It is singular that nobody suggests Hayes for a second term. United States notes (greenback's) are quoted at par with gold in London. The official count elects three Democrats to Congress in New Jersey, instead of two. Foreign emigration to this country for the year 1878 is twenty-five per cent, greater than it was last year. The public dej»t statement for December 1st shows that the debt increased during the month of November $3,214,242. It is now stated authoritatively that Smith, the Greenback candidate, will he elected Governor of Maine by the ^egislatnre of that Slate. The excess of exports ovefr imports continues to grow. For the month of October the excess was $27,713,464, against $17,731,155 for October, 1877. The skeptical and ihfidel world give Ingersoil $250 per lecture for his ridicule of religion and the Bible, while the Christian w^gld begrudge their ministers $10 per sermon. In another place we give an account of a stupendous scheme in the interest of Grant in the next Presidential contest. The design is to buy the Presidency for him. Alas t wo have fallen upon evil times. It is discovered that over a million of dollars have been squandered by the Superintendents, who are the lingering relics of Republican control in Indiana, and will be given the bounce whemthe Legislature meets. lhe Indianapolis News says: “The issue in the South was to be rid of carpet-bagism. It was a struggle of "'culture against ignorance, and of the property of those States against the thieves who have plundered it so as to make the very name of Republicunism a fear and reproach to every one who had accumulated anythid^ which could be taxed.True as the gospel. New York courts are issuing certificates of citizenship to Chinese, and other States are doing the same thing. As a consequence John Chinamen are becoming Melican men sure enough, clothed wiUi all the prerogatives of At this ratethe dmrjnay fiSif tneAlaTiJnffeyed, pig-tailed, copper-colored Mongolian may sit beside the pure blooded African in Congress to make laws for white men. The quiet little village of: Bloomfield, Green county, 1b all excitement over the filing of papers for a suit by Banister Haywood, a well known citizen of the county, against We. Edington, a prominent farmer, for the seduction of Haywood’s wife. Damages to the amount of $10,000 are asked. The parties all ocupy ahigh social position, and the commencement of the suit has created quite a sensation.—[Indianapolis Sentinel. -

In view of the hard fight for life on which the National banking system "will soon enter, the foliy of the banks in making war on the standard silver dollar is especially prominent. No law was ever enacted with more earnest popular support than the law recreating this coin. The banks which propose to degrade it are defying a power that they would jlo much better to conciliate—a power capable of destroying them as effectually as it • swept the anti-silver movement out of its path. -—— « — - In 1877 the corn crop of Indiana reached nearly 100,000,000 bushels, and the estimate is that: the crop of 1878 Will amount to 120,000,000 bushels. Corn is now worth about twenty cents per bushel in the crib 1} makes good - and wholesome bread, and certainly there should be no hunger In the land. But radicalism, by its vicious financial policy, has produced such wide-spread ruin that in spite of the beneficence of heaven there are multiplied thou sands who are unable to purchase com at twenty cents per bushel; and if the benevolence of the people does not pome to their relief, hunger jvill he the guest of their wretched bodies The recent death of Thomas H Powers 1c Philadelphia—estate estimated at 810,000,000, annual Income 8760,000—calls to mind the method by Which a paternalistic protective tariff helps make millionaires at the expense of the million. Mr. Powers was the senior member of the well known firm of- manufacturing chemists. The founders of the -house discovered a process for preparing quinine then known only to a few French chemists. This discovery laid the fonndation of their prosperity. But, moire than this, they asked the government to put a protective tariff on quinine, so that the Frenchmen could not sell it in this market, and the government did it; and thus tens of thousands of American pioneers, shaking with agoe and burning with fever, were mulcted for the benefit of a Philadelphia quinine factory. The particular injury in each a case as this is that the article is not one of luxury, to be dispensed with, but one of necessity that must be had at any price.

Goveusob Williams a few affijsp!1 pardoned a man named C®sar Graves, who had been convicted in Monroe county, of stealing and was sentenced to the penitentiary for two yeani. Graves was of a very respectable family, and tlie sole support of bis widowed mother. He was convicted on the evident e of two detectives who had been empl oyed by the citizens on a reward of 4600 to discover the perpetrators Of s ome'peUy thefts whic:i had been occurring in the community. After serving eighteen months of his time it is now discovered that the detectives “set up a job” on Graves sons to obtain the reward, and that he wn* wrongfully convicted.. The fact that tho executive clemency has been tendered him is made the occasion W some unjust aspersions against the Governor^ _>v: .L - — . -

