An Interview With Benton.
From the Chicago journal. ]

J
John Wentworth has never been able to
find out why or when his old Democratic
friend and colleague in Congress, Governor
William Allen, of Ohio, became rag
money man. A few nights ago, he and
some friends visited a spiritual medium in
this city. After his friends had conversed
awhile with departed spirits, the medium
said:
'Hlr. Wentworth, what can l do for
you?"
"Oh, nothing, said he; Il deal with the
living, not with the dead"
''Have you no one in the spirit-land you
would like to speak with?'
Holding the Journal in his hand, where he
had been reading about the Ohio election,
MIR. Wentworth replied: ''Why, yes, now
that I happen to think of it, let me talk
with the late Senator Tom Benton, of Mis-
souri,"
Medium-Here he is.
Long John-What is your name?
Spirit-Thomas H. Benton, Paterson
atus.
Long John-How do you stand on the
specie question?
Spirit-Same as ever honest money makes
honest people.
Long John-What do you think of our old
friend, William Allen, of Ohio?
Spirit of Benton-He ought to have died
when did.

Fifty years ago this month the first train
Of vehicles was drawn by locomotive over
a road open to the public. This was at Dar-
lington, in England, and George Stephenson
was the engineer, both of the road and the
locomotive. 1t was the beginning of rail
roading, and a semi-centcnnial celebration is
to be had at Darlington on the 9th. The
little line then opened has since been absorb
ed into the Northeastern railroad of England,
an immense corporation, whose capital is
0,0OO, 900, or equal to that of our whole
Pacific railroad, and even that is surpassed
by three other British railroads. The rail-
roads Of the world have all been created
within this fifty years. The United States
have laid the most length in that time, and
about as much as all the rest Of the
world put together. The cost and manner
of building has been the most magnificent in
England, where the per centage of net return
and gross earnings to cost is less than with

Growing Potatoes Unsser Straw.

One of my neighbors last season raised
over 400 bushels OF potatoes per acre under
straw, while the rest Of US in open ground
hardly got our seed back, the summer being
extremely hot and dry His plan is to plant
very shallow Zone or two inches deep in
rows eighteen inches apart, and when the po-
tatoes are beginning to come up. to cover
with straw to the depth of eight or ten inches.
This straw is of most advantage in dry sea-
sons, showing but little if any benefit, and
sometimes positive damage in wet.-Cor.

An HOUR OF DANGER.
Senator Allison and his COmmissfon-
erS Surrounded by 5000 Wild
SavaseS With Loaded Ri
nes-The Escape.
From the Dubuque Qowa) Herald Sept. 2q)

From the Dubuque Qowa) Herald Sept. 2a]
On Thursday of last week Red Cloud, chief
Of the Ogallallahs, failed to meet the Indian
commissioners. The council then adjourned
to Thursday, when Spotted Tail, chief of the
Brules, did not appear. On Friday the COM
missioners, headed by Senator Allison, ap-
peared upon the council grounds. At 2
o'clock, when the commissioners were about
to adjourn, Red Cloud and his chiefs appear
ed. The Indians went into private council
! amongst themselves. There were present
5000 Indians, representing the various tribes
Of the Sioux nation, and they formed a circle
Of 100 feet in front OF the commissioners in
the council tent. The chief, Standing Rock,
being on horseback, was requested to dis
| mount. lie said he would not, as they fear
ed trouble. This was the first intimation of
anything wrong. Shortly it was noticed that
the Indians loaded and cooked their rifles,
and made a circle outside, and entirely sur
rounded the commissioners and the two COM
panies Of cavalry.
Little -Bad-Man, who some days since
threatened to kill commissioner and who
belongs to the northern Indians, was noticed
examining his gun, and mounted on a fleet
horse, he, with several wild nOltherners, kept
riding around in front of and outside the cir
Gle in front OF the commissioners. A detail
OF soldiers and Indians was put to watch
them Finally they complained to Young
Man-Afraid OF His Horses, chief of the Ogal-
lallas, that they were afraid Of the hostile at
titude of the Indians. He removed large
body of wild Indians, who had stationed
themselves in the rear of the troops, and, in
stead, substituted a large body of mounted
friendly Indians.
4 single shot fired would have produced
the indiscriminate slaughter of every commits
sioner and white man present. 1t is hoped
the warlike spirit of the northern Indians can
be kept in subjection. More cavalry has been
sent for, and are daily expected. During the
danger on Friday all the cavalry were to
stand at the head of their horses, but could
have rendered no assistance, as the Indians
were mounted and surrounded them. The
commissioners hopes of making treaty are
not encouraging
A private dispatch was received on Monday
evening by members of Senator Allison's
family, in this city, from him, dated at Fort
Laramie on the 9th. From the date it is to
be inferred that the commission had returned
from the council field and from Red Cloud
Agency, and it is more than probable nego-
tiations had ceased. Mr.. Allison said in his
dispatch that he should leave Laramie for
home on Thursday next, and would probably
arrive here about week after that So all
apprehensions for his safety can be dismiss

