to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS $t60 81, 232
The available currency" October
1, 1865, says this report, was $500. 167,-
329, but the actual circulation only
$460.s44.232. This was ali paper
money, OF course, gold and silver not
being In circulation.
In the legal-tenders mentioned
above are included the temporary
one. two and three year notes. CON-
pound interest notes and certificates
OF indebtedness,-then used as cur
rency,-as well as greenbacks. The
actual currency, known as green
backs, In circulation on the 31st Of
October, 1865, was $42S, 160,56
The total paper currency in circu-
lation on the first day Of March, 1878,
accord ing to the report OF the Treas
urer, was $685.. 429, 1899. The gold and
silver in the country on the first day
OF April last, according to the official
estimate OF the Director of the Mint.
was 1924 $3.50, 1912. The amount OF
coin Is increasing every day, and the
amount OF available currency, includ-
ing greenbacks. national bank notes,
gold and silver, is now about $685.
100000, or only about five millions
less than the largest amount OF money
ever in the country at any one time.
This, then, does not show a contrac-
ton Of thousand millions Of dollars
by any means. On the contrary, IL
we taks into consideration the value
OF our present currency. as compared
with the currency OF 1S65-green-
backs now being practically at par
with gold,-we find the amount of
money is larger than at any previous
time in the history OF this govern
ment. This being true, 1t Is evident
that it is not more money that we
want, but policy that will put into
active circulation the money that we
have. How to do this is q question
that interests every person, whether
he be debtor or creditor, employer or
employee, laboring man or capitalist.
The money centers are glutted with
unemployed funds, and it must be
evident that something is causing
timidity among capitalists. Men will
not allow their money to lie idle il IL
can be profitably invested. 1t is GER
tainly not the policy of the govern
ment which is causing timidity, for
that policy has caused the credit OF
the government to grow stronger
every day.
Men Of Marshall county, let us ask
you, in all candor, is it not possible,
Is it not reasonable to believe that the
growth OF communism, the agitation
Of the inflationists, and the course
of the Democrats in Congress. are
alarming capitalists and retarding
confidence? Who that has money
would wish to invest 1t In manufac-
turing, commercial, or other interests
when communists are threatening to
arise and make distribution OF
property? when Nationals" are meet
ing in convention and demanding
that an irredeemable fiat money shall
take the place Of our present cur
rency, and National-communistic ed
itors, like Pomeroy, are calling on the
members ofthat party to arm them
selves and be ready TO demand the
scheme at the point OF the bayonet?

Hanged.

George Sherry. aged twenty-three,
and Jeremiah Connolly, aged twenty,
were executed In Chicago, Friday, for
the murder of Hugh s. McConville, in
January last. The following, from
the Inter Ocean, will give our readers
some idea OF the men and the crime
for which they died feIon's death:
They started out on the morning of the
10Th of January, ben. upon carouse.
They had in their pockets the money re-
ceived for several weeks of work in a pack
ing house, and they spent it lavishly for
liquor. During the day they drank con-
tinuously, and when night came they
were wildly inebriated, ready for anything
however desperate. Then began carni-
val Of lawlessness. They ran riot through
the streets, insulting women, assaulting
men.
SEEKING SOMEBODY TO KILL.
They "saw red" and must have blood. A
man named Donnegan was first attacked.
He fled and took refuge i'm butcher shop.
His pursuers were close upon him; they
follwed him into his retreat. Sherry took
panion, "Shall / hit himg" "Yes," re-
marked Connolly, kill him. But Don
negan escaped through the back door.
Connolly then armed himself with a
butcher knife, and the two rufiians went
forth into the street, hooting and bias
pheming. A German named Kopke came
within their reach. Sherry seized him
and Connolly Dealt him blow in the face.
But Kopke. too, disengaged himself, and
made his escape. Several women were
molested, b.. not injured At last they
met their victim. Hugh McConville was
escorting his niece. Rose McConyill-, to
her home. Sherry accosted the young
lady with a volley of filthy language,
struck her with the palm of his hand, and
tried TO embrace her. McConville pro-
tested, and was at once attacked. After a
short struggle one OF the wretches plunged
knife into his abdomen, while the other
kicked him brutally. He fell to the
ground, dying, and the nurdercrs turned
and fled ,llivcm adf g. srf 1ts.a.r.
McConville died at 3 o'clock on the
morning Of the 2lst, and about eight
hours later Sherry and McConnelly were
arrested. After the murder they had con-
tinued their carouse, and on the following
night, while poor McConyille lay in the

The National Credit.

During the thirteen years since the
close OF the war, the Republican par
ty has been continuously in power.
The financial legislation has been
prepared by Republican committees
and adopted by Republican majori-
ties; the revenues Of the country
have been collected and administered
by Republican officers; and the prin-
ciples which have controlled both
legislation and administration have
been defined and declared by Repub
lican conventions, and ratified by
Republican voters at the polls. These
principles have been,
1. The gradual payment OF the
debt, according to the terms OF the
contract or contracts.
2. A gradual refunding Of the debt
at lower rates of interest.
3. A gradual but certain return to
specie payments.
For these principles, their appllca-
ton and results. the Republican par
ty is responsible. That responsible
ty can not be denied or evaded.
If, now, there are any Republicans
who have been disturbed by the re-
cent clamor concerning the manage
ment OF the finarces, let them look
at the results of this policy, and see
for themselves whether they have
any occasion to regret their part in
its adoption and maintenance.
In October, 1865, when all the ex-
penses OF the war had been substan-
TALLY adjusted and recorded upon the
books OF the treasury department,
Secretary McCulloch made a state
ment of the public debt, then at it's
maximum. Here it Is with a compu-
tation Of the annual interest at the
rates then paid

