county in the Ohio Legislature. He
was cripple, having been crippled
while doing duty in the Federal army
during the late conflict between the
North and South. To all appearances
his fame was fair; but since the Leg
islature convened he has been hunted
down by Republican members, who
charge that in early lite he was an in
mate of a western penitentiary, and
Republican parlisans are lifting up
their eyes and hands in an affecfation
of holy horror that man who was All
inmate of the penitentiary should hold
seat in legislative body.
They will please remember that Col,
Wm. III. Gibson, of Tiflin, was con-

having been guilty of EN- mbezziing mon

keep right along bowling about "Rev-
olution" and "MeXicanization" all the
same, hoping to gain some political
advantage by frightening the people
out of their senses. The trouble is
they are afraid that an investigation

there any probability that the late act

Resumption Re peal Bill Defeated,
but Greenback Gains Another
Victory.
jincirnati Enquirer. June II.

| Cincirnati Enquirer. June II.
| Another triumph is recorded for the
greenback. The Senate yesterday
passed the bill which was agreed on
by the Senate Finance Committee as a
substitute for the House Resumption
Repeal Bill making greenbacks receiv-
able in payment of four per cent.
bonds at once, and receivable for Gus
toms duties Oh and after the first day
of October next. These are measures
to appreciate the greenback. 1t is al
ready the law of the land that three
hundred and fifty millions of green
lack dollars are here to stay. There
can be no contraction of them. AS
rapidly as they get into the Treasury
they must be reissued or paid out. To
make the greenback receivable for
four per cent. bonds, therefore, is one
of the methods of funding the debt at
4 lower rate of interest, and as the
greenbacks thus coaXed in must
promptly go out, an advantage is
gained with no loss. The other clc-
ment in the bill passed yesterday is
more important and more fundamental
to the students of the money question
1t is a recognition Of the fact which the
law has not recognized since the green
back was born that the Government
should not discredit or dishOnor its
own money. 1t should not repudiate
il ii ii would haye commerce respect
it. We believe that it is part of the
history of North Carolina, that paper
issues in that State, when similar pa
per issues i'll all, or nearly all, other
States were i'll mOurnful disrepute,
continued to circulate at par, or there
ovth
that the State would receive them for
taxes. The finance of France, during
aud after her late great trial was built |
on that idea, and "irredeemable" pa
per money in abundance clothed |
France with prosperity, though war
had poured adversely on her, because |
France said that she would take this |
money for all dues to her, and that il !
should be legal tender to every man
in France. Two things are now set
tied (for the House will pass this SEN
ate bilD-the greenback is here to
stay, and the Government that issues
it will itself honor it. These are great
gains. 1t is singular that Republi.-
can Senate should pass this measure
only the day after the Ohio Republi
cans had declared that the entire finan-
cial question was settled and that "any
further agitation of the question would
be injurious to business and devoid OF
other than evil results"
The Senate should have passed the
House bill repeating the Resumption
Act. Senator Voorhees, offered that
bill as substitute for the one passed,
and it was lost by only three votes
to thirty-two. Even that
vote was victory for the minority.
It exceeded the expectations. The
greenhack is making propress. 1t is
planted securely in this country. 1t
Is about to be treated with entire re-
,pect by both the Government and the
people.

THE Radical papers and leaders are
trying to draw little consolation from
the testimony of Judge Levissee be-
fore the Potter Committee, claiming
that he swOre that an attempt was
made by the Democrats TO bribe him
for $4,000 to vote for Tilden. They
forgot to mention the fact that the
Judge was forced to admit that the at
tempt to bribe him was made in the
interest of a New Orleans gambler,
named Hernandez, who, with his
friends, had large amounts of money
staked upon the result of the election,
and that Levissee swore that this was
the secret Of the offer to bribe him.
These fellows forget to mention an
other important fact testified to by the
Judge, viz: That his name to the re-
turn, which the Electoral Commission
refused to go behind, was forgery.
The official records show that the first
returns from Louisiana were irregular,
and they were sent back for correction.
The names of all the electors appear
signed to the corrected paper, while
Judge Levissee swears that he was
absent from the State at the time, and
that his name to the paper is a forgery.
So it is shown that Mr.. Hayes holds
Office not only by frauds committed by
Anderson and in which he shows by
evidence, Sherman and
Matthews participated, but by sab
sequent forgery which it was found
necessary to perpetrate in order to Sc
cure the plumber. And yet the men
who claim that title obtained by such
means is perfectly good and unassail.
able, have the audacity to charge the
Democrats with an attempt to bribe
Levissee.
