the value of its legal tender curren-
cy by the increase of the volume
thereof. 1t might rs well, after con-
tracing to pay the 10 40 bonds in
gold, reduce the gold dollar to one
fourth its present weight, and call
that fourth Of dollar a dollar, and
pay off this debt with this reduced
coin, as to issue an additional vol
ume of legal tender notes, and pro-
duce the same results as to them by
depreciating their value to one
fourth what they are, and pay of
the 5-2O bonds in this currency, the
value of which it has thus arbitrari-
~ destroyed
Let us, then, contemplate the eff
feet of increasing the volume of
greenbacks. There are 100000
(sixteen hundred million dollars) OF
500 bonds payable in this currency.
Sad experience has taught us that
the paper money of the Government
will deprsciate sad experience has
taught us that the prices of all mer-
chantable commodities will enhance
in like proportion. All values adapt
themselves to this depreciation OF
currency. Gold ceases to be the
measure of value. When we speak
of a dollar we mean a paper dollar,
and if that dollar be worth but ten
cents in gold, the prices of all arti-
cles will increase ten fold. If the
value of the paper dollar is depreci
ated but one half, the value of mer-
chantable articles will become dou-
BILE. With 100000, 900 -four hun
dred million dollars J of gal tenders
in circulation, their value has settled
down to about seventy cents on the
dollar. Issue S1,600,00O,0O0 (six-
teen hundred million dollars more,
and their value would settle down
to ten or twenty cents on the dollar.
What is the effect? Every article
of merchandise would go up in the
scale of value accordingly. What
we purchase now with single green
back dollar, would then cost two,
three, -four or five greenback dollars,
according to the degree of depreci-
alton. Such has been the expert
ence Of this country. Such has been
the experience of every other com
mercial country of the world.

herself by the issue of unlimited

ruptcy, calamity. catastrophe and
misery followed in it's wake
Attempt like experiment in
America, and shall we expect a diff.
ferent result from that which over
took France? The Bankruptcy Of
our people would be feeble term
in which to express the consequen-
ces. Untold misery and suffering
must come. Why? These bonds

will be interested in finding for them
some lucrative Investment elsewhere
They will not de2reciate in day

The Democracy are cndeavoring
to figure up for themselves vic
tory in Maine. We imagine they
will have nice time in making any
body but fools see anything in that
election favorable to them. Now
which is the true standard of judg
ing of the tendency of public senti
ment in Maine? Why the election
of last year, Of course, as the same
men were the contestants then. The
Republican majority then was lit
tie over II, 900. This year it is 90
900, a glorious Republican gain OF
nearly 5000. The contest last yeal
was merely local; this year it was
one fought upon national issues.
This effort of the Democracy to
figure a victory out of a terrific dis
aster, only exhibits the desperate
condition of the party. The Dem
ocratic party has the consumption
in its worst form, and while the
death rattle is in its throat, affects
to make itself believe that it is re-
covering. Your doom is sealed, your
coffin is made, Vermont and Maine
have announced your fate. Down
you go to the regions of Boet:
your favorite offspring, and merited
habitation.

Fifty Republicans Killed and

ATLANTA. Ga. Sent. 81

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 81.
Saturday last, Col. Pearce, Re
publican candidate for Congress in
the Second District, and Capt. Muir
ply, Republican Presidential Elec
tor, went to Camilla, Mitchell coun
ty, in the south western part of the
State, to speak at a public meeting,
previously announced When near
the town they were met by rebel,
mounted and armed, who warned
them not to go into town. They
went on. and were soon met by the
Sheriff of the county, who stated
that the people would not allow a
Radical to speak in Camilla. They
persisted, however, and on reaching
the Court House, they and their
friends were assaulted by the mob.
Col. Pierce was dangerously shot,
Capt. Murphy is badly hurt, and
many more of the Republicans were
killed and wounded.
A large majority of Republicans
were colored men, who, obedient to
Gov. Bullock's proclamation, of the
14th inst, were not armed. They
were of course beaten and shot down
by the Seymour Democracy, almost
without any resistance. Official re-
ports place the number Of killed
and wounded at fifty, among whom
is colored woman and her infant

