introduced bill, providing that after the
fret day of January, 1877, nothing but
gold and silver coin should be legal ten
der, and repeating the resumption act of
1876. This is all there was of it, and while
1t looks like the hardest kind of hard
money doctrine, its object, undoubtedly,
was to prevent return to specie payments
And this, for these reasons. 1t must be
evident to everyone that some preparation
for resumption is necessary before actual
resumption takes place. This has been the
burden of the cry of hard money demo-
Gratis and they have used it rs an argu-
ment against the act of 1875 that sufficient
provision was not made for the accumula-
ton Of specie III anticipation Of resumption.
That act authorizes the secretary of the
treasury to accumulate silver coin for re-
deemiug the fractional currency, and pro-
vides the way limits the amount of legal
tenders and authorizes the sale of bonds
to provide means for the redemption OF
legal tenders. The secretary of the treas
ury says that specie payments can be re-
sumed under the m, ans provided in this
act, January |, 1S19-the day fxed-the
democracy say it can't Yet we have a
prolessedly bard money measure coming
from democrat providing for IA return to
specie payments in eleven months, without
placing limit on the issue Of legal tenders
or providing the means for their redemp-
tion.
The measure is not a hard money one,
| save in name. Its umnifest intention is to
deceive the country 10y a pretense. 1t is a
| fair sample of the position of the demo-
cratic party on the currency question, and
| is worthy of being made a platform for
| Governor Hendricks TO stand upon. We
are not surprised at these democratic make
shifts. As the New York Tunes said, in
regard to another measure, sit would he

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.

On Monday, the national house of repre-
sentatives, by vote Of one hundred and
twelve to one hundred and fifty-eight, re-
fused to suspend the rules so as to pass a
resolution declaring that it was inexpedient
to fix Especial and arbitrary date for the
resumption of specie payments, and, there
fore, ins;ructing the committee on bank
ing and currency to prepare, and report. as
soon rs possible, a bill repeating the re-
sumption act OF January IA, 1875. If this
is Il true indication of the sentiment of the
house, it il evident that no legislation,
looking to the repeal of the resumption ac.
can pass unless, at the same time, some
thing better, or something that appears
plausible, is proposed. We may take it
tor granted, that one hundred and twelve
members will be found always ready to
favor Initiation and oppose resumption, ard
On this point the position Of the parties is
somewhat significant One hundred and
four democrats favor imitation, fifty-fiye
democrats oppose it, SO that nearly two
thirds Of the representatives Of that party
ayow themselves innationlsts. Ninety
eev1a republicans oppose imitation, and only
six favor It, so that the republicans, as
represented in congress, are nearly unani-
nous n i~Jor of resumption.
However certain it may be that the one
hundred and twelve votes will always be
found In favor of rag money, it is, by no
means, as certain that the one hundred and
hity'elght votes are sure, every time, for
hard money. For example, Mr.. Hurd.

places, as it seems TO us, this whole amneg-

power, he staked everything on the hazard
of rebellion, and lost yet he is not on

the United States, victorious at every
point, to single him out, the one solitary
exception Of eight million people whom
he served, would make him one of the
martyrs of history, ana would commend
him to the sympathy of mankind" The

the republicans are concerned, the action

A LONG LEASE OF LIFE.-About one
year ago negro man III st. Louis killed
his wife in most brutal manner, and
threw her body into the river: The mur'
derer was arrested in Kansas, and
brought back for trial. He made a writ.
ten confession OF the murder; but the
body could not be found. This made the
case anomalous, for the want OF positive
proof Of death. The man was never
theless convicted on his confession, and
sentenced to be hung. But the sentence
was reversed by the higher court for er-
rors ON the trial, and the case was re.
manded for new trial. Rather than
face new trial and the prospect oi
being hung, the negro pleaded guilty to
manslaughter, and was sentenced to the
Penitentiary for ninety-s,tae years. So he
has long lease of life by virtue Of a
judicial decree.
