Government Printing of Bank Notes.

The tact that the various bank note engraving
companies have had an active lobby m Washing
ton opposing the proposition to have the gov
eminent do Its own printing, is cOmmsDted
upon with severity by several of the leading
papers of the country. The Cincinnati CON-
7lerciGl, after considering the matter at some
length, expresses the hope "that Congress will
he deliberate in its action on this question, and
be guided BY what shall be discovered to be tie
best interests Of the government, rather than of
the persistent and ever-clamorous engraving
Companies"
Since the governments first experiments in
the line Of printing, these companies have car
RED their attacks upon the system to most bitter
ano, II Is believed, inscriptions ends. They
are not only opposed to the government doing
such work, but also to the National Bank sys-
TEN, since under the old plan OF multiform sys.
tens of ; ate Banks, and the great number of
banks, with perpetual changes, they had most
extravsgantly fat jobs OF engraving IL
creased, too, in their richness by the fact
that the great variety of bank notes made the
work Of counterfeiting much more easy and
ntcessitated more frequent changes in styles of
notes. Ii is notorious fact that scarcely auy
stock can compare in profit TO that of the en-
craving companies, and the more fully they
can control monopolize the business the
more powerful they become to prevent a change
and TO break down fair competition.
The work of printing now carried on by the
government Is done so well, so economically And
with such an admirable system OF checks
against fraud that it would seem to be the
height Of folly to make any concessions for the
benefit OF the rapacious engraving companies
The government ought, in fact, to have all work
OF this Kind done here under its own eye AMI
supervision.

Senator Samner-s MfsInfOrmatiOu In,
Regard TO San Domingo

Senator Sumner seems to be unfortunate in
the character of his information in regard TO
Affairs in San Domingo. The mistakes of stats
ment in his speech against annexation have
already been illustrated through the reports of
the correspondents who accompanied the COM
missioners and now there is a new case in point.
MIR. shepherd, the correspondent Of the Repu5-
bean, says:
DIR. Howe, of the commission received a
letter by the Ty bee from Senator Sumner in
which the writer wildly asserts that there ia a
revolution in progress in the Seybo or the Ciboa
districts. OF course there IL no truth in the
staten, nj. In both districts the people are
peacefully at work. and by repeated testiuoDy
before the commission IL is shown IL at the gre a.
majority are in favor OF annexation. can speak
for Seybo, for went over IL. DIR. Howe read
the paragraph to the commission, and II occ.-
stoned hearty laugh"
MIR. shepherd states, also, that Fred. DOUGLAS,
has been busy in procuring information for the
ommission, and that he (Douglass) finds that
more than twO-thirds OF the people are in favor
OF annexation. The only opposition to annexa-
tien, Il appears, comes from those whose mode
OF living would be cut on by a stable govern
ment, and from the foreign merchants who are
chartered on the island, and who dread the
competition of the Persevering Yankee.

States, which, even by the rcconslruc-

Tho Bellofonte IVdtchman, in an
article under this caption, says;
1.-The action of the State Conven-
tion making Hon. William A. Wallace
chairman of the State Executive Com.
mittee, is much to be commended
Mr.. Wallace is one of the ablcst men
in the ranks of our party, and will
throw vim and energy into the cam
paign that willrb be sure TO rouse the
enthusiasm and spirit of the party,
generally, throughout the State He
was formerly chairman of the com
mittec, and led the Democracy gal
lantly through many hard fought
contest. The comforting of this honor
upon him again, at this time, is high
compliment to his skill and ability,
and one which his past services pc
culiarly cntitle him to. The election
this fall Immediately precedcs tho
grand presidential contest Of 1872,
and il was therefore ominently neces.
sary that We should this year have
our best man at tho helm. With
Chairman Wallace to direct our ener-
gies, We feel that we shall march to
certain victory. lie Is an untiring,
indomitablc, and dauntlcss leader, and
will wresL a triumph from the very
clutches of Radicalism. We consider
his election TO Craftsmanship master
stroke of policy, and one which will
fall with u benumbing effect upon the
heads of our enemies. They know i!
means fight in earnest, and already
we begin to hear cries of dismay and
chagiin from the Radical leaders.
Now, then, let us go into this cam.
paign, determined to win. We can
do tjust as easy as not, only we must
all work. Nobody must sit down
and fold his hands and wait on others,
but eUery man must work with all has
migM. The harder we work, the
greater will be our victory, and in
proportion as we win now, So will we
win in 1872. We have McCandless
aud CoOpor-two able and ominently
qualified gentlemen = to bear aloft
our banner, with Wallace as leuten-
ant and, with such leaders, we can
not be beaten. We believe that the
sun of the second Tuesday of next
October is destined to be the bright
sun ofthe Democracy in Pennsylvania
and to witness the downfall of the
peoples enemies in the glorious old
Keystone State. Aud our triumph
then will be to the Radicals the shadow
of the coming event of 1872, which
shall overthrow them andall the hosts
that have forgotten God and the coun.
try and set up political Baal in the
land
Let every good man, therefore, bo
he Democrat or Republican, go TO
work at once, and help to bring about
tho good old days of yore. Surely, 10
man can say truthfully that he is not
tired and disgusied with the way
things are going on now. Why, then,
should there be any hesitation in
joining hands for the sake of bctterng
our condition. There cannot be-

A NOBLE Acr.-On Thursday afler-
noon last, as the Express train on the
Western Pennsylvania Railroad was
proceeding Eastward, and rounding
a curve about midway between Leech.
burg and Apollo, in Armstrong county,
the engineer observed woman on
the track, waving her apron violently
in the air The first thought was of
danger and he Immediately applied
his brakes and got The train stopped
just in time to prevent u terrible acci-
dent, as a mass of rock weighing
about fifteen tons had fallen upon the
track few rods from where the wo.
man had given the signal. When tie
train stopped, the passengers were
not long in ascertaining the cause,
and approaching the noble conduct
Of the poor country woman to whose
presence of mind they owed their res
enc from a shocking casualty. Col.
Hicks, the conductor of the train, at
onco consulted with some of the pas.
scngers, and in short time purse
of twenty dollars was made up and
presented to her. She gave her name
as Mrs Frank. A passenger on the
train, from whom VIC obtained our
information, desires that we should
commend the case of this humble wo.
man to the company; Had it not
been for her warning signal, the train
would have been dashed into the rock,
and serious damage to the train, if not
TO the passengers, would have been
the consequence. Altoona Tribune.
