Gov Scntcr treats with sovereign
contempt the impatient and disgraceful
suggestions Of Maynard d. Co., Of re-
converting the dcfunct Legislature, for
the purpose Of ratiiying the proposed
Fifteenth Amendment. Thus expIodcs
the last and most hellish intrigue of

that the impartial historian must en-
cumbcr his page with their damnablc

receive their just reward.

splendid military talent of the South;
and we believe that no long time will

And fractional currency in modera
ton is desirable.
But the amount of money in circula
ton is not properly distributed.
Most of the trouble in business anc
financial circles is caused by people
who havn't got any money, but who
want it, and being unable to pay II
back again.
Now if every body had as much mo
ney as he wanted, he would not have te
borrow, or run in debt for anything
and every body would be in comforta
bic circumstances and enjoy themselves
A paper currency is the only curren
cy which makes this happy state of at
fairs possible.
Let Congress order enough green
backs to be printed to give every man
ten thousand dollars
With five thousand extra if he has a
wife, and thousand for each addition
to the family.
This would make every poor man
comfortable
And encourage the family relation.
At this rate, with the present popu,
lation of the United States, we should
become the wcalthiest nation on the
face of the globe.
Not having any further use for gold
or silver, we could manufacture it into
jcwelry and plate, and every man could
have a gold watch and silver service.
AS to rcdeeming the currency, that is
out of the question.
Paying debts is an unfortunate habit
that has been inflicted upon us by ty-
rannical custom inherited from the mis-
guided nations Of the old world.
1t has been persevcrcd i'll too long.
Let us rather follow the example Of
the enlightened Wall street broker who,
when he found himself embarrassed,
signed over all his property to his wife,
like devoted husband, and hcroically
took the benefit of the bankrupt act.
Yours financially,
CORY OIANUS.

" Did / not dance, shout and caress

railroads under a lease which provides
that it shall not be lawful for any cor

therefor, was adopted.
ALBANY, April 29-In the after
noon session of the Assembly, II.

vestigate the affairs of the Merchants
Union Express Company, submitted
a report and testimony taken. Dir.
Hustled submitted the minority re
mort, which was ordered printed. The
majority report reviews the history o.
| the Company, and details the dIfhcul
ties encountered aud the ext0rtlons
of railroad companies, showing loss
| of S3,500,000 during It's separate ex
istence. The loss of the old com
panies during competition was muot
greater. 1t acquits the Officers of th'
company of any corruption in manip
Mating its stock. The comm tte'
think consolidation was the only re
course left to the complny. The con
sent of a majority OF the stoekh0lder
was fairly obtained, and it does no
appear that the officers of the com
nany received any special benefit from
fusion to the prejuasce of the stock
holders. The Committee condemn to
voting of $50 shares of stock to HI w
SIocum and John A. Green, and 80
shares to Il. G. Stark, as compensa
ton for retiring from the Executiv
Committee, and also condemn th
