Tin bill appropriating $200,000

Br tbe end of this month silver
dollars will be piled cp in tbe Treasu
ry to the amount of over twenty-five
millions, all efforts to get them into
circulation having eo far proved a
failure, and yet there are any quanti
ty cf fools in Congress, who are in
favor of the government coining all
the silver it can s?cure in more dol
lars and pil'ng them away, while the
country is paying interest on this
useless and inert ma68 of coin
0.nk of the signs of increased pros
perity for this country is the revival
of foreign immigration. It fell off
nearly altogether after depression
began, but latterly it .has largely re
vived. During the month of April
over 12000 immigrants were landed
in New York, and this was only the
leginning of the tide. Last week
alone, the arrivals exceeded 5,000.
These are described as belonging to
the better class, aDd will do much to
develop our enormously growing
western territory.
Present reports of County Con
ventions in Ohio, indicate that Judge
Taft will be nominated as the Re
publican candidate lor Governor
He is one of tbe ablest men in the
State, with an unimpeachable charac

The probable Democratic candi
date, is the present Governor Bishop,
who although a man of fair character,
is an old noodle. He is backed by Sam
my Tilden for the purpose of crowd
ing Senator Tburman from tbe Presi-.
dential track.
The old secession argument that
this is a ' confederacy of States," and
not a Nation is being diligently urg
ed by the Democratic leaders in Con
gress, which moves a correspondent
of the Charleston (S. C ) AVics and
Courier to remark, that he cannot
eee how eight millions of people in
the Southern States are t prevent
thirty-two millions from believing
this to be a nation and from acting
accordingly. Heis'nt making love
to that issue for ihe next campaign.
Tbe reports of government officials
in the west, show how western emi
gration is booming. One land effice
ia Minnesota recently reported ap
plicants for five hundred thousand
acres of land in one week. Of the
ninety-six Registrars of the land of
fice, more than one half report an im
mense increase in the settlement of
public lands in the Western Sate.
The next census Las some startling
surprises in store for those who are
calculating on the old Congressional
representation being measurably
maintained.
Some determined rogues have con
cluded that the government shall not
have a monopoly of cheating tbe
people with so-called dollars, con
taining only eighty-five cents worth)
of silver. Accordingly they have
started dollar factories of their own.
They use sterling silver of the regu -

be seen whether the Democrats will
attempt to starve the government,
according to their original declara

and it is determined to make tbe
North pay a large proportion of taxes
Well tbe eld adage is true, give
these Democratic politicians rope
enough and they will bang them
selves. Governor Hendricks of Indiana,
not caring to be used a second time as
tail for the Tilden kite, has dared to
intimate as mucb, and has thereby
incurred the wrath of tbe Democratic
whipper-in by his independence. j
The Louisville Courier-Journal, Ufa

style :
"Mr. Thomas A. Hendricks of
Indiana, is in a conspiracy to defeat
the rcnomination cf the old ticket.

intrigue to lose New York to the
Democrats tbis fall. This is the end
of Hendricks. He is a fool as well
as a conspirator. Let ali men dis

The Southern Brigadiers in Con
gress, see in tbe determination of tbe
Republican party to protect the bal
lot box, a filed purpose to carry tbe 1
elections in tbe Norm neit fall by
aid of the army, and all tbe little
Democrats in the country are lustily
howling in fear cf bayonet rule. It
ia with such ridiculous stuff as tbis
that the North i3 expected to be
scared from its propriety. Without a
soldier ia the Northern Slates ex
cept a few to take care of the rusty
old cannon in the forts along the
sea coast, it is the most laughable
attenip to get up a scare that ever
was witnessed. Our imagination
pictures tbe poor timid Democrats,
dodging along the fence corners and
stealing through the quiet wood
lands in trembling attempts to evade
tbe bloody soldiers, and reach tbe
polls in safety. What a terrible
thing this "bayonet law" is, to be
sure, and bow wonderful that under
its working for tbe last fifteen years
there is now & single Democrat left
in the North to tell tbe pitiful tale.

