The Long Iionils.
Tho editor of tho Philadelphia Timet, in
alluding to this funding measure says : "Sen
ator Wallace has rendered the country an es
sential service, aud especially tho industrial
classes whoso savings have been so greatly
sacrificed by the failures of savings banks,
by pressing his bill authorizing tho issue.of

In denominations of $23s, $$50 and $100s.
Tho nicasnro was passed finally in tho Senate

Already rumor is busy with the name of
one of the leading officials ot the govern

pair of fast trotters on a salary of $4,000 a
year. There are whisperings about another
official, whose salary Is $1,000 a year less
than'tbe first mentioned, who entertains
handsomely In a large and stylish house,and
who Is known to be accumulating property.
He was extremely poor wheu first appointed
to office by Grant. When a man gets an
office here and suddenly gets rich people
naturally ask how he can save so much on
so small a salary. Senator Edmunds, when
asked about a man so situated receiving
$2,600 n year, living at the rate of $10,000

'It seems that tho Union railroad and

for tax on a special dividend, in tho sum of

feo of ten per cent, of tho sum collected,
which amounted to $l'J,10.'. Objection was
made at the treasury to the largeness of tho

All this is refreshing, especially In con-
nection with facts known to the Lanauter
Intelligencer, 1'ainot, Becortl of tne lme,
and other leading journals. I he facts In the
above case were developed In 1872 by a Leg'

We would also call the attention of our
cotemporanes to the following resolution
offered by Mr. Brockway and adopted by the
Legislature :
Betohed, That the Auditor General be re'
quested to furnish the House promptly a
detailed statement of all taxes now due the
Commonwealth from the different canal and
railroad and telegraph companies now oper
ating in this State, or that have been doing
business herein, for the past eight years.

tax, and tne amount, to tne date when it be

In answer to Speaker Elliott's objection
Mr, Brockway said :
I think this whole question can be made
flain to the gentleman from Philadelphia
Mr. Elliott) if be will listen one moment,
and tbat all objections to the resolution can
be removed. Under an act of Assembly,tbe
Auditor General is required to send to this
body, each year, an account of all the out
standing claims due the Commonwealth.
This has not been done and" I presume for
the reason that he is ill he is at his home.
The reason why the Judiciary General Com
mittee are not lnlormed, is tbat tbey nave
not tne power to send lor persons and papers
or to go into the office and make an examina
tion. Even if they did go, one unacquainted
with the books ceuld not know how to make
it. Tne clerks of the department are re
quested by this resolution to furnish from
the records, the corporations tbat aie In de
fault under the law.
the Attorney General, It is true, is the
only officer that can bring suit he is the
proper person to take charge ot It, it this
aw is onerous it is proper lor this body to so
amend or alter it as to make it constitutional
and impose taxation that can be collected ;

WASHINGTON LETTER,
Washinoton, D. 0., March 19, 1878.
On Friday next Mr. Wood's Committee
will submit to the House its bill for revis
Ion of the tariff. I believe tbat more Intel'
ligent labor has been given to this revision
than to any other subject of legislation for
several years. The diversity of interests af
fected by the measure will of course, cause
opposition, and it may be tbat, for the pres
ent, no change will be made, but Mr. Wood
is not the less entitled to praise for his ef
forts in the matter,
Our old friend McQraham is having bis
claim investigated by the Senate Public
Lands Committee. It seems to be pretty
clearly established that both McGrabam and
bis opponent, the New Idria Mining Com
pany, havi at aii'.us ilim-.s secured the ap
pointment of public officers solely for the in
fluence they could exercise In their po
sitions upon the final determination of
tho cas". This is shuwn as lo McGrabam
by li.s own letters aud the record seems to
ma'te it plain that the' New Idria Cjmpany
hand .itu tbu same thing.
There is considerable mystery about the
death i f young Leonard, member of the
II-)u- i"miii Louisiana. It will be remera-
vitd that he died a few days since at Ha
vanpa, ol, as was sUted, yellow fever. But
thero bccuii to have been no yellow fever at
lUvatina at the time. It Is believed he was
nuiiitd. He was the youugest .member of
the House, aud came originally from Penn
sylvania, In the House on Saturday Mr.
Goode, of Va,, introduced a bill tor the re
lief of ihe heirs of President Mouron.
The subject ef payiug contractors for car
rying the mails in the South, for service iu
UG0 and 18G1, was up again, A new bill
will be presented, Unquestionably most of
tbeso men should bo paid,and not all of tbem
suffer because a few of them have already
been paid,
It is now likely that Congress will give to
this District a mixed a very much mixed-
form of government. One Commissioner
shall be appointed by the President, and
shall be selected from the Engineer Depart
ment of the Army, and one be selected by
the House and one by the Senate, There
will be a council of twenty-four persons, to
be selected by such citizens of the District
as have resided tbiee years, and have paid a
poll tax. The council has no power except
to negative the acts of the Commissioners.
In fact, the veto power, and little else, be
longs to the Council. The bill has strong
support in Congress, but the average citizen
dislikes it.
Mr. Hayes has approved the bill giving
authority for a reopening of the proceedings
of tho Court Martial which cashiered Surgeon
General Win. A, Hammond during the war.
This is perhaps an act of justice to Ham
mond, but no facts have been presented
which distinguish his case from that of tbou
sands of other officers who were hastily end
no doubt unfairly tried by similar Courts or
were summarily dismissed by such officers as
Butler and other civilians, without any trial
at all. The re-opening of all the cases
should be authorized, wherever evidence of
Importance is presented by the officer pun
isbed. As It Is, no Department has author
Ity to act.

