GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, in the last
number of Harper's Weekly propounds
the following very suggestive inquiries:
If the chief public question at this
time be held to he that of financial ad-
minlstratior, would the finances be more
wisely managed by the Democratic par
ty and Gen. Hancock? If it be the pro-
lection of free ballot, would the secu-
rity of the voter be greater with the
Democratic party and Gen. Hancock !?
If it be administrative reform, would it
be more probable under the Democratic
party and Gen. Hancock? If it be re-
spect for just State rights and prompt
and adequate maintenance of national
authority. would either be more certain
under Democratic administration with
Gen. Hancock? Has the present Repub-
lican administration failed in any consti-
tutional duty to sections or to persons,or
in the maintenance of the national faith
and asound financial policy? Has it been
less able, less honest, less reformatory,
less loyal to law, less conservative and
respectable, in the truest sense, than
Democratic dministration with Gen.
Hancock would be? If the nomination
of Gen. Hancock is to be accepted as the
surrender of the Democratic party to
Republican principles, the country will
naturally prefer to trust the party which
has always held those principles. If it
be not such surrender, then it is only
another feint of party which, in pro-
Tossing loyalty to liberty and fidelity to
equal rights and All honest vote, always
does seem to be feigning. OF the two
candidates, there can he no doubt which
is the filter for the office; and of the two
parties which they represent, the judg-
ment of the country for twenty years
will not be reversed.

quantities have lately been purchased
at from SS TO 40 cents per pound, the
latter rate for the very best clips. Our
buyers will give the same figures, but
the farmers, generally, seem inclined to

that As cents per pound would take the

THE New York Sun feels that brass
buttons have been too prominent in the
Democratic campaign, and under the
head of No Military Nonsense" it la
bOrs to show that Hancock, although a
professional soldier, has nothing of the
military spirit about him. 1t assures its
readers that "Gen. Hancock knows very
well the jealousy toward military presi-
dents" and she will bring to his aid the
foremost statesmen of the nation" there
need be no fear that he will have around
him "mere dabsters in politics from
West Point or Annapolis, whose whole
professional training units them for any
successful management of the great con-
Germs of government" The Sun discov-
ering that the soldier dodge won't win,
is engaged in administering "taffy' to
the Democrats who want 10 military in
theirs. Eliminate the military" from
Gen. Hancock's history and he is a
stranger to the American people.

THE Baltimore American says that
there never was law passed by Con-
gress more stupid in its conception, or
whose folly was sooner and more con-
clusively demonstrated, than the Silver
bill. The people don't want the silver
dollars, and hourly all over this broad
land maledictions are poured out upon
the fool Congress that sent the plague
of the cart-wheel dollars. The Treasury
Department labors to shove them on the
people, but the people won't have them !;
and Of the sixty millions that have been
minted only sixteen millions of them
have gotten out, and fOrty-four mil
lions are bulging out of the Treasury
vaults, so that there is distraction of
mind over the subject of getting storage
room for them. And yet the coinage
still goes on at The rate of over two mil
lions month by the requirement OF the
absurd law which the country owes to
the Democratic Congress.

BY the caving in of the iron roof of a
section of the Hudson River Tunnel,
in process of construction, twenty men
were killed one day last week. The
tunnel under the Hudson, where this
disaster occurred, starts ON jersey
City, between the Erie and the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western railroads,
and will enter New York city at the
foot of Morton street. The New Jersey
entrance to the tunnel will be three
quarters of mile back from the Iive';,
not far from the base OF Bergen Heights,
and the New York terminus will be in
the vicinity of Broadway and Bleecker
streets, the extreme length being about
215 miles. The object in building it is
to enable the various railroads center
ing ginJersey City to land tEeir passengers
directly in New York without the ne
eessity Of ferriage, and to make direct
continuous railway connection from
