HON. CLARKSON n. POTTER'S VIEWS
tion for Congress, Mr.. Potter wrote an
able letter. from which we take the fol-
lowing:
A redeemable currency need not be
limited in amount. But a currency
which is neither redeemable nor fixed
in amount, but is liable to bs changed
iii value by legislation, is OF all curren
ness. For myself, ! believe that if Con-
gress could he abolisEed ror two years
the Industries of the country would be
reviving within a month; but just as
long as the agitation for changing the
measure of values goes on. just so long
will those industries be kept down.
If it be granted that legislation has
been in the Interest Of the b0ndhoiders
and capitalists, and that the national
creditor has been considered at the eX-
pense of the business and industry Of
tho country, VT tie evil is GCne the
bottom is reached, aud to 90 back will
not relieve but in ure all classes, and
above all the laboring class.
If a lad were forced into river far
too wide for his young strength but
which az sGIle tine IL his life i.e aust
pass, aud should by fortunate circum-
stance just succeed in crossing the flood
until he could touch the other shore, he
might well feel indignant at those who
had SO treated him. But surely it would
he better for him then to wade out to
the dry lana than, because Gr this i'll
treatment, to Insist On being carried
back to the further side to wait there
until he had grown older and stronger
before swimming the stream. Having
once got over to the desired shore, no
matter at what cost, he had better re ,
main there.
Just SO, Now that we have reagag4
the epeqie point, no inattar how unWise
the legislation of the past, nor how dan
gefQus, we had better stay there, Hav-
ing tatIoLed bottom, lei as build upan
it, and not again go back over the sea to
uncertain measures Of values.

SHARP PRACTICE Some of our cat

farmers on snort credit, say thirty
days, which will enable them to snip
the cattle to market. and sell them in

sotne of them have been bringing hack
from Baltimore, Mexican silver dollars,
and discharging their obligations to the
farmer in that currency. These Next

and only pass current for SO cents. These
cattle men only received them for 80
cents, yet they come home and impose
on their unsuspeoting neghbors, by
passing the money at its face value. We

TIRED OF LIFE.-On last Tuesday morning
the dead body of S. Bolt Weaver, who lived
near Greenville in this county, was found ly
ing in small stream that flows from spring
near his residence He was a cooper by trade,
and seventy five years of age. For some time
past he had been in bad health, and seemed at
times greatly depressed from fear of becoming
a burden upon his children, and talked OF
shooting himself The testimony at the coro-
ner's inquest showed that he died from the eff
fects of four ounces of laudanum, taken for the
purpose of destroying his life.
The empty phials were found hidden under
the steps of the house.
He seems to have calmly made up his mind
to take his life, for about two months ago he
made himself pine coffin, and on the day pre-
vious to his death went to Middlebrook, and,
after paying his taxes, remarked, This settles
up my business"

should be done we cannot urge more fully and
earnestly than we have already done In repeat
ed articles. Butin doing this, let the assurance
be given In the most solemn and irrevocable
terms that the administration of Gov. Mich
oils shall not be disturbed but shall be
allowed to serve out the term for which 1t
was elected. Then, SO an earnest OF the de-
termination OF the Democratic party to faith
fully keep every pledge 1t hos made In the
past, the convention should re-atiirm the
tinaity and binding effect of the funding act,
and of the constitutional amendment relative
to the State debt, which was adopted by the
people at the general election Of 1874. This
done, the work of the convention will be COM
pete, and they will have given the party
and the people platform of principles which
can but secure an overwhelming victory for
the Democratic party.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1878-08-04
PUBLIC CREDIT.

There has been much apprehension through
out the country that the Baton Rouge conven-
ton would Id some way challenge the validity
Of the State debt, We have not shared these
apprehensions, because we know that the
convention will represent the Democracy Of
this State. and we know that the DEM
ocrats Of Louisiana are not reputation
lists. Leaving out OF the question oil
considerations OF public honor, the worst
policy the people Of this State could adopt
would be that Of reputation or readiust-
tnent. More perhaps than any other State In
the Union Louisiana needs the influx Of
capital Her merchants need credit; her
railroad and manufacturing projects require
foreign aid; her farmers and planters want
the assistance Of capital. How Is she
10 secure for these classes of her people the
credit and money they want2 By preserving
uns,illied her faith with her creditors. How
would she repel the aid OF capitalist In the
East and In Europe2 By attempting to re-
pudlate the debt her people In q general cleo
ton solemnly recognized.
A recent dispatch from London shows the
effect Of public fait upon the material inter
ests Of country. i ench bonds and French
credit stand higher, perhaps, than those Of
any other nation, and the reason Is explained
In this London dispatch which reads as fol
lows:
LONDON, July 60 Bankers say that the
oil ference In favor Of French bonds Is owing
30 the traditional honesty and good faith Of
the French people IN preserving their national
integrity and credit. Among them, a word
uttered against the national faith Is consid-
cred worse than conspiracy Of treason: con
seuuently, In times Of revolution even, when
without recognized government, France has
always been able to borrow money at reason
able rates. and at all times maintain q high
credit in all the markets In the world.
Every farmer, planter, merchant and me
chanic In Louisiana Is interested In the pre-
servation of the public faith, because private
credit Is identified with public credit, and Il
the two be stricken down, the progress Of the
city and State will be set back at least ter
years. We think, therefore, the Democratic
Convention should set at rest all apprehen
sions on that score by fully and unequivooalls
recognizing the validity of the funding act.

to those OF Northern and Western Texas.
There Ia no community Of feeling or Identify
Of interest between these two sections"
There ID little doubt that this proposition OF
the Herald will find many supporters, and
that the great Texan question Of the future
will be the division Of that State. The Herald
thinks that Western Texas will join with
Northern Texas In this scheme, and that their
combined strength will be sufficient TO accom-
plish this division, TO which 1t has pledged It's
aid and support.
II this movement Is as earnest and strong
as the Herald considers 1t, 1t must prove sue
cessful In the end, just as Kentucky and
West Virginia succeeded In tearing them
selves away from Virginia, and as Vermont
freed herself from New York. Whenever
these principles Of dlsaifectlon begin LII any
section Of State, and movement for separ-
alton is inaugurated. one can safely prophecy
D successful secession and separation.
