Still the Democratic orators go on
talking about withdrawing National bank
notes and substituting greenbacks, though
they know there is law; the law creating
greenbacks-which forbids the issue OF
more than $400,000000 of legal-tender
paper, and that we are only about $780,
100000 below the limit now. The Dem
ocratic proposition-is, therefore, to violate
the green back law, and thus break the
contract that the Government made with
the people. The next thing is that the
decision of the Supreme Court affirming
the constitutionality of greenbacks, rest
ed upon the war power only, and that an
issue of legal-tender paper in time of pro-
found peace would be declared unconsti-
tutional by the Court without dissent
ing Judge. There cannot be more green
backs, therefore, without violation of
the law of Congress and of
the Constitution. Sam. Cary is lawyer
enough to know this perfectly we'll, and
every howl that he raises for the substi
tuition of greenbacks for National cur
rency ought to choke him. The Demo
Gratis propose, also, to take greenbacks in
part for Customs duties. This means
that the Democrats do not propose to
pay the coin interest on the bonds; and
that is repudiation in the most fragrant
the country that should be felt by each
of its citizens as a personal shame. 1t

volve US in a foreign war, and our credit
being gone, we could not raise money to
carry it on. We might run little while
on illegal greenbacks, but they would de-
preciate like the Confederate currency.
The infationists also propose the de-
struction of the National banking system
and to substitute for it State banks of

Allen on Noyes.

The Columbus Journal well says: "Peo-
tesy with which Gov. Noyes entertained
the then Governor elect, Allen, will fully
appreciate the following disgusting and
brutal reference to Noyes in Aliens
GAINESVILLE speech. The man who could
under any circumstances utter such SEN
timents shows himself destitute of the
instincts of gentleman; but for Allen,
under such circumstances, to utter them,
proves him to be the same irreclaimable
blackguard that some of our older citi-
zens remember SO vividly, more than
quarter of century ago.

ways carried his wooden leg with him to
show that he had lost that in battle, and
that had not lost any legs in battle;
that all / had done was to make some
speeches against some of the violent ac-
tlons of the Government which laid
far beyond their constitutional power.
But they clamored. Ny friend Noyes
went all over the State with his warlike
wooden leg, calling upon the people and
telling them what great things he had
done in the war. l never made the least
allusion to Noyes any more than if he
had been man who had been born the
day before. l never made the least ref
erence to him, but 1 killed him dead
with one sentence, and that was the only
stroke that 1 dealt him. In answer to
their clamor about the war! the warll

now about fighting, but about stealing,

The New York Times says: Rev. S.
Malone, pastor of the Roman Catholic
Church of SITS. Peter and Paul in Brook
lyn, on Sunday last (Aug. 29) in alluding
to the opening of the parochial schools,
paid warm tribute to the efficiency of
our public schools. He never, he said,
had spoken q word against them, for he
knew the great good they had done, and
the benefits which they had conferred
on the people of this country. Had it
not been for these schools we should not
he asserted, have such a powerful Gov
ernment as that which we now possess.
Notwithstanding this commendation of
our public schools, the reverend gentle
man urged his parishioners to send their
children to the parochial schools. The
Church desired it, and as a minister of
that Church he was bound to obey its
commands. Father Malone evidently
regretted that his clerical position forced
him into a seeming antagonism with the
public schools. He said that as they
could not have q division of the money
for educational purposes, 1T appeared TO
him that there could not be found, in
accordance with all principles of justice
and right, a better system than we now
have in our public schools.
Father Malone takes very sensible
view of the matter, (though dangerous
one for him to express) but what he or
any other Father" may think about it
will have very little effect. The order
has come from Rome; Dele,ada est CARTHAGE,
the public school system of the United
States must be broken up, and the pub
lie funds appropriated to the support of
the Roman Catholic parochial schools, in
which are taught under priestly super
vision the infallibility of the Pope. and

structions Are the American people

The Newark Advocate thinks it strange
that we should call Old Allen "Blather-
ing Bill, "imbecile demagogue," ''irre-
claimable blackguard," ETC., instead of
answering the venerable statesmen's ap-
peals to the people" If Old Bill would
only show himself to be either venerable
or statesman no one would treat him
with greater respect than the writer of
these lines. But when he says that "ev-
cry Federal oficeholder will steal" and
that mo one can get into fashionable So
clety IN Washington unless he is thief
and when he says that the President of
the United States under any great public
exlgency would stolidly refuse to give
any attention to the public duty, and
only says "Babcock pass the Bottle
when Old Bill Allen says such things as
these, we say, he SO puts himself outside
the pale of decency that it would be base
hattery to call him a blackguard. He is
a lying old scoundrel, and he knows he
is. Ii this be treason, turn out the Papal
Guards.-[ Columbus Journal.

of $S, 75.66 to go into the State Treasury.
Now, it should be remembered that the
Penitentiary for the past nine months
has had the largest number Of con-
victs ever before confined there You
will see at a glance that the same num-
Der of guards, the same cost of superin-
tendence, in fact the same expense for
nearly every item except bare cost ofsub-
sistence, would be all that need be ex-
pended; therefore the cost ought not to
be much more for the maintenance than
with less number of prisoners. But the
addition of so large a number to the work
! force ought to have made a material in
crease in the earnings of the prison, and
a still wider margin in favor of the State
between receipts and expenditures
than was made under Republican
management. Instead of this we find
that although the cost of maintenance"
does not include several large items
which are included in the other state
| ment, Gas gas ordinary repairs, etc.) yet
the Democratic management shows diff
ference Of only el ,053,3S as against $2l,-
1861 under Republican management;
and while under Republican manage
ment, there is balance in favor of the
State amounting to $8.l75.66 over and
above all expenses, ordinary and extra
ordinary, including maintenance, repairs,
and heavy expenditure for new build
ings, there is under Democratic misman-
agement, already deficit of $26, 6,653.08
for the first nine months, and the bills are
not yet all inl
But we are not done yet with this mod
ell institution, to which every Democrat
has been pointing with pride, amid the
wreck of Jenners and the crash of Wood
county investigations. Let US look now
at another little matter. The one sole
pretended retrenchment, by our Demo
cratic reform Legislature, was to cut down
the per diem of Penitentiary Directors. |
This vigorous effort at fretrenchment |
ought to have saved the State about three |
hundred dollars q yesr, if the Democratic |
Directors had been as careful as the Re-
publicans were, about squandering time |
at the expense of the State. 1t is not |
much of a saving, even if it had been sue
cessful-but it is such sodsend to find
anything to credit to this Democratic ad- |
ministration that wexlight on this pros
pectlve $500 per annum like duck on |
