An agitation is beginning in the monetary
centres of the North to secure the reissue
Of limited amount of paper fractional cur
rency. The law does not forbid this, but
the old plates have been destroyed, and an
appropriation by Congress would be neces-
sary before new ones could be made. The
Treasurer says that for very small sum new
plates, more acceptable than the old, could
be engraved, and currency could be printed
to satisfy the demand. A certain part of
the currency so issued would be worn out
or lost in circulation, and the amount thus
gained by the government would much
more than pay for the cost of engraving
and printing. In any event, the amount
should be strictly limited, and if the cur
rency were made redeemable in silver coin,
ii would circulate side by side with 1t, peo-
pie choosing one or the other according to
their convenience. There can be no doubt
that such a currency would greatly facili-
tate small transactions by mail.

We have an enormous revenue, and the
public treasury, it is said, is actually slop-
ping over. With this fact fully appreciated,
there is great disposition to spend this
money, and every Member and Senator to
defect the golden overflow into his district
or State. Bills have been introduced ap-
propriating over seventeen millions dollars
for the purpose of erecting buildings, GUS
tom houses and postofflces in insignificant
towns A town in Florida wants the United
States to build postoffice worth quarter
of a million dollars. The entire State of
Nevada has not population equal to that
of Washington, but 1t has town demand
ing through two Senators and Represen-
tive postoffice worth hundred thousand
dollars. Other localities and towns in forty
States and Territories are making the most
exorbitant requests for grants from the pub
lie treasury. The interests of this great coun-
try are continually demanding the appro.
priation Of large sums OF money for i'm
provements for the benefit of the country
at large, and it is the utmost importance that
the public treasure should not be squander-
ed to crafty the greed of small communi.
ties.

Our Next Congressman,


Mr. Editor. The boom In favor OF the
nomination of Hon. Montgomery Blair for
Congress still continues in this section. 1t
seems as though the people are desirous of
rendering unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars" &c. Mr.. Blair being citizen of
this county and State, his interest is ours
Being of Il reserved temperament, he has
never set himseG up as a subject of our suf-
frage, but after many solicitations he became
II candidate for the Legislature of 1877, and
II seemed that he received the vote of every
Democrat in the county His wisdom and
craftsmanship made that Legislature mod
el one.
And again, the original Act of 1866, by
which $i,s00,000 was paid to citizens OF
Montgomery, Frederick, Allegany, Wash.
ington and Garrett counties, for war claims,
or damages sustained by our late unhappy
war, was drafted and engineered through
both branches of Congress by Hon. Mont
g0mery Blair. Then taking this and his
abilities, which would put him into the
front rank and leadershipin Congress, into
consideration, we owe him debt of graft
tude for past favors, and should he receive
the nomination the Sixth District will no
longer be doubtful one. .

the beverage which they drink at breakfast
and possibly sitter dinner, is Mocha coffee.
Their grocer tells them that the article be
sells is "pure Mocha" and they have no
means of knowing that he is deceiving
them, If, indeed, he has not been deceived
himself. Some, with peculiar fastidious-
ness, insist upon having a mixture, and
want one-half or one-Ihird OF Mocha and
the remainder Of Java coffee-a request
which the grocer seemingly complies with;
that L. he takes the coffee from two separate
compartments. Now, the last completed re-
turns of the coffee production of the world
year the estimated growth was 1882
112,500 pounds, of which Brazil pro-
duced 40z, 127 300 pounds, or nearly one
half. Next came the Dutch East
Indian possessions, where the crop amounted
10 pol 500, 200 pounds; while Ceylou, South
Africa, and the West Indies, furnished near
Iy all the rest. Arabia, it is true, appears
on the list, but its total growth, the Mocha
district and the rest Of the country com bined,
was only about A 100000 pounds-that Is,
not quite one-half of one per cent. of the
growth of the world. When it is considered
that coffee is extensively used in Arabs, that
Mocha comes within the possessions of Tur-
key, a country peopled with coffee drinkers,
and that we have no direct communication
with Arabia, one may well hesitate before he
accepts the current Mocha fiction of the gro
GERS. 1t ia highly probable that not 10000
pounds OF this article are brought into this
in the course of a year, an amount
that would not furnish DAYS supply for the
inhabitants of this city. We all, of course,
know the flavor of Mocha coffee, and hence
cannot be deceived, though in reality proba-
bly, not one in a thousand OF us ever tasted it.

