HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
BA D LE;;S, BAD BREASTS, SORES AND ULCERS.
All descriptions of sores are remediable by the proper
and Diligent aye c•f this inestimable preparation. To at
tempt to cure bail legs by plastering the edges of the
wound together is a folly ; for should the skin unite, a bog
gy diseased condition remains underneath to break out
with tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and
successful treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce
the intlainniation in and about the wound and to soothe
the neighboring parts by rubbing in plenty of the Oint
ment as salt is forced ihto meat. This will cause the
malignant humors to be drained off from the hard, swol
len and discolored parts round about the wound, sore, or
ulcer, and when these humors are removed, the wounds
themselves will soon heal ; warm bread and water poul
tices applied over the affected parts, after the Ointment
has been well rubbed in, will soothe and soften the same,
arid greatly assist that cure. There is a description of
ulcer. sore and swelltng, which need nut be named here,
attendant upon the follies of youth, and for which this
Ointment is urgently recommended as a sovereign reme
dy. Jut curing sueli poisonous sores it never fails to restore
the system to a healthy state if the Pills be taken accord
ing to the printed instructions.
DIPTHERIA, ITLCIRATED SORE THROAT, AND
SCARLET AND OTHER FEVERS.
Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rub:
biug the Ointment three times a day into the chest, throat,
and neck of the patient, it will soon penetrate, and give
immediate relief. Medicine taken by the mouth must
operate upon the whole system ere its influence can be
felt in any local part, whereas the Ointment will do its
work at once. Whoever tries the unguent in the above
manner fur the diseases named, or any similar disorders
affecting the chest and throat, will find themselves re
lie% ed as by a charm. All sufferers from these complaints
should envelop the throat at bedtime in a large bread and
water poultice, after the Ointment has been well rubbed
in ; it will greatly assist the cure of the throat and chest.
To allay the fever and lessen the inflammation, eight or
ten Pills should he taken night and morning. The Oint
ment will produce perspiration, the grand essential in all
cases of fevers, sore thrust, or where there might be an
oppression of the chest, either from asthma ur other
CUUSeS.
PILES, FISTULAS, STRICTURES.
:The aloive clans of complaints will be removed by night
ly ffirmenting the parts with warm water, and then by
most effectually rubbing in the Ointment. Persons suffer
ing from these direful- complaints should lose not a mo
ment in arresting their progress. It should be understood
that it in not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on
the affected parts, but it must be well rubbed in fora con
siderable time two or three times a day, that it may be
taken into the system, whence It will remove anj hidden
sore or wound as effectually as though palpable to the
eye. There again bread and water poultices, after the
rubbing in of the Ointment, will do great service. This is
the only sure treatment for females, cases of cancer
in the stomach, or where there may be a general bearing
down.
INDISCRETIONS OF YOUTH;-SORES AND ULCERS.
Blotches. as also swellings, can, with certainty, be radi
cally cured if the Ointment be used freely, and the Pills
Mken bight and morning, as recommended in the printed
instructions. When treated in any other way they only
dry up iu ame place to break out in another; whereas
this ointment will remove the humor front the system,
and leave the patient a vigorous and healthy being.—
It will require time with the use of the Pills to insure a
lasting cure.
DROPSD AL SWELLINGS PARALYSIS, AND STIFF
JOINTS.
Although the above complaints differ widely in their
origin and nature, yet they all require ocal treatment.—
Many of the worst cases, of such diseases, will yield in a
comparatively short splice of time when this Ointment is
diligently rutted into the parts affected, even after every
other means have failed. In all serious maladies the Pills
should be taken according to the printed directions ac
companying each box.
Both the Ointment and Pills ehoubl be used in the follow
ing cases :

"Are Ycu a Mason ?"
Rev. Mr. Magill, rector of St Paul's Church,
Pereu, Illieoie, being asked the above question by
a lady responded in the following verses:
I am one of a band,
Who will faithfully stand,
In the bonds of affection and love;
I have knocked at the door,
Once wretched and poor,
And there for admission I stood.
Ry the help of a!riend,.
Who assistance did lend,
I sucieeded an entrance to gain ;
Was received in the West,
By command from the East,
But not without feeling some pain.
Here my conscience was taught
With a moral quite fraught,
With sentiment holy and true,
Then onward I traveled,
To have it unraveled
What Hiram intended to do.
