GIVE fz,uA CHANCE.

An application has been made TO Ills
Honor, the Judge Of the Police Court, by
the attorney OF Joseph Lewis, for reduc-
ton Of bail, and we believe public senti-
ment would sustain the court in granting
the application. 1t is impossible for him
t. give tie bail now required OF him
S5,O0O-but il the amount should be re-
duced TO - 900 he could give it. Under
other circumstances the amount now re-
quired would not be unreasonable, but IT
must be remem berod that the man is poor,
that he has hitherto borne a good charac-
ter, and that the evidence against him in
this case Is not at all conclusive; while
sufficient, no doubt, to warrant the Judge
in binding him over for trial, it is by no
means sufficient 10 convict a man upon
such charge before a jury. Nobody sus-
pects that he will run away; there is no
reason to doubt that he would not appear
for trial if released upon his own recogni-
zance, and considering all the circumstan-
ces we think the court would be entirely
justified, and would be fully sustained by
the public, in reducing the bail bond to a
sum within his reach, thus giving him an
opportunity to 60 about his work, and take
care Of his family, instead OF compelling
him 10 lie in Jail all summer, to answer Tor
a crime, Of which but very few persons
think him guilty.
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1878-03-28
AVAILABLE LESSON.

The coroners jury, in the case Of the man
Davis, who was killed yesterday morning
while trespassing upon another's premises,
rendered verdict of justifable homicide,
and public sentiment heartily endorses the
verdict. 1t is very serious thing to take
mans lie but there Is a certain lawless ele-
ment in this community whose depredations
can no longer be tolerated; in most cases
there Is so much difficulty in finding sufh-
cient proof to convict, that the law can fur
nish 10 relief; the only effective remedy is
the shot gun. When your premises are liable
10 be invaded any night; when you do not
dare TO leave your family alone in the
house, and when it is unsafe for a woman
10 be on the street alone, an hour after sun
set, in town OF this size,
il is time TO think about some
thing in self protection. We deprecate vio-
lence, but as matter OF prudence We think
it viii do no harm TO keep a loaded shot
gun in the hyusc, and il you discover a
thief proving about the premises at night,
make it point to se that he gets some
thing he didn't come for. 4 few loads Of
buck-sho;, put where they viii do the most
good, will accomplish more towards the res
toraiion OF o:ier than whole book full Of
city ordinances. We think the fate OF
Davis will prove salutary lesson TO good
many petty thieves, and If the same kind OF
treatment could be extended to lew OF
those who assault men upon the streets at
night, and insult unprotected women, we
should soon have better order.
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1878-03-28
4 GOOD SELECTION.

As we have before remarked, the appoint,
ment OF Charles Francis Adams as one OF
the Government Directors OF the Union Pa
cifc Railroad, indicates that the Govern
ment intends to turn over n new leaf IN
its dealings with that corporation. Refer
ing to fiiis appointment the Chicago Irt6ERe,
of II 18th says:
The appointment ofCharles Francis Adams
Jr-, as one of the Government Directors OF
tina Union Pacific Railroad, is a most COM
mendable and Mt selection OF the right man
for the right place. Mr.. Adams has made the
influence of the Railroad Commission Of
Massachusetts, felt in every part ofthe United
States. and his annual reports 20 the Legis!a-
ture are altogether the most important and
valuable contributions to the science and
philosophy of railway management that
this country has produced. In the new field
to which he has been invited by the Prcsi-
dent, Bis abilities and experience will, we are
convinced, prove highly advantageous TO the
public service. The relations of the govern
ment TO the Pacific Railways are now under
going examination in Congress, and the
appointment of Mr.. Adams indicates that
ille Executive intends 20 cooperate with the
legislative branch of the Government in
making IL thorough.

