Repeal the Les al-Tender Acts.

The Boston Journal is paper which is
usually careful in, its statements of fact.
According to the editorial statement of
that paper, q gentleman recently called on
Mr.. Grant to thank him for his veto of
the reputation bill, and in course of CON
versation on the finance question:, Mr..
Grant declared himself very positively IN
favor of the repeal of the legal tender acts.
''He (Grant) said that the legal-tender
acts themselves should now be repealed
they had worked out their whole office !;
they had carried the country through the
war, and were no longer necessary; and he
hoped that Congress- during its present
session would repeal all the legal tender
acts, such repeal to take effect January /,
1875, and that thereafter all contracts
should be made on gold basis. He be-
lieved that this could be done without any
disturbance Of the commercial or financial
interests of the country, and, once accom-
plished, all temptation to imitation was
ended.
As regards the legal-tender acts having
carried the country through the war,
there will be widely different opinions
The better judgment is that the country
got through the war rather in spite of the
legal tender acts than with their aid. They
carried the country into a national debt OF
$4,000, 600, 900, which debt, without those
acts, would not have exceeded one-hal
that enormous amount. They carried shod
dy contract iobbing, gambling, and swim
ding to a higher pitch than they ever be-
fore went in the world, since the South Sc;
bubble They carried shrcwd scoundrel
ism from impecuniosity to vast wealth, and
honesty from competence to poverty. The.
carried fraud into places of trust, cOrrup
ton into our political life, and unscrupu
lous rapacity into the practice of govern
ment. They carried the credit of tn,
United States down to the cheap" poin
of 35 cents on the dollar, and they nov
, constitute the power of fiscal degradation
by which gamblers and swindlers are seek
? ing to carry it again in the same down
= ward direction. This, probably, is abou
all the carrying that the legal-tender act
q have done for the country.
That those acts were necessary" is b
!, no means conceded proposition; bu
whether they were once necessary or no
, it is undeniable that they are necessary n
longer. Nobody ever pretended that the
!, had any other basis than the" power.
The only plea ever set up in their detens
was military necessity" Does any mil
tary necessity exist now to warrant the col
e tinued exercise Of this war powerful
forced loan from the people on a depreci;
!, ted security? Clearly not
Mr.. Grant is right 1t is high time I
/, repeal the legal tender acts; to stop tn
exercise of the war power in time of peace
f and to leave men free to make their col
tracts on the basis of civilized money, whic
% does not otter on its face lie respectin
c. its value. Let the legal tender acts be II
e. pealed. - Chicago Times.

But the desire for union, which gave mem
beers to the oranges, also called into exist
ence other organizations with wider range
of liberty in discussing questions affecting
the common veal of the people. The

Omen Oranges.

The Patrons of Husbandry are discuss
ing the question of doing away with the
secret features of the order, and propose
that meetings Of the oranges be held with
open doors The organization may not yet
be prepared for change so radical, but it
is understood that there is a strong senti-
meut being developed in favor of the move,
and some of the most popular and inhuen-
tial members of the order are unreservcd
in their advocacy of the open grange The
number of members embraced in the
oranges; the compactness Of their organic
alton; their evident purpose to have some
thing to say in shaping the policies Of par
ties, and the immense vitality which has
characterized the action of this new power
in the social element of our country, must
invest the discussion which has arisen on
the inside of the oranges with much inter
est to the general public. 1t is difficult to
forecast just the precise result which would
flow from the removal Of secrecy from their
proceedings. 1t might involve some i'm
portant changes in the organic law of the
order; but Patrons know well enough that
in certain quarters the progress of the or
der has been retarded from this very cause
and while the grange is secret assembly,
all the farmers of the country can never
OF the grange.
A removal of secrecy from the proceed
ings would certainly have the result of
bringing in large number of farmers into
the order who will never become members
as it is. In this, therefore, the Patrons
would be strengthened by large accessions
of members. Public meetings might,
however, subject the farmers to adverse
criticism of public journals. But it is to
be doubted whether this would be iniu.
rious to the order. Everything must
stand the test of rigid examination, and
the sooner the principles with underlie
the order are thoroughly discussed and
critically examined, the better. Doubtless
there are many useless features retained
which would be dispensed with so soon
their uselessness is pointed out Again
the general outline of the principles of the
order are pretty generally known and vel
understood outside already. The mere
ceremonies attending initiation have moth
ing to do with the grand aim Of the com
bination The ritual might be done ava,
with altogether, without in the least affect
ing the objects had In view,
But this movement among the Patron
possesses deeper significance than tn
mere change of ritual or dispensing wit
passwords. There is well-developed pur
pose In the minds of perhaps large ma
lorlty OF the members Of the order to or
ganize on different basis, and for a, difFer

THE SCANDAL -Beecher makes rrpyto II
tons charges promising fuller statement here
after, He declares that f!om childhood Mrs. Ill
ton has been under his eye, and since reaching
womanhood she has had his sincere admiration
and afection-that he cherlshes for her pure
feeling such as a gentleman might houorably
offer to a Christian woman, and which she
might receive aud reclprocate without scrupIe;
that this affection was known to his family, aud
did not at any time transcend the bounds OF a
pure morality; that when Titon began 10 lead
loose life she came to him for counsel, aud
that the advice he theu gave her has been the
cause of all his trouble aud Tilton's luminosity.
He leaves his own viudication, however, to his
committee, who are to sift the matter to the
bottom, and to whom he will submit full
statement. The publication Of Titon's state
ment, while generally received as an ex parte
statement, has created strong impression. LII
Brooklyn the excitement occasloned by the
publication of the statement on Thursday even
ipg is described as intense. Previous to the
publication ofthis statement 10 Brooklyn, says
the New York Times, the current OF popular
opinion was decidedly 10 favor Of Mr.. Beech,
err: but the charges 10 the statement seemed to
carry such weight 10 the popular mind that
many who have hitherto strongly defended Mr..
B.echer had nothing to say. But Mr. Beechcr 5
friends have not all deserted him aud he has
still large number who believe in his innocence
and that he will in due time be able to clear
himself of the charges made against him.
