large portion Of the district there has been no

fact that the positions of the candid ates upon

original policy of the conscript law, we unier-
stand to DC In favor Of carrying out the differ
ent measures adopted by Congress for prose-
uting the war and sustaining the currency.
Pers onal ana transient considerations seem to
have determined the vote Of most Of the elel-
tors
We mention this lest the result may be mis-
un derstood. The returns Indicate beyond a

Gen. Forest, who cOmmandedin person at

Thus admitting that gold is the proper
standard of value in money matters,
(which at present it is not, but has only a
speculative Valus, we see that although gold
be sixty per cent. premium, paper money
is only thirty-sight per cent. discount.
We offer these hints and suggestions
that those who read them may not be de-
ceived by the perverse lying Of Secession
editors and their deluded followers, who,
while they decry the currency Of their
oavn Government to the influence of whose
fostering care they owe their past prosper
ity and present protection, stand ever ready,
like Esau Of old, to sell their birth-right
for mess Of pottage, or, faithless as their
elder brother, Judas, seek to betray their
country, stabbed in the house Of its
friends and take their bribe therefor

hAEEEAg EeUIttaAJ p ASSN'
EMS. LEADER II see by late proceed
ings in Congress thebill making appropri-
ations for the support of West Point Acad-
envy was opposed by several Senators,
among whom was pleased tOsee the name
of cur stern Republican, Senator Wade.
For more thau twenty years have enter
tanned opinions about that truly aristoerat-
ic school similar to those asserted by Sen
ators on this occasion; and was greatly
reioiced to know that opposition to its sup
port By Government had been inaugurated )
and do hope the ball now set in motion
may roll on till every vestige of its char
acter. as a national institution, is swept
away. 1 have seen enough Of the bearings
of graduates from that school to convince
me that its teachings tended to building
up an aristocracy highly injurious to Re-
publican governments, and l trust not an
other appropriation will ever be made oy
Congress for its support.
The ill-natured fling at Mr.. Wade, oy the
Herald, in commenting on his vote against
the bill. shows its disposition for fault
finding Of whatever may be done by our
favorite Senator. Do the voters OF Cuya-
hoga county approve Of the anti Wade vote
of its representation OF Columbus?
trow not. Our Senator and Represents
tive from Trumbull fully expressed the
preference Of their constituents IN the
vote they cast for Mr.. Wadei wish
could say as much for your county.

Tbe Bankrupt Bill.

Next to the bill for providing ways and
means for the necessities of the Govern
nsut no bill before Congress has been of
more importance to business men than the
Bankrupt Bill. Its passage has been
ur9ed upon Congress time and again with
an the many arguments in its favor, but
there has been a singular and fatal OppOsi-
,,on manifested to it. On the Sd inst, the
hill was laid on the table in the House,
probably 10 lie there through the remainder
oftbis short session. In thus disposing Of
. measure so vital to thousands Of our
uost honest and valuable business
men. the House has done great wrong
"a the business interests of the country.
Such measure was needed to give renew
cd life and activity to trade and to restore
To active life many men who are now
struggling in the chains Of hopeless In
debtedness.- So short term remains
bsfare the adjournment of this Congress,
and 40 much is to be done in that time,
that there is but little hope Of this bill
being again taken up. Among those who
voted against this disposal of this imPor'
tant matter, we are gratifed to see the
name Of our member, Mr.. Riddle, who ha:
been a faithful and urgent friend Of the
measure from the beginning.

The Premiuu o. tield.


Afsnv persons have thoughtlessly fallen
iuto an error respecting the relative value
Of gold and our current paper money
This needs correction, especially as rebel
sympathizers and croakers are continually
harping upon the "ruinous depreciation
of paper money! The spectators in
Wall street have, by earnest and preserving
effort, finally succeeded in pushing gold
up in the stock market to some sixty per
cent. premium over legal tender notes.
and the daring spirit of speculation SO
rife in Eastern Money Markets, has ad-
vanced itstil further.
ThereupOn these white-livered "peaee
sneaks of the North, (Uid, Davis mes
sage publish broad cast over the land
that gold is sixty per cent. premium, and
that consequently paper money is at the
same discount, and only worth forty cents
on the dollar. At the first glance this as
| sertion seems correct to many. tits, new
ertheless, fanacy. 1t is totally false, and
these aiders and abettors Of treason are
either shamefully ignorant, or maliciOusly
given to lying in their statements. We
think they have sprinkling Of both in
frmities in their constitutions"
Admitting that gold is sixty per cent
premium, it does not, by any means, follow
that paper money is at sixty per cent. dis
count. A moments consideration viii
show this. For, ifPaper money is at sixty
per cent. discount, or, in other words, il
worth only forty cents on the dollar, ther
one hundred dollars of paper money viii
purchase only forty dollars gold. Is tina
all that it will buy2 Certainly not. Coll
being worth sixty per cent. premium, tn
forty dollars will be worth only an advane
of sixty per cent. on itssLf-in other word
it will be worth just sirtyjour dollars il
paper money.
But according to the statement of MI
secesh this same forty dollars in gold j
worth 500 of paper,-whereas it is wort
only S64 Of paper money, allowing the
the highest premium claimed. Forty do
lars in gold will not be worth 500 in p'
per money, until the premium on gold ha
risen to 100 per cent.
To illustrate further. The principle IL
volved is the same as in the fOllOwin
transaction:
A has a hundred dollar horse. This hori
he sells to B for SL25. a has made twel
ty-fve per cent. premium. Afterwards,
sells the horse to for 800. B loses
,, this sale-h0w much? Only ti0enty p,
cent. But If A made, and lost, each Il
sane amount of twenty-five dollars, why
not their per cent the same Because th'
had different amounts INFESTED, upon whit
amounts the rate per cent. depended.
Discount ceases at one hundred per cen
for take one hundred from one hundr
and nOihing remains; but premium is u
: limited, and may increase to any concei
able amount Having given hint up
the subject, any who are disposed nj
carry it out further.
We add brief table, emitting Fraction
from which can readily be ascertained
? corresponding discount on paper eurrenc
, when gold is at given premium.

Slave CATCHING in lhe Kentucky ARM

Slave Catching in the Kentucky Army.
It is said that the delivering up OF tu-
gitives, which has been so common in the
army in Kentucky, is not the only method
Of waging war upon the negroes which
cur camps afford. The Louisville Journal
saws that a new traffic has sprung up in the
camps in the neighborhood of that city, by
which the sIave-huuter outside the lines,
(uo matter if he is not the real master, SO
lenq as he will swear 10 the ownership Of
the negro is in cOllusiOn with a slave
tAief inside, the latter catching the negro
victim and then selling him for a trihe to
the former, who personates the owner and
decamps WIN MS prize 10 some distant
market. 1t is hardly possible that any
sueh schemes should be carried out under
the eve of a vigilant officer; it is but nat
ural to suppose that the officers are in
hague with the perpetrators. Such being
the case, it is clearly the duty of the Gov
ment to make an inquiry to learn in whose
camps these things are done, that the Offend
srs may be brought to justice. The heav-
lest penalties should be visited upon them
for their slave-bunting, in direct violation
Of the requirements of the National Legis-
lsture. Let us have the names and dates
and then the dishonotable dismisssls.
