 The World is not unfrequently quoted as all cX- ponent of Conservative opinion. That it often maintains Democratic or Conservative sentiments, and that it affects to speak by authority, is quite true but that it is an orthodox exponent of Con- servative doctrine, we emphatically deny. Time and time again it has advanced propositions Ofen- sive to the convictions of the Conservative masses, and made admissions eagerly seized upon by the enemy, such as would have been conceded by no steadfast and loyal Conservative organ.

Da@ We hope to see the renomi- nation of Gen. Garfield of Ohio. The correspondent of the N. Y. Times gives the following facts concerning him:
 Shortly after last Falls election, Gen. Garfield, of the Nineteenth District, said to Senator Wade that the people of Ohio regretted to see a tempo " reverse have the effect of withdrawing him from public life, and that as his name had been mentioned in connection with Congress, he Gar feld,) would at once give way if Wade would con- sent to run in the Nineteenth District. Wade ex- pressed warm appreciation of the generous offer, but said nothing could induce him to accept it.. After Wades defeat at Chicago, Garfield renewed the offer and Wade again declined it. Garfield took bold financial position here, at time when everything seemed drifting to greenbacks and re- pudiation, and when our State Convention was en- couraging if not endorsing the heresy. He de- clared at the time that he supposed he was haz- arding his reelection by it, but that his convic- tions were clear, and he would take the responsi- bility. Since then the National Convention has gwen the most complete indorsement to his views next Fall"

AMONG ruE ANcIESrs.--A gentle
man in Nashville is in possession of a
very ancient coin, about the size Of an
American quarter dollar, bearing a
rather strange device on each side,
with Hebrew inscriptions round the
border. The Hebrew characters on
each side, when translated, read,
"Jorusalem," and "The Holy" On
the other side the inscriptions read
"lsrael, ,""Shekel.p A gentleman who
is thoroughly familiar with Jewish
history and the Hebrew language
says this ancient relic was coined
about twenty-five hundred years ago,
in Jerusalem, in the time Of the Mac
cabees, and about one hundred years
before the reign of lIerod.
