vote to make the farmers pay for the streets,
gas and other Injuries Of the Union's whilst
it should go free from taxation by its exalted
position. Now as this is a matter worthy of
consideration and as there are other Demo-
cratic papers in this district not holding alto
gether the same views, it might not be proper
to make such an unjust discrimination in favor
of the Union, for fear of arousing the jealousy
of others: and as the Democ ratio party is in
principle opposed to one paper or one man
power, we deem it proper that such prefer
ence should not be given the Union.
We hold that Montgomery county is entitled
TO the Congressional nomination, and from
present appearances the people of this county
will have a fair opportunity of giving express
sion of their choice, and we are willing to
wait patiently for that expression, believing as
we do that if the nomination is given TO Mont
gomery county the other counties will pay
some respect to her will and choice AS
Democratic paper we have no reproachful
word for any gentleman who may aspire 10 the
nomination. We have confidence in the wis-
don, and prudence in the Democratic conven-
ton that the man selected by it shall be the
nominee of the whole party against all radi-
calls and their allies. Those who prefer the ik
OF such as we have seen from Louisiana may
support them; as for ourselves we do believe
in the entire Democratic party. Could you find
a rabble so mean, so contemplate, SO DECEASED,
so crminally guilty and unworthy of support
as jerks, John Sherman and Stanley Matthews,
and according to Radical papers these are the
best in that party. They may be good enough
for the Union where it would make differ
ence of two or three dollars, but they are not
good enough for the most disinterested DEM
crat in Montgomery county. Our Democrats
stand upon principles and arc not swerved by
dollars and cents.
Mr.. Peters vote TO repeal the "Belt Law" is
a creditable one, one showing upon his part in
an Official capacity desire to mete out justice
regardless of an anticipated unjust denuncia-
ton by those who love to hoard accumulation
at the expense Of others-anticipated from
men who make money their God.
Right in the end must conquer, that being
so these grumbers will live only to hate MIR.
Peter the more.

The peace of Europe has taken another lease
Of life, and let it be hoped long one. The
congress of the powers at Berlin ended its
labors Saturday, and the treaty of peace be-
tween Turkey and Russia, as revised and
amended. was formally signed. The results
Of the war thus closed are Of vast importance
TO civilization, Notwithstanding the failure Of
Russia to accomplish oil it desired. The mas
ter hand Of Lord Beaconsfeld appears in the
terms Of the treaty. To him the Porte owes
its continued existence on both sides of the
Bosphorus. But the rcmodclng of European
Turkey and the English protectorate of Ar
menia will be the beginning of a new life to the
Mussulman empire. Already English enter
prise is directed towards Cyprus. The new
provinces in Europe must revive and progress
under liberal regime. The systematic per-
secu,ions for religions sake are ut an end and
as soon as the asperties of the war are worn
away. though the atrocities which preceded
and attended it may never be forgotten, there
Is no reason why there should not begin
long reign Of peace and prosperity.

SECRETARY SHERMAN ON RESUMPTION. dur
ing Secretary Sherman's late interview with
the New York bankers he is said to have ex-
pressed himself much pleased with the present
condition OF the treasury, and of national
finances generally in their relation TO speedy
and successful resumption Of specie pay ments
The secretary was very positive in stating that
he proposed no new loans and no new meas
ures. What he was mainly anxious about
was that the receipts of the treasurer on ac-
count OF the 4 per cent. bonds, and the dis
bursements on account of the called bonds,
commencing on July 80, should be SO managed
as 10 furnish an increasing instead of dimin-
ishing supply Of coin in the market. In his
opinion all the contingencies are favorable to
that result. The holders of the called bonds,
when they receive their gold in exchange,
will rush to sell it, thus placing the entire
amount on the market. The cotton crop prom
ses to be larger and earlier as September
we will be importing large quantities Of gold
on this account. The importations of United
States bonds have fallen off to nothing, and
exports OF American products have so greatly
increased that sterling exchange has declined
TO rates almost unparalleled at this time OF
year. Thus natural causes have combined to
facilitate early resumption. The secretary said
that, having only small balance of currency
on hand, he would be obliged to disburse coin
to meet current expenses and 10 pay the large
appropriations made by Congress during the
closing days of the session. Although he was
doubtful OF his right to redeem green backs in
coin before January !, he was perfectly clear
under the law of the legality of resuming in
the way indicated, and he proposed to begin
on August /. The only use for gold at pres
cut is to buy silver with which to pay customs
duties. This will be done away with wher
the treasury begins TO deal out silver, and tn,
present slight premium on gold will then dis.
appear. The silver so paid ont will return tc
The treasury in the form Of duties, and SO will
not interfere with the course of trade or chang,
essentially the character of the general volum,
OF currency. The bankers and bank officer
OF New York with whom the secretary was il
consultation are said to fully concur in tn,
views as set forth and TO promise their entir,
cooperation In carrying out such measures Al
the secretaey proposes to adopt.

We regret to see that Mr.. George W. Peck,
OF Lacrosse, Wisconsin, in Fourth-of-July
Grafton takes the ground that the Eagle is not
fit-symbol or trademark for the American
people. lie produces evidence to establish the
Tact that the eagle eats mice aud snakes, steals
babies, and is a coward. Mr.. Peck takes the
gsound that we are a nation OF patient, for
bearing, accomplishing and hard working
people, that we should adopt the mule as our
national emblem. lie says that we are a
nation OF uncomplainibg hard-workers. We
ploi along, doing Ms we would be done by.

10 anger. So is the mule. As nation we
occasionally stick our ears forward aud fan

The reasons alleged 10 Washington for the
suspension of Collector Arthur, OF New York,
are--6rst that the investigation OF the invoice
system revealed such laxity OF administra-
ton on the part of the Collector that an i'm
mediate change became imperative second,
that report received from the Commission
touching undervaluations, reflects severely on
