“ | Europe men of ~Weapons to combat eriemies 0 silver currency. Wlio adyoshtes of the latter-have 1 i reinforced by Edward BJeminent and justly renownSor of Geology in the Unibf Vienna. In a work-entitled uture of Gold,” - Prof. Suess he ground that the total gold fitiction of the earth will not be flicient in the ages that are not re- ‘ to supply. the demands of civilization. After reviewing the geological aspects sf the case he comes to the conelusion that more than half the quantity of gold that can' be extracted from the earth by methods now known has already been produeéd. The time when the production of gold will permanently diminish in* considerable proportions is ‘therefore relatively near. "As gold becomes more rare it ‘will be unable to maintain the funetions’ that bave been assigned to it, and it will have to be replaced by another metal. With silver on the other hand the case is quite difﬁerentf> Its deposits aré 50 numerous-afld so rich that its production will be abundant in the distant future. =Great progress can be made in the methods of obfaining it. In a time more or Jess remdte the extraction of gold in alluvial deposits ‘will cease while there will be a considerable increase of silver production in America. Hence Mr. Suess cannot approve of a policy tending to make .general 1n Europe the adoption of the exclusive gold standard, but maintains that in view of the relative scarceness of mines of gold it will be necessary to abandon that metal for use as mon= ey. L

- The above is but a meagre outline of Prof. Suess’ exhaustive freatment of the gold question. His essay has attracted wide attention here and abroad, and his statistical facts and logical de‘ductions are universally conceded to be ‘unanswerable. A writer in D’Econo‘miste Francais,although differing with Suess’. views, admits that his work stands on a level with the industrious works of Humboldt, full of new matter in the history of precious| metals, profound in research, and brilliant in the manner in'.which it deals with this grave problem of the money relations of silyer and gold. ~ - In our next issue we will give a more elaborate review of Prof. Suess’ essay. {iis :

‘PROSEC;UTION OF WELLS & CO. A good deal of excitement has been occasioned by the indictments found ‘against the mémbers of the Liouisiana Returning Board for the frandulent and corrupt manipulation of the election returns of that eommonwealth. Irascible republican politicians denounce these indictments as an evidence of “bad faith” and as an indieation on part of the Louisiana officials of a purpose to “persecute” republican officials for past conduet. Gov. Nicholls is being beseeched to interpose against the punishment of Wells & Co. - ~to pledge -himself to an immediate pardon’of the criminals after their conviction. ;

~ Itissingular indeed that men should ‘allow partisan feeling to draw them .into such an anamolous posit%ﬁ.—-— ‘Shall high-handed fraud and deliber~ ate falsification go unpunished? Are ‘perjured officials to go scot free under ‘a government based upon popular suffrage, against the supremacy of which ‘they -conspired? It cannot be. Yet ‘such is the demand of those who denounce the prosecution of Wells and his fellow conspirators. - We say, emphatically, push these prosecutions to the bitter end. -Let the people have all the facts connected with the case. If the charges are founded upon facts, the guilty parties should be dealt with as the law proyides, regardless of consequences, If ‘nofsusceptible of proof;the accused and othérs affected by their action, should receive the full benefit of a complete exoneration. ' L b ' THE DISAFFECTED. e

A Fourth of July celebration was arranged in the small town of Woodstock, Connecticut, by the well-known publisher of the N. Y. Imdependent, Henry C. Bowen. The orators of the day were Jim Blaine, ex-Gov.:D, H. Chamberlain, late of South Carolina, and Frof. Northrop, of Yale. Blaine rdevoted most of his time to. offering a protest against the alleged scheme for/the annexation of Mexican territory, stirring. up sectional animosiﬁ; inistration for abandoning &:m ‘publiean State ‘governments of South Carolina and Louisiana, charging ‘it with faithlessness to the constitution ‘and a disregard.of the platform upon which Mr. Hayes stood as a candidate for the Presidency. ‘He was very se'vere in his denunciation of the administration. .

