HIS remarks on the
CURRENCY QUESTION
are very interesting and instructive, but
too lengthy to be noticed at length. He
contends that the act of 1873 destroying
the legal tender value Of the silver dol
lar is a great hardship upon the debtor
class, since silver has been introduced
into the country as currency, while this
act has hsd the effect to reduce its rate
one-htth or twenty cents on the dollar,
while the same legislation has had the ef'
feet to increase the value of gold, SO that
gold being made the only legal tender
for the payment of debts after that act
goes into effect in 1879, the creditor gains
largely in wealth as the result sf this
legislation, while
TIE DEBTOR is MADE CoRREsPoNDINGLY
POOR.
That the effect OF the three acts, the first
to require the bonds to be paid in coin,
the act to demonitize silver, and make
gold the only tender, and the act to force
the resumption Of specie psymentin 1879,
is legislsting millions OF dollars into the
hands of the creditor and out Of the
hands Of the debtor.

FIRST RATE SPEECH,
one that more than satisfied his friends
here, as we understand from others,
he has done all along the line ever since
he has been in this part of the district.
He stands up under the great strain
on mind and body much better than we
expected to see him able to do so early
after bis severe illness last spring. Col
Wilson will poll the full Democratic

made short speeches, the time having
been occupied chiefly by Hutchinson and
Wilson. Mr.. Maxwell's speech was
such rs to merit little comment, and Mr..
Turner's has been sufficiently alluded to
already. Mr.. Turner is highly educated
young man, of fine promise, and will
make his mark. He is well worthy of
the position which he seeks, and no doubt
he will be elected by handsome
majority.
Col. Byrne was present to day, but on
account of the fact that the time was all
taken up by the candidates, he had no
opportunity to speak We would have
been much pleased to hear him. We
learn from others that his speeches have
been well received wherever he has had

QUERY.

Is General GoFF trying to steer clear
of HENRY 5. WALKER by sailing down
into the Third district just as Mr..
WALKER lands in this section, or is 1t just
one of those little incidents over which
one has no control? The Monon-
gala Republicans look at it in
the light of premeditated plan on the
part of the doughty General, and though
he loved his constituents over at Morgan
town much, and would have liked TO
have smiled upon them, he loved still
more to put as much real estate between
HENRY and himself as the limits of our
Young commonwealth would permit.
Col. MILLS judicious use of powder
and lead, instead of fat bullocks and
sugar and molasses, has had salutary
effect in humbling the pride Of the proud
red man of the forest. And kILL.EAGLE
and LlrTLE-W oUND, participants IN the
late fight, have surrendered their
forces and munitions Of war, and ask to
be received as good Indians. A vigor-
Gus prosecution OF the advantage oo
tained will soon bring the "untutored
savage" to his senses, and all danger of a
repetition the CUSTER massacre will be
dispelled.

Advices from the seat of war in Turkey give

Fighting for the Flag.

Perhaps one of the bitterest regrets
the officers and men of the Seventh
Cavalry will have for the unfortunate
result of the battle of the Little Big
Horn will be the loss of their standards.
Gen. Custer carried with him into &C
ton Old that occasion not only his old
division flag, but the regimental stand
ards, both of which were captured by
the Indians. In addition to the division
and regimental flags, Custer lost five
guidons carried by the five companies
that were with him. Col. Reno on his
field lost three OF the seven guidons
carried into bat lie. Nothing is known
of the fighting around Clusters flags,
but the battle on Reno's side ragged
fercest whenever the smaller tailed flags
appeared. Again and again the color
sergeants were shot down and their
places Immediately filed by others.
About one flag three men were killed
and wounded, but it was at last borne
off the field in safety. Lieut.. De Ru
dio, seeing q troop-fag fall, dismounted
and picked it up, and carried it away
through volleys from the Indian line,
but he afterward lost it in the timber,
where it became entangled in the branch
es of tree, and before he could loosen
it the Indians charged and captured it.
For this battle of the Little Big Horn
the Indians have no less than ten OF our
battie-fags to show as evidence OF their
bravery and prowess. -C0r. Nea0 York

Messrs. Morton, Sargent, and Cooper are the

The Blaine constitutional amendment which
recently passed the lower house OF Congress
bv an almost unanimous vote, was as follows
ResoJUed, By the Senate and House OF hep
resentatiyes of the United States of America IN
Congress assembled, two-thirds OF each House
concurring therein, that the following be
proposed to the several States of the United
States as an amendment to the constitution,
namely:
ART. 16. No State shall make law re-
speeding an establishment of religion, or pro-
bibiting the free exercise thereof; and no
money raised by taxation in any State for the
support of the public schools, or derived from
any public fund therefor, nor any pubic lanos
devoted thereto shall ever be under control OF
any religious sect or denomination nor snail
anv funds so raised, or lands so used, be oil
vided among any religious sects or denomlna-
tons. This article shall not vest. enlarge, Oh
diminish the legislative power in Congress.
The Committee on Expenditures IN the De-
psrtment of Justice made majority and mlnorl-
tv reports to the House last week. The majority
reportrecommends the restriction of the Juolci-
ary fund to so, 500, 900; finds that Davenport, o-
naryisor of Elections in New York, has not
accounted for 1874, 900 given him from the Ku-
K1ux fund. and that the President and two
Attorney Generals (Akerman and Willlams)
who supplied Davenport with the $34'OoO
diverted it from the proper purpose to
one entirely foreign to the objects OF the law.
It is recommended, therefore, that the office OF
Supervisor of Elections be abolished, and that
the election laws of Congress be repealed Or
if not repealed, that strict accounting shall be
made of the Ku-Klux fund, no part of 1t to be
used in the machinery of elections that the
ATTORNEY General take the necessary steps TO
recover the 1874, 900 unaccounted for; and that
no person be allowed to hold more than one
Office under the United States Government.
The minority report says that the majority re-
port is merely a campaign document, defends
John I. Davenport, and claims that instead OF
censure, Akerman, Williams and Davenport are
entitled to commentator.