COIN INADEQOAtVTto THE WANTS W
BUSINESS.
Tho trado nnd industries of the country, re
quire a sufficient .volumo of full legal-lender
or par money, to place them on a cash basis,
and thus make them active and pro'peroits ;
and in order to tnako this country a market
to which tho world will come to buy. To do
this wo must ptodueein Jieaply as tho Eu
ropean Nations with which we oonni into
competition. To dn m it will Im necessary
to.r-iiWf the rate ol in'ore-t on money to nn
equality with the lale of Inlcrc-t on money in
Europe, which employs l.ibnr in wealth por
ducing ; as this will reducn tho cost nf doing
business and of producing wealth, without im
poting utijutt tcaget on Ihe hbortr or wealth
producer. Tho interest on money like the
wages of labor, is regulated by demand nnd
supply. When there aro more lenders than
borrower.! of money, as there will lie, when
tho business of the country is on a cash b.ii',
tho inlerctl will be Ion; and t lie clear profit!
of tho laborer mil be greater, and tho cost of
production will bo reduced. Husine-a being
actively pursued, will uiako a demand for la-
bor, which Kill gite lo laborers a jmt rcwird
for Ihe if toil.
To place nnd maintain Ihe business of tills
country on a cash bais, it is known by the
experienco of 18W th it a volumo of full legal
tender or par money equal tn at least seventy
dollars for every individual in the country or
;ier capita will be necessary which would rC'
quire about tbrco thousand milllions of do
lars J to be tteadilg increand, with increaing
imputation. Tho cntiru nmount nf gold and
silver in tho commercial world is estimated
at six thousand millions of dollars. It is gen
eraliy supposed that tho volumo of gold and
silver Is about equal. It is o self-evident fact,
tbat the volume of gold and silver coins in
this country is totally inadequate, to supply
the wants ot dumhcss on a cash basis ac
tively pursued, It is therefore evidently our
duty to adopt some convenient material for
legal tenders or money, to tupplement the deft
ciencict of coin. Ileforo treating of what re
form must bo mado in our monetary system,
in tho adoption of a supplemental money it
will bo necessary to point out
THE RESULT OF DOINCI BUSINESS WITH
NOTHING RUT COIN.
If nothing but coin was used as money and
currency, nearly tho entire amount of business
would havo to bo done on credit, with timo
notes. Money would be so scarce that dealers
in money and credit would demand and
obtain exorbitantly high rates of inter
est, and as labor must produce all the artifi
cial wealth which exists, and thus pay all tho
interest on money and debts due from one to
another, th'n would bo to imposo an unneces
sary burthen on wealth-producers or on the
laborers of the country, for tho benefit
dealers in money and credit, commonly known
as tBill-brokers or Noto-Sbavcrs henco tho
anxiety of that covetous and cxtortionat
class of men to keep money and currency out
of tho hands of the people, that they may
operate more successfully ; and as such men
are solemnly excluded from any hopo of en
joying pleasure in a future world, they aro in
tent on enjoying their cupidity in this, and
the power which an accumulation of currency
gives them. They cannot have any hopo of
tho future, without changing their course, as
it Is solemnly declared by high Heaven, that
"the covetous man and extortioner shall not
enter tho Kingdom of Heaven 1" consequent
ly, it is with a reckless and desperate class
of men which tho laborers and business men
of tho country havo to contend, under a "Fi
tered currency."
The business of tho country being done with
coin only would lorco on the country, tho "In
flated" or forced credit system of business,
and all experience bos proven that this re
sults in a money panic and crash, in every
period, of from six to ten years very advan
tagcous generally, to dealers in currency and
forced credit, but ruinous to business men and
laborers, who arc forced into idleness and
starvation or to bogging for a subsistence
which is the degrading and lamentable con
dition of "young America" to-day. But as
the power of the ballot is in their hands they
can terminate thb struggle at their pleasure
and if tbey don't do it, no one will be to
blame but themselves.
t ith about 95 per cent of all the business
of tho country dono on credit or with time
notes, to be discounted at a high rato of in
terest, the useless cost of doing business is
enormous, and as tho laborer cannot possibly
earn more than an increase of C per cent on
the capital which employs it, and get a de
cent living, the hapless poverty and depend
ence of the laborer is certain, and tho ruin of
the business capitalist is only a question of
time ; and all to promoto the interest of spec
ulative capitalists, who never employ a cent
in wealth-producing labor, but whoso boIo
purpose it is to live by their wits, in procur
ing unjust legislation by bribery and corrup
tion, to enable them to live by tho labor and
industry of others.
To prove tho necessity of a speedy reform
iu tho monetary system.tho next step in order
is to prove is that the deficiency of coin cannot
supplemented by Bank Currency, as it is a
contracted and constantly contracting curren
cy, costly, useless and dangerous, and a gross
fraud on tho rights of tho people, who can
furnish themselves with par uionoy, which
will not cost them any interest for tho uso of;
but on tho contrary will pay debts bearing in
terett, which it requires labor to earn tho
money to pay tho taxes to pay useless inter
est on tho publio debt. This par money will
cost the pcoplo very little to make and will
bring a dollar to tho Federal Treasury for ev
ery dollar that goes out. Tho nature and in
efficiency of Bank currency will bo shown in
the next art.cle.
To properly understand tho former article
of tho 11th Instant, it is necessary to read it in
connection with the following correction of
errors therein :
In reference to how gold is found read pla
ce n, instead of plaM. In tho quotation from
Job read "fine" instead of find. Instead of

