The silver Question.

Congress is still engaged in the dis
cussion Of the silver question-that is,
whether silver shall be part of the
currency of the country in connection
with gold 1t seems to be pretty well
settled that silver will be, as we think
it should be, remonetized, aud will take
its place as part Of our circulating
medium. Its exact status or relation to
gold seems to be the great difficulty. 1t
is feared by some that being the least
valuable Of the two metals (gold and
silver it will drive gold out Of circula-
ton; and by others that the government
will assert its rights to pay our bonds
in silver instead of gold, which tits
maintained would be violation of
plighted faith. However that may be
we will not pretend to say, only If tho
bond says gold let the bargain be kept.
If the bond requires the"pound OF flesh"
why let the pound Of flesh be paid.
Neither governments nor individuals
can afford to go behind the strict letter
Of their obligations without danger of
dishonor But what we think is most
material in the matter is that we should
as soon as possible get our currency
whether it be paper, gold or silver
down to fred value, so that it will
he entirely removed from the field Of
speculation. When this is done il
seems to us that business will readily
resume its wonted channels, and the
period of depression be speedily brought
to close. This is what is most needed,
and the sooner this fact is recognised
by our Legislators the better we think
il will be for all concerned.

Looking after the TrePsury.

These are the times when investiga-
tions are the order of the day. This is
well. There should be general over
hauling of public affairs, for the times
appear to be sadly out OF joint, and
there cannot be a too close scrutiny into
the conduct of the servants of the peo-
pie. Moved by this spirit We notice
with satisfaction that Senator Davis OF
this State has set on foot an inquiry into
the affairs of the United States treasury
department. II we mistake not he in-
sisted during the administration Of that
department by Mr.. Boutwell, tha: there
were discrepancies and omissions in
some of the accounts which could not
be satisfactorily explained. aud be reit-
crates that the same condition OF affairs
still exists. Whether Mr. Davis will
be able to make clear his assertion IS
not material to the question. An inves-
tigatiou can do no harm, and may do
much good. II there be looseuess in
this department, the most important
branch of the government, it is right
that the people should know it and that
Congress should find remedy therefor.
Mr.. Davis may have hard task before
him to anravel the tangled skein OF our
financial matters, but he has the nerve
and the intelligence, aud we should not
be surprised if he does not bring TO the
light of day some rather unpleasant
deYelonmenti.

l desire to call the attention of the citi-
zens of Berkeley and surrounding coun-
ties to the fact, that l have on hand
large and elegant supply of family car
riages, 'buggies, rockaways, jenny linds,
and otherstyles of vehicles, also wagons
of all kinds and descriptions, which am
selling lower than other dealers in my
line, either for cash, on time, or in eX-
change for horses, country produce, or
secondhand carriages. L ask attention
to these terms as they are more liberal
than carriage makers usually offer. Times
are hard and money scarce, but want
my friends and customers to know, that,
nevertheless, they can supply themselves
with carriages.
Persons in want of old carriage wheels
TO fix up their market wagons, or to make
temporary wagons, will find at my facto-
nv anv kind they may desire, some of them
very good and will last a long time for
such purposes.
Repairing promptly done as usual. Give
me a call, if you want anything in my
line; it will not be my fault if we don't
deal.
