Benefits CT Paying Bonds
in Greenbacks

IN dreenDaCkS
The question Of calling in the
government bonds not express
~ stipulated to be paid III coin
and redeeming them il green
backs,is the question Of absorb
ing interest in TIE West anil
South just now, and there is no
doubt that it will, in common,
with other measures Of financial
reform and relief to 10 the mass
es, exert a powerful influence
inthe coming Congressionalelec-
tions, as well as in the Presi-
Dental campaign in 1880. The
great benefits which such n
movement would ensure to the
people are so apparent that their.
importance cannot be ignored.
These benefits may be briefly
summed up as follows:
1t is stated that the value OF
these bonds amount in round
numbers TO about $600,OO0,0OO.
At this time. by virtue of Rad
ical legislation for the be.lefit
of the bondholder, said bonds
are not only not taxed, but they
draw an interest Of six per cent.
in coin or its equivalent. There
fore the sum of about $36,000,-
10000 per annum TO pay that
interest has to be extracted
from the pockets of the masses
of the population. Were the
bonds called in and non-inter-
est bearing .greenbacks issued
IN their stead, this enormous
strain upon the pockets and re-
sources Of the people would i'm
mediately cease and relief to
that extent be at once conferred.
No wonder in view of this man.
ifest fact, the tax paying mass
cs arc clamorous for the origi-
nal contract TO be carried ont,
when, by a simple compliance
with it, their burdens would be
so materially lightened without
the slightest breach of faith to-
wards the holders Of the bonds.
But great as would be this ben
eft to the people, it is by no
means the greatest which would
follow the adoption of the
measure under consideration.
The organs of the money
power, in discussing the mat
ter, want to know how the i'm
mense sum Of money to be IS
sued to the bondholder by the
government, if this measure
were carried ont, would reach
the people and pass into gcner-
al circulation. This is q very
simple question easily answered.
As soon as the change is made
and the bonds called in, while
the greenbavks would be intrin-
sically just as valuable as the
bonds, being established on the
same basc--thc faith and credit
Of the countryside holders
thereof in lieu Of bonds would
have on hand large sum of
money bringing them no in
come at all Of itself. They woal,l
therefore naturally cndeavor to
make their means productive.
As a result, instead Of being
to sit back in their ca
y chairs and clip coupons,
while they permit the great
1ulk of their wealth to be locked
Up in bonds, and withheld from
lctiye and healthy circulation,
hey would look around for op-
of investment. Thus
industry and enterprise would
revive. Manulacto-
les would be established, en-
erprise of all kinds promising
like profitable return
you'd be started, employment
would be furnished to thousands
low idle; as all branches of bu-
iness are to great extent de-
'endent one on the other,a most
impetus would be given
o trade generally.
Not Funny.

"All right"
"IIold up your hands y

"You do, ch 2"
eyes. Make haste"
This edifying conversation
took place about mile from
Caen, in Normandy, about noon
day, on the 4th of May, 1857,
between a French Constable and
a rough-looking man Of about
forty.
Instead of obeying the Cons
table the man dealt him power
full blow in the face, which fell
ed him to the ground. The
Constable had lost conscious
ness, and his assailant quickly
rifled his pockets. When his
victim began to stir again, the
rough-looking man beat him
with his fist on the breast and
abdomen until The Constable
had expired.
"Hal ha !" the murderer
laugh e d scornfully. "There
you are now, Monsieur Lelan-
! gle, Constable OF the ancient
city of Caen, l, Jaques Brossier,
the
NOTORIOUS THIEF AND HIGH
WAY ROBBER,
Have dispatched you in so clev-
er manner that the dull and
stupid surgeons Of Caen will
never be able TO find out how
you have been killed. But, if
anybody had reason to hate
you, it was /. Forty times and
oflcncr you have taken me to
the lock-up. You know all a.
bout me. Now You will not
trouble me- any more. You
thought | was the murderer of
Lccairne, the usurer Of Averan-
ches, bat you were mistaken.
| had no hand in that job. Let
us see what you have left in
your pockets"
lie thoroughly searched The
clothes of the corpse. he found
in the large inside-pocket Of the
Constable's vest II seated pack
age. When he opened it he
saw 10 his delight that it con-
tanned two costly gold watches,
a very heavy gold chain, and
three diamond rings.
"IIallo," said Brossier 10 HIM
self, "this is a small fortunel /
"Well, / go rs fast as ! can to
the south Of FIancc-thcrc is |
money enough in this dog 5 !
purse to take me there. In
MarseilleS there are always YES
sells ready to sail for foreign !
ports. These papers you shall
keep, my dead dog. Your pis-
tol / will take with me. l see
you wear new boots. Mine are
full of holes. Let rs swop ?"
lie pulled of the dead Con-
stables boots and put them on
his own feet. Then, with an
other scornfuI laugh, he gave
his victim another contemptu-
ous kick, and hurried away.
An hour later some peasants
found Lelangle's corpse.
They did not dare touch it,
but hastcned with the dismal
news TO the Office of the Police
Project of Caen, who imme- |
diatcly repaired to the scene of |
the murder.
The condition Of the corpse
was calculcated to puzzle the
authorities. No outward marks !
of violence were found upon the !
remains.
But that Lelangle had been
robbed was certain. The Chief
of Police knew that the Consta-
BILE had always had a loaded
pistol in his pocket. His purse
was gone, too, and SO were the
gold watches and diamond rings
which had been found on the
person of a notorious thief then
incarcerated in the Caen Jail,
and the owner Of which the
Constable had been instructed
to ascertain.
And, then, the shockingly
torn boots on the feet of the
Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1878-11-21
Lclangle's remains were ia

