V. It. DUNN - - . - EDITOR. toNESDXY )IfiRM.G, MAR. 6, ISIS. ASSEMBLY. We are authorized to announce W. R. COON, of Clarlngton, n a candidnto for Assembly, subject to ihe usages of the Republican party. The President's Message on the Silver Bill. Tho Silver Bill was vetoed by the Presideut, on Thursday last, and nn able message to Congress accompanied the veto. ' Some of the message is com posed of an explanation of his position on the bill, and reviewing that part of his annual message which touched the matter at issue. We give only his ar gument: "The bill provides for the coinage of tho silver dollar of the weight of 412 grains each of standard silver, to be a legal tender to their nominal value for all debts and duties, public and pri vate, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract. It is well known that the market value of that number of grains standard silver du ring the past year has been from ninety to niaety-two cents as compared, with the standard gold dollar. Thus the silver dollar dollar authorized by this bill is worth from eight to ten per cent, less than it purports to be worth and is made a legal tender for debts contracted when the law did not rec ognize such coins as lawiul money. Issued in sufficient amount to circulate they put an end to the receipt of the revenue in gold and thus compel the payment o Bilver for both the priaci pal and interest of the public debt, 81,243,493,400 of the bonded debt now outstanding was issued prior to Feb ruary, 1875, when the- silver dollar was unknown in the circulation cf this country and with only a con venient farm of Bilver bullion for ex portation ; $583,440,250 of the bonded debt has been issued since February, 1873, when gold alone was the coin for which the bonds were sold, and gold alone was the coin in which both parties to the contract understood that the bonds would be paid. Those bonds flowed in the markets of the world, They were paid for in gold when silver had greatly depreciated and ffhen no one would have bought them if it had been understood they would be paid in silver. The sum of 225,000,000 of those bonds has been sold during my administration for gold coia, and the United &tates received the benefit of those sales by a reduction of the rate of interest of four per cent. During the progress of those sales a doubt was suggested as to the coin in which the payment of these bonds would be paid ; the public announcement was there upon authorized that it was not to bo anticipated that any further legislation of Congress, or any action of any de partment of the government would sanction or tolerate the redemption of the principal of those bonds or the payment of interest thereon in coin ex acted by tho Government in exchange for the same. In view of thia fact it -will be justly regarded as a grave breach of the publio faith to under take to pay those bonds, principal or interest, in Bilver coin worth less in the market than tho coin received for them. It is said the silver dollar, made a legal tender by this bill, will, under this operation, be equivalent in full to the gold dollar. Many sup porters of the bill believe tlii3 and re gard it just an attempt to pay debts cither public or private iu coin of an inferior value to the money of the world. The capital defect oi the meas ure is that it contains no provision pro tecting from its operation pre-existing debts in case the coinage which it cre ates fiball continue to be of less value than that which was tho sole legal ten der when they were contracted. If it js now proposed for tho purpose of taking advantage of tho depreciation of silver in tho payments of debt, to ioiu and make legul tender a silver dollar of less commercial value than a dollar, whether of gold or paper, which is now the lawful money of the country, snch a measure it will be hardly questioned, will, in tho judg ment of mankind, be au act of bad faith. As to all debts heretofore con- t rat-ted tho silver dollar should be s-ie a legal tender only at its market The standard of valuo fakould hanged without the cunseut of t to the contract. National promises thould be kept with unflinch ing fidelity. There is n power to compel a nation to pay its just debts. Its credit depends upon its honor. Tho nation owing what it has led creditors to cxpe;t, I cannot approve a bill which in my judgment authorizes the violation of 6ncred obligations. The obligation of publio faith transcends all questions of profit or public advan tage Its unquestionable maintenance is'tho dictate as well of tho highest ex perience as of the most necessary duty and should be ever carefully guarded by the Executive, by Congress, and by the people. It is my firm conviction that if the country is to bo benefitted by silver coinage it can be done only by the issue of silver dollars of full value, which will defraud no man, and currency worth less than it pur ports to be will in the end defraud not only the creditors, but all who are en- grged in legitimate business and no more assuredly than those who are de pendent on their daily labor for their daily bread. Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States. What Ingersoll Owes to the Bible. Once in a while we see an articlo in an exchange which so perfectly ex presses our views on a subject that we are constrained to give it room iu our columns. The following is a case iu point, and ventilates in a masterly manner the debt owed by Col. Inger soll to the teachings of that Book which ho so vindictively attacks aud ridicules. The article is taken from the Star, published at Ciucinuati : "In those countries where the re ligion of the Biblo prevails there are a great manywomen and men, and not a fow Sunday-school children, who take pleasure in studying the so-called Holy Scriptures, and they claim to de rive great consolation from their teach ings. They claim that their teachings are calculated to make the world bet ter and happier, nnd that they are so infinitely superior to the instructions of all other philosophers and sages that have ever lived, as to furnish evi dence of their divine origin, even if there was no other evidence to sustain that conclusion. These people, by the general tenor of their daily lives, show in a very satisfactory manner that this belief works them no evil, makes them no worse citizens nor disturbs the har mony of the domestic relations auy more than if they were rank infidels of the Col. Robt. Ingersoll style of moral architecture. It is quite safe to say that they will more than average with those who feel no inner consciousness of possessing souls. "No ono questions Ingersoll's right to be an infidel, or a Mahometan, or a fire-worshiper, in a mere worldly point of view. It is guaranteed by our Con stitution. Those who don't agree with him are perfectly willing that he should abide the final result. He ia no pio neer in this active crusade against all religious creeds and torms of faith. He produces no new argument, although he may present old ones eloquently aud make them enjoyable to a mixed crowd, by profuse witticisms and old jokes that have done service in better company for these many years. Why should he, Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll, make himself miserable even at a net profit of two hundred dollars a night, iu trying to bring the doctrines of the Bible into disrepute ? Let the Illinois orator reflect what he would now be and have been since he saw daylight, if he hadn't been surrounded with the blessings that religion had already wrought out for him ? Stanley discov ered in the interior of Africa, nations of people so remote from civilization that apparently no ray from the Throne of God had ever reached them. Ac cording to the theory of Ingersoll they had sutlered nothing fiora the tom fooleries of Christianity. They were simple children of Nature. As mere animals Stanley met some very fine specimens among them, worthy of sup plaotiog many of our decayed states men, or representing Illinois on the floor of Coagress leaving the question of souls out of account. "But suppose for a moment that the so-christened Robert Ingersoll, by the ordering of chance (we wbo'I say by the Providence of God, for that might be considered ns begging the whole question), had been on or nbout the headwaters of the Nile, where exists no knowledge of hell, Halifax, Chicago or tho future state, what would have been his condition to-day ? Where his honors, and titles, and good clothos, and pleasant surroundings, tho gor geous watch chain, the fat pickings of the lecture-room and tho feverish hope of future oflicinl favors ? What a pic ture to contemplato! Bob Ingersoll in a breech-clout, with poisoned ar rows and a bow, gnawing the h:t!f ronstcd fore-arm of a deceased enemy, but without tlie light of the Bible, con trasted with Bob Ingersoll as ho now is, firing ofTliia poisoned arrows at the Divine Power that has made hint what he is, and secured to him tho blessings of home, family aud a civilized coun try!"
