wil he the question of finance-hones-money
or a cheat. The issue lias been
fairly joined in Ohio, and this is termed
.the entering wedge in the Presidential
election in 1380. . .
Just how or why any one should be led
off on such an issue in favor of inflation
is not apparent. We are well aware that
the glib-toogued greenbachers make a
very plausible speech to the farmers when
t i;y tell them that with a flood of me
.demable paper money they could get
larger prices for their produce, and it is
trim that thev could get larger nu..

countries have an irredeemable currency.
It is hardlv necessary to institute a com
mrinon between these countries to show
how very much better it is for the labor
insr classes where a sound currency is
. maintained.
The cry of hard times, perhaps, has
had much to do with giving followers to
the inflation vagaries. "Hard times,'
however, are not confined to any one
locality or country. In no country is
this stringency of times and general de
nressession felt more than in Russia and
Turk;.-, and certainly no advocate of ir
redeemable money could ask for a more
liberal issnanee of paper currency than is

difficult matter to enlarge wpon the
beauties of an unknown conntry, the
imagination can easily guild in bright
colors fancy sketches, and also point out
the ills of the known, but personal obser
vations and practical experiences are the
only sure tests. Twice in the history of
onr own country this test has been tried,
and in each instance worked disastrously
to working men.
With the experiences of the p.wi in our
own hind and the li,'hi of history to guide
tis, it seems s:range that any could be
found so raady to plunge into certain
diaster.
It is for the interest of the laboring
class that the medium of exchange should j
be constant and unvarying. In all the
business transactions and commerce of
the world, the producer is made to bear
the burdens. He pays the freights and
profits of trade, and so he pays the losses
sustained in the fluctuation of the cur
rency. Commercial dealers always make
marginal profits to provide against pos
sible loss in the fluctuations of mediums
of exchange. ;
That media in of exchange is best that
maintains a uniform value. Any medium
t.f exchange, other than the precious
metaishiuil depend upon the credit to
whieh it is en'itled by th commercial
ilul The precious metals have an
alia ail partaof the civilized
v orld.-and are not governed materially
Tvy the snpersc ipti.m thereon; not so with
a lper oirri ncy, the entire value of
which is governed by two considerations,
viz. : the superscription and the credit of
the endorser. The credit of the endorser
being the chief factor in the consideration
of paper currency it cannot be expected
that that credit should be unvarying.
National prosperity, like individual, is
ever changing, therefore that standard of
exchange should le established whicli ap
proximates raot nearly to permanency.
It is not essentia! that the medium of
ejtchanae should represent Sfreat numeri
cal value or that the quantity should be
great considered by measurement, either
a to weight or bulk. If thi3 feature of
the case were important if inflation is
the end sought, the letter way would lie
to change the dies at the government
mints. Let the silver dollar be reeoined
and made to read fifty dollars, and raise
other coins in proportion. If the im
print of national sovereignty is all that is
necessary to make money, the silver that
is in the American dollar could as easily
be made a thousand dollars as can a piece
of paper. All that would be necessary to do
would be to make the inscription read
one thousand instead of one. Were
this done, the consumer that now goes
with his silver dollar and buys a bushel
of wheat, would take the same piece of
silver, marked one thousand dollars, and
bgy" a bushel of wheat.; the ex
change ' would be the same in
kind, but different in name. In one
eae the farmer would be selling his
wheat for one dollar per bushel, in the
other he would be selling it for one
thousand dollars per bushel, but in both
instances for the same piece of silver, with
with a different superscription.
If this principle were true it would be
eminently proper to thus raise the nomi
nal value of our oins, tor the reason that
the heavier and more bulky the medium
of Exchange, the more objectionable it is, j

