Rs.oived, That II is the sense Of this convention
that Congress should 80 amend the present Ma

organized under the fame to substitute green.
backs In place Of the national bank currency nov
issued BY them and thereby savc tho people the
payment Of about $4,000 900 Of gold interest
annually.
To our mind il is nothing more nor
less than public robbery to compel the
people of this county annually to pay
over t,oenty million Of dollars for the
purpose of making the National Bank
notes good. Why not burn them up
cancel the Bonds and issue "grcenbacks
in their stead, and in that way get rid
of these millions of tribute we pay
now. More, the people have already
paid over t,oo hundred and forty millions
Of dollars for the safety of this currency
and yet it is no safer today than il
was ten years ago. aA
If we are to have nothing but
paper money, we say, cancel the "Na
tional" stuff, deliver up the bonds, and
issue greenbacks. For "God sake" stoT
the interest. That's what keeps us sc
poor and drives buiness men into bank
ruptcy. Let us bank upon gold and
silver and strict integrity, and break
up those panics, and "corners," and
rings, and then prosperity will greet
us all around.

THE STA TIE FUNDS.

An act was passed last winter re
quiring the State Treasurer to publish
monthly statements of the amount OF
moneyin the State Treasury, and where
deposited The July statement shows
that there was s453,O0O in the State
purse on the LIST of August, 5000 OF
which was on deposit in the First Ma
tional Bank of Clearfcld. OF the safe
ty of this amount there can be nc
question, and the State Treasurer il
entitled to great credit if his deposi.
tories of the State cash are as safe as
the deposit Indicated But what shall
we say Of the $4,000 deposited with
that notorious Legislative rooster and
coruptionist, Jacob Il. Ridgway, OF
Philadelphia Besides, Ridgwsy's
note for 100000 has been lying in q
pigeon hole in the Treasury Depart
ment for over seven years, Who cribs
the interest-sG, ,000-aunually ?
Public opinion should compel the
State Treasurer to abandon all such
commercial buzzards as Ridgway. HC
sustains the same relations to the laws
of trade and commerce that Beechel
does to virtue and morality.

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

An election for Congressman, Gov
ernor and other State officers was held
in this State on the 9th, which resulted
in u glorious Democratic victory. The
Democrats have swept the State by
over 10000 majority, clecting seren out
of the eight Congressman, and adding
about twenty-five more majority to
their already large majority in the
Legislature. Two years ago the Radi-
Gals elected their Governor by 1000
majority and elected three of the eight
Congressman. The State was never
so Democratic before. Grantism is
doing etiectual work for the Democrats
throughout the South.
While North Carolina has not been
as badly misruled as some of the other
carpet-bag States, yet her people long
ago became tired of their Radical op-
pressors, whom they were anxious TO
cast of, But until the present year
il seems that they have not had the
power to free themselves from their
opprcssors. But to all appearances
the work has been fully accomplished
this year, and henccforth the Old North
State will be found journeying along
the road to prosperity. While it is
true that the Radical Ring has stolen
largo sum Of money from the tax
payers, the amount is far less than in
some of the other States which have
been plundered by a similar gang
Tho people fully expect to be able, in
a very few years to annihilate all
traces of Radical snoIias;o" IL tLa
other Southern States desire to prosper
they will have TO rouse themselves and
throw off their carpct-bag and scala
wag rulers. Prosperity cannot come
as long as they remain in power. In
Tennessee, also the election was very
decided Democratic and Conservative
triumph.

Why NOT "SEND HIN UP"?-Our
readers no doubt remember that Col.
John II. Stewart, Post Master at Pitts
burgh, about year ago was discovered
to be q defhulter to the tune Of $780,
900, for which he was arrested and
held to bail for his appearance at the
next term Of the United States Court.
He was also indicted for perjury, for
having kept the names of a number OF
persons on the pay roll as clerks, and
swearing to the accounts, although no
such persons were ever employed, and
of course pocketed the money himself.
Three terms of court have passed and
this loyal robber has not been called
yet. Who holds the hush money p
Has the Government Treasury been
made whole? These are questions
which should agitate rcformcrs, Of

How OuTRA0Es ARR BEGuS.--A
scallawag named Alexander $. Wal
lace, n Congressman from the Fourth
South Carolina district, is stumping
for recollection, and is demonstrating
his unftncss for the position by. such
utteranccs as the following. While
addressing meeting of colored voters
recently at Gowdeysville, he said;
"your rights are in peril, and you must defend
them. II you don't get them at tho ballot-box
you must resort to the oartrdge-box."
Such fellows viii some day succeed
in melting the ignorant negroes to acts
of violence and then will come fear
ful Slaughtered the blacks at the hands
of the whites But, whose fault will
il be2 We often hear Of blacks in the
South being inhumanly treated, but in
every case, If the truth were stated, il
would be found that the blacks "threw
the first stone,' and also, that they
were instigatcd to do it by some crazy
fanatic or carpet-baggcr from the
North. In honest truth, the colorcd
mans best friend is the Southern gen

THE CONGRESSIONAL LOBBY

This corruption ring is as wide
spread as the Union, and annually,
through the connivancc of members Of
Congress, robs the United States Treas
ury of millions of dollars, and in many
instances nominates and defeats mem
bcrs, just as the ring thinks il may, or
may not, need them.
II is generally supposed that our
State Capitol is infested with enough
of this political vermin. But there is
not one "rooster' in the Harrisburg
'1obby" for fifty there are at Washing
ton. II is no wonder so many of our
Congressman fall from grace, and so it
will be while the people continue to
elect such small, merccnary men as have
filed the Hall of Congress for the past
ID years.
Congressman William Lawrence Of
Ohio, Chairman of the Committee on
War Claims, has written letter to
the Cincinnati Commercial in which he
gives some interesting facts. He says
the claims now pending before Con
gross reach about 500, 1000, 900, many Of
which are test claims, which, if success
ful, will be followed by very many
millions more. The judgments Of the
Court of Claims for the year 1873
amounted to s4s9,034. The claims
paid nndcr relief acts by Congress for

WE RISE TO EXPLAIN.

Most of our readers no doubt noticed
our article last week entitled party
etiquette" Some, at least, read it, as
we infer from the fact that several
gentlemen have interrogated us in this
way: "Did you mean me9" says one
while another remarked "did you in
tend to hit me in your etiquette article
last weekg We replied "no sir" to
all inquirers. To put ourself right we
will state that that article was written
last February, and mislaid until about
two weeks ago, when we found it
among some papers, and came to the
conclusion that its publication would
hurt nobody.
This explanation should satisfy the
most verdant that we had no one ''in
our eye" when we penned it, as politics
and politicians are usually pretty dead
about that season of the year. The
article in question is general in its ap-
plication, and we doubt if the princi-
pies embraced in it can be successfully
controverted. More, when we wish
to assail any one personally we are not
in the habit of doing it by inuendo or
in parallels, but in such way as not
to be misunderstood. However, if in
our innocent way we sometimes make
shoe that pinches some of our read
ers, let them keep quiet, and then no
body will find out that it hurts them.
