TREADWAY IN TROUBLE.
CRosswHITE CROSSED THE RIVER

A deliberate and cold -blooded MUIR
der occurred at Perry, Rails county,
last Saturday, in which Geo. Tread
way killed Jas. Crosswhite. They
were brothers-in-law, and fell out
about a settlement of an estate which
they were both interested in. Tread
way claimed that Crosswhate owed
balance of S11.00, and threatened to
kill him if not paid, which threat he
carried out. They were both consid-
cred good citizens. Treadway is a
farmer. Crosswhlte was 6, merchant
and postmaster. The difficulty oc-
Cured in Crosswhite's store. Tread
way snapped three times at Cross
white before his pistol would go off.
The fourth time the ball took effect,
and Crosswhite died Saturday night.
Treadway did not seem to be alarmed
at what he had slone till he found out
his brother-in-law was dead; since
then he tried to get hold of razor to
commit suicide with. He was arrest
ed by a posse on Saturday night.

The last afternoon of the last ses-
sion of the Summit County, Ohio,
Teachers Institute was set apart for
school directors. Teachers, direc-
tors, and others made speeches and
three resolutions were adopted, the
first in favor of county uniformity in
textbooks, the second in favor of
township organization and supervis-
ion, and the third in favor of hiring
teachers by the year, and beginning
and closing schools at the same time.
Amen, to that.

Thus we find that during the seven
years named the government issued and
sold $l,874,S36, $50 bonds, for which it re-
ceived greenbacks, worth in gold only
81. 248, 466,82 These bonds were pay
able in the same kind of money they were
sold for greenbacks but when in 1869
the government gratuitously pledged itself
to redeem them in coin,it made them worth
dollar for dollar in c9in-thereby giving to
the holders of them 1926, 800 800, for
which it had not received dollar of con-
sideration.
And this is not all The interest on the
bonds from the beginning was paid in gold
even through the war, when the value of
gold in lawful money was $50 to $50, the
government paid interest at the rate of 6
per cent. in that coin-this interest being
equivalent to about per cent in lawful
money, and including the exemption of the
bonds from taxation, to ii per cent. in
fact. 1t is submitted, then, that the public
creditors have no right to complain of in
justice when the people simply demand
that their bonds shall be paid 10 coin
that is, either gold or silver, as the act Of
1869 provides. 1t is hardly fair, after the
government made the gratuitous concess-
ion of paying greenback bonds in coin, for
the public creditors to claim that the
further concession of paying them in gold
shall be added. st. l., Republican.

The covernmeut ana its creditors.

Secretary Sherman, in his letter written
to New York broker during the negotia-
ton of the per cent. bonds, assured his
interrogation that the bonds, would be paid
in gold. Gold, he said, was demanded
for them, and it was not to be imagined the
government would redeem them in a
money of lessI value than it received for
them. This is a very fair rule if it had
been made general from the beginning,
and applied to all bonds. The people
could easily afford to pay thea per cent.
bonds in gold if they were permitted to pay
the other bonds in the money received for
them. But while SecretarySherman gives
it as the opinion of the treasury depart.
ment that the 4 per cents. should be paid
in the same kind of money they were
bought with, he. failed on critical occasion
to give the people the benefit of the rule:
he advocated and assisted to pass a bill
which binds the government to pay about
eighteen hundred million per cent bonds
in money worth Is to go per cent. more than
the money with which they were bought. A
recurrence to the negotiation of the five
twenty bonds reveals some facts which are
both interesting and instructive at this
time. There were several issues of these
bonds during the period from 1862 to 1868,
iuclusive-all of ethem having been sold
at par for greenbacks-each $1,000 bond
bringing to the government $1,000 in
greenbacks. OF course the gold value re-
ceiyed for them varied with the depreciation
Of greenbacks-the price of gold ranging
during the period FROM $50 to $50. The
first issue was made in 1862 and was
500. 9S2, 45O. They were sold at par for
greenbacks. worth in gold at the time $44,-
O3O, 649-giving to the purchasers a clean
profit of 5 16,951, SOL. The next issue was

sold at par for greenbacks, the gold
value of which was $l01, $685.

We separate the wheat from the other grains re-
ccived at Chicago because the railroads terminating
there are classed as wheat and corn roads. But it
will be observed that the receipts of wheat at Chi
cage in January are 100000 bushels less than in
September and less than half tho receipts Of Octo
Der: while Of other grains the receipts In Janu-
airy are 4,3s3,000 less than in September. and
