No mm-'}smrm WERE EVER LEGAL TENDERS, It is a dificnlt matter to treat with pa. tience thoso persons who deliboratcly ignore “facts for the purpose of making out any par- ticalar casa io hand, and espocially after tho faots have been plainly and uumistekably sot Lefore them. Whother or not the 7.30 Tressury note-bonds lssued by the Gov- ernmont were lrgal-tender, is o mera ques- tion of fact, and ought to be finally disposed of on the authority of tho law and tho Treas- ury officials who wero charged with tho exocution of the law, The evidenoo of both tho lnw and the officlals is to the effect that not onb dollar of theso 7-30 notes or bonds was & legal-tender, aud yet in the very face of this incontestibleproof the *flatists” and thoir recklcss organa reiterato that tho ontiro authorized issuo of $800,000,000 was legal- tenders! On tho very same day that Tuz Tamoxe prints the teslimony of United Btates Treasurer (hrrnuax; of AMr. Mo- Prresoy, Chicf of tho Bureau of Engravin and Printing; of Mr, Baxes, Chiof af tha'| Loan Division ; of tho records of the Treas- ury Department, and of the véry “plates on witich the 7-80 notes’ werd printed,—all to (he effect that not one of them was ever mada legal-tender,—(be Jnter-Ocean is im- pertinent and unscrupuious enough to re- nssert that, ‘‘na n matter of fucl, they wore legni-tenders,” Such an assertion, under tho circumstancen, cannot be regarded ns » mere wmistake; it must have been o doliberately- uttered falsohood, The writer must have known ho was folling a lie, but determined to stick to it and face It oul becauso ho kad told it 80 often befora. Tho purpose of this le s to show that there Lina been o * frightful contraotion of tho currency.” * To make this out it is nec- ossnry to treat tho issde of 7.30 bonds ns Uulited States legal-tender wotes. It may bo remarked that these 7-303 were retired Lefore tha cloae of the flsanl year of 1869, o that, even if thoy had been legal-tender, thelr withdrawal would cut no figuro in the prosont complaint about a contraction of the currency, They wora all out of the way Jour years beforo the panic. It was six yoars after they disappoared beforo anybody began to complain about any scarcity of monoy ; indeed; the fact that their rotire- ment did not excito any comment, andisonly referred to now, ucarly ten yeans aftor thoy disappenred, is the bost evidonoo, nsida from the testimony of the law and Treasury offi- clals, that they never served as currency. Tho withdrawal of apy such enormous sum of legal-tender or currency would have been felt at thot time; people would not have walted ton yoars to refor to it. The I.-0.-U., not satisfied with falgely in- vesting the 7303 with a logal-tender quality which they never posuested, also alleges that #tho banks held them as reserces, thereby releasing & Jiko amount of grecubacks, and In various ways they took the place of green. backs to a large amount,” Thiyis likowise » deliborate falsehiood. Binco the 7-10 bouds were not legal-touder they could not be held Ly the bauks as reserces, for it was only logal- tonder money which lawfully sorved for bank reserves, Moroover, ovon if these 7-30 notes had beon mads legal-touder under the law nuthorizing their issue (by making tho total interost payable ab maturity), thoy still could not have been used by the baoks a8 “‘rescrves,” for the law (Juno 30, 1884,) reads ot tho conclusion of the socond section # Nor shall any ‘I'rensury uote bearing iuter ercat, fssued under this act, bo alegal-tender in peyment or redemption of any notes is- sued by any bavk, Lauoking aasociation, or banker, calculated or intended to circulate a3 money.” 'They could not, theretore, have surved to *‘rulense” any greenbacks thut wero required to be Leld by the bauks as “ reserves,” A correspondent of the £..0.-U., not will- fug o te qutright a« that journal docs, suys that “they wero logaldendar in' fuct, aud s0 wicd always while in the hands of tho people. This person evidently docsn'’t kaow what lgallender means, Notbing can Lo legal-tonder in fuct unless it i legal-tonder by law, ‘The function of legal-tender ia to discharge indebteduess by tho proffer of tle curroncy which the law compels all men to take, Tha 7340 bonds were neyer legal. touder in fuct any woro than any other class of bouds, becsuse nobody could be forced to teko them for debt o forfeit his claiwm, When they passed from one person to su- other ft was merely & matter of wmutaal agreement, just s when other 'bounds and securities aro passed aud voluntarily aocept. ed in discharge of lisbilitiw. Such was the case when thess 7-30 bonds wese paid out to some extent to thy army, Mr. Frusespey, anch pavments, said *he availed himself of nteish expressed by many officers and sol- diers.” He did not try to furce these non. legal-tendor bond-notes upon the army ; he @ave them in eases where they were desired, and thoy were asked for asany other class of bonds might have been, beeanso the soldiers and officers receiving them could send them home and havo them put away to draw interest. 