Very soon to the East
I made known my request,
And "light" my command did attend;
When lo! I perceived,
In due form received,
A Master, and Brother and Friend.
Thus far have I stated,
And simply related
What happened when I was made free;
But I ve "passed" since then,
And was raised up again
To a sublime and ancient degree.
Then onward I marched,
That I might be "Arched,"
And find owt those treasures long lost,
When, behold! a bright flame
From the midst of which came,
A voice which my ears did accost
Through the "wails" I then went
And successful at length,
The "Sancte.m Sanctorum" to find ;
By the "Signet" I gained
And quickly obtained,
Employment which suited my mind.
In the depths I then wrought,
And most carefully sought
For treasures so long hidden there;
And by labor and toil,
I discovered rich spoils
Which are kept by the craft with duo care.
Having further arrived
I further contri ed
Among the valiant Knights to appear, ,
And as pilgrim and knight,
I stood ready to fight,
Nor Saracen foe did I HEAn.
For the widow distressed,
There's a cord in my breast ;
For the helpless and orphans I feel ;
And my sword I could draw,
To maintain the pure law
Which the day of Masons reveal.
Thus have I revealed,
(Yet wisely concealed,)
What the "Free and accepted" well know;
I am one of the band,
Who will faithfully stand,
As a brother wherever I go
*tory--(g)etitr.
FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
At the dead of night there was a cry :
'Fire, fire, fire !"
Even in a great city, where thousands
are at hand to render aid, it is a terrible
cry at that hour. But on a lonely planta
tion how inexpressibly awful!
The mistress of the mansion, awaking
at the cry, sprang fromher bed, and bur
riedly began to dress, gazing around be
wildered. For a moment she was con•
scious only that her husband was absent.
She was recalled to something like herself
by the shrieks of the maid who slept in
the room, and who, instead of assisting her
toilet, was pointing, with terrible gesticu
lations, to the ruddy reflection playing
against the trees in front of the house.
Suddenly, to add to the confusion of the
scene, the chamber door was flung open,
and a crowd of female servants rushed in,
flocking affrightedly together like a covey
pursued by the sportsman. They closed
around Mrs. Stewart's bed, screaming,
weeping, wringing
their hands, and de
priving her of whatlittle presence of mind
had been left.
"Oh ! missus, we shall be 'burned to
death, we shall all of us. The fire has
caught the staircase. The blessed lord hab
mercy on us !" These, and similar excla
mations, filled the air and distracted her
attention.
Meantime the conflagration became more
serious each minute. Had that terrified
gruup listened, they could have heard the
roar of the flames in the hall outside, and
the crackling sound that announced the
approach of the fire to the woodwork near
the staircase, and the voice of Juba, a male
servant, warning them that if they would
save their lives, their flight must be in
stunt. But they only huddled the closer
together, sobbing, moaning and embracing
one another frantically.
"Fly," he cried, breathlessly, "this mo
ment, or you'll be too late." And glanc
ing rapidly around the room, he snatched
the rich cover from the centre table, which
stood in the middle of the apartment,
covered with books, pretty trifles and
flowers in vases. This he threw around
his mistress, exclaiming, "It will keep the
fire from catching. Come."
The sight of his face had reassured his
mistress. Juba was about her own age,
had been born in her father's family, .and
bad always exhibited the most devoted at
tachment to herself personae. Above
all the servants on the plantation, he was
distinguished for a strict, religious per
formance of his duties, for Juba was con
sistently pious. He was also shrewd, and
ready in every emergency, and Mrs. Stew
art felt that lie would save her, even at
the cost of his life.
P it
CA
C•••
Juba, even while speiking, had seized
her band and dragged her toward the
staircase. But now a gust of wind drove
such volumes of thick - , black smoke to
ward them, that she was almost suffocated,
and she paused, unable to proceed. It
was not a time to hesitate, so Juba, snatch
ing her in his arms as he would a child,
and dragging the cover entirely over her
face, dashed into the rolling volumes of
smoke, and down the great staircase.
He was not a moment too soon. Scarcely
had he reached the bottom, followed by
the affrighted maids, before tha passage
was closed entirely by a dense wall of
flame. Neither he nor the female servants
escaped entirely unhurt. But the table
cover effectually protected Mrs. Stewart.
Juba had scarcely, however, placed his
mistress safely on the lawn, before she
started up, crying, "Where is the baby ?
