GEO. nj. M'LELLAN.
/ r. S.--Captain Riddle, of the towbOat
Calhoun, has made the following state.
ment in connection with this matter.

Mr.. Black, at the time referred to by
Captain M'Lelan, said to me that he
was determined to block the channel
through South pass bar, and that he
had Instructed two of his own captains
TO stick their ships in the jetties, and

gram that would say, Don't part Ca
bles." Unanswered all right. talked to
Captain Flynn, Of the tugbOat Mary
Lee, one Of the captains he referred to,
and we discussed the matter together,
and decided we would not do it. as the
pilots would have charge Of the vessels,
and we did not think IL either right or
practicable. w. II. RIDDLE,
Master of Calhoun.
In an editorial referring to this CORE.
spondence, the Picayune' says:
The incident'referred to is of SO astound-
ing character, it reveals q reckless dis
regard OF public interests and of private
rights on the part OF person who
ought to enjoy the confidence OF the
public, that, were it not for the standing
and reputation OF the gentlemen who
make the charge, we should think it the
freak Of disordered fancy. II investiga-
ton shall substantiate the accusation,
the guilty person will deserve the sever.
est condemnation OF an outraged COM
munity. We do not know that the law
can reach the case; but we do know that
scarcely any punishment can be too sc.
we're for such an act. Men have been
known to do desperate things to crafty
their vindictive spite, but a malicious
assault on great public interests, in re.
venge for fancied personal wrong, is
something almost inconceivable.

IN his admirable speech to the farm
ers OF Maryland last week, Senator
Bayard, DeIaware's Democratic states
man, spoke as follows of the attitude
the agricultural classes should take to-
ward the wild schemes for making
money out of paper promises and for
cling them on the people by the fiat OF
the Government:
What answer should the farming
classes, the land owners and the hardy
yeomen of the United States give to
these strange, wild cries we hear going
up from the political conventions of
parties with new names, that no more
rent should be paid for land, no more
interest for the use of money, that the
precious metals should be discarded,
and "absolute money" ordained by
law should replace and measure all
values and be received for all dues?
Who should 30 strenuously resist all
schemes which tend to lessen public
reverence for pledged faith, to weaken
confidence and to cripple and destroy
public (snd of course private) credit by
agreeing to plans for the indefinite
postponement of the payment OF public
engagements according to their terms?
| What portion of the American people
need credit so much and so regularly
as the farmer who has to wait six
months between seed-time and harvest
for his means of payment? If a man
would enjoy credit let him denOunce
all schemes to weaken credit and insist
upon all that will give it strength. To
the poor and honest man who needs
credit and is compelled to borrow
money, l earnestly commend these
words.
What portion of the American people
know so well as the agricultural class
the great fact that all values arise out
of labor, and that nothing of value can
be had without its share of labor?
TO whom, therefore, can the fallacy
that wealth can be created by empty
promises to create it, be more apparent,
and by whom should il more scornful-
ly and promptly be rejected?
Who knows the reality and necessi-
ty of steady, continuous manual indus
try better than the American farmer?
and who can better attest the fal5ehoOd
of system of currency which instructs
men lnaC pieces OF paper. upon Wnicn
is printed promise of payment never
to be redeemed, and which can be
multiplied Indefinitely at the will of
any accidental majority of Congress,
can ever be stable and reliable meas
ure of the value of those crops upon the
production of which so much human
toll, anxiety and care have been been
bestowed?
The pretended mysteries of the al
chemists have long since become the
subject of human pity and derision.
and surely the attempt now to revive
the greater delusion that a printed
Government certificate of value, not
convertible into anything OF value, can
take absolutely and permanently the
place of, and peform all the functions
of value. will speedily be discarded by
the 'sober second thought" of the
American people.

The Trade Dollar.

Some Democratic demagogues are
trying TO throw the Responsibility for
losses on the Trade Dollar upon the
Republican party and Secretary Sher-
man, whereas the responsibility rests
upon the Democratic party. On Feb
ruary Y, 1873, by the net of Republi-
publican President law was enacted
of which the following is section:
''SEoTIoN 15 That the silver coins OF the
United States shall be trade dollar, hall
dollar, or fifty-cent piece quarter dollar, or
twenty y-fiVe cent piece, dime, or ten-cent
piece; and the weight of the trade dollar shall
be four hundred and twenty grains troy: y
and said coins shall lie legal lender at their
nominal value for any amount not exceeding
five doll.rs in one payment"
On the Sth day of May, 1876, Sam uel
J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, presen t
Democratic Speaker in Congress in
troduced into the House bill, the
third section Of which read as follws:
SEC 3. ''That the trade dollar shall not
hereafter be d legal TENDER and the Secretary
of the Treasury is hereby authorized TO limit,
from time to time, the coinage thereof to such
an amount as he may deem sufficient TO meet
the export demand for the same.
On the 10th day of June following,
Hon. S. s. Cox, of New York, DEM
ocratic, reported Mr.. Randall's bill
back, from his Committee, and urged
its adoption, and on the 22d OF July,
1876, without modification, or a word
of opposition from Democrat in either
House or Senate, il became law.
1t will be seen that the legal tender
quality WAS stripped from the trade dol
lar, leaving it subject only to bullion
value, by the Democratic party, and
when Secretary Sherman discovered
that.certain business men were bring
ing them from the Pacific States-they
were originally coined for export trade
with China and illegally paying them
out as legal tender, he made use of the
authority vested in him by the law,
and stopped its coinage. The Demo-
cratic party took away its legal tender
character and refused last winter to re.
store its legal tender character and are
responsible for all losses sus-
tanned by the Trade Dollar.

No more false or silly notion was
ever advanced than large volume OF
paper money can be kept at par with
coin without redemption by the simple
fat of the Government. The feat is as
impossible as to lift a weight with a
lever without fnlcrup to rest the
lever on. Coin is the fulcrum that
gives to the lever of paper money its
power. In 1862 there were $50, ,0O0, 900
of greenbacks issued, pledged to be re-
deemed sometime. They were worth
about Sl47 900, 900 in coin. More green
backs were put out, until iR 1864 there
were $3.50, 100000 afioat, but the value
in coin Of the whole amount was only
Sl45, ,000,0 600. The volume was increas.
ed threefOld, but the value was actual
ly diminished. Now, under the in
tiuence of fixed date for resumption,
the S349, 900, 900 Oofgreenbscks outstand.
ing are worth in gold $344, 200 II
is proposed by the Democrats to put
out at least S320.000,000 more, and to
repeal the Resumption Law. The
evident effect would be to lesson the
value of the existing greenbacks one
half, and to inflict upon their holders
and upon the labor of the country loss
OF over one hundred and fifty millions
of dollars.

ONLY THREE DAYS MORE

After to-day but three working days
remain before our election. 1t is time
that Republicans should examine their
organization and see that there are no
weak points. Republicans must not
rely for success on the righteousness of
their cause alone. There should be b
thorough organization in every town
ship and personal canvass of every
school district by faithful, intelligent
men. Every voter should be made to
feel the importance of the election, for
in a full vote lies our only safety.
The peculiar nature of the issues invol.
we'd will bring out all the worst ele
ments of the Democratic party, while
our reliance must be upon that class
whose business cares and daily toll are
apt to keep them away from the polls
The industrious artisan, mechanic
