gray hairs are plenty here-there are old
men, here who remember when the people
of this country stood alarmed at the ey-
istence of little national bank that had
only $350OO,OO0 capital, with few
branches here and there, and when they
supported Old Hickory Jackson in declar-
ing "by the eternal that banks should
cease to exist. And now, when we have two
thousand national banks with, not capital
of 100000, buta capital of nearly $780,
100000, and with capacity to multiply
and increase their power over the country
indefinitely, if the system be continued, we
are asked to believe that this rloney power
is the most intantilc, helpless weak thing to
be found on the face OF the earth! Laugh
ter. II won't do, gentlemen, A third OBJ
lection 10 the national bank system is that
It is a special privilege which they
enjoy and that no other institutions or
no individuals enjoy special privilege that
puts annually millions of dollars into the
pockets of their shareholders and takes
millions Of dollars out of the pockets of the
people. Let me explain this The nation
al bank circulation is in round numbers
SS920O0,00o. II is safe to say, | think,
that SS00,0000o0 of il is loaned at an
average rate of NOT less than seven per cent
interest per annum. That makes S2l 600.
600 that those banks receive
every year for the use of their
paper As circulating medium. Now, my
friends, observe how this reverses the order
Of things. The general rule is that man
pays interest upon what he owes, and he
can be compelled, il necessary, in the courts
Of justice to do so. But in the case of a
bank note this rule is reversed. The note
of the bank is an evidence of debt due.
II is not money, it is not capital; it is simply
a debt due 10y the bank but the bank is
authorized to lend that note and receive in.
tcrest upon it, So that the bank is author
lied TO receive interest on what il owes,
while everybody else is obliged to pay in
terest on what he owes. You see what a
privilege this is and this privilege enables
them TO draw from the pockets of the pco-
pie $2l 100000 every year--more than it
took to carry on the whole government
under the administration Of General
Jackson.

A CORRESPONDENT writes us that one can
not help feeling pride in the great success
of those OF our citizens who sent products
of their skill and enterprise to the Paris
exposition. The sum voted by congress TO
secure representation from this country
was ridiculously small, and was not availa-
bic soon enough by year at least, yet great
results were brought about. Our manufac-
turers are rapidly finding markets all over
the world. and the international exhibitions

have no doubt aidei greatly in making
them known 10 the world, Among the

THE Era-Illinoisan of late date has the
following about Judge Aliens action in the
case of Kimmel and Entler against Samuel
Cover and VI. A. Evans. In its effort to
SANDER the judge it conceals the whole
truth, and by false innuendoes and partial
statements seeks TO convey the impression
that Judge Aliens conduct in the suit was
not becoming to him as lawyer and a
man:
Judge W. ]. Allen was attorney for Messrs Kim.
mel & Entler In a case against Samuel Cover and VI.
A. Evans for debt, and obtained judgmen, against
them for $3.50 % on February 49, 1872 On this judg
ment Judge Allen collected, December2i, 1873, 500;
April ., 1874, 800; August {, 1874 s95; making in
| all 2j.-And now on the 3D. day Of May, 1873 be-
fore Judge Allen was nominated for congress, Mr..
| George e. Kimmel, Of Cape Grardeau, Mo- adj
ministratOr Of the partnership estate Of the above
Kimmel & Entler, brings suit against William j.
Allen for the recovery Of the money collected for
Tor Kimmel " Entler from Cover and Evans.
The record in this suit shows the follow
ing facts: The suit was brought to the
November term, 1871, On the 18th Of
February, 1872, verdict was rendered in
favor of plaintiffs for $s30.25. At the time
of entering the verdict a motion for new
trial was made by defendants which the
court took under advisement until the next
term Of the court. AT the next term of the
court, on the 2Sth of May, 1872, the court
overruled the motion for anew trial. Upon
the overruling of the motion for new
trial. it was the duty Of the clerk To
enter Judgment upon the verdict
but from inadvcrtcncc he failed TO do so
and, in point Of fact, no judgment has ever
been entered. The Judgment docket, book
b, page 80, shows that u judgment was rem
dcred on the 10th of February, 1872, for tn,
sum Of $s3O25; but as just stated no judg
ment was ever entered up. This judgmen
docket shows that Thomas W. Logan pal,
to William j. Allen, on account Of the SUP
posed judgment, on the Gath Of December
1878, the sum of $500; on the cd of Apr
t 1874, 800; and on the 4th of August, 1874
{ $25, making total of 1926, Exccuto
n docket shows that an execution was issue
on the 10th Of June, 1873, The execution
Z however, was improperly issued, for at tina
II time there was not nor is there even now
e. as already stated, any judgment upon whcI
DC an execution could properly issue. II furthe

