thusiasm in behalf of a cause with
the utmost moderation in dealing
with its opponents, This is, per-
haps because he regards the cause to
which he is attached in its true light,
as simply an instrument to be used
in effecting a great result. He is, if
we read his speeches Alright, an en-
thusiast in the cause OF humanity,
and he recognizes at all times the
manhood, and consequent kinship to
himself, of liquor dealers as well as
liquor drinkers. He knows that in
the liquor trade, as in all trades, there
are good and bad men, with the good
in the majority; and in the heat of
his invectives against intemperance
he never loses sight of this fact
From first to last he makes it appar-
ent that his zeal is not for the tri-
umph of total abstinence, or the sue
cess of any faction, but solely for the
rescue of men from a degrading hab-
it; the result being that he carries
with him the sympathies of all class
es, the liquor dealers themselves
showing their detestation of drunk
enness by liberal contributions of
money to aid him in his work.-Rcg-

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Thc follow

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, June 10, 1877.
Francis 0. French, Fq., NcO York.
SIR:-Your letter of the 10th inst,
in which you inquire whether the four
per cent. bonds now being sold by the
government are payable principal
and interest in gold coin, isreceiyed
The subject from its greatest impor-
lance, has demanded and received
careful considerations. Under the
laws now in force there is no coin is
sued or issuable in which the princi-
pal of four per cent. bonds is redeem.
able or the interest payable, except
in gold coin of the United States Of
standard value, fixed by the laws in
force since the 14th of July, 1870,
when the bonds were authorized
The government exacts in exchange
for these bonds payment at their par
value in such gold coin, and it is not
to be anticipated that any future leg
islation of Congress or any action
of any department would sanction or
tolerate the redemption of the prin-
cipal of those bonds or the payment
of the interest thereon in coin of
less value than the coins auth
orized by law at the time Of the
issue of the bonds, being the coin ex-
acted by the governmentin exchange
for the same essential element of good
faith in preserving the equality be-
tween the coinage in which the gov
eminent receives and that in which
it pays. These bonds will be scarced-
ly observed by the government and
the people of the United States what
ever may be the system of coinage,
which the general policy of the M
ton may at any time adopt This
principal is impressed on the law of
July Nth, 1870, under which the
four per cent. bonds are issued, and
requires in the opinion OF the oxccu.
tive department of the government,

TheP Sq4g Sentinel, a Clarks-
burg paper, says: Numerous papers
are publishing facts and figures on
the Capital question: in which they
undertake to demonstrate the geo.
graphical superiority of Clarksburg
over Charleston. We have always
contended that Clarksburg was bet.
ter situated, by reason of its locality,
fol the Capital than Charleston, but
we do not wish to teach our people
tie same idea by false reasoning, nor
by false assumption of facts. The
table of facts and figures does not
give the comparative distances of
each county from Clarksburg and
Charleston, but merely gives the dis.
tance from certain counties to Clarks-
burgand from the remainder to Char
lestot, and the table as prepared and
published is not entirely fair. For
example: Wood county is set>down
as nearer Clarksburg than Charles
ton. IF the means Of transit only
are coniidered Wood is nearer Clarks-
burg, bit if the distance in miles is
considered, then we are nearer to
Charleston than Clarksburg as every
one knows. And we are told that
Calhoun is nearer Charleston than
Clarksburs, though the reverse is
stated on die table, and that Cal
houn has always traded with Char
lesion in preference to other towns
on account d its accessibility to the
upper Kanayha regions. And for
all we know many other counties,
with whose piecise locality we are
unacquainted, are similarly unfairly
stated. That The forthcoming cleo
ton may peaceably and forever set.
tie the Capital Question, let US have
the fight conducted with the utmost
fairness and clndor."
If brother Horner will take the
trouble TO read the batch of stuff sent
out over tho country to deceive the
in favor s I'd 4 fGjtarfs5Grg BY by the papers
published at that place, he will find
that the wonderful table he refers to
is about Is accurate as any oft. We
are peculiarly gratifed to see that
the Sentila, although prefering Clarks
burg as the place that should be Sc
lected, willing to expose one of the
many lies that are circulated by the
people Of that town to secure votes
for her success.-Courtcr.

Why the Capital Is Wanted at
ClNrksburg.

1t is well known that the State of
Virginia has set apart,and issued GER
tificates therefor, Sl5,000,00O of her
Indebtedness, to be paid by West Vir-
ginia, as her part of the old State
Indebtedness. These certificates,
John w. Garrett, President of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, is bus
lily engaged in buying up. Our Ia
test advices were that he had pur.
chased 81, 100000 of this debt. Now,
locate the Capital at Clarksburg, on
the B. & O. r. R., and what will be
the result? NJ. Garrett will bring all
the immense power of his gigantic
corporation to bear on the Legisla'
lures that meet there, and the first
our people know, they will be saddled
with his debt. We warn the people
of the State to rise in their majesty,
and defeat this infamous scheme