, The Fourth of July at Rome City was a magnificent affair. In point of numbers it was by far the largest ever’ held in this place and perhaps the largest celebration ever held in the county. On the question of speakers we .were at first unforfunate, but in the end eminently successful. Brick Pomeroy, the principal orator, was absent in the South on.a lecture tour and could not get home in time to come. Hon. H. C. Fox, of Richmond, failed to respond to the very ui'gent _rexiuést, and for which failure up to the present time he has failed to Fiveareason. Hon. J. B. Stoll, of Ligonier, was unfortunately taken sick and could not 'be with us. Col. W. C. Williams, of Albion, who. had positively promised tto be with us, failed to attend, and ‘chose rather to remain with his own people and address a small crowd in the court-house than to ecome: to Rome and'talk to the acres of people. Buf fortune favored us with speakers /in the persons of Col. I. B. McDonald, of Columbia City, and Rev. John Paul Jones, of Lagrange. Col. McDonald in a truly patriotic ‘eration held the ‘multitudes spell-bound for about three quarters. of an hour. ‘He was frequently saluted with cheering and clapping of hands. After the Col. took his seat the Rev. J, P. Jones was loudly called and came forward, and for a few moments made one of his most able and successful efforts. The good effect and fitness of these orations cannot well be deseribed on. paper but should have been heard in order to be ,appreciated. ' 'The crowd numbered ‘from five to.seven thousand persons. It was a union of States. Seven car loads came from Van Wert,i Ohio.— Large delegations from Michigan were here, and furnished the balance. The Hoosiers came as they had been invited by notice heretofore received in Toe BANNER. They came in buggies } and in wagons. They came on horse‘back and on foot, at an unusual early ‘hour of the day. The town, the park and the lake seemed to be a mass of living humanity. Dancing was con‘tinually going on .at the hall in the park as well as at the hall at the Lake ‘Side House. A general good time was ‘participated in and enjoyed by all.— Not_the least”disturbance and not a single accident happened during the ‘day and evening. All unité in saying that it was one of the most enjoyable ‘celebrations ever held in Northern Indiana. We gave due notice heretofore that we were going to have a big time, and those whe failed to attend have nobody to blame but themselves. ILet all learn hereafter that when Rdme celebrates it will be no “side show.”

Notwithstanding it was understood that our celebration was to be on the pic-nic style, the -Lake Side House fed over eight hundred persons on that day, and for want of capacity could not accommodate all who called. It is generally conceded that Hobson’s Rome City Band is seldom equaled and cannot be excelled for first class' dancing music, as all who attended the dance at the hotel on the Fourth will eheerfully bear witness. It is next to impossible to keep yourself still when you are in hearing of shat music. = | v S The park will be dedicated to: the servicp of God for the first time on Sunday, July 22d, 1877, at 1034 o'clock, .+ Rev.

THE WIND’S DOINGS. Pensaukee, Wis., Destroyed by a . Huxrieane, € Porsons Killed Outright by Falling Walls and Flying Prngmqn 4 PﬁNSAUkEE, Wis., July 9.—A tgrnado passed over Pensaukee about :30 on Saturday evening, destroying the Gardner House, mills, stores, and dwellings. The depot buildings were blown down, and the bridge moved about six to eight inches out of line. Six lives were lost at Pensaukee, and one up the river. The width of the tornado was not more than 1,000 feet, and was all over in gbout two minutes. The Northwestern Railroad Company’s property is damaged to the extent of $3OO. G

Memories of the hurricane of fire which swept away Peshtigo in 1871 were painfully revived by the news that Peshtigo’s neighbor, Pensaukee, had been visited and’ demolished by a tornado. > bl

Pensaukee was a prosperous lumbering town’ in Oconto county on the shore of Green Bay.' For, years has been the most productive source of supply to the lumber yards of F. B. Gardner & Co., Chicago. = The principal industries of the place’ were the property of that company,’and consisted of a large saw-mill, a planingmill, g grist-mill, and machine-shogg. A perfect little gem of a hotel, a model of beauty and comfort, was erected by F. B. Gardner a few years ago. It was of solid brick walls, finished elegantly, and supplied throughout with water appliances and gas-fixtures, and furnished in a luxurious manner rarely looked for outside of cities. A tornado struck the place about a quarter of 7 o’clock Saturday night, destroying all these, together with most of the dwellings of the place and a large amount of valuable lumber. Six lives were lost, and u large number ‘more or less seriously wounded. Fortunately the mills had -all shut down about an hour before, and the large. number of employes had gone-to’ their homes, thus escaping what would otherwise have been certain death.

