SPECIE PAYMENT.

Greeley's Pet Project In q Nut
shell.
From the New York Tribune
All that is needed, In our view, is a
simple notice over the door Of the
Treasury: "The United States have
Resumed Specie Payment. Every
railroad, steamboat company, every
mortgage, bondholdor, or receiver OF
fixed income of any sort, would be
interested in sustaining the Govern
ment in this return to solvency. Every
holder of greenback in the Rocky
Mountains, or on the Pacific Slope,
would be likewise interested in sustain
ing q step which made his paper mon
ey worth at least it's face in coin. And,
if all the insolvent rickoty, kito-hying
interests were to combine to break the
Government and force it back into
non-redemption, We are confident that
they could not draw one hundred mil
lions of coin from the Treasury. The
spirit might be ever so willing, but the
flesh would be weaker than dishwatcr
We have had a good grain crop just
coming forward, and Europe is buying
it rapidly at high prices. We are ma
king enormous quantities of cheese,
and its consumption by the laboring
class, especially Of Great Britain, is
rapidly extending We hayca cotton
crop just coming forward, which even
at the present reduced prices, will bring
$10O, geo, 600 il Europe, after supply
ing our own wants. Our tobacco and
petroleum sell largely and rapidly
abroad. We might resume to-day,
withouta SHADOW Of peril. For, if the
paper mcn should draw one hundred
millions Of coin from the Treasury,
what would they do with til They
could not eat it, and would not be apt
to throw it into the sea. Europe could
not draw it from us because she need
our staples more and we have them to
send her. So, il the coin were drawn
ont, our debt would be reduced by SO
much, the outdoor demand for specie
would be glutted, and the holders would
soon be glad to bring it back to the
Treasury and take bonds for it. And,
even if they should prove able TO force
us back into susp ension, we should on
ly be where we are now, with our debt
considerably reduced, specie every
where y drug, and the discount on
grecnbacks almost annihilated.

The Alabama convention is slowly
pegging away, bat have resolved to ad-
journ sine die ON the 26th inst Among
the latest propositions on the subject
of suffrage, we note one extending the
right to vote "to all Confederate SOL
diers who have favored reconstruction
under the military bills, and to disfran-
elise all rebel editors who have oppos-
ed it, until 1876" Another is, that
"no person shall vote unless he will
take IN oath that on the 3rd of March,
1864, he preferred the government OF
the United States to the government oi
the SO called COnfederacy, and would
have abandoned its cause had he had
an opportunity to have done So"
Another proposition is. to pay the ne
groes at the rate sl0per month from
the issuance of the emancipation procla-
nation to the time they were actually
set free by the cessation Of hostilities

GARABALDI-Garaba!di, who is
again figuring SO conspicuously in Eu

ing been born in Nice, July /, 1906.
For more G!an thirty years he has beeA
engaged in revolutionary enterprises,
and in fighting by ses and land, being
sort Of an amphibious warrior, the son
of a mariner, and himself educated to
that profession, but is equally skillful
and experienced in the leadership Of
volunteer armies. His life has been
one OF the areat and varied adventure
in almost al parts Of the world-at
one time in Turkey, at another in South
America, and again in Italy. At one
period he was III the service of Urugu,-
ry, fighting gallaiitly for the republic,
chiefly at sen, though sometimes on
land. Afterwards we find him teach
ing mathematics i'll Montovidoo. Again
in l84S, he went from South Amori-
CO with portion Of the Italian Legion
to Piedmont, wh2.o IL rendered gal
liant, though lnlvAi.ins,, service against
the Austrians. III 13l0, when the
French expedition to restore the Pope
appeared before Rome, he greatly dis
tinguishad himself BY his heroism and
partial successes. Having been Danish.
ed from Sardinia, he came to New
Yorl<n 1850, and supported himsclfby
making candles in q manufactOrys on
Staten Island Afterwards he resum-
ed his vocation as mariner, and made
some voyages in the Pacific.
He afterwards returned to Nice, and
lived there in retirement until the war
with Austria, in 1859 when the Sardin-
ian government invited him to form q
corps, which became celebrated as the
"Hunters of the Alps" and his services
throughout the var were most impor-
tant.
The late events in Italy indicate that
the daring adyenturer has strong
hold on the imagiations of the people,
who, whether they approve his projects
or not, always admire man who will
fight for his ideas, and who does not,
like some other piottcrs Of revolution,
content himself with fomcnting distur
Dances, tho brunt Of which is to be
borne by other men. The generous
qualities ofGaribaldi, combined with
his daring courage and romantic career
have gained admiration for the individ.
ual among many who have no sympa-
thy with his cause. At tie same time
he often neutralizeg the ipilnence of
his personal popularity b. rash und in

