/. The opposition are endeavoEing to ereste
the impression thatthe Democratic Legisla-
ture of Isst winter passed law requiring
the payment Of taxes to be made in gold and
silver. There is no such law in existence I;
but there is law requiring that all sums
under five dollars shall be paid out of the
treasury in specie, and gradually increasing
the sum until all shall be paid out in specie.
II the opposition wish any authority on this
method Of paying out, we will give them
quotation from Gov. Chase's last message !:
81 recommend provision of this nature,
and that hereafter all public moneys be re.
quired to be collected and dsbursed in specie,
or notes of specie paying bsnks Of this State,
and that no payment Be made from The Treas
ury of any sum under IsOenty dollars cEher'Otse
than in coin.
The law requiring the paying out of spe'
Gle from the County Treasury is to be found
in the Laws Of Ohio, passed at the session
of 1858, page 49, and is as follows.
SEC. IA. On and after the 4th day Of July,
1858, all payments out of every county
treasury of Eve dollars and under; and after
the 4th day Of July. 1859, all payments of
ten dollars and under; and after the 4th day
of July, 1860, all paymsnts of twenty dollars
and under; after the 4th day Of July, 1861,
ell payments OF thirty dollars and under; af-
ter The 4th day of July, 1869, all payments
of fifty dollars and under, and after the 4th
day Of July, 1868, all payments of one hun.
dred dollars and under; after the 4th day OF
July, 1864, all payments oftwo hundred dol
laas and under; and after the 4th day OF Ju-
ly, 1865, all payments whatever, shall be
made in specie only"
So much for the paying out of specie, and
we defy any republican to show us the law
for the paying in Of it.

the Atlantic telegraph Celebrn-
ti0n in New York.

New. YoRK, September 2-In the cele.
bFation procession yesterday, Cyrus w.
Field rode standing in an open barouche,
and was greeted throughout with waving
handkerchiefs and vociferous cheers. The
presentation speech to Mr.. Field made by
Mayor Tieman was neat and complimentary,
and was responded to by Mr.. Field as fol-
lows: Sir-This will be a memorable day
in my life, not only because it celebrates the
success Of an achievement with which my
name is connected, but because the honor
comes from the city Of my home, the metro.
poltan city Of the new world. see here
not only civic authorities and citizens at
large, but my own personal friends-men
with whom have Teen connected in busi-
ness and friendly intercourse for the greater
part Of Dy life. Five weeks ago this day
and hour was standing on the deck Of the
Niagara in mid-ocean, with the Gorgon and
Valorous in sight, awaiting for the Aga
memon. The day was cold and cheerless;
the air was misty, and the wind ronghed the
sea, and when thought of all that we hare
passed through, Of hopes thus far disappoint.
/ ed, of friends saddened by our reverses, of
the few that remained to sustain US, felt
| lo1d at my heart almost too heavy to bear,
though my confidence was firm and my de.
termination fixed. How different is the
scene now before me-this vast crowd tes.
tifying their sympathy and approval-rrais.
es without stint and friends without number,
! This occasion, sir, gives me.un opportunity
to express my thanks for the enthusiastic
reception have received, and | here make
my Acknowledgements before the vast con.
course OF my fellow-citizens. To the ladies',
| may add that, they have had their appro.
pirate place, for when the cable was laid
the first message that passed over it cams
from ne OF their own sex. This box, sir,
which have the honor to receive from your
hands, shall testify to me and my children
what my own city thinks of my acts. For
your kindness in presenting it in such fat.
tering terms, and for the kindness OF my fell
low citizens, ! return my most heartfelt
thanks.
The oration was delivered by David Dud.
ley Field, and was mastery performance,
elicitiUg repeated applause from the vast as.
semblage.
After services at the Palace, a torch. light
procession of the New York Fire Depart
ment took pllce 1t was magnificent dis.
play, and was fitting finale to the dly's
brilliant demonstrations:
Broadway was bl3ze of light from the
Battery 10 Union Park, all of the public
buildings, and large portion of private ones
being brilliantly illuminated, and many dis
playing magnificent devices. Transporter.
cies, Illuminated, lanterns, and fireworks
were displayed in abundance in all the pub

es to Cyrus w. Field, from the Mayors Of
nearly all the cities and towns in the Uni

A BuIIy COWcd.

