J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR.
SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1876.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
The farmers around Clear Water Harbor,
according to tho limes, have corn nearly
knee-high, and have planted watermelon
seed.
The Clear Water Times is discussing the
profits of bee culture in that section. The
word “Homosassa” means “Bee Range,”
and is said to have been conferred in conse
quence of the numbers of those busy little
insects in that portion of the State.
Orlando had a calico ball last Monday.
A party of Georgians arrived at Mellon-
ville the other day in wagons. They had
been six weeks on the road.
The Sanford Journal says that Dr. Henry
Fostor, of Lako Jesup, is Contemplating tho
erection of a steam pump for the purpose
of irrigating his orange grove near that
place.
ihe Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer says that
the body of C. J. Mason, a deck passenger
on the Julia, who stepped from the deck
two weeks ago and was drowned, was found
at Bristol, Florida, about one hundred and
fifty miles below the scene of the accident.
The lifeless remains were discovered by
Messrs. A. J. Simons and Thomas Jackson,
and were interred in the cemetery at Bristol.
On his body was found fourteen dollars and
sixty cents in curreucy and fifty cents in
silver, and his trunk key. The corpse had
floated many a mile, when it landed among
some cane near Bristol.
The same papgf says that at Heywood’s
Landing, in Florida, on Saturday two horses
were drowned in the river. A negro man
was driving them to a wagon. When near
the stream they were force 1 furiously to
back. The animals became frightened and
backed into the water, and got so far iu as
to be entangled in the wagon and harness,
and were drowned. Tho negro, who had
been very careless, fled, and has not since
been heard of. The horses belonged to Mr.
Adams, and were valued at $300, which sum
had been refused a short time previously.
Their loss can be illy sustained, as Mr. A. is
not a rich man.
A correspondent of the Tampa Guardian,
writing from Polk county, states that Judge
Fortner has two and a half acres of corn or
sugar cane half leg high. He also says that
an orange tree on Peace Creek, five years
from tho seed, has produced this seasou
over three thousand oranges.
The Monticello Constitution remarks that
Jeff. Edwards, a colored convict, sent to the
S*ate prison from Leon county for stealing
cotton, escaped from said institution several
months ago, and is now iu Jeffereon county.
•He leased land the present season from Mr.
Murphy, near Waukeenah, and if Warden
Martin desires to correspond with him he cau
address him at said place. The Democratic
Executive Committee will please take down
Jeff’s name; he may want to vote iu Novem
ber.
A crazy hotel waiter was one of the attrac
tions of Cedar Key the other day.
What the Constitution felicitiously calls
a journeyman soap-maker was in Monticello
recently.
The Monticello Constitution says that for
several days past the colored Baptist Con
vention has been in session at that place,
and on Sunday night they had an “overjoy-
ful” time at tho Baptist Church. Several of
the “sisteren” became so much excited that
they got to shouting, and in the scramble
one upset a lamp, which came near setting
the building on tire, and did severely burn
a little girl, who happened to be near. It is
estimated that the congregation numbered
iu the neighborhood of one thousand souls,
all of whom became very much excited, and
immediately commenced a stampede. The
terror was intense for a while, but ascer
taining that no harm, further than the
burning of the little child had been done,
quiet was restored.
Monticello Constitution : From Mr. B. W.
Partridge, the courteous agent of the J., P.
& M. Railroad at this place, wo learn that
parties visitiDg the State Fair to bo held at
Jacksonville on the 22d inst., will be passed
ovei; tlie road to said city from any point on
the J., P. & M. R. R. for one fare and return
freo. The excursion tickets will be good tor
five days from date. All articles intended
for exhibition at the fair will be passed over
the road to Jacksonville at tariff rates, the
freight, m all instances, being prepaid, but,
upon certificate of the Secretary of the Fair
Association, will be returned free of charges.
The above rates will enable many to attend
the Fair, and should influence our citizens
to forward tho products of their fields and
gardens as contestants for the liberal pre
miums off red by tho Association. Let all
go who cau, and thereby contribute to the
success of Florida’s first State Fair.
The same paper has this: On Monday a
Thomas county darkey, who had escaped
from the chain-gang, reached Monticello,
and upon the principle that all rogues know
each other, several of our black vagrants
concluded to play a eharp trick upon the
visitor. He was enticed to a back street, an d
under the pretence that they (the vagrants)
were “officials,” a sham arrest was made.
The’" desired to be magnanimous, however,
and "propped to the Georgia negro that
if he would turn over his money and car
net-bag they would permit him to es
cape promptly acceded to the
proposition and surrendered $1 75 in money
and his satchel, and fled. Reflection, how
ever satisfied the escaped prisoner that his
captors must be imposters, and to the sur
prise of the vagrants he returned. They
were uneasy and feared that he might de
mand that his property be returned; so to
settle the poor fellow finally, they notified
tho towu authorities that he was au escaped
prisoner and after some difficulty he was
arr sted and lodged in jail. He was a pow
erful fellow and fought manfully for lib
erty.
Tallahassee Floridian : The railroad track
near this citv, on the St. Augustine road,
was the scene of a horrible tragedy last
Suudav noon betweeu two colored
named Robert Bond and Aleck Good. I bo
former attacked the latter on the track near
the road mentioned with a knife, and cut
his throat and made a terrible gash iui tin*
left side, severing two ribs, from which he
died in a few minutes. The two men have
been in the employ of Captain Houston for
several years, and were engaged principally
in hauling wood to the city. Aleck lived in a
bouse ot his own just this side of the railroad
crossing and Robert,we believe, baa.quarters
on the Captain’s plantation. They h d
uuarrelod with one another more or less tor
some timo previous to Sunday in reference
to Robert’s wife, but had always adjusted
matters without violence. On the preceding
Saturday night, the colored people in the
neighborhood had what they call a quilt-

