REPUBLICAN RESPONSIBILITY
FOR ssRAG MONEY"

Here it is In a nutshell Those
virtuous souls who distress themselves
so much about "rag money" should re-
member that the Republican party
imposed it upon the country against
the protests of the Democracy. They
must also remember that, TO re-elect
himself, Grant packed the Supreme
Court, against the protests of the De-
mocracy, for the purpose Of re-
versing the legal tender decision,
which was in accordance with the
Constitution, and which, had it been
permitted to stand, would have settled
the question Of resumption four years
ago at least. Now since the Repubi-
can party, by a packed Congress and
a packed Supreme Court, has forced
this "rag money" upon the people, the
Democracy insist that the people shall
have what benefits it confers, and that
the legislation and the legal decisions
of the country shall not always be in
favor Of the bondholders and moneyed
aristocracy as against the poorer
classes.

PROMINENT TURFMEN AT SARA
New York Herald. Julr 2s.

New York Herald, July o.
Observe the owners of these horses which
are TO start to-day, and how yariously their
origin and behavior. There is boswell,
from Virginia, and his wealthy partner,
Cammack, man of unusual general intel
ligence, a retired broker. The great banker,
Belmont, with one hand On the shoulder OF
the ROthschilds, chats interestedly with
chum of Qrinstead, the lesser banker from
Lexington, KY. The son of Gen. Harvey
new on the turf-With racers named from
the streams and hills Of his native State,
cOnverses with Burton, Of Tennessee, a
modest venturer upon the turf. There is
Jennings, Of Louisville, trainer of old for
the great Alexander, now trainer and
breeder himself, laughing at old Mr.. Dan
iel, of Virginia, now of Jersey, imping up
the track to peep under his racers belly.
Fine in his address, Clabaugh, of Maryland,
chats with his distinguished fellow citizen,
Gov. Bowie. Again we see Puryear, Of
South Carolina, on the turf, where bis
tall and enteTprising acquaintance, Sanford,
of Connecticut, is now the rising power.
There are the Lorillards, who have the
greatest number of horses on the track,
listening TO Cottrill, of Mobile, whose
horses have gone West. The young man
Cathcart, the owner of KadI, is the sue
cessor of DR.. Robert Underwood, deceased,
as pool seller. He is, beside DOnahue, Of
Bergen Heights the turfman and cOntrsc-
tor, who is great for steeple-chases and
'selling races" John Hunter, the son Of
the former partner of his companion,
Robert Trayers, is trudging up the quarter
stretch, while Travers who is the sOn-in-law
of ReVerdy johnson, times his watch in the
lookout with William Conner, the starter,
of New Orleans, and former owner Of
Stampede. There is DR.. Weldon, lOf Ken
lucky, who ran the first horse en- the Sara
tOga track before it was a legal right to do
so. Together are the partners Colonel
Morgan, brother Of John Morgan, after
whom McGrath's Calvin was named,
and his partner Robinson, the ex-cOlOnel Of
a Federal Kentucky regiment. There is
Henry G. Bispham, the successor Of TrOve
and DeLeatre as a horse painter, talking to
Price McGrath, whose four great racers he
has Just put on canvas TO add to the attrac-
tions of the Grand Union Hotel. Bispham
studied in France under Otto Weber. He
has painted Dexter, Fellowcraft, and the
lights of the turf whose counterfeit present.
ments Will alone remain in after years as
memorials of the crowds collected and mil
lions spent by former generation. Mr..
Belmont offered to pay Rosa Bonheur hand
somely to group some thOroughbreds he had
bought abroad, but she declined it. Land
seer's prices to paint a great horse like
Blair Athol, or Cathedral, or Maccaroni,
were beyond belief. A poorer artist than
Herring receives in England from one hun
bred to one thousand guineas for portrait
Of a winner; but here are four pictures,
one-e eighth life-size, of Chesapeake, Calvin,
Aristides and Aaron Pennington, that
probably cost altogether less than 81 900.

We have received from "Chas. W.
Thompson, Secretary, IS Pemberton
Square, Boston," about fifty copies
more or less-of a circular, which he
requests us to distribute and publish
freely" Its purport is shown in the
following extract: "a movement is
being made here among the veteran
soldiers and sailors, having the welfare
and honor Of our country wholly and
truly at heart, to bring prominently
before the independent voters all over
the land, the names of Hon. Nathaniel
p Banks, of Massachusetts, for Presi-
dent, and Hon. L. Q. G. Lamar, of
Mississippi, for Vice President, in the
next coming Presidential cam
Paign, as the most competent
and trustworthy candidates to
represent the newly aroused national
feeling engendered by the anniversaries
and celebrations Of these Centennial
days, where the people OF the North and
South have come together under pleas
ant auspices, and have learned to know
and appreciate each other better and
more fully than ever before" The
spirit by which the projectors Of this
movement claim to be actuated is GER
tainly a commendable ono, but 1t strikes
US that they have put their men in the
field a triAe too early. Were they
bitter political enemies of the gentle
men named, they could hardly have hit
UPON a more effectual method Of kill
ing them off. The people want time to
think over these matters, Let us
hasten slowly.

