It is no crelit to the morals of the

The sum of the work of the Dem
ocratic Congress is the file of three
hundred millions of Southern claims,
and a proposal of free trade. If the
people wiil vote to support a party
that proposes such things, they may
realize the depression that such a
policy must inevitably bring.
The record of the late Democratic
Congress miy be briefly summed up
as one that was incompetent and un
reliable one that made the most
dangerous of Free Trade proposals,
and put on record the most startling
claims for damages from the South
for the ravages of the Confederate
war.
There is a lively time among the
Democracy in Berks county. Clymer

and that is what gives life to the
Democracy of Berks county. Cly

not obscene, and be not in favor of
violence Let him coma If he teaches
heresy, his teaching can be met by
teaching the truth. If he teaches
unlimited license and violence, and
organizes for the enforcement of his

TW Republican party ia tbo only
frenuine 'greenback party in existence;
iiU others, using the name are' B-in
Jkrs: The Republican party created
the greenback as a war means to
crash Rebellion: So violent was the
opposition to the greenback currency
even as a war means, that its uncon
stitutionality was urged, and the
question was taken into the United
States Supreme Court, and there, on
account of the war necessity of such
means, it was pronounced constitu
tional; but its endorsement by the
Court was by the majority of one.
Two votes less would have rejected
it, ana the ICepubuc would have failed
to crash rebellion for want of finan
cial means. But when the Republi
can party created the greenback it
pledged that every note or promise
to pay of the uovernment 6hould be
redeemed in gold or silver ; under
the Constitution it could not do other
wise. Now, however, certain men
are asking the country to go into
Congressional legislation for a green
back currency, without regard to any
value beyond an act of Congress,
thereby disregarding the constitu
tional requirement of a coin basis.
They ignore the unconstitutionality
of the passage of Congressional acts
for such currency. The fruit of their
policy would be a financial distress
equal to that which befell the coun
try when it repudiated the Continen
tal money. Repudiation will follow
a disproportionate issue of green
backs, just as it followed a dispropor
tionate issue of Continental money.
During Commencement Week at
Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg,
CoL A. K. McClure delivered an ad
dress entitled "The Duties of To-day,"
before the Literary Societies1 of the
old and reliable institution mention
ed. The address is pleasant and
profitable reading, and if those who
read it, and those who board it deliv
ered, are led by it to avoid the moral
quagmires that confront them in their
every-day life, it will have served them
a gxd purpose, and no prediction
can estimate the good it will thus have
accomplished. Space forbids a review
and criticism of bis views bo finely
expressed. He bewails the corrup
tion in State, in Church, in Society,
and in the Family, and bringing it all
to a focal point declares that "society
must be invoked to it own preservation.
The hornet vf the Republic must be the
source of A'ational regeneration, for
they are the thrones of the sovereigns of
free institutions."
It is the abuse of the credit sys
tem that has brought such wide
spread financial distress on the coun
try. The man who had property to
back him, valued at $100, would take
as much credit on that as he could

hoping to make money in some way
to pay the indebtedness. Such a
state of inflation must needs have a I
collapse, pay day came, and is still
coming, and that is all that is the
matter. For a period of twenty
years the nation has abused its credit
and now the pay days have come
around. Under the inflation system
of such men as Peter Herdic, Wil
liamsport inflated, till some one
wanted pay, and now the city, and
many individual citizens talk of re
pudiating the honest indebtedness.
M
I he x otter uommittee has con
cluded not to hear the witnesses that
Secretary Sherman proposed to get
in Louisiana to prove how people
were abused, driven out and murder
ed for opinion's sake. The Potter
Committee will find out before all is
over, that one-sided work does not
suit the people of this country. The
country desires evidence, to know
whether the reports of violence are
true. If they are not true, how easy
it will be for the committee to estab
lish the untruths of the reports. The
fact that the Potter people are oppo
sing any evidence on that point is
almost conclusion itself that all that
has been said about the intimidation
and violence in the South is true.
The Hunter trial, which took op so
much time in the Camden, X. J., court,
was brought to a close on the 3rd inst.
He u found guilty of murder in the
first degree. Hunter bad insured the
life of a man named Armstrong fcr
twentj-iii thousand dollars, to be paid
to Hunter in the event of the death of
Armstrong. He then hired a man
named Graham, for five hundred dol
lars, to kill Armstrong, and he accom
panied Graham on the murderous mis
sion. There may be objections to urge
gainst the insurao.ee of property and life,
in that it becomes a temptation to many
to take life and burn property. But
the world has never, since the fall, been
free from temptation, and will not be,
until when ! The only correct way for
society to do is to follow the example
that was made of the first parents.
They were held personally to a strict
accountability for their acts. The Cam
den jury acted on this safe rule and
condemned Hunter to the gallows.
As analysis, made at Washington,
of the counterfeit standard dollars,
trade dollars, and smaller silver coin
shows " that their constituents are
block tin, antimony and glass cast in
a mixture of plaster Paris. It was
found that they were made by the
electro process with a sufficient coat
ing of silver on the base metal rather
to make it impervious to acid. The
coin has the appearance and ring of
the genuine, and can only be detect
ed by the weight The analyses have
shown that the cost of the manufac
ture of the spurious is about forty
per cent of the genuine. The cen
tres from which the spurious coin is
circulated are Philadelphia, St Louis,
Chicago, Indianapolis, Vincennes and
Louisville."
1'hic Democratic treasurer of Stark
county, Ohio, has defaulted to- the
sum of SGOiOOCof the count funds.
"This is the fourth heavy defalcation
of Democratic treasurers in Ohio
within two years, the others being
Auglaize county, $32,000 ; Clermont
county, $26,000, and Van "Wert coun
ty a large amount The defaulting
treasurer of Van Wert county has
just been pardoned out of the peni
tentiary by Governor Bishop." If
they do such things in county affairs
what will they do with the National