The following occurrence shows that all tramps are not the desperate outlaws the} are represented to be: A lady from near I3pencer, Owen county, states that the other day a disguised ma t went to the house o;f a man living near that town and finding the lady of tte house alone demanded money. The lady denied there being any in the house, but he insisted there was, and seizing her baby held it over the fire and said he would roast it alive if she did not get it for him. As the fiend expected, this procured the money, the mother to save her child giving him the money,ythe amount of which he seemed to have a knowled ge of. He then 6aid:“I be’leve^yUu know me?” She makingjip'reply, he said: “Yes, by G—d, ^Tdo,” and seizing her, vras dragging hfec to ilhe wood-shed fbr the pu«b<t|e, hejsaid, of killing her with an ax, wfiende tramp making his eppearance caused him to desist, but the tramp, taking in the situation, sei Eed the scoundrel and assistance comi ng ho was arrested, a ud proved to be a near neighbor disguised aDd playing the tramp. «•••- The Printer's Dollars. Where are they? - A dollar here and a dollar there scattered over the country, miles and miles apart, how shall they be gathered together? The mites from here and there mast be diligently gathered, or tire where with to discharge the liabilities will never become sufficiently bulky. The printer will have to get np an address to his widely scattered dollars, like this; Dollars, halves,quarters, dimes and all manner of fractions into whiptr you are divided, collect yourselves aud come home. You are wanted Combinations of all sorts of men that help to make the printer a prosperous proprietor gather in such force and demand with such good reasons your appearance at this office; that nothing short of you will please them. Col lect yourselves, for valuable aii. you are, you will never pay the cent, of collecting. Come he;re in single file, that the printer may *prm you in bat tallion, and send yo * forth again to battle for him and vindicate his feeble credit. Reader, are you sure you haven’t a couple or more of the printer’s dollars sticking about your clothes? 11 you have, order them home immediately.

[From Oar BegnUr Correspondent] Washington, D. C Dec. 9,1878. The reassembling of a Congress for its second session isn’t ns lively nn occasion as the meeting of a new one which has the exciting work of organisation before it. There were no scenes and incidents worthy of graphic detail connected with the present 'assembling. Speaker and Clerk were warm in their places, and the committees were on hand ready to take up business Just where they had left it only a short time before. All business holds the position iu which it stood at the adjournment last Summer, whereas at the opening of ajfew Congress everything starts at the

TOiiiiumion uunnisnea measures, originating this session or last, fall entirely on the 4th of March and must lake a fresh start to obtain further hearing. It was a little interesting to the looker-bn in Venice to watch the greetings of members with each other, congratulations for those who had been re-elected, and condolence for the less fortunate who must step down and out when this session closes. “Butler luck next lime” was the best word for them among their colleagues. Hale was on hand cndeayoring to impress the galleries with the idea that he isn’t as dejul as represented; but he looked gloomy au^ forlorn, and a tear stole silently dlown his cheek every time he met the eye of a sympathizing radical, 'iara Cox was as fresh and chirrup as squirrel in nut-gathering season-. I3e looked over towards Hale and Garfield and Snarley-yow Conger in a tone of voice that seemed to say, “you fellows keep still now or I’ll make it lively for you.” Allkander U. Stevens also answered the roll call. The little Georgia giant’s 85 pounds of skin and bones occupied his familiar rocking chair with au air cushion to prop him up. This country has never seeu an instance ot such wonderful mental power maintained in such a slendsr, broken-down physical structure. Yet he seems better now than at any time for three or four years, and promises much usefulness. The bloody shirt war which we have been assured is to be a prominent feature of this session^was begun in a sort of skirmish along the outpost oh the very first day The acting President’s-'message was the signal. vKfi.at Mr. Haves says on the subject of elections in the South is not all that the shriekers desired, but it is a good deal too much in view of the fact that the whole thing is a partisan^outcry raised to serve the basest of partisan ends. Mr. Hayes is undoubtedly somewhat, out of humor with the South. In return for the discharge of his plain duty in withdrawing Federal interference with their local governments, and permitting them 'to mauage their own affairs, as other States do, he expected the South to fall into line aed sustain the Republican parte. But the Southern people have not been euilty of the political infidelity hoped for by trading politicians of the Hays stripe. Removed fjtfrar the coercive influences of baronets ami corrupt returning boards, the South is Democratic. Hence these radical tears. A few years ago, when there were onlytwo Democratic members of Congress from that entire section, a “solid South” had fio terrors tor these radical marplots Then c&rpet-baggery had full swing, and reconstruction was working according to Hoyle. Things were booming* and the goose hung “altitudelum.” But the gradual enfranchisement of the whites, and the winning over of the better class of the blacks, has restored a natural condition of things. Republicans say that Mississippi, South Carolina, &c.,should be radical by 30,000 majority. The argument is that there are so many thousand colored voters, and consequently so many Republican votes should appear in the boxes. That would be good logic if all the blacks voted the radical ticket; but they do not. Tito fact that six colored Democrats have just been elected to the Legislature in South Carolina is prel j-tv conclusive evidence that a tolerably lively sprinkling of blacks voto and act with the whiles. Your correspondent spent four months in the South last year, and saw pn every

