The BANNER agrees with the sentiment heartily. 4 ~THE SENATE is not likely to reach a 'vote on the silver bill this week. Dignified Senators are not yet through making speeches. Our Joe McDonald made a vigorousspeech in favor of the bill on Tnesday. i B fiSI:IvERMA‘LN’S fimancial policy is - so ‘thoroughly appreciated in his own State that a bill has been ‘introduced into the Ohio Legislature to make the subsidiary silver coinage legal tender to the extent of $5O.

Go it, boys! \ TOSTMASTER GENERAL KEY gave Mr. Hayes to understand at the cabinet meeting on Tuesday that if the administration were to undertake to interfereywith the courts of Louisiana 80 as tg screen the Returning Board rascals from punishment, he would deem 1t his duty to resign. Good for Xy v ; ;

HAYEs, Sherman, Garfield & Co. are terribly excited dver the conviction of Anderson, of the Louisiana Returning Board, and express a determination to do all in their power to protect .the fellows who falsified the vote of Louisiana. ' Things have come to a pretty pass when an administration lends itself o screening men guilty of the blackest crime. ~

. A CONTEMPORARY thinks persons enraptured with John Sherman’s re‘sumption scheme will be interested in the official statement that the actual stock of gold coin in the hands of the Governmentf;' against, . which there is no current obligation, is $61,740,995. This illustrates clearly his capacity to redeem next January $349,110,424 in greenbacks and float $320,629,690 of national bank notes at par. ’

~ THE TRIAL of Anderson, one of the _Louisiana returning board conspira- * tors, on a charge of perjury in making false returns og the election in Louisi- " ana, was concluded last Thursday, the ~ Jury returning a verdict of guilty, but recommending him to the mercy of . the Court. A motion for a new trial ~ has'been made in behalf of Anderson. Itls claimed that one of the two col“ored jurors is not yet 21 years of age, and that another jaror had expressed an’ opinion that Anderson was guilty and deserved to be hanged. | el . / THE fineness and weight of the Mexican, and our own silver dollars, - are shown by the returus of the Unit“ed States Assay Office, to be jas folPlowmit e o 1 A - Fineness, Grains.

. PERSONS contemplating loans on long time will find the following remarks of U, 8. Sepator Eaton of interest: “Millions of the capital of Connecticut has been'poured into the lap - of the West, and capitalists to-day did | not ask its return in greenbacks, gold or silver.’ All they asked was the pay- - ment of the interest, and a commission recently appointed to make inquiry concerning investments, &c., reported to the Connecticut Legislature recom--mending that capitalists having money inyested in the West reduce the rate _of interest, that the Western debtor might continue in possession of his property.” All right; just hurry up and make the reduction. : i e - A —— i }Lilncs having appointed several southern Democrats to office, some of the Cabinet officers brought the subJect up for consideration at the meeting Tlalt- ‘week.

~ LETIT BE MADE LESS POWERFUL. - In a lengthy editorial on the inance question, the New York World is con*“Honey i.i%;m&mo.@;m%e and powerful thing in the commanity, and shrewd financiers, long ‘ago seping the tendencies of the ﬂg@ have acquired the management of it. Legislation may render money less ‘desirable comparatively than many other forms of property, but in.the ‘rapid transformation of values the cunning magicians who have possession of the capital of the country will contrive to secure whatever else is better at advantage to themselves, and when the inevitable era of contraction and ruin again appears they will be ready oncé more to gather up the 8poils.”; :

~ Very good. Let money be made“less desirable” to such an extent as t 6 secure its investinent in “some other form of property.” 'That is precisely what the country needs. The prostration of all kinds of business for the special objeet of making money more valuable has been carried far enough; yea, entirely too far. . And as for a repetition of thesad eventsthrough which our country’ has passed and is now passing, the present generation will need no ~admonition. The coumntry -will neither plunge into bottomless inﬂatidn nor tolerate a ‘continuation of ruinous contraction. :

- The Ligonier BANNER is a little sarcastic upon those “statesmen” of the democratic party who do not favor an investigation of Hayes’ title to the Presidency. - The country is pretty well satistied in reference to Mr. Hayes’ title, and the mauner he secured it. If the perpetrators of that outrage could be brought to punishment, the investigation might be of some use.— Warsaw Union. }

What is to hinder the “perpetrators of that outrage” from being brought to punishment? There certainly is some ‘way of reaching these cases under the law. The authorities of Louisiana ‘have made a good move in that direction by the prosecution of the Returning Board villains.. Now let them “go for” Sherman, Garfield and the other “visiting statesmen” who were parties to the perpetration of that gigantic frand. We feel assured that whatever congressional legislation may be required to lay bare and undo the huge swindle could now be obtained—if every Democrat in Congress could be in--duced to do his, duty. But there is where the rub comes in. Hayes has a whole pack of democrati¢ congressmen under control, captured by placing at their disposal the patronage of their respective localities. Besides this influence he has secured the active support of the New York World, Baltimore Gazette, and other democratic journals controlled by railroad or stock jobbing corporations.

