Buchanan also tells the story of his
attempt to lead tho public TO believe
he had committed suicide. He says
on a night in August last, he went to
the Market street ferry, where Van
Dusen and man known aa Shep"
were waiting. Buchanan gave his
coat to his double, and drove off TO
the railroad. "Shep" passed on to
the ferry-boat to be saluted by the
holten a. "Doc," and to be pointed
out by Van Dusen as DR.. Buchanan.
"Shep" had nothing to say on the
boat, and this point was used by Van
Dusen to impress on the deck hands
of the boat that "the Doctor is acting
strangely tonight" As the ferry. beat
turned to enter the canal eepal ating
Ridgewav Park from Windmill Island
a skiff crossed its bow and lay close
in under the shadow Of the piles.
"Shep" stripped himself of Buchan-
ans ceat and plunged overheard, and
with a few strokes caught hold of his
partners skiff, and clutching tightly
to the stern, was hauled down the
river to below Point Airy whore he
clambered in and was rowed along
the Jersey side, and thence across the
river to his home.

BILLY MALONE, who constitutes the
Republican majority in the U. S. Sem
ate, was confessedly secured to that
party by corrupt purchase. He was
elected by the Legislature of the Old
Dominion as Democrat, and never
professed to be anything else till he
found he could drive a sharp bargain
with the desperate leaders of the Re-
publican party, and thereby secure
patronage and influence. He is one
of those "rebel brigadiers about
which SO much bowling has been
heard from the Radical camp, and an
unrepentant one at that, who declared
in the Senate the other day that he
had no apologies to make for the part
he took in the war of the rebellion.
And yet the Republican leaders will
hsg this unrepentant rebel" and
out-and. out repudiationist to their bo.
SONS, and give him the control oil
patronage and power Is anything
more wanted to show the hypocrisy
and downright humbuggery of the
Republican rant about their being the
party of all the loyalty, patriotism
and honesty in the country?

how for $3.50, diplomas which were

THE Legislature of the State of
Rhode Island has recently rejected
resolutions expressing sympathy for
the down trodden and oppressed peo-
pie of Ireland. That is characteristic.
Rhode Island still cherishes the prin-
ciples of the old Know-Nothing or
ganiZation. She refuses to allow nat
uralized citizens to vote unless they
pay taxes on real estate. But negroes,
and white criminals of various kinds
may vote there, if they are native born,
without any property qualification !;
but no white man born abroad, no
matter how intelligent and honest he
may be, can vote in Rhode Island, un-
less his name is ON the real estate tax
list. He must own landed property or
remain unenfranchised. Rhode Island
is "loyaP' to the Republican party and
its proscriptive principles.

A Row Brewing.

A Washington special of Friday
says:
The political skies are gloomy here
to-day. The party harmony on which
all the brethren were congratulating
themselves as late as Monday has re.
ceived a jar, greatly to the dismay of
a considerable number of anxious souls
who hoped that with the expiration of
the Hayes administration long stand
ing sores would be healed and every
body would be happy. This evening
one feels in Republican circles the
shadow of the impending conflict, the
end whereof some Republicans pri-
vately confess they do not see. There
are more and deeper grievances than
as yet appear before the public, and the
strife, which for the present appears to
lie between the President and some
Senators, will be found to take wider
scope. How it will end no one pre-
tends to guess, but there are melan-
choly growls that it ought to have been
prevented; that it ought even now to
be stopped if any one only knew how
to stop it, and that if it is not stopped,
Heaven only knows how far it will go
aud with what consequences to the
party.
Meantime impartial observers re-
mark that it the present prellmlnaries
result in a pitched battle it will be a
battle royal and between men on both
sides who know how to handle the
weapons of political warfare. "This
is not fight between an inexperienced
politician like Hayes and the whole
Senate" said cheerful Democrat to-
day. "This is fight between people
on both sides who know how to fight,
with a divided Senate, some of whose
ablest members will range themselves
on the administration side, and an ad-
ministration whose chiefs are them
selves skillful and astute politicians
and not simple countrymen, like
Hayes" That there is a contest inn
pending is the general belief among
| Republicans, as also that it may pro-
duce almost at once, some queer re-
suits.

