IN SATURDAY’S Cincinnati Enquirer ~.is published an interview with'Hon. « George H./ Pendleton relative to his present financial views. Thege, the interview shows, are the same as he held in'lB6B, when he was the.champ- " jon of the Greenback cause. He favors doing away with national banks and advocates the issue of greenbacks in place of national bank notes, the repeal of the Resumption law, the remonetization of silver and the issue ~of all circulating mediums by the Government, ‘and making silver, gold and paper interconvertible at par. ey —— - W——— - No BETTER TIME for athorough investigation 'of thé presidential dispute could be chosen than the present. The -people are calm and comparatively free from' prejudice and excitement. They are now in condition te weigh testimony with some degree of impartiality and fairness.

In view of this happy state of public feeling TiE BAN'NER cordially approves tlie proposi- . tion to re-open the cont(oversy as to %ho ought to occupy the presidential chair. o R

* THE HAYES ORGANS are very mad at Bill Chandler for so-boldly exposing the methods whereby the Ohio ex Governor was inducted into the office.to which Mr. Tildén was elected. They pronounce him a great rascal, and 'somewhat spitefully refer to his connection with the disreputable man-

ipulation of the Florida returns. Now, we are prepared to believe most if not

all of the bad things by these organs + charged against Chandler, but can’t see how that is going to help Hayes, If the latter profited by the former’s

. perfidy, as there is no doubt he did, » can the public consistently place a higher estimate upon the receiver of stolen goods than upon the one who did thestealing? 0 ot

' GENERAL TAYLOR, in his war re‘minigcences, has published a fearful imputation against Secretary Stantdn on the authority of General Grant.— In plain terms, it has bgeh charged that President Lincoln and the “Great War. Secretary” required that the march on Richmond should be made by the direct route to save political appearances, though the plan involved the sacrifice of ‘a hundred thousand men. To offset this accusation we have Stanton’s assertion that he had - studied General Grant night and-day and found him to be a —man of “utter ' incapacity.” These revelations, though coming somewhat late in the day, constitute “mighty interesting reading.” They clear up a good many things in regard to which the peeple have been: kept in doubt and ignorance. ¢ T - W g IT 18 THE VERIEST NONSENSE to argue that a new era of prosperity “is inseparably connected with free trade.” Every: studious observer, no matter . ‘'how strongly wedded to the free trade thepry, must know that for years to - come free trade is an utter impossibility in this country. The most that - »avenue reformerscan expect is a modification of the present tariff so as to make it essentially a tariff for revenue. To defray the current expenses of the government, revenue must be _ raised.in some way, and as it will require many years before the people can be convinced that direct taxation--is the cheapest and most equitable metliod of raising ‘revenues, it is a mere waste of time to talk and write * about free trade.

- A TIME FOR RECONCILIATION, ' The late Governor Wright. of Indiana, one of the most warm hearted, open handed men we ever knew, accustomed himself to going—on the return of every Christmas week—to those who had wronged him, either by slanderous word or unjust deed during the previous year, and offering them his hand in reconeiliation and Christian friendship. He would say, in reconciliation, that he “could not enjoy his Christmas pie till he had satisfied himself his heart was still in the right place, by such a test as this, and that he had indeed only good will for all men.” ‘Gov. Wright, like the late Gov. Morton, of Indiana, was one of thoserrarely gifted men who inevitably provoke an active envy, which assails them . at every step.—Erie (Pa.) Dispatch,. (o : Since reading the above in one of our exchanges, we have pondered a good deal over this beautiful tribute to the goodness of heart of Indiana’s former Governor. Ever and anon the gnrestion has presented itself to our mind whether or not a like duty rests upon all men who aim to cultivate a feeling of fraternal affection in the social circle and the community in general ? ! T

Recent events doubtless add largely to the earnestness of this inquiry, as well as to the intensity of the couflict swithin, thus rendering a decision all thie more difficult and hagardous. Our aim, and sincere desire, is fo'live at peace with mankind in general; to rejoice over the welfare, happiness and prosperity of our fellow-men. - Bug can this generous feeling always, under every circumstance, be kept pre~dominant? Can mortal man forgive and ‘forget wrong, injustice, malice, and persecution on the very heel of theirinfliction ? PRk

