THE GULF AT GALVESTON.

gS9S a s: s sd ,sSs ,sDS zeal
Like . despairine giant who, in dying,
Claspeth his ady's knee,
And strives to win. by prayer and low complain
one word Of pity from her lips disdaining.
The sand-dr lift their low and shining lines
Above their ridges the wild sea lag only,
With long, dark leaves declines,
And on the beach below with endless mourning
Thy fretful waves are breaking and returning
Such art thou when the winds are laid to rest,
Thy waves obey the summsns promptly-proudiy
Thou wearest thy m srtisl creeti
Thou leapest forth, exulting and defiant
Then is thy roar more awful than the slow
And measured thunder of tn Atlantic's bilOw.
Even as q mailman rouses from his pillow
Thou leap'st upon thy foe;
And the low shrieks, the prayer. the bitter wall
That leave the shipwrecked bark are unavailing.
The watchers from their dwellings by the shore
Strain esger glsnces Ger the seetbing water;
Wild tears are shed by mother, wiYs and daughter
For those who come no more
And screaming Ger thy waves the eagles flying
Make to thy surging harsh and hoarse replying.
Even az an armed host against the strand,
Thy fast and frantic waves arc seen advancing;
Above them, the white foam, like plumed helms
Cleans Ger the drift of sand.
The sea flag bows beneath the pillows dsshing
Far up, like spear and banner, brightly flashing.
Oh, gulf Of terror, what wise Power controls
Thy fierce convulsive passion, and allayeth
The fearful mood that eft thy being swsyeth
As madness human souls
What voice Commands thee back and stays thy
surginR,
Even as thy waves their bitter sttife are urging =
Why sweep not thy wild waters DER this wan
Fair island of the deep, at once removing
All yestiGe of the Young, the true the loving
All memory Of maHf
Low lies the island-high the waves sre lesping
Why pause they ever, in their onward sweepinsi
The answer 10 with God We can but pray
That still His hand of mercy may be lifted
Above the creatures with his promise gifted
The fiasbing wave to stay
We can but trust, and from the past must gather
Our right to hope for mercy from the Father.

LETTER ON CURRENCY,

Copy of "a Letter from the Hon. r. j.
Darant, Addressed to Gentleman In
Ohio. dated Washington, District Of
Columbia, August, 1873.
DEAR SIR-lt is said Sir Robert Peel
once puzzled the House of Commons BY the
abrupt inquiry: "What is pound?' and NO
one was prepared to give an immediate an.
swer. In our country We seem now to be
puzzled by a similar question: "What is a
dollary" To this some one, placipg his hand
upon the law, says: A dollar ia a coin of
gold or silver, struck at the United States
mint, and one of gold must be of the stan.
dard weight of twenty-five and eight tenths
grains UNITED States Revised Statutes, sec.
tion 351l) of which tenth, or two grains
and fve-tentha, are copper United States
Revised Statutes, section 1914. A gold
dollar, then, contains 80 many grains of
pure gold, but that amount OF gold, unless
stamped at the mint, could not be q dollar,
and would not pass as such. The gold be.
comes dollar because the law so Ordains,
but this is not the only dollar. The law
also says United States Revised Statutes,
section 35l3) there shall be q silver coin
called dollar, weighing 420 grains, Of
which One-tenth copper; and thus certain
amount Of pure silver, duly stamped by the
United States, also makes O dollar, There
10 no reason why either the gold or silver
dollar should have the weights assigned to
them respectively save the will of the Legis-
lature. Any other weights might be OF.
dered, end IT Congress should ordain that 60
much platina, nickel, copper, or what not
should be dollar, dollar it would be.
The law also saws, United States Revised
Statutes, section 357l, United States notes
shall be Of such denomination not less than
u, a. the Secretary may prescribe" The
fact that such notes are declared ON their
face payable to bearer is of NO consequence,
and indeed mere surplusage, since they are
legal tender in payment of debt; they
would be dollars without that promise, lust

twenty-five cents each, will 90 for dollar,
although they have no promise to psy

1t is said that the gold or silver dollar has
intrinsic value, but this ID an inaccurate
mode Of expression when used, as it gen.
orally is to imply an inherent, fixed and
certain quality, because value itself is the
relation between objects or services of
utility and expresses only that relation
which must be constantly changing &C.

