A communication from New Colum.
bus, in regard to the recognition of the
Academy at that place, has been lying
ON our table for nearly two weeks past,
without notice in our columns, because
no responsible name accompanied it.
Will correspondents nerer learn that
editors are not justifiable in giving
place to any thing unless endorsed by
somebody? An editor who yields this
rule deserves, and will assuredly re
ccivc, the contempt of the profession
and of the public. We mean that every
body shall rely firmly upon the fact
with perfect certainty that whatever
appears in our columns is true, If stated
AS Il fact. OF course we expect often and
constantly to express opinions to which
exception may be taken-that is simply
matter of judgment, and our readers
will form their own conclusions as to
their accuracy. Like all other people
we may at times be the victim of decep-
ton or false information, but this will
always be corrected as soon as discover
ed. And TO guard against this very
thing we demand responsible name
in every case of communication to the
editor. The name thus given to the
editor is never communicated, except
in case of necessity to justify the publi-
cation. The communication now in
hand is innocent in character and COM
mon place, but names may be used in
it without authority for aught we know,
it may be hoax, or inaccurate, or un-
authorized, and we must therefore, in
this as in all other cases, demand res
ponsible name previous to publication
p. S.-Since the above was put in
type responsible person endorses the
paragraph and it therefore appears
Our remarks, however, apply to sever
other articles on our table.

"The process of the seasons has
again enabled the husbandmcn to

Industry has been generally well re-
warded. We are at peace with all
nations, tranquility, with few excep-
tions, prevails at home. Within the
past year we have in the main been
free from the ills which elsewhere
affected our kind. If some of us
had calamities, they should be the
occasion for sympathy with the suf
ferers, of resignation on their part
to the will of the Most High, rejoic-
ing to many who have been more
favored. 1, therefore, recommend
that Thursday, the 30th of Novem-
Der, next, the people meet in their
respective places Of worship, to
make the usual acknowledgements
to Almighty God, for the blessings
he has conferred upon them,in their
merciful exemption from evils, in
woke his protection and kindness
for their less fortunate brethren,

it best to chastise. In the faith

REPUBLICANS READ.

A contemporary speaks the follow
ing of the increase of circulation
his paper is receiving. We would
like it if the Republicans of Holmes
would become enthused with the
same spirit and do as Republicans
are doing there and elsewhere. Read
and act: Many Of our Republican
brethren are sending us in new. sub
scribers constantly. There are many
more who could and should assist
us in this and other ways. Repub-
licans who wish to see their party
successful should all assist their
home paper, strengthen the hands
of its editor, contribute to its col
umns every item of local interest,
endeavor to disseminate Republi-
can truths in every part of the polit-
ical vineyard, and labor to build up
a paper that will be a credit to them
at home and abroad. This done
and they will have accomplished
more for their party and its princi
Piles than anything else in the line
of political duty that could be al
lotted them to perform in the most
hotly contested campaign. Every
paper they are the means of send
ing to a newcomer, is a messenger
of truth. 1t is like casting bread
upon the waters, aud will return to
reward them and benefit the party.
Let the good work go on! p.

ENGLAND CAUGHT.

England seems to have gotten
herselflnto trouble through her haste
to help France settle the war claims
of Bismark. 1t appears that the
Bank of England subscribed for a
portion of the French loan, and
agreed to cash the drafts of France
in payment of the German indem-
nity, and as Bismarck, of course, de-
mands gold for these subscriptions
and drafts, the bank is somewhat
puzzled to raise the wherewith to
meet the sudden and tremendous
drain upon its vaults. There is not
specie enough available in the en-
tire world to pay this war claim, at
once. The entire gold and silver
coin of Europe and America is esti-
mated at one thousand million dol
lars 1.-TWO hundred million pounds
sterling), and the Bank of England
is pushed as it never was before.
Bismarck is memorable in his de-
mands for gold; England has agreed
to furnish it, and from present ap-
pearances it will trouble her to dc
it. She has offered "Bank of Eng.
land notes" las good as gold, the
world over, but they are for some
unexplained reason, declined. Gold
gold nothing but gold will fill the
bond. We wonder if this strategy
is not resorted to by the willy Bis
marck in order to punish England
for her interference between France
and Prussia. or Germany? ,tl1

TRULY GRATIFYING.

