It is & mistako to Buppose that wo eannot resume specio payments till there is gold onough in tho Troasury to take up the whole £882,000,000 of greenbacksin circulatibn, When tho groonback is ‘on a par with gdid, whon it is known that tho Governmont intends to redoem every groonback in gold, and thero ia orough ‘gold to inwuro redomplion of the probublo amount that will bo presented, the quostion of resumption wlll bo solved, It is not nocorsary, | nor dosirablo, that all tho money in the country should be metallic.

The peoplo of the country, if thagreonback passed forits faco value in gold, would not all rush to obtan gold for it at tho ‘same timo.

Grant is the Republican party. Ho cannot bo thrown .aside Lk an old garment, o connot bo united against himself. With- out Gon, Grant, the party is without a head, THE WISOONSIN CONSTITUTION: In tho woll-known Dartmouth College caso, tho Buproms Court of tho United Btatos held that & law altering the chartor of any corpora- tion in & material provision, without tho consent of tho corporation, was a Inw impniring the ob- ligation of a contract, and, thereforo, void. Tho offoct of thia doolsion was to make all chartors porpotual and inviolate, 8o long as tho corpora- tionn obinining thiom oxorclaed tholr franchises faithfully,—oxcopt, of courso, whoro tho Gen- eral Governmont had expressly rosorved to itaclf tho right of roponl or modification. No mattor how disedvantagoous to tho public tho exorcise of a franchiso might bocome, tho ehartor grant- ing {t could mnot bo ropomled. [f it bo- camo - & tax on the many for , the bonefit of - tho few, all tho . many could do waa to *grin and bonr it.” A bundrod ora thousand yores might roll mway sinco tho corporation was chartored; its relations to tho publio might havo changed for tho worso, yat #o long as tho Conatitution of the Unitod Btatas yo- toinod a provislon that no Siato should pass a Inw impairing the obligation of contrdois, so long tho chinrter must romain unchanged, no mattor what tho consoquences, After tho decision was made, and to obviste any bad effects, which it might have, s provision wps introduced into the Constitution of tho Blato of Wisconsin, and, wo bolieve, of somo othor Btatos, resorving to the Loglslaturo the right to alter, modify, or ropeal ‘any chartor. granted to any corporation what- ovor. Tho flrst attompt malorially to modify n charter has been tho' ro- cont Wisconsin legislation fixing n tariff for tho railroads of that Stato. It is claimod by tho frionda of these acts that thoy are conatitu- tionnl; that tho right to modify tho charters of tho companies is absolute, ana may bo oxercised arbitrarily snd without any proliminary {uvesti- gation as o whether the roads have abused their- franchises, or as to the effect of the modification on tho properly rights of tho ownors of tho roads. . They maintain, in other words, that for no reason whatever, arbitrarily, becauso such is the good will and pleasure of the Legislature of ‘Wiaconsin, it is constitutional in that State to require auny corporation, railway, or firo tmsur- anco, or printing company, with & charter, to'do busiudes just as tho Logislature shiall distato; to chargo such rates as it shall préseribe, whetber in B0 conducting its business and charging such rates it loses money or not. The courts have not yot paesod on tho ques- tion whether this is tho proper interprotation of the provision of the Wisconsin Constitution or not. If it shonld be held tbat this is tho proper fntorprotation of thal article, it scoms to us that, in endeavoring to aveld the couge- quences of the Dartmouth Colloge case, that State has been jumping out of the frying-pan into the fire. In its auxicty that its sovereignty should not bo impnired, it has gone n great way to impair the rights of individusls, and to strike 8 blow at the credit and dovelopment of tho Btat, If the Constitution of the Stato of Wis- consin says that the Logislaturs mny, arbitravily and withont cause, modify the chartor of any corporation, railrond corporation, bankiig cor- poration, manufacturing or insuranca company in tho Btate; if it says that such corporatious havo no rights tuat tho Btato is bound to respect, what oncouragoment will thero be to establish such corporations thore? ‘Who is going to put money in them? Where could Wiscoosin, to- day, ind monoy cuough to build ton miles of railroad ? 'Tho provision in the Wisconsin Con- stitution glving tho Legislature: tho nghtto repoal or modify a chartor is p gdod one, pro- |: vided it is not mado to not ‘ms o conflscatig dlause, Itias bad ono If it will deprivoany citizon of tho Unitad States of his property with- ' out dus process of law. Not aibitrarily, but for good causo shown, should it authorize the modl- fleation or ropeal of tho chartor of & corporation, Tho Constitution of Wisconsin, if intorpreted Dy tha courts us it {s by somoof ita cltizona, will bo a bad thing for the crodit and for tha future devolopmont of its rerources. ot st P =3 HOW' WILL ILLINOIS VOTE?!

Tho realg- nation of tho six Indian Commisslonors who bo- longed to tho originnl Board is tho last scone in smost oventful drama of ragcality,—a drama that ia full of plot and countarplot, and ono that dif- fors from tho atage play in that the scoundrels have not mot with thoir righteous punishmont ak ita closo.

A Board of ton civile inns was appointed by tho Prosident in’ socord- anco with thoe Iaw of April, 1869, which provided for the establishmont of an Indian Commission which should have concurront jurisdiotion with tho Becrotary of the Interior on Indian oxpendi- tures. It was especially charged with the duty of passing upon vouchors, This was intrusted to tho Exocutive Committeo, Messra. Georgo H. Btuart, Robers Campboll, John V. Farwell, and William E. Dodge. None of tho Commissionors recoivad any salary. Four of thom rosignod.

Aftor July 1, 1872, bo donied thom’tho oppor-, tunity of doing eo, on the ground that tho act of Mny 20, 1872, made it unnocessary, In January, 1878, the question was ‘referred to Assistant Attornoy-Goneral Smith, who reported that the Baard had tho power it claimed. What followed? From :March 1, 1873, to Jan, 1, 1874, tho Board rojeoted, as fraudulent, vouchers for 8426,909,00. One of thom was for $88,062.80 in favor of Gon. -Granville M.

Dolano had this paid, Btill anotber was for $23,415.38 in behalf of D, J. McCann, Delano had this paid. A fourth was for $30,847.58 for P. H.

Thus, while the law and the public hold the Commissioners responsible for the money pud on Indian contracts, their offorts to provent rascality ara systomatically foiled by Benator Cameron's friond and business-partnor, tho Sccretary of tho Interior.
