How there car. such a thing now when but a fe w years ago the main struggle of the Republican party was against the Democratic party because the latter scoffed at greenbacks, is more than we can see. To ascertain the position it| which the two great parties of the oountry have hitherto stood on the legal-tender note, or "greenback" question, and the folly of the formation of a "greenback party," when it Is susceptible of posi­ tive proof that the republican party has not only always been the best friend, but is the father and guardian of the greenback^ while the democratic party has been its bitter enemy, it may be well to look back into the his­ tory of Its origin and its growth public esteem; It originated in 1862 as purely & re­ publican measure, suggested by- a re' publican secretary of the treasury* passed by a republican congress, ap­ proved by a republican president as a means whereby a long and bloody war brought on by the attempts of the rebel wing of the democra ic party to rule or ruin this union of states, might end in a trlumph of union and free­ dom. February 6,186^. under the manage­ ment of the staunch "old commoner,M Thad Stevens, that bill first authoriz­ ing an issue of United States legal- tcuder notes was passed by the house. The vote was. yeas 93, nays 59, the yeas (only seven democrats.) being almost entirely republican, and the nays (Which included twenty republicans) mainly democratic. Among the prom­ inent democrats who voted against the greenback on this its first appearance will be found the names of S. S. Cox, Ilolman, of Indiana, PendletoV and Vallandigham, of.Ohio, and Voohees, of Indiana, some of whom at this late day profess to be advocates and frleuds of the greenback! lu the senate the i»i 11 was passed by an affirmative vote ol 30, of whom 25 were republicans-- only three republicans voting against it! The bill become a law February 26,1862. The reason why the legal tender clause was put into the act at the sug­ gestion or the republican secretary of the treasury, S. P. Chaso, was because of the refusal of 'V»me persona and sgme institutions which refused to re­ ceive and pay" out United States notes and thus depreciated them. These "persons" and "institutions" were of the democratic faith, and their effort was to cripple the government in its war on the southern wing of the dem­ ocratic party for the preservation of the union. This is the precise lan­ guage of Mr. Secretary Chase's letter of January 29.1862 to Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, which led to the enactment of the legal-tender measure: * * * But, unfortunately there are some persons and some institutions u hich refuse to receive and pay them (U. S. notes) and whose actiou tend not merely to the unnecessary depre­ ciation of the notes, but to establish discrimination in business against tlmse who. in this matter, give a cordial support to the government, and in fa­ vor of those who do not. Such dis­ crimination should, it possible, be pre­ vented; and tin* provision making the notes legal-tender, in a great measure at least/prevents it, by putting all cit­ izens, in tiiis respect, on the same level both of rights and duties. * Tin?democratic opposition was In­ tended to help the rebellion and crip­ ple the union treasury. That was the motive. It was founded upon the prer fence that the issue of legal-tender greenbacks was unconstitutlonal.T- That was the pretext. The democrats hated the greenback before Its birth, at its birth, and until bv republican legislation it grew strong and beauti­ ful. They still hate it. But with dev­ ilish cunning tjiey now pretend to love It, and, with fond carouses would em­ brace It only to its destruction and un^ doing.--Aurora News. J®"The Aurora Beacon says: Stough- ton talks abojut "conspiracy of the mon­ ey power,"^o bind shackles upon working men,A its a nice sounding phrase; but we remember that a little while before, the , grand speculative bubble burst in 1873, the "Hon." gen- tlemtn returned from Europe. He then Informed us that he had been making arrangements to Open an of­ fice In London, for the sale of high in- tejrest bearing American securities.-- The market for them' was good, and the commissions large. Here was our virtuous Stoughton quite willing to help weld the shackels of debt, in the shape ot high interest bearing bonds, upon the American tax payer--because the commidtiions were large. But the bubble burst, S tough ton's fortune was lost, and he is now busy trying to urge the people to inflation so he may* have securities to sell at high rates of com mission. He has a big eye to the maiu chances. • - . 1 , '.a ;';t. Examine two <UJ!erent " Beared Courtland Wagons it E. M. Owen's COBRTNKV AND HANLAN. A good deal has been said about, thfe 8ellingTbv Courtney of the great raoe which, was rowed a few days since at "Lachlne, Canada. Though not better versed in aquat ic matters than the aver­ age man, the writer wishes to do what he can to negative the influence s>t this too common opinion. I was fortunate enough to see the race, which was the finest aquatic contest I ever witnessed.. From the start to the finish each man was evidently doing his best to win, and victory would have clowned the efforts of our famous sculler had his rugged sense of honor not prompted him to back water at the finish rather than foul Ills antagonist. Being "in a position directly opposite the men, I could see easily that the giant form of ] in| the Union Springs sculler was a good half-boat's length ahead of the Toronto boy. and no words can express the en­ thusiasm of his friends at this moment. But he was out of iiis water, and look lug eagerly around for his bnoy. he let Haitian cross his bow, and the race was lost. It is to bad that our countrymen are so ready $o believe In such stories as we hear of Courtney. It is painful to think tfiat a man, of the least spark of honor, representing such a grand countrj', in a contest foi? the champion­ ship, with the eyes of liis countrymen all upon him, could stoop so low as to sell himself in that way. And I re­ gret we have no more pride than to believe so readily In such reports; for it certainly makes us look small in the eyes of foreigners.^ I believe there is no truth in the story, judging from the way the men worked, which was well shown by the time they tnade, considering the roughness of jthe wa­ ter. Every one admits that the main proof of Courtney's selling the race lies in the tnct of the odds given against him in the pools, but I think this can be easily explained;b.v the very common law of supply and demand.