THAT SILVER BILL.
It will Become a Law Though
Hayes Vetoes it.
From the Washington Post.]
While hunting for news in the Cap
itol, Saturday, a reporter of the Post
met Senator Barnutn, of Connecticut,j
and asked him what he thought of the
vote on the Matthews resolution:
‘lt shows a two-thirds majority for
the Silver bill, 4 he replied.
'But suppose a full Senate votes on
the bill ? l
‘lt will not alter the result. Win
dom, who voted with us on the reso
lution will vote for the bill. He said
so. Oh its a foregone conclusion that
the bill will become a law, even over
a veto if it comes to that. 1
‘Will it disrupt the Democratic par
ty?‘
‘No, sir. It will not disturb the
party at all. The Democrats who op
pose the Silver bill will acquiesce and
stand to their principles just as truly
as if their policy had been adopted.'
‘General Ewing and some others
have predicted otherwise.*
‘They‘ll find themselves mistaken.
The passage of the Silver bill will set
tle the whole question, and the party
will take its course as united and solid
as ever. We do not believe that it is
the best financial policy, but the dif
ference does not involve an abandon
ment of cur principles. No, sir;
(smiling) the party will not get lid of
us so easily. We will stand by it..‘
‘Then there‘s no danger of this
question splitting the Democracy in
the campaign of 1880 ?*
‘Not any that I can see. The ques
tion will be settled long before that
time. It may bring about matters so
that New York will not be necessary
in 1880, and then a Western man will
be nominated. That is quite likely.*
‘llow would Eastern Dcmoorats take
that ?‘
TPs too far off yet to tell what will
be the issues or anything about the rep
suit, but the Eastern Democrats will
support any man who may be nomi
nated, as they always have done. We
favored Tilden last year because be
was clearly the strongest man/
‘Will the fraud of last year help to
rc-nominate Tilden ?‘
Not unless lie possesses the requis**
itc elements of strength. That would
aid by giving him some sympathy. 1
‘Tilden is bitterly censured in some
parts of the country for his course af
ter the 'election.*
‘He cpuldi/t have pressed forward
and made a fight for the office. That
wonldn‘t do. Governor Tilden is a
very able and judicious man. I have
never seen a paper emanate from him
that was not full of statesmanship.*
‘Some say he is too old for re-nomi
nation/
*That‘s no objection. But as I said,
the Convention is too far off to specu
late about.*
‘What do you think of Hayes and
his Administration r
‘He will be loft without a party by
the time his term is served out. It
seems to me if I‘d been in his place I
would have supported Packard if it
took every man, woman and child in
my party. By repudiating Packard
he clouded his own title. He put a
deed on record, with an acknowl
edged mortgage before it, but we must
accept all that he gives us that is
right. We must take good govern
ment, no matter where it comes from,
and reject the bad. His party is now
trying to force him to take.refuge with
us. But we don't want him. There's
no room in our party for him. But
we‘ll give him support when he does
right.*
As Senator Barnum is chairman of
the National Democratic Committee,
his expressions have a sort of semi-of
ficial value.
Pay Your Debts.
Clean hands in matters of money
among the young certainly ought to
be the indispensable condition of gen
tlemauliuess. No man who boirows*
and does uut pay, and does not c re
whether he pays or is a gentle
man, no matter how witty, or gay, or
fine he may be. To speak in good
plain English, the man who dresses
himself at another's expense, not
knowing how to pay, not caring
whether he pays, is a genteel scoun
drel. And yet such things are done
by good-natured folk, by kind hearted
• people, by persons who never probe
them morally to ascertain what their
tendency is, and what thevlead to.
MODERN MARRIAGES.
An Extract from the Diary of a
Newly Married Man.
Chicago Paper.]
January 1, 1877.—Can it be I am
really married ? It seems a dream.
February I.—Well this is, indeed
reality! And Kate is all a man could
wish. It does me good to humor her
pretty little exacting ways. I must
interview old and have my
sa'ary raised. A married man’s ex
penses—
March I.—Kate is a good girl. But
these women wont understand that a
man can't break off from all his chums
as short as—an icicle. She pouts and
cries even if I want to run out an
hour or two in the evening once a
mouth. It does seem a little exacting
at times, but Kate—dear Kate—she
makes up for everything.
April I.—We’ve had our first big
quarrel. A man can't expect to come
home from a ‘swell* dinner without be
ing a tiifle ‘how came you so/ These
women see nothing but confirmed
drunkards, rags, poverty, blacked eyes
and murder in tbe future because a
fellow gels ‘sprung* occasionally.
May I.—‘Spring! spring! beautiful
spring ! Kate‘s mother lias been stay
ing with us. I miss the splendid even
ings we used to spend alone together
when first married. Kate's mother is
as good a woman as any mother-ics
law can be. But somehow they're to
gether so much; and the old lady and
Kate are so confidential that it seems
to me ut times as if I‘d half lost her.
June 1. —Kate's oldest unmarried
sister has been staying with us during
the last month. It does not seem so
pleasant as it used to when we visited
places of amusement together. It's a
job, anyway, to look out for three wo
men. It's expensive, too; Yet, for
Kate's s;ike, I love my mother and
sister Me-law,
N. B.—The women all talk as if
they were going into the country to
gether. Financially, this is embar
rassing.