EX-GOV. BROWN OF MISSISSIPPI TIRED OF
PUOMISKS WrTHOfT JEHFORMASCKS.
F.x-Gov. A. O. Brow n of ilississippi has
written a long letter in response to the re
quest of some of the leading citizens of the
state. He says at the beginning that he is
m favor of subsidizing the Southern Pacific
railrrWd in both land and money tidpr pres
ent circumstances, explaining: "If e went
outside the constitution to bnild a northern
road, let ns stay out until we have built a
southern road." Tisonssing general polit
ical topic, he says:
There is in our polities to-day not only
too much partyism, but by long odds too
much sectionalism. I nev;r hear of a solid
South with bat feelings of horror. It rings
in my ears like a fire-bell at night. A solid
South suggests the idea of a solid Xorth. In
the name of all that is sensible, haven't w e
had enongh of sectional divisions, sectional
wars, sectional desolation? I appeal to you
as patriots to set your faces sternly against
this whole business. If you are not moved
by the loftier consideration of patriotism,
then I appeal to you as Southern men not to
allow yourselves to be drawn a second time
into a sectional conflict. I warn yon that
you will be beaten a second time, just as
you were the first. Franklin Tierce was not
the greatest of our presidents, but he was
among the purest. His solemn invocation
was: 'Let us have no North, no South, no
East, no AVest, nothing but a common coun
try and common brotherhood.' Oh: if that
advice had only been taken and faithfully-
adhered to, what seas of blood, what rivers
of tears, what agonizing prayers, what deso
lated homes would have been avoided, and
yet there are men, both North and South,
who, if they do not seek, certainly do not
labor to avoid, sectional divisions. Such di
visions are disastrous to the whole country,
and especially to the South. W'e have foand
ourselves unable to defend what we believed
to be our rights with bullets. We shall be
equally unable to defend them with ballots,
if we array a solid South airainst a solid
Xorth. And yet party men on both sides
seem willing to intensify sectional animosi
ties. If a Northern agitator waves the meta
phorical bloody shirt, a Southern hot-spur,
like a mad bull, feels called upon to charge
it instantly. This is not patriotism on either
side. It is simply partyism.
AVhat is the remedy liaise up a national
party, which, standing between these con
tending forces, shall repeat in tones of
thunder the advice of Franklin Pierce: 'No
North, no South, no East, no AVest, noth
ing but a common country and a common
brotherhood.' Surely, there ure non-partisans
euonyh in the country to organize and
; finally carry tat a movement like this. Tiieu

dawning of that season of prosperity which
all parties promise us, bat which no party
has brought us since the war. The party
slogan at the North, with men who would
keep alive sectional animosities for mere
personal purposes, is that government must
not be allowed t pass into the hands of
Confederate Brigadiers. The shibboie.h of
the South is Democracy. In its name we
must all stand together to keep the govern
ment out of the hands of the carpet-bagger
and 'niggers.'
"I have been looking a long time lor the
good time a-coming. I am getting weary.
The Democracy has had undisputed control
of the state government for nearly four
years. Has the condition of the country
been improved? Have taxes been reduced
in proportion to the ability of the people
to pay? Have salaries been rwdajed iu pio-:
portion to the laboring man's income? If
you think so, I x-an only say I differ with
you. nen 1 have ventured to enter a
mild protest against the manner in which
things were being done, 1 have been an
swered, 'Whoop up the Democracy! Any
man is traitor who don't stand by the nom
inee!' The nominees generally mean the
chosen of political tricksters. The traitors
are those who, not being in awe of the bull
dozers, choose to follow their own convic
tions rather than the command of self-appointed,
self-constituted, and self-organized
caucus dictation.

