THE PRESIDENT, CONGRESS, AND THE PEO-
PIE ON THE FINANCES.

With the single exception of the Philadelphia
Press, whose dissent is by no means vehement,
all the leading newspapers seem to heartily ap-
prove the Presidents views on finance. They
endorse his recommendations that measures be
taken for return to specie payments, and they
seem to approve too, the means which he sug-
gests as effective to that end. Nothing is more
plain than that the references to finance are
the vital portions of the message, and that all
other subjects which it considers are to Congress
and the people comparatively unimportant. No
other topic secures the public attention, or ex-
cites serious remark.
In the present temper of Congress- then, what
will be the result ? The Inilationists claim, and
not without some show Of reason, that the re-
cent elections favored their action, and indica-
ted disapproval rather than encouragement to
the hard-money policy. True the vote was one
over which the New York Tribune and World,
both intensely opposed to Ii aation, went into
Hpasms Of rejoicing, but they were sure to do
that whenever the Republican party suffered
reverse, even il the sure consequences Of it
were to be doubling in the volume of the cur
rency. That they, and other hard-money jour
nails, therefore, should express pleasure over
the Congress elections does not dsprove the ar-
parent fact that the Expansionists really seemed
to gain strength in October and November.
In addition to all the reasons for doubt and
indecisicn which disturbed the last session OF
Congress, the unwillingness OF the present one
to adopt any vigorous or pronounced line of ac-
tion il reasonable, and yet further to deter it
comes this doubt whether the people have not
Indicated their opposition to specie-resumpton
measures What, then, we ash, can or will Con-
gress do under the circumstances2
Any reasonable policy, we think, would be
better than none. Undoubtedly the country de-
sires action. The road pointed ont by the Pres
ident is good one. Let it, by all means, be
taken, and let us trust that the result will JUS
.tify the action. No party can live on the paper
money platform, and il the Democracy, from
party spirit, choose to oppose Congress, af-
ter it has adopted specie-return policy, they
must ultimately go to destruction the other
side Of the question. Let us take the safe side,
and leave them the tarred end Of the stick

The DelusIon OF a nream.

young married woman in Worcester dreamed
twice last week that she would die at midnight
on the first anniversary of her wedding day, and
80 strongly was she impressed with the vision
that she actually made preparations for her fui-
neral, and even gave sum OF money to a friend
TO purchase mourning. Her husband, becoming
alarmed at her condition, consulted medical
friend, stating all the facts of the case. The
astute doctor, after minute cognition, discov-
cred way out Of the difficulty. Telling the
husband to keep the patient amused as much AZ
possible till late in the day he went down to the
harmless narcotic, which kept the lady asleep
till the dreaded moment had passed. She Il
now in good health, and joins with her friends
IN laughing at her superHtitious fears.

Pig-Eaced Ladies'

What are we to say Of pig faced ladies There
have been claims for many; but the search for
their authenticity seems to have been az uncer-
tain as Mr. Thom's search for reliable evidence
concerning the alleged age OF Old Par and Henry
Jenkins. Country fairs frequently annouoee
themi foreign populations believe in them and
many exciting stories are told concerning them
one narrative tells that newly-married lady OF
rank and fortune, being annoyed by the impor-
tuniues OF wretched beggar woman, who was
away your nasty pig; shall not give you any
thing. Whereupon the inconsed beggar retort-
ed, MAY your child. when ii is born, he more
like pig than mine ~ Alas the lady's child
came into the world with pigs face grew up To
be woman, beautiful in form all except
tile face; but hoggish in feeding aud main
nefs, and lived and died in a hospitaI
founded and maintained by her wealthy pa
rents. Equally yeraclous, we suppose was the
story Of Belgian gentleman who renounced the
Chnrch and embraced Judaism the first child
porn 10 INN afterward had pigs face but III
later years, when the father recanted and the
daughter was baptised, the face mraculonsly
changed to human form. A third story is that
OF Janakin Skinker, born in Rhenish Holland in
1913, well proportioned i'll form else, but pig
faced, having no other power of language than
grunt She, or her parents offered fI0 900
| TO any gentlemhn who would marry her many
gallants came, but one aud all begged to decline
when they had seen her. unfortunately two
| printed pamphlets exist, one in English and the
other IN Dutch, each counterpart of the O ther,
but whereasln in one she is said to have been born
az Wlckham-on- -the-lthine, the other assigns
Windsor-on- -the-Thames as her birth place and
we may not unwisely disbelieve them both. An

warm debate on finance started up, yester-
day, in the House Of Representatives, brought on
by the agency of Mr.. Dawes, of Massachusetts,
who regards this, justly, as the leading question,
and thinks it should be met. Judge Kelley spoke
in favor Of his 1865 interconvertable bond scheme,
and General Butler supported him. General
Garfield spoke at length on the other side, urg-
ing return to specie payments, aud endorsing
earnestly the Presidents recommendation.
Wilmington daily commercial., 1874-12-09

The arguments which the President adduces
IN support Of his recommendations OF return
TO specie are not strikingly novel nor presented
with the skill OF scientific economist. But
they are unanswerable, and have been 80 at any
time this last century. The utteraces OF plain
man like General Grant, even if they do not
proceed from any very profound knowledge of
the subject cannot but have good effect among
other plain people, who believe in him and trust
what he says-M \. Tribune.
This is specimen of the kind of newspaper
snobbishness which we particularly despise
Who're is the proof that this writer knows more
of the matter than President Grant ? Certainly
not in the articles from which these sentences
are taken, neither in other articles which have
appeared in the Tribune on the subject. Yet
there is here an insufferable assumption OF su-
periority,-as much as to say, II ,oe had under
taken the elucdation OF this matter you would
have heard something, but as it is only General
Grant who is talking he must be put up with.
Profound fiddlesticks. IL not the country

and that they cover the whole ground2 The

The Fresno ErpOsitOr of January
Dist informs us that Monday morning,
10th, three MeXicans arrived in town,
from the California ranch, bringing as
prisoner one Ignacio Rankel, motor
iously bad character, and supposed to
be one of the gentlemen who gave
surprise party in Kingston recently.
This prisoner is the same person who
shot another Mexican some time ago,
causing the amputation Of his leg.
The MeXicans bringing him here were
a portion of the party who came here
on Tuesday last, asking the protection
of the authorities against parties who
were hunting the Vasquez gang.
They were informed at that time by
the county authorities that, although
they might be innocent themselves, it
was impossible for these periodical
raids to occur without their being cog
infant of some of the parties engaged
in them, and that the safest way for
them, if they wished the protection of
the law, was to take hold and help ar
rest these law-breakers. Itseems they
came to this conclusion, and, noticing
Rankel hanging around, knowing him
to be a very bad character, and becom-
ing convinced by certain circum-
stances that he was one of the bandits
concerned in the raid on Kingston,
they arrested him and brought him to
MillertOn, where he occupies commO-
dious apartments in the Hotel-de-
COunty-jail.
