the polls, and told those who had not

Mr.. Burchard, superintendent Of the
mint at Washington, is Of the opinion
that we can successfully use $36o,ooO,-
900 Of silver dollars. He says the pres
emf rate Of silver coinage can be con-
tinued for fifteen years without
disturbing the present relative value
Of gold and silver. As long as the peo-
pie have use and call for silver dollars,
silver will not depreciate. For small
amounts the people prefer silver to
gold, and for large amounts bills are
preferable. Congress had better let
well enough alone and not disturb the
| coinage Of silver. As long as silver
viii circulate at par with gold, and it
constitutes a safe and convenient ele-
ment Of circulation, let the people have
all they can 50 use.

Mr. EDITOR lin reporting the pro
ceedings of the meeting Of last Satur.
day, you did not make clear the result
OF the spelling down exercise. You
said that Fl. G. Hoskins was the last
on the floor, but you forgot to state
that Superintendent Mahoney was not
legally spelled down. The word " hinge
ing was pronounced, and he spelled it
Ringing, which, according to the
speller used, was wrong, and he was
ordered down. But upon referring to
the Dictionary at the close of the ex-
ercise we found that he had spelled it
right. Ii the words in the speller had
been compared with the spelling in the
Dictionary the mistake would not have
occurred. f. J. MOONEY,

" President is much discussed among
Republicans here, and is generally ap-
proved. The opinion is expressed that,
as soon as the people understand the
subject fully, the money will be forth
coming. Nearly every one prefers a
voluntary subscription to an appropri-
alton by Congress.
Despite denials, there is a disposition
among Southern men to support the
administration of General Garfield. 1t

GOOD GOVERNMENT.

This is the title of pamphlet by
Peter Cooper, of New York, now in
his DIST year. 1t is put forth as an APP
peal to legislators, editors, religious
teachers and patriots. Peter Cooper is
a grand old man. grand in his sue
cesses as a business man; grand in the
good he has done his fellow-men: and
grand in the fullness of years to which
he has attained. His name will &c
down to future generations as one Of
the purest philanthropists that ever
lived to bless the world. Mr.. Cooper's
utterances are entitled to the most
respectful consideration, and this we
accord them. lie expects, too, that
those editors into whose hands his APP
peal comes will candidly express their
views Of it, and this we propose to do.
Goodness OF heart, purity of life, great
success in business does not protect q
man from cherishing errors Of opinion
| and false theories. In our view, Mr..
Cooper holds to some very serious er-
r0rs and false theories with regard to
money, His appeal opens with the
following sentence THE experience
of long life has compelled me to be-
lieye that the constitution has made it
the imperative duty of Congress to
take and hold the entire control of all
that should ever have been allowed or
used as money"
We quote further. 1.-THE failure on
the part Of the general government to
obey the first mandate of constitu-
ton that vests the power Of coming
money and regulating the value there
of in the United States, without direct
ing whether it should be coined from
gold, silver copper, nickel or paper.
The regulation of the value of money
can only be accomplished by law of
Congress that will declare the exact
amount which may be legally collected
for the use of, or interest on, money"
The experience Of Mr.. Cooper's life
can have no connection with what is
affirmed in the constitution of the
United States. If the constitution af-
firms certain things, if its words con-
yey certain thoughts, they can not be
changed or affected by any mans life,
experience or belief He entertains the
error that paper can be coined. No
correct use of language permits such
an idea. Only metal can be coined,
Coins used to be forged by hand. Now
they are coined by a process called
stamping. Paper can be stamped or
printed, but after it is stamped or
printed it is not a coin. There is no
