THE TIMES AND THE REMEDY.

1t is much doubted whether the Relief
Bill passed by the Legislature will produce
the effect desired The stay law may give
breathing time to a fewsand enable them
to weather the storm, but those whose
means are locked up in stocks of imaginary
value will realize nothing more in the end
than they could now--in fact we look upon
many OF the suspensions in the cities by
merchants and spectators as total failures.
We believe it to be the same case with the
banks there that have advanced heavy
loans to favored individuals, considerable
portion of which will probably be lost
The country banks and merchants On the
other hand we believe to be in far better
condition, as every one Of them now sol
vent, If no new debts are contracted, can
readily realize enough within a year to pay
of their present indebtedness, and if a
more liberal system had been pursued by
the city banks and brokers, but little diff
Guilty would be experienced in honoring
drafts, notes, &c. Instead however of a
show OF llberality, drafts are drawn payable
in city funds, the consequence of which
IS that most of these drafts are returned
without even an attempt at collection. no
such funds being procurable here on any
conditions. This is owing to the failure of
the wheat crop in this section, through
which the balance of trade had heretofore
been adjusted, and affords practical illus
tration of the effects of tmportiag more
than is exported-for what holds good of
community, is equally applicable to our
country as whole. Thus no sooner do
we ind that the spectators who have here
totore controlled the breadstuff. cotton. su-
gar, and other markets, (and through their
natural allies, the importers, flooded our
country with foreign fabrics of all dcscrip-
tlons,) are no longer in power, than eyery
foreign arrival brings gold to this country
instead of taking it away as heretofore.

Rev Mr. Ross delivered some forcible re-
marks on the uncertainty of life.


nA-Hallow Eve, on which the young
formerly practised charms and rites to dis
cover who will be their partners for life,
was duly celebrated here by all the young
rascals that could get ON the street, some
of whom threw corn and cabbage about
that they would perhaps be glad to eat be-
fore the winter is over.

RoBBERY.-One of those travelling louts
with which the country is now infested
few weeks ago applied for work to Rev J.
K. Hanawalt protesting to be satisfied with
anything that would give him home du-
ring the winter. lie was accordingly en-
ployed, and few days thereafter while the
family were engaged in worship went out
Of the room, and is supposed to have very
coolly pocketed Mr. III watch Worship
being ended, says correspondent of the
Democrat, they retired to bed, not suspect
ing anything wrong, when 10. in the morn
ing not only the watch was missing, but
also an entire suit of good clothes belonging
to young man of the family, and the la
borer absquatulated,' whom they soon
suspected as being the thief As no time
was to be lost, some of the young men of
the neighborhood, eager for sport, mounted
their fleet steeds and gave chase About
tow-path, near Mill Greek, in Huntingdon
county. When he saw his pursuers, he
made an attempt as if to jump into the
river and drown himself, but We suppose
concluded the water was too cold. At
any rate he abandoned his resolution, and
came and threw himself down at the feet
of his pursuers, and "forked over" the sto-
len goods, which consisted of the above
mentioned, and also some clothes which he
had taken from house about ten miles be-
low the town of Mifflin. As he acted so
generously they concluded TO let him 90 on
his way unarrested. The property last
mentioned is in the possession of J. r.
Hanawalt, and may be obtained by the
proper owner coming forward and identify
ing the same.

Our Beautiful Constitution

In the Senate yesterday, the subject was
mooted of printing a number of copies of the
State Constitution, with the double purpose
of distribution by members of the Legisla-
ture, and of afforiing fat job for the Pho
neer, to be paid for out of the State Taxes,
when collected from the hard earnings of the
people!
With characteristic meanness, the Demo-
cratic majority proposed to insult the Repub-
lican Senators by attaching to the document
when so printed, tho names Of the officers
and members of the absconding minority of
the Constitutional Convention, over which
SIBLEY presided!
Senator LINDSEY, of Olmstead, took the
occasion to lash the majority in style that
made the fur fly every time nor did he seem
imbued with very profound respect, either,
for the style, grammar, blunders and inconsis-
tencies of the precious document which Mr..
SHELLEY and others of his party on the stump
were so disingenuously careful to claim the
SACuie VI, 40 O0ihSo Sii'iiSiJ " DShAONA"'AN
structure, with which the Black Republicans
had had nothing to do beyond agreeing to it
when reported from the Committee of Con-
ference.
This credit SO claimed, Mr.. LINDsLEY did
not deprive them of-particularly as the
whole amount of credit to be derived from
its parentage was so small that it would hard
ly bear division between two parties
Amongst other beauties of the Constitu-
ton just discovered, it appears to contain no
limitation of the term of members of the
House. The Senator'S are restricted to two
years-but the members of the present
House Of Representatives are in for life -
1t must be democratic Constitution" sure
enough, for such a provision is certainly not

Col. Benton and the Albany Journal
on the Currency.


