Our BANKING SYsTEM.-The plain.
unvarnished truth is, that a proposition
to pay bond with greenbacks is a
proposition never to pay it and the
proposition to destroy the national bank
ing system is a proposition to revive
state banks. This is the whole thing in
nutshell. No civilized people can or
will conduct their commercial transac-
lions without the aid of banks. If the
existing banks are destroyed, others
will take their place. If the national
banks are legislated out of existence
others of different character must soon
spring up to meet the demands of bus.
mess. If we cannot have national. we
must have state banks, as they existed
IN good old democratic times. Some de-

ADDITIONAL FLOODS.

Additional particulars from Indiana

lives lost by the recent food at that
place ia and the loss of property de-
stroyed nearly 100000. The number
of buildings left standing is u. The
ruin and desolation Of the place are de-
scribed as extreme. Houses are broken
down and piled one upon another, among
which the most notable is the wreck of
the Episcopal church lying Immediately
on the bank Of the bayou. This church
before the storm stood eight blocks up
in the heart of the city. Looking down
Main street from the boat it is apparent
that scarcely a house remains intact.
Several immense piles of lumber block
the streets, with the remains of houses
which, few days ago, contained stocks
of goods. The streets are filed indis-
criminately with merchandise and house

PRINCIPLES THROWN OVER
| BOARD.

Free speech was one of the cardi-
nal principles of the Republican party.
In the old slave-holding, ante-rebellion
days thousands focked to its standard
because it was alleged that the Demo
cratic party in those days upheld the
slave power, which prohibited freedom
of speech in the South. Since that
time this principle has been enunciated
in its platforms, both State and ma
tional, and many have chung to the
fortunes of the party, firm i'll the belief
that its professions were not buncombe,
and were really sincere. A change has
now taken place-the party that pro-
claimed the right OF the citizen to ex
press his opinions on every subject
and in every State, has thrown the
great principle overheard, and protests
against q citizen Of the United States,
a man, who, whatever may have been
his otfenses, in the past, is now q peac-
able and law abiding citizen; he is no
fugitive from justice; he has not by
the laws of the country been convicted
of any crime; and yet to day the secret
and semi military wing of modern Re-
publicanism protests against his ad-
dressing a peaceable community on a
non-political subject in one of the
States of the Union. These remarks
are elected by dispatch from Rock
ford, Illinois, where the directors of
an agricultural society had engaged
jeff Davis to deliver an address at the
fair. The announcement created con-
siderable excitement among political
leaders, and the Grand Amy of the
Republic protested against the action
of the Board of Directors i'll inviting
him to speak The motives which in
duced the Grand Army to pass such q
resolution are. of course, partisan; yet
it is impossible to understand what po-
litical significance can be attached to
the delivery of an address at State or
county fair on agricultural matters by
JEFF Davis or anybody else. To this
complexion has the party of great
moral ideas come at last. A man who
is not in accord with the views of its
leaders shall not, if they can prevent
it, be permitted to deliver an address
on any subject. Davis addressed fair
in Texas, and no harm came of it, and
rendered what every candid citizen ad-
mits was good advice to his
hearers. Shall man be deprived
through the influence of a po-
litical organization of principles
in Illinois that are accorded him in
Texas? Has the ante-bellum slave
holding oligarchy of the South been
transformed into the leaders Of the
Grand Army of the Republic?

RocKFoRD, August 10.
The excitement occasioned by D..
Kimball's startling announcement that
jeff Davis would speak at the fair this
year has been growing since Monday,
when the letter of acceptance arrived,
and the publication OF the matter in
the Tribune and Chicago papers was
the first Information that came officially
to the Rockford Freeman. That mo-
ment the excitement became greater,
and the people assume an indignation
that will not easily be allayed unless
JEFF Davis cancels his engagement.
The Grand Army of the Republic
held national meeting and passed u
resolution strongly protesting against
the action of the Board of Directors in
inviting jeff Davis to speak. The ex-
element is not confined to Rockford,
but extends through the county.