Conciliation ; oh, conciliation !
One of tbe most effective points
and worthy of constant remembrance
in Conkling's speech was his compar
ing tbe several amounts contributed
by tbe Northern and Southern por
tions of the country to the support of
the country. Of the $234,831,4C1. 7

The Mtlkoditt Advocate, published
at Atlanta, Ga., deals Ben Hill some
blows that will make the Georgia
Senator wince. Dr. Fuller, the edi
tor, having shown up tbe Southern
situation while in tbe East, tbe Low
viile (X. Y.) Democrat comes back at
him with a letter from Hill, in which,
of course, tbe assertions of Dr. Fuller
are "indignantly denied." The edi
tor of the Democrat, in referring to
the letter, says tbat Seaator iiill
himself is a "well-kaown member of
tbe Methodist Episcopal Church of
Atlanta, the home of Dr. Fuller." To
this Dr. Fuller 6harply responds as
follows :
Not eo fast; Mr. Editor. Oa tbat
point you are fooled again, or seeking
to mislead others. Mr. Hill is not a
member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and never has been, bnt of
the M E. Church South. He eoald

Dr. Fuller proceeds t arfcg t&s
Georgia statesman over the coals ia
the following manner :
The idea that a letter of Ben Hill
can set anything "a rest," will cause

The Warner Silver Lill contaias
the worst features of tbe Bland bill
of 137S, which the Senate struck out,
and several new ones equally bad.
I a fact it is much tbe most reckless
and dishonest measure on tbe subject
of the metallic currency that has been
seriously considered since the silver
crezs struck Cocgres9. And yet it
rolls along through tbe House with
pretty much the whole Democratic
party fchouting and dancing around
it like so many heathens of Timbue
too worshipping a fetich. A bill that
is thoroughly vile and capable of do
ing a vast amount cf mischief to the
credit end business of tbe country is
actually bailei ssd applauded as
thoug'i it wire some magivO? agency
ofuuiversal beneficence.
The bill does not stop with turning
the eortrnmect mints into free mon
ey mills, to coin everybody's bullion
without cnargp, paving o;it in ex
change for eighty-four coats' worth
of metal a coin which people must
take for a dollar. It requires the
United States to go into tie business
of maintaining free warehouses for
the silver of tua whole world. Any
body, whether he be American or
foreigner, is to have tbe right to
brine: bis bullion to tne United Mates
Treasury and demand tbat it shall be
taken care of without charge as long
as he chooses to leave it ou deposit.
Tbe Treasury ja compelled to give
the depositor a ccrtiGca.e for a dol
lar in return for an amouit of bullion
now worth only eighty! ;ur cents a
thfl markets of the world, and to take
these certificates at par ia payment
of taxes and custom dues.

While tbe solid ou;h pursues its
politicsl vagaries, as it did before tbe
civil war, to the utter neglect of its
serial, educational and materia) cult
ure, progress and advancement, tbe
mighty growth of tbe north and west
goes resistlessly on in all tbat relates
to enlightened civilization, cultivated
intelligence, commercial power, ac
quired resources, associative force,
disciplined energy, and organised
capital, labor and enterprise Tbe
south becomes ete$dily more intense
ly absorbed in tbe old ruts and habi
tudes of thonght, effort, prejudice,
partisanship and ambition, more ex
clusive ia its ways and policy, more
nnsuited to northern emigration, more
perilous for tbe investment of capital,
more prone to repudiation and wild
cat financiering, and less willing to
adopt the ways of tdranced modern
development and business.
This contrast is truly painful fr an
American patriot to contemplate,
more especially as all who may refer
to it ia fitting terms are denounced
as prejudiced partisans, embittered
sectionalists, and northern bigots.
Yet this only intensifies tbs move
menu of life, end trade, and enter
prise at the north and west, confines
domestic migratory action to the old
para'.Iels of latitude, compacts tiio de
velopment of the west ia denser vol
umes, end gives to the whole pro
digious north so much of tbe aspect,
resources and power of a mighty em
pire in itself, as to render tbe section
al struggle bstweea ndfth and south
somewhat ludicrous by reason of the
enormous disparity of the combatants,
and tbe inconceivable folly and infat
uatisn oi the south.
By reaching ot to control and in
clude ia its array the Lordpr States,
the south injures aud retards the;
progress without helping itself. At
the same time it adds wonderful pow
er to the dense population cf tbe
north and west. The desperate at
tempt of the south to use Missouri as
a barrier to tia westward march of
the northern masses, raised Illinois to
the level of Ohio, and made Iowa
and Kansas wondrous spectacles of
advanced civilization; aud the pros
pect now is tbat Missouri herself will
be revolutionized by tbe same mighty
inHuecces. Meantime tne southern
statesmen fancy that all tbis progress
results from tbe northern Industries
and financial system, and that by
abolishing the creative measures they
will afford tbeir own section 5 better
chance. But the north, wLicb mad)
such immense use of tbe protective
tariff, and railroad subsidies, and tbe
national banking system, and the
greenbacks, and tbe bonded debt, has
now Decerns a colossal exporting re
gion, and profits by the gold and sil
var regime quite as much a she did
by the era of irredeemable paper.
As discouragements are multiplied
ia tbe pathway of the national banks,
northern capital enters lagcjy into
other fiscal corporations under State
charters, and boldly ventures to chal
lenge ana contest tne financial, com
menial and maritime supremacy of
ureat untain. At tbe present time
tbe wnole or tbe energies of tbe north
and vest are alive with enterprise,
ana issiicxt witn aggressive power
and domination. pey need not in
vade tbe south in quest ot gain, as
they have access to all the rest cf the
world, and are gladly welcomed ev
erywhere. The south then gathers
no additional population, wealth,
trade, industry or civilized force by
its selfish and exclusive policy, and
cannot in any degree retard tbe re
sistLis growth of the north. Every
form of eoni.-iIi-.Uoi has been retorted
to by northern capital' D build or