Who has seen the child ! Oh ! it is in the
house yet." And she would have rushed
toward the blazing doorway if she had not
been instantly and I;)rcibly detained.

The servants looked at each other in
dismay. In the suddenness with which
the conflagration had spread, and in the
excitement of their mistress' danger, no
body had thought of the child. It was
the only one, a boy about two years old,
who slept with his nurse, or "mammy," as
she was called in the household, in a back
room in the upper story. Mrs. Stewart's
first thought on her escape had been to
look for her darling ; and but for this the
absence of the child might have been even
longer overlooked.
HUNTINGDON, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1876.
The servants, we say, looked at each
other in dismay. The hall of the house
was now all in a flame, the fire pouring
out through the doorways as from the
mouth of a furnace, so that ingress from
that path was impossible. Most of the
second story was also burning, and the en
tire first floor, for the conflagration had
broken out there originally. To reach the
apartment where the nurse, probably par
alyzed by fear, was still with the child,
seemed out of the question entirely.
But there was one who determined to
make the attempt. The sight of the
mother's face, and the sound of her broken
moans, as she sank into the arms of those
who restrained her, exhausted by her
struggles to escape, determined Juba to
try at least to rescue his young master.
"I will go, missus," he said, "don't cry
no more."
He looked around, as he spoke. for
means of scaling the second story. There
was no ladder, and only one staircase, but
the boughs of an ornamental tree, that
overshadowed the house, fortunately held
out a means of access to a bold heart and
a strong arm. Not stopping even to hear
his mistress' thanks, he clambered up the
tree, raa out on the limb, and dropping on
the roof, disappeared within the dwelling.
How breathless were the moments that
ensu A. The flames were spreading with
frightful rapidity. The eaves of the build
ing began to smoke, showing that the fire
had reached the roof, and soon after the
whole line of them flashed into conflagra
tion. Meantime the lurid elements poured
out from the windows, ran upward licking
the combustible front, and streamed in a
waving, dazzling pyramid, high over the
top of the mansion, far into the blue firma
ment. Millions of sparks, accompanied
by volumes of rolling smoke, sailed down
the sky before the breeze, completely ob
scuring the heavens at intervals, though
occasionally this thick canopy partially
blowing aside, the calm moon was seen,
peacefully shining down through the rent,
in strange contrast to the otherwise terrific
scene. The roar of the conflagration had
now become intensely loud; and, to add to
the horror, there began to be heard the
awful sound of timbers fulling within the
house.
Mrs. Stewart had watched the fire in
silence, her hands clasped, and her lips
parted, ever since Juba had disappeared
within the house. Each moment appeared
an age to her. At last the suspense, thus
lengthened out interminably, as it seemed,
became intolerable.
"Oh ! it is vain," she cried, making a
new effort to rush into the flames, "he
cannot find my boy. Let me go myself.
For the love of God—"
But at that instant, through the smoke
that almost hid the only window that was
not already on fire, appeared the faithful
Juba, holding aloft the infant. The flames
were all around, and in a moment more
would overtake him. lie wade a rapid
gesture for some one to approach.
Four of the males, comprehending his
wish, snatched a blanket and rushed
promptly forward. The heat was intoler
able, but they disregarded it, and standing
beneath the window, with the blanket out
stretched, they shouted to Juba to throw
the child toward them. The infant fell
while they were speaking, was caught
safely in the blanket, and was hurried
immediately to Mrs. Stewart, who clasped
it to her bosom with frantic delight. The
whole was the work of less time than we
have taken to describe it.
But simultaneously a terrific crash was
heard, that made the very earth tremble
beneath the spectators ; a huge column of
sm3ke shot up towards the sky, from where
the roof had been ; and, as if propelled
from a force pump, a gush of intense flame
followed. reaching far up into the highest
heaven.
The crowd, one and all, gasped for
breath. Then came a deep, long drawn
sigh. For the roof and floors had evidently
fallen in ; and the faithful Juba, alas
was nowhere to be seen.
A dozen persons rushed toward the
building, and, until driven back by the
beat, stood close by the window where he
had been latest visible. They flattered
themselves that there had been time enough
for him to leap.
