THE PALLADIUM.

futililil every Wednesday, f 1JS0 per year, stlCHMOXD. IIDN AMU SS. 1W74. . Ctly HMlin, " On Tuesday next. May Stb, the city election takes place for one Councilman . in each ward. The Itopublicans have made no nomina tions in , the First Ward ; bat the whisky Democrats selected, at their r contention, a Lzm whisky man tho meanest and dirtiest blackguard " that could be found in the wardto carry their banner. This has so " disgusted the better portion of the , Democratic party those who re gard religion and morals as higher than the whisky and beer interest 'i that they hare placed John Peter son on the ticket as an independent ( candidate, and we trust the citizens of our old ward will have self re spect enough to rally around Mr." Peterson and elect him. In the Second Ward, the Repub - , licans nominated Samuel Marlatt, the present member of Council from that ward, for re election; and the ' Democrats put in nomination II. N. Land. Both of these men are good tho only preference we could j give is in favor of our friend Mar- ''-' latt, bocaase of his Republicanism they are both representative working men, and fair representatives of our industrial classes. 1 n tho Third Ward, Thomas Nes- , tor is the Republican candidate a .temperafe, careful, prudent, business m in, and one of our best citizens, lie will be elected without . opposition -the Democrats feeling, in this ward, like the Republicans did in the First and Fourth Words, . that it's "hard to kick against the pricks." Tn the Fourth Ward, the present incumbent, N It C. Watt, was nominated by the Democrats. In the Fifth Vo'ard, the Repub-' licaos nominated J. 15. Vanaernam, - and the Democrats G. B. Dougan. Knowkg that this Ward is largely Republican, the Democrats are busily insinuating to Republicans, that Mr. V. A. is "a good enough Democrat for thara;" in fact, their leader, Mayor Elder, told us in so many wordfi, of their intenso satisfation, as a party, because of the Republican aeminee of the Fifth! If this were tho case, where was the use of that party putting Mr. Dougan in . nomination against him? The only Democratic and whisky organ in the city, is teeming with insinua "tions against the patriotism and po litical integrity of Mr. T. A., all for the purpose of causing dissatisfaction and sowing seeds of discord ' in the Republican ranks, so that ! they might, pe reliance, vote for Mr. - Dougan, or stay away from the polls and permit him to be elected by default. We hope tho Republicans, in the Fifth, will not be deceived by this clap trap talk about Mr. V. A He voted for President . Lincoln, and kkv&b participated with Democrats in their caucuses or conventions ; and the fact of his having, as a Liberal Republican, ' voted for Horace Greeley, does not bar him from again acting with the i Republicans a particle more than ' the fact that Mayor Elder ceased to .be a Democrat when he supported Breckenridge for President, instead of Douglas. Mr. V. A. is a prudent, business man and the best interests of our city would be subserved by his election ; and for his "record of patriotism and political integrity, Republicans much prefer the testimony of Judge Kibby, CoL Dudley, II. C Fox and others of his lifelong neighbors, rather than .give a moment's heed to election eering slanders concocted by Dem--ocrats and published in the Whisky ring's organ the daily Independent, against him. We hope the Republicans of the Fifth Ward, will pay no heed to the "tares" that Democrats are trying to cultivate on their soil ; bat will, to a man, rebuke their impudence, by unanimously supporting the fairly nom inated candidate in their ward, T. B. Vanaernam. "The bmI Hw. During the session of the Presbytery in our city, the Rev. M. Sluter, and two other Ministers, deemed it proper to - enter their protest against the temperance doctrine of total abstinence from intoxicating liquors; thereupon, the editor of the "Shelby Republican, refers to Rev. Sinter's former position on that question, under the head of "Then and Now," which we copy on our first page to-day. . The Republican of the 23d, makes a slight correction of its former article, in regard to Miss Way's visit there statmg that it was the Rev. Walker who was the pastor at that time, instead ol Rev. Sluter. A rumor is prevalent that the ease of Mrs. Nancy E. Clem, for the murder of Jacob Young, Sept. 12, 1867, on trial in the Boone Circuit Court, was dismissed, because Marion county will not furnish funds to prosecute the case, and that she is now at liberty.

The Whiakyite. of Elkhart are talking about jEfarting a daOy paper to advocate - their interest Ex ' change.'" v , The -Whiskyites" of Richmond have a daOy, that is entirely devote ed to their interests; whilst it is ostensibly sweet on the temperance men, by playing occasionally a tern- , peranee tune on their organ, so as to induce - temperance men and women to patronize it . Out . npon such hypocracy!

