first thousand subscribers who cor
rectly answer the question for August

rect answers, but who are too late to

The voltage was 1850. The con

warmly greeted by his pastor and Mrs.
Buchanan who arrived from Pough-

Octavius o. Cottle Held Captive in
Buffalo Forty Hours for Ransom

Octavfus o. Cottle Held Captive in
Buffalo Forty Hours for Ransom.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June 27.-Octae
vius O. Cottle, rich and we'll known
lawyer of this city, was found by the
police Yesterday morning in the GELS
lar of an abandoned cottage on Bay
mes street, where he had been for
forty hours held a captive by two
men, who wanted SIS, 900 from his wife
as ransom. On Monday morning
stranger drove to Mr.. Cotile's
house and asked him to drive with
him to house in Chenango street,
which he was DESTROYS of selling to
certain of Mr.. CottIe's clients. Mr..
Cottle drove away with the stranger,
who took him to the deserted house.
It was in the centre of the residence
district, but where the houses are
not close together. He asked Mr..
Cottle to step IN. and appraise the
house.
Mr.. Cottle entered in advance of
the stranger, and as the door closed
on him he was attacked by the stran>
ger and another man, who had been
hiding in the hall. They gagged
Cottle and dragged him to the cell
lar, where preparations had been
made for his reception. Handouts
were put on his arms and shackles
on his legs. and dog collar and
chain was fastened around his neck
and the chain carried to the shackles,
so that he could not straighten up.
Then all the chains were fastened to
the floor, the gag was taken out, and
the captors told Mr.. Cottle he would
be released when they received
5000. Pens and paper were then
produced, and he was directed to
write a letter to his wife, telling her
he was in serious trouble and for
her to give the bearer So 900 at once.
Mrs. Cottle was much surprised
when she got the letter and was
about to give the money to the men
of the matter and he informed the
police. She told the stranger to
come again later in the day. but he
never came back The other man
remained with Mr.. Cottle until Tues
day night, and then, fearful when
his com Danion did not reappear, he
went out, leaving some crackers and
a pail of water for the prisoner. A
policeman passing the vacant house
yesterday morning heard groans is,
suing from the place, and on max,

"JUD1CIoUs ASSISTANCE

In the great conflict upon the
financial question the people have
not only to contend with the power
and influence of concentrated wealth,
but it appears that they will also be
confronted by the direct use of
money for the specific purpose OF
buying success for the gold-bug in
terests. Who says SO? The silver
ties? Not only they. Here are
some extracts from an editorial in
the New York Financial Chronicle, a
gold-bug paper, and we submit that
it is not stretching the blanket to
place the above inference upon the
suggestions contained therein. Read
and Judge for Yourself:
"There are elections in many States
this fall in which free silver coinage
will be the prominent issue. If can
dldates or nominations made favor
ing that view could be defeated it
would have a material and very
salutary effect on public opinion.
u0 SEE IN VI 5CfCl az ChAICo OOc1COc
Senators in the South are being con-
tested that might possibly be gained
for advocates of a stable currency by
a little judicious assistance on the
part of the North. We cannot vote
there, but WE CAN SEND MONEY"
"The question we want to ask
is, why should not the sound money
candidate in each State, the one who
appears to offer the best promise of
success, BE FURNISHED THE MEANS
FOR CONDUCTING HIS CANVASS"
1t is said that "an honest COMES
sion is good for the SOUL" but a
frank confession of a dishonest pur-
pose cannot claim this reward.
Going to buy the people of the
South, are they? Perhaps they will
not find the task as easy as they
think. The spirit OF patriotism and
devotion to principle which have
always been strong characteristics
of Southern people are still alive and
the proposition to make merchan-
disc of their convictions will be re-
ceived with scorn and contempt.
Yet, it is time when the people
should be on the alert and see that
only men who cannot be bought are
placed on guard.

THAT CORRUPTION FUND.

A few days ago we referred to the
suggestion of the New York Finan-
cial Chronicle, leading commercial
and financial journal with gol6-bue
proclivities, that money should be
used in the South in the advance
ment of the interests of the single
gold standard policy of Wall street
and other money centers.
1t appears that the Chronicle was
too frank to suit it's side of the house
in letting the cat out of the bag.
The New York Times says the publ
cation is ''ill-adyised' and that it
will be "misinterpreted and resented
in the South" 1t will be resented.
There is no doubt about that. But
how can such plain language al this
be misinterpreted:
1.-THE seats of several United States
Senators in the South are being con-
tested that might possibly be gained
for advocates of a stable currency
by A LITTLE JUDIClOUS ASSISTANCE ON
THE PART OF THE NORTH"
"We cannot vote there, but WE CAN
SEND MONEY"
"This action is made the more i'm
perative because there is A LACK OF
CAPITAL IN THE SOUTH"
These are extracts from the
Chronicles article. Can they mean
anything less than a deliberate pur-
pose to buy votes in the South?..
Referring to this matter, the At
lanta Constitution says:
"But there is nothing in the Finan-
cial Chronicles proposition for the
raising of an immense campaign
fund calculated to make any one
laugh. 1t is very serious piece OF
business in it's conception and pur-
pose. The Chronicle, knowing the
relative poverty of the South, adj
yises the millionaires of Wall street
and the east to take advantage of
it and raise a campaign fund large
enough to buy and forever silence
those who are opposed to the
British gold standard"
Observe how this editor, catering to
the selfish interests and desires of the
millionaire class, wantonly insults
the people of a whole section by in
sisting that because they are poor
they can be bought-by insisting
that men who have not made for
tunes along the lines OF spOilation
and plumber common to Wall street
and the shylock class, are ready TO
sell their principles to the highest
bidder.
1t is true that the Southern people
had tremendous losses during and
after the war. In the one item of
taxable personal property. com.
parison of the census of 1860 with
that of 1870 shows that the South
dollars-two thousand millions
What the people have lost since in
the falling price of cotton is incom
putable, but it amounts to thous-
ands of millions. This is not to be
denied. We do not deny that the
South is poor. What we do deny is
that the Southern people are ready
to sell their rights, their liberties
and their principles because they are
poor. They have had long fight
with poverty, but it has been an
honest fight. They are still fighting
against the overwhelming odds inn
posed on them by the British gold
standard. But they are not ready
TO sell themselves. They are not
to barter for money or for
any othermaterial consideration the
right of the people Of this republic
10 make and control their own
financial system independent of the
of Europe. :,
