The bank of Jacob Bunn, of Spring

My time and means will be used to
restore the Institution for the' Blind
to its original design of placing an
education within their reach, equal
to that enjoyed by more fortunate
children. We call upon the friends
of the blind to assist us. We call up
on those parents to assist us, who are
surrounded by their bright eyed
children, that may at any moment,
by accident or pestileuce, be shut out
from the light of day and pasB into
the "Pauper's List," surrounded with
the pall of night, mrd the blazi of
noon. We call upen the Humanitar
ian who believes in civilization and
progress to openly assist us.
Samuel Bacon.
The professor should be more ex
plicit as to what he proposes to do,
and how he proposes to do it. He is
recognized as a master educator of the
blind, and when the people know just
what he wants, to organize and per
petuate an institution such as he
speaks of, his efforts may, if deemed
feasiblo, meet with a hearty second
from many of his friends.
Stanley Matthews in a recent con
versation with a reporter.on the silver
question, and the attitude of the Ad
ministration on the question, said:
I have no knowledge.more than oth
ers of the president's opinions. I
think tbatheisin favor of the remon
etization of silver, as he has said In his
message, He seems to be ensbarrass

other men: by the Secretary of the

when he was negotiating the four-per- j
c9ut- bonds, in wmcu "b- """.;
once of their payment in gold-as if
fhe Executive Department was com
fitted to that construction of the law.
"think V i in error in that, because
the Secretary of the Treasury had no
right to make a law or construe a law.
Nothing can be claimed beyond the
letter of the contract.
That's what's the matter With the
President and Mr. Sherman of the
Treasury "assurance of their pay
ment in gold," a false construction of
the law, or the assumption to make a
law. The people will not tolerate con
tracts made by tools of bondholders
under false interpretations of the law.
John Sherman, 18G8 and 1877.
Here is what JohnSherman thought
in 180S as to paying bonda in the same
kind of money as that in which the
purchaser paid for his bonds. Can
the "common reader' Imagine what
new light has broke in on John in
1S77? Will the five million dollars
he is said to have accumulated of late
years, enter into the solution of the
problem ?
This letter was written to A. Mann,
jr., Brooklyn, New York.
United States Senate Chamber,
Washington, March iU, 1808. Dear
Sir: I was glad to receive your let
ter. My personal interests are the
same as yours, but, like you, I do
not intend to be influenced by them.
My construction of the law is the re
sult of careful examination, and 1
feel quite sure an impartial court
would confirm it if the case should
be tried before a court. I send you
my views, as fully 6tated in a Bpeecb.
Your idea that we propose to repudi
ate or violate a promise when we offer
to redeem the "principal" in legal
tenders is erroneous. I think the
bondholder violates his promise when
he refuses to take the same kind of
money he paid for the bonds. If the
caBe is to he tested by the law, I am
right ; If it's to be tested by Jay
Cooke's advertisements, I am wrong.
I hate repudiation or anything like it,
but we ought not to be deterred from
what is right for fear of undeserved
epithets. If under the law as It
stands the holder of 5 20s can only be
paid In gold, the bondholder can de
mand only the kind of money he
paid, then he is a repudlator and ex
tortioner to demand money more
valuable than he gave. Truly yours.
John Sherman.
Iu the fall on the Citizens Bank of
this city the State has another chuuee
to commence an action against a
bankrupt depository of its Treasurer.
We think, siuce Mr. McBibe has
been so accommodating with the
State money as to deposit large Bums
with the two defunct banksof this city
it would have looked full as well for
him to bring the actions for collections
of the Bame in his own name, instead
of placing the State in a position to
pay large sums at costs, and we might
also remark that it is getting to be
somewhat desirable to know how
much of the StateB money has been
thus distributed among the supposed
political powers of the land. Falls

