Mr.. Editor-You have called a "Halt."
"Who comes there! Friend, advance
friend and give the countersign." Coun-
tcrsign. elf it be right to comply with
the wrong, then it is wrong to comply
with the right" And without further
preliminary wo must admit the existence
of two sides to this ugly little question.
Men may differ in opinion, as we'll as in
capacity and learning, but the principles
upon which they act either for good or
bad, must remain unchanged, while it
becomes an easy system of ethics for
these men to change their opinions. The
case is a plain one, transparent and tieNi.
BILE, and to an unbiased, fair-minded in
dividual, easily comprehendcd. To charge
every one with completely in All organic
ed ring on both sides, would be unwar-
rantablc, but to say that there existed u
ring on opposed to the other, must
be as evident as tho split which exists
between the citizens of this dist1 acted
parish. And good Mr.. Editor, let me
take occasion here to state, that see
nothing to applaud in the one, or to de-
fclld in the other. The grand old Dcmoc-
racy recognizes no such action upon the
part of it's members, however refractory
some among them may become in the
heat Of electioneerinG contests; for there
is no question of party, or party prinei-
pies; and for that reason the Democratic
Conservative party cannot and will not
sustain the issues growing out of private
and individual interests. The good peo-
complications at the hands of demagog-
ucs, or political time servers. We shall
not be compelled to scramble through tho
entire records of our common country to
define the rights of citizens, nor shall we
be drawn into tho discussion of Gues-
ton involving the principles thereto
belonging. The right of citizenship On
tails tho right of franchise, and this is the
right and privilege of every American
citizen of whatever race or color. We
sec in the notice of our worthy parishion-
er Mr.. SamI J, Powell, calling upon the
citizens of West Feliciana for u mass
mccting-a request, "that all Democrat
ic-Conservativo voters acting in unison
with tho Democratic Conservative party,
in accord with its principles, are request
ed to attend and participate in the de
alterations of the meeting" This meet
ing was called, and the democratic. con-
servative voters were invited to attend
and participate i'll the deliberations

il is probable that her colored population
are, % whole, somewhat in advance Of
their race in the other Southern States,
but the same influences at work in Virginia
are alive all over the South. Plantations
are divided into small tracts OF land, aver
aging perhaps fifty acres, and the colored
people are buying mp these tracts, orrenting
them, and farming for themselves. Al.
really good fruits Of this change are mani.
fest in the greatly improved conditions Of
the colored people. Mrs. EARLY undcubt.

son for believing that the picture drawn
Ivy her is an equally faithful representation
Of the colored race throughout the South.

FATAL COLLISION on D.&M.R.R.
Seventeen Freight Cars and Two En-.
glnes Hopeless Wreck-Ed.
LaWler Instantly Killed.

Yesterday morning, a terrible collision
occurred at 3 o'clock on the Dayton d
Michigan Railroad at Swanders Station,
tour miles north of Sidney, between two
freight trains. We are indebted to WILL.C.
NORTON, night operator here, for the fol.
lowing particulars obtained from tho asSo.
ciated press dispatches sent from Sidney
last night:
The southwark bound train had received
orders to sidetrack at Swanders for the
northward bound train, which had been
notified, at Piqua, to meet them there, and
{" be on the look out. The south train
arrived ON time, and moved slowly to low
er end OF switch to back in. The north
train came along ut rate Of twenty miles
an hour, down grade, supposing the south
train was on tine sidetrack, aud did not
discover the mistake until within n few
car lengths OF the other engine. Engineers
0i both trains called clown brakes" but
il was too late. Both engineers and fire.
men prepared TO jump. The two engines
collided with terrible force, completely
wrecklng the engines and seventeen cars.
Seven cars were thrown on top OF each
other. Ed Lawlor, of Lima, engineer Of
north train, failed TO jump, aud was in
Stantly killed. His remains were not se-
cured from the wreck until IL o'clock
n. N. yesterday. lie was one OF the oldest
engineers on the road, aud was considered
Trustworthy and reliable. lie leaves II

The New York Times pronounces "the
American system of finance" recently for
mulated by the National Convention in
indianapolis, "a compound derived from
the financial quacks OF all nations, hither-
to rejected by American statesmen Of all
parties" The ST. Louis Republican tries
to sound the depths OF folly in the same
platform, but fails to fnd bottom. Refer
ing to the Conventions declaration of
"uncompromising hostility TO the perpet-
uation OF the system of government bonded
Indebtedness, which is intended to bind
unborn generations in chains" the Repub-
lican says: "Pay as you go is good rule,
but the Indiana Nationals do not tell us
how the government is to live up to il.
Issuing new grcenbacks for every new OBJ
legation will not meet the case, for the
country would grow sick of greenbncks
and Spew them out" The general opin.
ion outside Of lunatic asylums is that the
platform is one OF the most nonsensicaI
ever put forward by a convention.

The Mayor read the following letter from
j. r. Tyler Esq:
Perrysburg, May 2l, 1873.
Gentlemen Of the Council Of PerVsbuo. o.,
] am notified in writing to report to YOU
farther, as n member OF the Finance Com.
mittee. about the negotiation Of certain
bonds, which your notice states have been
placed in the hands OF the Finance Com.
mittee, at some past period No such
bonds were ever placed in the hands of
said Committee. As one Of said Commit.
tee l never saw any such bond or bonds
know nothing whatever as to the same
being negotiated-never handled or saw
one penny of the proceeds thereof If the
same have been negotiated by any member
Of the old Finance Committee, il was en-.
tirely an individual matter and one over
which ], MS one member of said Committee
never had any control, and Of which
never had any knowledge. The
Committee, rs Committee, to my knowl
edge, never received or used, in any way
either said bonds or their proceeds Hop
ing this will be satisfactory, | am gentle
men, Yours, &c,
JAMES r. TYLER.
?. S. ] owe you all an apology for not
being more frequently at your meetings
but sickness and absence on professional
business must excuse me. i.
This letter was ordered placed on flc.
After some remarks, in which the belief
was expressed that Mr. Tyer's associate on
the old Finance Committee would report
by the next meeting of the Council, further
consideration of the subject was postponed
uutil next regular meeting.
The claim ordinance was then read a
third time aud passed, after which the
Council adjourned
