NEW YORK, Oct. llth, 1873
T"ihe Editor of the Free Press and Times.
The recent changes in public opinion, the
renewed confidence in business circles. and tho
vigorous courage of the better classes Of both
the Democratic and Republican parties, in
duces me to make few observations and
state few facts.
Those who have hoped for or feared any
important results from the Grecnback heresy
and the fiat money craze, may both rest
assured that hereafter a man who owes
a dollar or has due him dollar, viii get Il
dollar that is good, the world over for what
it claims to be, and worth its face in gold.
Honest money Democrats here, as well a.
Republicans, arc set like the hills for this
result, and wherever you find an honest,
trustworthy Democrat in New York,
you find hard money man. The
dividing line hereafter will hc between
honest money, good the world over, or the
fat paper kiue OF the politician. The IN
tluencc of the commercial and financial
centre Of the United States being alaaSt
solid for honest money, will have its full
effect on the struggle now going on, and is
worth hundred thousand million dollars
IN goll to the commercial and agricultural
interests oi the country.
never Saw New York whcn the conf
dcnce in the future prosperity Of our country
was 50 great, anl 1t comes now, mainly from
the crushing verdict Of the West against
specious quack remedy for hard times, given
to kill the patient after IA lew spa.modic
kicks Of renewed life
Democrats and Republicans alike share tins
confidence, and believe the time has come
when strong old party lines will snap like
thread and all honest men jbin in keeping
the faith that has given the nation the high
est commercial and financial credit oGany
nation on the lace of the earth TRAxts.

MONTPELIER. Oct. 10, 1873

To the Editor OF tho Free Press and Times
The Legislature has already cut out for
itself much important work. Not much
will be done with it, however. until after
the Senatorial election. The committees
have too much logrOliins on their hands to
look into the bills referred to them and to
make reports, although they are a. indus
trious as they might naturally be expected
to be-
The bill "to appoint referees and pre-.
vide for the payment of their fees and ex-
penses" provides a remedy for the utterly
absurd practice Of paying high wages to
judges. juries, clerks, depu;ies and short.
hand reporters in order to adjust quar-
rels which. in this STATE, are Of
very small peeuniary importance. In some
of our counties the yerdicts OF whole term
will not sum up to the expense IL the State
OF a single days session, not counting
lawyer fees and the personal expenses of
clients and witnesses. The system of jury
trial in small civil Causes, il great NUS
snee and is unsatisfactory TO every body who
has anything to do with it.
