Some Of the goidite class ASSERT that tho 0ov-
ernmcnt never contemplated paying it, bouds
In silver. How do they know ttatf Did tho
Government foreknow In 1873 that silTeF would
always be dcarcr than Rotdj The Government
only intended to pay In gold 10 long II that
was the cheaper metal; It fully intended to pay
IN silver the moment gold became deaEcr than
silver. Tho bondholler know thls very well; !;
he knew tue Government had tho option, and
would exercise it whenever IT. lnteFest would
n be promoted thereby. Tho Government has
always exercised tho right to pay In the cheaper
OF tbs two metals, and that optional right must
hc reclaimed.

Pacific railroad which shall be especially
tributary TO Southern interests, but only to
tho proposition that such road shall be
constructed at Government expense. We
hAve frequently pointed To the construction
OF that portion Of tho Southern Pacific Road
which lies within the 6tats Of California, and
now reaches Fort Yuma, or Yuma City, at
the western boundary OF Arixona. This road
has been constructed under the authority OF
the same acts Of Congress a. those which
authorized the construction .of tho
Texas Pacific. Ths leading spirit In
the enterprise Is HUNTINGDON. the rail-
road king Of California, aud there
are associated with him men possessed OF
large capital. extended railroad experience,
and far-reaehIng ambition. Tho prompt
completion Of their portion OF the projected
route without Government aid in money or
bonds led to the impression that they we're
prepared 10 60 ahead with the entire road
On the same independent footing. This was
contradicted just before the assembling OF
Congress, and 1t Vas E1mored that HUNTING

that a combined assault was 10 ba made on

evils come corruption and extravaganza. In
addition, out of civil war comes the inability
OF ravaged cou TRY to receive the manu-
factures OF more successful portion. Tho
longer war is kept up the longer will bo tho

'Tis soen 10 mountains fair md grand,
ln lovely landscapes decked with flowers,
ln dark blue seus and on the land.
There are riches, too. on this fair earth,
Diamonds and gons of purest light,
Rubies and pearls Of rarest worth,
Aud treasures hid from mortal sight.
There's wisdom also in this land,
Gathered from tones of mystic lore;
And works of art aud science that stand
Far in advance of those of yore
But neither one, nor all combined,
Is baf 70 sweet and dear IL thing,
AZ woman's love, when true and kind
The source whence all our pleasures spring
1t lights mans thorny path through life
In hours of darkness and of gloom;
1t fires the heurt for toll and strife
And flowers of joy around him bloom.
This is the treasure that wo prize,
The jewel that no gold can buy,
An emanation from the skies
The last best gilt from God on high.

COTTON.

Westward the course of hunger has begun,
When we on cotton place our hands;
Yet our county is productive one,
And can satisfy our demands.
Then, farmer, consider good counsel tako
It's critical time indeed;
You should save all the money that YOU make
BY sowing reaping your own seed,
Yes, cotton is an unproductive weed,
Not like wheat, hurley, rye and corn;
So let your lands be planted with these seed j.,
Then your homes and farms you'll adorn
If you still "cottontots' prefer to be,
You and your county will grow poor;
For those whu raise cotton are neUer tree,
Still the cry to the West, send more.
Prepare your lands for wheat and corn this
year;
Let's return to the days of yore;
You can acnd send the news to tho West
next year.
We plant Tess cotton, SEND NO MORE.

Yesterday Grosvenor labored personally,

be carried. On top of these representations
meeting of Ohio clerks was called at the house
of a prominent Treasury official, and after
their hearts had been softened with sufficient
ibations in the stomach, the gravity of the
situation was rediscussed, and 1t was finally
resolved that all who could should 60 and
those who couldn't go should pay more lib

RANGES were given that the civil service rules
would be held In abeyance for the time being,
and that official decaPitation would not fol.
