MR. EDITOR: 1 again write few

opportunity to report the news from
old Brimfeld. 1t seems homelike to
hear from the locality where one has
been brought up, and one can notice
the many changes that take place with
much more interest. In my previous
letter gave you g description of this
place and surrounding country, and it
may be well to give a few thoughts
about the times and doings as they are
now in this locality. The times could
not very we'll be harder, and we should
Judge that the bottom had been found.
Every body is in debt with few ex-
ceptions) and every body owes every
body and nobody has any money to
pay anybody. The people are getting
poorer every day. The bondholders
and bankers now own the largest par;
of the lands, and will continue to
tighten their grip upon the throats of
the honest laboring men. 1t is all the
poorer classes can do, by the hardest
labor and strictest economy, to make a

westward. There will be large i'm
migration from here TO the West and
Southwest. A good many are going

crn Texas. There is an effort being
made TO organize a colony for north
ern Texas. This colony is to locate in
Stevens county, 60 miles west of FIT.

The Democrats Of Indiana held then
State Convention at the metropolitan
Theatcr in Indianapolis on the 10th

eloquent speech on the great issues OF
the day.

shall be retired, and i'll lieu. thereof
there shall be issued by the Govern

United States notes, commonly called
greenbacks, full legal tender in pay
ment of all debts, public and private,
except such obligations only as are by
the terms of the original contract un-
der which they were issued, expressly
payable in coin that the right to issue
paper money as well as coin, is the cx-
elusive prerogative of the Govern

in such amounts as the sound business
interests of the country may from
time to time require.

The silver Bill Passed.


The Silver Bill, with the amend.
ments made to it in the Senate, passed
the House on Thursday last by vote
OF 2O3 to II, and all that is needed to
make it law is the signature of Mr..
Hayes, and it is not believed that he
will disregard the we'll known and
clearly expressed will of the people
by vetoing it. The bill is not wholly
satisfactory to the friends of the COM
plete reconciliation of silver, but
they voted for it as it came from the
Senate rather than risk its defeat Alto

of the full restoration of silver gave

Congress with such legislation as will

huff over the treatment Of a colored
cadet named Minnie, at the West
Point Military Academy and there
upon correspondent comes to The de-
Tense of the cadets and says: a. The
social ostracism OF colored cadets con-
sisis only in treating them with per

to them except in an official capacity.
this is the course wisely adopted by
The corps of cadets toward all colored
perso rs who are sent here" go
This only increases the venom OF
the Radical organs who denounce the
paIe-faced cadets as snobs," and de-
mand that their pay from the Govern
ment shall be withheld. They will
never be satisfied till perfect Social
equality is established between the
races-till the white boys are willing
to sleep with, cat with, dance with,
and finally lntermarry with their dark
hued fellows. This is an age Of pro-
gress.

privately is ailectionate, unassuming,
