FRIDAY. FEBRUARYI, It" 8.

The Louisiana rotnrning board is in a tight place. Fraud is ab< it to receive its rewasd.

Matthews’ Silver resolutions f. »«s«hl the Senate and House by overwl elm majorities. Voorhees has waked them up.

STEP BY STEP.

The law providing for the issue of fifteen hundred million dollars of 5 20 bonds, passed February 25.1862. made them redeemable in greenbacks. John Sherman, now radical Secretary of the Treasury, then Senator from Ohio, gave his views of the contract in the following letter: United States Senate Chamber, 1 Washington, March 30, 1868. , Deab Sib—l wan glad to receive your letter. My personal interests are the same as yours, but, like you, I do not Intend to be influenced by them. My con truetlon of the law is th*' result of careful examination, and I f» el quire sure an impartial court would confirm it if the case should be tried before a court. I send you my views that we propose to repudiate or violate a promise when we offer to redeem the ’’principal” in legal tenders is erroneous. I think the bondholdi r violates his promise when be refuses to take the same kind of money he paid for the bonds. If the case is to be tested by the law I am right; if it is to be tested by Jay-Cooke's advertisements, lam wrong. I hate rej u diation or anything like it, but we ought not be deterred from what is right for fear of undeserved epithets. If under the law as it stands the holders of five-twenties can only be paid in gold, the bondholder can demand only the kind of money he paid, then he is a repudiator and extortioner to demand money mote valuable than h<» gave. Truly yors, John Shf.rman. The letter is certainly sufll ie> t y explicit for all to understand. Foreign and domestic bondholders paid for these bonds legal tenders worth at the time only 50 to 60 cents on the dollar, but soon began >o clamor that the face of the bond be paid in C'. in. In March. 1869, in compliance with the demand of the bondholders, :he contract and good faith with the people was broken; and by this tlrst and single act of concession the p< ople were robbed of not less than $500,000,000. Thit was step number one. Step number two was taken in the enactment of the law of July 14,1870, purporting to be for the refunding >f tlie national debt. It was simply an exchange of new bonds, with the eontrret of 18;,9, for the old ones. Thh was done with a view to the “maintenance of the national faith and hoi - or” with the money brokers, and to prevent the possibility of dispute on the part of the people. The demonetization of silver, on the 12th day of February, 1873,-and the consequent increase in value of bonds in the hands of the holders, was sep number three. In 1874 Will street and foreign capitalists made another demand, and step number four is revealed in the act which repealed the legal tender qualities of silver. The fiifth step was made on the 14th cay of January, 1875, in the passage of the Resumption Law, and adoption of a system for contraction of the currency. Summed up:— Step No. I.—Breaking honor and good faith with the people, in making payable in coin, what could legally, under the contract, bo paid in currency. Step No. 2.—ln behalf of foreign and domestic capitalists, ami against the people, in 1870 completing the the fraud of 1869. Step No. 3.—The demonetization oi silver in 1873, increasing the debt and making more valuable the bonds in * the hands of the holders. St»p No. 4.—The repeal, in 1874, of all legal tender qualities of silverrendering it optional with a creditor to receive it or not in payment of debt. Step No, s.—Having broken fafth with the people, increased the vt lue of bonds, depreciated the silver coin, the last step was taken in the contraction of the currency, and the designation of an early dale for resumption. These steps have been piemeditatedly taken. The wealthy have been enriched at the expense of the toiling masses. The radical party has controlled the legislation for many years past. Let the mighty people, for their own protection, bold it responsible for the financial evils which now so sorely distress the country.

A POSSIBILITY.

"Will It Not Bo Well for Haye* to Consider? The man who has becu made a beggar by forced inflation of his debls is not so much to blame if he advocates repudiation as the man who insists that the inflated debt shall be paid us if that were its true value. The silver bill will contract the debt to some extent and may save us from repudialion, but if the silver Jill is defeated it would not after all be surprising if repudiation became a popular doct fine. The western representatives in Congress have done well in presenting this alternative plainly, and the eastern members should beed the warning. General Clark of Missouri, in an int’rssting and exhaustive speech 00 the silver question delivered shortly before the Christmas adjournment, spoke of the danger of trifling with a desperate people in such an emerges*’ cy in words so eloquent and. so true that they wilt bear reproduction bow. In a short time a vote u ill be had oq the silver bill, and this passage which forms the brilliant-peroration of Gen.

Chirk’s speech is better worth reading than it was a month ago; “The crumbling wrecks of financial disaster ar»- strewn around us in wild confusion: manufactories haveeiosed, and the novel sight of a pauper population in aland of abundance clam orons for work and for food Is to be seen surrounding this very capital, sounding the cry of a great national distress and piteously begging forrelief. The palsying hand of deprecia lion has laid its withering and blighting touch on every species of property except gold. l abor goes unrewarded while gold is everywhere dominant and pay* its dividend*. Houses are tenantless, mortgaged lands are remorsely sold under the hammer of the auction er, the silence of sleep is in our work shops; agriculture still moves, but with the feeble and totteiing steps of despair; women and children are crying with pa’lid face and sunken eyes to the laboring man for bread, and he, poor man. frenzied by their distreas, rises in the majesty of wronged manhood to demand redress. while the capitalist, trembling for hit- hoards, is clamoring for an increase of the army to protect his wealth. “Are these mere ghostly shadows that prophesy coming events? Are there no handwritit gs on the wall warning the country of a dread future near at hand—a future of violence, spoliation and blood? God forbid fliat I should be an alarmist, but the statesman who takes no heed of the smothered passion in the hearts of t le destitute and unemployed people, Wlll'-rn BUICiJr Will Uino/jVLn, „ volcano if this state of things continues. has read the histories of the o f Iler. people with the same impulsesand passions as ourselves, to very little purpose. Do we wish to relearn the terrible lesson of blood, that Ihe demon of revolt once born in a laud only ne ‘ds the helping bund of opposition to waken it into that ireud and frightful manhood which laughs nt crime and no law but that of lust, rapine and plunder?”

A New Use for Cotton Seed Oil.

(New York Bulletin.) Col oi se d. oil has for some time past figured conspicuously among our ir iuinent articles of commerce ou account of the valuable uses it is madefcto serve. The cake is exported luigely, ami the refined oil is growing in importance us a substitute for palm oil for saponaceous purposes in this country and abroad; and, in addition io this, it is shipped in considerable quantities to Mediterranean ports, and after a little doctoring, reshipped here as the olive oil of commerce to no little extent. Numerous unsuccessful attempts have been made to give the oil the necessary qualities as a drying oil for painters’ use, but, nevertheless, experiments have continued, ami now a party residing at Cupleville, near Memphis; Tenn., announces that th® desideratum has been reached. He states that he has discovered a comparatively non-ex-pensive operation by which the cotton seed oil can be made equal to the linseed oil for this purpose, and cites an instance where a house was painted some eight mouths ago with cotton seed oil as a substitute for linseed oil, on which the paint is as bright now as on the day it was applied. - The process employed makes tlm. cotton seed oil a dry oil for house painting that is said to have no superior. It now remains to have a trial of it in the different climates, and in the event of its success cotton planters w.ll find h material addition to the value of their seed, while to consumers there will no doubt be a considerable saving, as a very heavy duty uas to be paid on Calcutta linseed, from which the best grades of linseed oil are crushed. The greatest saving, however, will be in the southern states, as large sums are spent annually in our northern markets for linseed oil for Use in that quarter. Then there is a possibility of a further outlet.— Large quantities of linseed are exported from this country, and if cotton seed oil can be made of desirable quanty the cheapness of price will do the rest.