nana ample, iinmistaKante evirteeces that the more intelligent colored men were earnest, active Democrats. It is the most natural thing in .the world. Their interests, instead of being antagonistic to the whites, as the lying, scheming carpet-baggers long made them believe, are 'dentical and inseperable. Neither One can prosper with out the other, and, lelt to themselves, they come together in politics as naturally as two electric, currents, or as readily as the laws of trade and reciprocity are adjusted. It is the colored mail and brother who has disappointed the Republicans When a radical Congress put the ballot into the hands of the negro, and added a score or more to Southern representatives in the Electoral College and the halls of Legislation, it was done to give the Republican party permanent control of the Government. But the colored citizen tonnd radical promises of “forty acres and a mule” a delusion and a snare. To revenge themselves upon a.people whose infloeqce with the blacks and whose bouest interest them is greater than their own. these radicals no * attempt a revival of the era of hate and sectional strife. The grossest of falsehoods and the wickedest of inventions a*-e to be resorted to. and the entire public "buslUBWJ prostituted in the effort loin flame the minds of people at the North who are unacquainted with the tacts, Mr. Blaine followed Hayes’message with a resolution to raise an “investigation” committee to set the outrage mill in motion. There may have been irregularities and unwarrantable acts in connection with the recent elections in some parts of the South. Such things have transpired In Ohio, in Penneylv nia.aml even Massachusetts. But the judical remedy is everywhere ample. Democrats North and Mruih unite in demanding legal punishment for every violation of the election laws,- but in Congress they will use every endeavor to defeat the schemes of these radical. marplots. And the sublimes'a exhibition of cheek ever witnessed is the of spectacle R B. llayea talking about election frauds to a Congress that is in possession of the facta relative to his own rape of the -Presidency, while holding an office to which he knows another was overwhelmingly elected, common decency would seem to render “election | fraud*” a forbidden subject at the ■ White House.

The Three Men Who Want to Bay the PresWenty for Grant—The Grant Pool Already haa Three MUlioaa la 11. tNmr York Graphic. | , John W. Mackay was born in Dublin in 1836, and was seventeen years old when he arrived in California. For 12 years he was a common miner. This practical apprenticeship enabled him to prospect mining claims, to locate mines, and to make remunerative investments. His income now is estimated at $500,000 James G. Fair came to this conBtry at twelve years of age, with hisparents, who were in very humble circumstances. Ho went to California in 1849. In 1864 he became superintendent of the Ophir mine, subsequently made lucky investments in San Francisco real estate, the gains of which he invested in Consolidated Virginia Opbir and California mines. He is forty-seven vearsold and his mouthly income is $500,000. James C. Flood was born in 1828, and was just of age when he arrived in California and struck ont for the mines. For fi ve years he worked with the hardest of miners, undergoing all their hardships and privations. In 1853 he luckily formed a partnership With O’Brien, and from that lime he began to rise ' He is one of the leading owners of the Bank of Nevada. His wealth cannot be estimated, but it is Sufficient to give him the control of the San Francisco Mining Exchange, the fluctuations of which in a single day, range from thirty to flBy per Cent. The united fortune ofthe femaszajBrinravirate cannot be less_tliaJy$10Q/ioO,000, of which Mackay alone has $40,000,000. The rise of these men from poverty, to their present immense wealth is unparalelled in thejiisfbry of acquired opulence, TheyCare all yet in middle life, are cautiouvjagacious enterprising and thoroughly posted in everything relating to raining properties. Should they live a decade more they will be the richest men the world has ever seen.

He is au ardent Grant man b' the way. He said that already a poo ot nearly $3,000,000had been sqhscrib cd to make Graut the next President right or wrong. He says that besid this as much more raoucy as will b required will be put in the pool lb moment that it is needed. ODthi amount the same informant tells in that Mackay,, of bonanza fame, ha subscribed $500,000, and that othe persons on the Pacific coast hav “jined in” to the extent of makiiij $1,000,000 ot the $3,000,000 so fa promised. Of course there is no mean of telling whether this is so or not Time will develop it. however.
