for his audience Few men have ever under,

Two years ago he resurrected political corpse,

ity, aided by the indignant sullenness of tho
Republicans, he won for the thing the Governor.
ship of Ohio, and restored his party to power
In this exalted position both ttfe resurrec ted
corpse and the restored faction have disgraced
themselves and him to whom they both owed
their power to accomplish the evil they have
done.
The contempt of the statesmen OF both parties
for these creatures who owed their power to
Thurman and the disgrace OF the creatures
themselves, have eliminated In both of them
rising against their creator, opposing his polit-
ical views and ignoring the hereditary opinionI
of their party.
Under these circumstances Mr.. Thurman
speaks at Mansfield tomorrow.
He has exhibited heretofore much political
wisdom, more cunning and shrewdness; hut also
an almost utter want OF manhood honesty and
bravery.
An honest man, OF a patriotic one, would OK
perience no difficulty in his position. But he
has meyer exhibited either honesty or patriotism
TO any great extent-and now the whole
nation realizes the difficulty of his situa.

The Ohio Election as vicwed-from a

Unless il be dissatisfied hard-money Demo.

Ohio. The Liberal Republicans in the Greeley
campaign numbered probably $4,000; Of these
more than half haze since acted with the Demo-
Gratis, while a small portion have gone back to
the Republicans. In the campaign of 1873 a
portion of this element, which would neither
support Moves nor Allen, nominated candidate
OF their own and polled about 10000 votes,
which would otherwise have largely gone
to-; Foyes. THIS independent vote is
undoubtedly a unit for Hayes

The Idea at the Bottom of the lnfia-
ton Movement.
From The New York Nation.

From the New York Nation.
The idea which is at the bottom of the whole
agitation in favor OF unlimited issues of green
backs is as old as the French Revolution, and
has come steadily down, in one shape or another
along with the principle of equality" and the
rights of men, 1t is now embodied in the
political gospel of the Continental Socialists
under the name of "gratuity of credit" The
Continental Socialists have, however pushed
the doctrine further than their American
imitators, and made it more efficient
because they have not only provided
for the issue of irredeemable paper by the gov
erument, but provide the means by which the
poor man can get hold OF it. Anybody who
reads the speeches of Allen and Pendleton or
Kelley on the wonderful effects of plenty of
paper money in 'quickening the wheels of in
dustry," will observe that they never describe
The mode in which the paper is to reach the
wheels They tell you of the blessing it would
prove 10 the farmer and mechanlc, but they re-
frain from mentioning how the farmer or me-
chanic is 10 get il into his possession They do
not propose that the government should give it
away. Even the illustrous Kelley denies his
bengnant currency 70 all who can not provide
themselves with 3-65 bonds. But how is the
hardy farmer or the industrious mechanic,
who is short of money, to procure bonds
in order to exchange them for currency
when business is active and draw them out
again when business is dull, ETC., etc.2 This la
mentable gap in the system the French and
Germans have filled up, by declaring that when
the government makes its issues of paper, il
hall lend them to all well-behaved citizens,
through banks established for the purpose, ali
over the country; and not on security either
for the present bankers lend on security, and
what is lending on security but monopoly? The
object of government issues is and clearly ought
to be, the supply of money to persons who have
no security to ofer-or, in other words to the
class which needs money most-and this the
European plan attains. Some such idea,
though in very vague shape,
undoubtedly lies at the bottom OF the Kelley
and Allen discourses. The etraining they have
unconsciously received in an acutebusiness COM
munity doubtlessly prevents them from pro-
posing openly that 'the people money" should
be lent gratis TO all comers, because this would
make Americans laugh; but the notion that the
government ought in some manner To see that
everybody has as much money as he needs in
his business is, nevertheless, running through
theirminds, and furnishes, or would furnish. the
premise, the suppression of which makes much
OF their talk seem so irrational. Kelley has
made a lame attempt to meet the difficulty whh
his 1865 plan, and Wendell Phillips with his
plan Of lending on mortgage on real estate at 4
per cent, but neither of them makes any pro-
vision, as we shave remarked, for tn spOor
sfelloHs who have neither bOnds-hor= Teai estate.

The Republican FinanoiaLPOsitiOn.

From the Albany journal.
II the position of the Republican party on
the currency question was ever IN douhi, Il is
now clear ana emphatic. II IS against imitation
and for the policy which looks steadily toward
resumption. Every RepuhIcan convention of
the year has made tins declaration. Not sim
gle one any where mas even squinted toward
further expansion. The Republican major
ity of Congress passed at the last session
without dissenting voice among their number,
a bill which pledges the country TO policy of
resumption, and fixes a time for it. That act,
together with the uniform declarations Of tho
conventions, defines the position of the party
beyond shadow Of doubt; aud in the face OF
these ndisputahle tacts the assumption that it is
n party of imitation, is a wllful and wanton dis
regard OF truth.

