and make it a legal tender for all
debts. The legal tender notes
show clearly what the result of the
experiment is: they save the pee
fie from being taxed the amount',
of the interest on the debt the
represent, which is a great im
provement on the bank note
system. If the tax is removed
from the banks, as there is every
reason to believe it will be, is
there anj reason why a "3-per cent.
twenty year bond should not be at
a. premium of $100? On every
$100,000 the national bankers buy
they can deposit them with the
secretary of the treasury, and get
-back $00,000 bank notes, worth
just as much as the money they
pay for these bonds; so that really
they have oniy $10,000 out, jm
which they draw $"j,000 a year, at
33 per cent, on the amount in-Tested.

Ve notice from the Xew York
papers that while Mr. William J.
Grace, newly-elected mayor of that
city, is likely to prove unpopular
among the politicians and piace-
seekers, he will show himself en
tirely capable and worthy of the
high office he has been chosen to
fill. His inaugural message to the
-beard of aldermen betrays an inti
mate acquaintance with the duties
of the city government, and gives
confidence that the best results
may be expected from his admin
istration. The New York Tribune,
the strongest opponent to his can
didacy, and the only paper attack
ing him on personal grounds dur
iug the late excited campaign,
publishes his message in full, and
states that it was conclusive evi
dence since the election of the
wrong done Mr. Grace in the
charges against him personally,
which it withdraws. Mr. (J nice
is sound on the public school ques
tion, which gave rise to so much
anxiety among his opponents, and
his assurances in this regard will
be amply met. On the whole, we
think the people of Xew York
will have every reason to feel sat
isfied with their choice, and that
Mr. Grace, to use his own words
in an interview immediately after
the election, "will not be the may
or of either faction or party, but
of the whole people."

most exalted and the most honor-'
able rose to do him honor. And
now that he has returned to his
own land we find him declaring
his readiness to enter upon any
duties and active engagements
which he may be able to perform
acceptably as a private citizen of
our great republic, and his letters,
his speeches, ami articles from his
pen published in the press of the
country must be considered fortu

During a recent lectin e in IVovi
. dence, Mrs Livermore, in com
menting on the wronirs which
women suffer, remarked that when
she learned that her first-born was
a girl, she turned her face to the
wall and wept. Not long ago.
when a Chicago man learned that
his third-born was a girl, he turned
his face to the door and kicked,

The present session of the Cali

as fruitful in unconstitutional bills
as the last. A little firmness on
the part ol sensible members in
each house blight diminish the
humbug.
The New York legislature is in
a serious scare that the sad catas
rophe which occurred iia the
ltichmond cnpitol some eight years
ago will be rehearsed in Albany.
It is understood that the building
is insecure, and a general smash

or two if nuce.sMty; and if that fails
you, tko all the jrk offered at SO
tiei hundred. Koep your steam up

conductor awl engineer obeyed in
stritctioiMs. The Nomstown Herald says:
Hens are now laying eis that cost
forty-five and fifty cunts a den, and
this ii the strontje'H argument for free
trade that can be rodueed. Abolish
our protective tnntf and britij the
woik of foreign hens in competition
with our own fowls, and egijs would
go down to fifteen cents a dozen, if
not lower. Perhaps a tariff for reve
nue only would have beon the correct
thing, after all.
