THERE is good deal of significance in
the resolution of Senator SAULsBURY,
which provides that the Secretary of the
Treasury, in redceming United States legal
tender notes, shall pay on the same ~ per
cent. Of the amount in gold and % per cent
in icgal-tCnder silver dollars. As the law
now stands we think it is at the option Of
the Government to pay in either as it may
elect. This being so-and the change is
contemplated for the purpose of securing II
share Of the amount in gold coin to the
holder Of lcgal-tcudcr notcs-it would be
just to the coin involved that no discrim-
nation should be made against either silver
or gold, but the resolution should be
amended so us to put gold and silver on an
equality as to the amount paid out. Half
and half should be the proportion if any
direction is 10 he given in the matter.

THE adjournment Of both houses of Con-
gress yesterday until next Monday shows
an indisposition on the part of the Demo-
cratic majority in the House to begin the
active work Of the session, although it is to
be n short session, and if anything is to he
accomplished in it there is no time 10 be
spared from straightforward hard work.
We say the Democratic majority in the
House, because the Senate, in the natural
course Of things, must wait upon the action
of the popular ~ branch of Congress be-
fore it proceeds TO business. This indispo-
sition is explained by the fact that the
Democrats are afraid TO begin business,
because they know that the consequent
discussion Of current political topics will
necessarily he TO their disadvantage. They
stand committed now, by the precipitate
action of FERNANDO WOOD last Monday,
to an attempt to defend the dissracerul and
horrible atrocities of the late campaign in
the South. And they are wasting the pub
lie time and public money in their end ,avor
to evade further discussion OF this issue.
National Republican., 1878-12-06

THE remarks of the President in his mes
sage the resolutions of inquiry introduced
by Mr. WOOD in the House and Mr.. FERRY
in the Senate, and the tayidity with which
paragraphs are taken up by the press all
point to the interest felt in the subject of
increasing our exports. The highway to
national wealth is seen to lead in great de-
gree through foreign markets Hitherto we
have been struggling with austerc cordi-
tions for self-support Necessity has begOt-
ten class of inventors who have won the
admiration Of the world for their ingenuity.
We have accumulated capital by saw
ing, and the point of equilibrium between
consumption and production is already
passed. We arc now ready to enter the
worlds markets in competition with Eng
land. We have the enterprise TO do II we
will do it; we are doing it now. American
goods are not only crowding British goods
out ofChina, Australia, New Zealand, South
crn Africa, and Canada, but our hardware,
cottons, and machinery are going in large
bulk to English home markets. As English
manufacturers are just feeling the pinch Of
hard times our own are beginning to see the
brightest dawn in their sky. Our latest
venture was into the South American field,
where the prospects seem very inviting.
There arc other markets to be explored us

which have enriched Great Britain, and are

were arrested to-day and waived examination

by pity for Baltlett. whose wife was very i'll

Gently returned from the parish of Calcasien,
IN AeSlen's district, Louisiana, represent the
actual facts about the depredations upon
government timber there as being more as
founding than anything thathas been publ h
ed. In one place there were sixteen saw
mills. whose sole occupation was the manu-
taeture OF lumber from logs cut from govern
ment reservations. One old timber man tes-
titled that parties had been engaged in cut
tug timber for fifty years. Very few mill
owners haye taken the trouble to enter or
purchase any timber lands, and depend ex
clusively upon logs stolen from the govern.
ment. The government agents were followed
everywhere by spies and thieves, were shot
at and both of them came back very much
imp aired in health on account of the climate.

payments in advance of the first Of January

natural causes or when the premium on
specie shall disappear; that we are now ar-
preaching the point; and that it is the duty Of
the government to employ all legitimate
means to procure such a result. The coin

idea the balance viii fall below the present

Making Money Day and Night.

All the energies and the full power Of
the Philadelphia mint are being brought
into play to supply the demand for the
Bland dollar. The machinery is being
taxed to5its fullest capacity, and the great
coming mills do not cease their labors
until near midnight, working atleast six
teen hours day. The treasury. depart
ment has apportioned to the mint in
Phliadelphia quota of some two mil
lions of the new dollar coins to fill. At
present the average coinage per day is
about $4,000 pieces, i'll addition to the
other work. The dollars are transported
to various treasures, and from thence
placed IN general circulation. Director
of the Mint Pollock said: "Our work is
very heavy, and as the force cannot bs
increased, or new machinery put in, we
are compelled to make long hours.
