act has been paesdd 10y Congress he nenatS
by 80 to Is, and thS House by il9 to l61s Such,
NccloEatiNn " thv legislative dspdrt@snt of
the nation seems 70 be emihcntis timely and
proper, and very suitable rebuke to the effort
of those who arc willing that the credit Of the
Iqovrnment should DC tarnislied Ivy partial
reputation of its plightcd faith and obliga-
tions: - ..,.
/ De IL eb1ectei, That in order to foniosc my
doubt ~ 70 the purpose of the Government to
discharge all Just obligations 10 public credit
ors, and 10 settle conflicting questions and in
terpretations Of the laws ly virtue of which
such obligations have been contracted, 1t is
hereby provided and declared that the faith Of
the United States is solcmnly pledged to the
payment in coin or its equivalent of all the
obligations of the United Statea, except in
cases where the law authorizing the issue of
any such obligation has expressly provided
that the same may be paid In lawful money, or
other currency than gold and silver
SEC. ,. Aid be 10 FURTHER enacted, That any
contract hereafter made specifically payable in
coin, and the consideration of which may be Il
loan of coin, or sale of property or the rem
dcring of labor or service of any kind, the
| price of which as carried into the contract may
have been adjusted on the basis Of the coin
/ Vmuc tle1eoI NJ tne umc OF SUCH saIo OF lnc
rendering of such service or labor, shall be
legal and valid, and may be enforced according

Congress has thus eyinced its purpose to
keep faith with the. nations creditors in the
spirit of the platform of principles cnunciated
by the convention which nominated Grant and
Celfax, aud fesolyed:.. d.. s.r. ...t.ri..,.
b We def1otnCe all forms of reputation as
a RATIONAL crime; and the national honor re-
quircs ibc payment of the public Indebtedness
in the Utmost good faith 10 all creditors at
home and abroad, not only according to the
letter, but the spirit Of ,he laws under which
il wAs contracted. .... ..tI I......
8. That the best policy TO diminish our bur
den OF debt is TO so improve our credit that
capitalists will seek To loan lis money at lower
rates of interest than we now pay, and must
continue to pay so long as reputation, partial
or total, open OF covert, is threatened or sus-
pcctcd,
Thcte have been those who denied That the
depression of our national credit grew out OF
a widespread apprehension that our debt
weuld tot be honesty paid; thcy are con-
founded by the effect of this declaration. Tic
market value of our. national obligations Tal
signally appreciated hi both htmispheres by
the vote of the House, and will doubtless be
still further enhanced by the concurrence o.

' PRIZE -FfojtTiSG.- - Brother RiyEzEI, editor
of the Warren Chr0niclc, who is d menitef Of
Assembly, introduced a bilT the other day to
suppress prize-fghting, in which it was made
a penal offense to publish in detail the trans
actions Of the ring. For this some of the
newspapers in the State attempt TO heap upon
him unmeasured ridiculc for attempting to
muzzle the press in making a true record Of
the ne'rs of the day.
In this hue and cry we feel no inclination
to join. Though it may appear little string
ent to impose penalty for such publications,
yet the publication of these punmclling
operations is the worst OF the two evils. If
the managcrs.Of Il journal will persist in the
publication of the details of these brutal en-
counters, in the ince of their own confessions
of their evil effects upon the morals of the
community, and to the great disgust of large
proportion Of their readers; and if the ring is
10 survive, in defiance of law, under the en-
couragcmcnt given TO it by the press, how is
the evil tn be abatcdY We confess we can see
no way. If, then, such legislation us that pro-
posed by Mr.. Ritezel is calculated to reach the
evil, we believe III making the experiment,
and not only approving the aw but in uphold
ing and sustaining it. The prctensc that any
paper Is likely to suffer from u uniform refusal
to notice these fights, seems to be nothing but
a pretonse. The claim might be set up with
equal, If not with much greater force that
patronage would be lost by disregard of the
feelings of that class of readers who dsap-
prove and condemn such publications. These
! fights have never been noticed in the 7eegruM
! and such Of our readers as relish such para
graphs know very well that 10 indulge tha,
relish they have to look elsewhere than to its
columns. II seems TO us that if readers and
patrons would take this matter in hand, and
direct their patronage only where they could
avoid these disgusting details, they would do
something toward the correction Of the evil
sought 10 be remedicd. We trust Mr.. Ritezel
will persist In carrying his bill through, so TINT
we may liayc IN opportunity to witness its cf.
ccts, and IL IL shall prove cficacious, 10 thank
him tor his efforts in behalf of public morals

Death Of Albert Lange.

