It was in use on the other side during the war,
and that il does not owe its origin so much to
defects of heart as Of head.
The Western theory about greenbacks is,
that as when the currency was being expanded
prices were rising, business was brisk, and
ever y body was thriving, and as when the pro
cess of contraction began prices began to fall
and trade to languish, plenty of greenbacks
must be all that is needed to put business in
a healthy condition, and make taxation seem
light. Here again the delusion is due to stop
ping short and not following out the doctrine
to its last limits in its practical working.
Western men are such great producers that
they are apt TO forget in toto that they are also
consumers. Moreover, they generally sell
their products in large quantities, and what
they gain by rise in prices being received in
a round sum, makes deep impres sion on their
imagination. The way in which a rise in
prices caused by an initiation of the currency
affects their outlay they do not so readily per-
ceive however, as their outlay is made in
small sums, and is extended over the whole
year. while their income is received in one or
two months. A small addition to the price of
the articles in daily use in household is not
noticed as the articles are bought, but the
amount at the end of the year would be a con-
siderable sum. Moreover, the ease with which
taxes are paid does not depend on the amount
of mans receipts; but on that of his expen-
diture, or, IN other words, on the sum ne mas
TO spare after providing for his own wants, and
this depends on prices in general and not on
the prices of the particular commodity which
he produces. There is little use OF pouring
splendid stream of water into a barrel if there
is hole in the bottom which lets out lst as
much as flows in, and yet this is what the
Western infatiunists obstinately refuse to be-
lieve. AS long as they do not see the hole in
the bottom they refuse to believe in its exist
ence, and propose to go on pumping cheer
fully, with the expectation of speedily filling
the barrel If any one can get five or six
Western Congressman of the infationist school
into room, and force them even by threats Of
personal violence to working out full account
of all the effects prices of large addition to
the currency, he will do the country some
service, as it is process through which, we
venture to say, few if any of them have ever
gone.

has oftentimes been shocked with exhibitions
Of gross indeoOrum on the floors OF what ought
to be the most gentlemanly debating society
in the world. During the last session, great
many ugly things were said, by members of
the same political party, against their rivals.
During the coming session, we hope that an
these sharp words will be husbanded into one
thunderbolt, which, at the proper time, shall
fall upon Andrew Johnson, and smite him
from the Presidential chair.
Religious persecution cannot be said to exist
in this country. Yet we notice disposition,
in many quarters, to array Protestant aud
Catholic against each other in something OF
the style OF the middle ages-exoept that the
Protestants are to be the prosecutors, and
Catholics are to be the victims. We tre-
quently receive urgent requests-and from
some of the best of the people-to make our
columns bristle with bayOnets pointed against
the Catholics of this country. No; we shall
do no such thing. If the doctrine of tolera-
tion has any meaning at all, it means that
Protestants must tolerate Catholics, just as
Catholics must tolerate Protestants. If there
is any one thing more offensive than Roman
Catholic views it is the persecution of Roman
Catholics for holding such views. A nation
that tolerates Mormonism cannot refuse to
tolerate Roman Catholicism.
On the whole, whether with reference to the
social, the political, or the religious questions
now under discussion in this country, we have
such faith in the power and victory of the
views which the Independent teaches that we
shall continue to teach them, as heretofore by
simple statement, rather than by editorial con
troversies with journals which propagate the
opposite opinions. Such a method, if followed
by political parties, would render political dis
cussion less bitter and more profitable. Such
a method if more generally adopted by differ
ing religious sects, would render the Christian
Church a more pleasing spectacle to a critical
world. Such a method, we are happy to be-
lieve, is gradually coming more and more into
common use. The apostle described it when
he said, Speaking the truth in love-" If the
tion and the lamb are to lie down together,
then why not Democrat and Republican? and
why not Catholic and Protestant Or must
we believe the later and uninspired prophets
who predict that this will never come to pass,
except when the lamb shall lie down inside the
lion

An ALExANDRIAN IN LYNCuBURG.-Th
Lynchburg Republican, OF yesterday, contains
the following account Of a visit Of 4 citizen of
Alexandria, to the Getty of the Hills. y
"A distinguished gentleman Of Alexandria,
who came to the city yesterday on tour OF
observation, walked around so extensively and
ndustrlously, admiring the beauties of art and
nature, that his steps became somewhat UNI
steady and his language slightly incoherent.
IN this condition of rapture, he was taken up
oy the police, and though he protested against
the lndignity in very elegant and vigorous
language, the outrage was actually carried so
lar, that the distinguished individual was put
ID the cage. From the windows of this iDsti-
luton, he delivered one of the most beautiful
and eloquent harangues on things in general
mat We ever had the privilege Of hearing in all
Uur lite: His peroration was delivered IN
uaq and sonorous voice, and evinced the effects

imaginative temperament

NARROW EscApE-On Wednesday evening
DR.. j. A. Richie, accompanied by Miss Slaugh-
ter, Of Fredericksburg, Va, undertook a trip
from Georgetown to Arlington. After crossing
the ferry, instead Of driving through the cul-
vert they proceeded on until they reached the
top of the enbankment There finding him
self obstructed by the removal Of the bridge
over the Alexandria canal at that point, the
DR.. endeavored to back his steed, and in so do
ing both horse and buggy were precipitated in
to the canal, distance Of ten feet. The lady
was rescued Just at the moment OF descent, into
the abyss of mud, through the doctors ener-
getic movements Nothing daunted take me
to Arlington, she exclaimed, IF it is only on
one wheelp' At the word the doctor resumed
the rens, Notwithstanding the protestations OF
the crowd that had then gathered, and plunged
through the mud, up the preciptous bank on
the opposite side, and reached terra frma in
safety, and with one shaft broken in twain
drove on to Arlington and accomplished the
visit so ardently desired by the lady.
