Denver tribune, Nhep.)l
Bayard is one of the hard money
Democrats who has been faithful TO
bis principles. When bis party in the
west aud south proposed to set sail
upon a shOreless sea OF cretit he
fought the heresy, and voted with the
republicans to maintain the national
honor, The general use of greenbacks
as money bad not confused his brain
into the belief that they we're other
than mere evidences of debt, and his
clear, business head kept him from
falling into the error that going fur
Their into debt would relieve us from
the burden of debt already handicap
ping our prosperity. Therefore be
held fast to his honest views. When
the resumption of specie payment vii :
dicated the wisdom of his course. he
sawan opportunity to steal some of the
credit which attached to the repub-
llcan party for its resumption
policy, and he offered the opportunity
10 his democratic brethren in his res
olution. Carried through by "a nearly
unanimous vote it would have done
much to re. establish the democracy.
but it was patent from the first that ii
had not the political foresight to take
advantage Of the plank thrown to it.
1t could not tear itself away from the
false doctrines to which it was so
closely welded, and, by very ordi-
nary exhibition Of craftsmanship, the
republicans car forever fxupon 1t the
odium Of supporting as a body every
dishonest measure and opposing as a
body every honest one. The finance
committee of the senate is opposed to
the resolution, and the majority of the
democrats in congress are opposed to
it. Force it to a vote and the fact
will be made patent enough to give
New York to the republicans by
10000.

VACCINE MATTER.
Stables for the Propagation of the Virus
in Sacramento.

i'm Sacramento.
As the smallpox has got foothold
on this Coast, and the disease has reached
Reno and Virginia, it behooves persons
who have not been vascinated to attend
to the matter at once. AS it is very
important that pure bovine virus be
used, DIR. G. M. Dixon, of Sacramento,
has established stables for its propaga-
tion at that place. The Record Union
describes the process as follows:
"a platform is hung by hinges to'the
wall. To this, when vaccinating, a
young heifer is fastened securely with
straps, and then the platform is raised
to level by means of puIlies. The
hair is then carefully shaven from the
udder and escutcheon, and the virus,
which was recently obtained from the
Beaugeacy stock, that originated in
genuine case of cow-pox, is inserted
under shis surface in from ten to thirty
places. In three or four days indiea-
tions of the workings of 5he virus APP
pear, and in about week the shaven
surface is studded with mature Wis.
sicles full of vaccine lymph. With this
ivory or quill points are charged, and
these are used i'll vaccinations, or in
transporting the lymph to other parts.
1t would be matter of interest to any
who have not already witnessed the
operation, tovisit theestablishment. The
heifers do not appear to bemuch affected
by the working of the cow-pox disease
upon them, but sometimes refase to- eat
much for day or two, but after that
do not appear any different than ususl. !"

CANyAsSiNG THE VOTES.

The District Judge to issue Certificates to
Commissioners and Members Of the
Legislature.
The Virginia Chronicle has the fol-
lowing, which may be of interest to the
public as well as to members OF the
Legislature:
In giving his opinion before the Board
of County Commissioners last week,
Judge Rising stated that it was the
duty of the Board to canvass all the
election returns and issue certificates,
and the District Attorney concurring
in his opinion, the Board proceeded to
perform the work. There is nothing in
the election law to the contrary, but it
appears that in an Act defining the
duties of the County Commissioners,
passed subsequently TO the Acts con-
tanned III the compiled election laws of
the State, it is made the duty Of the
District Judge to canvass the votes for
County Commissioners and members of
the Legislature and Issue the certificates
of their election. The canvass made by
the Board and the certificates issued by
that body would therefore be illegal
and might invaldate the election. This
point was discovered by Judge Rising
yesterday in time to prevent the Com
missioners from issuing certificates by
sending them notice. This evening
Judge Rising will canvass the votes for
Commissioners and members of the Leg.
islature.
