The Best Speech of the Season.

The Hon. WILLIAM ALLEN, the stentoriau
Governor OF Ohio, now candidate for re-
election, at Gallipolis, OH the 2l>t instant
made the following point upon the resump'
ton law. 1t is palpable hit Really the
best yet made:
THAT brings me to another proposition
When you do come to Specic-payments
what do you mean by that Do you mean
that all the existing debts of the country
thousands OF millions Of them, all contracted
upon a basis deprecated fifteen certs on the
dollar, are TO be paid on a certain day by U
specie. bearing standard? Ii you mean that
YOU simply mean an impossibility, come
when specie-pa pay ments may. | pronounce il
AN absolute, an uer impossibility for such
an act to have retrospective effect, and to acl
upon contracts previously made. That acl
must have q prospective effect, with the
single exception Of such Obligations as have
been previously understood 10 be payable
in gold and silver or its equivalent.
All the prtexisting contracts must be paid
in the currency in which they were
contracted. Then apply the act for specie
payments to the debts afterwards to be con.
tracted, and then the people will know what
they are about. II the people who have
borrowed at the rate of cighty.tiye cents on
thu dollar are compelled 10 pay at 100 cents
it will break up every man in the country.

people may have said it before me, and

We published yesterday the financial diy-
sion Of the Governors speech, but the fore
going quotation will bear repetition. The
striking "truth" that the Governor must
tell or "burst" is undeniable. We should
like TO see builonist " face the Governor
with contradiction of it before the people.
There would not be much left Of him. He
would be placed beyond the power of re.

Extract from Mr.. James BueIfs Speech
ar the Bankers Convention.

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen, We are,
all of US, but too apt to get into ruts and to
see things from our standpoint and to regard
all other doxies except our particular doXy
as heterodoXies. Discussion will bring out
different views, and all, We trust, will be en-
lightened. 1t may be that the flint and the
steel shall here be brought together in such
| a manner as to elicit spark that will ilum'
pate our financial horizon so that we may see
the way to specie resumption without COM
mercia conyulsion. Half generation OF the
men who led and controlled public opinion
has passed across the stage since suspension

front, who have, s).to speak, been educated

the same morning, took a derringer piss

his sisters, Mollie and Fannie, drew the
charge from the pistol and retired to bed,
having been up all the night previous az
a ball His sisters, in playful manner,
procured some percussion caps and cOm~
menced swapping them with the weap-
on. After some time younger brother

to load it with ball cartridge with the
expectation of riding out some short dis
lance after nightfall He inadvertently
left the loaded pistol on bureau IN one
Of the rooms Of the house, and the young
ladies seeing the weapon, apparently in
the same condition as they had left it
while amusing themselves, thought that
the swapping of caps would give additions

A Big Changers Fees.

The following extract is taken from
the Christian Cy71oslTe, and credited
to your paper:
"a Grange master in good standing
recently informed a Times missionary
that in his opinion Kelly Il Co., the kids
gloved and siIk-stockinged Changers who
farm in Washington, d. c., had accU-
mulated at least S25O,OO0 cash for dis
pensations, at SIS each, during the last
three years"
If your missionary" would consult q
Grange map, he would fad the above
figures to be much less than those given
by the Changers themselves They there
say, up to last July, "there were $4,000
Oranges. embracing a mem bership of
over , 100000, with an increase of or
CARNATIONS of about , 800 per month. T"
Now, taking these figures, we find in
stead of S250.000 for Interpretations"
We have $50 600 to July last The initi>
alton fees at the moderate estimate of
50 per head amount to 100000 the
ten cent. monthly dues, per annum,
amount to 81, 400, 600 the SIX cent quars
terly dues to the State Grar ges annual.
lY amount to S450,000, besides the fifty
| cents for females, and the dollar for
males. The ten cent. annual dues to
the National Grange amounts to$20O, 600

County Finances.

By reference to the proceedings of the
county court published elsewhere it will
be seen that the Indebtedness of the
county on the lst day of January was
500 90 95 and the amount of uncolleeted
taxes, $I5462, 81.
Now the finances of the county would
be in very good condition indeed, if the
taxes were already paid, but this is not
the case.
While these taxes are being collected
during the present year the current
expenses of the county, which will
amount to about $l2, 900 per annum,
must be provided for This suggests the
enquiry VIII the financial condition
of the county be in any better condition
twelve montl hence than it is now 2
VIII the price cf county warrants ad-
vance during tie year2 We cannot
see from the showing of the financial
agent that either of those things will be
realized.
those who futter themselves that the
the county is about $4,000 ahead are
simply mistaken, and it is no hard thing
to see.
1t is not pleasant to think that coun>
ty warrants are to remain where they
have been for the past year or two,
but with the exhibit before US, we are
not able to see that they will appreciate
in value
The people expected that something
would be done to bring the market val.
ue of warrants up to something like
par but we believe that they are doomed
to disappointment The only thing, it
seems to US, that can possibly appreci~
ate the price of warrants is for those
who have not paid their taxes to call
upon the tax collector promptly and set
tie up, so that the Trustee may have
funds in hand to meet at an early day
the warrants that have been so long
outstanding If this were done aud O
very large proportion of the outstanding
warrants were promptly paid within the
next two or three months, it would in
spire confidence in the public mind, and
as a matter of course our county war;
rants would not be dull on the market
at fifteen to twenty-five per cent dis
count
Will those who are In arrears for taxes
make note of this, and settle with the
tax collector as soon as they can posi-,
bly, do SOP
