1--WE are told through the public
journals that in the event of any fur

tai i'll the West, the East is prepared to
resort to very extreme measures against
the States so influenced, both as a
means Of self-protection and retalia-

Your Committee would also add a

inaugurated by the Order, Of requiring
public answers to questions publicly
put to candidates as to their opinions
upon the subjects they are likely to be
required to act upon. This is espe.

New FREIGHT RATEs.--The absentee rail-
road grandees who disobey laws and bid the
people defiance, assembled at Saratoga a few
days ago and turned the screw still tighter
on the surplus crops OF the farmers OF Wis
consin, Minnesota, Northern Iowa and Hill
nois. The additional charge we understand
is about a cent bushel on wheat. We have
heard the increase estimated as high as 8
million, or million and a half dollars, that
it will cost to market the farmers crop this
year. and this in defiance of the laws of one
Of the States. Is it not time the States
tested their titles with the roads, and had
the question settled whether they have any
rights left or not Chiesgo Industrial Age.

The nomination of c. P. Ramsdell, esq.
for United States marshal, is a very pleas
ant surprise to us. Mr.. Ramsdell is too
well known in this state to require an in
PRODUCTION. He is a man of integrity,
ability, versatility, and withal a most
agreeable gentleman. We have every
reason to believe that he will make a good
officer. The bestowal of this appointment
upon him was a fitting recognition of his
high qualities as a man and his valuable
services to the Republican party. Such
men as he commend the administration TO
the people, Mr.. Ramsdell will be con-
firmed without opposition.

COLONEL DAVID b. PARKER

The resignation of this gentleman and
the appointment of his successor to the
important office of United States marshal
Tor the Eastern district OF Virginia, have
been simultaneously announced. We
speak the sense of the people of this state
OF all parties when we say that no federal
officer has given more general satisfaction
than ne has done. During his administra-
ton Of the m~arshalship of this district he
has won the confdenc, and esteem of the
intelligent and respectable citizens of all
parties. Entrusted with many difficult, deli
cate and responsible duties, he has dis.
charged them all with strict fidelity, great
ability. and at the same time, with a tender
regard for the unfortunate. We trust
that his withdrawal from the public
service is only temporary, and that
ne may be called to fiji the higher
stations and enjoy the larger honors and
emoluments of which he is so entirely
worthy. The state is safe so long as public
trusts are in the hands of such men as he.
The public is under obligation to such men
when they accept its public work. Colonel
Parker will carry with him wherever he
goes the best wishes of our entire people,
he has so faithfully served. True
and loyal to every good cause and every
righteous principle, we bespeak for him
the largest measure of success and bless

JOKE ON LosDoS.-AR Republican newspaper
IN This state calls our venerable friend Lonion's
Dill /" Colonel Platt's Exchequer bili,'-Dis-
patch.
Well, now that means us, and while we
can enjoy a joke, we don't see any in this
case. The Exchequer bill was introduced
INTO the House BY Colonel Plat, and it is
usual to speak of bills thus introduced as
belonging to the member who has them in
charge. Congressman, like other people,
derive their ideas from various sources.
and it is not to be supposed that every bill
which any member may introduce origi-
mated with him. Colonel Platt certainly
does not claim entire authorship in this
case, as through his introduction. and at
his urgent request, Mr.. London obtained a
hearing before the committee on banking
and currency. But he is the accepted and
responsible father of the bill in Congress.
and he has proposed important amend
ments to it. His intelligent and able adyo.
cacy OF it will be powerfully effective in
securing its passage. When it does pass.

THE rsNANCIAL FsaHT,N eoNeRsss


The Enquirer of yesterday contains
very sound article upon the f~inancia'
struggle in Congress:
"HThe people, the representatives of tn,
people, and the press Of the South ant
West, should be appealing to Congress il
earnest terms in favor of an increase q
the currency. 1t may be too late, per.
haps, for all the influence to be brought
to bear that might have been, and should
have been, made available. But as long
as the contest continues there is occasion,
opportunity and necessity for strengthen
ing the advocates of the cause Of the
people-the men who are contending for
money enough to meet the demands Of the
farmers. the merchants and manufacturers,
whose business is sluggish, lauguid, mac.
tive and Improbable, in proportion to the
want OF the necessary currency to enable
them to exert their energies as they should
be exerted, and to give free rein to their
spirit OF enterprise, so unreasonably and
uneconomically restrained by the contrac.
ton of the quantity of money serving as
the very life-blood of industry.
"And thus it is that the financial fight
in Congress is between the defenders OF
contraction on the one hand and the adyo-
Gates of initiation on the other-sup-
porters of the money-power on that side
and the representatives of the necessities of
industry on this.
when such a state of things exist It
needs no argument to show that the vital
interests of the great body of the people
require something to be done to protect
and promote them. More currency is
the desideratum. Viii Congress supply
it? We cannot but believe so. The cues
ton OF finance, in all its entanglements.
associations and ramifcations, is, we
know, always embarrassing and
dlf1cult Of solution. But in the
practical aspect in which it now pre-
sents itself to the consideration of Congress
it is, or ought to be, too plain to be admjs-
sible of such a division of sentiment az 70
threaten disappointment to the anxious
expectation Of the business men of the
country who are looking SO hopefully for its
determination by the representatives of the
people at the national capital. It is idle,
and worse than idle, for men of ability and
intelligence to attempt to direct the finances
OF Inc country according to any fixed for
mula OF economy, or to make the amount
OF money control trade while trade should
determine the amount of money necessary
TOR its own faeilitation. -
This is sound preaching, and we have been
trying for two years to get our Southern
friends aroused upon this question. We
rejoice that the potential voice of the
Richmond press is on the side of the peo.
pie in this vital struggle. No question that
has arisen since the war bears any COM
parison in Importance with this to the
people of Virginia and the entire South.
Away with all partisanship until the most
odlous and rninous monopoly that this
country has ever seen is abolished, and a
sound and just system of finance takes its
place!
