A FLf0Lt of BeetLes.


about eight o'clock in the. evening,
lately, Supervisor Egan, of Franklin,
had his attention attracted by roaring
noise like the coming of heavy railway
train. There being no railway near
Franklin, he fancied that it must be
something in the nature of a tornado, so
great was the noise. He called his son,
who was equally puzzled. While they
were speculating on its probable cause
the sky was suddenly darkened by vast
swarm of flying insects. Far as the eye
could reach the air was full of them.
The swarm was moving in northwest
erly direction, the main portion at great
height, but stragglers flying within reach,
and occasionally dropping to the earth.
The width of the swarm could not be es-
timated, it being twilight. No place
could be seen above where they were not
Mr.. Egan picked up several of the fa-
tigued stragglers of this great army.
They are beetles little larger than the
potato beetle. Their color is dark brown,
with bright spots on the ends of their
wings. He says that they are not the
Colorado beetle, having stronger re-
semblance to what is commonly known
as the June bug. The swarm was about
twenty minutes in passing over the vii
lage of Franklin, and must have con-
tanned untold millions of insects. Mr..
Egan is of the opinion that unless they
changed their course they must have
struck the lake shore somewhere in the
neighborhood of Bay View.

A FEW weeks since we alluded to
John Irish, the Democratic candidate
for Governor as of habitually intemper
ate habits. We judged him from our
own knowledge of his habits some time
since. We are informed, however, and
it gives us nothing but qualification to
learn of it-that Mr.. Irish has reformed
in this regard, and now refrains entirely
from the use of Intoxicating fluids We
certainly have no wish to misrepresent
the candidate of the Democracy, nor is
there need of it, to show how unfit he is
for the position, or the hard strait of
the Convention that nominated him.
There are abundant reasons to affirm
that Mr.. Irish would not have been the
candidate of the Democracy, if in the
estimation of the Convention there had
been the remotest possibility of his
election.

THE CURRENCY.
Extracts from the Speech Of Hon. Jas.
F. Wilson, at Ottumwa.

Let us examine some of the peculiar
notions of these Greenback] people,
They declare that the great need of the
country is more money. How is this to
be reached? First, they propose to de-
stroy the National Banking system
Passing for moment the fact that this
proposition involves contraction of the
currency of over $500, 600, 900, let us first
see what else must come of it. United
States bonds are exempt from taxation
This is crying complaint with the
Greenbackers and Democrats Of Iowa.
Well, on the first of November last, the
Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States held of these bonds, $685., 727 800
by the National Banks These bonds
represent to their full extent the capital
Of the banks The stockholders of these
banks hold certificates of stock in their
several institutions aggregating like
amount. Ii the bonds were not thus
used by the banks they would be in the
private possession of the stockholders,
and the certificates of stock would not
be in existence. The use of the bonds
for the purpose indicated, is the Undue
ing cause for issuing the stock. The
stock is taxable the same as other per-
sonal property, such as moneys and
credits. The effect of this, is to indi-
rectly subject $685., 727 800 of United
States bonds to taxation, for all State,
county and municipal purposes. And
the effect of the abolition of the Nation
al banking system would, therefore, be
to destroy the stock throu gh which this
indirect tax falls upon the bonds men
toned and remove from the tax lists OF
the country $685., ~, 800 of the proper
ty taxable under the existing order of
things. But this is not all. The annual
amount of tax now paid to the General
Government by the banks, estimated by
the returns of 1876, is 81 ,229, 221 SO, and
the amount paid on account OF levies by
States, counties and municipalities is
about $lO,O58, 1872, or total of $17,257, !
653.
The system is source of great revenue
to the General Government, and has
been since it's foundation. The tax on
circulation alone vastly exceeds the cost
OF the system to the Government From
the date of the establishment Of the
system down to July l, 1876, the tax paid
on circulation was. 500, 1923, 7O3 18
The whole expense of the
currency bureau for the
same period was. ,..... 1000, 22359
Leaving clear profit from
this source alone Of. ;. 1923, 1868, 479.5

The State Register says of recent
speech of Judge Cole on the finance
question, that it was the clearest, ablest
and most convincing argument for the
Republican theory on this topic yet
made in Polk county" Considering that
the Register has heretofore been pro-
nounced advocate of the heresies held
by the Greenback party, it would have
been as well if it had been little more
explicit in explaining what is the "Re-
publican theory" regarding the finances.
1t is plain, either that the Register has
crawfshed on the currency question, or
that Judge Cole made Greenback
speech.
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1877-09-21
What They Mean.

