The Shoe and Leather Reporter says that
though the great obstacle to specie payments
is confessedly the superabundant greenback,
yet every proposition to fund It meets with
great deal of practical hostility. ,''The Wes-
tern folks, in particular, laud the Treasury
note as the best currency in the world, and
resist the substitution of any other with great
pertinacity. The National Banks deprecate
the retirement of the greenbacks, because
their issues are redeemable Herewith. These
two forces eXerting themselves in the same
direction, though not in concert, will pretty
certainly make any funding scheme impossi-
BILE for a considerable time to come" 1t
goes on to say: "Three things are growing
more apparent to us every day, viz: 1st.
That there cannot be any genuine and per-
manent restoration Of national thrift until we
get upon specie basis. I'd. That we have
already reached point in the process of gem
eral liquidation which renders a vigorous
effort in that direction opportune and hope
ful of success; and Sd. That the sooner we
begin the march toward that goal of safety
the better. Irresolution is wasting our
strength and consuming our substance.
Courage to encounter and energy to sur
mount the difficulties that lie before us are
the supreme needs of the hour. To retreat
is impossible, to stand still Is destructive. To
press forward is the only alternative left u.s."

CONGRESS THEN AND Now.-I entered

portunity for seeing both before and be-

diligence, and nothing is more certain

as far as know, in every committee

public men, and vice and debauchery
were the topics Of loud and unclean jests.
Venal lobbying was too palpable and
prevalent to be overlooked on all sides
lax practices prevailed which now would
be scarcely credited. All this is chang

Fisher for kite in good repair and

bought in for dead rat and a string to

poverty.stricken boy ln the morning,
Tom was literally rolling in wealth. He

and wise philosopher, like the writer of
this book, he would now have compre-
