1t has been discovered that rattlesnakes
will extirpate the potato bug. The remedy
will commend itself 20 those who have
thought of bringing the Democrats into pow
er, in order to correct abuses in the Republic
can party.-Prouidence Journal.
Hdrper's Weekly remarks of the New
York Republican platform :-"But there is
no uncandid shrinking from pledge of hear
ty support to every public officer who is fight
ing with robbers and fraud. If Governor
Tilden will be equally just and frank in his
recognition of the fact that Republican at
torney general began the war upon the canal
ring, and that Republican legislature pro-
posed the constitutional amendments which
prevent in future the extra allowances which
have been the great leaks in the treasury of
the state, he will show spirit as generous as
his political opponents. We reSeat what we
said last week, that public robber is public
enemy, and pursuit of him is duty in which
party feeling should be subordinated to the
general welfare. In every important and Ell
fective step of reform Governor Tilden may
count on the hearty support of the Republi-
cans"
The Columbus (Ga.) Times is frank enough
to admit that s'the South has not lost the hope
of restoring the ancien regime" And the
methods by which this hope IS expected to
find fruition are beginning to unfold them
selves, too.
Governor Allen takes great pride and salts
faction in saying that in the whole course of
his life he has done nothing which he now
regrets, and said nothing that he would
take backs We may therefore justly conclude
that he still holds to the following sentiments,
uttered by him in 1868: 'Lincoln has shed
enough blood to float the Great Eastern, and
how much nearer the end does he get? His
cry is still for blood. The Administration
stands on tip-toe every day, with its eyes dis
tended and its arm stretched forth, calling
for more blood and more money. And their
preachers-those Chicago priests who went
to Detroit to get Lincoln to bite at the for
hidden fruit, to commit the first act, the ini-
tial sin by the publication OF an act emanci-
paiing the slaves. ."-Ohio State Journal
The pledges oil. the Democracy are false as
dicer's oaths. The Louisiana Bourbons are
now concocting plot to break the Wheeler
compromise and get the next Democratic
House of Representatives to Ieorganize the
McEnery Government.
The Democrats of Ohio are becoming
known as the foul weather party. Every day
of sunshine helps the crops along, and makes
it more difficult to point moral on the suf-
ferings of the poor farmer. With good crops,
there will be no more complaint of bad times
10 the rural districts.

The Nation il its business review of the
week says that the rise in gold was due to a
combination of causes. In the first place, the
amount of gold in the New York market has
been so reduced that it is within the power of
specuators-to control it, and this power they
have acquired. Their original purpose was
undoubtedly to hold the market and dictate
TO borrowers such terms as they would pay,
or to sell them what was wanted, if they got
tired of paying high rates each day for use, at
an advance on the cost of the gold. Such a
purpose was generally understood by bank
ers, and, before it was developed, foreign ex-
change became weak, as bankers naturally
pressed their bills for gold, and buyers, rath-
er than buy bills, held their gold 10 lend.
While this was the condition of the market,
news came that the Democratic State Con-
vention of Pennsylvania had, following the
footsteps of the same party in Ohio, declared
in favor of the continued use of irredeemable
paper-money. Naturally, this attack on the
public credit created alarm, and there were
free buyers of gold among people who had no
interest in or sympathy with the original
speculation. Should the States OF Pennsylva-
mia and Ohio be carried by the Democrats
with such declarations on the currency ques-
ton, an irreparable injury will be dealt the
public credit, and, indirectly, corporate and
private credit all through the country. Eu-
rope fortunately has not yet taken the alarm,
probably regarding the action of these two
state conventions as exceptional, and not re-
hecting the sentiments OF majority of the
people Of this country. 1t requires no proph
ct to foresee the result of Democratic victory
in these two States next month, particularly
in view OF the influence they may have on
Presidential nominations.
