The new coinage act that went into effect
the lst of April abolishes the silver five-cent
and three-cent pieces. They will not be
coined hereafter, and they are likely to gain
increased numismatic value from that fact,
especially those struck during the first three
months of the year 1878, as being fewer in
number than those of any full year. The act
also increases the weight of the silver dollars
to 400 grains, and styles it the trade DOLLAR
to better fit it, with its new weight and de-
vices, for the China and East India trade, fo1
which it is more particularly designed.

MUNICIPAL DEBTs.--s. 1t should be thun-
dered in the ears of the American people that
it is time to stop piling up municipal debts. "
So says the Boston Journal, and it speaks
words of truth and sobemess that ought not
to fall on listless ears. As an illustration OF
the madness that seems to have possessed the
people, or those whom they invest with pow
er, the fact is mentioned on the authority OF
the Finance Committee of the Constitutional
Committee of New York, that the aggregate
bonded debt of the counties, cities towns and
villages of that State amounts to 1914, 3l7, 676.
This is exclusive Of the State debt.

Trenton had two sensations on Friday
by between Mcssrs. Scovel, Calse and Cole of
Camden, and the other the arrest of Senator
Sheppard of Cumberland county upon an
affidavit of one Joseph Shafer, that Sheppard
did, on or about the 2Sth day Of February,
III the year of our Lord 1878, take, receive,
and accept the sum Of $500 by way of re-
ward, gift, and gratuity for giving his vote as
a member of said Legislature for this said
year in favor of bill known as Assembly Bill

facts in the case, so far as developed, seem to

with view of ascertaining whether the Air

The attempt to fasten the responsibility for
the defeat of the Local Option Bill in the
Assembly upon the Republican party is as
ridiculous failure as that to make the Re-
publicans responsible for the Congressional
salary grab. We showed, not long since,
with reference to the votes on the salary ques-
tion, that the Democratic vote was proper
tionally much larger on the wrong side than
the Republican, and had the Democrats
chosen, they could have defeated the increase
by furnishing only the same proportionate
number Of votes against it that the Republi-
cans did. 1t is the same thing over again
with the vote on Local Option in the Assembly.
The bill was killed by its indefinite postpone
ment, and of the sixteen Democratic members
of the House, fourteen voted in favor and two
against, thus killing it. OF the Republicans
fifteen voted in favor of indefinite postpone
ment, and twenty-four against This shows
conclusively enough which of the two parties
is most friendly to local option, if the Legisla-
tive votes is to taken as a test. Seven-eighths
of the Democratic members voted to kill the
measure, whereas almost two-thirds of the
Republican members voted the other way
