THE CuRRsNcY.-The idea advanced by
certain newspapers that there may soon be a
new division of parties on questions connected
with the currency, is supremacy ridiculous.-
Men may honestly differ in regard 10 legislation
on money Affairs but 1t is not probable that
political parties can be built upon single plank
or single question Of policy or government
The great mass Of men desire currency that
will enable them 10 transact business readily
and so long as the value Of labor and the neces-
saries Of life bear fair relative proportion 10
each other, they will not bother themselves
greatly about the measure which Is used to re-
present the same. Men do not eat gold any
more tlan they do yardstcks and 50 long as the
present currency snswers the desired end so
well, 1t Will be impossible to make them vote
merely with view 10 effect change which
Cannot stimulate enterprise or make business
more profitable.

A riot occurred at Louisville on Monday, grow
Ing out Of the celebration of the anniversary Of
the passage OF the Fifteenth Amendment. Some
difficulty about the arrangement caused the
better portion OF the colored people to withdraw
from the celebration. Ia the afternoon, how
ever, about one hundred colored men paraded
through the streets. Que of them left the pro-
cesson, and going into a grocery store took
money from the drawer. A policeman who at
tempted to arrest him was knocked down and
beaten, but was rescued by sons young men i,
and eight of the psraders were subsequently ar
rested. fhe c~lored men, IL Is salt, lheL threw
stones at every white person IL the street, and
injured eighteen or twenty men and women.
At length the mob was broken up, AMI several
more of them were arrested.

REsuMPTIoN.-The Executive Commute

REsuMPTIoN.-Th Executive Committee
appointed at the Faneuil Hall meeting In Bos'
ton, In favor of resumption, have issued an ad-
dress. They recommend that leagues be FORM
ed throughout the country to unite the people
in demand that the Government shall redeem
its financial pledges, and to strengthen public
sentiment In favor of specie payment.
Resumption, with the government demanding
the payment of duties OH imports In gold
must necessarily lead TO a stringency In the
money market that will produce great de-
preston 10 business. The banks would cease
TO discount, money could not be procured
notes would Oe protested, and the panic expe-
rienced last fall, would dwirdle into small pro-
portions with the evil which would overspread
the land.

SALE OF I.oTs.-Ws invite attention TO the
sale Of Fifty. seven building lots, which will take
place next Saturday afternoon, In the Ninth
Ward Of this city. They are admirably located
for manufacturing purposes, as well as for resi-
dences for mechanics aud laborers, and rs the
city is rapidly extending in that direction, must
rapidly increase in value. They are conse-
quemily well worth the attention OF capitalists
and business men. Within the past two years
property in that section has trebled in value,
and II will doubtless continue TO increase quite
as rapidly for some years 10 come. Invest :
menis in lots seem to pay better dividends
than III oiLcr kinds of property. Indeed We
have heard of no loss by any who have
made such use Of their funds, while nearly
every one who has invested largely In stocks
have Suffered more or less by defalca tions, sus-
pensions or depreciation. The prudent viii
profit by the experience OF the past, and place
their money where ii will yield good return
with the least possible risk. For particular

A sort of coup d'etat has taken place in
Arkansas, and that State, like Louisiana, a
few months since now enjoys double headed
government.
Joseph Brooks, who was defuated by Bax-
ter in the contest for the Governorship in
1872, began suit before the Pulaski County
Court about year ago for the possession Of
the Office, claiming that he was legally cleo
ted. A counter suit brought by Baxter be-
fore the Supreme Court of the State result
ted in a decision that the courts had no
power over contested election for the Cows
ernorship.
Notwithstanding this proceedings fingered
in the lower Court until Tuesday morning,
when Judge Whytock overruled demurrer
to the jurisdiction of his Court, and imme-
diately granted a writ Of custer against Bax
ter. In five minutes from granting of thi:
writ, Brooks, with an armed force, tool
possession Of the Capitol at Little Rock
turning out Baxter and his Adjutant Gen
eral.
Governor Baxter has telegraphed to tn
President for assistance. There is great ez
citement at Little Rock. The popular feel
ing is said to be on Bakers side.
