THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
The Chicago Times VS.. Tom
Ewing.
The Expedients of Empiricism.
The Democracy Want the Old
Democratic Currency.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The Chicago
Times in an editorial this morning takes
strong ground against Gen. Thomas Ew-
ing's new financial proposition. 1t says
the true Democratic doctrine is well and
briefly expressedin Vallandighsm's Mont
gomery county platform, of Nay 8, that
is, the basis of all sound currency, and
in favor of paying the public debt at the
earliest practicable moment, consistent
with moderate taxation. 1t further Gays
that the assumption that if the proposed
legal tender paper money is made con-
yertible at the pleasure of the holders in
to three per cent. government bonds,
there can be no danger of excessive in
flation is contrary to all probability,
MIR. Ewing thinks that the issue of
more paper would reduce the rates of in
terest charged by money lenders to such
an extent that investment in three per
cent. bonds would be the best that could
be made, that il, he thinks initiation
would stop itself. How can he think
apy such thing, knowing as he evidently
does, that initiation (which expands gen.
eral prices is mystery we cannot pene-
trste. He must know that expanding
prices stimulates speculation, always Gre
ates a strong demand for money for spec
ulatiye purposes, and therefore always
forces up the rates of interest. By adopt
ing BIZ. Ewing's plan, and issuing enough
new legal tenders to pay off the 8 POS,
an impetus would be given to specua-
ton which would speedily bring to an
end the ease which has so long charac-
terized the money market, aud produce a
stringepcy which would double the
present rates of interest in q month, that
is. provided the enormous issue proposed
should not destroy ali confidence in the
currency and render 1t wholly worthless.
Every addition TO the volume would
heighten the effect and stimulate the de
mand. From The history of French as
signals aud the Confederate currency, We
may learn that the experiment would end
in q grand explosion, involving the coun-
try in ruin. The Democracy of the
United States are too familiar with the
history of this sort Of financial empiu-
cisnn in Europe and this country, and
they are too well acquainted with the na
ture and laws of the country to assist in
concentrating any such crazy and de-
structive monetary scheme as that which
has found SO warm and artful an advocate
in Gen. Thomas Ewing. They are not
such hopeless lunatics as to think of get
ting out of debt by creating perpetual
debt, or of restoring specie payment by
issuing irredeemsble paper in unlimited
quantities and banishipg specie forever
from the country.

ssTHE UNTOLD LOVE OF ALICE


~
Under this caption the Chicago Repu6-
lean states that there is a secret page of
the history of Alice Cary which has never
been written, and seldom of late years
been told. The incidents in the life of
'the Maiden Queen of POesy," thus re-
ferred to, may be thus briefly stated:
When the Cary sisters made their first
prllgrimagc to the eastern literary
Mecca, Rufus Wilmot Griswold, Baptist
preacher, journalist and author, then
about five years older than Alice, was
among their earliest acquaintance. He
gave them space ia his books, faJtered
them, encouraged their hopes; and as
sisted in finding market for
their wsres. Towards Alice he was more
especially inclined. Their first acquaint-
ance ripened into friendship, friendship
into intimacy, and intimacy into love.
1t was said at last that the parties were
solemnly sfianced. Tnis was nearly
twenty years ago, and Alice had then
passed thirty. He was bidse citizen of
the world, and she was quiet retired,
sensitive, domestic and unassuming.
Trouble came between the two in the
shape of woman in society externally
more attractive than Alice Cary. This
Li0iSon prodsced GOODNESS, and the
engagement was broken. Several years
passed, aud in 1857 Rufus Wilmot Girls
void lay dyingof lingering disease in the
metropolis, in poverty and alone. the
sisters had many friends, and hsd been reas,
onably blessed by fortune. The injured
woman forgot her wrongs, and came &c
the bedside of the man who had SO gIiev.
ously deceived her, and watched with
him day after day, and week after week,
as life slowly ebbed away. The sick
room was made cheerful with books,
flowers and all necessary comforts; and
to defray necessary expenses, the money
earned by days and nights of labor with
the pen was freely lsyished. At las
death ended the sufferings of the false
lover, and the grave closed over the secret
of woman's sorrow, now for the frs
time made public.