during a play engaged in by all, Aleck

resolved on the terriblo appeal which fol

Mysterious Disappearance of Tele
grams.
[St. Louis Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.J
The statement published by Wm. Or
ton, of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, exonerating that company
from the accusation made against it of
concealing damaging evidence against
Babcock has, of course, elicited some
comment. It would seem also that the
Atlantic aud Pacific Company has also
been accused of similar practice. Assis
tant District Attorney Bliss, it seems,
went to the Washington office of the
latter named company to secure tbe origi
nals of several important messages from
Babcock to the ring people in this city,
which had been sent over the Atlantic
and Pacific line t« Davenport, and there
transferred to the Western Union Com
pany, for transmission to St. Louis, the wire
of the Atlantic aud Pacific at that time not
having been extended to St. Louis. Copies
of these messages as received here were
delivered by the Western Union Com
pany to the Prosecuting Attorney, but
Mr. Bliss, on repairing to the Washing
ton office of the Atlantic and Pacific
Company, as above stated, found it im
possible to obtain the originals, they
having unaccountably disappeared. Quite
a little scene is said to have ensued be
tween the attorney aud the manager, but
Mr. Bliss did not accomplish the object
of bis mission. The manager, however,
is now in this city, under summons of
the Circuit Court, and is reported on
good authority to have privately ac
knowledged that he was iu possession of
evidence that would, if presented m
court, fully establish Babcock’s guilt.
The evidence was in the shape of tele
grams, of which he had copies, but not
the originals.
Words Fitly Spoken.—In the closing
article of his will, the late David Snow, a
Boston millionaire, says :
“It is my earnest desire and request
that all my heirs (this, of course, is more
especially directed to the males), should
invest their means in the safe way, and
pursue some steady, permanent, legiti
mate business or employment with great
perseverance aud industry, and smeess is
sure to crown their efforts in due time.
This course is not only an honorable 1 one,
but is almost always tbe most successful
and satisfactory in the long run; whereas,
dealing in stocks and engaging in uncer
tain aud rash speculations I regard as a
species of gambling at best, a mere lot
tery, and although sometimes pleasing
aud exciting when the luck is good, still
iu the main such a course is generally
very injurious aud demoralizing, and often
ends iu ruin, both pecuniarily and mor
ally. It is my hope and ardent desire
that my heirs will ever be honest, liberal,
steady, industrious, kind to the needy,
and attend regularly some church, my
choice being, of course, the Methodist,
which has been so long so dear to me.”
Hog Statistics.—Chirago, February
12.—Messrs. Howard, White, Growell &
Co., publishers of the Commercial Bulle
tin, published their annual estimate of
the packing of the West to-day. The
total number of hogs packed and esti
mated for the season is 4,885,000, against
5,570,000 for the previous season. The
increase in weight is estimated at 7$ per
cent. net. making the total packing equal
in pounds to 5,225,000 hogs of last year's
average. The decrease in net weight is
estimated at 7,477 pounds. The decrease
in the pieoe of green meats is estimated
at 5,031,000 pounds, and the decrease in
cured meats, allowing one per cent, more
shrinkage than last year, is 65,596,000
pounds. The increase in the yield of
lard is estimated at 44 pounds, the total
production 581,000 tierces, against 592,-
00G tierces last year. The prospect for
summer liog*' is reported unfavorable,
owing to the fact that farmers have sold
closer than usual, aud the cholera has
prevailed to a greater extent than usual
among the stock hogs. The shortage in
the hog crop Last and West is estimated
jyj round numbers at one million hogs.

