Gen. Grant has set foot again upon

Gen. Grant has set foot again upon
his "native heath" after his long So
journ in foreign lands. The msgnif-
cent and imposing ceremonial OF one OF
those old Roman triumphs which were
accorded to the general who had gained
some decisive victory cannot compare
With the colossal welcome which is be-
ing given by the people of the Golden
State to the great ex-President. Last
Saturday when the City of Toxic which
was bearing the Gene al and his suite
toward the Golden Gate, was still thirty
miles out at sea, tbs news was flashed
across the continent, and millions OF
people scanned every item of the DIS
patches relating to the approach Of the
greatest of living Americans. As the
the steamer entered the harbor at San
Francisco every eminence looking to
the seaward was black with assembled
thousands. 1t is said that Telegraph
Hill was q mass of human bodies. And
from the time that the General left the
vessel until bis arrival at his hotel,
there was such waving OF hats
and handkerchiefs, such a shouting from
thousands of throats, such flying Of
flags, display Of bunting, decoration OF
streets, illumination of houses, booming
of guns and anvils, blazing Of bonfires,
glare of rockets, fire balls, Roman
candles and electric lights; screaching
of steam whistles, clangor of bells and
blare of bands, as has seldom been seen
or heard before. And from all these
demonstrations the General must be
satisfied that he has even warmer place
in thehearts of the people than when he
returned from his brilliant campaigns in
tho eouth. The ovation at San Fran |
cisco is but the commencement OF that
continuous one which will greet k.m
across our great continent, and which
will have for its final act his election TO
the Presidency.

Not because we do not think the
LEDGER is worth $500 per year in
advance if it is worth a cent, not but
what we are going to make the

our contemporary by under bidding

AMENDMENTS
To the Act Repeating the re
SUMPTION Act.

The banking and currency COM
mittee of the House have authorized
Gen. Ewing to propose the following
amendments to the bill now pending
for the repeal of the Resumption Act.
Provided,
1st. That the money hereafter re-
ceivei from any sale of bonds of the
United States shall be applied Only to
the redemption of other bonds bear
ing the highest rate of interest, and
subject to call.
I'd And provided, further, that
whenever from time to time the pro-
ceeds of sales of bonds shall aggre-
gate So, 600, 900, the Secretary of the
Treasury shall issue a call for that
amount of bonds to be redeemed, and
the interest on bonds called for re-
demption shall cease in thirty days
from the date of such call.
Sd. And provided, further, that
all United States notes received into
the Treasury shall be re-issued and
kept in circulation, without change,
in the aggregate amount of the several
denominations existing on the 3lst
day May, 1878, and it shall not be
lawful to issue legal-tender notes of a
larger denomination than $1,000.
The propriety and necessity of in
sisting on the adoption of the prin-
ciples embodied in the foregoing pro-
visions, in the event of the Resump-
ton Act being repealed, are too
obvious to require either comment or
argument to sustain them.
The first is designed to prevent sale
Of more bonds to increase the emount
of gold in the Treasury. The Sec
ond will etrectually put a stop to the
double interest gains of pet banks,
and the third will arrest curtalsment
of the circulation of greenbaeks by
preventing the changing of them into
denominations too large for such use.
Valuable, however, as such adjuncts
to the proposed repeal of the Re-
sumption Act will necessarily prove
themselves to be, If adopted. They
seem to be quite as essential in the
event of that act remaining undis-
turbed.
OF course, in that category, these
provisions would be objected to as
curtailing the power of the Secretary
to ~replenish his coin balance if it
should be lessened, and preventing
him from either holding on to re-
deemed grecnbacks, or so changing
their amounts as to lessen the chance
OF their circulation and Representa-
ton for redemption. 1t should be
remembered, however, that these are
exactly what the Secretary is doing
and that by the course he is pursuing
ne is maintaining specie payment by
increasing the Understanding debt,
and diminishing the circulation,
neither of which is desirable. These
provisions were sustained by the fol
lowing vote: Yeas-Messrs Buckner,
Ewing, Yates, H~ardenburg, Eamcr,
Bell and Hart. Absent -Mcssrs
Chittenden and Phillips.

ses of erecting buildings and fitting
them up.
More recently the attempt has been
made to employ convicts IN those
trades which derive least assistance
from machinery. So far as the State
is concerned the evenue derived
from such use of them has been the
most remunerative, but at the same
time it has proved most damaging to
industrial integrity.
The only just solution of this mat
ter is to divide the convicts among
the counties and put them ct work
on public highways and buildings.
The English get rid of the expense
and care of c~onvicts by sending them
