Unless the plan prevails Of making
the public debt upon which the National
Banking system is founded, perpetual,
as designed by the privileged orders
that they may have a safe interest
bearing and non-taxable investment for
their surplus money, the system mus
go out of existence ere long, and the
question naturally engages attention
what sort Of currency is to take the
place Of The National Bank paper. The
question il answered in the following
extract from TIE ST, Louis Republican,
which we endorse. There could be no
better currency than Greenbacks. 1t
is perfectly safe. Unlike the National
Banks, it cost the people no interest.
1t is as good as gold or silver, though
the "bloated bondholders" will have
nothing but gold The wisdom of the
Democratic policy in refusing to permit
Greenbacks to be either cancelled or
deprived of their legal-tender functions

provides that indictments by grand
juries when found must be presented by
the foreman Of the jury, Gin the pres
ence of the accused parties to the court.
and must be filed with the clerk and re-

does away with the abominahle practice
of burying in secret indictments, which
prejudiced jurymen and designing dis

extravaganza of the Radical party when
it controlled the affairs of Kinds county.

IL consequence Of business engage
ments. DIR. S. S. Carter was compelled
to decline the canvass for the Legisla-

merous friends were anxious for him to
make, knowing his capacity to serve
the people well in that body and his
strong hold on their confidence. His
place has been supplied by the selection
of Judge j. 2. Tackett, of Richland,
an old citizen whom we have known for
many years as one of the worthiest and
most capable in the county.
The ticket of the Holmes Democracy
is now complete, and we have every
reason TO believe that it will sweep the
