debt oi the 8tale, to-wit:

authority of an act approved Sep-
olasaea do not require a good currency,
aqnaily distributed, easily obtained at a
lower rate of interest for their own pros
perity and s proper development of tha
oouutiy, and whether the interest of the
bondholder is not to make money dear by
all the means in his power.
4. Whether the preeent effort of the
bondholders to make the Government
furniBh the gold to take the legal tenders
out of circulation, sod whioh gold goes
into their vaults to redeem their own bills,
is not a doable fraud upon the people, to-
wit: in making the Government bary the
gold at a heavy lose with whioh to enable
them to pay coin, and at the same time
reduoing the circulation by the withdraw
al of the legal tender, thus adding to tha
eoarcity and prioe of inonfy.
5. Whether the Cnnumntinm i by her
Constitution to be adopted, can remedy
this evil, end if so, how ? and to report
s olaoae or olsuaes for that purpose ; and
if the Convention cannot, whether the
sufferings of the producing and laboring

yoad anything aver before koown in ibis
country do not require the suppression of
this terrible monopoly.

I HPKAEH HH MIND—Hie OPINION OF
ULAINB AND GAIL HAMILTON.
G. H. H., writing from the White tint-
pbur SpnuvH to the Wheeling Register,
s*ys: Mr. ilili was introduced to Mr.
Job K. Htevenson, ex Congressman from
Cincinnati. As they eat down auder the
large porch in front of the main hotel,
Mr. Hteveuson opened the conversation
by saying that he had retired from Con
grass about the time Mr. Hill entered it,
bnt it he bad known thattba Forty-fourth
Congrt-H* was to have been so important
be believed that he would have
made an effort to go back. “Yea,”
replied Mr. Hill, “it did play an im
portant part in the history oj the oountry,
and I knew it would, *ud that i* just why
I Nought au election to it. It was the
firat time that I had been a candidate
since the war." Mr. 8teven*on then re
ferred to the memorable oonteet between
lllmne and Hill, aud remarked that he
bad known Mr. Blaine for a long time ;
that he bad gone to aehcol to him when
Blaine was a school teacher down id Ken
tucky. “Ve«, I know Blaine very wbIJ,
too,” *aid Mr. Hill; “he went to school
to me in Congress, aud I think he learned
some discretion," and the laughing, hi<zel
eye fairly danced in his head os his mind
went back to the fatuous debate which
defeated Blaine for Ihe Presidency and
made Ilili a Senator.
In reply to a question a* to his estimate
of BJaine a* a publio man, Mr. Hill said :
‘I regard him a* a bright man. He baa a
puck, brilliant mind, and oan show to
great advantage what he knows, hut then
he km/trs to little and the sombre ex
preaaion again faded, while the brilliant
Hootiona of the lenghing eye gave point
to the during part of the sentence. ‘Yea,
sir,' continued Mr. Hill, T think that Mr.
Blnine knows leas of the Constitntion of
but country than any man that I ever knew
to be iu pnblio life He then went on to
say that he regarded Blaine as a shrewd,
I roil politician, bat he possessed uone
of the element* of a *t«tesai*u. At thi*
point some one saggewted (hat the Senate
would not afford a* fine a display for Mr.
Blaiue * peculiar talent as the House had
i. Mr. Ilm seemed to think that the
place and circumstance wonld be no check
to Blaine's ambition, and in addition to
that he wonld still have Gail Hamilton to
do hi* writing and prompt him to hi*
work.
“What do you think of G*il Ham
ilton aa a public writer ?” we* the
next qujetion “Well, sir, I regard
her a* a wonderful wriier—wonderful in
the multiplicity of words she uses, aud
equally as wonderful in the absence of
thought. I think th«t female political
writers are a great humbug.' He con
tinued : "There is another woman—Grace
Greenwood—who has been slinging word*
at me. She thu ks]that Lamar, Gordon,
and myself, are moot dangerous men, gnd
puiticnUrly m>*elf. She de*cribed me
as ’rvlucfant. I don’t know of tar reluc -
tant policy that I have. I am always frank
and ready to say what I think. My friends
think that I «m too free to talk and express
my opioioo; U*h.t e tmetiaies it is not
politic to do so. Yet I think that a meu
ought not to entertain an idea that he ia
afraid to talk about.
