We had expected to pass over the o. &

officials placed at the disposal Of the AZ.
sociaiion a special train Of four palace
coaches, differed with as genial crew Of
railroad men az we might wish to meet,
with one Of the officials passing over the
road with us. When fairly under way the
patriotism of Bro. OSBORN, of the Ere
mont Messenger, was aroused, which re-
suited in n collection being taken up to
purchase flags to decorate the train with.
Fourteen dollars was the result, aud a dis.
patch was sent ahead to have the Gags at

the train was decorated from one end 10
the other and went through in flying col
ors.
Reaching Viucenncs at 2 o'clock, a
bountful repnst was served to the entire
party at the expense of the road, where an
hour was given for rest and recreation.
Wlnle yet seated at the table, Governor
WILLIAMS, Blue Jeans" was ushered
into the dinning hall and introduced. In
few appropriate remarks lie extended a
hearty welcome to the State OF Indian o =,
and said he, too, was once an Ohio man

the State until about three years old.

Governor is q plain-looking and plain

high. resembling very much Presidert
LINCOLN in appearance and manner.
Many of the ladies of our party who had
the curiosity to experience ride OH the
locomotive with the engineer, had that
curiosity gratiied by the accommodating
officials OF the road, The time was mainly
spent between the two great cities in form
ing new ncquaintances, viewing the green
and golden crops in every direction, with
now and then some place of interest
pointed out in Southern Indiana, where
some desparndo had danced jig until the
Jig was up with him, at the end of string.
These exhibitions usually took place with
out trial or jury, and was the means of
Kidding that section of desperate gang of
desperadoes.
Nothing further of note occurred until
within about lS or 20 miles OF 81. Louis,

We take il that Prof. f. S. REEFY, edi
tor of the Elyria Constitution Dem whose
acquaintance we were pleased to make on
the Western trip does not enthuse very
strongly over EwING's great hobby. In
defining his position on fiat money, in
reply to Greenbnck paper, lie says !:
" Our position is that the adoption of fiat
money would prove the onnihlation OF
values debt is an acknowledgement of
value received, and to pay this debt t. re-
quires return ofsuch value to the creditor
Fiat money has no intrinsic value. For
the Government TO pay its bonded debt
with fiat money, would be to pay with
something of 70 value, which would be
practically ignoring or annihiating values,
for by setting nothing equal to something
it makes something equal to nothing. It

VIII Bro. Smith have the kin lncss to shed
enough light ON the subject, so that we
can percievo how he makes it clear that
nothing is equal to something?"
