That steal CH

Editor Register: Some of the people
of this county, and most Of them
Republicans, and also government
coupon bond-holders, are denouncing
the "Weaver Bill" now pending in
Congress, proposing to pay the sold
iers of the late war the difference
that existed between paper and gold
at the time they were paid of, as
demagogueisrh, and an attempt to
steal from the government some
thing near s500,000,000.
The men who fattened OFF the gov
ernmcnt tin her peril, as contractors
for furnishing supplies to the army,
made all their contracts in such a
way that they received their pay in
gold, or its equivalent. When they
furnished a dollars worth of beans,
and gold was worth 50, they reeeiv-
ed 50 in grecnbacks for the collars
worth of beans furnished, and so on
as gold went up and down.
When the bonds were put upon
the market, they we're purchased
by the bondholders Of today in a de-
preeiated currency,-a paper dollar
that was worth from S7l cts. to 20
cts. For this 374 cent dollar they
got gold dollar bond, exempt from
all species of taxation, and ut about
half its face value; and this 37l ct.
dollar was in turn paid to the soldier
AZ its face value--or in other words,
for ono hundred cents, when in fact
it was worth only Mirty.scuen and a
hat cents IN gold!
Is it any steal for Congress to pay
the soldier upon gold Standard or

PARIS LETTER.
PARIS. FRANCE, Dec. 81. 1S7

Paris, FRANCE, Dec. 81, 1879.
Editor Register A curious instance
of eccentricity in temperature is re-
ported from the mountainous district
of Pontaf!iera as having been observ.
edduring the frosty weather. While
the thermometer was some degrees
below freezing point in the town, on
the neighboring hill the temperature
was more than forty degrees higher.
The thaw continues and today it
has been assisted by copious down
pour. The ice has not yet broken
up in the Seine, ard the idea Of its
strength is conveyed by the fact that,
although this is the third day of the
thaw, the dynamite operations con-
tinue, and the men employed walk
upon tho ice with safety. Up to the
present time the water has not risen
sufficiently to cause any immediate
fear of consequences, but that there
will be a serious flood there can be
little doubt. The accumulation Of
snow on the roofs and the action of
the thrw have caused many houses
to be indundated.
