It it simply a prbmlso on tha part of tlio United S'cs to pay (be holder so many dollars. What is the meaning of the word '"dollar," as nscd in the bomk? Gen. Butler says that It means "greenbacks -a legal tender." Bnt what is a greenback a legal tender? - We will take one trots out wallet and rend. Here it is -Tbo United Statet will pay the bearer one dollar at lho treasury in New York."' That is the, dollar which Gen, Butler tayt is promised hi the bond not the dollar lu the tretsury la New York, but the bk of papor which promisee tlio. dollar. A dollir, says Gun. Butler, is the promise of a dollar! And-be calls on this great naihn to stand up before tho nations of the earth and any to its creditors: "That dollar I promised jr. u was only the proml-so of a floll ir ccrtululy a dollar is nothing but -the1 promHo of a dollar; takt it and be gone !"

Probably the general would boot the fellow fuimhU presence, and' never ask him for the dollar agiin, and take good care that be never owed him another. And yet General But'.er calls upon the government of the United States to do this very thing with Its creditors. "But General Butler's Kherae not only pro pose' to redeem one promisa with another which U never to be redeemed, but to redeem promise which draws Interest by one which does not draw hilerest, To Illustrate this we will suppose that 'General Butler holds note against Charles Sumner for one thousand dol lars, payable In two to five years, at the option of the maker, wttli Interest payable semi-annually. The two years are expired and Mr. Sumner goes to - General 'Butler, and says, "General, I am tired of paying interest on that note and Wish td pay It." Genera! Butler re plies, "Very wolf, you have right to take it up." Mr. Sumner offers him his own note, for the amount without interest The General sajs to Mr. Sumuer, "I have your promise to pay already. If you wish to take up the note pay me the money." Mr. Sumner replies, "General, I did indeed promise to pay you so many dollars, but you know tba) one promise may always be redeemed by another of the same kind, unless it Is otherwise expressly provided In tiie promise." General Butler re plies, "But this is not even a promise of the same kind; It promises no- interest." Mr. Bumner, with his accustomed good nature, replies, "Very true ; but. General, youshould understand that as the second promise always cancels the debt, I am no longer bound to pay Interest." ' .'

Ono of the most appalling cataslro- plucs that lias occurred m tlusvtciiunity for years, and which is only excecdeil in fatality by tho terrific explosion nt Al legheny Arsenal some five years since took place nt noon, Friday, at Reese Graff & Dull s rolling mills, in the Ninth ward, by which fourteen' men were hurried into eternity, and a largo number of others severely iniurcd. The particulars of tho fatal calamity, are given as follows by one of our city exchanges of Saturday: Yesterday moruing about halt-past cloven o clock tho residents of the Ninth ward, lower part of Pitt township and Lawrcnce ville, were startled by a trcmenduous report as of an explosion, which shook tlio foundations ot tho houses tor halt a mile around. Crowds of pcoplelias tened to tho place from whence the re- Iwrt proceeded to ascertain tho cause, t was soon ascertained tbat an explo sion had taken place in the Forge De partment of the iortPitt Iron Works owned by Messrs. Hees, Graff & Dull, and located on the bank of the Alle gheny river, between Wilson and Rouudary streets, in Pitt township, an 1 fronting tho track of the Allegheny Valley Railroad. Tho builii;.ng had been blown to atoms, and the report that quite a largo number of hands , employed in the building had been killed and Injured spread Itko wild- Ui'OV ! To add to tlio mora horrible nature of the catastrooliy, tho ruins of the building had taKeo, fire and were in flames. Notwitlistanding tlio exertions of the firemen, nearly all of tho frame work of tlie building was -destroyed before the flames could bo siibd'utfd. We arrived at the scene of the disas ter half an. jiour ' after thd explosion took place, and found tho,. building to bo a mass of ruins. , The ruins wore in such a confused mass it is almost im possible to describe them. , The explo sion had made such a complete - wreck that not one board on tho building had been left standing. A portion of the structure used in rolling iron, and lo cated oil. tliecast side, and about twen ty, feet from the forgo .department, was torn j.down . by - the i explosion. Two largo smoke stacks in thin, build ing were thrown down :by the .flying timber, and falling on a shed near by were bent very ,id!v. ', In tlio forge department, the ruins some places had massed very high.,., ..None ot the tim ber . belonging -to,,' the building was blown any great distance,, but princi pally full in confused; maps together. Singular to say,., all the chimueys in in this . buildinir iwere left Rfciiulinc. . . . - -. ra, . 