EWing's speech ON aIle Repeal
Of the Resumption Act.

The speech of Thomas Ewing on the
repeal OF the Resumption Act Is uni

ness of address and breadth OF WOW to
Garheld's speech on the ether side.
These two speeches coAtain the whole
meat of the debate, aud they are both
by relatively young men from Ohio.
Both speakers were courteous 10 each
other. To Garfeld's argument Ewing
mainly addressed himself, and Garfield
appealed for an extension OF Ewine's
time. In GarGeld's speech were allu-
sions to Ewing's father when he
was Secretary Of the Government,
aud maintained certain views on the
currency aud resumption. Ewing,
whose sister il the wife of Secretary
Sherman's brother, had no hesitation
10 arraigning Sherman rs the mainstay

edge on this question seemed as various
as Garaeld's. Particularly neat vas

. q four per cent. premium on gold
meant only a four per cent. shrinEage

himself subsequently admitted TO be

And why? Manifestly fr want Of a no.

oped U sustain them. Now, II you hand
lhls state Government over T. the same
sort OF an undeyclOpcd class, what Is "
prevent the same result? I'm sure ! can't
see.
But don't like the conclusion to which
this argument drives me. II would be,
that South Carolina, Mississippi, and
Louisiana, az at present constituted, can.
not have pure Republics. II seems 10 me
sell'evl1ent that such a Republic cannot
exist where he minority Is stronger than
the majority. The republican form Of Gov
rnmen which almighty Congress lie to
guarantee they a have, but not q square
article OF genuine Democracy. Not till
the whites have a good working majority.
The remedy at our hands, then, Is emigra.
ton and immigraiion till that consumma-
tiOn Is brought about.
But don't deceive yourSoli with the idea
that the Northern men coming here would
be Republicans In the party sense, The
chances are that half the Republicans
would become Democrats after being here
a few years; fof, at present Democracy
here stands for the same that Republican.
ism does In Ohio, viz: Wealth, culture, in.
telligence, and good government. AS
things are just now, unfortunately, Mis-.
sissippl ought to be Democratic, Tor the
same reason that Ohio and the nation at
large ought to be Republican. The solid
ity Of local interests is on the other side
here. The brains OF the National Democ-
racy are In the South, nst as the brain and
moral fiber of National Republication
were for a time in New England and Ohio.
Hence the Southern wing OF the DemOcra.
cy Will eventually govern the party by the
operation OF natural law. The opposite
condition would be unnatural. When the
Democracy rules this nation, the South
will rule II, And don't YOU forget II.

WI notice a number OF posted adver-
tisements at the Courthouse door, Of sales
to be made under deeds OF trust. The
idea has occurred TO US that this is penny
wise. One who is TO be sold out had best
have the sale advertised as extensively as
possible, 10 order TO bring bidders and run
up the price. Property posted for sale
generally goes for q song, and leaves a
heavy debt hanging over the unfortunate
party. The best way is 10 advertise in a
newspaper, and see when you give 4 trust

4 ron.tItatlonnI Convention.

SWAW&4HN4As
The State papers are very generally
Disgusting the necessity Of holding q
Convention for Mississippi. Some Of
The papers think there is very urgent
necessity for such q body 10 convene,
while some oppose the proposition.
We think some changes are needed in
our organic law, but we think these
can easily be made without calling q
Convention for that purpose. The exc
pCnse Of q Convention is the greatest
objection that can DO urged to 1t, but
this is q serious one indeed. An cleo
ton for delegates would have TO be
held, the expense of holding the Con.
vention after the election OF the dele.
gates would be very large, and then the
Constitution would have to be submit.
ted TO the people for their adoption.
Taking everything into consideration
the expense would not fall far short Of
two hundred aud ffty thousand dol.
lars. This expense, at this time, is not
to be thought OF. The people are
very sOrely pressed, and unless the
National Government changes the
financial policy in accordance with the
necessities of the times, our citizens
will have all the load they q carry,
without being burdcned with an addi-
tional quarter Of a million Of dollars 10
pay for something that Is certainly not
absolutely essential.
If the Legislature that is 10 assemble
in January is only moderately sensible,
ii can devise means 10 neutraliZ! the
bad features of our. present COnstltu-
ton, and where this cannot be done
without changes OF the Constitution,
the Legislature can suggest such changes
and let the people vote on them at the
next general election. In this way, in
the course Of q few years, we can Sc
cure the changes necessary without the
enormous expense that would have Ia
be incurred to hold a Constitutions
Convention. Onc important and valu'
able alteration was secured at the lasI
general election. We will now have
only biennial sessions Of the Legisla,
lure. This Is a great gain, Ii tho leg,
~islatOrs would now reduce their pas
as much as one.hAlf Che people coult
stand more, thought the saving in thi
direction would be all that could D.
reasonably expected. There are sc
other objections 10 holding q Stat
Convention. We have no guaranie
that the Convention would sa'isfy
majority Of the people, bul there !
danger that sOme OF the questions tia
would arise might eau . split in III
now victorious Democrats party. W
can not afford 10 run this risk ye
awhile. The change in tho Coustiiu
ton most needed, an educationa
qualification for vO'ers aud jurors
would in all probability be adopted
but the crop of timid demlgogues VIII,
would oppose 1t might secure its dc
feat, and we had best wait awhil
longer until the people see there is a
absolute necessity for 1t, rather tina
take risk Of It's defeat now, They wi
see this in a few years, and then tn
change can be quietly secured At SON
general election.

Labor Strikes in England.

A large meeting Of weavers resolved that
the true remedy for present depression OF

FREE LOVE.

Boston is establishing its title rs tn,
hub of the universe in tho matter o.
free love business. Some few days sine,
Mary Florence Hull entered her father,
room in company with Horace Johnson
and handed the old gentleman paper
which she desired him to read. II
proved to be business and conjugal
contract" and ran rs follows:
We, whose names arc hereunto an,
nexed, do, on the twenty.sixth day OF
December, in the year one Thousand
eight hundred and seventy-six in the
Christian Era, enter into business and
coniugal contract; the tirnito be known
rs Hull Il Johnson.
We regard ourselves rs, in every sense
of the word, equal partners, under all
circumstances, rs it becomes such. We
promise that we will not try any other
way than by advice or persuasion to
control the actions of each other.
Believing that neither Church nor
State have any business with our affairs,
we propose to live our own lives without
references to either, further than, if
necessary. to give security to the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts that our
children should we be blessed with
offspring, shall be, at least as well cared
for Ms majority of those born of legal
wedlock,
We further contract that when mutual
love shall no longer justify our conjugal
union, we shall part, giving the State ms
little trouble in our parting rs We have
in coming together.
The reading finished, Mary and Horace
askedany onein the company who knew
any Just cause or impcdient--or words
to that etfect--to speak out then and
there, or forever hold their peace If
the paper wasn't right, or if they were
not right, they wanted to know it. No
one Offering any objection, they stepped
to the table and signed the contract.
Mary and Horace are now keeping
house at 80 lludsan street, and Mr.. Hull
says they are to all appearance enjoy
ing as much happiness as falls to people
in this life"
Mrs Hulrs father is the daughter of
the very advanced radical who edits the
Boston Crnsibic and his hobby is the
abolition of all marriages and all divorce
laws leaving the citizen to make free
his or her domestic arrangements under
q general law of contracts; and his
preaching of this new social gospel has
borne fruit in his own household, if
nowhere else.
