tornado. The CaroIinian's pr sp &C were

the choice of a large majority OF the un-
terrified and conquerIng democracy; and
we do hope that, by his elevation to the
Presidency, the uni)n. ave, the whole

EXTRAORDINARY HOLE IN THE
EARTH.

The Journal of Commerce pub dishes the
following: "A friend who hls just re
turned from the South, informs us that
about forty miles t.is side of Tuscaloosa,
on the road 10 Huntsville, the driver po'n-
ted to a large h'le in field, which he
said was the greatest curiosity IN the
world. The passengers went 10 tine spot,
and found round hole about seventy iret
IN diameter, with the eIrh on all sides APP
pa.enlly solid, and overgrown with grass
There was water at the bottom, appa-
rent Y IA hnndrei feet from The surihce.-
Il IS at The top ct Il ri 'ge OF earth, up n
which, at the dstan,e Of twenty rods,
stood the deserted dwelling OF the owner
of The plantation. The driver stated that
about three years ago, in the. dusk OF The
evening, the planter WIS startled ov a
rumolng noise, and stepping from his
dor, was asloni,hed to find that mag
nificent pine tree m re thln hundred
leet high, and noble oak which stood by
its side in The open field, had 'th d'sap
peared! On G ing to the spot, this hole

an he wonder sill remains unaccounted

Mr.. Riddle has written another letter
from Andalusia, dated July 20, 1913
The object of the letter is TO sustain the
following propositions:
LIST. That by the Constitution Of the
United States, there is created tribunal
wholly independent of the States, to de-
cid all questions between Pennsylvania
and any other foreign State.
I'd. That befpre that tribunal, Judgment
can be obtained for every dollar Of princi-
pal aad interest of these Pennsylvania
bonds, aad that all the property Of the
State can be seized and sold, to satisfy
thlt judgment, just as if it belonged to tn
hunbIest citizen; and
81 That all the other twenty five
States are bor'd to carry into execution
by arms, j. nccessary-the Judgment Of
that tribunal against Pennsylvania.
We see nothing in matter or manner Of
this publication, at variance with the late
rumonr in relation 10 the health of Mr..
Bidle. The institution over which that
gentleman presided, by tho indirect en-
ployment OF its means in influencing the
Legislature Of the State, was the sole
cause Of plunging the people into use
less and onerous debt. The author of
such extensive evil then sits coolly down,
invite foreign power to make an attack
upon he State thus victimised, and in
.vokes the other twenty-five States, by
force and arms, TO compel Pennsylvania to
pay the debts OF the United States Bank.
Here are the inevitable results of the pa
per system, bankruptcy civil war, and the
invocation OF foreign armed power 10

| 7lch denial has ever been made 10 any au-
lhorilatve shape. Mr.. Howard, the head
and front OF bond payers, took up the case
of Campbell. ct. al. VS. the Union Bank.
for the purpose of trying This question, ii
was decided in favor of the bank, and since
that time the question has been considered
as settled. We utterly deny that the dem.
ocratic party contemplate in the remotest
degree interfering with the legitimate
functions of the judiciary. A rlgid-nI-
most ultra -adherance 10 constitutional
law, is their characteristic. The docu-
mcnts he refers to, authorize no such con.
clu,ion as the Creole makes. He might
as well have said that fire will burn in
Mississippi, because there is ice at the
North Pole.
Again he says "repudia'ion is opposed
to taking charge of The hank and collecting
its debts bat proposes to collect nothing.
This is again bat mere assump'ion,- TO
say nothing of the same awkward and con
fused personidca.ion Of the word "rePndl-
alton" which runs through the whole arl-
cle--would any moro have been col
lected if the State had taken the bank?--
Has not the bank able a,tornies who have
been doing their duty, and collecting all
they can? If the State had taken the
bank probably not 50 mucH would have
been collected, az men are generally more
careful when acting for themselves than
when acting for others. The asslgnces as
we'll as the repudiators sly that the bank
will not be more than allie 10 take up its
circulation. Bat says the Creole, ''he ex-
perence of the last two years has shown
that reputation will lessen the va 'ue OF the
notes of the Union Bank. What connexl'n
is here between premiss and conclusion!
Did reputation lessen the value OF the
notes OF the Citizens Bank, orthe Brandon
Bank? The same cause which lessened
the value of the notes Of these banks, les
sened the value Of the notes OF the Union
Bank: unslfe banking, and the making
bad debts. The same mode Of reasoning
by experience would show that the comet
lessened the value Of the Union Bank
notes. We again say that "thIs is the
shalowest Of all humbngs." II Tcpudn-
ton had any effect on the notes OF the
bank il would be to increase their Val Ie.--
All admit that the bank is first liable for
her bonds; il they are rcpudated her La
bilities will be ie5seHcl, she ought to be
more able ,opry the bill-h'llers. The
notes Of the bank ought 10 cis2 as her la
bihties are deere ,sel.
This is but specimen OF wing re1son-
ng. A man might suppose that some de-
gree Of ingenuity was required to crowd $"
MANY errors as are to be fund in this arti'
Gle, INTO so short space. They are