THE present Legislature of the State
of Maine, which is overwhelmingly
Republican, has passed twenty-four
bills chartering banks in that State.
OF these eight have been vetoed by
Plaisted, the Fusion Governor, and the
others are likely to meet the same fate.
In his message vetoing the Casco bank
bill, of Portland. he says: 1t has
become the settled policy of the Gen
eral Government to control the entire
credit circulation OF the country.
Whether that circulation shall be is
sued and its volume controlled by the
Government for the benefit of the
whole people or by the National Banks
for the benefit of their stockholders,
remains for the future determination
of the American people, to be settled
in their own coed time"

THOUGH France aud Austria have
inierdicted the importation into those
countries of swine, pork, bacon, or
sausages from the United States, we
don't observe any appreciable dimin-
ution in the price of those commodi-
ties in this vicinity, but on the contra
ry, quite the reverse.
A WAsHINGToS SPECIAL says the
President has stated TO a member OF
Congress that there will be no extra
session. The President would much
rather let the country suffer from
Hayes bluuder of vetoing the fund
ing bill than to call Republican Con
gress together in the present torn up
condition of the party.

WHILE the funding bill was before
Congress the Republican members
thought it was all right to prevent leg
islation by dilatory motions and all
manner of fillibustering, to prevent
the adoption of measure that would
have saved the Government and peo-
pie over a million dollars a month in
interest on the crushing public debt.
But when the Democratic members
fillibuster to prevent the election OF
new officers of the Senate at this extra
session, they are denounced by the
Radicals as revolutionists. The Re-
publicans then opposed measure OF
incalculable benefit to the entire peo-
pie of the country, while they are now
simply striving to promote their party
advantage by possessing themselves of
a few petty offices of the Senate, which
are of no consequence to the country
whatever.

If any other evidence was necessary
to convince the popular mind that
there is danger to the uncontrolled ex-
istence of the National banks, beside
their recent attempt to intimidate
Congress, and beyond their success in
securing the Executive, the fact that
many Republicans and their organs are
alarmed at the power possessed, would
alone be sufficient. Among others,
that able and acknowledged stalwart
sheet, the Chicago nter-Ocean, re-
CARDS the course pursued recently by
the banks as hasty and wrong. 1t
says, among other things. that
1.-THE people know there is no rea |
difference between National bank
note and Treasury note, except that
one is issued directly by the govern =
ment, without the intermediate of the
bank, and the other directly by Treas
ury. The great popular argument of
conservative business men against the
replacing of National bank notes by
greenbacks, is founded on the convic-
tion that it is not safe to trust the con-
troll of the circulation with politicians
in Congress, but that it is safer to rely
upon banks, whose interests are purely
commercial. The action of the Ma
tional banks in New York and else
where in attempting to frighten and
overawe Congress aud compel legisla-
tion to suit them, will haYe Il tendency
to beget doubt upon this subject and
make the public fancy that there is no
more to be feared from the first quarter
than there is from the last
"ThiS government is Nation of
80, 600, 900 of inhabitants-not only the
largest civilized nation that ever exist
ed, but, in reality, the richest 1t is
doubtful whether it is necessary for il
now to borrow money abroad. Our
own people have lots of it: and we only
need such legislation as will enable
and encourage the people to put their
surplus in the Treasury, to furnish
every dollar TO pay off the public debt,
without resortiDg to London, Amsier-
dam, Frankfort, or Paris. The people
feel that they are not dependent on
have learned wisdom from our mis- fOr-
tunes The selfish greed of the New
York Banks in 1861 coml e.led the gov.
ernment to rely upon itself for curren-
cy; and the recent action of the same
class of bankers, if persisted in, may
compel the government to take such
action as will declare it's independence
of corporate dictation again."
The foregoing is very gentle rap al
the cormorants and barnacles, but it is
truthful as far as it goes. Let the peo
pie of all parties look the danger full
in the face.
