ETIDENCE THAT he MAS
RIGHT.

The Philadelphia Record is not at all
pleased with Senator Wallacc's finan.
cial views, and referring to his vote on
the amendments to the silver bill, says.
But wh,n |, came 10 question Of limiting the
legal tender quality Of the silver coin, Mr.. Wal

him, and who cannot afford To make serious mis-
takes.
As there is just where the difference
is. The Record is, in its own estima-
tion, and perhaps IN the estimation
of many others, the ablest, as it is the
most subservient tool the bond.holdcrs
and gold-gamblers OF the country have
in this State. 1t leaves no opportunity
pass to say n good word for those for
whom it's efforts seem to be particular
ly directed, nor docs it miss chance
to be little and place in false position
those who do not see as il does, or be-
lieve rs its masters would have il be-
lieve. The principles itadvocates sit on
the back OF the business interests ofthe
country, as did the old man of the sea
on that of the Sailor Sinbad. The
more ii can oppress and weigh down,
the more ii can retard business and in.
crease taxation, the harder II can make
times and tho plcnticr il can have
Sheriff's sales, the better il seems
pleased, because the greater is the in
come and prosperity of the Shylockf
whom it represents.
1t is not TO be wondered at then that
the vote of Senator Wallace, or any
other representative, in the interest o
the masses, Of the business, OF the pros
pcrity and the general good of thu
country, should meet the disapproba
tion of the Record, Its censures OF

DouBLy WRONG The trial OF the
Ilunlzingcrs, the Pottsvillc Bank rob.
bcrs, at Reading, and the suspension of
three Banks recently at the latter
place, has created great excitement in
the latter city. Public meetings have
been held dcnouncing the officers of the
dcfunct institutions as public robbers,
while many in the excited assembly
demanded that they should be hung
right along without incurring the time
or expense Of n jury trial This is just
where we will land, IL the frauds per.

members, Patterson and Conover, for

may weaken. Anyhow, there will be
some lively times in the executive ses.

THE WAGES OF iS.--Radicalism has
entailed misfortune to thousands. In
the South particularly, where many Of
the carpet-baggers lived in clover while
committing all manner OF crimes, and
plundering tho taxpayers, their fate

coming to an end. The few remarks
made by a South Carolina Judge few

Although the lightning has struck
several Radical Senators over at Wash

In the struggle of ideas the Republican party
has not yet been beaten. Its practical pOlti-

upon the Justice Of It's aims and the public np.

This very same journal, in nearly
every issue since the organization Of
the Radical party in 1856, has informed
its readers, that the leaders of that party
were governcdand controlled by "grand

fifteen years this same Radical party
has ruled the Church and State in this
