BALDWIN shows ready SIKH IN his method or

nothing more than slelght-of-hand, and nothing

We have no children, but could

by for young people to put off marriage

GREENBACKS.

The Greenback Convention, which
assembled at Detroit, did not create
much enthusiasm, there being at no
time over seven hundred persons pre-
sent. The action of the convention
has been pretty clearly foreshadowed
the gist of the resolution being that
it was the duty of the people to make
loan to the Government when
called upon to do so, and of the lat
ter to provide currency that would
be sufficient for the needs of the peo-
pie, which should be interchangea-
BILE with bonds at the vile of the
holder, and favoring the issue of
bonds or certificates, bearing inter-
est not to exceed 1856 per cent. to the
amount of the Government debt. A
mass meeting was held in the morn
ing, seats being provided for ten
thousand people, but only six hun
dred were present.

WEBB WINS.
The Greatest Physical Feat
of the Century.

NEW YORK, August 90. = The
Herald's special cable from London,
gives the following details of Cap
tain Webb's great swim across the
English Channel:
He started from Dover at one
O'Clock in the afternoon, and at half
past five was progressing at the rate
of twenty strokes per minute, the
sea and weather being favorable. He
was furnished with ale and beef tea !;
again at eight P. NJ, with beef tea
and beer.
After that he rested ON his back
for while. At o'clock he became
troubled with sea weed, and at IL he
took a draught of cod liver oil. At
Z a. m. a westealy breeze sprung up
and a chopping sea followed making
the prospect exceedingly discourag-
ing. At 1910 Webb stood on French
soil, tired of course. He WIS con-
veyed to hotel, rubbed down and
put to bed.
At one O'Clock he was TRANQUILITY
sleeping, and the doctors had no fear
of any serious consequences.

IMPORTANT DECISION OF sECRE,

IMPORTANT DECISION OF SECRE-
TARY BRIsTOw.
NEW YORK, August IA Wash
ington dispatch states that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has rendered
the following important decision in
reference to the five-twenties of 1865,
May and November, and the FIVE
twenties of 1865, January and July.
The books and records of the depart
ment show that five-twentieso of 1865,
May and November, known as old
$685. were the first of these two
loans issued, the date of issue being
October 21st, 1865, while the consols
of 1866, January and July, known
as new $751; although the bonds
bear on their face the date of July
1st, 1865, were not issued until De-
tober 9Th, 1866; therefore it follows
that the five-twenties of 1866. May
and November, known as the old
$685. being first issued under the
law must be first called. The date
given on the face of The bonds is not
to be taken as the date of the issue,
but the fact as established by records
of the department in the application
of the law.

IN EXTRACT.

The following extract from an ed1-
torial in the Louisville (Ky.) Courier
Journal, the leading Southern news
paper, may be taken as a fair in
dication Of the sentiments entertain
ed by the Southern people. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY from the pen of Henry Wat
terson one of the strongest writers of
the day:
eve are for hard money and
against rag money. We are for con-
traction to the extent that contrac-
tion may be necessary to reach specie
payments. We are for paying the
national debt in gold, dollar for dol
lar. The drift in Ohio is against all
this; in our judgment, if it be i'm
PEELED by the success of Governor
Allen, will push forward with speed
and force which no conversation can
resist. The agrarian elements are
waiting for chance. If they are
given it, they will use it, and to some
purpose. There is no middle ground
to stand upon.
Plenty of rags, or none, is the cue,
and rags enough to make the poor
richer and the rich poorer, is repudia-
ton. AS we have said, the election
of Allen will make greenbacks
against Grantism the issue of the
next Presidential campaign. We re-
greet the issue. We prefer a canvass
of reason and intelligence. But, if
the issue is forced upon us, we shall
not hesitate to prefer the repudia-
tion of the national debt to the re-
nunciation Of the national principle
of existence. In other words, if
forced to choice of evils, we shall
take Allen, freedom and dishonor,
against Grant, despotism and dis
honor.
The South is at the present mo-
ment without any policy. Its course
will be induenced-will be controlled
by the result in Ohio. If Allen
carries the State by an overwhelm-
ing majority, the South will unite,
as one man, upon Allen and green
backs 1876. If Allen is beaten the
South will unite upon Tilden and
hard money. In one event we shall
fly the flag of reputation, in the
other the ensign of reform. The
South is thus political adventurer,
and the North has made it so.
We are ripe for enterprises and
ready for anything and everything
that turns up. 1t is our nature to be
slow and honest. Let us alone, give
us fair currency and decent
tariff, release us from bondage, po-
litical and moral, and we shall be
well content to pay our share of the
public debt, foreign and domestic.
Keep us in suspense, refuse us JUS
tice, and, not unnaturally, we shall
look to revolutions to secure us what
might better have come through con-
sentative agencies.
Initiation is revolution. We do not
prefer it, but, used to misfortunes,
we are not afraid of it. The truth is,
we have been so prostituted that
we are afraid Of nothing, and shall
shape our course as we think we
see the cat jump. The Ohio cat
seems sufficiently lively and black,
and if it jumps high enough in the
air, we shall toss our cap after it. If
it misses its mark, we shall kick it
with the rest of the country.

"SEEINe is believing" and if
Kelley, the new motor man, will do
as he promises, the world will soon be

claim. 1t is now stated that a sta
tionary engine will be completed
within three or four weeks, when q
private exhibition will be given to
members of the press at Mr.. Kee-
ley's residence. The machine, it is
reported, is now under perfect con-
troll, and while an immense power
can be generated in an instant, yet
such improvements have been made
as to allow the engineer to so manip-
ulate it as to reduce the pressure from
fifteen pounds to the square inch
down to zero. Impressed, as the
community generally is, that Kelley
is humbug or enthusiast, it will re-
quire pretty strong evidence to bring

THE determined and probably sue
cessful effort to murder merchant
in New York on Monday by burg
lar who had entered his premises fol
lowing close upon similar case in
Brooklyn, should admonish all per-
sons Of the danger of interviewing
that class of criminals without a well
loaded shotgun or revolver to fall
back upon, or rather to begin with.
A stranger found upon the locked-up
premises of another, should be shot
down upon the instant without wait
ing for explanation or parley. A Sc
cond's delay gives the burglar all the
opportunity he wants, and from that
moment the life of the innocent citi-
zen is in jeopardy. The thief goes
armed, ready and determined to kill
if necessary to carry out his purposes
or to prevent capture. The only
chance, therefore, that the person de-
predated upon has to save either his
property or his life is to get the first
fire. And this he should get as quick
ly as possible, availing himself mean
time of every attainable advantage
in his favor. We don't know whe-
ther this is the statute law upon the
subject of burglary or not, but it is
clearly the law of self-preservation
and we think it is safe to say that
the average American jury will see
that it doesn't go hard with citizen
who not only protects himself but the
whole community by acting upon it.
