APARrY OF MIcAwBERs.

The illustrious Dickens little thought
that his exquisite satire on the weakness
and frivolity Of human nature embodied
in the character Of Micawber, would
and actual and living exsmplsrs in the
persons Of the members OF large and
influential party now existing in tine
United States. All remember the rigor-
Gus accuracy with which Mr.. Micawber
calculated his debts. the interest there
on and the graceful earne.t dignity with
which he gave his note for the total
amount. He threw such ON air of
serious business solemnity over the
farce, that his creditors almost believed
they were or would be paid. It required
the mocking incredulity Of an unfeeling
world to demonstrate that promise was
not performance, that retiring one un-
fulfilled promise by the issuance Of an
other equally unreliable was not pay
ment. These propositions would seem
30 self evident that argument would fail
to render them any clearer. Yet in spite
Of all that, in the United States q very
large party of all shades Of political
opinion have adopted the maxims and
principles Of Micawber. They propose
to pay the dishonored national pro-
misses to pay with other promises equally
insecure. That the obvious termination
of such proceeding could only be ma
tional bankruptcy and total loss OF
national credit seems never TO strike
these solons. They do not think of such
an inevitable conclusion 10 their schemes,
but say like Micawber. that they will pay
principal and interes! and end
like him with giving their note.
All this talk about cheap money, expan-
sive currency, are so many fine phrases
that actually mean nothing, and only are
used by people to conceal their ignor-
ance. Dollars are one thing and prom
ises to pay are another. When the Gov
eminent of the United States issues its
note wherein it promises to pay certain
sum, 1t either means something or moth
ing. II the former, it ought to redeem
its promises; II the latter, ii ought not
to have made them. Neither the United
States or any other power can make
something out Of nothing. 1t cannot
give any intrinsic value to scrap Of
paper by writing or printing few words
upon 1t. The only value the paper can
acquire is from the nature Of the obliga-
tion thus inscribed upon it. Whatever
these words import, so will the paper be
more or less valuable; that is, il the
words carry verify and are credited. A
dollar greenback becomes valuable sim
ply because the United States promises
to pay dollar on presentation. Now II
It refuses to pay when presented the &C.
quired value Of the paper vanishes. This
fact the currency mongers ignore and
propose to enrich the country by plung
ing 1t irretrievably in debt and refusing
to discharge it's obligations. In other
words, to make any amount Of promises
to pay any amount Of money and neve,
keep any of them. This is heightened
platform for political party is it mott
1t is very ready way to conquer fnan-
cial difficulties by indefinitely increasing
them. is it not9 Those propositions are
the pet plans Of the party of the Mioaw
bers.

bones Of his foot and ankle we're so badly
crushed that IL was found necessary TO
amputate the leg at point few inches
below the knee. Ii was not long before
Mr.. Scion became very uneasy and nm
ally suffered so much pain that all The
opiates the attendants dared TO give him
did no good. Thinking something was
wrong at the point where the leg bad
been cot of. Mr.. Solon's friends sent Tor
DR.. Harris. Mr.. Scion then entered into
q more particular account OF his suffer
ings. He said that the feeling was as
though his toes wero doubled under his
foot and be was standing With his whole
weight on that foot; also that there
seemed to be knife sticking in his leg,
the pain from which was very severe.
DR.. Harris then asked where the foot was.
He was told that Mr.. Scion had taken q
notion to have 1t and that il had been
brought from the Office of DR.. McMeans
and placed in the bureau drawer. DR..
Harris went to the drawer and unrolled
the cloth, found that the toes were
doubled back under the foot, and further
found sticking in the skin Of the calf OF
the leg tenaculum, which is an instru-
ment in the snaps Of hook, with fne,
sharp point. used In taking up arteries.
In hastily wrapping up the foot to send it
back DR.. McMeaus had forgotten to re-
move this hook, which he had been
using in holding back the skin while
dissecting the crushed ankle. DR. Harris
removed the instrument and placed the
foot in an easy and natural position.
when Mr.. Scion declared that he was
free from pain and felt quite easy; in
deed. he fell asleep in few minutes and
slept we'll and soundly. DR.. Harris says
he has heard of similar cases. but this
is the first thing OF the kind he has ever
met with in his practice. Neither DR.
Harris nor DR.. McXeans can offer any
explanation OF the phenomenon. DR.
McMeans is OF the opinion that 1t may
be owing to the two parts OF the limb be.
ing connected for time by some subtle
fluid. something like electricity, the exact
nature Of which remains to be discovered

We are surprised that man of such
evenness of temper as Mr.. johnson, Of
the Gazette" looks 10 have, should
lose his temper and enter into q quarrel
with the leader of mob. 1t tends to do
no good, only to stir up and continue
the strife on that side which has been no
unfortunate as to be falsely taught. The
better Judgment of the city will prevent
anything further than silly babling COM
ing out of this, and we are even sur
prised that Mayor Whiteley should have
banded words with those who have a
leadership in boot blacks.-Heraid, Aug. l.
A number of gentlemen have taken
the trouble to call at our Office and ex-
press the appreciation and pleasure they
felt in reading our denunciation of this
mob and its leader" and great
many others have stopped us on the
street to express to us their commenda-
tion. These gentlemen have been of
both parties and men of all classes, from
the most wealthy and influential to the
humble workingman and mechanic. But
we will venture to assert that not one of
these gentlemen will say that they wit
messed anything in US indicating loss
of temper" On the contrary, we have
been moved entirely by sense of duty
to this community; to the men who were
being led astray and desire to ward on
threatened danger, which was, in the
minds of many rapidly accumulating
And this too, is the first time we have heard
the wise and prudent action of the
Mayor called in question. We have not
been actuated by party politics, nor was
the Mayor. Our city has not yet been
dlsgraced by mob" as the Herald sees
proper to term the workingmen's meet
ing. But how so:n it might have been
had not the Mayor acted as he did, W,
do not know. We believe the mel
themselves, with few exceptions, nov
approve the action of the Mayor. Sus
tanned as his course has been by the bes
citizens and also by the heads Of tn
church, We think the Herald goes out O
its way to call in question his acts. o.
consideration we think the editor Of tn
Herald will find the Mayor said as littl
as he could, and acted precisely With
legal bounds.

The PARTY RULKs.-A vote is to be
taken upon the adoption Or rejection Of
the new rules to govern the Democratic
Party of this county, on Saturday next
at the voting places in the several Hnd-
dreds or election districts. All men
cannot think alike. We are confident
the committee did the best they could
and hope the rules will be adopted. They
are an improvement on the old rules in
several particulars, and there seems to
be no objection urged to them that does
not rest equally against the old ones,
which will continue to govern the party
if these are rejected. To adopt the new
ones therefore is a step forward. They
can as easily be amended as the old ones.
