President Tyler was married for
the second time in 1874, Just before
the expiration Of his presidential
term. He was at that time In bic
55th year, and Ills bride about 20.
His friends tried to dissuade him
from the match, and one Of them
told him . story Of o rich old James
river planter, who called his body
servant Toncy into council on the
expediency Of his marrying q miss
in her teens. Toncy shook his
head, saying: "Alassa had you bet
ter" eyes, Toncy." replied the
infatuated planter; "why not.
She is 80 beautiful that tho sight
Of her would make one rise from
: sick bed TO marry her. l am old,
| to be sure, but not too old to make
her happy" "Yes, Massa," dip
lomatically remarked Toney, "you
Il now in your prime, dat's true
but when she Is in hcr prime, whal
den will your prime boz" Mr.
Tyler Il said to have laughed .
Toney's philosophy, but he never
theless married Miss Gardner, ant
the marriage proved q very happ!

The Old Railroad Bonds,

AS settlement of the matter of
these old bonds is imperatively de-
handed, to clear the reputation of
the State from unjust imputations,
it seems to US that no one ought to
object to submitting the question to,
say, five commissioners. Those Of
us who resided in the State at the
time this debt was incurred, think
we know the circumstances attend
ing its contraction, and if our men,
cries can be depended upon, we are
so well satisfied that the bonds are
not a just claim for anything like
their full amount that we need not
fear decision, provided the CON-
missioners are honest and are fur
nished with testimony as to all the
facts. Those who hold a contrary
opinion, unless they want to see the
State wronged for their own or their
friends benefit, ought likewise to be
willing to leave the question to hon.
est arbitrators.
Before any steps are taken, how
ever, by which the State is put to
trouble or expense, the holders of
the bonds ought to be required to
pledge themselves to abide by the
decision of the commissioners, the
State, on its part, giving a similar
pledge. And, while we have entire
confidence in the ability of Govern
or Pillsbury to select proper men
for commissioners, and in his integ-
rity to believe that he would endeav-
or to do 50, as he would be to a
very considerable extent held &C.
countable for their action, we do
not believe it would be treating him
fairly to place this responsibility up
on his shoulders. For this reason
we should urge reversal Of the Or
binary method Of appointments and
have the commissioners selected by
the legislature, subject to the Gov
ernors approval. -
Again, we should object to: any
person serving on said board Of CON-
missioners who is not the owner Of
at least five thousand dollars worth

which shall be money Of itself; which
shall neither be redeemed nor need
redemption; and to manufacture
which there shall be material and
appliances sufficient to- make any
amount which trade may demand.
This proposed money is nothing
startlingly new, nothing wonderfully
extraordinary: tits simply treasu-
~ notes greenbacks. Issued by
the genera. government, made mon
ey, for all purposes fer which money
can be used, by laws of the general
government, and sustained in value
by the authority, power and wealth
Of the government. Is such money
contemplate substitute for the
currency we have now, or for any
that we have ever had? If so, then
the evidence of a debt, which can
not possibly be paid, is better cur
rency than actually money, which
has uniform purchasing power and
which cannot be deprecated.
And why cannot its value be de-
preciated? 1st. Because it is fixed
by law, and it will become the in
terest Of every man, woman and
child IN the country to sustain that
law unalterably. ed. Because, while
its volume will always be ample to
satisfy the demands of trade, an ex-
cessive issue will be prevented by
the circumstance of its convertible
ty into low interest bearing govern
ment bonds; hence, its volume can
not become cause Of its deprecia-
ton. sd. Because, as it will be the
money of the country, no motive can
exist for seeking to convert it into
specie, or any other inadequate me-
dunn of exchange. Remember it
will be money and not mere evil
dence of debt for which money may
be demanded, and it will not be
likely to be boarded, for the reason
of its convertibility into bonds.
There remains still two other OBJ
jections to be answered, which are
how will this system effect our traffic
with foreign countries? And, how
can we get along without banks?
AS this article is sufficiently lengthy
we will leave these for another &C.
casion, merely remarking that they
are easily disposed of when critical
ly examined.
The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1876-01-26

Of taxable real estate located in the
State; or to any person who lived
IN the State prior. to 1862 or who
has become citizen since 1870; or
to any person who is directly or in
directly interested in said bonds or
who is related to or connected
with any one who is so directly or
indirectly interested. Our reasons
for urging these objections are as
follows: >.~... .@~. -
First, the interests Of the State,
which is the only consideration we
ought to have in view, are safest in
the hands of its own citizens; and
while the large freeholders may not
be more honest and patriotic than
those citizens who do not hold prop
erty, there is more assurance that
their citizenship will be permanent
and their interests more thoroughly
identified with those of the State.
Second, Those who lived here pri-
or to 1862 are apt to be either
strongly prejudiced against these
bonds, or else their sympathies are
enlisted in their favor, and in either
case they are not suitable persons
to decide upon the matter. And
those whose residence in the State
is of but recent date, may still be un-
conciously controlled by influences
which surrounded them previous to
their removal hither.
Our reason for objecting to the
third class of persons mentioned are
too obvious to need explanation.
We hope that the present legislature
will take the necessary steps for the
complete adjustment of this matter
and that the time is not far distant
when we shall have heard the last
Of the old railroad bonds, except as
a historical Renaissance.
The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1876-01-26

We have looked in vain for
some action on the part of our leg
islature towards a restoration of the
railroad law of 1874. Will anything
be done in that direction, or will the
present law be allowed to remain
on our statute books, as an evidence
of the truculency of our public men
to wealthy corporations? Remem-
Der that the decision of the Supreme
Court Of the United States upon the
railroad cases before it will soon be
made, and this apparent acquies-
cence Of the people of the North
west in the demands of the compa-
MES cannot but have its influence
on that tribunal. Let it be under
stood distinctly, then, that the peo-
pie have not receded a single step
from the position they assumed four
years ago, but that political trick
sters, acting in behalf of the corno-
rations, have contrived to make them
appear in false position. They
still contend that the management
of the roads must be subject to leg
islative control.

We have just received copy of the
address Of the National convention Of
independents recently held in Chicago.
1t is very able document and contains
nothing but what every well wisher of
his country can endorse fully. We
would give it to our readers at once, if
it were not that the type is already so
nearly set for our paper that we have
not room for it. To be sure the address
squints strongly at the formation Of a
third political party in the approaching
political contest, but it does not follow
that every one who believes in the princi-
pies it enunciates needs likewise concede
that the formation Of such party at this
time is expedient. Indeed, the address
itself gives reasons why it does not now
seem polite to place a third ticket in
the field.
The Wisconsin Independents held
meeting at Madison, on the 10th inst,
at which a resolution was adopted for
the formation of State committee.
with power to call a State convention
for the purpose Of sending delegates to
the Indianapolis reform convention.
We are glad to see our Wisconsin friends
did not commit themselves to the third
party movement, but left that an open
question to be determined hereafter.
The meeting also adopted series of
resolutions strongly favoring financial
reform and economy and retrenchment
in the administration of public affairs,
and VIM. Orledge was deputized to
superintend the organization Of green
back clubs throughout the State. -.
