In spite of the Latin Union and the arbi-
trary manner In which it regulates mintage
and seeks to keep the value OF silver coin,
gold seems to be gradually supplanting silver
i IN the commercial transactions Of France.
Three years ago the Bank of France had
S22s, 900 900 of gold and 5115OO0,0OO OF silver.
Last May it held S2oo,ooo,0o0 Of gold and
S230,0o9000 OF silver, showing a practical
withdrawal from circulation of S115,o00,0Oo
French silver coin in three years, in spite Of
The fact that In that time the French govern
ment has coined no silver at all.

The seEeaHsters," are at work In the sea-
board States, it seems. Five Of their victims
arrived in Washington last Saturday, from
North Carolina, pennilesa, as a matter OF
course, and were furnished with railroad
transportation to the West. Some of the
Western papers are beginning to have a
proper appreciation Of the exodus mania
among the Southern negroes. They now
seem to have had their eyes opened to
tho evil effects of O general influx of
negroes into their country, and are even re-
sorting to threats to avert 1t. Hear the Chi
cago Times on this subject:
Ifthis sort Of thing is to 90 on-and all the
Indications are that there will be a great deal
Of it after the crops in the Southern States
are gathered-it need not surprise the colored
brethren and their malignant advisers II some
Denis Kearney arises, with ample support, to
proclaim, not that the blacks must go, but
that they shall not come into the Western
States. The proportions that the negro mi
grafton is likely to assume may make their
visitation curse beside which grasshoppers
and the Chinese will sink into utter insignifi-
canoe. There Is no portion of the West that
needs al addition Of tens OF thousands of ne
grOes totts population, and none in which they
can live to which such an addition would
not be an intolerable calamity. The drain Of
pCpuihLlol IOM LIE LhSGtlH DuSiLttS, till Is
pecially from New England, to the West is SO
large that there must be some inconvenience
in those regions from the depletion of their
population. II the blacks move from their
Southern homes at all, they should be di-
reeted to the Northern seabOard States, where
work may be found for them ii the places
left vacant by the annual Westward move

In Fall River, Mass, the striking cotton

The Missouri Republican thus 1llustratns
what Is meant by shrinkage of values The
unindebted farmer is quite as rich now, with
farm valued at $500, as he was ten years
ago. when his farm was valued at
$4,000 but the debtor farmer, who
owned farm valued at $4,000, mort
gagged for $250o, is to-day not worth cent.
Not that his farm has shrunk in real value
till 1t cannot pay the debt, but that the debt
has expanded In value till 1t absorbs the farm.
The property has not lost half it's worth, but
money has been doubled In it's purchasing

strange phenomenon we call shrinkage Of
values"

On Monday morning al ) O'Clock Mr.. d.
N. Ream, of the Cutpcper Times. died from
wounds received in difficulty on the day
OF election. Up to II O'Clock Sunday sam
cnine hopes of his recovery were entertain
ed. but shortly after that hour it became
evident that the patieut was growing worse.
! His physicians advised Mr.. Reanl OF his
condition. The Episcopal pastor was sent
for, and Mr. Rcam continued to converse
freely with him until 4 short time previous
TO his death.
An inquest is being held and witnesses
being examined. a verdict has not yet
been rendered. 4 preliminary examination
OF the case against Jameson was held few
DAYS ago, and he was sent on to the grand
Jury bail bein. refused By the magistrate.
.Iamicson is confined in the jail at AleXan-
dria.
Since the occurrence the defence have
discovered testimony which, they claim,
will throw considerable doubt on Tue qucs-
ton OF the Shooting, at least as to Jameson
firing the fatal shot. Owing to the excited
state Of the public mind it was almost inn
possible at the first to get at tie exact
truth. Another examination will doubt
| less be held at an early day, when the tcsti-
mony of both sides will be presented.
Mr.. Phil. Jones is conyaleScng, and will

HON. THOMAS EWING NOMINATED By T
DEMOCRATS.


DEMOCRATS.
CoLUMBU,, June 4.-The Democratic
State Contention to-day nominated Hon.
Thomas Ewing, of Fairfield, for Governor;
a. V. Rice, OF Putnam. for Lieutenant
Governor; Anthony Howelis, of Stark,
Treasurer; w. j. Gilmore, OF Prcble.
Judge OF the Supreme Court, and S. Pill
lars, Of Allen. Atsorney-General.
The platform adopted demands fair cleo
tions without interference OF military
power; says that the laws enacted by Con-
gress, which, under pretence OF regulating
congressional elections, interfere with the
election OF State officers and overthrow the
laws OF States governing the choices OF such
officers, are unconstitutional, and ought TO
be repealed. 1t demands change in the
Federal jury laws so that iuries cannot be
packed and controlled by The Government
Tor despotic and partisan purposes, as here
tofore; charges that the action OF the Presi-
dent and the Republican minority in Con.
gress in refusing to allow supplies to be
voted unless the majority would con-
sent to the use OF troops at the
polls and the maintenance OF upcon-
stitutiona and unjust laws, has shown
a spirit OF faction and devotion to
party success instead OF to the welfare
OF the country. and deserves the condemna-
ton OF the whole American people. 1t
asserts that President Hayes, by interpos-
ing vetocs to defeat constitutional and we'll
considered legislation, has disregarded the
intentions OF the trainers OF the ConStltu-
ton and the wishes and welfare Of the
people. The financial plank of the platform
reaffims the principles heretofore advocated
by the party in Ohio.
An additional resolution, requesting the
Democratic members Of Congress not to
vote for the army appropriation bill unit
provision shall be made to keep the army
from influencing or intimidatine people al
the polls, was submitted, but was defeated
by heavy vote.
