webster ON Paper Currency.

Greenback editors have garbled a quo
tation from Daniel Webster's works to
make flyer for the heads of their eGi-
torial columns. Here is something
that he once said that answers very well
for hard-money text, and it does not
need garblipg:
"Ofal the contrivances for cheating
the laboring classes ct mankind none has
been more eifectual than that which de-
ludes them wiiii paper money. 1t is
tho most effectual of inventions for fer
tilizing the rich mans field by the sweat
of the poor mans brow. Ordinary
tyranny and oppressive. excessive tax;l-
| tion bear lightly on the masses of the
community compared with fraudulent
currencies and the robberies committed,
by deprecated paper money. We have
suffered more from this cause tnan from
any other cause or calamity. 1t has
killed more men. pervided and courrup-
ted the choicest interests of our country
more. and DO he more Injustice han even
the arms and arfifics of our enemy"

LincOIn'SH Humanity.

Gen. Green Clay Smith, of Ken
tucky, while speaking a few days
ago of President Lincoln's gentle
and humane disposition, said !:
"While / was in Congress, during
four years, l had frequent inter
views with President Lincoln, and
never, during that time, did hear
him utter an unkind sentiment.
was told by Secretary Stanton that
at the first Cabinet meeting after
the surrender, the question as to
what should be done with the Con-
federate leaders was under discus
sion. Some of the Cabinet were for
hanging, some for imprisonment,
and so on. During the discussion
the President sat at the end of the
table with his legs twisted up, and
said not word. At last some one
appealed to him for his views. The
Presidents reply was, Gentlemen,
there has been blood enough spilled;
not another drop shall be shed if /
can help it, Said Mr.. Stanton,
This reply was like thunderbolt
thrown into the Cabinet, and not a
word of opposition was offered A
man who could use such language
as that at such q time could truly
subscribe himself with malice to-
ward none and charity for all, /"

The Printers.

Of all the callings and professions
of the South none displayed such
heroism, taken as whole, as the
printers. So great at times was the
pressure in the great dailies OF Mem
phis anG New Orleans that it seemed
as if tFey must suspend even the
little half sheet. But no; regularly
they came, through the most APP
palling trials. AS they fell by sick
ness or death, others stepped in and
took their places, until the number
was so reduced that few were left to
do the work. They then began to
do double duty-One man filling the
position of two, or perhaps three of
the craft who had fallen before the
ravages of the pestilence. So great
was the pressure that we could tell
from the general appearance of the
columns of the Avalanche and APP
peal, without even mention of the
fact, that one individual even had
recovered sufficiently to resume his
labOrs at the desk or in the press
room. But for the Iabors of these
brave, earnest, almost death-defying
labOrers, what would the outside
world have known If the ravages of
the fever during the long months of
August, September and October?
Not only did they labor in the COM
posing and press-r0om, but found
time, at times, to nurse sick friend,
brother, sister, father, mother, wife
or child. Such pluck, such indOmi-
table energy was witnessed in no
other occupation, as far as we have
noticed. God bless the brave, earn
est printers, the lights of the terri
BILE darkness that reigned for three
months under the dark wing of the
Overshadowing pestilence.

DzPHTHERIA.
Some Reasonable uggestiOns-The
SarrOn that Cause
the Disease.
sprIngiield RepubIlcan.