GOLD AND SILVER.
ROREIeE ETCHANeE.
FINANCIAL.

There is no change to report in banking
circles and we can hear of but little doing.
The banks loan to their customers on short
time at the rate of ten per cent. per annum.
Brokers in negotiating loans charge about
one per cent per month. Good paper
when offered is taken at about two per
cent. per month discount.
Exchange on New York is firm and in
demand. The banks buy at par and sell at
8 per thousand premium.
Gold continues to advance, closing in
New York at l175. For the small lots
offered here dealers pay 11561l55, while
they hold at III. Silver is taken at 107
for halves and quarters.
Tennessee bonds appear quitefrm and
are quoted in New York at 52d55. They
would bring about 81 in this market.
COmptrOller's warrants are quite album
dant on the market, with but little demand
by taxpayers. Brokers are paying 90 and
holding at %. The new treasury notes are
bought and sold the same as the ordinary
warrant, and have become quite abundant
on the market.
Our local securities are very dull, and
though but few are OF the market the ten
dency is decidedly downward. Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis railway stock
may be quoted at 2062I; Nashville and
Decatur at 40643; South Nashville street
railway at Il; new issue Bank of Tennes-
see at 20. For other quotations we refer to

HOW TEE LADIES ASSIST THE

their work from the Geyout women Of
London. They do not mount the public
rostrum, but 90 about the city distributing
tracts and organizing committees for '-hOuse-
toulouse" visitatiODs. BY their constant Ia
bOrs in this direction the crowds that have
attended the preachings Of the Americana
vivalist and his co-wOTker have gradually iD-
creased since their advent into the great
metropolis. The ladies conduct monster
tea-meetings for the poor. The latter are
thus gathered together in large numbers,
and it is comparatively easy then 20 per

sinners in the south and east Of London.
"Certain it is, :" says correspondent, chat

CAN A WOMAN BE a WIDOW WHILE
HER HUSBAND LIVES?

4 remarkable suit IS in progress in a San
Francisco court. IN November. 1872, Jas.
c. King shot and killed Arthur T. O'Neil
in BROOKLYN, New York. King was found
guilty OF murder in the second degree, and
was sentenced to the peHilentia-y for life.
King had met q wealthy merchant named
Scott in san Francisco, and he had married
the latters daughter. The union for some
reason turned out TO be most unhappy.
Her father left all his estate by viii 10
Mrs. King on her becoming a widow, and
the question now presented TO a San ETaC-
cisco tribunal is, whether she Is entitled,
under the will, TO come into possession of
the property, though King tat present about
thirty-eight years Odd is now confined in
the State prison at Sing Sing. Mrs.
King now contends that she IS a widow
fully within the meaning of the teTms OF
her fathers viii, and therefore entitled TO
come into the property left by him at the
time Of his decease. The laws OF New
York. as represented 70 the California
Judges, provide that "a person sentenced to
Imprisonment for life shall be deemed civ
illy dead and that "lO pardon granted
any person who shall be sentenced to I'M
prisonment for life shall be deemed 10 It.
store such person to the rights Of amy pre-
vious marriage" The question IS, though
fha wife be divorced and King ati-e in the
flesh, and, though civilly dead according 10
the laws of New York, is Mrs. King a
widow in California? Upon the determi-
nation Of that point depends the acquiSi-
ton and enjoyment Of a large property leil
by father to a daughter upon the event Of
her becoming a widow.

ing pair, as they are property Of the editor
Of this paper. We are fOndly attached to
the dog on account of his vagabOndish, b.
hemianish habits. He knows every dog in
Peoria by name, and is on speaking terms
with nine-tenths Of the dogs that come in
under the wagons, and he knows more Of
the inhabitants of this city than the tax
collector does. The turtle is a more recent
acquisition. II was placed in the back
yard yesterday, and the dog spent au hour
and half trying to induce it to come out
Of its shell and be comfortable. The old
iTOn-clad maintained his reserve, however,
until the dog ornamented his nose against
the forward part and commenced to sniff.
The pair seemed to come to some under
standing at once, for the dog made an i'm
petuoUs remark on q very high key, and
then they both started on a trip together.
The dog was last seen saUntering along
like a WhirlWind, the turtle staying right
by him. We should be very sorry to lose
the dog now, as he has acquired another
important and valuable quality. He knows
more about turtles than any other dog in
the country.
