Silver Demonstration.

Hon. John M. Bright, of Tennessee, who
was member Of the Congress which pass
ed the demonstration act, so called-of
1873, in his recent speech in the Honse, af-
ter quoting from Benron's "Thirty Years
View to prove that there was no power
under the Constitution to enact such law,
says: 81 announce, then, that the demo
netization of the silver dollar was breach
of the Constitution that it was destructive
of the rights of the States that it was an
| invasion of the rights of the people that it
was sitting down on one of the elements Of
legal tender for the solution of contracts in
the United States. I, sir, stand here and
propose to meet the question precisely as it
is. | say, sir, that the decentralization of
the silver dollar was fraud apon the peo-
pie Of the United States by depriving them
of enc of their Constitutional coins that
it was fraud on the General and State
Governments by looping off one of their
financial arms; that it was fraud on the
legislation of the country by cutting off
legislative consideration that it was
fraud on the President Of the United States
from whom the fraud was concealed by the
artful phraseology of the law, as shown by
his Cowdry letter that it was a fraud on
the mining resources of the country by
depreciating the value. of our vast silver
mines; that it was fraud on posterity by
an attempt to double the value of the pub
lie debt, which goes to them by inherit
ance. .....s.. .-
happened to be member of Congress
at the time of the passage of that bill. Its
passage is not susceptible of vindication,
notwithstanding the puerile apologies in
its behalf. 1t was passed by fraud in the
House, never having been printed in ad-
vance, being substitute for the printed |
bill never having been read at the Clerks
Office, the reading having been dispensed
with by an impression that the bill made
NO material alteration in the coinage law;
it was passed without discussion, debate
being cut off by operation of the previous
question. 1t was passed to my certain in
formation under such circumstances that
the fraud escaped the attention of some of
the most watehful as well as the abtest
statesmen in Congress at the time. 1t
was passed near the closing days of the ses-
sion, when in the hustle and pfecipitate
rush of business it was most favorable for
the concealment of fraud. It was passed
without previous discussion or agitation by
The people, and without having been voted
upon by the people. Aye, sir, it was
fraud that "smells to heaven" It was
fraud that will stink in the nose of posteri-
ty, and for which some persons must give
account IN the day af retribution, and God
grant that no guilty man may escape"

markable in this, but there arc carvings on

YELLOW FEVER SUMMARY.
A Partial List of the Prominent
Dead.

The yellow fever made its first
appearance this year about July II,
without taking into consideration
a few cases here and in Brooklyn in
the early part of the month among
the sailors on board vessels coming
from Matanzas, Key West and Ha-
yana, where there is always more or
less fever prevalent. A few eases
were reported also on board the Uni
ted States man-of-war Vermont, in
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which
were traced, however, to the conta-
gion from the cargo of the bark
Juanita Clara, of Havana. The first
outbreak of the fever as an epidemic,
however, was i'm New Orleans July
IL, and ii spread rapidly in all direc-
tions, especially in Louisiana, Ten
nessee and Mississippi. The incl
dents as they occurred at each place
where the fever was greatest, are re-
ported below:

Chopin, the President of the Board
Of Health. reported TO the marine
hospital at Washington the preva-
lence of yellow fever in epidemic
form. Between July ~ and that
date there had been thirty-six cases,
of which eighteen resulted fatally.
DIR. Chopin attributed its origin to
the purser and engineer of the
steamship Emily b. Souder, who
had died in the city May 20. From
the time of its first appearance the
disease spread rapidly. On August

years of age. Sixteen dead people

RaiERoAD-Now that the excite
mcnt of political CO NEST is over and
we will have rest for considerable
time let us devote our attention to the
railroad. AT the last session Of our
County Court an order was made,
authorizing the holding ofan election
in Cass District on the 9th of Novem-
Der to determine by vote whether
Cass District would take stock TO the
amount of $4,000 in the Pittsburgh
Southern road. We believe that all
the local subscriptions necessary to
complete this road have been taken
except in Cass District and the vote
will forever decide the matter. Let
meetings be held at every school house
in the District and let the question
be discussed and its merits shown to
any who may not be in favor of it,
and it certainly will carry. 1t is use
less to argue its benefits here as we
have devoted columns to that in the
past. Its advantages are we'll I'M

