law and was admitted to the bar of
Ashtabula county, Ohio, lS'JS, and he
has resided in the same county ever
since. In 1835 he was elected prose
cuting attorney, and in 1S37 to the
State Senate, in which he served
three terms. In 1847 he was cboseu
president judge of the third judicial
district of the state of his adoption,
and in 1831 was elected to the United
States Senate, and re-elected in 1857
and in 1863.

The Dollar of the Sons.
PHILADELPHIA'S MINT GETTING
READY TO MAKE THE WHITE CART
WHEEL CURRENCY.
Superintendent of the Mint ex-Governor
James Pollock, says that the
coinage of the new silver dollar will
. begin in about two weeks, by which
time the dies, stamps and the machin
ery necessary will be in working or
der. Yesterday Superintendent Pol
lock received information from Wash
ington that the design for the new
dollar of 412i era Ins fiirnlshpil hv Mr.
Geo. T. Morgan had been approved by
the Secretary, out of the numerous
devices submitted to him. The work
of preparing for its coinage will im
mediately begin. The director for
some time past has had before him
two designs, the one selected and
another known as the "Barber de
sign." The former is the work of Mr.
George T. Morgan, an English de
signer, who for some years was em
ployed in the Royal Mint at London.
Underact of Congress the director is
authorized to employ skilled artists to
make designs and engrave dies for the
manufacture of our coins and about a
year and a half ago he communicated
with the deputy master of the Royal
Mint, asking him if he could recom
mend a good designer. After much
hesitation, owing to a strong disincli
nation to send over one of their own
and best designers, they did send Mr.
Morgan, who has been in this city
since October, 1876. He is at present
engaged In designing the medul of
President Hayes, a custom which Is
pursued in every administration. He
has already spent some time with the
President, and is executing an excel
lent profile of him. The new dollar,
on its obverse side, has the typical
head of Liberty, with the liberty cap
and a wreath of wheat and cotton leaf
and full flowing hair, partially cov
ered, of course, by the cap. Above
the head is the semi. circular motto
"E. Pluribus Unum" in Roman capi
tals, and the balance of the circle be
ing composed of thirteen stars, while
the year of manufacture, as in the old
pieces, is placed at the bottom of the
eoin. The reverse shows what is
known in heraldic terms as the "dis
played eagle" with the wing-tips up ;
an olive branch in the right talons
and arrows in the left, the bird en
circled by a laurel wrtath, and imme
diately over its head is the motto, in
German text, "In God We Trust,"
and still above that the words "United
States of America," while just beneath
the laurel wreath are the words "One
Dollar." The difference in the thick
nessof the new coin and the trade
dollar is infinitesimal and impercepti
ble except upon close comparison.
Superintendent Pollock says that in
two weeks he will begin the active
coinage of the new dollar. He has
ro.Aivpfl $285,649.45 worth of silver
from New York, but this, ho says, is a
mere flea-bite, the silver coinage capa
city of the mint being more than $2,-
000,000 per month. It is not expected,
however, that this capacity will be
taxed, the bulk of the coinage being
done at the branch mints at Carson
City, Nevada, and San Francisco. It
will be a month at least, however, be
fore the coinage can begin at those
places, and it is a fact upon which the
officials of the Mint pride themselves
' not a little that, as the first dollar of
the daddies was struck in tbu city, so

From the riillauclphla Times, March 1st.
The Silver Bill a Law.
President Hayes vetoed the silver
bill yesterday, stating his reasons
briefly, but sensibly and pointedly.
The veto is a substantial repetition of
his views expressed In his recent an
nual message, and presents no argu
ment that had not been considered by
Senators and Congressmen before the
bill was sent to the Executive. It
was a proper record for hiin to make,
and what he has said was due to the
world from the Chief Magistrate of
the Republic
The bill was promptly taken up in
the House after the reading of the
veto, and passed by a vote of 190 to 73,
being 17 more than a constitutional
majority. The Senate considered the
bill at once when the action of the
House was reported, nd it was there
passed by a vote of 40 to 19, being S
more than the requisite number.
Thus the silver bill has become a law
over the veto of the President, and -It
now is the properly ordained financial
policy of the nation.
While we sympathize in the main
with the particular objections to the
measure as stated in the Presidential
veto, we do not regret its passage over
the objections of the Executive. Had
it been possible to correct the bill in
conformity with the suggestions of
the veto message, and there end legis
lation on the silver question, we
should have been glad to see the veto
sustained; but we must deal with
things as they are, and not from the
standpoint of what, at present, maybe
accepted as impractical theories. In
short, we preferred the passage of the
present bill to the Inevitable passage
of a worse one, and the Irritating and
unsettling agitation that must have
followed an appeal by Congress from
the President to the country in the
present distempered condition of the
public mind on the subject. In such
a struggle, President Hayes has not an
attribute of popular strength to aid
his cause, for his power has been
wasted away by indecision anil self
coutradictionsuutil every doubt would
be resolved against him by the masses
of all parties. J
Had the veto been sustained by
either House, the future business of
the present session of Cougress would
be confined to the agitation of the
financial question. Scores of bills
would be pressed upon the two Houses;
scores of scores of speeches would be
made to inflame the prejudices and
necessities of every locality, and
reason would be given an indefinite
recess in Congressional debates until
the administration yielded to a worse
measure, or the country became pre
pared to overthrow our present finan
cial structure by the most revolution
ary and destructive statutes. The
nation wants silver currency. It
could have been given just as the
President desired it, had he been any
thing more than a scarcely visible
bump on a log about Washington and
had the money centres of the nation
understood that the people will have
their own way once in awhile; but
the President played ornamental
cypher and the moneyed men de
nounced the whole silver movement
as a fraud, and the result is that the
people have not only resolved to have
their own way, but to have their own
way of having their own way. And
now silver is reinonetlzed; it is an un
limited legal tender; it is just as good
as greenbacks, for they are redeem
able in it; it will jostle gold out of
commercial transactions and set it
aside as a fancy speculative commod
ity, and It will be practically unknown
in the mart3 of industry and trade.
And now the country wants rest.
Its languishing business can stand no
more doubt and distraction. It will
improve under the silver bill if the
money centres are wise enough not to
obstruct the fair operations of the law,
It will give confidence because people
believe it to be a wise measure, and
confidence is the parent of our long
lost thrift. Besides, it is the law of
the land, and it should command cor
dial obedience. So much is the die
tate of duty, but if there are those
who consider interest as above duty,
we charge them nothing for the hiut,
that the present silver bill will either
be faithfully enforced and accepted, or
more revolutionary laws will follow to
overthrow those who hinder its just
trial.
The House committee on military
affairs has decided to report the Senate
bill for the reorganization of the
militia with amendments. They re
duce the number of major generals to
one and brigadiers to five and leave it
discretionary with the adjutant gen
eral to furnish uniforms or parts
thereof to troops not already provided
and direct him to accept or reject the
fatigue uniform already in use.
Where companies are equipped to his
satisfaction he may issue the annual
allowance. The rank of all the Gov
ernor's staff Is decreased one grade,
The first sergeants are to receive $3
per day for active service ; sergeants,
f2; corporals, 1.75, and privates,
$1.60. Officers are to be paid as those
of like grades are In the regular army
One day's pay is allowed for the an