But it was now plain that this had not
been the case. He most probably felt the
floor giving away before he threw the
child, and if so this explained the cause
of his haste. They said this to each other
as they fell back,
But there was little time for words.—
Scarcely had this thought been exchanged,
before there was another crash, and with
a momentary swaying motion, almost the
entire building fell in, so that what had
been a stately mansion an hour before,
was now only a shapeless pile of blazing
timbers.
The shouts, the exclamations, the sob•
bins which filled the air but the instant
before, ceased again at this appalling
spectacle. Neighbor looked at neighbor,
aghast with horror, the lurid light adding
a wild, spectral look to each inquiring
face. Then a simultaneous cry rose from
the crowd. that Juba and the old nurse
were buried in the ruins.
But suddenly, from out of the flame and
smoke, in the direction where the generous
slave had last been seen, what seemed a
human figure began to emerge, crawling
painfully on hands and knees. A human
figure, yet crushed almost out of shape of
humanity, but still with life in it, for it
moved.
And hark ! a voice. A full, deep voice,
coming from that mangled body. What
did it say ?
Not words of pain, reader, but words of
joy; words that you and I can bless God
if we can say, when dying.
They were words such as martyrs use
at the stake, or among the lions. "Halle
lujah!" Nothing more. But continually,
"hallelujah !"
For was he not a martyr. too? Ile had
died to save his master's child. Oh ! he
was both hero and martyr. And now that
he had "fought the good fight," that the
"goal was won," God gave him strength
to forget the agony of his crisped and
mangled body, and to remember only that
he was going to bliss everlasting:.
PAT bought a sheep's head, and was
writing down the receipt fir cooking it
when a dog made off with it. Pat gave
chase a little way, shouting, "Come back
wid me sheep's head, ye robber, ye :" but
after a stiff run had to give in, dead-beat,
when he consoled himself with the remark,
"N fiver moind ; he hasn't the resate to
make it ready."

TILE FAST MAIL.
The continuance of the fast mail which
some of the papers are making so much
fuss about, excites no feeling here. It
was a humbug and a blunder from the
first, and never was of any use to any
class but the morning papers of New York.
Business closes here at 6 P. M., and all
the mail for the day is put into the office
at that hour. It leaves by the regular ex
press at 8:30, arriving at Cleveland the
next night at 7, at Toledo at 11:341, and
at Chicago the next morning at 8. Now
the fast mail leaves New York at 4 in the
motning, and gets into Toledo, Cleveland
and Chicago, at practically the same hour
as the regular train. There was in it no
earthly use to the business men either of the
east or west, and the expense of the extra
train was an entirely useless expenditure.
New York sends out each week over 10,-
000 sacks of mail matter that originates
in the city, besides the amount of matter
that comes here for distribution. But the
Government ought not to pay for special
trains just to give the New York papers
an advantage over other cities, and that
was all the good effected by the fast mail
train. It is well if it is dead.
THE PNEUMATIC TUIIE
An experiment is being tried in this
city, or rather has been tried, that will
work a revolution in the transmission of
mail matter. Hollow tubes have been laid
from the main office of the Western Union
Telegraph Company to its branches. In
these hollow tubes arc placed leather box
es, containing messages—the air is exhaus
ted, and in a second the dispatch is at the
other end of the route. The Pneumatic
Tube is cheaper than telegraphing for mes
sages of any length, and as the experiment
has proved to be entirely successful, tubes
are to be laid to Philadelphia and Wash
ington very soon. The Tate will be some
thing more than postage, of course, but it
will be nothing as compared to telegraph
ing, as a four-page letter can be sent as
cheaply as ten words. Suppose the inven
tive genius of the age should apply this
idea to passenger travel ! how would it
seem to be boxed up, put in a tube, and
sent from Chicago to New York in an
hour ? It may come to that.
EMIGRANTS FROM A NEW SOURCE.
We have emigrants from all the coun
tries of the world but Arabia, and now
that country has contributed its quota
Nine Arab stone cutters having heard Lb
ulous accounts of the wages that were be
ing paid in this country, made their way
hither, and landed in New York last week.
The poor fellows gould not speak a word of
English or any other language that could
be understood by any one here, and only
by signs did they make their wants known.
They were disappointed to find that thous
ands of stone cutters were out of work, and
as they had no means, of course they tOund
themselves in Bellevue Hospital, living at
the expense of the city. They are tall, in
telligent., fine looking men, and having
been given tools, showed wonderful profi
ciency in their art. What is to become of
them heaven only knows. There isn't
vork for one-half the mechanics here, and
new-comers fare badly. We could spare
Arabia enough stone cutters to build over
its entire territory.
