Will the winter before us be hard one
or mild one? The wisdom of the musk
rat has been consulted, and it answers by
building its house in an exposed situation,
which signifies that the weather is not
going to be as cold as it might be. We
have had no Indian Summer to speak of,
and according to the new theory the heat
which should come out of the earth during
that blissful period of the year is still in it,
and by escaping gradually will make the
winter open and mild. We hope it will.
A long stretch of cold weather isn't pleas
ant But all signs may fail; so we had
better look for the worst while hoping for
the better. 1t will be well, too, to turn
our thoughts in upon ourselves, and ascer-
tain whether we have provided good
stock of mental food, or whether the ex-
isting means of public and private amuse-
ment will keep us in good humor with
ourselves and each other. The members
of society owe to each other thousand
acts of kindness, and little debts 1--WE don't
allude to money, though its always well
enough to think of that, tooD which are
by neighborly visits, by ming
ling together at public festivities, and by
promoting means of mutual entertain
ment. Al other seasons cut out enough
work in our various pursuits to keep us
busy every hour; but tie winter days are
short in order that we may have long
evenings to ourselves.

SPECIE PAYMENT.

We are glad to notice that the majority
in Congress do not sympathize With the
intense desire of the Secretary of the
Treasury to return speedily to specie pay
ments. There are now three hundred and
eighty-five millions of the legal tender
United States notes in circulation. These
are being withdrawn at the disastrous
speed of over seventy millions wear.
The national currency has to be redeem
ell in these legal tenders. If they are
withdrawn, is it probable that the national
banks will have SO managed their circula-
tion that they will be able to redeem in
',oin all their outstanding issues is it not
more likely that they viii, with few ex-
ceptionss go on increasing their circulation
uatil the last moment and then collapse
If the legal tenders were withdrawn, very
few national banks would be able to re-
deem their issues in coin. We can never
return absolutely to specie. There is not
enough to answer one-quarter The demands
of commerce. Legal tender notes, re-
deemable in specie, are the security for
national bank notes. AS long, therefore,
as the amount of legal tenders exceeds the
amount of bank currency, the latter will
form safe, convenient and ample circu-
lating medium. We don't believe in
contracting the currency much below its
present volume. We can keep ahoat with
advantage to business three hundred
millions of legal tenders and two-thirds
that amount of national bank currency.
Why would it not be our best policy to
abandon entirely the idea of paying off
our national debtl Reduce it measure
bly,, and fund it, paying only the interest.
Reduce taxation, and increase the tariff
on importstions of manufactured articles.

The Chicago Tribune. We wish to call
the attention of our readers to the Chicago
Tribune, prospectus of which has been pub
lished in our columns. 1t is pre-emnently the
best newspaper in the west, and has for twen-
ty-onc years had recognized place in the great
North West, as the leading organ and exponent
of the great, patriotic, and loyal party of the
country. Its editorial department is conducted
with marked ability and vigOr, and its home
thrusts at wrong in high and low places have
been felt by the enemies of progress and reform.
1t publishes more telegraphic news better mar
ket reports, more interesting news and great
er variety of reliable and useful information
than is found in the columns of our best East
ern dailies, and no western merchant banker,
farmer or mechanic can study his own inter-
est and do without it.

