We congratulate our friend Mil.
likan upon his nomination, and hope
he will tell his dear friends why it was
that he was in favor of more money
in 1864 and in favor of contraction
and national banks after that The
farmers of this county would like to
have him explain how it was Reg
lister of last week.
The farmers of this county will not,
in all probability, require of us to
make All explanation of any charge
the editor of the Register may make
against US but if the editor wishes to
know why we were in favor of "more
money in 1861 we simply reply,
that it was to pay the gallant soldier
boys, who had gallantly marched to
the front to save the life of the Gov
ernment, andto pay for necessary pro
visions procured from the farmers,
and munitions Of war with which to
put down the meanest rebellion that
was ever raised against liberaR free
Government. That is the reason why
we were in favor of more money in
1864. Are the reasons not good
| ones?
1t is simply false that we have eve
been favorable to, or advocated cons
traction. We are not now, nor have
we ever been in favor of the contrac-
tion of paper currency. We are op-
posed, however, to any system that is
subject to sudden expansion and con
traction. We want something that is
permanent; something that is steady
and that when it is in the possession
of the farmer, or anybody else, they
may know that it is worth the stand
ard value of money all over the world
We want something that cannot be
kicked about like a football by poll
ticians at every annual election, wheth-
er it be by expansionists or contrac
tionists. Let US have plenty of money
and let us have that which shall be OF
equal value all over the country.
AS to National Banks, we arealways
glad to get as much of that kind o:
currency as we can in Legitimate
course of business acquire; but for
tune has never smiled upon us in a
way that enabled US to be stock
holder i'll any bank whatever, and we
are sorry for it, for we are not unlike
! other men, who like to be in posses
sion of good share of the good things
of this world, and think it no sin ever
to be stookholder in bank.

The Democratic party are trying
to make the financial question the
hinge upon which hangs ali their
hopes of political success in this cam
paign. They clamor for more money
without having the wherewith to COM
mand it. s'More Greeabacks ~ they
ay,and with this cry demand the cleo
ton of VIM. Allen and the rest of the
Democratic ticket, as if their election
would insure pockets full of green
backs to all the people. They made
the same argument two years ago, and
elected their ticket; but did they sue
ceed in making money plentiful? We
need only to take their own statements
to show that although they have had
control of the State government fol
two years, they have not succeeded in
adding dollar to the volume of cur
rency.
The question of issuing more green
backs is one beyond the control o
State officials; they have no power il
the matter, as that belongs exclusively
to Congress and the Executive. Gov
ernors or Legislators have nothing tt
do with the issuing of National Banl
currency or Greenbacks; and so far a
the question Of more money is con
cerned, it matters not whether Gov
ernor Allen or General Hayes is elect
ed Governor, neither of them wi
have power to expand or contract tn
currency; it is a national question
and no mere State government o
State Legislature has anything to dc
legally, with it,

- 1t is said of Thomas H. Benton
the great apostle of Democracy in the
West, in his day, that he was so op-
posed to paper money, or rag money,
as he always called it, that he would
not receive it in payment for his ger-
wees as q. S. Senator, but always de-
silver.

Trying to Dodge an Issue.

There is a spasmodic effort being
made by the Democracy to direct the
attention of the people from the fact
that the party has pledged itself to the
Catholic Bishopry of the country,
to Legislate in favor of such measures
as may be required of them by the pa
pal authorities, and you may rely up
on it, that the Catholic voters of this
State know. what they are about when
they pledge their votes to the Demo
cratic party. Does anybody, with
half an eye, fail to see that there is
an alliance between them; that for
their votes they are to be rewarded,
and that the Gehan bill passed at the
last session of our State Legislature,
is simply the payment of one install
ment on the contract.
That the Democratic party has sold
themselves as party, body and
breeches, to the Papal authorities of
the country, we present the following
good evidence:
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE DEMOCRATIC
CONTENTION
We have a prior claim upon the
Democratic party. The elements COM
posing the Democratic party in Ohio
to day are made up Of Irish and Ger
man Catholics, and they have always
been loyal and faithful to the interests
of the party. Hence, the party is un-
der obligations to US, and we have a
perfect right to demand of them, as a
party, inasmuch as they are in control
of theState Legislature and State gov
ernment, and we, by both our means
and votes, placed them were they are
to-day, that they should, as a party
redress our grievance [Gehan's Let
ter to Murphy.
The political party with which nine
tenths of the Catholic voters affiliate
on account of past services that they
will never forget, now controls thu
State. Withdraw the support which
Catholics have given to it and it will
fall in this city, county and State a
rapidly as it has risen to it's long los
position and power. That party i
now upon trial. Mr.. Gehan's bill will
test the sincerity of his profession
Catholic Telegraph, under supervis
ion of Archbishop Pursell.
The Democrats who dared to vote
against the Gehan bill, ,at the commant
Of the Catholic Church, have this no
tice served upon them by the Catholi
Telegraph
WHEN ANY OF THEM APPEAR IN tn
POLITICAL ARENA WE WILL PUT UPON
THEM A BRAND THAT EVERY CATHoL1,
CITIZEN WILL UNDERSTAND.
Well, the Democrats in the Obi,
Legislature did not nor dared not vot
against the bill.
The same paper says;
1t will be glorious day for Oatho
lies in this country, when under tn
laws of justice and morality, ou
school system shall be shivered t
pieces. Until then modern pagan isl
will triumph.
Now, there is no use of the Demo
cratic papers trying to deny the
pledged obligations to 1.-THE Catholi
Bishops, and they need not try to di
vert the minds of the voters of thi
county, or of this State, by maxim
their whole fight on the currency ques
ton, question that neither State no
county officers can have anything t.
do with; question. that belongs t
Congress and the Executive to settle

= Mr.. GresvenOr in his speech, a
few days since, among others made
the following good points:
'"The real desire of this Democrat
ic faction is not so much for more
as for poorer currency. The kind we
have does not please them, because it
is worth too much"
Another:
"Governor Allen says that the civ
lized world uses credit instead of
coin. Is it possible that the innocent
old gentleman does not know that the
world uses credit only for the transfer
but never for the measure of values 4?
He is distressed because there is not
coin enough in the whole world to
make the payments of modern com.
merce. Must he have a string mile
long to measure a mile ?''

