CINCINNATI, Nov. ia special dispatch to the
Enquirer states that Lewis Scaggs has been
convicted of the murder of Waddeil, in Elliott
county, KY, and sentenced to eight years i'm
prtSonment. Judge Ridder refused new hear
Ing, and the case Is to be appealed The pris-
oner was removed from the county jail for fear
the Regulators would shorten fhe sentence. The
Regulators in northeastern Kentucky have
issued proclamation, fashioned after the De-
clarattOn OF Independence. 1t recftes thatin view
of the reign of assassination, robbery and rapine
which has lasted in that region four yaers, they
have had to band together to protect themselves
that they are mob, but assert that they are an
organized and disciplined set of men, who mean
business. They assure good citizens that they
have nathtpg to fear, and warned all barn
burners and murderers to leave the coun-
try, and threaten them with lynch-law
where the state law fails OF its duty

RESUMPTION. MANY persons affect
surprise that the resumption act work,
50 smoothly. To us there is nothing
mysterious about the matter. The
great mass Of people use the money
they receive in order to supply theil
wants, and even if they were paid in
gold they could not hoard it, but would
be compelled to pay it to the butcher
baker, grocer and clothier. In the
payment of large amounts paper i,
more convenient, and for small ones
they prefer silver, as the colored man
exclaimed give me Il dollar that il
don't take two dollar pocket book to
hold, so that you may know all The
time it is there" The great mass o
the people only use money as a meas
ure of value, to enable them to exchange
their labor for the necessares of life
and so long IS paper money is par they
have no desire for gold, and papel
money will be par so long as it can be
used to pay duties on imports and thu
balance Of trade continues in our favor
