this is logical conclusion. Why held that
the Government can turn rags AID lamp
black into money to any cXtcUt and then
deny the right and duty or the Govern
ment TO give all who need all they demand ;
Those who think the banks are making
money very largely by their circulation
are invited To explain, if this be true why
so many banks aye giving up or reducing
their circulation. The New York Times of
Thursday says "a report was circulated
in the Greet yesterday that the banks OF
this CITY. with some of those of the neigh
toring States, are intending TO reduce their
circulation during the summer by about
$50, 600, 900. Although the report lacks
authority, it is quite likely to be true. The
''bloated corporations who enjoy a
monopoly" of borrowing money by cir
culating notes according To the Democrat
ic-Greenback orators, have for long time
shown a very slight appreciation OF their
privileges. With the present rate OF IN
terest on the bonds held by the Treasury
for security, the rate Of profit on circula-
ton. after deducting taxation and the eX-
penses of doing business, is by no means
tempting. Itwould not be at all surprising

The movement TO nominate Judge
Virgin as Republican candidate for Gov
ernor is gaining considerable spontaneous
strength. We should be glad TO see
Judge Virgin elevated to a position for
which he Is eminently fitted; but do not
think it wise to instruct delegates posi-
lively before the Convention, on such a
wear as this. We must have the best
man if we are to win, and we can only
ascertain who Will be the best man after
delegates to the convention have consulted
together.
We have received two communiCa-
tons on the Governor question, which
we shall publish next week. One pre-
sentS the name of Hon. John z. Swasey
of Canton, one of the most popular Sen
ators ever sent from this County, a work
or in the temperance cause, and a speaker
with scarcely rival in the State. The
other presents the name of Hon. Israel
WaShburne. IT,, a man who Is well and
favorably known in the disatfected eastern
section of the State, and whose record as
Governor will bear most careful scrutiny.

SECTIONAL TENT BOOKS IN THE
SOUTH
From the Boston Journal.

Mr. Vance Of North Carolina stated in
the Senate the other day, a. fact which
was within his own knowledge, that no
partisan textbooks exist in the South. Mr..
Gordon of Georgia admitted that sectional
textbooks were used during the war, and
for some time after its close, but declared
that they had been rooted out, and that it
would be impossible TO find one such book
today in the hands of any Southern child.
These denials would be very reassuring, If
they were true. The atrociQus history, and
REASONABLE principles which were taught
in some of the Southern school books dur
ing and after the war were a marvel of
ingenious maignity, and it would be almost
hopeless to expect much in the way either
of intelligence or of loyalty from gener-
alton which was brought up under such
training. Mr.. Gordon assured his col
leagues in the Senate that all books of this
description had been supplanted by the
series prepared by the University of Yir-
ginia, which contain "nothing whatever
sectional or political" The latest volume
in the series which Mr.. Gordon praised so
warmly for its freedom from sectional bias
is the Southern Students Handbook for
Reading and Oratory," prepared by John
g. James Of the Texas Military Institute,
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1879-06-17

Delaware furnishes a parallel to the
Pocassct tragedy in Giles Kitchens muir
der of his ls-monthS boy near Concord,
Sussex County, in 1851. "Gillie" was a
farmer who read his Bible a good deal, and
the night before the killing hc attended a
Methodist protracted meeting. That night
he thought he heard the voice of God com
handing him to sacrifice his boy, and the
next morning he took the baby out into the
woods \ dog ran to the fathers feet, and
supposing that like Abraham'> ram it was
10 take the place of the child, he waited
for such command, but none came. Gil
lie was put on trial, but United States
Senator Saulsburys tears secured an ac-
quittal. The man has since lived an up
right life and is kind TO his children.
