We copy this note of inquiry with some
pleasure, because 1t gives us an opportunity to
say that THE TRIBUNE has repeatedly de-
nouncod the packing of the Supreme Court for
the purpose of maintaining the lcgal-tendcr
character of the greenback. Moreover we
have constantly insisted that it was the duty
of the Court to abrogate as unconstitutional
every provision making a paper currency a
lega-tender in time of peace for debts then
contracted, and hold that Congress ought to
have repealed, and ought now to repeal the

LETTER FROM VOLCANO, W. WA.

ED. REPUBLICAN Il again re-
sumo the pen of correspondence, with
nothing very important to commu-
nicate, yet | know that many of the
readers of your valuable journal, like
myself, are fond of reading letters
from ''far off climes" After mail
ing my last letter we had "spell'
of very warm weather, the thermon-
eter for several days registering 81
degrees and on one occasion even
running as high as 101 degrees. Just
at that point it 'took a turn" in the
opposite direction, and speedily came
down to 540. To-day Monday it

A French engineer has proposed to
establish tramways with granite
tracks in lieu of rails in Finisterre.
He is of opinion that this system is
far preferable to the ordinary rail
roads. There alrerdy exists a vast
network of what are in truth tram
ways with granite rails, worked by
horse traction in Nothern Italy. In
the streets of the principal towns and
sometimes on the roads tracks OF
granite are laid in the highways. The
surface of these tracks being fat and
perfectly smooth, the wheels of the
vehicles glide over them with the
least possible friction. The conductor
of each vehicle takes care so to guide
it that the wheels always remain n
the granite. The author Of the project
maintains that there is nothing to
prevent the granite from being used
by carriages driven by steam power
in like manner as though drawn by
horses.

THE Cincinnati newspapers con

THE Cincinnati newspapers con-
tain reports from all parts of Ohio,
and even from adjacent States, show
ing that a total abstinence movement
not much less extensive than the
"crusade" of last year is under way.
Red ribbon societies are being organ
lied in great numbers, usually in
connection with churches, although
in many instances the leaders are
lawyers, who are by no means relig-
ious. The members wear knots of
red ribbon in their butthoIes as bad
ges of allegiance, and intence earn
estness is manifested. Several Con-
gresSmen, most of the clergymen.
and indeed, large proportin of the
prominent men of Ohio make
speeches and aid in forming societies.
The pledge in use covers beer and
cider, as well as stronger beverages,
and is for life. The starting of this
fresh agitation is said to be due to
Murphy, the Pennsylvania reformed
drunkard, who has met with aston
ishlng success in his own and other
States as a total abstinence revivalist.
He is now holding meetings in Phil
adelphia.

President Hayes, it is stated, is
received a great may friends letters
from persons in various parts of the
country begging that he will make
an effort in some way to secure the
punishment Of the murderers of the
Chisolm family in Mississippi.
These letters nearly all assert that
this massacre, standing unayenged,
will be lasting resnke to his South
ern policy, and that even if he is
powerless to directly act in the mat
ter of bringing the murderers to JUS
tice, he should use his influence with
Gordon, Lamar and other Southern
ers who have been his advisers, and
who are in way responsible for the
crime. The President can do nothing
except in the way of exerting a moral
influence toward Furnishing the
banditti. Secretary Evarts is also
reported to have taken up the matter
and is preparing letter to Governor
Stone, setting forth in very decided
terms the opinion ofthe Administra-
ton in regard to the cowardly muir
der of Judge Chisolm and his family

Southern people in regard to the
position of the President upon the
question of protection of citizens of
all classes Throughout the South, and
it will furnish an Interpretation of
the Southern policy, which does not

The City Convention.

1t is evident enough from the spirit
manifested at the Democratic prima-
ries and afterwards at the City Con-
vention, that the fight for the May
atty nomination will be hard one,
and that there is a good deal of the
old leaven of Ringism at work in
the Democratic ranks. The cam
paign commenced at the primaries
with a goodIy display of rowdyism,
which showed itself pretty freely af-
forwards at the meeting of the Con-
vention. If this is the way in which
the Democratic campaign begins,
what we are to expect when the Fall
elections occur? The people of this
city, however, are determined to
show the rough and rowdy element,
no matter on which side that ele-
ment appears, that they cannot be
bull-dozed again as they were in
1875, and that there must and shall
be quiet, orderly and peaceful cleo
ton.
AS for the Convention, it was of
the same class and character to which
we have grown accustomed to in this
city-no worse, and we are sorry to
say no better than usual. The DEM
ocratic party must do better with
their nominations than they have
done in regard to this Convention, or
the people will know the reason why.
The make up of the Executive Com
mittee, ihowever, does not give
promise of a much better order OF
things, but smells strongly of the
old corrupt Ring.--Bdttim0rean, in

Judge Bacon of South Carolina WI

Judge Bacon of South Carolina who
is now visiting Washington with let
tiers from Governor Wade Hamton,
expresses establishment that doubt
should longer exist as to the inten-
ton of Governor Hampton and the
Conservative Democrats of that State
to support the administration ofPres.
ident Hayes. He denies the state
ment made to the effect that Cover
nor Hampton ignores the colored
citizen, and says that just after his
Inauguration he made earnest efforts
to secure the names of the most in
telligent colored men in the several
counties of the State for the purpose
of appointing them to local officers.
The first officer he appointed after he
became Governor was a colored man.
