Sensible people will agree that in one department of industry there has been over-production. There are too many of these hair-brained vagabonds by 100 percent.
As WILL bo seen by tho dispatch which we publish, Professor Swing has withdrawn from the Presbyterian Church, notwithstanding the fact that the decision on the heresy trial stood forty-five for aud only fifteen against him. Patton, who was the prosecutor of Dr. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, uaa appe«»iou Synod, and failing there will appeal it to the General Assembly aud it is to avoid the trouble incident to these renewed trials which his relentless persecutor seems determined to force him Into, that he now voluntarily withdraws, preferring to go on in his own way doing good to fussing over dry theological subtleties with the demoniac Patton. His course will be applauded. Anew sect will now be started, and if the cleruy of Chicago who voted for his acquittal will only be true to their convictions it will be stronger in that city than Presbyterianism.
HARRISON county, Indiana, has held its Democratic convention, and instructed its delegates to support M. C. Kerr for Cougress. No Inconsiderable political significance attaches to this instruction. Aside from the fact that Mr. Kerr made for himself during his carreer as Congressman a record as a member, at once prudent, careful, exceedingly able and thoroughly informed upon all questlonsjof pollti" cal economy—no Congressman from Indiana ever made a better record, aud we doubt if any ever made as good—he is known all over the country as a persistent and outapokeu advocate of free trado and hard money. Indeed, it was especially iu discussiou upon these subjects, that he made his high reputation as a scholar and thinker. His district might go far in search of a representatlve, and fare worse it could scarcey fare .better. Teh political significance, however, which attaches to this instruction relutes to the attitude upon the currency question in which it places tho Democracy of that part of the State. It shows that Democracy, iu at least one county of the State, is unalterably opposed to Inflation, repudiation, and all the patent nostrums of political quacks, which, in opposition to science aud reason, hold forth promises of great prosperiky, which are uever realised. The nominatiou of Mr. Kerr will relate to these and them alone. He uever made any capital out of the oolored brother, or captious opposition to the war and reconstruction,, cateriug to tlie prejudices aud animosities of his constituents, as, be it said to their shame, so many of his Democratic brethren from this and other States did. Pounded upon «ternal principles of justice' and truth, there is nothing in his record -of which lie cau feel' ashamed, aud of much of which he may justly feel proud. His district will do well to' send him to Congress now, aud to keep on sending him until the ,•»*•* State of Indiana, having retuVned j.*.: to her sober senses, and ceased ruuning after noisy demagogues whose care is tb say not the right, but what seems to be the most popular thing, shall put in her claim for hiaaervices in that broader field of political activity which she ought to reserve for those of her sons who have been faithful stewards over the few interests committed to their charge.

According to this new school of political economists, this country in particular, and tho world in general, Is going to the bad from overproduction. Too much of everything is produced. There is too much corn grown and too much wheat, too many cattle raised, and too much iron produced. To rid itself of this glut, the world is to work fewer hours. But euough of this nonsense.