‘Would that we could, with a free heart and entire sincerity, answer in the affirmative. :Unable to do this, | we relegate a decision to the candid, "discriminating reader. - o ‘Suppose Gov. Wright had lived at a time of great financial depression, and that something like four hundred dollars of his paper had been bought up by a note-shaver, the payment of the, bulk thereof never having been demanded by the original holder. Let us suppose, further, that the very moment such paper had been *“gobbled up,” the notes were speedily placed into the liands of collection officers with instructions to bring suit immediately. ‘Suppose, further, that the maker of these notes had been stricken down by painful iliness and confined to his room for upward of two weeks, and ‘that three of his children were also taken ill—the youngest of the number hanging on the-very. verge of death.— Suppose, still further, that amidst all this care, sorrow and afiliction—during all these days of agony and suffering, and dreary, sleepless nights—the work of persecution was being push‘éd with adroitness, vigor, and relentléss energy,—with a zeal and determination worthy of a better cause, not 'alone to realize the profits incident to these “shaving” operations, but to ‘ruin, crush, humiliate and ‘disgrace the abject of this fiendish malignity ;— ‘supposing all thesethings, we ask you, kind reader, do you believe that even a man so. generous in his impulse as Gov. Wright is portrayed to us, would ‘have-gone to the individual who thus pursued Lim and offered the hand of friendship and reconciliation? Lay -your hand upon. your breast and answer truthfully and sincerely! Let us pursue this sketch a little farther: Suppose these things, hasti1y sketched above, had all taken. place, and the facts in the case were within easy re?;ch‘; but in .utter contempt thereof a grossly perverted statement of an alleged financidl disaster was published in a public newspaper, the account bearing upon its face unmistakable evidence of the Writer’s rejoicing over liis neighbor’s misfortune,— Suppose, further, that the publisher of that sheet had for years, in season and out of season, maligned, slandered, and villified that neighbor, often in terms almost unendurable,-—all the ‘while claiming allegiance to an institution whose tenets constitute the most withering condemnation of such vile practices ;—suppose such treat‘ment: had been bestowed upon that confess}edly generous-hearted man, Gov. Wright, do you, kind reader, believe that the hand of reconciliation ‘and christian friendship would have been offered the 7‘perpetrat;o-r of this flagrant and hideous wrong?: =~ = - But, what are we writing ahout? Have we a right to supppse that such things could have taken place in the. days and in the neighborhood of Goy. ‘Wright? It would be a'cruel slander upon that honored community to insinuate that two individuals held their abiding place there who were capable of conceiving, much less perpetrating, ‘the things above enumerated. ol

It is in order for Senator McDonald to rise and explain now. A Washington special to the Cincinnati GQazette says that the Senator recently expressed himself to a banker as fully in accord with the syndicate on the financial question, but added: “I should ‘not dare to return to/my constituents and ask an endorsement of my acts unless I supported the silver bill.”— Come, Senator, such double shufiling won’t do.—-@rawfordsoille_Journql, : . This statement is not in accord with ‘McDonald’s recent utterances at Indianapolis, .in the course of which he expressed himself emphatically in favor of the repeal of the resumption act and in favor of the passage of the silver bill. If “old Joe” is blowing hot in Indiana and cold in the East, the fact ought to be established beyond cavil, and that right soon—before the meeting of the Democratic State convention, Nt')bgbdy asks Senator ‘MeDonald to do violence to his conscience. If he is not heartily in accord with the pronounced sentiment of Indiana on the finance question, he ought to make room for somebody that is, =

EVERY oIII2EN of the Upited States ought to be in possession of a copy /of Gen. Ewing’s speech on the finance question. It is the ablest argument yet delivered in oppesition to the Sherman resumption act. No one has ventured to refutethe General’s powerful arguments, for the simple reason that they are irrefutable,

ROME CITY ITEMS.

