tion to errors that have nearly resulted
in the bankruptcy of the State. It was
time that the hands that had caused
these errors we're stayed. It does not
mean the ascendanoy Of one particular
set OF men over another, but il means
order and good government. The on.
posite course would breed revolution

Speaking Of the character OF the Go

The negroes having been in the na;o

they are responsible. They have been
deceived; will the people be deceived q

state of things to continue? It cannot
be hidden that there is something rotten
in Denmark. There must he no pro-
missed reformation, bat practical reform.
Ii there be any one in the way of that
reform, ho should be ut once removed
out Of the path and now is the time to
do it. The national Republican party

growing worse.
The question of the Tax payers Con.

people have right to petition under

was bound to hnvo it properly referred.
That petition will be considered and do

AS a strong evidence of the effect of
time in healing old animosities, we note
the receipt by Admiral r. Semmes of an
invitation from post of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Rome, N. Y,
to deliver lecture at that place this
winter, for the benefit of the "Grave-
stone Fund" The letter says: "The
cruise OF the Alabama, or anything that
in your judgment would be of interest, +"
would be acceptable, md that "the
people Of Central New York would ex.
tend to you cordial welcome" We
are confident that the Admiral would be
much pleased to assist in commemorate
ing the gallant dead Of the Union army,
but ex.Confederates have been recon
structed right out Of their boots since
those events sought to bo commemo-
rated. and all have to work pretty hard
to make on honest living. and, as the
Admiral is no exception to the rule, he
cannot spare the time for SO long a
journey.

SMART ROTS.

Two merry Detroit youths were ont for a
days amusement, and INDUCED in freak
which they will be obliged to prove was all
in fua. They were shooting at mark with
revolyers on the city common. An old
picturesque POlander came along, and they
resolved to have some sport with him.
They pr scented their pistols and smiling
ly demanded his hat. OFF came the hat
and fell at their feet. They followed up
their success until they had stripped the
old man of his boots, pantalOOns, coat
and vest. and thought 1t would be a good joke
to send him home in his drawers and shirt
and stockings. He went and was glad to
get away. Then these two merry youths
became frightened at their fun, and paid
another boy two shillings to take the old
maT'S clothes home. The poor old fellow
faiHiel away when he reached home, and
recov+ring from the stupOr it was evident
his mind was gone. His friends informed
the police of what had happened, and the
face. Gus American youths have been ar
rested on a charge # highway robbery.
They did not mean TO he so funny as that,
but sGcceSs is the test Of merit. They will
have to establish the genuineneSS of the
joke before the court.

from Senator Thurman.

CINCINNATI, April IA meeting was
held at Pixies Opera House tonight Of
persons opposed TO the action Of Congress
proposing imitation of the currency. Geo.
+ DAVIS was President. About 800 per-
sons were present. Speeches were made by
Judge Stallo. Hon. Geo. Z. Pugh, G. Row.
land, Richard Smith and TheO. Cook. A
speech by Murat Halstead was read by the
Secretary. Letters were read from Sena-
tor Thurman and Judge HOadley. ResO-
lutions were passed endorsing both Sher-
man and Thurman in their attitude against
imitation. Senator Thurman, in a letter to
a friend in this city, dated April 10, 1874,
says:
"You have seen how greatly my course
has been misrepresented, but L took my
position after long and careful study and
from a perfect conviction of its correctness.
| knew full well how easy it would be to
acquire temporary popularity by joining the
infationists. But l never have done AND
never will do what know to be wrong in
order to acquire unmerited praise. Besides
| cannot disregard the teachings Of that
party to which l have ever honestly be-
longed, and which inculcated from the
yery first day of its existence the doctrine
that iTredeemable paper money IS one OF
the worst evils with which any country can
be cursed. But enough Of this. L shall IN
due time expose the misrepresentation to
which have been subjected and shall then
be content tc leave time and the good sense
of the people to vindicate or condemn"
A committee was appointed to wait on
the President.
