By act Of Congress members of Con-
gress are hereafter to be elected on
the Tuesday after the first Monday in
November. This brings two elections
every other fall, or three elections
every two years, unless the new con-
stitution is adopted. The new consti-
tuition will cut off two of these, thus
saving $4,000 year. If you would
prevent this useless expense, vote for
the new Constitution.

MANY of the opponents of license,
while they acknowledge that there are
many important and much needed re-
forms in the new constitution propose
to vote against the ratification of that
instrument. as they say, to make sure
of the defeat of the license clause.
They are unwilling to let that
question stand or fall upon its own
merits. They are afraid to trust the
people.

WE hope the following, which we
clip from an exchange, may be real
lied in the not distant future:
sLight is breaking upon the finan-
cial horizon of the East. A general
feeling exists among money men that
the hard times have passed, and a
good time is close at hand. Capital,
from its long inactivity, is becoming
uneasy. People are beginning to look
Westward for investments. All the
reports from New York are decided
ly cheerful. With the country full
of money and full of crops. substan-
tial prosperity may be expected"

Hon. J. G. Thompaon vindieated.

1t having been charged in the Col
umbus Sunday News that Hon. John
6. Thompson, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, had
been guilty of applying the funds of
the committee to his individual use,
the following correspondence on the
subject took place between him and
Jacob Reinhard, the Treasurer Of the
committee, which fully vindicates Mr..
Thompson:
COLUMBUS, o.. Aug. 3rd, 1874
JACOB REINHARD, ESQ:
Dear Sir In yesterdays News
there was an article insinuating very
broadly that I. as Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
had diverted funds of the committee
to my personal use. As yoH have for
many years been a member of the
committee, and are, and for some years
have been, its Treasurer, you must
know whether this accusation has any
foundation, and l request you to state
whether it has or not. Very truly
yours, JOHN q. THOMPSON.
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 3, 1874.
HoN. JOHN 6. THOMPSON
Dear Sir:-In reply TO your note of
this date have to say that the accu-
sation against you, to which you refer,
is wholly unfounded. All the funds
of the Committee come to nae as its
Treasurer, and l pay them out on
proper vouchers therefor. After eve
ry election a meeting of the State Cen
trail Committee takes place, at which
a subcommittee is appointed to inves-
tigate the accounts, which sub-com-
mittee examines the accounts and
vouchers, carefully, and reports the
result of the investigation to the full
committee. In no case has there been
found a deficit or improper use of a
cent, In every case the accounts have
been found correct and been approved,
This has been the conrse of business
/ for years, and there has been no op-
portunity for you or any one else to
misuse the funds of the committee.
In conclusion, it is proper to remark
that the means of the committee have
never, when / have been member OF
it, been large-generally no more than
was necessary to pay the expenses OF
printing and circulating speeches, ad-
dresses, letters and circulars, and the
wages of clerks and messengers. 1t is
a great wrong to charge or insinuate
that the funds of the elcemmittee haYe
been misapplied or improperly used.
Yours, j. REINHARD.

The Cincinnati Enquirer and 0tner
opponents of the New Constitution
assert that the General Assembly can
make all necessary judicial reforms
without any amendment being sub
mitted to the people. This assertion
is an admission that judicial reforms
are necessary, fact that is universally
felt and admitted, 1t was this fact
more than any other one thing that in
duced the people by SO overwhelming
a majority to call convention to re-
wise and amend the Constitution. It
was this, among other things, that led
both parties to pass resolutions in fa-
vor of calling the Convention. And
why was this done il, as is asserted,
the defects could have been cured by
the Legislature without a submission
to the people? The fact is those de-
fects were recognized to be radical,
existing in the system, which was cre-
ated by the Constitution, and could
not be changed without the amend
ment of that instrument. It is by the
organic law that the judicial power
Of the State is ''vested in the Supreme
Court, in District Courts, Courts of
Common Pleas, Courts of Probate,
Justices of the Peace, and in such
other Courts, inferior to the Supreme
Court, in one or more counties. as the
General Assembly may from time to
time establish. 1t is by provision of
that same Constitution that the Dis
tfict Court is composed of the Judges
of the Court of Common Pleas of The
respective DISTRICTS" who sit to pass
upon their own decisions, and in
which the people have so little conf
dence that few or no cases end there
but are carried to the Supreme Court
to lumber up its already overburden-
ed docket, until there is scarcely a
hope of reaching a determination, in
many cases, during th,i'ife time of the
present generation. 1t is the sheerest
nonsense to talk about the General
Assembly making all necessary re-
forms in the system without a SUBJ
mission to the people. It is true the
Legislature, might submit a specific
amendment upon this subject. bal
while the defects have been realized
for many years, such thing has not
been done, nor is there any likelihood
of their doing so for many years to
come. Let us then secure this much
needed reform at once by voting fol
the new Constitution.

into Gove.nmsrt bonds, bearing three per
cent, the bonds likesOise cOnps tibie into lar
tti nloAeg, at the option of the holder.
This system will furnish a currency of
uniform volume and value, with the neces-
sary tlexibihty to adapt it to the exigencies
Of trade, and underline control of the people
who produce and distribute the values TO be
represented and exchanged. 1t will be self
adjusting, for should the rate Of interest in
business transactions rise materially above
the that paid ON Government bonds, the
bonds would be exchanged for money on
the contrary, shonld money become too
abundant, and the rate fall below that
paid ON the bonds, the money would be
converted into bonds.
The sdoption Of this system will not only
save the forty eight millions Of dollars to
be wrung from the hard earnings Of labor,
and handed over to the bankers, undertheir
system, but it will so regulate and reduce
the rate Of interest in all business as to
save to the enterprising producing classes
over five hundred million dollars annually
Thus it will do more to emancipate labor
and encourage the Development of our
resources than all the Free Trade and Pro
tective Tariff laws that ever have OF can
be enacted
Fellow workmen, we have thus en-
deavored to give the real issues involved
in the present political contest. On the
one side are arrayed all who live by specu-
lation and the accumulations Of interest,
and on the other should be all those en-
ployed in production and legitimate com
merce, as well as in the useful callings and
professions. If you believe that the gov
eminent should not be administered wholly
in the interest Of capital, and for the bene-
tit of those who live by speculation without
regard 10 the rights or interests of those
who produce and distribute the wealth and
pay the taxes, you should prove your
fealty to these principles by sending dele
gate to the National Greenback Conven-
ton about to be held, at which steps will
doubtless be taken to form a national
party, through which these principles will
be presented to the American people for
ratification or rejection.
