DANGEROUS POWER OF THE NATIONAL BANKS
Fifteen hundred or two thousand national
banks, issuing all, or nearly all, the currency.
and controlling the moneyed power Of the
republic, will place the people, the govern
ment and the whole industry Of the nation Of
their mercy. The old National Bank was .
pigmy beside this monster. It viii have il
grip upon the agriculture, manufactures and
trade of the country, and Its thousands Of direc-
tors and others interested will be able to fore
stall the markets, regulate the prices to suit
their own speculations, and destroy everybody
or everything that should raise its head against
them. Such Is tho prospect before Us, unless
Congress take some steps to put this dangerous
monopolizing institution out of existence. II
that body can raise itself to the magnitude a
the subject 1t will begin at once to reduce ths
banks, to substitute government money for
their circulation, and, finally, to break them up
altogether.

TRIAL. or JEFF. DAVIS AND TIE OTHln
RsBEIs.-Rumor from Washington says that
one Of the objects in calling Generals Grant,
Sherman, Meade and other high military ON
GERS to that city just now Is to form court
martial from them to try JeG Davis and the
other rebels held as prisoners for treason and
other crimea In view Of all the difficulties
which appear to surround tho case this may be
the shortest and easiest way 70 solve the pro-
blem. If these rebels are to be tried by court
martial, our leading generals, whoput down the
rebellion, are the very men to be the Judges.
No one will doubt their capacity, honesty, or
the justice of their decision. The people every
where would have tho utmost confidence In
such q court, and our character abroad for
doing justice would be vindicated. The ac-
cused themselves could hardly object to being
tried by such men as Grant, Sherman, Sheri-
dan and Meade. The prisoners would proba-
bly, be convicted; and in that case we would
recommend the President to show how mag
unanimous great country can be by remitting
the extreme penalty of the law and banishing
them from the country. Let them be sent to
Sonora, or other parts Of Mexico, to join Ike
Fowler, Bradford, Magruder, Price and other
absconding criminals of the secessionist and
copperhead faith. This is decidedly the sim
plest anu best mode Of disposing Of these men
and their troublesome case; and, II necessary.
we will head petition to have 1t done.

New Definitions.

Nothing can exceed the tenacity with
which the Mongralists hold ON to the
word "Union," and nothing is moro re-
markable than the meaning now attached
by them to the term.
"a Union man." now means person in
favor Of negro voting, negro amalgama-
tion, in fact, in favor of forcing on the
people of the South just such a Constitu-
tion as old John Brown and his gang OF
blacks and whites got up in Canada. ga
Unionist" now indicates white man, ne
gro and mulatto. To be 'loyal' is to
acknowledge that Sambo has the same
rights as white men in every respect, and
must be admitted to all social as well as
political privileges. just now, Mongrel
papers groan with alledged outrages upon
''the Unionists" of the Southern States.-
Who are those "Unionists?" Men so de-
based that they desire to herd with ne
groes-whose hate against their own white
brethren is 50 intense that they are willing
to degrade their blood and the blood Of
their children, in order to gain political
power and revenge themselves on their
neighbors. If it is possible to conceive of
baser villains than Jack Hamilton, Parson
Brownlow, Durant, Michael Hahn, et I'd
omns genus, a man must be blest with q
greater imagination than has ever fallen
to the lot of any poet or novelist of an
cient or modern times. And it is these men
who are paraded as "the suffering Union
lists" of the South-as the greatest patriots
and purest martyrs the world ever saw
Madam Roland exclaimed, "Liherty! how
many crimes are committed in thy name !"
We may well say, "Union Union! how
damnable are the villanies which have
been committed in thy nam!" Let it be
remembered when Mongrel paper speaks
Of q ''Union man." it means that he is for
negro suffrage aud negro equality in their
fullest sense. Conscious how unpopular
their. real sentiments are, the Mongrels veil
their cause under the popular cry of "Un-
ion." The only wonder is that single
person in all this wide land should be so
stupid as to be deceived by them, T

Black-and-Tan at Philadelphia.

tiNuSllNh OOuSldo IOlu Iu6 DldCh-
guards-we do not use the term in
any offensive sense, but simply
mean those who have constituted
themselves the special guardians
of the blacks at Philadelphia, that
negroes had as good a right to vote
as the English, Irish and Dutch;
and the argument was applauded
as unanswerable. The thing was
well put by Frederick, and may
have been original with him, but
is not new. 1t was, for a cosidera-
BILE period, favorite way ofputting
the case, by one certainly, if not
more, of the Republican journals
of this city; and if it has not made
its appearance of late, the fact is
due partly perhaps to prudential
considerations-an unwillingness,
by lnvidious remarks, to ALLEVIATE
the fOreign-born voters among us
and partly to progress in senti-
ment to the point which would
admit that the negroes, have as
good right to vote as any body.
The intellectual state of the as.
semblage of persons who applaud
ed this saying of the colored orator
may be guessed at, from the fact
that they seemed to choose to be
instructed by negroes and women.
One white delegate from the South
volunteered a confession that the
negroes had passed around the hat
among themselves to raise the
means to pay his expenses, which
will afford a pretty good idea of the
style of men of which the body was
composed. Their knowledge of
and respect for the Constitution
may be seen in the fact that when
John M. Bolts declared that a forty
years. study of that instrumen. hal
led him to believe that it gave no
power to Congress to emf anchise
the negroes, he was answered by
Kisses. 1t is pretty evident that
the longer the Convention sat the
more negroy it grew. Considera-
lions of prudence gave way before
the growing enthusiasm. When
Mr.. Randolph, a mulatto from New
Orleans, rushed to the rostrum and
demanded in tones of impassioneG
eloquence suffrage for the negroes
in consideration of their labors and
their sacrifices in the war, the ex-
citement burst all bounds. Congo
and Saxon rushed to mutual en-
braces. Douglass and Dickinson
swapped hats; and the chances
seemed to be that the Juror would
hardly be gotten rid of without a
resort to those ceremonies which
used to be employed for similar
purpose by the Ana.baptists and
Adamites in Europe, the Vandoux
in Africa, and the Millerites-if all
that is said about them is true-in
the United States.