mado puio read mado par. Instead of gold
coin "business," read gold coin 'Jiumbugt."
Instead of the gold dollar of 371 grains, read
silver itollitr, instead ol ton parts hue.

Instead nf duo of valuo, read chief value,
Instead of representation read representative

that body, noticeablo among which nro, the
bill to prevent tho cremation or burning of
utnan bodies after death, making Ibis
ractlce a misdemeanor punishable with n
fine not less than $500 nor mora than $1,
000, with Imprisonment.
The bill prohibiting tho glf. or salo of
tobacco to minors, nnd tho bill making It a
misdemeanor to ''treat" to Intoxicating
drinks. These measures, especially tho last
mentioned, provoke considerable amusement
amongst members.
Tho bill creating a Stato banking depart
ment has at least passed from tho hands of
the Scuste, and is now in tho II ouso subject
to the tender mercies of that branch. It
passed the Senate by one of a majority, one
Democrat voting for it, Senator Bussey of
York.
The Philadelphia Itecorders bill, has left
the House and has passed a first reading in
the Senate.
Ono of the most warmly contested bills
n the Houso during this session has been
the one prohibiting tho opening of places
of nmusement on Sunday, in cases where n
fee for admission is charged. As before
stated this hill was intended to close up tho
Zoological in Philadelphia on Sunday but
when it was introduced petitions in favor
of Its pasagp poured in from all parts of tho
State. The Philadelphia members made n
dead seligalust it, and finally on Monday
night succeeded In killing it, after consider
able filibustering on part of friends to pre
vent its consideration, it was pressed to n
vote aud defeated by 78naystofi6yea,which
disposes of the bill finally as it had previously
been once reconsidered aud cannot be again
brought up.
Another measure which received its quietus
on Monday inlit was the bill requiring engi
neers of steam engines and boilers to take out
a license. Defeat is the common fato of bills
ou final pasiage which are considered in the
slim Hulls" which aro always found on a
Monday night.
lesterday two inipnr'ni.t measures were
passed finally by the H"iise.
The new County bill received 151 yeas to
20 nays and was sent to tho Senate. This
measure is not a gem-nil bill but is intended
to divide Luzerne County and make tho
new County of Lackawanna. Tho friends
of tho bid are jubilant.
The hilt to prevent tha taking nnd charg
ing more than a legal rate of interest was
this year especially championed by Speaker
Myer. On its final p.is-ago yesterday, Os-
burne of Philadelphia attempted, but failed
to have a proviso exempting Building As'
sociations inserted. The yeas and nays were
called on the final passage of the bill and
appeared to have resulted favorably. Cer
tain members demanded at this point that
their names should be recorded or corrections
to be made In tho manner in which they had
been recorded which corrections would havo
changed the result, the Speaker refused to
allow any such changes and so the bill was
declared passed in the midst of great excite'
ment and uproar in the House.
The senate investigating committee in th
corporation tax case, resumed its sittings
on Saturday last. Sessions were also held
to day. The only new fact lately
developed is that in addition to the $10,000
fee paid to Sinionton and Oimstead, by the
state, the Attorney General received a fee
of $5,000 In tho case from the company in
the nature of the b per cent allowed that of
ficer for collections of money duo the com
monwealth.
The death of Senator Nsglo of Philadel
phia,which has cast a sadness over tho mem
bers, has also prevented tho Senate from
doing much work this week. The Hall of
the Senate is draped in mourning.
The Democratic Stato Committee which
met here yesterday, has fixed Pittsburgh as
tho place, and May 22nd as the time for the
ncxtState Convention.
B.
The Law or the Itond.
Judge Mc Derneott, of Mercer county laid
down tho law of the road as follows :
"First. Persons driving in opposite di
rections and meeting in the highway must
turn to the right as tho law directs, and each
ono must give sufficient room for the other