| The Great Crosby Opera House Scheme
As the public are already aware from the card
of the committee, the drawing of premiums in
the Crosby Art Union Association will posi-.
lively take place on the 21st of January next,
on which day will finally he settled the much
discussed question of ''Who is to draw the
Opera House?" So far as the public is concern
| ed, the enterprise is a success-the sales have
realized the value of the property, arrange
ments for the conveyance of the Opera House
and lot and the distribution of the paintings
and other premiums have been concluded, and
the matter is practically in the hands of the
committee. No similar scheme was ever or
| ganized in America on so grand scale and
none ever occasioned 1.-THE of the interest
| throughout the entire country. Its successful
accomplishment is, therefore, matter of great
satisfaction. In case there should be any lin
gering doubts in the minds of any as to the
perfect good faith and impartiality with which
the drawing will be conducted, we may state
our belief that no intelligent person in Chicago
doubts that.the interests of every ticket holder
will be carefully guarded, or that the distribu-
tion will take place with perfect fairness; the
position and standing of the gentlemen who
have the management of the drawing are suf-
ficient guarantee Of this. They are, moreover,
adding to their number gentlemen as we'll
known from other cities that the entire country
may be represented in the committee Mr.
Crosby himself will have no more control over
the drawing than any holder of single ticket
in the scheme. 1t is proper, however, that, in
the interest and qualification excited by the ap-
proach of the drawing, we do not entirely lose
sight of the object of the scheme, which is to
dispose of his magnificent Opera House so as to
realize its trst cost To accomplish this, it is
requisite that all the certificates should be sod.
1t has taken more time to conduct the enter
prise than was expected; it has been advertised
with unparalleled liberality, and all the expen-
ses have largely exceeded the original estimates.
1t will, thereore, readily be seen that Mr. Cros-
by's prospects of realizing any advantages from
this vast undertaking depend upon the remain
ing certificates being disposed of at the earliest
daY possible.
Let Mr.. Orosby's expenses, which have been
so heavy, cease now that he may realize some
thing like fair valuation for his property.
There are thousands who intend purchasing
before the drawing takes place, and ii can make
no possible difference to them whether they
buy this week OF four weeks hence, but, if they
,oiN all buy no,o, the expense which will in con-
sequence be saved will materially aid in secur-
ing surplus. Mr.. W. L. BUTMAN is agent for
the sale of certificates in Fremont.

The Toledo commercial.-Th;s ma

The Toledo Commercial.-This paper ap-
pears in new type complete, and presents a
handsome appearance. Politically, its Repub-
lcanism is now of the right stripe, and we trust
it has got bravely over the blindness which af-
fected it in the last campaign. The conductors of
the Commercial are among the most experienced
journalists in the country, and their selection
of miscellaneous matter and arrangement of the
news display taste, care and judgment, while
the editorials evince thought and something
more than a superficial knowledge of the SUBJ
ects treated Of and the style is perspicuous.
The improvement noted in the paper is an ev-
idence of its substantial prosperity, and we
know of no reason why It should not attain, if
it has not already, an extensive circulation.

Western Missouri, from time immemoraI
has been the scene of more or less turbulence.
A skirmish there is nothing novel The latest
one occurred at Lexington, which is not far
from Kansas City. Dispatches from Jefferson
City say bushwhackers went into Lexington in
force last Friday, under command of Pool and
Clemens. Col. Montgomery demanded the sur
render of Clemens, and upon his refusal, fight
ensued in which Clemens was killed and other
bushwhackers were badly wounded. Colonel
Montgomery has arrested several of the most
prominent secessionists, and holds them as hos
tages for the safety of loyal citizens.

PURSUIT OF JOHN MORGAN.

You have not forgotten that
next brilliant chapter in our history-the pur.
suit and capture of John Morgan. The events
Of that unparalleled march, reaching through
three States, occupying twenty seven days
and extending over eleven hundred miles, are
fresh in the minds of every participant, and 1
need not even sketch them. You well remem-
ber Norgan's strategy in crossing the Ohio
river. the blackened ruins he left in his rear,
and the exhausted steeds he kindly left in the
place of fresh ones; you remember the enthusi-
astc receptions our column received in the
towns of Indiana, the smiles and handkerchiefs
of women, the blessings of old men. You will
never forget the focks of Indiana mounted
militia that rallied to our standard, with squir-
rel-rifes on their shoulders, cow-horns at their
sides, raw hides in their lands and vengeance in
their eyes. They swore by all the saints in the
calander that they would never abandon the
track of Morgan until that gentleman and his
gang were hung to an entire forest of sour-ap-
Die trees They back out? They were in for
the campaign and nothing should swerve them
from their grim determination to te in at the
DEATH Towards night these unseasoned war;
riors would fall out one by one for the column
to pass, and TO the tantalizing questions of our
troopers each had plausible reply. One was
going home because his mare was lame-anoth
er because he d forgotten his bullet moulds,-
one because he n: ust do his chores and another
because he had the "rheumatics" and couldn't
sleep outdoors. But there were exceptions to
this rule, and l remember one tall Hoosier who
held out till tie third day, and when at last he
succumbed, on account of a slight misupder-
standing between himself and his saddle, he
triumphantly declared, while the light of mar
tisl ardor cleaned in his eye, that he had been
out three days aud hadn't slept in bed for the
tohole tine.'
