The Currency Issue.

Our opinion has been that it would be most
cxpedient to sink the currency question as a
national issue, and to leave it altogether to
the localities, as GREELEY left the tariff.
Every locality can settle the question to suit
itself. That makes the question easy, and
saves parties from being torn aud divided by
question which cannot be harmouiously re.
garded by the whole nation.
No party can triumph in the New Eng.
land States that favors what the close people
up there call "ii tlation"; and we imagine

The statute provides that within one year after

as nearly equal as may be without dividing town;
and that the grand jurors and traverse Jurors snail
be drawn from said districts in such way as 10 give
all parts of the county a representation IN inc coll
stitution of said jury.
To this the County Attorney replied by genera

sender, to the stand, who presented copy OF the
