GEN. BRINKERIOFF, of Mansfield; one of the most outspoken and radis cal hard money men of Ohio, expressed himself decidedly in favor of the repedl of the Sherman resumption act, at the recent session of the Bankers’ Convention'in New York.- The General is a practical financier, and as such is oij).p})se_d to bankrupting the business meirof the country to gratify the Shylocks of the Bast.- .

For eléut or ten year the Roth: schilds have practically dictated the financial:-policy of outr government.—It was at their instance that the act of 1869 was passed, and it. was' their $509,000 gold which secured the demonetization of the silver do}lar in 1873, Since these facts have become generally understood, there is a loud demand for a change, and we believe this demand must in time be respected or there’ll be trouble! . * :

MONDAY LAST was the ninetieth an- " niversary of an interesting event in . American history, for on the 17th of . Septembéer, 1787, the convention as'sembled at.

-THE HAPPIEST and most forcible illustration of Hayes’ southern policy is that which the President himself gave a reporter of' the Cincinnati Times, and which is reproduced on the first page of this week’s BANNER, In fact, it is the most plilosophical and patriotic utterance that has come under our observation since his inauguration. A thoughtful perusal thereof carries us back to the time when the lamented Horace _Greeley electrified the country by his singularly eloquent speeches in favor of pacification and reconciliation.

_ BRIGHAM YOUNG&, the dead Mormon prophet, left an estate estimated to be worth two million dollars. His will seems to be a very just one regarding the division of the estate between his numerous family. It provides that his seventeen wives, sixteen sons, and ‘twenty-eight idaughters, shall each share equally, the division to be made when his youngest child (seven years old) comes of age, the income of the estate in the meantime to be divided pro ra;a amongf the wives, according to the number of their ¢hildren, each wife being granted power to withhold the ghafe therein of any of her children who may prove unworthy in any respect. i S T i

‘CONGRESSMAN WALLING, of the Columbus (Ohio) District, spent a few days in Washington city last week. During his stay he gave it as his opinion that John G. Thompson is goiug to be Sergeant-at-Arms, and that he is managing the Ohio campaign right, well. But there is very little interest in politics among the voters of his district;, and he thinks the same is true of the whole State and of both parties. The people have had a surfeit of politics of late. e thinks both parties have good, strong tickets in the State and in Hamilton county.

PROPOSED ABOLITION OF: THE.

_ A contemporary, i discussing this proposition, says “the fact that propo“sitions like this are beginning to “find favor among the people simply A /pro,ves that there exists a belief that “the present form of government can“not continue to endure the strain of “the exercise of extra-constitutional “power to which republican adminig-

“trations have from time to time re“sprted. llad the democratic idea of “a strict construction of the constitu*tion continued to obtain, no such tin“kering of the form of governnient “ would have been thought of.” To a certain extent this is correct; but the proposition to abolish the Presidency is by 1o means of recent orgin. Such a scheme has been on the tapis for a good many vears, and has had its-ad-vocates. in every locality: where that Radical of Radicals, Carl-leinzen, had or has a following. Over in Detroit thiere is a small numbeér of “reformers” who every four years vote a “No President” ticket, and a like performance is occasionally witnessed at Indianapolis. It is hardly worth one’s time to devote much attention to the seheme, for the simple reason that it is generally regarded a barren ideality.

" COALITION IN OHIO. - The Workingmen and the Greenbackers of Ohio- have effected a consolidation. The former, numbering about 150 delegates who were dissatisfied with the workingmen’s tickets some weeks since nominated at Cincinnati, met at Columbus last Thursday. The executive committee of the (Greenback party was present, and in a secret meeting with the m"anagei's of the Workingmen’s party it was agreed to form a-coalition, it being distovered that the views of both parties on financial questions were 80 vague that there would be no°clashing of opinions. Accordingly the convention accepted the Greenback nominee for Governor, Stephen Johnson, of Miami, and filled out theticket with men of their own choice. The platform demands the payment of United States bonds at maturity according to the laws under which they were issued, the remonetization of silver, the rePeal of the resumption act, non-secta-rian schools, governmental supervision of corporations, and a'graduated income tax, - It declares it to be the government’s prerogative to issue such paper mogey as may be needed, and therefore- demands the repeal of the national banking law. The best thing ‘these men can do now is to quistly vote the demoeratic ticket 'and thus defeat their worst enemies, the followers of John Sherman. ' e