: Our friend Mrs. D. M. Jordan don't fancy Murat Halstead's manners, and jerks out this bit of com pliment to his paper and ''cremation" to himself: "His paper is the best newspaper west of the mountains, and the people bear the ill-breeding of the proprietor for the sake of what he produces.'' at r Contraction. ; It will take some time to get the public to understand what the real effect of the Senate finance bill would have been. The inflationists supjtosed it meant inflation, and the contractionists agreed with them; but when its provisions were analyzed, it became evident that the practical effect would have been contraction. Aven if the 40 millions of national hank currency had been taken up, there would nave been contraction by re ason ol a change in the law affecting bank reserves. whereby banks were required to . keep a larger proportion ot their reserve in their own vaults than formerly. Tbe Senate bill did not affect the greenback roserve, except to authorize a measure the legality of which was ouet-tioned The Secretary of the Treasury had paid out 26 millions of the 44 millions reserve, leaving la millions on hand. The Senate bill fixed 4U0 millions as the maximum greenback currency, bat it was not mandatory upou the Secretary of the Treasury to use the IS millions of the reserve on hand, nor did rP prohibit him from withdrawing the 2G millions of the reserve already used. 1 lie Senate bill, therelorc, did not affect the scserve at all. except to establish beyond question tho legality of the issue. Under the Senate bill the Secretary of the Treasury would have naa an tne power over uic reserve that ho has without it no more, no less. He can not, without a law of Congress, contract the greenback currency below 35G millions; but between that amount and 400 millions he has 44 millions to play with. This power he would have had uuder the Senate bill, and this is all the power he has without it. It is not correct, therefore, to say that the veto of the Senate bill authorises contraction beyond what was authorixed without it. So far as the greenback currency is concerned it stands precisely where it would have stood if the President had signed the Senate bill, except that the latter settled the question of legality. In regard to tbe national banks, the Senate hill authorized an increased issue cf 4C millions, but it made such provisions with reference to the reserve that would have offset that inflation, even had the whole amount been taken up. Suppose, for example that the hanks of this city are required to hold a reserve of two millions. They are now permitted to keep half of that in New r'ork. It is there loaned out to the extent of $750,000. Under the v-:n . 500.yOCuf the reserve T TaT T f 1 I could be kept in New York, of which only 5d7o,000 could le used there. Thus on two - millions there would have been an actual contraction of $325,000. Ia liko manner the country banks that keep their reserves in Cincinnati would have been required to withdraw a large portion. Thus that portion of the reserve which is now kept in use would have been locked up. This would have created au immediate disturbance, and in the . end, had the whole forty-six millions allowed to national banks been taken up, the volume of available currency would not have been increased. Furthermore, this bill required that the national banks should keep in vaults twenty-five per cent, of the gold interest received on bonds deposited as sectrityfor their circulation. Thss six millions of gold would have been withdrawn annually from the market a rni i m ana locxea up. mis wouia nave strengthened tne banks for ultimate resumption, but it would have strengthened the ring who speculate in gold for a rise, also, because the operation would have made gold scarce, by putting it out of reach. How the inflationists could, in view of all the facts, have regarded the Senate bill, in itself, as a measure of inflation.and wliy the anti-inflationists should have opposed it on that ground is a puzzle. In point offset the Senate bill in itself was a conservative measure rather than a measure of inflation; and the provision against keeping one half or two thirds of the reserve ia New York was a good one. Thus surplus ia loaned ou call to speculators, and when the country needs the money, and it ia withdrawn, the usualpanic in- the stock market occurs. These panics affect the whole trade of the country, more or less. , The President, then, in vetoing the Senate bill has accomplished nothing, except to give notice that he will not approve any bill that inflates the currency. This is all there is in it. The bill he vetoed would not have inflated the currency. His veto does not contract the currency. It leaves matters precisely as they were. Without congressional action the currency can not he contracted, except that the Secretary of the Treasury might, if he had the means, withdraw and place in his vaults the 26 millions of the reserve paid out last winter to relieve the prevailing panic. This is the full extent of his power. It is more than any man ought to have, but the Senate bill did not increase or diminish it The temper of the majority of Congress is such that there can be no contraction of the currency, while, it there is any way of inflating without, running against a veto, it .will likely be done. Yesterday propositions were made to reduce the tax on State banks to one per cent This wonld place them on an equal footing with national banks, and would revive to some extent the State bank system. Bat the President would not sign a bill to that effect. . . A joint resolution, not requiring the signature of the President, might be iased prohibiting the Secretary of the Treasury from withdrawing the twenty-six millions of the reserve now out and this will likely be done; but in the direction of inflation but little can be done, unless the President changes his mind, which is not probable. This is the assurance the country has that we are not to have indent uite inflation. Upon this assurance we shall not have wild speculation, but a revival of business upon a healthy basis. Cin. Gazette, April 24th.

