The Legal Tender Quality.

The effort that is being made to take
away the legal tender quality of green
backs should he resisted with all reason
able means, unless there is positive as
surance that such removal of the legal
tender quality shall not be made to serve
as preliminary step toward the retire.
ment of greenbacks from circulation.
The legal tender quality really amounts
to nothing as long as the greenbacks are
redeemable in coin on demand; but the
money sharks who wish to retire them,
and issue bank notes instead, have de-
termined to test the strength of the move
ment they have started, by making an is
sue on this point. A Washington telc-
gram of Dec. 81, states that conference
of prominent Democrats have agreed on
the resolutions printed below, to be pre-
sented to the caucus Immediately after
the holiday recess. The adoption of
these resolutions would be of great ben
eft to the party, because they embody a
principle that is both sound and popu-
lar. Very few will object to the remov-
al of the legal tender quality, if done on
the conditions named in the resolutions,
which are as follows:
Resolced, That coins Of gold and silver. Of
weight and freness as fixed by Congress, are
the true constitutional currency of the couu.
try.
Resolued, That all paper money required
for the purpose of trade and commerce should
be issued oy the government Of the United
States and should he in the nature of treasury
nrtea not legal tender unless expressly stip-
ulated in the contract, but receivable for. nj,
dues to the United States. and 'edeemable in
coin at the office Of the assistant treasurer in
New York city, and that this paper should bt
of u uniform character and iu denominations
to he fixed br law.
Resolved. That sound policy requires that
this government should alwa,s keep in re-
serve coin TO the extent of 3a3 pr cent. OF
outstanding certificates for their redemption
Res"lued. That the change proposed in re
gard to the currency shall not go into efTec'
prior to 1853.

''AAA shc aOuu Nnuuly argus.
On Friday morning last Mrs. Wilkins:
living about two miles east Of Long P:ai.
rie, received a gunshot wound IN th'
right leg near the hip joint. A young
mana P"lander about twenty years ..
aye was handling loaded rife careIessly
IN the room which finally went off and
inflicted the terrible wound. Dr.. Ken
egy was called at once and found the cas.
so serious that he called in counsel Dr..
Palmer, of Sank Centre. They decided
that the woman, who is forty-sev year,
Of age, could not live through amruta-
tiOn of the limb which would have to BE-
unjointed at the hip, the wound being s''
near tn. joint as to make any other ore.
ration impossible. Modification has com
m"nced and she will die within shor,
time. This adds another horrible in.
stance Of the careless use OF firearms.
Mrs. Wilkins is widow and will leave
family of three children, the youngcs,
being about five or SIX years of age and
the oldest abont fifteen. The young man
whose carelessness wrought the sad &C.
cident is nephew Of the dying woman.
He WAS told by one Of the boys while he

Sound Political Principles.

Senator Bayard 10 fond of home. - Exchange.
Well, the people of the country will allow
him the privilege Of enjoying all the comforts
Of his home for several years to come.-St.
Paul Globe.
The St. Paul Globe shows its devotion
to principle and its strict political hon
esty by repudiating the pernicious fnan-
cial vagaries supported by Senator Bay
ard, and boldly opposing the elevation
to office Of any man representing such
principles. Bayard is understood to be
a candidate for the presidency, and has
always been identified with the Demo-
cratic party; therefore the Democratic
newspaper that repudiates both the man
and his principles at this time, must have
determined that no contingency should
lead it to support him, and must necessa-
rily have strong and uncompromising
political convictions, not to be over
thrown even by the urgent demands Of
political expediency. Bayard,; while
protesting to be a Democrat, persistent
ly works with the Republicans, and ut
terly refuses to cooperate with the Dem
ocratic party unless that party will adopt
unwise measures that bear the elements
Of defeat on their face. Such was the
case during the extra session of last
spring. Bayard would cooperate with
his party on nothing but the repeal of
the election laws, and the position taken
by the Democrats in Congress on that
question did not commend itself to the
popular Judgment, as the fall elections
plainly showed. If Bayard is now the
representative of any important princi-
pie that is not distinctly and unquestion-
ably Republican in its nature, we freely
confess that we do not know what it is.
During the extra session he fought his
own party on the silver bill, and he is
now working with the Republicans to
have measures adopted looking to the
ultimate retirement of greenbacks from
circulation. Now the patty that under
takes to retire the greenbacks is the one
that will be woefully defeated at the
polls. There seems to be great deal
of misapprehension about the views of
the people on the greenback question.
Many entertain the notion that the re-
cent elections show that the greenback
is not popular; but the fact should be
recognized that it was the i,redeemable
greenback that received the mark of
public disapproval, and that the redeem
able grecnback is immensely popular
There is nothing in Bayard's record
or in his present attitude on the leading
issues, to recommend him to the favora-
bic consideration of the Democratic par
ty, and we are glad that the Globe ex-
presses itself rightly and decisively on
this point.
