= Greeley stock is rapidly on the
decline. 1t is now at about the same
per cent. in the political market that
greenbacks and national bank bills
would be in the money market, if his
financial policy were practically car
ried out, and that is anywhere from
two to three hundred per cent. below
the value ofgoId. Mr. Greeley's finan
cial policy is to require the immediate
resumption Of specie payments. He
says, or has said aconically, when
asked how this can be done, "The
way to resume is to resume" Every
business man in the country knows
that that policy if adopted, would ruin
every business man in it. 1t would re-
duce everything to the gold value, and
when you would buy an article at a
store, and drag out your greenbacks
or national bank notes, you would be
compelled to pile up an amount of this
kind of currency, sufficient to
make the pile equivalent 10 the gold
price of your purchase. That is, for
an article worth one dollar in gold,
you would have to pay three dollars,
and perhaps more ia currency. Every
business man knows this would be the
result of MF. Greeley's system of i'm
mediate specie payments, and debtor
with an amount of personal or real
assets in his possession double or
treble the amount of his liabilities,
would be driven into bankruptcy, be.
caEse upon the gold basis, he could
not realize enough for his property to
meet his liabilities.
Under the present financial system
of the administration we are, however,
approaching nearer and nearer to
that desired point, when the country
shall be prepared to meet the demands
for specie payment, but prudence
requires that it should be approached
gradually, and with great caution.
A straight out State convention has

- The question up here is, "HoW
much money did it cost Sohn to buy
up the Cincinnati Post to advocate his
election to Congress, and to slander
and abuse Mr.. Smith, the Republican
candidate ?" The Post is not publish
ed in our district, yet it travels out
side of its bAilwick to do a great deal
of dirty work for Sohn. Is it to be
supposed the Post would do all this
dirty work for Sohn free gratis? Not
much.

The humors of New York JUST ce
are inexhaustible. Not long ago Citi-
zen Halloran put such a "head' on
Citizen Burns that the latter was short
ly after measured for his coffin and
solelnly committed to mother earth.-
They called it murder; but on the trial
it appeared that Citizen Halloran had
something the matter with the co n
tents of his Mansard gerret. An in
telligent jury therefore acquitted him,
and an intelligent judge sent him to
the lunitic asylum. The next day,
however, Elk Citizen Halloran inform
ed his counsel that he had got things
to rights in his fifth story, and wanted
to resume his citizenship. Nothing
easier. A Ha6eas Corpus is applied
for and granted, and Citizen Halloran
emerges to thank God that he lives in
an age and country where mercy so
thickly seasons justice that you have
to take shovel and hoe to find it.

friends to wine-some from his own
cellar. Now we are a peculiar people
over here, ana do not stop to ask on
what man is made drunk, but if he
IS seen reeling, vomiting drunk as Mr..
Sohn made his friends, we take it fol-
granted they are just as bad drunk as
if he had given them brandy or whisky.
The truth will out, that the drunken
debauch at the house of Mr.. Sohn on
the evening after his nomination was
a disgrace, and it VIII be rebuked on
election day, or else we do not know
