Speaking OF the charge OF salary
grabbing so dishonesty made by the
Democratic press against Gov. Kirk
wood, the Chicago tribune, the
fiereest of all denunciators OF sillary-
grabbers, says: Everybody famii-
lar with the facts knows that The
salary act of 1866 was not ''grab''
at all. 1t was passed ny congress In
the first session, and the men whe
voted for ii went to their constitu-
ents on their record. 1t was Il very
different thing from the rascally and
cowardly grab of the forty-s~cond
Congress, which was consunimated
by the votes of men who We're soon
tv retire to private life."

MT, Eltlott, III HIS SHNSCikA nv
Wheeling aud other points in the
county, told his hearers that VA
tional bank notes iost By nccfdentHfe
gain Ia the banker" and that ''if a
man holds $4,000 in the bills of the
Marion County National Bank, and
the bills are accidentally burned, it
would be Larkin Wrighps gain; If
| the bills were greenbacks the gain
would be to the government" If
Mr.. Elliott knows anything of what
he talks about he knows that the
gain is to the Government in ease of
| loss or destruction Of a National
bank bill, just as it is in case Of loss
or destruction of greenback.
When National bank suspand5
or goes into liquidation, or Is abol-
ished in any manner, the Govern
ment holds the bonds by which the
bills are secured until the whole
amount of the bills issued by the
bank has been paid into the Z. 5.
Treasury. For Example, the Knox
VILE National Bank has on deposit
in the u. s. Treasury sl00,0O0 in L.
S. bonds. Upon the basis OF these
bonds the Government has issued to
the bnDk 100000 in currency. The
bank must return the entire 500 900
IN its own bills or other valid cnrren-
cy before IL can withdraw It's bonds,
because the Government is pledged
to redeem every dollar OF the banks
circulation, ifthe bank does not re-
deem it. The bank cannot prove
that certain bills have been burned
or otherwise destroyed, and hence, If
ii cannot produce lis own bills to the
full amount, 1t must make up tile
defciency-in other currency.
Mr.. Harlan, in his speech here last
Saturday, not knowing that Mr.. FL
liott or any other man In his audi
ence had made this absurdly false
statement, said:
Il pity the candidate for Office who
would SO presume upon the iehor-
ance,of his audience as 10 tell the
people in n public speech that Ma
,iona! bills lost or destroyed are q
gain to the bank. When man un-
dertakes to teach he ought to inform
himself upon the subject Of which lte
speaks. If he makes such an as=cr-
ton as this he il either unparaoba
bly, ignorant or basely dishonest, and
in either case unworthy"
Mr.. Elliott listened, blushe1, and
soon foand occasion 10 slip out Of the
room. II Is safe to say that he will
not again venture to make this false
statement.

MIR. Elliott says that the early re-
sumption OF specie payments VIII
bring financial ruin to the country.
He says the Democratic party Is a
unit upon this question throughout
the nation, declaring for more green
backs and against resumption. The
fscts are that the Democracy OF Ohio,
Iowa and Pennsylvania are about
half with Mr.. Elliott on this qaes-
ton, and they of New York and the
New England States are opposed and
cling TO their love OF " money. that
chinks; y and now come the Demo
Gratis of Nebraska, and declare in
their State platform adopted ~ few
days since:
lst. That we are in favor OF sound
currency, coin or its equivalent, as
essential to stability in business and
a restoration OF prosperity steps to-
ward specie payments and no step
backwards.
81. That we deprecate all attempts
70 commit the Democratic party to a
system of paper money, based upon
an unconstitutional eXerciseuf federal
power as a crime against the com
mon welfare aud a wHnton violation
of cardinal article Of the Democratic
creed.
This paper money system which
is thus declared based upon ur
unconstitutional exercise Of federal
power, is the greenback system
upon which Mr. Elliott says Democ,
racy is a unit. How are you, unit

BALTIMORE DEMOCRATS.

The Democrats of Baltimore met in conven-
zion at the Assembly Rooms June Sd, and
unanimously nominated as their candidate
for the Mayoralty, Gen. FerdinandC G. Latrobe.
quiet, harmony, good order, and enthusiasm
prevailing. Among the delegates were emf,
nent citizens who have not heretofore par.
ticipated in political affairs. The spirit
which marked the convention, the character
Of the men composing it. the interest shown
by the thronged assemblage Of spectators
are most cheering signs CT the wholesome
condition Of the Democratic party OF that
city. Baltimore has polled (1S72) over A, OOO
votes.
For congressman, in 1874, there was ma
jority of 1854 votes for O'Bnen and Swami.
Democrats. Where majorities are large,
parties are apt to divide, especially on local
issues and candidates. That the Democrats
of Baltimore, in recognition of the stu
pendous importance of Democratic union,
have SO nobly joined hands, is an omen which
we hail with special qualification.
On taking the chair the President of the
Convention declared that there would be no
wise and just administration of the National
Government until the Democratic party is re-
stored to power. Until then" said he,
"there will be no union of hearts and hands;
NO redemption Of specie payments; no re-
trenchment of the National expenditures; no
knowledge of the actual financial condition Of
the country; no revival of our foreign COM
nerce; no resuscitation of our commercial
marine, and no restoration of an old-fashioned
National prosperity such as existed in every
part of the country before the war"
The skies are Frightening.

