FATAL DUEL.-Thomas Richie, jr., the
editor Of the Richmond Enquirer and John
II. Peasants, formerly editor of the Rich
mond Wing, fought duel on the 25th ult.
with pistols and knives. The pistols did
not take effect and so they went to butcher
ing each other with knives. Ritchie re-
ceived cash in the face and Peasants was
SO much injured that he died the next day.
The cause was a newspaper fracas.
And this is honor! Good God, when will
society cease, by false names, to sanction
the commission Of the most fiendish crimes as
the only mode Of settling common quarrel
Where practice exists that can for mo-
ment justify two gentlemen of intelligence
going out TO cut and cash each other, like
the most untutored savages, Christianity and
civilization are mere words without meaning.
We know not which to pity most in this
:ransaction-the dead or the living.

AueLA1zE.-We have advocated the erec-
ton of this new county solely on the ground
that we believed it was asked for and would
accommodate the large majority of those in
'terested in the matter.-Lima Reporter,
January, 81.
Would not the Editor of the Reporter have
been equally candid if he had said, "we
have advocated the erection of this new
county solely on the ground that we own
couple Of farms in the vicinity of Waupau-
konnetta, and hold several tar titles of lots
in that village, and consequently are inter-
ested in the matter?'' The Editor of the
Reporter is quite accommodating to those
interested.

GREENE Co. INTELLIGENcER.--This is a new
democratic sheet published at Xenia, Ohio, by
j. S. Millard, Esq. 1t has already reached its
sixth number. 1t is sound in principle, edited
with ability, and will do efficient service to the
cause of popular rights. We hope the editor will
find the democracy of Greene prompt odo their
duty in his behalf.

NEw/CoUNTY OF AUGLA1zE.-lt will be-
seen that this new county project has been
for the present defeated in the Senate; in
consequence, no doubt of the untiring ep-
position to it by Mr.. Edgerton, the Senator
from this district. Why this opposition we
cannot conceive, unless he wishes to keep
this an open subject that he may hereafter
by renewal'of pledges, again secure the
new county influence in his favor. Our
Wapaukonetta friends are forgetting and
,forgiving people on this subject, but they
may possible make Mr.. Edgerton an exception
to the general rule.-Lima Reporter.
Does the Editor of the Reporter know
any thing about these pledges which he as
serts Mr.. Edgerton gave in relation TO the
new county of fAuglaize? Does he not know
from the best authority that no such pledges
were given? Why then does he repeat this
gratuitous falsehood? Let us have proof

PRoTRcTioN TO AGRIcuLTuRE.--A precious piece
an act for the encouragement Of agriculture
And what is this great measure of encouragement
to agriculture? Why, that whenever one or
two counties shall organize society Of not less
than thirty members, and raise fifty dollars, they
may call upon the Treasurer of State for not
cd from the farming community, to be distributed
in premiums to those persons who have the finest
horses, the largest cattle. and the best farming
implemsnts--being members of these agricultural
associations The farmer whose cattle are daily
employed in logging, clearing and ploughing on a
new farm, will see at glance that tho encourage
mont was not designed for him, but rather for thai
class of amateur farmers who never handle &
plough or WELD an axe themselves, but who car
afford toIspend some of their capital in breeding
fancy stocks, and in the purchase of novel imple
msnts to win the highest premiums at the agricul-
tural fars- The whole scheme is an arrant hum
bug SO far asit is designed to benefit the real ag.
rieulturist, and one ofthese miserable attempts at
protsctionwhich only result in the robbery of the
protected parties. Agricultureists need no other
protection but equal laws, and this they are not
likely to receive at the hands of those drvellers,
who have consented to tax their stock and every
dollar they have in the world, saving mean pit
tancs of some $50 or $40, while several millions
of bank stock is left untaxed and protected from
bearing an equal share Of the burdens of govern
ment with the industrious producers Of the State.

