Financial Schemes,

The discussions in Congress thus far
show only one thing plainly, and that is
thst no scheme looking to an imitation Of
the currency has any chance Of being
seriously considered. There is a decided
change in this respect since last session.
So icciled is the change that it is now
not the most improbable thing in the
world that some plan looking towards a
retirement of a portion Of the greenbaCks
may yet pass both houses before the ses-
sion ends, in connection with q free bank
Ing bill. The Executive Committee Of the
National Board Of Trade have recon-
mended TO Congress TO authorize the Sec.
retsTy of the Treasury to borrow $4OO,-
100000 in gold when he can get it at At
and 4 per cent. With this he shall retire
aCd destroy $66.0OO,0O0 Of greenbAcks,
leaving $3l6,O00000 in existence as legal
tender currency, to be sustained at par by
redemption in specie whenever they are
presented, and we presume paid out again
whenever the necessities OF the Treasury
require it.
The Washington correspondent oI the
New York Graphic says that those who
were formerly inlstionists in Congress
begin now 10 favor repeal Of the legal
tender clause on tho ground that repeal
will help business by inducing people 10
put greenbacks In circulation instead OF
boarding them. Hc says that the intla-
tjonIs's are satisfied that adding 10 the
currency would not revive business. There
isplenty Of paper money now,and the only
hope Of its entering the channels Of bus
ines3 lies in an assurance being given that
stsomC time IN the future 1t will be dis
credited as legal tender, and quoted at
discount with reference TO gold. Once
insure tho decentralization Of this paper,
and at once it will be used in productive
enterprises. The only way in which pa
per money can stimulate business is in
the certainty OF its depreciation; this
makes every one who has it anxious 10
part with it for stable property. Hence
y rise in prices; hence the rapid passage Of
notes from hand to hand.

The cause oI the delay In pronouncing

The Railroads.

The Wall street quotations this morn
Ing show lower prices for railroad stocks
including the Lake Shore road, which is
an important link in the Vanderbilt
system Of roads. There are rumors in
New York affecting the ability OF the
road to earn a dividend this current elk
months, owing, in part, to the forced re-
duction in rates between Chicago and the
East by reason Of the attitude oil The Bal.
timoro & Ohio road. As matters now
stand there Is no telling how soon a fur
ther reduction may take place. Indeed,
arattliug war between the Saratoga syn
dicate Of roads and the Baltimore & Ohio
may take place any time. The Saratoga
combination has made some reductions in
freight from Chicago eastward, but the
Baltimore Company so far refuses to
change its tariff but It allows rebates, and
the combination cannot meet this policy,
as the allowance oi rebates or drawbacks
Is prohibited by the Saratoga agreement.
The only thing the united companies can
do is to reduce their tariffs. The Balti.
moro Company moves, as It were, in the
dark, while the others have to show their
hand.
Unless the Saratoga combination falls
to pieces, we are likely to witness before
many months tremendous struggle for
the traffic between Chicago and tide
water. The Baltimore road has rejected
all propositions to enter into the contract.
This was formed 10 keep rates up, and as
soon as the B. & o. road commences cut.
ting under the fun will begin. 1t will be

widow OF the late Alexander Campbell
OF Bethany, W. Va, now resides near
Wheelets, Station Lawrence county,
Alabama. with a married daughter, and
that, in conversation, she demurs to the
nomenclature sometimes given BY the

communicate. She ssyst that he never in.
tended 10 insugurate sect, and never
desired that the Christian Church should
be called DR.. Campbcll's Church, or Its
communicsntsIC ICampbellItes. "His grand
and sole object was 10 enlighten his tGl-
low men upon the teachings Of the Saviour
and HIS apostles, and TO bring them back

all Christians upon one foundation, and

Reported Hanging by n Vigilance
COmmiIIeC,

DE8 MONIES, December I0.-An uncon.
tirmed report was spread here this morn.
ing that the vIgiIants hung George
N. Kirksn near Peoria City, twenty. eight
miles from here. II seems that .Kirkan
and his wife had quarreled to such an ex.
tent that they separated, she residing now
with her son.in.lsw, Mr.. Seinsmaster.
Kukan, in revengeful mood, Monday
night, fired Seinsmaster's barn, which,
with considerable stock, implements and
grain, was destroyed. On Tuesday night
a large band visited him, making threats
of violence, which, however, were not
executed Kirkan has, since that time,
threatened Seinsmastcr, which has exas-
perated the vigilants, who, 1t is reported
hung him last night. Two reporters Of
the STATE Register have been sent to the
spot, There is great excitement and anx.
ietY here to learn the truth OF the report.
There is no railroad or telegraph commu.
nication within less than fifteen miles Of
the place.

The Wheeling & Lake Erie Rail-
way.
From the Toledo Commercial of Frlday.]

From the Toledo Commercial Of Friday.1
In addition 10 information already
given, we learn that the Directors Of this
Company, at their meeting at Norwalk
on the 10th, permanently located the road
from Lodi TO Milan, and directed work to
be commenced on the Western Division
within ten days. The point chosen for
commencement is the farm OF Nelson
Brown, between Norwalk and Milan.
The line is yet open for competition be-
tween Toledo, Sandusky and Huron,
Sandusky at the last report not having
filled her amount OF 100000.
Work is progressing on the road. Over
Is miles from Lodi, south, is about ready
for the ties. The required $1,000 mile
of local aid Is fully subscribed from the
coal fields TO Milan. Mr.. Stanley will be
present 10 push the work, as soon as the
amount is completed, to either of the
three Lake points named. He is yet dc.
tanned by his business East, but several
letters were read from him showing the
utmost confidence in the enterprise. The
third annual report OF the enterprise will
soon be published.
Up to Thursday morning Sandusky had
$SS 900 toward the 100000 TO be raised
to SECURE this road, and the balance, no
doubt, has been raised ere this.
In relation to the above subscription oI
Sandusky, we learn from Judge Cochran
that he received advices on Saturday to
the effect that she had more than raised
the amount required at her hands.
1t does not follow from thiq, however
that the road will actually go to San
dusky, but simply that raising 100000
places her las prerequisite) in condi-
ton to be lavorably considered by the
road as terminal point.

from one that was there that the lecture

the most happy effect. Ihave heard but
one opinion expressed, and that Is II was

and we advise all who wish good seats
TO purchase their tickets before hand.
Our Street Commissioners are having
our board walks repaired. This may be
Tor the accommodation Of those who don't
expect TO be able TO navigate during the
holiday season. We have many such in
Moundsvllle, and it is no more than right
that our board walks be kept in good re.
pair for their benefit.
We notice that the new building being
erected by Mr. Jobes is approaching com.
plelion. 1t will be quite an addition TO
that part OF town and will be good stand
for business.
we see many country people in town
today. Many OF them arc purchasing
toys ior the little folks at Christmas time
This goes to prove that Santa Claus does
not contine his visits TO the town and city,
but that the country children will also be
the recipients Of his iavors.
Our sheriff is receiving daily visits from
the punCtual ones who are anxious and
willing TO pay Their taxes-espccially
when percentage is deducted.
The regular services will be held in all
our churches to morrow. Meeting is held
in the Disciples Church every two weeks,
on Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday
night. Rev. Wilson, their new pastor, is
well liked by all who know him,
1t is the intention at present, il nothing
occurs TO prevent it, for all the Sunday
Schools to meet together at one Of the
Churches on the last Sunday evening oI
the year, TO have a review Of the lessons
of the last quarter. This is certainly
move in the right direction. We want
greater unanimity, both Of feeling and
work in the Sunday School cause.

was largely attended.
