ageCrtained positively Whether Nix.
CARPENTER was for, or against tie or
ganization which in the past has con.
ierred honor upon him; recognizing
him as one qualified to speak III behalf
of the organizations, and the question,
1t Is stated, Was plainly put to him,
resulting in an affirmative reply, where
upon he made two addresses, we think
in Milwaukee, Such lukewarmness is
not commemorate, at least in one who
aspires to the position Of Senator at
the hands Of republican legislature.
18th. Mr.. CARPENTER unequivo-
cally stated during the tendency Of
the election count that Louisiana ought
to be counted for TLLDEN, and fur
Their, stated that he believed TILDEN
had been honestly elected. Instead Of
demanding that al investigation should
be had in all the states where Tiers
had been alleged frauds, he declared
his belief that Louisiana tie most
fraudulent of the coteric should give
its vote for TILDEN, and to cap The
climax, the Honorable ex- Senator ac-
cepts retainer from TILpEN, an act
which cannot be justified upon the
claims Of professional custom or cour-
tesy. In view Of the facts stated, it
seems that to give the honorable posi-
ton Of Senator to Mr.. CARPENTER
would be unjust, and as unbecoming
in the Legislature to bestou as in Mr..
CARPENTER to accept.
Hon. L. W. KEYEs is, probably,
the coming man. His claim for the
position is just one. He has been a
power in the state, and will make his
influence felt in the national legislature
to the detrimcnt Of that organization
which once endeavored to throttle the
government, and which is waiting only
for an opportunity to repeat its trea
s0n:ble acts.

nr SUDDEN DEATH.-Our town was
startled on Sunday morning last by the
announcement that Mrs. Ellen Gatrell'
wife of our old and esteemed fellow cit
izen Mr.. Charles Gatrell, had died sud-
denly during the night Of heart disease.
Mrs. Gatrell on Saturday night up until
about 10 o'clock, the hour at which SIZE
retired, appeared to be enjoying unusual
good health, in fact she appeared very
lively. Between twelve and one O'clock
she had occasion to get up for some
purpose, after which she again retired,
About 2 o'clock, or short time after
on Sunday morning, Mr.. Gatrell was
awakened by her heavy breathing, aud
calling to her several times, and recelv-
ing no answer, hurriedly got out OF bed
and lighted the lamp, and called to MIR.
Darlington, who lives in the house with
him, but before he could come to bis
assistance, Mrs. Gatrell was dead.
Mrs. Ga,rell was very much beloved
by all who knew her, and much sympa-
thy to Mr.. Gatrell aud his bereayed fam
ilv. Her remains were inferred in Elm
wood Cemetery on Monday.

~ 1t gives us pleasure TO note
the tact that at some of the primary
msetings-we wish we could say at all
of them-lately held in this and adjoin-
ing counties to appoint delegates to the
nominating conventions, more pains
than usual were taken to secure really
representative selection by allowing ev-
cry voter at said meetings fair oppor-
tunity to indicate his individual choice.
This is step in the right direction
which will, we hope, lead TO the adop-
ton in this region at least, of the pri-
mary election system as it exists in Nir-
ginia, Maryland, and other States: so
that there will then be less opportunity
for the underhand manipulations OF To-
Cal wire-workers in fixing up" delega-
lions beforehand TO suit the wishes of
aspiran,s in whose interests they may
be employed to work.
The people are heartily tired of being
10 leading strings. They are disguised
with stocked conventions followed by
the cuckoo cry Of ''vote for the nomi-
nee," uttered in menacing tones by self
constituted whippers in and would be
masters.

A MERE IDEA.

1t is fatal policy that prompts men
10 adhere to an idea which if persisted
in brings disaster and ruin to the many,
while it evidently must build up the
few.
1t must be clear to the mind of every
person who is not swayed by selfinter-
est, that the illegal Tender Act" of
1862, which is published on the back Of
every greenback or national bank note
issued, provides and authorizes that
said note shall be received in payment
of all debts, both public and private,
"eacepi interest on the public dot and
import dues" Yet the boudholders
combined and so shaped congressional
legislation as to have this plain law
changed so far as it applied to the pay
ment of the National debt, and many
men of both parties, whose private for
tunes were made to shrink away before
said unjust legislation like a snow-bank
before midsummer sun, give in their
hearty adherance to the imaginary idea
that nothing could be money but gold.
Money is any medium of exchange-be
it gold, silver, paper, iron or copper
that the people may agree upon, and
when the legislative bodies, to whom
the people delegate the power of max
irg laws, fix specified values to either,
the people as mass acquiesce, as is the
case now since Congress passed the bill
making the paper money receivable in
payment of import dues, and which
should he made to pay off the National
debt.
Silver was as good as gold until Con-
gress demonetized it for the benefit of
Shylocks, who soon manufactured pub
lie sentiment to depreciate it, and now
that the law has restored its commercial
value, it must be received equal with
gold. Does not this fact prove that the
law or agreement of the people fixes
what money shall be?

How the People can be Relieved.

Instead of this country being burden
cd with idlers and Mortified by crimes,
which are the inevitable outgrowth of
idleness, it ought TO and would be the
land of industry, contentment and hap
piness, if it was not governed by men
seized with madness for selfaggrandize-
ment and mammoth individual fortunes.
The government should issue its pa
per dollars and pay off its paper bonds
as they become due; this would have
two beneficial effects: first, it would re-
lleve the people from paying tax to
the government to pay interest with /;
secondly, it would force money out into
circulation, which would necessarily en-
ploy labor-labor being the natural pro-
ductive wealth of people, the people
would become employed, coutented,
prosperous and happy. The govern
ment should not be allowed to issue an
other bond, for it is through this safe
and convenient investment in U. 5.
bonds that draws the money from bust
ness channels, which necessarily produ-
ces idlers.
Pay off the bonds and cheaper inter
est-that would increase business! Why
is the English merchants vessels in
every sea, and United States none? Be
cause English money can be had for 8
per cent, while the American money
holders want from to 10 per cent, Is
it not plain why the American bottoms
are not atloat?
