could be- killed or taken prisoner. the
siege of Vicksburg could be raised and
the Federal army driven back. He sent
for Joe Lee and impaired to him his
thoughts. and asked him II he could de-
vise q plan. II was readily taken Ia by
Lee, who Immediately proposed TO exc

She raped on It haatily, and get.

attempting to rob the store. Hs paid
no heed to her, bu; proceeded to walk

pressed un these gentlemen by Mr..
Ewing, bu, they held inAexibly the
position that resumption can be safely
entered on by the lst Of January, 1870,
and that with The present favorable
outlook Of good crops and q balance
Of trade IN favor Of this country, rs.
sumption can be maintained. They
expressed the belief, however, that the
maintenance OF specie payments would
not be assured unless portion of the
currency circulation 10 retired, aud the
foreign exchanges continue 10 be 10
our favor. Mr.. Vermilye thought that
500 100000 or $4,000, 900 Of the out.
standing United States notes should be
retired, in order 10 make specie re.

Some say nothing is wanting now
but confidence 10 secure o revival OF

We would by no means underValue
the necessity of confidence, but think
something more 10 indispensable.
Money iS 90 essential as confidence
Confidence is 9 good basis for credit,
bat It will not pay debts. With less
than half The volume Of circulating
medium OF any civilized country on the
globe, with four times the necessities
OF any other, with heavier tax levies
than any other, II is vain to suppose
thu. au era Of prosperity iS immediate
ly before us.
Coming down 10 gold, will furnish
no man with g day's work or loaf OF
bread. 1t will enable no debtor to re-
lieve himself Of his endorsements,
and will pay no man's taxes.
We have contracted debts, entered
upon business enterprises, bought real
estate, with q circulating medium OF
more than $50 per capita, and now pro-
pose TO square accounts With less than

problem which cannot be solved either

The Great Frnud .

The accomplishment OF the fraud by
which Mr.. Hayes was made de fdcto
President, belongs 10 the whole Radical
party, aud the people should never for
get that not one Of the Radical leaders
protested against il, or opened his mouth
at the proper time In advocacy OF jus.
tice aud fair play. Il is useless now
for C0nkling & Co. to come to the
front and denounce the fraud, because
the denuncIatiOu is untimely. The
sound commOn-sense judgment Of the
American people win place the fraud
where It properly belongs, on the
shoulders Of the whole Radical party.
They will blame Mr.. Hayes less
than they do the leaders Of the
Radical party, for he was 10 their
hands, and Ills WeIl-knoWn that he
eoRld not have secured the Presidency
but through their sGorts. Il Was !