It would seem1 from the above that
the State Treasurer has been acting In
his official capacity with questionable
integrity, we hope however he will
be able to explain his doings satisfact
orily in the light of correct business
management.
In San Francisco on the 3d Inst, a
large body of unemployed working
men marched to the Mayors office,
and a committee waited on the May
or and demanded work or bread, sug
gesting that they be set to work on
the streets or other public Improve
ments. The Mayor addressed the
crowd, stating his inability to take
such action, aud counseling applica
tion, when necessary, to the various
benevolent organizations. The speech
was received in sullen silence. The
crowd, to the number of several thous
and, marched to the new City Hall
lots, where they were addressed by
the agitators, who said the destitute
must help themselves by force M oth
er means failed.
AtBloomingtou, 111., on the2d lust,
a large meeting was held favoring the
Bland silver bill. Among the resolu
tions passed wus the following, perti
nent and true:
Resolved. That to destroy one-half
of the money resources of the country
by tlio demonetization of silver is a
reckless disregard of the general wel
fare ; to do this, when forced speoie
resumption is in immediate prospect
is an unparalleled outrage, menacing
disaster and ruin to the general busi
ness of the country, and to have car
ried this measure by stealth, was a
swindle upon the people whlnh calls
forth our severest condemnation.
The antl-sllver shysters Invariably,
when oornered, or driven to the wall
for lack of argument to sustain their
position, resort to the stereotyped in
terrogations, "What will England say
to this !"' or "How will our bonds sell
In England!" As though our prime
object in regulating our monetary af
fairs should be, to please England, or
serve her interests.

en a last look on 1S77, a year that has
left many a memorable impression
upon our minds and warned us of the

1878. Adieu, old year! Although
many an act has ooourred to mar the
serenity of your time, yet we will
fondly cherish all your noble deeds,
hurling into oblivion those contrary
with the resolve to improve in all our
participations.

did a great deal of superfluous howl
ing before they were pricked, and if
suspicions are true, there was more
than one finger in the pie. It is hop
ed these Paris seekers will not succeed
in having the legislature convened,
as it will only result in a detriment to
the state and in an aggrandizement to
several pleasure seekers, who wish

There is a growing sentiment here
and elsewhere, that daily waxes
stronger and stronger and if not soon
burst asunder, will, in the no distant

frenzied fury, being dangerous felt

To some extent this Universalistio
doctrine predominates In the board of
Regents, although it has not shown
itself very effectively except through
two or three of the faculty.
The Nebraska University to-day is
on a better educational basis than she
ever dreamed of in times past. For
an institution so young but not im
mature, it has no rival, and is rapidly
followiug in the wake of her prede
cessor, Michigan University. All the
departments are presided over by
men of exceptional education, and in
time, the departments of- Medicine
aud Law will be added to these. All
this welcomed Improvement is due,

Letter from an Old Comrade.
Douglas, Kas., Dec. 29, '77.
Geo. W. Fairbrottier, Editor Nebraska Ad
vertiser: Respected Friend Once my fellow
countryman iu war, now my fellow
countryman in peace, permit me at
this late hour of absence in person,
not iu thinking of you and my fellow
comrades who shared the hardships
of a soldiers life7 to address you a few
lines.
I have been blessed with health and
a reasonable amount of prosperity. I
am located in Birtler county, joining
the southern line of counties in Kan
sas. We have a fine country here. It
is a little rolling, a splendid soil, con
sisting of what is known as mulatto
land. Our streams are rock and
gravel bottom, and no stagnated wa
ter, therefore we have a healthy
country. This country is well adapt
ed to the growing of all the different
kinds of grain. Fall wheat does well
here; there has been as high as sixty
three bushels and four pounds grown
to the acre. 1 have grown forty-five
bushels to the acre. Of course this is
more than the average. I have been
here six years the 13th of last June.
I have grown a flue peach orchard;
this year we had abundance of peach
es; dried a quantity; we have had
plenty of canned and dried fruit this
year. This country produces the
heaviest corn that I have ever seen
grow out of the earth. Apple trees
are beginning to bear some. Plenty
of stone in this viciuity for building
feuoes and stanch buildings. We
have the white magnesian rock, that
can be dressed as smooth as a carpen
ter can dress a board. The streams
have about the same amount of tim
ber that Nebraska has. There is
plenty of stone coal that come to the
surface, 35 miles east' of Us. A com
pany of colliers have drilled a shaft
70 feet, 1G miles north of where I live,
aud found a three foot vein of coal.
This country has progre6ed'at a sur
prising rate during the short time it
has been settled. We have all the
machinery here of the present day,
from a 16 foot header, sulky breakers
aud stirring attachments; and in fact
the most approved tools that are being
used for the benefit of man in the
United States.
I have 2S0 acres of laud, over 100 in
cultivation; 765 rods of hedge fence,
some of which is stock proof. The
osage fence is a sucoess here, if it is
taken care of. We have a fine pros
pect of railroad inside of the next 18
month, that will pass within five
miles of my place. There are some
few good locutions from seven to ten
miles east of me, at$1.25 per acre; yet
second-band land can be had at mod
erate figures to Buit purchasers.
Now, if this letter is worthy of your
attention, please give such portions of
it in your paper as you may deem
proper. If it, or a portion of it, will
be a nuisance to your columns, I ask
pardon. The reason I suggested the
thing, wbb this: I do not know the
address of any of the boys that was
in old Company D, therefore I take
this method of informing them of my
whereabouts. If I could contribute
anything for the benefit of your pa
per, I would like to do so, occasional
ly. I saw a number of your paper
that was sent to my brother, Alfred
Butler, aud if I understand its motto,
it is independent in all things and
neutral in nothing. Tnerefnre you
are at liberty, or its contributors, to
discuss ail questions, political' or reli
gious, through your columns.