Down in Boston a widower, Per
kins by name, and a Mrs. Hardy fell
in love with each other. Mr. Hardy
agreed with Perkins that for the con
sideration of five thousand dollars,
he, Hardy, and Mrs. Hardy should
be divorced, so that Perkins could
marry Mrs. Hardy. The divorce was
obtained, and the money was paid,
and Mrs. Hardy became Mrs. Per
kins. In a spell of religious excite
ment Mrs. Hardy-Perkins died, and
now Perkins and Hardy are at law
about her property, which amounts
to a considerable sum. Queer peo
ple down in Boston.
Stbosg-mixded women of the North
to the rear. Mrs. Jenks, who has
dashed the Potter committee, takes
the palm. " Mrs. Jenks is described
as a woman of about 35, is about
medium height, rather stout, but
with a form that is still shapely. Her
hair is light auburn, her face is nearly
round, the chin fa, but not square
and heavy. Her eyes are cold, 6teely
gray, and the nose is long and straight,
but not very prominent The ex
pression of the face is cold, calcula
ting and jiassionless.
Georgia and Kentucky agree that
the fourteenth amendment should be
repealed. The object is to secure
payment for emancipated slaves. At
the close of the late session of Con
gress sixty-one Representatives voted
that rebel claims ought to be paid
out of the United States Treasury.
The vote in Congress, the agitation
in Georgia and Kentucky, show that
should the new Congress, to be elect
ed this fall, have a Democratic ma
jority, this constitutional repeal will
be attempted ; the payment of these
claims pushed through one house,
and perhaps forced through the other.
The amount involved is hundreds of
millions. The claims are unjust
Their payment is in part unconstitu
tional and wholly illegal, but neces-
6ary to secure a perfect accord be-
'tween the northern and southern
Democracy. The only method of de
feating the project is by securing Re
publican supremacy in the next Con
gress. 'orth American.
The exiled King of Hanover died
and was buried in Paris, France, a
few days ago. His relationship to
the Throne of England was so near
that had he come into the world three
days before the present Queen of
England, instead of three days after
wards, he would have inherited the
crown of Great Britain.
Truthful James, suruamed Anderson
wanted a guarantee, lie got it, he
said, in writing from John Sherman,
promising bim an office for cooking the
returns of Louisiana in favor of Hayes.
He wanted a writing, because, though
young, be koew the verbal promises of
politicians were of no account. Well,
when he had bis guarantee all safe in
his pocket, he went and demanded an
office. Of whom?
Well, he went to Stanley Matthews,
William M. Evarts, Congressman Nash
Kellogg. R. B. Hayes, and sundry
other persons of position and influence,
bnt according to bis own testimony, he
gave John Sherman, the guarrantor, a
wide berth. If Anderson held Ben
Butler's note, Jo you think he would
present it to Clarksoo Potter and Mont
gomery Blair for payment? Not much;
and neither would be avoid John Sher
man if Sherman was the man from
whom be got the written gnarrantee.
This conduct is explainable only on the
theory of Mrs. Jenks, that the letter
was not genuine, and though it bad
fooled biji at the time, its true rharao
ter was known to him before he bad
bid a chance to present it to Sherman.
So be kept it and sold it to the agent
of Tilden, when that enterprising spec
ulator bought the concern, which con
sisted of Anderson, the forged letter,
and the Matthews correspondence
about the poorest investment Tilden
ever made except the 820,000 paid for
Cronin's certificate. JVeit Republic.
The sensible remarks of Mr. Todd
of Portland, in the Maine convention
of greenbackers, to the effect that "he
had worked forty-eight years and was
tired," ete , will, I am sure, find a res
ponsive echo io many breasts. To
catch the votes of this numerous class
I beg to suggest the addition of the fol
lowing plank to the Greenback plat
form :
Resolved; That to all persons resi
dent in the United States who bave
"worked forty eight years and are
tired," there shall be paid from the
United States the sum of fifty dollars
for eaeb and every remaining month of
their lives, such amounts to be assessed
and collected from all voters between
the age of twenty -ono and forty-eight
years
Resolved; That so much of the nine
teenth verse of the thiid chapter of
Genesis as is contained in the follow
ing words, "Io the sweat of thy vfaoe

hereby is repealed Correspondence
