THE PROPOSED STAY LAW.

The bill providing for a stay Of execution,
grants a stay for two years on Judgments now
remaining unsatisfed, or which may be OBJ
tained within six months from the passage
of the act provided, that he is the owner of
property to double the amount of the claims
held against him or, the defendent may
give security to the Court or Justice of the
Peace before whom the Judgment was obtain
ed, which security shall consist of one or
more persons, who shall satisfy the Court or
Justice that their property, at a fair valua-
ton, is worth double the claim.
We think the passage of such bill would
be unwise. The law now gives ample stay
for all classes of debts. Its effect would only
give temporary relief to n few of the debtor
class, and at the same time would drive cap
ital from investment. Besides, there is
nothing to prevent man from waving the
stay if he desires, and his necessities would
compel him to do that. The mass of the
people desire to pay their debts in the man
ner and at the time contracted for. If, how
ever mans debtor dsappoints him of a
promised payment when due, by taking
two years stay, he in turn is unable to meet
his demands, and the result would be gen.
eral confusion and distress. Capital wouli
be withdrawn, and credit would close.
We are of the opinion that the ordinary
laws oftrade should regulate financial mat
ters, and that unwise legislation has led to
present evils, and bill like that proposed
would cause further complication without
benefiting the people.
Since writing the above the bill has been
defeated in the House.

Mr.. Boutwell,, Senator from Massachu-
sets, came to grief one day last week in the
Senate chamber. He had been making a
bloody and thunder Grafton, charging in
the usual Radical style that the Southern
people were still rebels at heart and enemies
of their country. Whereupon Senator Bay
ard of Delaware arose, and remarked with
unmistakeable distinctness, that "if any
person says that either or any of my an
cestry, on the maternal or paternal side were
ever enemies of their country, he lies in his
throat" Mr.. Boutwell, did the best thing
he could under the circumstances his
seat. The Philadelphia Times alludes cheer
fully to the little episode as "a pitiable
spectacle and calls the insult and rebuke
"the partisan hate and bitterness of two of
the most noted men in the Chamber" Now
we believe that,
"No man high-toneder could be found
Than A. Mcclure the country round"
and that if he had been in Mr.. Bayard's
place, Boutwell, would have received re-
buke equally stinging and as fully conclu-
siye

There is reasonable ground for the hope
that the experiment Of substituting silver
coin for the fractional currency will soon be
tried. The appropriation for printing this
money has run out and the committee have
concluded not to renew it with view to
the issuing of coin for the worn out cur
rency as fast as it is brought in. About $l2,
000, 900 in silver coin and $4,000,000 in bull
lion are on hand. The mint can coin 50,
000, 900 month and the secretary has au-
bullion for four and half per cent. bonds.
If the mint work full time the secretary of
the treasurylcan have $4,000, 600 of silver
coin on hand by the first of July. 1t would
be good thing to begin by giving the stran-
gers who visit the centennial next summer
silver coins instead of the shabby fractional
currency. 1t is calculated that so long as
gold remains below 120 the silver coin will
remain in circulation. As it is not at all
probable that so wide margin between gold
and greenbacks will take place there can be
no danger in beginning the resumption.
Cleanliness, economy, and every other con-
sideration are in favor of the change. The
small notes hardly run year until they
must be renewed, and the annual cost Of
this petty work alone amounts to nearly a
million and a half year. 1t is estimated by
the directors of the mint that the treasury
will save almost one hundred thousand dol
lars year by substituting silver for these
fractional notes. The people at the same
time will have clean, safe and durable
currency in their daily transactions.-Patri-
OF.

CONNECTICUT ALL RIGHT |

The glorious old Nutmeg" State has spo.
ken, and the result is a terrible defeat to
the Republican party. The purchase o.
New Hampshire had revived the dropping
hopes ofthe opposition, and they were con-
fident of victory last Monday Blaine, jew
ell and Hawley, worked with the despera-
tion of men to whom defeat is final, and
anxious Office holders were freely bled for
Campaign" funds. The "bloody shirt
was waved in every hamlet, the "rebel
yelp' was tearfully alluded to, but the peo-
pie of ''the land of steady habits" with the
shrewdness peculiar to them, saw beyond
their fimsy pretexts the innate rottenness
ofthe Republican party as demonstrated
by Democratic Congress.
Ingersoll, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor is reelected by plurality of 1900
and majority over all of 1000. The Senate
stands Is Democrats to 8 Republicans the
II ouse 159 Democrats, IS Republicans, and
9 Independents, gain of o. The majority
on joint ballot is 81, thus insuring The cleo
tion ofa Democratic U. s. Senator, vice
Ferry, deceased.
After the example in Connecticut it be-
hooves the Democratic party in this State to
''grd up their loins" and prepare for an ac-
tive, aggressive contest in Novem Der. There
must be no faltering now, and those who, in
former years, despaired of success and Jagged
behind, must come to the front. The future
looks bright and let our cry be "ONwARD
TO VICTORY!
