RETURN TO SPECIE PAYMENTS.

Many Of those best yersed in financial
matters are OF the opinion that specie
payments will soon be resumed. This
is one Of the results likely to follow the
recent panic. Senator Sherman, OF Ohio,
in u recent speech at Springfield, called
attention to some defects in the banking
system, one of which was that green
back, though very good thing to have,
was not as good as gold. Senator Sher-
man continued:
Now, never will be content myself
until the Republican party makes every
dollar Of greenbacks in the pockets Of
laboring men as good as the best gold
coin that was ever coined. / know the
people and bankers sometime say it is
going to contract the currency, but that
is all humbug We can go back to spe-
Gle payment; we can 90 back until our
money is equivalent to gold and silver
coin, and then we have the best currency
in the world. will not debate this diff
ticult question; but tell you, my coun
trymen, whether you are Democrats o.
Republicans, that the people Of this
country ought never to cease to agitat'
this question until their money is AZ
good as gold, and then they are on {
sure rock, an eternal foundation. In al
ages and in all countries it has got to b.
An axiom in financial matters that golt
alone is the standard Of value, and thu
planetary laws that govern the univers
are not more fixed and absolute in thei
SWAY than that law which demands tina
everything shall be measured by tn
gold standard, and the very momen
you make your paper money as good a
gold coin, then you have got currenc
that you may live by, die by, and leav
to your children and widows without feo
or favor.

A DELICATE QUESTION.

A delicate question is destined to come
before the Supreme Court of California
within the next few months, to-wit:
Whether Justices Of the Supreme Court
elected to fill vacancies are entitled 10
serve for a full term Of ten years. OF the
justices now on the Bench, Chief Justice
Wallace was elected in 1869 for full
term Of ten years; Justice Rhodes was
elected in 1871 for a full term Of ten
years. These are the only two Justices
about whose tenure Of office there Is no
question. Shafter, it should be remem-
bered, drew the ten-year term in Jan
uary, 1864, and was entitled to hold ONCE
for ten years, but late in 1861 he re-
signed, and Crockett was appointed at
the Judicial election in 1863, Crockett
Was elected by tine people. Sanderson
was reelected in 1865 for full term Of
ten years but in 1870 he resigned and
Temple was appointed; in 1871 Niles was
elected to supply the vacancy. sprague
was elected in 1861 for a full term Of ten
years; bot he died in 1872, and Belchel
was appointed; and yesterday either Nc.
Zee, MeKinstry or Dwinelle was elected
to fill Sprague's place. Now, the ques
ton arises: Was Crockett elected fol
the residue Of Skaters term, which
would expire in January next, or for
full term. to expire in December, 1873
Was Niles elected for the residue OF San
derson's term, to expire in 1876, or for
full term, ending in 1881: Was OWN
ellie, Mckee or McKinstry, elected yes
terday for the residue of Sprague's term
which expires in 1879, or for full term
ending December, 1888: The embar
RAISING point is that both Niles AM
Crockett are interested; but then Belche
has no direct interest in the matter, no
has Wallace or Rhodes.

Success Based Upon Merit.

1t is a subject of general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such a popularity and met with
so large a sale in all parts of the land, in the
same length of time. as DR.. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
its having been more largely advertised than
any other medicine, as such If not the case.
The correct explanation, we think. is found in
the fact that this medicine produces the most
wonderful and perfect cures of very bad cases
of bronchial. throat and lung diseases, is un-
doubtedly the most perfect and efficient rem
edy for all kinds of coughs that has ever been
introduced to the public, and at the same time
possesses the greatest of blood-purifying and
strengthening properties that medical science
has been able to produce, thus rendering it a
sovereign remedy not only in the cure of Con-
sumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and Coughs,
but also for all diseases of the liver and blood,
as scrofulous diseases, blotches, rough skin,
pimples, black specks and discolorations. 1t
has therefore a wide range of application and
usefulness, and it not only gives the most per-
feet satisfaction to all VIC use it, but far ex-
ceeds the expectations of the most sanguine,
thus eliciting the loudest praise, and making
permanent liUiag advertising mediums of all
who use it. For these reasons it is that there
is not perhaps a druggist in all the vast domain
of this Continent, who tries to please his GUS
toners and supply their wants, that does not
keep and sell large quantities of this most
valuable medicine.-[Com.

emitting the PRAYER.

