CONVERSE in his speech at City Hall in
this place, a few evenings since, depicted
a most distressing state of the finances
the great scarcity of money and the GER
tain bankruptcy of the whole country un-
less thespecie resumption act was repeal
ed and an additional amount of green
backs were issued at the next. session of
congress; when at the same time, there is
but g or II of one per cent. on the dollar
difference between gold and paper money.
A slight difference of opinion exists be-
tween Mr.. Converse and the Cincinnati
Enquirer, in the condition of the finances.
The Enquirer, the organ of the Demo-
cratic party said on Sunday last, that
''money is in abundant supply and the
market easy at six and seven per cent.
but only moderate demand" Mr.. Con-
verse ought to know when he addresses
the people of the 9th district that he is
not talking to an impecunious lot of rag
mullins. When he makes such a speech as
he aid here, he ought to realize the fac
that the people are too intelligent to bt
humbugged by man who is incapable Of
properly appreciating the intelligence
and good sense of the people of Fayett,
county.

Hon. MILLS GARDNER made an unan-
swerable speech ON the finance, question
to large and appreeiatiYe audience, at
the Court House in. this town on Satur-
day afternoon last. He showed eonclu-
siVely that the passage of the silver bill
and the bill to prevent the contraction of
the greRnback currency brought about
resumption of specie payments in advance
of the time named in the resumption actof
1875, and that therefore the repeal of that
act was unnecessary to prevent the con-
traction of the currency and the
currency should be let alone.
We don't want a law now to en-
force resumption, because we have re-
sumption now. We don't want law to
stop contraction, of greenbacks, because
we have that law now; but what we want
is that Democrats and C urrency-tinkers
let the currency question alone. 1t is the
best condition of our financial system this
country ever had; and why not let it
rest2
Mr.. Gardner completely exploded Gen.
Morgan's theory of paying the expenses
of the war by assessing direct tax on
the people of the States, and paying war
expenses upon the principle of pay as you
go, without creating a national debt
When Mr.. Gardner concluded his reply
to this theory of Gen. Morgan's, there
was not much left Of the thesry, and less
of the old General.

THE pay of the sheriff's office seems 10
be generally oyerrated. 1t has been COM
monty estimated, from the best means of
information, that that office has been
worth for the past two years to the occu-
pant from $4,000 to $4,000 per year. These
are about the lowest figures placed on it.
Sheriff Smiths annual sworn statements
of the amount of his fees, etc., give the
total amount of his compensation for the
two years at little less than $4,000. By
careful management, however, Mr.. Smith
has managed to accumulate about $40 900
worth of real estate, besides paying living
expenses, campaign bills, etc., out of his
salary during the two years past; which
is doing pretty we'll.

Do the voters of Fayette county think
it will be good policy to re-elect to the i'm
portant office of Sheriff man who, dur
ing his present term has, displayed such
outrageous incompetence and recklessness
in the Discharge of the duties of the office
that his bondsmen became afraid and un-
willing to stand responsible for his Off
.eial acts ,and applied to the county commits
sioners to be released? And who, when
required to give new bond, had death
struggle to find, among all the Democracy
of the county, the requisite number OF
men to assume the risk and sign his bond
to make it good?

TIE Massachusetts Democratic party
were badly demOralized on Tuesday last.
They attempted to hold convention, at
Worcester to make nominations and their
intention was to keep the Ben. Butler por-
ton Of the party out of the hall, but the
Butterflies took possession of it and held
the fort and made their nominations, Ben.
Butler being their nominee for Governor.
They also nominated Butler State ticket.
The other division Of the Democracy had
to stand off and look on. They finally
called convention tomeet in Boston next
week. The Democracy in the old Bay
State ale pretty badly demoralized and
the best thing for the Anti-Butler wing of
the party to do is to go over and help the
Republicans.

COLUMBUS, Sept. 13, 1873.

