Barney Biglin and Mike Cregin, two
of the Radical machine bosses in New
York, declare that Folger will accept
the Gubernatorial nomination and be
elected. That does settle it.
In his speech in Philadelphia to the
convention that renominated him, ex-
Speaker Randall said : “No one who
understands the existing tariff laws will
deny the justice and necessity of re
vision.”
Hubbell still has faith in his corrup
tion fund. He is reported to be not at
all downcast at his defeat for a nomina
tion to the lower House, and speaks con
fidently of his ability to succeed Senator
Ferry as United States Senator from
Michigan.
. Boss Filley, of Missouri, is out of sorts
with the Republican party of his State
for putting a State ticket in the field.
He declares that the only result of their
action will be to give a district to the
Democracy which otherwise the Repub
licans might nave carried.
Gen. McDowell reports to the War
Department, from the Presidio, San
Francisco, that Indian matters seem to
be quiet on the Arizona frontier, and
that the only trouble expected is from a
possible return of the Chiracahuas, now
in ilexico, for which ample preparation
has been made.
Yesterday a grand complimentary
benefit was tendered Mr. John T. Ford
in Baltimore by members of the theatri
cal profession who began their career
under his auspices. The 2d instant was
se’ected for this iieneflt because it was
the thirtieth anniversary of Mr. Ford’s
conueetioa with amustmen's in the
Monumental City.
They say that Hubbell’s blackmailing
scheme has signally failed, and that his
whole fund will not exceed $150,000
He expected to have secured at lerst
$1,Out),000. Since he was defeated for
renomination his receipts have pretty
much ceased altogether. If this be true
Dorsey, the star router, will not be able
to purchase Indiana this year.
J. Hubbell is indignant at the outcry
against him, and declares it is ridiculous.
“Why, bieB3 my soul,’’ said he, “two
years ago, during the Garfield canvass, I
did things a long sight more brash than
lam doing now.” That’s just it, Mr.
Corruption Fund Gatherer. You excited
a popular iudignatiou by your “brash”
doings then which is now making itself
felt.
The Secretary of the Treasury tester
day issued anew set of regulations for
the government of employes iu that
department. The hours of duty will be
from 9 a. m. to 3:30 p. m., and the regu
lations prohibiting newspaper reading,
smoking and gossiping during those
hours will be particularly strict; other
wise they are nearly the same as the
regulations established in 1872 by Secre
tary B outwell.
There are rumors that the dissatisfac.
tion over the nomination of Folger in
New York will culminate in the nomi
nation of an Independent Republican
ticket. The Detroit Free Press, how
ever, thinks that it is not probable that
this will be the result, but that there
will, however, be slashing of tickets to
an extent which will dwarf the achieve
ments of the young Republicans three
years age.
Brady and Dorsey became thor
oughly disgusted with Arabi Pasha
when they learned that he stole
only $1,000,000 from the Egyptian
treasury. So impatient are they of
his conduct that they will hear no excuse
for it. It has been urged in Arabi’s
justification that he lacked opportunity.
But don’t talk to them that way, they
say. If they had have been in his place
they would have made an opportunity.
The views of the tariff meu
are too much even for the Philadelphia
Press, which says: “Peanuts and chalk,
the product of the soil and the soil itself,
and articles which would seem to be
able to get along, if anything could,
without protection, are presented by
those interested in them as proper sub
jects for a protective duty. There is a
widespread conviction, even among pro
tectionists, that it would be for the best
interests of the country to admit iron
ore free.”
Mr. Stewart L. Woodford, U. 8. Dis
trict. Attorney for the Southern District
°r r York, is very indier on -t at the
actioiT ui the republican Conventional
