Both the Harvard, Varsity and fresh- men crews are working ss though they had but 6 small chance of success. This is a wise course to pursue in any event. Both crews were out on the Thames late yester- day morning, and padded around for . while under the eye of their coach.
 No conference has as yet been held be- tween the two crews as to the hour of the race on Friday, June 30, but 1t will be fixed in all probability somewhere near to 1 o'clock, as the tide serves for that hour, according to the conditions governing the hour. It Is thought that the hour and some other details relating to the race will be settled next Saturday, which is as late date as it can bs stretched to. The soen- CT the hour Is fixed the better for those living at distance from New London.
 Yale and Harvard will probably agree on changing the flags marking the course from blue and red, ss they now are, to white on all the poles, doing the work thsmselves without expense to the com. mittee Last year the blue flags washed out but this year the blue has held its colol while the red flags have changed to [ streaky white.

\ Madison correspondent in Tues
day letter, abiding to the Democratic
Senatorial fight and tactics, says:
1T is stated that Mitchelrs cam
paign expenses up to date have been
over SO, 600. He sent money to a large
number of Democratic candidates for
the legislature to pay their election
expenses last November. Some of the
members so helped claimed after com
ing here that they were compelled to
eNpend still further sums OF money III
order to be elected and these sums
Mitchell has reimbursed.
lie also has paymaster here on the
ground. Mitchell gives money to Sen
ator Murphy of Milwaukee and Muir
Ply has turned It over to a trusted
agent who went into the open market
and pct it where it would do the most
good
Gen. Bragg has not a single man on
the ground under pay. 1t has been a
a great burden for him to pay even his
own hotel expenses.
Col Knight has spent some money
but his campaign expenses have been
mere bagatelle compared to those of
Nj. Mitchell
Taken altogether, the present sena-
torial campaign has Ioosened up more
cash than any other in the history of

4 Tribute 10 the s-sse Ex-z'rcslt.enG
Rutherford: e. Hayes.

From The Eey York World.
The eX-president Of the United States
who has just died at his home in Ohio,
was not a great man, but he was a
good man, brave soldier, & capable
lawyer and an excellent executive. In
private life lie was an aniable ana
agreeable gentleman. In public life
he endeayored, though not always sue
sessfully, to apply his own admirable
apothegm that che serves his party
best who serves his country best"
The administration of President
Hayes was in some respects the most
valuable that the country has had since
the end Of the war. 1t is an injustice
not only to his memory but to history,
to remember his administration only
TO revile him for the means by which
the presidency was obtained Tor him.
Democrats were eStorped from ques-
tioning the val.j::,,y Of his title when
their Leaders agreed to submit the
MAJ ,er& III dispute to the Electoral
c..-.nmiSeion for Adjudication and set
tlemcnt, and participated III the count
and declaration by congress under the
forms provided in the constitution.
Mr. Hayes Cabinet was by far the
most distinguished since the first Lin
coin Cabinet Mr.. Everett, Mr. Sher-
man, Judge Dennis and Mr.. Schurz
were not only tried and proved states
men, bat they were among the fore
most men Of their party and had won
their honors by their services in public
affairs.
1t was during President Hayes al
ministration that specie payments
were resumed-one of the most diff
cult achievements of craftsmanship in
our history. The whole fiscal policy Of
the country during these four years
was i'll every way praiseWorthy.

Shabby Prominent.

The Republicans Of Wisconsin who
party, have wasted a vast amount of
sweetness and buncOmb talk or John
G. Spooner While they have passed by
without so much as Il nod, better and
stronger men viewed from a political
standpoint. The latest instance III
point is in the act of the Republican
members of the legislature III kicking
aside tie creator and fOndl:ng the
creature, by giving Mr.. Spooner their
complimentary vote for L. S. Senator.
Only for Senator Philetus Sawyer, Mr..
Spooner would never have been heard
of in political circles, and even his
strong arm could not hold him up very
long. In abiding to this same matter
the Leader very truthfully said:
"Philetus SAWYER, whose term as
United States Senator VIII expire on
the 4th Of March next, has been a
tower of strength to the Republican
party. lie has been twenty years q
member OF congress and from the very
hrSt has occupied q position OF greater
influence in Washington than that of
any other man who ever represented
the State. lie meyer cid Il mean or a

here On there ever thought Of question
ing his word. NJ constituent was too
poor or obscure, no matter too small
for his immediate personal attention,
and never he said 10 to any call for po-
litical or other help"
1t would seem to the ordinary OBJ
server that when s57ch faithful and
honorable public servant was about to
retire to private life, he should be the
one to receive this complimentary
vote this party vote Of thanks, as it

Milwaukee Sentinel 9th.
-. NJ" asks the following questions:
1st. What was the date ofthe first and second
issues OF grcenbacks by the congress Of the United
States. and what amount was issued ut both
dates?
2d. Is it true that these grccnAacks were al
ways at a pnr with gold: II 50, why?
There were three issues of treasury
notes called "greenbacko" authorized
during the war, as follows: February
p, 1861, &l50,o0o000; July II, 1862,
$3.50, 000, O09; and january Il and
March Il, 1868, $I50, 900, 900, in all
amounting to $i50,G90, 900. Besides
these non interest bearing notes, there
were issued 800, O00O0O of one and
two year notes, bearing six per cent,
and 800, ,000 three year notes, bear
ing 3.3 per cent. interest. The green
back notes were never at par with gold
until about the period of the resump-
ton of specie payments in 1879. They
tluctuated III value, as the prospects Of
the speedy termination OF the war
grew brighter or darker. In October
1862, ten months after the first issue
of greenbackS was authorized, it re
quired $l.37 in greenbacks to buy a
dollar i'll gold Four months later
gold was at premium of ~. In June
1861, congress undertook to prevent q
further depreciation of the paper cur
rency by enacting 4 sort of anti
Option" law forbiddng specializing in
gold, with the immediate effect Of
sending up The premium to 81 80. In
july of the same year, in consequence
of the unexpectedly slow progress
made by Gen. Grant in his movement
npon Richmond, and the heavy losses
of his army, the greenbacks depreciat-
ed until it WAS necessary to pay s. s.
in exchange for a gold dollar As late
as 1860, four Years after the war, it

more money struck the politicians like
the blue glass craze or the Koch lymph
panacea came upon the half educated

a few years ago. The chief political
party Of that day was thoroughly in.
fected with the financial disease, the
hypochondria Of imagining that there was
not money enough The only thing to
do was to print more
A bill was provided for printing S46,

financier who kepo out Of the hole, saws
