Mr.. EDITOR viii you please in
form me through your valuable paper
why the Packard government in Loui-
siana was not entitled to recognition
by President Hayes? Why Packard,
who had more votes than some Of the
Hayes electors, ought not to have been
supported by the President, even if it
took all the United States forces to do
so? REPUBLICAN.

John Sherman, Secretary of the
Treasury, expresses the opinion, that
if the European war progresses, which
now appears inevitable, our currency
will be brought to a par with gold ;
that the large export and decreased
import trade would secure large in
flux of specie to make the balance III
our favor, which, together with the in
creased production of gold and silver
mines, the product for the present
month being estimated at 100000,
will do the business.

for myself, for the first time in twenty