the rest of your life here, on the Lime Rock?
Ida Lewis. Well, can't say what I ex-

parents live. am happy and contented as I
am, and don't desire a change.
At this point of the conversation your cor
respondent found that the time he had allow
ed himself for the visit to Ida Lewis was at
an end, so he reluctantly arose and wished
the unassuming, but truly noble little woman
good morning, thoroughly convinced that her
daring and unexampled bravery have not
been exaggerated.

Will Resumption Bring Oh Il Panic:

Some of Our iniiationist friends are very
positive in their answers to this question.
They affirm that all attempts we may here
after make to approach specie payments
must of necessity tend to bring on more or
less of commercial revulson, and to precipi-
tate financial panic. When asked for their
reasons they tell us that resumption cannot
be reached except through currency contrac-
ton. This is very true, but it does not help
them; for the universal experience of the
commercial world proves that contraction of
the currency seldom, if ever, produces
panic in modern times. The fact is just the
opposite. Currency contraction does not pro-
duce panic; but a panic very often produces
a scarcity of currency, because in panic
every man is anxious to hoard that which will
pay his debts
The infationists fail to comprehend the
great revolution which modern enterprise has
effected in the use of substitutes for money.
Checks now take the place of cash, and hun
dreds of millions of debts are cancelled and
paid every week in this city withoutthc use OF
a dollar in actual cash. The contraction OF
the currency, so long as there is no contrac-
ton of credit, will do little else than call in
to operation some of the thousand economies
by which society in modern times economies
money. On this principle it is that England
performs the prodigious operations OF her
commerce with so small a volume of cash.
Although England is at present the great
clearing house of the commercial world, the
volume of money with which she conducts
her exchanges amounts altogether to small
er aggregate than the present volume Of the
currency of the United States.
Our inflationists friends seem to imagine
that they are living in a state of things such
as existed years ago, when payments were
more generally made in actual cash, and
when banking facilities were not so exten-
sively developed as now. Their dread of
currency contraction should be transformed
into fear lest they bring upon the country
the mischiefs of contraction Of credit. II
this happy change could be made they would
soon see that the present intlationist agitation
in this country is raising up serious obstacles
to the revival Of business. 1t is threatening
US with worse evils than are likely to be pro-
duced from any healthy and moderate con
traction of the currency-such as may be
found needful preliminary to specie re-
sumption under the existing acts of Con-
gress. -Financinl Chronicle.

A Beautiful Horse Ruined.
from the Kansas City T.mes.]

[From the Kansas City T.mes.]
Every one who was at the Exposition on
Monday, the opening day, will remember the
chestnut mare Chiquita, who won the two
mile running dash so gallantly, making the
remarkable time of 1871. She was beauti-
full horse, with coat as smooth and glossy
as that Of ladys pet spaniel, an eye as large
and lustrous as fawn's and countenance
as mild and gentle as timid schoolgirls.
She became universal favorite after her
gallant victory, and every one will be panied
to hear that she met with an accident at Kan
sas City on Tuesday that will doubtless pre-
vent her from ever appearing in the speed
ring again. She was matched against Sweet
Bay and Orphan Boy for the $500 purse, and
had taken two heats, though breaking shoe
and coming in slightly lame at the end of the
second. After being rubbed down, she was
brought up for the third heat, which she won
in 1854, thus winning the race in three
straight heats.
To the establishment of all who cheered
the finish made by the superb beast SO hearth
ly, she was pulled up dead lame, being led
with difficulty from the track. Immediately
surrounded by all who were near her, the
cause Of the lameness was eagerly ques-
toned, and when the answer came that she
had slipped shoulder blade, and was prob
ably ruined for life as racer, one would
have thought the injury was inflicted upon
some warm personal friend so mournful
were the comments. Mr.. VIM. Mulkey, Of
this city, the owner of the mare, recently re-
fused S., 900 for her, and permitted her to
run in this race against the earnest protest of
many, who warned him of the danger of the
track, half-mile course being always risky
for runners, and this one especially, its sharp
turns and uneven grades being next to death
to thoroughbreds. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that the mares injury will not, upon closer
investigation, prove SO severe as at first
thought, but certain it is that she will appear
no more upon the track this week.
It is certainly to be hoped that the owners
Of other fine running horses will be warned
by this disaster, and keep them off from half
mile tracks Thoroughbreds are not plen-
ty enough in the West to be sacrificed in this
way.

