WE want to say now, upon the eve
of resumption in specie payments,
that we never would have had it this
year nor the next, had it not been for
the passage of the silver bill. Two
months ago to-day the bill passed the
Senate, and on the 2sth of February
it was passed in the House, notwith-
standing the Presidents veto, and it
has been only about seven weeks the
law of the land. Immediately upon
its passage the confidence of men of
sense was wonderfully strengthened;
on all hands you would hear it re-
marked that now to resume soon
was possible, because the basis
of money had been wideaed by
adding to gold, silver. BY this act
the comparative value between specie
and property was put in the way of
returning to its old standard tlepre-
citation in values stopped, and shrewd
men said, wedonoa earnow, toinvest,
there is light ahead. Less than fifty
days have passed by since the bill be-
came law, and here we are where
we may safely and fearlessly say 1.-THE
way to resume is to resume"
1t seems to us that we never could
have reached this result without silver
reconciliation. The case is so clear
| to US that we cannot see how any in
telligent man can honestly deny it.
Had the Presidents veto been success
full and the bill defeated, there was no
power that could have prevented the
repeal Of the resumption act, and the
confusion at the Tower of Babel
was not even patching to
what would have followed. Every
body in this country would have been
at sea and the end no man could have
fOretOld. The fact was that resump-
ton, such resumption as some
demanded upon a gold basis alone,
was an impossibility, and to at
tempt it the stupidest folly.

The Okalona, (Miss.) Herald is a
Democratic paper. 1t makes an i'm
portant concession to this effect: The
southwestern counties in this state are
in bad fix. The report of the Grand
Jury says that in some instances it is
impossible to get men toappear before
the jury as witnesses for fear of some
personal injury being done to them.
In one instance, a witness, while on
his way to appear before jury, was
foully assassinated, and others have
been threatened. If such unprece-
dented outlawry is practiced much
longer in those counties, Kemper will
have to draw in her horns."
There are several states in the South
in which there is not, to-day, any lib
erty of opinion. In ante-bellum days
an abolitionist could not live in the
South. Then there existed laws of
the state which gave color and war
rant to a certain extent for intolerance
toward abolitionists. Now slavery is
wiped out and all people stand upon
perfect equality before the law and
yet the infringement and total abro-

in the South is even more general than

let this run while there is remedy
for it. The last legislature provided
the remedy and our Board are very

only thing the Board desired time tt

and how cheap these bonds could bt

time they will ascertain as we'll a
