Avoiding that Didn't Occur.

Yesterday morning Mr.. Adam Ryles,
an expectant bridegroom of so summers,
got into bis best suit Of clothes and, tax:
ing Miss Lizzie Lewis maiden lady of
40 summers, in his buggy, drove to this
city to get the "fatal moose adjusted" !"
or, in other words, to get married. On
reaching the city the lady said she had
some shopping to do before the ceremony
was performed and would marry him at 8
O'Clock pm. Mr.. Ryles consented and
treated his lady love to fine dinner and
otherwise did all he could to make her
comfortable. Ats o'clock Mr.. Ryles was
on hand, but the lady again objected to
marrying him just then. a rather spirit
ed discussion took place between them,
during which the lady remarked "she
did not come to. town to marry, but to
get a new Dress" This was the last
straw, and Mr.. Ryles Indignantly order.
ed Miss Lewis to get in the buggy and
he would take her to a friends house
neaf. the city and leave her, and she
could make her way home the beat she
could, but on reaching the house she
refused to get out, and told him he had
to take her home. When last seen they
were homeward bound, and their conver.
sation was not of very amiable charac-
ter Greensboro Patriot.

Religious! FanaticIsm.

q COLUMBIA, IS. O., Oct. 17.-Primus
Jones, colored, was killed Sunday morn.
ing at Sumter, s. O. A protracted
meeting was being held by the negroes
at Beulah church, and the greatest ex-
citement prevailed. Itwas at first report,
ed that Primua had been offered as a
sacri6ce to the Holy Ghost because of his
incredulity.
Deputy Coroner s. a. Norris held an
inquest at the church. The testimony
showed that in q perfect frenzy of ,faDat-
<icism Jones was killed by Rev. A. III.
sDurant, the negro pastor, and Richard
Campbell, prominent member of the
church, because the deceased had ex-
pressed doubts about the supernatural
power of Durant to kill and restore to
life, and that was test case, but the e1-
pertinent failed.
a large number of Durant's congrega.
ton believed that he possessed supernat.
ural power until his failure in this case.
The finding was that Jones was murder
sed by Richard Campbell and A.: a. Du-
rant. The Jury was composed of intelli-
CANT colored men and the coroner com.
plimented them on their Virdict. The
prisoners are in Jail.

values) II takes TO produce 500 bushels Of
wheat But Congress steps In and by
making money scarce or changing lbs
relative proportion 10 the amount Of pro-
ductiOns, increases It's purchasing power
twO-fOld. II now represents 1900 bush
els Of wheat, and the farmer Is compelled
TO part with that amount TO obtain the
requisite number Of dollars 10 meet the
terms Of the contract, which is $1,000;
but the equity Of the contract Is 500
bushels Of wheat. Congress, then, by law,
takes 500 bushels OF wheat from the
debtor and gives il 10 the creditor. This
Is the the very worst form of Commun-
ism, for IL takes from the pOOr-which is
the debtor and gives 10 the rich. And
there 10 no process Of reasoning by which
this transaction can be made 10 appear
either just or necessary. Il is plain, un-
vanished robbery, and Of a worse form
than was praCtlced by the James or
Younger boys, for il rObs innocent chill
dren Of the necessities Of life and strikes
at the very foundation Of free constitu-
tiOnal government. Every effort to JUS
tify this Infamous policy by clothing II
with the forms Of law only aggrawtes
the evil, for the people are rapidly losing
respect for the laws that seem only to be
enacted for the sole purpose Of shielding
thieves, who commit robbery ON large
scale, from becoming inhabitants Of the
states prison. The inevitable result of
this policy can only be COnjectured by
those who have studied the decline OF ma
tions and the cause Of revolutions.
In 1865 the national debt was In round
numbers 89,SOOOOO,OOO. To have OBJ
tanned the money TO pay It at that time
by the sale Of wheat at the price obtain
able then, would have required about
1 l,400OOO,0OO bushels. The same amount
Of indebtedness now would represent
more than twice that number OF bushels
Of wheat To have paid the debt in 1860
with money obtained for cotton, at the
prices then ruling for that staple, would
have required 13,33O,0OO bales. Since
that time We have paid about s2,5OO,OOO,-
600 in interest, nearly 81,2OOOOO,OOO Of
the principle, yet it would require TO pay
the balance due, at the prices now obtain
able for cotton, about 25,OO0OOO bales.
The farmers are frequently reminded
that everything they are compelled TO
buy is so much cheaper that the general
fall OF prices does not effect those who
are not In debt II this were true, the
vast amount OF indebtedness throughout
the country alone would be sufficient 20
demand some measures Of relief. But
the assertion is not true. The vast ex-
penses Of the general government, to- |
gether with Che state, county and city |
governments, are all paid out Of the