THE CREOLE DEBATING CLUB,

Sabject Of Debate: s'The Relative Merritt
of the Pure and tho Mixed NIathe.
mattcs.n
NEW ORLEANS, October 9, 1875.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Last hight, while perambulating the
streets in the lower part of your city,
CHANGED to light upon q debating society
in full blast. coon gathered from the
animated discussion and from frequent
allusiens to the constitution, in the solu
ton of numerous points of order, that the
institution ia styled "The Creole Debating
Club" and that its special object is the
boxing Of the literary compass towards
Southern literature a. distinguished from
the literature of the English language.
The hall, situated in the upper story Of
venerable pile, probably reared in the
time Of the. French dominion, was of low
ceiling, but otherwise spacious enough for
the forty members and slight sprinkling
of spectators; and. barring sensible
cigaretta perfume, the atmosphere was de-
cidsdiy literary. The subject under dis
QUESTION was the relative merits of the pure
and the mired mathematics.
Coming in whom the debate was under full
headway, could not at first catch the pre-
cise thsms Of disputation; the member then
speaking scattered his Hre rather reck-
lessly; the range Of the debate seemed
wide; but fortunately for your inquiring
reporter, the grave and obliging president
had cessation. soon affair NV entrv. "a re-

tion to take further testimony had not
in any way clouded their vision, or oc-
cupied their thoughts directly or indi-
rectly. Foreman Carpenter assured
Judge Nelson that ne was right, as
he had questioned many of the jury,
and they all told him they never had
it in their thoughts tall. The Judge said
he was much gratified to hear that, and
he would, therefore, discharge them.
The clerk then stated that they were
now discharged.
New York, July 3.-The Times to-
morrow publishes the following:
The Times reporter has ascertained
tonight from the most reliable author
ity. the next movement on the part OF
Tilton, will be to indict Gen. Tracy for
perjury, upon the grounds that Tilton,
Moulton and Woodruff, distinctly
stated to him the charge against
Beecher was adultery. While on the
witness stand, he made reference to
improper proposals only. Tilton has
been advised to take this step by
counsel who have had nOthing to do
with the trial. 1t Is believed the pro-
ceedings will be taken in this matter
without delay.

LOCAL MINING AFFAIRS.
Unusual Enthusiasm-Exciti De- veIOpments and Discoveries on all Sides.

The interest manifested in mines by the people hereabouts actually amounts to enthusiasm, and best of all, there appears to be no doubt of the enthusiasm being based upon a rich and permanent founda- tion. The developments made in mines in this county during the past six months, have exceeded in richness and extent the expectations of the most sanguine miners and men engaged in mining-Or rather opening mines The Santa Rita, PatagO- mia, Sierrita and other mountains to the south and west of here, are full of miners, and the very best reports come from all quarters. The most prominent and, to all appearances, valuable developments just now, are those on the Ostrich vein.
 The Ostrich has been opened up at differ ent places for a distance along it of about 5000 feet, showing a vein of from six to twelve feet ot ore that assays from forty to hundreds of dollars per ton in gold and up to SIO0 in silver. This vein is about eighty miles west of south from Tucson. It's course is nearly southeast and northwest. Of the 6,000 feet more or less opened, on the northern 1900 there is one shaft 5x6 and twenty feet deep; next south is the Yellow Jacket owned by Tom Roddick, Dr. Handy and some one else, and has considerable development on the ledge above ground and about a 30-foot shaft below the general surface, and very recently MT. w. Buck of Camp Grant offered Tom Roddick S6,000 for his interest; next south is the Empire recently sold to MT Buck for Sl7OO, on which there are several small shafts and prospect holes the next south is the now famous Ostrich, on which D. c. Thompson has been at work for sotne months, and lately has been running eight to nine ar- rastrars, and it is quite well developed at several places to depths from few feet to forty odd. l.. w. Carr and J. W. Hopkins recently bought one-half (750 feeD of it and are now busy putting a l0-stamp mill in order and will have it erected near the mine very soon. The principal parts of the machinery are now in the shop Jard of c. T. EtcheIl, undergoing the necessary