the Disease.
Springfield Republican.
Diphtheria is disease which
springs from the growth of a real
fungus on some of the mucous sur
faces of the system, more generally
of the throat. 1t may be spread by
contact of the mucous surfaces of a
disease with those of a healthy per-
son, as in kissing, and is to a limited
degree epidemic. From the local
parts affected it spreads to the whole
body, affecting the muscular and
nervous systems, vitiating the
lymph and nutrient fluids, and pro-
ducing paralysis. AS soon as the
bacterium orfungus appears in white
patches on the throat, it should no
more be neglected than bleeding
cash or a broken arm, and there is
almost as little need of a fatal term
ination of one incident as the other.
1t has been found by actual expert
ment, both in and out of the human
system, that this bacterium is killed
by several drugs, the safest and
most certain of which is chl0rie
water, diluted with the addition of
from two to four times the volume
of water. This wash is harmless,
even when swallowed, and Is pretty
certain to arrest the disease.
The great cyclOpRdia of Ziemes-
sen on the practice of medicine
gives the highest place TO this meth
cd of treatment. To keep the pa
tient well housed and warm, with
additional flannel clothing if neces-
sary, and to keep the system well
nOurished and the bowels open are
matters of nursing often neglected ;
but, with care in these respects, and
early application of the remedies
above suggested, there is no need of
the disease proceeding to fatal
termination, or even to the debili-
tating illness and painful cauteriza-
tions which go together in its
later stages. AS to the origin OF
diphtheria, the weight of testimony
is that it belongs to the class of filth
diseases, but further than that its
source is not clear. Families who
would be scandalized at the sugges-
ton of untidiness are attacked,
while others of filthy surroundings
escape. This simply shows that
our sense of cleanliness needs cult
walton, so that we may discriminate
between what is offensive to the
system and what is offensive to our
falsely educated tastes. The farm
er's wife, to whom the closed and
carefully-dusted parlor or the pre-
ternaturally scrubbed floor are the
essentials of neatness, may endure

How the Election was Condneses1
in Mississippi.

Gen. j. II. Chalmers, member of
Congress from the Sixth District of
Mississippi, who has been in Wash
ington a day or two, is suffering
from a severe attack of maiarial
fever which he contracted about
two months ago. His illness pre-
vented him from making a canvass
of his district, but the result proved
that this was not necessary. The
'colOred troops fought molly" and
sent him back to Congress by very
large majority. In conversation
with the Post yesterday, the Gene
raj was informed that certain Radi
cal organs had charged that the Re
publicans were afraid to run d cam
didate in his district. "Why, they
did run man against me-" he re-
piled. sin fact, they ran tWo-a
white man and cOlored man.
While I was sick they tried to work
up the colored vote against me, and
they brought out CASTILLO, one Of the
unsavory carpet baggers of Natchez.

Republican. CASTILLO carried only

to the polls and voted for me. There

any undue influence upon them"

ministration's change of policy.

A man who had struggled with a
malignant disease, approached that
crisis in its stage on which his life
seemed to depend. Sleep, uninter-
rupted sleep, might insure his r.
coVery. His anxious wife, scarcely
daring to breathe, was sitting by his
bed; her servants, exhausted by
constant watching, had lett her. 1t
was midnight; a door was left open
for air she heard, in the stiffness of
the night, window open below the
stairs, and, soon after, approaching
footsteps. A moment more a man
with his face disguised entered the
room. She instantly saw her hus-
bands danger, and anticipating the
design of the unwelcome intruder,
she pointed to. her husband, and
pressing her finger upon her lips to
implore silence, held cut to the
robber her purse and her keys. To
her great surprise, he took neither.
Whether he was terrified or charmed
by the courage of her affection can
not be known. He left the room
and without rObbing house sane
titled by such strength of affection
he departed.

Jordan Springs.

