drovisions was annihilated. Not
only the disbanded soldiers, but
all the other artisans who had
been working to keep them
equipped and fed, came into the
labor market in competition
with the other labor of
the country. This cause alone
would have produced a fall in
prices had the currency been
left untouched. The catastrophe
was retarded by the railroad
building mania which culminat-
ed in 1873, but it came at last.
1t is quite evident, therefore,
that those who contend for ad-
ditional issues Of paper money
as an infallible remedy for the
present low prices OF land and
merchandise are prefoundly y mis-
taken. Unless with the green
backs they SO earnestly demand
they can bring back the same
distrust Of their value that pre-
vailed during the war and the
same disposition to get rid OF
them on any terms, the debtor
would not be likely to expert
enoe much relief. The only
way that we see to effect the de-
desired relief is for Congress j
to declare that hereafter in the
payment Of debts one dollar
shall count for two or more; but
for this kind Of sealing down we
doubt if the country is yet rea-

private mediums, that the forged
script was all received through
him, and that all the forgeries
were unmistakably in his hand
writing. Under these influences
and representations public senti-
ment, conCurred in by the Pros
ccuting Attorney, greatly pre-
ponderated against Mr.. Hoover,
and the opinion was largely en-
tertained that he would flee the
country to avoid a srial. The
report was industriously circu-
lated before the convening of
the Court that he was disposing
of his property and closing his
business with the view of escap-
ing from justice. We were one
Of the few who never believed
Jacob Hoover capable Of an in
famous crime and to ask for a
suspension of popular opinion
until the matter could be judi
cially investigated. Our faith
was based upon personal intima-
cy and the previous character Of
tho man who surrounded by his
kinsmen and neighbors from
early childhood to ripe manhood
had maintained a character free
from reproach or suspicion. 1t
seemed to us incredible that a
man of more than ordinary in
telligence, would hazard the
most priceless jewell of man
hood together with his liberty in
so reckless a venture to add to
accumulations already sufficient
for his wants, the eventual fail
ure of which was almost newt
able. The action Of the grand
jury has justified our faith. Upon
a full investigation Of the mat
ter the conclusion was that the
testimony against Mr.. Hoover
was not sufficient to justify his
being put upon trial for the crime
and the report was: "Not true
bill" Thus ends one of the
representative cases growing out
out of a depraved popular SEN
timent which puts the slanderer
and the slandered upon an equal
footing.

Wisconsin - total, 10. One
State, Florida, was equally di-
vided, having one Republican
and one Democratic member. AS
to California, both the old par
ties are so cat up and demoral
Izcd as to make it extremely
hazardous to say either of them
will have a majority of the
States votes in the next House.
The Republicans lose Oregon
and will lose South Carolina
and Florida. Conceeding then,
that the Republicans will carry
New York and Pennsylvania
and Ohio, the strong probabili-
ties are that the next House will
be divided as follows:
Democrats-19; Republicans
is; doubtful-California i,
which elects in September, 1879.
Should California then elect
three Republicans, then the
States would be exactly tied
should the election go into the
House, as it almost surely will
in the event Of a third party
candidate.

any one candidate clecting
him. When the last Congress
met, October l5th) the Demo
Gratis bad majority Of thirteen
in the House. The decision in
two contested seats increased
this to seventeen majority. 1t
is argued by Republicans, from
existing signs as they appear to
the Republican eye, that there
will be Democratic losses enough
in the Fall elections to give the
House to the Republicans by
small majority. They are claim
ing gains Of two in Pennsylva-
MIA, one in New Hampshire, one
in Massachusetts, one in Con
necticut, three in New York, two
IN Illinois, one in Colorado, and
one in South Carolina. Besides
these anticipated gains, Repub-
lican politicians are counting
that the Democrats sill lose to
the National or Independent
party some ten or a dozen men,
bers. On the other hand the
Democrats are as confident that
they will be able to hold their
own, and that the new party
will do most harm to the Re
publican candidates. As the
prospect now appears to unbias-
ed judges, it is doubtful that
either Republicans "r Democrats
will have clear majority IN the
next house, but highly probable
that the ten or twelve Nationals
or Independents, leaning on the
Workingmen for support, will
hold the balance of power in
that body, as to everything but
the election of President should
that duty fail before the people.

Hoover Exonerated.

