The Newspaper.

Philip Gilbert Hamilton, in his
admirable papers on intellectual
Life, thus talks of "the paper :
Newspapers are to the civilized world
what the daily house talk is to the
member of the family-they keep
our daily interest in each other, they
save us from the evils of isolation.
To live as a member of the great
white-race that has filed Europe and
America, and colonized or conquered
whatever territory it has pleased to
occupy, to share from day to day its
thoughts, its cares, its inspiration, it
is necessary that every man, should
read his paper. Why are the French
peasants so bewildered at sea? It is
because they never read a newspa-
per. And why are the people of the
United States, though scattered over
territory IA times the area of France,
so much more capable of concerted
action, so much more alive and mod
ern, so much interested IN discover
les of all kinds and capable of select
ing and utilizing the best of them E?
It is because the newspaper pene-
trates everywhere, and the lonely
dweller on the prairie is not Until
lectually isolated from the great cur
rents of public life which flow thro'
the telegraph and the press.

Colonel Broadhead, of Missouri,
whose Democracy is quoted above
par, says of the Presidents course
''His Southern policy meets my most
cordial approval. It was really the
policy contended for by the Demo
Gratis in the last canvass, and he has
done more to carry it out satisfact-
orily than Mr.. Tilden might have
been able to do had he been deolar-
ed President. Mr. Tilden would
have met with strong opposition
from the ultra leaders of the Repub-
lican party. The Democrats, Of
course, aequiesce, and there is peace
all around, and prosperity will assur-
edly follow, and for this Mr.. Hayes
deserves the gratitude of the whole
country"

The New Paper.

| a ring OF mOnle0 men-SOre-
heads and disappointed politicians
not have patience to 'bide their
time, having organized, and even
! legalized ring for the purpose of
| of running the Republican party of
Adams county. If these gentlemen
think that money is ahead of princi-
pies, honor and integrity, and that
they can scare Adams county Re
publicans INTO such a contemplate
notion, we miss our guess of the in
telligence Of the people. One of the
Directors Of the new bantling has
not voted the Republican ticket for
several years, and during the Gree
ley campaign was one of the promi-
neRt DemOcsatic stumpers Of Adams
county. Another of The Directors,
in the face of the Republican County
Convention, last fall, bolted the NOM
ination, and refused to endorse Mr..
Kleinknecht, the regular nominee for
Commissioner, and one of the best
Republicans in the county. Such
a heterogeneous coDglomeration to
organize themselves into a ring for
the purpose of ousting a lifelong
citizen out Of position, that has
cost him long series of years to es--
tablish, is truly commendable.-.

Gen. J. NJ. Comfy, who has finally
accepted the mission to the Sand
wich Islands, is an old army COM
rade and intimate friend of the Pres
ident. He went out as Major of the
twenty-third Ohio, of which Presi-
dent Hayes was Colonel, served IN
der him in the Valley, rose to the
command Of the regiment and to a
Brigadiers brevet, and at the close
of the war bought the Ohio State
Journal, and settled down 10 editor
ship at the State Capital. Comfy
was the son-in-law of DR.. Smith, the
Surgeon General of the State, and
one of the noted physicians at the
Capital. His house was In those
days a literary and social center in
Columbus. One of the poems in
Howell's first volume, "On a Picture
in the Doctors Study" affords q
pleasant glimpse of the hospitable
home which gave early welcome to a
good many young men who have
since made their mark New York
Tribune.

It seems to be the aim of the Re
publican leaders to get rid of the
greenback, non-interest bearing cur
rency, and substitute for it an inter
est bearing currency, the currency
furnished by the National Banks.
This policy is too plain to admit OF
of denial. II Brown Co. News.
The aim of the Republican party,
as we understand it, is to redeem the
promises of the Government by pay
ing the greenbacks in lawful money,
that is, gold and silver coin. Every
greenback is an irredeemable "prom-
ise to pay" so many dollars, which
the Government is unable to pay,
and it is the Republican policy to &C
cumulate gold and silver enough by
the 1st Of January, 1879, to pay
these notes on presentation.
The Supreme Court has decided
that the issue of greenbacks was only
justifable as a war measure-tbat
they were really unconstitutional,
but the Government had to resort
to them to carry on the war, and
hence they were necessary. The
war being over, the necessity which
created them no longer exists, and
the great problem has been how to
redeem them. By careful manage
ment, the Republican administration
has brought up the value of the
greenbacks to within about 5 per
cent. of specie, and the prospect now
is, that by the 1st of January, 1879,
the date fixed for resumption. they
will be worth their face in gold or
silver coin. They will then be re-
deemed when presented, and not
again issued, their place being sup
piled by specie. Thus the amount
of money in circulation will not be
reduced by the redemption and re-
tirement of greenbacks-it Will on
ly be substituting coin for the notes
of the Government, which will then
be taken up and destroyed, just as
an individual pays his individual
notes and cancels or destroys them.
We do not understand what
Brother Leeds is driving at, when he
calls National Bank notes an Gin
terest,bearing currency" Will he
please explain? ?
The National Bank notes are am
ply secured by the deposit of Gov
ernment bonds, and form as sound
and safe currency as we have ever
had in this country. Everybody
knows that National Bank note of
any State is good from one end Of the
Union to the other and there is no
doubt about its being constitution
al"-which greenbacks are not.
As regards substituting National
Bank notes for greenbacks after re-
sumption, we see no harm likely to
result from that, as the National
Banks will be compelled to redeem
their notes in greenbacks or coin,
when presented, and greenbacks
will then be as good as coin.

Secretary Schurz has notified all
the heads of the bureaus of the In
terror Department that during his
administration of its affairs there viii
be no removal of clerks or other en-
ployees except "fOr cause andno pro
motions except for merit. It will
therefore be useless for persons to
file papers soliciting clerical appoint
ments or promotion on merely per
sonal or political grounds, and in ad-
dition to this, it can be stated that
there are at present no vacancies of
any kind to be filled.

The Murphy movement is making
good headway in Cincinnati, in spite
of the tremendous power of the beer
and whisky interest. Over 10000
have already signed the pledge and
the meetings are growing in inter

that the Murphy movement in Ohio
has already hurt the wholesale liquor
trade of Cincinnati seriously.

Railroad competitIon.

Wilmington is waking up at last
to the necessity of railroad competi
ton, to rid her business interests Of
the heavy burdens now imposed up
on them BY railroad monopoly. A
short time ago we mentioned the
fact that the NJ. Y. R. R. charges
S24 a carload for shipping corn
from that point to Cincinnati, while
at Washington, % miles further east,
on the same road, only S12 is
charged The plan now on foot, to
obtain relief from this oppressive ex-
action, is to build branch of 10 OF
II miles from Wilmington to the
Marietta & Cincinnati R. R., and if
the people of Wilmington don't take
hold of it and put it through, they
deserve TO suffer still more from the
soulless monopoly.

last novel device to keep men sober.
Here it is:
Every man who drinks is required
to take out a license costing five
dollars a year. Unless armed with
this document he cannot get his
bitters at any hotel or saloon, for it
is a penal offence for the -prOprie ors
of these establishments to sell to
any person without a license. Every
six months the names of the persons
who take out these licenses are to
be published in the local papers, so
that the public may know who arc
not authorized to drink.
