Has this writ been applied forl Is there
any evidence that it has been reiused!-
The National Constitution has provided a
supreme tribunal 10 try all cases which can
properly arise between two States, or the
citizens Of two States. Is the State Of O.
hio 10 march its militia into Virginia, before
this tribunal has been appealed lol Do the
writing lawyers of the liberty party en-
dorse this idea2 But again, the State Of O.
hio has put forth its sovereignty, as far as its
laws can 80. By the law Of 1885, this very
act, exactly defined--of kidnapping men IL
Ohio, has been made apenientiary offence.
"Ihose six Virginia gentIemen,' whom
the Parkersbugh Gazette mentions, If they
ever step foot in Ohio, can, every one Of
them, be sent to the Penitentary. And if
they do come into Ohio, they will be very
apt to be set to work at Columbus.

it for what he has here admitted. He has
only admitted facts known to every man IN
community through whose hands passes
even the most limited smount Of money.
WheIe is the merchant, the mechanic, or
laborer who does not know that we have,
literally, been paying tribute to the banks
OF the nelghboring St1tesl Who does not
know that vast proportion OF our crcuIa-
ton is made up Of paper Of other States,
al out which there is but little known!-
There is, undoubtedly, more specie change
in circulation than there was when the
STATE was flooded with ehin.pIasters and
monetary affairs were undergoing an un-
healthy agitation. But the prosptct of a
settlement Of the currency question has
driven this temporary paper QUITO circula-
ton and the specie has taken its place, so
far as the demands of business have rem
dered it necessary. But, specie still COM
poses but little of the general circulation,
and is used no more TO meet the general
demands OF business than it was when
there were between thirty and forty banks
in operation in Ohio. These facts are all
known to those who still persist in their
war on the currency OF the State. Their
promises have never been realized, their
theories have all been exploded, the people
Of Ohio have suffered incalcuablv under
the influence OF their insane legislation,
and none but the shavels OF our own and
the bankers Of neighhoring States have de-
rived benefit from it, yet they are not sat-
isficd. AS the election approaches and the
probabilities Of carving their followers in
orof their hard-money schemes dimn-
ish, we shall hear an occasional note from
those who declare that they are not for de-
stcoying the banks, butmereiy wish to "re-
form" the evils Of the system. They who
say such things expect, perhaps, TO be be-
lieVed; while at the same time they follow
the lead OF such men as TappaH and Alien
who are known as the most uncompomi-
sing enemies of banks that can be in the
Union. In the Senateo Of the United States
they have keptupan unceasing war on tue
Banks of the District Of Columbia. No re-
slriclions and penalties have modified their
hostility. When deserted by the leading
men OF their own party, in the Senate, they
have still held out against the demands and
interests Of the people. So invetcrote was
this hostility that they even refused, in one
instance, to allow the banks Of the District
additional time to close up their business,
although they voluntarily obligated them
seIvas not to issue more paper. TappGa,
the President OF the late convention was
the man, it will be recolIected, who said
that loU cages were just as good as hig!
ones and that a small sum would answer
just as a large one; if we could only bring
the Government down to the true standard
Knowing the sentiments and observing the
past course of these men, the people of O.
hio will not again be led astray by them,
however specious the pretexts may be that
are advanced by the lesser lights.

THE GIRDLE OF FIRE,
by PIERCE II. sELToN.

The lever counties of New jersey are
proverbialIy barren, being covered with
Immense forests of pine, instespersed with
cedar swamps. During the dry sumner
months these latter become barGhed to an
extent that is lncredjbip, aud the accident

immense tracts OF country in flames. The
rapid4ty wi h which the confagralion, when
once kindledsp eads through these swamrs
can scarcely be credited except by those
who know how Thoroughly the moss and
twigs are dried up by the heat Of the Au,
gust sun, Indeed, scarcely spot can be
poiHted out in west Jersey, which has not,
at one time or anolneb been ravaged hy

that an immense tract Of these pine barrens
was cn fire, and the citizens of PhIadeI-

conAagration. The legendary history o
these wild countries is full of daring deed
and hair breadth escapes, which have been
witnessed during such times Of peril. One
of these tradh.onory storiesit is our purpose
TO relate. The period of our tale dates ial
back into the history CT our sister State
when the country was even more thinly
settled than at present.
1t was Sunny morning in midsummer,
when Il gay party was assembled at the
door OF neat house in one OF the lower
counties OF New Jersey. Foremost in the
group stood tall, manly youth, whose
frank countenance attracted the eye. By
his side was bright young creature, appa-
rendy about eighteen years Of age, whose
golden tresses were iiltype Of the sunny
beauty Of her countenance. Bat now her
soft blue eyes were dimmed with tears,
and she leaned on the shoulder of her mo
ther, who was apparently equally affected
The dress of the daughter, and her attitude
Of leave-taking, told that she was bride,
going forth from the home Of her childhood,
to enter on new and untried sphere Of life.
The other members Of the group were COM
posed Of her father, her brothers and sis
tiers, and the bridemen and bridesmaids.
"Eod bless you, my daughter, and have
you IN dis holy Keeping, said the tatIler,
as he gave her his last embrace, land now
farewell"
The last kiss was given, the last parting
word was said, the last long look had been
taken, and now the bridal party was being
whrled through the forest on one Of the
sweetest mornings Of the sweet month Of
July.
It was indeed lovely day. Their way
lay through an old road which was SO rare.

WHAT DOES lie Do Fer 4 LlvINGi-There
is no phenomenon more striking or more
perplpxng 10 those who look upon The
world in large cities, than 10 observe how
many there are about town who seem to
live weIh butappear to do nothing; men
who are as it were, exempt from the tolls
Of existence, and though without property
that any one knows of do still conirve to
make gentlemanly appearance, and to
have their share Of the good things of time
-"baskers in the sunbeam" as our cotem-
porary of the Boston Transcript well re-
marks--no like Italian lazzaroni, in filth
and rags, but like gentlemen of the first
water, in troad-cIoth and white kids, dan-
tily dressed, and sometimes perlumed like
a miliner.
And how do they livel having no bank
accounts, as somebody else remarks OF them
drawing no Notwithstanding no de-
posites! "All their wants." says the same
authority, "appear to be supplied in some
occult and lmperceptible manner; tailors
make no complaint of them--boot makers
or hatters trouble them with no 'little bills
they look sheriff's officer boldly in the
face as they pass him, and his eye glances
with professional indifference over their
dainty persons. How do they get Il livingt