Gold is down to per cent. premium, which
suggests to some people the notion that there
fore there is no need of any more greenbacks
But if all the greenbacks and national bank
notes, too, were retired from circulation, there
could be no premium whatever on gold. Would
that be good reason for getting rid of all the
paper currency, or what do the people mean
who pretend to be opposed to greenbacks?
They won't say that they mean that they arein
favor of getting rid of all paper currency.
Why don't they say or tell just what they do
mean, If they know?-Telegrdph.
What they mean is just this, and
we wish the Telegraph, and all others Of
it's way Of crazy thinking on this sub
ject, would heed what is meant. Gold
being down to three per cent. has it's
significance. 1t signignifes a restora-
ton of public confidence in the paper
currency our country is blessed with.
There are the greenbacks, $3.50, 600 900
in round numbers, which the Govern
ment has promised to redeem in coin;
there are the bank notes which the
banks have promised to redeem in law
full money. Both alike stand at only 3
per cent. below gold, and the some peo-
pie" would have this depreciation d.
minished wiped out gether-rather
than doubled and trebled and doubled
again. Some people" entertain the
logical notion that to initiate the green
back currency, as the Telegraph advises,
would at once send gold up, or rather
greenbacks down, to the sad and shame
full figure from which we have escaped
after long years of costly experience.
Now the Government is obliged to re-
deem in coin only 1857 100000, which
many years of experience has proved to
be no easy task. Even if the greenback
notes were to be inflated only by the
amount Of the bank notes, and put out
in their place, the Governments respon-
sibility of redemption in coin would be
increased by so much, whereas this re-
sponsibility is now divided between the
Government and the banks. Hence,
they mean" that the luhacy of infa-
ton shall not make the 3 per cent. pre-
MUM on gold 30 per cent; that the pa
per currency which has deprecated to
within 3 per cent. of gold shall not be
crushed back into the mire of 10, 20, 30
and 80 per cent. depreciation again, and
thus cheat the holdrs out of that amount.
No one is advocating the retirement
of our currency-that is the bugbear
wherewith the greenback lunatics false
ly brighten timid people; what is asked
is that the substantial equivalence hap
PLY brought about between coin and
currency shall not be destroyed by
George Law experimentation, by crazy
attempts to lesson evils by increasing
their causes-Dubuque Times.

AN Eastern paper, in the following
extract, very correctly appreciates the
situation of the Greenback party: 'The
Greenbacker has an arduous time Of it
keeping his movement under way in the
face of increasing prosperity. He makes
a valient effort, however, and has sue
ceeded in having conventions called in
several new States this year. Of course,
he never elects anybody, but he fur
nishes an opportunity for few disabled
politicians in every State to get their
names in the papers, and in doing this
he contributes no small amount to the
sum of human happiness"