Coon ADVICE FROM HORACE GREE

to young men is from lIorare Greeley.
1t deserves 10 be printed in letters OF
gold, and ought to be read, morning,
noon and night by every boy and girl
in the land:
Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, con-
tempt, suspicion, unjust reproach, arc
disagreeable. Bat debt is infinitely
worse than them all. Aud, if it pleas
cd God to spare either or all of my
sons to be the support, and solace Of
my declining years, the lesson which
| should have most earnestly sough
to impress upon them is Never ru,
into debt! Avoid pccuniary obliga
tions AS you would pestilencc or fam
inc. If you have but fifty cents, an'
can get no more for week, buy peel
of corn, parch it and live on it, rathe
than owe any man dollar.

A Coop \JoKE.-Many years ago,
when church organs first came in use,
worthy old clergyman was pastor OF
church where they had just purchas-
ed an organ. Not far from the church
was large town pasture, where q great
many cattle grazed, and among them q
large bull. One hot Sabbath, Mr., Bull
came up near the church grazing, and
lust as the Rev. Mr.. B. was in the midst
of his sermon--"boo wOo-woo' went
the bull.
The parson paused, looked up at the
singing seats, and, with o grave face,
said
81 would thank the musicians not to
tune their instruments during service; !;
it annoys me very much"
The people stared, and the minister
proceeded.
"Boo.woo. WOO" went the bull again,
as he drew little nearer the church.
The parson paused again, and ad-
dressed the choir:
81 really wish the singers would not
tune their instruments Whlle 1 am
preaching"
The congregation Uttered, for they
knew what the real cause of the distur-
bance wGs.
The old parson went on again, and
he had just about stated good when
"boo- woo WOO" came from MIR. Bull.
The minister paused once more and
exclaimed
~ have requested the musicians III
the gallery not to tune their instruments
during the scrmon. Inow particular
ly request Mr.. L---that he will not
tune his double bass organ while l am
prcaching.'
This was too much, L----got UP,

SONG OF THE DEMOCRACY,
ADDRESSED TO ANDREW JOHNSON.

We are coming, Andrew Johnson, Three
Hundred Thousand strong,
To save you from the clutches Of the Abo-
lition throng.
You've heard from Pennsylvania and from
California, too,
And Ohio has been speaking through her
ballot-box to you!
The sturdy men OF Iron, from the Furnace
and the Mine,
With the HOOsiers and the Buckeye boys
are wheeling into line,
They are marching to the music of the
Unionas of yOre,
And New York has followed after them,
Three Hundred Thousand more!
We are marching, Andrew johnson, to that
familiar tune
With which so oft in former years we've
scared the same old coon!
Once more from hill and valley, it rings
forth with cheering sound.
To gladden. every household where a loyal
heart is found.
See! Every star is blazoncd on the banner
we unfold,
For the Union that our johnson saved, our
Seymour will uphold!
To scatter all the Nations toes--thc Union
to restore,
We are coming, Andrew johnson, Three
Hundred Thousand more!
We are coming, Andrew Johnson, and as
We marchalong
Well relieve you from the "pressure" Of
the Abolition throng!
You told them that you could stand the
army of Impeachers,
The yelling tlends! the Buffers, Stcvens's
and Bcechers,
They wouldn't heed your vetoes or listen
to your plea.
They swore that White Men should be
slaves and Negroes should be free!
But you need not mind their rawlings now,
or tremble at their roar,
For we're coming, Andrew johnson, Three
Hundred Thousand more!
We are coming, Andrew johnson, so cast
away your fears,
It's the Democratic slogan" that Is ring
ing in their ears =
They pretend to call lis Traitors! But we
nOint thnm tO tha hlond
That soaks into Virginia's soil-that dyes
Potomac's flood
That stains the hills of Maryland, the plains
OfTenncssee!
Such "Traitors," Andrew johnson, this
Union loves to see!
It's q growing "Traitor' army that is
laundering at their door,
And New York swells its columns with
Three Hundred Thousand mOrel
We are coming, Andrew johnson, to vim
dicate the laws,
To hold the Starry banner up-to guard
the Nations cause!
Our motto is-"Thc White Mans Rights! ;"
for this we've battlcd long
For this we'll fight with sinewy arms, with
earnest hearts and strong
For this, we've burst Fort Warren's bars
and crumblcd Lafayette
For this we'll crush the Nations foes, and
save the Union yet
Thus speaks the North! Oh Andy. you'll
bless its mighty roar,
As New \ ork swells the chorus with Three
Hundred Thousand more!

