RESUMPTION.

Ifsilyer is renonetized resumption
will be practically accomplished.
There is not a man 10 the country
but would prefer holding the green>
backs to exchanging for silver, and
there win be no need of resumption,
except in name, or in other words
the complete reconciliation, because
it will place the government in q
position to resume without redeem
ing the greenback currency. 1t il
now @ foregone conclusion that the
reconciliation act will pass, the
only fear is that the coinage will be
go limited and restricted that the
country will be deprived Of the
greatest benefits that will accrue
from reconciliation.

| WAsHINGToN, Dec. 81, 1877.
There is reason TO believe that
the radical republicans, who oppose
the administration. have perfected
plan which will force Hayes out OF
| the republican party within sixty
days after congress reconvenes. A
prominent radical who was one Of lhe
most Influential members of The re.
publican party during the Grant
regime, is authority for the above
statement. In conversation to-day,
he said:
Mr.. Hayes has gone to far. If
you will remember, when Mr.. Grant
first became president he had some
such ideas sa Mr.. Hayes seems to
have. He thought he copld run the
party, but inside Of six months we
convinced him that the party was
more powerful than himself. When
Hayes started off on the same track,
we said it would take abou. three
months to cure him of his folly; so
we put up with bis ingra,ltude, and
have given him every opportunity to
prove to his own satisfaction that
he must obey the party if he Is to
have any power. But he has proved
less tractable than Grant. He is
not man Of anything like as strong
will as Grant had, but he seems to
be completely infatuated with his
own inlallibiity, aud that is The
worst sort of man for the party
to deal with. Besides, he is watched
constantly. Evarts and Schurz
tell him he ia all right, and all the
while are moulding him like putty,
aud using him TO advance thoir own
political ends.
We'll, general, what do your people
propose 10 do about it, queried your
correspondent?
We propose to drive him out OF
The party.
How are you going TO work to do
that?
Well, I am not just OF libertysto
tell you that.
Are you quite sure you can do it?
Yes, indeed; we have no doubt
about it.
Has not Mr.. Hayes too much |
strength with the people?
The general Qaughing)-Well, |
suppose he has sort Of sentimental
strength in the great cities, but yon
see politics are not managed by |
sentiment.
But is not there q division among |
your lcaders2
Nothing to speak OF.
Will Blaine and Conkling work
together?
Yes, there is a perfect under
standing between them, and they are
working together to dethrone Hayes.
Is therc any truth in the report
that banquet is to be given them
after congress reassembles?
Where did you hear that?
Never mind; is it true?
Well don't know that / am at
liberty to say yes, but l will not say
no.
Then l am light in my statement?
You are not far wrong. {
Tell me, general, how you are
going to work to read Hayes out OF
the party?
AS / said before. / am not at
liberty to give you details; but the
task is not 30 difficult as you i'm
agine.
1 suppose you will fight bis
nominations?
That will depend. Those that we
do not like we will either reject or
hang up in committees. if we are
not euro of votes enoHgh to reject
them. but we will do something
more effective than merely to antag-
onize bis nominations.

THE PRICE OF CoTTON.-A New York letter of
Thursday says at is stated to-day by our dry
goods meh that cotton goods arc cheaper than
when the raw staple was selling at seven cents
pound. and the opinion of these dealers is that
cotton will fall to still lower point, for, they
argue why should manufactured goods be selling
at 80 vast a disproportion 20 the raw material :?
For cotton to maintain itself mt current Quota
tions goods must advanc. and if they do not
advance then cotton itself must fall. This GER
tanly appears sound reasoning. But the bulls
have the best of the market to-day. They were
encouraged carly by thirty y-second advance
in arrivals at Liverpool and on the strength of
this and covering Of shorts they were able to
mark prices up 6 to poin,s. II is not lost sight
Of thatthe supply of good working cottons is daily
growing less, AMI Liverpool is not unlikely to
act on this later on"

ness 81 school claim for 187G-77, }. Total, ID
mills. II must be remembered that the last levy
was reduced to 2 mills for County purposes
and mill for past indebtedness, which was not
sufficient for either purpose, and consequently
left the county more in debt at the end of the
fiscal year of 1876 than it was before II is as
serted that the present levy will lift the county
out of debt, and hereafter q tax of only "a mills
for all county purposes will be required.