the.mpst of it. We venture
the prediction that when Congress shall convene next winter it will be to adopt some decided measure for a return to specie payments, and he Wfll be a, very reckless man who will involve himself in debt this summer, in speculative enterprises, hoping for the flush times of illimitable inflation to pull him safely over the treacherous shoals And quicksands that so plentifully line the shores where stand the banks that hold his maturing paper,
But the Immediate fu.ure we do know. It is to be a continuation ot the present policy. The existing volume of curreney—no more, no less— must Buflloe us during the summer for the transaction of business. We believe that tlie present volume of currency is too great rather than too small and maintain the doctrine that that community, other things being equal, will accumulate riches the quickest and secure wealth the soonest which employs in the transaction of its business tho nimble sixpence, rather than that one which uses the slow dollar.
The question, however, now arises, of how the people of this city and county, who aio very vitally Interested mutually in the individual prosperity of each and the general prosperity of all, can best make the sixpences nltnble. To a consideration of this point we wish to direct the attention of the readers of the
GAZETTE,
and more especially of
its country subscribers, to whom, more than the dwellers iu tlie city, the advice we shall have to give, moredirectiy applies. What weshall have to say relates to the disposal of the surplus fuuds of the people. A popular delusion exists, particularly among iaruiers, lutiu muucj jo safeBt, and accomplishes its mission best, when it is hid away in an old stocking, or stowed in some old hair trunk, fairly turned gray with age. This is the logic of the silly fellow with the one talent which he hid away in the napkin, whose story is so graphically portrayed In the Bible. He kept his one talent—though we have always counted it as one of the miracles that some shrewd thief didn't find where he hid it and steal it from him—and that was all. In did not Increase it did notgrow it did not assist him it did not help the community in which he lived it was apositlve burden to him. Perhaps it may be pleaded for him that he lived iu an era before banks were established, and in that fact he may possibly find an excuse for his folly which the members of the stocking aud old truuk brigade of today, can not plead in extenuation of theirs. Now if the farmers of Vigo county, and for that matter, the merchants and laborers of the city, every body iu fact, young aud old, who are ever out of debt and ahead of the*world, no matted how little, would make a practice of starting and continuing a bauk accoiiut, several veryjbeneflcial results would follow: 1. That large class of the community whose pockets always burn when there is any money In them, would find this an excelleut assistant iu helping them to resist temptation, aud get a little ahead of the world. 2. Money Is more secure iu the banks an hundred fold than it is in any house, or carried on the person.
What with the chances of losing it from tbe person, or. of having it stolen, of a house buruiug or being burglarized, of mice getting into the stocking or truuk and making beds of it—this last danger only applies to our very excellent paper currency—there is small comfort and very sm«.ll security in loaning money outside of a bank. The country over it is an almost every day occurrehce for some out-of-the-way farm house to he robbed, aud-its owner killed, for the deposit in the stocking bank. 8. To the community at largo, this depositing of all the surplus aud unemployed money of the people in banking institutions aud transaction of business through them is of Incalculable advantage. To the needless withdrawal of deposits from the banks, by timid depositors, during and after the pauic, atid to the general lack of confidence inspired thereby, is largely attributable,,whatever of stringency there may now be In the money market or of stagnation lu business. It id not out of the fullness of, the heart, prompted by favors extended, that weiiow speak, for we never received any, but rathei* to give expression to a sterling'piece of truth, that we now say that the way our banks weathered the panic prove* them to be sound and deserving of the confidence of the people. Besfde&j:W© are firmly impressed with th« belief that when the people of, tbe,country shall cease clamoring for1 more money, .and begin to put what sur,*" ~-J- Ibauks but ca community at large, then times will be easier, and business revive. This is a matter Jn which thewhole com munity shield act, in

OF all the singnlar reasons for refusing to remove a Cabinet officer who lias been convicted, if not of the most criminal carelessness and densest ignorance, then of the mostde-* liberate falsehood aud unblushing knavery, the following explanation of Grant's unwillingness to depose iRichardson at the present time, is the moat unique. It is taken from a Washington telegram to tho New York Tribune:
WASHINGTON, May 17.—In conversation with a member of tho Cabinet, recently, on the subject of tbe Secretaryship of the Treasury, he said it was the most difficult matter possible to find a suitable man for that important
If a meaner insult could be offered the American people by their chief servant, or an unworthler cau8e be ascribed for retaining a dishonest official, we should be glad to know what it is. It is impossible after this to believe that Grant is not, along with Richardson and Butler, a partner In the Sanborn contract profits.
To SECURE his re-election to tbe Uhited States Senate it now seems as if it would be necessary for till? friends aud admirers of Carl Schurz to organize a new party. This Is not so difficult a matter iu Missouri as might be supposed. In that State it is easier of accomplishment than iu any other in the Union., There both of the old parties, from the beginning of the war until uow, have clung to the extremest of measures. There Republicans are radicals of the most pronounced stamp, aud Democrats are of the eternal hate, die-in-the-last-ditcli persuasion. Between these extremes there is ample materia], not only in argument, but in men, toform a new organization. This it will be the musiou of Seuator Schurz to accomplish. Once in the field advocating free trade, carried to the logical and inevitable conclusion of hard mouey, and no favoritism, the best elements of the old parties will rally to him. Presenting positive principles, it Will appeal with strougerforce to the reason of men than the plea of the Republicans for support because they are the "ins" and want to remain so, or of the Democrats that tliey are "outs" and want to be "ins."

