The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Times says, in alluding to the ques~
tiOn of paying the bonds in greenbacks:
''Rut such squirming and lodging as
there is upon this financial question, in the
Radical ranks to-day, threatens TO seriouss
| ly ieopardize the very existence of the
party. Like Banquo's ghost, il will not
down at the bidding of any paid press or
| politicians, but will keep shaking MS CORY
locks at the affrightened poor deVils who
are candidates for reelection, in the most
terribly alarming manner. A leading Re-
publican from New Jersey informs me that
threerffths of his party in that State are
in favor of PendIeton's platform; and 80
il goes all over"
The Radicals are sorely pdzzled in res
gard to this question While some of
their leaders are denouncing the PROPOSE
ton to pay the bonds in greenbacks,
others favor the measure. Gov. Browne
low, who has been a sort Of pattern saint
among them, and who aspires to the Vice
Presidency, and has been recommended
as candidate for that position by two or
three county meetings in Tennessee and
Arkansas, is out squarely in favor of the
proposition, and this is probably the rea-
son the late Radical Convention in this
city did not recommend him as the tail to
the Grant ticket
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, in no.
ticing the result of the special election
in the eighth district of Ohio, in connec-
ton with the fact that the successful Re
publican candidate advocated the paying
of the fye-twenty bonds in greenbacks,
says
=" If General Beatty had not been pro-
fuse in his promises to 80 vote in Congress,
if elected, TO have one currency, alike for
the people and bondholder, he would have
been defeated. By pretending to be more
Democratic than Colonel Burns, by going
in heavy for a more plentiful supply of
greenbacks, and by using what he had
freely, he has been chosen TO Congress.
The first election held in Ohio then is an
Involvement of the Pendleton plan Of pay
ing of the bonds in greenbacks, both can
didates being pledged 10 that policy"

THE RuMORrD DFFAICATTON.

Some of our city contemporaries have
given publicity to the rumor that Capt.
Brown, Receiver of the Memphis, Clarks-
vile and Louisville railroad, is a de-
faulter to a large amount, variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 100000.
Brown was appointed by Gov Brownlowl
and the Press and Times claims that he
was recently removed by the Governor
The Louisville Courier of the 3lst ult
makes the following statement in regard
to the matter M
1--WE have received information, from
the highest and most reliable authority
that the statement made by our Nashville
special on the 29th, that Captain Brown,
the Receiver of the Memphis, GAINESVILLE
and Louisville railroad, is defaulter, il
without the slightest foundation in truth.
His report to the Legislature will be SUBJ
mitted in few days, and will fully vindi.
cate him from such charge. We make
the correction with pleasure"
We presume Browns guilt or inno-
eence viii be established in a few days,
unless political considerations require
that it shah be hushed up.

A SPECIAL election for Congressman, to
fill vacancy, was held in the eighth dis
trict, in Ohio, few days since, which
resulted in the election of the Radical
candidate, Beatty, by majority Of eight
hundred. His predecessor, q Radical,
was elected by two hundred A feeble
effort is being made by the journals Of
that party to magnify this into a signif-
cant affair, and as one indicative Of a
reaction" The fact is that the snccess.
full candidate owed HE increased vote to
his avowed advocacy Of the proposition
to pay the interest of the fveetwenty
bonds in greenbacks. The only signii-
canoe in the result is the popularity of
that question. The New York Times
recognizes this to be the case, and says ::
One feature of the canvass merits no-
tice. The Republican candidate took
ground openly and strongly in favor Of
paving the national bonds in greenbacks.
That this contributed greatly to his strength
we presume cannot be doubted. The West
is generally in favor of imitation, and no
man, we think, would stand much chance
of success in contcsting any district Of
Ohio, either on the ground of contracting
the currency, or of redeeming our bonds in
coin. Gen. Cary carried the Cincinnati
district mainly on this issue-declaring
himself in favor both of paying the debt
in greenbacks and of expanding the curN
rency The indications which this inci-
dental feature of the canvass offers for the
future, can scarcely be called reassuring.

RALEIGH, Jan. 3I.-The convention,
yesterday, adopted, with slight amend
ment, the article on the Governor and other
executive State officers. The report on
militia, considered in committee of the
whole, requires every able bodied male
citizen, between the ages Of twenty.one and
forty, without distinction of color to per-
form military duty. The convention by a

to lay the resolution on the table prevailed
