ONE of the last bills passed at the session
Just closed was one paying Mrs. James X.
Polk, widow of President Polk, 81 500 for
ten mules and two saddles taken from her
plantation in Yahbusha county. Mississippi,
by Union soldiers in 1863. There were no
vouchers showing that this property was
taken by orders from any officers. and the
claimants loyalty during the war was ques-
toned. But Congress pays the widow of
another President pension of $4,000 per
annum, and it was evident that Mrs. Polk
had lost her mules and never had committed
any act of fagrant hostility against the
United States. So the bill, which came
from the House. was passed by the Senate,
only Messrs. Boutwell, and Edmunds vot-

ROAD AccIDzNr.-By the collision at East
Montpelier. both locomotives, the Montpe-
lier and Sortell, were wrecked, and the cars

The Wool CLlP-The total wool clip Of
the United States, last year, was l93,OOO,-
900 pounds. This year, it will probably
tall little short of this Yet, in keeping
up this aggregate the States west of the Mis-
sissippi have increased their productions some
$1,000 900 pounds, an amount equal to the
decrease in the States east of the Mississippi.
Thus the better class Of cloth woods are fall
ing of, while the inferior qualities are in
creasing. Australian woods brings 81 cents
in the American market and only Is cents IN
the London market. But the Australian
grower can realize profit by selling his
clip at l. cents, while the American grower
requires 80 cents to make the same quality
of wool-growing profitable. Last year, at
the commencement of the clip the price
ranged from 30 to IS cents this year, 1t
was from 2S to 80 cents. wholly owing to
the prostraton in the manufacturing inter-
ests. The general opinion seems to be that
the recent rise of from to cents was
brought about by spectators, and that there
can be no real advance until there IS revival
of business in the manufacturing districts.

We have mentioned the fact that among
the speakers at the Hayes and Wheeler rat.
ifcation meeting in Bangor, Me-, on Friday
night last, was Mr.. Charles Ii. Treat, Of
Bath, who, as he said, has been Democrat
all his life long, as are nearly all his KIM
The Bangor Wig thus reports his re-
marks
The hardest person he had to convert, he
said. was himself, and he had weighed and
balanced the evidence until honestly con-
WINGED that duty required him to support
the Republican party. He found that the
Democratic party had drifted away from all
its noblest traditions for years consci-
entious and and intelligent Democrats
OF the North had been compelled to
submit to leadership which they could
not approve, and to indorse doctrines repug-
nant to their impulses The hard money
doctrines Of Benton had been thrust aside
for the pernici0us dogmas of initiation, and
the party banner that once bore proud in
scriptions had been made to cover wrongs
which only blind partisanship could toler-
to apologize for slavery, then to apologize
for rebellion, and since that to apologize for
the lawlesSness and outrage prevailing in
the South. lie had become tired of apollo
gizing for wrong. and when asked in the
name Of party to palliate and extenuate
such barbarity as shat at Hamburg,
his manhood revolted, and he would
no longer stihe honest convictions for
the sake of winning Southern votes.
lie referred to Governor Tilden's claim
to be hard money man and the fiat inc0n-
sisteney of the st. Louis platform which de-
manded a surrender of the inhationists In
stead of taking a step forward, and yindi-
eating his hard money pretensIons. Gov.
Tilden had turned back on his record and
favored repeating the clause fixing the date
for resumption. Last year, the whole ma
ton was watching the great struggle in
Ohio between honest money and wildcat doc
trines Of finance, and be knew many Demo-
crats who applauded when Gov. Hayes, the
Republican candidate, took up the party
standard, and raised It still higher, and de-
ciared himself more cmphatically in favor of
sound finance. lie had been told by Demo-
crats in Bangor that Gov. Tilden applauded
the courage of Gov. Hayes, and really used
influence in favor of his election But for
the brave honesty of the Republican candi-
date the country would have been afflicted
with the triumph of Bill Allen and rag
money and for the same reason that con-
strained Tilden last year 10 hope for the
election Of a Republican Governor Of
Ohio, the speaker proposed to labor for the
election OF Rutherford B. Hayes for Presi-
dent of the United States.

TIE JEWS.

Speaking o! religious denomin atoms, the
Catholics, who are by all odds the poorest
OF the denominations, can build the biggest
churches and raise money the easiest. The
Jews, without being under the control Of a
priesthood, nor subject to any influence
aside from belief IN their religion and a
devotion 10 it, build the most gorgeous
church eiiices Ofall. Their rev system on
5lh Avenue is the most honor to them a. a
people, and 1t will be long time before it
will be eclipsed. They arc more wealthy,
per capita, than any race on the continent,
and the orthodox jew believes in his reli-
gion with all the ieryOr of intelligent con-
victiOn. But the glory Is departing from
Israel. The young lsraelites are mingling

New YORK. Aug. 81. 1876.
John Jacob Asror, the son of William
B., is arranging for a monument to his
father, or rather the deceased As.ors which
will have no parallel in this country. 1t is
nothing less than an altar in old Trinity
Church, the designs for which are now be-
ing made in Munich, and which is 70 cost
over 100000. The Episcopalians have
held to Trinity for other reasons than that Of
reverence for the old church and it beauty.
The old New Workers went up town to live
very reluctantly, and with reason. for the
area below the post-office is thousand times
more pleasant than that above. They be-
lieve that in the course Of q few years the
lower wards will be again filed with a
dense population, and that consequently
old Trinity will again be centre for wealth
and fashion. Consequently they are spend
ing money lavishly upon hek and that is
why Mr.. Astor selected it t5Hhe church for
his memorial altar, in place of one up
town.
GRAND CATHEDRAL
Speaking of churches, the EpiscOpalians,
whose interests lie up town. have determined
to build cathedral that will eclipse in size
and style anything in the United States.
They have selected q tract of ground up

be the sole currency of the country and
it should. { the option of the holders,
be inter-convertible with government
certificates of Indebtedness at the lowest
rate of interest which shall be found
sufficient to make government bonds
worth their par value in coin.
Under such a system, no run" could
be made on the national treasury-im-
pairing the public credit. There could
be no undue expansion or contraction of
the Currency by Congress as its volume
would be regulated by the unerring law
of demand and, supply; its value would
depend, not on the popular delusion that
it may. at any moment. be converted
into coin, but on the solid and substan-
tial fact that it would, at all times. be
convertible, at its face value, measured
by the coin standard. into everything
that the whole people of the United
States own and produce; it would ena-
BILE the government to supply itself with
coin. at par. to pay its interest on the
public debt it would carry a large por-
ton of that debt without interest-thus
relieving the country of a corresponding
portion of its burden of taxes; and
finally, it would be the cornerstone of a
national financial system that would
stand mistaken and unimpaired as long
as the Government itself endures.
