The silver state., 1876-09-05
HOW IT WAS DONE.

In 1873 the silver dollar, which up
TO that time had been legal tender
for interest on the national debt, was
dsmonstizsd by Republican Congress.
The Act was in the interest of the
bondholders, who by its passaee were
to receive gold only for interest on
their untaxed bonds. II was passed
secretly by the friends of the capital.
lists. who, being in ap overwhelming
majority in both Houses. wsuld not
even permit it to be read so that the
honest Republicans and Democrats
could understand its purport. A sor-
rsspondsnt of the Cincinnati Times.
attributes the responsibility of its pas
sage to four gentlemen, namely: Sher-
man of the Senate, Hooper of the
House, Lindsrmanf Director Of the
Mint, and Richardson Secretary of
the Treasury. Hooper introduced the
bill to effect the change, and exhausted
his tactics in endsavors to get it
through without being read or dsba-
ted. Potter of New York asked some
vsxed question regarding it, aud its
further consideration was postponed
for the time. Some two months later
Hooper chose his opportunity to in
troduce substitute, and moved to
suspend the rules. SO that it could be
put on its passage without being read.
Kerr raised the question that the rules
could not be suspended 50 as to dis
penss with the reading of the bill.
Speaker Blaine ruled that the
rules could be 20 suspended
and in the debate which ensued
the rulings were invariably in favor of
Hooper. The majority being. it is sup-
posed, in the ring to demonstize silver,
actually passed tho bill without read
ing, and concealed the important
changes it made in the position of sill
yer. The Times says. let the reader
note and remember these facts, "That
tho bill is pushed through the House
without ever having been read, while
there are but 1913 members in the
House, assisted by the eager and gross.
iy irregular connivancs CT tAe::Speaker."
In the Senate, Sherman, of the Com
nnittee on Finance. took charge of the
bill. and objected to having it read or
printed. and. ~ ex-senator Stewart
has stated it. the silver dollar
was dsmonetized by trick
in the intersst of the Money
KiDgs. To say that party that is guilty

dspss or support Of the people is to ad.
mit that tbsrs is no necessity of reform.

OF the Ophir the Enterprise says:
Daily yield of ore. 800 tons, keeping the
four mills in constant operation. All the
slopes nre yielding well and show no
change. The different prospecting drifts
throughout the mine are being pushed
steadily ahead. The north drift on the
l600foot level is still in east country
rock and is within about 40 feet OF the
south line of the Mexican. On reaching
the line between the two mines q cross
cut will be run. thus prospecting both
mines at that point. Good Roadway is
being made in clearing out and repairing
the drifts on the 1800.foot level. The
yield of the mine for June was little
over $3.50, 900.
The Caribou silver mine, one Of the
most prominent and productive mines in
Colorado, has been attached for debt.

a peculiar formation, which presents al
most certain Indications that it was once

of the cut and is about Atty feet in
length. Alexander Wander Moot brought
to town specimens Of the bony part OF
the defunct creature. They are soft and
porous, and there can be little doubt that
they are portion Of the body Of q men,
Der of the finny tribe. At the same time
were found petrified shells Of different
kinds and substance two inches long
and about one inch in diameter at the
base, which had evidently been the tooth
OF some animal. A bone four feet long
and about eight iuches in diane sharp
at both ends, was also found. Boulders
nearly round and weighing from 100 to
600 pounds, are numerous in the cut.
This matter presents subject which is
worthy of the consideration Of scientists.

A CURRENT newspaper paragraph
reports that "Mr Chapman, of the
Valley Railroad, has set his engineer
corps at work surveying routes for
several branch roads to the coal
fields of Vinton and jackson coun-
ties" If Mr.. Chapman will Just
"hold his horses" till his main line
reaches Portsmouth, we can snow
him where he can reach more exten-
sive deposits Of coal, OF better
quality, and at less expense for ROAD
building than it will require to reach
the Vinton or jackson coal neios.-
Portsmouth Tribune.
Mr.. CHAPMAN, or any other man,
by a road from Circleviile to Vinton
county, understands he can put coal
into Columbus by a shorter route
than even is afforded by the Hooking
Valley Railroad. And notwithstand-
ing the boast of the Tribune, the
coal on this route is the best in
Southeastern Ohio, besides being in
exhaustible. How silly, therefore,
to talk about going one hundred
miles to Portsmouth, and then no
one knows how many more miles
over or through the hills of Scioto
county, for coal. Mr.. CHAPMAN is
not such a ninny as that. The Val
ley road will answer for corn and
potatoes, but for coal and iron ore
the Circleville and Columbus people
are compelled to turn their eyes in
another direction.