Saratoga. He boasts that he denounced
the tissue ballot frauds of South Caro
lina, and though a Republican of the
stalwart type, he cannot pass over in si
lence the forgery and fraud connected
with Folger’s nomination. He thinks
Folger’s withdrawal from the canvass
the only remedy for the evil, and says :
.j talk as a Republican who believes
that my party is the best instrument
through which to secure a pure and free
ballot everywhere. But if fraudulent
methods triumph in New York this year,
this will not be the last of it Republi
cans will be poweiless to defend the
right anywhere.”
A Washington special states that the
Republican Congressional Committee
has suddenly awakened to the danger to
their party in Ohio, and an order has
just been issued to put the full force of
clerks at work shoveling documents to
the directors of the canvass m that State.
Professions of hope are now put out by
the managers that all but seven districts
jtay be saved, which confesses a pro
spective Democratic gain of two districts.
Democratic estimates of gains vary from
three to five districts. The attention of
the committee will probably soon be
directed to New York. There is little
talk, however, of anything looking to
definite plans concerning New York.
The Republican position just now is
complicated beyond the power of mana
muity to remedy.
The Close of the Campaign.
With to day the legislative campaign in
this county will be virtually closed, and
to morrow the voters will meet at the polls
to decide who is the greater, the Demo
cratic party or the bolters. It is doubt
ful whether public interest has ever been
more thoroughlv manifested in any elec
tion ever held in the county as in this.
The bolters had been accustomed to have
their will so long that they finally openly
announced that they intended to have
nominated at the primary meeting on the
18th uIL a ticket which was not approved
by either the Democracy or the people.
The bolter leaders, however, cared
nothing for this. Their personal wishes
and ends were, in their opinion, supe
rior to those of the public, and although
the people, so emphatically that the
most unintelligent could not mistake
their will, declared their determination
not to submit to the dictation of the
bosses, the latter arrogantly defied them
and the party, and boldly asserted their
ability to defeat both.
The bolters will to morrow find out that
they were mistaken. Indeed, we doubt
not that even now their leaders realize
that they have been guilty of a grievous
error, which pride alone prevents
them from acknowledging. When
the will of the majority
was so overwhelmingly manifested
against them at the Theatre, had they,
as good citizens and good Democrats,
acquiesced in the decision then rendered,
it would have been the wisest as well as
the shrewdest act of their lives. They
would have raised themselves im
measurably in the estimation of the
party, and their position therein would
have been better and stronger than they
have ever heretofore held. But they lost
their self control and their judgment,
and now they will most probably so ef.
fectually lose their prestige and their
influence that they can never reg tin them.
Even should they, by any possible mis.
chance, succeed in defeating the party and
the people of Chatham to-morrow, the
community will see to it that no such
catastrophe ever again occurs. Hereafter
no man will neglect the important duty
of registering, and the resolve
that henceforth the people, and they
a'one, sfuiU be the bosses, will be inflexi
bly taken and rigidly maintained. Hence
the presumptuous attitude which the
leaders of the bolters have assumed must
lead to their ultimate defeat, and they
will be but another exemplification of the
truth of the maxim, “whom the gods
wish to destroy they first make mad.”
For their certain defeat and loss of
prestige and influence, the bolter leaders
have only themselves to blame. The
Democratic party has in the past recog
nized their services as agents of and