-- The friends of Courtney in Montreal were inconsiderable 'as compared with the hosts who came to place thelr; money on Hanlair^vhom all Canadians expected towin. The result was, when CourtujepKfrlend got all they wished to carry, there was no demand for Courtney stock, and it fell to an unwarrantable degree. Tltis uews reached New York, where the above story originated, and Courtney stock fell there al«o, aid so the belief be­ came general tthat Courtney had sold. Certainly the m&tter should be in­ vestigated, but before we have suffi­ cient proof we ahould not load down our defeated countryman with a stig­ ma little less honorable than that at­ tached to the name of Arnold. 1 have traced fiis historj-, and I have faith in the distinguished sculler of Union Springs. *And I believe, judging from the work at Lachlne, that the next contest will place again the laurel ou the brow from which it has been taken, not through superior oarsmanship, but through misfortune.--Cor. N. Y. Ex­ change. ° % 1ST Bob. Ingersoll is not in favor of an irredeemable currency, and illus­ trates the soundness of his position in a way that the most unthinking of greenback dupes might understand If he would: "A poor miwi buys soup tickets. He Is not hungry at the time of the pur­ chase, and will not be for some hours. During these hours the greenback gen­ tlemen argue there is no use of keep­ ing any soup on hand with which to redeem these tickets, and from this they further argue that if they can be gnnrl for a few linnr* without soil p. why not forever? and they would be, only the holder gets hungry. Until he Is hungry, of course he dosen't care whether any soup is on hand or not, but when he-presents his ticket he wants soup, and the idea that he can have soup when he does present the ticket, gives it its value ; and «o I re­ gard hank notes without gold or silver as of the same value as tickets with­ out soup." And the man who has a cart loajl of tickets for soup drawn against a sup­ ply which will never have an esust- ence is poor indeed. ft6?~In the public gardens of Vienna a bear underwent an operation for cat­ aract. He was blind in both eyes. A strong leather collar was fastened firm­ ly around his neck, and the attached chain passed around the bar of the cage. Two powerful men pulled him np. so that a sponge containing chloro­ form might be applied to his nose.-- The first evidence of the action of the chloroform, was a diminution in his struggles; one psiw dropped and then the other. The door of the den was opened, and his head laid on the plank outside. The cataracts were removed and the bear was drawn back again in­ to his cage. Next morning he came out of his den staring about him, c#- ing nothing for the light, licking his paws, and evidently glorying in the recovery of sight.

All through the summer the White Rouse has been as dull aud silent as a "Boquet kali deserted," no portions open save the first large corridor and the great East Room wliejre the linen- covered furniture aud tarlton-draped chandeliers reminded one of past splen­ dors and gayeties departed. Every­ thing was In good order, of couise, and the handsome grounds" without were perfectly kept, but there was every­ where evidenced an unspeakable, silent not at-home air, such as one can see, indeed, In and about many another great establishment here during the summer months. But week before last the Executive Mansion wakened from Its summer droning anil took0on the busiest, liveliest, tone imaginable. The Presidential family returned, visitors came and went, continual axe-gritiding went on. and the ushers and door-keep­ ers were stifled with cards of callers.-r Ahd last week, Saturday, the climax of activity was reached when the presen­ tation of the Chinese Embassy to the Administration took place In the Blue Room loveliest apartment in the White House. The actual scene was very much like all that are witnessed when foreign diplomates are first offi­ cially presented to the Pre&ideut, the ceremony and formalism being simi­ lar; but the costumes of the Orientals were curious and picturesque In the cxtsemes. Pagoda hats, loose blouses, slashed skirts aud baggy trousers.-- The Embassador, Chin Lau Pin, wore richer and liner clothing than the rest, his hat being plumed and jeweled; blouse, velvet collared; skirt, of heavy silk, and trotfeers elaborately embroi­ dered; while at his side hung a dag­ ger with sheath and hilt thickly stud­ ded with diamonds and other precious stones. The Chief Embassador is about 70, stout, portly, and pleasant countenanced Since the arrival heiti of the Embas­ sy, the Chinese Embassador has re­ ceived the sum of $100,000, deposited in the San Francisco sub-Treasury, and a tele*graphic|ii-ansfer to this city has beenifnade. The U. S. Treasury made the transfer without charge, as a mat­ ter of courtesy, which was the same thing as giving the Embassy $1,000.-- Chin Lan Pin wrote a p^Life note of thanks to the Treasurer for the favor. He and his Assitant Minister have been through with the usual custom of foreign ministers, and called upon all the other dlplomat.es, leaving cards.-- The Celestials each left two cards, oue inscribed in English and the other in Asiatic characters. "Sir Edward Thorn­ ton, English Miniiter, was the fires to return the call, and these high aud mighty dignitaries sa£hstiffly. with a narrow board between them(which the same it was brought from China) and sipped tea together. The credentials of office which were read to the President at the time of the presentation of the Embafsy to him were written upon a strip of parchment about 4 feet long and neat­ ly rolled upon a piece of saudal wood. The writing was in Chinese,)) of course, largely and plainly inscribed, the characters resembling those we s^e on tea chests, aud no one will say that Sec'y Evarts is incapable of joking who saw him, with gravest face and immovable countenance, place these hieroglyphics before the President, as an interpreter was reading it, and say "Mr. President, please to look over the original and see if the translation Is literal.* Contrary to the general expectation, the reports reaching us from the yel­ low fever districts continue as distres­ sing as ev^f.