The followiug is the text of the sil
ver bill which passed the House, and
is now pending in the Senate :
Be it enacted, etc. Section 1. That
there shall be coined at the several
mints of the United States silver dol
lars of the weight of 412i grains, troy,
of standard silver, as provided in the
uctof Jan. 18, 1873, on which there
shall be devices and superscriptions
provided by said aot, which coins, to
gether will) all silver dollars hereto
fore coined by the United States of
like weight and fineness, shall be le
gal tender at their nominal value for
all debts and dues, public and private,
except where otherwise provided by
contract, and any owner of Bilver bul
lion may deposit the same at any Uni
ted States coinage mintor assay office
to be coined into such dollars for his
benefit, upon thesame terms and con
ditions as gold bullion is deposited for
coinage under existing law.
Sec. 2. All acts and parU of acts In
consistent with the provisions of this
act ate hereby repealed.
The amendment proposed by the
Senate committee strikes out all after
the word "contract, " In the first sec
tion, providing for the deposit of bul
lion in the mints, etc., and substitutes
the following:
And the Secretary of the Treasury
is authorized and directed, out of any
money in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated, to purchase, from time
to time, silver bullion, at the market
price therefor, not less than $2,000,
000 per month nor more than 54.000.
000 per mouth, and cause the Bame to
be coined into such dollars, and any
gain or seguiorage arising from this
coinage shall be accounted for and
paid into the Treasury, as provided
under the existing laws relative to the
subsidiary ooinage ; provided, that the
amount of money at any one time In
vested in such silver bullion, exclu
sive of such resulting coin, shall not
exceed $5,000,000.
The bill will, it is thought, pas the
Senate as it originally passed the
House.
There could not Je a more crushing
rebuko to the gold organs in Chicago
and elsewhere, who are decrying sil
ver and attempting thus to impair one
of our greatest sources of wealth', than
that administered by the London
Times in its editorial printed in our
special dispatches yesterday. The
Times advances in this article almost
the identical dootrine proclaimed for
weeks by the Inter Ocean, and its
words are well worth repeating. It
says:
Repudiation is a word that can in no
sense strictly apply to the United States
supposing it should decree silver as the
sole laiojul money of to-morrow, and
we doubt whether the bondholders
would lose muoh by the change. At
the present pries of silver, say fifty-
five pence per oh nee, the loss to the
bondholders would be much smaller
than ie commonly supposed. If paid
off at par in gold in New York his $1,
000 bond would be worth 2061 4s in
Loudon, and if paid in silver, it would
be worth 1911 12s. a difference of 7 per
cent only, and it is not for a moment
to be supposed that the difference
would remain so great for a single day
were silver again monetized we should
probably see it at once jump to fullu
five shillings per ounce at which price
the above loss would be nearly obliber'
ated.
Is it not humiliating that, with such
an expression from the central organ
of opinion in England, we should
have newspapers in our midst oppos
ing with might and main thismeasure
of policy and justice? Inter Ocean.
A Counterfeit Bank Notei
The Treasury Dept., Washington,
issues the following warning :
A new CounterfeitFive-Dollar Note
on the First National Bank of Han
over. Pa., has made its appearance.
The paper is very thin and color dark.
Date February 20. 1864, and bearing
signatures of F. E. Spinner and L.E.
Chittenden.
About September 20. 1877, a well-executed
Counterfeit Five-Dollar Note
on the First National Bank of Tama
qun, Pa., made its appearance. Upon
the face of this Note, the letter "S" in
the word "DOLLARS'' has a blurred
look, as though done in printing. On
the back, the word "owing" Is spell
ed "ownlg," and the word "thous
and" ia spelled "thousand."
The Counterfeit Five-Dollar Note
on the First National Bank of Han
over. Pa., is printed from the same
counterfeit-plate as the "Tamaqua."
and bears the same characteristics,
with Hip exception that the word
"owing" has been corrected, but two
dots can be discerned over the word.
Secretary Sehurz says President
Hayes was elected by the skin of his
teeth, the Liberal Republicans voting
for him, and thus saving him from de
feat. This, he argues, proves how im
portant and how necessary the sup
port of the Liberals Is. But Grant In
1872 received an overwhelming major
ity, with all the Liberals against him.
How will Mr. Sehurz explain the fact
that in 1872 Liberal opposition gave
Grant a handsome majority, and Lib
eral support elected Haj'es iu 1876 on
ly by the skin of hh teeth? The fls
urew would indicate that the Republi
can partv makes a better fight with
out the Liberals than with them.

