The BLOODY SHIRT.--As the Repub-
ltcGa, has openly declared that it did not |
or could not support the Presidents |
Southern policy, and evidently prefers the |
defunct bloody>shirt policy, we give our
readers the following opinions of the N.
Y. Herald, of to-day
1.-THE question before the Senate yeste rday
was Mr. Saulsburys motion of Wednesday
to refer the case of Kellogg and SpoGord
back to the Committee on Elections for
further investigation. 1t Is not easy to dis
cover what relation the Ham burg massacre
has to this question. That massacre took
place in South Carolina. and the busine ess
before the Senate related to the admission
of a Senator from Louisiana, Neither kel-
logg nor Spofford ever had any connection
with the Hamb burg massacre. With what
relevance could it be brought up in a dis
eussion relating to Kellogg's title 10 q seat
in the Senate? And yet from the time
that Mr.. Conkling introduced it the Ham
burg massacre was the staple of debate
during the rest of the day. Tne bloody
shirt must be regarded as exercising
mighty influence over republicans when it
Is brought from so far and introduced with
out any pertinence. When displayed as
flag it is as much an emblem of hostility
to President Hayes as 1t is to the Demo.
cratic party. 1t is banner under which
Mr.. Hayes neither fights nor marches In
his estimation it is as obsolete and imper-
tinent as the tattered stars and bars of the
detunct rebel Confederacy. Senator La
mar and General Gordon and Alexander
II, Stephens have not more distinctly re-
pudiated the rebel flag than Mr.. Hayes and
his Cabinet have the bloody shirt. But the
faded bloody shirt is defiantly waved in
the Senate chamber as If in scorn of the
Presidents Southern policy. This beto-
kens something very different from peace
between the Republican Senators and the
President.
We presume there is not Senator who
honestly believes that Mr.. Butler abetted
the Hamburg massacre. The negro testi
mony to that effect has long been an ex
posed and exploded perjury. Senator Pat
terson, who is perfectly acquainted witt
South Carolina affairs has borne uniform
and emphatic testimony to Mr.. Butler.
innocence. He interrupted Senators yes
terday to reiterate his statements on tha
point. But the other republican SENATOR
are too glad to find or make an opportuuit,
to poison the public mind of their part,
anew with that old virus especially as the,
can thereby fiout and affront the Presiden
and contempt for his policy. The Unioi
sentiment of the country would not h
more wantonly insulted by displaying tn
old rebel flag from the cupolas of tn
Southern State capitals than Presiden

THE SILVER DOLLAR which is so much
objected to by the brokers and their
newspaper organs is of the same weight
and fineness which the silver dollar had
before the war and it was in that
weight and fineness the U. S. bonds and
greenbacks were promised to be paid, II
paid in metallic currency; but in fact the
bonds, when issued and sold, were prom
ised to be paid in the currency OF the
country, and under that promise they
were sold; and the attempt now to make
the currency finer and the weight heavier
than was promised is simply an attempt
to extort usury from the people. 1t is
really astonishing to us how any man
can claim to be a friend OF the people
who labors to increase the burden of the
national debt as the advocates Of the
single gold standard must do. We have
heard enough about the honor that is due
10 creditors, and the want of honor in re-
fusing to pay usurious interest and de-
mands. There was a lack of honor in
demanding of the people more than they
bargaine1 for and if gold gamblers, and
those who risked their money in the
promises of faithless agents of the peo-
pie, had not loaned at risk, the people
would have had less of debt. Too much
credit too frequently leads to extrava
CANT outlays, that are bad only in theii
influence, and doubly bad unless used a:
warnings for the future and in this way
what is called adjustment in Virgini;
and reputation by some others, may b.
beneficial, in so far as they are warning
to people not to loan their money TO
works that will not pay. The New Yorl
Herald now argues that adjustment"
"repudiation ;" it says that to insist apo
aging the debt with silver dollar {
AZ grains is reputation, notwithstant
ing this was the legal-tender dollar bt
fore the war. The same paper, in 1856
urged the people and the banks Of Ne
York not to loan the Lincoln Cabin
money and thus prevent their plungiI
the country into war. This lead to tt
printing and issuing of greenbacks by Il
government, followed by the printing al
issuing of bonds payable in greenbacl
which were bought by brokers and ban
ers as low as a cents on the dollar in s
yer or gold. -Four years ago faithle
Congress, in the interest of the bondhol
ars was induced to demonetize silver a
thus make their bonds payable only
gold. Now, Congress, in behalf of t
people who elected most of the membe
with this in view, proposes to remoneti
silver and make the dollar legal tent
again. AS one Congress cannot bind
people to pay unjust debts, we can S
nothing dishonorable in what is propos
1t is simply preventing the people fr

What She asked Tommy.

He was named Thomas and she
was named Jane. They sat on the
hotel balcony yesterday for three
long hours, and giving themselves
dead away as being out-of-towners.
AS they sat down, Thomas took
one of James hands. She allowed
that sort of thing to go on without
a word of protest, and the naxen
haired youth seized the other one.
They talked and talked, and looked
down upon the street and sighed,
aud the hours slipped away. At
the end of the third hour she said
"Tommy, dearest, want to ask
you something"
"Asll me hundred--a thousand
"A million things !" he exclaimed
in reply.
"Well Tommy, I've got an awful
cold in my head," she continued,
"and il | draw one of hands away
and wiped my nose would you
think | was madl I've either got
to do that, Tommy, or let my nose
wipe its self. Just one wipe,
Tommy, and then YOU can have il
back"
Tommy released her hand,
though he hated to, and her nose
was softly and duly wiped.

Canar6.

So few ordinary readers under
stand and feel the full force of the
word "cauard," in such common use
in modern newspapers, that we give
not only Wehsters definition bnt
the history of its transferoncc from
the French to the English language,
Canarl in French is the exact
r - 1t l.,..is in Enqli-h
In the latter lauguagc 1t loses,
entirely its original meaning, and
is used as the equivalent of ian
cxtrava CANT and ridiculous fabrica-
ton"
The history of this transference
of the original meaning and use Of
the word to its present ordinary
English application is thus mar
rated:
A French writer in ridicule OF
the extravagant stories of the day,
set ailoat an absurd story in regard
to the extraordinary voracity OF
ducks, alleging that twenty having
been placed together, one OF them
wa, killed and cut mp into small
pieces, feathers and all, and thrown
TO the other nineteen, who immedl-
ately swallowed it, The story was
repeated with the same result,
until at length but one remained,
this one having bevoured the other
nineteen in a very brief time.
The story was circulated in nearly
all the journals of Europe, and
after having been forgotten for
several years, was revived, with
some additions, in America.
Hence, fabrications of this kind
have since been designated cdadrd.