THE lIEAT AND HEALTH
Never in the history of the city has
there been so long a term of' heat. For al
most a mouth the thermometer has kept
up into the nineties, and for many days to
gether going above a hundred ; right along
through the night as well as day. The
mortality among children has been fright
ful. In the lower part of the city where
they are huddled together in badly venti
lated dens, where a hundred exist in room
insufficient for a single family, the poor in
nocents have died by the thousand. The
physicians and charities have done all that
was possible, but to little purpose. The
children could not live in an atmosphere
heated like a furnace, in which air could
not come ; and then their food was not
such as would enable them to withstand
the debilitating effects of the heat. and so,
despite of' doctor and nurse, the little ones
went by the thousand. In one of those
human hives in the lower part of the city,
one hundred and fifty children died during
the month.
THE ICE QUESTION
And while the heat is so intense, and,
consequently, the uses for ice multiplying,
the ice companies, in the most heartless
manner, have doubled the price. No one
out of New York can appreciate how op:
pressive such a raise is. The water runs on
an average fifty miles in pipes, and before
it reaches the consumer is as warm as dish
water. In fact it is entirely unfit for use.
The ice business is in the hands of two
companies, and, being thus placed, it is a
huge monopoly. To erect ice-houses on
the Hudson, to build depots in the city, to
buy thousands of horses, and to fit up thous
ands of wagons to deliver the ice, requires
so much capital that competition is impos
sible, and the whole city is left at the mer
cy of the two great corporations that are
in the business. They fix their own pri
ces and terms, and the people are compelled
to submit. Consequently the thousands
of people who were using only half what
they should before the raise, will be com
pelled to do without it altogether, and a
fearful increase of mortality may bt. looked
for. But the managers of the ice compa
nies will not only have ice enough for
their champagne, but they will have more
champagne for their ice. It is a horrible
selfish world.
THE TILTONS
The Tiltons are still in trouble. Theo
dore has taken the boy Ralph to his fath
er's house in New Jersey, leaving Mrs. I'.
only Go e of the children, at which the lady
demurs, and will take legal steps to get
possession. Mrs Tilton is in close straits
to live. She has kept boarders, but fail
ing in that, has been reduced to the ne
cessity of sewing by the day. Mr. Tilton
has sent her money time and again, but
she has stubbornly refused to accept as
sistance from him in any fOrtn. Tilton
has tried to get money to her by round
about ways, so that she should not know
that it came from him, but in every in
stance she has detected his good intentions,
and returned it. In one instance she sent
back money that came from a particular
friend of her mother, for fear that it came
from Theodore, and no assertions to the
contrary could make her believe but that
he sent it. She is a stubborn little wo
man. and will die before she will be under
obligation to him. The ohl scandal very
likely to bo opened again. By the way,
Mr. Beecher ought to take her to the
White 3lountains. She is the only sufferer
Prow the great :ieandal.
PAY Full LITTRATURE
Occasionally :in Uncle Tom's Cabin
makes for its author Ci1t,1,1,0 or ?;0,00n).
and immediately every scribbler in the
country seizes pen and paper, and eipPets
to do likewise. They diseover that this
happens only ones in a century. George
Wni. Curtis tiev•.r made E 45.00 1, a yrar
with his pen. Itri.t isn't worth a dol
lar, and never haul one ahead; 14-ant
IVhite has a place in the Custom House,
or he would starve, and Parton make.
about $5,000 a year out of fugitive writing,
and he finds it hard to get on. nail Ham
ilton never received $6,0100 in her !it'd for
her work. In short. literature is the worst
paid of all professions. and whoev'r •a
pects to live by it may expect to live no
short rations. I know of hitrire.6 of
gifted men and w .men who hive walked
the streets for years with their intinntwriptit.
and who have not averaged 4519 a week
for their work. The market is overstocked
with merely good work, and it is only the
strongest who even live. Keep out of it.
unless yon are sure you ar, one ur the
elect.
Iit'SINESS
is Mill dead. with no signs of re,urrection.
The weather keeps everybody out of New
York, and the demoralized condition of
trade everywhere keeps merchants from
buying. The city is dead. Failures are
less frequent. but it is only beeau..e there
have been so many of them heretofore.
The weak ones are all wedded ,ut.
