A ScarecrOW.

The Democrat is greatly exercised
over the cock-and-bull story told as to
the origin and passage by the legisla-
ture last winter of the law affecting
corporations having bonded indebted
ness. That paper pretends to think
that the Republican knows all about
the matter, and has been purposely
silent upon the subject, because some
of its party friends are involved, and
an exposure would hurt them. Our
nelghbor is entirely too fast. 1t we
have not taken up space in any refer
ence to the matter, it has been because
we considered it of no importance.
The law is perfectly just and harm
less one, and we have never for a mo-
meut supposed that there was any CHI
canery, or collision, or mystery con-
nectcd with it. We have believed
that Mr.. Finn knew all about the law
as he shonld have done, when it was
was introduced in the legislature, and
that seeing nothing Objectionable to it,
he made no objection. Furthermore,
We know that all the talk about three un-
known persons from Watertown having
logrolled with Jack Turner or any one
else to secretly frame the law and
secure its passage, was unmitigated
bosh. Nothing of the kind ever trans
PRED, and nobody knows this better
than Finn. The Democrat will find
that the dust which Finn is trying to
kick up is simply for political effect;
and that he will try and take advantage
of it to perpetuate the power of the
Union League at the spring election.
That is all that Mr.. Finn cares about
the law, and We are surprised that the
Democrat should not have sooner made
the discovery.

THE reDort of the Commissioner

THE report of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue says that during
the year five revenue officers have
been killed in the Sou,a, and thirteen
have been wounded As the general
disposition manifested by the people
oflarge sections of the South the Com
missioner says the officers of the
Government have been treated as if
they were the emissaries of foreign
and hostile nation sent to impose and
collect tribute. The Commissioner
feels compelled to say that it is not
only robbers and outlaws who resist
aud attack Federal officers, but that
those claiming to be among the best
citizens sometimes take part in re-
sistance by force, and are constantly
extending sympathy. This support
has even manifested itself among Jud-
ges in the State Courts. The killing
of revenue officers and deputy marsh
ais excites little attention and seldom
stirs State officers to action. The
murderers go free from arrest, and are
openly shielded by State authorities.
If the revenue officers, when attacked
while in the discharge of their duty.
defend themselves and actually kill
any of their armed assailants, whole
communities rise against the officers,
and the entire machinery of the
State Government is employed to pu-
nish the officers. This is certainly
quite equal to any of the newspaper re-
ports.and has the eff cial sanction which
cannot be so easily coughed down by
the Northern organs of the buldozers.

Resumption.

WASHINGTON, d. g., December Ia.
Secretary Sherman this afterooon
sent out circular to banks and Sub
Treasures relating to resumption. He
quotes Section 3 of the Resumption
act, az follows:
SEC. 3. \ x X Aud on and after
the lst day of January, Ammo Domini
1879, the Secretary of the Treasury
shall redeem in coin United States
legal-tender notes then outstanding, on
their presentation for redemption at
the Office of the Assistant Treasurer
of the United States in the City of
New York, in sums of not less than
$50. * x x Approved January II,
1875"
And says: Gas the effect of the
above section will be to remove any
practical difference in values of coins
and notes as a circulating medium
after the lst of January next, no dis
tinction between them will be made
in keeping, rendering, or settling ac-
counts of public officers Involving
transactions which occur subsequently
to that date. Matured coupons Of the
United States and checks issued by the
Treasurer of the United States for
interest or principal of the public debt,
by law payable in coin, will be paid by
the Assistant Treasurer of the United
States at New York, upon presentation,
in coin; or, if the claimant prefers,
such coupons and checks will be paid
by said Assistant Treasurer, or by any
other independent Treasury officer, in
United States notes. Such registered
interest payable by law in coin as is
paid on schedules at any other cities
than New York will also be paid the
claimant in coin, be check on the
Assistant Treasurer of the United
States at New York which check may
be cashed in United States notes if the
holder prefers; or, if claimant prefers
such interest may be paid to him d.

The People of Afghanistan.

The people of Atghanistan are not
given to trade nor to manufacturing
They leave to the Persians, the Arabs
and the English all such occupations
They live free, easy, unsettled life.
1t is most tru y pastoral country.
The inhabitants were divided into tribes
and subdivisions; some live in the val
legs and others on the plains, and others
guard the m untain passes and demand
toll from the trading caravans. In ap-
pearance they are savages, arming them
selves with any weapon, dressing in any
clothes, rowing from place to place.
The cities are usually found settled by
the side of some high mountain with a
vast and open plain stretching out be-
fore them. The houses are generally Of
mud, low, fat-roofed and plain. Cabul
is the city of most importance. Itrests
nearly at the foot of Bahia Peak, 5000
feet above the sea level. From here
one may look upon the high, deserted,
cold peaks of the Koosh range, while
southwark extends an open and fertile
plain. The Cabul river is picturesquely
crossed by three bridges, the one lead
ing westward to Kyber Pass being strict.
ly guarded. The houses of the city
are of sun-baked bricks, low and de-
void Of beauty There are mosques
and bazars. and citadel in the eastern
part contains the Governors palace.
The climate is severe in Winter, from
October to March, but in Summer is
delightful.-Boston transcript.

The New York Tribune is of the

superb inpudence, that the negroes
chad no backbone and they lost the
game;" that lit is idle to talk of freed

resistance to the political operations of
white men," that 1.-THE latter have in
teIligence, experience and the deter
mination not to be ruled by ignorant
negroes, whether the negroes outnum-
Der them or not - This is a cool a.
vowal says the Tribune, but it repre-
sents the solid Southern sentiment on
the subject with complete accuracy.

Democratic ticket or not vote at all.

not see any greater objection, or want
of propriety, in our favoring Keyes
than there is in the Sentin,eTs support
