RUssELvILLE, Aug. 31.-Our citizens
listened to-day to one of the strongest,
most logical and satisfactory addresses on
finance that we have heard for many cay,
from the Hon. Franklin L snders, our can
didste for Congress in this district. Our
people are suffering. and while anxious for
relief, they are scanning and putting to the
test of their own consideration and
thought all theories before they will
adopt any particular one. With
their property largely decreased in
value, aud no demand even at these re-
duced prices, our farmers and mercbsnis,
with no currency tn carry on business and
dark future of still less prosperity star
ing them in the face, feel that only those

dies can have any consideration now. The
nesting here to-day was the largest that
has been held here this year, and no meet

in his speech, backed as it was by Repub-

Mr. Blaine has to-day more strength in Illinois
than any other candidate. Singular as it may seem
in the East his amnesty speech greatly strengthened
him here, and his financial speech somewhat weak
ened him. The net result, however. is that he Is
stronger than he was when the present session OF
Congress opened. The secret of this is said to be
that there is dash about him--a combativeness-
that suits the Western people. But 1t must be re-
membered that nobody claims that Mr.. Blaine
will have the entire Illinois delegation on any OF
the preliminary ballots; it is only SAID that, rs
matters stand to-day, he is believed to be the
choice of a majority of the Republicans of the
State. After MIR. Blaine, Gov Hayes is said to be

Egypt" play founded on Bulwer Lyt-
toms novel " Lucille" and now being
played at the Museum Theater, N. Y:
The story goes that a plain young girl
devotedly loves and is betrothed to a
temporarily blind man, who being re-
stored to his sight falls at the feet of a
handsome cousin and transfers his atfec-
tions. Lucille gives him up to the
beauty, who proves bit of retributve
justice and deserts him. The scamp
goes off fighting to Egypt, and then
the sand gets into his weak eyes, and
settles him for the hand organ business
for life. Lucille, just like all forgiving,
angelic womanhood, now that he is
stone blind, takes him back and gets
her great reward(N l have thus briefly

A PRINTERS DRAMA printer sat
in his office chair, his boots were patched
and his coat threadbare, while his face
looked weary and worn with care, while
sadly thinking of business debt, old Nor
pheus slowly round him crept, and be-
fore he knew it he soundly slept; and
sleeping, he dreamed that he was dead,
from trouble and toll his spirit had fed,
and that not even COW bell tolled, for
the peaceful rest OF his COW hide sole.
As he wandered among the shades, that
smoke and scorch in lower Hades, he
shortly observed an iron door, that creak-
ingly swung on hinges ajar, but the en-
Satan himself stood peepng out, and
watching for travellers thereabout, and
thus to the passing printer spoke, and
with growing voice the echoes woke:

nothing and never fear; this is the place

mouths with red hot wire; and then, dear
sir, you should see them squirm while 1

and thought it all practical joke; but

often he thinks with chuckle and grin,
OF the fate of those who save their tin,

, "Irr'epressib|le Conflict"

l s 49, : Z =. ~ -
In "a recent number tfof Harper's
Weekly, there is q very elaborate edi-
torial article which, attempts to draw
distinction, philosophically, between
the North and South. .The,inference is
that the North, through the Republican
party, represents 4 high civilization
and tho South, through Democracy, a
quasi barbarism. It would be tedious
and improbable to take up this article
point by point and relate It dialecti-
cally. But asfew facts suffice. If the
Itree is to he Judged by its fruits,
theory must be Judged by its results.
Since the Radical Republican philoso-
| ply has been applied to the science Of
government in this country, what an
| Unparalleled saturnalia Of barbarism
and crime haslbeen the outflow, net to
speak Of commercial collapse and pc.
Iitical depravity., The only check up
on this cancerous progress Of "Repub-
|licann ideas ami practice has been to
roll back. the invasion, as far as possi-
bic, especially in the South. Whipper
land Moses in South Carolina represent
the Garrisonian theory as applied by
reformer Chamberlaiy who is now ter
rifed at his own work and laboring to
make it respectable, by crying out that
from a monstrous parent q progeny
other than vile must spring, in order to
maintain power and respectability.-
What Chamberlain and his horde have
EdoIe for South Carolina, the Republi.
can idea has attempted to do for the
whole South, and, mntalis mntandis,
for the whole country. There never
was any barbarism in the South until
Radicals introduced their accursed
philosophy, and the bankruptcy that
Ihovers over tile North is only a logical
consequence of what we have been
compelled to endure.
Next let the philosophers Of Harper's
Weekly; aided and abetted by the ma
chinatlona Of Morton, Blaine g. Co.,
proceed with their programme. We
lIave reached hard pan, ard cannot be
worsted: but the day Of reckoning has
to come for our brethren beyond the
border, and we know Of no better way
Of accelerathsg that plunge to perdition
than by electing, a Republican Presi-
dent on the tissues of the war;" If
THEY can stand it, We can. But let
them understand, onceofor all, that q