workers for the party, and has willingly
remunerated them for such services. Had
they seen fit to remain within the ranks
and rendered due allegiance to the or
ganization, they would have continued
to have merited and received all proper
c msideration. But when they set them
selves up as masters and bosses of the
party, then they went a little too far,
and to-morrow they will, we doubt not,
learn the lesson that under the free le
publican system of government which
we in this country enjoy, no man nor
set of men can deliberately antagonize
public sentiment and declare himself or
themselves greater than the people with
impunity.
But one day jet remains for the bolter
leaders to retrace their steps and confess
their errors. Even at the last moment, if
they would withdraw their opposition ana
yield cheerful and loj'al acquiescence to
the will of the Democracy and the pco.
pie, it might not be too late for them to
resume their former status, and be recog
n zed once more as Democrats. If,
however, they persist in maintaining their
hostile attitude to the last, and seek to
accomplish the defeat of the party, they
will find that they have undertaken too
heavy a task, and that, sooner or later,
they will feel the weight of popular
dspleasure.
Important to Voters.
We learn that an impression prevails
to a considerable extent that no one will
he entitled to vote to-morrow unless’ he
presents his tax receipt at the polls, and
that any person holding a tax receipt of
any one else will be able to control the
vote of the one to whom that receipt
belongs. This is all a mistake. The
managers of the election have nothing
whatever to do with tax receipts. If a
man’s name is on the registry list it is
prima facie evidence that he has paid
his taxes and complied with all
other requirements of law. Parties
then, who have registered, and
can satisfy the managers that they are
the proper persons whose names appear
on the list, have a right to vote as they
please, without regard to their tax re
ceipts. It will be well for the voters to
bear this in mind.
It is, however, indispensable that the
election managers keep strict watch over
these lists, to see that there is no repeat
ing, and that they are not otherwise im
posed on. We learn that since the reg
istry closed several parties whose names
are on the books have died. It
will be well for the challengers
at each box to have complete
and correct copies of the list on
hand and carefully note every case of
this kind, so as to prevent any one from
voting under the assumed name of the
deceased. In short, every precaution
should be taken to secure a just and
honest election. A full ballot and a fair
count is all the Democracy ask.
The New Orleans Times Democrat
reports extraordinary tightness in the
money market of that city, and com
plains that it is an evil which every year
recurs about this time, and that it should
be remedied. The causes it ascribes for
this condition of affairs are : First, the
crops being splendid this year, more
money is required to move them than
usual. Second, the prices of all articles
of food are higher, and the advances to
planters must consequently be larger.
Third, New Orleans has extended and
increased its business without increasing
its capital ; and last but not least, the
cotton future business, which is now
in that city, has absorbed and tied up an
an immense amount of available capital
in margins, this trade needing nearly as
much money as the movement of the
great Southern staple itself.
The Georgia Historical Society at its
meeting last evening took the initiative
in the'proposed celebration of the Sesqui-
Centenmal of the settlement of Savannah
on the 12th of February next. Resolu
tions were adopted favoring a special
programme of the society on that occa
sion, and requesting the city authorities
to co operate with that organization in
suitably celebrating the day. This is a
move in the right direction, and it is to
be hoped the city will heartily acquiesce
in the action of the Historical Society.

