FENTON.
His Speech at TWeddle Hall, Albany,
New York, Yesterday.
He DemOlishes B0utWelPS House of
Straw, and Successfully AsSalls
Grants Administration.

ALBANY, July lS.-Tweddle Hall was
we'll filled tonight to hear Senator Fen
ton on our national finances. Ex-Sena-
tor Ira Harris was selected President of
the meeting; DIR. Swinburn, however,
stated that, owing to illness, Harris was
detained at home, though he heartily
sympathized with the movement. Ex-
State Senator A. J. Calvin was then
called on tOpreside, and a large number of
Vice-Presidents and Secretaries were
appointed.
Mr.. Calvin, in taking the chair, briefly
addressed the meeting, indOrsing and
sustaining the movement of the Liberal
Republicans and the union of the Dem
oerats with them.
Senator FentOn was then loudly called
for, and came forward amid enthusiastic
cheering. He commenced by saying bis
speech would relate wholly to financial
questions of a public character; proceed
cd to discuss the principles of debt and
taxation. The truth is the administration
was at fault, and on it must largely rest
the responsibility of its continued un-
sound monetary condition. 1t had had
no financial policy, except to collect
taxes under the laws of Congress,
'nOaru 5Olul, IN Wall street, ana pay
debts. He then detailed the action Of
the government for ten years past, and
said that the men at the helm of State,
or at the helm of our national finances,
neither tell us what should be
adopted, nor what principle should
guide us. We are, he said, clearly with
out safe governmental guide now.
The speaker then at length detailed the
banefm effects of q superabundaney of
paper money, and pointed to history to
show how much paper could be carried
by certain amount of gold One dol
lar, in specie in the banks,
he said, for every three dollars Of
paper in circulation, is a necessary
condition for public confidence and
financial security; but in our case we
have five dollars of paper for every dol
lar in gold. BE referred to the credit
given General Grant and his admins
tration for paying so much OF the public
debt, and said that all the credit belong
ed to the people, who, through their
representatives in Congress, suffered it..

EpIroRIAL REFLEcTIoNs.

1t is painful to note the feeling of
gloom which the recent outrageous Oc-
currences in this county have thrown
over our town. Business, which was
dull before, seems, under the fatal infiu-
ence of suspense and anxiety, to have
come to a dead stand. Men talk of
nothing-can think of nothing-but the
horrible deeds of last Monday night.
The state Of public feeling is deep, but
not turbulent; intent, but not tumultu-
Gus.
All ardently desire to see the majesty
of the law upheld, End justice dealt i'm
partially to all, and there is manifest
resolution to do everything possible to
secure peace and safety; and, though We
recognize the strong incentive to excite
ment and impulse contained in the late
occurrences, yet we counsel all 10 the
exercise of prudence, patience, modera-
ton and coOlness, trusting that, in the
strong arm of the law, We will find a
power able and willing to protect the
innocent as well as punish the guilty.
