Home Hit,

The Newark Advocate publishes
the circular of the State Treasurer, who
says that no bank notes will be re-
ceived for taxes, except the issues of
the State Bank of Ohio and Indepen-
dent and Stock Banks ofthe State, and
remarks thereon, that, coming as it
does from q Republican State officer,
it furnishes an unctious commentary
on the laundering tomfoolery Of the
late Republican Legislature. When
Chase and his party got into power
two years ago, they found on the stat.
ute-book a law (FOllett's) passed by
their Democratic predecessors, that
forbade the circulation in Ohio ofany
foreign bank. bill under the denomina-
tion of $40. Blockheads as they were,
one of their first acts of stupid reCk-
lessness was the repeal of that whole
some law. The natural consequence,
as everybody knows, was q speedy in
fux Of foreign trash, that has been eli
ther sold to the broker at heavy
discount or is still rotting in the hands
of our people. After again opening
Ohio to this trash by positive act OF
the Republican Legislature, the people
are now told that it is good enough for
those who like it, but that IL acOnt

the late Free-State triumph in Kansas
as a Republican victory. Our read

made by the Black Republicans, in re-
latiOn to slavery in Kansas, if Mr.,
Buchanan was elected President
Well, Mr.. Buchanan is President, and
Kansas, by the action Of her own peo,
pie, is free. Now, in announcing the
triumph of the Free State men there,
the Republican papers are compelled
to acknowledge alike their own false
hoods, and their own shame. Here is
what Kansas paper, the Herald of
Freedom says :

caution our Republican friends against
claiming the result here as a Republi-
can victory. 1t is a Free.State tri-

Supposed Robbery.

On Friday last, a young man resi-
ding in the neighborhood Of London
derry, by the name OF Moots, was
found about two miles east of this city,
lying within atew feet of the RAILROAD
track, very seriously, and probably
fatally injured. lie has been delerii-
GUS ever since found, and can conse-
quently give 10 account Of the circum.
stances under which he received bis
injuries. One OF his legs was broken
near the ancle, the bone protrrding,
when he was not discovered, two or
three inches from the flesh. lie has
a severe wound on the head by which
the brain has been injured. His
mind wanders as the consequence. It
is said that the unfortunate man took
the express for Londonderry Station at
l O'Clock A. NJ. on the 23d ult. He
had in his possession, as his friends
state, between three and four hundred
dollars in money. His carpet bag was
riAed and found lying a considerable
distance from his person. A part of
his clothing and all his money was
gone. Suspicion Of foul play enter
talned BY his friends are well ground
ed. lie is a young man Of correct
and steady habits. His recovery can
not be hoped for.-CAillicOthe id,

The tumbling down of Black Re.

three years is most strikingly illustra.
ted by the following. The Republi.
cans defeated the Democratic State
ticket in 1854, by $4,000 majority;
in 1855, by $4,000 majority; in 1855,
by 1900 majority; in 1857, by 2,
900 majority. These figures appall-
ing to the opposition, may well speak
volumes encouragement and salts
faction to the Democracy. The Dem
ocratic party has been able to
strengthen itself through series Of
adverse circumstances never before
struggled against by any party in the
country. 1t is to-day stronger than
ever. Its fortitude and energy has
been rewarded by a victory of solid
advantages; the election of the State
Legislature, and a majority of the
county offices voted for at the last
election. The majoritieS the Repub-
licans unfairly acquired could not be
lasting, and they never in Ohio can
be seen again, if the Democratic party

President Buchanan on Paper
Money.

Let those who understand the caus-
es of the financial troubles which now
afflict the country, read the speeches
Of President Buchanan, when in Con.
gress, and which will be found in the
"Life of Buchanan" published by
Derby of New York. In one speech
he says:
"The evils of a redundant paper
circulation are manifest to every eye.
1t alternately raises and sinks the val
ue Of every mans property. 1t makes
a beggar of the man tomorrow who
INDUCED in dreams of wealth to-day.
1t converts the business of society in
to a mere lottery whilst those who
distribute the prizes are wholly IRE.
sponsible to the people. When the
collapse comes, as come it must, it
casts laborers out Unemployment, and
crushes manufacturers and merchants,
and ruins thousands of honest and in
dustrious citizens"

Specie In the United States.

It is computed, upon reliable au.
thority, that there is now in the Uni
ted States the sum of at least three
hundred millions of dollars of specie,
equal to about twelve dollars for each
man, woman and child. Until re-
Gently the bank circulation was com
puted at about one hundred and nire-
ty millions of dollars. At present il
must be less, and it may fairly be es.
timated that there is about two dollars
of specie for every dollar Of bank cir
cnlation. Such proportion between
coin aud it's paper representative has
perhaps never existed before since the
formation Of the government, but un-
fortunately the specie, abundant as it
is in comparison with the bank circu.
lation, has now to uphold a fearful
amount of promises to pay in the
shape of Railroad bonds, State bonds,
and City bonds, of every description
which the ingenuity of man can in
vent.

NEW 1ORK, NOV. =.
The Nebraska Correspondent of the
Times, under date OctO Der %, writes:
News has just reached here from
our frontier Mormon settlement, on
Root-fork of the Platte River, near
the mouth of the Beaver, that some
seceders from the Mormon Church
have arrived, bringing the news that
a large force of Mormon militia, under
Brigham Young and IL. G. Kemball,
were preparing to leave Salt Lake
City, with provisions for a six weeks
campaign in the mountains, and stop,
ifpossible, the passage OF the United
States troops. The positive descrip-
tion Of the Mormon force was secret;
but it was generally supposed that at
the pass in the mountains near Bear
River Cutoff, or at the Steep Rocks, a
stand would be made, with almost q
certainty ofcutting off the entire force
sent against them."
