French calf boots" and, after a life of
Unparalleled extravaganza, dissipation
and sin, conspicuous among the fruits
of which were "the graves of two beau

rock, his silk hat knocked in, broad
cloth out ut the elbow, French calf
boots out at the toes, kid gloves gone,
hogs all around him, and lie chewing

The Third Term.

We are pleased to see that the ADLER
journals of the Republican party eth
er openly oppose the third term scheme
or treat it as an impossibility. Presi-
dent GRANT gets but cold comfort from
such dignified journals as the New
York Times and the Chicago Tribune,
and the latter coolly suggests that
GRANT should run for a third term in
1880. The Tribune says in foxy
manner that President GRANT must
desire to retire on his laurels of states
manship and hints that four years of
another Presidents administration
will satisfy the people thathe is the
pilot needed to guide the ship of State
and then national demand will be
made for his elevation to the Presiden-
cy. This is kind of third term that
tho people are in favor of and Presi-
dent GRANT will consult the good of
his party and the desires of tho coun-
try, 10y stepping out to await the pub
lie demand for his return to power. AT
present we do not hear this popular
clamor for GRANTS reelection, but,
if there is anything in the signs of the
times, it is rising storm of public
opinion that will sweep Grant and
his Washington rings from power, and
they will never be re-instated.

blunders in financial affairs, but we
will not apply the appellation OF
"beggars, sneaks, thieves, etc" to them
until we convict them of these crimes.
We believe they have discovered their
mistake and will make haste to correct
them. One mistake is now apparent
to all, viz-the act by which the gov
ernment refused to receive greenbacks
for all dues. If the currency could be
received for import duties, all the ma
tions dealing with this country would
take it as readily as gold, which would
bring it to par with specie at once.
But we are told that the government
would then have no visible means of
procuring funds to redeem its paper.
This is great mistake too. The gov
ernment has several thousand tax col
lectors scattered all over the country,
who collect annually over five hun
dred millions of dollars from the peO-
pie, the most of which goes into the
treasury of the government. AT this
rate all the currency will soon tbe re-
deemed-and destroyed-then the
government will call on the bankers
for the amount due from each. There
being no currency out these banks
must collapse, or forfeit the bonds they
left as security. We are not surprised
at the stringency of money matters in
the East; the tax collectors are re-
deeming the currency and it is getting
very scarce among the people. That
is what is the matter with them, and
if the government does not stop this
class of redemption It vii! be worse
yet. All that we want is to have the
government make gold the only legal
tender, and then make its currency
equal to gold. This latter can be done
as above indicated. The bond holders
and hard money men may say what
they please, but nation of forty-five
millions of people owing debt OF over
two thousand millions of dollars, with
only six hundred and fifty millions of
in all the land, must have something
besides a metallic currency to pay the
expenses of the government and liqui-
date their Indebtedness. We believe
the wisdom of our present Congress
will be equal to the task of arranging
our finances satisfactory to all.

IT was rumored yesterday on the
streets in San Francisco that the fa-
nous race horses, Springbok and
Golden Gate, were to be sent to New
York. This would imply fear, on
the part of the owners of these IA
nous horses, that the great race
was to be failure. 1t would seem
that racing in California is destined to
an inglorious future unless the track is
divested of many of its repulsive feat
ures. The Pacific turf needs Il Bon

The Finances OF the Government.

The following is the language used
in reference to our Government, by
our townsman III. ID. BARRows in an
article published in the evening E.c-
press of the 7th:
Beggars and sneaks desire to have the use
of capital that is not theirs, against the will
ofthe owner,) without paying for il; and
thieves only go a step further and seek to
get possession of other peoples capital with
no inten tion. OF returning it7much less of
paying anything for its use. Z & ihI
Although we are as far from being an
inflationalist as the hardest money
man in the State, we do not consider
the exposition which Mr.. BARRows
has given of this subject fair one,
neither do we commend the language
used Interference to the Government.
1t seems to be the general impression
of all who write on this subject, that
the government has attempted
downright swindle upon the people,
by issuing It's small notes as circu-
lating medium, and has got value re-
'ceived from somebody for these worth
less notes, and pocketed it, and is
about to repudiate the redemption Of
them. This is not only an unfair way
to present tlds subject, but it is false
from beginning to end. The Govern
ment has not received dollar for these
notes, but as matter of accommoda-
tion issued them and loaned them to
the bankers throughout the country,
and hold the bankers responsible for
them. The government has received
as security for their payment bonds
upon which the government pays an
annual interest of about 81 per cent.
Now Mr.. BARRows would have the
government call in these greenbacks
and give other notes for them which
viii draw compound interest, thus
making the government pay double
and compound interest on three hun
dred and fifty millions of dollars. We
object to all such financeering upon
the part of the government. If Mr..
BARRows wishes to conduct his own
business upon that basis we have no
objection, but we seriously object to
being taxed to pay double interest to
benefit anybody. There is no doubt
but the authorities have made some
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-12-08
a Card.

To the Turn Verein Germania, and
all friends who assisted in paying the
last honors TO our beloved son, Freder-
ick Auten Trabant, we desire to return
our heartfelt thanks, and we trust that
the consolation bestowed at this time
ofour sore necessity, may return to
them many fold when all or any of
them are called upon to mourn the
Christening hand of death.