- SENATOR DAvls, of West Virginia, is pursuing his investigations into the system: of treasury book-keeping in vogue while Boutwell-was at the head of the department. ' The Senator alleges that his chargé, made long ago, that a forced balance of $200,000,000 was published in 1870 at the suggestion of the above named Secretary, is fully sustained. A republican journal makes a lame attempt at apology for Boutwell in this matter by saying that he never denied “that the exigencies of treasury management had led to inaceuracies #nd discrepancies.” Treasury management that requires a change of $200,000,000 to cover up inaccuracies and discrepancies in the accounts in order to make the books balance will scarcely commend itself to popular approbation. “Exigencies” of that character, the Harrisburg Patriot remarks, 'b'éar entirely too-suspi-cious a look., '

. SECRETARY SHERMAN is reported as having said one day last week “that the passage of the Bland bill seemed a foregone conclusion, and that those who have been pressing it should prepare the country not to base great expectations of prosperity upon it. He said that the danger is that the people, when they find themselves without the relief they are taught to expect from silver, will demand more greenbacks, and we shall then have to face a new and greater danger thaa simply the silver movement” Of courfe, more greenbacks will be demanded, no matter how much silver may be coined. The people demand that the full volume of greenbacks ($400,000,000) originally authorized to be issued, shall again be put in circulation. In short, Mr. Sherman’s contraetion operations are to be undone.

I _ Blaine and the Silver Dollar. Mr. Blaine differs from the advocates of the Bland bill merely upon the question of the weight of the dollar of posterity. He wants it to be three per cent. heavier than the old -coin, and then he is willing to make it an unlimited legal-tender in every reppect and for every purpose. Mr. f&ine]has embodied his views in.a ‘bill of his own, which he has presented to the Senate. As it is morally ~certain that the Bland bill will pass by a heavy majority, Mr. Blaine’s ogpo‘sition to it at this juncture is of no special moment, although, of course, his admirers in the Western States would be delighted to welcotne him as one of its swmm.

‘And now. ¢omes the Albion New Erg, and il a very plain and sensible article advocates the organization of a new party. And what reasonable person ean object to a proposition so plausible? The words Democrat and Republican are now meaningless, and ‘express nothing tangible or intelligl-

‘ble. We have never had in this country a democratic party exceptin name. ernment by the people through represenfatives. What is called the republican party sprang into life and came. into existence a deadly foe to slavery. It conquered its enemy; it freed four millions of colored slaves; it'created the greenbacks, and did a vastamount. of good. But behold how it has ehanged its mission. It has repudiated the original contracts between the government and the bondholders. Bonds which were payable in greenbacks are now payable in coin. They have demonetized silver, and now object to the payment of bondholders in any‘thing but gold. They have contracted the currency until they have made paupers of the laboring classes, and whilst they have liberated four millions of colored slaves, they have put into absolute bondage forty millions of slayves, nearly all of whom are of .the white race. All this the republican party has done by the consent.and with the assistance of Democrats. Let the people arouse from their lethargy. Let them send forth a second declaration of Independence. Let them re‘nounce absolutely and entirely all al‘legiance to old parties which advocate ‘nothing but dead issues.. Let them by ‘their sacred ballots burst the chains of ‘bondage which have been quietly and secretly riveted upon them. ILetthem vote for those, and those only, who are in faver of remonetizin'g the silver dollar of our daddies, and in favor of ‘abolishing all national banks, and in favor of the government issuing its own greenbacks, and demand that.the ~amount issued shall be sufficient for ‘the demands of trade, and that both silver and greenbacks shall be a full ‘legal-tender for all debts, public and private, not expressly otherwise provided—including duties on imports.— When these things are brought about we may expect better times. : The big snow storm on Saturday and Sunday last, and the miserable getting around, has made several per‘sons hereabout swear eternal ven'geance on that pesky “varmint” called ground hog. e .

