Domestic infelicity," which newspaper

such an important part in life's drama, is
often the result of lingering or chronic

dread diseaseP Perhaps the husbands liver
becomes torpid, and he experiences bitter,

sensations, alternating with great heat and
dryness of the surface of his body, pain in

The Time to Resume.

Pendlcton says that the declaration
of Sherman that the resumption law
"must. shall and will be executed" in
1879, '.produces joy only in the house
of the usurper and money lender"
And then Pendleton says:
ave [the Democrats don't believe
that resumption in 1879, under our
present condition of bnsiness, Is pos
sible. Specie payment, l hope, will
come. There are conditions under
which it would be beneficent; condi.
tions under which it will come with
blessings, and not curses along with
it. Those conditions are this resump-
ton act should be repealed, and this
silver shall be remonetized, that our
industries shall be energiZed, and by
the bounty of this great and growing
people applied to the industries, by all
the beneiactions that God has given
US, to make this productive country.
we shall bring all the other nations of
the world to lay their tributes at our
feet. When this is done-when we
are creditors and not debtors; when
our bonds are at home, and when our
country is not drained by debt; when
coin is coming to us and not going
from us; when the country blooms
and prospers through the whole land !;
when other nations bring their wealth
and lay it, as it ought to be laid, at the
feet of this people, as combining more
noble and grand qualities; and when,
through Gods goodness to us, we en-
ter that condition-then we can re-
sumo, and then it will be beneficent."

Political Disc u ussiOn.

The joint debates between Hon.
George II. Pendleton aud General
Garfield are ended. The Enquirer, in
summing up the result of the contest,
says:
Mr.. Pen dleton undertook to prove,
and did prove, that the business de-
preston is due to the vicious financial
nolicv of the Republican party. He
limited his arguments TO this topic,
and no part OF his argument upon this
subject was successfully assailed.-
Contraction, decentralization Of silver,
the Resumption Act, among present
questions, and every phase of Repub-
lican financial legislation for twelve
years, were unanswerahlYa attacked by
the Democratic orator. General Gar
field was entirely discomfited upon
the leading questions of the living
campaign. He was driven into con-
fession that he was in favor of con-
traction. He was forced to evade the
question whether or not he or his par
ty was in favor of the full restoration
of the old silver dollar. He was in
vited to answer yes or no, and he
dared not. He was compelled to
dodge tie resumption question. He
was shown what resumption by hoard
ing meant, and what resumption by
contraction meant. How much are
you able to hoard? How much are
you willing TO contract There is no
answer TO either question. The man
emerges from debate, wearing tho
laureis, who put his opponent in an
inextricable dilemma, in corner
whence there is no escape. Mr.. Pen
dleton, therefore, whose cause was
Just, wears the laurel.

The Democratic House last winter
passed An act repeating the Resump-
too Bill, but the Republican Senate
killed it, and now Sherman and the
Republican party say, that Resump-
tion, "can be, ought to be, and will be
executed" though it bankrupt the
whole country. Those who are OPP
posed to forced Resumption and fore
cd contraction, should have no doubt
a. to the party with which they should
cast their votes. TheDemocraticp par
ty by its representatives has shown its
faith by works in accordance with the
principles of the party. So with the
Republican party, it may talk against
contraction and resumption, but tn
acts of its leaders declare the opposite

Correspondence.
Last Saturday evening the Registra-
ton officers concluded their labors by
registering Is voters. We have check
ed four Republicans who failed to
comply with the Registration law all
though duly and timely notified by
their party. One of them pithily re-
marks, T was born in this country.
I never did anything that would de-
prive me of the rights of citizenship,
only that my business interests requir-
ed me to move from the borders of
one county into another and the party
who made the law to disfranchise me
for that offence must do without my
vote," although a life long Republican.
We sincerely hope the Republican
wOrkingmen all over the state will
take the same manly view of the Reg
istration law and vote for the party
who pledge themselves to repeal it.
We were enlivened on Saturday
evening by Lawn Festival, given for
the benefit of the band. The "boys,"
with the kindly assistance of the MarI-
boro band, gladdened our hearts with
several well executed pieces of sweet
music. Every one seemed happy, the
object is to get up q new band wagon
which is now partly made, our local
mechanics taking hold of the parts APP
prOpriate to their craft with praise
worthy energy. AS a social pleasure,
and financial enterprise it was a sue
cess. The friends of the band tender
their hearty thanks to the people of
the surrounding country for their lib
aral patronage.
At our last meeting ofDem. Commit
teemen we concluded to have some
speech making on Monday evening,
Oct. Sth. The gentlemen chosen were
1. IL. Phelps, Il. T. Hatfield and w. B.

requested not to disappoint us. and

DE EmONETIZATION OF Sitter.
The Way the InfaMy was AccOmp-
liShed.

In speech recently delivered at
Marion, Senator Thurman tells how
silver was demonetized. He says it
was not done by the coinage act,
(Which passed and received the ap-
proval of the PresidentApril II, 1879
as is generally supposed. 1t was de-
monetized by the passage of what are
called the revised statutes OF theUDit-
ed States-a compilation of statutes
made by commissioners appointed un-
der an act of Congress to gather to-
gether the statutes of theUnitcdStatcs
in force December 1, 1873, which were
scattered through some eighty or niae-
ty volumes into one volume. This
act passed in June, 1874, and was ap-
proved by the President on the 22d of
that month. This Commission, ac-
cording to Senator Thurman, changed
the phraseOlOgy of the law, without
authority. The "REvIsED" law doesn't
say as the act of 1873 did, that the
''trade dollar" merely should be le-
gal tender for the amount of five dol
lars, but 'tAe sitUer coin," thereby in.
clading the dollars of the fathers, as
well as the trade dollar and thus do
ing by indireciion schat they dared not
do openly, get rid of the old silver dol
lar. The act was read by its title and
'passed without its being known at
all, unless to some few who were in
tho secret"
Senator Thurman says the act was
done in a "sccret way" and will take
from the people the privilege of using
moro than $lOO,O0O,O00 of silver. 1t
takes from debtor people that much
of the means by which they pay their
debts and transact their business. IT.

much genuine patriotism a man has

has, since his advent here few days

influence among Southern members
for Randall's reelection, and has no
doubt that after the hard struggle
which will certainly take place over
the position, that Randall will be re-
elected. Railroad Tom Scott will soon
put in his appearance and work hard
against the reelection of Randall, but
we apprehend with little or no success,