The New York HeralPs special Of
June 18th, gives the following de-
scription of the scene in the French
Assembly;
After President MacMahon's mes.
sage had been read NJ. Belmont de-
veloped the Interpolation offered by
| Gambetta on the 18th of May. With
his speech commenced scenes of vic.
lence never known since the days of
the first revolution. There were
heard imprecationsand insults which
Grevy, the President, declared never
paralelled in the annals Oft French
legislative history. For an outrage
offered to the speaker by Robert Nit
chell the President demanded vote
of censure, which was Immediately
passed. During the whole of Beth
mont's speech there was a succession
of most furious imprecations on the
part of the Right, and every attempt
Of the President to keep order was
met by shouts and threats ofdefance.
After Bethmont, De FOurtou ascend
cd the tribune to speak on behalf of
the government. He was bold, able,
vindictive and defiant, and was con-
tinually met by the Left with indig-
nant protestations, and was as re-
peatedly and furiously applauded by
the Right while the Lefbvainly zen.
deavored to suppress indignation in
his speech. He made chance allu-
sion to Theirs as the liberator Of the
territory, when there occurred more
extraordinary scene, the whole Left
rising to their feet and giving cheer
after cheer. Many of the members
rushed to the venerable statesman to
show the sense of justice of his trib-
ute. After Fourtou concluded Gam
BETA assembled the tribune. The
Deputies and galleries were under
the influence Of profound emotion.
His first sentences were met with a
storm of disapprobation and insult
from the Right. In vain the Presi.
dent tried to preserve order. Every |
appeal was met by scorn and insult,
Such was the violence of Paul de Cas-
sagnac that the President demanded
a vote of censure against him. 1t
was passed. This had no effect in
allaying the storm. Almost every |
word the orator uttered was met with
bowling and imprecations from the
Right, the Left responding by vocif.
erous applause. After hit made by
Gambetta the members would rush
into the area in front Of the tribune
and menace him with threats and
uplifted arms. The Left would also
rush to the area and at times col
lision seemed inevitable. For five
minutes the Chamber was q perfect
pandemonium, the President losing
all control over its angry elements
during this time. Gambetta with
folded arms stood unmoved in the
tribune. During the remainder of
the speech there was scarcely a pre-.
tence of order. Interruptions, de-
oaths hurled at him
from the Right and met with the
widest applause from the Left, and
amid all the disorder and violence

more terrible in invective or scath'
ing in irony. His stentorian voice
was heard above all the din and clam
or of his enemies, and he compelled
them to listen TO him. Concluding
his speeah he was overwhelmed with
congratulations by the Left.

Indignation Meeting in Mercer
ty-ResOIutiOns Adopted.


The following are the resolutions
adopted, June 9TH, by the people OF
Mercer county in mass meeting as
sembled:
Bet Resolred By the People Of Mercer
County, here assembled, That this whole
report with regard to the lawlessness
of our people is without foundation
in fact, and whether based on false
information, from citizens Of this
county, or any other source, or from
malicious motives, must without a
speedy public retraction, forever
brand its author as anatrocious slam
derer of an innocent people, instead
OF faithful public officer.
Re8olred, That the good people Of
Mercer county are in our opinion as
law-abiding as those of any county
in the State, and have not, and we
trust and believe, will not, in any
way or manner offer any resistance
to the efforts of the legally constitu-
ted authorities of the Government,
for the arrest and punishment of ILL
cit whisky distillers, or other viola
tors of the Revenue laws, in our midst
but we claim, and hope always to ex-
ercise the right to defend ourselves
by proper and legal modes, and pub
fish to the world the infamy of all
public officers coming among us, who
forgetting their high duties, under
color oflaw, descend to publish base
less SANDER on a whole community
for the wrongs done by few.
Resoyred, That the charge that the
bar and all the officers of our, Court
are in league with, and are part of
the whisky ring, and are banded to-
gether for its protection and defence,
is groundless and utterly false; for we
as their friends, and countrymen, can
and do bear testimony that almost
without an exception, the bar, and
the officers of our court are gentle
men of worth and integrity and are
faithful and vigilant in the discharge
of every public duty, not only in the
restraint of the lawless, but in the
punishment of crime.
Resolred, That we deeply sympa-
thize with the people of our sister
counties, Raleigh and Summers,
against whose good names, these
grave charges, we believe, are rs ma
lignant and false, as the same against
our own.
Resolved, That it is with mingled
surprise and Indignation, that we
hear charges of improper conduct
made against our esteemed friend,
John W. McCreery, who holds the re-
sponsible position of United States
Commissioner, and c. L. Thompson,
Editor of the Mountain Herald. We
regard both of these gentlemen as be-
ing incapable of any act degrading
to their manhood; in the one we re-
cognize conscientious Christian
gentleman, and in the othera fearless
defender of right, and must conclude
that this charge comes from personal
dislike, engendered by proofs furnish
ed, and the exposures made against
its author, through the Herald, rath-
er than from desire to promote the
public good.
On motion, the above resolutions
were adopted, and copy ordered to
be sent to the Mountain Herald, and
that the Cincinnati Commercial and
all the paper in this State be request
cd to publish the same.

Chairman.