the same uniform results.

We are well aware that it is use
lees to remonstrate against this folly
of the southern policy of exclusion,
aud that nothing that we can say ii
likely to change it. Tbe south has
not judgment enough to sustain tbo
tariff which protects its own indus

talks cf subsidizing southern lines of

branches of New York lines. Wben

lectures and larding pins. It has
been the custom of French artists of
tbe kitc-bec to deny to Americans the
commonest acquaintance with culina
ry rcles. Of late years we have cer
tainly struggled to cast off some of
our ignorance. Cookery was once ao
occult mystery to all but the inmates
ot the Kitchen, and well bred ycung
ladies scorned acquaintance with the
commonestduties of the cook, but the
art of dinicg in official and political

printing office tbat he received the
Jbest portion of his early education.
After a few years he commenced
BTiting for the h'ewbu'ryporf Ilerald,
and then for other papers. Then he
started a paper of bis cvaJhe free
Pre. Then he went to Boston and
edited a "total abstinence" paper
the first juornal of tbis kind ever
published. Shortly sfter this, in 1823,
he entered fully upon' that ers-adp
against slavery which was the crown
ing glory of hii long and useful life.
He published a number of anti slav
ery papers, and at the same tima de-.
livered lectures in various places,

very genuine interest $nd fully arous
ed people to the enormity of the evil
he was assailing. He was arrested
and imprisoned in Baltimore ia 1840
for denouncing as a ''domestic pirate"
tbe captain of a vessel which trans
ported slaves from Baltimore to L:u

renew tbe ardor of bis friends and

A Touching Letter from His Wife IK'
scribing the Fatal Fanaticism wh!rh
Canned film te Slay His Child.
Natick., Mass, May IS The fol
lowing letter has been received by a
sister-in law cf Mrs. Freeman since
the laticr went to jail, which shows
that she believed as implicitly iu
God's command for tbe sacrifice of
tbe child as the father did :
Babnstable, May 10, 1879. ljar
Sisters : WTe have received your let
ters. I looked for one for a long
time. 1 never thought it would nod
us here. Am glad you are well. We
are in need of nothing, but we thank
you for your kind thoughts for our
comfort. I have no doubt you suf
fer for us. I canuot tell you how ii
came to be. You know bow dearly
we both loved our precious little one.
We bave tried for more than a year
to live entirely devoted to God and
to the good of others. We had given
up dress, tbe desire for money - and
everi thing tbat was not pure in pur
pose. You would hardly bave be
lieved it was Charlie. He never
was profane ; had not drauk since I
knew bioi, and was oue of the best
husbands and fathers.
But now be commenced a life of
prayer and faith in God, and with
him. He read bis Bible every spare
moment, and his wholelifa was spent
ia Christian, earnest work for good ;
and bis whole aim, not neglecting
other duties, was to wia souls to
Christ and seek himself eternal life.
Oue trial of our faith came afier
another, and God blessed us very
much tbe more we trusted Him. By
aud by there came a week and more
of great and new trials. Charlie did
not sleep nor eat scarcely for nearly
(wo weeks.
During tbis time of painful trial be
felt that God required him to have
the faith of Abraham. You know
what that was in regard to Isaac.
He could Dot get away from it. The
more he tried the more it came home
to him. At last be said to the Lord
be would bo willing to bear tbe test.
He thought that would be all tbat
God would ask. Tbat seemed to
end it for the day. That night it
came to bitn more powerfully. He
could not Lelp it. Oh! God alone
knows how I suffered; but having
great faith ia Qod to believe He
would atop bim just us He did Abra
ham that it was only a trial ot
faith knowing as I did, Charlie's
life and love, bis fear to disobey God,
and tbat he bad Abraham's faith, I
could not hinder him. But neither
of ua tbougb God would suffer ber to
be touched any more thaa that the
day would fail to come.
We thought God would see our
faith and give some token of accept
ance. We beljeved Qod would
thunder from Siuai b-'ore any barm
could come to our darling. But
wbon 1 found my preciou; Fdie
gone, ob, Father, bow I felt! B'Jt
comfort seemed to come again.
Abraham believed God would raise
Isaac, and o we felt that it was
God's plu to take her si an to raise
her froa lit dead aad thus show
His mighty power aud love. We
did believe He would do ibis in
order to show the world that the
God of Abraham, oflaacaad of
Jacob still lives, and so wake up tbe
frozen Church tf Gcd to its duties
the Church so married to tbe world
that there is scarcely any difference
between tbe two. We bejieved tbis
tok bo. and tbat Jidie woqld yet
go with Charlie to preach the Gjspel
of the Kingdom. What a power she
would be! Wbat glory to his His
cause! Elijib, Elisba," Christ and
the Apostles raised tbe dead, and
wby should not God do it now as
then? 'We believed lie would. But
the time ba so far passed, and ve
are tere.
God knows we are ianocent of any
crime. Charlie still thinks God is
going to manifest His power and glo
ry and himself be justified in the
eyes cf the world. (od grant it may
be so! Ob, you cannot know ray
sorrow It almost breaks my beart
My dear, dear Jyiie Charlie is in
nocent. Oh, he ia of any crime, but
I am afraid it was misuken fiih ia
God. Dear L-rd help us ia our
need. Hattiv

