ing along all right. Some years ago farmer
living in little village bordering on Berks
county, furnished one ofhis three sons with
sum of money, and told him to go west and
remain two years, at the end of which tine
he should return to Lancaster, stop at Sch0-
fields, and one of them would be there to
meet them. The young man started on his
travels, and at the end of the specified time
he returned It should be promised that tel

"No, not single thing, said the other;
" everything is just the same as when you left
except that the old crow died. "
Indeed, said the wanderer and is the
old crow dead? What killed him? ,"
why, he ate too much meat when the

Mr.. Spinner, the treasurer of the United
States, has written a letter in which he says,
ifany one will advocate open reputation of
the public debt, lie will give the proposition
respectful consideration but he has "no
patience to read anything advocating the
sncaking cxpcd:cnt of paying the national
debt in deprecated currency" This marvel
ously honest man, whose signature forms so
interestinga a feature on the face of grcenbacls
treasury notes, and other evidences of public
debt, deals freely in such elegant cxplctves
as q fools, y" knaves," cheats" swindlers, -
applied to those who repudiate the repudia-
ton which he would adopt in contingency
not impossible, and would avert it altogether
by an adjustment fair and equitable both to
the payers and payees of the public debt.
Mr.. Spinncr's remarks are not good, and il
is to he hoped his morals are better, as he
sets himself up as n censor of those of other
people, who have had great deal less to do
in making this deprecated currency which
he so abhors himself, and who are compelled
to use it i'm their business operations. His
moral code requires the mass OF the people
to take species Of money which he thinks is
not good enough for bondholdcrs.
Mr.. Spinner has had n fat broth for some
that will spin him out one ofthese days.

John G. Churchill, the member from
the Oswego district of New York, whose
vote has changed the majority impeach-
ment report from an adverse one to one
favoring that measure, has suddenly be
come a man Of so much prominence that
everybody is eager to learn more about
him. Churchill to-day, in fact, over
shadows the great impeacher Ashley him
self, and IS quite as great lion rs Old
Thad, Ben Butler or any other member Of
the radical party in high standing.
Churchill is about 45 years of age, was
born in Clinton county, New York, but
went to Oswego in 1917, where he was ad-
mitted to the bar, and practiced for many
years. He became district attorney and
judge in his county. He was originally
whig, but shortly before the war joined
the republican party, with which he has
since acted. The Evenng Star of this
city thus alludes to the fame which Judge
Churchill has suddenly acquired:
" Mr.. Churchill, of the judiciary COM
mittee, walked up on Sunday morning to
find himself famous The rumor of
hundred tongues had it that this gentle
man, by change of base since July, had
jority report in favor of impeachment.

time being all the current names OF the

THADDEUS STEVENS.


EVANSVILLE, Ind, Nov. 10, 1867.
My DEAR SRI have just finished
reading in the Cincinnati Commercial
with care, attention and great pleasure
yo'.. ply to your ighbor, Guyger, in ref:
erence to the payment in ''legal tenders
of the principal of the twenty bonds,
and am very glad to find that our opinions
on that subject perfectly coincide. | voted
for the bill with perfect understanding
that, as the bill was silent on the subject
of the payment of gold for the principal,
that it was to be paid in government cur
rency while as to the interest of these
bonds, it was specially provided that gold
should be paid aud have always regret
ed, as | have told you frequently, that |
voted for it at all, believing as do that no
such distinction should be made, and that
all bonds Of the government should be
paid, principal and interest, in the curren-
cy of the government, which they had
declared should be illegal tender for all
debts, public or private, except in those
cases-the ten-forties-where express pro-
vision was made for the payment in gold,
both for principal and interest.
Irecollect very well, in conversation
with you, you told me "it was singular
anomaly that, in a government like ours,
emphatically government of the peo-
pie, our brave and gallant fellows who had
lost an arm or a leg, or perhaps both, in
the service, or the widows and orphans of
those who fell battling for their country,
should be paid in treasury notes, when
the bankers and milliona.res of Europe,
who had no sympathy for our cause, but
who had invested in our bonds at prOba-
bly, eighty cents to the dollar, should be
paid in gold" And you were right.
| do not believe the folly of those who
urging the argument of ''repudiation' in
case the bonds are not paid in gold, will
have strength enough at the close of the
next congress to carry them over the pons
os'norum. You may rely on it, the
Great West" irrespective of parties, are
solidly against paying gold on the princi
pal of these bonds, and it will be with
great reluctance and misgiving that they
will pay the interest in gold and l will
further say, that the party, whatever it
may be, which indorses such policy in
the presidential election next fall, will be
so far beaten that their own dogs will not
know them when they come from the polls.
| am sincerely glad to learn that your
nealth is 50 far restored as to enable you
tC attend the coming congress. You will.
nc doubt, have matters of deep interest
on which to consider Ny earnest desire
is that all may tend 10 the uaion, harmo-
NY and best interests Of the republic.
Very truly and sincerely yours,
JOHN LAW.

The army and navy estimates for the fiscal
year call for sl24,OO0,OOO. In ten years this
will amount so 81 $40 100000, or more than
ore-thirG the national debt
How supremely absurd the attempt to pay
the national debt and relieve the over taxed
people by any scheme whatever. when such
enormous sums are expended for nothing.
An army and navy now are nothing. They
are of less use to the country than the police

HEINITSH'S CELEBRATED
GERMAN HORSE POWDER
For all Diseases TO which a Horse is Liable.

TIME various diseases to which that no.
Il BILE and useful animal, the horse, is
subject, and the little knowledge that is
known of them by farriers and ignorant
ostlers, have Occasioned many remedies to
be offered to the public under different
forms, with high encomiums, and sane
toned by digniiied names. Some of these
are injurious; others, at best, of little use,
and many entirely worthless, and do not
meet the want. A good medicine, free
from objections Of this kind, has long been
desired by many gentlemen who have va
luable horses. We therefore offer the only
good mcdicinc-the true " q l. r. NJ 4 n
HORSE POWDER" which has proved so
eiiicacious in all the diseases. 1t is pre-
pared from the original recipe of Dir. Hci-
nitsh, of Germany. It's extraordinary vf-
tucs arc attcstcd to by thousands, and for
fifty years has stood, and still stands, first
in the estimation of all experienced farm
ers and agriculturists as the best medicine
for the horse. 1t is recommended for
horses foundered by eating to excess or
drinking cold water when heated, to such
| as have symptoms of glandcrs or are ex-
posed to the infection by being with other
horses, for Indigestion, distcmpcr, hide
bound, drowsiness, loss OF appetite, inward
sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, sore
eyes, swclled legs, grease. n,a'."e, surfeit,
old coughs, for exhaustion iin'n work. 1t
carries off all foul hmnni~ .irifics and
cools the blood, and pc r.,, l. :~rs be-
coming stiff and fOundorcU. 1t is IL stimu-
lus for weak stomachs, and renders the
limbs and skin soft and fine, giving O