We were not surprised, but
nevertheless greatly gratified at
the result of the investigation by
the grand inquest Of Pierce eoun-
ty Of the charges against Jacob
Hoover, in view of the powerful
influences, personal, political and
local, which were brought to bear
againt HIM. It will be remem-
bered that on investigation of
the affairs Of the Treasurer's Of
s 'icrce county, by the
jury, at the last term of
,.strict court for that county,
the books and accounts of that
Office were found to be in such
inextricable confusion that they
were turned over to the bond
men Of the Treasurer for settle
ment with the county; 1mmedi-
ately after which 1t was discov-
cred that a large defalcatioa had
occurred in redeeming forged
county script; the originals be-
ing altered to represent sums far
in excess of the amounts for
which they were issued; which
could not have occurred in in
Vulnerable eases but through
gross neglect on the part OF the
officer in charge, as the fraud
could have been instantly dis
covered l,y comparing the order
with the stub from which it was
cut; or g reasonable knowledge
Of public liabilities would have
made manifest some one of the
many forgeries in turning single
numbers into decimels and deci-
mels into hundreds, which were
never exposed until the officer
was impeached and turned out.
Then it became an imminent
necessity to him to find a scape-
goat to bear portion at least of
his dellnquencies. Mr.. Hoover
was the principal dealer in coun-
ty script and pecuniarily respon-
sible for all his liabilities; his
conviction would relieve the
Treasurer from crimlnality and
his bondsmen from liabilities to
the extent of the forgerics; he
had excited the enmity of rivals
by his success and incurred the
hostility of Tacoma by defeating
the project for the removal of.
the county seat to that place..
All Of these interests and influ-
ences combined against Hoover.
Without taking any legal pro-
ceedings, they sought to create
a public sentiment against him
which would largely influence if
it did not anticipate tho verdict
Of a jury. With the particularly
belonging to fact, the testimony
against Mr.. Hoover was given
through the public prints and
ndustriously circulated through

II. 1878
The High Prices Of the War.

eIect upon prices ol contracting
the currency and of resuming
specie payments, it seems to be
generally conceded that the
high prices which prevailed
during the war were exclusively
the result of the great volume
of paper money then IN circula-
ton. When the war ended, the
amount of greenbacks and bank
notes then outstanding was
alone nearly s1,0O0,O00, 900, and
ty adding to it that Of the 730
notes and other short term evi-
dence of the national indebted
ness, which circulated as money,
brings the currency of the coun-
try in 1865 up to about 81, ,722.
100000. Since that time, by
the retirement of greenb backs and
the funding Of the unfunded OBJ
legations O. the government, the
currency has been reduced to
only s6S5, 100000 Of greenbacks
and bank notes combined, and 1t
is to this reduction and to moth
ing else, that the recent fall IN
prices and the consequent aggra-
vation of the burdens Of debtors
are attributed.
Undoubtedly an increase in
the volume of money in circula-
ton in a country tends to raise
Drices as its diminution tends to
depress it. This, however, is a
secondary and not a direct re-
suit. 1t is because an increase
in the quantity of money, as In
that of any other valuable COM
modify, tends to lower its ex-
cbangeablo value, and 1hnS -
require more Of it to purchase
other commodities that imitation
produces high prices and con-
traction low prices. If the ex-
changeable value ofmoney could
be maintained at a uniform level
prices also would remain unaf-
fected. And if by any other
cause than initiation money were
to be deprecated, prices would
rise, ard if, without contraction,
it's value could be enhanced,
prices would Immediately fall.
For example, if the opinion be-
came prevalent that all our
greenbacks and bank notes were
going to be repudiated at the
end Of 3 years and thereafter be
worthless, such a desire to get
rid of them and to acquire mer-
chandise in their stead, would
be engendered, that prices would
go up enormously.
Now, during the war, our cir
culating medium became depre-
ciated not only by it's increased
volume, but also by wide
Iy felt distrust of it's ultimate
value. The final result Of our
struggle with the Confedraey
was IN doubt almost to the very
last, and there We're milli ons in
the North as we'll as at the
South who believed our success
to be impossible. This ofcoprsc
created an uneasy feeling in re-
gard to the value of Government
paper, and an eagerness to part
with it for other property which
sent prices up to the sky. On
the other hand, SO many men
were withdrawn from labor to
recruit the army, and so many
Of those that were left at home
were kept at work manufacturing
arms, ammunition, clothing and
other war supplies, that there
was no surplus production of ar

INDIGNATION MEETING.

On Saturday. the seventh instant. many citi-
zens of the fourth ward. parish of st. Charles,
held an indignation meeting and drafted reso-
lutions calling upon the members of the school
board to take immediate steps towards investi-
eating the causes which led to the removal of
Mrs. Pendergrast. teacher of the white public
school of Boutte Station, and the installation of
another teacher in her stead.
The meeting was composed OF a great num-
Der OF parents Of the children and was the con-
sequence of the following occurrences: Mrs.
Pendergrast had been for some time keeping
private white shool in Boutte, and afterwards
when the white public school was formed, she
was selected to take charge Of it. Lately she was
removed and another teacher appointed in her
place. The citizens had always considered
Mrs. Pendergrast as q very efficient and care
full teacher, and her removal was inquired into.
The upshot of the investigation tended to show
that some sharp practice had been resorted to,
through the Vaccinations Of member of the
school committee. who had been influenced in
the choice of a new teacher by his friendship
for certain gentleman. railroad official who
favored the nomination of the new teacher
The meeting drafted resolutions, which will
be published in few days, calling upon the
school committee to re-instate the former
teacher, and denouncing the conduct of the
school committeeman, who had shown so much
favoritism to the prejudice of the public will.
Conforming to the demands Of the resolution,
the school committee met and did full justice to
the parents of the children attending the school
by reinstating the former teacher.
