The report of educational operations con-
ducted or inspired at the South by the Pea
body Fund may be reckoned as one OF the
cheering signs for that distracted section. we
look to Universal Suffrage and Universal AM
nesty for immediate pacificatiOn but the true
security for the Improvement of the South Is to
be found in making free common schools as
abundant on the cotton and rice plantations as
in New England towns. The operations OF the
agent charged with the use of the Peabody
Fund seem, as far as can be judged from his
report, to have been judicOus and bene6cent.

A subscriber sends us, with long argument
the following financial plan:
Fund the National debt into one SERIES principal and
interest together with all duties imports, payable in
legal money Of the United States the bonds made 20
tenders, and redeemable in public lands
Amend the National Bank charters, Obllgng those To-
situations to withdraw the present circulation aud
greenbac1s Congress authorizing the Treasurer 10 pur
chase the bonds placed with him by the banks and
them.
On which, with equal brevity, we make the fol-
lowing comments:
l. 1t is impracticable, in that the Ma iOna
bonds are already funded, and our only right
relative to them is to pay them at par in CON-
or to purchase them by giving their holders
something which they will believe to be more
valuable. If their holders believe it to be more
valuable, as they are shrewd men, it very likely
will be. Hence, the debt cannot be funded as
as is proposed above.
g The b0ndhOlders would not think bond
payable principal and interest in currency
worth so much as one payable principal and in
terest in coin. Therefore, they would not eX-
change at all unless they got in exchange
enough of the new bonds to make the interest
on their investment equal to their present in
terest This would largely increase the princi-
pal of the debt without leSsening it's interest.
0. Our coin duties imports sustain
the value of the bonds, which in turn deter
mine the value of the currency. Take away
these coin duties on imports, and our bonds
and currency decline together
4. The bonds would gain nothing by being
made legal tenders, as they are all worth IRON
to 10 per cent. more than legal tenders
g. They would gain nothing by being redeem
able in public lands, as they are already re-
deemable in coin, and as the public lands can
be had for nothing.
G. Anybody can do banking with greenbaSb
now. If they could do it cheaper than TIN
banks, i. e.-loan money at lower rates Oh "a
terest-the banks would lose the business. IL
banking on greenbacks would increase our
rates of interest, what would the people gain

The. Indiana boilers accomplished their pur
pose yesterday. Lieut-Gov. Cumback was forced
to withdraw from the Senatorial contest; the
party united on the Hon. Daniel D. Pratt, an
able lawyer, an old Wing and Radical
Republican of little previous political prOmi-

Republicans having now shown their demand
for an unusually high standard of political
decency and morality, we hope to see them

The Erening Post proclaims that it is not

thoroughly Independent. Yet when the Repub-

lucrative Federal Offices in our City, and was

We could quote column after column from
the editorials of The Post wherein Henry Clay
and his compatriots were assailed in terms as
gross and with charges as reckless as the above,
and wherein the Tariffs of 1928 and 1912 were
DETAINED and berated as foully as our present
Tariff is. The issues are essentially the same
now as then, and so are the tactics of The Post.

EDS. JEFF Not wishing to in
trude upon your space and patience,
but observing that you have no cor
respondence from this place, the
thought occurred to US that few
lines would not come amiss. This
is one of the oldest towns in the
county and the most pleasantly situ-
ated. II is not as large as some, and
strangers in passing through might
get the impression that it is lone
some place in which to live; hut we
would say to any one that loves qui-
etness and peace, come here to live.
Our people are a church going peo
pie, and most OF them regular attend
ants at Sabbath School. Not long
since we had union supper in the
grove near this place. Three relig
ious denominations were represented
on the occasion, viz: M. E, Church,
Disciple and Presbyterian. Our
march from the church was very
pleasant. After arriving on the
ground we had singing from the
choir, led by Miss LodgskY Cline.
winch was very line. An address
was delivered by Prof J. w. H. Nor
rison, after which repast was pre-
pared by the ladies. A committee had
prepared a swing for the children
which added much to the enjoyment
of the young folks. Old veterans of
the Cross, such as Bro. Williams, HI
P. Woods and William Cline, were
present and participated in this most
pleasant reunion. 1t was a time

The matter of Amos Wilson, charged with
playing charades with members of his con-
gre,ation, was taken up. Some of the Older
members condemned such practices as unholy
in the extreme. Dr. Harris remarked, have
nothing TO say regarding the propriety of play
ing charades, conundrums, Sc.; have never
taken a pait because / never considered my

-ond I have seen grave and reverend minis
,ers take part in them if there is anything
wrong i'm them we should begin TO correct the
evil with the older men aud not with The
younger members of the Conference. These
Iciiarades are published in religious periodicals
which are under the control of the General
Conference. To bring the subject fairly before
the people offer the following resolution:
Resolretl, That the Committe on Pastoral
Address inquire into the propriety of playing
these charades.
Rev. Newton remarked, Ifyou want young
man, full of snap and energy, pass Brother
Wilson's character. Chaplain McCabe said
he would vouch for Mr.. Wilson, religously
and pecuniarily. The character ofMr. Wilson
was passed unanimously.
Before the adjournment, Chaplain McCabe
sang "a beautiful and impressive hymn.
