Declaration of Principles.

The Louisville JurRal, in the present
aspect of affairs makes the following con-
fossion Of the Democratic faith. 1t says:
1--WE heartily indorse. 50 far as vGh age
moeracy in the North, Middle, Western,
and North western States. We are for the
obliteration of the Freedman's Bureau Bill.
everywhere: we are for the cessation of
all military law, and for the restoration of
the great writ of freedom; we are for the
equal powers and rights and
privileges Of the whole people of the old
Union; we are for the unconditional par
don of all paroed ConfeIerates who have
kept their faith we are for the immediate
unlocking of the prison doors of all prison
ers held IN captivity upon the charge of
treason; and we are for the establishment
of the Republic upon the plan which our
noble President has recommended and is
exerting all his energies to carry out. If
to be in favor of all these things is to be a
Democrat, then we are a Democrat, an
earnest and jealous Democrat, all the time
a Democrat, and ready to co operate with
all who are ready to Cooperate with US. %

Ey The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Mercury, says that General
Logan, who was noted secessioist at the
beginning of the war, is running around
that city letting tongue run like an old
woman with the measles. He says he is
bound to mpeach the President. 1t was
only a short time since that this fellow was
ready to jump at the beck of Andrew
johnson. and he figured for a while around
the white House fawning and fattering for
the little crumbs that fell from the national
table. His apostasy was wondered at -
but he himself knows why he went over
to his hated enemies. Logan, it must be
remembered, was an arrant secessionist at
the breaking out of the war.

EVANSVILLE, August oth.
The Money market is very close, and the
demand for loans quite active. There is
no idle capital, and with the increased de-
Inana from millers and operators, who will
soon be in the market, we may expect
still greater scarcity of money. Indica-
tions are that money in the West, during
the Fail and Winter, will be scarce. The
market may be easy, temporarily, for bor-
rowing, but this can be of no long dura-
ton, and rates will be firmly maintained
at 10 to II per cent The complaints are
pretty general that money throughout the
country is very scarce, and our merchants
whose places of bushes have been until
lately so active, have now more leisure
than they have known for some years.
This, however, is but temporary and when
business revives they will all have enough
to do.
The market is pretty well supplied with
Exchange, and the demand is fully equal
to the supply. There is no change in the
rates. l-.
Gold closed at the New York morning
Board az 1875, being an advance over yes
terday's rate of one per cent. The buying
rate to-day by our bankers was 1451z.

ment securities, and we continue our quo

WI supposed the Philadelphia Conven-
ton was to be a meeting of the loyal men
Of the Union who favor MI. Johnson's
policy Of reorganization. For ourselves,
we can sec no earthly way Of restoring
this Union except on some such basis as
that proposed by the President. We be-
lieye the policy Of Stevens to be the mos.
destructive to true republicanism ever
preached In this country. But we favor
fighting for the complete restoration of the
Union on the loyal line. At present, we
can effect more by keeping those who
have been traitors from the front seats.
We cannot and will not participate in any
movement, whether eliminating in Phil.
adelphia or elsewhere, which looks 4 en-
Nthroning disloyal men, or permitting
them to control, in any degree, the legis-
lation OF the country. This, from the be-
ginning, has been u position, and to
this doctrine we steadily adhere. There
are enough thoroughly loyal men in the
Nation to control IL, without calling upon
its enemies for aid.-St. 10. Herald.
