We reproduce a letter written by the
late Hon. John Law, of this city, to
Hon. Thadteus Stevens, in 1867, togeth-
or with Mr.. Stevens note to the editor OF
Washington Chronicle asking it's publ
cation. Though opposed in politics, Mr..
Stevens and Mr.. Law were warm persons
al friends. The former forced the Repub.
licans in Congress 10 place themselves on
record as advocates Of the payment OF
the $40 bonds in grcenbacks. lie was a
friend and representative of the masses,
the acknowledged leader Of his party in
the lower branch of Congress, and the
greatest Commoner the Republican party
has produced. His denunciation of the
knayes who as early as 1850, were striv>
ing to plumber the people for the benefit
Of the money mongers by changing the
character Of the bonded debt from a cur
rcncy to a eoldbearing debt, was scath-
ing. lie was a consistent opponent of
the National Bank system, and one Of
the most Jealous friends of the greenback
Upon this subject he said IN 1866;
ain my judgement this whole National
Banking system is a mistake. | thought
so at the time it was adopted and l think
so stih, think every dollar of paper

Government of the United States. |
think that the Government ought to
have all the profit OF such circulation,

If Thaddeus Stevens had lived, the
contraction thieves would not now be

THE LIC N6E LINT.

We think Mr.. Springer is setting an exam
pie In the matter of refusing a list of license,
granted or disapproved, which NAV b.
iraught with serious consequences in tn,
future. The Constitution expressly de.
c'ares that "all courts shall be open." I,
Is unwise and illegal to assume an arbitrary
right to close the records of a court, even
for good purpose, in the face Of this ex-
press provision of our organic law. It NAV
oe That the county will suffer financially
from the zeal Of temperance propagsndis.s,
but dsobedience of the plain demands of
the Constitution in thi, i,regard is beyond all
money value, and cannot be condoned for
cash.
Inc right of any citizen, is beyond ques-
tlon, to haYe access to the records of the
Court, as it would be absurd to hold that
the consti' utional provision means that the
Court House doors should be open-it means
nat its acts and records shall be open to
