Thad. stevens Approves the Demo-
cratic Financial Scheme.

cratic Financial Scheme.
In the House, on the 18th, Mr..
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, declared
himself in favor Of O funding bill,
which should reduce interest. IF no
person chr to fund under it, no
harm Was " if any person did
choose to fund at q lower rate of in
terest, the then Government would
profit by it. He thought, however,
that the lowest rate of interest should
be four per cent. He did not think
they could get money cheaper. He
thought it the duty of the Govern
ment, with the ..ccumulating gold, to
expend one-half of it in redeeming
the five-twenties in advance of their
falling due; after they fall due, no
one could object to their redemp-
tion. He had understood the gentle
man from Illinois, (Mr. Ross to- say
that the bonds should be paid accord
ing to the New York platform. What
was that platform?
Mr.. Ross-To pay the five-twenties
in lawful money. fu..af $50 .h.t,.
Mr.. Stevens-What do you call
lawful money?
Mr.. Ross-Greenbacks. That is
your doctrine and mine, you know.
Laughter.) J aa.
Mr.. Stevens-I hold to the Chicago
platform, and as 1 understand it on
that point, to the New York plat
form, that those bonds shall be paid
just according to the original con-
tract.
A member-The law, Mr.. Stevens,
according to the law.
Mr.. Pilze-The spirit and letter of
the contract.
Mr.. Stevens-What was that law?
That the interest should be paid up
to certain time, Mt six per cent, in
coin. After the bonds fell due, they
would be payable in money, just as
the gentleman from Illinois Ross}
understood it; just as he (Mr. Ste
vens) understood it; just as all under
stood it when the law was enacted;
just as it was explained on the floor
dozen times, by the Chairman of
the Committee on Ways and Means.
If he knew that any party in the
country would go for paying in coin
that which was payable in money,
thus enhancing the debt one-half, if
he knew there was such platform
and such a determination on the part
of his own party, he would, with
Frank Blair and all, vote for the
other party. He would vote for no
such swindle on the taxpayers of
the country. He would vote for no
such speculation in favor of the large
bond-holders and millionaires. He
repeated, (thongh it was hard to say
it. that even if Frank Blair stood on
the platform of paying according to
the contract; and if the Republican
candidate stood on the platform of
paying bloated spectators twice the
amount agreed to be paid to them,
and of taxing his constituents to
death, he would vote for Frank Blair;
even if worse man than Seymour
was on the ticket, he added. Much
excitement and sensation.)
Mr.. Ross-The Democratic doors
are still open, and the gentleman can
be taken in.

EFFECTS OF THE HEAT IN New
YoRK.-A New York letter, dated
Thursday, says:
The altitude of the thermometer is
as great as ever, (90@95,) but the
heat is mercifully tempered by a
breeze from the Northwest. It is q
hot breeze, rs hot as if it had swept
over Sahara, but it is, nevertheless,
an agreeable relief from the suffocat-
ing atmosphere of the past few days
and nights.
Tho coroners report the mortality
resulting directly and indirectly from
the heat as frightful, to-day, as ever
-ninety-five cases and twenty five
deaths for the past twenty-four
hours. The total deaths from heat
in five days aggregate $50. Tho
Alorgue (dead-house) is crowded to
its utmost capacity with the dead and
dying. The collins, this morning,
were placed in tiers six or seven deep.
The time allowed to friends and
relatives for Identification is necessa-
rily very brief, as putrefaction speodi-
ly sets in. The place, at present, has
the appearance of huge lime-kiln in
full blast.
1t is next to impossible for the pen
to describe the distressing scenes
which are constantly witnessed at
this establishment. Sometimes per-
sons who come thither from morbid
curiosity are startled with the dis
covery of some friend or relative in
the embraces of death. Others, who
have missed sons, or brothers, or hus-
bands, are plunged into grief by the
information that bodies correspond
ing to their particular description
had to be sent off an hour or two
hours ago, to Potter's Field, as the
heat was too great to keep them
longer. The fatal cases to-day, it is
estimated, will be between thirty and
forty, swelling the aggregate for the
weok, thus far, to between 400 and
500.
Many of the laborers employed at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, in the
course OF the forenoon, were over
come by exhaustion, and the Super
intendent, towards noon, issued an
oioSA ouoPOduluS hil WOTh uuCll lur-
ther notice. He says he had either
to do that or convert his offices and
out-houses into hospitals.
Horses are dying by the score.
The Eighth Avenue Railroad Com
pany, this morning, lost four; the
Sixth Avenue Company, four; Tenth
Avenue, seven; Belt Line, eight;
with other lines in proportion. The
omnibus horses appear to suffer
most. In giving these animals
water, the greatest care has to be OBJ
served. Not unfrequently they drop
down dead as soon as their lips touch
the liquid; and this, too, in cases
where no fatigue or over-heating is
externally apparent.
The present month has, thus far,
been the hottest for many years.
The mean temperature of the first
week in July, 1868, was eighty-three,
and of the second week eighty-four
degrees. The mean temperature of
July, for the past twenty-five years,
has been seyenty-four. Thus far, it
will be seen the, temperature is nine
or ten degrees higher than the
average.

