The Sort of Man oliver Was.

From the Manchester Guardian.
There is a man in London who objects
to having the name of his street changed
to Cromwell" So he wrote to his land
lord thus: $50 long as live my family
shall never inhabit house IN any street
or terrace bearing the execrable name of
'Cromwell'-of most infamous memory--a
rebel, a traitor, a rigicide, usurper, a
self.seeking, ambitious hypocrite and
tyrant, a wholesale murderer Of defenseless
women and children Ito wit, the sieges of
Drogheda and Wexford), an arch enemy Of
the altar and the throne wide all English
history, That name is insulting to the
loyalty and intelligence of the entire
neighborhood and highly offensive to the
great majority of the rate.payers, who
have already most emphatically expressed
themselves to that effect"

ceiyed them in my hand from the paying
teller at the treasury department and
gave them their first fold. On a hasty
visit to Virginia last week, | stopped a
day in Washington; to prove the fact
more clearly that the treasury department
is run in the interest Of national bankers,
! presented twenty dollar national bank
note to one of the paying tellers, asking
fer twenty one dollar greenbacks, which
were instantly paid over to me. then
presented one of the crisp new greenbacks
and asked if he would give me gold dol
lar for it, but he refused, saying it could
not b0 done. urged that | would like
to have one as a souvenir, but was an
swered they could not exchange gold for
greenbacks. Now think it is about time
for the treasury to stop rcdeeming bank
notes or exchanging them for greenbacks.
Does the law require this to be done, or is
it one Of Judas Sherman's rules to add
credit TO the national bank monopoly
They also propose TO retire all one and
two dollar notes as they have withdrawn
the convenient fractional currency, thus
depriying the people of the only means
to remit small sums by mail, substltut-
ing silver in its place.

COULD WE BUT KNOW,

Mrs Helen Kicks In Boston Transcript.
Could we but know the substance from the

If only faith were not so weak and blind.
If underneath the smile, the glamour weay.

That gold-shot fabric Tour own hearts dc
sires-
Could we but know the truth, and self-deceiv-
ing,
Fed not the incense of loves alter fires.
If our own souls were but the magic mirrors,
Rejecting all the beautiful, the pure,
Detecting fraud, yet pitiful of errors,
Still love and faith, transcendent, might en-
dure.
But life has worn tear-channels In the spirit,
And wrong, with sorrow, cruel doubts have
nursed
The newborn king alas, he must inherit,
The pain, if all the splendor of the first!
Alas! with eyes we see not, grope and falter,
And miss the sunshine in the way we 90;
Reject the gold, with dross and tinsel palter,
Yet heaven is near us, if we could but know.

POLITICAL MENTION,

that secretary Sherman Will soon puOllsn
a letter announcing that he is not a candi-
date for the United States senate. Such
a letter, of course, would indicate that
Secretary Sherman has the strongest pos
sible confidence in his prospects for the
Presidential nomination, and that he does
not. care to weaken his Presidential
chances by the ENHANCEMENT Of senate
rial campaign.
A GREENBACK dollar reads thus: "The
United States will pay the bearer one dol
lar,"-can you find any law which says
what kind of dollar must be paid, and
hence cannot any money, lawful at the
time of presenting the greenGack be used
for its redemption, be it stamped in gold,
silver, nickle, copper, zinc, iron or paper?
If greenbacks are money, do they need
redemptionP If not money, what right
have they to circulateP
To reach the masses and educate them
up to just and true knowledge OF the
fundamental principles as advocated by
the Greenback party, no means is half so
efficient, powerful and far-reaChing as the
press. If it were possible to place in tho
hands of every intelligent voter in the
United States one good Greenback paper
for the space of four months only that
power alJne would quadruple the llghteSt
vote our party has yet cast.
WHAT more reason is there that the
United States should keep money idle in
box while its note is out than for a clti.
zen to do so? The citizens note isl proven
to be good by his property statement, and
his reputation for honesty. Why Is not q
nations note the sameP Why keep bonds
in the treasury to secure bankers notes
any more than chattel mortgages to
secure farmers notes when neither are
legal tenderP Why does one note draw
interest, and the other pay interest?
THE people, as whole, are honest
politically, but are not yet educated up to
a truthful understanding of the funda-
mental principles we advocate. Stump
speaking and lectures are all, to a certain
extent, good in their way, and have some
influence in shaping the public mind; but
the effect of all such efforts is not lasting,
but is soon lost if not followedup by close
and attentive reasoning. One Or more
good papers making their weekly charges
on the strongholds of prejudice and party
affiliations for four months will greatly
weaken, if not entirely break the ranks of
the old monopoly-ridden parties.
How have debts been adjusted? Sim.
ply by sweeping away collaterals of twice
the value of the Indebtedness, bankrupt
ing the debtors, and giving to creditors
twice the value Of their claims. A thous-
and millions Of debts, sweeping from the
hard earned possession of honest owners,
two thousand millions Of property, and
stranding on the rocks of bankruptcy and
hopeless ruin, three-lourths of the enter
prises of the country, was the price paid
for resumption. Contraction was tie net
that caught inflated credits, resumption
sprung it, and John Sherman & Co. bag
ged the game.

