IM Trouble

The Democrat Of last week mani
fes.s a great deal of chagrin towards
the Republican party OF this county,
because we did not present candi
date and join issue with them in the
race for Representative. The y EN-
ocrat should remember tAst the mo-
tives that pr lmpted the resignin g
members were corrupt and purely
partizan, that It's party made the
charge without iast groands and VIC
were not bound to answer. We now
leave you in the position of the man
who challenged another to fight a
duel and whose challange was not
accepted. The challenger exalted
over the cswardice Of his opponent,
but we think the party refusing to
accept the challenge the bravest of
the two-at least in a moral point
Of view.

the Government To specie payments. The
war has been closed four years. and dur
ing that time the country has been prepar-
Ing for return 10 specie payments; and
yet scarcely anything has been done. 1t is
true that, upon direct appeal by both
political parties. the people have decided
that all the contracts with the public cred
itors must he kept In COED faith. THIS tic
cisiCn involves return to specie as soon
rs practicable. There are three hundred
and fifty>six millions Of dollars Of demand
notes outstanding. and until the govern
mcnt has that amount of coin on hand
or until il reduces its demand notes to

nothing from its value or its security, and,

As long, therefore, as the government has

obtaining that sum. the banks need appre>
