THE S1LVIR DOLLAR
The report of Senator’Jones* mone
tary commission — a volume of two
hundred pages— has created a sensa
tion. Iljidvocatea the remonetisation
of silver, as no serious denial of the
legal right of the United States to pay
its bond4 in gold or silver, at its option,
can lie made. It urges ?be punctual
fulfillment cl the letter of the law, and
d ec Mintonsmes taxation of the peo
ples** Miib^tance to pay pr« cuiuini lor the
applause of the country's creditors.
The first would maintain, aa it always
has, the credit of the country, woile the
Ktter would weaken patriotism, which
is the country’s reliance bath in peace
and war. The report discusses a»
length the efiect of a permanent de
monetisation of silver. It would de
preciate the price of the commodities
that we sell to Europe in payment of
the intenst on our immense indebted
nous. It would reduce the price of
labor, aggravate the burden of debt,
and | reduce a still greater concentra
tion of wealth than now exists.
Thus far, the majority report. There
are four minority reports. Me am*
Jones, lt»gy and Willard give their
opinion that the proper legal relation of
valintTo be established in the United
H utes between silver and gold is 15 5
to 1. Mr. Groesbcck, In another ma
jority report, favors the old dollar
stsn 1 ird, and Mr. Bland concurs. Mr
Kou wHI rpposes remonet*xatiou, and
Mc rrs. Francis Bowen and Gibson
li >'.d that “ilio so-cailed double stand
ard is an illusion and an impossibility,*
but favor the substitution of token doU
lars 15 rt grains of pure silver) for all
paper money under $5.
Several bills have already been in
troduced providing for an unlimited
c linage of the old silver dollar con
tainiinr 412* grains of »laudard silver.
If *•.«!♦- one of these bills, which are in
conformity to the majority report of the
monet ,ry cornmissinn, does not become
a law, it will show that congress in pre
pared to disregard the wishes of the
south nml west and obey those of the
northeast. The various bills intoduced
make the silver dollar a legal tender for
all debts, public sod private, except
"where payment of gold is required by
law ’’ The issue in a very plain ore. It
in (lie bondholders of the northeast
ngaim t all the rest of the country. The
bondholder opposes the n monetization
of silver because he wants to retain the
ten per cent that he suireptitiously
added to the legal value of his bonds
. The people want reinonolisutou be-
• mmc it it justice, ami will make re-
sump: ion practicable perha|*t as
. soon as the «»|s*ning of 1871). To
do trial however, the mints niu-t turn
t ont not less than one hundred millions
! of silver dollars, every one of which
| can be used in thin country. The wes
, tern and southern members must show
; the northeast and the bondholder gen
i eratly that sly rcptala are undesirable
| and that the people have some ii.Uu-
• ence over legislation in the long run.

Casual readers will at once perceive
that the editor of the Inter-Ocean is
suffering from the want of information,
and this suffering, which seems to be
acute as well as chronic, we shall en
deavor to relieve, albeit it is rather late
in the season to bring the carpet-bagger
for discussion. He ha* been driven
the wall by a series of events somer
ciless and inexorable in their character
that they were beyond the
rol even of the craft aud shrewdness
that have made him notorious in the
north and infamous at the south. We
are quite willing to allow the carpet-
bagger to remain unmolested in the
obscurity into which he has been
lriveu by circumstances, but aa the
Inter Oc< an seems desirous of reopen
ing the political pit wherein the more
prominent of these knaves lie buried,
propose, at the risk of being consid
ered a trifle officious, to saunter around
the edge and show our Chicago contem
porary precisely in what portion of the
cemetery to thrust his spade; and
order to render our information clear
and intelligible we shall comment upon
the paragraphs in the Inter-Ocean
article, which we have already quoted,
the order of their arrarg^ment.
1. Any citizen of the north can come
the south and be secure in his per
son and property, and he is not a car
pet-bagger within the current meaning
of the term. A respectable citizen < f
the north would scorn to come south
lor the purpose of arraying the colored
race against the whites—for the pur
pose of manipulating the negro vote
that he may be placed in a position to
rob and plunder and steal. No respec
table citizen of the north could stoop
assume the role of a political adven
tur. r—and a political adventurer is a
carpet-Vmgger whether he comes from
the north, the east, the west, or the
middle states.
2. A republican can c -me from the
north to the south and be protected i
son and property. He has merely
identify hi nself with the
substantial interests of the people
with whom he casts his fortunes, and
he will discover that a republican has
many rights in Georgia as iu Illinois
Vermont.
3. The war made by the southern
people against the carpet-baggers w*s
self defence, and it was as hard and
bitter as the instirct of self preser
vation could make it—and it was sue
cesnful. We put the case to the Iuter-
Oecan fairly. Suppose that U-inois
contained a votirg element ignoram
and carders if not vicious—an element
which, shrewdly roani| ulated, could
be made a controlling one-and suppose
that a party of adventurers from Geor
gia or any other southern state, with
out respectability at home and intent
only upon laying violent hands upon
the public treasury or wringing money
from people powerless to rhake <11
the yoke of fraud—suppose that all this
should happen (and worse has hap-
j**ned in nearly every southern state)
would the editor of the Inter-0 -can
support aud uphold the monstrouf
windle? Would he allude to these
as patriots ar.d applaud ihei
knavery ?