A Centennial Snuff Box.—A corres
pondent of the Sun, at Annapolis, says •
The centennial year has brought to light
hero a centennial snuff box that was
brought to this country from Ireland
many years ago by an ancestor of Mr.
Alexander Hutchinson. The box
is made in the shape of a
book, of poplar wood, and is about
five inches long, two and a half wide, and
a half inch thick. On the lid, (a slide
moving in a groove on the box), is in
scribed : “Let no thief steal this from
Mr. Pat. Whelan. Made by Tim. Byrn,
Nov. 11th, 1771, near Shilelah. ” On the
bottom of the box is “County of Wick
low, Half Barony of Shillelab, 1771. Bal-
lamila.” The inscriptions are cut in the
wood, and the whole affair is crude in
design, evidently the work of an amateur
artist.

Our State Government.
[From the Atlanta Constitution.]
We have noticed a disposition in some
to complain that Democratic administra
tion of our State Government is not re
ducing expenses as fast as could be de
sired. Complaint is made against both
the Legislature and the Governor on the
score of onr annual expenditures. There
seems to be no other ground of objection
than this. The times are hard, and we
are not surprised that the people should
desire an economical government. The
people are also just, and when they are
placed in possession of the facts they
will be satisfied with die manner in
which their public servants are dis
charging their duties. Radical politi
cians may denounce our present able and
incorruptible Democratic administration
without cause, but we fdfel very certain
that no Democrat, uninfluenced by per
sonal motives, will join in this un
patriotic work.
But let us look into this matter some
what, and see what, if any, foundation
there is for these assaults. And first as
to the Legislature.
Before the war members of the Legis
lature were paid, we belief?, iour aud five
dollars per diem in gold, or its equiva
lent. Say $4 per day. Since the war
they have been paid $7 per day, or $6
when reduced tt> currency at the preseut
discount. But the purchasing Dower of
$4 before the war was greater than the
purchasing power of $6 is now. Prior to
1861 board could be had at from $20 to
$40 per month. Now it costs from $30
to $90. A suit of clothing which costs
from $50 to $75 now, could then have
been bought for one-balf of these sums.
Aud so with all other articles, whether
necessities or luxuries. Whether con
sidered in the light of the actual facts.
^ therefore, the per diem now is not greater
i than it was in former times. Indeed it
will not go as far or bring as much as it
did in those days of low prices and cheap
living. Besides, a man’s time is woijh
something. Day laborers about the towns
are paid a dollar for a day’s work, while
skilled workmen are frequently paid as
high as $5. A member of the Legislature,
the chosen representative of the people
of a county, selected on account of his
fitness and intelligence, is certainly en
titled to as much, aud in our opinion
something more.
But let us turn to the facts and figures,
and test the wild assertions of some of
our cotemporaries by official documents.
Our examination has been made with
haste, but we think the following figures
will be found correct.
By reference to tbe report of the
Comptroller General for tbe year 1869,
it will be seen the legislative pay roll
for that year was $186,794 00. This
includes the per diem and mileage of
members, pay of clerks, etc., and indeed
all expenses of both branches of the
General Assembly for the year. This was
the second year under Gov. Bullock’s
administration, by which time the
legislative machinery had got to work
ing smoothly. In 1876, the second year
of Governor Smith’s administration, the
legislative pay-roll was $97,520 70, or a
little over one-half of what it was under
his predecessor. But the difference is
.still greater for the next or third year of
Radical and Democratic rule. In 1874,
the total expense of the Legislature in
Democratic hands was $104,744 70:
whereas under Bullock in 1870 the legis
lative pay-roll was $514,414 00! or as
much as the cost of all the five Legisla
tures which have met since the accession
of Governor Smith and the Democratic
party to power in Georgia. Remember,
these are official figures, and they show
a wonderful reduction in this item of our
expense.
When we turn to the Executive De
partment the exhibit of Democratic
economy will be found equally gratifying.
Some of the clerk3 wori at night, and
assist to bring up the clerical labors of
the two Houses of the Legislature when
pressed for time, and are paid a trifle for
it. The duties of the Executive office
are far more laborious aDd harassing than
they wer^ before the war. And yet the
expense for clerks in 1875 was only
$6,298 30. The total expenses of the
Executive office in 1870, as near as we
can arrive at it, was $44,824 13,or nearly
four times as much as it was last year
under Gov. Smith. The contingent,
printing and all other expenses were very
much heavier also: but we need not go
into further details.
But something has been said about
fees paid out last year for legal services.
Last year was an exceptional year in this
respect. It was found necessary to em
ploy counsel in the insurrectionary trials
in Washington and contiguous counties.
Neither the Attorney General nor any
other one man could have worked up and
attended to those cases properly, and the
personal knowledge of local counsel was
absolutely necessary to the judicious
management of them. The whole amount
paid out on this score, however, was but
little over a thousand dollars. A fee was
also paid to a distinguished lawyer for
services in the case growing out
of the act lately passed to require rail
roads to pay tax on their property. The
railway property in Georgia is estimated
to be worth nearly, if not quite, $40,000,-
OOO, and the tax on it, if paid, at about
$176,000 per aunurn. The reader will
agree with us that this is a very impor
tant case, and, however able and vigilant
we all know the Attorney General to be,
we should nevertheless consider the Gov
ernor very derelict in his duty if he did
not employ in addition the very ablest
counsel to be had. The railroads are re
sisting this tax. amounting, as already
stated, to $176,000 per annum. If an
individual had a case in court involving
that amount a year, or even one tenth of
it, he would hardly be content with one
attorney, however able and learned.
As to the small sums occasionally paid
to Solicitors General for services before
the Supreme Court in what are known as
“pauper cases,’’ tbe law makes it tho
duty of the Governor to pay for these
services when properly certified to by tho
proper court. It is not a matter of choice
with him, nor does he employ the coun
sel or, indeed, know anything about such
cases until the claims, properly certified,
are presented for paym^t.
Many cases growing out of the war.
aud out of the State Road, W6re be
queathed to Governor Smith by his pre
decessor, aud he has no alternative but
to do tho best be could with them. In
these as iu all other matters, however, he
has sought to cut down the expenses as
far os possible. In some instances coun
sel employed before he came into office
have threatened, when their claims were
not paid, to go into the courts of Tennes
see and attach so much of the State Road
as lies in that State for their fees.
Iu all other cases where professional
services were required, the explanation
is found full and complete in the facts of
the same. Bat the small sums paid out
by the present Governor dwindle into
insignificance when contrasted with the
$51,506 15 spent by his predecessor in a
single year for lawyers fees. This is more
than three times as muoh as Governor
Smith has spent during his entire admin
istration.
In conclusion, we beg leave to say that
the people of Georgia, when they com
pare their present condition under Demo
cratic rule with what it was a few years
ago, will find much cause for gratifica
tion. Much has been done and much
will yet be done. Our burdens are not
of our own making, but they are upon
us and we must bear them for a little
while longer. Our public debt is being
reduced, and in a short time our taxe-
will be trifling. Instead of criticising
the Legislature and the Governor, let us
rather hold up their hands and bid them
God speed in the good work.

