Esq, Wednesday morning, between
Geo. G. Sturgis aud r. II. Keck,
Esqrs. Dispositions were being
taken in the Ryan Crothers case,
and in the course of events MI X.
intimated. in pretty strong terms,
that Mr.. S. was a l-ohl 'fbber.
Whereupon Sturgiss went for Mr..
KS d-pipe and clicked him a
little, before " friends separated
them. We regret this occurrence

THE letter Of Mr.. VIM. G. Brown,
In last weeks Journal, is eminently
characteristic of the man, and quite
In keeping with the sinuous aud sell
fish course Of his political life. 1t is
but another attempt of this cunning
and crafty politician to befog and
bamboozle the people and delude
them into voting in the interest Of
VIM. @. Brown and his fellow bond
holders and National Bank asso-
ciates.
He purposely misstates the ques-
ton, and his whole line Of reasoning
is a bit Of special pleading worthy Of
the advocate and his cause,
II the position Of the Democrats
and Greenbackers, in reference to
the bond question, 10 fallacious, who
so stupid and ofedulous ss not to
know that Mr.. Brown could and
a0ouLd, in one.lourth OF the space
used, have rendered that fallacy
clear aud unmistskable by simply
reproducing the contract between
the Government and lis bondholders2
The conditions Of payment are upon
the face Of every bond issued by the
nation; and by these conditions, az
they we're made, let all abide. Let
the bond that stipulstes for gold
payment be paid ia gold; but let the
bond that stipulateS for payment in
legal tender funds, be paid in legal
tender funds.
Why not? Where 10 the "unmHi.
gated dishonor" in paying each &C
cordiDg to contract Can anybody
except Mr.. Brown, or one OF bic
class, zee anything like unmitiQat ed
dishonor ia this? 10 it not manifest
that this is the only rule by which
justice is assured alike 10 The bond
hoider and taxpayer
We cannot mistake what The terms
Of The contract are, but we might
differ very widely as TO what they
ought to be: the fret being a smple
matter q fact, the latter mere
matter Of opinion.
The residence Of the holder Of Toe
bond can IN no wise affect the cues
ton.

AT this late day some of the New
Orleans physicians contend that the
scourge that is devastating the
Southern cities is not yellow fever
but the African plague, They cite
as supporting this theory the fact
that mortality is this time excessive
among children aud negroes, where
as yellow fever has rarely if ever
been known to prove fatal among
either of these classes.

HhA "OHueiIuiiy luIeIllPent(! y
man, L. +. Lanham, of Newburg,
Preston county, West Virginia,
comes out in last weeks Journal
making another personal attack up
on us. We do not see that he has
any right, whatever. to make an
attack upon Us without cause. All
that We ever said about this Lanham
was in criticising his public proceed
ings while in a public position at
Newburg, all of which we had a per.
!ect right to do, for when he accept
ed the position he made his actiops
public, and they belong to the pub
lie, as far as it wishes to criticise
tn EN-, and he cannot prevent crit
cism.
Now, Lanham has shown himself
fool; and, in fact, very ungentle-
manly and ignorant, by making a
pen sonal attack upon US for criticize
ing his extremely ignorant handling
of parliamentary points while chair
man of a political convention.
This same Saintcd Lanham is a
member Of the M. +. Church and at
the same time CANDLES and drinks
whiskey. He was caught playing
"eeven-up," for ten ceuts a corner.

ence, with VIM. Belts (who is now
serving a term in the State Peniten.
tiary for horse stvaIing), Joseph
Whitley, colored, and G.. NJ. Shafsr
the blacksmith. This can be proven
by good witnesses.
This same Lanham, the immacu-
late archanqel, was, previous to the
I'd day OF August, a Greenbacker
He was agent for the Greenback Id.
vocate and procured a great many
subscribers for 1t IN that section: but
Dawson aud McCrum boughs him by
making him chairman Of the conven-
ton.
This same moral Lanham expected
to be married last month 10 a very
estimable young lady, Of Taylor
county, who went back" on Lin
because he was SO ungentlemanly
and unprIncipled a. to show her let
ters aud ask persons what they
thought Of them. Nothing but an
i'll bred illiterate, self-conceited for

kind but it shows the style and
character Of Lsnhau.

TO the trouble Of noticing ibis indi-
yiduai again, and if are, we shall

ysrsy with any one; but when We
get into them through the fault Of

CONTRACTION goes on at the rate
of a million a day. The gold for
which the four per cents, are sold is
boarded. The Sherman mill griuds
exceeding fast and fine. His policy
has filed the country with ruin and
bankruptcy. Every day record 8
the failure of the oldest and most
reliable business firms of the country.
The accommodations Of years are lost
in the shrinkage that contraction
brings about Fortunes are wrecked
thousands are thrown out of EN-.
ployment and their families reduced
to starvation; yet Sherman relents
not. Strikes are not the remedy for
these evils. The ballot box is our
only hope. Let the people reverse
the present financial policy of the
