tions to Congress, was offered the Governor
ship of the Illinois territory, was solicited after
wards, by President Adams, to take that for
the Arkansas territory, and was offered the po-
sition of Comptroller Of the Treasury by Presi-
dent Tyler, all of which honors he respectfully
declined, believing that the mission be was to
fulfil in the world was of different character"

D. ". VOORHEES, RETIREs FROM PoLITICs.
Hon. D. w. Voorhees,, of Indiana, has an
nounced his intention to retire from politics.
In conversation recently he made the follow
ing statement:
II have made my last political speech before
the people, and l am glad of it The pleasure
of pursuing my private concerns as citizen s
exceedingly grateful to my feelings more SO
than you can conceive. I went early into poll
tics. l might have been elected to Congress at
twenty-four had my age allowed should have
been. l have been nine yeas at Washington,
and know all about it: | have fought my battles
as l conceived to be right. But all the old issues
have passed away, and henceforth new ones will
arise. And upon the new questions new set of
men will be demanded by the people. Some old
politicians try to force themselves into notice
after their day has gone by. but it is very un-
wise Parties will be changed in effect but not
in name perhaps. The Democratic party will
lberalize its organization and if it is done wise
ly, so ss to unite the elements of disafection
against the present order, they may be able TO
elect q President The name need not neeessa-
rily be changed, but the party must be essen.
TALLY new one"

JUDGE BOND DECISION. According to the
Lynchburg Press Judge Bonds recent bank
rupt decision is to be ignored by Judge Rives.
The Press says:
1.-THE decision is in direct conflict with the act
Of 18th February, 1873. Judge Rives, we learn
does not regard it as sw,and continues to deter
mine cases in direct opposition to the views OF
Judge Bond as expressed in this case. 1t Will
be seen that Judge Bond has travelled out of his
way to decide matters that are not 1T the bar,
and thereforehis opinion is mere oblter dlctum,
which the district judge does not feel bound to
regard either in law or equity. 1T should be
borne in mind that the decision of Judge Bond
affects no other cases than the one he had before
him at the time of the rendition of his opinion,
or such as may come before him in the future.
1t is more than probable that the case he has de-
cded, or another will be carried to the
Supreme Court for final adjudication. Mean
time, we learn that our district judge will in the
future continue to construe the act of February,
1878, as has been his wont in the past"
Many questions are put respecting the effect
of Judge Bonds recent decision on the Home
stead Law" as affected by the Bankrupt act 1t
may be we'll to ssy the decision of Judge Bond
is dot necessarily final. Any case where the
amount IN controversy exceeds $1,000, may, un-
der the provisions of the bankrupt act, be car
ried to the Supreme Court OF the United States.
And we understand case is in preparation to
test the correctness of Judge Bonds views by an
appealto the Supreme Court.-Lou n Mirror.

reY" A Washington dispatch says:
General discussion of the question of
the resumption of specie payments,
accompanied as it is by STEADY drain
on the premium on gold, has attracted
its due share of attention in official
quarters. The Secretary of the Treas
ury has expressed an opinion that while
Il return to coin basis as result of the
late financial panic would be quite nn-
expected, it was by no means impossible
nor improbable. 1t is admitted that
twice before the premium on gold has
been down to eight per cent, but not
under circumstances, it is maintained,
quite so favorable for resumption. The
President in conversation informed
several gentlemen who discussed it with
him, that he should earnestly commend
the subject to Congress III his annual
message. The President, in connection
with the Secretary of the Treasury and
Comptroller Of Currency, will also rec
ommend to Congress legislation looking
to stringent restrictions on National
Banks by which the legal tender reserve
can be preserved intact.

Why GRANT WAS RE-ELEcTED, Only
a year ago. remarks the New York Sun,
the men of Wall street were ting
thnn,selves to prevent the election IF
Horace Greely as President They said
that if he should be chosen there would
be danger of financial revolution; and
so they raised large sums of money to
defeat the Greeley candidates in North
Carolina and to secure the success OF
Grant in Pennsylvania in October; and
the work was done.
But notwithstanding the election OF
Grant and the perpetration of Grantism
in the Government, we are now passing
through one of the worst financial cat
aclysms ever known in the history o1
the country. The Grant system of fin.
ance is still maintained, and President
Grant has called to the management Of
the Treasury the financial genius who
suits him best in the person of Judge
Richardson. No attempt has beer
made to apply the dangerous theory Of
II quick return to specie payments
which Horace Greeley used to advocate
No such statesman as William S. Gros
beck has been appointed Secretary ol
the Treasury. The Grant party have
had it all their own way, and have done
unchecked what they liked,

capitalists are still perfectly satisfied
