IRON the Indianapolis Journal
More than thirty year, ago. In the
little town Of Crawfordsville, Ind,
there was q merry, old. fashioned we'd
ding and Captain e. r. 8. Candy and
I,ouisa Hawkins were married. Both
ware Young the bride was beautiful,
gifted with q reed-like grace Of move
ment. and q rich and exquisite voice
that still haunts my ear with the echo
of its remembered music. HIS calm,
earnest way Of loving had won her
whole soul, and throughout tho shift
ing changes Of all this tract OF years
she had gone with him, aud where he
WAS there has been her home-her
yery home. Along the lonely frontier,
at desolate outposts, In Florida, In
New Mexico, In California, even on
the rough edge Of the battle, that gen.
lie. delicate woman has lowered near
her husband, and the banner over. her
head was Love. In the frultless march
10 Utah, under B%uchanan's Admins
tration. her tent was pitched among
the mountains where the troops win
tered. What the husband gained In
moral hight BY the companionshlp Of
the Christian wife, how much he owed
to her, and we through him. has not
bean recognized. HIS inherited ten
dency to gloom was charmed away in
that serene and gracious presence.
There vas healing In the wings Of the
guardian spirit, and through her cease
less vigilance, whatever could harrass
or annoy was smoothed from before
him rs By the unseen agency OF fairy
hands. Partly to this unfailing care
is due that even polse of brain which
kept his Judgment SO finely balanced
that, as has been. said Of Washington
In action, she never failed to observe
all that was possible. and at the same
time to bound bis aspirations by that
which was possible" Nothing could
exceed the knightly tenderness, the
courtly difference Of his manner to her.
He early learned-as sooner or later
all must learn-that a little love Is
better than much fame, and those who
knew him merely as the silent, In
flexible officer, could not guess how the
lo~yeliness of her life was blended with
his, and filled 1t with an undersong Of
wonderful sweetness. 1t IL pleasant
In this age Of Individuality and self
assertion to find a women like her OF
whom I write, who has never consid-
cred the question Of rights, Is content
to vest her ambition In another, and be
simply a wife. She has not lived like
the lilies who toll not, but has ever
been an active. earnest worker, mind
full of others, forgetful Of nothing but
self. Her household was directed with
a wise aud elegant thrift, more abun-
dant than any waste, and once when
the General laughingly complained OF
being kept on short allowance, she
surprised him with a sum saved from
his pay sufficient for the purchase Of a
farm In Missouri. This. too, was for
others. In Richmond she made her
enemies love her, and In New Orleans
said, ~ can hardly keep anything,
there 10 such suffering about u.s." How
many she has warmed, and cheered,
and comforted, only the recording an
gel has written.

Samuel j. Bookstover, a we'll known

He got up, procured a pistol, got back

his friends anticipated such a tragical
result. He leaves a family, a widow

masonry for . distance Of twelve
feet, each tunnel oil the several
levels of the Crown Point connecting
with other mines. At the points Of

A Bankers Views.
New YoRK. Sept. 25.-Mr. Howes,
of the firm OF Howes s. Macy, sus-
pended. says they had not borrowed a
dollar and did not intend to borrow
one. We have plenty Of the very best
securities. but don't propose to sac
rifce them at the prices now current.
The fact Of the matter Is, a general
suspension Of large banking houses
has become q necessity and the sooner
1t takes place the better. The small
banks can afford to hold out perhaps,
but the larger ones must suspend or
90 under. The people who bring their
money to US aud expect to get per
cent. interest must not think that we
put 1t into a corner to look at. No,
we invest 1t, and we cannot convert
our investments on the jump without
great damage to ourselves; at any
rate we don't purpose to be the au-
thors Of our own ruin. SO depositors

Ex-secretary McCulloch ON the stu.

Mr.. McCulloch, ex-Sscretary Of the
Treasury. In the course Of CONVERSE
ton, said the only course to be pur-
sued now for safety Is a bold one, free
alike from fear or excitement. The
suspension Of Henry Clews & Co., /
regard rs very unfortunate. That
firm I have understood to have been q
very successful one, and doing a large
business. In my judg ment 1t would
have been wise In its friends to have
prevented such an occurrence at all
hazards. The failure Of ono house of
Its prominence does incalculable harm
by weakening the sense Of security In

Suggestion for Relief Of the Curren-

A number of foreign exchange
bankers In this city have suggested to

Is laid to be now under consideration

Of New York offer these terms: We

The WAYS and Means Committee Of the
House have yet under consideration the nu-
merous propositions that have been referred
to 1t for refunding the internal revenue tax
collected from raw cotton nj the close Of the
war. The majority Of the Southern members
Of both branches Of Congress have exertcd
themselves with efforts to prevail upon the
committee to render a report on this Import
ant question without further delay. When
the tax was originally imposed II was the
opinion Of such leading Republicans us Mcssrs.
Dawes and Carried that II was either impolltlc
or unconstitutional, and they voted against II.
Since then the Supreme Court has been equally
divided on the question Of Its cOnstltu-
tionality, which fact alone Is sufficient to sus-
tain tho grave doubts ut first entertained re-
garding ii. The cry of lobby" should frighten
no one when such great interests are at stake
and the illppant sensations which have been
recently printed regarding this matter are
unworthy of moments consideration.
The memorials, petitions, arguments, &C.,
&C., Of all the Southern States; city, State
and national boards Of trade, both white
and black citizens of cycyy section Of
the country, should be heard and re.
seivc such attention as they deserve,
while the cornornnts Of the lobby, who
shrek for blood through the aid Of sub
,idizcd sCTihes, should receive the earnest
condemnation Of all lovers Of Justice. The
Northern farmers have never paid tax on
heir staple products, wheat or corn; II they
lad they would be able to sympathlze with
the agriculturalists Of the South, who have
been compelled 10 pay millions into the
Treasury through an lmpost on their staple.
4 moments reflection will convince any rei-
,onabe man that the tax was unjust, because
Il was imposed on Industry; and, further, be.
cause It was imposed on a special class, In
violation Of the spirit Of the Constitution,
which provides that taxation shall be equal
tEed among the States.
1t was impolitc, because 1t was imposed al

Just at this time, and the machinery designed

the House sholyed the measure. Il was not

The Senate yesterday passed the House
bill abOllshing the franking privilege, with
an amendment providing that no compcnsa-
ton, In money or otherwise, shall be paid to
members of either house for postage. The
amendment is, In short, an entire revocation
Of every privilege which Senators, members,
and delegates In Congress, as well US officials
Of the Executive Departments, have hitherto
enjoyed In franking private or official letters
and public documents. The result OF this
sweeping measure will be to defeat the object
Of the original bill, as the House will never
agree TO it. The Senate has thus shrewdIy

sition Of this important subject upon the

respects was the very picture OF GOODNESS and In

goods through the efforts Of Detective Briggs,

Sherwood, let the prisoner have jewelTy to the
amount Of $3.50. Mr.. Sayre not receiving his
pay, made some Inquiries In New York concern

the arrest.
II Is believed by those acqusInted with the case
thus far that the above named gentlemen are
not the only victims, and that many additional
swindles will lie brought TO light. Mr.. Bennett