The bullion journals are kept very busy
now explaining away their prophecies re-
garding the effects Of the silver bill. We
have glanced over half dozen within an
hour, and find in each carefully worded
article telling why it is that gold has sunk
10 premium OF one per cent, and our
bonds at home and abroad are quoted at
higher rates than for several weeks. The
causes assigned for the present state Of
things coincide exactly with the arguments
used by the silver advocates in behalf of
the Bland bill. These bullion journals are
becoming conscious of their own ignorance
and stupidity, and hereafter We may expect
to find them less dogmatic when opposing
ing the measures OF the currency reformers.
The New York EreRiRg Post says that the
reason gold goes down is that it is so abund-
ant, Exactly SO. But did not the Pos pre-
dict that the remonetization OF silver would
drive gold out OF the country? Most as
suredly it did. That sheet, as well as all Of
its kind, took up with the sophistries of
such financial charlatans as Professor sum-
ner, and howled freely that The dollar OF
our daddies" would clean us out Of gold,
and thus deprive us OF the currency of the
world" But now that the daddy dollars
are forthcoming, and maintain their value
Of one hundred cents, the quacks explain the
case by saying that gold is abundant" On
Saturday last the New York banks reported
a specie reserve of S37 100000, which has
never been exceeded since the date of sus-
pension

We noticed the fact yesterday morning
that the United States Circuit Court had
issued an order to the Receiver of the l.,
L. & G. road, commanding him TO repair
the Lawrence bridge, and put the road in
running order, as soon as practicable
Now comes the Kansas City Journal, and
says:
Major B. s. Henning, receiver of the Leav-
worth, Lawrence & Galveston railroad, yes
terday made application TO Judge Foster, of
the United States district court Of Kansas, for
leave to repair the railway bridge at Law
renee. AS the road is in the hands of a re-
ceiver this work could not be done without
an order from the court. Judge Foster made
the order as requested by the receiver, and
the work will be forwarded as rapidly as pos
sible.
1t was certainly very kind in Maj Hen
ming to ask the United States Court to grant
him permission to obey the law, but it de-
tracts considerably from the magnanimity
of the act to remember that he didn't think
of it till the State authorities logged his
memory. The Journals statement that "as
the road is in the hands of receiver this
work could not be done without an order
from the court" is very attenuated story
to set up by side Of the fact that the law
of the State, under which the road has
been built and operated, requires it to do

lSt. Louis Journal; 1871

A correspondent asks: "After the gov
ernment resumes and redeems greeback,
can that greenback be put in circulation
again without the sanction of Congr, IS ;does
resumption by the government compel the
national banks to redeem the national bank
currency when presented for that purpose ?'
Under the resumption act if greenback is
redeemed twill be permanently retired from
circulation, unless Congress should direct
otherwise. As to the redemption of national
bank notes they are redeemable in green
backs, and have always been. 1t was not
necessary to pass resumption act to secure
that end. The national banks are forced
by law to keep on hand large reserves of
greenbacks for the purpose of redeeming
their notes. This greenback reserve is just
as good as destroyed, as far as the currency
of the country is concerned. And in spite
OF the fact that there is in existence some
thing over S70O,O00,O0O in greenbacks and
national bank notes it is true that only
about $3.50, 600 of this circulates-not
quite ten dollars per capita.

The outlook is decidedly favorable iOr
those States which, like Kansas, depend
mainly upon their grain crops. Owing to
wars in some sections, and crop failures in
Others, the foreign demand for breadstufs
is, this year, unusually large, and a good
foreign market means a good market at
home. There is great deal OF talk about
the fact that cur exports are mainly carried
in ''foreign bottoms" and that We are an
nually paying large sums, in interest, to
foreign capitalists but these circumstances
will amount to but comparatively little as
long as the nations of the Old World come
to our market to buy their wheat and corn.
And this they are doing now. The ST. Louis
journal says:
Tine rush OF breadsiuffs 10 Europe from

233 bushels of wheat, against "a sos bushels

ing time of 1877. There has been also a gain
OF something over one hundred thousand
barrels of -four, equal 10 10000 bushels of
wheat. This is large gain In the seaboaTd

WASHINGTON, March, 16.-Mr. Banning

Of War for information as to whether a

The SPEAKER then proceeded to call

The pending bill was one reported from

posals for mail lettings will be received at a