On last Friday West Tate, colored,
was hung in Ellerton for the murder OF
another negro. When the Sheriff, at
81 minutes past II, adjusted the rope
around his neck and fastened the cap
over his face, he began to show signs OF
feeling. The Sheriff descended the
steps, and as he did SO he could see the
waiting criminal tremble and his knees
knock together, betraying considerable
agitation. A minister was summoned
to pray, when, just as he was about to
commence his petition to Almighty God
in behalf of the victim, the doomed
man, with the words, CT s'pose I might
as well get off myself" slipped from the
scaffold and thus attempted to hasten
his fate. The Sheriff mounted the scat
fold hurriedly, and. with assistance,
raised the now apparently senseless and
lifeless body, whose limbs had no power
(nor did he utter a single sound, to tPe
platform, on which he laid it, and Care
fully adjusted the rope about his neck.
Descending, he consulted the minister,
and it was thought best, under the cir
cumstances, to dispense with the prayer.
He then heightened the rope to suit the
position of the body-which, though it
had not hung by the rope one minute,
still betrayed no signs of life-and
sprung the trap at 43 minutes to II, and
the soul of this poor, ignorant creature
was launched into eternity. In five
minutes after the body was swung off
respiration ceased to be observable. The
legs were drawn up several times, and
he vainly tried to raise his hands, to re-
leve his neck from the s~trangling rope,
which in the peculiar fall of the body
had been displaced, the knot being Just
above the left jaw-bone, and the greatest
strain being on the right side and back
of the neck, causing the head to fall
back in an unnatural position. The
breathing up to the time had been very
labored, accompanied by something like
a suppressed snore. Though the breath
ing ceased at the expiration of five min
utes, the pulse still continued to beat,
and in thirty-fve minutes he was dead.

Story of a Picture.

A painter once wanted a picture of in
nocence, and drew the likeness of a child
at prayer. The little supplicant was
kneeling beside his mother; the palms
Of his uplifted hands were reverently
pressed together; his rosy cheek spoke
of health, and his milk blue eye was up
turned with the expression of devotion
and peace. The portrait of young Ru-
pert was much priced by the painter,
who hung it up on the study wall and
called it Innocence" Years passed
away, and the artist became an old man.
Still the picture hung there. He had
often thought of painting a counterpart
the picture of "Guilt"-but had not
found the opportunity. At last he eff
fected his purpose by paying a visit to a
neighboring jail. On the damp floor of
his cell lay a wretched culprit named
Randall, heavily ironed. Wasted was
his body and hollow his eye; vice was
visible in his face. The painter sue
ceeded admirably, and the portrait of
young Rupert and Randall were hung
side by side, for Innocence" and
"Guilt." But who was young Rupert
and who was Randall ? Alas the two
were one. Old Randall was young Ru-
pert led astray by bad companions, and
ending his life in the damp and shame
full dungeon.

Snurgeon on american Lecturipg.

The other day Mr.. Sturgeon gave an
account of the invitations he had re-
ceived to go America. 81 will tell you,"
he said, Zone little thing that happened
to me this afternoon. I had a letter
from a gentleman well known in Amer
lea, giving me this offer, S25, 900 for
twenty-five lectures-that is e200 for
each lecture. On these terms the twen-
ty-fve lectures would give me 95, 900,
and that in a hundred nights l should
have $40, 900. Besides this I should be
allowed to lecture for as many
nights as I chose, SO that | might, in
the course of a year be worth e40, 900,
and no doubt the persons who under
take this would carr ten times the
amount.
81 have nothing to do but to leave
YOU for a year. and come home with
twenty or forty thousand pounds, while
if 1 stay here I shall have nothing like
that. What do you suppose was my an
swer to this offer? [ wrote: :" If you
were tomultiplythat offer byone hundred
times, and again by one hundred times,
I should feel it just as easy to decline as
I do now, when I say 1 cannot cross the
ocean to lecture upon any subject what
ver L am a minister OF the Gospel,
and never lectured for money, and don't
intend to do so now and if my people
do not support me, it is a pity Some
people would say, why not go over to
America and get the money to build the
college. shall not do SO, because I
shall not do one thing to disgrace myself
nor degrade you. I shall not make any
appeal to another country to do what you
can and ought to do. There are two
brothers here tonight who have received
offers from America. Each man can lee
ture as we'll as preach, and there is nc
harm in their having 500 pounds and q
holiday. IF 1 were in their position
should do the same thing; but
cannot leave the college, nor the or.

with silver and gold from top to bottom

I should not go to preach the gospel
but to lecture and I cannot do this, no
not for the national debt"

The Alligator.

In one of her letters from Florida,
Mrs. Stowe thus writes of the alligator
"Amid this s~erpent-like and con-
7oluted iungleof scaly root, how natural
to find the scaly alligator looking like an
animated form of the vegetable world
around. Sluggish, unwieldy, he seems
a half-develrped animal, coming up from
a plant-perhaps a link from plant to
animal. In memory, perhaps, of a pre-
vious woodland life, he fills his stomach
with pine knots and bits of boards, wher-
everhec can find one to chew. 1t is his way
of taking tobacco. I have been with a
hunter who dissected one of these ami
mails, and seen him take from his stom-
ach a mass of bits of bricks, worn
smooth, as if the digestive fluids had
somewhat corroded them. The fore leg
and paw of the alligator has a pitiful
and rather shocking resemblance to the
human hand, and the muscular power is
so great, that in case of the particular
alligator I speak of, ever after his head
was taken off, when the incision was
made into the pectoral muscle for the
purpose of skinning, his black hand and
arm rose up and gave the operator quite
a formidable push in the chest"
