MENUNTu.-Th- date 81 il.Is ..-ls
the lith Of April. the llth an
niversary of the death of one ~ the
noblest men born To this nation
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. In the dawn
ing hour Of peace, amid the exu!ta-
tions Of the Union, and Just as the
ship which had been rocking in the
waves and trembling before the
storm Of disunion, was entering the
harbor of peace, a pirate who
had secreted himself among the pas
sengers committed the deed. Never
before had a murder SO foul shocked
the nation or astounded the world.
For
"He had borne his faculties so meekly,
had been
So clear in his great office, that his vir-
Do plead like angels, trumpet-tongued,
against
The deep damnation of his taking off,"
We shall attempt no eulogy, nor
seek to comprehend the mystery
which permitted his removal at such
an hour and in such way. But it
is fitting that we should revert to the
event, and unite with the loyal null
titude in observing the day and pay
ing a mournful tribue Of respect to
his memory. The circumstances sur,
rounding his assassination are yet
fresh in the minds Of ourreaders, and
our space precludes the insertion of
details. He fell, but not for himself.
The assassin had no hate for him
the heart Of the nation was aimed at;
its national life was sought. Chief
tain, Hero and Martyr! we revere
thy record. flushed is thy voice,
but its echoes of liberty are still
ringing through the world, and the
sons Of bondage listen with Joy. We
crown thee as a Nations martyr,
and Humanity enthrones thee as her
triumphant son and benefactor.

THE Indians of the Canadian Do
minion exhibit a greater degree Of
thrift and industry than our tribes Of
the Northwest, and the Government
has not near so much trouble with
them as we have with the Sioux and
other of the refractory redskins. A
report from the Minister of the Inte-
tior, Just published, states the num-
Der of the Indians in the Dominion
to be 81 $40. The value of their
personal property in the five Pro-
Finces is set down at $4S9, ,234, and
of the real estate at $7,G33,708. OF
the population in the older Provinces
7,197 are children, and of these 2, 2,105
are attending school. The proximity
Of some of the Indian lands to popu-
lous towns and villages has greatly
enhanced their value, and the exam
pie of civilization to the tribes has
been availed of greatly to improve
their condition.

THE CURRENcY.-Last week we
referred briefly to the treatment by
our own and the French governments
of the currency of the respective
countries and elucidated the conse-
uuences. 1t is unnecessary further
to state how our policy has differed
from that of the French. That it has
been in fact almost the reverse has
been abundantly shown. No pro.
vision has been usds by our Govern
Iaent for funding the legal tender
notes. in mt s. li sesti. l,'l'..e yoi,os,
which would have produced the two
fold effect of contracting the vol
ume and supplying the element of
confidence; the Government itself
has discredited them by refusing to
take them on an equality with spe-
Gle; and no preparation has been
made for their redemption. II these
three errors we're corrected in one
comprehensive measure, we believe
that the dishonored greenbaek would
speedily become the equivalent of
gold goin in all the transactions of
business, and that, too, without any
serious disturbance of any kind. The
present premium on gold, which
fluctuates from day to day, is in a
measure artificial, produced by the
varying wants of the community for
the payment Of customs, and the
scanty supply, dependent as it is on
the movements Of coin in its present
restricted channels. Let the policy
which makes it mere matter of
merchandise be abandoned, and let
it and geenbacks both be treated as
money, the latter by virtue of being
convertible with the former, and
they would stand on level at once.
When they do that it is a matter of
little consequence which is made re-
ceivable for any specific purpose.
For ordinary purposes the notes are
much more convenient than coin, and
the latter would be paid to the gov
ernment in preference if there was
no difference in value.
One bugbear which most people
meet with in considering this subject,
particularly in the Eastern States,
is the difficulty Of obtaining gold.
There is just as much gold in the
world as there ever was, and any
country with credit and resources
can get all it needs of it. The fact
that gold now aows out of the coun.
try almost as fast as it gets from the
mines into the market, does not sig
nifty. 1t will always do so if we dc
not use it, just as any other commod-
ity viii which we do not use, and
which is in demand elsewhere. The
government can get gold just to the
extent that it will use it. If it is
necessary to issue bonds and pay
interest to get it, are not the legal
tenders a debt, and is it any more
than honorable TO pay interest on
what we owe? Suppose then the
government were to fund legal ten
der notes in interest-bearing bonds,
and At the same time redeem them
in gold, restricting the amount to be
offered at any one time, and also at
the same time receive them for all
dues to itself, the effect would be
