THE CoUNTERFEITERs.
Irregularities by the Court in
their Trial.

Gov. Brown and Capt. Taliaferro,
of counsel for Col. Gordon and 9th
ers in the matter of the alleged
counterfeiting,r from Hunts
vile on Tuesday last, whittier they
had gone to attend the trial, which,
however, was postponed until the
May term of the U. S. Court.
We understand that the indict-
ment is so framed that it will apply
to counterfeitirg perpetrated in Or
egon as well as in Florida, in Maine
as well as in Texas, or in either of
these four States, as readily as in
Tennessee or Alabama And that,
contrary to all established modes OF
procedure in such cases, there are
no witnesses endorsed on the indict-
ment. In a word, that this paper is a
model of vagueness, and worthy the
celebrated star chamber of Henry
the sth of England.
We read in the Acts Of the Apos-
ties, 'If the court please" that the
Roman Governor, Festus, heather,
administering for Imperial Rome,
and in the trial of despised Jew, at
the court of Caesarea, recognized
certain constitutional rights as be-
longing even to Paul, prisoner at
his bar, and these he emphasized in
his consultation with King Agrippa
relative to PauPs case. Acts Is
10th and 9th verses.
If we are correctly informed as to
the proper framing of an indictment
under the constitution of the u. s..
it should embrace the two principles
laid down by this heather Prince, as
attaching, inalienablv, to the prison
er at his bar, namely, 1st( 10th yer.
that "he which is accused have the
accusers face to face;" whereas, the
accusers are not named in this in
dictment, and, End, that the indict
ment must signify withal the crimes
laid against him." as to time d pE0e
of preparation, which this indict
ment fails to do. Such was the jeal
: ousy of heather Rome for the right
of her accused subjects, 1850 year
ago. Does the world move? If SO
which way, progressively or retro
gressively?
We select this case, not becaus
the record in which it is found i
current authoritysfor modern tribu
nails, but because of its great anti
guilty, and because further, it serve
to illustrate the vast strides of tn
worlds progress in nearly two thou
sand years.

The benefits which a railroad Sc
cures to a town has been illustrated
by the sudden prosperity and in
creasing ofpopulation of the town
Of Gainesville, Georgia, through
which the Richmond and Atlantic
airline road passes. The road has
been completed only two years, and
in that time the value of town prop
erty has increased from $50, 900 to
$3.50, 600; the trade, which former
ly amounted to but $4,000; annu-
ally, is now estimated at 100000;
the assessment of the county in
which Gainesville is located has
risen from $4,000, to $4,000, 600
and the receipts of cotton have in
creased from eight bales to over FIVE
thousand; while the population OF
the town, which was only three
hundred and fifty when the railroad
commenced, now numbers twenty.
FIVE hundred, and is daily increas
ing.-Memphis Appeal.

Within the last few years it has
been discovered that cotton can be
successfully cultivated in Califor.
MIA. Some farmers in the SAMOA.
quin valley have raised from one
quater to four bales per acre, SOC
pounds to the bale, and this on land
which was not irrigated. The Chi.
nese will pick cotton at one cent per
pound with board, or one and one
half cent without their board. The
cost Of planting is from five to seven
cents, but the freight on cotton to
San Francisco is so high from the
eOtton-prOducing districts that
there is no money in it.-Cour.

One hundred and fifty millions OF
dollars is sent to Europe every year
to pay interest on our Indebtedness.
More than one-third goes out in
coin, the rest in new bonds or in
some other form. Thus it is that
with the cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar
and naval stores of the south sent
abroad to maintain the balance Of
trade keeps the country poor. Yet
with these plain facts before them
there are those who persist in the
foolish cry of specie payments
Specie payments, when there is no
chance of earning the specie to pay

Pittsburgh Post, Dem, says
Even il Allen has been defeated by
majority of even 10000, it is a
triumph for the Democratic doctrine
of Authorization and anti-forced
resumption. The Democracy had
to fight the National banks, the
bond holders, Wall street, and the
recreant New York World. With
all these forces combined it is in
deed wonderful that majority
against Allen was not $4,000. Here
in Pennsylvania we do not feel dis
couraged. We feel assured that
Pershing win sweep the State in
spite of a reverse Ohio, gained as it
was by the expenditure of$1, 100000
the basest lying, and the importa
tion of alien voters. We still carry
aloft the banner of anti-contraction
and anti-mOnOpoly, and with these
notices inscribed upon onr banners
we will surely win.

In speaking Of the final result in
Ohio, the Knoxville Press and Her
aid says, we note the fact that in "a
counties of the State, the democrats
gained on their former vote, while
republicans gained in "a. Though
defeated, Gov. Aliens vote APP
proaches 100000 as against less
than 215,0OO received by him two
years ago. 1t thus appears that the
democratic vote, this year is from
$4,000 to $4,000 We tss larger than
it was when Gov. Allen was elected.
1t will further be remembered that
Allen, two years ago, was elected
simply by a plurality of SIT over
the republican nominee. The Pro
hibitionist and the Peoples candi-
date each received over 10000
votes, so that there was really pop
ular majority against Allen, two
years ago, of about $4,000.
These facts show how utterly alb
surd is the position taken by one or
two democratic journals that the
position of the Ohio democrats on
the currency question was the cause
of Aliens defeat. Had he not been
supported by the great popular
strength of that question against
the extraordinary combination OF
powerful Influences against him, the
republican boast of $4,000 would
have been more than realized.

We understand the Democracy of
Ohio and Pennsylvania pledges
itself to the adjustment of national
banks and the substitution of green
back currency for national bank cur
rency. Now, there are some points
in the matter that we would like to
have elucidated by the Nashville
American and other greenback pap
ers. When the national banks are
abolished they say that greenbacks
are to be substituted for their cur
rency. How is that to be done?-
West Tennessee Democrat,
Our position on this subject has
been stated time and again. 1t is,
that the national banks should be
required to return the currency loan
ed them by the Government, or for
felt the interest on the bonds depos-
tied to secure their circulation, and
legal tenders, equal in amount to the
currency returned by them, could be
applied to the purchase Of Govern
ment bonds to be cancelled. Thus
the Government could cancel $3.50,
600, 900 of its debt and save the peo-
pie, nearly $20,O0O,00O of annual in
terest. The whole instead of the
favored few, would reap the profits
resulting from the circulation Ofcur-
rency based on the credit of the
Government in the reduction of the
Understanding debt.-American.

With every meeting of the Con
sentative clubs in this county, some
colored men come up and join US.
They say they are completely dis
gusted with the way the carpet-b bag
gers whine around them, begging
them to ''stand by the party" etc.
And it Is known fact that those
who join with US in trying to defeat
the Radicals are of the more intelli-
gent class of the colored popula-
tion. When the election day ar
rives, we don't believe the RAIDS will
be able to poll one single intelligent

The following editorial paragraph
from the American Of Friday con
tains a world of significance to our
farmers:
Meat has advanced rapidly within
the past few days. 1t is not due to
scarcity, but to the speculative spirit
prevailing among the capitalists o.
the North ard West. At the same
time cotton is going down, and the
Southern farmers are compelled u
buy meat which they could better
have raised at home.
