CoLuMsus, September 16.-About one
hundred business men Of this city, rep
resenting over six million dollars capi-
tai, had meeting at the Board Of Trade
rooms tonight, and adopted a pream.
BILE declaring that the recent partial sue
cess Of the Fusionists in Maine, menacing
as it does the credit of the Government,
the stability OF the currency and the prop
erty Of the country, would, perhaps, be
unworthy Of note except for the fact that
the Democratic party has violated It's pro.
iession of iealty to honest money by not
only givingimonetary aid to the Fusionists,
but openly supporting them in their strug.
gle against currency based on coin and
convertible at the will OF the holder,
which indicates the treachery Of the Dem.
ocratic party to the principles it recently
adopted in its National platform. In
view, therefore, OF the above condition Of
affairs, the business men Of Columbus
adopt the following resolutions:
Resolred, That having emerged from
such a panic as this country had never
seen before, now in our present prosperity
we declare ourselves satisfied in possession
Of a sound currency, ample forthe needs OF
business, and we therefore view with
alarm the possibility of any change.
ResOlred, That business men, irrespective
Of party, of our town and city, Of Ohio,
be requested to meet, consult and adopt
such means as to them seem most likely to
preserve the present equality between the
paper and coin dollar, to insure diminu.
tion Of the public debt, instead Of an in.
crease, to maintain the presenthigh stand.
ard Of the public credit and their interests,
thereby continuing the prosperous condi.
ton OF the country, and TO see that their
influence Is felt atthe polls in October aud
November.
An Executive Committee was appointed
to ask cooperahon-o business men oil
Ohio in this movement.
"A resolution was adopted inviting
Senator Conkling to address the business
men of this city during his coming visit

PANAMA, September l6.-The news
from the South at last show CLEAN of
peace, at least of an armistice, through
foreign Intervention.
A Lima correspondent OF the Star and
Herald, writes under date OF August %,
that Hon. ]. R. Christiancy, the American
Minister, left that capital on August l6,
and sailed from Callao on the same day
in the United States steamer Wauchusetts
for the South, and adds that although
there is general belief that he has gone
to Santiago, the Capital OF Chill, my Opin.
ion Is he has gone no further than africa,
there 10 meet some high personsge from
Chill, and probably the bearer OF import
ant dispatches from the White House, and
not lmprobably some idea OF what will be
acceptable 10 the power in Peru, Senior
Pierola.
On the following day there was meet
ing Of the French, English and Italian
Ministers in the palace here, which seems
TO have aided by despatching. on the
18th, the French man OF war, Huascar,
to africa with dispatches, the contents Of
which have not been disclosed. Tie same
correspondent says: Chill has met with a
check, where apparently she least ex-
pected, and from quarter which she nei-
ther dare nor can despise, and intimRtes
taht England, France and Italy have inter-
fered. The Peruvian torpedo boat, sunk
by The Huascar in Callao Bay some
months ago, has been recovered by the
Peruvians, and is being reftted for SER
vice. A meeting Of capitalists was held
at the Palace the other day, when it was
resolved to advance twenty millions hard
dollars TO the Government, II Senior Pie
rola decides to issue no more paper.

turns Of September 1st, regarding the con-
dition OF the wheat crop harvest give a
preliminary estimate OF the crop, but there

September estimate this year gives the
condition 80 against 92 in 1870, and 81 in
1878. his estimate relates to the quantity
and quality, and does not take into con-
sidsrAtion the increase OF acreage.

His view Of the siiaatIou and Prospect,
Sent TO Garfield.

MENTOR, O., September Ex-senator
Blaine sent the following dispatch this
morning:
AUGUSTA, MAINE, September 10.
To Gen. j. a. Garfsld, Mentor, Ohio:
The indications point unmistakably to
the election Of Governor Davis. II We
could be assured OF an honest vote and
honest returns from the French plauta-
tons OF Arostook county, every posi-.
bility Of doubt would be removed. These
plantations have been the hot beds OF
Democratic frauds for thirty years past.
We have not yet received their returns.
The total vote for Governor will reach
nearlyif not quite ssventY-lour thousand.
Only twice in the history OF our party in
Maine has the vote reached seventy.fye
thousand, and never reached seyenty.six
thousand. The sverage annual vote ior
the past ten years has been little more
than 10000. Our people are in splendid
heart and courage, and will go into the
November fight with the advantage Of 9
popular msiority In the contest Of Mon.
day last. Signed, JIG. BLAINE.

Mr.. John A. Hutchinson, the Republi.
can candidate for Congress in this district,
having issued challenge for Joint po-
litical discussion 1t TIM point on Tuesday,
the 2lst inst, the same has been accepted
by Col. Ben Wilson, and as extensive
preparations were being made by both
parties for display in honor Of their re-
spective candidates, we thought 1t best to
have aninterview between the two Execu-
tive Committees. The two committees &C.
cordiDgly met, when, TO the surprise OF
the Democrats, the Radicals announced
that they did not think Mr.. Hutchinson
could be present, as his other appoint
ments would seriously interfere with his
contemplated visit.
II this ia not square back down, we
want to know what 1t is. Mr.. Hutchinson
and bis friends are good at blowing, but
they are afraid 10 come up to the scratch.
Mr.. Wilson will be here on the date
named above, without fail, and will re-
ceive an enthusiastic greeting. McE.
The writer Of the above letter will find
before he gets through with this matter
that he has been a little previous. The
facts Of the case are these: Mr.. Hutchin-
son had an appointment at Glenyille, Gil
mer county, on the 2oih, aud at Parkers-
burgh lat the soldiers reunionl on the 22d,
50 that, as any one can see, be could not
meet these appointments aud, suddenly
aud unexpectedly, meet Col. Wilson alsoat
New Cumberland, Hancock county, on
the 9lst. But John Hutchinson is not the
man To be bluffed by even a sudden and
unexpected demand upon him, and II the
parties to this little piece Of strategy sup
posed that they could make some cheap
capital out of it:,at no risk to themselves
they have simply made a mistake. Mr..
Hutchinson will be on hands on the even
ing Of the 2lst to meet Col. Wilson at New
Cumberland, having yesterday cancelled
all other. Engagements that stood in the
way OF his doing so. As soon as he was
informed Of the situation by telegraph he
promptly replied, ~ TiH b Of Ess Ctsnber-
land on The t,penty frt.
We rather think that the chaps at New
Cumberland who were getting ready to
crow over the prospect Of chance to
spread report that the Republican STAN
darti bearer did not dare to meet Col.
Wilson will experience sense Of gone
ness about the stomach when they read
the above news.
Itmay as well be understood once for
all that John A. Hutchinson is ready to
meet Col. Wilson at all times and places
in this district from now until the ID day
Of November and that on every occasion
such as the above he will make sacrifice
If necessary to meet him. He does not
propose to be bluffed by any snap
judgments.

that in manufactured iron there is good

work up manufactured iron and steel are,
without anv exception that We know of, all

The Readjustets remained In session all

any indisposidon 10 unite in support OF
