A GOVERNMENT PAPER. - Sometimes we

Of yearly and semi-annual subscribers. These

An action has been commenced in the
U. s. District Court, at the instance of
Gov. Anthony, to compel Maj. Henning,
a. receiver of the L., L. & G.. Railroad,
to repair the bridge across the Kaw
river at Lawrence, and resume the rum
ming of regular trains into Leaven-
worth, as it Is claimed the charter of the
road requires. We presume that such
an arrangement would be some little
advantage to the city of Leavenworth,
but as these trains while they were in ope-
ration, did not pay anything, it seems
like imposing hardship to compel the
rood to resume them. One thing, how
ever, we think the travelling public and
shippers have right to demand, and it
would not tax the railroad company very
heavily. The bridge should be repaired
Especially as the cost would not be great
and then close connection, without trans.
fer, should be made by all passenger and
freight trains with the trains ON the
LeavenwOrth branch of the Kansas Pa
cific Railroad. This would not be a
great expense to the roads, and so far as
we can see, would accommodate the
public about as well rs to run an extra
train over about thirty miles of road to
carry half dozen passengers, or few
tons of freight.

SENATOR BLAINE on SILVER.

We give below an extract from the
telegraphic report of the speech of Hon.
Jas. G. Blaine in the Senate on the sill
yer bill. 1t will be seen that the honor
able gentleman is in favor of the remon-
citation of silver, but does not favor
the Bland bill. For an Eastern man,
however, this is good deal. The ex-
tract is as follows:
Gold and silver coin are the money of
the constitution. The organic law con-
ferred no power on Congress to declare
that either should not be money. Con-
gress, therefore, has no power to demon
etize silver any more than gold, or than
it has to demonetize both; If, therefore,
silver has been demonetized he is in ia.
vor of remonetizing it. If its coinage
has been prohibited, he is in favor of
ordering it to be resumed if it has been
restricted he is in favor of having it en-
larged. Congress has exclusive power to
coin gold and silver, and regulate their
value. If Germany should remonetize
silver and the States of the Latin Union
reopen their minis, silver would resume
its former relation with gold. He be-
lieves the European countries will be
driven to full reconciliation, then
they must of necessity adopt their old
rates of 153 of silver to / Of gold, and
then we shall be compelled to adopt
some other ratio than our former of Is

our silver, which will seek the highest
market out. The difficult problem il,
how to re-establish silver without the
co operation of European powers, and as
an advance movement to them into the
same policy. If we coin . silver dollar

"The scope and character of the maya
zine shall be that of a firstclass religious
aud literary monthly, of the highest
character attsinsble, and pervaded,
whether in its general or religious arti.
cles, by a thoroughly Christian spirit"
Order Of the Committee.
Under these directions it will be de-
voted to general and religious literature,
biographies and travels, criticism and
art. A sufficient number of the best
Ariters for the press are employed to
furnish all the variety in the several
departments which their scope and i'm
portance requi 3 to make them rich and
instructive.
The editorial department will be a
feature of the Magazine. Rev. DR..
Curry, both experienced and successful
as an editor, brings to his duties the
purpose of giving his whole strength to
the work before him.
Each number will contain one or more
articles illustrated with wood engravings
in the best style of this art, adding
beauty and value to the pages.
The twelve numbers for the year will
contain 1,152 pages of reading-matter,
which, published in book form, would
make not less than fifteen volumes,
worth $3.50 each, and will comprise q
variety that will be more interesting
and valuable to the generol reader than
could be procured in books for many
times the yearly price of the magazine,
We earnestly request you to take the
National Reportory for 1S7S-to give
it one years trial, and thereby determ-
inc for yourselves whether it is worthy
of place in the Christian home.