result of the dissection added to
the mystery in which
THE HEINoUS CRIME
Was shrouded, for the surgeon
declared that they had been un-
able to find in the corpse any
thing pointing to a violent cause
of Lelangle's death.
The murder created a pointed
sensation throughout Northern
France.
The Paris papers devoted a
good deal of their space to a dis
cussion Of the affair. Every
body rejected the theory of a
natural death, and the Minister
of Justice, owing to the pres
sure ofpublic opinion, sent sew
eral experienced detectives to
Caen IN order to unravel the
great secret.
But they returned to Paris
without having accomplished
anything.
AS a last resort the Minister
Of Justice caused a large pla-
card to be printed and to be
consrlcuously posted in every
commune of France.
This placard contained a mi
mute description of the articles
that had been taken from Lee
langle, even the name of the
shoemaker, which was printed
on the inside of Lclangie's S miss
ing boots, was mentioned.
a reward of 1000 francs
was offered for the apprehen-
sion of the unknown thief, who
was strongly suspected Of being
THE CoNsTABLE's MURDERER.
Brossicr had, meanwhile,
Marseilles. There had
been nearly three hundred francs
in Lelangle's purse, which en-
ab,ed him TO buy fashionable
clothes, and he was about to
take passage for Barcelona on
HE regular packet-boat when he
was taken sick at the Hotel
!e. FOrient. He remained con-
fined 10 his bed for two W els,
and when he recovered he said
TO the waiter that nurscd him:
"lIave my boots BACKED"
The waiter took them down
10 the porter of ;hc hotel.
Now, this porter was a great
'eader Of sensational stories.
He had cogarly peruscd the full
lccount5 that had beenpublishcd
lbout the Caen Mystery, and
knew as much about it as any
BODY.
When he took up one of Bros
,icr's boots he read on the in
'idc, printed on the red moroc-
% lining in golden letters, "Ar-
lauld Plessy, Bottlier, Caen."
Upon reading this the porter
Uttered cry of surprise.
"Why," be said TO himself,
That is the name Of the shoe
maker who made the boots of
h murdered Constable a I
Jacn."
He hurried TO the Office Of the
orefcct of Police, to whom he
communicated this discovery.
The Prefcct ordered Bros
ier's room at the Hotel de TO
lent to be searched.
When the watchcs and other
irticles mentioned in the pIa-
ard issued by the Minister of
Justice were found in the mur-
lerer's trunk, he was arrested
md sent in irons to Caen, where
lis arrival caused the most in
ense excitement.
The fact that there were
doubts as to the cause of Lelan-
sle's death was carefully with
leld from him. He was only
assured that the. evidence a.
sainst him was perfectly over
yheIming.
"They will send me to the
yuillotine," SAID Brossier to
limself. off / make a clear
breast of it, / will get off with
oenal servitude for life. / be-
ieve / will make a full confess
,ion.p
lie did so as soon as he was
brought before the Examining
Magistrate.
But he was mistaken after all,
or the Assize Court sentenced d
lim to death.
