The Ohio State Journal comes to the
defense Of President Hayes. and says !:
The man dose not live who Is more
earnestly anxious for the welfare Of
the loyaIists of the South. white and
black, than the President, and no
man will do more or'sacrifice more to
promote that welfare
We believe the Journal is correct /;
but can't see how the President can
do anything to promote the welfare
of the loyalists of the south however
much they may be oppressed without
being asked to do so-constitutionally
asked. AS the New Orleans RepubI
can pertlnently says: There is an

LONDON. April 27-In the House Of
Lords, Lord Stratheden asked how
far the government concurred in the
statement of the Russian circular that
the Gar represented the views and
interests of Europe. Earl Derby re-
piled that England was in no way
bound by the expression of opinion in
the circular as matter of fact. The
government does not accept or adopt
either the conclusion or the arguments
EN- bodied therein.

GOOD LIES.

PAPER money that is not cOnNtIIlDle

and a ie.-Henry Ward Beecher.
The above sentence is from the Ply
mouth parsons lecture on Hard
Times" 1t will be observed that he
does not say coin but gold. lie,
too. is a gold bug. He too is opposed
to the ..silver dollar of the fathers.
Now ifthe parson S assertion be true,
then there was never any honest pa
per money, and from the very nature
of things. never can be. Here Is one
fact: There never was IN all the
worlds history any paper currency
which promised redemption IN gold
alone. or in gold and silver, that was
uniformly and for any considerable
time. SO redeemed. That system has
always failed. :,
Tens of thousands of witnesses could
have been had on any day OF the last
one hundred years who would make
oath in court that they mad been swim
died bv paper notos that promised re-
demption coin. You can find men IN
every village in America who will, II
mt lpon oath. swear that they have
been swindled by such lying prom
iscs. England has such a system
and has had for many years,
And Notwithstanding there is but one
place of redemption, viz: The Bank OF
England in London, yet that bank has
been frequently compelled to suspend
the process of conversion. and acknOW-
ledge the swindle.
Here is another fact: The reason
of the suspensions heretofore, was
that the banks did not have the com,
either GOLD or silver or both to redeem
their promises.
Here is another fact: They did nj
have the coin because it wasnot III eX
istence-there were SO many more
promises than there was coin.
Here is another fact. The pOpula
ton and commerce of the world mas
long since outgrown the volume OF tnt
precious metals. There Is not golt

exchanges. nor one twentieth par

could with promise of the com. o

will be found out
If Mr.. Beechers statement be true
then we have long since passed the er

There is one other fact that we Nigh

A PROPOSITION THAT THE STATE CAN
NOT AFFORD TO REJECT.


We shall vote in favor of the settle
ment for the following reasons:
First-We believe it is the best
proposition that the bondholders viii
ever make.
Second-We believe it to be prop
osition that the State cannot afford tt
reject.
In six years more the bonds anc
interest, will amount to $1O,OO0.OOO
The bondholders now propose to &C
cept in full payment of the old bonds
new bonds running thirty years bear
ing per cent. interest for about fit!
per cent, of the amount now due.
1t does seem to us that it would bt
an act of supreme folly for the people
of the State to reject this proposition

THE ONLY WAY OF ESCAPE AND THAI
A VERY BAD WAY.

A VERY BAD WAY.
There is but one way in which the
State can avoid responsibility, and
that is by reputation, and that can
only be done by the direct violation
of one of the most prominent princi-
pies of law and morals, which pro-
vides that no individual or corporation
shall be allowed to take advantage OF
it's own wrongful acts. When we
consider the fact that the legality OF
the bonds is now fully established.
and that without doubt they must be
paid sometime, and that the bond
holders offer to relinquish their claim
if paid fifty per cent. of their face, we
see no reason why these bonds should
not be paid, and the stigma OF their
reputation removed from our State.

We draw these conclusions: First.
that the State is holden for them
second, that the delay in the matter
is having all the effect of reputation
and dishonOr upon the credit of our
State third, that the present propo-
sition is compromise arranged last
winter. and that it is regarded by
those who secured it as the most ia :
vorable it was possible to secure at
that time, and more favorable than
can be obtained in the future; fourth,
that it is just and equitable PROPOSE
ton. and as favorable to the State as
she ought to ask.
1t is on these grounds that we favor
a settlement on the basis Of the pres
ent proposition. We do not ask, is 1t
the most favorable that can ever be
had, for if it were possible to play
the bully and brOw-beat the holders
into other terms, it might be to their
Injustice, and our dishonor. Is it fail
and equitable ? should be the query
and if answered in the affirmative, we
should vote and labor for the remova
of this stain from the skirts of oul
fair young State. The fact remain:
that the proposition now offered is {
compromise. that it is come down.

holders might legally claim, and il
