ELAND COINAGE. 1118TOBY OF ITS PA88AOB Through Congress ta 1S7S and of th Clr cumstaocss Leading 10 It xvnactmei.t. The panic o: t78 resulted in Tery f eaeral discussion o( tbo money question. Doe of the couiequtncei of this was tha rganlxatlon ot the Creenback party which maintained that the mere flat, or declaration of the Government, waa auf. Relent to make money of that which otherwise had no value. The act of March IS, IHOtt, was passed for the pur pose of strengthening the public credit. It pledged the (lovernment to the pay ment In coin, or It equivalent, of all obli gation, notes and bonds except thoso where the law authorising the Issue stipulated that payment might be made la lawful money, which simply meant legal tender notrs. This law was subse uocotly the occasion of much advera rriticism. especially after the stoppage of the coinage of the silver dollar and the removal of Its legal tender quality. The effect, ot course, was to make the Clov eminent bonds bavaula in sold coiu. F-arlv In 175 the act for the resump tion of specie payments, on January 1, 187t. became a law. This result was successfully accomplished. Secretary Kberman, In his report in IVcemhcr,lK77, aid that In the work of refunding he had informed til associates that as tlis (ov ernment exacted in par merit for bond their full face In coin, it was not antlci. jiated that any future legislation of Con Kress or any action of any department of the Government would sanction or tolcr ate the redemption of the principal of these bonds, or the payment of the infr et thereon. In coin of less value than the coin authorized by the law at the time of tbelr Issue, lx;irL' gold coin. At the ame time 1'residetitiHaves. In his mess age, said he did not believe that the luierests of the Government or the people would be promoted by disparaging silver, but held it should be used onlv at its commercial value. Congress, however, adopted on the KNth of January. 1S7H, a concurrent resolution, which did not re quire the President's signature, declaring their belief that all bonds of the United rotates were payable in silver dollars of eliiW grains, and that to restore anrh dollars as a full legal teuoer fx lliat JiuriMise would n t be a vlo' ilnn of public iilil or tlin rivbta nt th rredlfne On tne s.'dor Marcn. i7, the monetary commission appointed under joint resolu tion of August 13. 1S73, made an ex haustlve report. The members made di verse recommendations. One suggestion wa that the United States should re. monetize silver without regard to the future policy of Kuroue, and that a law should be passed lining 1!U,' to 1 as the standard of relative value between silver and gold In this country. Others favored rctnouetlta tlon on the basis of Id to 1. A third opinion was that it was not expedient to coin silver dollars to be a legal tender currency, and that the Introduction of silver as a currency should be postponed tin til the effort to secure the co-operation of other nations had been faithfully made. Other members of the Commit ion held that a double standard wa an Illusion and an lmossibllity, and declared that she pmpur place for silver In the monetary ays tn to bo that of subsidiary ,B,H S.?,T".C!1 considerably over.

The Sen ate amended It so as to limit the coin age to not more than f l.oou.000 nor leu than fJ.ODO.OOO per month, all eelgnor ge or prollt to accrue to the Treasury. A section was added at the suggestion of Senator Allison authorizing the 1'resl dent to invite other nations to take part In a conference with a view to the adop tion of a common ratio of gold and silver. 1 luring the extended deflate on the meas ure Senator Morrill, of Vermont, pro nounced it a fearful assault on the public credit. It resuscitated the obsolete dol lar which Congress entombed in I KM worth less tnan the greenback In gold nd yet to be a tu.l legal tender. He thought that the causes of the deprecia tion of silver were permanent. The fu ture pi Ice might move one way or other, but It must ftnallv settle at a much lower point. Nothing less than national will and power could mitigate Its tall. Sen ator Wallace, of this state, offered an amendment providing that f 100,000. (Hit) should be coined In silver dollars within three years, and then coinage should cease If bullion should be more than it per cent, below par. The amendment was defeated, as were others offered bv Mr. lllaine and others to approximate the proposed silver dollar's value to that of the gold dollar. An ainciulii.ent of Sen ator Chaffee providing l'r the issue of certificates of not less than (Hi in ex change for silver coin deposited and re deemahle in the same was adopted. All the Senate amendments were con curred In bv the House. Presi dent Haves vetoed the bill. lie said the silver dollar authorized by it was worth' H to 10 per cent, less than It pur porteu to lie worth, and was made a legal tender lor debts contracted when the law did not recognize such coin as lawlul inonev. The effect would be to put an end to the receipt of revenue In gold, and thus compel the payment of silver tor both the principal and interest of the public ileht, which would be a crave breach ot putillc tastli. ir the country was to be benetltud bv silver coinage it could only be done bv tli- issue of silver dollars of lull value, winch won I.I de li aud no man A currency worth less than it purported to be worth would in the end defraud lot only creditors, but alien- gaged In business, ami especially those deiH-ndeut on their daily labor.

Several of the iarfteat and boldest operator at Chicago hav been crashed under pork barrel, but the Instant Increase of foreign purchase convince the markets that the disaster lis brought ceriain measure of relief. Th monetary strlgency which at last crushed speculations In wheat and bog pro duets, has been caused In part by their pre vention of exports and their absorption of enormous capital in currying unprecedent ed stocks of production which If sold in lim,to foreign cotieumeit would have brought gold enough to avert much evil. With tne great surplus of wheat brought over froru previous years th country will be able to meet all demand, even though tiie crop proves stnuil enough to Justify a ronsideraulfl advance from previous prices.

When the train wa about 10 iniiei out of Fremont, at a small station called Lindsay, the sleeping car left the track and crashed into a freight train that wa wait ing on a tiding for a passenger train to pass The first part of Ihe train got by in safety, but the sleeping 'cur rolled over the ties tome distance and finally, swerving from their course, hit the engine 'of the freight train ith tremendous force. The sleeping can were practically reduced to kindling woeid, and that any one escaped ii a miracle The following person! were killed outright. K. I-aflerty. engineer of the freight train, Elyria. O; Charles Spauie. brakeuian of the freight train, Clayville, N. Y; Porter Rob inson, ot the sleeping car uunuio, residence unknown. The following persont were terioutly in jured: Prof. H. H.

The remainder of the train passed the bad spot in safety, but the sleepers wert well tilted w ith people bound to the World'l 1'uir and the added weight wat too much for the poor spot in the track.