This pleasant little village is in
civil district No. 4, Montgomery
county, Tenn. Like many other
places, and some few persons have
seen, it has not always been esti-
mated at its true worth. Just now
it is rated a little below par. L wish,
in this article, to give few facts in
the history of and present status of
the place. and leave an impartial
public to decide, hoping to induce
a large development of the ma
terial interests here, and prompt to
a generous appreciation thereof.
First, then, there is spring here,
from which the place takes its name,
that is seldom surpassed for the
quality and quantity of its pure
waters, affording as it does, water
for all our citizens and their stock,
and a full supply for the noted
Walnut Mills, a half mile below.
There are also several other fine
springs within the limits of the
town. One of the oldest houses in
the county is here, having been
built IS years ago. The logs were
hauled from Flat Lick, in KY,
none of sufficient size for the pur-
pose being found at the time in this
section. The house is owned and
occupied by J. r. Smith, Esq.
Mr.. F. l.. Porter has recently
purchased good property here and
is doing dry goods and grocery
business. His increasing trade has
caused him to add some improve
ments to his store.
"Uncle Jimmy" Smith is doing a
good business I'm WoottOn's old
store, selling groceries and confec-
tiOnS.
Mr.. Wootton proposes adding
an additional room to his store.
which will be used by DIR. Newell
as an Office.
A. J. Wootton is the principal
property holder here. He owns
three improved lots and several
farms adjoining the town. He has
a fine residence, cOntaing five rooms,
fronting on Main street. In con-
nection with this building are all
necessary out buildings, a large
tobacco factory, blacksmith shop,
excellent orchard, and SO acres of
land. The land cost Mr.. Wootten,
a few years ago, $75 an acre. This
desirable location, home and farm,
can be purchased for $500 as Mr..
WOottOn desires to remove TO q
southern home for the benefit of
the health of his family. When
Mr.. Wootten meFchandIsed ut this
place he sold S25, 900 wort Of goods
a year.
We have two doctors, Newell
and Rodgers, each doing a good
practice.
Squire Rodgers, of Linton, Ky,
will soon move here.
The Baptist have a church near
here, also the Reformers and Meth
odists.
There is a splendid opening here
for a good iron and wood smith.
The house is ready to be occupied.
The great need of the town at this
time is graded school. An
Academy, presided over by an edu-
Gated man, would be worth more
to our people than anything else.
We too frequently make the educa-
ton of our children the last thing,
whereas it should be the first in the
formation of character. This is a
good location for doctor, school
teaeher, merchant or sr Ger. The

every one that does so becomes a
help or hindranee to the church
He facilitates or retards progress
he helps to make it better or makes
it worse, and it is amazing how
many join tine church for what it
will do for them rather than what
they can do for it; consequently
they remain comparatively mac
tive. They are hot or cold, Jealous
or Indifferent, active or indolent,
just as those around them may hap
pen TO be, and always estimate the
religious status of the church by
their own feelings. They are clogs,
dead-weigkts and actual hindrances
to the church's progress. Not I'M
frequently they are representative
the preacher must never pass
without stopping---other members
must cuddle, caress, and gives special
attention or they are hurt, and for
that reason they sometimes go from
one denomination to another, that
they may receive more attention
be noticed more. So far as the real
object of church organization is con-
cerned, they are weights, incum-
brance, nuisances. Much of the
time and labor of the pastor and
better class of members has to be
spent in keeping them quiet---sooth-
/ ing their fretfulness and meeting
their exactings."
This is the way DIR. McAnally de-
scribes them in his Life of Bishop
Marvin, book that ought to be in
the hands of all classes of people.
A Philadelphia lawyer could not
convict them of any positive crime.
Try the administration of dicipline
with them and they are slippery as
eels. Sometimes you can elbow
them out, and what a joy they leave
behind themi II reminds me OF
an incident that occurred just after
the war. During the war Randle,
a slave, had gone to the Yankees
and left his wife, Sluny, and nine
children, the oldest not much over
nine years old, at home. Shortly
after the surrender it was announced
one morning that Randle had stolen
away Sluny and the children the
previous night. "Happy radiance, u
was the only remark which this
information drew from their former
owner, Whenever a dead-head
quits the church l am sure to think
of Slany and the children.
By all fair means / believe in
trying to save men, but your efforts
I in this direction with such people is
generally like casting pearls before
swine. The most solemn Obliga-
tions having been repeatedly VIC
lated, all integrity of char cter van
ished, and nothing but the severe
judgments of God can arouse them
from their infamy.
Rut let no man despise the church
because he finds tares with the
wheat. Such condition of things
is inevitable in the present sur.
roundings. In due time this mat
ter will be attended to by angelic
messengers, and then the separation
will be complete and permanent.
Until then we can only do the best
we can to keep the church pure.

Southern Democrats are dealing

largely copy of Republican tricks
during the carpet-bag period-ought
to propose some means of prevent

Constitution. There is a law now
which directs the President to pros

voters at Federal elections, and this
believe he is faithfully executing;
but when he has done this he has
done all that a constitutional officer
