In point of fact, however, it is just as clear as that a people are in a favorable condition to resume specie pay ments, because they find themselves un able to respond in paper. It la true, we may show our good will to resume with less coit than we could when we had the paper to bock our engagements. We all recollect the case of the Bo; Io nian. who left all his relatives a million apiece, out of a bankrupt estate. It co t nothing, he said, and was generous. So when we resolve to resume specie pay ments with little or no specie in haud. and ko small n supply of pup«-r that we have refused to part with it to creditors, it is equally cheap and generous to t. about specie restunptioii.

It soems that tins “corpse” is on tlie r.unpu'f in Ohio and Oregon. It hai dually come to life in both those States, ter having been buried and its funeral preached by the trooly loyl party. lu Oregon, where Grant had over 3,502 ma jority last November, Nesmyth, Demo crat, for Congress has 2,500 majority, * gain in just eleven mouths of 6,000 votes. In Ohio, which gave Grant 35,367 major ity last November, the Democrats hav » carried the Legislature - which secure i the re-olection of Hon. A. G. Thurman, ns United States Senator—and the latest report is tliat Allen (Doin.J is elected Governor over Noyes, Radical, and pres- nt incumbent, who defeated McCook f Do in.) two years ago by 27,036 vote . If those on* not two very rospectoblM kicks for a “corpse” we are no judges of that style of performance. There is one very significant feature, too, of the Ohio kick: Allen ran os a Democrat pure and simple, on a Demo cratic platform, and tho convention tliat nominated him rejected all “entangling alliances.” Tnoy took warning by the lesson taught in the President iol election, and made a square, stand-up fight on eir own ground, with their own weapom\ and untler a banner that bore no strange ilevices. It was a fight of Democracy against Radicalism—the party of th s Constitution against the enenfles thereof —of honest men who neither desired to cheat nor be cheated, against the reckles; plunderers who have well nigh ruined the country. Viewed in this light their victory has unusual significance. Another fact in connection with thii contest may be ment .onod. Mr. Allen ii the uncle of Senator Thurman, and made the race with a two-fold incentive: To defeat Radicalism and secure a triumph for a man, not only to whom he is !«ound by tie* of blood and strong affection, but who is also one of the truest and oldest, men that ever sat in the United States Senate. Stand up to Contracts! This is the true policy of men and communities at all times and under :Ul circumstance*. Cramps and stringencies are powerless to indict permanent injury on any intelligent and industrious peo ple. so long as they maintain their usual moral manhood. But if this be compro mised or lost under the suggestions of alleged necessity, the loss becomes almost irretrievable, for nothing is so valuable in any point of view as personal integrity. No man or community is poor so long os they can be trusted, and none can be called rich who ore known to bo faithless :u:d dishonest. Therefore, let the first purpose of every man be to discharge his obligations to the letter, if possible,* and if he cannot do that, to come as near it as he can. Tight times are sent to tent men—to show them selves and to show others what they are mode of. and give them the chance to win an honorable and valuable character, by standing upon their integrity amid temptation to swerve from it. We sa£ therefore, to all. when sugges tions are off red to you, (we care not from what source) to evade this, that or the other obligation - when you are told that the peculiar circumstances justify this or that piece of crooked diplomacy—that it is no worse in yon to suspenj than it was in the Kink etc., etc., *h: n these sug gestions of sstau and stand on your man hood. We hold the example of the banks in this so-called panic as most scandnlons pernicious and demoralizing ; but no two wrongs ever inode a right, and there must be some end of shuffling, or there will be no beginning of public or private confi dence ami honor. One of the absurdest things in the world is to bear the New York bankers talk about “restoring public confidence.” and saving the country by refusing to surrender the money of their depo*.turs ! that city, and who lives near Marianna, Fla., was burned a lew days ago.