THE PATH TmRoUGm THE CORN.


Wavy and bright In the summer air
Like q quiet sea when the wind blows
And ia toughest breath has scarcely
The green highway to an unknown
SOFT whispers passing from shore 10
Like 4 Heart eontent-yet desiring more;
WANDERING thus on the path through the
corn?
A short space since, and the dead leaves
Corrapting under the hedgerow gray;
NO hum OF insect, nor voice of bird
Ger the deSoIate geld was ever heard;
Only al eve the paiftd snow
Biusbed rose red in the red sun-glow;
TIL one blest morn
Shot up into life the young green corn.
Small and feeble, slender and pale,
1t bent its head to the winter gale,
Harke ne1 wren's soft note or cheer,
Scarcely b9iieYtng spring was near;
saw chestnuts bud out, and champions
blow,
a daisies mimic the vanished snow,
ON either side Of the path through the
corn.
The corn-the corn the beautiful corn,
Rising wonderfully, morn by morn.
FIRST, scarce AS high as fairy's wand,
Then, Just In reach o a child's wee hand,
Then growing. growing-taLl green and
strong.
With the voice of the harvest In its song,
While in fond scorn
The ia o1t-oarols the murmuring corn
O strange, sweet path, formed day by day
How, When and wherefore-tongue can
no. say,
No more Of LIES strange paths we know
Whittier they lead US, and why we go,
Or whether our eyes snail ever see
The wheat in the ear, or the fruit on the
tree,
Yet-wno is foTlornP
Heaven, that watered the burrows, will
rlpen the corn.

Fourteen Reasons.

From the Monroe ewis.) Sentinel
The various Copperhead organs
throughout the country are parading
before the public fourteen reasons
why Grant should not be our next
President. We give an equal number
of bettersones why he should: Ga
/. He has no policy to oppose
against the wilLof the people" hag
g. Heis the unanimous choice of all
loyal citizens.
3. He is the most available candi-
date for the times.
A. He did not seek the Office, it
sought him. ~
5. Having saved the country from
ruin, he ca n most safely be trusted to
guard its destinies.
6. His being at the head of the ma
ton would be sufficient to deter trail
tors from again rebelling against the
Government.
z. His antecedents prove that he
will conduct our national affairs on
the most economical basis.
8 Instead of talking he lets his
works sound his praise.
9. He has the will to command, and
nerve to enforce the rights of our
naturalized citizens abroad.
10. Having risen himself from the
humblest walks of life, he can appre-
ciate the Wauts of the la boring classes.
IL. Because the party that opposes
him IS made of rebels, Government
delauiters, and old played.out poll
ticians
II. By the assassination of Illinois
faVOrItes son, the Government deyolved
upon renegade, who made corrup-
ton his study, aud by appointing dis
loyal and dishonest men to Office has
brought disgrace upon the country;
it is therefore Illinois duty to fur
nish n man to wipe out this stain upon
her honor, 500
ID. Ills. loyalty is unquestionable,
his honesty proyerbial, his military
ability historical, and his sterling
good sense admitted by all.
IA. We know the desires of our
rebel brothers and propose to Grant
them.

The Peosnect In NEW York.

November, and Democrats now refuse
to ner on any large majority. have
met many Democrats who voted for
Mcclellan, who say they will vote for
Grant, partly to prevent civil war, and
partly because they have faith in his
fairness and sagacity. Fran k Blair s
letter, and the speeches of Wade
Hampton and other representative
rebels, have thoroughly alarmed the
thinking of the Democratic party,
and many thousands in this State will
vote for Grant, who do not call them
selves Republicans.