ti Wejaesdsy last the President sen to the Senate hi message vetoing the Currency act The news caused very considerable excitement, for the impression had gone abroad that he wa satisfied with it. The East era capitalists were elated, while the people of the ' West feel disappointed. The friends f the bill think the President's position untenable, and that npon a lull discussion of the reasons stated by him for the veto, he may be rod need to recede and sign some uieas-" ure of relief that may he agreed apoa. There has been considerable rejoicing among Democratic Congressmen over the prospect split among some leading Republicans and the Administration. Vincennes Times. :

Trouble im ' For nearly two weeks tbe country has been kept in excitement by tbe accounts of threatened civil war in Arkansas, and at one times serious collision between tbe contending parties seemed imminent but the latest advices indicate a peaceable solution of the difficulty. . The controversy is between Elisha Baxter, who claims to be and has been acting as Governor of the State, and Joseph Brooks, who claims to be the legally elected Governor, both having seemingly about an equal number of supporters. The former managed to have certain votes thrown out when the vote was canvassed, thereby securing the election, end was hworn in. Mr. Brooks applied to the court to have him ousted, and after a long coutest succeeded in obtaining a judgment against him. Armed with tbe order of the court, and taking sufficient force with him, he took possession ol the executive departnfeitt, forciog Governor Baxter to retire. Tho latter established his headquarters elsewhere, and proclaimed martial law at Little llock. Both began to collect forces to maintain their authority, end ; a collision seemed unavoidable. Baxter appealed to President Grant J for assistance, but it was refused. ColJiose commanding the U. . torces at Duvall'a Bluff, was ordered to Little Rock with a detachment of regulars to preserve order and prevent a collision. AffaiHfwere thus held in abeyance for more than a week. Col. Hose interposing to keep tho armed followers of attacking each other. ' At latest advises. Baxter seemed to I be losing favor with the people, and telegraphed the President he would call the Legislature together and have them settle the question. - agreeing to abide by its decision; He accordingly issued a proclamation convening the Legislature. Brooks, however, in the meantime, remains in possession of the State House and Governor's office. The militia were disbanding and returning home. The Pku ana too FlaMifn. It is our impression that the leading New York dailies are edited by a mob of gold brokers, for such useless excitement, confused bellowing, ex plosion of epithets, and wild clamor as they make daily upon the currency question, is like nothing that we re member except the Uolil frxehange when it was in the hight of itsphrenzy. Every movo in Congress in favor of an increase of the currency is denounced as bribed, blundering, brutal, beastial: the members who surnort it are personally maligned; their names are printed in a black list, and future ages are exhorted to remember them with scorn. And all this for what? Simply because they obev tho clearly expressed wish of the people. Inere is no doubt that the country at large has asked for, demands, and has right to have, more currency. In what way Congress phould grant this request is a matter ot much concern: a subject about which authorities and opinions will differ widely; and in considering it Congress has needed thoughtful advice and temperate cautions. It has had furious, irrational, incoherent abuse. Elsewhere than in New York the leading newspapers of cities and towns will be found to be cither divided in opinion or entirely favorable to an increase of the currency. The question is one upon which men not having a lefsonal interest would be doubtful how to act. Authorities are at variance, end facts, even those of our own history, are obscure, or difficult of interpretation. What interest in the matter have the New York editors, which causes them to lose their heads, scorn logic, throw decorum to the winds, and rage like infuriated fishwomen? What does it mean? It will be remembered that but a few months ago the President of the United States and his Secretary of the Treasury were besieged in a New York hotel on a Sunday by a halfcrazed mob of brokerSj bankers, and business men, who insisted that the Government should loan to them, upon pledge of collateral securities, the reserve of greenbacks held by the Treasury. Such action was conceded to be without authority, and, indeed, contrary to law; but the plea was made that the exigency required it, and justified it, and Kcverdy Johnson was employed to give a quasi-legal opinion to that effect. THe tide has now turned.' New York has a plethora of currency, but all over the country there is stagnation of business; production has ceased, and thousands of workmen arc threatened with starvation. It is believed that such action as Congress proposes to take will relieve this distress. We do not know that it will, but the people think so; a majority of Congress feels like trying the experiment, and it is in every sense lawful. It is singular what different regard the New York dailies have given to the proposition to increase the curiency unlawfully, to save Wall street from suspension, and the other proposition to increase the currency in a lawful way, to save workingmen from starvation. We begin to think that General Butler's contempt of the public press is justifiable. Industrial Bulletin. ' The National Prison Association will hold its third annual congress at St. Louis, May 13, l574. The session will continue six days. The eight regular committees will submit their annual reports, covering the entire subject of the prevention and repression of eriate. It is intended that ample time shall be afforded for an interchange of opinions and experiences by the officers of penitentiary, reformatory, and preventive institution, and the presentation of views and arguments by others entitled to the floor. Invitation to attend is extended to all interested in the subject of prison reform. The principal hotels have reduced their rates to delegates, and most of the railways have reduced their fare. The exercises will be opened by an address by exGovernor Seynionr, of New York; an address of welcome by Governor Woodson, of Missouri; responses by the Rev, Dr. Bittinger, of Pennsylvania, and the Rev. Dr. Bellows, of New York.