I was deeply interested in the perusal of “H. A. R.’s” article on the “objects of education,” in last week’s BANNER. His observations afe timely and to the point. P Verily, this is an age of unrest.

Old forms of thought and modes of action are t{hrown aside, and the multitude venture upon new and untrodden paths.! There is a wild cry for liberty of thought, word and action in every department of life.. The press, pulpit and pew are alike eager and earnest to think,speak and act as they please. What does it mean ? - F Friend Boler went to Goshen last Thursday to hear Beecher’s lecture. He speaks in glowing terms of the words of wisdom that fell from the great preacher’s lips.

THE PITTSBURG TARIFF PARADE. ‘Twelve to Fifteen Thousand Men Marche e P {6BURG, February o.—The weather to-day was not as fayorable as could: be ‘-ﬁﬁﬂg ted by those jnterested in the tariff demonstration. The rain of yesterday had converted the streets into a sea of mud, and the dark skies were | still threatening, Despite this the people of the two cities turned out enl masse. As early as 8 o'clock thestreets were thronged with delegations march,:i%&et&i;ﬁxe positions assigned them in the procession. Special trains were run on all the railroads, and nearly allthe towns in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia were represented. There was no attempt at elaborate decorations of buildings, although many houses displayed flags | and mofttoes. The procession, with the exception of carriages containing city officials, was composed entirely of meri on foot, marching four abreast, Among the mottoes on the banners were these: “America First, England Afterwards,” *“The Importation of British Iron Means Starvation to American Freemen,” “Congress Must Not Reduce Americans to the Level of European: Serfs,” “High Tariff Guarantees Protection to the Last, and Nail that to the Mast.” A banner was ‘inseribed “Free Trade with Axxlxlgica,” ‘with a picture of John Ball in™ high feather, with the British lion at his feet. All the leading irdustries of this city and surrounding country were represented, the manufacturers and producers having suspended work to allow their workmen to participate. It is estimated that from twelve to fifteen thousand men were in line. Immediately after the street parade a large meeting was held in the Exposition building, Allegheny City. The interior had been' gayly decorated for the occasion with banners, flags and mottoes strung around the walls.. Three stands for speakers had been erected.. Pennsylvanig occupied the centre one, West Virginia the east, and Ohio the west gnd. About 2 o’clock the vast assem%ge was called to order from the Pennsylvania stand by 'R. 8. Wariug, and the three meetings 'were organized simultaneously. At the main stand B. F. Jones, of the American Iron Works, was chosen Chairman, and addressed the assembly. Resolutions favoring protection were unanimously adopted. : ‘ :

; Death of Gideon Welles, The telegraph announces the death of Hon. Gideon Welles, which occurred at his home in Hartford, Conn.,on Monday, Feb. 11. Mr. Welles was a native of Connecticut, and remained.a resident of the State from his birth (July 1, 1802,) to his death. He edited a democratic paper in Hartford from 1826 to 1837; was postmaster of that city from 1836 to 1841; held a seat in the State,Legislature for eight years; was head of a bureau in the navy department during a part of Polk’s administration; was one of the fathers of the republicdan party; helped nominate Lincoln for President in 1860; and was Secr%ary of the Navy during the entire ad#ginistrations of Lincoln and Johnson. Entering the department at & most critical period, he succeeded in creating a great nAvy,which performed some very brilliant service, besides an immense amount of “hard work in blockading the whole coast of. the Confederate States. The appearance of the rebel iron#lad Virginia in Hampton roads at the beginning of the rebellion, where by a most fortunate chance- the original “Monitor” met her, effected a complete revolution in naval warfare, While Mr. Welles was never credited with' the blustering energy of Stanton, it is certain that greal iron-clad fleets were constructed with amazing -rapidity under his administration; and that while disasters followed the army in rapid succession, most of which were chargable to perversity and lack of prevision in the department at Washington, vhe n-a%zy was almost invariably found in the right place at the right time, and suffered comparatively few losses. Without much of the pretentious self-assertion which characterized his associates in the cabinet, Mr, Welles performed his duty to the country faithfully, administered his department with as much energy and at least as much success as was found in any other branch of the public service, throughout the war. If not ~what the world calls a great man, he was at least able, faithful, and untiring in the discharge of a most important trust.—Chicago Times. Sk T ——— - BRE——— Playing Resurrector. : The New York papers of February 3d published an account of a miraculous restoration of a woman at East Mauch Chunk, Pa., from apparent death to a sudden life and vigor. The so-called miracle happened at the house'of Rev. Father Heinan, of the Catholic church,at East Mauch Chunk. Father Heinan is represented to have stated that the woman, whose name is Amelia Greth, came to him some months ago and informed him that an ?.ngel had told her that she would die on Saturday, the second of February, 1878, and that one hour after her death she would be restored to life. The ‘woman was ill with consumption and ‘had had several hemorrhages of the lungs, The prophesy in regard to the dying woman became public and on Saturday the house.of the priest in East Mauch Chunk was thronged with curious people. It is estimated that over seven thousand persons looked at what seemed to be the soulless body. At half past eight o’clock there was apparently no sign of life .in Amelia Greth. She had indeed all the seeming of the dead.” At half-past nine o’clock, after Father Heinan had pronounced the name “Amelia” three times in a loud voice, she arose, uttered a short prayer, asked for a shawl, put on a lady’s sealskin coat and walked rapidly to the church. She.says that she has been entirely cured. * No physician attended her at any time during her Illness and no medical examination was made while she lay in ber trance. Archbishop Wood, of Philadelphia, when informed of the alleged miracle by the Herald correspondent, said he did not attach any credence to the foolish caprice of the notoriety-seeking priest.