1t is matter of great comfort to
every Republican to read every
month, the steady, sure, and rapid
decrease of the National Debt, un-
der the able, honest, and economical
administration of President Grant.
Since Grant was inaugurated, less
than three years ago, the National
Debt has been reduced nearly $780,
100000, and his administration has
reduced the National expenses some
$40,O00,0OO per annum. We say
that Republicans have reason to
feel proud of such record, and we
think that every true friend of our
Government, who does not love par
ty more than the government under
whose protection he lives, will feel
gratifed at such a result. What a
contrast between the Republican ad-
ministration of National Govern
ment under Grant, and the Demo
cratic Government of New York
city, where the expenses of the city
have been doubled, and the debt in
creased over $70,000,0O0 in two
months and to cap the climax, stole
nearly that amount; what would be
the result If such a party were in
power at Washington, and had the
handling of the National finances
at the rate the city debt of New
York was increased? The national
debt would be increased to over $9,-
100000, 900, and $4,000, 100000 of
that sum would be stolen. Part of
that sum would be an excellent me-
dium through which to carry the
succeeding Presidential election.
But there is no danger of the Dem
ocratic party getting possession of
the United States government at
Washington, as the record Of that
party in the government of public
matters from the highest to the low
est local offices has been so1m-
mensely corrupt that the better por-
tion of the party do not at heart, de-
sire its success, much as they ad-
mire and love the time honored
name of Democracy. Let Us have
economy, and let us have it right at
our own doors.

A QUEER PROPHET.

Whatever may hereafter happen
to Brigham Young,he is certainly in
rather an undignified position for a
prophet. Where in any book ofthe
Old Testament can be found that
either Elijah or Elisha or Ezekiel,o ,or
even Jonah, offered to take up a con-
tribution for the benefit of a widow
and then put the money in his own
pocket? Mahomet did great bust
ness in the prophetic line; but he
never was charged with embezzling
money as Brigham is by Mrs. Sa-
rah A. Cook, who says that he beg
ged $4,000 for her, to recover which
she now sues him. Where can you
find in any of the Hebrew reports a
case of Sarah o. Ezekiel for money
had and received to the plaintiffs
use.

RESTORED CONFIDENCE.

The commercial credit of Chica-
go,as developed by the present dire
full visitation, cannot but be q source
of qualification, amid the general
gloom The times that try mems
msouls are upon us. Certainly,
the stuff of which we as city and
a commercial mart, are made, has
been severely tested by the calamity
which has been tried by fire, and
found to bepurc gold. At least, it
is good for the gold, for our banks
are filling their vaults up with the
money that is pouring in upon us in
token of the confidence felt by cap
italists in the future of Chicago
and the staunch quality of our bus
mess men. The money is pouring
in through the channel of loans
promptly rendered in vast amounts
and at fair rates. 1t is pouring in
for the purchase of real estate at
prices surprisingly near those of a
fortnight ago, which many said were
inflated 1t is pouring in the
prompt offers of Eastern creditors
of our merchants to extend their
time and to re-stock their stores
without present advances or addi-
tional securities. 1t is pouring in
so profusely on all hands as to
evince plainly that our credit is ALL,
and that the world at large is as de-
termined as any of US are that Chi
cago must rise again and that right
rapidly. This testimonial of uni
versal confidence ing Chicago is on
ly less tonching than the benefac-
tions which have been sent as down
right gifts of charity to our desti-
tute ones. 1t is responded to by the
heroic acts of our own business men
in resolving to pay all obligations
to the uttermost farthing. The one
fact is the natural complement of
the other; for nothing inspires to
worthy deeds as timely expressions
of confidence such as Chicago is
eliciting from every quarter.-Chi-
cQqO Tribune,
