dollars in gold coin, or its equivalent in Unit

contract suit WAS brought in the District Court
and Judgment rendered for plaintiff for its
amount lin gold coin" Defendant appealed.
assigning as an error that the Judgment did
not follow the alternative in the language OF
the note, but was rendered for gold coin. -
The court decides that there is no need for n
Specific Contract Act to empower court to
enforce q contract like this. The contract is
not Illegal If default be made in the nav.
ment OF the coin, there is compensation there
for: the market valyie of such coin nj the time

the proper proof, made in legal tender paper
dollars, and Judgment should be rendered ac-
eordingly. Therefore the Judgment of the
District Court being simply for gold coin is
erroneous. The case was ordered reminded

fifty. 1t is but trifiing faction, but Justly

responding representation on the Radical
State and county ticket. If the colored pop.
ulation insist upon their rights, they can com
pei the Radicals to do them this Justice and
place some Of them in nomination. II the
colored people stand upon their dignity, and
show the Radicals that their votes are not in
slavery, they can enforce n recognition in the
conventions and slight return for the favors
which are expected OF them. Otherwise, the
Radicals will regard them as simple human
chHttels, and the negroes will find that they
are only tools to be used and then kicked out
of the way; that they have only exchanged
one condition Of slavery for another. They
are eutitled to II nomination for one of the
county offices of Elko county, and for one at
least of the State Offices. The negroes of FL

The Farmers Repository.

We find. upon reference to the lilies, that the
REPOSITORY was of earlier date than we men
TONED some two weeks ago. The first number
WAS issued by WILLIAMS & BsowN on the LIST
dav of April. 1903. Mr.. Brown withdrew on
the 9Th of April, 1909.
We wen recUllect the care taken by Mr.
Williams in the press-work Of bis paper, when
tie old sbecpskiu balls were used to ink the
typc. The Repository was the organ OF the
Republican party of the Congressional district
and the Mart;usburg Gazette represented the
Fel.ral party. The word &c Democratic was
not used for many years thereafter. Bothpar-
ties favored 4 relreSeattfiee government, but
differed on the war question and some matters
Of p.li,v svch ass the nou-iutercourse act and
the embargo. jAnd this brings to mind the
fst that Massachusetts, and several of the New
England States, now so extra loyal, were ready
70 dissolve the Union, refusing to let theirmili-
tia 80 beyond their own frontiers.l
At tle time the Repository was merged in
tie Free Press eth March 1927 the old par
~ designations had been dropped and the ar
ray 80 the Presidential election Of 1928 was
jackson and Anti-Jackson, the contest terml-
mating in the success Of the former. Future
contests were between Democrats aud Wings,
with results known to most Of our readers
The issue now Is between iutolerant ana pro-
scrptiye Radicalism and liberal and just Con-
seryatjsm. We do no. altogether abandon the
idea that Truth is mighty and must prevail"
