THE CAUSE OF HARD TIMES.

Those men who a year ago raised the
cry for more money, claiming that dis
order and stagnaEion in business was
caused by a deficiency of circulation,
must be bitterly disappointed at the fail
ure of their pet theories. Free banking
they also claimed was essential for the
prosperity of the country. More money
they received by the act of Congress
placing in circulation forty millions
which had been held in reserve, and un-
der the national system they have free
banking and an unlimited issue of cur
reucy. With all these blessings, if so
they may be called, the number of fail
ures during the last six months has ex-
ceeded those Of any year of our past his
tory except the beginning of the civil
war. Imitation then cannot be the grand
panacea which is to cure all our evils
and again cause healthy reaction In
business. Those who comprehend the
first principles Of finance must see that
capital, not more currency. is the thing
needed. The simple fact that the pos
sibility Of further imitation exists has
caused much capital to be withdrawn
from active employment. If the amount
of money locked up in New York city
alone could be set free the infusion Of
new blood would be perceptible in bust
ness circles all over the country. The
reduction of Indebtedness and the great
er caution In business transactions, is
however, healthful sign. The credi
is apparently less strained than in an,
year since the war, and scarcely NOR
than in 1860, year of marked prosper
ity. Although the figures for only 81:
months of the present year show fail
ures exceeding in number and liabilitie
the average for eight full years out G
fourteen, nevertheless, the average {

The RAILROAD THRoUGH THE NoTcH.
Since the Portland and Ogdensburg
was opened through the White Noun.
tain Notch, the rush of travel in that
direction has been tremendous, exceed
ing the most sanguine anticipations.-
And mountain travel this year will not
decrease with warm weather. After the
leaves begin to turn, and the forests
take on their autumn hues, then of all
the year will be the very best time to
take railroad ride through the Notch.
The stupendous enterprise, the beautiful
scenery. and the ease of access, will draw
thousands of people thither. We un-

English justice is marvellous thing.
A case which recently occurred in one
of the country districts of England shows

Is practiced by some reverend justice of
the peace. A little girl eleven years
old on her way home from school picked
a geranium blossom which she saw in
her neighbor's garden. The owner of
the plant complained to the rector of the
parish, who was also justice of the
peace. Mr. Moore was the clergyman's
name, and he persisted that the child
be summoned before the court at which
he presided. The charge was proved,
and Mr.. Moore sentenced the little girl
to fourteen days Imprisonment in the
county Jail and four years detention in
a reformatory! The whole community
was aroused at such monstrous injus-
tice; meetings were held and petitions
were signed in behalf of the child
The case was brought into the House of
Commons, and orders were Immediately
given for the child's release, with Sc
we're reproof to the reverend Judge. He
will probably be removed from his pO-

membered that on previous occasions he

Thursday last, Mr.. Windsor, of Phila-
delphia, offered the following, which
was adopted, thirty-one to eight:
Resolved, That the present time,
when commercial Indebtedness is
small, prices of commodities low, and
currency so excessive that large
amounts of it are lying idle, presents II
favorable opportunity for the institu-
ton of measures to restore specie pay
mcnts.
Resolved, That such payment canno.
be restored and maintained so long rs
paper currency exists which can be
used in legal payments instead of
pecie.
Resolved, That this National Board
of Trade therefore prays Congress to
withdraw from circulation and cancel
the United States legal tender notes by
instituting measures for that purpose

NO NOMINATION.

There are always a class OF patri.
otto individuals in every communi-
ty, whose desire to figure promi-
nently in conventions whether
state, county or precinct lover. bal
ances all considerations of self-re-
spect or public good. 1t is inmate
rial TO them whether the assembling
of q convention is useless or not
whether it will be barren Of good
results, or whether it will be ma
nipulated by shrewd tricksters into
the nomination Of men who are by
no means the choice Of the people
who elect them, the custom general
Iy being to vote blindly for the NOM
inecs, almost entirely without ref
erence to tho manner of the nomi-
nation. This custom may be well
enough where the canvass is closely
contested by representatives ofAhe
opposing political parties, but in
the election for members Of the con-
stitutional convention that will oc-
cur ON the FIRST Monday in August,
in this District, there is no consid-
Grafton of that kind, as no man who
is not II true and tried Democrat or
Conservative could be elected to the
position.
Such being the case, where is the
necessity or justice of few men
singing out one Democrat, and de-
handing that every Democrat shall
vote for him? The only candidates
in Dallas county before the people
for that position are Major John
Henry Brown and Colonel John G.
Mccoy. Both gentlemen are well
known throughout the State, hav-
ing resided in Texas for over Il
quarter of a century. No county in
the State could send more capable
or efficient delegate than either of
these gentlemen. Where, then, is
the necessity fora convention to de-
termine between them? What right
has a convention to say to one of
these gentlemen, you may come be-
fore your fellow citizens and ask for
their suffrages, and to the other,
you shall not, for we, the conven-
ton, claim the right to dictate to the
people ofthis county who they shall
vote for, even between their Demo.
cratic friends ? Such q demand |
should be treated by the intelligent
electors of Dallas county with scorn.
THE HERALD sincerely trusts that
no nomination will be made for Dali
las county, and that the people, for
once, at least, may be left free to cast
their ballots for Brown, Mccoy, or
whoever, in their judgment, they
may think best, and when the choice
is thus made, by the free and un-
voice of the people,
there can be no after charges of
fraud, bribery or corruption.

To the Editor Of The Dallas Herald:
Will my brother farmers take the
advice of one who has followed that
business for forty years, and stack their
wheat until it passes through the sweat,
and then thrash it out and put it in
their granaries and hold it at one dol
lar bushel, instead of forcing it on
the market at seventy-five cents If
you will do this, tits my honest opin-
ion that in less than three months you
can cash it atone dollar. Don'tbe alarm
ed at the great quantity made in Tex
as, for Missouri and Kansas are not
more than half crops.

RAN,
The Public Debt of Texas-IIOw il Was
Created.
10 the Editor of the Dallas Herald:

10 the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
Seeing that some Democratic pa
pers in the State have fallen in with
the Radical convention of Hemp
stead, either in misunderstanding or
wilfully misrepresenting the pres
ent administration in regard to the
public debt of the State, | propose,
through your valuable columns, to
give to your many readers correct
statement of the public debt of
Texas. To show when, and by
whom this debt was created, and in
order that the reader may under
stand the object Of this commnnica-
ton, | will here insert the first res
olution of the Radical Convention
of Hampstead, and then answer one
of the charges contained in that
resolution : "Resolvcd, first, That
the Democracy of this State, having
few months since secured posses
sion of the government by profusc
promises Of reform and retronch-
ment, has increased the offices to
DO supported by the people ; has
doubled the public debt, and though
they have abolished the schools,
which under Republican admins
tration, caused the most Of the tax
then collected, has actually in
creased taxation and extended its
reach everywhere to the small pos.
sessions Of the poor"
The charge which we propose here
TO notice more extensive than any
Of the rest is, =
"HAs DOUBLED THE PUBLIC DEBT"
The party which has the impu-
dence and audacity to make such a
statement rs the above, in the face
of the history and experience of the
past few years of our state, and the
official documents and reports in
and of the Comptroller's and Preas-
urer's offices, has certainly lost or
mislaid the meaning OF the word
truth from its morals as well MS its
political vocabulary, if not, also,
of the word honesty. For. by refer.
ence to the origin of the laws under
which the public debt of the state
was created, and to the time of its
creation, and by whom created, as
shown by the Comptrollcr's report,
a consolidated abstract of which will
be found in the journals of the sen.
ate of the second session of the four
