NEW YORK, Jan. 90, 1879.-To

committee have not yet instituted
any suits 10 establish the lien of

purpose, and /, is sincerely hoped,

Gold at 2S5.
II N-vT- HOW'LL

-Thf premium On gold reached its
highest point in July, 1864, when
gold was rated one day at 2S5, max
ing 1he value of the greenback dol
lar only 81 cents. This was the
darkest period of national gloom,
the tremendous crisis when citizens
and the government itself came
nearest TO despaiFing of the republic.
In those dark days steam was kept
up on a government vessel in the
Washington Navy Yard, on which
the President and Cabinet would
have embarked with the public
archives on their way out of the
capitol. Lee, soTely pressed by
Grant at Pittsburg, had sent Early
around to Maryland, and iG was
owed to mere luck and accident
that Washington was not captured
and the government put to flight.
Grant had despatched the Sixth
corps of the army of Potomac to
Washington, and by fortunate CO.
incidence Gen. Emory, with the
Nineteenth corps, which had been
ordered from New Orleans after the
failure of the Red river expedition,
had Just arrived at Hampton's
Roads, and without disembarking
it was sent up the Potomac to follow
the Sixth. But even that timely
assistance would have proved una
vailing If Early had not quailed in
the very pinch of the crisis. On the
morning of the 11th Of July his van
was close upon the Notifications
covering the northern approach to
Washington, and in the afternoon
the Confederate infantry had come
up and was arrayed in front of Fort
Stevens. They were slightly de-
Tended, and Early might easily
have made dash into Washington
and the fight of the government
would have led TO the immediate
recognition of the COnfederacy by
France and England, and the war
for the Union would have been a
failure. On SO slender a thread
hung the destiny of great nation.
1t was i'm that trying time that gold
reached its highest price Of 2s5, and
the greenback dollar was only thir-
ty-five cents.

The Great Suit Against the Rail-
roads.
Benton Banner.

The message of Gov. Marks and
, the temper of the Legislature have
ut last, in regard to the bonded debt,
eliminated in suits against the rail-
roads in the State to the amount OF
about eighteen million of dollars.
we do not say that the action of the
Executive and Legislature had
forced such suits, but there can be
but little doubt that the efficient
cause of the suits at this time is ow-
ing 10 their action. And il will be
a matter of profound regret that the
courts at this particular juncture as
sumed Jurisdiction of the rights of
/ the State creditors. 1t would have
been far better for the honor and
credit Of the State, for her peace
and continuous prosperity, If the
bondholder could have had positive
assurances that the debt should be
favorably and equitably adjusted.
Failing to see any disposition on
the part OF the proper authority to
settle the debt, the bondholder, as
the last resort, is now seeking re-
dress at the hands of the court.
1t is not for US to dictate line of
policy for the guidance of the Leg
lslature, nor shall we pass judgment
upon the wisdom or impolicY of its
action in reference to our indebted
ness; we shall, however, venture
the opinion that if the Legislature
had evinced disposition 10 enter
tain the OVertures of the bOndhold- !
ers, these law suits could have been |
aVerted, and in the end, be il long
n
nave been harmoniously and satis-
factorily adjusted. These suits have
closed the channels of negotiation, |
and the debt, so far as the Le9isla- |
ture Is concerned, will hold its pres
ent status.
The result of this litigation can
only be conjectured i'm the end it /
may operate disastrOusly to the.
State. The railroad companies saw /
they have paid the State their in
debtedneSS in bonds of the State. If
the bOndhOlders should recover from
the railroad companies, if the debt
should prove legal, they will recover
the full amount of what is due them;
the railroad companies would then
have recourse upon the State for the
amount they pay the bondhOlders.
This would result in a substitution
of creditors. And if the bondhold-
ers should recover from the railroad
companies, however large the
amount, the companies would pre-
sent their claims against the State,
supported by judicial sentence; and
in thisevent, if the State feels bound
by a debt having the dignity of
Judgment, compromise would mean
repudiation.

THEY are having very distressing
times in England, but there does
not begin to be the suffering which
existed in 1S41, when Protection
was still clutching the throat OF the
poor man with its iron hand, ana
the PrOtectionistS were lighting Tor
the retention of their tax on bread.
Read what Macauley said OF that
period:
Have we forgotten what was the
condition of the working people in
that unhappy year? So visible was
the misery of the manufacturing
towns that a man of sensibility
could scarcely bear TO pass through
them. Everywhere he found filth
and nakedness, and plaintive voices.
and wasted forms, and haggard
faces. Politicians who had never
been thought alarmists began to
tremble to the very foundations OF
society. First the mills were put
on short time. Then they ceased to
work at all. Then went to pledge
the scanty property of the artisan
first his little luxuries, then his
comforts. then his necessaries. The
novels were stripped till they were
as bare as the wigwam of Il dog
ribbed Indian. Alone amid the
general misery, the shop with the
three golden balls prospered, and
was crammed from cellar to garret
with the clocks, and the tables, and
the kettles, and the blankets, and
the Bibles of the poor. / remember

Logan ana DOnelson.