The Mauch Chunk “Miracle.” NEw York, Feb. 11.—Father Heinan, whose name was associated with that of Miss Greth, in the so-called Mauch Chunk miracle, read from his altar, yesterday, Archbishop Wood’s letter thereon.

The Convietion of Anderson.

There have been few criminal trials in modern times of so great significance.as that. which has just been concluded at New Orleans. Gen. Anderson was indicted for forging returns at the last Presidential election. He has been convicted. The figures for democratic candidates were diminished, and those for the republican candidates "correspondingly augmented. This faet has now been judicially.determined by a court and jury. - The testimony in the ease was overwhelmingly strong for the prosecution; and yet from the circumstance that there.were two colored men on the jury some persons apprehended a mistrial. But after an absence from the court room of only forty minutes the jury returned, having agreed in that-short space of time, and on being 'f)%ﬂgd they all stood by their verdict. Theyunited in a recommeandation of the prisoner fo mercy, which shows how free they were from prejudice or ill-feeling against him. ot The' conviction of this miserable man is not in itself a matter of national moment, nor is it of great importance to any one but himself and his unhappy family and friends. But ‘when we consider that he was one of the conspirators who defeated the.choice of the people at the last election, } his erime looms up into vast' proportions. It is not this comparatiyely obscure individual in Louisiana 'alone who has fallen by this verdict. Ruth erford B. Hayes has fallen with him, To whatever steps he may descend he drags Rutherford B. Hayes down in his company. When he puts on the; parti-colored prison suit, it will require but a slight effort of the imagination of a just man to see Rutherford B.| Hayes enveloped in a similar garb. f "How long shall Mr. Hayes be per- , mitted to hold the highest office under our Government by a title which can-) not stand in a court of justice one hour after being submitted for decision| to an honest jury? ‘ b Anderson has gone; Hayes must follow!—N.

: A Lumber King in Straits. | PHILADELPHIA, February 7.—The financial embarrassments of Mr. Peter Herdie, of Williamsport, the lumber king of Pennsylvania, are attractin a great deal of attention. The repor that he-had failed is not strictly cor+ rect, but it is true that only the greatest prudence on his part and the uts

most tolerance on that of his credi tors can make it possible for him t¢ tide over. The immediate cause of his present straits is the entering of ' judgments against him at Williams: port to the amoumt of $70,000 within the last few days. Besides this, number of ‘snits have been brough against him, both as principal an endorser, for large amounts; execu tions have been issued :against hin{ for quite enough to cover his person al effects, and many of his notes h’av£ gone to protest in New Ye¢rk an Philadelphia, as well as in Williamsport. One of the heaviest j u%%meutb entered up is in favorof Mr. ;eiéxh; - man, of ‘this Og,gty,. the amount of ‘which is $40,000. . This is well s cared Ly mortgage.

Abram Hewitt is going to bring in a bill to abolish our foreign ministries and have their work done by the consuls, with special commissioners for special work.

Judge Stuart, of the Supreme Court of Kentucky, has petitioned the Legislature of that. State to impose a direct tax on all alcoholic drinks.
