Ofhandicapping is 10 be found III 1
custom at one time, perhaps, as pFevaI.
ent In England as the modern practice
of ra filing. One person, let Il be sup
posed, had a pocket knife which he
wished to exchange for another persons
pencil case. He would "challenge I"
the owner Of the pencil case to make
the exchange with him, and this being
agreed to a third person would be
found to "make the award, ? or, in other
words, to arbitrate as to the respective
values of the two articles, and to award
certain sum by way of equallzlng
them. Before the award was made all
three would deposit In hat or cap a
certain stake, which the arbitrator
would appropriate In the event Of his
award proving satisfactory to both
parties, or In the event Of bis award
proving satisfactory to neither party.
The way in which this willingness or
unwillingness to abide by the award of
the umpire was expressed seems
originally to have been this: The two
exchangers were to stand each with q
"hand-p-the cap" and on the award
being uttered-after an amount OF
circumlocution purposely intended to
confuse them--they were instantly to
withdraw their hands aud open them.
IfbOth hands held money In them both
were understood to accept the award,
the exchange was made, and the
arbitrator pocketed the stakes. II
neither held money, the bargain was
not concluded, and the stakes were still
forfeited to the arbitrator. Ifonly one
ofthe two displayed q coin, that one
drew the stakes, and the exchange was
not made. According to modern rules
20 handicap match Is A, B and G to
put an equal sum each into q hat; c
who is the handicapper, makes match
for A and B, who, when they have
perused II, put their hands into their
pockets and draw them out closed
then they open them together, and II
both have money in their hands the
match is confirmed; II neither have
money, IL is no match" Thus 1t will
be seen that, whereas the cid practice
was literally 9 "hand-P-the-cap," thu
modern has become q "hand.r-the

The LouI.Iana CrImInnIs.

For several days past there has been
a great deal Of excitement in Louisiana
on account Of the indictment Of those
distinguished but perjured Republican
patriots, Returning Board Wells and
Anderson. In New Orleans particu.
larly, these subjects have been all the
talk. Our readers will remember that
the above distinguished but perjured
patriots composed the butt end of the
beautiful but rascally. contrivance
known as the Louisiana Returning
Board. Two little niggers composed
The other end, but as they were low
priced fellows and didn't count for
much anyway, the lump Of crime and
infamy attaches to Wells and Ander-
son-we beg his pardon, General An
derson. Our readers will remember
also, that after the Democrats carried
Louisiana by about nine thousand
votes, these professors of pure perjury,
counted" the State for the concern that
calls itself the Southern Republican
party. To do this, Of course they per.
petrated all sorts Of cussedness, and
cussed all opponents of justice. The
Republicans, that is the fair Republi.
cans, admit that there is no discussion
as to their crime, but claim that the
scoundrels ought to be allowed to go
free because there was an understand
ing on the part Of the influential lead
ers on both sides that there should be
no political prosecutions after Gov
ernor Nichollss Inauguration. OF
our own knowledge we do not
know whether there was such
an understanding or not, but We Ger.
tainly think, that If there was such an
understanding, 1t ought to be kept in
good faith. The telegraph informs US
that Governor Nichols has determined
to pardon the wretches should they be
convicted. This leads US to believe
that there was an understanding, and
we applaud Governor Nichols for his
determination to abide by 1t. Any
who made such an arrangement are
doubtless the trusted leaders OF the
Democratic party, and If the people
could have been consulted they would
no doubt have confirmed the act of the
leaders, especially when the vast bene-
tits that were gained are taken into
account. In tho face Of the facts Il is
folly to prosecute these men now. As
the people refrained from killing them
when they would have been perfectly
justiHable, they can now refrain from
a long, tedious prosecution which, II
successful, would be q miserably un'
satisfactory punishment.

or All the Fools.

Good Deacon Smith, editor OF the
Cincinnati Gazette, thus presents his
"views" on resumption:
The Government is not nor will be pre-.
pared to resume at the given date. IfyOu
remonetize the silver dollar, even then
you cannot resume with that vitiated cur
rency. For we have the highest author
ity, the Director Of the Mint, for saying II
all the mints in the United States were
put TO work on the so-called silver dollar
OF our fathers they could only furnish $50.
10000, which, with $l5O,OOOOO0 in gold,
makes 500, ,O,N,CQO to replace the present
currency OfS75O,COO,COO, which means con-
traction and ruin to all.
Ofa.l the fools on this earth the old
financial fool is the biggest. When be
starts in on finance, be figures out his
"views" until be Is a fit subject for
lunatic asylum. He is, If that be pos.
sible, bigger fool than the "Old gen.
tleman with views" on the niger ques-
ton in this State,
The foolish Deacon goes to work TO
show that ii silver is remonetized there
will not then be enough coin with
which to resume specie payments He
figures 1t out that S2OO,0OO0OO. coin can
not replace $7j0,0O0,000 of circulation.
lie means by this, If a financial fool
can mean anything, that the United
States could not dare to resume with
as little as S200,0O0,000 in coin. We
deny this. II the Government will act
honestly aud make no discrimination
between the greenbacks and bonds, re-
ceive the former for duties, remonetiza
silver, pay coin for grecuGacks when
ever presented instead OF discounting
them or pay Al iDtercouvertible bond
if the coin gives out, resumption Is
practicable on much less coin than
$200,0G0000. 1t Is the old story of the
Fcenchman, who didn't want his money
from the bank so long as he knew 1t
was there. What is more needed than
coin to resume, i: restoration Of con.
fdence and reliance By the Govern.
;nent on Its vas, resources and credit
As long as the Government discount,
its own paper, the whole world will
discredit it. ltis remarkable that it /,
as near par as it Is, and we can acCo IN
for 1t only by the theory, that til,
world has a belief that our finances vii
mot always be managed by incompe
tents.