The Savannah Advertiser-Republican, of Wedue*<lAy, has the following: Fkiohitul Bjilrr Explosion—One Man Blown to Pieces—Two Others Seriously Injured.-One of the xuo.-t terrific and frightful accidents that has iiappened in this part of the country for a long time occurred late List Monday evening on the J.. P. and M. railroad. The boiler of tlie locomotive Stonewall, while standing at Ellaville. exploded, in stantly killing the engineer. Mr. diaries Wiley, an Englishman, and it is thought dangerously wounding the fireman and a wood passer. So great was tho explosion that t le body of the engineer was thrown fully fifteen feet from the engine and the head of tiie unfortunate man was com pletely blown off and thrown about the same distance from the body. The Stonewall, we are informed, was quite on old engine, and was used in propelling the lumber trains of Messrs. Drew A. Buckie, extensive lumber men of that locality. The tracks in the vicinity of the exploded engine was terribly torn up. so much bc as to prevent tlie connection of the passenger train on the J„ P. and M. railroad with that on the Atlantic and Gulf at Live Oak. Th* Atlanta Constitution missed con nection yesterday morning, and so didn't “go down the Southwestern road with the Macon paper.” Tne “other paper” mi«se 1 the day before. The Teleurath and Messenger is the only paper that goes down that road every morning with oil tlie telegraphic news of the night before. The Great Southern Railroad Com pany.—Under this head the Savannah News of Wednesday says: The agent of the Georgia branch of the Great Southern Railroad Company re cently passed through llinesville. Liberty county, and had the usual mortgages re corded in the counties through which th«» proposed road will run. The Hinesvill-* Gazette gathers the following interesting information in reference to the enterprise: “The company is couijx>sed entirely of Northern men. Ohm.Oslorne.of New York being the President. To obtain the nec cswary funds, money to th amount of four millions has been borrowed, for the security of which mortgages have been given ou the entire road, with all its stock, etc. Tho road is to start from Milieu. No. 79. Central rail read, and run in an air line to Jesup. and from thence to Jack sonville. Florida. It wdl pass through th* following counties in Georgia: Burke, Bullock. Tattnall. Liberty, Appling, Wayne, Charlton and Camden. The point at whirii it is to cross the Altamaha will be a start distance above Doetortown, but below the mouth of Beard’* creek. We have no earthly objection to “Northern men” building this and half a dozen other railroads in Georgia, with their own money, but the procpect of getting any State bond help for years to come is “mortal dim.” If there is any one thing deader than another in Geor gia, it is State aid to railroads. Low Water in the Savannah River.— The Chronicle and Sentinel says the water in the Savannah river is so low, that the boats are not now able to reach the city. “The Rosa was obliged last Friday to unload her cargo about one mile from the city, and start on h<5r re turn trip to Savannah from that point. The Katie unloaded her cargo, consisting of cotton, stores and other articles, on the Carolina side, about two miles below Sand Bar Ferry, Monday, about twelve o’clock. The cargoes of both boats were brought to Augusta on pole boats. The Clyde got aground yesterday on a bar abont eleven miles below the city, and at last accounts had not succeeded in getting off. The river be waded across at almost any point at this time, and unless we have a rain soon it sooms probable that the boat ing business will have to be temp irarily suspended.” South Georgia Fair at Thoin- asville. We received the following dispatch from Thomasville yesterday, and bid our friends there God speed in their enter prise: Thomasville, Ga., October 16,1S73. To Macon Telegraph and Messenger : At a large and enthusiastic meeting of the stockholders of the South Georgia Agricultural an 1 Mechanical A-social on. it was determined to hold the Fourth Annual Fair of the association, com mencing Tuesday, the 4th of November next. Ample arran^*meutB will be made- for the accommodation of visitors and the exhibition of machinery, and for the taking care of stock that trill be upon exhibition. A grand tournament will Like place ou Fr* lay, the 7th of Novem ber, and divers other amusements will be had on the grounds- A. P. Wright, President- its justice and necessity. It is, iii my opinion, much to be re gretted that only one of the Sisters of Mercy was retained .is a teacher at the small sum of fifty dollars per montlu This is given to the lowest grade, and little if any above what is paid to colored teachers. They generously gave their rooms last year to the $ourJ. This val uable community have thirteen orphan* whom they support by the labor of their brains by teacning, and they al-o visit the sick and destitute—ttair services even unto death in time of epidemic such as cholera, yellow fever and *w;ill-por nro well known. S ireveport, Nashville and Memphis will attc*t tae fact. I would most respectfully suggest and recom mend that at least another sister should be employed with a suitable salary such as is given to other teachers employed by the Board. The reason for such a recommendation'are many—suffice it to mention that Catholic parents will not send their children to any other schools xcept such as are taught by Cath olic teachers, and, in ny opinion, PARENTAL CARE SHOULD NOT BE INTER FERED WITH. Moreover, most of them ore tar-payers and- some of them the heaviest tux-payer* in the city. Why should we show our-* selves more prejudiced than the Board of Savannah where tho Catholic schools are under their supervision and the teacher are paid by the Board ? The schools taught by tho Sisters at "resent, contain thirty-five children under Sister A igela who is paid by the Board, and they have twenty-six girls and thirty- seven boys, beside*, coming to them who do not pay them anything and mostly from the 2d and 3d wards. Knowing well the noble minds and generous heart* that compose our Board. I trust they will assist them in their work of beuevolcncc and charity, and appoint one or two more of the Sisters as teach ers, under their direction, and that a speedy arrangement may also be made for the education of the large number of other children in the second and third wards of tho city. All of which is re spectfully submitted. Thomas C. Dempsey. Macon, October 15lh, 1873. Mexican War Veterans. Madison, Ga., October 14, 1873. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Will you do the survivors of the Mexican vrar the favor of requesting them to meet in Macon during the Fair week, say on Thursday, October 30, for the purpose of forming on association of all the veterans •of the Mexican war now residing in Georgia; and preparatory for organ izing a national organization in Washington City, on 15th of January next. All the survivors of the Mex ican war, by land or sea, regulars or vol unteers, are requested to meet, in person or by letter, addressed to the “Chairman of the Veterans of Mexican War,” giving their present residence and in what ser vice they serves! at the close of or during tlie Mexican war. The hour and plao* of meeting will be designated in the Ma con papers daring the Fair. Other States have held, or will hold their re-unions and form associations of the veterans residing in their localities. We hope to do the same at Macon during the Fair. The object of the national convention is to prepare a joint memorial to Congress for a pension to the »urviv*rs of the Mex ican war. Also to adopt measures look ing to a national brotherhood of the sur vivor?. It is very desirable to ascertain how many are now living, and it is most earn estly desired that all who were in the Mexican service, will report their present* residence aud also the service in which th«3r were engaged. After the meeting on the 30th, the secretary will be known, and until then they can address the Chair man of Mexican War Veterans, Macon. Georgia. As I do not know where to find the veterans, will you please editorially re quest the presence of them on the 30th ? By so doing you will greatly oblige the Mexican war veterans and your most obedient servant, David S. Johnston, Late 1st Lt. Co. Comdg. F., N. C.

