Ladd and he shines like star beside a
kerosene lamp. True Troup said that it
was no credit to have served in the Union
army as private; but he manfully spoke

The 4rgus, through the medium OF {
quotation from the New York Herald, &c
cuses the PRESS of being a party organ. l

on file instead of sending them. :
TODAY we publish the fifth Of the. Irib-

loss and wild speculation that result from
the use of an inflated irredeemable Govern !,
ment paper currency. a
THE argus still calls the Philadelphia , ,
Record and Times independent Republican ,
papers. That is about as accurate as the
Argus usually is.
GEN. PLAIsTED denies that he made the
remark that 'Egreenbacks were a loan from
the Government to the people without inter- I