8o thero may have been other occasionnl and exceptional transnc- tious when 7-30 bonds were paid and naccepted,—~not ns a legal currency, but only 08 the same {ravsaction mny occnr to-doy with the 4 por cent bonds, Tho great mass of them, Lowever, sought the vaults, and were only taken out to cut off the conpons calling for semi-nnanal interost, The 1.-0.-U. further says that, *‘So far a8 the iasuo of $231,000,000 under the act of 1864 is concerned, which it saya could not havo beon made, if it will look at Sccrotary McCorroca's report, page 38, Finance Roport of 1868, it will find tho exact amount to bo Q204,400,000." Taxe Trroowe did not say thot £234,000,000 of 7.30 bonds could not have boon issued under tho law of 1864; tho statoment was hat no such amount could have been mado legaltender nun- der nny circnmatances, for the following reasons: Tho net outhorized an fssuo of $200,000,000 in bonds snd $200,000,000 in notes, and gava the Secretary of the Troasury nuthority to make the notes legal-tender by complying with cortain conditions. A sup- plementary nct enabled bim to issue notes in liou of tho bonds originally provided for, but probibited bis making this supplemon- tary issue legal-tender; therofore thoro could nover have been moro than $200,000,000 of legat-tonder 7-30s in nuy case. As a watter of fact, as several times cxplainod, those so- called notes were all printed with conpons, the intorest was paid somi-nnnually oo all of them, and henco, by tho terms of tho law, not one dollor was ever legel-tonder. This lias now been absolutely demonstrated, and there can be no mors room for doubt,dispute, or controversy about it. -Yet we shall not be surprised if the L.-0..U. and other * fiat- ists” go on lylng sbout it just aa if their falsifications had not been overwhalmingly exposed, FAILURR OF THE CITY COUNCIL RING. ‘fhe McCarpner-Watken.Periouat Ring, which ia socking to oust the present con- tractors on ‘the City-Hall and secure n new contract for its own bonefit, with a half-mill- ion of dollnrs steal in it, mot with another defent when the resolution for stopping the work catuo up on the question of passing it over the veto, The Council leaders of the Ring ondenvored to secure delay by referring tho matter to the Commiltea because thoy had convinced thomsclves that they could not obtain tho requisite two-thirds vote that night; but thoy were nusuccessful, and tho veto provailed in spite of the continued ad- Leronco of the original sixteen members to tho cause of the Ring. The honest moen in thio Council proved themsalves to Lo aa ob- atinate e the Ringaters. The now Ring Las now mot with three dofeats ; but the peoplo of Chicago are wmis- taken if they enppose that the effort to carry out this contemplated robbery will be aban- doned. ‘It looks ns though the delicate-color gang of Ring contractors, grog-sellers, and ward-bummers, who are so sorely offonded becauso the two buildings may not be of the same precise shade of dinginess two years honce, will nover abandon thoir hope of a steal till tho Luilding shall be completed and occupied. If they eucounter defeat in every movement thoy make during tho term of the presont Council, they will endeavor to elect cnongh thieves to Aldermanio soats next spring to carry out their design of robbery. This will moko the next municipal elec- tion as Important as any that has ever oceurred, and tho taxpayors will need to be on tho alert to defost combinations for forciug the tools of tho Ring upon thom. To continue tho work till epring and thon order ita demolition, sud give new contracts o the Warxen-Prazorar gang, will cost tho city even more than if the Ring had been succossful in its recont cfforts to dcstroy ‘what bad been dono on thdé structure, Oseof the penglties of popular governs ment applied to munlcipalitios fa that th taxpayers must continnally fight tho thieves, Tn most civillzed countries one defeat of o gang of public plunderers would ba ennugh, and the wen found corruptly conspiring to Lribe city logislators to Lrenk coutracts and to involve o city in o loss of hundrods of thonsands of dollars would bo zent to jail, Thero would bo an end of that particular gong ot least. DBut with us the pooplo must rely upon thelr own vigllance oud wariness to elect men yearafter yoar who will honestly protect thom from the vampires who are constantly on the lookont for public blood.
