TUE UNIT or TALUE.

This country has by law three leGal-tenderS
but only one "unit Of value The fact does
not seem to be comprchcnded 10y many of
the Congressional champions OF cheap
money. No doubt, they intended to make
the silver dollar the unit of value, but
they neglected to repeal Section Boil
of the Revised Statutes, which provides that
a gold dollar Eat the standard weight Of
twenty-five and eighth-tenth grains shall be
1.-THE unit of value" This is the controlling
provision Of United States laws to-day, as it
was when the lcgaltender note was largely de-
prcclatcd. We have now gold CONS. paper, and
silver coins three distinct kinds of legal-tender.
II il entirely optional with ANYBODY who owes
debt, unless there is some specification Iii his
contract, to pay that debt with either of
these legal-tcnders. But it is also optional
with those who have money to insist
that loans shall be paid in either of
the three lcgal-tcnders, and to refuse
To- lend without such stipulation. They nat
urally prefer to lend gold, and Ill that pref
crence they are sustained by the laws of the
United States, which make the gold dollar
the unit of value. Moreover, every other
legal-tender except gold is in some manner
limited by provisions of the law. The paper
note cannot lawfully be paid for interest ON
the public debt or duties on imports. The
silver small coins can lawfully be paid i'll
satisfaction of debt only if the debt does
not exceed five dollars. The silver dol
lars are limited as lcgal-tendcr by
the restriction az To coinage. Gold alone
Is legally unlimited in supply and in
discharge Of debts. Such is the law of this
country to-day, aud bankers and business
men, as well as Members of Congress, are
bound to take note of the fact.
Hence, not much dependence should be
placed in the suggestion that the Clearing
House banks may withdraw their resolution
as to silver. For they are clearly within their
rights. The law of the United States
not only leaves them entirely free to
choose which of the three legal-tcndcrs they
will require in settlement of dealings with
them, but it emphatlcally sustains the prefer
cncc which they have announced. The
law makes gold the only unit of value.
and the only medium for payments
without limitation, and the banks do but rec
ogniZe and conform to the law in providing
that deposits. loans and payments Of silver
shall be made upon separate and special
account. The thing which makes the silver
iobbcr angry is not that the banks
will not receive silver for they will upon
special account; not that they will not lend
or pay silver, for they will if anybody de-

WHAT Will rHEY DO ABoCT 1T,

There seems to be an animated discussion
among the Democratic politicians about the
best course to adopt with reference TO the
Cipher Dispatches. Some of the leaders of
the party at Washington are strongly
disposed to order IN investigation by
the Potter Committee in the expeCta-
ton of discovering felOnious transac-
tons on the Republican side to balance
the operations of Weed and Marble. Some,
less sanguine and better informed, propose to
investigate just far enough to relieve the
party of the Odlum of sustaining Mr.. Tilden.
And third faction recommends the Demo-
cratic House to stick to routine business this
Winter, and refrain from stirring up cess
pool. If we might offer advice to our
afflicted adgersares in their trying situa-
ton, it would be that they consult Mr..
c. w. Woolley, Mr.. Manton Marble, Mr..
Smith NJ Weed and Colonel William 4. Pei
ton. Those gentlemen know just how much
there is still 10 come out. They can perhaps
supply the party leaders with copies of the
cipher kilograms that have not been pub
lished They can give clearer account than
we have been able to furnish of the
final disposition of the large sums of
money which were promised for cleo
toial votes in Florida and South
Carolina. They can, at all events, tell how
far the conspiracy extended. and how many

The new GOvemOr-General of Canada has
made genuine royal progress to the chief
city of his donnions, and has had a
royal reception there. There can be no
doubt, after yesterdays fervent demonstra-
tions, of the loyalty and hearty friendship with
which the people of Canada welcome the
Viceroy as well as the Queens daughter. He
seems to have made most favorable impress
sion already with his honest looks and cordial
manners, and could hardly commence his
new career with brighter prospects.

A Very Valuable History.

We have received from the Nation
al Publishing Company. of Philadel-
phia the advance sheets of the latest
publication. The work is entitled
The Pictorial History Of the World, by
JAMES D. MoCABE, the well-known
historian. This book is literally what
it processes to be-a complete His
tory Of the World-for it gives a
clear and concise account of every ma
ton thst has ever fourished on The
globe. The history of each country
is related separately, and in the
clearest and most comprehensive man
ner, and the deeds of all the great
actors in the events of ancient and
modern history ARE brought before
the reader in the most vivid. style.
Ancient history is related in full, and
the accounts of the Middle Ages, the
Crusades, and the great nations OF
modern times, are equally valuable
and interesting. There is not a dry
page in the book. It is as fascinating
as a romance, and at the same one Of
the most valuable works of reference
ever published. We are constantly
called upod to discuss the great cues
tions of history, and the wars. and
quarrels of the nations of the old
world require to be continually: re-
freshing our historical knowledge.
In its mechanical execution the book
reflects great credit upon its publish
ers. 1t is superb volume of 1861
large double-column pages, printed
on paper of the very best quality.
The book contains over $50 of the
finest and most beautiful engravings
ever published in this country. They
are new, having been made expressly
for this work, and embrace battles
and other historical scenes; portraits
Of the great men of ancient and
modern times; and views Of the prin-
cipal cities of the world. These en-
cravings are genuine works of art,
and were made at a cost Of over
$4,000. The great number and
high character. of these engravings
make this the most valuable art pub
lication of the century. y. The work
contains a complete History Of the
late Var betWeen Russia and Turkey,
which is the only history of this
struggle in print. -
1t is for sale by subscription only,
and agents will find that this book
will sell readily when all others fail,
from the fact that it is work that
the people really want. See the pub
fishers advertisement for agents in
another column.

which appeared in your issue of March

himself Miner" wherein he says
that the mines owned by the Mary

either man or beast to work in, etc.
Now, Mr.. Miner" you are either
talking whereof you know not, or
you are telling willful misstate-

your assertions before any committee

all its provisions, the Maryland coal
company can ship great many tons

their miners good DIR to work in while
doing it. ...
