Mr.. Davis and Illinois

A telegram brings us De neWs tps' ''''
Diyrs has accepted an il1ritat ton from an
other Illinois couutysto deliver an agricn'su.
raj speech. Kuox oot,nty has invited mn
to the fair aud show at Knoxville, IN 'pa,
county, this fall, to address The society ahu
the multitude assembled on the ocra''on' anu
he consents. Now, il great lass = w.
made over this effair, as IN the case VI 'ne
inyi;ation from Winnebago, Dir. DAVIS WIN
be there. and speak accordingly.
The trouble about the Winnebago invita-.
,,o,gr.i, tend to increase the anxiety to see
n. DAVIS. and the Knoxville show will do
: bio business; which will excite the envy Of
Winnc5ago.
We can well suppose shat the Republican
party would much prefer that DIR. DAVIS
should not come to Illinois. They want to
make g handle OF hostility TO the South
little longer, and cannot consent to anything
which would help on Cancellation and roo
them of much of their cie ctioneering capital.
We suppose, however. that the feelings oil the
people are we'll wrought up, warned by TIE
keen rcbeke Mr. DAVIS has given The WE
pehagos. The county OF Knox, rushing INTO
the breach, and holding her position IN sphe
of the deuunciations of the bigoss and m1'lg-
nauts. will gain credit and rcnown by her
condr G, and after all great deal oil gooa
will collc of Mr.. DAvIs's visit.

CHICKEN. STEALERs.-A Sapieut member OF
the negro convention in this city is shocked
at the idea that q chicken.stealer shall lose
his vote. We don't wonder at it. The de.
PRAYED state of political morals and the low
cond .tiop to which the right of suffrage has
been reduced make it not at all improper
that the chicken-stealer should be elevated
Why should not sheep.stealiug be also classed
among the harmless pursuits that should in
no wise affect mans political rights! II is
time that the wayward morality Of other
days should be squelcbed, and that gentle
men chicken. and sheep.stealers he looked
upon as patriots determined not TO die for
the want of food.

The Currency Question.

HON. A. II. STEPHENS ON CONTRACTION AND IN
FLATIoN- He Is In ACCORD wlTn rESDLEToS
AND ALLEN.
From the Rome Couricr.]
We publish to-day the views OF the Hon.
George II. Pendletou, the distinguished
atesman OF Ohio, upon the currency ques.
ton, which is now absorbing great deal of
attention, especially in the discussions of the
pending Ohio Campaign. These views are
those Of Governor Allen, the candidate for
reelection in that State. They are also the
views of Hon. A. II. Stephens-a three gen.
tlemeu being profound political economists,
who have spent great deal Of thought and
study upon the subject. These gentlemen do
not advocate imitation, nor are they 10 favor
o! contraction Their idea is to place the
currercy in healthy condition, to be equal
to the demands of trade.no more and 20
less to be contracted gradually, and specie
payments resumed through the process Of
legislation looking to that end as the cond.
ton of the county will permit, and as busi-
ness revives and our industrial interests be.
come more prosperous.
The country is in 10 condition to return
to specie.payments; neither is it in condi.
ton for a contraction of the currency. An
effort at either would collapse The people into
bankruptcy and ruin, and property would
become almost worthless. Thousands who
are in apparently favorable circumstances
would become besgars. This state of things
can only re remedied by a decrease of the
funded debt of the country, bearing heavy
interest, aud converting it INTO greenbacks,
which bear no interest. This would increase
the volume of currency equal to the demands
OF trade, and give prosperity TO the whole
country, and place our industrial and com.
merclal interests In a healthy state, when
gradual contraction, by judcious legislation,
could be made without detriment to The
common interests of all. In this way We
may arrive at q gradual resumption of specie
payments, coming down to IL us we would
desceud mountain, by taking advantage of
It's grades.
A sudden or rapid contraction of the cur
reuoy would have the effect OF Involving tie
debtor cluss in ruin. This can be illustrated
by simple example. Suppose A owes d
one hundred dollars, the debt stipulated
upon greeDb2ck basis. and was forced to
pay the debt 10 gold. TO procure the gold
it would require one hundred and thirteen
dollars and seyenty.fiye cents. II the debt
should be one thousand dollars, one hundred
and thirty seven dollars and fifty cents over
and above the debt in greenbacks would be
required to secure the gold as legal.teDder
OF the debtors obligation. Contract the

1t is pitiable TO read how the whites in GER

the negroes, whom, it is alleged, have Ell

1t is singular how regular the negroes decide
TO eytermiuate the whites, but it is equally
marvellous how The whites manage to turn
the tables on the blacks. About oncea year,

THE "Tru,v Southern Pacific.