observed to take home two large planks

With these, as it was subsequently dis

FLORIDA POLITICS.
Call for a Nate Convention.
The Conservative party of the State of
Florida will hold a State Convention at
Quincy, in Gadsden county, on Wednes
day, June 21st, 1876, at 12 o’clock m.. for
the selection of delegates to represent the
State in the general Presidential Conven
tion, and for the nomination of candi
dates for the offices of Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, to be voted for at
the next regular State election, and such
other business as shall come before the
convention.
Tbe different counties in tbe State are re
quested to send delegates in proportion of
one for every one hundred votes cast for
the party ticket at the last State election,
and one for every fraction of one hundred
votes exceeding fifty. It being under
stood that the convention will have the
right to change the ratio of representa
tives if it sees fit.
The counties under the above rale will
be entitled to representatives as follows :

The counties will select their delegates
either by general mass meeting or in con

the people, acting through the usual
party organizations.
All persons in favor of the general pur
poses of the party, who advocate reform
in the State government, reduction of
taxes, and honesty and economy in the
administration of the State and county
affairs, and who are opposed to burden
ing the people with heavy debts for the
benefit of private corporations, are in
vited to unite in this movement to estab
lish a good government in the place of
the corruption and mismanagement that
have so long oppressed the people.
The Democratic and Conservative pa
pers throughout the State are requested
to copy this notice.

Dij-trict Convention.
The District Convention of the First
Congressional District will be held at the
same time and place as the State Conven
tion, to wit: at Quincy, in Gadsden
county, on Wednesday, June 21, the hour
for the assembling of tbe same to be fixed
hereafter, for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for Representative in Con
gress for said District, to be voted for ut
the next general election, and to appoint
district delegates to the Presidential Con
vention of the Democratic party.
The counties will be governed by the
same rales in selecting their delegates as
have been laid down by tbe State Com
mittee in their call, and they will have
the right to send the same set of delegates
to both conventions, or a separate set to
each, as they see fit.
Arrangements will be made to pass the
members of the convention on the rail
roads and steamboats at reduced rates, as
far as practicable.
Tbe District Committee extends the
call of the State Committee to the people
of the First Congressional District, and
urges the necessity of an early and thor
ough organization of the party.