President Thompson is expected

Prof. White and the Senior Glass
have made two geological trips and
contemplate number more in the
near future. On Saturday they took
in tho lowest carboniferous limestone
which appears, 100 feet thick. three
miles above the mouth of Sandy, on
Cheat. One of the class Is making
his mark as an equestrian and will
doubtless distinguish himself in that
direction. A number of fine fossil
specimens were procured and much
valuable information gained by the
class. Such practical applications OF
the University studies cannot help
but fix their principles firmly in the
mind.
The subjects OF the orations and es-

Result i'm yIonongnIin.

As our readers are aware, the
counting Of the vote of this county
gave Hagans and Cox the same num-
Der of votes, and as Mr.. Hare had
more than either of them he was
elected. The next point to determine
was whether Mr.. Hagans or Mr.. Cox
was the lucky man. At the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Hagans the vote was
counted again and resulted in the
finding of several errors in the count.
The result of this second count is to
give Mr.. Hagans a majority of four
votes and he is now counted in.

THE New DAM.-From some gen.
tlemen who have recently visited
Hoard's Rock we learn that work on
the dam Is being pushed forward
and II Is probable that the work will
be completed this Fall. Though
when Uncle Sam is the contractor
such enterprises generally require
several years, and thousands upon
thousands of dollars to complete
them. We are informed that por-
ton of the dam laid under the super
vision of the previous superintend-
ent had to be torn out and begun
anew upon solid foundation, 1t hav-
ing been put upon the sand. This is
certainly very discreditable To the
engineer who did 1t and merits some
thing more than mere censure. AT
present all navigation is stopped and
the work at this stage Of progress is
great injury to shippers in this part
of the country. 1t is certainly the
earnest desire of all our citizens that
this work be completed without fur
ther delay. If 1t Is not, it will de-
volve upon our citizens to demand
that some one he put in charge of it,
who viii push it through without de-

SHOOTING AFFRAY AT GRAFTON
On Tuesday the Sth inst an ARRAY oc-
Cured at Grafton which resulted in
the shooting of negro named VIM.
Sims by John F. Clayton railroad
engineer. The difficulty occurred about
some money that Sims owed Clayton.
Words had been passed by the parties
several times but not much attention
was paid it until the shooting occurr-
ed. The bullet lodged in Sims

The following article clipped from
the Wheeling Standard gives some
news concerning the Pittsburgh
Southern Railroad:
To-day's Pittsburg Dispatch says
that negotiations are pending between
the Directors of the Pittsburgh South
ern Railroad and those of the Wa, b.
ington and Waynesburg Railroad to
extend the latter to Morgantown, W.
Va, and consolidate both lines. 1t is
considered that $40, 900 will be neces-
sary to straighten the curves on the
Washington and Waynesburg Rail
road. The road is bonded to the ex
tent of $4,000. The Pittsburgh
Southern Railroad people propose to
offer twenty-five per cent, of the par
value of the paid up stock, $4,000,
which would be $4,000, and give
transportation bonds for it. and as
sumo the bonded Indebtedness, $120,-
600, and then shove the road through
to Morgantown. If the Washington
and Waynesburg stockholders accept
the proposition before November LIST
the Morgontown extension will be
built from Waynesburg as soon as
possible. The people on the Carmi-
ehael's route offer $4,000 per mile to
have the road go their way, and iftbc
Washington and Waynesburg people
do not agree by the time stated, the
bid of the Carmichaers people will be
accepted.

have been make to have cornet play
ed in the NJ. E. Sabbath School in
company with the organ. We learn
that the Presbyterian congregation is
making arrangements for the same
thing. This is certainly a step that
brings Morgantown to the front, and
it would scarcely have been suspected
that staid old Morgantown would do
such thing. The Methodist Sunday
shool meets in the morning and as
the weather has become pleasant all
the old scholars should at once re-
sumo attendance and take all their
