Washington Capital.
IL takes a clergyman to advocate
and sustain monopolized interest, and
we are not, therefore, surprised to
learn that the Rev. DR.. Lyman
Abbott, who has been travelling in che
coal regions of Pennsylvania, comes
away with the report hat the mines

stances. "One looks in vain in the
Wyoming valley" he says, "for any
signs Of crushing poverty. The houses
Of the miners are generally neat and
comfortable cottages. They are sur
rounded by little plots of ground, and
these are either already in or coming
into a fair state Of cultivation. Some
Of the cottages are bare enough; the
common ahanty, without a sign of
taste, and sometimes without c%leanli-
ness; but others Of them are not only
neat, but attractive. Abbott thinks
that the miners, as a class, are law
abiding, industrious and sober, and
are not led by dcmagogues to any great
extent Work on half or quarter time
sometimes brings suffering, and he
gives the following story of how

with five in his family, was thrown

THE ELECTION IN TENNESSEE.
Hon. A.. S. Marks, the Democratic
nominee, has been elected governor by
a very large majority. This was a
foregone conclusion. The Democrats
made a gain of one congressman in the
First district, where the young and
gifted Robert L. Taylor is elected over
Hon. A. II. Pettibone, Republican.
This is a remarkable gain, as Ran
dolph, Republican, carried the district
in 1876 by a majority Of 1874 over his
Democratic opponent. In the Second
district KNOXVILLE L. c. IIouk,
Republican, is elected over A. G..
Watkins, 4" Independent Peoples
Man" In the Third district
G.. G. Dibbrell, Democrat, present in
cumbent, is elected over Xenophen

district Benton Mcmillan, Democratic
nominee, is elected over L. l.. Cola
day, Independent Democrat. In the
Fifth district John NJ. Bright, Demo-
crat and present incumbent, is doubt

WHITE FROST.


% SUNDAY uoRNIScs ocToRER 2orR.
Blue laughing eyes that closed in sleep
At setting of the sun,
What saw ye when the Lord Of day
His journey had beguni
Like music-bells your voices chime
Quick clap your baby hands,
Why ripples forth your laughter like
Soft waves on coral strands?
Then low the lisping accents fell,
And sweet as drops of hydromel.
Oh! such a sight as Ger the hills
The sunbeams gan TO peep
While still within the cedar tree
Our blue-birds were asleep,
For tyou must know, when stars were out
Aud skies were cold and bright,
The FrOst-Queen came with all her train
To dance away the night,
Our clear, young eyes are strong and keen,
Our souls are pure within,
They ne'er have shrank with hidden
shame,
Or looked on darker sin;
So saw we what to older eyes
The angels have denied,
We saw the Frost-Queen's train sweep by
In all its royal pride.
They held a regel wild and gay,
They danced about the lawn,
Unheeding how the hours few by
To herald in the dawn.
SO while the merry dance swept on,
With ouphe, and elf. and fay,
Up rose the broad and bright-cyed sun
And caught them at their play!
Thcn thick and fast his kisses fell
On lips ofruby hue,
Perhaps he thought them blossoms, filed
With drops ofhoney-deWl
But, with n rdsh ofwings, as when
The forest leaves are stirred,
Away the Fairies aew-a train
Of joyous, cleaning birds.
OF! of, the merry elan troop
In clouds went hying forth,
As tho a rain o jewelry
Had drifted from tae North!
Away they sped in elittering crowds
Like to a rush oflign,;
You might have thought them golden
clouds
Fast fading from the sight.
But-in their haste what diamonds fell
In showers an around!
Rich opals, pearls, and emerald sheen
Came tinkling to the ground,
Till every tree and shrub was clad
With waits rom fairie won;
See! even the grass and little weeds
Have gala jewels onl
s. s s. g 6 s.
Oh! eyes that arc joyous and s%inless,
That close at the set of the sun
You live so near to the Beautiful Land
Where Fentasy's rivers run
You hear the 5ugles of E%lf-land blow
You listen the ouphe's shrill horn;
Oh! fair was the pdseantry ye beheld
On that blessed October morn!
But / sat me down by the window
and pondered the ehildren's words;
And 1 saw only fends Of the Fever
Slain by the crystal swordsl
Isaw but the darts OF the Ice-King,
His j%ayclins CLINT and sheen,
His dagger points and his burnside
spealg,
And his eimeters sharp and keen;
And ten thousand forms Of the Evil
Lay stricken and dead between.
Then softly I cried in my gladness,
BE jubilant every one
For the merciiul day is breaking
The night Of despair is done!
Rejoice? on this blessed Sabbath,
The warfare Of woe has been crossed,
The "other side' Of the depths is gained
For the field has been won, and lost,
In the battle the legions o fFever
Lie crushed by the hosts Of the Frost.

Nashville American Butler has
been isastrously defeatedi in Massachu-
sets, as it was desirable he should be.
The result is advantageous in one re-
spect, at least. It has taught the
Butler wing Of Democracy that any
thing for success is not a substantial
thing to rely upon. 1t has taught the
old hide bound leadership that ignor-
ing the popular element is not the way
to hold a party together. A party
which has only the respectable ele-
ment-the~ so-called respectable-can-
not succeed. Parties are made up Of
al classes. and the general average i.
the thing to be sought for. The re-
suit will be, in Massachusetts,, tho
best for the Democracy in the lOne
run.

The Meaning OF Resumption.

The advocates of "absolute money" have
Of course clear right to argue and work for
any system of currency they prefer, and
would indeed be subject to reproach did they
NOT stand by their honest convictions. Were
this country to establish a new system
of currency the Nationals would
unquestionably have right to adyo-
cate their theory of absolute money.
But when they insist that notes is
sued by the United States Government long
since, shall never be paid they are advocating
gross injustice to every holder of those
notes, and unwittingly, doubtless, urging the
nation to an act of dishonesty. At the time
the greenbacks were issued they were issued
as notes and received by the public creditors
with the express understanding that they
should be paid in coin. A dollar greenback
bears upon its face this declaration: "The
United States will pay to bearer one dollar
Now at the time the notes were issued paper
was not recognized as money. A dol
lar by the United States statutes was defined
to be coin weighing 25 grains of gold or
2l2 grains of silver, 1t was this amount OF
gold or silver which the United States prom
ised to pay on demand. The Greenback
pretended to be nothing else than note.
The dollar greenback says TN its face: "This
NOTE is a legal tender for one donar' These
declarations are certainly explicit enough.
Whatever system OF currency we may here
after adopt we cannot honestly refuse to pay
these notes We have no ripht now to on 10
work and alter the contract. That would be
an er post facto law, directly forbidden by the
Constitution.
The understanding was that these notes
should be paid as soon as the United States
was able to pay them. No time was set for
their redemption, it is true. But this claim
would not be admitted in suit at law bs-
tween individuals. The defendant would be
compelled TO pay. The United States cannot
be sued, but that is no reason why it should
be dishonest and disregard those obligations
it insists its citizens shall fulfill. We are
able to pay the debt, and every consideration
OF public policy teaches US that the govern
ment should no longer pursue policy which
sets bad example andimpairs the public faith.
The Government certainly is not justified III
making distinction between its creditors.
If it is to pay its interest-bearing notes in
coin it should pay its Notwithstanding
notes in the same currency. 1t is now pay
ing one class of its creditors in money OF
steady value that is current all over the
world, that will buy as much in Paris or Lon