Hartford Comm Letter to Springfield Republican.
The most perfect specimen OF type-set-
ting machine is now substantially complete
in private room at Colts 1t has vet to
stand the test of manufacture and actual
trial, but as ii now stands it is marvel of
ingenious and yet not complicated mechan-
ism. Judged from description, the machines
used by the London Times are not to be
a recent account, the Times machine destroys
three or four columns of type day, and will
not distribute" so that il has been found
necessary to have new type cast daily and
brought to the machine in tubes Now,
every one who has seen the Colt machine
will admit that Its work in setting the type
and in distributing is faultless. By very
ingenious arrangement it distributes while
1T sets, and the work of distribution being
slightly more rapid than the setting the
cases are always full. The distributor is
regulated in such way that the instant the
most frequently used letter box (say that
of E. is filed, the work of dis
tribution stops, 10 be resumed as soon
as the case besiE 10 be emptied. III
the machine WILL do the work of two
men in setting type land much better than
this is claimed it), it can readily be said
to do the work of four, since the tedious work
of Distribute is disposed of at the same
time, as a sort OF side issue. And each letter
goes into its appropriate box as certainly
and regularly as the Yale key FITS into its
own lock. The only doubts about the ma
chine are as to the "justier," but this is
claimed to be complete now, and certainly 1t
would seem simpler thing TO arrange this
than to have made the other parts.

TRENTON, TENN.
Speeches by Governor Marks and 'Rafr.
road" Beasiey.
,rom an Anpea1 correspondent.l

From an Appeal Correspondent
TRENTON, Tenn, August 7.-Governer
Marks was petitioued by the people of
Trenton TO address them to-day, and came
according to appointment. RAILROAD" Beas-
ley also turned up here this morning, know
ing that Governor Marks would be here, and
supposing that he would divide time with
him. But Marks didn't see fit to divide, and
they both entertained their respective
crowds in the courthouse yard. Marks
spoke on the east side to a crowd of about
1900 people, gathered from all parts OF the
county 10 hear him. Bsasley spoke on the
west side to a small crowd. Beasley didn't
speak long, but Marks held his 1900 men
almost spellbound. They listened with marked
attention, and scarcely sound was heard
but the clear ringing OF his voice. He ar
raigned the Republicans tor their crimes,
from the year 1861 down 10 the present time,
and he arged them with that crime which
they are endeavoring to thrust on the Demo-
cratic neutrality-suspicious. He took up
their record and showed that they had en-
deavored to repudiate the bonds that Gov
crnor Harris had issued because he was a
rebel. His whole speech was sensible, full
of argument and sound logic, and had the
ring of pure Democracy in it. With his
eloquence he cast halo of glory around the
heads of Freeman, Mcfarland and Turney.
He said that the people of Tennessee owed
them a debt OF gratitude that they would
never repudiate, and which no statute of
limitations would ever bar. The people
were delighted with his effort. Alter Marks
had finished, the Hon. Wise A. Cooper in
troduced the Hon. +. 3. Raglapd, of Hay
wood, who announced himself as candidate |
Tor Congress from the Ninth congressional |
district. He made few appropriate re-
marks and closed. Our county is almost |
.olid for Bate; few will vote for Russell.

Church Expenses.
c., rra,o;.oo pn11.Af,.

The expense of running church cannot
be calculated at less than $1,000 per annum,
even in the smallest town. In come of the
metropolitan churches the bills run up to
S10, 1000, and there is probably more than one
where there would not be much left Of $780,
900 after all the annual expenses had been
met. Some of the means resorted TO IN order
TO get sufficient money to pay the bills are
offensive to many. 1t lie, perhaps. safe to
assume that no church has a right TO exist
that cannot maintain itself from income
raised. Church lotteries have
long been tsbooed by respectable organize
lions, and there are other means often en-
ployed to reach mems pockets and help swell