The Chippewas, while practicing a
new dance last week, scared the peo-
pie Of Grantsburg, Wisconsin. almost
to death. they thinking that the In
dams were engaged in a war dance,
preparatory to raid and general
massacre of all the whites in that vi
cinity. When Colonel Forsyth ar
rived on the ground and began to
make inquiries as to the cause OF the
dance and informed the Indians what
the white men believed, they were
almost as badly scared as the settlers
had been, and protested that they
were not mad, did not want to fight,
and begged that they would not be
compelled to 60 on their reservation.

well-informed Washingtol

A well-informed Washington cor
respondent says that the secret OF
General Tom Ewing's opposition to
the bill making greenbacks receivea-
BILE for 4 per cent. bonds and for Gus
toms duties was a belief that it would
benefit the Republican party in the
fall elections. "He was afraid" says
the correspondent, shat the passage
of the bill would check the growth
of the National party, and this he
did not want to happen. He pre-
ferred, therefore, to prevent the pas
sage of the Senate bill in the House,
so that the Democrats could go into
the campaign and charge the Republi-
can party with not responding to the
so-called demand for the repeal Of
the resumption act"

Then and Now.

The inilationists or repudiationists
who, under the name of Nationals"
&C., are travelling over the country
making speeches, scattering circulars
and printed documents, trying to
convince the people that it is to their
interest to have all Of the greenbacks
and National bank notes called in and
burned up, and an irredeemable,
absolute" "fiat" currency issued in
their stead, have a great deal to say
about the contraction OF the currency,
and represent that it has been con-
tracted, since 1866, more than thou
sand millions Of dollars. We thought
that the Treasurer of the United
States, and the Director OF the Mint
probably knew as much about the
amount OF money as those follows.
We will not, however, pretend to say
that they know as much about the
theories OF finance. That would not
do at all. Nobody knows so much
about finance as they do. But then
we thought that we would just COM
pare the amount of money now In cir
culation with the amount In 1865. the
time that they say there was SO much
money; and we will use official fig
ures OF the treasury department.

The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1878-03-03

The telegraph has already informed anx-
ious thousands that his Majesty and suite, on
board the famous steamboat r. f. Lee. passed
Vicksburg last night, and that they will land
tomorrow at half-past o'clock.
This sets many minds at rest and awakens
pleasureable anticipations in every home in
the Crescent City, yet does not quite satisfy
n few busy-bodies, who saw large van con-
tanning, they don't know what, driven into
the courtyard of Carnival Palace one evening
last week, on which were large boxes labeled
in a. to them, unknown language
We really do not see why people should be
so very curious about what does not in any way
concern themselves, yet we know that several
persons tried to bribe one of the porters to
tell them what was in the boxes. Our re-
porter asked too, but, as a newspaper man,
he was in duty bound to do that-the public
look to him and those of his like for informa-
tion on all subjects. Nothing could be found
out, however; the porter said it was some
thing" which, no doubt it was, and there the
matter had to rest at the time We
have heard since that the boxes
we're the private property of Warwick,

THE GRAIN TRADE.

There were several merchants in attendance
ut the Mayors parlor yesterday to consider
the subject OF erecting grain elevators along
the river front, to meet the demands of our
greatly increased, and daily increasing grain
trade. The meeting was prompted by the re-
quest Of Mr. F. Del Bondio addressed TO the
Council few days ago to consider his prop
osition to erect an elevator opposite the the
Western steamboat landing.
The proposition was earnestly discussed, it
being opposed by some OF the gentlemen
present that to give the right to one or
more persons to locate an elevator at any
point on the lovee would be tantamount to the
establishment of monopoly in favor of one
or two business firms.
Mayor Pilsbury quoted all approximations
by saying that In granting any privileges Of
the kind referred to the council would take
special care not to give the control to any par
ticular individuals, and would arrange mat
tiers so that the general public would enjoy
the benefits Of the elevator or elevators
equally.

LEGISLATIVE ITEMS.

Yesterday was a field day in the House
that body remaining in continuous session
from eleven o'clock in the morning till nearly
eleven o'clock at night. -che cause of this
protracted 0ssion was the tilibustering on
the part of the Republicans over the bill in
trodueed by Mr.. VOORHEES,, looking to the re-
duction of the number Of members of the Gen
eral Assembly and making reapportionment
nof the Legislative representation.
The measure was brought before the House
by. the passage of q resolution making it q
privileged question: The Republicans fought
the measure, step by step, With great persis-
tence, availng themselves of every possible
bubble and dilatory motion. At one time
their aggression threatened to go beyond all
bounds. Gov. Warmoth moved, Speaker Bush
being in the chair, to declare the chair va
Gated. This motion was put and lost. Again
he moved, Mr. Lyons being in the chair, that
the Speaker of the House resume the chair.
This motion Mr.. Lyons declined to put say
ing. that the Speaker was in the House
and could resume the chair when he saw
fit. The Republicans when the Speaker re-
fused to entertain an appeal from his
decision adopted the ruse of not vot-
show of a quorum, but in this they
were defeated by the Speaker ordering the
Clerk to record all members present and not
voting. Many Of the Republicans then en-
deavored to hide themselves behind chairs
and desks during the call of the roll All
their tactics, however, failed. and the bill
passed its second reading and was ordered to
be engrossed and passed to its third reading,
In which position 1t now stands
