WASHINGTON, Oct. Is, 1879.


Confederate shot guns have made a
solid South and the Confederate Dem
ocratic Congress, as developed at the
extra session of Congress, has made a
solid North" All praise to the Hon.
Secretary of the Treasury, who by his
firm determination to carry out the
policy of the Republican party in spite
OF Confederate Democratic opposition,
ibid resume specie payments last Janu-
AIRY aud has maintained the same. The
result of the late election shows that
resumption has come to stay, and that
the people are perfectly satisfied with
the present financial situation of the
country as carried out by Secretary
Sherman.
The Republican party may we'll be
proud of it's financial policy. Who de-
sires to return to the old system of
State Banks for our current circulation
when it was necessary for every bust
ness man to take a counterfeit detectOr
not only to enable HIM to detect the
counterfeit money but also to know
the value of his State Bank notes at
the commercial centers The people
have not forgotten the large amounts
lost by bill holders in consequence Of
the failure of State Banks, but not a
dollar has been lost 10y any bill-holder
of IL National Bank that has failed.
No one at the West desiring to visit
the East has got to pay a discount on
his home currency under the National
Banking system as was the case when
the circulation was issued under State
authority. The National Banks are q
guard and check upon each other, as
each bank is managed and controlled by
its own board of directors, which makes
them safer than any one United States
Bank could be with Congress as it's
board of directors, subject to its con
slant political changes. We now have
the best currency ever known in this
country if not the best in the world.
The people have spoken through the
late elections, let it alone.
AS another instance of the defiant
spiritof the South give the following
extract from the Okozo?a0 Southern
States,
1--WE hate your Union, and will con-
tinue to hate it, until the
right of secession is recognized.
Until cuffy is caught by the
nap Of the neck and seat of the
trousers and pitched headlong out Of
politics. Until Jefferson Davis can
step into the Senate Chamber of the
United States and help dictate laws,
that will undo all that your party in
the high hey-day Of its deviltry, has
done.
Hon. VIM. NJ Evarts, Secretsry Of
State, has lately expressed his opinion
of the present condition of the South
ern political situation in such q way
that it should be repeated in every
loyal paper in the country.
1.-The South went into the rebellion
and lost every thing but honor. She
went into the extra session of Congress
and lost all that she saved from the
rebellion
The Rochester Democrat IN. Y. says:
There are certain truths which do
not require the eloquence of prominent
orators to emphasize. Every intelli-
gent Republican in his daily converse
ton with has neighbors may communi-
cate them. We state a few:
Republicanism means honest money
and National good faith. This is prov
ed 10y Republican legislation ordaining
resumption, and is illustrated in the
confidence and prosperity that have at
tended the return to specie payments.
Republicanism means the integrity
Of tie constitutional guarantees OF
freedom, proposed by Republican Con-
crosses, ratified by Republican Legls-
latures. and enforced by Republican
Administrations
Democracy means reputation of the
national obligations, disregard Of the
constitutional amendments, dishonor
to the name of the republic, crushed
ballot boxes and a reign OF terror over
one-third Of the Union.
Republicanism means honor, peace,