. Deal afJota WmUl MoMowojr. Died of consumption, at his residence in ladianapololis, on Monday morning, April 20lh, John Marshal Holloway, aged 39 years. The deceased was the eldest son of the Hon. D. P. Holloway, formerly of this city, but now of Washington, D.C. Death is no stranger; there ia not a day, au hour . or minute that passes over us, but that some recruit or vet eran in the great army of life, does not drop by our side or within our sight. There are seeds as well as in strumeuts of death, and they are sown everywhere, in every country and in every clime; all countries fear this fruit alike none escape it The brotherhood of . mortality meet at the common gate-way, wide and ever open, through which all, soon or late, are destined to pass. Thither our bewildered footsteps be they swift or be they slow--are constantly tending. Shortly after the inauguration of the late civil war the deceased entered the army as Captain of Company L, Seventy-first Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, (Sixth Cavalry,) and was shortly after taken prisioner in East Tennessee, and was confined in Libby Prison at Richmond, Va., for several months. Tho cruelties and hardships of that prison were a great strain upon his already delicate nature, and it was there that tho seeds of this fell destroyer were planted, the effects cf which he suffered from, more or less, ever since. , Tho deceased possed traits of character that made him susceptible of the warmest personal friendship, . and there are many acts of kindness, many a generous deed, mana work of charity, aud many a token of pure friendship . standing .to hi credit on the great book of Gods remembrance. Ho was faithful in all the relations cf life, and enjoyed the confidence and respect of his neighbors and associates. His nature was as true and guileless as that of a child, and there was not the slightest tinga of malignity, or Eelfishncss, or envy in his nature. He was always the same kind, social and unassuming friend. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss, but their Borrow is alleviated by the confident assurance that he, who was so fondly devoted to them, has entered upou the rewards of a well spent life. Tho obsequies will take place from h:s lato residence, No. 43 Fletcher avenue, Indianapolis, to-day, (Wednesday,) at 2 o'clock, p. m. t . .

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink,'' that putteth thy bottle to him,' and - xuaketh him drunken also, - that- thou may eat look on their nakedness! Thou art filled with shame for

glory; drink thou also, and tho cup of the Lord's right hand shall be turned ' unto thee and shameful spewing shall be on thv glory. For tho violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of the beasts which made them afraid. because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land," of the city, and of all that dwell therein. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, lest ye die; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. Be not among wine bibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh ; for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. Now, therefore, beware, I pray thee, and.drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing. Wine is a mocker and t trong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby, is not wise. It is not for kings, oh, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine ; nor for princes strong drink; lest they drink and forget the law, and prevent the judgment of any of the afflicted. In tho day of our king the princes have made bun sick with bottles of wine; ho ttretcbed out his hand with sccrners. Yea also, because he transgress eth by wine, he is a proud man, neither koepeth at home, who enlargeth bis desire like helL and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and beapeth unto him all people; for they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they he in wait; their baker sleepetli all the night; in the morning it burneth aa a flaming Cro, i . Woo nnbo them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! And the harp, and viroL the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither con sider the operation of his hands. Woe unto them that are migity to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink; which just ify tho wicked for reward, and take ! away the righteousness of tho righteous from him. Therefore as the fire devoureth the Btubble, and tho flame consum eth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust ; because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and deppised the word of the Holy One of Israel Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are ou the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all ' the kingdoms of tho world, which are upon the face of the earth, and the king of She&hach shall drink after them. Therefore thon shalt say unto them thus saith the Lord ot hosts, the God of Israel; drink ye and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you; for while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be de vdured as 6tubblo fully dry. Awake, ye drunkards,, arxl weep ; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your month. They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I am the song of the drunkards. For their wine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, ' their clusters are bitter. Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink aro out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way . through strong drink; they err in vision, tliey 6 tumble- in judgment For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, bo that there is no place clean. Who bath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath babbling? who halh wounds without a cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou npon the wine when it is red, when it givethj its color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright At the last it bitetb. like a 6erpent and stingeth like an adder. ' Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Yea, thon shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or he that lieth on the top of a mast They have stricken me shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they Lave beaten me and I felt it not; when shall X awake? I will seek it yet again.:. Whoredom and wine and new 1 wine take away thy heart . And be not drunk with wine wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revileis, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. - Touch not; taste not; handle not , General Augur, who commands the Department of Texas, has just been elected a vestryman in St Mark's Episcopal Church, Sao An tonio which augurs well for the "era of good feeling."