Tlie Democratic Convention. With the particulars of the Democratic convention the readers of the GAZETTE are already acquainted, through the report published on Saturday. The complete list of candidates is republished to-day. The resotutidOSTead well, and we venture to say they, with the exception of what relates to the Baxter bill, will meet with the unqualified approval of every man, wolnan and-child, without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitnde, dwelliug on this or any other continent WO question, even, whether the inhabitants of tbe Sandwich Islands, since the advent of the missionaries,would Jiaye thie."cheek" to eay that there is any sentiment in them they do not cordially, nay. most enthusiastically, subscribe to. they array virtue against vise, honesly acaiust fraud, economy agaiust equanderation—this ia.our own word and is copyrighted—truth against falsehood, integrity against, knavery, indeed everything that is good and true and beautiful, against every thing that is base and false and ugly, and8 "we want to see the man—we want to talk to hfm like a father— who In this enlightened age, and this gel-lorlous country, would dare to fight against them. For obvious reasous which, need not be enumerated here, Benjamin F. Butler Is omitted from this challenge. The whereases, perhaps, might arouse a little spasmodic indignation among incorrigible dyed-in-the-wool Republicans, btft tbe great mass of them are pretty well apprised ot the fact that from'

sound the harp and dulcimer praise of Democracy's record. Upon tbe Baxter law, though, strong ground is takeu, and It is upon this that the Legislative fight will be made, if the Republicans will accept the gage of battle and take issue with them upon it. The personnel of Republicans the ticket for the county officers will be the Btrong point, and since good and bad are relative terms, and every man is good or bad, as the case may be, till a better or a worse man is found, we must reserve our uu 2 judgment until the Republicans have hatched their ticket. This, only, we will say, that Long and Royse ought not to, t.nd cannot be beaten, and that it will be heartless cruelty iu the Republicans to put up men for the farmer Auditor and the poet
Judge to mow down and write obituary poetry about.

was any longer a secret matter that Secretary Richardson would retire at as early a date as possible. Tbe names ofsoveral prominent gentlemen were mentioned, all being within the Republican party. Among them were Jnckson' 8. Schultz, Gen. Schneck, William Walter Phelps, and others, and tho Cabinet officer alluded to, referred to them in such away as to lead to the inference that they had been considered by the President. He said that Mr. Richardson would not retire, nor would the President remove him, while the newspapers were so bitterly opIWafJt^ainiOu AflA.jlenouncing him ident to change officers under fire, and that he would not allow the attacks now being made upon Mr. Richardson to disgrace him by dispensing with his service while the inference was possible that he was removed because ot revelations. When Mr. Richardson sees tho time that he can get out of office without subjecting himselt to the imputation that he waa driven out, be will certainly go, and it is said he will not go before.
portioned apparently in an inverse ratio to the indignatiou felt. For example, in so staid and generally correct a paper as the Cincinnati Commercial, a statement is made iu an article upon this subject which shows that the writer believes that the strength, of a dam must be proportioned to tbe superficial area of the water it is Intended to restrain. He says,"aud this —the dam—was expected to resist the
fills scores of papers, while a half hour's consultation of any simple text book upon natural philosophy, might suffice to convince even Darwin's connecting link, or a subscriber of the Weekly Journal, that tbe pressure of water depends solely upon its depth aud the length of the embankment upon which it presses. Ten acres or a thousand is all the same tbe depth and length of the restraining embankment being equal. Except for the rolling waves which rise upon the ocean, a canal bank would do for asea wall, the two dimeutlons mentfoued being the game. According to this new school of newspaper natural philosophers, it would take a wall a continent in width to hold back the sea. -jji-.
NAST is frightened at the spectre of retrenchment, and works himself into a fever-teat iu this week's Harper's, with a cartoon in which two skeletons, effigies each of depleted regiments of soldiers and marines, marshal themselves iu ghostly array before Miss Columbia and UucleSara. These latter bear unmistakable signs of disquiet on their countenances, the cause whereof the artist very kindly suggests iu some placards, bearing the following statements and interrogatories: "Retrenchment in the U. S. Army and Navy—Skeleton Regiments." "Retrenchment iu the Postoffice. It does not pay to make it a convenience to tbe people." "Are we too mean to exist?" "Does it pay to ruu a Republic?" "Does it pay to have a flag?" Were the artist's work not so faultlessly done, we should incline to think that Nast had lost his mind. The idea of our Congress, Cabinet officers, and President being too economical carries with it so much of the burlesque as to be incapable of provokiuga momeut'o seri-