In making Us seventh annual announce
ment. The Inteu Ocean reassured Its read
ers and the public generally of Its faith In
the Republican party and its devotion to
Republican principles. Its record during the
past year has rrlade it more than ever before
the great Representative Republican paper
of the country. The value ot such a paper
and Its Influence for good were never more
apparent than during the electoral compli
cations ol last fall and winter, The course
of The Ihtkr Ocean during that trying pe
riod won for it the admiration and lasting
friendship of Republicans everywhere. As
an exponent of true Republicanism, to
which the public turned for advice and for
encouragement, Tue Inter Ocean stood
throughout the momentous struggle without
a peer.
There never was a time when Republicans
more need a Journal steadfast and true tnan
now. Never before. In the history of the
country, has there been a period of such po
litical interest aud Inquiry as is now in the
immediato future. Great questions are to
be dlacusted and dlspcsed of;" embarrassing
complications are to bo grappled with ; fun
damental principles are to be defended, Re
publican to the core. The Inter Ocean will
give all possible information on all political
topics, and, while treating opponents with
thegreatest fairness, will maintain its high
standing as an earnest and outspokeh advo
cate of uncompromising and unadulterated
Republicanism.
While TiiE Inter Ockan stands second to
no paper In the country as a political Journ
al, It takes high rank as an enterprising nnd
thorough-going newspaper. During the
past year it has eclipsed all Western papers
in the excellence, completeness, and reliabil
ity of Its foreign dispatches and letters, and
has had few equals In presenting In most
readable shape general and home news. In
every part of the world great events are oc
curring, with probabilities pointing to more
Important In the future. Never before was
a good newspaper so important to both
young and old.
In all that goes to make a first-class
newspaper, The Inter Ocean Is not ex
celled by any publication lnjthe country. It
Is a national newspaper, one that will be
found useful nnd Interesting to Americans in
overy part of the globe. While It especially
represents the great Interests of the North
west, it is national in its views nnd com
prehensive In Its news gathering.
The Inter Ocean makes especial claim as
A family paper, devoting more attention
than any other political newspaper to de
partments prepared and conducted with the
wants of the home nnd the demands of the
family In view.
THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Is
conducted with great care, and everything
posslblo Is done to make the market reports
reliable and complete.

and experience,
THE HOME DEPARTMENT Is of special

and everything that will lmproveaud extend
It.
THE WOMAN'S KINGDOM Is a new de
partment devoted to the interests of that
large portion of the gentler sex who, either
from necessity or otherwise, desire to devote
themselves to somo useful occupation or pro
fession, for the purpose of earning a liveli
hood. It Is not for the advocacy of any par
ticular Issue, but for the female character Jn
every department of life.
THE QUESTION AND ANSWER DE

