nCheap Money"

By reference to our Geographic news it
will be seen that several persons engaged
in initiating the currency have been arrest
ed. 1t seems hard that minions of ''the
government" should lay their hands on
these cheap money manufacturers, and
the initiation party ought to hold public
meetings and protest against it. 1t looks
very much as though 1.-THE government
was trying to secure monopoly of making
cheap money" Greenbacks manufac-
tured by 'the government" are not bit
better or more valuable than greenbacks
made by counterfeiters-if neither are
ever to be paid; and therefore it is that
the initiation party ought to hold public
meetings and protest against the suppress
sion of counterteiting, for the counterfeit
ers are playing right square into the hands
of the imitation party by expanding the
currency, and furnishing cheap money
| Here is list of some of their manufac-
ture:
First National, Lockport, New York, 80;
Traders, Chicago, IS; Third National, Chi
cago, S.; Merchants, Chicago, So; First
National, Boston, 500; First National,
Philadelphia, $40; Ninth National, New
York, So; First National, Canton, Illinois,
S.; First National, Paxton, Illinois, S.;
City Bank, Poughkeepsie, New York, $40;
First National, Red Hook. New York, $40;
Central. New York city, 500; Genital,
Rome, New York, $40.
The only thing that looks suspicious
about the recent arrest is the following
statement in telegram to the Chicago
Journal, from Springfield, viz:
1.-THE counterfeiters have been long
under the surveillance of the detectives
and might have been taken some time ago
but the time had not arrived to make {
sure case against them. The officers
brought with them the complete nipple
ments used by the counterfeiters, anC
about $150,O0O in counterfeit money. Thu
plates on which it was printed were no
secured"
This looks as though the whole thing
was a put-up-job between the detectives
and the persons arrested, in order to SHOW
the superior skill of the detective force
1t looks as though the detectives didn'
want to secure the plates, for that woul(
stop the manufacture, from that source
and leave nothing for the detective tax
eaters to do.
OF course "the government" will a
once proceed to contract the volume O
the currency" by burning that $4,000
and thus cause a stringency in the none
market" The infationists should tax
some immediate steps towards sustainin
their friends, the counterfeiters. or som
of them may get into the penitentiary, IAN
t thus cut off the supply Of cheap m oney.
This would be hardship on that class G
people who want more money" withou
furnishing an equivalent for it,-for tn
counterfeit greenback is worth just a
much as the government greenback, an
is just as good, in every respect, if neithe
are to be paid. The inhationists shout
see to this matter without delay.

Attorney General Syester Declines
Especial Telegram to the Gazettel

opeclal Telegram 10 the GaZeue
HAGERsTowN, MD, August 30--lt having
been recently ntimaied by some of the news
papers Of your city that Attorney General
Syester would accept q nomination ut the
hands Of the new party your correspondent
called npon him to day, and found The rumor
to be absolutely false. The following couver-
sation was had with Mr.. Syester on the
subject
Correspondent at is stated Mr.. Syester
that you are TO receive the nomination for
Governor from the new party. May inquire
if such is the case ~
Mr.. Syester mo Sir, ii is not true. ]
take no stock in the new party, or in any in
dependent movement. | have not permitted,
nor will permit the use Of my name in con
nection with any independent movement !
am member OF the Democratic party"
'Would it be possible in any contingency
for you to accept II nomination from the new
party ~ mo, Sir. could not he induced to
accept under any circumstances the nomination
from the Independent movement. am an
old Democrat, and decline positively to con-
meet myself in any way with any Independent
or Republican ticket"
1t will be seen from The above positive re-
fusal to accept nomination, that the difficult
ty in the way OF the new party politicians in
securing good men ms the nominees increases.

this county, us well as the majority OF the
most substantial of our fellow citizens, feel
no possible kind OF interest in its efforts TO
serve the "Court House clique in their I'M
reasonable efforts TO continue in their Offices

on the contrary, the strong current Of popu-

of rotation in office.
A settled conviction rests in the minds
of our people that the Offices belong to them

The Baltimore Gazette of Tuesday says
After much secret labor the ''lndcpcndcnt
party brought forth its municipal candidates
for public inspection last night, at an open
meeting at Maryland Institute. The work Of
the Convention had been cut and dried 10 the
secret couclavcs and midnight cabals Of the
Know othings and the names on the ticket
were presented by the grind council OF that
mysterious band. Of course the nominations
were ratified, and tlieapplause was nterected
at the proper time
The Radical element overwhelmingly pre-
dominated, and the resurrection Of the Know
Nothing spook brought up old-tme memories
and caused considerable exhilaration. With
the exception Of the panks aimed TO stir up
sectarinn feeling, the platform is unobjeclion-
able. The same may be said of the candi-
dates; ana those who want to see Radicalism
and Known othingism dominant IN Baltimore
| should support them. But we imagine hard
ly any one will be so foolish as to look for
reform from party which proposes to work
secret darkness.

attendance principally composed of Republi-