The Centennial Exhibition Grounds.
The grounds contain 420 acres, and are
nearly triangular in shape. The total
number of Centennial buildings now
completed, with those in course of con
struction, is aoout 100, and the total area
covered by the exhibition buildings pro
per—that is, not including restaurants or
other buildings not intended to contain
exhibits—will be about 75 acres, which
is nearly double the space covered by ihe
buildings at the Vienna Exposition. The
latter covered 38.8 acres, including en
closed courts; those of Paris, in 1867,
covered 31 acres; London, 1862, 25.6
acres; Paris, 1855, 22.1 acres,and London,
1851, 23.9 acres. Owing to the unusually
mild weather not a single day’s work has
been lost, and there is as much activity
at the grounds and as large an army of
busy workers as upon the balmiest day
of summer. Within an astonishingly
short time a small city almost has grown
up amid the trees and shrubbery of Fair-
mount Park. Over fifty buildings are
now in various stages of construction,
the most important nearly finished, and
many others, which are of minor conse
quence, yet incomplete. The greatest
variety in form and style is observable—
from the many turreted iron and glass
main building, with its immense expanse
of twenty acres, and the massive and
magnificent granite Art Gallery, to the
smallest chalet of light wood and gay
colors. The lakes and fountains are be
ing prepaied, the walks and roads ma
cadamized, the little rapid transit steam
railway which will convey visitors from
point to point is being laid, shrubbery
and trees are being set and lawns ter
raced and sodded. Hundreds of work
men of all sorts—carpenters, painters,
decorators, builders, masons, laborers,
plumbers and gardeners are moving about
or plying the tools of their trades, and on
all sides the greatest activity is observa
ble.
A Rising Man in Tennessee.—There
is living in Perry county, Tenn., James
Horner, ihe Tennessee giant. At eighteen
years he was a well-grown man, six feet
high, and weighed one hundred and
eighty pounds. At twenty one he was
six inches taller, and weighed two
hundred and ten pounds. Any growth
after that was not noticed until he was
twenty-four years old, and then only by
the smallness of his olothes, and he then
measured in his stockings six feet nine
inches. Since then—he is now thirty-
one years of age—he has attained the
height of seven feet nine inches, and is
till growing, this being au increase of
about two inches annually. Some years
he grows more aud some less, but this is
his average. While he ought to weigh
at least three hundred pounds, he weighs
only two hundred aud thirty-three. He
is excessively lank and gawky, and
possesses only one quality in a large de
gree, and that is his ability to walk. He
thinks nothing of walking from home to
Linden, the county seat, twelve miles
distant, and back to dinner.—Somerville
Falcon.
Brains in Time of Peril.—The Grand
Theatre at Vienna was crowded. The
Emperor Francis, with several members
of his family, was in the imperial box.
The play, Schiller’s “Robbers,” had
reached the third act, when a cry arose
that the stage was on fire. Emilie Dev-
rient signalled at once to the proprietor,
who lowered the curtain. The actor
stepping in front of it ere it wholly fell,
in his clear, clarion voice, said: “The
Emperor has been despoiled of an aigiette
of diamonds. No honest person will
object to being searched. 1’ou will pass
out onq by one at each entrance, and be
searched by the police at the several
doors. Any man attempting to go out of
order will be arrested.” The crowd,
deceived by the coolness and the charge,
poured out. As each reached the door
he was simply told to hurry on, aud just
as the last rows of the upper gallery were
filing out the flames burst through the
curtain. But not a life was lost, though
in less than an hour afterward the build
ing was in ruins.—Graphic.
New York Capitalists Becoming
Alarmed.
A meeting of the New York Board of
' Trade was held last week to consider the
i currency question. Such men as Peter
! Cooper, E. B. Sanford, of the Adams’
Express Company, S. Tousey, B. K. Bliss,
W. Orton, G. Ri Satterlee, P. Farrelly.
of the American News Company, and
others, participated in tho discussion.
The memorial prepared by Messrs. George
