Current Notes..

The New York Herald reports a bitter
feeling among laboring men toward manu-
facturers and capitalists because there is no
work. According to this sheet, tho former
think that the stringency might be overcome
by stringng up few capitalists and APPLYING
crowbars to closed banks. 1t is to be hoped
that the Reraldis sensational.
The Greensboro IN. CO. New North State
thinks it would not be strange if, hereafter,
some of the strongest Republican States
should be in the South. 1t says; Southern
Republicans know that their future welfare
depends upon continuing their party in pow
er; while those of the Northern Statea, think
ing the mission of the party accomplished,
and seeing no danger in letting it break to
pieces, may go off after false gods.
The New York Times speaking of the
higher education of woman, says: As men,
bers of society, women should come up to
the highest standard of usefulness possible.
Now, this end can be attained only by educa-
ton. The more any women knows, the bet
ter will she be qualified to fulfill her destiny.
The questions of fitness and limitation will
be settled well enough by nature. We need
not come in with dogmatic authority al say,
This you shall learn; that you shall not"
Gov, Vance tells Virginia that it is her sa-
cred duty, as the mother State of the South,
to set the example of successful resistance to
the wave of barbarism which is surging over
that section and threatens to submerge its
civilization. What Vance means, we sup
pose, is oh the niger. "-SprinQfield Re

The Hartford Courant says the most ag-
gravated breach of trust revealed by the pam
ic is that of A. & W. Sprague. If they could
have made clean exhibit of their affairs
that journal thinks they would have been
heiped through, but when it was found that
they had practically ruined the Cranston and
Franklin savings banks, one of which was
under their control, there was little disposi-'
ton to aid them. The Courant says: "There
can be no excuse for such an sabuse of trust.
Had men like Jay Gould or the late James
Fisk been guilty of such offenses the press of
the entire country would have demanded
that they should be criminaly prosecut-
ed"
The Mayor of Portland, Me-, telegraphs
Victoria Woodruff that she cannot have the
city hall of that place to lecture in. Has this
mayor history of any kind? He had better
be careful. The principles of justice and
freedom must be ndicated.-ROthester IN.

John Hay, according to various authori-
ties, will shortly marry pretty girl and four
millions. We beg this pretty girl, however,
to reflect on the morality of the man who
gorifies the existence of chap who had one
wife in Natchez and another in some other
locality. And does not Mr.. Hay belong to the
Tribune? What is the pretty girl thinking
ot?-ROcbester Democrat.
We trust that the Republicans in the COM
ing session OF Congress will show united
front for specie payment, determined oppo-
sition to every project that looks in contrary
direction. Let us see them go about this
task with the same boldness and wisdom
that they manifested in graphing with slavery
and rebellion, facing its difficulties with an
honest purpose to give the people a currency
as good as gold, and they will achieve solid
success Tor Observation-Disclosures Journal.
