FRIDAY MORNING {. SEPTEMBER 10
THE VITAL ISSUE.

That tho old sectional party lines
that slavery forced into such bol(
relief, are fast fading before noweI
issues cannot have escaped tho ut
tcntion Of the most casual observer
of passing events. That these
mower issues may draw now lines
and force sections, heretofore II
unison, into antagonsm rs bitter n
that which for years gIoatod over
the mseries that tho South endured
will not be attempted to be denied
Indeed we may expect this result
with all tho confidence that the
facts will warrant. That great
question which is hero referred to
is the future currency policy OF the
United States. The importance Of
this issue, may be inferred from the
stress which has been laid upon it
in all the political platforms which
have OF late courtcd the favor OF
voters in many States. SO great an
interest do tho people Of tho whole
Union take in this debate y that the
idea il not quiXotic that it may in
the end totally obiterato all exist
ing party lines,
In part support Of this conjecture
wo may recite tho fact that the
campaign in Ohio, whore the inaa
ton doctrine is the spirit which an
mates the Democratic ranks, has
already developed tho fact that
numbers of tho oldest and staunch-
est Republicans have given their
unqualified adhesion to Mr.. Allen.
Mr., Blandy, who has heretofore
been an uncompromising Republi-
can, has oven gone 30 far as to take
the stump in tho interest Of tho
Democratic nominee, affirming rs
his reason, that the evils which
would follow the return to specie
payments would fur outbalanoo the
i'll effects of Democratic admins
tration in Ohio, or oven u national
Democratic victory in 1876, Nor
is Mr.. Blandy, alono if we may judge
from tho tenor Of tho papers.
Hundreds Of Republicans open
Iy profess allegiance to
the Democratic standard bearer.
But the Democratic party of the
Fast hold different views on the
question Of initiating tho currency,
Is it not possible that many of them,
manufacturers and monied men
generally, may gradually drift into
the Republican ranks? If this
should be tho result of the present
financial oXcitemont, what would be
the ultimate effect upon the politics
OF the country? 1t seems that the
only natural sequence would bo to
oblitcrato all present party lines,
and bury all present sectional DIFF
forences and leave the great vital
issue, upon which the American
people would divide opinion, in
tho simple solution of the problem,
Imitation or specie payments"
When the question assumes
this phase, the West and
South being agricultural and
ana the East manufacturing, may
not the conflicting interests of these
two antagonistic industries trace
other sectional lines deeper and
moro irradicabIo than the old ones
which owed their rise to the senu.
mont of ant-slavery? Its not nee.
essary now to speculate upon the
far off effects of such division
founded on interest marked out in
geography, But tho near future
will demonstrate that money (hard
or paper) is now "the vital issue"

A BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER
Supposed to be the Remains of Hardy
Hendren, a Vicksburg Merchant.

Hendren, Vicksburg Merchant.
On Wednesday last, July 2lst, Cor
oner Gabrielle was summoned to hold
inquest upon the body Of IL man dis
covered in the river and brought
ashore in trout Of the Souvenir plan
tation of DIR. j. C. Legare, two and Il
half miles above town. An examine
ton disclosed that the body was that
of !, white man whose. height had
been about 5 feet 8 inches. The face,
in common Will, other portions of the
remains, had been almost entirely
eaten away by fishes, and it was im-
possible to judge of the age Of the
deceased. The raiment upon the
body consisted of undelsl,irt and
drawers, Kentucky jean pantaloons
and white linen oversllirt. The feet
were evidently bare when the victim
was drowned, as they were eaten
away. The body had been in the
water some days, and decomposition
was in al advanced stage, which rem
dered it unpleasant business for the
Coroner and his assistants to prose
cute the post norton examination and
effect the burial. The pockets of de-
ceased were searched and the follow
ing articles found therein \ roll of
greenbacks containing $165 Il bunch
of keys, including a night key and !.
safe key white handled four bladcd
knife; IL receiptcd bin of the Vicks-
burg Gaslight Company against Hardy
Hendren, and a receipt for $50 house
rent for the month of July, 1874,
signed by F. Lore, and written Oh IL
bill-head upon which was printed,
+" Hardy Hendren, commission mer-
chant and purchasing agent, Soutl,
side Crawford street, two doors above
Mississippi Valley Bank, Eicksburg,
Miss There seemed little room to
doubt that the remains were those Of
Hardy Hendren, and the Coroner
wrote to the Mayor of Ficksburg by
Thursdays mail. informing that Of
fetal Of their recovery and asking
what disposition should be made of
the body and effects in case the iden-
tity is established by the papers
above mentioned. After the inquest
had been concluded the body was
temporarily placed in shallow grave
aud covered with earth, but ON Thurs
day the Coroner had Il substantial
wooden coffin constructed and gave
the remains more decent burial.
Before our next paper is issued it
will doubtless be known to Il certainty
who the drowned man was and what
were the circumstances Of his death.

A serious and lamentable accident
occurred at the residence Of Mr.. Jos.
Ferrier, in this town, Monday even

of eighteen months, scrambled upon
the supper table and pulled the lamp
over, and was so badly injured on the
face, hands, feet and side by burning
oil that for a time his life was de-
SPARED of; but the little fellow seems
to be improving now, although still
suffering intensely, and it is hoped he
may speedily recover. In rescuing
his child from the flames, Mr.. Terrier
had his hands severely burned.

SCHOOL EXHIBITION.-The exhibit
ton by the pupils of the public school
taught by Miss A. NJ. Woods, came
off Thursday afternoon, Us previously
announced, at the school room in the
old Methodist church building corner
of Railroad Avenue and Opelousas
street. The benches set apart for the
accommodation of visitors were
crowded, and 4 number of persons
unable to obtain seats were compelled
to stand during the exercises. \ ma
.jority Of the spectators were ladies,
mostly relatives of the pupils, but
several prominent citizens were i'll at
tendance, including two members of
the School Board. Prof. Heating and
a number of his scholars were there,
and the latter applauded every reci-
tation, dialogue and song with en-
thusiastic impartiality. Every thing
passed off nicely, and tn the credit Of
all concerned. The pupils are all
very young, few being more than
twelve gears # age, bit they sus-
tanned their allotted parts in !, man
ncr worthy of older and wiser heads.
As tic programme is comparatively