The fury of the wind can hardly be described. Some-instances of its dreadful power are related. The mammoth ‘mills were laid flat like so many jackstraws; cows were liffed bodily and ‘carried through the air for rods., Immense saw-logs were lifted out of the water and thrown high and dry en the bank. Lumber piles were scattered like dandelion gossamer. The sfeamer John Spry, lying in the harbor, was stripped and gutted, and the bare hull left with no ornament but-its engine. Houses were carried into the streets, and others turned completely around. A man and child were blown through the air and dropped into the river to drown. The brick walls of the hotel crumbled like dust, and the eccupants miraculously escaped with their lives. The greater part of the building is left standing, but it is an unsightly wreck, and a good deal isleft in a tottering condition.' A large book of accounts was carried from the company’s store into the third story of the hotel and blown clean through a- six-inch partition. | 2 i =

The loss to property can scarcely be estimabed, though it will exceed $lOO, 000.: The loss on the saw-mill is over $15,000; on planing-mill, $8,000; on grist-mill, $8,000; on store and goods, $2,500; dwellings, $5,000; the company’s barns,sl,2oo; school-house,sl,ooo; boats and scows, $1,5600. On the hotel the loss will not fall short of $30,000. There was 870,000 feet of choice lumber piled in the yards, most of which is totally destroyed. ‘The two bridges which spanned the Pensaukee were carried away. .~ ' Horses, cattle, and poultry are scattered in every direction, killed.

The tornado took in a number of small towns to the northwest of Pensaukee, among them Coulardsville, 17 ‘houses demolished, and a Belgian settlement totally deggroy'ed, : . Pensaukee was visited yesterday by thousands of people from neighboring towns, in most of which organized efforts is-being made tosend relief to the sufferers. . Sl

: AT THE EAST, : PoueHkEEPSIE, N. Y., July 9th—A " heayy storm of wind and rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, passed over this section this atternoon. In the town of Hyde Park three barns belonging to John Gilbert were blown down. The damage to fruit and growing crops was heavy. East of here the storm was very. severe. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 9th.—A tornado occurred at Westfield this afternoon. It came eastiward through the gorge of the Westfield River, and widened to half a mile, felling trees, scattering fences, and - demolishing buildings, until its force was expanded. It first struck the wall of the Salmon Falls paper mill, rebuilding from the recent fire, which fell, crushing in the engine house, containing two mén, one of whom wasseriously hurt, Two men plowing saw the storm coming, and attempted to reach a barn near by.

With the fraudulent and forged returps from. this pmgb fhe case will be ogened. and 1t is likey that it will be continued so as to cover the fraud and forgery. practiced in all the twenty-four parishes, wherein mmggm:x eleven thousand 'democratic votes were obliterated in the final count: In the case of Wells.and Kenneér,bail was fixed at $5,000 each. Up toAhis hour Anderson and Casa‘nave have notsurrendered themselves. This arrest has aroused the wrath of the Republieans here, who loudly com: plain that .th»is.’i% a special -violation of the agreemenf not to punish the Republicans for past political offenses. It is generally understood that Nicholls deprecates this action. s _ln the pending trial there will be many startling faets which Morrison’s committee here and Field’s in ‘Washmgton failed to elicit, as then a hope of the permanent establishment of the Packard government effectually sealed the mouths of certain important witnesses, who are now expected to respond with more alacrity. It is reported that important communications have been forwarded from the capital to-day concerning this legal proseeution. These reports are discussed by the city press. The views of the Democrat reflect the sentiments of the community concerning Hayes’ attitude te thig~ease when it says: “It is a matter w-§ @1 which the President. has no concernt and which he has no right to endeavor to influence. The Grand Jury of the parish of Orleans is the supreme -authority here, and if any member of that body should be influenced by the President or by any: one or anything else than the facts and the law, he will himself ecommit the crime of perjury.” From thetone and temper of the people here, and especially of the oficials who have this matter under their direet charge, it is safe to say the public, when the trial opens, | will be treated to some startling revelations. 'Coneerning the manipulation of the electoral vote of Louisiana, State Senator J. Henri Burch—Hayes eldector—was arrested Tuesday evening last. and imprisoned for embezzling the school funds of his: district. He was to-day remanded to, the custody of the Sheriff of East Baton Rouge, and will be tried there.— Burch sought a release under a.writ of habeas corpus, but failed. It isunderstood that the evidence is ‘strong enough for an immediate penal convietion. % ;

