisway.
