Pensiou Office and there wa: no of.,

Tanner, who was the Commissioner
o Pensions, allowed the claim. But
hear Tanner : "I knew absolutely o!
my owu knowledge, through my
own eyesight that Gen. Dudley's le:
was amputated no near the kue
that he had always wom an artifi

A medical examination by
alt the doctors in Christendom
would uot have changed my opiuion
regarding the condition of that
stump. I know an amputated leg
when I see one. I have had occa
sion ro look at a pair ot them Hiuce

Free Coinuge of Oiold.
A correspondent writes in relation
to au article which recently appear
ed in the Picayune on the free coins
age of gold, as follows :
'If I recollect correctly tho poni.
tion of the writer is that the mint
receives the gold and returns a like
weight iu gold coin to ihe depositor,
leaving a profit of about 11 percent,
in the hands of the government. Is
there uot an error in this statement!
Why should tho owner of the fine
gold sell it to the government fo
about &18.GC5 per ounce, when the
dealers in bullion will give about
5520 67 per ounce
As the above shows a misappre
hension of the fact as stated by us
iu the article iu question, aud as the
matter is one of no little public in
terest in connection with the gener
al discussions upon coinage at this
time, it will not be out ot place to
present some explanation of the
free coinage of gold.
The United States Revised Stat,
utes, section 3511, providing the de
nominations and values of the gold
coins of the United States, declares
that the unit of these coins shall be
the one dollar-piece of the weight
of twenty-five and eight-teuthe
grains, expressed in figures by 25.
80
The half oagle, or 5 piece j
shall weigh 129.00 grains ; the eagle.
or 10 piece, shall weigh 258.00
grains; and the double eagle, or 820
piece, shall weigh 516.00 grains all
troy weight.
Section 3514 declares that th
standard for both gold and silver
coins of the United States shall be
such, that of 1000 parts by weight,
900 parts shall be of pure metal and
100 parts or alloy. The latter is not
counted in the value of the coin, be
ing a mixture of copper and silver,
the latter being uot more than one
tantb of the mixture.
It will be seen then that all the
coins consist of ninertenths pur?
metal and one tenth alloy. The
one dollar gold piece must weig;
25.80 grains of troy. Of this weigh
23.22 grains are pure gold and
2.5S
grains are alloy.- The other coiDr
are all in the same proportion. A;
tho rate ot 23 22 grains of pure gol
to one dollar, it will be seen th;;
one ounce of pure gold conlamin;
10 grain?, will he worth 20.67 anc,
a very little fraction more. Bu
since ail our com in alloyed to th
i'xtf-nt of onr-tenth, it will be seer
while an ounce of pure gold is
worth, ?:iy S'JO.tiT, an ounce of Unit
ed JStat-s gold coin is worth onlv
1S(0j or thereabouts.
Now when gold bullion ia deposit
ed in the mint for coinage its vain-
iu pine metal i ascertained and
rLen an equal weight of gold coin
is paid for it. It is tine that th
government makes a gross profit ot
one-tenth on the transaction, but
the cost of mintage, wasteage, ami
the like must come out ot it, so tha?
the uet profit is not bo large iu th
end, even if the government only
pays 818 60 for 67 worth of pure
gold.
But now for the question : "Why
should the owner of fine gold sell it
to the government for 18.60 when
the dealers in bullion will give about
5520.67 per ounce for it ?'' Who are
these dealers? Fine gold is pur
chased in large quantities only by
the mints ot the several nations and
by the gr -at government and private
banks ot Europe. Gold is worth
more in England than elsewhere b
cause England, uot, being a produc-
er of gold, must get it in the way of
trade from otht r countries, and ii
order to draw gold in preference to
silver rue nanK or England m the
latter part of the se.venteeth centu
ry, under the advice of Sir Isaac !
Newtou, master of the mint, increa j
ed the ratio of the value of gold over!
silver, so that gold was given a
greater proportional paying power, J
luwiruy encouraging payments m
gold. This movement forced a sub
sequent discouutenancing of silver
in all other commercial countries
and has resulted in a general de
monetization of silver.
Returning to the statement that
gold is worth more in Loudon than
elsewhere, we find that, by act of
parliament, the Bank of England is
authorized to pay for fine (pure)
;;o!d X"i,17 shillings aud 9 peuce.

