"The TJeacon Smith Game"

The New York Sun has hammered away
for we know not how many years at Deacon
Smith. the "truly good" editor of the Gin
cinuati Gazette, who has wicked partners"
which latter are by the Sun ironically held
responsible for whatever appears in the
Gazette calculated to provoke public dis
pleasure. We had become rather tired OF the
Suns interminable twaddle on this theme,
and had supposed that it would produce no
fruits. But We see now that a new phrase
has been added to the English language, and
an expressive formula been invented, as a
consequence Of this chronic warfare upon
Deacon SMITH. The President Of the United
States having been excused for nominating
incompetent men for various offices on the
ground that he was imposed upon by bis
Cabinet officers or other friends, the World
at once dubs this sort of apology the Dea'
con SMITH Came" and every reader will see
at once that 1t is most expressive phrase
The g wicked partners " are CREswILL and
robson, and FISH ard RICHARDSON, and
the rest of the Cabinet officers, as well as
MORTON, CoNKLNG, CARPENTER, and other
persona friends of the President. Indeed,
ANYBODY who may mislead the unsu>pecting
GRANT must be included amongst these
s.wicked partners" "The Deacon SMITH
Game" is Phrase that is likely to survive
the war between the Sun and the Gazette.

The letter of Rev. j. A. LATANE, of Wheel

Withdrawing from the ministry Of the Pro-

six columns of each Of the Wheeling papers.

tarsburg appeal Of yesterday says:
.'The Dispatches correspondent %. III. All
right in his statement that Colonel Baldwin
ascribed to General Lee the credit of origi-
mating, or, rather, of suggesting, the idea out
Of which grew afterwards the celebrated
snew movement of 1868. We were given
the same version by Colonel Baldwin In the
summer OF 1872. The conversation between
General Lee and Colonel Baldwin was had al
one of the Valley fairs. Soon alter Wnlcn
the latter set out for Washington, ana q.

1t seems to be settled that it was General

persuaded that specie payments must be re-
sumed even I every business-house in the
south is thereby broken, and every me.
chanic thereby turned out Of employment.
Ordinarily there might be some excuse Tor
this sort Of talk, but now there Is none. IL
is known that The late panic was caused os
a scarcity of currency; and so well pelsuaueu
were the New York financiers that that was
the cause of the trouble that they invented =
new sort Of currency, which they ca""u
certified chetks,r and which were reslhs
what they were called, but which were useu
as currency. These certified checks pup
piled the place Of millions Of dollars OF cur.
rency. and but for them it is probable tha'
,wo-fh;rds of the bllsiness-houses IN tn's
country would have been forced 10 shuI up.
What the people demand now Is nnahci'l
systcm that will make certified cheeks un-
necessary hereafter as currency-a system
that will not compel men holding millions
os dollars worth of securities to suspend
payment because they can get no currency
advanced upon their securities. Mt. rLArT
saws they shall have no such system "itn
his consent.
We readily admit that eight hundred MIL
lions of currency may be enough for the
country. But in order that it may be enough
il must rot he boarded, aud it must not oe
roh,e tn n "corner." Il must not, IN
word be liable to being boarded as the cur
rency was boarded last September. Eight
hundred millions will make the exchanges OF
tbe country as long as 1t is in use; out
when withdrawn it leaves fearful chasm,
an aching void indeed, which none but
financial ouacks would propose to I'LL
with goll and silver. The people needa
system that will render them absolutely ex-
empt from such panics as that of last fall.
They lost hundreds of millions OF dollars
by that panic. Richmond lost more
money by the stoppage of business
than her share OF. the public debt OF the
United States! And all this loss woula

probable that Governor Coke will send to
the Senate to-day the name of the new attor-
ney-general for ratification. When this is
done the proper officers-viz.: Governor,
Attorney-Ge General, and Secretary of State
will proceed to count the votes for other
State officers and the constitutional amend
ment. which will be completed on Wednes-
day, The present incumbents have siSrihed
their willingness to retire when their sue
