On the 18th inst. the following was
one of our foreign dispatches:

On the 18th inst. the following was
one Of our foreign dispatches:
"The bakers of Constantinople have
discontinued the sale of bread, because
of the high price of wheat and the de-
probation of currency. The Sultan
thereupon RENTED the grain tax, and
he has appointed commission to de-
wise means for retiring the paper cur
rency."
This is the result of fat money in
Turkey. 1t is the natural and newt
able result of the use of fiat money at
all. No nation, no people under
heaven will ever adopt a scheme of
fiat money without similar result if
followed up to the end. 1t was the
result that followed the Continental
money of our fathers and in every in
stance has been the result in the
worlds history unless halt was CALI
ed and redemption in coin effected.
Turkey might, if the fiat money doc.
trine be true, print tickets declaring
this is loaf of bread, and SO get out
of its difficulty with the same propri-
ETY. that it could print dollars ofpaper.
A real dollar has just as certainly real
positive value as has a loaf of bread.
A paper promise to pay dollar can
be made and used as circulating me-
dunn and its value will be Just in
proportion to the ability of the prom
User to fulfill his promise, sooner or
later. So printed ticket can be
made and circulated promising to re-
deem it with loaf of bread, and It
will be good or worthless Just as the
ability of the promiser may be, to re-
deem the promise.

Cen. Weaver Put into q Close Cor.
ner and Buttoned up.
From the Bloomfield Republican 18th

A STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC.
] am informed that Gen. Weaver.
in a speech at Floris, recently, said:
II understand some persons are tell
ing that since my nomination l have
said that was as good a republican
as l ever was, except ON the financial
question. Now, l want to say when
you hear any man cay that you can
write it down in the back part of your
bible that that is lie."
The above raises an issue between
Gen. Weaver and myself.
/ went into Gen. Viewers Office af-
ter his nomination to congratulate
him on his nomination and intending
to vote for him as a greenbacker.
During the conversation I informed
him that many republicans who per-
haps would otherwise vote for him
found fault with the way he abused
the republican party. He told me he
did not intend to do 30, that he held
both parties equally responsible for
the financial condition of the country
and that he was just as good a repub-
lican as he ever has been, excepting
on the question of finances.
/ afterward met him on the street,
when he said "the republicans say If
/ should 90 to Congress would vote
with the Democracy" and remarked,
''you know me well enough to know
that would not vote with Ben Hill
and those fellows and for all the reb-
Ell claims that have been introduced"
I answered byl saying, II think I
know you well enough for that Gen
eral, or would not be thinking Of
voting for you" J. M. DUFFIELD.

collar bone. Lynch fell unconscious.
When he recovered consciousness, he
found himself lying In . lane out
side the premises. The assassin
thinking Lynch dead seized Ratchet
and put the children who wero wit
nessee, out of the way. He assaulted
Clemie and buried q Ratchet Ia her
skull, also crushed the skulls of three
other children and then set fire to
the house. The distracted father
saw tho burning house TALL down on
the bndies of his eight children. The
bodies were afterward exhumed and
an inquest held, when the hstchet
wounds were discovered upon the
skulls of the children. 1t is thought
Lynch will recover. A young man
named Boatware, with whom Lynch
had had difficulty, is suspected of
the crime.

DEsTHtfcTlvED DAM DISASTER,

MAYS LANDING, N. j., Sept. IT,
The dam above Woods cotton mile,
on Egg Harbor river race, burst last
night, causing great damage to prop
erty. When the dam gave way the
whole body of water seemed to burst
forth ina single huge column and the
town vac submerged in q few min
utes, Bridges, lumber and coal piles,
were borne away by the flood. Tho
villagers were aroused by the crash
ing in of windows aud doors, the rush
OF the current of muddy water car
rying lumber, sticks, coal and stones
through the houses. A scene OF the
widest excitement followed. Sever
al persons are reported lost, and it ia
said two bodies, one OF Q woman, the
other of a child, have been washed
up on the river bank, three miles be-
low the town. Great numbers fed
from their houses and escaped
through the rushing waters to high
grounds. Many Of these were in
their night clothes, few taking time
to even catch up their clothing. The
loss to coal and lumber men is esti-
mated At $4,000. This does not in
clude the great damage which results
from the destruction OF furniture and
household effects.

