Sclence put nothing like as elastic as their principles, apparently. Here is Senator Thurman, hard money Democrat if there is such thing west of the Alleghanles. sitting on the paper money platform re- gently framed by the Ohio Democratic Convention as placidly as MT. W. H. Bar mum ever accepted a nomination accom- panied with a set of free trade and anti. monopoly resolutions, from Democrats nearer home. The Cincinnati Commercial talks very sanguinely of the prospective Democratic break up on finance:
 The democratic party is divided against itself. beyond question and without reme- dy, on the vital, unavoidable question of the day. There is, therefore, no possibil- ity that it can win the next presidential election. It must be broken over the money question in the next national con- venti0n, as certainly and cruelty as it was fractured at Charleston and Baltimore in 1869 on the question of slavery in the ter ritories.
 All which would be true if the Republi- can party was unit for hard money. Still, although Republication has it's Kel- loggs. it's Mortons and it's Ferrys, it has 8 better hard money record on the whole than the Democracy. Should the election of 1876 turn on that issue we might in; but If the election turns on the Republican conduct of Southern affairs, the outlook ia not cheerful.

Pittsfield considers MT. Beecher inno- cent They have had Q burglar among them named Collin who, with the profes. sion of burglary, united that weakness for the fair sex which has ruined so many prominent artist ih his line. His latest inamorata was a Miss Pierce. Things went on swimmingly till one evening Col
 lin got into discussion with Miss Pierce's father about Beecher. The old gentle man believed the great minister innocent. Collins knew he was guilty. That opened Pierce f'sre's eyes. He ordered the scoun- drel out of his house and recent develop ments show the wisdom of his course. Of course this satisfied Pittsfeld, not only about Collins, but about Beecher. To other localities the circumstance seems hardly conclusive, although it is about as relevant as a good deal of the evidence of- feredto the Brooklyn jury, in the late un- pleasantness.

Rewards-A Possibility that the
AerOnauts are still Safe.


CHICAGO, July 20.-Barnum's Hippo
drome offers $500 to any steam tug that
will go in search of and flnd one or both
OF the bodies of the passengers of the
missing balloon. Mr.. Samuel King, the
aeronaut, of Cleveland, Ohio, offers Q re-
ward OF $100 to any person who will go
in search of the bodies, and the Evening
Journal office will pay 500 to any per-
son who will find either of the missing
men, or furnish positive information or
their fate. The lake captains are now
on the watch, and it is hoped that there
will be developments.
Mr.. Carson, OF Hillsdale, Michigan, ar
rived here yesterday, and states that at
five O'Clock Friday morning four men
saw balloon pass over at a great height,
and watched it closely, although at that
time they knew nothing Of D0naldson's
ascension. The balloon was at such an
altitude that it was impossible to deter
mine whether or not any car was at
tached to it. 1t is positively known that
no other air ship had ascended through
out the Northwest, and it seems certain
that Barnum's balloon, and possibly its
occupants, escaped Lake Michigan and
descended in some deserted region. The
fact that nothing has been picked up on
the lake gives added force to this new
hope, which Is o forlorn one, for the
safety of the aeronautS.