Then the ladies discovered that Harry
and James Early were already friends.
They had met at hotel in New York. and
both having their hearts in the same little
Southern town, they had speedily become
confidential. And Harry was not long in
getting his pardon, though his excuse
might well have been considered by less
loving mistress as IN aggravltion of his
OfenSe.
"Yes darling" he exclaimed between
his kisses, ''you wanted to test my heart,
so thought it only fair to let you test
your own also. Do you think you would
remember me il you never saw nor heard
of me for twenty-five years, as aunt Ethel
did that lover of hers?'
"Hmry! should remember you forever.
never, never would have married any
one else, you had staid away altogether
But indeed 1t was cruel to try me so bit
terly."
"And how about you sending me
away"
81 won't ever do it again, Harry; and |
never really wanted you to 90. You ought
to have known that"
A few nights afterward, as they sat to-
gcther on the moonlit veranda, Aunt
Ethel said, very tenderly, Children,
James and will be married next Thurs
day; and we will sail for Calcutta immc-
diately. Could not two marriages be
made at once? Then, Harry, Eloise could
live on the old place, and keep it from
going to destruction. 1t is Eloisc's now;
| | made it over to her to-day, and Mr..
Green says you are going into partnership
with their firm, so ! hope you will have
enough to keep love from flying out ofyour
| windows"
Little more was said at the time. for
Aunt Ethel ptrsistently turned the sub
ieCt, but as she came into Elolse room to
bid the new bride elect goodnight, " the
happy girl whispered: "Oh, aunt, how
generous you have been to us! Surely Mr.,
Early must be very rich, to let you give
US such a magnificent wedding present,
"No, dear, he is not In fact he is yet

"AShl.NtlpNs ~
August u, 1879
The political murder last reported from
Mississippi has about it circumstances
calculated in some degree to softer the
regret which would otherwise be felt At
such an event. The chief Of these cir
cumstances is that this affair will more
clearly exhibit the fact that the so called
Democratic party is a. ~intolerant and des
potic in feeling a. any despot that ever
sat upon q throne, and That c exhibition
of its oppression is limited only By the
extent of its power. The man Dixon
murdered recently by the Democratic
party at Ya.oo, Mississippi, wasa Demo-
crat whose praises has been sounded by
oil the newspapers Of that party in that
section. He wssa cont olling man among
Democrats, and probably better morally
and morally than most of them. But he
chose to differ with the party leaders in
Yazoo county. and had become . leader
in IN independent party movement. in
that county, that county that still claimed
to be of the democratic party. He was
not in sympathy with the Republicans ;
his only political sin, according { o the
orthodox democratic creed, was that he
was opposing the regular organization Of
the party. Being sdjudged guilty Of
that by the Democratic inquisition, .
contract Was made with Barksdale to
drive Dixon OUT Of the county Banks
dale could not do this and in pursuance
Of his contract killed him. This is the
whole history of the Infamous transaction.
1t wss the act Of the regular Democratic
organisation. and every man who sdheres
to that organization is . party to the
crime. And this Is but another Of the
Of the $1,000 I~olitical murders COMMITTED
by that party wirhio the las, ten years
1t has used the whip, the knife. the pistol.
the shot gun and the halter, as merciless
", as they were ever used by he Spanish
Inqui,ition. as despotically IS eve the
Familiars Of the licly Offices exercised
their power. Fair minded men anywhere
will not hesitate to believe that every
American citizen who adhere. to the
regular organization Of the so-called Dem
ocrstic party. and excuses such crimes,
or supports the powefthat commits thsu..
is stained with blood.
Thousands OF Republicans who we're
tortured in Castle Thuuder'' At Rich
mond during the rebellion will learn with
interest that the building vas burned to
the ground yesterday.
Senator Bruce says he has learned
enough in his investigation Of the Freed
mans Band affairs. to fasten the guilt Of
cmbezzlenen, on prominent men in this
city. 1 doubt very much if the Senator
has made any such discovery. Beyond
reckless and careless management, |
don't believe anything will be found
against the controllers of the bank. Pre-
vious Investigations have shown that. and
the inquiry by the Senator's committee
was the result IF ignorant clamor rather
shan any well grounded belief 10 the -.
tual criminality Of any ons. Rsr.