stood the other day in that
beautiIhf cemetery which over
looks the valley of the Kentucky
River 3and the capital of your

guished from. military-who had
died with their harness on. saw
the graves of the immortal dead
who had died in the Indian wars,
in the War of 1912, in the wal with
Mexico, and those who had died in
our late unhappy and wretched
civil strife. Old and young, all
bore testimony to the courage and
valor and heroism and loyalty OF
Kentucky. There they lay al
together, those who had died fifty
years ago and those who had died
this year. Confederates and Fed
erals lay side by side, their battles
over, their struggles past-there
they lay in the calm and silent re-
pose Of, common death. Their
spirits had ascended upon eternal
wings to perform in current har-
mony the duties assigned them by
the divine appointment of their
Almighty Maker. And why is it,
gentlemen, that we, the living,
feeling the necessity Of harmony,
must wait until a common death
shall seize us, and until it shall be
too late, before we agree to strike
hands together, bury our differen-
ces at the foot of our country's
alter, and swear that, by the Eter-
nal God to her, and to her alone,
we viii be, true forever, ~

The Radicals Speaking Plain--'The
Salt Of the Republican Party"
We extractthe following from the
New York Independent, of August
23, 1865, a leading Republican
organ: "..a
"The antidote to the Philadelphia
movement is to salt the Republican
party with the SAVIOR of impartial
justice. The first battle will be in
the coming elections to Congress.
Let no Republican be nominated
who is opposed to Equal Rights.
Nay, let no Republican be nomina-
ted who is not pledged beforehand
to stand or fall by Equal Rights.
We had towards enough in the last
Congress. God give us one winter
of brave men! No MAN SHALL BE
THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES WHO DOES NOT ASK THE
PERMISSION OF THE NEGRO"

ventiOn at Cleveland.

There will be a grand Soldiers
and Sailors Convention in the City
of Cleveland, ON the 18th of Sep
tember, the anniversary of the
adoption of the Constitution. This
Convention has been called by the
leading army officers in the coun-
try, such as Custer, McCook, Ros-
seau, Crook, Meredith, Ewing, Dix,
Steadman, Blair, Slocum, SickIes,
McClernand, Couch, and many
others we'll known to the country.
Its object is set forth in the follow
ing call.
CoMRADE TO COMRADE.
Believing that our Government
is again in peril, we appeal to you
who have fought to save it, and
who hold it dearer and more sa.
cred than all party ties, to come to
the rescue. Let the soldiers and
sailors agreeing with us in senti-
ment, but who cannot in person
attend send delegates through the
action Of their societies, or of local
conventions. Let us meet in force
at Cleveland on the 18th of Sep
tember-the anniversary Of the
day when the, Constitution was
proclaimed by our forefathers-
and let 'usaaid in restoring the
Unioni it created, and the liberties
it was ordained to secure.

Moore voted for Zollicoffer for
Speaker ofthe House, and inquiries,
"What is the use lying about it?"
Let the Standard answer its own
inquiry. At best, this like the
other matters urged against our
candidate is but a small affair, and
only shows the desperation to
which the Radicals are driven.
"Drowning men catch at straws."
But the charge itself is false, and We

have made it have honor enough

WHAT THEY EAT IN XENIA.-The
Fat Contributor gives the follow
ing experience of endeavoring to
get dinner at Xenia on the Little
Miami railroad:
"Twenty minutes for dinner"
shouted the brakesman as We ap-
proa ohed Xenia.
Arrived there, l entered the
dining room and inquired of a
waiter, .H.. .. ..-.
"What do you have for dinner?"
"Twenty minutes" was the hur-
ried reply.
l told him | would try half a
dozen minutes, raw, on the half
shell, just to see how they went.
Told him to make a minute off on
his books. He scratched his head,
trying to comprehend the order,
but finally gave it up and waited
upon some one else. H.. ...
l approached a man who stood
Dy tne door Win q roll OF money
in his hand. ..
"What do you have for dinner?"
"Half a dollar" said he.
l told him / would take half a
dollar well done. l asked him if
he couldn't send me, in addition,
boiled pocketbook stuffed with
greenbacks, and some seven-thir-
ties, garnished with postage
stamps and ten cent scrip. Also,
a Confederate bond, brown, with
lettuce alone (let us alone.) I
would like to wash my dinner
down with National Bank Notes,
on "draft." ..t........
He said they were out of every
thing but the bank notes, and he
then ordered a waiter to 60 to the
bank and "draw" some.