4. The carpet baggers were never
persecu’^ed on account of their political
opinions. When the state governments
of the south fell into honest hands,! Iu*\
were prosecuted for theft and fraud,and
they fled the country because tliej
dared not face the lnw. Does the Inter-
O.-ean regard these men—whose
knavery is almost monumental—a.-
representative republicans? Are the
southern people to gauge tbe hones
and respectability of the mass
the northern republicans by the records
of such men as Bullock, Harrison
Reed, Littlefield, Paterson, Scott
'aiker, Kellogg, Casey and Chamber-
lain
Fortunately for the south—fortunate
ly, indeed, for the whi le country-car-
pet baggism is now unknown
south. Circumstances have combined
to make the carpet bagger an impt
bilitv in our politics, wherefore we can
xtend a most coruial invitation to tl
{•eople of the east, the north and the
northwest to come and settle among
us. Vote f >r whom you please and how
ou please, only come and aid us in
building up and developing the fairest
and most fertile land under the sun.
THE LOUISIANA SEATS.
Senctor Hill is a member of the sen
ate committee on privileges and elec
tions, to which was referred the ere
dentials of the numerous Louisiana
contestants. After Mr. Kellogg had
submitted a written statement claim,
ing that public documents on file with
the committee show that he was duly
elected by a legal government of Lou
isiana. but that if the committee should
decide to consider the subsequent
events, he would be prepared to fur-
rish evidence concerning them, and
after Jud.e Spoflord had
orally and briefly argued
that tbe subsequent events
were acquitsced in by all the people o!
the state and that tbe people's decision
is final, thus obviating the taking of
more testimony, Senator Hill offered
the following as the committee’s report
to the senate:
The controversies heretofore cxlatiag In the
state cf Louisiana aa to which of the two rival
semh, snd remains a republican, a carpet- ( bodies wn the legislature of that state, tnl a*
which of the two rival claimants was gover
of Mid Mate, having been settled by th*
suta ItseJ since the last a: jourament of the
senate.
Resolved, that the senate do recogn 1 ** and ac
cept s iid MsiUcment a* final.
Mr. Hoar preferred to have the ques
tion argued "as the parties mig’al pre
fer,** aud of cours* this wishes in this
respect were gratified. The argument
progressing at thisj writing, with no
particular limit as to its scope. The
broader or rather the longer the inquiry
the better will the radical majority of
the committee be pleased.
The probabilities are that the major
ity of the committee—all extreme par
tisans except Mr. Hoar—will adhere to
the conclusions reached last March f
namely, that Kellogg has a prima facie
claim. True, such a decision would
ignore the conclusions of the commit-
in the Pinchback case, but consist
ency ie not a rallied virtue. Kellcgg*s
cat e is even weaker than Pinchback’s;
for the legislature that elected the lat-
actually exercised legislative func
tions and succeeded iu imposing its
authority on the stale, whereas
the legislature that elected
Kellogg never succeeded in establish
ing itself. It vanished from sight. The
legislature that elected Judge Spofford
was undisputed and exercised full leg
islative authority in the state. In tbe
fare ol these notorious facts, it Is
thought that Messrs. Mitchell, Wad-
leigb, Cameron and McMillan will re
port that Kellogg has a prima facie
case, upon which the thirty-rix will
doubtless seat him, leavirg Judge
Sjmjfiord to present his case to Mitch-
& Co., of the committee. This, of
course, would mean a postponement
f the latter's cause to the time
when the democrats control the senate.
We hope Mr. Hill will expose the
whole business when the report of the
committee comes before the senate.
We believe he will. He will be in pos
session of all the facts of the case, and
he does not use these facts to tbe
detriment of the party that is respon
sible for the wrong thus sought to be
done to a sovereign state, we shall be
disappointed. If Louisiana is to remain
speechless, let the story of her wrongs
pnt before the people. If it must
come, let it c.me before tbe November
elections.
ELI TER KISS DISTANCED.
J U seems that Tennessee has two
H Baxters—one residing in Knoxvil e
i and tbe other in Xsslmlle. Both want

THE CABPET BAG DEBT.
New Orleans, October 24.—
syndicate of eminent financiers
Europe hive proposed to loan
the state of Louisiana $12,950,000,
with which the state must call in and
pay off her present debt at par with in
terest to the date of retirement. The
state mnst then issue the same amount
of bonds to the syndicate, bearing 5
per cent interest. The principal and
interest are made payable in forty-five
years.
UNDER THIS ARRANGEMENT,
the state would be required to pay only