THE war in Turkey during the past
two or three weeks has been marked by
scenes of carnage almost unparalleled in
the history of nations. The tide of sue
cess seems to be still turning toward the
Turks. The Russians marched large
army against the stronghold of Plevna,
occupied by Osman Pacha with $4,000
Turks, and after several determined as
saults upon the Turkish Notifications,
attended by appalling loss of life, sue
ceeded in capturing two or three outly-
ing redoubts, from which vantage ground
it was anticipated they might more east
ly attack the main works. But scarcely
had they got possession Of these works
than they were retaken by the Turks,
who assaulted the Russians with great
fury, and drove them from the redoubt
with fearful slaughter. The Russian
commander, Skobeleff, lost 1000 men in
taking the redoubt, and 5000 more in
the unsuccessful attempt to hold it..
The Grivica redoubt is yet in possession
of the Russians, but is commanded by
the Turkish batteries, and is represent
ed as filled with dead and wounded, who
cannot be removed. The attack on Plev-
ma is failure, and cannot be resumed
this season. Meanwhile the Turks have
captured Fort St Nicholas, commanding
Schipka pass through the Balkans, and
the armies of SULLIVAN Pasha and Me-
hemetAli have effected junction, threat
ening the armies of the Gar with new
disasters. The losses of the Russians
in the Plevna campaign already foot up
over $1,000.

HENRY NJ. STANLEY, the African ex-
plorer, formerly of the New York Her.
aid staff, after many months of com
plete isolation from civilization, during
which great fears were entertained for
his safety, has turned up again on the
west coast Of Africa, having travelled
across the continent through hitherto
unexplored region of the interior. His
journey, as he recounts it in letter
from the mouth of the Congo, dated
Aug. 10, was one continual battle with
the cannibal tribes in the interior who
contested the advance Of his party at
every step, shooting them with poisoned
arrows from behind rocks and trees
Even the hasty narration of the toll,
some and dangerous journey given in
Stanley's letter, reads like a chapter
from Marco Polo, and if not too highly
wrought by Stanley's characteristically
glowing imagination, it will stand as one
of the most thrilling and remarkable ex-
ploits of adventure and endurance in
history, and will place the name OF
Stanley in the list of the great ex-
plorers.

THAT was singular omission in the
minute account of the affecting inter
view between Ben Butler and Senator
Morton, that the usually painstaking re-
porter did not indicate whether the tears
that fell from the oblique visioned Mas
sachusetts statesman poured straight
down, or zig-zagged like the water in a
fish-wav to a mill dam.

THE Herald says that the receipts
from the Dubuque Fair will be between
$4,000 and $4,000, leaving handsome
surplus of profit to make up for former
losses. Every person who has knowl-
edge of the honorable and straightfor-
ward manner in which the Association
has always met it's obligations and full
filled its promises, even in the face OF
Encouragement and loss, when it had
plausible excuse for evading them, will
be pleased to hear of it's success this
season.

Greenbacker, did you ever stop to
think that the great head center of your
party, the man from whom you draw
your inspiration, the man who tells you
what to do and how to do it, is that
old putrid, ranting, violent copperhead,
Brick Pomeroy, the man who gave more
aid and comfort to rebellion than any
other man in the North. This is the
man who is now furnishing doctrine for
you to preach from, and having busted
up" few times running printing Of
fee he is now a proper fountain head
for the greenback party. Bah!-Osha-
Znnsn Herald.

JUDGE WEST, the Republican candi-
date for Governor of Ohio, seems to
have correct idea of the fallacy of in
fation, and a graphic way of expressing
it. He says: Issue more greenbacks
in time of peace, and down they 60 till
the currency is as diluted as that home-
opathic soup made from boiling the
shadow of a starved chicken"

PRESIDENT HAYES, accompanied by
Secretaries Evarts, McCrary, Thompson
and Schurz, and Postmaster General
Key, visited Louisville, KY, last Satur-
day, and were greeted with a most i'm
posing and hospitable welcome by the
people of Kentucky The great bridge
across the Ohio was garlanded with
flowers, as were the houses along the
route of the procession, amidst which
were hung patriotic notices and inscrip-
tons. Business was suspended and the
entire population of the city gave them
selves up to demonstrations of respect
and confidence for the chief magistrate
of the nation and his advisers. Speeches
of welcome were made by the Mayor
and Rev. Stuart Robinson, which were
responded to by President Hayes and
the distinguished members of his escort.
1t was most auspicious opening of the
Southern Presidential tour, and will be
followed by other demonstrations calcu-
lated to promote peace and good will
between the two sections.
