THE MONEY POWER.
Two elements have been brought into requisi-
tion the present campaign to defeat the peoples
will, without which the Grant men would not
stand the ghost of o chance Of success. I all1de
to the money power and the colored vote. The
money power, by which I mean the
bonholders the g1e2t M m9nfgea ofbeqa aiSsd S1sl

hundred million Of the peoples money, forsak-

boldly entered the political arena, ard under

man the Radical ticket. Shall they by their
combining be permitted to cast Illinois vote for

Illinois2 81,
GRANT oR GREELEY.
It is for You to decide. If you would continue
our present financial system, by which the rich
would ssnction usurpations OF authority, by
which those once in Office may perpetuate them
selves in power; if you would continue the
abuses and corruptions Of Government
and the present ecandalous Civil-Service
system, by which one-fourth Of tie rev
enues are annually lost; if you would
keep up the alienation of feeling between the
people North and South, and perpetuate the
carpet-bag rule under which several OF the
Southern States have been already impoVer-
ished; if you would surrender up the Govern
ment Of your country to those who owe their
positions to the money-poWer and the combined
negro element, then vote for General Grant.
But if you would have financial system which
will secure to labor and industry their just re-
ward, and to the people currency which shall
be equally valuable with that in the hands Of
thority to the limits OF power prescribed BY
the Constitution, and leave to the indi-
vidua1 the largest liberty consistent with
public order; if you would correct abuses and
have an honest administration of the Govern
mont if you would restore peace and goodwill
between the people North and South, and bring
al to q love Of the Union; if you would place
the Government OF your country in the hands Of
those who do not owe their positions to the
money~power or the combined vote Of the color
ed race, then vote for Horace Greeley for Pres
ident, Gustavus Koerner for Governor OF ILL
nols, and for men who Will sustain them in their
respective positions.

Through Ben. Wallace, Justice seven

Through Justice Everett, $25 was appro-

ST. NARY ORPHAN ASYLUM.
The report from this institution was read,
showing the amounts due and the names of
those entitled to relief.
Justice Taylor thought the allowance of
$40 per year was heavy; he wanted to know
if the children could not be bound out.
Justice Meacham thought this institution
was run by the county, although it was
gotten up by benevolent societies. 1t cost
the county at $40 per head for seventy or
eighty children, $4,000 per annum. He
was in favor Of reducing the amount,
though allowing the usual appropriations
during the rest Of the year. His idea was
that the county should only partially
assist and not totally support these
institutions. The court was allowing
only SIS per year for helpless widows with
families and the appropriation OF $40 to
each person per year in this institution was
inaugurated during the war when provis-
ions and clothing were much higher than at
present. The report showed there are
seventy-seVen inmates receiving county as
sistapce in this asylum. The report was re-
ceived and the usual appropriation made
with the understanding that the amount
would doubtless be reduced in future.
The court, on motion of Justice Meach-
am, adjourned until ten o'clock this morn
inc, Justice Maxey voting no.

BURGLAR Y.
brave Conduct Of a Colored Roy,

Between 2 and O'Clock last Friday NOR
ming a colored thief invaded Maj. McBath's
yard, in Knoxville, and stole coffee sack,
hoe and shirt. After this the midnight
prowler prosecuted his felonious designs
still further, going to the stable of William
Rodgers and endeavoring to steal horse
belonging to this gentleman. The colored
hostler being awakened by the noise, saw
what was being done and Immediately
rushed upon the thief, who dropped the
stolen articles and made an effort to escape.
The faithful colored boy, who is highly es-
teemed by his employer, caught the thief,
who, drawing knife, stabbed bis assaiant
in the back, producing a serious, if not IA
tai wound, and was enabled thereby to es
cape, dropping in his flight an umbrella
marked w. II. Havely. By some the bur-
glar is thought to be a white man, whose
face was blackened in order to escape de-
lection.

How rs ThiA?

We clip the following from the Knoxville
Press and Herald, June 30: On the 9th day
of April last, We received and published the
gratifying intelligence that bill had passed
the Senate appropriating S18, 900 to the East
Tennessee University, as payment for dam
ages to the Institution by military occupa-
ton. The news was telegraphed TO the
President of the University by Senator
BrOwnlow, and was no doubt true. We
were led to the belief that the allowance
would certainly pass the House. 1t ought
to have passed the House. We have
never heard any reason why it did
not pass the House. Many other
claims, of like character, but far
less meritOriOus, did pass the House. In
deed the house became quite liberal in such
matters Just before its adjournment. Now
will some one please inform our communi-
ty what became Of that Senate bill appro-
priating $4,000 to our University? What
action, is auy, was ever taken in the House
on the subject? What steps were ever taken,
if any, to secure its final passage at the last
session in the House, or before any House
Committee? If any such steps were taken,
what objection, if any, was urged against
the allowanc of the claim? If no steps
were taken to press the bill through the
House, why not? In what condition and
In what charge is thai claim now? These
are matters about which our people would
like to be informed. The money is due and
ought to have been paid long ago.

Arrested and Incarcerated.

A man calling himself Wm. L. Blair came
to Jones5oro las, week and represented to
our citizens that he was an agent for Mike
Lipman's circus-that he was the balloon
list of that concern, and made an effort 10
procure goods from some of our merchants
on the credit of the circus proprietor. He
succeeded in procuring suit of clothes
from Mr.. II. P. Miller, after which
he decamped on the Eastern bound
train. A telegram 10 the
authorities at Bristol caused his arrest at
that place, and he was brought back to
Jonesboro, on Friday last and tried before
'Squires A. G. Cillins ane c. w. Meek on
the charge of obtaining goods under false
pretences. He was bound over to appear
at the next term Of the Circuit Court, and
in default of bail, was committed 10 Jail to
await trial before the proper tribunal. The
circus men seemed very anxious for the
authorities 10 turn him over to them for
punishment, and pronounced him an I'M
considerable imposter. -JOneSborO Flag
