"The government fiat gives value
to its money" say the greenbackers.
Is that really so? Now stick to it and
don't crawfish. The confederate states
of America put its fiat on its treasury
notes and compelled the southern
people to take them. But that didn't
give any stable value to the money !;
every body ads anced the price of ev-
erything until 1t took hundred dol
lars of confederate money to pay for
dinner at q country hotel. But,
doubtless our fiat money friends will
protest that the confederate govern
ment failed to establish itself, and
that that is the reason the confederate
fiat is not effective to-day in impart-
ing value to confederate scrip. 1.-THE
fiaters rest their case on this basis,
then they ought not to repudiate ii in
the next breath. But they will the
moment you call their attention to
the fact that the gold and silver coins
minted by the confederate govern
ment are worth as much to-day as ev-
er they were. The coins bore the
government fiat, and 90 did the pa.
per; now what makes the difference
in their present value? If it was the
fiat that impaired the value, why are
not the two kinds of money Of equal
worth to-day? II the death of the
confederscy destroyed the fiat power
OF the paper money, and thus made il
worthless, why did not the collapse
Of the confederate government rem.
der worthless the coins of the same
fiat power2 The answer is obvious
Intrinsic g0lue.

THE CoYKENDALL DEFALCATIoN.--
The investigation of this matter fails
to detract any from its dark side.
For some months past Mr.. CO re-
to the general Office at Keo-
kuk has been irregular and dilatory,
and the Treasurer had on several oc-
casions urged him to more prompt.
ness. Last week the day for the
passed without any being
received. The Treasurer then wrote
to Mr.. Coykendall to send them. Not
receiving any reply, he telegraphed
to him Saturday afternoon. That
afternoon Mr.. Coykendall replied
that there was no express Saturday
night, but that he would send the
money Monday. When Monday ar.
rived the Treasurer received-not the
money, but request that Mr.. G.
might come to KeOkuk to see him.
This aroused the Treasurer's suspi.
cions, and an order was sent to Mr.
Whitney to take possession of the
Office. 1t is not probable that the
amount of the defalcation will exceed
three thousand dollars.
Mr.. Coykendall intimates to the
railroad officials that he was robbed
several years ago, of package OF
railroad money, amounting to $500
that he kept the matter secret and at
tempted to repay the loss, which
caused the embarrassment that Leo
to his defalcation.-State Register.

The account of q dramatic suicide
OF barber at Capron, Illinois. print
ed in tho Chicago Times and tele-
graphed all over the country, it now
transpires, was merely an ingenious
bit of imaginative journalism. No
such event took place at Capron or
anywhere else. For downright, ma
licious lying, the Chicago Times, as a
newspaper, can take the palm. The
reader has no assurance whatever
that what he reads in that paper has
the semblance of truth in it.

A Railroad Depot.

For several years past this paper,
n its local columns, has pitched
enough fun at the railroad depot in
this city to build a moderate depot at
the rate of ten cents line. Fun is
we'll enough and the subject is rich
one in this article. But it lisa stub
born fact that the wants Of Ottumwa
and the railroad companies them
SELVES, and especially the travelling
public, for good depot convenient
ly located are pressing, very press
ing. We do not pretend to know all,
or indeed, positively, any of the rea-
sons why these wants are not met.
We have heard passing rumors upon
the subject, kind of general town
talk, but we have never heard any
thing officially. 1t is wonderful,
however, that city of our import
ance, of from ten to,twelve thousand
people, possessing railroad facilities
not excelled, certainly, by any other
in the State, a city of prominent COM
mercial importance, a live, thriving,
and rapidly growing city; we say it
is wonderful and is a matter of con-
slant inquiry by everybody, why OF
tumwa is SO very poorly supplied in
regard to depots.
We have understood from general
report that the main difficulty has al
ways beer, the inability Of the various
roads to agree upon any basis of
erecting common or union depot.
In city like this, with its certain ex-
tended growth, it is probably the
clear opinion of the railroad compa-
MES, that when proper depot facili-
ties are constructed they should be
made upon the union depot plan. in
which the various railroads should
unite Such theory necessarily in
wolves good deal OF negotiation and
all the difficulties Of agreeing upon
terms, as we'll as the determining of
what may be tho necessities in this
regard in the future in city promis-
ing so much of growth as ours
does. In smaller towns and cities
these things we have mentioned, do
not exist to provoke delay in con-
structing depots. We, therefore, in
a candid consideration of the subject,
take into account all these difficulties.
Still we do think the time lie at
hand when there is urgent necessity
for our railroad magnstes to give this
matter earnest attention. The large
business done by them here, the
great want of rapid, convenient and
safe transfer of passengers to and
from the various roads and the COM
fort of the swarms of passengers dali
ly passing through this city, to say
nothing of the comfort and conven-
fence of SO large population as we
have, demands action at certainly no
distant day. Besides this, the ground
in convenient place and good situ-
alton, will in the few years to come
be certainly on the rise and hence a
proper economy demands that some
thing be done soon. Surely the
railroad interests centering here can.
not much longer afford to let this sub.
Iject sleep, and we take this opportu-
nifty to earnestly call their attention

Inc state HegsSter says: "FOr sew
eral days past Col. NJ. L. V. Bowman,
General Agent for the Washington
Life Insurance Company, has been
investigating the accounts of his book
keeper, John r. Peed. He found
number Of Irregularities which finally
eliminated in the knowledge that the
book keeper was a defaulter for a
considerable amount. The exact
amount is not vet determined, as the
examination SO far is incomplete, but
it will aggregate to several hundred
dollars.
This defalcation is an equal surprise
with the one published yesterday.
Mr.. Peed was for many years chief
clerk in the Pension Agency in this
city, where he had control of large
sums of money, for all of which he
faithfully accounted. Since then he
has been book-keeper and paymaster
for some of our largest firms, but un-
til this transaction his integrity was