On Friday last, at .Greenvil!e, Darke
county, Black Republican bully narrowly
escaped the point and edge Of piece .
tor. One Beers, soA Of the candidate O
the Black Republicans for Prosecuting At.
torney, took exception to an article in the
Darke County Democrat, which described
his father us going to finish the race com.
menced two years ago by. his son David,
who outrun his shirt and breeches. He
threatened to kill the editor. On Friday,
while the latter was sitting at the tavern,
Beers, Jr., entered. He approached Mr..
Miller and told him that he must either
take back what he had said in his paper, or
be killed. 1t is astounding that Miller
wouldn't comply with this reasonable re-
quest. He wouldn't take back, and he
wouldn't be killed but invited Beers to
leave the house. The latter assaulted him
with sling shot, upon which he rose to his
feet to put some hops into the small sour
beer that was cutting up these capers. Be.
fore he sould do SO the Landlord and young
man in his employ had but Beers out -
Beers then swore that he would kill Miller
when the latter came out. He attacked
him as he did SO, but at the first blow, Mil
Ter drew a knife and the small beer incon-
tinently cut and run at the sight Of it. Luck
lily for Beers he again out ran his shirt, for
if he had not he would certainly have been
tapped there and then. In the lunge with
the knife as he ran after him., Miller cut
through his coat, vest and shirt, but did not
hurt him. Strange to say the small beer
has not been seen upon the street since
We suppose it is thought best to keep it in
the cellar. .-StateSm1n

FATAL CAMPHENE ACCIDENTAL terrible
accident occurred ut this place Tuesday
night last from the explosion of a can of
camphene or burning fluid, resulting in the
death of Mary Edwards, domestic in the
employ of Mr.. B. Dickinson. As there was
no one in the room at the time but the de.
ceased, and her injuries were so serious and
the agonies she suffered so intense as to rem
der her incapable of giving an Ineligible
account of the occurrence, it ia not known
precisely how it happened-.but from the ap.
pearance of things in the room and the ma
ture of the explosion, it is supposed she was
engaged in filling the lamp, while it was
burning, from the can, the bottom of which
was blown out. She was of course instant.
ly enveloped in flames and terribly burned
over the entire body, excepting the waist,
where the tightness Of the clothing afforded
protection. The explosion occurred abou,
8 o'clock in the evening, and she died about
daylight the next morning. No damage re.
suited to the building, though the carpet on
the floor was burned, and other artitles o.
furniture slightly damaged.-Delaware co.,

SIR-The timely notice in your paper, OF
the Juvenile Concert, with the popularity Of
the leader. called out full house OIL the
evening OF the Sd inst, in our quiet village.
The pupils of the school in District No. 8,
numbering about 40, dressed in uniform,
were beautifully arranged upon stage in
front of large auditory of lovers Of music and
friends Of the school. Such lovely group
of happy faces was very pleasing and inter-
esting to every person present. The sing
ing was conducted in an admirable style, In
terspersed with select hymns, chants, Choir
ruses, glees, quartettes, Duets, solos, and
dialogues in singing. ..... ..
To particularize the performance would
occupy too much space, and we would only
say that the whole entertainment was rare
treat to US, highly creditable to each pupil,
and also to the instructor, Mr.. Stilson, who
we happily claim as our worthy Citizen
For the rich treat he gave US, he received
our hearty thanks. .-..e.t--,.. ,......
On motion, the following resolutions
were adopted: o-- ..>.. .a.
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Edin.
burg, highly appreciate the ability of Mr.
George B. Stilson as a successful instructor
in music, and would cheerfully recommend
him as worthy Of public patronage in teach
ing music. s8- IKE

We had the pleasure of meeting Govern
or Medary yesterday. This stalwart gen.
tleman has returned from his Western trip
in fine health and the best of spirits. The
Indians are now toerably quiet but not to
be relied upon. This yeor the buffalo came
right down to the Western settlements in
what will be Dacotah after it is organized.
We should suppose that the discovery Of the
gold mines on Frazer River, and the adop-
ton of the route through that section by the
Hudson's Bay Company's traders will add 10
the importance of that region. 1t will
doubtless be organized as territory at an
early day.-Stutesman, Aug. 3lst.

Benefits Of the b-Treasury Law

The people of Seneca county have al.
ready felt the advantage of the Sub b-Treasury
law. The Tiffin Advertiser talks thus on
the subject:
"Remember, tex payers Of Senecy county,
that the sub. Treasury law of last winter has
already saved you the round sum of $4 ,367,.
70, and bear in mind, that the Republican
Commissioners of Seneca county settled
with the late Treasurer for the sum of $5,-
434 81. when according to the report of the
sworn examiner, "there sDas then in his hands
the sum Of $9,S94 A." We are particular
in giving the figures as taken from the off.
cial report. Who says the measures of the
Democracy are not for the peoples interest.
