fstrong, and Armstrong was the famous

resist Mitchelrs claim on that account.
| Mr.. Bruce, OF Mississippi, presented d
petition OF citizens OF his State Drawing for
The refunding Of the tax paid on cotton
during the years 1885, 1886, 1887, and 1865,
ind that It be returned to the States I'm
which It was collected II not claimed within
three years, Referred to the Committee on
Finance.
Mr.. Bruce said that this question was Of
considerable importance, and as to whether
the money shall be returned to the States
in which It was collected or to the indiYid-
Huals from whom it was collected he was not
now prepared to say, but he felt sure it
should be returned in some way.
The Senate bill to revive and extend the
provisions of an act approved June 8, 1872,

that he had two arguments to adduce

deemed harmless by the Dem mics, and

few years since in Guernsey county,
and run for an Office on the granger
ticket, (and defeated of course), there
by disgracing the Democracy ia which
he had been trained. Finding The iu-
come resulting from his devotion %
grangerism not of very paying qusIis
ty, he now seeks to return to hesold
family fold by way of San office
at the hands of Governor Bishop. But
that witty gentleman is too old bird
to be caught with chaff, especially chaff
discounted of its real value by the ten
per cent of grangerism. The blond
granger therefore returns in ,greyt dis
gust from Columbus, and Is very free
in his charges of corruption against the
party at whose hands he was selecting
fayors. Money, he claims, is the open
sesame to all offices of honor or profit,
and if he had sufficient quantity OF
the filthy lucre he could have beaten
Pendieton for U. S. Senator. Lacking
in this particular, however, he was
considered lacking in all, and conse-
quently had to retire in favor of others
whose hands are pure from stains of
opposition to pure democracy. His
case is sad one, but it points moral
to all youthful aspirants, not to wan
der from the beaten track of principle
of the fathers, by dallying with the
strange goddesses of Ceres and Pomona.

does not seem to restore confidence to
any material extent. Business men,
who are desirous of doing safe and
honorable business, are wholly at sea
in reference to the issues of the future.
If such sweeping financial changes as
are proposed, should take place. there
are few il any persons can predict the
results, near or remote, to the business
interests of the country. Manufactu-
rers and business men in general Will
all be compelled TO contract their cpe-
rations, and feel their way cautiously
until the new order of things shall be
re-adjusted.a Should the proposed f.
nancial scheme become law, we may
expect all the National Banks to wind
up business at once, and in their stead
the country be filled with innumera
Bile private establishments, ready to go
down in ruins at any adverse turn of
fortunes wheel. No new enterprises
will be undertaken-labor will seek in
vain for employment, and the vast ar
my of the unemployed, already almost
innumerable, will be greatly increased,
while the want and misery everywhere
apparent, will become burden of gil
gantic proportions in every communi-
ty. We are evidently standing upon
the verge of a precipice, into whose
fathomless depths of ruin and bank
ruptcy it will take but a slight addi-
tional force beyond the present agen-
cies, to plunge the whole body polite.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that our
fears are groundless, but the evident
tendency of the times is we'll calcula-
ted to cau,e every true patriot to rally
to the standard of National credit, and
seek to avert the impending ruiz