The New York Post Of the 18th
inst, a very conservative paper,
concludes an editorial on the prob
able result and influence Of the
Maine election as follows:
'sOn the whole it is fair to say that
if the Democrats can keep down the
Republican majority to the figures of
last year, they may find some en-
couragement to struggle at the Oc-
tober elections, although with the
odds greatly against them: while
any decided gain for them over that
vote would give them substantial
hope Of success. But if the Repub-
lican majority is largely increased,
it will destroy all prospect Of resist
ing the enthusiasm for Grant in the
Northern States.
"Our private information lead US
to expect decided Republican gain,
and the reelection of Gov. Cham
berlain by majority of no less than
10000. Should this be the result,
the struggle Of the Democrats for
the electoral vote will be practically
at an end in twenty-seven or eight
Of the States, for all purposes but
that Of maintaining the party organ

A PREDICTIoN.-As early as i,

A PRED1cTIoN.-As early as in
the summer of 1862, General M. D.
Leggett, of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, in a
letter to a friend made the follow
ing prediction in regard to our great
captain, Gen. Grant.
"The whole story Of Grant s
drunkenness at Shiloh is mere 'bosh,
and it is burning shame that SO
many of our friends at home are
giving credence to the report. Grant
is by far the best General in our
army If the war lasts three years
he will be at the head of all our az
mics, and if our arms are finally sue
cessful he will be at the head of the
nation. Mark my prediction. His
administrative and executive abili-
ties are wonderful, and fast being ac-
knowledged by our most intelligent
officers and men,"

The recent action of the rebels in
the Georgia Legislature has thrown
into the field twenty-five thorough

ocratic sophistry

Governor Cox, Job E. Stevenson

Electors, remember that a vote
for Grant is vote for peace, nation
al security, prosperity, economy and
justice. A vote for Seymour is q
vote for civil war, corruption, repu-
diation, disgrace, dishonor and ma
tional ruin. The former is the ad.
vocate of freedom, economy, ma
tional integrity, and all that is no
BILE. The latter, the friend of rioters,
thieves, villains, murderers, rebels
and traitors. The former met and
vanquished the enemies of our coun
try, while the latter secretly aided
them in their nefarious work. Re.

This great victory shows that the

elect Grant and Colfax. They want
Uuion and Peace, and they know
that these can be secured only by
the defeat of Seymour and Blair,
and the rejection of the Democratic
platform.

held in the States Of Ohio, Indiana

from these States are in the highest
degree encouraging; and we have
no doubt the October elections will
echo Mains embhatic Endorsement
Of Grant, and demonstrate anew the
vitality and power of Republican
principles.

without such reservation OF power.
These were Democratic laws. These
were times of profound peace; there
was no reason why the power should
not be reserved. The principle of
taxation was then rs sacred and fun
tainental hs It is now. The Repub-
licans during the rebellion simply
followed the Democratic precedents
set by Madison, jackson, Polk and
buchanan and authorized the issue
of bonds without reserving such
power. Why, then, shall it be charg-
ed as acrime upon Republicanism
for following the Democratic prece-
dents of half century. There were
reasons existing why the power
should not be reserved during the
rebellion. The exigencies and en-
ergencies of tho country were such
that il must have money. 1t must
resort to every measure, to every
cXpedient possible to raise money.
Its credit must be maintained its
soldiers must be fed and clothed /;
their, families must be supported !;
the munitions and sinews of war
must be provided; the rebellion
must be crushed.
In what condition would the cred
it OF the nation have benin what
condition would the credit of its
bonds have been, if the power to tax
them had been granted to Kentucky,
t0 NTorv1op1 opI Now TnrCoxr opJ
the other States whose authorities
were hostile to the principles of CO.
ercion? BY the imposition Of an
enormous tax, the credit Of our
bonds would have been so effectual-
" destroyed as to render their sale
in market an impossibility. We
could have raised no money upon
them. The capitalist would not have
invested in them; our soldiers must
have gone unpaid and unclothed;
the munitions of war must have re-
manned unprovided; the rebellion
must have triumphed; the Union
and the Constitution must have per-
ished. We did in war and in the
emergency of war precisely what the
Democracy did in the time of peace,
and shall it then be set down to Re-
publicanism as crime, because it
did what the necessities of the coun-
try required of it, when the Demo-
cracy did the same thing, although
the necessities of the country did
not require it?