A sensible Coroner.

The subject of the following notice from
the Hartford COurant, was formerly res
ldent of Rutland. Coroner Crazy, who
has been an officer for nearly two years,
has performed the duties of his position in
an efficient and sensible manner. Instead
of summoning jury of inquest in cases
where the cause of death has been per-
fectly apparent, he has exercised careful
judgment and saved considerable expense
by calling in jury only when the circum-
stances actually demanded it. 1t is re-
freshing to find public officer who has
more regard for the interests of the city
than for the fees which attach to his office,
and these fees may be made to amount to
considerable If a coroner insists upon Ju-
ries and post mortems in every case to
which his attention has been called. With
in the past three months not a jury has
been summoned, though a number of cases
have been reported, including one of sui
eide, in every one of which an excuse might
have been found to make expenses, but in
none of which was there any necessity for
any further action than was taken. A cor
oner who does his business so well is de-
serving of credit, and his example is good
one for his successors in office to follow.

To the Public.

On Friday evening about eight o'clock,
Officers Perkins and Sadler called at my
residence, No. Edison street, armed with
a warrant issued by Justice Henry w. Por-
ter, on the complaint of Joel NJ. Haven,
j. b. Mecker and Edwin Benner, tor the
search of my premises for liquor They
made thorough search of my cellar and
barn but found no liquors, casks or any
thing pertaining to liquor. | know of no
cause for this search, as | had nothing
about my premises except the goods and
property of my unfortunate neighbors who
had been burned out three barrels of po-
tatoes, part of two barrels.of apples and
a part of barrel of cider, the property of
Harrison Hyde, which had been brought
into my kitchen to keep from freezing.
desire to say to the public that have IN
no way or form been connected with the
liquor business since the first of March,
1874, and know not why my premises
should have thus been invaded by the Off
GERS of the law, because l had opened my
doors to shelter and protect my homeless
and houseless neighbors and for the protec-
ton of their property. Both officers who
came to my residence have asserted that
they had no reason to believe that had
liquors secreted in my house or about my
premises.
This statement is made that the public
may understand the circumstances and re
lieve me from the rumors which have beer
pul anoat because of the search of m,
premises. VARNuM w. WmTooMn.

An expedition for this purpose, under
the charge of Prof. f. V. Hayden, has re-
Gently returned, and from Mr.. William Ii.
jackson, of Washington, the artist photo
graphic who accompanied the expedition,
we have received series of views illustrat-
ing the trip. They are from the regions
of New Mexico and the Rio Grande, and
comprise ruins, rivers, lakes, rocks and
mountains. Each picture seems to have
been admirably chosen, and would form a
subject for painter. AS specimens of
photography, we think they excel anything
in landscape work we have ever seen made
IN this country Aside from the interest
they possess in plcturing scenery In our
own country, of which heretofore but little
has been known, they are most excellent
artistic studies, and we congratulate Mr..
Jackson on his success. He has reached
standard Of excellence that we have often
witnessed in some of the best European
work, but have sighed for in vain In Amer
lea until now. With this evidence OF the
capabilities of American artists, we may
safely predict that it will not be long ere
we shall lead the world in the field, as VIC
are already doing in the studio. --Philaoel-

THE DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.


WASHINGTON, Jan. II,
The time is not yet fixed for the proposed
consultation of leading democrats, number
ing in all between 30 and 40. Ex-Gov.
McClaflin, Rcverdy Johnson, jeremiah NJ
Black, Herman of New York, and Eaton of
Connecticut, are named as among them.
None of the present members of congress
have been invited to its conference. The
object is TO consider the present condition
of political affairs, and what should be done
in the event of a called session of congress.
Their action in my suggestion would then
be reported to democratic members elect
according to the determination of the re-
cent caucus,
TEE DISTRICT GOVERNMENT BILL.
Owing to the sholtness of the session and
the pressure of other business it is not
supposed that congress will definitely act
on the bill providing for a government
for the District of Columbia but continue
the present temporary arrangement with
such necessary legislation as its financial
affairs require
THE SOUTHERN COMMITTEE.
Representatives Geo. +. Hoar, Frye and
Wheeler of the committee on the south,
will not start for New Orleans till to-mor-
row night.
PINCHBECR
is expected here Tuesday. Prominent re-
publican senator's say that Pinchbeck will
be admitted to q seat in the senate.

fruit just starting out, and also a cluster of
full-grown nuts to the number of nine, all
weighing fifty pounds; leaf from the
cactus tree, twenty nine feet high, three
other specimens of the same leaf, one from
tree which covers seventy-five square feet
and another from tree eighty feet high (;
two branches of the date palm six leaves
from the MANILA plant, together with the
blossoms-the plant growing from fifty to
sixty feet high, and is much admired.
