THERE is much suffering among the
miners at Braldwood. A few days ago a
Mrs. Thomas Mcintyre and her child,
only eighteen months old. were found In
q starving condition by some OF their
neighbors. and although everything that
could be was done for them, their case
is considered doubtful. This is one of
the results Of the late strike among the
miners at the Braidwood coal mine.

l, Shelby N. Cullom, governor Of the
state Of Illinois, do appoint Thursday,
the 10Th day Of November, as day oil
Thanksgiving. This purely national ies'
tiyal. which originated with the Pilgrim
Fathers. is entitled to the respect and OBJ
servance OF all good citizens, as = recognl-
ton Of the experimenting providence OF
Almighty God, and an expression OF our
thanktulness to HIM for His bountiful
goodness to US as a people. a
Not in a spirit Of boasting, nor with
out deep sense Of sympathy for the ma
tons so severely afflicted, 1t may increase
our gratitude to remember the condi-
ton Of India, stricken with famine, OF
Russia and Turkey, devastated by war,
and Of France, torn with fierce internal
dissentionA. From these evils we have
been delivered; while our civil and reli'
gious privileges, the general good health
OF the people, our magnificent crops,
and the Consequent improved condition
of all business interests, afford us album
dant occasion for positive rejoicing.
/, therefore, call upon the citizens OF IL
linois to assemble in their places Of reli
gious worship, and around their tables
and 6resides, to make this holiday,
day Of rest and Of festivity, not forgetting
Is proper religious observance, but above
al, q day for the re-assembling OF scat
tered kindred, in order to the closet knit
ting Of those domestic ties which are the
pledge and ground Of national union and
prosperity.
In testimony whereof, haye hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF the
state to be affixed.

WHAT THE TURKS HAVE LOST.
Courier.Jo

Courier. Jolrnal.
The Turks have lost by battle and dis
ease, thus far, during the war fully ZOO
900 men. The recruiting ground OF the
Porte is in Asia Minor and Syria, but the
soldiers from those regions are undisci>
plined and poor material to be placed at
once in front OF battle. The Government
is sorely pressed for money, and no army
officers or Government employees have
been paid for eighteen months.
The soldiers use counterfeit money,
manufactured in Germany and poured
like deluge into Turkey. A correspOn-
dent of the Philadelphia Press at Con-
stantinople gives the following good ad-
vice 10 persons who mediate joining the
Sultan's service: ''Perssns who are dis
posed to enter the Turkish service at the
present time had better take into consid-
Grafton the iinancia embsrrassments OF
the Porte before they impose or
themselves the expense OF
voyage hither. For want 0
such precaution, the foreign surgeons IL
the army are in the most deplorable con-
dition. The Austrian and Hungarian
surgeons are not paid, no care Is taken Of
| them. and tiny arc orICu IaiHisntu ioi
want Of food. They threaten to resign
in body. OF Mussulman surgeons the
number is so small that it is OF no &C
count. The army surgeons are almost
exclusively foreigners, principally Aus
TRANS, Germans, and Jews, with a len
Americans.

Piles money has been stolen, in one way
and another, from the national treasury

official thief has been hanged, though q
large number haye been rewarded by
promotion to higher offices, where the
opportunities for stealing were better

the great depreciation since many OF the
compaEy's investments were made. The

interesting and creditable. A total ad-

HOW IT WAS DONE.
Clnclnnltl CommercIal.

The decentralization OF silver was o
deed OF secrecy and darkness. Ii was
divided into two parts, and concealed IN
two huge bills, neither of them express
ing the Intention Of the sharpers who
were at work. Years passed before the
proportions of the transaction were per-
ce!yed, and even now they are impersct>
ly known. We do not teel ourselves uns
der moral obligation 10 fall down and
worship this self evident fraud. There Is
not living member OF congress that was
guilty of this legislation-wlth perhaps a
single exception VIII not say that
he Is not aware that he ever voted Tor
the decentralization Of silver. There i
not an able editor in the eastern cities now
pleading for the perpetuatlon of the
single standard, who can prove by his
files that he eyer heard of the demoneti-
cation of silver until long after 1t hap
pened. Can great nation be thus trick
ed, in utter ignorance, into acts of soye-
reignty Justly described as tremendous,
and fettered by them forever:
Could such a thing be possible,
even in q country reasonably
Republican or decently Democratic: The
talk Of actual damage 10 the bondhoIdeI
is very thin. The contracts with the
bondholders are fully and exactly inter,
preted in the laws of March IS, 1859, and
July II. 1870, and We propose to adhere
to the letter of the law. Ii is a peiilOus
thing for all holders of securities il the
change in the contract, made by the
change in coinage and standard, is iusti-
fed. 1t is not we'll to establish prece>
dent that sanctions peddIing with con-
tracts under any soN OF pretext.

