WHAT NEXT?

France, by utilizing the teachings of
history in stimulating production with
an ample supply of full legal tender
money, not only enabled her own people
to pay off a thousand millions Of dollars
which the German war fine imposed ON
her, but be a continuance of the same
policy in times of peace, she has 60 rap
idly created wealth in excess Of the con-
sumptive demands of her own citizens,
that, as the result of the sale of her sur
plus productions 10 foreigners, her Treas
ury has become the greatest reservoir of
the so>called precious metals in the
world. The Bank of France, her fiscal
agent, holds in round numbers, $780,
100000. The French people, as estima-
ted by the best authorities, hold $1,000,-
100000. Total specie in France, 81 ,450,>
100000. The paper legal tenders are
not quite $500,0O0,000.
As the Bank of France pays the Gov>
ernment II per cent. per annum for the
Governmental endorsement, (which the
comforting of legal tender power amounts
toy and as the great and continuous in>
fiux of specie from foreign debtors aus
tomatically supplies ample currency ($45
per head) it happens that the Directors
the circulation of the legal tender paper
currency to a minimum. if for no other
reason, because they will thus save the
Government charge of II per cent. an>
nual tax. But the Government is in no
hurry to accede to the wishes Of the
Bank Directors, as it likes the revenue of
$7,500,000 and it attaches some political
importance to the fact that France is
demonstrating an unapproachably larger
power to obtain and retain Gold aud
Silver than any other civilized nation.
But the difference between the Bank
and the Government will be arbitrarily
adjusted on the first of January next,
as on that day the last installment of an
especial loan by the Bank to the Gov>
ernment will be paid, when the Bank
will resume specie payments in con-
formity with clause requiring the same.
when such obligation should mature and
be paid. And here comes in the query
which heads this article.-Will The
French Assembly deem the legal tender
issue to have fulfilled its mission in
enabling French citizens, first to pay the
national Indebtedness, keeping their
bonds from the hands of foreigners, and
afterwards to accumulate an unprece-
Sented stock of gold; or will it leglslaLe
for farther continuance cf the paper
circulalion? If by demonetizing silver
and gold, it should drive them into for>
eign investments, possibly it might re-
enact the experience of Venice, where
the paper legal tender advanced TO 80 per
cent. above the par of specie, and law
had to be enacted to raise gold and sil>
yer even so high as the rate of sevenLy>
five cents oil the dollar. N Y. Mer-

THE INCIDENT ABOUT GENERAL
GORDON.

From the Richmond Dispatch, 17th.
RICHMOND, VA, Dec. 11th, 1S77.-It
may be we'll to correct the incident in
refersnce to General Gordon and the
PRAYER on the eve of battle, which is
going the rounds, so far as to say that
General Gordon tUdS aecer a preacher.
His father was a preacher, as is also a
younger brother who served on his staff !;
but the General was simply one of those
earnest Christian laymen with whom our
army was blessed, who never hesitated
to ''show his colors," and who exerted a
wide influence for the religious good of
all who came in contact with him.
have heard him make exhorJations
to his men of great pathos and wonder
full power as he urged them to put their
trust in Christ. And have known him
to seek personal interviews with many of
his officers and men that he might press
upon them the claims OF the gospel.
In the winter of 1S63,64 it was my
privilege to assist Rev. A. B. Woodfin
(now chaplain at the University of Vir-
ginia) in a great revival in Gordon's
brigade, during the continuance of which
there were some three hundred profess
tions of conversion, and we regarded Gen
eral Gordon as one of the most valuable
and efficient workers in the meeting.
have thought it worth while to make
this correction as giving another OF the
many examples which show that man
need not be a preacher, in the technical
sense, in order to be actively useful as a
Christian worker.

