We had q grand time here to day
Col. Ben. Wilson, our candidate for Con-
gress, spoke to large audience OF most
attentive citizens, in the Methodist
Church His speech was able and elo'
quent and gave entire satisfaction. he
will poll larger vote than ever before
Col. Byrne also made an able speech.
Both speeches were able, eloquent and
convincing.
Wotfindin's apostacy will not change
one vote in this end of our county. We
have some trouble in our county politics,
but that will have no effect on the State,
Congressional or Presidential ticket.

The house of representatives has passed

Several amendments were suggested, but
all were remorselcSsly set aside. The pur-
pose underlying tins clearly is to mark the
hatred with which the southern Demo-
cratic leaders contemplate the agencies
which brought about the defeat of their at
tempt to destroy the Union. The pretense
that our army of some 5000 men is too
large is absurd.
Secretary Robeson's statement before the
naval investigating committee seems to have
fairly met the charge OF a corrupt combin-
alton between him and the Cattells. In
closing his statement he affirmed in
the most sweeping manner that. since be
bad been Secretary of the Navy, he had
never given a contract for supplies of any
kind, had never dictated n contract orally
or in writing. had never di rected any favor
itisms of any kind, had never suggested,
limited or spoken of persons, prices, or favor
itism with relation to contracts, and there
were present the men to prove it-a dozen
OF the most respectable officers of the navy
some of whom had been associated with him
during his entire administration of the de-
partment. These were the chiefs of the
bureaus and purchasing paymasters, who,
under the law, make all these contracts on
their own responsibility. lie requested
that these gentlemen might be called before
the committee, and asked whether this state
ment of his was true. And several of them
have been before the committee and endors-

The New York TDn.y has compiled in a
condensed shape the declarations of the
various Republican Conventions which have
acted on the question of resumption OF
specie payments They are as follows
New York-A sound currency Of coin OF
currency convertible into coin.
Missouri-A sound currency in coin OF
paper convertible into the same
MinneSota-llard money or its equivalent.
paper convertible into coin.
Coiorado-Currency based on coin and re-
deemahle in coin.
Calil0rna-Fayors return to metallic
currency-any and every scheme of repudia-
ton. direct or indirect. meets the hearty
condemnation Of the Republicans Of Cali
fornia.
Oreeon-The best interests Of all citizens
Of every condition and pursuit imperatiyely
demand the epeediest return 10 specie basis
OF value and currency, and we hail with
qualification the act Of a Republican Con
gress definitely providing for that end.
Nermont-Precisely the same a Oregon.
TcnneSsec-The preservation of the ma
tional faith and credit and the restoration
of an honest currency. the poor mans
friend.
Kentucky-A speedy return to the money
or the Constitution, gold and silver. and
such paper only a. can be converted into
coin at the option OF the holder Opposi-
ton 10 any postponemenr OF the return to
specie payment beyond the time now fixed
by law.
Observation-Disclosures resumption Of specie
payments at day not later than that now
fixed by law
Connecticut-RepHblican Party Is pledged
to make the greenhacks as good as gold to
the holders. We approve of the Resump-
ton act, as new expression Of this pledge
Deiaware-Government obligations shall
be honestly and fully paid in coin, or obi
cations convertible into coin at the pleasure
of the holder
Georgia-Fully approves of the measures
of the Government of the United States to
uphold the national credit and restore specie
as the basis and measure of all commercial
exchanges, and opposes initiation of the paper
currency in all its phases.
Nirginia-The honor and credit of this ma
ton must be maintained invioate, and to put
this beyond dispute specie payments should
be resumed at the earliest practicable
Our readers will notice in these declara-
tiOns, not only 4 distinct ayowal of adhesion
to the doctrine of resumption, but clear
of the grounds on which that
doctrine rests, and a distinct conception of
the methods by which it Is to be enforced |
They leave no doubt that the Republican
party is the party of resumption, and that
IN it alone the country can rely to bring
lbout this all-important measure.
