It is a fact not generally known
that in the National Banking Law
there is a clause which prevents
these Banks from issuing notes of a
denomination of less than S., after
resumption takes place. AS the Re-
sumption Law takes effect on the
first day of next January, after that
time the Banks will not be permitted
to issue any more small bills, and
the consequence will be that there
will be a great scarcity of small bills
for change and the merchant and
business man will be put to a great
deal of annoyance and trouble in
business. This is another of the
beauties of the National Banking
business. No wonder the people are
waking up to the Importance of wip-
ing out these Banks and substituting
therefore a currency that they can
control themselves instead ofone con
trolled by the National Banks.

The electoral votes of the States
carried by the Republicans foot up
207. The electoral votes of the states
carried by the Democrats number
156. The whole number of electoral
votes is 1876, a majority 185. Here
is q plain statement of cold facts for
Democratic leaders to contemplate.
1t is time to put away folly and non
sense and jealousy if the popular
triumph of 1876 is not to be lost in
1880. The party has two years be-
fore it in which to repair its errors
and regain the confidence of the
country.

Because the people of the South
wouldnot elect to Congress, such I'M
mitigated scoundrels as ]. MADISON
WELLS, of Returning Board infamy,
and ANDERSON, who was convicted of
a penitentiary offence, the Radical
journals keep up a wonderful howl
about the ''sofid South and the
shotgun policy" They expect by
such a cry to be prepared to count
in another President in 1880. But
the people will put a quietus to an
other proceeding of that kind.

The Republican chickens in Flori-
da, have come home to roost. Two
years ago, the Republicans of Flcri-
da, with their %serviceable Returning
Board, rejected and changed enough
returns, to give the State to Hayes
and elect the Republican ticket
Now, when a Democratic Returning
Board rejects some crooked returns,
fixed up to cur q Republican Con
gresham, the Republicans "kick
like steers and call upon the FEEDER
al authorities for help. The Repub-
licans Of Florida probably know by
this time, that as they so.T, so shall
they reap, and that figs are not gath
cred from thistles. The poisoned
chalice has returned to their own
lips, and they must drink of its con-
tents.

THE CASE Briefly STATED.

Everybody complains of hard
scarcity of work and money,
and no immediate prospect of i'm
provement. There is only one way
to restore confidence, enliyen trade,
re-kindle fires of industry, and give
work TO those who need it, and that
is to stop stealing, swindling, extra
vagance and fraud in high political
offices, and insist upon honesty, re-
sponsibility and craftsmanship in
the national as we'll as in the State
administration. The people know
and severely feel the necessity of a
change of rulers. Those only who
hold or expect to hold office, and the
poor party bigots and slaves who are
fit for nothing else than to hew wood
and draw water will deny that the
party in power is responsible for the
evils under which the country now
suffers, and the only possible remedy
will be a change. "But," says a Re
publican, who claims to be indepen.
dent and fair and free from party
bigotry: II have voted on both
sides, and tried both parties, and
found both to be at fault-incompe.
tent, corrupt and dishonest" Now.
is this true? Let US ask a few ques.
tions for honest and fair men to
answer:
Did we ever hear of such scenes Of
anarchy and fire and blood as those
of 1877 when the Democrats were in
power?
When under Democratic rule, was
the country overrun with hundreds
of thousands of poor, miserable
tramps, as now?
When, under a Democratic admin.
istration of the government, were the
newspapers filled with fraud, defal
cation, bankruptcy, ENLIGHTENMENT
perjury, forgery, and all name o
crime as at the present time?
Can the Democratic President bt
named under whose administration
scores of millions were stolen under
sham government contracts, such
for instance, as the naval swindles
under the Grant-Robeson admins
tration?
Can the Democratic President b.
named under whose administrator
appointments werem made and official,
promoted because they proved to b,
specially skilled in stealing, swind
ling forging, and false swearing, a
under the present and preceding ad
ministration?
1t is true there are also bad mel
identified with the Democratic party
But it is not true that they + tn
representative men of the party
Tweed was a Democrat, but as 500
as it was discovered that he was
thief, the local Democratic authori
ties of New York arrested, tried
convicted, and imprisoned him. An
when he escaped, they followed hir
up into a foreign land, brought hir
back to his cell in the penitentiary
where death only ended his disgrace
full career. This is the Democrat
manner of dealing with leading erin
inals. But how do the Republican,
Let the story of Belknap, of Babcocf
of Boss Shepherd, of Robson, an
other thieving leaders of the Repul
lican party answer.

