Alderman Isaac r. Fisher, Mike McCul-
Tough aud Alex. Dambly, boiling candi-
dates for the Legislature, and George
Reissinger and john r. HUnden, both
prominent Democratic politicians. 1t was
charged and proven against these men
that they had basely betrayed their party
at the election, aud no defense having been
made by them, they were required to step
down eud out of the association. Our
opinion is That swift expulsion is the only
proper way to treat all such Offenders.

STRUCK JURY.

There was a murder trial last week
in Weldon, N. c., and as usual when
the prisoner is guilty the plea OF IN
sanity was set up. Ills Counsel
showed that the killing WAS dore IN
the change of the moon. The Judge,
however, interrupted and objected to
his going back into the history Of
past ages to show that the SUD or
moon affected lunatics. The lawyers
replied to the judge in an elaborate
argument on luna influence. The
Judge charged the jury against any
such view, but the jury adopted the
moon tt cory and acquitted the pris-
oner. Being the first decision Of that
kind the case excites no little interest
among the legal fraternity.

At IT AGAIN.

Bank failures have been unknown
since the first Of September and we
had almost come to the conclusion
there would be no such things heard
Of again. But last week there was "
grand crash in the great Bank of
Glasgow, in Scotland, with liabilities
amounting to fifty millions Of dollars!
The Grocers Bank, OF Providence, r.
l., failed also last week. The direct
ors did not know that their very re-
spectacle cashier was allowing his
particular friends to overdraw their
accounts. But he was doing that
very thing. Last week they found it
out too late and the bank broke.

STATE ELECTIONS.

The republicans are Growing Justify
over their victory in the Colorado
state election last week. 1t is not a
very big thing in itself, to be sure, but
last year Colorado was somewhat
doubtful and the democrats appropri-
ated the one member Of Congress-
Now the republican congressman is
elected by large majority, and if the
election of President should be thrown
into the House the State Of Colorado
will count equally with the largest
State. The State elections Of Ohio
and Indiana were held en- Tuesday
last and the politicians of both parties
have been waiting with great anxiety
to see how the greenback eat jumps
in those two states.

FIAT MONEY OF l77C.

A friend gave us the other day a
twenty dollar note issued by act OF
Congress during the war l776. 1t Is
cruise sample Of the fiat money or
greenbacks of that day. He said he
could give us a few thousands more
which his grandfather had left him.
Some three or four hundred millions
Of it were issued. History tells US
that the governmet had lively time
making it serve the actual purpose OF
money. The brave old Continental
soldiers had not only to tight the
British, but almost to turn their fire.
locks against butchers, bakers, store
keepers and farmers all around to
make them take these greenbscks.-
fines aud imprisonments were threat
oacd all WHO refused. Congress pass
ed a resolution that its notes were as
good as gold and any body who did
not receive them was an enemy of his
country. Still the Continental green
backs could not be kept at par They
:ell;t fearful discount. For awhile
four of them were about equal to a
silver dollar but a year or so lator
the silver could buy forty or fifty OF
the paper dollars. Flour sold at a
dollar pound, salt forty dollars a
bushel and otherthings in proportion.
A wretched state of things ensued.-
Distress and dependency prevailed
everywhere. Only the influence and
exertions of Washington prevented
meeting in the army. That our lnde-
pendence was gained under such
trials shows the indomitable spirit OF
volutionary patriotism. The gov
eminent finally brought up the Con-
tinental money at the rate of one dol
lar in silver for hundred in paper,
but thousands Of notes were laid away
bv individuals and are every now
and then brought to light as curlosl-
ties. A hundred years have gons by
and the cry for fiat money is again
in the land.

THE FEW Err.

The yellow fevor epidemic which
has now such fearful ravage III the
South this season was brought to New
Orleans by steamer from Havana
on the 8tb of June. This fact has
been clearly traced. 1t was carried
by refugees to Memphis, Grenada
and Brow nsville, there being no ira
ces OF it prior to there arrival. A
female refugee from Memphis carried
it to Chattanooga. Two boys who
had been on an infected steamboat
landed at Hickman, Ky, and both
died. Its spread over wider range
Of country has only been prevented
by vigorous quarantine against in
lection. Last week there was sud-
den and terrible increase Of cases
caused by the return of refugees to
New Orleans. The total deaths in
,arious places exceed 5000.
