destroyed the flowers and shrnbbery
in the yard. We never have been able
to seesauy fun in this naughty practice
Of removing gates. thereby causing a
destruction ofprivate property. After
ladies have toiled to cultivate a col

fun to them to see them swept away in
one night by such depredations. Such
mesnness should be stopped.

'Tts sweet, indeed, when we nave found

Ere sorrows sting had reached our mind,

A faithful friend can find
A friend adectonate and true,

To tear it from Its side.

Free Trade.

Ilr. Amasa walker has written a
letter on tho finances, In which he says
the Americans use dollar of less val
ue than that of any other civilized
nation of the globe, and adds; "This
is one of the chief causes of the exist
ing business depression, and we shall
not recover from it fully until our own
currency is restored to par with gold.
We cannot export our cotton manufsc-
lures as before the war, and why? Be-
cause our redundant and deprecated
paper circulation makes our dollar of
less value than the dollar of any other
country, and thus enhances the cost OF
our fabrics by raising home prices. The
people of the United States suffer great
loss upon everything that they send
abroad, whether of agricultural or man
Ifacturing production, and no time
should be lost in calling upon Con
gressto auth orize The funding Of green
backs until at par with specie, whether
by direct conversion into bonds or in
directly into compound interest notes,
convertible, after given time, into
such bonds, The latter is best, because
the most easy and natual, but either
will accomplish the object" There Is
NO doubt much truth in what Mr.. Wal
ker here says, ana it certainly would
be much better and more convenient
in trade if money, the dollar, was OF
the same value with all countries and
nations having trade intercourse, And
yet we sometimes think there is much
mole stress put upon this question OF
inequalities in currencies than it in
any Just relation to trade merits. The
wealth of country Is, mainly, its in
dustries. Whatever tends to develop
these leads to wealth, and if not check
ed by countervailling taxes, which
narrow or divert free traffic, the pro
ducts of those industries will be sure
to bring la return the largest values.
whatever the value of the dollar used
may be In making the exchange. M.
Walker is no doubt correct in the de
claration that our redundant and dc
preciated paper circulation makes il
cheap, SO cheap that fifteen to twenty
cents In excess of Its nominal par Of Il
dollar has to be added TO make 1t really
worth 100 cents. AS it takes more OF
this cheap paper money to make dol
accordingly more of it to pay for every
OlueT eACilhtlBcdDke COu1LuOulbJ ldDOI
included, and this makes it cost nomi
nally more to produce the things we
offer In the markets of the world than
1t does others who use more appre-
ciated currency, and consequently
produce under hominally lower wages,
But not really lower, for their dollar
of 100 cents gold il worth all that Our
115 or 100 cents paper is. There is, as
we have said, losses and inconvenien-
ces in using deprecated currency,
but with the privilege of exchanging
our surplus products when and where
and for whatever of others surplus
products we may find it disadvantage
GUS to barter, free from the restrictions
of undue taxation, the currency be-
comes comparatively harmless thing
The dollar is certainly better to be
just what 1t purports to be, with the
least fluctuation possible, but if there
are insuperable difficulties in the way
of that desirable result, let the product
of labor have an unrestricted market.

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BETWEEN IN
DI TMENTs AND OGNGZANCEs-ARUU MtNr
BEFORE JUDGE D0SOHUE.
William NJ, Tweed was called in the Court Of Oyer
and Ter1niner yesterday to answer to indictments
the purpose being to have seven recognizances de-
cIared to be forfeited, five of them given by Charles
Devln AID two by Alfred Is. Sands Mir. Devlih's
liability being $1i. 600 and that of Mr. Sands being
$1,000. Assistant DIsirict-Att0rney Lyon appeared
for the People and moved the ordinary calling of Mr.
Tweed Oh tho indictments and the forfeiture of his
bail.
David Dudley Field requested that all be done in
order. lie held in his hand 4 notice TO MIR. Devin
TO produce Mr.. Tweed for trial on an indie
lie would like to know which indictment, as
there were more than one.
Mr. Lyon answered that notice to n bondsman was
nicely matter Of courtesy, and insisted that Mr.
Tweed b. called.
Mr. Feld-"Oh! as to calling Mr.. Tweed have
TO objection Do so. | done represent him IN any
way on this proceeding, but have been requested
to represent his bail here and to the forfeiture Of
their rrcogzances shall have to ask the Court To
hear me-"
Mr. Tweed was called and of course did not
answer, and thereupon tho indictments and recog-
nizanccs were cassed together by numbers, and to
each number Mi. flelu All liSWcI tHo Iibl HVe
recoguizaDces being by Mr.. Deylin aud all being
dated June %, 1878. The first indictment
found IN the Court of Oyer and Terniner for con-
spiracy on June Ii, 1879, aud tho indictment was
described in the ccoglzance rs being found III the
General Sessions. 10 il and the five additional
recognizances describing the indictment ds found IN
the General Sessions tho following answer was in
terpOsed
TD.r, is no such Indictment IA that described In the
rcropnlz.ince, and mono such has been found
IN tue Court General Sessions OF the Peace held in aud
for Tie Cy and county oi Newl o;k, as Ills depoheh
alleged bail sale, Is Informed and believes
Mr. Field pointed out that an Indictment in the
General Sessions was or might be entirely differ
ent thing from an indictment in the Court Of Oyer
and Terminer. The second rccognNance was for an
Indictment for felony found in the General Ses
sions. Feb 20 1873. The real indictment was found
in the Oyer aud Terniner Of that date. But in this
case there was a special answer, that the facts IN
yoyed in this Indictment some part OF them, had
been tried in the trial in which Tweed was con-
indictment and such recognizance must have been
a mere oversight of the District-Attomey. He
would never attempt to retry q man for an ofense
Of which he was convicted in November, 1873.
The third reconzance was indictment for
forgery In the third degree found in 1873 There
were SIX such indictments. To which. Mr.. Field
asked did this applyf There was the same con-
fusion In courts but the additional answer WA that
this was void for uncertainty - to the indictment

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13--The Democratic members
Of the House met in caucus at o'clock this after
noon in the hall Of the House of Representatives,
Mr. Lamar of Mississippi in the chair, aud Messrs.
Banning of Ohio and Robbins Of North Carolina act
ing a. secretaries. Mr. Waddell Of North Carolina
offered resolution for tho appointment by tho
Chairman Of n Democratic executive committee, to
consist of three Senator's six Representatives. and
three citizens of the District of Columbia and Mr..
Cox of New-YOrk offered resolution providing for
the appointment by the Chairman % committee
of eleven members 10 suggest to the eau
at a future meeting such line Of policy action
on public measures az would best serve the interests
Of the country These resolutions were, after DO
bate, severally agreed to.
During the incidental discussion there was har-
mony of views with regard to the duty of the ma
orlty of the House All agreed that they should, as
far rs possible, effect reduction Of taxation and
that the Government should be honestly aud eco
nomically administered. 1t was stated that much
responsibility devovcs the majority OF the House,
although the Senate is not practically in accord With
them. The country desires the stoppage Of corrup-
ton and wastefu expenditures, and the Democracy,
it was said, cannot expect the people 10 stand by
them unless they stood by the people.
No business apart from that above mentioned was
considered, and the caucus, after remaining in ses-
sion AN hour and half. adjourned.
