from the wars in the Holy Land. where he
had been soJourneying for a number of years,

several pages the Acknowledgement told him
to stop as he was satisfied. But the defence
insisted that as the veracitv of the witness
had been questioned he should be allowed TO go

gave chapter from the middle Of the story

The following anecdote of Caleb Gushing
appears in the Newburyport Herald: Some
years ago an unabridged dictionary was pub
lishcd. and copy sent to Mr.. Cushing. with
an intimation that favorable criticism would
be acceptable. CHANGING down the first page
one day Mr.. Cushing discovered few errors.
Turning over he found several others. Not
being especially occupied nj the time, he con
tinued his examination throughout the volume
and succeeded in detecting five thousand err
rors. He thereupon wrote TO the publishers
that he considered il asking too much of him
when they asked for a recommendation of a
work containing five thousand errors. This
somewhat riled them. and they reported the
fact to a prominent college president. who
was editorially connected with the work
This gentleman sent note of rmonstrance
to Mr.. Cushing, strongly limiting that he had
exaggerated. Mr. Gushing Immediately went
to work at the beginning of the dictionary.
and copied two full quires of paper with the
errors of the work. and his authoric. which
he sent to the president, who was afterwards
satisfied to let matters drop as they were.

cases. however. they received promise that
if they would retract their former testimony
they would be allowed to return to their

on account Of the statements they had made
before the returning board. Lieut.. Martin
further says that he was instructed when he
summoned the witnesses to ascertain whether
they would give testimony of value to the
democrats and. in case it was found that they
would not, to report them to the committee as

The Senate Resolutions.


opposition in the House, whereby the re-
sumption resolutions of Mr.. Thomas of
the Senate were laid upon the table, has
necesstated movement all along the
democratic lines in attempted support of
the opposition to the resolves. The demo-
cratic organs were prompt to see that their
friends in the legislature were in a dilem-
ma and needed help, but the kind of help
they have rendered is of very doubtful
kind, to say the least.
The New York World came to the res
cue in long article iustifying opposition to
the resolutions because in the process of re-
sumption the greenbacks are not retired and
national bank bills substituted instead.
The editor exctedly inquiries, "Will Maine
persist in demanding a system of Federal
currency, bottomed on Government debt
Is the national Treasury to be perpetual
competitor with the banks in the issue
and redemption of paper money!" But
the Maine democrat who is comforted in
his opposition to the Senate resolutions by
the anti-greenback editorial of the World,
is sent into bowling despair when he finds
that his favorte paper. the Portland Ar
gus, demands more greenbacks instead of
less, and the abolition of all bank bills.
The Argus speaks of three parties on the
currency, the third of which it says ia
vor the substitution of greenbacks for all
the bank bills 1t then adds: 1--WE be-
long to the latter class. We favor the
substitution of greenbacks for bank bills,
and so, in our opinion, do the great ma
!jority of the people," If our democratic
greenbackers in the House can from these
conflicting opinions of their leading or
gans find aid and comfort in their opposi-
ton to the resumption resolves, they can
perform feat as difficult as for a person
to ride two horses at the same time going
at full speed in opposite directions.
Looking at the columns of the National
Democrat we find that it is opposed to re-
sumption because the 'hated silver bill
and the reissue policy are agents in

The Tribune says: Democracy waits
for keynote from Thurman. Mean
while, Maine sees a democratic governor
elected by republican votes. 1t is quite
possible that the speech of Thurman and
the election of Garcelon, events of Janu-
ry, 1879, may clearly map out the coming
Presidential campaign, and foreshadow the
result in November, 1880. Stranger
things have happened than a union of
hard-money republicans and democrats to
resist final assault upon the public credit,
the national banking system, and the re-
striction of silver coinage.