Trouble Between President Monroe and
Crawford Of Georgia.

Trouble Between PreS1Oent monroe ana
Crawford Of Georgia.
In the seventh volume of the Memoirs of
John Quincy Adams there is curious ac-
count of what came near being physical
battle between President Monroe and Craw-
ford, his Secretary of the Treasury. Craw-
ford was, we believe, man of gigantic Sta
ture. Mr.. Adams heard of this and asked
Southland if he knew anything about it.
He said yes; that one day last winter, on
coming here on business, he found MIR. Mon
roe walking to and fro across the room in
great agitation; that he told him Crawford
had left him; he had come to him concern
ing the nomination of certain officers of the
customs in the northern ports; that Craw-
ford recommended the nomination of several
persons against whom Mr.. Monroe expressed
several objections; that Crawford at last rose
in irritation, gathered the papers together and
said, petulently: "Well, if you will not ap-
point the persons well qualified for the places,
tell me whom you will appoint, that may get
rid of their opportunities. Mr.. Monroe re-
piled with great warmth, saying that he con-
sidered Crawford's language as extremely i'm
proper, and unsuitable to the relations be-
tween them, when Crawford, turning to him,
raised his cane, as in an attitude to strike and
said, ''You - internal old scoundrel!" Mr..
Monroe seized the tongues at the fire place
for self-defense, applied q retaliatory epithet
to Crawford, and told him he would immedi-
ately ring for servants himself, and turn him
out of the house; upon which Crawford, be-
ginning to recover himself, said he did not
intend and had not intended to insult him,
and left the house. They never met after
ward.

FITz-JoHN PoRTER's CASE Gen.
eral Fitz John Porter, who during the
civil war was accused by General Pope
Of disobedienee Of orders. arrested,
tried by military court and dismissed
from the army, has been trying for
several years to have his case opened
for re,hesring. Up to the date Of
the second battle of Bull Run, Porter
had distinguished himself for general
ship and bravery. His delay to bring
up his division in time to take part in
that battle, was alleged to have been
the cause Of Pope's defeat. General
Porter sought to Justify his conduct
for a number of reasons which he as
signed to the Court, but they were
not deemed satisfactory to remove a
suspicion of his disIoyalty. He has
since greatly fortified his defence, and
thinks if he had another opportunity
he could prove his innocence. This
the War Department denies him, for
the annexed reasons:
" No irregnlarity appears in the original
proceedings; he cannot, under the Constitu-
tion, be put second time in jeopardy of
his life, as he was by his first trial being
now civilian, he cannot ask court of in
qniry; and board of investigation would
be an unauthorized body, with no power to
vlndleate. and only capable Of criticising |

RIDICULOUS AND HUMILGATlYG.-Of
all the remarkable freaks which Pres.
ldent Grant has indulged in, and of all
the schemes be has undertaken for the
promotion of his own private interests.
or the emolument of his boon compan-
IONS, there is none which will place
the country IN more ridiculous and
humlllating light, the New York Saaa
thinks, than his authorized invasion of
the Samoan Islands for the purpose of
making an old crony OF his the king of
some thousands of cannibals. A cor
respondent of the Sonoma Democrat,
writing from Steinberger's kingdom,
says that there is not an American
citizen of any standing on the Islands
who does not wish, since the arrival
OF that impudent adventurer, that he
belonged TO any other country than
America. The natives had been hum-
bugged into a recognition of Stein
berger's authority by the most auda.
cious false pretences. They were led
to believe that the United States
would compel restoration to them of
all the land that they had ever SOLD to
foreigners, and this delusion was fos-
tered by an extraordinary naval court
held on board the Ittscarora, in which
the subject of land claims was cousid-
cred. The results of this court are
hidden in mystery, out the suspicion
prevails that the object of the curious
