| The Hon. A. Fl. Stephens, of Georgia,
is fond of being interviewed by news
paper reporters, and the independent
movement in Georgia made by him and
few others keeps him all the time en-
gagged in defining and explaining the po-
sition which he occupies in the Demo-
cratic party. He claims to be strict
Democrat, of the Jeffersonian School,
and yet perfectly aware that independent
ism, which he advocates, is in direct an
tagonism to all party organization and
success, is hard pressed to reconcile his
position with the heretofore conceded
rule for the government Of all parties,
that the expressed wishes of the majority
of the party as expressed in convention
or at primary election shall govern the
party. Mr.. Stephens we'll knows that
this is Democratic doctrine and the only
way of putting down all rings and
cliques, and therefore, while he does not
directly attack this mode of selecting can
didates, he changes the issue by declaring
that the object of the independents is to
prevent "ring rule" He is the last man
to complain of "ring rule" as he holds
his seat in the present Congress by
threatening the convention that he would
be candidate with or without it's nomi-
nation, which was equivalent to declar
ing that he and "his ring" if the majori-
ty of the Democrats of his Congressional
District should prefer another candidate,
would unite with the Republicans and
defeat the nominee representing the ma
jority Of his party. This is not only
"ring rule" in its most obnoxious and
tyrannical form, but it is rule or ruin the
party utterly regardless of all principle.
Mr.. Stephens would not find it necessary
to be so often explaining his position on
this subject, if it were capable of any rea-
sonable explanation. 1t is opposed to
every principle of Democratic rule and
government, and is fraught with mis-
chief, and mischief only, to the best in
terests of the party and the whole coun-
try. If carried out it will place the con-
troll of the Southern States again in the
hands of the ignorant Radicals, whose
rule will be an high carnival of extrava-
gance, ignorance and ruin Of all the ma
terial interests of the laboring thousands.
The Republicans cannot regain control
of the Southern States unless it be
through the instrumentality of indepen-
dents, who, because they cannot rule
their own party, form an alliance with
their political enemies to defeat that par
ty. The worst enemy the Democratic
party has is the independent Democrat.
He is ambitious, selfish, and subordi-
mates principles to his own political ad-
vancements. This is the "ring rule"
which, at the present time, is most to be
dreaded, and menaces the success of the
Democratic party. Independentism
means the defeat of the Democrats and
the re-establishment of negro govern
ments in the South. Every independent
does more to secure this end than any
Radical can, and the most dangerous enc
mics that good government has is inde-
pendents.

Hon. Alfred w. Lay, q memporlof Con-
gross from Missouri, died quito suddenly
from paralysis in Washington City on
last Monday morning, and consequently
but little business was done in either
House of Congress. In the House imme-
diately after the reading of the journal
Mr.. Clark announced the death of his
colleague, offered resolutions of respect
to his memory. and after the appoint
ment of a committee to superintend the
funeral ceremonies, the House adjourned.
In the Senate Mr.. VOORHEES,, of Indiana,
offered resolutions expressing the deep
regret of the Senate Mt tho recommended
tions of the President and Secretary of
the Treasury in their message to inau-
gurate new and uncallod-for financial
policy, which were laid upon the table
to bo called up by Mr.. VOORHEES,. At all
early hour the Senate adjourned as q
mark of respect to the memory of Mr.
Lay. Greenbaclls and treasury notes are
now at par with gold and silver, the
country is fast recovering from the great
financial depression of several years, and
it would be we'll for Congress to stop
tinkering with the currency of the coun-
try, and not inaugurate another financial
crisis by destroying the relative value
of paper and coin. The aim for years has
been to bring the value of paper cur
rency up to that of gold and silver; this
is now accomplished, and Congress
should not by any legislative action,
destroy this equalization of value by re-
ducing the value of paper currency below
that of coin. Such legislation would be
unwise and oppressive to tho poor
man.

ductions. capital and manufactures have
again been put upon an equal footing.
Bedrock has been reached and every
thing is advancing. Never was there
such prospect for good, flush times
since the close of the war. In addition
comes the failure Of crop, in Europ,
and Americas competition in the manu-
facturc of all the spccialtics of foreign
countries. The result is a wonderful
influx of gold. The dispatches say that
eight millions Of dollars are now on the
waters. Over sixty millions of dollars
Of England's and Frances money have
been received since August. Not n
steamer arrives from Liverpool or liarrc
that does not bring con>ignments Of
specie. Daily there are great drafts Of
coin from the banks of England and
France for export to the United States.
There Is no mistakig the significance Of
this movement. 1t is manifest in the
general business prosperity. Ii is an