wHArTHE PEOPLE SAY
CAN SILVER COIN BE LAWFULLY DE-
.s MoNETIzED? r.,a ,-r

CAN SILVER COIN BE LAWFULLY DE-
..s MoNETIzED? r.,Ht-.r.
To the Editor of the Press:
Sir: By Section OF the Constitution of
the United States, Congress is conferred
Win power ito coin money and regulate
the value thereof" and by Section 10, the
States are prohibited from making "any-
thing but gold and silver coin tender in
payment Of debts" These two phrases
comprise all the Constitution contains
that is pertinent to defining the status Of
gold and silver coin, from which does it
net follow that gold and silver are the legal
tender coins, and the oniylegal tender coins
Of the United States, and that silver is as
much part OF that coin as is gold? Now,
the Constitution being superior TO, and not
to be contravened by laws OF the United
States In conflict Herewith, must not the
Supreme Court, in case of a test question,
decide to the effect that whilst Congress
can by law regulate the value OF the gold
and silver coin, 1t cannot demonetize or
otherwise destroy theiegai tender quality OF
either gold or silver2 II it could demonetize
either, 1t could demonetize both; but can it
possibly demonetize either without further
grant by an amendment to the Constitu-
tion?
This view OF the case would seem also to
settle all the intended arguments so satiri-
cally aimed at silver by reference to the
copper cent, or to any other article being
made q permanent legal tender that is not
SO made by the Constitution.
1t should be remembered that the position
here taken does not conflict with the Con-
gressional power at any and at all times to
fix the relative proportions of metal to he
coined respectively in the gold and silver
dollars. This proportion has been changed
heretofore, and may be changed again and
why not therein the satisfactory solution
of the whole dificulty? 1t does certainly
seem contrary to all the instincts and best
tion by Its own act to persist In the depre-
| citation Of one Of IFS special and most Cdiidble
products, by destroying oneof the purposes
for which this product has been used
throughout the known history OF mankind
| 1t does seem dOubly SO, to compel long
suffering; debt-burdened people who are
| struggling SO persiStently and even disas-
trously TO be prepared for the so much de-
sired restoration of specie payments, to
have one of their natural and vital re-
| sources for such payment so ultimely cut
off, and of g. consequence to have their
debts relatively increased, and their suf-
ferings correSpondingly intensified. The
question Is not whether we shall "pay one
dollar with ninety two cents" but whether
shall be dispossessed of an important part
| of the means which God and Nature and
| the Constitution of our country have given
US wherewlth 70 pay our debts.
gence and honesty are on one side of this
question. The people cannot be deferred
| from thinking, acting, and Oott10 as they
maydeem best on question so vital to all
the growing interests Of great natson.

A PLAIN TO HAVE THE NAVY NAN
NED BY EDUCATED BOYS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The:subject
of educating boys in practical seaman
ship, 80 as to fit them for service in the
navy, having been thoroughly tested and
found to work to great advantage, will
be presented TO Congress this session by
the naval authorities, with the view OF
having such changes made in the law as
soon result in having our navy manned
entirely by educated seamen. Commo-
dore r. W. Shufeldt, Chief ofthe Bureau
of Equipment and Recruiting, who has
given much attention to the perfection
of this system, will explain the advan-
taees thereof to the committees on naval
affairs of the Senate and House OF Rep
resentatives, and recommend the passage
of law authorizing the enlistment OF
750 boys annually, which will be ten
per cent. of the actual number of sea-
men now allowed to the navy, as 1t has
been ascertained by experience in Eng
land aad elsewhere that such percentage
of new material will keep up the force
TO a perfect state. A year ago Congress
reduced the number of seamen for our
navy ITOI0 O,OOU W t'OVOj civ Univ IVY .
now enlisted and undergoing instruction
numbering about 470, are included in
the 1900 authorized by law. 1t is pro-
posed to retain this number Of seamen
and in addition thereto enlist 75O boys
annually, who will be trained and in
structed on the ships designated for that
purpose. 1t has been the practice OF the
Navy Department thus far to keep the
BOYS on the school ships one year and
then distribute them to the ships already
In commission. Three or four Of the
smaller vessels of the navy are now al
most entirely manned by them, and the
reports received at the department in re-
gard to their efficiency are OF the most
satisfactory character. Should the law
be SO amended as to authorize the en-
lstment of 750 boys annually, 1t Is
believed that in the course of ten years
the whole force of seamen in the navy
will he composed of those who were
enlisted under eighteen years of age and
properly instructed in seamanship.

ESQUIRE SEDAM,S WILL.

A Suit to Set the Testament Aside.
Suit was filed this morning in the
Court of Common Pleas by Amanda JOS
lyn and Isabella Elliott against Chas. t.
Sedan, Henry F. Sedan and others to
set aside the will made by Henry F. Sc
dam on or about September %, 1861, and
the codicil thereto dated May 20, 1855.
The will b?queaths his estate, real and
personal, to and among the following
persons: Chas. 7. Selam, son of said
Henry F. Sedan; Henry 6. Sedan, son
of said Charles, and named in the codi-
Gil as Harry G. Sedan; Matilda Sedan,
the wife OF Chas. Sedan. The will gave
to Lille Elliott and Nina Joslyn an in
terest in his Spring Grove burying-
ground, small interest IN some rents Of
property claims in Storrs Township.
The plaintiffs claim that Henry F. Sc
dam at the time of signing said Will was
of unsound mind and memory. They
therefore demand that the validity OF
said Will and codicil be decided by law.