It seems that Mr. Hayes and his Cabinet have begun to hear the storm roaring in the distance. - They begin to see the dark, threatening elouds arising in the West, a sure indication of an approaching hurricane. Thereupon the President convehes his Cabinet and informs them that the people are terribly in earnest; that something must be done; remonetization of silver will surely be forced in some shape, and now let us consider what is best to be done. It is true, says Mr, Hayes, that I gave my opinion at length in my annual ‘message. I argued the point to Congress as best I could, but my advice has been unheeded. I am anxious to reconcile matters. I desire to avoid a veto, as that would raise such a storm throughout the country that it.would probably strangle what little is left of the republican party. Cotne, now; let us make asilver bill here in the Cabinet that will meet my approval, and then submit the same to. Congress for ratification. Here now, | is the last grand effort of reform. The President and Cabinet to make the ‘ laws and submit them to Congress for ‘ ratification! “Why not, we ask, dispense with Congress entirely and let the President and the Cabinet do the ‘whole work.. See what an enormous expense would be dispensed with by this operation, and what risk would there be in trusting this important matter to such profound wisdom as that embodied in the President and his Cabinet. Articles of impeachment were prepared against Andrew Johnson for assuming duties and authority not guaranteed by the Constitution. But Andy and his Cabinet never attempted to frame laws and then submit them to Congress for ratification. We will walt with patience to see how Congress will receive this compliment from the President and his Cabinet. Our dramatic troupe succeeded so well here that they concluded to trayel. They gave an entertainment at Brimfield on Friday night last which was a financial ftailure. The weather was bad and a protracted meeting was in progress there which made the crowd so small that it almost bankrupted the company. The troupe are, however, in good spirits and are determined to retain their reputation and replenish their treasury when they ‘play the “Hidden Hand.” s

THE CONTROVERSY between the Chandler crowd and the Hayesites, briefly stated, is this: The Chandlerites charge that Sherman first bargained for Tayes that if he were counted in he should uphold Packard and Chamberlain; and that: subsequently another bargain was made by Stanley Matthews and others, in Hayes' behalf, to.the effect that the consummation of the electoral arrangement should result in the recognition of Nicholls and Hampton. As both bargains could not be expected, it is only a question ‘which of the two was to bs carried out in good faith. Hayes says the latter, while Chandler & Co. insist upon the former.,

IF 1T BE TRUE that Conkling, Butler, Blaine, Chandler & Co. have determined to render the fraudulent occupancy of the White House uncomfortable for Mr. Hayes, is it wise or prudent for Democrats to throw themselves into the breach in order to protect the de facto President? _ TeE BANNER holds to the contrary ‘view. Let these gentlemen fight their battles among themselves. Kilkenny fights alweys furnish more or less amusement to disinterested spectators.

AVILLA TIDINGS.

. EpIToR BANNER:—We here offera few items for the columns of your welcome paper, hoping they may be worthy of notice by its many readers, especially those in the vieinity of Avilla. : !

The teachers of the Avilla public school gave a vacation of a littl¢more than a week, during which t!::nhem' and scholars appeared 1o enjoy themselves. Mr. Miller was in town but two days during the vacation. The holidays made quite an interesting time for the people of this blace.’ ‘Many fine presents were given to tbe young lads and lasses,and they thought that “Santa Claus” brought an immense quantity, considering the muddy roads. e - The last few days have been poor weather for tramps to bunk out doors. They call at villages and towns, and ask a permit to the calaboose, from one day to the next. Our calaboose was inhabited by nearly a half dozen during the past week. - On last Thursday night one called on the night oper‘ator, and asked permission to enter the office and warm, as he was cold. He entered but soon fell asleep, and snored so loudly that the operatorsaw fit to put him on the out sidewalk of the office.’ This being about eleven o’clock at night he kept warm until four in the morning, when he begged

leave to be let in and warm, as he Wy almost frozen. BB

The weather is continually growing colder, and the boys say that if it keeps snowing and doqs not thaw, there will be sleighing this winter, if it is the last of the season. Who could imagine anything better for the people these hard times and rough roads?

Two dances in town during the hol--Idays. - One consisted of forty-nine couples. The music was excellent, and everything passed off pleasantly. Can Albion or Kendallville beat that ?