Opdyke and P. Farrelly to Congress, and
a currency report was adopted.
The memorial declares convertible
paper is equal to coin when issued only
to the amount necessarily required for
trade, and that inconvertible paper is in
jurious, inasmuch as it is issued at the
caprice of the government. The present
inconvertible paper volume is found to
De only a little in advance, per capita,
of the rate that existed before the war,
through which the currency was greatly
inflated.
A return to specie payments, though
much to be desired, would be disadvant
ageous unless the government had at
least $150,000,000 in gold in its vaults,
and as this is not there by at least two-
thirds, resumption iu 1879 would be im
practicable, as the drain of gold from
this country is much greater than the im
port.
The report demands that the Treasury
Department add $10,000,000 annually to
the gold reserve, and that the national
banks be compelled to return all gold re
ceived by way of interest; that the act
providing for resumption on January 1,
1879, be repealed; that greenbacks to the
extent of eighty per cent, be issued in the
place of national bank notes withdrawn
from circulation, and that $50,000,000
worth of United States bonds bearing
3 65 per cent, interest be authorized to
be convertible at will into legal tender
notes.
They claim the adoption of the above
plan will restore confidence and remove
fear of future financial trouble, give elas
ticity to currency, and finally lead to
resumption at a time when it will be
beneficial to the commercial interests.
Messrs. Opdyke, Orton, Tousey, Sat
terlee and Clarke were elected as a dele
gation to present the memorial to Con
gress.
The lumber dfalers of Pennsylvania
are somewhat of tbe same opinion. They
have numerously signed a memorial to
Congress, from which we quote as fol
lows :
That we demand that the currency of
the country shall be based upon tbe na
tional credit: and that its volume shall
be regulated by the law of supply aud
demand.
That whilst we recognize gold as a val
uable part of the currency, and that it is
desirable that gold shall be at par with
currency, we believe that resumption
cannot be forced by merely legislative
direction, aud that the law which pro-
I>oses to compel resumption in 1879 is
impracticable. That it has so unsettled
all prospective values and so alarmed
capital and deterred investments in pro
ductive industries, as greatly to aggra
vate the financial distress, and that it
should be repealed without delay or con
dition.
That in view of tbe fact that the six
per cent, currency bonds of the United
States, payable, principal and interest, in
currency, and into which no gold basis
enters, are higher in the market than the
six per cent, gold bonds, and are at a
premium of twenty-five per cent., whilst
gold is at a premium of only thirteen per
cent., or, in other words, that the cur
rency bonds are at a premium of twelve
per cent, above gold gives conclusive rea
son to believe that currency convertible
at will into bonds bearing interest at a
rate not exceeding 3.65 per cent, in cur
rency would rise instantly to the par of
gold.
That we believe that sound financial
policy requires that the value of the bond
shall be brought down by a reduction of
interest, and that the value of the cur
rency shall be brought up by making it
convertible into bonds, and that inter
convertibility of currency and bonds, at
the will of the holder, would speedily
establish gold and currency at equivalent
values, and lead to prompt resumption of
specie payment and the immediate revi
val of business.
That we are opposed to either contrac
tion or expansion of the currency by any
arbitrary limitations of its volume.
That money is only an instrument of
commerce, and we are opposed to any
and all attempts to make the business of
those who use money in productive
industries subservient to the interest of
those who lend it.
That a currency convertible into bonds
cannot fall below the value of such bonds:
that such a currency cannot l ecome de
preciated, and a currency not depreciated
cannot become inflated.
That we demand that the currency
which the government compels the peo
ple to take, i* shall itself receive. But
where the public faith is pledged to tbe
payment in gold of bonds already issued,
such pledge must be preserved inviolate.

