The late Elections from a
Democratic stand point.


-
A correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun says OF the late elections: During
this entire Congressional campaign
scarcely Il word has been spoken from
the stamp by the Democrat leaders Ia
favor vi tie time -hOu0red financial
principles OF their party. OF all tic
Democratic Senators HayaTd, VI Della
ware, Whyte, OF Maryilud, and Eaton,
OF Connecticut, are the Only Ones who
have given forth no uncertain sounds
on the question of honest money.
Even Senator Herman, of New York,
has dallied with the subject, as il
afraid to commit himself. Now that
the ~greenback furore has proved itself
to be such a will-o'-the-wisp Demo-
cratic Presidential candidates la em-
bryo and seekers after the suffrage OF
the people generally may 10 longer be
afraid 10 advocate that which is right
and demOunce that which Is wrong.
There never was II more prodigious
care than this greenback one, and the
shrewdest politicians of both parties
confess that they have been much dis
appointed TO find how comparatively
trihing II hold it really had upon the
people. Only three weeks ago one Of
most experienced and sagacious of the
political writers Of New York came
here, and after surveying the situation
predicted that the hard money men in
the next House would scarcely mum
Der one-third of that body. The green
bacd campaign was conducted on the
Chinese plan, with great beating of
tOm-tOms, and the result is similar TO
that Of Il Chinese campaign. In Re
publican circles to-day the feeling rs to
the next Presidential campaign is one
of enthusiasm, which contrast, strongly
with the dependency which has here
tofOre been exhibited. The cry that
Grant and honest money are sure to
win is re-echoed with much confidence
and among those who talk this way are
some Of the most bitter opponents in
his own parry that General Grant had
during his administration. The solid

Those Internal Bankg,

"Oh, yes! The banks are a curse to
everybody" says the average fool. But
the Chattanooga relief committee view
it in a different light it seems. Here is
what they say about It:
whereas, the First National Bank of
Chattanooga, the Discount and Deposit
Bunk, and the Mechanics aud Traders
sank have extended many courtesies
ana kindnesses to the relief committee
during the late epidemic, including
among others the collection without
compensation of the many drafts in
various parts of the country for dona-
lions of our friends, and the cashing at
once without delay and without dis
counts, of drafts for considerable sums
Of money thus placing the money at
the immediate command OF the commit
tce. md taking care without charge OF
ynluablcs Of deceased persons lett in
charge of this committee.
Bfslred, that the thanks OF the relief
committed are heretx rendered to said
banks. and the secretary directed to
notify the officers OF the banks of this
.ctiod.

A Few 0Crds from the Horse.

TIE 1umbridgc Wells society fer

which we make an extract. If they
could only speak for themselves
would not the horse and the dunkey
say:
Don't beat our sore sides so hard
and SO often, and we shall be stronger
and better servants to you. You
know how oppression only makes you
set up your back. but you will do
anything for a kind master.
Don't ride and drive us about un-
til we are ready to drop, and our
wind is almost broken, AMI we are
reeking with heat aud rough usage.
Pray let us have a little more wa
ter when we stand, weary and thirs-
ty, with our poor dry tongues, unable
to ask for it. You have felt the suf-
fering of thirst.
And for PHYS sake" the horse
would say, '1oosen this t~orturing
bearing-rein; we toss and shake our
heads, or we try to keep them still,
and nothing gives a moments ease.
You, master, would suffer severely if
your head were held in such a posi-

much better without it."

ndhOIders.

A great cry has been raised against
the holder of bonds. They have been
denounced by every epithet that ma.
Lightly can coin. During the war
our bonds were offered for sale and
they brought all that they then APP
peared to be worth. They had to he
sold or the rebellion was a success.
To the bond we are indebted as much
as the g~reenback. The fact is, how
ever, we are indebted to neither; We
are indebted to the soldiers. But
every man that took Il gleenba3k at
less than gold committed the same
crime and no other, as he who bought
the bonds ut less than par il gold,
These bonds have changed hands
thousands Of times. They have paid
for in gold again and again. They
have been bought at prices far above
par, they have been laid away by
loving husbands for wives, by toiling
fathers for children, and the mar
who seeks to repudiate them now, or
to pay them IN fiat rags, is uuspeaka-
bly, carel or dishonest. If the Gov
eminent has made a bad bargain il
must live up to it. A dishonest Gov
ernment exists only among dishonest
people. When our money is below
par, we feel below plr. We = not
bring prosperity by cheapening mon
ey, we cannot add to our prosperity
simply by adding to the volume of a
worthless currency. If the prosperity
of a country depends upon the volume
of its currency, and if anything is
money that people can be made to
think is money, then the successful
counterfeiter is a public bonefactor.
The caunterfeiter increases the VOL
ume of currency, he stimulates bust.

SORE TEATs IN Cows.-When the
teats Of a COW are sore in any way,
(haying blisters or cracks in them,)
it is well to wash The teatS clean be-
fore milking, and have a vessel Of
water in reach, and often wet them
while milking. This softenS the skin.
After milking apply butter aud salt
mixed, of about equal portions in
bulk. The salt eleanses the sores,
and the butter keeps the skin soft.
In a few days all are well. Never
wet the teats with milk while milking.

Summing up The Result.

A Special to Cincinnati Enquirer,
Democratic, says; The interest in
he recent election is fast diving out.
The c~alculators are now busy figuring
up the political majority in the next
House. Leaving California out Of
the calculation, the Republican Con.
gTesslOnal Committee now claim that
the Republicans have elected 1873
members, tho Democrats lfj, and the
Nationals 10. The Democratic Com
mlttee ueuounce this estimate as er-
rOnrous, hut their sArewdrst can on
y get additional comfort from il by
claiming that two-thirds OF the Ma
tionals elect will affiliate with the
Democrats. This is Il conservative
estimate probably, but teaches the
lesson that, after all, the votes Of the
Nationals may become necessary to
enable the Democrats TO organize the
House, and, moreover, that the
Grecnback strength may he necessa-
~ to preserve a Democratic majoii-

Ii is well known that he Democrats,
Of the South especially, have claim d
for the past year to be better Green
hackers than the Nationals themselves
But the Nationals looked upon them
with suspicion from the fact that two
years ago the Democracy adopted an
honest money platform, and this year
they adopt the soft money idea. But
as soon as the result of last weeks
election was known, the Democracy
''about face" and are now ready to
claim anything as everything. The
next morning after the election the
Nashville american contained an edito-
rial in favor of honest money, when
for the passed five months it has been
advocating the fiat money doctrine,
The Nashville Banner "a Bourbon sheet
takes the american to task about it, and
here is what it says:
con the financial question, at least,
the american has come out in its true
colors at last, 1t says:
The elections clearly indicate the re-
turn of The country to financial reason .
There is 10 doubt about the meaning
of the result, and any attempt Of the
Democratic party to stand upon Ohio
ideas in the future will be simple sui
eide. A sound, stable, convertible
currency is what the people of the
country are determined to have.
As the Republican papers put it,
''honest money" is what our cotempo-
rary is after. 1t scouts and sneers at
the ''Ohio idea," apparently forgetting
that the Tennessee Democratic plat
form went even further than the Ohio
platform in advocacy of this "Ohio
idea" The american has simply gone
.squarely back Oh the Democratic plat
form Of the State, after once stoutly
endorsing it, and that is the long and
short Of the matter. Listen to our
hard-money contemporary:
The next election will be, then, a
contest in which the communistic ele-
ment, the imitation idea, the fiat money
