some Errors Considered.
BY A. EARTHMAN.

The reputation for honesty, on the
part of the government, is at stake,
then, both in the coinage of metal and
in the issue of bills of credit AS long
as the government is honest, its coin
will pass among civilized nations for
the amount indicated by the stamp
upon it, and it's credit will be good; /.
e., it will always be able to obtain
money in case of necessity, at a low
rate of interest. But, let the govern
ment stamp lone Dollar upon piece
of metal whose intrinsic value is only
ninety cents, it at once loses its repu-
tation for honesty in the eyes of the
civilized world. Or let it borrow mon
ey, by issuing bonds or other bills OF
credit, with the intention to never re-
deem such Indebtedness, or redeem 1t
by the payment of coin which bears
the stamp of dishonesty upon its face,
it will find, what other nations have
already found, that an enormous rate
of interest will be asked whenever
money is to be borrowed. Govern
ments are no better in commercial
and financial transactions than indl-
viduals. The retail merchant falls
and settles with his creditors at
TWENTY-FIVE cents on dollar. He thus
clears himself of his Indebtedness and
re-establishes himself in business.
But the moment he goes to the whole
sale merchant for more goods, he is
politely told that he must pay cash
in other words, that his former mode
of settlement does not entitle him
to any further credit.
The government, however, has this
advantage over the individual: 1t can
make a forced loan, such as it did
make when il issued greenbacks; but
| that does not change matters any IN
the ewes of other nations. The credit
of CT. Britain, second to that of no
othernation, rests upon the fact that
every holder of a pound-note knows
that the British government is ready,
at any time, to redeem that note at its
full value, and that the very idea of
paving off its creditors in deprecated
coin, is treated with the contempt and
scorn it deserves.
Our bonds, our greenbacks, our coin,
will be honored Just so long as our
government is honest in it's transac'
lions: remove the honesty. and the
floodgates of distress and ruin are
opened.

some further time in various amuse-
ments, the company dispersed with
many expressions of regret that Mr..
Kellogg and his daughter were so soon
to leave us.

There is a hitch in legal minds n
 Southern New Mexico as to whether or not a legislature can insert in an act of incorporation of a city a clause licensing gambling, and make t stick.
 If the legislature has the power to make gambling 8 penal offence, t certainly has the power to repeal it.
 Grant county grand juries, where licenses have recently taken the place of indictments. have more than once put themselves upon the record in op- position to bull ringing persons who play cards where spiritgous liquors are sold and allow others equally guilty unde4 the law to gam a.e elsewhere aul go scott free. This opposition Was first manifested a the December tern l8s5.
 This tact wiil be remembered by citizens of Grant for the reason that che Judge It Il subsequent term in his charge to the grand jury arraigned former memb0rs For rendering lame excuse-~as he Asss pleased to term it flor not investigating the infraction of the gaming Iaws and which re- hection upon the ex-members of that jury was noticed by them as not strictly ie accordance with truth, which was published in the January 30th, 1870 number of the Grant County Herald.
 It will also be remembered that at the December term 1876 of District Court for Grant Coaaty-sf our memory serves usthe grand jury refused to indict for infracaons of the gaupg laN and n ther report recommended that the legislature li- eense gaming. Those curious in such matters can by reference to His His Exoeneney Gov. AxtelPs mes sage to the legislature understand from his figures relative to the dis position of the revenue which he sad was principally absorbed in paying court expenses why the grand jury recommended hcensing gambling in- stead of taxing the county and vast ing the time of the court in inYesti- gaung such violations of law.

 Too L fE.-Professag Ssoekman has said that Agent Hart had orders from the Indian department to noe- fy the Hannibal Mining company not to put up their pumping and hoisting machinery until the line defining tho western limits of the Indian reserya- tion was definitely determined by ae- rual survey. and that # the town of McMillenviIle should De foand to be within the limits of the reservation the citizens thereof will also be obliged to abandon their possessions. The enforcement of such an order to the deHiment of the citizens will prove breeder of trouble. We do not believe that, when the Govern nent is advised of the great value of this property and the hardship 1t will work to citizens if adhered to, 1t will insist on it's fulfllment, but will cause ] deaection of mile in the line if necessary to accommodate itself to matters as they now stand.
 We have made inquiry m other quarters likely to be informed if such an order had been given, but have been unable to find any one who could confirm or deny It. So far the reply has been, q don't know"
 Since the foregoing was put in type we have had information from the agency which greatly modiies the first report 'Tis true that the agent Eas directed to remove Hespassers from the reservation. So far the agent has not seen proper to inter- fere with those having valuable min ing claims supposed to De within tbe preiccibs limits and near the line.
