| WILL FRATER's "OTnER CLOTHES"
MIR. Fraier a few days since, was
away from home slicing logs, and not
wishing to sport broad cloth around
the engine at the saw mill, left the
suit which he wears to church, and
when he "goes to see his girl" in the
wardrobe at home. The family being
absent, Il sneak-thief entered the house,
and with other valuable articles car
ried off the entire suit. Will thinks
that profanity won't do the subject
liustice, and il he discovers the thief will
administer law and gospel mixed.
ABRACE OF ACCIDENTS occurred a
short distance above tOWn-LOuis Car
ter broke a wheel, and put in, or out,
| for repairs. DR.. John Alexander and
young lady with him in the buggy,
drove around the wrecked wagon, and
the world being very uneYen at that
place their buggy upset, and the occu-
pants were thrown out. Fortunately
no one was injured.
THE INJURIES of little Ella Johnson
were more severe than as reported, but
she is resting easy, and hopes are en-
tertained for her recovery. The ex-
treme warm weather makes the case a
critical one.
AS A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT AND RE.
GARD, we would write a few brief
words in remembrance ofour friend Eli
lis E. Kennon. When we lay wound
ed and suffering he brought US rare
fruits, and with pleasant smile and en-
couraging words, bid us be of good
laho 10 hrn1nhf
with it, and his generous heart was
ever ready to administer comfort to
the sad and weary. A few short weeks
before his death we met and he plan
ned for US journey TO the mountains
and now we trust that he was per-
nI,ted to ascend the "Delectable
Mountains" to walk in the gardens
and vineyards, to drink and wash at
the fountains, and to view the land OF
Beulah and the Heavenly City, where
he was shortly to enter, and inherit
Eternal Life. Prince Of good tettoacS!
Vale! and farewell!

SPEAKER RANDALL, at the Man.
haitian Club reception, Tuesday even
ing, July said !: @ esa
The manufacturing capacity of the
country was largely augmented by the
war, and the Government, as purchas'
er, WAS helper to that interest, and,
that being lost, the manufacturing
capacity was in excess, and our labor
ers-are idle. To add to our difficulties,
every description of inventive genius
hes been brought into play, to the ex-
clusIan OF the mechanical labor.
So? With this frank acknowledge
rnent on the part of the leader of the
Democratic party that the primary
cause of the "hard times'' is found in
the Democratic rebellion, what becomes
OF the charge that all our woes are:at-
tributabie to Republican class legisla-
ton, extravaganza, and fraud?

The issue of this paper is just like

ly, and to diminish the price of paper
and it consequently takes a larger and
a still increasing amount of the paper
to answer the ordinary commercial
transactions of the country; and they
who have property to sell raise a cry
for more paper because of the enhanced
price of their property, the paper be-
ing the medium by which the value
of the property is measured. The more
such paper is augmented the effect is
to increase the appetite which it feeds;
The more paper that is issued the more
is required to answer the business
transactions of the country until the
currency becomes utterly vicious. =
| hold that more bold and mischiev-
Gus project was never conceived, than
that the Government should have,
without limit, the power of issuing an
irredeemable paper circulation.
A more gigantic scheme for the pur-
pose of increasing the power of the
Government and enabling it to domi-
nate over the whole pecuninary con-
Germs of the country was never suggest
ed.
George H. Pendleton, Democrat, U. s. Sena-
tor-elect, Ohio, Jan. 80, 1862.
The wit of man has never discovered
a means by which paper currency can
be kept at par value, except by its
speedy, cheap, certain convertibility
into gold and silver. Unless
convertible they always have deprcia-
ted; they always will depreciate; they
ought to depreciate. You send these
notes into the world stamped with ir.
redeemability. You put on them the
mark of Cain, and, like Cain, they
will go forth to be vagabonds and fu-
gitiveS on the earth. 1t requires 60
prophet to tell what will be their histo-
ry. The currency will be expanded;
prices will be inflated; fixed values
will depreciate; incomes will be di-
minished; the savings of the poor will
vanish; the hoardings of the widow will
melt away; bonds, mortgages and
notes, everything of fixed value will
lose their value; the neceSsarieS of life
will rise; gold and silver will be driv-
en- out of the country. What then?
The day of reckoning must come. Con-
traction will follow. Private ruin and
bankrupcy, either with or without re-
pudiation, will inevitably follow. n
In arguing the Constitutional power
to issue legal tenders, Mr.. Pendleton
said: 81 find no grant of this power in
direct terms, or, as | think, by fair i'm
plication. 1t is not an accidental omis-
sion; it is not an omission through in
advertency; it was Intentionally left
out of the Constitution because it was
designed that the power should not re-
side in the federal government.

SECRETARY SHERMAN says that he
has not decided to announce his re-
sumption of specie payments in ad-
vance of the first of January next, the
time fixed by law. He says, however,
resumption may come before that time
by natural causes, or when the premi-
um of specie shall disappear. We are
now approaching that point. 1t is the
duty of the Government to employ all
legitimate means to produce such re.
suit. The coin balance in the Treas
ury is about two hundred millions and
steadily increasing. As there is no
idea the balance will fall below the
present figure, this, with the present
low premium on gold, forms the basis
of the general anticipation that re-
sumption will occur before the first of
January.

THE New Orleans correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette in Mondays
issue of that journal tells how the
Potter Com mittee has been sold by E.
l.. Weber. The Gazette editorially re-
marks that. Weber, it seems, has
been known in Louisiana as market
able commodity. What is-wOrse, when
bought he wouldn't stay sold. He
would accept a bride from one side and
then from the other on the same ques-
ton. He did not possess even horse
thief honor. His price for corroborat-
ing Jim Anderson was $1,000 cash.
He went to Washington to blackmail
Secretary Sherman. For eight thous-
and he would have gone back on his
seven thousand men and have sworn
Anderson out of his boots. But he
didn't find market on that side, so he
proceeded to sustain Anderson. The
story that he destroyed the alleged
Sherman letter is laughed at in New
Orleans where Weber is so well known.
If there had been such letter and
Weber had got hold Of it, he would
have held it firmly. AS a liar he said
too much. In fact, he proved the most
clumsy liar of the whole set.
1t is now clearly the duty of the
committee to trace that 81 900 to its
source. 5s..s-
