CONGRESSMAN Frank III. Hurd,
of Ohio, introduced in the house
last Tuesday a bill, which enacts
that after January l, 1881, nothing
but gold and silver coin of the
United States shall he legal tender
in the payment of all debts con-
tracted, unless otherwise expressly
stipulated in writing. This is in
accordance with Bayard's resolu-
ton, and it is said will secure the
votes of many republicans of the
East and West. Congress should
set down very heavily on this bill,
aud severely let alone any legislation
upon this subject. If, however, our
national Legislators want to do some
thing real good in the way of leg
islating upon the money question
let them pass an act abolisbing na-
tional bankseand make green BACKS
a legal tender In fact by making
them receivable for all dues, both
and private, on imports and
exports.

The hair of the presidents from

coarse, as also is the hair of cold
Hickory The custom of preserv-
ing the presidential locks was
abandoned in Buchanan's time.
How it arose, and why the patent
Office was the repository selected,
it would be interesting to know.

BONDS,

Upon the subject OF officers
making their bonds the Clarion of
last week says the act of 1876 pro-
videS that the freehold estate "
of sureties on official bonds must
be situated in the county where
surety resides. The act of 1878
amended this, so that the real eS-
tate may he situated in any county
in the State of Mississippi - a
schedule of which to be filed with
the officer approving the bond. a
special act, approved February IS,
1878, excepted from this amend
ment the counties of Jefferson,
Tunica, N~oXubee, Claibore, Grena-
da, Wilkinson, Holmes, Rankin,
Yazoo, Sunfower and Pamela. As
to these counties, the act of 1876 is
still in force. InaSmuch as persons
recently elected to Office are now
arranging their bonds, we have
thought it best to call attention TO
the laws relating to the justi6ca-
ton by sureties.

consequence to many of our citi-

ONE MONEY FOR GOVERNMENT AND
PEOPLE.

ONE MONEY FOR GOVERNMENT AND
PEOPLE.
The following from the New York
San of the 9th Is our sentiments
exactly on the money question so
far as expressed; yet we would
also advocate the adjustment of
national banks, and let the govern
ment alone issue currency. 1t is
said that Senator Bayard thinks
g%reenbacks should be a legal ten
der tor all dues to the United
States, duties on imports excepted.
Now, waving all other questions
about the currency, for the time
being, it Gems to us there should
be but one Standard-but Que legal
tender-for all purposes.
Money that is good enough to
pay a poor wood chopper, a hod
carrier, or a street cleaner, is good
enough to pay to the government ;
and money good enough to pay to
the government for one cOnsidera-
ton is good enough for any other.
Likewise money good enough for
the government is good enough for
the people whose agent and instru-
ment the government is.
Senator Bayard, by the diStinc-
ton which he makes, seems to us
to throw all principle to the winds.

The attention of Cotton Factors and
Planters is called to the superior merits of
the Improved EAGLE COTTON GINS
These Eagle Gins are the Standard Cat.
ton Gins, far ahead of all Others in work
manship and durability, and make a sam
pie of cotton which always brings the
highest market price. The New Orleans
Cotton Exchange paid thirty cents a
pound for a bale of cotton ginned on tbe
Eagle Cotton Gin, and sent the bale to Abe
Centennial Exhibition as the lest bale of
cotton over brought to this market. The ST.
Louis Fairhas awarded $1,000 premium to n
bale of cotton ginned or the Eagle Cot
ton Gin. At the Centennial Exhibition
the committee decided the Eagle Gin was
far superior to all others.
No higher prizes hay eyer been award
ed to any gin in the world than have been
awarded to the EAGLE, it having re-
ceiyed, in one instance, the high prize of
$3.50 in gold (by the Agri-Horticultural
Society of Calcutta) in a competition open
to all nations.
The manufacturer of the Eagle Cotton
Gin commenced in 1888, since which time
nearly twenty thousand have been made
and sold. The largest planters of the
Mississippi Valley nave always given the
Eagle Gin the preference. They know
they are always II reliable gin, NEVER
FAILING TO GIVE THE MOST PER
Feet SATISFACTION. All who use the
Eagle Cotton Gin will certifyStQ the fact
that when their cotton is sen to market
it always brings the worry hia Fst market
prices, as no other gin can 0lnce y liner
or better sample of cotton than the Eagle
Cotton Gin.
This extensive use of these Gins is the
result, entirely, Of the merits of the ma
chimes themselves, the manufacturers
never having expended any money in set
ting forth their merits i'll expensive advcr-
tisements or illustrated catalogues, with
long array of certificates, much prefer
ring that each purchaser shall be the solo
Judge of the merits of he machine he
has purchased.
The prices of the Eagle GIN having
been reduced to So 80 II saw, makes them