lie could not namo any particuliu' point
for a harbor of refuge that would benefit
commerce generally. Ships usually stand
off shore. In thick weather a sailor would
hardly dare to run to any given point,
Hanb White would take his chances by
running offshore. If a vessel is disabl
it will make from shore jjenorally. If if
is to windward of a good place,it may run
for it, if the exet position of the vessel is
known. From November to May the pre
vailing winds are from the southeast. In
the winter season two-thirds of the
weather north of Cape Fouhveather is
boisterous. South of that point the
weather is better. A pretty snug iiarbor
would have to be built in order to make
a secure harbor, owing to the ground
swell. Tho prevailing currents are from
the north, but in shore they often change
with the wind. Some of the cargo of the
wrecked Great Republic has been picked
upinPuget Sound. Fogs seem to clear up
first toward the north. The only benefit
that could be derived from a breakwater
would be gained only by the commerce to
that particular point, and would not bene
fit commerce senerallv. He was of the
opinion that by building a wall from Cape
Diss.jrfntment out along the sandbank at
the moil tli of the Columbia river, it would
throw the water into one channel and
throw the bar outside, and the greater the
distance from shore, the better could
vessel cross it. Tho depth of water, too
might be deepened. A vessel once across
would find good anchorage.
It would be possible to cross tho bar
about as often as tho bar at the mouth of
this harbor. Either Coos bay or Fort Or
ford could be made good harbors, but he
did not know who would go there.
Captain Gerard Debney, of the Califor
nia, was the next gentleman called, and
said that he thought a harbor was needed
on the Oregon coast. He would object
to Port Orford on account of a reef. The
harbor should be situated so that tugs
could go out to give relief. Sailing ves
sels often run out of the wind ingoing for
a harbor, and then needs tugs. The cap
tain has seen the swell bre:ik in fifteen
fathoms of water. If a harbor of safety
was located where tugs could not be used,
it would not be of much benefit, be

Mr. Shellabarger offered as evidence
the record of the Louisiana Home of
Representatives, January, 1877, showing
the appointment of a committee to iuves
tigate the charges of bribery in procuring
the election of Senator Kellogg, and their
report on the subject, showing according
to the testimony taken, that there was no
proof to sustain the charge.
After some discussion, the paper in
question, together with the record of the
Senate on the day of election, were ad
mitted as evidence.
Mr. Merrick questioned Mr. Gulehard,
Clerk of the Louisiana House of Ilepre

The New York Times says: In Penn
sylvania, as in Ohio, Democrats art using
Tilden's name to conjure with. Iu this
particular instance, however, it is the
man who first gets in the field that
claims Tildeu as his friend and backer.
There is something comical in the spec
tacle of a candidate for the Treasureship
of Pennsylvania rushing early into the
canvass with the assertion that he and
Tilden rise or fall together. Mr. Barr,
candidate for the Democratic nomination,
is the early bird in this ease, while his
tardy opponent, Mr. Walters, must needs
fall back on Senator Wallace for his pat
ron. It used to be said that as Penn
sylvania goes, so goes the Cnion. An
abolition of the October election has
changed all that. But people who want
to see how the Tilden and anti Tilden
wings of the harmonious Democracy will
fight it out between themselves, may re
gard the Pennsylvania contest with curi
ous interest.
The Kellog-Spofford contest for a seat in
the Senate says the Xew York Times, con
tinues to bring to the surface specimens of
humanity w hich, fortunately, seem to be
peculiar to Louisiana. Thomas Murray,
the colored witness, who was expected to
give such material aid to the democratic
side, finding that he had got himself into a
corner on Saturday, swore yesterday that
when he told an acquaintance he could make
2,500 out of the contest, he simply meant
to couvey the impression that he could im
prove his reputation to that extent by tell
ing the truth. Mr. Jules Seveigncs, another
interesting witness, who announced that he
was a whits man and of French extraction,
swore that he had been a member of the
Packard Legislature; had acted as President
of the joint convention which elected Sena
tor Kellogg, and had voted for him. Sub- j
sequently he was confronted with an affi
davit which he admitted having signed, and
in which he declared that he was not pre
sent when the Senator was voted for. He
was not at all disconcerted by this document.
On the contrary, he seemed to be quite well
pleased by its production, and swore with
the utmost coolness that it was a lie from
beginning to end, and that he knew it was
a he when he signed it. He informed the
committee, further, that he had been a party
to the preparation of the false affidavit for
the purpose of exposing fraud, and not in
the hope of sharing Mr, Spofford's salary,
which a number of Democrats assured him
he would do if that gentleman obtained a
seat in the Senate through his aid.
The fine gold-weighing scales made in
Philadelphia for the Xew Orleans mint are
marvels of mechanical invention and accu.
rate workmanship. They have a capacity of
10,000 ounces troy, or about 6SC pounds
avoirdupois, and, when loaded to full weight,
will indicate a variation of 1-1000 part of
an ounce. Another pair of scales is intended
for weighing gold only. It has bearings
composed of the finest agates, which have
been ground with wonderful precision. S
delicate is this machine that it will give the
Xirecise weight of a human hair, and is sus
ceptible to the slightest atmospheric changes.
Millions of dollars' worth of precious met
als will be weighed annually upon these
scales.

