The voice of warn ing is becoming su emphatic that it can not be ignored or misinterpreted." The governor of South Carolina on the 12th of April. 1874, pardoned t wen ty aoen convicts out of the penitentiary because the state was too pour to keep them. They marched in .& body to the state house and asked for relief. Again, out of thirty-one county treasurers in the state, twenty are in default, to the amount of $500.000. Of sixty grand and petit jurors drawn for the last noun ty code at Beallort only one WSJ white or could read. Such is radical rule.

The St. Paul Pion& r says: We want to enter a protest against the assumption of the eastern press that the people of thl West favor infla'ion. It is the' mis fortune of this section to he as badly niis represenitaf in eongrets on that as on nearly every other public question. Not a public meeting of any kind, nor board of trade, nor a single citizen that we have heard of, boa petitioned for any such stu pendous folly ; and as for that matter. editors of the most in teliigtii t newapapers are opposed to it. Willie the public sen timent of the state is rep.esenteti at Washington as all one way, the fact is that inflation cannot muster a eorpor.tis guard among men of average education in Minnesota. A rrobibitory liquor l.tu 1 as d een i n existence itr tire borough of 13radruck Al legheny county. some 1870. Lust week this law, at toe instance of R pregentatice Wainwright, who resides at Bradreck was repealed by the Rouse of Represen t...tires. Opposition , t 3 local option was not the motive lur this action. Alleghe ny is a•cnanty which decided by an over whelming vote in favor of the sale of in toxica!ing liqzrors, and to the end that this .I,cision be made uniform, it was tormeht . proper by Mr. Wainwright that special legislation on the snhject in behalf of 13radroek should be expunged. if the county, as a -svholo, ..desires absolute pro hibitionrall right ; but arempted prohi bition in detached sections or segments of, the county is proiaourced alike unprofit elle and unja_t. The bill passed by Note ul 68 to 16. The Charlestown Yews and Courier enters into a long explanation of the grounds upon which' the tax-payers of South Carolina ask Congress for aid. It says the present form of government was eitablished in the State by Congress, and since that body is therefore responsible for the evils which it has caused, it ought to take such, measures as will redress the wrongs inflicted. In such a condition of affairs, it thinks all talk about. State 'Eights is :sheer meckery, and in .conclu sion says: .."lire feel that we are on the verge of min.; that bands of robbers, in the name of Government and under the f..rms of the law, are wasting our re sources, devouring our substance, and conftsmtingoor property; and as we may not take rims - in our hands for our own redress, weituty call upon the common Government"and to interpose in - the Lterests and peace, and to provide. acme. , suitatde remedy ior the grteretis wrungn that hnvegrown directly t of los own "r.^. 7 :ALS:W.I64IIe g!ttitilt." The Reno (Nevada) Journal says that after a long and dreary winter, spring has at last opened, and,. as the snow recedes from the valleys, the farmers-are all,buSy putting in their spring crops.' The past winter has been the hardest 'ever eiperi t need in this country. Many have lost all the hvo stock- they possesed,-and all have lost a large per cent. of their stock. Honey Lake Valley has probably suffered most. The hay crop having been short the past year, nearly every one was obliged to buy.and consequently the few , men who had any'raised the price, demanding what ever they wished. Hay has been sold in Honey Lake fur $9O per ton, and in Susanville it commanded, at one time. 5130 per ton. Yet stock are still dying, and a person riding through Honey Lake Valley can hardly get out of sight of dead and dying cattle. Sheep have faired bet ter titan the cattle,but at present t.hey,too, are dying very fast from the effects of the alkali which they got in their stomachs while eating the shprt grass which is just sprouting. The uew financial policy is probably foreshadowed in the following paragraph from the special correspondence of the Baltimore Sun, of Met week : The senate finance committee held a meeting to-day for the purpose of matur ing a new financial bill: The new bill, it is understood, will contain certain fea tures of the old bill originally reported from the committee, with a number of important additions. Among these will be more definite provisions for free bunk ing and redemption. The committee will hold another meeting to-morrow, and will hear the views of several of the leading senators who voted for the currency bill lately vetoed. The free banking section iii the new bill the committee agreed to day should provide for a retirement of forty per cent, of legal tenders to proper.' thin as the volume of the banking cur rency is increased until the aggregate amount of legal tenders outstanding is diminished to $300,000,000. The fixing uk, a time fur specie resumption will be considered to-morrow, and three or four years hence agreed upon. The house currency bill will not be reported. The committee have assurances that the house will probable accept free banking, with other provisions contemplated in the new bill. Congressional Opinions of the Veto. Simon . Cameron is reported to have de elated that the President's veto of the in flation bill was the hardest blow the Re publican party ever received, that it would lead to its defeat next fall through out the western and northwestern states, where it ought to be the strongest, and would endanger Pennsylvania. Cameron intends to stand by.his position, in favor of inflation, in spite of the veto. Judge Kelly declares that the doctrines of the message are fatal to the republican party. Ile thinks the Republicans of the eastern states will unite with the Democrats in favor of hard money, while there will be a coalition of men without distinction of parties in favor of a largely increased currency throughout the west and south, Senator Logan says Grant has killed thin g . ;n Maws. — Senator Kenton ex presses his belief that the veto demolish es the Republican party. Senator Win dom, of Minnesota, avows his belief that the veto will fluil very few Republicans to sustain it iu the north-west. nipple Mitchell, the much married Senator from Oregon, voted for the bill. being the only Senator from the Pacific slope who did so, and he says." "the veto is a great politic al mistake."So muck for the opiniort.of prominent Republican congressmen. The Erie on Temperance. Section Ist, Article Ist, of the general regulation of the Erie Railway Company reads as follows : 1. "No man who uses intoxicating drinks can be depended upon in railroad service, and