War.
The Express of yesterday very properly sounds the bugle blast of war against the Mail and its anonymous writer of editorial abuse, and "disber up" of scandals aud libels over tbe nom de plume of Town Talk. It has been witbin tbe power of the Express and of this paper for many months back to strip the lion's skin ftom off this creature and show him to the people of Terre Haute iu his uaked deformity as an ass, whose bray from under the cover of his shaggy liou's skin has sounded like a roar, but was after all only the bray of an ass, and a cowardly one at that. On one conspicuous occasiou when the local editor of this paper was maliciously attacked by this same anonymous writer, though greatly tempted, we forbore to strip the mask from him and let his double-shotted batteries' pour their fire upon bis own devoted bead. It rests now with the Express, as the latest aggrieved^ to say whether or not thi* nondescript scribbler,with the venom of-a Serpent and the courage of a dove,shall longer contiuue to make war upon private individuals from behind the cover of an ambuscade, aud after the fashion of a Goshoot Indian.

The committee deserve the thanks community for putting off their convention until so late a day. Three mouths and a half for tbe canvass is enough, and to spare. There is another advantage So, delaying the holding the county convention until after tbe State has spoken. These be "critical times, my masters," and lt would not do to have county candidates fighting for the B&xter.bill and inflation, and the State candidates denouncing those doctrines, or victf versa. Such discordant notes iu the body of th£ tune could not fail to mar the effect of the chorus whereiu all are expected to hurrah for the grand and glorious Republican party. Besides, before June 27th a great convention of the farmers and workingmen wlll meetat Indianapolis, and the outcome of it may be the nomination of a State ticket, and the determination to carry the contest down into the various couuties. It is worth the while of the Republicans to let tbe farmers fulminate their thunder ,,first, ,,, and then see if they can steal any of it,afterwards. Their general success during the past in the appropriation of the property of others, warrants them in watching and waiting now. But time alone can reveal what the will do, and there is plenty of it between now and the election.

Benson's Lecture."
To the Editors of the Evening Gazette As announced, Luther Benson delivered bis second lecture, on temperance, at Dowling Hall, last woek. He had but half an audience, for that large hall, to hear him. Those who did hear him will not soon forget his wonderful ieat in oratorical display. He discourses ofM"""*, with a power of memory quite superhuman. When it is considered that Mr. Benson has but recently entered the field as a lecturer, and that, too, in a causo which has been worn threadbare with arguments, with reasons, and with anecdotes, by old and experienced veteran lecturers, it is not too much to say that his success in entertaining, and holding in close attention for more than an hour, a large and intelligent audience, —«a«riiit'and amazing. Another fact, too. attaches to tills newimov man, this more than a second Gough It is but a little more than six months since he was low down in the very

The "demon" had fastened his unrelenting fangs upon every nerve, sinew, muscle and bone of bis system. At the age of 26 he had become physically a man of 50, or more.

But his mind, tbe divine immortal mind, has survived tbe fiery ordeal, and he comes forth touched with the electic fire of heavenly inspiration, and with light ponred upon his mortal eyes, very little short of what "Saul of Tarsus" saw on his way- to Damascus, and at a time and a juncture in tho cause of temperance, that justifies the belief that he is raised op and seut forth of God to help deliver the people of this Stato fram the chains and slavery of intemperanee. It would have been well if every young man of this city indulging now in the moderate use of alcoholic drinks could only have heard last night tho burning, graphic words of one who told them in all the kindness of a fooling and sympathetic heart, tbe dangerous ground they are treading.