Provision Against Currency Con
traction.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, has recently
published in the Chicago Tribune a
scheme of his own which he thinks will
successfully meet the danger of a sudden
contraction of the national bank circu
lation, to which he thinks the country is
somewhat liable because of the present
high price of government bonds. It is
believed probable that this scheme will
receive the sanction of the Comptroller
of the Currency, and will be submitted
to the next Congress, and this fact invests
it with unusual interest. An outline of
Senator Jones’ ideas, as given in the
columns of our Western contemporary,
is as follows: He proposes that the irre
deemable 4 per cents., amounting to
$739,000,000, should be replaced by
bonds bearing a lower rate of in
terest, and that this rate should be
tixed at about the figure at which the
market value of the bonds would be
par. The banks which desire to obtain
the privilege of issuing national bank
notes would then be able to find in the
market a supply of available bonds at
par. Many banks now refuse to take
out circulation because they do not wish
to pay the high price commanded by the
4s. and They would not meet this
obstacle m the case of the new bonds
proposed by Senator Jones. At present,
bank circulation is practically stationary;
there ate indications that a time is com
ing when it may rapidly decline before a
currency to take its place has been pro
vided. Bitter experience has shown this
country the disasters that come with vio
lent changes in the currency system, and
Senator Jones thinks it is not at all too
soon for the consideration of this ques
tion. It is one which is certain to force
itself upon the attention of Congress, and
the shape in which it will come will be
more disagreeable the longer it is post
poned.
The Chicago Tribune, however, thinks
that there are some features in this plan
that would make its execution embar
rassing. It says: “Senator Jones pro
poses to pay a bonus or premium to the
holders of the 4 per cents, to induce
them to take the new 24 or 2$ or 3
per cents. The lower the rate of the
new bond the greater the bonus. He
makes light of the popular dissatisfac
tion with which this proposal to pay the
holders of governments a big bonus
would be received. But it would be
serious. Such performances as the latest
order of Secretary Folger offering to pay
now interest not due till December 23 to
those holders of called bonds who will be
kind enough to take their pay in advance
have made the public suspicious of the re
lations of the Treasurer to Wall street and
the Eastern bondholders. Vanderbilt owns
about $50,000,000 of 4 per cents. The
country would not look with patience on
payment to him of a bonus of sev.
eral millions to surrender them for an
other kind of bond. Another difficulty
would be that the holders of the bonds,
seeing the advantage of their position,
would refuse to make the exchange on
terms it would be profitable for the gov
ernment to accept. The speculators
would get possession of barge llocks of
the bonds and attempt to dictate terms
to the government. ”
But, as our contemporary well rea
sons, the difficulties suggested by this
plan only makes more urgent the need
that some successful solution be reached.
Our national bank circulation is more
than one-third our total circulation, and
it must be kept in such condition that it
wiil expand as the necessities of business
and the growth of the country demand,
or some new currency must be found to
take its place. The time allowed for this
pressing debate is rapidly passing away.
Bradstrcct's reports of the state of the
trade throughout the United States show
a genera] activity in the distribution of
merchandise during the past two months.
The great cereal crops in the South and
the fairly certain large cotton crop in
sure a continuance of active trade in this
section of the country, while the large
crops of the West have already done
much for the West and Northwest. The
failures in the United States during the
first three quarters of the year, with the
liabilities and assets involved, were as
follows: First quarter—Failures, 2,146;
liabilities, $29,010,944; assets, $15,323,-
591. Second quarter—Failures, 1,503;
liabilities, $23,372,345; assets, $12,006,-
174. Third quarter—Failures, 1,658;
liabilities, $18,779,460; assets, $9,122,-
250. The recent large failures in
the Eastern cities are attributed simply
to the effects of specific mismanagement.
The liabilities for the last quarter are
considerably less than for the previous
three months. This is due to the fact
that in the South and West there have
been few failures of importance. Most
of the heavy failures have been in the
Middle and Eastern States. Five failures
in New York reach the sum of $5,260,000
in liabilities, or about 4 per cent, of' the
liabilities for the Middle States and about
20 per cent, of the liabilities of the entire
country. The failures, liabilities and
assets in New York were as follows:
First quarter—Failures, 100: liabilities,
$3,014,664: assets, $1,428,936. Second
quatter—Failures, $64; liabilities, sl,-
318,689; assets, $585,227. Third quar
ter—Failures, 89; liabilities, $4,559,032;
assets, $1,948,316.
Mr. Archibald Beale has announced
himself as a straightout Republican
candidate for Congress in the Seventh
District of Virginia, and says that he is
opposed to Mahoneism, Readjusterism,
Funderism, and the modern Democratic
party. He also says that he was born a
slave, and therefore never can consent to
become the dupe, which is worse than a
slave, to that petty tyrant. Boas Mahone,
He adds: “Being a gentleman of limit
ed means, and not being likely to receive
any support from the coffers at Wash
ington, I shall not be able to canvass the
district in person, so my friends must be
content as to a simple announcement of
the party which I adhere to. ”
Society in Columbus, Ohio, is greatly
excited over the fact that a daughter-in
law of ei-Governor Denison, of that
State, has left her home and adopted the
stage as a profession. Her reason for
this step is that she wanted to make an
independent living, and she believed
that she had talent for the stage. She is
spoken of as an exceedingly handsome
woman, and it is believed she will at
tract more than ordinary attention. Her
friends, however, will attempt to induce
her to reconsider her determination.
The Republicans in Ohio concede the
election of three additional Democratic
Congressmen in that State. Indiana is also
confidently claimed by the Democracy,
while in Virginia, General Hunton, who
was a member of the Forty sixth Con
gress, says that Mahone will receive a
good drubbing. All around the political
skies look quite bright for the Democracy.

