Hon. JUDGE KELLEY, one of the lead
ing Republicans of Pennsylvania deliv-
cred speech at Youngstown, Ohio, on
Saturday evening last, upon the financial
condition Of the country. He has long
been leading member of his party in
Congress and is a high authority. His
address was non partisan but he araigns
the folly ofhis own party when he says;
THE so.called free banking system es-
tablished by the forty third Congress is
but the granting to the Rothschilds, the
Barings and other bondholders the privi-
lege to own, control and manage the
banking system and the circulating me-
dunn Of the United States" He shows
the emptiness ofthe cry of'iredeemabih-
ty" lifted up against the greenbacks. He
talks againstthe National banks standing
on the figures. His speech merits careful
attention for adverting to the command
ing question of the hour.

JUDGE Cox of the Common Pleas of
Cincinnati sustained the demurrer, on
the 9Th, of Thomas T. Snelbacker, Chief
of Police, indicted for embezzlement Of
Water Works money, holding that the
act under which the indictment was
drawn did not apply to the Water
Board or its employees. Entry was
made only in the case Of Snelbacker to
this effect, in order to give the prosecut-
ing attorney an opportunity to except to
the ruling, and take the question before
the Supreme Court This decision if sus-
tanned, releases all the parties indicted
for embezzlement of Water Works
funds.

JUDGE KELLEY in his speech at
Youngstown on Saturday gave the fol-
lowing definition and instance Of Radi-
cal repudiation. We commend his re.
mark to the ever faithful organs Of this
vicinity:
The first act, in the nature Of repudia-
ton touching this money, was enacted
at the instance of the bullionists and
bondholders OF the country, twas the
act that deprived the American holder
of greenbacks ofthe right to convert them
into six per cent. government bonds.
Had that act not been passed, the green
backs issued would probably never have
reached half the volume they did. For
the Government receiving the paper in
exchange for bonds would have reissued
it, and It would have saved US from the
cunning devices of bondholders-seven-
thirties aud compound inter est notes-by
which they got larger interest and bound
the Government to redeem these class
es of its obligations at the end Of three

Of State, has served his county of shelby
as Auditor for several years, and repre-
sented that county in the General Assem-

a conspicuous member Of the Finance

the State Authorship.

PRoF. o. G. MARSH, Of Yale college, who
has been out in the Indian country in
the interests of science and has written
letter to President Grant charging fraud
and villainy upon the government agents
and duplicating Secretary Delano and
Smith, Commissioner Of Indian Affairs.
He promised Red Cloud, chief Of the
Sioux, to tell the President of the rotten
meat, the worthless tobacco, the misera-
BILE sugar and coffee, the wretchedly poor
beef cattle &C., and in fact the whole
sale fraud and robbery all connived at
by high officials at Washington. It has
long been known that the Indian Ring
yearly swagged their millions, robbing
the government and the Indians. Prof.
Marsh says the Indians at the Red Cloud
agency last winter suffered greatly for
want of food and clothing. We shall