So far the trouble resulting from the finanaal disturb race up;tears to fall more heavily upon this branch of industry than any other. T ie-N«j * York Bulletin estimates that not less tnn sixty tfcOflJttkl okill*d mechanic i an-1 laborers will be thrown out of situation* before winter fairly »et* in. making w.th the.r dependents not less than three nundre 1 thousand people who will enter upon thi* inclement season without the employment they relied upon to furnish to t hem tlie means of subsistence. It is not past hope that a reaction will take place yet, so a* to restore work and bread to the indus trious laborers, but it is beyond question that great hardship will result from the financial disturbance, whatever may l*e the exthnt of the reaction. The great wealth of the harvest will probably mate rially lessen the distress, but it is evident that the day of extremity will be only post poned, unless the people seethe cause that makes the rich richer and the poor more wretched, aud destroy not only the infa mous high tariffjaws, but the banking laws which enable a few gamblers in their desperation to paralyse the banking in stitutions of tlie whole country, and witli them the trade and commerce of a great people. The people who suffer mo<t by just such a crisis as we are passing through now, hold the remedy witliin their power, if they will only exercise it by voting for and electing the right sort of men to Congress, tat us get men into Congress who cannot be bought by tho Monopolists, and we will then stand chance of getting our wrongs righted, aiqj our people would then become prosperous and happy. The lesson which this crisis L-aches the people of the whcle country should not be lost, an 1 it will not be if the honest men combine to make it effective.

He was mean, stiff and proper, and was going to Heaven as a mummy,” and Mr. Beecher made himself as much like a mummy and walked as stiff as a ramrod across the stage on his road to Heaven, in the style of the prodi gal’s brother. The assembled three thoimnd roared. No matter who the other man is, H. W. B. has the pleasantest lines of all.

No Such Thing as Toleration* Under tais head tue Chicago .Times makes the following remarks upon the iction of. the Evangelical Alliance in hailing the overtures made that body by the Old Catholics of Gcrnyuiy \ The action of the Evangelical Alliance welcoming the overtures of the Old Catholics of Germany is accepted by many as an evidence of increased tolera tion. It is, however, nothing of the sort. When the Evangelical Alliance shakes hands with the Old Catholic party, it does so with no love for the secodents, but l>ecause it is thought that the seces sion has the effect to injure the Catholic Church itself. There is no such thing a- toleration between Protestantism and Catholicism. Their mutual hatred haw intensity and an endurance that leaves without a rival. Hyacinthe was feted and caressed, not because those who fawned on him had the smallest tolera tion of his Catholicism, but because they suppose they recognize in him an instrument that woidd inflict an injur} upon their mortal foe—the Catholic hier archy. There is no union possible between these two great antagonistic faiths. They are utterly unlike in organization. It is not desirable that there snould be a union. Give either the supreme power, and it would make the world too hot for any who should oppose it. Unite the two; let them be directed by a single purpose; and the world would be rele gated to a barbarism, dominated over by a pitiless, inflexible superstition. The interests of civilization require that theee two rivals should remain rivals. Now j countering a forcible opposition.