A PRODIGY Since Prince Hamlet's discovery
that 'fhere's not rogue in all Denmark but he's
an arrant knave," nothing SO striking and over
powofing has transpired as that of the Lima Re-
porter that "Mr. Leatherman is the only repre-
sentative in the House or Senate who has ever
lived up to the pledge made in this matter (the
new county of Auglaize) before the Election.'-
There must surely be jubilee among the ninety
and nine spectators in Waupauk onnetts lots,
when they learn that there was one honest man
connected with the scheme, and that man Michael
Leathcrman! AS great men know each other by
sympathy, SO kindred feeling doubtless gave
clearness to Davison's vision, and enabled him
to perceive the gem of truth in Leatherman's bo-
sem, hidden as it was from vulgar gaze. But we
regret that considerate parsonage as the Editor
the Lima Reporter shoudh have entirely omitted
DR.. Holbrook, another of ''the faithful, Surely
as 'lobby,' he fulfilled his pledges to his Wau-
paukonnetta constituents both in their letter and
spirit. "Honsr to.whom honor is due even among
thieves" We hope the Editor will deal more
fairly by his friends in future

The rottenness of banking smells so often.
sive that even its supporters would gladly escape
from it. Since McCook's attempt to brbe Col.
Piolett, because he pretended to act with the
Democratic party it is now attempted to escape
the odium of his crime by thrustng him upon us.
When the Democratic State Convention nobly
adopted the resolves which shut out forever all
possible connexion between Democracy and pa.
per money, and purged the party from the frauds
and corruptions of banking, McCook was present
as an agent and creature of the banks, struggling
and intriguing to prevent the triumph of princi-
pie. He failed; and was severed from us by the
same stroke that Topped away the Wayne Stand
ard, the Wooster bank interest," and those here TO-
fore professed friends who now refuse to support
Tod and the issues of the Convention. We re-
cognize no nolcgitimate currency but gold and silver

instrument Of the Lehigh Bank? We oppose

lks Will moi appear overp0Werlng

twill be seen by the first table that as paper
increased, the proportion Of specie decreased; an
inevitable result of the inleriority of bank prom
ises 10 the precious metals. The worst currency
displaces the best; and this is the true cause of
the scarcity of the precious metals in this coun-
try the specie is collected by the banks and lock-
ed up in their vaults, ready to be shipped off 10
foreign countries whenever the balance Of trade
turns against us. That this result actually hap
pens is further set forth by the figures of the re-
port from which we have already quoted. 1t is
there stated that France, which has no bank is
sues below five hundred francs, ($l0O) had, in
1884, five hundred and twenty five millions, and
in 1889 five hundred millions of dollars in gold and
silver 1t is elsewhere stated, on the authority of
Jacob, that England. which issues bank notes as
low as five pounds, ($24) had, in 1885, but three
hundred millions of dollars, Of the precious met
ais; while the United States, where one dollar
notes are issued, in the same year, had only
thirty-three millions. 1t is estimated by Ga1latin
that the whole amount of preciousi metals in Eu-
rope and America is four thousand five hundred
millions Of dollars; and by others, Quicker on
money! it is estimated at five thousand three hun
dred and twenty millions OF dollars About one.
third of this amount is supposed to be in coin.-
Our share of this sum if free from the drain caus-
ed by banks, could not be less than three hun
dred millions of dollars. This would be equal
to SIS for every man woman and child in the
Union. From the latest statements, the present
amount of the precious metals in the country
must exceed one hundred millions Of dollars
Were we rid of banks this amount would be in
creased to sum more than equivalent to the tact-
lites (about fifty mions) banks now afford us in
dependent of specie. We do not deny that in
passing through the change, prices and property
wouldsuffer for time, but freedom from the fluc-
tuations and bankruptcy, incident to paper cur.
rency, would more than repay the cost and suffer-
ing; While frmer credit. more money, and of the
right Kind too, and better prices for labor, would

complexion we must come at last"