- ABOUT two.weeks ago the treasurer of Auglaize county, Ohio, Mr. Lewis Myers, was found tied and gagged in his office in. Wapakoneta, early in the morning. ‘The safe had been opened, and ,$27,000 in public money taken. Myers said he had been seized by four masked ruffians, who threw a blanket over his head, and, with' a gag in his mouth, conveyed him in their arms, to his office, where they compelled him by torture to open the safe, after which they carried off“the money. This story was believed by the villagers, who had suchk implicit confidence in the honesty of*fi}Myers that a hint of his complicity ¢alled out threats of violence. The Commissioners immediately offered a reward of $5,000 for the robbers and money, to which Myers subsequently 'addjéd;s2,ooo; A cool-headed detective took hold of the case, and a result of his work is the arrest of Myers as the thief.

THE SILVER QUESTION was elaborately discussed duting Thursday’s session of the Bankers Convention. The principal feature of the proceedings was a long and carefully prepared address* by Hon. W. 8. Groesbeck, in which he advocated the remonetization of silver, holding that a greenback legal-tender ‘was unconstitutional; that silver, as a standard of value, had greater stability than gold, and that there was nothing in exisfing laws to forbid & return to the double standard, Mr. Groesbeck’s powerful arguments completely staggered the champions of an exclusive gold standard, none of whom had the capacity to cope with the distinguished Cincinnatian. " The truth is, these worshipers of ‘he golden calf cannot mvaintain their position anywhere when pitted against a-well-informed,advocate of silver remonetization. ' '

- THE TENOR of the press plainly Indicates a strong popular sentiment in favor of a change of our financial pol‘iey, so as to diminish the amount of bonds held in. Europe and place a larger proportion in the hands of our own péople. The demand for twenty dollar 3:65 or 4 per eent. bonds is be‘ecoming quite, general, and Congress will no doubt be strongly urged to auf thorze the issue of such popular loan certificates at it next session. The -masses begin to see the bad effects of ‘having our national bonds held prin--cipally by European capitalists who ‘have assumed to manage the financial policy of this country during the past of our own people, and the demand il over the Jand is for & change.

Stanley Heard From.

; At last Stanley looms up again; this time on the west coast of Africa. His sufferings during his long journey across the ‘continent have been terrible. During .a portion of his march he was surrounded by cannibal natives.;who murdered many of“h;}s escorting party, and made rest iml?ossible, a continuous storm of poigoned arrows always falling upon the, men the moment they camped. He only escaped them by taking to the canoes with his party and braving the%‘da_ngers of the tide rather than longer endure the terrors of the forest.! For three.days they were entirely without food, and they were again compelled to meet the savages on land. After fierce fighting and desperate marching, he reached Embonia,Congo, Renio, on the west coast. His last white assistant was. swept over the falls of the Massa and lost in June, and his faithful companion Kalulu was also lost. - The same day that his white friend -was drowned Stanley himself, with seven men, was almost drawn into the whirlpools -of the Moa Falls, and only by what seemed a miracle were they saved. !

- The colored people of the District of Columbia are trying to induce Washingtonians to help them out of the city. It.would be a blessing if they would go.

The matter is being agitated.— Washington Telegram. The property owners of the District of Columbia would certainly be benefited to the extent of $lOO,OOO if they could arrange for the permanent removalr of these darkies, and we presume they would cheerfully raise the amount if assurance could be had that Sambo would never return. The chief trouble is that these darkies have become so accustomed to loafing and idling that if even put on cheap lands, only a small proportion would succeed in making a living. If the industrious ones' were selected and helped to homes of their own, in the manner ' indicated, the experiment might possibly prove a success, = .

It may not be out of the way to suggest to one or two newspapers in Ohio ‘which pretend to he supporting the republican State ticket, that their policy of ridiculing Mr. Bishop, the democratic candidate, because he is & Christian gentleman and in favor of the enforcement of law, may prove a boomerang.

