THE ISSUE FAIRLY STATED.

In his speech at Morris last week the Hon
Alex. Campbell thus fairly and in a nutshell
stated the exact difference between himself
and his opponent for congress in this dis
trlct, Philip e. Hayes, on the currency ques
ton:
l have shown from Gen. Hayes own state
ments:
1st. That he is opposed to the remonetiz
ing of silver by restoring the silver dollar OF
37l 4 grains of pure silver as the unit of val
ue, and a legatender for any amount what,
ever He says the statutes of the United
States defines dollar to be a coin weighing
25 $40 grains of standard gold and that it is
q dollar of this kind that IS meant, when 1t
says on the greenback bill 1.-THE United States
will pay the bearer one dollar" Consequent
" he Is in honor bound to insist upon that
kind of payment of all the public debt.
Cd Gen. Hayes is opposed to the repeal
of the resumption act, under the operation
of which every dollar of the legal-tenders,
or greenbacks now in circulation, will be re.
tired and destroyed, for he says we must
keep hands off, and let the financial law now
in force entirely alone.
3D. He is manifestly in favor of continu-
ing the national banking system, as the me-
dunn through which the currency is to be
furnished to the people at double and extor-
tionate rates of interest.
Now if you believe with Gen. Hayes, that
it is best for you and for all the noA-voting
class, whom you represent and act for, that
these laws should remain in force, then you
are in duty bound 10 vote for him.
On the other hand, | am in favor re-mOne-
tIzing silver, by restoring the silver dollar OF
All Il grains of pure silver az the unit of val
ne, and legaltender for any amount what
ever-what it was before the passage OF the
act of 1878.
ID | am in favor of the repeal of the act
providing for resumption of specie payments
1st of January, 1879. First, because | regard
il as a standing menace to all new business
enterprises, and as highly detrimental to the
general business interests of the country.
Second, because it authorizes, and under its
operation every dollar of the legal tenders (or
Creenback) now in circulation will be con-
verted into interest bearing bonds and destroy
ed, as fast as they come into the Treasury af-
Ter the LIST of January, 1879.
3d. | am in favor of substituting for the
national bank circulation full legal tender
currency issued directly to the people In the
payment of the debts and current eXpenGi-
lures of the Government. This currency TO
be Interconvertible at the option OF the holder
with Registered Government bonds bearing
an equitable rate of interest, not to exceed
800 per cent. per annum.
Now, il your views accord with mine IN
respect to these questions then | can fully re-
present you, and il elected will endeavor to
the best of my ability to faithfully discharge
the trust committed to my keeping.

terrific thunder storm passed over the city
early on Saturday morning, during which the
barn OF Mr.. Giles w. Jackson, living on East
Pearl St, in the second ward, was struck by
lightning and set on fire. In a short time the en-
tire building was burned including its contents,
horse and buggy. The horse is supposed to
have been killed 10y the lightning, however. The
loss is in the ncighbOrhOod Of 800, there being
no insurance on building or contents. The dwell
ing Of Mr.. J. Wood, just west, was at one time in
much danger, the wind driving the flames fierce
" toward it, but through the timely and cncrget-
ic action of friends and ncighbors, escaped with
out injury. The steamer with plenty OF hose
was promptly out, but the difficulty was in get
ting the hose laid. The mud was heavy and the
carte heavy, and though the boys worked like
heroes it was found almost impossible for the
tiremen handling each cart to progress very rap
idly without help, which was very sparngly
given by the citizens looking on, If at all. 1t
seems TO us that large, strong horse would be
the correct thing to drag these carts throug the
mud, especially the stiff sticky mud Of the win
ter, it is killing on men as everybody knows to
run at full speed mile or two dragging cart
weighing 26OO or $500 pounds, and tins is not
done save in a few towns too poor TO purchase
horses. Very few men would do this work, but,
emitting that view Of the subject the efficiency
Of the department could be greatly increased by

Joint Discussion.

On Thursday evening was held joint discus
cussion between Messrs. Henry Mayo ard T. J.
Wall. rival candidates for the Office of States
Attorney The R,piJiie1H had ''dueT Mr.. Wal!
to meet his opponent in formal, open discus.
sion, and Mr. Wall promptly responded. The
meeting was held in Turn Hall, which was early
crowded with republicans aud democrats. Nj.
Lothrop Perkins, President Of the Tilden Club
presided at the meeting, and announced the con.
ditons Of the debate: Mr.. Mayo to lead in an
hours speech. Mr. Wall to follow in a speech Of
an hour and a half; and Mayo to close in half an
hour SO Mr. Mayo lead oil in the usual style OF
a radical speech: rehashed the old story Of the
Missouri compromise, the war; TIldeu's dis.
loyalty; democratic disloyalty ard republican
purity. For example, he said the democratic
house or doorkeeper had removed 81 union sol
diers and appointed in their places & rebels Of
the deepest dye; but somehow his figures look
curious when 1t is known that Of l23 appoint
ments made by the doOrkecper Of the i4th con-
gress only tn were given TO members ef the
confederate army AID 3 to union soldiers. He
might have added that in 1874, q I53 appoint

That was mean and cruel, on the part OF
Tilden, to wait until the republicans had a
bandoned the bloody shirt as an electioneer
ing device and committed themselves to the
pretentlous rebel claims sham, and then turn
around and demolish it by crushngly con
elusive letter. And the worst of it is, thai
the democrats and conservatives of the South
as soon as they see It's text, as cordially en-
dorse it as the democrats ofthe north do. The
south say, 1--WE don't want the peoples mon
ey-we want less taxation and we want good

The British polar expedition, about which
so many high expectations were INDUCED,
has returned at the end of Its allotted two
years, without being able to report any very
remarkable results. The highest latitude
reached was 1920, at which point no land
was discernlble to the northward. The fur
ther passage of the expedition in that direc.
ton was blockaded by impenetrable ice. 1t
will be remembered that Captain Hall, in his
last voyage, reached point within four geo.
graphical miles of that now claimed by the
English vessels, Captain Halls observations
fixing his northermost latitude at S2:16. These
efforts may as well be accepted as definitely
showing that the pole cannot be reached by
way of Smiths Sound.

In 1874, the people of Nebraska applied for
1000 rifles in order to defend their homes
against the Sioux Indian Congress refused
to let them have arms. But congress permit
ted the Indian agents in Dacotah to sell 5000
repeating rifles in 1875 to Sitting Bull and
his men; with these arms Custer and his sol
diers were massacred. At the same time coz
gress distributed 100000 worth of rifles
among the negroes of South Carolina, who
companies are disbanded and their arms TAX
en- from them.
