The South and Vest Demand.

Quincy [IlI.) Herald.
What are the facts as to the demand made
by the people of the Western and Southern
States concerning financial reforms? They
ask that national policy which has been
steadily pursued until the country is on the
verge of ruin shall cease. That the effort to
bring the business of the land, and all its
property values, to q gold basis shall be aban-
doned. That an immediate end be put to
that system of contracting the currency
which has paralyzed trade throughout the
Union, and they insist that the government
alone shall issue the circulating medium.
They ask that a reasonable amount of cur
rency be kept in use, because it is simply
impossible to dispense with it as we are now
situated, even if it were ever advisable to
do 90

Il Negro Sold at the Block.
Hickman Courier.i

The novel spectacle of selling a negro to
the highest bidder, was witnessed in the
streets of Hickman, KY, on Saturday last.
MIR. James Barksdale was the auctioneer,
and as the negro man stood on the block,
and the voice of the auctioneer rose and fell.
crying the bids, it revived "reminiscences of
old and bygone days. The colored people
crowded around in anxious expectancy. The
negro sold was one Jim Cooper, who had
been previously tried and convicted as va
grant, and the verdict of the jury was that
he should be sold into servitude for six
months, as the law provides and directs.

-Assraoats for Hendricks.
TSt. Charles Union-Ren

[St. Charles Union-Rep. =
We would ask the st. Paul GLOBE, in all
seriousness, if it isn't just little premature
to commence President making at the pres
ent time? The GLOBE has pitched upon
Gov. Hendricks as the ':coming man, and
has already enlisted host of tributary pa
pers in his favor. The device, however, of
bringing him thus early into the field is not
good one for his ultimate success before
the nominating convention, as, if he is not
worn out by continual action, his name will
become stale, and a fresher horse be very
apt to take the lead. The people, too, get
tired of the heightened and constant itera-
ton of name in the newspapers, and earn
estly pray that the days of its possessor may
not be "long in the land.'' just give the
people ''rest' for year or two, Mr.. GLOBE.

there may be, and probably is. a legitimate

avowed object Of the late campaign was to
swell this majority to the largest numbers
possible by any means, and to wipe out of
existence forever, the hope, heart and organ
