A company of gentlemen was or
gained last Saturday, who purchas-
ed from the Bank in this place, the
Middleport Docks. Their names are
as follows: D. W. Polsley, John l..
Charles, Henry Fry, T. stribling, w.
B. Cable, John G. stortz, B. Gilmore,
j. j. Bright, John McCulloch, jr., b.
Franklin. We are glad the purchase
of the Docks has fallen into the hands
of these enterprising and reliable
gentlemen, because we know they
will push the works, and will EN-
ploy a large number of hands, and
besides all who work for them will
receive their pay in cash. We wish
the gentlemen success in their new
enterprise.

Some OF the American preachers
Of the past have delivered sermons
more startling than edifying, and
have condescended to singular tricks
to arrest and take the attention Of
the audience. Lorenzo Dow, one OF
these preachers, it is said, was on
his way to preach in South Carolina,
under large spruce tree, when he
overlook colored Lad who was
blowing long tin horn, and could
send forth a blast, with rise and
swell and cadence, which walked the
echoes of the distant hills. Calling
aside the blower, Dow said to him
"What's your name, sir? 7"
my name-Gabriel, sir" said
the brother in ebony.
"Well, Gabriel, you have been to
Church Hill?"
"Yes, massa, rs been dar many a
time"
"Do you remember q big spruce
tree on that hill?"
"Oh, yes, massa, I knows dat
pine"
"Did you know that Lorenzo Dow
had an appointment to preach under
that tree tomorrow
knows dat"
Well, Gabriel, I am Lorenzo
Dow, and if you'll take your horn
and 60 tomorrow morning, and
climb up into that pine tree and hide
yourself among the branches before
the people begin to gather. and wait
there tall ! call your name and then
blow such q blast with your hofu as
I heard you hlow . minute ago. III

FALLAcloUs REASONING.

The principal reason assigned by
Hayes for yetoing the silver bill is,
that the standard of value of the money
in which Government bonds are pay
able should not be changed without the
consent of both parties TO the contract.
This argument when applied to the re-
monetization of silver is faliacious. At
the time the bonds were issued silver
dollars were legal tender to any
amount for all debts, and in 1869 Con-
gress, under tina title of an Act to
strengthen the public credit, declared
that the bonds. which prior to that
time were payable in greenbacks.
should be paid in coin. In 1873 at the
instance of the boudholders, aud with
out the knowledge or consent of the
taxpayers of the county, who have to.
pay the public debt. bill was
struggled through Congress demonetiz-
ing silver and virtually making the
bonds, both principal and interest,
payable only in gold coin. The remon-
citation of silver. making it legal
tender as it was prior to 1878, when
the bonds were issued, defrauds neither
debtor nor creditor. aud caunot be
charged against the country as an act
OF bad faith, as it simply enables the
Government to pay the bonds in. gold
or silver at its option, according to the
strict letter of the law of 1869.

each fraction of one hundred, and one
for each county at large. According to
