have seen for a long time, and they begin to

A GooD CITIzEN.-He is good citizen
who obeys the laws adds something to tile
intelligence, the morals, the material in
terests, or the security of the State or the
community of which he is a member. Ii a
teacher, preacher, or a laborer, n designer,
inventor, author, or an artist, he oentitles
himself to the gratitude of all who. are
benefited by his useful devices He is not
a good or useful citizen who lives on the
earning of Others without any personal
exertion on his own part.i That lazy or
indolent man who says the world owes
me living,n is in error. On the contrary,
he owes the world his best efforts,-al his
time, and all his energies. If he give these
in full measures, he will simply entitle him
self to the enjoyment of life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. Every drone in
the human hive who consumes without
producing is simply robber.s4 On him the
law of EQUIVALENTS should be visited. . He
who will not work, neither SHALL he eat" Of
course we would not put feeble women and
young children to hard service. Ti;ese
should be favored by the strong and the
robust. And, indeed, such have their part
to fill But we insist that every able bod
led man shall do his share toward preyl-
ding Tor his own wants. ialfr95t 1lH JlBsD

uosWc agree with writer in the Standard
relative to the exhorbitant taxes imposed
upon Theatrical and Concert Troupes, and
hope that the Revenue bill. now before the
: Legislature will place only q moderate tax
on such exhibitions. a A fair and just tax
will bring more revenue into the State,
county and town treasury, than q higher

Strengthening the Public
Credit.

The act to strengthen the public credit,
was the first signed by President Grant.
This law provides, first: that the United
States notes, shall be paid in coin, second ):
that this shall be done at the earliest prac-
tical period, and third that the interest
bearing bonds Except the Pacific Rail
Roads Bonds shall not be paid, until the
United States notes are converted into
coin, or, until the bonds bearing less
interest, are par in coin.
The passage of this law, was strongly
opposed by several prominent Republican
members of Congress, chiefly on the
ground, that the laws under WHICH
United States Bonds were issued, are suf-
ficiently explicit, and cover the ground
which this additional law is intended to
reach. When however, it is remembered
how many eyasive and dangerous con-
Structions were put upon law, by the adj
vocates Of the Pendleton scheme for pay
ing the public debt, it was high time that
the Congress of the United should put it
self on the record, on this question. Scarce
ly six months ago, the Democracy of the
country, were INDUCING IN various plans
for paying United States bonds in green
backs at par. 1t was urged by some Dem
ocratic leaders, that the most expeditions
way of paying the public debt, was to
issue greenbacks enough to meet the out
standing bonds. 1t is no wonder that
distrust in American securities was created
at home and in foreign countries, when
such bold schemes for practical repudia-
ton found favor with large numbers Of
one of the great political parties Of the
country. Admit that the true intent of
the law, did contemplate the payment of
United States bonds in coin, where not
otherwise expressed, this enactment of
the first law, signed by the President is
eminently proper; it is a new and un
equivocal endorsement of the Government
that the bonds shall be paid in gold 1t
will, as the title of the act indicates,
strengthen the public credit abroad, in
spire renewed confidence, and allay fever
ish excitements which hints atrepudiation
have so frequently caused. Although the
law just passed by Congress, may add no
force to the original obligation, still it is
renewed declaration Of the Government
expressed through Representative fresh
from the people, that the public faith is
to be kept inviolate

Congress-.

The repeal of the Tenure ofOffice Law,
is still the chief matter Of discussion in
in the Senate. It has been ascertained
that majority of the Senate are opposed
to the entire repeal of the law although
it is supposed majority would favor its
suspension during the administration of
Gen. Grant. A compromise has been pro-
posed, which it is believed will satisfy the
hitherto conflicting views of the Senators.
It is proposed SO to modify the act, that
shall not apply to any member of the cab
met, and the President shall not be re-
quired to make out case of per-
sons removed; in other words, that he
may during the session, of the Senate,
propose removals and appointments at
pleasure, and leave the Senate to make
such examinations as it pleases, while
during vacation he may suspend and ap-
point at pleasure, and submit his action
to the Senate within thirty days after re-
assembling. This will leave him free to
act, without assigning any reasons for his
action.

Wonders of the Elective Tele-
graph.

The Boston 1rageZZer gives an account
of some interesting experiments, recently
made between Cambridge, Mass. and
San Francisco, California, to demonstrate
the speed of communication over the
wires. The Traveller says:
"It was proposed to begin with COM
paratively short loop, extending from
Cambridge to Buffalo and back, and then
to extend the loop successfully to Chica-
go, Omaha, Salt Lake, Virginia City, and
finally to San Francisco The plan was
put into execution on the nights of Feb
ruary 20 and March 7, and in both instan-
ces the results were extremely successful.
1t was quite fascinating to stand before
two instruments, few inches apart, and
to see and hear signal made upon one
repeated upon the other ina fraction Of a
second after having traversed distance
of over seven thousand miles.
The actual time of transmission from
Cambridge to San Francisco and back
does not probably exceed three-tenths of
a second and the 'armature times" of the
thirteen repeaters in all probability
amounting to four or fiye-tenths of a sec
ond."

Civil Tenure of Office Act.

This law which was passed to restrain
the wild extravagancies of Andrew John
son, and over the repeal of which, there
has been so much discussion in Congress,
is essentially embodied in the following,
Sec. 2, reads thus =
when any officer appointed as afore
said, excepting Judges of the United
States Courts, shall, during recess of the
Senate, be shown, by evidence satisfactory
to the President, to be guilty of mis- con
duct in Office, Or CRIME, or for any reason,
shall become incapable or legally disqual-
flied to perform It's duties, in such case,
and 6n no other, the President may sus-
pend such officer"
The law as it now stands, it is claimed
by the friends of the President embarrass
es him in the proper exercise Of his APP
pointive power. There may be good rea,
son to suspend from other cause than
specified in the Act, but the President is
precluded from suspending except for
causes mentioned.

Freedmens' Bureau.

The Senate has passed a bill for the
continuance of the educational department

the House will doubtless concur. This is
a measure of the first Importance to the
country, and especially to the colored pop
ulation of the south. The Freedmen
Bureau has been an important instrument
tality, in the establishment of schools
Throughout the southern states. Without
the aid of the Bureau the emancipated
colored people would have remained in
ignorance of necessity, for the want of
suitable teachers The Freedmens' Blu
reau has been Of incalculable value IN diff
fusing educational influence, and in eleva-
ting the condition Of the colored man. No
expenditure OF the government, has been
attended with greater and more substan-
tial benefit than this.