June 15. —There is reason in all
things; but I think a man who pays
for the rent and provisions ought to
be master of his own house.
July I.—Women all packed up and
gone to the country. Kate's Aunt
Zezebel has been staying with us. I
have slept fur a fortnight on the par
lor sofa. It is a relief that the house
is empty.
July 15.—1 meet Mary Holmes eve
ry 7 morning now as I walk down town.
Mary's people were wealthy once.
She's a sweet-tempered, pleasant girl.
She's keeping Button & Co‘s book*.
August I.—Mary and myself were
out at the park last night. We have
many sympathies in common. She is
lonely—poor thing! I wish she could
find a friend, j wish—
September I.—Here‘s been a row.
Kate and the rest have come home
suddenly. Some body‘s been writing
to Kate about me and Mary Holmes.
October I.—l think I‘m a patient
man. I can stand a good deal. But
if mother-in-law and sister-in-law and
aunt-in-law want a row, they can have
it. Darn the day they ever came into
the house.
November 1. —They‘ve gone, and
Kate with tb?m.
December 1.- —Before Judge Break
boud. Suit for divorce. J. W. Smith
vs Catherine Smith. lueompat. of
temp.
A fair and buxom New Yprk wid
ow, who had buried three husbands,
recently went with a gentleman who,
in his younger days, had paid her
marked attentions, to inspect the
graves of her dear departed. After
contemplating them in mournful si
lence, she murmured to her compan
ion: ‘Ah, James, you might have been
in that row now if you had only had
a little more courage.'
Detroit Free Press: Senator Gor
don, of Georgia, is a hero and was hit
by seven bullets during the war. Dr.
Rudfield says of him : ‘Gordon has
war record and lots of it, so much so
that a little more would have been all
record aud no Gordon.*

will not only be continued, but such improve
ments made us will give additional zest, viva
city and brilliancy to its columns. In
THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT
all the topics of the time will candidly, care
fully and thoroughly be discussed, but to no
extent of tediousness. The political “leader”
will be happily relieved by light and pleasiug
essays upon social and literary themes, and by
piquant paragraphical comments upon current
events.
THE LATEST NEWS.
The enterprise of the Constitution in gather
ing and placing befoTe its readers the latest
and freshest intelligence from all parts of the
world, which has been Irequently illustrateu
of late on special occasions, whin events of
absorbing public interest were transpiring,
and which has been made the subject of con
gratulatory comment by both press and peo
ple, will suffer no abatement. The natural
advantages of the location of the Constitution
at the political, commercial and mws center
of the State, together with the special facilities
that are the outgrow th of energy, experience
and ample resources, will all be utilized for
the benefit of its readers. Its dispatches are
superior to those of any daily newspaper south
ol Nashville, and its news is fuller and fresher.
In this respect the Constitution has
NO RIVAL IN GEORGIA.
It will be tl e aim of the editors in future,
as it has been in the past, to make their paper
in every respect a reflex of Georgia’s progress
and Georgia’s greatness, and a faithful, vigor
ous and unswerving Champion of Georgia’s
interests.
No effort or expense'will be spared to make
the Constitution indispensable to the Lawyer,
Merchant, Farmer, and Politician, and to ren
der it equally welcome in the counting-room
and at the fireside. “Old Si” will continue to
air his quaint philosophy through its columns,
and “Uncle Remus” will occasionally warble
one of his plantation songs. The Supreme
Court decisions, matters pertaining to the Ex
ecutive business of the State, and the proceed
ings of the Legislature will all find their am
plest and earliest record in the columns of the
Constitution.
THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION
will be in every respect as newsy and as enter
taining as the daily. It will comprise every
feature of interest that experience can possibly
suggest—a carefully edited resume ot the latest
news from all parts of the world, and matters
of political, literary, scientific, agricultural
aud commercial moment w ill find in its col
umns their completest embodiment.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS.
The success of the leading literary paper of
the West, The Chicago Ledger, is truly re
markable. Sinee its intre ductiou to the read
ing public, six years ago, The Ledofk has
steadily advanced in favor, and is now uc
knowiodged second to no paper f the kind m
the country. Its circulation is national, and
has been obtained through the efforts ol its
publishers to produce a paper of high moral
character, and at the same time sell it at a
price consistent with the present hard timet.
That they have succeeded, aud well, too, the
thousands of readers of The Ledger scattered
lrom Maine to Texas, and from Oregon to
Florida, will bear testimony. The Chicago
Ledger is a large forty-eight column we* kK
paper, which contains stories both complete
and continued, in each number, written b/
the best authors of the day, and a great va
riety of informalion interesting to every one.
The subscription price ol The Ledger is only
$1.50 pec year, postage paid, and it is equal
in every particular to other papers of th*
same character which sell for $3 a year. Three
copies ol' this valuable paper will be sent to
any one who sends 10 cents and tueir addrese
to The Ledger, Chicago, 111. 4-3
