The Impending Crisis. IniltntfWlU Kttidntl. The people of tho United States are

abilities. Universal bankruptcy stare them in the face. The force which will crush them are in operation. There wan an abundance of money. Then everybody was at work. The music of machinery encircled the land. There iknrmonv. Contidcnce wati enthroned wroiiht. Idleness has dethroned labor. RthJhMUken the pUc- of Mtmy and, though tne narvests nave been bountiful, destitution and starvation are the guests of millions of worklngmen. Mendicancy has increased at a fearful ratio. Tramp are still multiplying. Men of means and enterprise have been compelled to surrender to the inexorable demands of contraction. Machinery atanda still, and rust corrodes the shinlag aha ft. Only one class of citizens have been benefitted money sharks and those who bought government beads. And to create an aristocracy oi bondholders thia wad change in the affair of the country has been wrought. The cry was set up for "par 'money," and to obtain it the country stands iodar on the verge of ruin. The governme nt created tne "green oacK ' and made it a "legal tender" except for certain! I debt due the frovernnieit. If there had! ., heon mi hnnest desire to maLrn tin, jrcenback "par money," it could have )eu secured In a day. AH that was accessary was to make it receivable for all debts due the government. Instead of this, a currency that cost the people nothing at all has been crvsLilized into bonds costing millions, in the shape of interest. But the miserable heresy not stopping at this, a further demand was set un for "specie payments." "fteautnption" became the watchword, and the money sharks stood ready to profit To resume was to contract; te contract the carrency wan to destroy values, bankrupt the people, paralyse business Had enable the moneyed claos to grow rich by the impoverishment of the manses. Tho process worked like a charm, and bankruptcy kept well abreast of contraction. It has been shown that from 154 to 1877 contraction amounted to bHSiiieB lailure rcacneii ji,d3,fiu,4ig. This contraction is still going forward, and failures are as certainly increasing; in fact the outlook Is becoming m intensely haggard that the people, without regard to party, are demanding a change of poiicv. John Sherman, Hayes's sccretarv of the treasury, regarding himtielf a the financial autocrat of the country, has determined io interpret me law ferblinM'lfahd to go forward regardles of couscHiiencea. Tho statements put forth by the comptroller of the curreuc.v mi-a well calculated te mislead the public, and arc caught up by those wno labor in the Interest of the moneyed class to urge John Sherman forward in liisiutHmous policy. la his late report John J. Knox, comptroller of the carreiicr, state that on the 1st of July, 1877 the uatleual bank notes and greenback In circulation were as followr: National bank notes out standing f,llft,620,S47 Greenbacks oatstanding, - 859,764,833 , Total, 675,3S4,579 The statement, however, conveys an erroneous idea of the currency In circulation, since it does not show the amount tied np and virtually withdrawn from circulation, "a reproduce the figures, as they have a direct bearing upon the question: Reserves in banks, - - 45,000,000 Ueld in treasury lor redemption of certificate of de- -posit, 4D,80,000 Ten million fractional cur rency fund. i.iiTlil To retire notes of insolvent banks aud general currency balance, 12,500,0(10 18,000,000 13,327,55'J Due disbursing officers, To retire hank circulation, Total, I ' , '.mZyiZt: ' t lira is nearly "t.OMMOO .to be 1, leaving only $21j .784,509 ;ks n circHlatlon.

JHit thm it hy no moans tne worst feature 01 tne cat, iur irnim mc

i

amount of currency in Already contracted far below tie business wants of the country, the contraction policy is still in full blast. What in demanded

mo prompt arrest oi Sherman's poiicv of contraction. What can be done? The people can protest. The right of petition is guaranteed. The facta run be set forth in such a lucid and forcible manner that the people's representativps will not dare to turn a deaf ear to.theni. No time should he lost. There should be county, district and atate conventions, and the pqoplo should speak llironirli such potential organizations aa will coinmand attention ow U the time to set the ball in motion. The people are ripe for the movement, and if concert of action can be had, the first acts of congress will arrest the contraction polh-v or nnerman ana repeat the resumption law. If Hayes and Wheeler do not hold their offices by "virtue of an election," then they hold them without authority of law. The' electoral coiimiisfiou wa' not empowered to make a president and vice president, but was chosen to deter mine who were legally elected, and they did decide that Ilayca and Wheeler were legally elected, and bv authority of the constitution and laws should be in augurated. Journal. i Hayes and wheeler do not hold their offices "by virtue of an election." Thcyj hold their oniees by virtue of the most damnable fraud ever perpetrated in t his or any other country. They hold their offices by virtue of forgery and perjurv, crimes for whioh four returning board conspirators arc now UHder indictment and for which they are certain to go to tne penitentiary miscreants that the Journal awkwardly defends. Tke elec toral commission was created to hear the testimony in the cate, and its decision that Hayes and Wheeler are "leirallv elected" was a crime quite aa infamous as that committed by Wells and his con federate vidians. Judas Bradley is a fit associate ef the men who are now charged with the crime of forgery, and his name will forever be associated with the returning board criminals. It is too late in the day for the poor old Journal to commence whitc-washiag' the electoral commission though there may be swag in it. lndiasapolis Sentinel. Tun New York police eonrt was the stasre where the most alien ting bit of real life was shown a few days ago. A month or two fincc a woman was sentenced to Dlackwell's Island far throe months. Her oiTenta was drunkenness and it wa clearly proven that this was her llrt offense. Last week her linn band beeped the judge to allow his wife to oe released that she might return to her home. There were six children to bo provided for and they needed sorely the care of the mother who had always been kind aud thoughtful until she got drunk, tho only time in her life. At the home a little corpse awaited her, for one of the children had been drowned. She was released, and her husband embraced her tenderly and she promised never to touch liquor again. Standing by the coffin of her boy, with her other children about her, she pledged her word to the minister to lead a new life, and, although there was poverty and death, there was also jov and thanksgiving in that home in the one narrow, miserable street of New York. No Compromise With Franel. tBoMMI rMt. Charles Francis Adams has done the couatry substantial service its repeating the warning against the repetition of the gigantic fraud by which the popular will was dethroned on the 4th ot March last. Whatever courtesy the people may bestow upon the representative of the executive department, whoever he mar be, it must not detract from a con stant antagonism against a breach of ipubllc virtue, or impair vigilance in protecting the republic against the repetition of a deadly assanlt upon Its organic life. "Silence and acquiescence in the iniquity which placed Hayes in the executive chair" can not be permitted, as Mr, Ox well said before Tammany. It is neither Just to him, politic to the country nor safe for the foundations upon which free instllutioiisarc based. Tiik Now York physicians are very ,,m Just uppMredJn tlmt city.