Frisb-, an Elder; the agent of Spofiord
bought his ticket for him to come here;
the witness said he was an inspector in
the Xew Orleans Custom House until the
4th of April last; he was in the Survey
or's department under Gov. Wells, but
was dismissed on account of a dispute
with Alexander Wells about the cargo of
ship llaytien: ariving here last night he
stopped with Elder, who now resides in
this city.
In response to a question by Judge
Shallabarger, the witness said Baker did
not say how he made money on Kellogg's
alecfion.
Mr. Cameron interrogated the witness,
who said that Gen. Frisby told him he
was wanted in Washington on the Kel.
logg Spofford case; Frisby said the wit
ness knew a great deal about it, and asked
him to go to his office, where they had a
conversation, telling the General what he
had related here to-day about Baker.
Finale. A. Colver was called by Judge
Shallabarger, and testified that as Chief
Minute Clerk he was present on the lOtl
of January, 1877, at the joint convention
that elected Senator Kellogg; Thomas and
Seveignes voted; he was equally certain
that Murray was in the hall when the
voting was going on, and could see
Thoma3 vote.
On cross-examination by Mr. Merrick,
the witness said he was appointed a
Supervisor of Registration in 1877 for the
Parish of East Baton Rogue.
Mr. Merrick asked him whether he did
not incorporate matter in the return of
the elections after it had been sworn to by
him. The witness replied in part, citing
the law, and saying that at Baton Rouge
he was intimidated and his life was threat
ened.
Mr. Merrick having pressed his ques
tions closely, the witness asked Mr. Mer
rick his name and Merrick told him. The I
witness then said he should answer in a j
becoming manner, but he did not propose
to be dictated to as to the character of his
answer. Ho asked the chairman to
mit him to answer intelligently.
Mr. Merrick And allow me, as an ex
aminer, to propound questions.
It appeared, on further examination,
that the witness, when he reached New
Orleans added new matter to the censoli
dated return of votes. Had it not been
for intimidation the document, would have
been completed at Baton Rouge.
J.J. Jonnson, colored, was re-called
by Shellabarger to refute the statements
of Cornog, a preceeding witness. He re
lated the particulars of a conversation
with Cornog before he came here. Cornog
wanted him to make an affidavit against
Kellogg, telling him he would get $200 or
500 for it; Corno? told him they could
then go to Colorado and disr cold. The
witness said must have 4,000 in hand be
fore he talk. He wanted to find out what
kind of a republican Cornog was.
On cross-examination by Merrick, the
witness said that when he was here before
he had the headache, and was bulldozed ;
he hd never been in a magistrate's office to
swear to anything; the affidavit with his
name was read by a gentleman in mixed
French and English.

It was very edifying, af we fave hereb

man for tho necessity of free elections.
Which, in Mr. Carlisle's opinion, most
threatens freedom of elections in New
York, the repeaters of Tammany Hall or
the army of the United States ? Or does
he suppose that the people of New York
are such fools that they do not know? Yet
this question is the one raised by the ex
tra session, and the Democratic view of it
is sustained by the old Calhoun argument
of state's sovereignty. The folly of the
Democratic policy is still further shown.
not only by its disregard of the vital fact
that the Calhoun doctrine of the Union
has been overthrown by a tremendous
war, but by the other equally vital fact
that the sentiment of nationality has been
so fostered and developed by the growth
of the country that it is now instinctive,
and every year make the appeal to state
pride and power, more and more puerile.
This national instinct, however, does not
discredit or belittle the fundamental
principles known a3 local self-government.
The power of the small district
and political community, the complete
State organization, civil, military and ju
dicial, making each State a water-tight
compartment adequate to float the whole
ship all this remains untouched, while
the supreme and immediate authority of
tne whole nation for its lawful ends over
every part of every State continues. To
try to represent this view as absorption
ami centralization and consolidation is as
hopeless as to attempt to show that the
existing statutes prohibiting military in
terference with elections authorize the
control of elections by bayonets. The
question is in a nutshell. The Jk