Indications of Better Times. Chicago Tribune. ok All notable signs concur in the flattering prospect for the improvement of business which has been held out by the coincidence of an abundant harvest in the West and an exceptional demand for breadstuff im Europe. Neither one without the other would have béen of material assistance to the country at large. As it is, it is now almost an absolute certainty that the farmers wiil receive for their crop all that they have counted onj; it will put them in funds to reduce their indebtedness, lay in larger stocks than they have been able to indulge themselves with for many years; the farmers will share their prosperity with the couniry merchants, and the country merchants with the city merchants. The capitalists will regain confidence as they receive their interest and:proffers of money past due. Their anxiety to hoard what they have will give way to an anxiety to increase it, and they will cease to be so timorous about investment. The banks, encouraged by the growth of exchange, will become more liberal and furnish the funds, of which they have abundance at their command, necessary for all the business demands of the time, - .

It is almost cerfain that the indications have not been misapprehended. The feeling of improvement is too universally manifested to be decep-. tive; the basis of the improvement is too real and substantial to be delusive. Men in all conditions seem to be shaking off the lethargy which has oppressed them for two or-three years past.. The habit of croaking will cease to be the fashion of the day.— The streets of Chicago, which is naturally the first city to feel the change, attest by the erowds of hurrying people, and the din of crowded thoroughfares, more than the usual stir of the fall season, There are brighter faces and heartier handshaking; and nearly every one who is asked, no matter in what business, reports that everything is livelier than he expected.— ‘The transportation interests are sharing the revival. All the lake vessels are employed at increased rates, and the ogea%,’vessels will not be numerous enough to supply the demand. The railroads just now are not able to furnish an adeguate number of cars to transport the wheat from the far West, though this unusual demand for transportation facilities may be transifory. The manufacturing interests are everywhere developing new energies. The furnaces of the Ohio Valley are running again. The cotton manufacturers of the United States are competing in the very teeth ot the English manufacturers, and with considerable success, as is evidenced by the frequent growls of the British press. The Southern newspapers give the most glowing reports of the cotton, sugar, molasses and rice yield for the year, along with an increase of cereals, so that their hopes for improvement are as substantial as those of the North-west. ; :

Hayes’ Cordial Reception at Louisville. Taesday’s Indianapolis Journal, !

Bloody Fighting at Plevng‘. b The continuous conflict which has been going on for some time between the Russians and Turks at Plevna may fairly be classed among the most desperate military struggles of modern times. It has been not merely a battle but a series of battles, in which both sides have shown great valor and determination, and both have suffered heavy losses. As the Tuaiks have the choice of position and the Russians are generally the attacking party,it is altogether probable the loss of the latter is greatest, though it must be remembered that our accounts come mainly throngh English channels and are likely to be colored unfavorably to the Russians. But in the best aspect of the case for the latter it is evident they are in a precarious p-s.tion so far as the results of the campaign are concerned. The season is now well advanced, they are practically in an enemy’s country, far trom their base of supplies, with long lines of communication to protect, and the country behind them stripped of nearly everything. Under these .circumstances, and’ with an active and alert enemy confronting her at every point, Russia is undoubtedly operating at a disadvantage. Of course, her immense resources are butslightly drawn uponas yet, but in view of the present situation of affairs and of the advancing season it seems not improbable that the Czar may be compelled to recross the Danube without having made any substantial progress during the campaign. Meanwhile the fighting at Plevna goes on, the slaughter on both sides continues as yigorously as if there were Some great principle involved, and Turks and Russians pour out their blood as freely as if they knew what they were fighting for.— Indianapolis Journal. . :

Narrow Escape from a Terrible Catastrophe at the Ohio State Fair.

CoLuMBUS, ‘O., Sept. 14th.-—During the grand review of the -premium stock in the horse ring, this afternoon, one of the teams became frightened and ran away. This irightened: the other stock and many of them broke away {from their grooms, and created great excitement. One team dashed withfurious speed among the terrified animals, and upon the Marion Cornet Band; which headed the procession, throwing them right and left to the ground. The confusion which followed was terrible. The thousands of spectators who filled the track and grand stand became wild with excitement, and it was with difficulty that many.persons were saved from being crushed to death. The only serious accident resulted to Harry Conrad, tenor drummer of the. Marion band, whae, although badly hurt, will recover. E. K. Clark and W. L.
