THERE is nothing that disturbs the
equanimity OF the Republican leaders
SO much as the peace, good order, quiz
etness and increased prosperity in the
Southern States since the establishment
of Democratic rule GGzette."
II the "pestilence that wslketh in
darkness and the destruction that
wasteth at monday" in the South,
since ''the establishment of Democratic
rule" down there, is to be taken as an
evidence of the "peace and prosperity
attending Democratic rule" God
save use from any further scourge Of
"the establishment OF Democratic
rule." Yellow fever and democratic
rule" are more than any people Can
bear.

WHEN the question came, Shall we
have country? and shall we have
greenbacks with which to pay the
"boys In blue" for defending the life
of the nation? DR.. Updegraff was found
on the side of the "old Hag," with his
best energies, upholding its honor, and
the justness and integrity of national
currency, while ID. T. Lawson was con

flag, discrediting his nation, abusing
Its currency, and seeking the utter
overthrow OF all. Daniel, you won't

The First Dollar Greenback..-HOw it
Sprung Up In the Market.
THehry Uounty lMo.l Democrat.I

A few weeks ago this paper published
a notice that Mr.. R. T. Laverton, of
Holden, Missouri, had in his possession
the first dollar greenback issued by the
Government. That notice was published
far and wide in the newspapers. Mr..
George Gross, of Kansas City, read it,
and urged the owner to set price. He
said $25, and had the money showed
quickly into his hands. In few days
Mr.. Gross was offered $65 for his pur-
chase, but declined to sell. In four days
after making the sale Mr.. Laverton re-
ceiyed an offer of 800 for the bill from
St. Louis parties, which he rendered to
Mr.. Gross, who declined to sell. Mr..
Batchey, a boss bridge.builder, offered
$3.50 in gold for half interest in the
bill (which was now considered to be a
great bonanza), but this offer was also
refused. A wholesale liquor firm con-
cluded that it would be good thing and
cheap advertisement at $500, and
made this offer, but with the same lack
of success. Bidding upon the oldest dol
lar greenback then became general, and
reached 500, but Mr.. Gross still re-
tained the proprietorship.
r The most interesting and last-heard Of
offer was from Brick Pomeroy. He wan
ted to borrow the bill to display at hus-
tings during canvass for the National
Greenback party. He was promptly in
formed that if he would execute bond
in the sum 81, 900 with two good sureties
for the safe return of the bill, he could
] have the use of it for short campaign