With oil due respect and iraternal feeling
for our contemporary OF the Petersburg
Ne,cs, we take leave to say that his plan for
Southern Pacific railroad is the most i'm.
practicable thing that be could have invent
ed-that is, if he did invent it. The main
feature is the appointment by the Federal
Government of sundry Governors of south
ern States to take charge of the great enter,
prise aud direct its course to the Atlantic
upon the indispensable condition that they
shall make bridge at Memphis. Can oul
friend think it possible that Congress is gcine
to pass such measure as that?

A COOP WORD FOR RICHMoSD.-l From the
Viro;ntd Franklin county Monator] but
the question may be asked: Have we mar
l,ct south of Baltimore-a market nearer
home--tbat can offer Us advantages anything
like equal 10 these of Baltimore? We reply,
emnhltically, We have. We have SO often
urged our merchants to trade in that CITY
mat il is hardly cessary for us to say we
refer to Richmond. We honestly believe
that Richmond "a a dry goods market pos
sesses every advantage that Baltimore can
claim: and being further south-nearcr
home-she possesses one more advantage at
least for southern merchantS-tbat ofcheaper
freighIs.
But the greatest advantage to be cameo
nv patronzing our own markets would DE
the building up of our Stale industries and
ENTERPRISES, thereby enhancing the value OF
our property. A State rarely ever becomes
wealthy and pros porous without some great
cities, 1t is the great number OF cities ana
manufacturing towns which abound IN
northern and eastern States that contribute
30 largely to the prosperity OF those States:
While we of the South, with our lew and
northumberland cities and towns, are cry
inc for more money--iDfition-the people
of the North and East have more money
than they seem to know how to dispose OF,
for their cry is contraction-lcss moneys
speedy return to specie-payments.
OF course there are many causes why the
people Of the North are more prosperous
than the people of the South, but one OF the
principal causes of our unthriftiness is the
continual drainage Of our means, consequent
upon our support Of other cities, and the
failure to build up our own by besto"los
our patronage where it properly belongs.
We have not a word to say against any
other city, but we do claim the right to spec x
in behalf of our own c9pital-our heantIlul
Ricbmond-the best market in the Union Tor
all southern merchants.

The PennsgrOye Ferry.

CAPT. TAGaART ABANDoNs THE LINE-No IMME-
DIATE PROSPECT OF ANOTHER EFFORT.
In conversation at his Office in Philadelphia,
yesterday, Capt. E. b. Taggart informed COM
MERoIAL reporter that he should not run ferry
steamer between Wilmington and Pennsgrove,
this season. He has other more lucrative routes
for the steamers of the line of which he is one
of the managers, which will require all of them.
Capt Taggart also has grievances of private
and pecuniary nature which have influenced him
in reaching this determination.
With the withdrawal of Captain Taggart all
present hope of ferry across the river falls.
The subject of the establishment of new line
has been talked of, but thus far without any
definite results, and we are informed that it is
not very probable that anything will be done,
this season, by the gentlemen who have had the
matter under consideration. What action the
Jersey psople are taking we are not informed.
Yesterday morning, Col. French, proprietor of
the hotel at Pennsgroye, waited upon Capt
Taggart in relation to the withdrawal of his
steamers, and was assured that he (TaggarD
would not be in the way of any other enterprise
that might be started
Thus the matter rests with very little pros
poets for ferry this summer, unless the people
OF Wilmington and Jersey combine to start it,
This they will ultimately have to do. and the
sooner an earnest effert is made the sooner will
permanent line of communication be opened.

GLASGOW, DEL, May 10.
Last evening, spelling bee was given in the
Presbyterian Church, which was well attended.
party of young ladies' and gentlemen were
present from Newark.
After prayer and bible reading by the pastor,
Rev. MIR. Rogers, some fine music WAS furnished
by a choir. Then tho rules were read and the
contest opened. Rev. NJ. Rogers acted as Ped
agogue, and tho umpires were j. w. Cooch, G.

ford WAS the winner of tho first prize-Danas

Music and recitations, which were well render

A challenge was then accepted by the Newark
party to spell against the representatives of
Glasgow. Seven from Newark and eight from
Glasgow then took their places on the
platform, and the friendly con-
test was carried on until all the Glasgow side
were down and four of the Newark remained.
Victory was declared for Newark, and with ut
most good feeling each retired to the audience
to witness the awarding of the prizes and the
completion of the evenings programme.