Gen, John A. Logan, who was
elected to the United States Senate
by the Republicans of the Illinois
Legislature, was found severely
wounded on the battle-ground OF
Fort Donelson by our esteemed
Circuit Clerk, Capt. w. T.. Bell,
who, thinking him dead, took Off
his splendid sword and belt and
sent them to his family. Capt. Bell,
who was then a gallant Confederate
soldier, came upon Gen. Logan
stretched out upon the ground,
dressed in full regimentals, his arms
folded upon his breast, his arms
folded upon his breast, his oyes
closed and giving no sign of life.
While standing over, as he sup
posed, the dead body of the Federal
Colonel, Capt. Bell was Joined by
Capt. Madeira, of the Confederate
side, who recognized i'm Logan his
old schoOlmate. Madeira was deep
ly moved at what he thought the
untimely fate Of his youthful com
panion, and directed Capt. Bell
where to send the sword Of the fallen
chieftain. Logan was shot through
the lungs, and his life hung on a
thread for a long time. Madeira
was afterwards killed at Chicka-
mauga,

A member ofthe State Legislature
Tor one term, Representative in
Cingress for four years, declining u
third election, three times elected
Governor of the State of Tennessee,
and at present a representative Of
that State i'm theSenate eofthe United
States. Such is the record of the
public service of Isham g. Harris in
a civil capacity. This service began
thirty-two years ago at the early age
| of twenty-nine, and now at the age
Ofsixty-one, with a ripened expert
ence in public affairs growing out OF
an eveniful life passed in high pub
lie station, he brings to the perform
ance of his Senatorial duties q
knowledge and capacity which en-
inently fit him for the proper dis
charge of the responsibilities at
tached thereto. The wisdom, intel
ligence and private worth of the
people of any community or State
are properly judged by the capacity
and standing of its public men, and
tested by this standard, the State of
Tennessee and its people need have
no apprehension of the estimate
which will be formed of them i'm
the person of their senior Senator.
AT the breaking out of the late war,
Gov. Harris was just entering upon
his third gubernatorial term, and
when the people of Tennessee de-
cided to appeal to the dread arbitra-
ment of arms, he, in pursuance of
the public duty which thereby de-
volved upon him, devoted his uh-
firing energies TO the "plucking tho
flower safety from out the nPttle\
danger" He organized the volun-
teer forces of the state in a very
rapid and effective manner, and was
to Tennessee what Curtin was to
Pennsylvania, "the great war Gov
ernor." After the fail Of Nashville,
he attached himself as a volunteer,
and on the staff of the commanding
General, serving in that capacity
until the close of the war, and in
1867 returned TO Memphis and TO
the practice of his profession as a
lawyer-in which he was engaged

personal and official ability and in
such measures as may beet
tend to speed the country onward in
its great march of progress, and
keep the people prosperous, happy,
united and free. OF singularly fine
presence and most agreeable man
ner, Gov. Harris possesses all the
clements of great personal populari-
ty; but when TO this is added his
ability as a jurist, experience as a
legislator and spotless private char
lcter as u man, il is not to be won
1ered that Tennessee should desire
TO have him as her representative in
the Senate of the United States,
since in so honoring him she but
does honor 20 herself.

WE advise all young people to ac-
quire in early life the habit Of using
good language, both in speaking
and writing, and also t0 abandon
the use of slang words and pnrases.
The longer they live the more diff
cult the acquisition ofgoOd language
will be, and If the golden age Of
youth, the proper time for the ac-
QUESTION Of language, be passed in
abuse, the unfortunate victim is
very properly doomed to talk slang
for life. Money is not necessary To
procure this education. Every per-
son has it in his power. He has to
use the language which he reads
instead Of the slang which ne hears; /;
to form taste from the best speakers
and poets of the country; to treas
ure up choice phrases in his menu
Ory and habltuate himself to their
use, avoiding at the same time that
pedantic precision and bOmbast
which show rather the weakness Of
ambition than tho polish of an edu,
Gated mind.