to pass. If the collision should occur and
It should satisfactorily appear tbat ono had
kept the centre of tho road and had not giv
en the other sufficient room to pass, the first
party would be responsible, civilly, for any
damages resulting from his negligence, and
also criminally for an assault and battery.
If both parties should keep in the middle of
the road both would be guilty of negligence,
but neither could maintain a civil action
against the other. Eacli would be guilty
of the breach of the peace.
Second. When parties aro traveling on
the Banie road aud the one behind comes up
to his fellow, who refuses to let him pass,
and who purposely and maliciously retards
his progress, tho one behind must bide his
time. Ho cannot take tho law in his own
hands and punish the man who causelessly
keeps blm back, but he has a remedy at law
by an action of of damages. Or if one comes
up behind another and recklessly undertakes
to pass him, and thereby inflicts damage
upon the one in front, he Is not only guilty
of committing an assault and battery, but is
responsible in damages to the party injured.
A person in front has no right to keep one
behind him back who desires to drive faster;
if he does he is liable to civil damages but
the party in passing must not do so as to in
flict any Injury upon the other,"
Tho Mexican pcoplo aro fhowingan energy
that should win them credit and honor, in
their efforts to meet tho payment of the debt
duo tho United States. Don Victoriana
Nicvcs, a millionaire of Carmen Island in tho
Gulf of California, has persoually contributed
$10,000 toward tho fund for tho settlement of
tho American claim, and many other citizens
are giving in proportion to their means. The
proceeds of theatrical entertainments aro al
so being forwarded to the national author!'
tics for tho same patriotic use.
II tica became tired of the way her chari
ties were managed. There were great ex
pendltures and still greater complaints. So,
under belief that the elimination of politics
must result In a more economical adminis
tration, she created a non-partisan charities
board. This was five years ago, and the
plan has since been thoroughly tested. For
the preceding five years the cost of main
tabling the city poor and the hospital had
been $157,782. Under the new board.ln face
of supplying much more assistance, the cost
was $83,585, the work house was made
to yield a profit of $1,000, and there were
no complaints, This furnishes other cities
with food fur reflection. Kr,

The bill presented in tho legislature by
tho member from Delaware cnuuty, making
it n misdemeanor, punishnble by fine and
imprisonment, for any person to purchase
at any public drinking place, intoxicating
drink "for any person other than himself,"
is well received. It was at once referred to
the committee on vice and Immorality and
they reported it Friday afternoon with an
affirmative recommendation. Of all perni
cious American practices that of "treating'
is perhaps tho worst, and if any plan can be
devised to successfully break it up the inven'
tor should be honored with a monument
when he dies. This practico is unknown in
many European countries. If a man desires
a glass of beer or other stimulant, ho goes
to a drinking place and purchases it, no
matter how many of his friends may bo
present, and drinks without inviting them
to join him at his expense. They would con
sider it a breach of etiquette, almost, to be
invited to drink by another. In this country
it is tho reyerse. The custom is peculiarly
American, and the sooner it is broken up
tho better it will be fur ail hands. And the
Delaware county member will receive the
thanks of a large class for his efforts to bring
about ono ot the very best reforms of tho
day. Politicians, above all others, should
rise up and assist liim to put the bill through
for it would save them hundreds ot dol
lars. Gazette and Bulletin.
We heartily endorse tho above, but would
remark that a similar bill was presented by
the senior editor of tho Coi.umuiax to the
Legislature in 1874, and was smothered in
Committee. At least two-thirds of the drink
ing business is done under the treating pro'
cess.