A TELEGRAM from Portsmouth, O., to
the Cincinnati Gazette, dated September
10th, says that the banks of the Ohio and
Seioto rivers are full The Scioto bot
toms are flooded for miles, and the vast
fields of corn, nearly ready for harvest,
are buried beneath the waters. Hun
dreds of thousands of bushels will be de-
stroyed. Verify, it requires faith to cuI-
tivate these low lands, which are expect
ed to be flooded about one year in three.
Yet, if man is able to continue a term
of years, it pays him well, the crops be-
ing so abundant

WHILE the late election In Maine is
not as satisfactory to the Republicans as
we could wish, it is still more unsatisfac-
tory to the Democrats. The Republicans
have plurality of the popular vote for
Governor. In the Legislature the Re-
publicans have So, the Democrats % and
the Nationals 81. The National greenback
party has swallowed the Democratic
party, having elected two of the five Rep
resentatives in Congress; and this is what
troubles the Maine Democracy.

shall we Pay SOutherners for Their
Liberated SIayesI

Liberated slaves!
The answer to this question is, not if
the Republicans have the control in Con-
gress. Evidently the object of the Dem
ocratic party is to pay for these slaves, if
for no other purpose, to force an infiation
of the greenbaclls. Ifthe Southern policy
of paying for liberated slaves prevails,
there will be wave of greenbacks over
the land that will send all kinds of prop
erty up to fabulous prices, and as was the
case few years ago, greenbacks, instead
of being practically at par with gold, will
be worth perhaps 40 or 90 cents on the
dollar.

Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conse-
quenees that may ensue.- Now, who that under
stands this subject will pretend to deny that the
power of procreation is lost sooner by those
falling into improper habits than by the pru-
dent? Besides being deprived of the pleasure OF
healthy offsprings the most serious and destruct-
i've symptoms OF both body and mind arise. The

THE SANDY POINT REVOLT.


Commander Rogers, commanding the
United States ship Adams, writes to the
secretary of the navy from Sandy Point,
straits Of Magellan, giving the particu.
lars of the revolt of the garrison there.
The first murder committed seems to
have been that of the captain of the
company OF soldiers, numbering about
one hundred, who were regular artillery
troops. They mutiated the captain in a
most horrible manner, and then opened
fire with artillery upon the gov
ernor's house. The governor, on making
his appearance, was knocked in the head
and left insensibe. He, however, re-
covered after some time and made his
escape; his family also escaped almost
naked to the woods. The mutineers
then released the cOnviCts, and altogether
numbered nearly two hundred. armed
with rifles. The following day the mu-
tineers committed the most incredible
excesscs in the way of wantOn killing.
burning and sacking. Next day the
mutineers deserted the place, carrying
off all the public funds and much phi
vate property. They burned all the
public property and number of stores;
in fact, the best part of the town is in
ashes. The streets were strewn with the
dead bodies OF the killed. Most of the
killed were soldiers who had been shoot
ing each other indiscriminately. 1t is
estimated that at least fifty people
were killed, and many of the dead and
wounded were burned in the buildings
The hospital was burned with five
wounded men in it. Commander Rodg
ers says ii was the intention OF the mu
tineers to ca, ture the steamer Memphis
soon expected, but as her commander haC
previous notice of the revolt, he seizeC
the soldiers, convicts and captain of tn,
port, who rowed out to him suggesting ;
fine anchorage under the guns of tn,
fort; he then went to sea, and meetin:
the United States, steamer Adams, re
ported the condition of affairs. Com
mander Rodgers took the mutineers OF
board his vessel, and hastened to SANDY
, Point, where his presence was much aP
preciated by the Chilian authorities.
As to the cause Of the revolt there
seems to be no reliable information. 1t /:
reported and believed that the padre ol
priest of the colony has much TO do il
instigating it, he being an enemy OF thu
government. and he is now one of thu
prisoners confined on board the Chiliar
steamer MagelIaneze. In the destruction
of property not the slightest regard wa
paid 10 aEy nationality. A twelve
pounder shot was fired clean through tn
English consulate, and the vice consu
himself was pursued and fired at n nun
ber of times. He, however, escaped i
his own boat