On Sunday afternoon at his resi-
dence in Terre Haute, in the sixty
eighth year of his age, ALBERT
LANCE breathed his last. AS he was
well known to most of our citizens,
copy from the E.rprcss a brief sketch
of his life:
Mr.. Lange was born at Charlotten-
burg, Prussia, on the 10th December,
1901. His youth was passed in the
schools Of his native country, and
when he had attained sufficient age he
became a student of the celebrated
University of Halle. Here he gradu-
ated with distinction In 1923, and i'm
mediately betook himself to the study
of the law. He devoted great atten-
ton to preparation for his profession,
and entered upon the practice of it
with a fine prospect of success. He
was, however, Of the liberal school of
politics, and became much interested
in Republican institutions and in GER
tain government reforms which were
then being discussed. His zeal in
these matters made him obnoxious
to the authorities Of his native eoun-
Liys Guu Gd0oGQ nAIl " leave IL anu
emigrate to the United States in 1929.
He came to this city in 1886, and has,
during the past thirty-three years,
made his home among US. Mr.. LANCE
held the Office Of magistrate for many
years, comforting honor upon the of
fee. In 1849 he was appointed Uni
ted States Consul to Amsterdam.
whittier he removed with his family
and spent two years. Returning in
1851, he was shortly after elect
ed Auditor of Vigo County, and
served consecutiyely as such un-
til 1860, when he was elected
Auditor Of State, and filed that Office
during a single term, with great credit
to himself. Soon after his return
from the Capital, Mr.. LANCE was
elected Mayor Of this city, and subse-
quently reelected to the same office.
Since his retirement from the Mayor
aIty he has been somewhat engaged
in the practice of his profession, but
has been deVotiug his chief labor to
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1869-07-27

the preparation Of an abstract Of
titles of the real estate Of our county
a much needed undertaking. which
has been performed with the most
pains-taking care and exactness so
far as completed by him.
In the death of Mr.. LANCE our
community loses one of its most hon
ored and estimable citizens. He was
a man Of rare scholastic attachments,
finely versed in the classics, thor
oughly educated in the literature of
Germany, be had also acquired famil-
iarity with the whole range of Eng
Iish studies. In addition to the learn
ing of books, Mr.. LANCE possessed
fine practical sense which made him
an excellent business man. Few per-
sons are to be found who were better
| fitted for official life or the discharge
of official duties. He was mild,
affable and courteous gentleman IN
all his relations with his fellow men.
His sense of personal honor was very
fine, and his integrity and honesty
unquestioned. All that he under
took in life was well done, and he has
left behind him a memory which will
long be cherished by our citizens.

ANOTHER railroad consolidation has
just taken place, or rather two inter-
ests have been united, which jointly
will be much more powerful than
when operating alone. An AMIGA

upon between the Erie and the fole-
do, Wabash u Western Roads, where

resented in the Wabash directory.
The road from Decatur to st. Louis,
a project in which the Wabash has a
vital interest. is to be built as con-
templated by the Wabash; the Wa
bash Road will operate the road from
Naples to Hannibal, at which point it
will connect with the contemplated
road to Kansas City, known as the
Moberly route, connecting at Kansas
City with the Kansas branch Of the
Pacific Road.
The Erie Railroad is to continue
the broad gauge line Of the Atlantic

controls, to Toledo, Ohio, connecting
with the Wabash Road, and forming
a continuous line to the Mississippi.
By means Of the still further West
ern connections named, the Erie will
be able to largely control the travel
from all the West and Southwest,
which is penetrated by the Kansas
Pacific, the Fort Scott Road, and the
line to Santa Fe, the first two now
being in operation, and the latter
under contract and partly construct
