AN HISTORIC FLAG

Capt. Buddiugton has brought back the IA
mou, flag unfurled by Capt. Hall when he
took possession of the land $50 2G north
latitude, Gin the name of God and the United
States" Aside from this the flag has an
interesting history. 1t is known as the
"Grinnell flag" and was first used by the
United States ship Peacock in her researches
in the Antarctic ocean with the Wilkes ex-
ploring expedition. 1t was next used by
Lieut.. De Haven in the Grinnel expedition
in search of Sir John Franklin , and subse-
quently by DR.. Kane in his Arctic explora-
tons. Still later it was used by DR.. Hayes
in his North Pole expedition, and lastly by
Capt C. f. Hall of the Polaris.

An ELASTIC CURRENCY

A Washington correspondent says: Western
Congressman who have recently been here
state that, in their judgment, the Western
members of Congress will very generally
agree to recommend the passage of a law
authorizing the issue of new convertible
bond. drawing low rate of interest, to be
issued in small denominations, convertible at
any Sub-Treasury of the United States, or
United States Depository, in currency, at the
pleasure of the holder. The object of this
convertible bond would be to secure the
greatest possible elasticity to the currency.
1t is expected that bill for this purpose will
be introduced which will provide for the issue
of such bond under such conditions as will
authorize the funding of certain classes of the
present outstanding bonds into the new bonds,
and will permit these bonds to be used by
their holders as collateral for advances of
currency from the Government at their par
value, the interest of such bonds to inure to
the Government during such period as they
may be deposi tied as collateral. This meas
ure, il is expected, will receive the unanimous
support OF the Western members, and it is
thought that the anti Administrative journals
OF the West will be induced to support it, by
reason Of the demands of their constituencies
for more elastic currency. These same
gentlemen state also that Western members
VIII be quite likely to favor the repeal of the
seventh section of the act of July IL, 1870,
which authorizes the Controller of the Cur
rency to withdraw $50, 00O.O 900 of currency
from the Eastern States for redistribution in
the West aud South, so soon as the S54 ,OOO,-
900 Of currency authorized by that act shall
have been taken up, and in lieu of that right
the West and South will nronnsa lan;sla,;o
which will specifically direct the Secretary of
the Treasury to issue the entire amount of
the 1000 900 socalled legal.ten re-
serve. This measure contemplates the abso-
lutte increase of the legal tender circulation
to the amount of $500, 900, 900, which amount
40 the Law is construed by the Secretary Of
the Treasury and by minority of the Finance
Committee of the Senate, is now the lawful
maximum.

ANOTHER ALIAS.

The democrats of New York have
adopted another alias. Last year the par
~ was known as ''liberal republicans. ="
This year it seems to have various names
and forms to suit localities and circum-
stances. In some Of their resolutions at
their State conventions they have put upon
record the fact that democracy can adapt
itself to all times and occasions. We
think it can, particularly in relation to
names and platforms. The Albany Jour
nal making search for the democratic
party finds that in Iowa it has disbanded.
in Mississippi it has done likewise. in Vir-
GINA it has taken the name of conserva-
tives. and in Wisconsin and Minnesota the
fragmentary portions which could be got
out to the State conventions have played
second fiddle" to other parties that took
the field before them.
How is 1t in New York? ?" inquiries the
Journal. and answeres as follows: "Here,
II anywhere, the democratic party might
be supposed to be vigorous and undis.
mayed. Here it has some advantages
which 1t can find nowhere else. Never
theless even here the democratic party
seems afraid OF Its identity, and is disposed
to deny itself. There is a republican
ticket in the field, but no ticket distinctly
labeled democratic" The ticket which
comes from the old democratic party ap-
pears, not under the old name. but uuder
the new designation, democratic Repub-
ltcdn." We hear no more about demo-
Gratis, but the Argus is constantly telling
US about Democratic Republicans. !"
What is the matter? Are the Argus and
its party ashamed Of themselves and their
recordP Are they trying to escape the
Odium of plain. unadulterated democracy !?
Are they seeking to hide themselves and
their misdeeds by crawling as nearly as
possible under the republican nameP
Democratic republicans Why not say
whiskey temperance menp or, French
Germans? or, bigoted liberals The
name is not sufficient to disguise them,
but it does serve as stab at Democracy
In the house OF ITS own friends and as
tribute to republicanism.
Thus, in several States the Democratic
organization is actually given up and the
party is practically disbanded. 1t not
only fails to nominate State tickets, but
even lacks vitality enough to keep up the
ORDINARY party machinery. And here, in
our own state, where it would naturally
De presumed to have more spirit than any
where else and where it was once a proud
and powerful organization. it undertakes
TO mask itself under false name copied
from that Of its adversaries. If we were
TO look only to the Argus we might sup.
