n'tit fall, and to insure this re
snit-411e sooner the party is reorgan-.
ized-the better. The State, dist Act
and county tickets, will all be un
usually large, and it is. desirable that
the State ticket should be pia in the
"field at , "as. early a date as possible,
say not later than the month of May,
The pdrty must be thoroughly arous
ed, and all experience has- proven ,
that the earlier it is put in fighting
cOndition in ibis state the better.
"Short - 711a,rp and decisive /cam
paigns" are a - dangerous - experiment
for the nepublitans. The campaign.
of last- all was to, be one of that'
haracter, but it ended like M'Clel;
hill's, in falling
,back into the
trehchments. We cannot afford .tO
take`any risks
. in the coming cam-
paign,\and postponing the Convent
tion until a later
,period would be a
risk which ought to be avoided. The
State Co 'tee should be called
together And settle this (ies.
tion.
. \
The Rielimand\(Va). State thus,
concludes:an article , on the financial
question in :its issue of Jan. 29:
.
" It ksiugular that tlrese people of
the West should be so bltml to their
own future. Why shouldtheydesire to
repudiate or' even impair Ala& value
of their-bonds, no matter by\hom
they may be held ? • The capitalized
wealth of the country .is its debt.
The money is there in a tangible
and concrete form, and there for
their use. Arid -there also for our
use:; and all we are required is to pay
the lowest interest upon it. If any
portion of the people desired to- re- -
pudiate, it- should big the people of
the South. • I,t Was for their
.subjee
ti6n the debt was made. -Every dol
lar-of it represents a drop of South,.
ern blood. Itwas coinedin drachmas:
EVery slave they - owned was
turned into a $5OO bond, and foim I
its way to the North : and if we
were of a revengeful disposition, how
like Samson. now, - we. might -pall
dawn - theTillars of -this temple •of
_credit, ands overwhelm all= in the
ruins,: but, like 'Samson, We- should
be-found buried deepest under theM.
We should have had our revenge,
but in a sort that-we do not covet.
Instead of desiring Ito 'play the role
of destruetiVes, how different is our
attitude! The. South, as an integral
part Of the Union, is now affected by
everything that touches ; its honor,
and particularly its financial honor.
We cannot separate o.ursell'es frinin
the North, if we would, either.' com
mercially or financially. We 'are in
the same boat with them; tool flutist
all sink or swim, float or !ro to . -t-lie,
bottom, together„, There is noth
ing Sentimental or patriotic in this
desire of the - South to maintain
the • Adit of the countr -. It
-is altogether practical and '?selfish.
zWe are down now to e.lowest
depth ; have reached ft , bottom of
our ' Inst ditch,, Tina (hilly ; have
cleared away all tlu debris of the
panie, even of the IF , r_and are pre
pared to start ane and we want a
solid foundation o begin upon., A
rock that will ot, like - quicksands,
move front ura et= us the moment we
think our edifice -constructed ; there
fore we witi the debt to -remain in
violate ; . he currency to be settled
t
on al so qd g.ohl basis, that not only
°Ur r
./
, (lit may be good everywhere,
but ir moni.y may also he good and .
pas current for its face value in
ey i ecry portion of the world. That
the masses of the West. and North
do tint see that this is there tlrie in
terest also, should not make ns'e(pal=
,ly liliial to ours, licit should be a
sufficient inducement, I . (f- (mi• people
to Use every
such
intheir power
to prevent . madinen 'as Stanley
M a u l 6wg w o m scuttling our.stdp and
carrying- us all down to de4ruetion
together.. The interest of the" South
is to pay all„ debts—State, - Veer:Ll,
municipal, a id private—and main
tain , her commercial credit ; and in,
carrying out the settled -policy we'
should frown dower every form of
repudiation, direct or indirect, and
— avoi-d it' as the wor4-calarnity that
could befall our section." •
'A BHA, has been favorably repor
ted ht the Legislature at Harrisburg
in regard to the salaricii of county
superentendents of 'common schools.
It provides that after the present
term of those officers the compensa
tion paid shall be at the rate $2 Tor
eachimblic school in the county, az tl
$1 for each s:puare - mile of 'territory
tlui county limits. Counties
can pay, more than this, if they: see
proder but the excess must be paid
out of their re.spective'School appro
priations.

LETTER FROM KENTUCKY

them a sarter description of What, I have
seen: Leaving Cincinnati and going south
on the Kentucky ettitral Railroad, the
traveller is surprised at the barren rough
looking country—the - land` looks - to- ha
very poor and the buildings present a de

also been a source from which this place

'something like a distilleries in l'at'h~, and