it is the intention of this Company, as tar:as practicable,to deny em ployment to all men who drink intoxica tine drink." This is commented upon and quoted extensively by prohibition advocates us "high authority" of great weight upon their side. If the above regulation were impartial ly enforced against all in the service of the Erie Railway we doubt if there would be a General or Divison Superin tendant, President, Vice President, Director or Stock bolder left on the road. It is won derfully easy for the wealthy and aristo cratic to be hypocrites, advocating laws for others .while violating them every day themselves. We had men, to a great number, in our eounty who voted for -Local Option". that would not have done eo if they were not assured • that they could have all kinds of liquor ,in their cellar for their own use. They "had no settled principles of temperance, but sim ply a desire for a cheap reputation on that question for a political purpose or some other. When Men teach by example as well as precept, and enact, and enforce laws for the honest prosecution of abstract evil, instead of the persecution of certain individuals, true virtue will be cultivated and protected, instead of being violated and debauched by fanatical, bigotted hy pocrisy. A Repithbeau Party In llnaafi. At a meeting of the repablican state central committee of Illinois, on the 14th inst., Ur. L.O. Flossing, aheretofore proin loan t republican leader, was culled upon foi a speQoh. A bomb-shell exploded in the room would not have more astonish ed. his auditors than Mr. Messing's re sponse. We giro some of his most tell. ing points': Listen, gentlemen, to the thirteen reto. !upon - of the Philadelphia conventicin, 4%i3. E.O brig like it is in connection with recent eventc and, the oninie ruined lip pair representatit'es Tti ! nilllittoiein the Cnited Stagg : f e; ? if•tbe pu • ciple solemnly enunciated by the party, "We denounce repuditaion of the pub lic debts, in any form or disguise As a na tionalcrithe. We witness with pride the redaction: of the principal . .ief the debt, and of the rates of interest upon the-bal ance, dna confidently expect that an ex celent national currency will be perfected by _a speedy resumption of specie pay ments." A speedy resumption of specie pay mentd, gentlemen 1 - What do you think of that in,the face of the fact that your illuatrious statesmen of Illinois, Mr. Lo gan and Mr.Oglesby, are attempting to rob the laboring mon, and are bringing this country iutd -disgrace in the eyes of civilized people by their labors to secure the issue of $44,000,000 more currency. I believe the people need more money,but it should be based. on something more substantiat than promises to pay. Where is all this going to stop ? Suppose next year they printsl,ooo,ooo,ooo instead of $44,000,000, They would have precisely the same right to do it. The republican party, by its statements, as they are called, will compel people who have to buy goods imported front Europe to pay from five to ten per ceilL more then if the forty second congress never existed. If you want to indorse Logan indorse him, but I will not. Indorse Oglesby, too, if you like. He has an ounce of lead in his leg, and I suppose he ought to be indursed whatever he does. I will not indorse him . Your party is torn asunder, gentlemen— there is nothing left of you. Where is your Philadelphia platform ? You licive none. What is then left of the republi can party but office, otlice, office, and what mission has it now but to supply of ticeseekers with fat places. I will not be long to any party that has no higher aim or aspiration than office. When there is nothing left to a party bat office I will not have anything more to do with it. I prefer to be, and shalt be, independent, without the incumbrance of party ties, and lying platforms. LA me read another paragraph of the Philadelphia platform and then let me show now the party has lived up to it : "The republican party proposes to re spect the rights reserved by the people to themselves as carefully as the pow( rs del egated them to the state and to the federal government. It disapproves of theresort to unconstitnional laws for the ipurpose of removing evils by interference with rights net surrendered by the pee plo of either the state or tuitional govern meet." Your party has gone bask on it, and has iudorsed the crnsaders, and passed laws subversive to personal libe ty I have carried out the principal embodied in this resolution. The republican party has not. What right has any man \ in this room to interferewith me in my person al affairs? Who has a right to dictate to me what or when I shall drink ? have always been a temperance man, and no other nun tia.s a right to dictate to me so long as I du no harm to any one else. I tell yon, gentlemen, sumptuary laws have helped to k.ll the party. Do you know that 100,000 people who always supported the Republican party have been kicked out by sumptuary laws, and they will never go back. I believe what Robert Caper said in his pul pit, that we are educating, a nation of hypocrites, who have an ice pitcher on the table and whisky in the cupboard. Then: is no use in legislation of a sumptuary nature. Men will not bd legislated into righteous ness. The pnlpit and the school house are the places to inculcate morality. You may control railroads and stage coaches by your laws, but you cannot control the appetites of the people. Why do you not pass laws to make me carry a Bible around on my head or tie it to me with a chain, and compel roe to read it for an hour every day ? The time is coming when you will find oat your mistake. The country is corrupt and rotten ; it is going to the devil, and the time is coming when not an honest or a decent man will be left in the legislative bodies. ,Let us look over pretended morality and puss a law for the benefit of the people. The coun try, is going deeper and deeper into cur• ruption. It has gone to grass, and you will soon be mourning that there is not an honest man left. I believe the country should return to specie payments as soo•i as possible, and the currency should be based on bonds of the United States. I would support a good free banking law, based on hands The issue of .81-4,000,000 on top of 3330,- 000,000 iiddisgrace, and every man who -votes for it drives a and in his own polit ieal coffin." Your party,gentlemen, has not kept its pledges and promises. There's not a man in this room who does not believe the crusading women were out of their sphere, bat yon were afraid to say so, and tell them to stay at home and cook their hus band's. beefsteak until they conld ge.t them well done. I am much obliged to you for listening to me. I was allied - upon to speak. I have given you my opinions, and, baying done so, shall take my leave.
