The Ohio Democracy solemnly de-
mapded not only a continuation OF
the Republican issue of deprecated
currency, but an increased volume
Now, it did not call for Brown-Se-
Guards double brain to know that
there was but one way in which this
Increased volume could be accom-
plished, and that was to fetch the
Goyernme1 into the field as pur-
chaser, either through war or vast
system ofinternal improvements. The
last was known to be the favorlte
scheme of the wise men who thus
committed the party to bankruptcy or
Reputation. 1t WAS seriously pro-
posed tina. the political organization
that boasts of being born of Jefferson
aud trained by Jackson, Benton and
Buchanan; that antagonized personal
government and Gale ed for strict
construction of the Constitution; that
proclaimed reform and believed in an
economical administration, should
cover the land with projected railroads
and canals, that labor might be con-
ciiated and supported as under some
despotic government in Europe, and
the country flooded With deprecated
or worthless paper, in the shape OF
currency, in payment thereof.
Under this novel proposition the evils
Of Republicanism, the thieves in office,
he corruptions Of Washington, the
bayonet rule in the South, the hard
times and heavy taxation, were all for
gotten in fierce fight over a political
abstraction that divided the Democracy
and offended all sensible men. The
money power was not slow to discover
the opening, and the poor Democrat
| was amazed to find all the old corrupt
machinery that oils the poles again IN
easy working order, and what he had
s, VOC ferously de manded, in an in
| creased volume of currency, was being
complied With in a way far more in
structive than pleasant. 1t is not gen
orally known, hut it will be demon
strative by the House of Representa-
| lives. that the Government here can
swell the volume OF currency uncheck-
d whenever the exigencies of an cleo
ZION calls for snch increase. We are
assured from all sides, and have no
reason to doubt the fact, that money
has been more freely used in the late
| elections than in the more prosperous
times of the Administration. We dc
lot mean by this SO much charge OF
bribery as the quite as offensive use
IF money in stimulating political ex
element in the way of mass meetings
windy orasioua, and the food Of pollt
| ical literature that is about as dirty as
it is stupid.

Capt. Plato Durham died at his
home in Shelby, on Tuesday mornit g,
after brief iIlpess.
Coming into prominence as a
member Of the Constitutional Con-
vention of 1868, he endeared himself
to the people of the State by his ser,i
ces in that body, ard especially by hi
bold and able fight against the corrup
tons of the dominant party by which
our State was ruined. No one of the
small but gallant band of Democrats
in that Legislature did more to expose
the scoundveis who were pluudering
the State, and none left with so great
a hold upon the public.
His political errors sine" we know
were caused by the eff ,rts to save
tho.e agsilst whom the Government
had direct its blows for participation
in the Ku KIrx troubles which pre-
vailed in that section.
His last public sesvice was in the
recent Constitut :ouaI Convention.
The people of North Clrolina will
long bold in grateful remembrance
the services Of Captain Durham in the
Conve ntion of 1865, and the Legi@la-
ture which folio we'd, when almost sim
gle-handed, he had the courage to
fight corrupt power, when fear and
policy closed the months If others.
The great popularity and Influence lie
maintained at home through ali his
political tronb'ee, shows the character
OF the man and the confidence Which
his neighbors had in him. Forgetting
all else the people of North Carolina
will long rene mber the debt of graft
tude which they owe to him.

GRANT AND THE TRIKD TERM

This world is made for Caesar,
as Cato said, for ambitious, false or
fiattering people to domineer in. Had
Cato lived in America during the mid
die Of the lest half of the Dinteenth
century. instead OF at the close of the
Roman Republic, he would have adj
ded "rOgHi&h" to this list of compli-
mertary adiectives. And, as after
the battle of Pharasalia he despaired
of checking the accommodating powers
of Cfe sarism aud committed suicide, so
now after the great Pharsaiian contest
10 Pennsy iyal.ia, he might have been
tempted to voluntarily surrender his
life at the American Utica, in sheer
dependency of checking the accumu,
lating powers Of the American Caesar.
Our American Caesar has fresh
dish of food served up to his
liking, in the recent Northern and
Northwestern elections. It has no
doubt wonderfully strengthened his
failing nerves. The interval of time
betweea the present, and the assem-
king Of Congress will be consumed Ia
weary calculation, and balancing of
expedients whilst making up his mes
sage to that body. For this worK the
political results i'll Ohio, Pennsylvania
Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wis
consin, have given him renewed ener-
gy, and renewed ambition. Before
these elections transnired, Old lack
Chandler had assisted him in care

cope. IT was decided that his dog

OF coaxiDg it back to the ascendant,

must be brought in to play. The
freedom shriekers were already infa-
ting their lungs and clearing their
Threats to welcome their pet-inonkey

must not only SEQ that the negro is
