SHERIDAN's UNCONSTITUTIONAL Con-
DUCT.-At the time Of the fire in Chicago.
General Sheridan posted his soldiers about
the city. aud prevented the citizens from
going through the streets This was uncoII-
Sttutional. While one hundred thousand
men, women and children were in the open
air, General Sheridan opened the Govern
ment stores and drew out blankets, cloth
'ng and provisions, and thus saved people
from perishing. This WIS unconstitutional.
On being informed that a Car load of bur-
glars were on their way from New York to
Chicago to engage, while the city was in
flames, in their regular business, General
Sheridan sent out a file of soldiers to Il
ioint some three miles from the city, ar
rested the burglars, o:del ed ont the pas
>engers, held them all night in durrss. and
The next day ordered them back to New
York. This was unconstitutional While
the great fire was raging, men demanded
from s. to SEQ an hour to remove property.
General Sheridan told the merchants to let
the men make their own terms, get their
property out of reach of the fire, and then
send the workingmen to him, when he per-
>uaded them to take reasonable price,
This was unconstitutional. While the
vaults Of the banks were being pillaged by
thieves and bandItti, General Sheridan sur
rounded the vaults with his soldiers. and
refused to allow even the officers of those
banks to approach the vaults; thus lie saved
The deposits. This was unconstitutional.
Where are the men who called the imligna
rion meeting in relation to his command in
New Orleans, January 4. 1875? Why have
they not complained of his conduct at
Chicago, and demanded his arrest? Why
did not the politicians all over the country
rhen rise to a man and denounce the Presi-
dent as we'll as Sheridan?

The WAY TO GET ALONG Twenty

twenty young men in IA village-all want To
yet along i'll the world and expect to do SO.
One of the clerks will become a partner,
and make a fortune; one of the compost
tors will own a newspaper, and become an
influential citizen; one of the apprentices
will become master builder; one Of the
young villagers will get "a handsome farm.
and live like patriarch-bnt which one is
the lucky individual? Lucky? There is
no luck about it. The thing is almost as
certain as the rule of three. The young
fellow who will distance his competitors is
he who masters his business. who preserves
his integrity, who lives clearly and purely.
who devores his leisure to the acquisition
Of knowledge, who gains friends 10y de
serving them and who saves spare money.
There are some ways to fortune shorter

staunch men of the community, the men
who achieve something really worth hav
ing, good fortune. good name, and serene
old age, all go in this hard, dirty road.

Death OF the Oldest Mail Carrier.


Col. Joseph Dodd, of the New York post
nffice, died recently, aged about eighty four
The Col. was born i'll 1880 and was the old
est inhabitant of Jersey City at tie time Of
his death.
He moved there four years before the
city's Incorporation. and was one of its
Selectmen afterward. He served in the
var of 1912 with the New Jersey Fenci-
bles, and entered the New York pnstuf1ice
IN 1916 under Gen. Theodorus Bailey. who
resigned his seat in the United States Sen
ate to accept the Postmastrlship. AT the
lime of Col. Dudd's appointment all the
mails were received aud dispatched in a
small office, twelve by sixteen feet, i'll Gar
den street, now Exchange place. There
were only three clerks, of which Col. Dodd
was one.
Col. Dodd's connection with the post.
office extended over fifty eight years. the
last few years of which his place was made
sinecure, the only one in the departure mt.
Before the era of steam, he was employed
To bring the Washington and Philadelphia
mails across the Hudson river. He re-
ceived the bags from the mail contractor at
Paulus Hook and brought them over in a
>kiff to the city. After they were landed
ue trundled them TO the postoffice in 4
sheelbarrow. In the Winter, when the
river was blocked with ice, the trips We're
.,ften attended with great peril. but Col.
Dudd never failed to cross and did not miss
mail. On one of his passages he was
carried by the ice almost to Sandy Hook,
md was twenty four hours in working his
say back. His assistant was a colored
man named Harry Rogers. On one of the
rips the latter stole a letter containing
800. and was detected in Offering it in
payment for drink. The theft led to the
.nactment of law by Congress that no
rolnred person should be employed in the
postotfice. This legislative ostracisn re-
.naiued law until within very few years,
when Senator Sumner had it repealed
Gen. jones was the first postmaster of
eceut times to hire any cnl"red person.
The only one of Col. Dodd's old asso-
ciates who Is living. is Mr.. Charles Forces
-er, the present Superintendent Of the
Newspaper Department in the postoffice.
He remembers when Col Reside. the
great mail contractor of former days, had
~ bring horse behind his mali coach from
Washington to New Jersey as mail matter.
The animal was forwarded by a member of
Congress under the ranking privilege.
Since Col. Dodd moved he mail of New
York city ON wheelbarr"w, the service
mas increased till at the present time it
requires the daily services of 100 to 1875
hoIses to transport it to and from the de-
pots and landings.

A Washington special of Thursdays
Philadelphia PRESS has the following
in reference to new movement among
the paper money financial men:
"a number of gentlemen in both Houses
have become convinced that the passage of
the Senate finance bill. as it is called, was
a mistake, and that its effect upon the
finances of the country is likely to prove
disastrous. The recent advance in the pre-
MUM on gold IS attributed to this measure,
and there are those who seem to think that
before many months the premium will still
further advance. and that the receipts from
customs will suffer a corresponding decline
Judge Kelley is so thoroughly satisfied that
this will be the result that he proposes to
prepare bill which he will introduce mex,
week, to repeal certain portions of the law
passed few weeks ago. The object of
Mr.. kell-y's bill is to increase the revenues
of the Government. aud to prevent the
advance in the premium on gold. 1t will
provide. among other things. that so much

resumption of specie payments in 1879
and the substitution Of small silver coin
for currency. These are the main features
of the new proposition. though it Is under

The conclusion reached by the gen
tlemen referred to in the despatch in
reference to the the action of the Senate
Finance bill recently passed to law, s
very probably about correct. Gold has
gone up to lis and is likely to continue
rising, but the remedy said to be sug-
gested by Mr. Kelley and his friends.
which is the issue Of more paper money
to reduce the premium on gold, appears
to Us to be the very quintessence Of
folly. Judge Kelley is leading men,
Der of the utopian school of financial
philosophers, who believe that a nation
can establish its business on an entire
paper money basis, which will make
gold no longer necessary article for
use as money; and the proposed repeal
of those portions of the late enact
ment, which limits the issue of green
backs to three hundred and eighty-two
millions, and fixes the time for specie
payments at 1879, as means of reduc-
ing the premium on gold, is mere pre-
tense Small silver coin which is pro-
posed to be substituted for fractional
currency will never float as a medium
of exchange while silver commands a
premium of 10 per cent and upwards,
and if the project is tried under such =
condition of monetary matters, it will
disappear as fast as it is put in circua-
ton, and traders will have to resort
again to postage stamps for change as
in the days before fractional currency
was issued by the Government
There is proverb that all roads lead
to Rome; this is the inverse of the
way to specie payment which has but
one road. The people hold a govern
