A Good Ticket.

In another column We publish 4
letter from Barbour county, taken
from the Charleston Courier. The
writer, as will be seen, suggests a
most excellent State ticket. At its
head is placed one Of our most worthy
and talented citizens, for the Office Of
Governor-the Hon. P. C. Eastman.
1t affords us pleasure to second his
nomination, and also TO give our
most hearty endorsement to the
whole ticket suggested in that letter.
Mr.. Eastman would make an ex-
cellcnt Governor.
Many other tickets have been pre-
scented by various papers, and we do
not mean any disparagementtothem
at all, when ne say that this one, in
representing the various sections of
the State, in presenting men of mcr-
it and of influence, contains much
material that would please the peo-
pie and do honor to the State.
1t is, of course, too early to do more
than discuss the merits of the various
prospective candidates, but to do this
is cmincntly proper, since the elect
ion next to be held, will be the most
exciting, as well as the most import
ant ever held by the American peo-
pie. For some time in the past, the
people have been voting for men and
for principle, only to find after the
election, that the two considerations
were merged into the officer whose
principles were forgotten, while
drawing their salaries, and the per
quisitcs thereto belonging. In the
great campaign Of 1876, the men and
the principles voted for must be the
same men, maintaining and enforce
ing the same principles after the
election that they protested to be and
protested to represent when seeking
the votes of the people.
From personal knowledge, from po-
litical record, and from public ser
vices performed, we can say that Mr..
Eastman is such man. Not seek
ing the office, not desiring it, still if
given to him, he would, We feel ASST
red, call forth every energy in his
nature to fill honestly, faithfully and
with ability, the Office Of Governor.

Who Would?

The Cincinnati Enquirer asks;
Who will embark in cotton or WOODEN
mills when it pays better to have a
tin-box full of government bonds?
Who viii be a laborer in the hives Of
industry when all its rewards go to
the successful drones? It is the pol
icy Of the Republican party to add to
the interest boaringdebt. They take
up the non-interest one for that pur-
pose. Every twenty years the prin-
cipal is paid in interest, but still re-
mains for posterity all the same
The privileged classes have every
thing to work for when they invest
their stocks and bonds in gold, and
no greenbacks; when there shall be
little money in circulation, 50 that it
will be immensely valuable to those
who happen to possess that commod-
ity. What is desired is reversal Of
this. Retire the bonds with interest.
Restore the greenbacks without in
te-est. Encourage the factory which
gives employment to the people, by
excmpting from taxation, rather than
that which does nothing Of the kind.
The laborer must be upon one side in
this controversy. The Democracy
offer them wages, life and full en-
ployment. The other side idleness,
taxation and debt.

VIM. Welsh publishes an open let
ter to President Grant on what he
:erms the libelous attack ofSecretary
Delano on Mr.. Walker, Clerk Of the
Board OF Indian Commissioners. He
SAYS he believes said libel was con-
cocted and published by Mr.. Crowan,
Assistant Secretary Of the Interior,
with the cordial approval Of Delano.
Mr.. Welsh charges that these attacks
were made on Walker because he ex-
posed frauds whichit was the duty
Of the Interior Department to check.
Mr.. Welsh then charges Delano with
making wilfully false report to the
President in reference to the amount
Of stock subscribed to the Northern
Pacific Railroad, and threatens to
publish further statements OF still
more Objectionable acts.

Here is what the pittsburg Post has

:
to say about it.
"a Republican Congress created
our ereenback currency, and Grant
packed the Supreme Court of the
United States. for the purpose OF re-
serving decision against its consti-
tutionality, and yet we find The Rad
ical leaders and organs contemptaous-
" speaking of greenbacks as Con
federate money and continental
money! Who was in that forced
this currency upon the people and
compelled them to take tin payment
of all they had to sell, while the
bondholders were paid in coin? #
ereenbacks are crime, let the real
criminals be brought to Judgement,
A letter from Panama, says of the
massacre, which recently occurred
there:
After the barracks had been taken,
nothing was heard but the savage
veil of tie assailants, dispensing in
al directions, breaking open the
doors and windows OF the houses Of
merchants and others, robbing, pilla-
ging and assassinsting in the most
fendiSb manner and applving the
torches 20 the houses and whatever
else suggested itself. Amidst all this
the continuous cryof Death to For
eisners,' Death TO Heretics," was
constantly heard. The townremain-
ed for three days at the mercy of the
assailants, and during that time all
classes of crimes had been committed
and even those who took refuge IN
the church were threatened with as
sassination by the mob.
President Gonzales, of Salvador,
had about fifty OF those engaged, shot
in squads at towns between San Mig
uel and the Capital. causing the Pa
Gres who occasioned The outbreak to
witness the executions. Many of
these victims confessed that they
were assured by the Padres that they
might rob the rich, provided they
gave part to the church. Great sor-
row and indignation has been ex-
pressed throughout Central America
at thecvents in San Miguel, in which
the respectable clergy join.

An Authorization Movement
ia New EorE.
Even in that paradise of bondhold-
ers and money hoarders, New York,
there is cropping out very decided
feeling adverse to the anticipated too
rapid contraction Of the currency,
and the forcing ofspccie payment at
all hazards, upon the people. And
more than this the movement is not
gotten up orencouraged ysimpleasi-
tators, DESTROYS Of making little po-
litical capital, but by men OF wealth,
and financial reputation. This is
evidenced by the fact that it claims
among its leader such men as Hon
Richard Schell, a capitalist and we
believe banker, and who was a Dem
ocratic member of the 4Sd Congress.
A preliminary meeting of these gen
tleman was held last week and the
following card was issued to the
public:
"Whereas, the people of the East,
especially Of the city of New York,
are nearly or quite unanimously IN
favor of the doctrines on the subject
of the currency advocated without
distinction of party by the leading
statesmen of the West, namely
THAT the contraction of the curren-
cy heretofore made, and the further
contraction proposed with . view to
the forced resumption of specie pay
ments have already brought disasters
to the country and threaten general
bankruptcy; ttat such policy v,gist
to be abandoned, and the volume of
currcncy be made and kept equal to
the wants of trade, leaving the res
toration Of legal tenders TO par in gold
to be brought about by promoting the
industries Of the people, and not by
destroying them; the extinction Of
the present national banks, and one

it of the people and govcrnmen: Of
the United States. Therefore, we
invite all who agree with us in opin-
ion to unite with us in a call for 4
public meeting to be held at Cooper
Institute, to give expression to our
views"
After this meeting had adjourned
Mr.. Schell gave his views as to the
object of the organization as follows:

\ decision in the United States
Supreme Court closes a long litiga-
ton concerning = patent on India
rubber heads for lead pencils. The
judgement Of the court is adverse to
the validity Of the patent. Some
useful notions as to what's and what

from the decision. \ favoritc form
of claim among patentees for years
past has been that of = new manu-

a claim made its passage with the
Office comparatively easy, but let
open almost the whole question as to
the points Of novelty. In fact it gave
the inventor 4 patent that was very
little better than none. In the pres
ent case the new manufacture was
the sole claim; there was nothing
specific as to form or cnmbination.-
Hence, though the idea was good and
the device was useful, the patent was
worthless. Inventors would do well

and to be careful in intrusting their