The following tribute OF esteem to the
departed gentleman WAS adopted by his
brother Masons and handed to US tor
publication:
"The affairs of Masonry are clothed in
mourning for the death OF one whom we
dearly loved. God has called our moro
than friend, our brother Arthur Phinney
across the river; while We bow to the
decree, we sincerely mourn. Known 70
US for many years, not only in business,
relations aud in the intimacy of the So
cial circle; but as brother of light, We
feel that his death has lett void that
Gun never be filled. Masonry has lost
one OF its princes--one who endeapored
to exempihy the true principles that
should govern. He was just, right and
true, giving to everyone his due, and
more, rather than fail in the performance
Of an obligation. He was firm in his
convictions and in the support of the
right, and true to all the dict ates of hu-
manity. tie was eminenlly hospitable
and generous; his latch string was al,
ways outside; ear and purse were ever
open to bear and relieve the destitute"
Can We forget himS No!
His earthly form may 20,
His kindly smile bc hidden in the sod;
But when our gasels ring,
Fond memories hey will bring
or our dear forgotten brother gone "
rest with God
We gricye with the beIeaved relatives
and offer them our deepest sympathies
in their affection. Let the lodge room
be draped in mourning and each brothrr
wear the usual emblem in token OF our
sorrow for him who has passed away.

The UsurY Low.

In our issue of the 10th inst. we
briefly stated our iroasons for favoring Z
tho reSeDaotmont of tho old usury law
Of this State, and dsstotod that tho OPP
position to tho measure would como
from tho low county, backed up by
tho capital Of Charleston. We find
that we are not alone in this opinion,
Tho Keowee Courier and Summit
Courier havo thus far spokenI lthoirA
opinions, and wo trust that all the
other Journals win do likewiso and
show TO tho Legislature tho senti-
monts of tho people on this al impor~
tant measure. Thoro is no measure
likely to como before the Legislature,
at its ,noXt session, of such interest to
tho material prosperity Oft tho State as
this, and We trust the people, through
tho press, will give tho Legislature TO
understand fully their desires upCr it.
Wo will. publish what tho Keowoo
Courier has to say about it 10 our next
issue. Horo is what the Summit
Courier says:
Hon. D. r. Bradley, oditor of the
Piczcns SENTINEL, and member of tho
House Of Representatives., who stronu,
ously opposed tho postponement OF
tho bill to reenact the usury law in
tho last sitting of the Gonoral Assom-
bly,, has taken up the subject in his
papor, and ably and foarlessly sets
forth tho evils of the presout outrage
upon tho people, and tho diificulliea
attending its removal. Last weol1, it
will bo remembered, we gave expros~
sion TO our viows; and also at the titno
of tho postponomont of tho bill wo
announced our disapproval. The quos-
tion is of ouch vital importance to tho
prosperity of tho State that it seoms
to us impossible to bo too earnest in
it's consideration, and wo arc always
glad when we SEQ the press outspokon,
as tho SENTINEL is, for "tcaring loose
the grip of tho capitalist from the
throats of tho planters of South Caro-,
lima" Mr.. Bradley, and all othor
members of tho Goneral Assembly
who are determined to withstand the
Charleston and low country opposi>
ton, will find us doing ali we can 10
aid thom in their work. Certainly
tho State will not yield to Charleston.
Assurodly the up country will not DO
bamboozled by Charleston capitalists.
If wo arc TO DO controlled by Cballou-
ton. tho sooner wo turn ovor every
thing to thom tho better, but if we Iu~
tend to legislato for tho State and not
Tor Charleston only, thon, again, tho
sooner the better. A. any rate, givo
us change, and relief from tho intlu~
once of selfish capitalists.

.f73 .U kdounty Courts.

,We, soc it tvstated, by o correspon-
don't, of tho News and Courier, writing
from GrccnviIlo, that tho Judiciary
Committee, in session ut that place, TO
whom, amongst othor things. was ro-
ferrcd the present Trial Justice sys-
tom of this State for investigation,
contemplate recommending tho aboli-
ton oil theno Offices, end thofestabhsh-
mont in thoir stead OF County Courts.
The salary of the Judges Of tho Coun-
ty Courts are to DO 81 500 or $4,000
por annum, and tho courts arc to DO
made selfsustaining, and hold at differ
ont points in tho countios How they
arc to be made solfsustaining tho CORES
pondent does not state; but wo presume
it is to DO dono through tho costs and
fnos imposed by tho court. If this is
tho plan, it will certainly provo misor'
able failure, for nino-tenths OF tho Dol"
iitigants would be unable to pas costs
or fines, and thoir collection could not
bo enforced against tho homestead OK
omption. There arc othor worry 30"
rious objections in our mind, to the
establishment of thcso courts, but as
it is net positively settled that the
committee will recommend their es~
GAblishment, and as as wo do not
know tho plan upon which they are
to be worked, if established, wo will
not projudgo them, though wo arc not
favorably impressed with tho idoa of
county courts.
