Sad Case.

One of those cases calculated to
create a spirit of sadness in the minds
Of most persons. came to our knowl-
edge to-day. About a week ago a
young man by the name of holland
got off train in this city seemingly
very ill, and asked to be taken to a
hospital if there was such an institu
ton in the city. He was informed
there was none here, and he begged
the police officers to take him some
where, as he was very sick and out of
money. A policeman knows no
refuge but the Jail and there they
took him and turned him over to the
care Of Mr.. Spilman. The young
man soon became delirious and never
recovered his mind, but the Sheriff in
examining his effects found some
papers which lead to his identity, and
he sent telegram TO the young mans
father at Hazelgreen, Wisconsin, in
response to which the old gentleman
made his appearance in this city this
morning, but not until after the young
mans death. The father not expect
ing such a sad result came away with
but little money, and being poor
miner, the Odd Fellows of this city,
with their characteristic generosity,
provided neat coffin, paid all neces-
sary expense and for the Transports
ton of the body to Hazelgreen, Wis.
1t is proper for us to state that the
young man received every attention
that was possible at the hands OF
Sheriff Spilman and his excellent
family, and while his relations may
regret his untimely death, it will be
some consolation to know that he was
kindly cared for when he needed
friends the worst.

Last night, about IL O'Clock, the
heaviest rain fell of the season, &C
companied by the most terrific thun-
der and lightning.
Senators 0. p. Morton, of Indiana,

C. B. & O., that Fairfield was visited
last night by a-storm that was even
worse than that which visited this
city. The rain fell in torrents, and
the whole country was flooded.
L1GHTNING.-Last night during the
thunder storm, the house Of George

placed there to catch water, knocking
several slaves out, but not removing
the hoops. Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson
were stunned, and the house was so
full of sulphur that they could not
stay in it for some time.
A large elm tree, standing north of
DR.. Johnston's, in the hollow, was
struck and torn to finders, cutting il

rh. cinOirnati SILVER Resolutiop.

The Cincinnati Merchants exchange has
taken the action on the silver question
that was predicted of it. At its meeting
last Thursday it adopted the following
emphatic resolution after foil discussion
"ReS0lUed, That the national board of
trade, in view of the near approach of the
time appointed for the resumption Of
specie payments, and also in view Of the
character and effect of the coinage act of
Feb'y 10, 1873, respectfully recommends
to the Congress of the United States n
consideration of the propriety of re-estab-
fishing the silver dollar, of the weight aud
| fneness existing at the time of the passage
Of said act as a unit of money value.
There is reason for believing that this
expresses the views, not only of the largest
commercial body in Ohio, but of large
majority of the people of Ohio-and as
such a popular expression, it deserves to
attract the attention of Mr.. Hayes and his
Ohio secretary of the treasury. These
two are in favor of limiting the silver
dollars to the functions of greenbacks-
that is, to the payment OF all debts except
the public debt and the interest thereon
and OF customs; but the Cincinnati resolu-
ton goes far beyond this and proposes

they applaud MIR. Hayes. but they are not
enamored of Repubhcanism; they continue
to be Democrats just as though there never
had been such man as Mr.. Hayes OF gra-
titude was not human virtue.
But let us ask: What is there that Mr.
Hayes has done to earn southern gratitude
He has done well, it is true, and it is entitl-
ed to recognition. But has he not himself
declared that he only did what he could
not avoid doing? Has not Senator
Morton publicly stated that he merely "ac-
cepted the inevitable"2 Have not his
Republican supporters alphabetically plea
ded that bis southern policy was the only
one he could afford to adopt or attempt to
execute? Are Democrats to desert their
party because heRdid rightin a case where
he did not dare to do wrong? Are the PEG
pie of the sonth to 90 over to his party 10 a
body because he gave them what his party
never had right to withhold from them
the power of elf-goyernment?
Mr.. Hayes Southern policy is a repeti-
ton of the Schurz and Brown Liberal ex-
pertinent in Missouri in 1870 That exper-
iment removed disabilities from the DEM
ocrats, and at the next election the Demo
Gratis carried the state and have controlled
ever since. There was great deal said
about Democratic ingratitude in that case,
too, but the fact came to BE- recognized at
last that there is no room for gratitude be-
tween political parties where one aDandons
a policy of injustice through sheer inability
to proloDg it. And after ali, what did Mr..
| Hayes do in the South but the very thing
that Democrats had for eight years before
insisted should be done? He did not invent
the Southern policy of nonintervention; he
borrowed it from the Democratic platform.
1t is hardly fair, then, to ask Democrats
to display an extraordinary gratitude to
him for adopting policy which they sup
piled to him, and In the exuberance. OF
their affection to desert their own party,
in which that policy had its origin.
There is margin for thankfulness il
the business. Mr.. Hayes has done his du.
ty because he has done what Democratic
president would have done, and he de.
serves well of the country for it, but
there is less reason for Democrats becom'
ing Republicans than for Republicans be-
coming Democrats on this account, for the
Republican policy of interference in the
South had proved disastrous, and the
Democratic policy of non-intervention ii
proving beneficial The result, therefore
is a signal vindication Of the wisdom o.
Democratic principles, and instead of break
ing up the Democratic party it ought tt
command for it q wider and higher admira
