To thn Etlit'trs Crt'irfir!.-cilli' .Jiiuruol: •'Humanity is always a marked characteristic of an intelligent and thoroughly educated individual. Frequently this distinctive trait of generous tolerance involves such individuals in terril.»le mistakes—they spare the rod and spoil the child. Failing to remember that man is made up of the gorilla as well as the God, they attempt to restrain and overawe the gorilla by means of the divine clement. The noble humanitarian's ears drowns the war of the brute amid the stillness of 'dove one another." malice towards none, charity towards all.*'
This is tiie best individual specimen of the age. The age reflects in one of its aggregates this hightoned phiianthrophy. Moving parallel with the representatives of the brute are the cohorts of man's better self. We shall not mistake the oracular voice when we dechue the Republican prrty to be made up of these better clemcnts. As a party it contains those of tils' most sterling honesty, truthfuines and gentlemanhood. "We assert without fear of contradiction that no other party has such military genius, political eloquence and talent, or the truest philosophy. j:As a corrollary we dare to allege that of women, it embraces the purest and noblest. What then do we deprecate in the Republican party We fear that it will be too much enamored of its worth, and carry its Christian phiianthrophy too far. We urge that it be not smitten with the plague of leniency. Leniency such as we have had ought to be called faintheartedness. It has already sacrificed the peace of the South in the name of this noble principle. Let us be careful lest thinking that -right without "might," must always triumph, we suffer the fate of the Girondists. We are called to act a hii*h part in this

Do not suppose that gentleness will appease men, brutal and unscrupulous, men who chuckle over all concessions yet will be satisfied witli nothing but the breaking up of Our grandest of Republics. Love of the public good calls upon us. as a party, to make room for liberty in the South.

We quote the annexed paragraphs from the eloquent and powerful: speech made lnr Hon. R. B. Carnhan. at Steuben ville, on Saturday last:
It is said that full value yvas not paid for these bonds. What yva* given was accepted as full value, and in fact those sold in 18(51 and in 1862 were purchased with coin or its equiv- 5 alent, The war actually began iiv April, 1801. Until February, 1852, the paper currency was at par with gold. From that period until Jul}', 18fi2. the premium on gold ranged from one to five per cent, From July. 18G1. to January, I860, the average premium yvas per cent., prices had not yet become inflated, and the paper currency yvas practically the equivalent of coin. ..
During these twenty four months of tiie war, a large portion of the bonds were sold, including 8250,000,000 authorized by the act of Kith of July, 18(51. and the $500,000,000 5-20s of February 25th, 1862. All of these yvere paid for in gold or its practical equivalent. In 1 e(3, the average premium of gold was 4Si per cent., and in
INC-L
102a-. Of course the loss in
discounts to the Government was very great, or. rather, tho loss of the citizen yvas great. But the act of Congress of March 3, 1861, authorizing the issue of 8200,000.0000 of bonds, called the 10 40s speeifically provides for their payment in coin. You. will observe that the bonds issued when the "greenbacks" yvere at the lowest figure, are expressly made payable in coin. Does not this show that the United States intended to preclude any doubts as to how and in what currency the bonds should be paid

TI»e Oatllt' Disease.
A statement of the facts concerning the Texas cattle disease, made by J. R. Dodge, Statistican of the Department of Agriculture, at Washington, as the result of an extended investigation, makes the following points: First, that the disease is communicated by cattle from Texas, Florida and other portions of-the Gulf coast second, that such disease is itself unknoyvn in Texas or on the Gulf coast third, that the cattle ccpi municating it are not only apparently healthy put generally improving in condition fourth, that while local herds receiving the infection nearly all die, they never communicate the disease to others fifth, that either a considerable increase in elevation at a distance of two or three degrees of latitude from the starting point is neeessary to develop the veins into activity and virulency, and a progress of two degrees of latitude, and a few yveeks in time are sufficient to eliminate the poison -from the system sixth, that Texas -cattle removed to other miasmatic sections, as the Mis*sissippi bottoms, up to the 16th parallel, communicate no infection to local herds seventh, medication has thus far been of no avail. It coneludes that the disease cannot become general that it can exist only with the movements of Texas cattle—which should lie regulated or suppressed, and that it does not result from travel, but from climatic causes.
The Bramlctte and Butler Dcbiite. ii
The most interesting event of
the
campaign in this locality, was the
de

Re
publicans considered Buttler's victory complete and overwhelming, yvhile many Democrats do not deny that side yvas yvorsted. It is not our custom, as our readers of both parties can testify, to belittle the speeches or
the
onventions of the Opposition.
But
with Saturday night's proceedings ,ve do not fiesitate to express our most abundant satisfaction. Mr. Butler is the mental superior of Gov. Bramlette, and their speeches yvill show it. All the figures read by the Republican champion yvere from recognized authority. His statements yvere clear and full, and his exhibits accurate to the dollar. His quotations of Democracy were from
the
print, and undeniable/ His facts
were
history, regardless of partizanahip. His language yvas good," and his speeches as a whole, were lucid, argumentative, and dignified.—Attica Ledger.