MoRTON’S senatorial committes is ‘at present engaged in investigating the charges against Senator (late Governor) Grover of Oregon. The investigation is being condticted at Portland, Oregon. Itisalleged that Grover procured his election to the Senate by the use of money, but so far nothiti‘giof a damaging character has been brought tolighte 1o investization was doubtless instituted with a view to damaging the reputation of Grover and as a means of revenge for giving Cronin a certificate as one of the presidential electors of Oregon. Since the committee, however, has entered upon its work, we hope it will make a thorough job of the investigation. =

The Missouri river has often been called the big muddy, but it ‘certainly ought to be known as the “great destroyer,” - Every year it ruins hundreds of acres of splendid land, by eutting through projecting points and thus making a new channel. Thelast exploit of this kind oceurred at Omaba last Sunday. Directly opposite the city the river succeeded, after two years hard work, in making a channel which is two miles shorter than the old one.

The Russians make similar charges against the Turks with reference to the Bulgarian Christians. ; e It is understood that advices have been received of military preparations throughout Austria ona larger scale than has hitherto been made public. The assertions of special correspondents ‘at Vienna, coupled with the re port of Baron Calices’ mission to the British Government, give the impression that active diplomatic efforts are making between England and Austria to establish a basis for joint action.

. Bhe victories of the Turks in ‘Asia Minor are all the more remarkable from the fact that letters written by correspondents in that region have desm':gd the Turkish troops as illofficered and half starved, a heterogenous rabble, united only on the single point of devotion to Mohammedanism. Either the correspondents erred, -or the Turkish. soldiers must be men of wonderful endutgnce and valor, lacking'only a Mohammed the Congueror to make them invincible. A Sti. Petersburg dispateh announces that a Turkish fleet has commenced the bombardment of Eupatoria, siuated on the west coast of the Crimea, about seveaty miles north of Sebastopol. It isa city of about 10,000 in‘habitants; and a place of considerable trade. The'old fortifications are not of a very commanding order, but it is to be presumed, from the exposed situation of the large harbor, that defensive works have been built since the opening of hostilities. The latest war news indicates the early fall of the Turkish power; both in Europe and Asia. The Russians have crossed the Danube and overrun Bulgaria. The Turkish exchequer is gettinglow. Constantinople is in a reign of terror and a general massacre of Christians—which means everybody not Mohammedan—+is expected. In Asia the Russians are still operating against Karsand have been concentrating before Ardahan, which they will recapture before many days.

Both Russia and Turkey are running the paper currency mills. Riussia, according fo the dispatches, has put out its curremcy to the extent of $120,000,000 since the opening of the war; and Turkey, which has been putting it out for a half year, has just authorized an additional issue of $430,000,000 The war will leave a tremendous legacy of debt to the powers engaged in it; and the people will ‘have to pay the debt. It is not the Czar and the Sultan who will pay it. Along the Turkish lines things are becoming mixed. Just beyond the camp of the contending armies, Bulgarian and Circassian Tartars are cutting %ch‘%ther’s throats with commendable pertinacity; Ruchdi Pasha has been placed in control of military affairs at Constantinople, because he can control the people.when it shall be determined that further resistance is useless; Abdul Kirim Pasha has called for 70,000 more men, and is liable to lose his official head far the demgld. _ "By the capture of Tirnova, the Russians gained possession of the Schipka Pass through the Balkans, and their evident intention is an advance upon Adrianople, thus threatening Constantinople and Shumia. It was in anticipation of this action. that the British fleet was sent to Besika Bay, and troops are now in readiness for embazkation to Egypt to await the action of the Czar. London correspondents telegraph that there is every prospect now that England will take a decisive step. Her attitude has been warlikel for months, and the disrespect paid her position by St. Petersburg has at length forced her to carry out her threats or recede. Her declaration of war may now be expected any day, and with her entrance upon the scene a complete change of European politics will make strange bedfellows of some of the sovereigns.