The New York World says they
are debating at Washington whether
to hang II not to hang on the Capt.
toll walls a picture representing the
Electoral Commission. The debate
seems to turn on political considera-
tions, which are really irrelevant.
The question should be looked at
from an aesthetic point of view and
by the light of precedents. Thus
considering it, we have little hesita-
ton in saying that the painting
ought not TO be hung. Buff com
promise is insisted upon to make
things pleasant, let the painter be
hing instead. As the painter is
said TO be q woman, the suggestion
Of the World is ungallant.

The first day of January 1870
which will soon be here is resump-
ton day. Then we shall see "what
is what, and who is who" This will
give us that "restored confidence

clare will unlock the doors OF the
safes which have SO long contained
the boarded millions, and turn loose
upon us a stream CT money hereto

There is such an office at Wash
ington, as the presidential barber,
who is paid from the Federal Treas
ury. The office was established by
Grant and continued by Hayes. The
barber attends to his profession and
which are required at the White
House, yet he is carried On the Treas
ury roll as a clerk. Under Grant he
was rated as a 81, 200 official, but
Hayes has promoted him to a $1,400
berth. 1t is thus that the peoples
money is squandered while want is
staring thousands in the face. Mr..
Hayes, with a salary of $4,000 per
annum, must tax the country to have
his hair brushed and his whiskers
trimmed. Oh, the Fraud?

There is more illegal voting, more
bnll-dozing and more vote buying in
one ward Of Republican Philadelphia
than in the whole State Of South
Carolina says the Washington Post,
and no Radical journal offers a single
howl for shotgun" policy of the
plous city of brotherly love.

Hayes Southern policy did not i'm
press the people of the South as he
thought it would. 1t left them en-
tirely too free to exercise their own
Judgment. The next step will be
back to the fold of the old wheel
horses that he so fearlessly broke
away from.

One of the results of the late cleo
tions is the restoration to official
place of some of the notoriously cor
rupt rogues of Grants regimes. Con
spicuous among these is Robson,
who has been elected to the House
of Representatives from New Jersey.
But, fortunately for the country, the
Democrats will retain control of that
body, and the power for evil of such
fellows as Robson will be limited.

If Henry Hill wants to be re-elect-
ed Inirmary Director next year.. he
should plan out some jobs to be paid
for by the county, and a few weeks

soft shell Republicans to work on
them. 1t is right convenient to tax
the people for eleetioneering purpo-
ses.

H. V. REDF1ELD, the Southern 0
respondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, writing from Atlanta, Ga,
says that the "colored class of popu-

place. So it was the case in every
Southern State at the late elections.
This class of voters have gone back
on their robbers.

The howl of radical journals about
a "solid South and the shotgun

fact that the manumitted slaves have

1t is a great pity the 'solid South"
would not please the Fraud at the
White House, by electing to repre-
sent them in Congress, such villains
as ANDERSON and WELLS. How IN
grateful and perfidious to his Fraud
ulency, who recognized WADE HAMP-
TON, as Governor of South Carolina,
NICHOLS as Governor of Louisiana,
and gave them KEY in his Cabinet?
But they prefer honest men as their

General Butler says that the in
timidation of the white voters in
Massachusetts during the recent
election was as fragrant as " the
intimidation of negro voters in the
South was. He asserts that The in
reference with the right of the poor
laborer to vote as he saw fit, though
moro cunningly managed in Massa-
chusetts than in the South, was bas-
ed on the same theory of politics.
Certainly General Butler has no
greater reason to misrepresent the
people of his own State than he for
merly had to misrepresent the peo-
pie of South Carolina or Louisiana.
Are we to suppose that he is mistak-
en- now and was mistaken then, or
did he speak the truth then and has
he spoken it now? Which horn of
the dilemma will the Republicans
take?

The bondholders and their hang
