The Georgia Convention sends Greet.
ing to Gen. Beatty.

A recent telegram from Atlanta. Geur-
gia, says: At a large meeting Of the
Republican members Of the Georuia
Convention, held at their hall to-uiabt
the following resolutions were present.
ed by D. g. Getting, editor Of the An
gusta National Republican, and adout-
ed unanimously, with loud cheers:
Resolved, That the Republicans Of
Georgia send greeting to their brethren
Of the Eighth Congressional District of
OHIO. We have watched for the result
of their election with great interest and
solieitude, for we have been told that
the Democracy, like a rushing tide. in
creasing as il went, was to sweep over
the North, and dash to death the Re
publican party. We have looked to
the election in your district (ths first of
any Importance since the quasi Demo
cratic victories last faIl) to indicate
whether these sinister representations
were to prove false or true. The result
has relieved our fears, and we rejoice to
congratulate you upon your success,
and your choice Of the gallant Beatty
to represent you in the halls Of Con-
gress. We hail your triumph as har-
binger of more important and wide
spread victories to come.
Resolved, That copy Of these resO-
lutiOns be signed by the Chairman and
Secretary Of this meeting, and be for
warded to Gen. John Beatty, member
of Congress elect from the Eighth Dis
trict of Ohio.

In the Senate, the resolution Of the
Legislature Of Ohio, resembling the vote
by which the amendment, known IS
the 18th Article of the United States
Constitution, was received. Senator
Sherman said that this action did not
represent she people of Ohio, but was
the act of q partisan Legislature which
was elected on altogether different is
sues, while the Legislature by which
the amendment was adopted, was
elected on that definite issue by a
majority of 10000. He was satisfied
the people of Ohio, to-day, would vote
in favor of the Constitutional Amend
ment by 100000 majority. Next fail the
people would reverse this action by an
0verwheIming vote. Mr.. Sumner said
il made no difference how this thing
had been done. A State having given
its assent to an amendment to the Con-
stitutiOn, had no power to withdraw It.
The matter was referred to the Judicial
ry Committee. ........Mr. Sherman, from

Iowa.

Iowa is clear of debt. Alone, of all
the States, she does not owe a dollar.
This is not the result of meauness or
dishonesty. The people of Iowa did
not shirk from their duty during the
war. They paid their full share Of the
public expenses, and sent their quota
of men to the field; and there were no
better men in the armies Of the Union.
The gallantry Of IoWa's soldiers was
conspicuous In every battle. IS their
endurance and YigOr were IN every
march, This happy condition of free
dom from debt is due to the wise aud
economical administration which the
people of iowa have insisted on, and
which thes- State officers have been
able to give them. It Is, indeed an
enviable situation which other States
groaning under debt and taxation may
lock at with an admiring eye.
There is another singular virtue
about the State Of Iowa which should
be mentioned with equal honor-in-
deed, 1t may serve to explain the won
derful growth and prosperity of that
desirable fraction Of the Union. -
Since the days of George Was hington
Jones and Augustus Cesar Dodge the
State has been steadily and rapidly in
ereasing her Republican strength. The
majority of Fremont over Buchanan
in 1856 was 1874; of Lincoln over
Mcclellan in 1864 it was 39, ,489. In
the general stampede Of last autumn,
Iowa stood firm, even when Massachu.
ats was deeply shaken, Pennsylvania
lost, and Ohio divided with the enc
my. The figures below tell the story
of the State that is out of debt Note

islature, and tax your memory. to re-

DELUsIVE FIGUREs.-The Chicago
papers boast that during the past year
thlrty-three per cent moro marriages
were solemnized IN that city than 10
Cincinnati. This has a prosperous
and enterprising sound, but It is sub
ject to one drawback. The Chicago
papers fail to inform US how many di-
Vorces occurred during the same period
as an Offset to the multitudinous es-
pousals. We fear, unless the reputa-
tion of Chicago is a gross injustice to
its actual social condition, that dis
count must be made upon that prom
ising percentage. And it is but fair to
remind the boastful journalists of that
uncertain city that the vital question
is not how many people are married in
a given year, but how many stay mar
ried until the year is oUt.-5SpringtieL3

The Democratic papers are making
noisy asseveratiOns thai. the Repub-
licans carried the Eighth District by
purchasing Democratic votes. Indeed,

that a very small outlay would have

ton unanimous. Tue eiamOr, however

sell, And, moreover, the Republicans
sold no votes, however willing the
Democracy may have been to buy.

Republicans in Delaware was damaged &

Morton's Great Speech in the Sen
ate.


