The Honest Honey League
Presupposing, that the resump
tion ad is repealed, and that
there is an unlimited coinage of
silver dollars, we can easily dis
cuss the proceedings of the Hon
*•'l Money League w hich met last
Friday in t'hieago. We do not
especially admire their use of the
word ••honest."* as it seems to
intiiuale that all who do not agree
with them are in favor of discon
cst measures, but the nameofthc
assnciat ion has not Iting at all to do
with its principles, which are ex
pressed in its platform, the ini
port ant parts of which are as
follow >:
I. The industrial interests of
the country and consequently
tin* welfare and happiness of the
people requite stability in the
standard of value ami uniformity
in the circulating medium of ex
change.
2. The experience of all civilized
and commercial nations proves
that gold and silver possess -la
bilily of value in a greater degree
than other commodities, and are.
Iho ref ore, t lie best standard of
value, and in collection with pu
per representations convertible
into them on demand, tin* only
ami uniform'Circulating medium.
It is the duty of the government
to establish and maintain a sound
ami uniform currency system.
The establishment, ami mainten
ance of *i eh a system was one of
tin- ends contemplated by the
founders of our government in
framing tlu* tNmstitntioii. and
I<* secure the advantages of such
a system requires only a firm ad
herence to the principles and
spirit of the Oonstitntioii.
t. The Constitution con Icm
plates only t he use of t he precious
metals as a standard of value.
.Y The emergency that made it
necessary for the (iovernment to
force upon the people an irre
deemable paper currency having
passed away, to nww perpetuate
that system as a permanent tinan
rial policy would be a violation
of the spirit of the Constitution
and <>l the spirit of laws and
pledge* under w hich our war cur
renev was issued, and as the ex
perienec of the world has proved,
would neceessarilx lie followed
by still further depreciation, to
the great injury of all legitimate
business, and add to the stitiering
of the laboring classes, upon
w hum the evils of the depreciated
currency would inevitably fall
most heavily.
(i. National honor uml both na
tiuual and individual prosperity
demand a ivlui'ii to tin* standards
olvalue recognized in tin* <’nn-ti
t utiont. and, with our present na
pcr currency almost at par with
coin, to delay >uch return and
authorize new issues of irredeem
able paper would only add to
further depreciation, till, a- in all
pa-t experiment* of the kind, the
paper will become worthless,
leaving us without any reliable
circulating medium, entailing do
stuctionon industry, and misery
and poverty on the masses of the
people.
7. We have now an abundance
of uionc) to supply the wants of
trade. Our paper currency is rap
idly approaching the uniformity
and stahilitv of the coin standard.
If left free front further legisla
live chanties, it will soon, by force
of natural law. go into general

They themselves moth
gold and silver as a standard. It
mnv be® that the League, in tie
sixth resolution, -peaking of .lo v
laying a return to specie pay
meats, considers resumption in
IS7O jwissilde. but it <lo*‘- not say
so. and if it believes it. insomuch
we differ from it, but it i' very
apparent to us that with the date
of resumption act repealed, and
the unlimited coinage of silver
dollars of 412*. grains allowed,
the above platform of principles
represents the issues that will
win the financial battle.— I tlnn

