The House OF Representatives passed a
bill ordering the election in Virginia, on
the.adoptlon or rejection Of the Constitu-
ton, for Congressman, Governor. Lieut.
Governor, members Of the Legislature,
&C., on the 18th, 18th aud 18th DAYS Of
August, and the Legislature to meet a,
Richmond on the first tuesday, Of Septeul-
Der. The bill does not interfere with the
question of registration, but leaves it as
crowded for hy the reconstruction acts
nor does it divide the Constitution
as was proposed by some Of the lead
ing radicals of the State, but submits ,itae
a whole. The bill will 70 doubt pass the
Senate soon.

the Secretary of the Interior, that the av-

than that of last year. That Of Virginia
and Maryland is considerably larger. In

What Congress Accomplished.

The whole work of the late session, which
lasted about eight months, was partisan
from beginning to end, and, says Wash
ington paper, may be summed up in i'm
parchment defeated the freedmen bureau
extended, and negro government establish
ed by the bayonet in seven States.
The same paper also says; that In the
closing OF the session schemB was hurri-
ed through called the funding bill, )"
which is bolder sham and imposition than
any of the various projects yet pitt forward
by the bondholding ring" 1t proposes
that TIE holders Of five twenty bonds draws
ing six per cent interest in gold, mag con
vert them, at their option, into four per
cent. bonds as forty years, without being
subject to any form Of taxaionr 1t is tSe-
less to expose the absurdits ola proposition
so ridiculous on its face, But sppposing
this scheme were practicable, the effect
would be to fasten Upon the country per-
mahent debt, and all the pernieious conse,
quences that arc Witnessed in the despotisms
Of the Old World. In forty yeats the in.
terest alone would almost double the pre-.
sent Indebtedness, and the principal would
still remain upaid, while the industry had
been taxed for more than a generation,
without redeeming dollar Of the debt! :

John A. bingham fn fuyGr of
Paying the Bonds In Gold.

As the shrewd Mr.. Bingham may UNDER
take to dodge the great and important is
sue before the People, that of paying the
5+20 Bonds in illegal tender" we take the
following extract from his speech of Aug.
"a, 1867, delivered at Newmarket, Harli-
son Co., o. We want every ''grcenback"
man in Guernsey County to cut this out,
and preserve it tor reference during the
campaign. ...
In replying to the Greenback theory ul
Mr.. .Pcndletoh, Mr.. Bingham. said.
1T admit there is nothing in the law the
honorable gentleman refers to-that he
states truly when he says there is nothing in
the law that would preclude the gouernnent
from redeening the 5-20 bonds IN legal ten
der. X ! said in that contest when we
we're about to issue this paper money, that
| would not vote for the issuance ofa single
dollar Of paper money or single bond to
be taken by the people, unless it vas dis
tinctly understood that at some future time
OF other the same should be redeemed IN
GOLD OR SILVER. for one, propose
to maintain SO far as in me lies, the pledge
and plighted faith of the nation"
We ask any one who doubts that Mi.
Bingham made the above remarks to pro-
cure copy of the Guernsey Times, Of
Sept. 5, 1867, (if you cannot get one, come
to this, office and we will convince you), and
examine the speech for yourself. Does the
Times indorse Mr.. Bingham, or has it really
mo objections to MIR. Pendleton's declara-
tions?"- Guernsey JefGSonian.

ESinebsns I'm Maine,

Hon. John A. Bingham was down in
Maine recently addressing his radical
friends, and trying to obtain notoriety,- -
The Bangor Democrat of that State thus
describes an incident that took place IN that
city when Bingham was making a speech:
While Bingham was iraling about met
ing out even and exact justice to all persons,
black and white, the audience was startled
by shrill voice in the gallery asking him
whdt kind Of justice he naeted out to poor
mrs. ,SusYatt The effect was electric and
completely neutralised all of Bingham S
philanthropic mouthings. 1t knocked him
completely off his pins, and involved him in
the shocking dilemma of having to explain
a transaction which, for atroclous villany
and cod-blooded brutality, never had its
like on the continent. Bingham's eXplana-
ton or rejoinder left on the mind OF every
one present the undoubted conviction that
Mrs. Surratt was an innocent woman, and
that bv her execution an innocent life was
sacrificed to the bloody hate and vengeance
of the speaker before them. Hs said he
didn't do it. go ask the traitor in the
White House about i'll" go ask General
Hancock about It'll" Tfou can'st not say
| did it. Ill recommended her to
mercy" &C., all Of which was base and
atroeious falsehood, and known to be false
by all present. Bingham did not recover
himself during the whole evening, but beat
the dir with wild gestures, uttering incoher-
ent platitudes and meaning less phrases for
full hour before he could find period or
place to stop at