appears from the record OF the deeds, that
on the LIST day of April 1872, just four days
after the motion tor new trial was over
ruled, and at the time the clerk should have
entered up the judgment, NJ A. Evans
mortgaged his entire property, he being the
only solvent defendant. Upon the whole
case, it may be observed that the only APP
parent negligence on the part of Judge
Allen, was the failure to serve ont an ex-
ccution within year from the time he sup
posed, and had a right 10 suppose, a judg-
ment had been entered, and yet II is quite
clear that the serving out of the execution
under the circumstances within the year
would have availed nothing. Indeed it was
unlawful 70 serve one out At all before
judgment was entered, 1t was clearly no
part of Aliens duty 10 watch the clerk and
see that he performed his duties properly in
entering up the orders Of the court. In
eases At law like that, the most careful at
torney never draws up, or sees 10 the draw
ing up Of judgments at law. 1t is other
ise as to DEGREES in equity. The whole
trouble. therefore, would seem 10 be an I'M
fortunate mistake Of the clerk, which was
never discovered, as l suppose, until very

DEAD oN TIE FIELD OF HONOR

From the Ncg York Tribune.
The terrible news from the infected dis
tricts comes t. rs with one glimpse of
cheertuncss and hopc-the conduct Of the
nobl. men, both white and black, who have
gone to nurse the sick. We want our read,
crs to stop just for one moment and look at
tins matter These nurses, who have gone
out Of the pure air Of their own homes ~
the pIaguc.strickcn towns, to handle and
tcndcrIy care for dead and dying men who
are utterly strangers to them, need higher
courage than any soldier marching into the
thick Of battle, They gain nothing, neither
pay nor glory. Their victories are not
watched by proud country for whose
honor they give their lives If they die, no
weeping nation will year by year hang
laurcls on their graves The Howard nurse
is only mentioned in the papers AZ
"onc Of twenty.fyc' arriving on such
date, or zone Of twenty who are dead.
His name nobody knows. II he falls, his
friends only learn Of il because he fails to
return. There Is no burst Of battle cry or
martial music to cheer his soul in his last
struggle with death in the future there is to
be no roll.cal Of victorious army, with
the proud answer to his name, Dead upon
the field Of honor lie gives his life for
some paguc-stricken wretch, probably Of
less value to the world than himself, in the
poisoned air Of a solitary chamber, where
there Is none but God to know. lis is bur
led hastily in nameless grave, with shud-
dcring and fear, and quicklime is thrown
upon his body. This sacrifice he makes
out Of pure love to God and humanity, and
this sacrifice is now being made, not by one
man, but by every one Of the hundreds Of
nurses sent out by the Howard association.
Every one Of them carries his life in his
hand as he goes,
These men, too be it remembered, are
conference.-the people whom we regarded
as our enemies not long ago, and whom we
are very apt still to regard as impractica-
bic, idle and quarrelsomc. 1t is worth our
while to consider this thing The ncwspa-
pcrs Lately have contained more than the
usual amount Of crime and nastiness.
Neither foreign politics nor our domestic
records have been calculated TO raise our
/ belief in the nobility Of human nature or to
suggest fresh watchwords of cheer to the
world. 1t is something to know that in
our own country, among the people of the
very state which we have believed given
over to corruption and fraud, u noble deed
| Is done with II modcsty and silence which
