BODY FoUND.-This morning about
half-past s O'Clock Capt Frank Dixon.
of the schooner Ella Hill, discovered
the body of man floating in the dock
in front of Messrs. f. A. Reed " Co s.,
between King and Prince streets, and
q crowd soon after having been at
traeted. the body was identified rs that
of Richard i. Coates, of Westmoreland
county. Va. who had been in the city
for the past two or three days, during
which time he had been more or less
under the influence of liquor. 1t seems
that Coates moved from Westmoreland
10 Wiehle station, on the w. y o. Il. r.,
some time ago, but had recently deter
mined to return TO Westmoreland, and
had packed his effects and brought
them to this city preparatory to ship
ping them on the steamer Sue. Yes
terday afternoon he went TO the agents
of the steamer, Messrs. f. a. Reed \
Co.. and asked what hour the steamer
was due at this port and WAS told the
boat would leave at II O'Clock. He
loitered about the Office until O'Clock
when it was closed, he having been
told to come back at o'clock. Coates
was then escorted to the waiting room
of the Washington Ferry Company, but
soon left that place. That was the last
seen of him alive, and it is supposed
that he accidentally fell overheard
while stumbling around the wharves in
the dark. The deceased during the
war was member of the 9th Virginia
cavalry, and was about so years of age.
The body was takento Mr.. Demaine's
undertaking establishment where DR..
purvis this evening summoned coro-
ner's Jury. They viewed the remains,
but in the absence of several witnesses
the coroner continued the jury till to-
morrow.

to the introduction of the new system

ment greenbaeks, but would have to
take the chances of a currency not rec
Ognized as legal tender for debts or

"The effect of the exclusion of gold
from use as money in half of the bust
ness world, as America must be consid-
cred, would cause a slump in its val
ue as great, and greater, indeed, than
silver has suffered through demoneti-
zatiOn."
Then men who desired to worship
gold could fill their cellars with it if
they chose to buy it as bullion, and
foreign exchanges could be made with
it then just the same as now, for it
does not leave our shOrs now as dollars
but as so much bullion weight. The
NeJC Nation concludes that "in the
face of this policy in America, "other
nations could only preserve themselves
from financial collapse by following
our example" The monopoly of mon
ey would be broken and one class
would be relieved from longer paying
tribute to the other. Instead of the
constant dread and fear of gold leaving
our shores, the people would not care
whether it was here, there or in the
bottom of the sea.

There is a great hue and cry begin
ming to be raised just now in the old
party papers about the number of can
didateS in our ranks for the various of
ices to be filled in the state. That
there are number of gentlemen who
would feel hOnOred by a bestowal of
a nomination for governor and other
places of trust, we shall not deny, for
who of the people is so dead to human
lty as to spurn a trust sought to be
placed in him by his fellOwmen.
But that they are candidates in
the sense of going about seeking the
support of the various sections is false
The AdcOcate opened up its columns
to the people and invited them to ex-
press their sentiments. In a state SO
pOpulOuS as Kansas and so favored
with men of ability and intelligence,
the only wonder is that so few have
been mentioned And these are all
held up to the gaze of the public by the
enemies of the cause, as candidates,
Sumner county has for weeks been be-
sieged by republican fxers, from all
parts of the state, who were looking
after their chances for all the various
offices, from governor and congress
man down to the tail of the ticket.
These men were travelling about from
county to county throughout the state
and district, doing everything they
could to influence choice in their favor.
They were real candidates. But be-
cause some of our men have unwit-
tingly, voluntarily suggested through
their official medium for these offices,
ridicule and opprObium are heaped
upon them by the people who are guilty
of the breach they seek to obscure in
the vain effort to destroy public conf
dence in our leaders. Not one of our
men has been travelling about for the
purpose which these republican patriots
seek to accomplish. They cannot
truthfully lay this charge to the door
of a single one of them. And judging
by the experience of last year these re-
marks will be applicable to the various
county campaigners in the state.

blow at a prominent republican, it

the news that he is a member of the
