10 SMITH DIsCHARGED.-The Springfield
Of the St. Louis Republican
writes under date of the 5th instant:
"The Hon. Nathaniel Pope pronounced
his decision this morning in the case Of 10
Smith, brought before him upon habeas cor
pus. The decision was one of the most
chaste and beautiful things ] ever listened
to; and the correctness Of the conclusions
to which his Honor arrived, has, so far as my
observation extends, been universally acqui-
esced in. He clearly demonstrated that 10
Smith was not fugitive from justice in con-
temptation of either the acts Of Congress or
the provisions Of tho Constitution Of the
United States; and that even II he vdS, yet
the affidavit was so radically defective, upon
which the Tequisition was made by the Co
vernon of Missouri, that he should be bound
10 discharge him. His decision, however,
was mainly based upon the broad ground
that he was not fugitive from justice, and
consequently not the subject Of surrender
TO the authorities Of another State''
We suppose the opinion is correct. If 10
Smith, residing in Illinois, sent his Mormons
into Missouri To assassinate Gov. Booos, the
act, we presume, does not constitute 10 a
fugitive from the justice Of Missouri. Ne
Ivertheless, he ought 10 Be punished for the
crime under the laws Of Illinois Lou. Jour.

OVERLAND MAIL 70 THE PAcIFIc.-Seth
Sweetser, Esq, u. S. Consul at Guayaquil,
has presented a memorial to Congress, asking
for the establishment of regular line Of pack
cts from the United States to Chagres, Isth-
mus of Panama) and an overland mail to the
Pacific. At present we are indebted to Brit
ish colonial post Offices for all, or nearly all,
our correspondence by way of Panama. The
growing importance Of our commerce in the
Pacific, from Cape Horn to Nootka Sound
our intercourse with the Sandwich Islands
and China-and our extensive interests con-
nec,ed with the whale fishery in those seas
all concur in recommending the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Sweetser to the attention of our
Government. New Grenada has recently
opened the Isthmus as highway Of nations.
and it seems but natural that the second
commercial power in the world, geographi-
cally SO near to the Isthmus, should profit by

This will probably be very shocking to the
p.ous yoaL, the Black Coon. but the cqraallg
minded will Propo rly appreciate it. Evil to
him who evil thinks.
q. What is the chief end Of Clay Wing
\. The chief end of a Clay Wing is to
acquire power and office, and to enjoy the
same forever.
z. What rule hath been given how We
may obtain office and enjoy it forever?
\. The practice of bribery. persecution.
falschood, deception. abuse. and misrcpre-
scntation- and of binding and humbuggine
the people. is the only sure Wing rule. by
which we may obtain power and enjoy it.
z. Hath this rule always been sure and
suCCe SSlul!
4. No: for sometimes the great Wing ad-
vcrsary, Locof6co, has exposed to the people
this ialschood and deception. and shown to
them what arc our real objects and designs:
by which means We have been too often cir
cumvcntcd.
Q. What are the Clay Wing command
mcnts!
4. The first Clay Wing commandment is.
= Thou shalt have, worship, and obey no
other supreme leader than Henry CLAY
q. What Is required in this first command

4. 1t Is required that we shall devote our
selves. body and property, wholly to Henry

We have received the Catalogue of Han
over College, for 1928. Il appears that
the whole number of students Is 81. The
location of this ln:titution within one mile OF
the Ohio river. between the two flourishing
cities of Cincinnati and Louisville, and six
miles from the city of Madison, makes it easy
of access from the vast region for which that
stream is the great thoroughfnrc. Its sirua-
ton in small and re ircd village of great
salubrity, gives TO it advantages in respect to
cheapness of living, health, and exemption
from the temptations of more PoPulous towns.
BY public vote the retail of ardent spirits
is excluded from the township. The moral
and religious character of the surrounding
community, and the watchful care of the
Faculty, afford securities for the safety and
welfare of the students.

The British Tariff is operating fuorabIy
to the interests of the West. The market
for American provisions Is steadily on the IN
crease. and will become very important. BY
the late foreign news. We learn that the bark
Pearl, 100 tons, Captain BricEicy, belonging
to New Brunswick, arrived in the London
Docks. from New Orleans, with Il perfectly
full cargo of provisions, the first received from
that quarter. viz: 1919 barrels and 227
tierccs of pork. l21 barrels and ) boxes of
bacon, , barrels of hams, 1921 kegs and
ticrcc of lard, l2i barrels of tallow. | 1 half
barrels of tongues, 80 casks of oil cake. and
30 barrels of flour. The state of our tariff
was creating alarm, however. even among
the warmcst friends of free trade. who were
anxiously asking. How are we TO pay for
this American producer We must cease to
receive it, unless they modify the duty on
our goods.

In addition to the annual salary of Sl,500
upwards of $1,000 more annually for . con
tingencics, and the hundreds upon hundreds
expended upon his house and furniture, the
Governor has had a fine fat job in revising
the laws. The Treasurer has also had a
hand in the job. Now let us see how much
it comes to. On page 81 of the Auditor
Report, made November -. 1912, the Au-
at $4,000 co.! This Is nice little sum to
add to the fit salaries they have been recciv-
ing from the people! How much longer
shall they thus suck the blood of the people !

Advantage Of "a sound specie Currency

We see the general state of affairs that the
business of the country has separated itself from
banking in great degree. The conseCu nee
is that with great abundance of produce,
prices have fallen to a low specie level-all
those articles which enter into the cost of man
ufactured articles are exceedingly low. Hence
manufacturing can be conducted at remuner-
ating rates so low as to enable us TO underse
England in the great markets Of the world, and
even to send the coarser descriptions of fabrics
to the heart of her manufacturing districts.
This IS the result of a low currency here now.
The future promises that the level OF curren-
cy in England will be very much above that
of this country, because money is now exceed
ingly plenty in England, and is beginning to
exert its influence for producing that initiation
for the perfection of which the machinery
remains unimpaired, the Bank of England and
the numerous country banks are ready to put
forth their strength in all directions. In this
country, on the other hand, there is no central
paper money power-S60, 100000 Of bank
capital has gone into liquidation and eight popu-
lous States are comparatively without banks,
where that large sum formerly existed. An
absolute necessity therefore exists for maintain
ing for a length of time, at least, specie cur
rency, and with it a specie level Of prices which
will facilitate exports, rendered more profitable
by initiation Of the English currency. Under
such circumstances, not only may the manu-
lacturers of the United States obtain foot
ing abroad, from which they cannot be driven,
but the drain upon England be such as to shake
her paper system to its base. In the close
and rapid communication which now exists
between the two nations twill become impos-
sible to sustain an inflated currency there with
specie level existing here.