1 . . n ' attho:igh,eycrythmg else belonging' to U19 ; building was. a complete, wreck. A number of pjeces of .the boilers, qnil, tiiubor were thrown a considuruUo dis tance fropi bp, ground. r . " As soon as lha flinios had been sub dued guJHojeijtly to admit of tjae remov al of. the charred tkaber and iron, fV forta wara jnade, w take out iue, bodies IWftiii VW PcUi tors present assisted in the wvjrlc,'and sueceeJedin recover'mg about' h:df a dozen of the bodiessome of which were bo terribly burned as td bd almost unrecognizable. -A sad spectacle "was nrcsented to tho eye of the spectator as lie reached tho scene of tho disaster shortly after the explosion. As a body was extricated from tho ruins, women, little girls .and boys would crowd arouud it to get a ghuiso of the corpse fearing to discern in tho features some husband, father or brother, - who hail been employed in tho null, and who was missing. The agonizing tears ofthe women andchildrcuas they recognized in some mangled corpse the well known features ot thoso nearest and dearest to them, was heart-rendi n iu the extreme, and by-stamlurs could but look on ami pity tliem, , As . the bodies were extricated from tho f iihis, they were' laid on the ground near by, or taken Into the adjosning 'houses.' Tho injured were removed into the houses, where everything possible was done for them. As soon as the nature of the disaster had been ascertained,., a number of physicians from this qity and vicinity repaired lit once to the scono and administered relief to tho In jured. . . ' Sixty tnen were employed in the forgo dcmrtmcnt but it is believed that ull nave been accounted for. ...... The bpilers (three in number) were parallel with the river and Allegheny Valley Railroad track, and about sev en iuchos apart. They were built in July, 1803, by Carroll & Snyder, and were forty-two inches in diameter . and thirty feet in length, with two .sixteen inch flues in ench boiler. The shells and flues were made of full qlinrtcr inch iron,' The iron was manufactured by Shocnbcrgcr & Co., each ! sheet stampedC. 11. (Chnt'coa! Jlaiumwcil) No. 1. It is impossible to ascertain which boiler exploded first as tho en gineer and fireman, tho tho only per sons capable of giving such informa tion, were instantly killed. The prob ability is that one of the boilers explo ded and immediately caused the explo sion of the other two. They all np poar to have broken in tlio middle and the fragments were thrown all directions. I1 mm an examination of all the fragments of the boilers that wore to be seen, it appears that they were broken in peiucs where riveted together. . Several of tho flues were collapsed, anil but littlo remained by which the boiler could bo identified, Immediately after tbo explosion the building took firo and tho damage was thus rendered much greater than it otherwise would have been. The few persons who escaped from tho building were so intent upon gctingout that thev paid little attention to what took place in tho brief interval that occurod be tween tho explosion and tho fire.- Coroner Clawson arrived on the ground shortly after the explosion, and took immediate measures towards hold ing inquests on the bodies of unfortu nate victims. A peico of timber four feet long and several inches thick, was thrown through the nir a distance of a quar ter of a mile, and struck near the track of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Compa ny. -, A little son of Mr. Hutchinson, the engineer, was pist in net of bandin his father his dinner bucket, when the boiler exploded, blowing off a portion r-r irlai i yi.h. .r oi .iur. ji. srneiiu ana Kilting nun ins tantly. The boiler passed over the lit tle boy's head, and be was not seri ously injured, only sustaining a few cuts on the head from falling timbers. His escape from death was most mirac ulous. John Weaver, one of tho employees in the mill, was standing noar ono of the pits when tho explosion occurred. Tho forco of tho steam Wew him ; up through the building (tho timber hav ing fallen) and over a shed, lighting on the bank of the river, a distance of two hundred feet. Ho only sustained a fracture ofthe shoulder blade, besides having his face scalded, and was able to walk back. ' ' The firm estimate their total loss at $12,000. Their establishment was ful ly insured against fire. Tlio building was a frame structure and was entirely lostroyed, but the principal part of the machinery was not materially dam aged. , Many plans were proposed in order to aflbrd relief to the families of the suilcrci'3, but no definite action was taken until tbe Young Men's. Chris tian Association, with their charac teristie bcncVidcuce, took the master in hand. ' . ,,. . It is' also proposed that the manufac turers of the city, and thbVr employees, extend a helping hand to the sufferers.
