~ President Grant has good deal to say
about greenbacks being broken promises to pay
coin. Even then, they are 10 worse than Grants
broken promises not to oppose any policy of his
own against the majority in Congress. Besides,
the people are willing and anxious to take the
greenback promises.

DODGE CITY.-A gentleman who arrived from

that the situation there at present is anything but

not particular about the currency till he got his
salary raised. Now, with a salary of $50 900 per
anuum, aud perquisites amounting to S77 900
more, he is unwilling to be paid in deprecated
currency. As he only gets the modest sum Of
S350.50 per day for his herculsan labOrs at the
butt end of Havana cigar, he wants it all in
gold. After comforting with Jones, who owns all
the gold mines in Nevada, he has concluded that
the people should be forced to resume specie pay
meuts at once by the repeal of the legal tender
act. And in order that they may he prepared to
do so with ease, he calls for an increase of taxa

" Treasurer Smith, of Leavenworth, was
tried at Atchison, last week, on the charge of
embezzlement of public funds. The trial lasted
several days, and the jury returned a verdict Of
guilty, as charged, fixing the amount embezzled
at $4,000. The penalty is from one to ten years
in the Penitentiary. The case has been appealed
to the Supreme Court.

II The Congregational Association of Kansas,
recently held at Topeka, adopted a resolution in

ANOTHER VIEW OF WHAT THE TROUBLE Is
The chief reason why business has not already
revived lies, in our Judgment, in the fact of the
prevailing uncertainty as to what Congress will
do in regard to the currency.
Sd says the Cincinnati Gazette. We don't be-
leye il. Congress did make feeble effort TO
regulate" the currency, but the President knock
ed It as cold as a wedge. Those operations had
no perceptible effect on business. Everybody
believes grreubaeks are the best currency we
ever had, only there are not enough of them.
Gen. Grant thinks the country onght to return
to specie payment, and his threats of vetoes in
future aud solemn pronuuciamentoes are far
more parai iyzing than anything Congress might
do-considering the official position of the man
who makes them.-CoriHgtoH, o., Gazette.

cents per day, to make wagons, buggies, harness,

petition, run out mechanics who have never been
so fortunate as to commit murder or some other
crime, giving them passport to the penitentiary.

ONE ExCEPTIoN.-Of all the Presidents of the
United States, the people never voluntarily prof
fered third term to but two-Washington and
jackson. They both could have been triumph
antly elected the third time, and the people were
eager to do it, but both firmly refused. Jeffer-
son, Madison and Monroe never schemed for third
terms, and doubtless would have refused had it
been suggested. So would Lincoln had be lived
President Grant is the only man who was not
only willing, but who schemed and shaped his
ends for a third term. The ambition of Wash
ington and jackson was satisfied, and they held
that the good of the country did not require their
further services. Grant is the only President
with isatiate greed and ambition, and with exalt-
ell ideas of his own greatness, towering over the
fame of Washington and jackson. 1t will be-
come the duty of the people, not to beg of him to
accept a third term, but to consign him to his
proper place, which he seems to have forgotten.