IN POLITICS
I have to report that Tilden is losing ev•
cry day, and Hayes and Wheeler are rain
ing. The •Reform" Demoeracy, headed
by Morrissey and Tweed's old friends, have
shown t heir hands too soon. The merchants
and solid men have too painful a remem
brance of Tweed times, to put power in
their hands again. New York will t►ive
the Republican ticket a majority as certain
as fate. Make no mistake about it, the
Empire State is sure for Hayes.
THE MENONITL4.
Five hundred Menonites arrived 1a,4
week and are now on their way to Nebras
ka. These emigrants are the best that come
to the country. They are an intelligent
hardy people, and aro rich. In this party
there was an average of $1,300 in gold per
head. They are excellent farmers. and
make first-class citizens. Over 13,41410
more are preparing to come. The more
the better. I't E:TRI
Mr. Wheeler's Letter of Acceptance.
111ALosE, July 15, 1876.
The lion. Edward Mel'hericon, 'tad othfrs
egmLn4ittef()f the Ripuhlirgia Na
tiwoil Convention.
GENTLEMEN : I received, on the rah
inst., your communication advising me
that I had been unanimously nominated
by the National Convention of the Repub
lican party, held at Cincinnati, on the
14th ult., lbr the office of Vice President
of the United States, and requesting my
acceptance of the same, and asking my at
tention to the summary of Republican
doctrines contained in the platform adop
ted by the Convention. A nomination
made with such unanimity implies a eon
fidence,on the part of the Convention,
which inspires my profound gratitude, it is
accepted with a sense of respo.sibility which
way follow. If' elected, I shall endeavor
to perform the duties of the office in the
fear of the Supreme ruler, and in the in
terest of the whole country.
To the summary of doctrines enunciated
by the Convention I give my cordial as
sent. The Republican party has intrench
ed it► the orzanie law of our land the doc
trine that liberty is the supreme. nnch:►ng
able law for every foot of Americii
it is the mission of that party to give full
effect to this principle, by securing to
every American citizen complete lihqty
and exact equality in the exercise of all
civil, political, and public rights. This
will be accomplished only when the Amer
ican citizen, without regard to color, shall
wear this panoply of citizenship as full sad
securely in the canebreaks of Louisiana as
on the banks of the St. Lawrence.
Upon the question of our Southern re
lations, my views were recently expressed !
as a member of a Committee of the United
States House of Representatives upon
Southern affairs, those views remain un
changed as thus expressed. "We of' the
North delude ourselves in expecting that the
masses of the South, so far behind in
many of the attributes of enlightened im
provement and civilization, are, in the
brief period of ten years or fifteen years,
to be transformed into our model Northern
communities. That can only come through
a long course of patient waiting, to which
no one can now set certain bounds. There
will be a good deal of unavoidable friction,
which will call for forebarance, and which
will have to be relieved by the temperate,
fostering care of the Government. One
of the most potent, if not indispensable
agencies in this direction will be the de
vising of some system to aid in the educa
tion of the masses. The fact that there
are whole counties in Louirana in which
there is not a solitary school house is full of
suggestion. We compelled these people
to remain in the Union, and now our fluty
and interest demand that we leave no just
means untried to make them good, loyal
citizens. How to diminish the friction.
how to stimulate the elevation of this por
tion of our country, are problem's that ad
dress themselves to our best and wisest
statemanship. The foundation for these
efforts must be laid in satisfying the South
ern people that they are to have equal,
exact justice accorded to them. rave
them to the fullest extent, every blessing
which the Government, confers upon her
most favored ; give no cause for complaint.
and then hold them by every necessary
means to an exact rigid observance of all
their duties and obligations under the
Constitution and its amendments ; to se
cure to all within their borders, manhood
and citizenship, with every right thereto
bE mging.
. •e just obligation to the public credi
tors created when the 4 ;orernotent was in
the throes of threatened dissolution. as an
indispensible condition of its salvation,
guaranteed by the lives and blood of thous
ands of its brave defenders. are to be kept
with religious faith, as are all the pledges
subsidiary thereto, and confirmatory there
of'. In my judgement the pledge of Con
gress of January 14, 1575, for the re
demption of notes of the United States in
coin, is the plighted faith of the nation
and national honer, simply honesty and
justice to the people whose prominent wel
fare and prosperity are dependent upon
true money as the basis of their pecuniary
