have everywhere been able to rescue
themselves from the domination Of crime
and an inefficient administration of JUS

so here, if necessary. But the necessity
OF adopting summary measures is always
to be deplored We earnestly hope it
may never be forced upon the good peo-

lawlessness in every stage, and without

in the majority and would rather be pro.

have been led to make these remarks
from a case of stealing which occurred
on Sunday night, right in the midst of

Above and below Mr.. Cronan's store are
establishments which keep open all

thieves saw fifty men, or more, on the

hoodlums will have getting drunk on

GREAT BEND, Aug. Is, 1873.
To he Edit~rs Of the Nsic National Era and Citizen:
In my travels through the coal and iron
regions, and all heavy manufacturing towns,
like Pittsburg, the conviction is settled that
there is not banking capital sufficient to prof
itably carry on business, and that manufac-
turing interests must suffer unless this state
Of things is relieved.
The people prefer that the Government
increase their banking capital from fifty to
one hundred per cent, according to their
business requirements. by issuing new green
backs to the required amount the banks to
return to the Treasury an equal amount OF
Government bonds, the banks to issue new
stock equal to the amount Of greenbacks re-
ceived, and not to be required to keep any
more reserve Oh account Of said increase OF
capital, as they deem the present reserve
sufficient.
This, they think, would benefit the manu-
featuring and mining districts, build up the
farming interests and country generally, help
the Government by destroying just so much
Understanding gold bonds, without increas.
ing the currency so as to depreciate.
They say something must be done for relief,
and think this will remove the difficulty
without q general and indefinite expansion
and also recommend an increase of interest
upon special agreement, and not to exceed
ten per cent. per annum.
1t is estimated that an increase of $50, 900, ;.
0o0 per year for five years would not be more
than the industrial interests of the country
require.

l can learn this meets the wants of the PEG.

COMMUNICATIONS.


Our friends across the Potomac need not
think that the party being successful in the
next election is going to elevate negroes TO
Office. In the convention where the slate
was shown BY the minority. they, in making
1t up, were not generous enough to put in
nomination single negro, except in the
isolated case of permanent chairman Of the
convention
The nomination and election of n colored
man to preside over the convention was
nothing more than a sop. The wire-workers
knew that it would please and tickle the
blacks, and for once they resigned the
Craftsmanship to a negro Was it not Just as
easy, and that, too, in keeping with the
principles OF right, to have made thi, same
man 1t. Governor? 1t could have been
done, but those whose business 1t was to see
that the claims OF the negro on the party
were respected even in Virginia, were found
wanting when the hour came. And so
friends, We fear that you will have to make
yourselves as comfortable as possible in the
back seats, which Just now you seem to
prefer. ToUssAINT.

BaJ-The ku-KluX of Mississippi are at
their old tricks. DIR. X. r. Dunn, deputy
United States marshal, was assassinated at
Cornth on Friday night while lying in his
bed. Strange to say, no southern agent Of
the Associated Press has yet informed us
that " the deceased was unpopular with his
party, and that certain cOlOred politicians are
suspected Of having instgated the murder"
or that 1.-THE shooting grew out of an old
grudge, and had no connection with politics :"
These are the standard phrases in which
ku-Klux murders in that State are tele-
graphed to the North. There is a sentiment
Of mercy abroad which is demanding the
pardon Of the miserable wretches who inau-
gurated reign OF terror in South Carolina
The President is yielding to it, and many of
the midnight raiders have been set free We
should be glad to see more Of them pardoned,
not that we have the least sympathy with
the perpetrators Of such infamous crimes
but because we believe the Order has been
entirely broken up in that State, and that
amnesty and forgiveness will tend to restore
peace and develop a healthy national senti-
ment. 1t would be very gratifying, how
ever, to all persons possessing an average
sense Of justice if the Mississippi Ku-klux
could be made to occupy the prison cells
which have just been made vacant by the
pardon Of their South Carolina brethren

met with some opposition, as being undemo-

weight and popularity Of the various candi-

in mass meeting men are nominated by
parties who merely hurrah at the meeting,
but never do any work afterwards. Howev-

to this plan, We hope for the sake of har-
