- We clip the following from the
Washington correspondence of the De-
troit Tribune :.
at is foolishly said by the palliators
and apologists of these seeding and
now returning democrats that the
Republicans have repealed their alli-
ance. Nothing could be more absurd
OF less true. We could not indorse
their paper faster than they issued it !;
we could not accept coalition that
was never offered us. The Republi-
cans were ready and most anxious to
receive into their embraces all genuine
dissentients from democracy, but they
required that they should at least prom
Use agreement and cooperation with
Republicans. They would gladly have
extended the right hand of fellowship
to even Douglas, obnoxious and but
half penitent as he was. They only
required that he should say decisiyely
and unequivocally that he had separa-
ted himself from. the Democratic party,
as Mr.. Banks did four years ago. But
we could not get Mr.. Douglas to say
that word. 1t was far worse. He kept
continually iterating the same startling
cry, 81 am a Democrat! | am the
best Democrat of them all. No man
shall read me out of the party" &c.
What did we want of the best Demo-
GRAFT of them all? Mr.. Douglas course
has been far less satisfactory than that
of Mr.. Stuart. But all of them have
agreed upon this one course, If the
Republicans wanted them they must
come to the democracy. We have
acted upon the safer maxim, that if any
Democrat wanted the support of Re
publicans he must become a Republi-
cam"

ANOTHER FACT FOR JUDGE TAME

ANOTHER FACT FOR JUDGE TANEY.
The N. Y. Post says, Judge fancy
in delivering the opinion of the United
States Supreme Court on the bred
Scott case. observed that at the time OF
the revolution and of the formation OF
the present federal government, black
men were universally regarded as having
no rights which white men were bound
to respect.
On the other hand, Bancroft, whose
historical Investigations have been far
more thorough, does not hesitate to
remark in his account of the Battle of
Bunker Hill, published since the an
nouncement of the bred Scott opinion,
as follows:
"Nor should history forget to record
that, as in the army at Cambridge, so
also in this gallant band, the free me-
groes of the colonies had their repre-
sentatives. For the right of free ne
groes to bear arms in the public defence
was, at that day, [l775, as little dis
puted in New England as their other
rights. They took their place not in a
separate corps, but in the ranks with
the white man, and their names may be
read on the pension rolls of the country
side by side with those of other soldiers
ofthe Revolution. "- Vol. VII, Chap.

A correspondent of one of the
Cleveland papers, who went up the
Lakes with the party sent out by the
Canadian Government to make explo-
rations and ascertain the resources of
the country so long monopolized. by
the Hudson Bay Company, explains
the objects of that party. The charter
of this Company expires in 1859, and
It is endeavoring to get renewal from
the British Government, by represent
ing the country to be unfit for the abodes
of civilization. The Home Govern
ment having offered the Canadian
Government jurisdiction over this ter
ritory, by paying the Hudson Bay
Company for its Improvement, Mr..
Hurd, with his party, was sent out to
make an estimate of the Improvements
and report upon the general character
of the country. Mr.. Hurd puts the
value of the improvements at one mil
lion dollars. He represents the country
as being very fertile, producing wheat,
oats and even Indian corn in abund-
ance. He says there are as many as
twenty thousand acres of fertile prairie
with a luxuriant growth of grass. If
their statements prove true, the great
monopoly of the Hudson Bay Company
must end Chicago Tribune.

EARLY WHEAT.-A Baltimore paper
says that a bundle of wheat stalks in

May s., and that the early wheat of the
South will be in market before the Ist
of June. There are now immense
quantities of wheat grown In all the
Southern States. Georgia, in particu-

In-4. NY Notes.-The new issue of
Treasury notes has been advertised by
the Assistant Treasurer in New York
to the extent Of So, 900, 900, bearing 3
per cent. interest, in denominations of
$1,000 to $500 and 800. The bid
ders deposit gold with the Treasurer,
and draw interest from date. The
notes will be ready by January 15.-
Some deposits have been already made.
The notes necessarily have the interest
payable at the maturity Of the note,
since it could not be paid sooner with
out fixing absolutely the day of pay
ment and affxing coupons, which would
make bonds of them at once.
1t has been suggested that this issue
would cause some disturbance in the
money market. In ordinary times,
when money is actively employed and
gold in bank reduced to its medium
amount, that might be the case; but at
this moment large amounts Of money
are unemployed, because Of dis;rust Of
credit and stagnation of business, while
the banks are overburdened with coin.
On the other hand, numbers of govern
ment creditors are borrowers until they
get their pay. The issue of notes,
therefore, calls capital from is hiding
place and puts it into circulation in
discharge Of debts. The direct effect
is, therefore, to ease the money mark
ct, and encourage the circulation >
capital. -Econo,.lst, I'd. -

The LAST ROCHESTER MYsrERY.-Suppo-
sing Mrs. Littles and her brother Ira Stout
to be the murderers Of Mr.. Titles, the mo-
tives which induced sister and brother
jointly to commit the murder are eagerly
sought. 1t was in testimony before the Cor
oner's jury that Mrs. Littles and her BROTH
er were improperly intimate, SO much so as
to convince the reader that they were GRIM
inally intimate. The following suspicion is
now current:
Stout, while living near Oswego, was sent
to the Pennsylvania PeDitentiary. 1t is
surmised that, previous to this, he had mar
ried the woman known as Mrs. Titles, and
now represented as his sister; that, wifi lie
her husband was in prison, this woman lived
in tile Stout family as a daughter, and as
such only was known to Titles and became
his wife. After Stout was released from
prison, he. of course, returned to his fami-
ly, found his wife again married, consented
to keep up the delusion with Titles, but
finally e. perhaps having got an inkling of
how things were) plotted his murder.
This theory is plausible, and furnishes a
motive for the murder and reason for the
offensive and indicate intimacy of the
'sbrother and sister,"

: sD%Mid the complaints against our
local currency, one thing should be
recollected-that but for it, we should
have been compelled to issue city scrip,
as nearly every other city in the State
is doing. This scrip, in the majority
Of cases, can scarcely be used at all in

We suppose our neighbors intend to
say that Florence has been much better
than city scrip. 1t certainly has not
been more avail5ng-whereas, scrip
would have been secured by all the real
estate in the city. But we do not be-
lieve that there would have been any ne
cessity for scrip; and, as for Florence,
if what we have now in circulation had
been dumped" in some other locality
some months since, we should be better
off for it. We couldn't well have had
anything worse, in our opinion.-Dav.