Col. BENTON still cherishes his idea of an
exclusively hard money currency, and no
doubt conceiving the times suspicious, has
written strong letter urging it once more
upon the public. The Albany Journal, for
merly an organ of the Wing party, but now
Republican, takes the letter very coolly and
does not appear to have strong antipathies at
''enlarging the specie basis" 1t says:
There are many kernels of wheat in the
bushel of chaf of which Col. Benton's letter
is composed. 1t is easy to excite prelu-
dices in favor of specie and against paper,
especially among those who have little or
none of either. To degree, the doctrine is
sound. We need large-larger, indeed, in
fusion of the precious metals into our curren-
cy. But when Col. Benton and the Albany
.4t,as talk about paper as "wOrthless" and
"vicious" they talk simple nonsense.
But our only purpose now, in abiding to
the matter, is to say that it is purely ma
it must be done by the General Government.
Should New York, as she did in 1886, sup
press our own small bills, it would make
room for the deprecated and less valuable
small bills of other States.
We are decidedly in favor of charging the
specie basis. More gold and silver should
be in circulation. But neither one, nor two,
nor three, nor half a dozen States, can work
out this reform. 1t must be done by the
suppression of small bills in all States And
it must be done by action. The Democracy,
whose organs talk up specie, are in possess
ion of the government, the Presidency, the
Departments, and Congress included. All
the wheels are to be in motion soon. If it is
to be gold and silver Administration. we
shall have the evidence of it in the Presi-
dents Message, followed by reformatory
measures in Congress.

From the N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 90.

" ASHlNCTON, NOV. ~.
The President is determined to sustain the
Kansas Constitution, regarding it as the m ost
practical mode of reaching the conclusion
He will make it test in the party.
The forthcoming message will emphasize
these opinions, the President being encourage
ed thereto by the promise of the united
support of the South. He will not remove
Walker, being content with censuring his po-
sition. Walker will not resign, but will re-
main here to contest the point before Con-
gress.
Senator Broderick Of California, openly
avows his general opposition to the Admin
istration and letters from Senator Douglas
look in the same direction, with qualifica-
tons. He will reach here on Tuesday, and
speak for himself
An attempt may be made to introduce
Kansas into Democratic caucus before pro-
ceeding to nominations for Speaker and
Clerk, owing to the unexpected phase the
issue has now assumed. If so, split is in
evitable Powerful influences are being ex-
erted to prevent such movement, the lead
ers fearing the struggle and its consequent
ces.
Mr.. Phelps of Missouri will be Chairman
of the Committee on Ways and Means if
Mr.. Orr is elected Speaker.
1t is understood that Senator Bates of
Delaware, will resign, and that Mr.. Comegys
the former incumbent, will be appointed by
the Governor, with the approval of Mr. Bay
ard. No Legislature is to be elected in that
State for two years. 1t is now thought that
the new Hall of the Representatives will be
ready when Congress opens. The carpet is
ready, and the seats and desks. The chairs
cost seventy dollars each, and the desks nine
ty dollars. Rather pretty prices for times
like these.

The Belleplafne Enquirer and the U. s
Senate.

The "Eaquirer' is neatly printed, and
industrously edited paper, just started at
Belleplaine, in Scott county, with D. A.
WRIGHT, formerly of the st. Anthony Er
press, as the editor. 1t is ''Democratic' in
politics. 1t takes ground in favor Of FRANK
LIN STEELE, for U. S. Senator.
In long article, headed "That Bargain
Is it binding on the Democracy ?"-the pub
lie are informed as follows
''It is widely bruited and universally con-
ceded that on the close of the Constitutional
Convention, arrangements were entered into
by the adherents Of Gov. German and the
adherents of Mr.. Henry M. Rice, for a truce
between those bellgerent gentlemen and their
still more belligerent partizans this truce to
continue in force from its date and till after
the election Of United States Senators. And
in addition it is claimed certainly by some of
the friends of Gov German, that there was
also tacit understanding, if not secret ar
tice in the truce itself, obligating each of the
high contracting parties to promote the Sen
atorial aspirations of the other"
We suspect somebody has "sold' the
editor of the Enquirer, on this alleged bar
gain; but its none of our business, anyhow.
The editor goes on to discuss the contract
at considerable length, and winds up as fol-
lows:
mot to weary by further extending this
article, the conclusion arrived at, is that while
Gov. German and Mr.. Rice have neither for
feited nor compromised any claims that they
may have had to an election to the United
States Senate, they have at the same time
acquired no new ones by any truce, treaty or
condition that they may have made or caus-
ed to be made, and that the field is open to
the candidacy of all capable and sound Dem
ocrats."
On inquiry, We suspect the Enquirer
would find out that Mr.. RICE and his friends
at least, are not going to stick to the bar
gain, if any was made