The Origin of Some of Longfellow's Poetry. From a Lecture by James T. Fields,
It is always interesting to know under what circumstances a poet has framed an Immortal poem, or sonnet, or song. As I happen to know something of the origin and Uirthof many of Longfellow's poems, let me divulge a few secrets In regard to tnem. The •'Palaiii of Life" come into existence on a bright summer morning in Jaiy, 1838, in Cambridge, as the poet sat between two windows at the small tablo in tho corner of his chamber. It waa^a •oice from his inmost heart, and he kept it for some time in manuscript, unwilling to part with it. It expressed bis own feelings at that time, when ho
his own heart for many months. He was accused of taking the famous verse, "Art iS lOfig and time is fleeting," from Bishop's poem, but I happehto know that was not In his mind, and that tbe thought came to him with as much "irom..no and originality as if nothing had been written oeTorw, reaper whose name is death" crystalized at once, without effort, in tbe poet's mind, and he wrote it rapidly down, with tears filling his eyes as be composed it. "Tho Light of the Stars" was composed as the poet looked out upon a calm and beautiful summer evening, exaetly suggestive of the poem. The moon, a little strip of silver, was just sotting behind Mount Auburn, and Mars waB blazing in tbe South. That fine ballad, "The Wreck of the Hesperus," was written in 1839. A violent storm had occurred the night before, and as the poet sat smoking his pipe about midnight by tbe fire, the wrecked Hesperus came sailing into his mind. He went to bed, but the poem bad seized him and be could not sleep. He got up and wrote tbe celebrated verses. "The clock was striking 3," be said, "when I finished the last stanza." It did not come into his mind by llfles, but by whole stanzas, hardly causing him an effort, but flowing without let or hindrance.
Oneofthebest known ef all Longfellow's shorter poems is "Excelsior." The word happened to catch his eyo late one autumn evening in ISM, ^on a torn

Dr. Howe was informed by the native pilot first to leave the vessel, and that Captain Lowery had sent for him. The Captain added that he would poll down the Dominican flag and hoist the company's standard, on the following day that he had heard the Captain announce this intention.

On reaching the frigate Dr. Howo was cordially received by the Captain who talked loudly of what he woohl do, saying that his instructional justified a forcible interferonoe, and that ho could and would leave a forca on the land to guard the Americans and their property, and furthermore that ho would go to the Capital of Santo {tomingo and bring President Gonzales to reason with hard shot if neeessary. Lowery offered to land a force at 11 A. M. next day, -Sahday, and carry out his designs. The news of Captain Lowery's determination spread rapidly apd caused great excitement which increased very much as the hour of 11 drew nigh but tho Captain changed his mind am made no effort to keep his promise. Dr. Howe recoivcd a lottnr from Lowery, about the time'that tho troops were-promised, in which he excusod himself for inactivity on the ground that it was Lord's Day, and he would do no work.' The letter contained various questions, to which Dr. Howo responded, giving the required information, and urging a forcible attempt at re-posesslon. On May 3d Lowery wrote that hp had docidod to relor tho matter to the Presidont of the Dominican Government, and therefore he would tako no steps In tho matter just then. This letter aroused tho wrath of Dr. Howe, who animadverts on its terms with much feeling. Dr.

jjajjjnco of Trade.
From thb Chicago Times
r8iys a repudlationlst finance philosopher: "If a man continues for any length of time to sell vastly more than he buyfe, ho will be pretty sure at length to accumulate a fortune. So ''.vltb a nation."
This Is ono of. tho pot sophisms of tho protectionists,' who bamboozlo themselves with tho "balance of trade'' fallacy. How, pray, Is it posslblo for a man to sell ipore than he buys, unless he gives It hwavT (which would not be selling at all). Selling and buying are merely the opposite terms tbat denote the relations ot tbe two parties to an ezebango. Tbe seller exchanges somo other commodity for money. Tbo buyer exchanges money for some other commodity. The vaiuo which orio gets is tho samo that tbo other KOIS. Each party gains an advantage in tbe transaction, but nothing else. Tbo notion that either party could ever accumulate a fortune by the mero exchanging of things is about as sensible as tbe story of the fifteen Yankees looked up together ip a room, every ono of whom, in tbe course of half an hour, mado two-and-slxponca swapping jackknives.
The man who produces moro than he consumes, and saves the value of the overplus, will accumulate a fortune. And so with a nation. Tbo ".balance of trade" has nothing whatever to do with it tbe balance saved over consumption is what does it. 1 J-UIJli