profits Of productive industry, Let US
examine and see what the effect Of fall
ing prices has been on all that class OF
men who persist in reminding the
laborer that times are not 30 bad, and
that he has no reason 10 complain Of the
administration OF his party. Salaries re-
main about the same now that they were
when wheat was two dollars per bushel,
and cotton twenty-five cents per pound.
In 1867 a Congressional salary was equiv
alent 10 $500 bushels Of wheat, or 40
bales Of cotton. Az the present time the
same Congressional salary represents, In
value, over 5000 bushels Of wheat, or 100
bales Of cotton. SOwlth all other salaries,
which remain practically tho same as
they were twenty-five years ago. They
represent twice the amount Of the neceB-
stiles Of life, and OF all that the officials
Of government had Ia buy that they did
at the time Of the contraction act The
Congressman who voted for the passage
ofthat act accomplished what was equiv
alent TO the passage of an act 10 double
his salary. And right here we desire 10
call attention Of our readers 10 another
point which renders II 80 difficult to
secure the aid Of those elegant profes-
sional men whose sole dependence for
an income is in the shape Of salaries and
fees. The people need more money; but
any measure that will enhance the value
Of the products Of labor will also increase
the cost OF living Of all non-producers.
Thus, II by increasing the amount Of
currency 10 double the present volume,
the effect would be TO double the prices
of everything and consequently double
the cost Of living Of our Senators, Con
grsssmen, lawyers, etc. II the salary Of
our Senator'S and Congressman could be
fixed In a certain number Of bushels or
pounds OF the chief product OF their re-
spective states or districts, then their In
terests would be identical with the farm
eTs--they would assume the character Of
"bulls," and their sole interest would be
in keeping the prices high. As II is, the
more valuable the dollar is made, the
more the salaries Of our officers will buy;
and their sole selfish interest is 10 in.
crease the purchasing power OF money,
the effect Of which Is, TO decrease prices.
This has been the policy Of the govern
ment, persistently followed by every
administration and by men Of both parties,
for TWENTY-FIVE Veara.

We have seen that the Conspirators Of
fected two very important things In So
curing the passage Of the contraction
act.
First-It greatly increased the amount
of outstanding bonds bearing interest
Secondly contracting the currency IL
increased the value Of money and OF
bonds, notes and other evidences OF debt,
which are TO DO paid In money.
But it did more than this; It pre-
pared the way for resumption OF specie
payments, that other twin crime which
was the key to the arch Of the helllsh con-
spiTacy. The whole tendency Of legisla-
tion from the time Of the passage OF the
contraction act, was 10 the end of making
it more difficult to pay the public debt.
This they sought TO do-Rnd succeeded
-"by making difference in the value of
the currency"
Had Congress passed an act declaring
that we should pay the bOndholder two
dollars whore we only agreed to pay him
one, the people would not have tolerated
the fraud. Had they 30 declared and
permitted the circulation Of a uniform
volume Of the currency, the effect would
have been that the people would have
been compelled to part with twice as
much Of the products Of their labor as
they had originally contracted 10 do
Instead Of doing this, however, Con-
gress has done what is equivalent TO the
same thing. by system Of legislation,
persistently followed, they have increased
the purchasing power Of money tlll one
dollar will now purchase as much as two
dollars at the time the public debt was
contracted. In other words che farmer,
the miner and artisan are compelled 10
perform twice the amount Of labor now
TO obtain dollar that he did at the close
Of the war or at any time when the pub
lie debt was being contracted. The In
justice in this can very readily be seen In
the following illustration: A is q capital
ist and b is farmer. A loans n, In
1866, when wheat is worth 82 per bushel
and all other products Of labor is in pro-
portion, $1,000, This sum represents 500
