1t was only few years until an
opportunity came for young Posey to
lead a soldiers life. A general war
had broken out along the entire west

tions, one under command of the Brit
ish colonial governor of Virginia, Lord
Dunmore. and the other under Gen.
Andrew Lewis. a veteran Indian fight

who had been waging a relentless war
fare upon the scattering settlements of
Virginia and Pennsylvania. Posey was
attached as quarter master to the COM
mand of Gen. Lewis.
The plan OF campaign contemplated
union of the two forces at the mouth
of the kenawha river. Dunmore was
to lead his force of Virginia militia to
Pittsburg and then to proceed down
the Ohio to the mouth of the Ken
awha. Gen. Lewis was ordered to lead
his army from the Virginia frontier
across the Alleghanies. 200 miles
through trackless forest. to the Juno
tion OF the kenawha with the Ohio
and from there crushing blow was to
be dealt to the Indian tribes north of
the great river Lewis and his men
surmounted all the obstacles of the
way and in due time reached the point
of rendezvous.
But Dunmore was not there. The

OF descending the Ohio. had marched

Lewis. with less than n thousand raw

was that the suspicion OF British du-
pliclty was confirmed in the colonial
mind. for while Dunmore had won the
good will Of the savages. they cherish.
ed with a growing hatred the memory
Of the dead left on the field Of Point
Pleasant.
The next year was 1875. and Poscy
entered with enthusiasm into prepara

captain In the regular service, and soon
raised a company. which was incor.

CAGES CURRENCY PLAN.
To Be Submitted in a Bill to the
House Committee.
EMBODIED IN ONE MEASURE.

The Recommendation WIN Not BE
Presented in Number of separate
Bns. Much to the satisfaction OF
Members OF Congress.
Washington. Dec. 15.-secretary Gage
win appear before the house commit
tee on banking and currency tomorrow
and submit to them. in the form of a
general bill. his recommendations re-
Gently made TO congress. The determi-
nation of Secretary Gage to submit
one general financial bill. instead of a
number Of separate bills. brought out
many expressions of satisfaction. IL
had the effect Of clearing up a situation
which was becoming strained, and
gave promise OF an early report to con-
gress on financial bills.
The understanding was reached as a
result Of visit to the capitol of the
solicitor Of the treasury, Mr.. Connell,
representing Mr.. Gage. He talked with
a number of Republican leaders, and
It Is understood was advised by Mr..
Dipgley and others that &c would be
desirable to embrace financial subjects
in one general bill Later the solicitor
met Chairman Walker and other mem
bers of the committee on banking and
currency, and a general conference was
held as to what should be done
it was made known that MIR. Gage
preferred TO let the subject so over un-
til after the holiday recess. The COM
mittee urged however, that 1t desired
to take the Gage bill and also that sub
mitted by the monetary conference
under consideration during the holi-
days, I'm order to be in position to re-
port progress when the house recon
vened after the recess. It was decided
therefore, that Mr.. Gage should submit
his measure on Thursday and appear
in person to explain and argue its
merits and answer questions from the
committee. 1t was also made clear that
the secretary would cover all his pro-
posals in one general bill, instead of
cutting the subject up.
This arrangement gave general sat
isfaction, and having accomplished this
much the members of the committee
oanvassed the course they would take
as to making an Immediate report tC
the house on currency questions. II
was decided that the first thing TO be
done was to report a bill embodyiui
the three features recommended by tn,
president viz, a reduction of the taS
on circulation to one-haf of ! per cent
the issuance of circulation up TO Tn,
par value of bonds deposited. and tn,
establishment of small banks i'm rura
communities.
While these win be embodied i'm the
Gage plan, VI as they were specially
advised in the presidents message, il
was felt to be advisable TO give the
house the opportunity of acting on
them at once, without waiting for the
report on the Gage bill. For the same
reasons the fun committee win be
asked to report on the presidents plans
at once. The draft of bill has been
prepared by Mr., Brosius. of Pennsyl.
vania, and this was given to the solic-
itor of the treasury, who is to return
it in time for action by the commit
tee, with such suggestions as the treas
ury authorities may wish TO make. AS
to the comprehensive Gage bill this
/ and the monetary conference bill will
/ be gone over with care during the
! holidays.

Free From
Rheumatism.

If the people generally knew the true
cause Of Rheumatism, there would be
no such thing as liuiments and lotions
for this painful and disabling disease.
The fact Is, Rheumatism is a disordered
state of the blood--it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood. But
all blood remedies cannot cure Rheuma-
tism, for it is an obstinate disease, one
which requires a real blood reMeay--
something more than a mere tonic.
Swift's Specific is the only real blood
remedy and promptly goes to the very
bottom of even the most obstinate case.
Like all other blood diseases, the
doctors are totally unable to cure Rheu-
matism. In fact, the only remedies
which they prescribe are potash and
mercury, and though temporary relief
may result, these remedies produce a
stiffness of joints and only intensity the
disease. Those who have had experience
with Rheumatism know that it becomes
more severe each year.

THE DEMOCRATS CAUCUS
Minority Members Of the National
House Define Party Policy.
REPUBLICAN, FINANCIAL PLANS

WIN Meet with Determined Opposi-
tion on the Democratic side-Caucus
Unanimously Decides 10 Favor Gu
ban Recognition Resolution.
Washington, Dec. 15.-The caucus OF
Democratic members of the house of
representatives last night resulted in
the adoption of resolutions defining the
party policy on the questions OF cuba.
finance and bankruptcy. The caucus
was largely attended, 101 of the 1876
Democratic members being present, de-
spite the stormy weather. Represent
ative Richardson, OF Tennessee. acted
as chairman, and Representatives Cum
mings of New York and Cowherd Of
Missouri as secretaries.
Representative Bailey. of Texas took
the initiative by presenting the follow
ing series of resolutions:
Resolved, That in the sense of this
caucus that the Democratic members
Of the house of representatives ought to
resist all efforts. direct or indirect, to
retire the greenbacks and treasury
notes.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
and will resist all attempts to extend
the privileges of the national banks,
or to reduce the taxes which they now
pay.
Resolved. That we favor the early
consideration and passage Of the sem
ate resolution recognizing that a con-
ditlon of war exists in the Island Of
Cuba between the government of Spain
and the Cuban people.
Resolved, That we favor the early
enactment of just and wise bank
ruptcy law.
The first three features of the reso-
lutions, on finance and Cuba, were con-
sidered separately. the discussion being
vigorous and unanimously favorable,
Mr.. Bailey made the main speech, urg-
ing that Democratic members should
take their position promptly against
| those financial movements now assum-
! ing formidable dimensions owing to the
| recommendations given to them by the
! president and secretary of the treas
| ury. He also spoke for a clear cut po-
! sition in favor of the recognition of
| Cuban belligerency, as embodied in the
| Morgan resolution, which passed the
! senate during the extra session. There
] was not a dissenting voice to Mr..
Bailey's propositions, and the first three
! resolutions were carried by a unani-
nous vote, the result being received
1 with hearty cheers.
The fourth feature of the resolutions,
declaring for a just and wise bank
ruptcy law, met with some opposition.
Mr.. De Almond, of Missouri, argued
that it was not expedient for the party
to take a position favorable to a bank
ruptcy bill at this time. The resolu-
tion finally prevailed by large major
ity.