In response to a letter addressed
to him by Secretary Schurz, inquir

meat of arrears due upon pensions
which were allowed prior to January,

to each applicant for arrears as soon

"Department of tub Interior
Pension Office, Washington, Maj
17, 1879 Sir: Your application for

Wild Animate Baraeel Alive.
Detroit, Micb., May 22 At 9
o'clock tbis morning a fire broke out
on J. N. French's premises, known
as tbe Five mile House, a short dis
tance beyond the city limits, destroy
ed, among other valuable property,
a number of wild beasts, constituting
tbe remainder of his oqce famous
menageries. Mr. French was once a
well-known showman, but a few years
oo disposed of bis circus interests,
and removed bia animals to his farm,
renting them out during the Summer
months to traveliog menageries. The
aoimal bam was a large woodeu
structure, 200 feet long, containing a
row of jronrbarred oages. When
tbe Gre was discovered, tbe whole in
terior of tbe place was in dimes, and
the air resounded with tbe frantic
cries ot the frightened animals, which
sprang fiercely against their bars ia
a vaia tffort to escape. Ia one corn
er of the birn was securely chained
the huge performing elephant Sultan,
for many years a prominent attrac
tion at the areas performance. Mr.
French at the risk of bis life, dashed
through the fiime and smoke and en
deavored to unloose the great brute,
now aUnost frantic . with fear, and
whose shrill trumpeting rang out
loud and clear above the babel of
sounds. But the fastenings were se
cure, and tbe flames compelled Mr.
French to beat a retreat, leaving tbe
poor brute to roast alive where he
stocd Every living inmate of the
shed was soon burned to death, and
all that was '.eft was a mass of glow
ing embers and red hot cages. Tbe
animals destroyed consisted of five
performing lions, once claimed to be
worth (12,000, bat since depreciated
ia value ; the elephant, two Califor
nia lions, aa ibex, three kangaroos,
ope tiger, one sebra tbat bad been
trained to trot ia harness, a sacred
cow aad her sacred calf, and a Rock-
ey Mountain big-homed deer. Be
sides these there was stored ia tbe
building a collection of stuffed ani
mals of great value to the owner,
eir.'ns paraphernalia npoi whicbtamo
stated value oa be placed, and
many other things which, while not
figuring in tbe loss, were oevertbe
less, of great value to bim.
The scene during the fire bafflad
description. Two of tbe lions fell
upon each other and fought desper
ately, and tbe cries and straggles of.
other imprisoned brutes were pitiful.
Fears were entertained that an ani
mal might escape alive among tbe
crowd if spectatgrs, and a d '?n men
baiily armed themselves to shoot
djwn any poor, maddened, boiling
beasts should they break through the
cordon cf fjames, but the?e precau
tions were unnecessary, every one
perished. Mr. French's loss is $15,
000, and he had abjut $12,000 insur
ance, in small lots, on the animals.
The policies were to expire at ooo,
or three boars after the fire occured,
as the animals bad been leased to the
managers of tbe Z xilogical Garden,
near Chicago, and were t bave been
removed to-morrow.