Inter Ocean, is a valuable encyclopedia of

in the Northwest. It Is sent to moro than 8,-oOOpost-ofilces,

SCRIBXER'S MONTHLY FOR 1S7S.
Without recalling the excellence of the past,
the publishers of Scribner's Monthly announce,
for the year to come, the following papers :
The Picruaisqur Sior or American Farm
Lin. This subject will be treated in a series of
separate papers engaged from writers who stand
in the front rank among American!, both in
qualities of style and in keen insight of nature.
Mr. R. Robinson, author of a delightful pa
per on "Fox Hunting in New England" in the
January number, will represent the same section
in this series. John Burroughs, whose paper on
similar topics have been a highly prized and pop
ular feature of Scribner, will write of Farm Life
ia New York. Maurice Thompson, the poet
naturalist, will describe the characteristics of
Western farming, of which but little has been
written. It is expected that the illustration of
this series will be of a refined and typical charac
ter, commensurate with the subject-matter. It
is thought that no paper or scric3 of papers yet
issued in Scribner will so fully realize the con
stant desire of the magazine to keep out of the
ruts, and, both in text and illustrations, to ob
tain quality rather than quantity, and to- print
fresh, strong and delicate work from original
sources.
"Roxy." by Edward Eggleston (author of
'The Hoosier Schoolmaster," Sec). This new
novel will doubtless be the most important
American serial of the year. The first number
was published in November. Those who have
read it in manuscript declare Roxy to be much
the most striking and remarkable story this au
thor has ever written. It is illustrated by one of
the ablest of the younger American painters Mr.
Walter Shirlaw, President of "The American
Art Association."
Americzn SroRTS. Some of the most novel
and entertaining of these papers are yet to appear
the scenes of which will be in the West, the
Middle States, the South, New England anJ
Canada.
Otrr-or-DooR Pamrs, -by John Burroughs,
author of "Wake Robin,' Itc, will contain not
only articles on Birds, but on "Tramping,'
"Camping Out," and kindred topics. Mr. Bur
roughs papers will begin in the January num
ber, the first being entitled "Birds and Birds,"
and illustrated by Fidelia Bridges.
Architecture or Birds Dr. Thomas M.
Brewer will contribute four exquisitely illustrated
articles on birds-nets, which every lover of na
ture will delight in. Dr Brewer has prcbably
the finest collection of birds' eggs in the world
to draw upon for the illustration of these papers.
The Saddle-Horse. Col. George E. Ward
ing, with whose excellent work of various sorts
our readers are familiar, contributes two illustra
ted articles on the hone. He treats specially of
saddle-horses and and their use for pleasure and
for sport including toad-riding, fox hunting and
racing. The nature of the English thorough
bred and that of his Eastern progenitor (the
Arabian) arc fully considered in relation to these
uses.
Saxe Holm. New stories by this popular
writer will be given in early numbers of Scrib
ner, beginning with "Joe Hale's Red Stock
ings," to appear in Jznuary This "novelette"
chronicles an episode of the late war for the
Union.
"His Inheritance." By Adeline Trafton,
so well begun in the Midsummer Holiday num
ber, will be continued nearly through the year.
It will be found to be of increasing interest to
the very end.
"A Knight or Fortune." Hjalmar Hjorth
Bojesen's new novel will be begun in Scribner
at the conclusion of "His Inheritance." It will
reveal a phase of American society undreamed of
by most of our readers, and will be certain to in
crease the reputation of the writer as a master of
English and ofhis art.
The Editorial Departments will continue
to employ the ablest pens in America, and will
include the present admirable summary of En
glish publications. Besides the special articles
above enumerated, the magazine will contain Po
ems, Sketches, Essays, Reviews, and shorter Sto
ries of the highest character. A large practical
reduction in price is made by an increase in the
number of pages.
The Illustrations of the Magazine in varie
ty and excellence of designs and in typographical
execution, will continue to be in advance of those
of any other popular magazine at home or
abroad.
Subscription price, $4.00 a year, payable in
advance to us or to any book-seller.
No club rates or other discounts to subscribers.
The Magazine is worth all it costs, and its cir
culation is increasing in a constant and steady ra
tio from year to year.