An E,,itUr Sued.

Courier was sued the other day. BE
took it philosophically. Hear him:
"The dim recesses of our dark sane

bic Scott. Our hair stood on end as
with tears in his eyes lie proceeded to
read q very nicely printed blank on

with that of Justice KLEIN. TO cut

Were you ever sued reader? Yes Z

our ear and looked wise at the officer.
He trcmblcd little, for the idea of sue
ing an editor was new to him. lie
never imagined that anything could be

them for fun. Old ones, however, new

can get something, We never knew
anybody to get anything where there
wasn't anything TO be had. We hope
they'll get a judgement against us, then
we hope they'll take out an execution,
and lastly we beg they'll execute it.
If we've got any property we'd like to
know it. They might garnishec lot
of other fellows We owe around town.
We guess they will. II they are sharp
they'll commence on George Schneider.
We owe him for g glass ofbcer. If
they go. That it would help q little.
Failing in this We recommend them to
attack box ofsoiled paper collars we
have on hand. They haven't been
turned yet, and they might use the
clean side. If this won't do, we are
unable to help them.

A Pertinent EaqUiry--Are Negroes
L4ligiblo Tor Congress.

INislblo i0f Congress.
Under the famous Drcd Scott dccis-
ion the Supreme Court of the United
States decided that negroes were not
citizens within the meaning Of the Con
stitution. Whatever the popular sen
timcnt may be in regard to that decis
ion, it was never reversed, and remain
e., the law of the land, at least until the
proclamation emancipation issued by
President Lincoln, in September, 1862.
II that proclamation made negroes
citizens they attained their citizenship
at that time, The Constitution Of the
United States provides that no one shall
be eligible to the United States House
o! Representative until he has been Sc
ven years q citizen, or to the United
States Senate until he shall have been 9
citizen nine years. These facts may
dash the hopes Of some OF the ambi,

anticipated the honor OF representing
some of the Southern districts in the
next Congress. -New York Herald.

Official Vote Oh Negro Suffrage
in Ohio.

The Ohio Statesman, ofOct. 81, con-
tsins the following particulars of the
vote in Ohio in the negro suffrage
amendment:
We give elsewhere in to o-day's States
man, the vote in the different counties
of Ohio, at the late election, on the
amendment to the constitution giving
the negroes the right of suffrage.
The provisions of the constitution,
in relation to amendments, is peculiar.
No amendment can be cngratted on
thatinstrument withouta majority vote
of persons voting at the election. In
former attempts to amend, the silent
vote was much larger than the atllrma-
tive-thc vote against the proposed
amendment being but small, the voters
contcnting themselves with voting
down the proposition by a negative
vote.
At the recent election the case was
different. Negro suffrage was made an
issue, and but 12,276 voters cast all
their ballols for or against the propo-
sition. The result is that 4S4, ,603 votes
were cast, divided as follows:
