OHIO CAMPAIGN.


| We give elsewhere in to-day's TRADER OK
tracts from the trenchant speech of the Hon.
Tom Ewing last week at Columbus at the
great mass meeting opening the Ohio cam
paign on the side Of the democrats The same
meeting was very ably addressed by the Hon.
Geo H. Pendleton, of whose speech we find in
the St Louis Republican the following synop-
| SIS
lie presented in bold, clear Ii ght that out
raSe0us wrong on the people, whose evils they
are destined to suffer for generations the con
version of the bulk of the national debt from
one 0Dllgation payable in grecnbacks to one
payable , IN gold at cost to the people of sew
eIai hundred million dollars and a profit to
thelr creditors of the same amount. II was
zone III 1863, the first year of Grants admins
tra'ion, ana was the first signal act of that adj.
mlnistration' For three years prior to the
liesioehtiai canvass OF 1868 there had been n
bonds 81, 100000 600 in amount-whctbcr thnyy
should be paid in lawful money that is Green.
backs, IN which all debts not specifically pledg-
ed to be paid in something else, were navahle
Or IN coin, which was not the medium of
payment of any debt unless expressly declared
so. Many leading republicans who had assist.
ed to prepare and pass the act authorizing the
issue Of these tive-twenty bonds, Hon Thad-
deus Stevens of Pennsylvania, chairman of the
house committee on ways and means and Sen.
ator, now Secretary, Sherman, at that time
chairman OF the sanate committe on finance.
among them, vehemently and Indignantly de-
nounced the assumption that they were paya-
bic in gold, and proved by the language of the
law and the recital on the bonds themselves
that they were to be paid and ought to be paid
in lawful money, that is greenbacks. Notwith-
standing this, the republican congress that
came i'll with Grant-a congress composed
very largely of holders of the very bonds that
were the subject ofdspute, passed an act pledg-
ing the government to pay them in CON- and
in coin they have been paid, principal and in
terest ever since.
| What was the cost of this most iniqultous
actg Mr.. Pendleton estimates it at SS00,000,-
600. The tive-twenty bonds, as we have stated,
amounted to 81, 700 100000. AT the time the act
of 1869 was passed, gold was at premium Of
about 80 per cent; it would have taken only
81, 105 100000 in gold, therefore, to pay this
greenback debt. But under that act it will
take dollar for dollar in gold, or 81 700,090,000
to pay 1.-THE loss to the people and the gain
to the holders Of the debt being Sj00,000,000
This is on the principal alone. The difference
on the semi-annual interest payments calculat-
ed for Il series of years will be several millions
more; so that Mr. Pendletons estimate of
$SO0OO0,0OO, is nottar out ofthe way. The act
OF 1863 therefore, was wanton and unwar-
ranable imposition on the people OF this large
amount of Indebtedness which they have borne
ever since, and will bear for years to come
The national debt is now S2,059,0O00O0; had
the act of 1869 never been passed, the debt this
day would be only 81 ,259 100000.

A COSTLY DISASTER.

| Two spans OF 80 feet each, on the Council
Bluffs side Of the great Omaha iron bridge
were blown down and almost totally destroyed
| by tornado on Saturday morning Of last
week. The storm was from the north, and
struck the immense structure with such force
as to wrench 800 feet Of it from its connections
and toppie it into the river, twisting the large
iwrought-iron strngcrs and columns into an
endless variety Of shapes. About one.half Of
the debris sank out Of sight under the water
and the remainder lay on and at the foot
of the high embankmcnt on the eastern ap
prOach. The loss is estimated at a quarter of
Il million The dismantlcd piers appear to be
uniniured, as are also the remaining seven
spans Of the bridge Of course, all communi,

DEATH OF BRIGHAM YOUNG.

Brigham Young, prophet-in.chcf and Prcsi-
dent of the Mormon church, died at his home
in Salt Lake City, Of cholera morbus, on Wed.
nesday of this week. He had been sick but a
few days. He had attained the are of 10 years,
having been born June 1st, 1901, at WHITING
ham, Vermont He had made provision in
his will for the succession to the presidency, or
high priesthood, of his son, John W Young.
but il is known that numerous warning fac
tons exist among the faithful, and the proba-
bilitics are that their divisions may lead to a
war of determination between them, or that
they will divide up into dozen or more
hostile sections. The church as a united po-
litical and religious power may with ;olerablc
safety be regarded rs at an end.

HEALTHY EXERCISE.

The youthful editor of the Morris Hef""'
who, by very curious political concatena'ioh
last year was elected to Congress from TINS
district, is evidently not possessed OF the sell
confidence of John 4. Logan, who undertook
to master the intri cacies of the financial PROB
lem in two weeks, but shows evidence in his
paper of mighty intellectual grapplings with
the problem for the last six months or more,
with abundant signs that the tussel is to be
continued. Indications Of his progress are
given in the shape of massive weekly (qH.
weaklv?) editorials in the Morris Herdtd,
which are doubtless vastly more editying to
the editor than his readers However, as IA
sort of hcbdomadel indicator OF his rate OF
progress, they are not without certain curl
Gus interest. Thus 4 few months ago he had
50 far delved into the problem as to evolve the
conviction that there is no salvation Tor the
country but in a speedy return to specie pay
ment Now he has progressed 50 far as to set
tie down on Il triune basis for the solution OF
our whole financial middle, as follows l.,
reconciliation of silver, or the restoration of
the dollar of the daddies; ., repeal Of the re-
sumption act; and g. no further destruction Of
grecnbacks,
II is to be hoped the General" will stick to
his studies. He is apparently making some
progress in the right direction.

One Of the blacklist and most riiscally bank
explosions that ever occurrediin this country is
that of the State Savings Bank, announced in
the Chicago papers Of Tuesday. The deposits
amounted to about S3,000,0O0, and il is doubt
ful whether the concern will ever pay 80 cts.
on the dollar. For the last few years the bank
has been mainly owned and controlled by ID.
u Spencer, known to many of our people as
formerly banker in Morris. He seems TO be
a thorough scoundrel. lie not only spent the
money Of the depositors in reckless specula-
tions. but as soon as he found an explosion
could be put off no longer, he gathered up
most Of the Immediately available means Of
the bank and fled, it is believed, TO Europe,
and the Cashier, Mr. Guild, is thought To
bear him company.

Seneca Dottings.

SENECA, Aug. 30, 1871.
The game Of Base Ball between the White
Stockings Of Morris and the Seneca Club re
suited in favor OF the Morris club u to 10.
The game was quite interesting except at the
the fourth inning, when some of the Seneca
boys found they were going TO get beaten and
tried to quarrel with the umpire and break up
the game. The Morris boys felt so jubilant
over their victory that they staid around town
until late in the evening visiting all of the
principle wet groceries in town. When they
left, about eleven O'Clock, they were feeling
quite happy and some of them were little
noiscy although that is nothing new for The
Morris boys when visiting Seneca.
The charity Ball at Underhill's Hall on the
cath, was quite a success. There were seventy
couple IN attendance.

The Changers Picnic.
A Big Tournout and Good Time.
Speeches, Essays, Music, &C., &c, SC.

If any body imagnes that the grange is los
ing into decay, such person can be readily I'M
deceived or least so far as the grange in this
county is concerned, by attending such gath.
ering as that at Debolts springs on Thursday
1t was not so much by the imposing attendance,
though that was large enough, as by the tone
and earnestness that pervaded the company
and animated the leading spirits, that the en-.
ergetic vitality Of the organization in this
county is to be estimated There was evidence
of regular and earnest work in the local gran
gcs of frequent meetings and profitable dis
cussions; and otherwise of sustained interest
by the fact that most Of the oranges have their
well trained chors, speakers and essayists, al,
ways ready at the meetings to make them
pleasant, interesting and profitable. Above all,
no more ridiculous mistake can be made than
to imagine that these grangers are compare.
lively crude, uneducated, unthinking set of
unsophis,i Gated brcoic clodhoppers Aside
from Il few professionals in every city, the
average intelligence Of these grangers is above
that Of Il like city gathcring-especially among
the women. Indeed leading clement Of the
strength and vitality of the grange, in our
judgment, lies in the fact that Il large part of
its active work is in the hands of, and great
reliance is placed upon, the aid of women, Of
whom there were many at the springs on Tues.
day who in point of intelligence, refinement
and all the better and more attractive qualities
of womanhood are certainly the equals of any
of the best city female society.
So much by way Of preface.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS.

To-day. according to the new law, expire
the months of the present year during which
the killing of prairie chickens is prohibited
and from to-day forth until Jan, 1st all per
sons are permitted to shoot, ensnarc, entrap or
otherwise catch and kill all the grouse they
can. The law gives the poor birds IA respite of
but two weeks more in year than they en-
loved in former years, and will probably have
no appreciate effect on the aggregate slaugh-
ter Not because the law is more effective, or
any less disrcgarded than formerly, but be.
cause, so far as preserving the birds at all is
concerned, no law, however severe, can have
any effect one way or the other The prairie
chicken is doomed, no matter what laws may
be passed for his protection. 1t is not the trap
or the sportsman gun that is discriminating the
bird, but the onward tread ofcivilization. The
wolf, the hawk, the mink and other beasts OF
prey, before the white man and his shot gun
and pointer arrived in Illinois, killed more
prairie chickens than were ever Killed alter
wards; and when the white man first turned
his attention to these beasts and with his rifle
and pack of grcyhounds began TO drive them
out the prairie chicken actually began TO null
tiply and increase. But then came the giant
civilization with his lumber, his buildings,
his fences, his plows harrows, rcapers, now
crs, threshcrs, and cattle and pigs, and these
no animal strictly tere Hatura, like the prai-
rie chicken, can abide. If the spring pillow
fails 10 disturb its nest, the hog, or wolf, or
equally thieyish dog finds it; or the grazing
cattle sheep, or moving machine break it
up. Then the bird builds its nest in the tall
grass, in the sloughs and low places, and here
the first heavy rain browns it out. And so,
harrassed and disturbed--drivcn from pillar to
post, the birds take Greeeys advice and go
west, to meet the same enemy there until driv-
en- to the mountains with their old prairie
the red man, their subsistence fails
and they die out year by year until at last the
race is extinct. Such is destiny.