The Widow of Stonewall Jackson.

gentleman who read in the Herald yes
terday the statement that the widow of Stone
wall Jackson was living in Charlotte in
Strengthened circumstances, authorizes US to
state that he will be one of twenty men to
give her share each in the Atlanta Cotton
Factory. This would be splendid gift, and
there are, doubtless, twenty men in Atlanta
who will willingly join him in the offer.-At-
bnta Herald.
We commend the above paragraph to the
attention of our readers, and especially those
who served with the gallant Stonewall in the
late war. We are sure that there are many of
our citizens who will regret to hear that the
widow Of SO noble Southern patriot is in
actual want, and perhaps kindly hand ex-
sended now would be of invaluable aid to the
lady.

SHERMAN'S SURPRISE AT SHILOH.
[From the Nashville Banner.l

(From the Nashville Banner.l
The significant silence of Gen. Sherman's
memoirs on the subject Of their authors sur
prise at the battle of Shiloh or Pittsburg
Landing, is attracting the attention of the
critics Of his work.
The Memphis Avalanche. whose editor was
an eyewitness to the occurrence. reminds
Southern survivors of that famous battle, how
"a portion of Gen. Albert Sydney Johnston g
advance slept on their arms Saturday night
almost within earshot of the Federal lines,
and early Sunday morning were charging on
their tents, rousing from their slumbers the
officers and men, none of whom seemed to be
aware that an enemy was within half dozen
miles.
No pickets were out; no preparation seems
70 have been made for meeting an onset,
though there is official evidence that, as late
rs Friday, Gen. Sherman was aware of the
presence of q large Confederate force be-
tween Corinth and the Tennessee River. I"
To which statements there are no lack of
sorroborative witnesses in Middle Tennessee
The ex-Confederate survivors OF the battle
from the regiments from this division Of the
State well remember that in the charge which
swept the Federal forces down to the water
edge of the Tennessee River. the camps
through which they double-quicked in pur-
suit bore unmistakable evidences of having
Been precipitately abandoned.
Sumptuous breakfasts smoking and I'M
Ouched, on spacious linen spreads, were
hurriedly abandoned, and some officers cots
we're still warm where the game had recently
lain. There can be no sort of question but
that the author of the memoirs was caught
mapping, and if he did not himself, not few
Of his officers lost their breakfasts on that
memorable Sunday morning of April 1862
As our Memphis contemporary we'll re-
marks: Seen. Sherman may be pardoned for
sensitiveness on this point but it is impos-
sible to pass over facts so notorious; besides,
attempts to suppress or explain them away
shake public confidence in Gen. Sherman's
saliability when treating of any matters
which affect his fame"

OUR BOOK TABLE

HOURS IN LIBRARY. By Lester Stephen.
New York !: Scribner, Armstrong d Co.
New Orleans: r. G. Eyrich. PIP. Bill.
Rarely have we grasped hands with more
genial or capable critic than Mr.. Lester
Stephen. Totally free from cynicism, closely
accurate in analysis, his deductions and
3peculations are given force and kindness
that cannot fail carrying the readers judg
ment captive. In this little work he has
selected De Foe, Richardson, Pope, Haw-
thorn, Walter Scott, Balzac and De Quincy as
the material for his theme. They are his
friends constant associates in the retirement
of his library. Like the scholar he is, we
soon discover that he loves these paper
friends, and only seeks to execute labor of
love by giving the public the benefit Of long
and intimate association in Interpreting their
beauties. One cannot read Mr.. Stephens pleas
ant gossip without feeling himself nearer and
aearer to this past race of literary giants. His
pleasant pen picks away the wall which inva-
riably grows up between the present and the
past races of authorship, and his no less
pleasant fancy sheds new and mellow light
upon them.
We forbear following in footsteps which
leave such captivating traces, and can only
say in further comment that for long time
no more entertaining or elevating book has
been published than this. Beautifully writ
zen, modest in tone, entirely free from dog
natism, with gentle vein Of humor now
and then cropping to the surface. none will
regret few hours devoted to its perusal.