Edgefield, S. C.. correspondence
of the Charleston News and Con
rier: <)n Monday last one of the
most extraordinary spectacle ever
witnessed in a court of justice
was presented to the Edgefield
public—six little children, and
two of them girls, tried for their
li\es upon a oliarge of murder!
Of “the prisoners at the bar."' the
youngest is nine years old, and
the eldest not ihirteen till next
August. Four of these unfortu
nate little creatures are the chil
dren of H. Pinckney Fallow. The
remaining two. Win. Kllis and
Mary Outlie, are orphans, and the
wards of Mr. Fallow. The “de
ceased" was a colored youth a
bout fourteen years of age. Ac
cording to evidence, he was a bad
bov, and under worse influences
than usual, lie had been warned
and commanded not to go into
the fields of Mr. Fallow. Hut on
llie day of the fatal rencounter
this hoy walked up boldly to
the place where the Fallow chil
dren were picking cotton and as
sorted that he could whip the
crowd. An extended light ensued,
the negro begining the affray by
knocking down Win. Kllis with a
stick. A rock afterward hurled
at the negro by little Kllis wito
inflicted a deadly wound. Such
is a brief outline of the evidence
detailed upon the stand.
The Russian government has
ollicinlly estimated it' loss of sol
dicry at over SO,OOO, but there
lias been, probably, quite as large
a loss of Russian subjects, other
than military, from maladies nr
isingouf of the war. At Alexan
drianopol, owing te the passage
through the town, since the war
began of 70,000 sick and wounded
and the neglect of the sanitary
authorities to take tin* requisite
precautions, there is so much dis
ease that all who can have left
the town; the death rate has
reached fifty-live in in one thou
sand. At Tifit’s all the doctors of
the Red Cross society are dead.
In the CaucHsusa plague is expec
ted. The Turkish prisoners from
Armenia art* all more or less in
fected with disease, and wherev
er they go epidemics follow in
their train. At Fenz small pox
and measles are so rife that pub
lie schools and institutions have
been closed by government order.
The official report gives an inva
lid to every house. Near St l’e
tersburg the black small pox, a
form of the l’ersiati plague, has
broken out among the prisoners
at Uatchinn. and is causing great
alarm in the capital. A month
ago 10.000 sick and wounded
were at Sistova awaiting remov
al, so many of whom were suf
fering from typhus that it was
proposed to have typhus specials
to carry those s altlicted.
The causes which have made
the colored people think of re
moving from the cotton belt to
the grain region are worth finding
out. They have been induced to
remove frem the uplands and the
oldest southern states towest Ten
nessee. to the Mississippi hot
toms and to river lands in Ar
kansas. because there more cot
ton could be raised and better
wages secured. But now they
seem to desire to go farther west,
and to go beyond the cotton belt.
Their emigration tendencies have
not been very strong, but recent
ly they have been excited by the
Liberian movement, and they are
in a mood, as a race, to change
in hope of bettering their condi
tion. This i' an evidence of im
provement in their mental eon
dition, and evinces a spirit of
enterprise. The Liberian move
ment will not be a success, but
we are inclined to the opinion
that the movement to the -late'
west of the Mississippi river will
be as formidable as thui of the
whites which sweep* annually a
crs* the Mississippi river at
Memphis.

Rocky Mountain 'pot
U'aom which one stream rises to
Bloyv into the I’aeifie ocean and
another lo lloyv into the Atlantic

ness lias been <liscovere<l. A
shaft has been-unk eighty feet,
and has yielded fT.tKtO. he-idea

discovered, one of which i> thir

poor man.
The south will never reach its
true level of prosperity until it
realizes the importance of com
peting with the west for skilled
labor and capital which now
flow in a steady stream from all
the larger centres of population
in the east. — Jltilfi.nmiu OV/.re/O.

Savannah lawyers, according
to the Afominy Ac?/'*, throw their
whole souls into their eases.
One of them remarked in tin
court house the other day:
“Cientlemen of the jury, at the
moment the policeman says he
saw in in front of the house which
was burglariously entered, I will
prove that we were locked up
drunk in the guard house."
A rattlesnake six feet seven

A few days since a party wl
hunters in the vicinity of Simp
sou's ferry discovered a man and
his wife dead in their home.
Their names were Simpson, and
they lived on what is known as
the Bond land. A little sou svas
the only occupant of the house,
and for two days he had kept his
lonely vigil by the corpses of his
parents. The little fellow was
half crazed with grief and terror.
The cause of their death was
pneumonia. -Tl/i/im, ’Venn. /<*<-

A young lady of (iallatin. well
known its one of the most charm
ing and fascinating of ltersex.has
been grievously treated by a
young man of great wealth who
promised to marry her, and failed
to come to time, and she has en
tered suit for damages, for non
compliance of contract. The tri
al w ill take place in the court
house on 28th inst. Lawyers of
great ability have been engaged
on both sides. The ladies of the
Presbyterian church and the com
munity are resolved to see that
she is properly treated. Adniis

The Virginia Legislature has
made material changes in the
criminal laws of the Sate. Stripes
are to lie inflicted for petty lar
cen.v and minor offences of like
character; not more than thirty
nine stripes may be inflicted up
on any victim in one day, and not
more than seventy five for one
ofleneo. When a female i- con
victed of an olfeneo punishable
by the lash, she may, in the dis
cretion of the court, be sentenced
to confinenent in .jail fora period
not to exceed twelve months.
The object of these provision ap
pear- to be to substitute the whip
ping-post for short terms of im
prisonment, and Uni- relieve the
penitentiary from petty offenders.
Intermarriage between whites
and negroes i- made a felony,
punishable by not loss than two
nor more than ten years imprison
nient.
It is worthy of remark that the
indifference of the south and w est,
where free trade w a- once suppo
ed to lie popular, is remarkable.
The prayers which were formerly
clamorous for it are now silent.
One of the most significant indi
cations of the changed feelings at
the west is the action of the < Hi in
senate, which, after adopting a
free trade resolution, reconsider
ed it, and decided not to interfere
with the tariff question either
way. —Bait liflQl'i SiiU% iftd*