as to the result, and by mermng the body was

ter to be brought. He tested thin with thn
thermometer at thirty-two degrees Fahren

To Mr. Grant's objections Signor Eotnra as

Selecting one of the lambs, Signor Rotnra

into the other building, where a number of
shallow cemented tanks were in the floor,
having hot and cold water taps attached to
each tank, with a thermometer hancrinir
alongside. One of these tanks was quickly
tilled, and its temperature tested by the Sig

warm bath, and was allowed to remain in it
about twenty-three minutes, ita head being
raised above the water twice for the intro
duction of the thermometer into its month,
and then it was taken out and placed on its
side on the floor, Signor Rotura quickly divid
ing the wool on its neck and inserting a sharp
point of a small silver syringe under the skin
and injecting the antidote. This was a pale
green liquid, and, aa I believe, a decoction
from the root of the astracharlas, found in
South America. The lamb was then turned

Cateki'Illars. All along Bear creek,
near Ashland, the ash trees are being strip
ped of their foilage by caterpillars. No
other tree than the ash seems to have been
attacked yet, but these trees do not have a
speck of green left upon them when the
worms are done with them. We have heard
of one or two orchards down the valley be
ing infested with caterpillars, but whether
they are the same kind of worm we do not
now. The worms on the ash trees are
about an inch and a half long with a coat of
short fuzz or hair, and are as lively as crick
ets. As yet they have not gone far from the
creek, and seem to be following along its
course. Tidings.

Thus the succession of American triumphs
in European contests is mam tained, and tbns
the noble confidence in our capacity to whip
all creation is stimulated and strengthened.
A short time ago we felt good because an
American horse won a great race. That
was, after all, not so much of a victory as
the success of an American man, bnt in this
kind of thing all contributions are thankfully
accepted. The most refreshing result of the
Hanlon matter will, however, be the edito
rial comments of something less than a mil
lion newspapers, all saying that this is a
legitimate result of our free institutions and
glorious tariff or words to that effect. The
beauty of a triumph like this is that every
man feels it his duty to claim a share of.tne'

Shipping Flocr to Sax Francisco.
Some idea of the increase of business in this
valley which would follow the budding of a
railroad to the coast may be gained by con
sidering the following, which we take from
the last Bomber of the Boseburg Star: "Se -
eral of our millers in the southern part of
the county are shipping flour to San Fran
cisco. Marks Sideman & Co., of Canyon
ville, will ship 400,000 pounds. Hans Weav
er, of Myrtle Creek, has already sent for
ward 60,000 pounds and F. M. Gabbert
Co., of the same place, will also ship largely.
By forwarding flour instead of wheat, freight
expenses are much reduced and the increased
profit will inure to the benegj -of'our own
citizens and willjgarahf in the country.. We
nopejjT-enterprise may prove a success."

to show that there are rich deposit of
gold-bearing quarfas somewhere tip the
river. A great many prospecting parties
have gone up there in past years, and some
good leads have been discovered in the-
Quartzville country, but none on the
south fork of the river, on which the
richest deposits are supposed to be
located. A short time ago a Mr. Me
Quade and seyeral others prospected up

and forty miles from Sweet Home. Those
men have gone into it with pack animals "
and will bring out several hundred pound
of the rock, which ivill be sent to different
places for assaying. ' Gold will be found
in paying quantities on the Santiam, and
we hope those men have at last found the
"big lead."
