THE CASE OF mr.. RGUZRE.

In Saturdays issue there appeared in the local
columns an account Of the arrest of Mr.. William
Mcclure by Oficer Charles Proctor, on the charge
Of horseWhipping o boy, and the incidents con-
nected Herewith, In which It was stated that Mr..
Mcclure was pursued into his store and drew q
pistol upon the officer, notwithstanding which
fact he was arrested. Mr.. Mcclure admits he
whipped the boy, who he says is VIGOROUSLY one
Of the worst ard most annoying lads in :he neigh
borhood, but the balance Of the story he denies,
and gives his version as follows: After whipping
the boy he going back to HIS store and stopped
to talk to a gentleman in the street, when Proc
tor, in citizens clothes, and whom he did not
know was an oficer. approached and placed
nipper on his hand and arrested him. He demanded
to know his right for this summary proceeding,
but the officer did not show any sign OF authority,
and q struggle ensued, In which Proctor drew q
billy, but which Mcclure took from him and
afterwards returned. Proctor then LEFT, and after
being absent q fewImOments returned with several
friends, this time wearing his badge. They en-
tered the store, and while Mcclure was insisting
that g warrant was necessary for his arrest. two
Of the party got behind him, aud he was crested
and taken to the station. At the Police Court
Meg uire says Proctor made a charge OF resisting
an officer but after hearing the statement, the
attorney decli ned to prosecute. the mrs. item
was obtained from Mr.. Proctor, and this is the
statement Of Mr.. Mcclure.

THE NEW COOPERATIVE BUILDING
ASSOCIATION

The meeting to effect the permanent organIza-
tion Of new cooperative building association, on
the principle Of the Franklin and others, will be
held, as will be seen by notice in another col
umn, this (Monday) evening, at T:3O O'Clock. at
MRrini's hall, street, between Ninth and Tenth.
Too much cannot be said Of these very successful
associations. Simple in principle and simple and
inexpensive in management, they at once enlist
the interest and confidence OF those who Etteni
and learn their working as will be explained this
evening.
At the preliminary meeting last Wednesday
evening Dr. Howard stated In his remarks that
Ibis observation Of the working ana benefits Of
these cooperative associations, in the past seven
or eight years, had been that great many people
Of small means and income had been enabled to
acquire homes, BY paying to the association at or
nearly equal to what they would be compelled to
pay for rent and that they had also furnished
others safe and profitable institution in which
to invest small amounts monthly"
Joining a association affords advantages
over joining one that has been lons-established
In this, that no back dues or premiums for shares
have TO be paid, thus enabling any one to make a
start.

SHALL THEY PASS FROM HAND TO
HAND AS A LEGAL TENDER?
WASHINGTON. ID. c., sept. T. 1874.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: have read with considerable interest
your recent editorials on the subject Of the
3e5-IOO bonds guaranteed by Congress to be
issued in payment Of the obligations the late Dis
trict Of Columbia and Board OF Public Works.
Your arguments TO prove their equality in value
with legal tenders are suggestive Of inquiry into
the legal right Of Congress to prOYie these bonds
to be paid in settlement Of debts 'eontractsd by
the various branches Of the late District govern
ment, thereby disturbing vested rights, as sug-
gested by your correspondent, Civil Service
The right Of Congress TO exercise exclusive legis-
lation over the District of Columbia, and the
right to declare government notes or bonds legal
tender in payment Ct public and private obliga-
tous is granted to Congress by the Constitution.
As these powers carry with than the right OF ex-
elusive jurisdiction and supreme control over per-
sons and property, including the power OF taxa
ton and seizure by military force, and have been
heretofore recognized by the Supreme COur- Of
the United States, II is plain that vested rights
are subordinate thereto. It con hardly be main
tanned that vested rights are disturbed, as pay
ments in these bonds need not be accepted. But
all persons. property and right Of property are
subject lawfully to the above conditions govern
ing Tue 1eIIllOFy OF the DlslrlcL Oh OOluLlDlA.
There is another view TO take Of this matter,
and 1t seems to be the more reasonable one, which
is In accordance with suggestions heretofore made
in your paper. There is no doubt that It is the
true course to promote the best interests and
prosperity Of the citizens Of the District to accept
in good faith, according to the true intent and
meaning of the act Of Congress, these ass bonds
as money at par in all ordinary business transae-
tionE.
The Commissioners OF the District are author
lied by act Of Congress, through the. commission
ers Of the sinking fund, to tender these bonds as
money at par in payment Of the public debt to its
private citizens. Why should we not, as citizens,
follow their example and pay and receive them at
par IN ordinary private business? No enc can be
SO narrow-minded, cynical and suspicious as to
believe that the United States will repudiats the
faith guaranteed, or not to admit the enormous
stimulating effect upon the business Of the COM
munity upon the circulation in our midst Of this
amount Of ready money.
We would suggest you to open in your columns
q subscription list, and print the names Of parties
who are ready to take these bonds at par in dis
charge Of debts in the course Of ordinary bust
ness. You have already devoted considerable
space in your columns to this subject aud the dis
eussion has been and will be Of incalcuIable
benetit to this community. Pro Bono PUBLICo.

sign and execution, are the work Of Mr.. August
Gretseh, an artist who has few equals in the
