In Labette County; about twelve miles
east of this town, yesterday, a double
tragedy was enacted On the previous
night, John R. Pierce, a school teacher,
slept in the house Of his fat~her-in-law, An
thony Amen, with his (PIerce's) little child.
In the night the child was sick and troub-
leacme, and Pierce was SO rough IN the
treatment Of the little sufferer that his ia
ther-in-law, Amen, demonstrated. The
next day Pierce approached Amen and
said, "D-n you,you have reported that
Twas trying TO smother my child, and now
YOU must take it back or [ will kill you
right here.
Amen replied that he had not given cnr-
renew to such a report,a and would not take
il back as he had nothing TO take bac6.
Thereupon Pierce drew his navy revolver
and shot his father-in-l law through the
breast. In the evening Mr. Amen died.
The murderer fed and concealed himself IN
grass: but q vigilance committee found his
hiding. pIace, and took him before the JUS

the trial was commenced, men on horse

dent of that paper, who had set forth the
Carpenter view. DR.. Curtis's views are
not wholly in accordance with those OF
some of his eminent professional brethren.
Neither do they entirely agree with each

mainly a scientific interest. Practically,
it makes little difference whether a home

The Coming Revolution.

from trenton true American kOohJ
The revolution of which Ohio struck the
keynote last fall progresses. New Hamp-
shine led the way in the campaign of 1874,
and Connecticut follows with a victory
still more decisive. In the latter State
the Adminlstrationists may be said to
have met their Waterloo. They are not
merely defeated. They are routed. They
have lost every thing, and are IN the CON
dition of an army that has not only been
driven from the field, but 30 badly pun
ished in retreat that they have lost all
their munitions, and are utterly unable to
rally. The revolution will so on, growing
in strength as it progresses, until it has
swept totally from power the party that
has disappointed every just expectation OF
its adherents, and alienated from its sup
port every citizen who values good gov
eminent.

h Down-HiII Road

It is one of the curiosities of history
that no nation has ever prohted by the
experience of others in the matter Of ire
deemable paper money. One after another,
each has ventured upon the experiment
each has considered itself an exceptional
case; and all have eventually shared the
same inevitable fate of bankruptcy, unless
stopped in midcareer by the exercise Of
despotic power. We have entered upon
the came career, which has and can have
bat one ending. We have begun by de-
claring that credit is capital; that a prom
Use TO pay money Is money itself; and that
as there 10 no limit to credit of that sort
there can be no limit to the capital thus
created. How long this delusion will find
support in Congress; how long the Amer
lean people 7sill clutch the shadow and
think they hold the substance; how long
the business of the country will be involv-
ed in the uncertain, a~nctuating, but Tor
ever depreciating, values of an irredeema-
BILE currency, are questions to be solved
by time; but unless we turn soon the end
IL inevitable. 1t seems now that q return
to specie is to be postponed indefinitely,
and is only to be reached over the ruin OF
the commercial and industrial interests OF
the whole people. Happy will the coun-
try be if il can pass through such q crisis
undisiurbed by internal stIlfe or external
war. Should either of these calsmities
overtake the country during the period
that it is passing through the plague and
d~eaolation of irredeemable paper, when
mems minds are unstrung by q sense of
injustice suffered, and their morals de-
hsached by injustice committed, the grav-
est consequences may be looked for. The
evil example of this issue of $4,000. 900
already casts its shadow before. Men
who have money hug 1t tighter than ever
because they don't know what they are to
be paid in. A few months will roll around
and then as no benefit has been realized a
fresh demand will be made. If this IS
yielded another will come. Meanwhile
Nreign nations will lend US nothing. Most
likely they will demand what they have
already lent. This will cause a further
demand for shinPlasters. But We need
not continue the picture. When the pro.
iect of imitation was first mooted we said
that for mere purposes of education it
would be worth while to have greenbacks
multiplied indefinitely but for the tremen-
dous interests involved in it. w repeat
it. No nation has ever learned this lesson
save by its own experience; but when it
has once had the experience it has never
for0ottan il.

Currency.

The sentiment of both houses of Con-
gress has been recorded upon the question
Of an increase of currency, and irmatively.
The propositions in the respective branches
of the national legislature, although not pre-
cisely similar, contemplate the increase of
the national currency to 100000, OOO.-
This will make circulating medium If
enacted into law, of about $500, 900 600.
equally divided between national bank
currency and greenbacks. The business of
the country expanded under the operation
Of about $90O,O0OOOO of currency. It's
employment showed that it was needed and
it was unwise to reduce it down to about
$3.50, 100000. Contracting the basis, had
necessarily TO contract the operations and
hence the revnlsion that occurred When
we consider the vast area Of uncultiya-
ted land and undeveloped mineral wealth.
and the growth Of our population by natur
al increase and immigration, and the conse
quent increase of the industries of the coun-
try. it may be reasonably concluded that
81 ,000,000,000 is not too much.
The prospect for the establishment of the
free banking principle is very fattering, and
should Congress decide to pass law to that
effect, it will greatly contribute to the relief
Of the people and the stimulation of pro-
duction and business of all kinds,
