Even where the mins have fallen the great damage of the recent intense heat and drouth vyill be only partially re paired, as much of the corn was al ready parched to a crisp and the cot ton had already shed a vast amount of its fruit. The late rains will prp haMy insure a fair bottom crop, but little more than that. Europe maintains standing armies and navies aggregating six millions of men, who, with ships, forts, ar maments and armories, required for equipment, subsistence and arms about one thousand dollars each per annum, or a total of $6,000,000,000. These six million of armed idler* jiati issrize the'countries which maintain them. The general prosperity de mands that this military incubus should be removed or lessened to the utmost possible extent consistent with safety. Toget rid of this load is the universal interest of the proprie tary aDd industrial classes, who ought, therefore, to be profoundly averse to war. THE DAILY TIMES. I l 111111 l V MUVS.

Tho speech of General Ewing on the money question, delivered last Saturday, at fronton, 0., is the grout speech of the Ohio campaign. It is [lie most useful us well as the most splendid contribution to tho political debates of t lie day that lias been made, and it will be read and reread during tho Presidential campaign of lH7i>. The issue on the money question is staled by Getiral Ewing us follows: Tho Republicans say tho moneyed class shall determine tile proper vol ume of the currency ; the Democracy say tlic people shall determine it. They say the business of the people shall conform to sueu quantity of currency us the banks can keep afloat redeemable in gold; the Democracy say tho people shall determine it. They say the people’s money shall be Issued by pet corporation ; wo say it shall be issued by the Republic. They say t he people shall pay inter est on tlfe whole currency to the banks; wo Say the whole currency ahull be part of the debt bearing no interest. They say the interest hearing debt shall bo inereoeeq over four hundred millions to buy up and destroy the greenbacks and fractional currency ; we say it shall lie reduced over throe hundred millions by substituting greenbacks for national bank notes. Tho verdict of the people of Ohio on these issues, rendered after full discussion, will, I believe, bo ratified by the judgment of the American people. 1 have no fear of the result. If it be shown that the policy of the Democracy involves repudiation or a wild scheme of imposture, t.lio intel ligent, and conservative masses of our State will condemn it without instruc tions from Wail street. But if it shall appear to be consistent with national honor, mid demanded by the inter ests of the people, the truculent bil lingsgate with which it has been as sailed will only emphasize the popu lar verdict in its favor. The whole issue on this question is involved in the act of January 14, 1H75, entitled "An act to provide for the resumption of specie payments.” It is in substance as follows; 1. That the forty-eight millions of dollars of fractional currency then outstanding shall, "as rapidly us practicable, bo redeemed with silver and destroyed.” 2. That the national banks, now or hereafter established, may increase their currency, without limit of ag gregate amount, by deposit of United States bonds as security, under exist ing laws. ;i. As each vPM of new bank money is issued, SSJ of greenback* shall bo redeemed ami withheld from circula tion, until tli ■ three hundred and eighty-two millions of dollars of greenbacks, then outstanding, be re duced to three hundred millions. 4. On and after the first of January, 1872, all the remaining greenbacks shall lye redeemable on demand in coin ;and, onco redeemed, shall not be re-issued. 5. The Secretary of tho Treasury is required to provide tho coin for those redemptions, and authorized to sell live per cent, gold bonds to buy tho colli. Wo can give only a few of the strongest parts of his argument. The gravest objection made to tho Ohio Democracy is that it favors in flation limited only by t.lio capacity of the machine* for printing money. To this evil Ewing replies in a way which is unanswerable; It is said the Ohio Democracy de mand an issue of greenbacks, unlim ited and illimitable ; and that an ex cessive issue will sink their value, ami bo in effect rupudiation. But our platform prescribes a limit —the requirements of business. Re cently, in New York, a member of (tongress not our Buckeye abroad, Sant Cox—denounced our platform as one of wild inflation, and in tho same, breath declared that we already have more greenbacks than the want of trade demand. I answered that, if it bo true we have more currency than business requires our platform de mands contraction -and therefore lie should favor it. Thoeleinents of our material growth are thirty billions of property, and the labor which by use of property produces six billions of wealth an nually about six-sevenths of which product is consumed in living ex | penses. The business of production j and exchange is now done with sev- 1 !en hundred and forty millions of i currency which is its life-blood, j keeping afloat and discharging fifty | times its sum of commercial transac tions. We say inis body of business shall have all the blood it needs for i liealty action and growth. Either I the wants of trad - must determine j the limits of currency, or tho arbitra ry limit of currency will determine tire volume of trade. Which shall be subordinate ? If we are wrong, tho converse must bo true and the busi ness lie cut. down to the dimensions of tiie foreordained currency. It were as sensible to cut down the busi ness of our railway system to meet the Capacity of uu urbitardy fixed quantity of rolling stock, or to reduce the acreage of crops in the country by an arbitrary number of mowers and threshers; or after the custom of Chinese women, to limit the growth of the foot to it prescribed size of a shoe. Upon another of the most vital points of the money question the Ohio platform is silent. Gen. Ewing utters his own views in the most clear and conclusive manner; wo j refer to the convertibility of green- i backs into bonds, and of bonds into greenbacks: How shall tiie volume of currency | be adapted to the wants of the trade? i That is a practical question not in is i sue in this canvass. If the people i declare it shall be done, the “how” COLUMBUS, GA., SUNDAY, AUGUST l, 1875. can be left to their representatives, or to future popular inscussioh. I believe, and for five years past have advocated, Unit tho Government should issue a bond bearing uu Inter est little larger than the average mil increase of wealth, Into which legiii tenders may at any time be convert ed, and which shall be itself convert ed into legal tenders at the option ol the holder. When currency becomes source these bonds would be convert od into money; and, when money grows too plenty, tho bonds absorb tho surplus; tho business of tho coun try would thus determine and ob tain for itself the amount of currency necessary for its use, without arbi trary interference, and it would nev er be either glutted or starved; while the low rate of interest on the inter changeable bond would abate the usury which is the bano of our social system. This is one proposed meth o'l of adjusting the quantity of cur rency to the demands of business. It inis not the sanction of either of the great parties, but tins been indorsed by the late Treasurer of the United States, and by many of the most em inent financiers, statesmen and busi ness men of tho country, and is strongly recommended by our expe rience with our interest-bearing notes about the close of the war, before our home currency debt was made a foreign gold debt, and the policy was inaugurated of giving to the banks eoutrol of the people’s money. conn DI IttLO IX riIAXIT.. lIOOHEFORT AND d’caSS.VONAO HOLI DAY, &0. London, July 31.—Tho Timex re ports that Henri Rochefort, on the loth inst., sent a lettorto l’aul DeCos sagnac, calling on him to come to Geneva immediately with his sec onds. Cause- a challenge on account of certain articles in 1H72. DeOassng unc replied with an excessively abu sive letter, giving Rochefort a choice of weapons, aud appointing Brice Alexander, D. Wngrnn and Count Harrison his seconds. M. M. .Perrine and the Ordinary having consented to act as Rochefort’s seconds, met lltoso of M. DoC’assagnuc in Baris to arrange tho time of the duel. They claim t hat as their principal is tho in sulted party, he has not only choice of weapons but tho right to determine the distance. They then demanded that the men should meet with pis tols, at a distance of live paces, and shoot at tho word of command. M. DeCassagnao’s seconds said those wore simply murder, for when the arms of tho combatants wore extend ed tho muzzles of their weapons would almost touch. AI. Rochefort’s representatives refused to admit these objections. They said their princi pal, considering the importance of tlic ease, had been particular about the conditions. A friend of M. Do- Cassagnac then proposed that the distance, be thirty paces, each com batant be allowed to advance live steps after the word is given, the time of firing to be optional, and the shooting to continue until one of the parties falls. Rochefort’s seconds declined this proposition, and tho matter rests there. Tho JJaihj Nt’iex lias a dispatch stat ing that an article has been drawn up and signed by tho seconds of both parties, declaring it impossible to settle the conditions of the duel. Atouduy next is banking holiday, and tho Slock Exchange and Alining Laue will bo closed. The cotton mar ket and all other Liverpool markets will also lie closed.

Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every subject. Printed from new type and Illus trated with Several Thousand Engravings j and Maps. The work originally published under the title of The New American Cyclopedia was com pleted in 1803. since which time tiie wide circula tiMii winch it has attained in all part* ot the United .States, and the signal developments which hove taken place lu every branch of science, lit erature and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, and to issue anew edition entitled The American Cyclopaedia. Within the last ten years thfi progress of dis covery in every department of knowledge lias made anew work of reference an imperative wafct. The movement of political affairs lias kept pace with the discoveries of science, aud their fruitfu application to the industrial aud useful arts and the convenience and refinement of social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc curred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. Tho civil war ol our own country, which was at its height when the last volume ot the old work appeared, bus happily been ended, and anew course of commercial and industrial activity lias been commenced. Largo accessions to our geographical knowl edge have been made by tlio indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the laHt de cade, with the natural reßultxd' tho lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names aro iu every one’s mouth, aud of whoso lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which tiie de tails are us yet preserved only in the newspapers nr in tho transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in perrna- j ucut and authentic history. In preparing the present edition f*>r the press, it lias accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to tho latest possi ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of tho most recent discoveries iu science, of every fresh production iu literature, and of tho newest inventions in the practical arts, as well os to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical eveuts. The work has been begun after long and care ful preliminary labor, ami with tiie most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful term ination. None of tiie original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopedia, with the same plan uud compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements iu its composition us have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which aro introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace ull branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable features ol scenery, architecture and art, as well as the various pro cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embelishmont, no pains havo been spared to in sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia, aud worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing about 8(H) pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, aud with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.

If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the cow’s udder and kept dry for years, theu mois tened, aud the keenest point of a Lancet dipped In it and drawn gently ou the arm, so aa not to draw the blood, will so impregnate and change the entire system as to prevent tho party so vac cinated from taking the moat loathsome of dis eases (small pox) for an entire life; again, if the Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu brious clime, by simply absorbing from tho at mosphere the poißon malaria, why will not the proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thus enable parties to inhabit malarial districtf with impunity? Wo claim that there is such a remedy, and that we havo prepared it, and applied it, and proved it in our Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt—and that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit the worst mularial districts without the fesr of liaviug any diseases arising from malaria; such as Chills and Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever, Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and .Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem orrhoids, aud that it will oure all the above dis canes, except tho worst cases of Billious aud Yel low Fever. This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt, as it corrects the humors of the oody and produces a healthy action, invigorating tho sys tem, and thus enabling it to per.orm its various duties without fearing the effects of malaria in the toast. It has been tried in thousands of cases without a failure. They can be obtained trom the proprietors in any quantity at tho Powell Building, junction of Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga. Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran tee that it will cure or the money refunded. N. B.—Nouo genuine without the trade mark is stamped upon them. Dra.