States Congress fixes the value iu
America of tho British pound fiter

. 3 -six eeuis nine aim oiiOMian mills.
At this rale, the Bank of England
pays for pure gold about $18.90 per
ounce, or sav 30 cents more than is
paid by our government mints. But
it costs something in freight and in
surauce to snip gold bullion to Jjou.
don, and there would be very little
profit iu carrying fine gold from
this country. Now, since the Iiauk
of England fixes the price of pure
gold at $18.90 per ounce, it ia not
likely that any dealers will be found
to purchase it at S20.G7, when they
would have to sell it to the great
banks and mints at a loss.
Anybody can deposit gold bullion
in the mint and have it coined on
the terms stated, and this is free
coinage. But no person can have
his silver bullion coined there at
any pric. The government may or
may not purchase silver, but it will
not coin ir. for anybody's private ac
count. This means that there is no
tree coinage in silver. New Orleans

Ilcvlttioii ot Confession of
Faitli.
Portland, Oregon, May 23 At
to-day's session o the General As
sembly of the Presbyterian Church
the report of the committee ap
pointed to revise the Confession ol
Faith was presented by Dr. W. C.
Roberts. It contains two nov chap
ters one relatiug to the work of
the Holy Spirit and the other to the
missionary spirit. Besides these
(new chapters, 26 sections iu 18 oth
er ohapter8 have been changed.
Several of t he membeis of the com
mittee have signed the report bot
have made exceptions to certain
parts of it.
The section upou which there was
the most discussion is in the third
chapter and is as follows, the brack
ets indicating the omitted part :
"The rest of mankind God was
pleased saw fit, accordiug to the
unsearchable counsel of Ilia owu
will, whereby He exfendeth or with
holdeih mercy as he pleaseth for
the glory of His sovereign power
over His creatures to pass by and
to ordain them to dishonor and
wrath for their sins, to the praise of
His glorious justice ; yet neither is
any limitation put upon the offer of
salvation to all upon condition ol
faith in Christ nor is restraint laid
upon the freedom of anyone to hin
der his acceptance of this otter, yet
hath He no pleasure in the death ot
the wicked, nor ia it His decree but
the wickedness of their own hearts
which restraineth and hinderetb
ihem fiom accepting the free offer
of His grace made in the Gospel.
The section relating to elect in
fanta is worthy of mention. By the
old confession the inference was left
that some infants went to hell, as
the wording "elect infants" implied
that there were unouelect infants."
The new section clears that myate
ry, reading as follows :
"Infants dying in infancy and all
other persons who are not guilty of
actual transgression are included iD
the election ot grace and are regent
erated and saved by Christ through
the spirit who worketh when and
where and how He pleaseth : so also
are the elect persons who are uot
outwardly called by the minister of
the Work."
The other change in a section re
latiugto the Roman Catholics in S
the unrevised confession. Iu the I
revision the sectiou reads as follows:
"The Lord Jesus C hrist is the only
head of the Church, and the claims
of the Pope of Rome or any
other Roman authority to be the
Vicar of Christ and head of the
Church universal is without warraut
iu Scripture or fact, aud is an usurp
Hon to the diNuonoriug of the Lord
Jesus Christ."
In another chapter where refer-
ijeuoo is made to the Roman Catholic
Church, the change is from "Pop'sl
sftorifi of tii .,aQ" t
Catholic doctrine ot the nucrifice of
the mass."
Those who hav opposed revision
from the out-et intend to make a
tiht on tha constitutionality of this
Assembly taking definito action on
the report, claiming that by a new
rule ol the law, made at Detroit last
year, this report must go to a special
committee appointed fcr the pur
pose of receiving it and who shall
decide Whether or not the changes!
proposed shall be leeom mended to
the Presbyteries for adoption.
Though the conservatives were de feated
two years ago and a revision
! ordered, it is possible that even now
by a technicality they may defeat
the entire work, as tho committee
-.appointed at this meeting to revision
Ah unnecessary or unwise.
