that would have been a great advantage
most undoubtedly. But even in that
case We must Of necessity have issued
bonds. How else were we to get the gold
and silverP We had either to borrow it,
or else raise it by taxation. Unless it
can be shown that the immense sums
needed for the prosecution Of the war
could have been raised by taxation the
gist OF our Wetzel county friends argu-
ment goes for nothing, because once the
necessity for borrowing is conceded the
necessity for Issuing bonds must like
wise be conceded, inasmuch as people do
not loan their money either to govern
ments or individuals without taking
note for the same with u promise Of in
terest. So that rs far al Mr., Wostrup's
outCry against bonds is concerned, he
must either show that there was no ne
cessity for borrowing any money to carry
on the war with, or else show that the
money could have been borrowed with
out Issuing bonds to those who advanced
1t.
1t is an easy matter for latter day inan-
cicrs to show that the financial policy of
the war was blundCr. Most Of them are
"wiscr, in their own conceit, than seven
men who can render reuson." To talk,
however, about the feasibility Of issuing
unlimited quantities Of paper money,
without at tho same time providing u
method for funding it, and yet not vir-
tually destroy its purchasing power, is to
ignore the experience of mankind ever
since paper money came into existence,

Alter recess MIR, Evarts continued his
address. He said that a witness was
finally brought, witness OF intelligence
and truthfullness, who had gone in and out
ofTilton's family for a series OF years, the
old family servant, half friend as we'll,
Katie Mcdonald. She was no doubt at.
tached to Mrs. Tilton, but she belonged to
Tilton's side OF the family and was devoted
to Tilton himself. Yet called for another
purpose not one fact was produced by her
to show undue familiarity between Mr..
Beecher and Mrs. Tilton during the long
period OF her observation. No testimony
was given on this point for the simple
reason that no testimony Of the kind
could be obtained. Men and women must
be Judged as men and women even II they
arc abnormal characters. II Mrs. Tilton
was all spirit and no body, and Mr., Tilton
was all body and no spirit no exception
could be made in their favor. He could
not persuade himself that II was
possible that such adultery as was
charged could be practicCd through
two years without exciting suspicion or
discovery by Mr., Tilton-R man Of intel.
leCt, Of jealous character, and Of expert
ence IN the world @ me could as soon per-
suadc himself thatIllton was not SIX lees

On Thursday evening some children were
playing about the pipes, which lay along
The street in sections perhaps thirty
inches In length by len inches In diane.
Ter, and several Of the smallest youngsters
amused themselves by crawling through
them. A four.year.old son Of Michael
Coylc, while inside the pipe, doubled up
one Of his legs and becoming fastened
was unable to move either forward or
backward. The whole nelghborhood was
soon In a state OF CONSERVATION. Men
and women pulled and twisted and pushed,
and tried numerous devices 10 extticate
the little fellow. Finally some sensible
person procured a hammer and broke The
pipe, and the young adventurer was re-
turned to his anxious friends unihjurcd.

ing on the Sabbath after permitting the
sale ofcards, there were more gentlemahly
ways Of carrying out his wishes than
brutally brushing the cards of the tables
without warning, and knocking them out
OF the players hands. Dancing was not
stipulated by the Committee nor asked
for by any one; moreover, there wonld
have been no room for il. As to other
innocent social amusements ut which he 10
bluntly expressed his annoyance, he knew
very we'll beforehand, the party did not
intend to pay him 81 per head for the
pleasure OF holding Quaker meeting for
his own exclusive benefit. The same un-
warrantable vulgarity displayed by the
gallant Captain was worthily initiated by
his steward Mabia, who brutally and
without n word Of notice shut up tho
piano in the face OF party OF ladies and
gentlemen engaged in It's legitimate
use. A spirit equally pusillanimous and
disagreeable was evinced by the neg
lect to place towels in the ladies
cabin, or even single tumbler where.
with to get drink Of water, and
nothing but bigoted mSlignity could
have prompted the Captain to start
on his return trip twenty minutes before
the appointed time, pulling the stage
from under the feet Of a passenger about
10 get on board, and leaving eight others
behind to return to Wheeling by rail.
The trick Of placing the stage at the
Wheeling wharf in such a way as to pre-
vent any one from landing unhurt With
out assistance, was observed by every one,
and his refusal, afterwards recOnsidGred,
to land portion OF tho party at Rltchie-
town, was similar piece Of amiability. A
dozen more incidents might DO cited to
show that the Captain and his immediate
subordinates looked down upon and
treated his human cargo very much as
the Captains Of emlgrant ships did
fifty years ago. As u last touching up Of
the character Of this sanity man, who
blandly pocketed onr money on Sunday
while he frOwned upon us for the sake Of
public opinion, we may be permitted to
refer to an incident quite characteristic
Of steamboat religion. When between
Parkersburg and Marietta, the steamer
Andes was seen ahead Of us, Captain
Anshutz was heard to say something to
the effect that he would rather see the
Express in H. than to permit the Andes
tobeat her to Marietta |!
In conclusion we beg to Say that We
shall, under all circumstances, fully slis-
tain the reporters who have given an ac-
count OF tho disgraceful conduct Of the
Express officers, and that we were only
drawn into this lengthy explanation by
the glNrlng inaccuracies Of yOnr biased
correspondent.
We remain, dear sir,

80 the public can see what they consist Of
As ho presents them they are very vague
and meaningless. The last five lines CON
tain the entire gist Of his whole article,
md the preceding portion had better
been dispensed with MS it shows bis COM
municatlOn to have been dictated entirely
by personal spite and envy. II he
can satisfy the public by distinctly
stating what constituted the "uVud and
cruel treatment the three hundred men,

hands Of Capt. Phil. Anshutz hO will
strengthen his letter, but until he does
this, and presents his grievances plainly