The grandson of the late Duke of
Brunswick, whose diamonds and eccen
tric demeanor were for so many years the
talk of the town in Paris, London, and
Brussels, has just been found guilty of
obtaining money under false pretences,
and unlawfully wearing the uniform of a
French officer. He is the son of the Yi-
comtesse de Civry, who, upon the ground
that her mother was duly married to the
Duke of Brunswick, and that she is,
therefore, his legal heiress, has instituted
proceedings against the corporation of
Geneva for the sum left by the Duke of
Brunswick to that city. The young Vis
count, her son, appears to have antici
pated a favorable decision of his mother's
suit by profuse expenditure in Paris, but
the offense especially imputed to him was
having taken part in the review of the
French troops by Marshal McMahon last
June. In order that he might figure to
advantage on that occasion, he purchased
a horse on credit, donned the uniform of
an officer of the French Chasseurs, and
joined the Marshal’s staff. When the
vender of the horse applied to him for
payment, he wrote him a violent letter,
and challenged him to mortal combat.
The creditor, hoping, perhaps, to get
something on account, accepted the chal
lenge, but when he repaired to the place
of meeting his debtor and adversary were
nowhere to be found. He was, however,
afterward observed by the police, and
sentenced to two months’ imprisonment.

One of the most extravagant things
that Jupiter ever did was to chain Vul
can's mother on Mount Olympus to cure
her of her loquaciousness. The outrage
created such indignation among the sex
that the succeeding generations of women
were all patterned after Vulcan’s mother,
and bv constant study and practice most
of them have.succeeded in surpassing the
pattern. —Brooklyn Argue.
A knotty question of Jaw as to tbe
ownership of a ring is to come up in the
West Virginia courts. A gentleman of
Washington was engaged to be married
to a MorgantowD. W. Va., belle, and the
engagement was suddenly broken off.
The young lady put the engagement ring
in a letter and directed it to the Wash
ington gentleman. Shortly after she saw
the same ring on the dainty middle finger
of another Morgan town belle. She was
not jealous, probably, but thought it a
very strange incident. Woman-like, she
made efforts to find out how that particu
lar ring got on that particular $nger in
Morgantown. It was finally brought to
light that a post office clerk had ab
stracted the ring from the letter and
given it to a friend who placed it on the
finger of his lady-love as a token of affec
tion and promise. That is how the ring
came to be doing double duty in Morgan
town. The post office clerk was arrested
for the theft of the ring. The question
at law will be to whom dthe ring
rightfully belong at the time it was ab
stracted from the letter ? The courts
will answer.
Cincinnati Times: The Inter-Gcean tells
us that dogs without tails have been dis
covered in \ustralia. Poor creatures.
There’s no wit about them, for there’b
no wag They can’t point a moral nor
adorn a tail. They might be as good as

an untimely end.
A young American lady who has en