/ Colonel Forney writes to the Phila-
| delphia Press, of Senator MOrton's
| speech, on the oath:
''Ths scene this afternoon reminded
me of the time when Webster and Clay
/ spoke to eager and applauding CALLER
/ les, and of the later struggles after the
war began, when Brecklnridge, thun-
| dering treason from his seat, was met
and mastered by the martyFed Baker.
/ The interest excited by the belief that
| the Radicals had abandoned their deten-
/ sive line and intended, from this time,
/ to attack, attracted an immense crowd,
and the result more than justiies the
dependency of the Democratic Senator
whose words have quoted. The wealth
of argument and the treasures of facts
at the command Of the Radicals show
what terrible autagonism they can
wage against the enemies or freedom
and as heard these two powerful bu t
wholly different discOursss, I wondered d
not only how any Republican could
doubt Of the overwhelming triumph Of
his party, but how rebels or Copper
heads could hope to perpetuate the pow
er so guilty betrayed Into their hands.
3GfoYernOr DGorton's speech surprised
even those who knew his c0nsumate
abilities. Speaking from his Senatorial
chair, on account of his extreme debility,
his physical weakness added TO the inter
est of his argument. I remember how,
long, long ago, George Med uffie, of Mis-
sissippi, habitually pronounced his daz-
zling rhetoric seated. But In how differ
ent q cause the Senator from Indiana is
engaged McDuf1e spokeas a brilliant
partisan; Morton almost as an inspired
patriot. will not attempt to give you
a glimpse Of his tremendous r8futation
of Democratic falsehoOds or his over
whelming VindieaLiOu Of the Republi-
can Congress. The telegraph to-mor-
row viii convey a skeleton account of
his positions but TO enjoy them fully
you must wait for the flesh, bone,
brains, and blood Of his effort, as it is
being revised by his own hand. After
he concluded he left the chamber much
exhausted, amid the admiration of his
friends and the respect of his enemies. /
No statesman who listened to him but
must have been convinced that he had
heard q master-a master not only in
intellect, but in heart-a profound |
thinker, and a resistless lOgician-but, !
more than these, a sincere and fervent /
lover Of his country and Of all the op-
pressed races of man"

ereonBaoEs and Eetional Currency

The 'sBilI to substitute greenbacks for
our National Banking Currency" in
other words, TO destroy our National
Banking system, which is said to be
supported by the Committee on Bank
ing and Currency, would, If passed, be
an Infinitely more substantial victory
for the ndigham-Pendleton De-
mocraCy than any they won ct the polls
last FAN. We hope the Republican
party viii receive no such Bru6us-like
stab at the haElds of its friends. The
National Banking system is an indis-
Pensable fius.ncial bulvark Of National
Sovereignty against State Sovereignty,
aud the ReceNted mode Of attaining q
sound, unifoEtn and redeemanIs paper
currency. The attacks which have been
made upon ii are grounded mainly in
s0phistTy and ignorance, and we had
hoped that so far from receiving the ap-
prOvBl Of the Banking and Currency
Committee, they had received an eftec-
tual uuietus,s The bill of Senator Hen
derson to so amend the National Bank
ing act as to make the amount Of the
bonds deposited thirty-three per cent.
greater than that Of the currency 1ssu-
ed by them, will place their clrcula-
ton on q sound basis for returning 20
specie payments. The accompanying
provision which makes the National
Banking system free to all who may

and its currency viii therefore expand
and contract according 10 the wants of
the community. But an increased is
sue of Rreenbacks will only tend to-
ward depreciation and repudiRtiOn.
Having no element Of redeemability,
they viii have no capacity to expand
or contract, according to the wants Of
the business of the country Above al,
the destruction Of the National Bank
ing system would ultimately drive Us
back into the system Of local or State
banks, with all their insecurity, beter-
Ogeneity, irredeemability, and dangers.
A bill to retire the greenbacks and con-
vert them into National Banking cur
rency, enlarging, perfecting and con-
sOlidating ahe National Banking sys-
tenn, would be sensible and wise. We
trust, if the Banking Committee have
concluded in favor Of the measure ate
tributed to them, Congress will square
ly and exactly reverse their conclusion.

The Enquirer has been at great
pains to explain away the Democratic
defeat in the Eighth District; and It
has given almost every reason except
the true one. Among other things, it
says the Republican candidate used
money, leaving it to be inferred that
Mr.. Burns had nothing to do with
that kind Of material. But now Mr..
Yallandignam puts in his appearance,
and says money was sent by 0spirGRts
to high places and their friends to aid
and comfort Gen. Burns" 1t was not
the want Of money that defeated Burns
but the want of votes.- Cincinnati