- The Masons of this place had a grand festival, about two weeks ago, which was much enjoyed by all that were present. There was a vast quantity of good eating there, such as oysters and the like. :

Occasionally, yes, we may say semioccasionally, there is a lawsuit in this place. Some of the people get a little angry and file a complaint against their neighbors, for some little, insignificant offense that occurred unintentionally, and causes an unpleasant feeling, and makes an attachment on their purses. - There arose a lottery in this town during the last two months. The prize which was to be drawn consisted of a new set of single harness, worth $25. Tj:re were one hundred tickets, and one hundred blanks; one that was marked “$25.” = One ticket and one blank were drawn at the same time. The number that was drawn with the marked blank was the lucky number. Each ticket sold for twenty-five cents. On last Saturday the lottery was held, Mr. Lamper had the lucky number, 28. Mr.. Lamper- then treated the crowd to a keg of lager beer, and all went to their business examining their pock-et-books and found that each had paid a quarter toward paying for Mr. Lamper’s new harness. ‘ The Allen Township Teachers’ Institute, that was usually held in Avilla, will be held in Lisbon next Saturday. : ' LANTZ.

S e gty | THE SILVER ISSUE. ; ] | President Hayes Reported Ready to Sign e s i the Bk e Special Dispatch to the Chicago Post. o WASHINGTON, Jan, B,— This morn~ ing’s Republican has a leading article in which occur these sentences: “We now state, upon what we regard as high authority, that the Executive will sign the silver bill whenever sub-: mitted to him. He believes it to be a measure demanded by the business interests of the country and a majority of the people of the United States, and hence will cheerfully giveit hisofficial sanction.”

- In view of the reports to the contrary recently sent to the country, this may be regarded as an important statement. The truth is, all the attaches of the New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore journals here are under positive instructions to do all in their power to manufacture sentiment against the silver movement, and have done very much fo misrepresent the views of the President and Cabinet on this subject, as already shown in these dispatches. I have the best of reasons for knowing that the silver bill as it is likely to pass the Senate, that is the Bland bill with the Allison amendnents, is not objectionable to the President and a majority of the Cabinet. Evarts,Schurz.and Sherman are the only opposing members on this subject. As the bill is likely to go to the President, he is almost certain to sign it. :

Eighteen Hundred and Seventy-Seven. There is no use in moralizing on the _death of the old year. Its record is -almost made, and Father Time is closing the book, only giving usa few seconds in which we may look over its filled pages. Deeds done cannot be undone, but lessons can be drawn -from failures, and from successes.— The year has taught some sad lessons to us as a nation. There have been days in the year when the shadows have well-nigh fallen on the land. To many it has brought financial distress. Many tears of sorrow have dimmed eyes that never wept before. Hearts have been broken. Happiness has flown from many. Hopes have not changed to realities. There are sad experiences which philosophy tells us may ripen into perfection of character. Butf close the old record, and begin the title page of the New Year’s diary with resolutions of reform and hopes for happiness.—Elkhart Review, Dec. 29. :

; Woman’s Demands. : - There was a caucus of women in one of the ante-roowms of the Senate chamber, in Washington, on Monday, to make arrangements for a grand raid upon Congress on Friday. Committees were appointed to see that Senators and representatives were in their seats at the appointed time, and ready for the visitation. The women demand “immediate action of the two ‘houses of Congress upon the sixteenth ‘amendment to the constitution, pro‘hibiting the several States from dis‘franchising citizens on account of ‘sex.” ' Although thus warped of the impsending insurrection, the Vice President and speaker have not yet made a requisition for troops to protect their respectiveitiouses. i

Fire at Lagrange. : ‘We learn that Lagrange was visited by a very disastrous fire, last Sunday night, by which the large brick hotel block, which contained aside from the hotel, a bank, drug store, barber shop, meat market, and harness shop, were consumed. The loss is a very severe one to that place, as the hotel building was an unusually good one for a town of that size,- and it will be a difficult matter to replace it. No lives were lost, but scarcely anything in the building was saved, as the fire occurred at 1:80 1n the morning, and it was extremely cold. ‘The loss is reported to be $27,000, insurance $14,000.— Kendallville Standard. .

Senator Patterson’s Condition., - WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Senator Pat terson’s conditionis more critical than has been stated in the papers. For some time the only nourishment he has been able to keep on his stomach is some raw meat taken in balls three times a day. No one is allowed to see him, for fear of exciting him unduly. Yesterday he sat up an hour or two, and was supposed .to be bLetter, but last evening he had a relapse. His trouble is severe nervous prostration. He has been treated with anodynes and cupping. It is obvious that his recovery will be slow, and is to be hoped for as the result of skillful treatment.