State Platform adopted at Col.
uEMbus. JaRqSaryS

RESOLVED, That Notwithstanding the enur-
nous and conceded frauds in the cfeatioh
of the public debt, tie faith of the country
is pledged to its payment principal and in
terest, according to The terms Of the sewers
al acts of Congress, under which the bonds
representing the debt were issued, but not
otherwise, and we are opposed to any plan
for extending the times of p2ynint, thus
increasing the amount Of gold interest to
more than the principal, or to any declara-
ton by Congress that the principal is paNa-
BILE in gold, which would virtually add
more than a thousand millions to the burtli=
eu of the debt, and to the whole insane
financial policy of which these measures
are part.
RESOLVED, That, neither forgetting nor
denying our ancient faith that gold and
silver coin form the currency of the Con-
stitution, We declare that the fiVe~twefity
bonds, should be paid in the same curren-
cy received by the Government for their
issue, and that by the withdrawal of the
monopoly granted to the National Banks
this result can be accomplished without an
undue or dangerous increase of paper
money, now the only circulating Medium,
thus relieving our people from tho burthen
of debt, the tendency of which is always
to corrupt and enslave, and our Govern
ment from the reproach of paying favor
ed class in gold, while discharging its debts
to all others, including pensions TO widows
and soldiers, in an interior currency.
RESOLVED, That this plan violates no
law, impairs no contract, brea ks no faith,
and instead of retarding a return to specie
payments, is the shortest because the only
safe way of reaching that end.
RESOLVED, That all the property OF the
country, including the Government bonds
which receives the equal protection of the
Government, should bear an equal share
in its burthens,

HFA-A friend who has travelled in Ger
many, reports the following incident, for
which he vouches: During the Summer,
DR.. j. G. Aver spent some weeks at Dres-
den, in conference with the chemists of
Central Europe, where he was heralded as
the inventor of the world renowned medi-
cnes that bear his name, and consider
ed one of American celebrities While rid
ing, one, day, his open carriage fell in with
the cortege of King OF Saxony, on drive
from the review. The Doctor soon became
the chief attraction and received the mark
ed attention Of the people, who were even
more demonstrative in their courtesies to
him than to the King himself whom they
see so constantly. King John, observing
this, wrapped his military cloak around
him and reclined upon his seat, while our
great American medicine man did the hon
ors for the royal rcstinue, graciously by
bowling, hat in hand, on every side, until
wearied by his excessive condescension to
to this old monarch's people.

General Grant md Ills Fathers
Cotton Speculation.

The New York Tribune, in the cour,e Of
an article upon this topic, says:
The World publishes an incrlocutnry
decision of Judge in a Cincinnati Cnurt
in an action brought by Jesse r. Grant
against firm of Spectators in cotton, in
which he sues for $4,000 as his share Of
EEL tain cotton speculation in which he en-
gagged. 1t appears from the opiaton that
Jesse R. errected to be able to get permit
to purchase cotton In the military depart
ment COMMANDED By his son, the General.
But At soiU also appear, dS the fqrts come to
be published, that he did not get the permit,
md that lie had no More {ntatence With Ills
illustrious SOD in this matter than any other
man would have had. This recalls the
conversation. had by an anxious inquirer
with General Grant wife, during the siege
of Richmond"
Now, the Tribune knows nothing of what
it is denying. General Grants father, Mr..
Jesse Grant, who is everywhere recogniz-
ed as man Of truth, made sworn affidav-
it before the SUPERIOR Court of Cincinnati,
in which he declares that he did get the cot
ton permit alluded to. This affidavit we
published on Saturday. 1t bears date De-
cember 81, 1868. A.ler rcciting his part
nership with the Mack brothers ip this city,
which partnership Was that the Macks
should find all the money required for the
cotton business, and the necessary huiDber
of men to ship the cotton, while he, the
father of General Grant, was to &C to the
headquarters of his son, the General, pro,
cure permit to get it, and secure transpor-
tation for if, MIR. Jesse Grant, saysi
Plaintiff says that said agreement was
~ opon and rn;fhf,,llx, oorr,aI n,,t ,,por hic
part and also was by the defendants so far
ton to New York and sale were concerned,
in this, that they have, utterly failed and
refused to render to plaintiff any account
of such transactions, or to pay over to him
any portion Of his share OF the profits aris>
ing from the same, although said account
and payment cave been repeatedly demand
ed by the plaintiff. "
Mr.. Jesse Grant swears, as we have said,
that he did get the permit, and the militia
ry transportation for the cotton, from his
son, but that the defendants would hot give
him his one-fourth share of the profits
Hence he brought suit for damages. In
view of this sworn statement the Tribune
will perceive that in its denial it has put
its foot in it, to use homely phrase.
1t would be curious to know how Mr..
Grant obtained the army transportation for
the cotton which he agreed to furnish, and
says he did furnish Was the Government
engaged at that time in furnishing its wag
ons to carry on the cotton business for in
dividuals? If it was, it is certainly new
feature in the war not heretofore well un-
derstood. IF it was not general practice,
how did the father of the General obtain so
valuable discrimination in his favor?-
What could have been the conditions?-

S,,O34 died of cholera, and s,o75 of diarrhea
The nearest ap2roach to these rates was in
1854. when the proportions we're respective
ly 1904 and 1,09l. In 1866, they were 6S5
and 6lS. The lowest rate was in 1860,
tie proportions were respectively II and
494 per 100000 inhabitants. The cores