THE COMING STATE ELECTIONS

Before the close of the present year
elections will be held in seventeen of
-he thirty-seven States, beginning with
the election in Kentucky on the ID Of
August and ending with that in Texas
on the 9TH Of December. In forecast
ing the result, the Chicago Times-a
rampant Independent, hard-money
iournal-concedes that six Of these
States may reasonably be ex-
pected to give Democratic major
ties, and SIX others, Repub.
icau majorities, while it classes
the other five as doubtful Ore hardly
needs to be assured that the Democrats
may safely count upon carrying Ken
tucky, Arkansas, Virginia, Maryland,
Missouri and Texas; but we question
whether the Republicans have every
prospect of success in Maine, Iowa,
Kansas, Massachusetts,, Mississippiand
Minnesota, From present indica.

AFAVORABLE OMEN.

Memphis Appeal, July q.
The interest which the politicians Of
Tennessee are manifestiug in the mate
rial and industrial interests Of the
State is a significant augury. 1t is an
unerring presage TO that prosperity
which will, at no distant day, make its
advent Col. Jas. E. Bailey, of Clarks-
vile, Is one of the rising men of Ten
nessee. He has talent which would
adorn any position within the gift of
the people. A few days since thepeOple
of Washington county invited Col.
Bailey to address them on the great in
dustrial interests so necessary to their
material interests. Col. Bailey accept
ed the invitation, and viii address
the people at JOnesbOrO on the 9th Of
August. In his letter of acceptance
he says: 81 heartily concur in the SEN
timents expressed in your letter; amid
the heats of political controversy we
have too much neglected our social
duties, and too long deferred combined
effort to establish upon sure fOunda-
ton our material interests. Hence
forth let us endeavoT to cultivate more
kindly feelings for each other, and
unite in giving such directions to the
energies of our people as Will place
our State on the highway to happi-
ness and prosperity" Tennessee can
be made the wealthiest section of
the world. The strength of our State
lies in its products, which need devel-
Oping, and which can be developed
only by the discussion which the people
of Washington county and Col. Bailey
proposes. The whole South, to be
prosperous, must build up her cities
by manufactures; she must acquire
some Of the characteristic thrift and
business energy of the North; she
must populate, improve and cultivate
her waste places; open and operate her
mines; in word, develop as
rapidly as possible her unbOunded
resources. The South is in a po-
sition to reap her full share Of the
prosperity and pTogI ess of the country
In the future. The correspondence
between the citizens Of JOnesbOrO and
Colonel Bailey indicates that portion
of the people of Tennessee realize their
condition as well as their oppOrtuni-
ties. Iris is a move in the right direc.
ton. We hope it viii result IN the in
auguration Of that new era, when the
people Of Tennessee will commence
building factories, engage probably
IN mining coal and iron, IN doubling
the value of their lands, and thus
secure prosperity and happiness.

THE FATE OF THE TRADEDOLLAR.


1t was a stroke Of policy on the part
of our Government to devise in ,the
trade dollar a coin which should CON-
pete with the Mexican dollar and event
ually drive it almost out of the Chinese
market. After reaching that country
1t encounters an almost ignominioUs
fate. The Chinese send it TO India for
the purchase of opium. They 60 into
the Calcutta mint and come out as
rupees, which are stamped with the
native characters on one side and the
value Of the piece on the other. The
trade of China with India in opium
exceeds that of all other commodities,
as Is shown by the reports of the Chi
nese customs service. The amount re-
turned for the last eight years, exclu-
sive of the amount Struggled, which
would probably double it, is 97,440, $50
pounds. The amount of American sill
yer which annually goes to India from
China to pay for opium is immense. A
base use for so beautiful a coin as the
trade dollar, surely.

About O'Clock Saturday morning,
officer Cain arrested Robt. Weeks, alias

fenced from Columbia, for three years
for larceny, but only served about nine
months. He escaped from the works
on the Cincinnati Southern road, on
the ID Of March, and has since been
skulking about earning a precarious eI-
istence by his wits. He has been in
company with other convicts who have
escaped since, but they, so far, have
eluded the vigilance of the officers.

DEATH OF A SEWING MACHINE
MILLIONAIRE

A cable dispatch announces the
death, in London, Of Isaac Merit
Singer, the inventor Of the Singer
sewing machine. For several years
back, since he retired from active par
ticipation In the business which he
established, he has resided in England.
Originally mechanic in Boston, he
worked his way up in the world, his
efforts being finally rewarded with an
almost p1incely fortune. In 1850 Elias
Howe, who originally invented sewing
machines, superintendent the construc-
ton of fourteen machines in New York,
one of which was subsequently
exhibited at the fair in Castle Garden
until 1851, where, for the space of two
weeks, it performed the work before
deemed impossible except by hand. AT
this time all sewing machines II exist
ence were his. In August, 1850, Sing
er, a man of vast resources, made an
improved machine, but IN 1854, after a
long trial, Judge Sprague, of Massa-
chusetts, decided that the plaintiffs
patent is valid and the defendants
machine is an infringement" This de-
olson was made when nine years had
elapsed from the completion Of the first
machine. When the extention Of his
patent expired his income from this
source had been fully 100000.

lowing comparison is possible:

In Bible times, man was told, Put
not your trust in Princes" The inter.
est which labor has to pay on debts
that represent a dead horse is about
one thousand million dollars a year.
Call one-fourth of our men, women
and children laboring men, and this
apparently never-ending tax on the
sweat Of their brOws is one hundred
dollars a year on each, or SS.33B a
month, to be paid to bondholders and
others before their little ones can have
bread, clothing or schooling. Neither
evasion nor falsehood Will remove this
great misfortune or content the labor
ing man with his burden. The peril. Of
the times, and the claims of mercy,
truth and Justice, alike demand that
this subject matter be fairly iuvesti-
gated, publicly discussed and ultimate
ly adjusted on basis of impartiality to
all classes.
