compelled to pay in the legal tender cur
rency of the United States This will nat
urally aud necessarily result in draining
Ohio and Illinois OF legal tender notes and
flooding them with a debased silver coin.
The effect Of this on the business prosper
ity of these states need not be considered
and when there is a resumption of specie
payments it will be still worse, for the diff
ference in value between gold and silver
will be greater than the present difference
between silver and greenbacks.
Neither will these laws have any effect
on the reconciliation of silver. SO far as
these states are concerned it, may, perhaps,
be called kind of reconciliation of silver,
but ii is of kind which will tend to dig
gust the people with the very idea of re.
monetization. 1t places the people of these
states in something of the position they
occupied in the old days of wild cat bank
ing-with a currency nominally good at
home, but with which they could not stir
away from home without submitting to q
ruinous discount. The laws of trade re-
quire that there shall be currency of
uniform and standard value throughout the
woodland our present financial difficulties
are due almost entirely to the fact that the
United States endeavored to create cur
rency, and place fixed value thereon,
which was only recognized in this country.
And 70 Ohio and Illinois may, by law,
declare that two silver half dollars shall
have the same purchasing power a,
greenback or gold dollar. but that
purchasing power will not attach thereto,
any more than it did to the greenback
dollar wien congress made it legsl
tender. In order to make these laws OF
Ohio and Illinois of any force or effect, moi
only must the general government re.
mouetze silver, but this reconciliation
must, also, be the concurrent act of the
commercial nations of the world.

THE OHIO AND ILLINOIS SILVER LAWS.

The legislature of Ohio has passed an act,
to take effect on the first day of July,
making the current silver coin of the
United States legal tender for all debts,
public and private, within that state; and
similar law is in contemplation in Illinois,
bill for that purpose having already passed
one branch of the Legislature by nearly an
unanimous vote, with fair prospect of
passing the other. These laws are, per-
haps, strictly constitutional, for the prohi-
bition to the several states from making
anything but gold and silver coin, legal
tender in payment of debts" seems to i'm
ply that the states may make gold and sill
yer legal tender, although it may be a
question how far this power seemingly re-
served to the states may be limited by the
exclusive power given to congress "to coin
money, and regulate the value thereof. .
1t is evident that, under the present laws
Of congress, gold dollar is of more value
than silver dollar, and it may, perhaps,
be held that although a state is not pro-
hibited from making silver coin legal
tender, yet 30 long as the general laws of
the United States, in effect, place a differ
ent value on nominal dollar in gold and
silver, that the law of state making sill.
yer dollar legal tender-it not being a legal
tender under the laws of the United States
is an attempt to CIRCULATE the value" OF
money, and is, therefore, in derogation OF
the constitution of the United States, an
encroachment on the power of congress
and consequently void.
But whether these laws are constitutions
or net, they are equally absurd. We say
this without regard to the abstract question
of the reconciliation of silver-and W.
arc inclined to think that our government
made mistake W hen it demonetized ell
yer, and to believe that the double STANDARD
should be restored when it can be don,
with the concurrent action of the CONNER
cial nations of the world. The practical CT
feet of these laws will show their absurdity
At present a nominal dollar in gold is o
the actual value OF dollar; greenbacl
dollar is worth some ninety-three cents
while silver dollar is worth some five pc
cent. less. The immediate result will
therefore, be that this discount on silye
will be taken advantage of and debts ov
ing to citizens of Ohio and Illinois will b
paid therein, while the citizens of thos
states trading, or borrowing money,

We now learned we are about three
miles from Dover mills and ten miles
below Columbia mills. Our guide, the
negro spoken of in the 6rst of this nara,
tive, and who had been assigned TO this
expedition, misled us during the night,
and to obvia,e the delay of retracing our
steps, Colonel Dahlgren, on the represen-
tation of the guide that an excellent ford
was to be found at Dover mills, con-
cluded to cross at that point. After two
hours halt We again moved on and soon
reached Dover mills, but only to meet
disappointment. The nogro had de-
ceived us; no ford existed at this point,
nor was there any means of crossing the
river. He then stated that the ford was
three miles below this was most obvi-
ously islse, as the river was evidently
navigable to and above this place, as we
saw scows and a sloop going down the
river, and it would seem impossible that
he should not know that no ford existed
in the neighborhood, where he had seen
vessels daily passing. Colonel Dahlgren
mad warned him that if detected acting
in bad faith or lying, we would surely
hang him, and after we left Dover mills
and had gone down the river so far as
render prevarication unavailing, the
colonel charged him with betraying us,
destroying the whole designs Of the expe>
dition, and hazarding the lives of every
one engaged in it, and told him that he
should be hung in conformity with the
terms of his service. The negro became
greatly alarmed, stated contusedly that
he was mistaken; thought we intended
to cross tbs river in boats, and finally
said he had done wrong and was sorry,

purpose, and we left the miserable wretch
dangling by the roadside. His body was

gargle, he recommended the swallowing

A Mysterious New star.

The new star in Cygnus has gone
through a performance tl.at is a sore
puzzle to the men of science. As Its
gradually waning light comes TO be
examined by the spectroscope, it is
found now 10 have the features of a
planetary nebuls. For few years past
the spectroscopists have been pluming
themselves upon the important accession
TO the proof of the nebular hypothesis
that was furnished by the appearance of
the nebula when their light was
analyzed. The assertion was freely made
that the irresovable nebula consisted
largely of the simple gases, principally
hydrogen; they were supposed To be in
the process of condensation, ultimately
TO form suns. But here is star which
starts off as a sun with a varied assort-
ment Of streaks in its spectrum, and
winds up in few weeks with simplicity
of light and every evidence of being a
nebula. Evidently the previous notions
about nebua need revision. Prof. Lock-
yer suggests as way out of the difficulty,
that the new star may not be ~ many
million OF miles away rs the fixed stars
certainly are. II IL had been at that
great distance and had burst suddenly
into fierce incandescence at the time it
was first observed, il would have taken a
few million years for 80 long mass to
