Whilst some of oar Radical friends say
we are not justified in holding up and
showing iaits most hideous light the civil
rights bill which passed the United State:
Senate, and only failed in the House be-
cause it vas so far down on the calendar
that it could not be reached before ad'

upoa Us, and negroes are making use Of
it. We invite the at;eatiOn Of the white
people OF this county to the following vii

On every side it secms to be conceded
that the next Congress will be Democratic.
While this is generally admitted. there
has been some doubt as to the composition
Of the next Senate. We believe that from
present indications, the next Senate can
be controlled by the Democracy. Then,
as the next Legislature will bave to elect
a United States Senator to succeed Arthur
I. Boroman, sec to it, that schOn and Nc

done him. No one has attempted toshow the
possibility of specie payment, nor of any other
currency which can compare with the legal
tender currency.
The foreigner could profit by an attempt at
specie currency, and the mOneyed man cauld
profit by the crushing contraction which would
attend an attempt at specie payment-but
who else would profit? Who would not suf-
fer? Would specie payment bring abundance
of money! Wonld il secure asteady volume
of currencyl Would it preserve us against
an iucessant and disastrous nuotuation in the
volume of currency? Has it ever secured
any country against SUCH Has il. not in
every country ever been attended with per-
petuAl succession OF convnlsions? What se-
curity have We that hereafter, with tenfold
foreign debt, We shall be free from the deadly
grip of the foreigner?
For this OOuntry to be dependent upon the
foreigner for its every dollar, as assuredly it
would be with coin only as money, is to SUBJ
iect itself aud all of its interests to despot-'
ism more absolute and searching than has ever
existed over any people and their interests
in all tho record of time.

A Clergyman in OQmioaI Trouble.

AT the annual meeting of the Presbytefy
of Chester, held At Phwnixville on Monday,
the Rev. Jos. Porter, pastor of the Presby>
terian Church at that place, was tried. It:
appears Porter called on Sister Spare fres
quently, and sometimes rehaihed for dinner.
Now the female is known far and near as an
excellent cook, aud the reverend gentleman,
being lover of "good things" never declined
an invitation to banquet with the family.
The husband found his butchers, bakers
and grooer's bills growing larger, aud upon
investigating matters ascertaincd that instead
of supporting one family he was really feeding
two. Basketsful of cold turkey, barbacued
rhickeus, and other esculents were given to
the poor" almost daily, and the strain on his
purse became fearful. Finding things grow
ing worse, aud the preachers visits more Ere.
quent, the husband ''smelt MICE" and
brought the matter before the church. As
stated, the trial canc off on Monday, and
after a full hearing Of both parties, the
Presbytery acquitted Porter of the charge
preferred against him. Tho ''mau of Cod
passed through the ordeal and escaped una,
schathed His maligners may now bow their
heads with sbame.-Readi"y (la) Eagle.
How TO DO UP SHIRT BosoMs.-We have
often been requested by lady correspondents
to state by what process the gloss on new
linens, shirt bosOms, ETC., is produced, and in
order 60 crafty them we subjoin thp following
recipe: Take two ounces Of fine white gum
arabic powder; put it in a pitcher and pour
on pint or more of boiling wafer, according
to the degree of strength you desire, and the6,
having covered it, let it stand all night. In
the morning pour it carefully from the dregs
into a clean bottle, cork, and keep it for use.
tablespoonful Of gum water stirred in
pint of starch, made in the usual manner,
will give to lawns, either white or printed,
look of newness, when nothing else can re-
store them after they have been washed.
SUIT AGAINST KNIGHTS OF PYrH1As.A
Mrs. Maggie Lamndred, of Louisville, has

Pythias in that city, because tho defendants

GREBNBAGKs OR REGULATION.

Editor of the Spirit of jefferson Please
publish the following article from the New
York Sunday Ne,os of j uue the 18th, 1874,
illegal tenders-a view of the case"
1t will appear, palpably, in the facts stated
in that article, that the Gond-hoLdcrs are,
themselves, responsible for the national debt j;
and that it was incurred by consequence of
their failure to furnish their just contribution
in money to carry on the war, while the peo-
pie contributed their full share in furnishing
2,7O0,O00 soldiers.
No one will advocate the reputation of a
just debt public or private nor, at the same
time, should he shrink from defending his
rights and resisting what is a manifest fraud
and swindle.
In this view, the BOnd>holders are the re
pudiators; and if they insist on hard money
and refuse the legal tender currency of the
people, the people will be justifable, before
God and man, in the prompt rcpudiGtion of
their vile fraud aud swiudle
