would be saying that silver Is good enough
money for the taxpayer. but not good enough
for the holders OF the untaxed bonds. whose
original contract was to receive their pay in
greenbacks, but whose amended contracT, pro-
cured by legislation in 1869. specified. not gold.
but gold and silver coin.
The vital point in this matter Is: ~ whether
the country possessing the two precious metals
recognized by the world as the basis of none
whether the bondholder shall be held to his con-
tract or be permitted by underhand tricks to
change 1t at pleasure. A visitor from one Of
the planets would infer from the arguments of
the gold standard advocates that 1t is sought to
try silver as an experiment, whereas the silver
dollar was an unlimited legsl tender until
1874. whose object not twenty members of
Congress understood.

According to the st. Louis Republican OF the
latest date, there were 100000 bushels of grain
In the elevators of that city. and only one barge
there suitable to be loaded with bulk grain.
Some time since our st. Louis friends were.
seemingly laboring under the delusion that
there was not shipping enough at New Orleans
to carry off the grain they could send us. We
call their attention to the fact that at this time
we have at our levee % steamers. At ships. SO
banks. briggs and 10 large schooners. and
would inform them that the smallest OF these
vessels can carry away to Europe all the grain
that their solitary barge can bring down.

According to the Baltimore Sun. the Legisla-
ture OF Pennsylvania has passed bill making
1t penal offense on the part of any officers OF
corporate company or q trusti to make false
statements to the public. The penalty pre-
scribed is not to exceed $4,000 and fmprison-
ment In the county jail for a period OF not less
three months nor more than two years. This
is salutary legislation. and the punishment is
not greater than the crime deserves. 1t Is said
that complaint has been made In England that
American interpretations do not divulge their
condition as English companies are obliged to
do, and that these representations have had
such influence that there are vast corporations
In the United States who publish monthly. for
their European creditors and investors. In
formation for which their American constitu-
ents may call in vain under their very windows.

declaring them not personally liable for the re-

bills were not received in the regular course of
business as money. but were gotten by purchase
after specie payments had suspended and the
bills had gone out of circulation. was rendered
by the Supreme Court at Washington City last
week. The case was that of the Merchants
Bank OF South Carolina. the charter Of which
specified that all stockholders were personally
liable for bills issued twelve months before its
failure. The bank was ruined by the derange-
ment occasioned by the civil war, and soen after
the war began its bills ceased to circulate. This
decree in favor of the stockholders declares
that the wrongful act of the State In going into
rebellion shall not bind the banks stock
holders, when this liability was imposed to
maintain the States credit,