The Hon. E. B. Martindale, of the
Indianapolis Journal, made a very
strong speech on Monday night at
Richmond, Ind. Mr.. Martindale
thus summarized the history of the
two great parties for the last fifteen
years:
The republicans said the blighted
curse of American slavery should not
be extended to free territories. The
democrats said it should. The repub-
licans said the voice of the people
should be respected in the selection of
Abraham Lincoln, and that his cleo
ton furnished no pretext for secession.
The democrats said 1t did. The re-
publicans said there was power given
In the Constitution to maintain the
Union. The democrats said there
was no such power given. The re-
publicans said under this general
power States should be coerced. The
democrats said they should not. The
republicans said the notes of the gov
eminent, the ''greenbacks," should be
issued to carry on the war. The DEM
ocrats said they should not. The re-
publicans said the slaves should be
cOnfiscated and enlisted in the Union
army. The democrats said they
should not. The republicans said the
slaves should be emancipated. The
democrats said they should not. The
republicans said the war was not a
failure. The democrats said it was.
The republicans said the right of suf-
frage should be conferred upon the
colOred men who risked their lives to
maintain the Union. The democrats
said it should not. The republicans
and demanded the passage
of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fif-
tenth amendments. The democrats
resisted their passage and passed res
olutions multiplying them, years after
their adoption. On all these distinct
national issues the parties were clear
ly divided and warning for fifteen
years. They embrace the
principal issues which divided
the parties for fifteen years. Now, / |
ask you tonight, on how many of
these were the republicans in the
wrong? On how many of them We're
the democrats in the right? / do not
propose to fight these issues over
again, and could find no one to Join
ssue II did. ! refer to them for an
,sner purpose. The democratic party
ve1e as sure they were right upon
' a one or these distinctive issues

hat they are wrong now az tbet tno,,
were wrong then. While il 49,
twenty years the country has hea.s
affiicted with fire and famine. VIII
pestilence and contagion, vet the COW
has expended more in life
and treasure during this time to keen
the democratic party from destroying
the Union than it has lost from ali |
other causes combined.

The report Of the Comptroller ofthe

SO, shows, in tabulated form, that in
eleven years. from 1866 to 1876, both
inclusive, the national banks paid in
taxes 4l83, 469, 7S7. 66. About one-half
of this, $93, 223 ,7sS, was paid in taxes
demanded by the States in which the
banks are respectively located; the
other half or portion was paid in tax
es imposed by the Federal Govern
ment. Greenbacks have never paid
a single cent in taxes either to the
Government or the States. Should

$4s which we noticed, for going into
Kansas for supposed horse-thief,
when, as we are informed, no requi-
elton had been obtained, and so it
would have been impossible to bring
the supposed horse. thief back had
there been any such parsonage, or
had he been found.
We will not now extend this mat
ter Of the bills further, hut a query
may arise in the minds Of some how
a democratic Board of Supervisors
allowed such claims, We suggest
this query in no sense as impugning
the integrity of the Board. In re-.
gard to certain facts which we pre-
sumo appeared in testimony before
the grand jury, we have this to say !:
Sheriff Stewart entered into a con-
tract with certain parties to arrest va
grants in this city, paying these par
ties from seventy-five cents to dol
lar head.s These Migrants amount
ed in the past four or five months 10
a great many. Sheriff Stewart caus-
ed these ira mps to be put in Jail over
night and then had them arraigned
before magistrate, fined and re.
committed, and that in most all these
cases they were re-committed fol-
from three to five days; that in near.
ly all the cases the Migrants were
turned loose before staying one day
In Jail, and yet Stewart instructed
the jailor, or his clerk, to set down
the full time shown by the mittimus
and for this full time Stewart render.
ed his sworn bill and the came wal
allowed by the Board of Supervisors
and paid.
The facts in this matter as we hear
them and as we have no doubt they
appeared in testimony before the
grand jury, point directly to case Of
perjury should they be proven, and
yet democratic grand jury finds 9
bill for extortion which is only pun.
ishable by fine and imprisonment,
A query arises naturally enough il
this is the way the great democratic
reform party reforms things. Con.
spicuously We notice too that some
ardent democratic greenbackers fig.
ure here. Is this the way they have
of bringing on the millennium of re-
form?
Our people desire to know some
thing about this matter and we have
given them something gathered from
the best sources we have, and ",
would not for moment give then
to the public did we not fully be
]ieve they we're incontrovertibl,
facts. Still il should be borne il
mind that the accused has had NO op
portunity of defense in court. W,
have heard, however, of no contra
diction of the statements we hav
made above.
Thus far we have no knowledge o
any action taken by Judge Knapp il
this case. Il lisa query of some i'm
portance that may arise in the mind
Of many people why his Honor doe
not take some steps in the case SO tina
Sheriff Stewart may not he Sheri
while under an indictment.
