The decrease in legal tenders and specie In the
bank statement this week shows about the amount
that has been RENTED to the South and West with
the addition in the coin decrease OF the shipments
OF specie to Europe amounting to over one-half the
whole sum- while the difference between that and the
net loss exhibited in the statement has doubtless been
drawn TO supply the wants OF country banks in the
manufacturing districts. The stringency in money

ANOTHER CONVERT. The Rev. E. c.
Hewes, noted Universalist clergyman of T.
linois, who has lately left the Radical party and
come out for Seymour and Blair. thus defines
his position to the editor of local paper:
Your correspondent speaks of me as wa
vering Republican. Permit me to say in ref
erence to my political history. that. while l
never held extreme views. my first vote, and
every vote thereafter for twenty years. was
with the Democratic party up to 1856, when
sympathlzng more thoroughly with the Repub-
licans, ! gave them my vote and voice. and
have continued to do 50 until the present time.

was largely instrumental in gathering the ma
terial for six regiments; and entered the ser

whom one lies upon the shore of the Missis-
sippi) reported at Albany as early as April,
1861, rendering all the service was capable
of until the close of my term of service. My
views are unchanged except upon the qnes-
ton of finance and taxation, aud SO strong is
my sympathy with the laboring classes that it
is quite likely shall cooperate with the Dem
ocrats in the ensuing campaign, as have more
confidence in their willingness to remedy ex
listing evils.

A NICE ATTORNEY GENERAL. The Selma
Gala Times publishes the following of Joshua
Morse, Radical Attorney General of Alabama.
A negro named Bob, belonging to the father.
in-law of Joshua Morse, was arrested and inn.
.prisOned and tried on a charge of assaultino
with intent to kill a. white man. There was
nothing but circumstantial evidence against
him Joshua Morse and others determined to,
make him confess his crime, that he might be
hung on the confession. To this end, Joshua
Morse and others whipped him, and then rub
bed salt in, his wounds. And afterwards,
him and whipped him severely. Thus they
made the negro confess that he was guilty. and
the Circuit Court convicted him aud sentenced
him to death. But the prisoners lawyers took
an appeal to- the supreme Court and there
this extorted evidence was ruled out and the
prisoner saved from the death Joshua Morse,
had prepared for him
These are facts. They are all on The records
of the State. They cannot be denied, for
every judicial officer and every lawyer in the
State has the proof in his library.
BY negro votes this man Morse has been ele-
vated to one of the highest Offices of the State:
With full knowledge of all these facts, the
Radical State Convention nominated this man
Morse for Presidential Elector for the State at
large and every negro who shall vote for Gen..
Grant will necessarily vote for this man Morse y
This man is candidate of COon Rex, Sils-
by, and all the the carpet baggers in this coun-
ty and the State; they nominated him for At
torney- General they made the negroes elect
him Attorney General; and they have put him
in such position that no vote in Alabama can
be cast for Grant and Colfax unless it is first
cast for him. ... ..... .......... ..s
