dignity and urbanity in his official conduct,
and as long as any OF his contemporaries

with classical English literature, and most
interesting In his conversation for this rea'
son. We may truly say of him that he was
conspicuous for the kindness and gentleness
OF his disposition and for his refinement
and good taste. His memory can never fail

The Goloid Coinage

Nn0M we saw Gt1ut MT. STEPHESS, vi
Georgia, had espoused the theory of the
utility and benefit Of o goloid coinage we
I,=rt
for it, at least enough to demand some con-
sideration for it. But it was not long be-
fore we came to the decided conviction that
the idea was delusion out and out; and
we do trust Congress will not for moment
entertain any such purpose as that OF putting
afioat a mixed coinage such as this goloid
money.
We have been greatly vexed already with
an increased variety Of coins. The gold
dollar was nuisance. The gold two-dol-
lar-and-a-half piece was an everlasting
bother, and so was the tbree-dollar piece.
The people want no mixed OF adulterated
coins. They want no such varieties Of
coins as will cause more perplexity than
convenience. The gold tiye.dollar piece is
the smallest gold coin that should be
put afoat. The distinction between that
and the ten-dollar piece, or half eagle, is
clear and decided. So let us have the five
dollar, or quarter-eag!e piece, the ten-dollar,
or half eagle, and the eagle, and So on.
That for gold will answer to the entire sat
isiaction OF the American people. OF sill
yer we want ten-cent, and twenty-ive-cent,
and tifty-cent pieces, and q dollar. This
will do for silver and silver is lovable
coin. All people regard it with favor.
Whatever people may say about paper, frac'
tional currency-i. e., fractional parts Of a
dollar-is an abominatlon. And whatever
is done, give the people metal coins as they
are in the denominations we have described.
Any additional variety will but cause trou-
BILE and do no earthly good. Increased va
riety but causes increased perplexity and
confusion, and increases the opportunity
FOR fraud and dslusion.
This is the age of delusion and adultera-
ton. Let the Government steadily refuse
to become party to any form Of adultera-
ton. Everything now is adulterated. II
is become almost impossible to detect the
real from the false. The art OF deception
has been injected more than ever before
even into the social and moral world
g Pinchbeck' is installed and exalted toe
often above that which has been tried In the
furnace. We have all Of us been more
than ever convinced that there is but one
place in the universe where there are no
such things as authorizations and frauds, and
where false pretences cannot deceive and
where hypocrisy dare not appear. We all
sigh for that land; al indulge the hope OF
finding there consolation for the decisions
put upon us here. But none Of us hope to
obtain nay such security as protection from
deception in the country we now inhabit.
God forbid that the Government shall do
anything In the way OF a metamorpho OF
metals that may facilitate the art of the adul-
traitor. ~. d
No more varieties OF coins, we trust; and
from goioid coins. may kind Providence
deliver us y. 55s5S Isl ~

The Mississippi.

The people OF the Mississippi. Valley are

/ proyement that should be adopted TO give
the greatest benefit from the money expend d
ed upon the Mississippi river. 1t is always

est the differences amongst the friends Of
Lit. It is indeed natural; and there is
almost sure to be discord inspired by ri
yalries growing out OF partisanship OF
schemes that are expected to be advantage
Gus. to certain persons or associations OF
men,. We conjecture that the differences
about the Mississippi improvement have
their origin, to some extent, from this very
cause. /,
without any partisan sympathy or repul-
sion from any plan that is, spoken OF, and
with no conceit as to our superior 'acquaint-
ance with the merits of the question, we
are inclined to put faith in the idea OF
Strengthening and deepening the Missis-.
sippi as the best way OF relief from excess
OF water. We concur with the Louisville
Courier Journal in regarding The theory of
outlets from the river toward its westward
interior as an absurdity. The Journal Justly
styles it "the outlet .absurdity." 81,
Every inch OF water that escapes through
lateral outlet increases by that much the
tendency to shoaling of the main river and
the spread of water over the area behind.
That would really be tendency to.a return
to the barbarous state that existed before
any OF the swamps behind the Mississippi
had been reclaimed by tillage. a
The true theory that, carried out, will.
yield the greatest advantage, is to Keep the
great volume OF water flowing along the
Mississippi within its shores. Thus the
volume viii force itself with undiminishing
strength along towards the Gulf, securing
and deepening its own bed and increasing
or keeping up its velocity and preventing
shoaing. That is the surest way for the
Mississippi to maintain its concentrated
power and facilitate its own way towards
its mouth in the Gulf. To resort to outlets,
saa1,.u uzs,.....- rr.a=Iknannr@r
opening anew that into Lake Borgne, and
adding others, will but shoal the Mississippi
in places, impair its naygable capacity, and
bring upon its people greater evils.
Mississippi is far away from us; but we
cannot repress the interest we feel as an
American in that grand river, so full OF
blessings to man. No other river in the
world-not even the Nile-has so great ca
pacity to promote the happiness and abund-
ance of man. The whole nation is interest
ed in it. It's Improvement is one OF the
greatest of national obligations. And it is
matter of the greatest Importance that what
shall be appropriated with thai object. shall
be wisely expended, that it may not be
| wasted.

The Sugar

Duty is occupying much time and asen-
ton in Congress. But the question Of the
extensive frauds in the adulteration OF
sugar, which deserves consideration, is not
considered at all. The practices by which
sugars are adulterated give more real profit,
we suspect, to the experts than is made by
the cultivators OF sugar. That the article,
in the course Of the process by which SO
much Is made by the experts, Is imbued
withmuch deleterious matter, is unquestion.
able. Remembering many things Of early
days in this century, we remember espe.
cially the really palatable and heaIth-che-
risbing molasses that was brought from the
West Indies--from Cuba and Porto Rico.
We know that none Of that molasses is to
be had now. Those who intrude between
the maker and the consumer intercept all
the honest and pure productions, aud work
them up to their own advantage and the
detriment Of the consumer.
This is a bad thing for us all, and the ex-
tent OF the business without limit. No
thing escapes the manipulators. They will
not allow the consumer to get fttoo much
Of the good thing" Everything must pay
toll to them before it reaches the consumer,
In honest days we used to hear OF ''sapd.

day are smarter than their predecessors