The great Bernays murder case is soon to
be tried at Brabant. Twenty writers are
occupied day and night copying the docu
ments. Two hundred and fifty witnesses
are to be examined, and the indic’msnt
fills a large volume, and will take several
days to read. Bernays was a lawyer of
Antwerp who mysteriously disappeared and
was afterwards found dead In a furnished
room of an empty house in Brussels, sitting
in an arm chair, with tt bullet hole through
his heart. The details of the trial, it is said,
will rival anything related by Edgar Poe.
The report that a picture of the “Judg

Pompeii proves a mistake. The painting in
question exhibited three men seated on a
platform as Judges, a child held by two
soldiers upon a tripod before them, a kneel
ing man evidently imploring the Judges,
soldiers in the rear, and a vast multitude of
people at the left. There are no woman
figures. The painting is, according to the
authority of some scholars, a satiric cartoon
on human sacrifices; and, as usual with the
caricaturists of that day (and of some of this
day), the personages are all pigmies little in
body and enoimous in head.
The famous Ohio farmer, John Eicblotz,
whose dwelling house was also a warehouse
and granary, in which his wheat has been

which never came. Much of It Is perfectly
useless, and the 6acks are decayed. He has
kept his family In privation. This season
he predicted a general failure of the wheat
crop and big prices. He refused to have
any grain planted on his farm, because he
would haul his stock of grain to the mar
ket, and did not want to be bothered with
his crops in the field. His family is not very
sad over his death, and now will live as
other people do.

In printing a report of the serious Illness
of Winnemucca, Chief of the Piutes, a Ne
vada paper says: “It is quite probable that
if his sickness ends in death his wife and
doctor will be made to atone for It with
their lives. It Is customary for the Piutes,
as well as mai v other tribes, to kill the
medicine man who attends a chief during
an illness which ends in death, and they
sometimes sacrifice the unfortunate wife of
a dead chief on his grave. An instance of
the latter kind took place here two years
Blnce, when an Innocent equaw was taken
with the corpse of her husband to the Har
mony Mountains, some eight or ten miles
above town, and sacrificed on his grave, the
charge against her being witchcraft.”
An interesting Incident, says the New

black beard entered and approached the
tape, which be could barely reach. A big,
burly, good natured fellow In the crowd
took him by the sleeve, and patronizingly
saying, “You are a little fellow, and we’ll
let you in,” shoved him into position. The
little man smiled and looked at him through

thanked his new found friend, and retired.

The London limes publishes a synopsis of
some papers on “Tremors of the Earth”
by the committee appointed to measure the
lunar disturbance of gravity. It is consid
ered proved by the committee that “ the
land actually sinks and rises under the
pressure of the mass of water thrown upon
it by the tides, the maximum of rise and
fall on the Atlantic seaboard reaching fiye
Inches. This effect is felt at the bottom of
the deepest mine, and may reach for an un
known distance. It follows that the crust
of the earth must be of exceeding tenacity,
exceeding as a minimum that of granite,
and its swayings may be the cause of phe
nomena hitherto quite unexplained, as, for
example, the relation between storm and
earthquake.” In fact, the earth pants like
a living being under the changes always
going on above her.

Department of State March 20, 1841.
To the Hon. Thomas Ewing, Secretary qf the
Treasury:
Sir—The President is of opinion that
It is a great abuse to bring the patronage
of the Genera! Government into conflict
with the freedom of elections, and that this
abuse ought to be corrected wherever it may
have been permitted to exist, and to be pre
vented for the future.
He therefore directs that Information
be given to all officers and ageum In
your department of the public
service that partisan Interference iu the
popular elect on-, whether of State officers
or of officers of the [Federal] Government,
and for whomsoever and against wbomso
ever it may be exercised, or the payment of
any contribution or assessment on salaries
or official compensation for party or election
purposes, will be regarded by him as cause
for removal
It is not Intended that any officer shall
be restrained tn the free and proper expres
sion and maintenance of his opinions re
specting public men or public measures, or
in the exercise to the fullest degree of the
constitutional right of suffrage. But per
sons employed under the government and
paid for their services out of the public
treasury are not expected to take an active
or officious part in attempts to Influence
the minds or votes of others, such conduct
being deemed inconsistent with the spirit
of the Constitution and the duties of pub
lic agents acting under it; and the Presi
dent is resolved, so far as depends upon
upon him, that, while the exercise of the
elective franchise by the people shall be
free from undue influence of official station
and authority, opinion shall also be free
among the officers and agents of the gov
ernment.
Similar letters have been addressed to
other heads of departments.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient
servant, Daniel Webster.

de grace with TARRANT’S SELTZER APE

bowels, tones the stomach, and is a sure reme
dy for indigestion and all its concomitants.
