V;:'43Tlf contracting the currency $35, 000,000 docs not reduce the price of gold one mill on the million dollars.how much contraction will it reqiire to reduce gold to an equality with bank bills ? . Jtylf you have bought a farm, paid one-third on it and given nfites for the other two thirds, the shrink age in values proposed by the contractionists will just ' about allow yoor farm to pay out.leaving you ah even 0 as capital with which to face the hard times. 1 The author of the notorious Tole do bill was beaten for rcnoraination to the jLesislature. Our readers will remember ' that we madJ some not very cmioplimcn taty remarks about that bill while it was pending. ? .It is gratifying to find the Deniocratic party ao uniformly consigning its un wor , thy officials to private life. , , - Z3TWby do some of our Democratic contemporaries suffer themselves to be drawn into a discussion of the question whether a currency redeemable in gold v and silver is desirable ? There U no 6uch issue. The question is whether it is no, better to wait a year or two longer for it ' than to embarrass and bankrupt business rnen.and impoverish nearly all others ex ' Annl nt f rt nil Innlnra Wa nil Vint finnnin payments, but not at the price proposed .. by tie Republicans. ' . . WrThe meeting of the Monroe Ciun- ty Teachers' Institute, held here' last week, was a very successful one.' lae . number in attendance was unsually large ; and the interest manifested was not infe rior to that of any other meeting.. Among the new attractions was music at the opening of each session. This prov ed to be so desirable an addition to the exercises that it will no doubt become permanent part of the programme. . i: .: Professor Bkush, of ML Union Col '' lege, was the principal instructor, and,so far as we know, gave universal satiafac tiori. . : : - . ' " Professor Ridge, of Cincinnati, devo ted his attention chiefiy to elocution and reading. He gave two entertainments in . elocution daring hia stay,' and many '" apeak of his powers in high terms of praise ; some ranking him with the bs3t elocutionists we have ever had here. - Among the teachers of our county who took a conspicuous part in conduct- ' ingthe exercises, we had the pleasure of hearing "Messrs. Watson, McVay, Mob bis and Waltos. These gentlemen showed a degree of readiness, skill and j thoroughness creditable" to themselves, ana rousing mem a credit to ttteir pro fession. As we conld be present but a portion of the time, we know not but that others were equally entitled to com mendation. Taken altogether the session of last wot k was, perhaps, tlie vtry beat ever hell in our county. Few who attended this will be willing tomUs another which promises to be as interesting. jCF It makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored. Jeff. Davis was invited to deliver an agiicultural address at R o'fonl,lllinois, and accepted the invitation. B it when the super-loyal RkHcuIs of that vicinity learned it, they raised a prolonged howl, and "on account of unforeseen, events'" Davw withdrew the appointment. Suppose instead of Davis this had been Butler, end instead of Illinois it had been Louisiana f Every administra tion organ inJhe country would have been groaning fearful groans over the fiendish rebel spirit manifested ;but being on the north side of the line, it is loyalty and patriotism and self-respect 7; arUnder the congressional . legisla tion of last winter, the volume of cur jency is gradually" diffiifthirig, and as consequence proper ly, ;w gradually shrinking invalid, and business enterpri ses are languishing more ?nd mote. By the following figures which we take from the Commercial and- Financial Chronicle, it will be seen that there is an actual contraction of thirty-five millions of dollars for the lour months ending June 30: 1 - - - Contraction of National bank notes by depositing gre'en ' back, . 825,523,037 Greenbacks retired, viz: 89 per cent on new National bank circulation issued up ; to date, 6.228 420 ' ' 831,751,477 Expansion by the issue of new National bank circala tion since Jan. 20, 1874," 11,601,892 Direct currency contraction under new financial law?, $20,143,585 Add estimated contraction indirectly due to those laws, 15.000,000 Total contraction, " 835,149,535 While this contraction has had the ef fect of making new enterprises almost impossible, and rendering business of nearly overy line unprofitable, it has not reduced the price of gold, or ! enhanced the price of greenbacks to the extent of one solitary mill. . . .. There Is food for solid reflection In these figures, which is respectfully com mended to all those who are in favor of traveling the contraction road to specie payments. " '. ' , . Wla there something in the moral at mosphere that snrrounds this administra tion which taints everybody within its In fluence? It seems so. . . . : Rush Cower went to Washington to take the position of Assistant ; Secretary of the Interior, carrvinff with! him an cn- viableTermwraon for integrity. He had never probably in his life given the slight est encouragement to any dishonest de sign. All who knew him believed that within the scope of his authority, at least, there would be no corruption. It is therefore both painful and humili ating to find bim working like a hired pet tifogger to shield Ddlano from exposure and condemnation. Delano is unques tionably the least honest among the mem bers of the Cabinet, and his,'' department furnishes more facilities for. plundering than docs any other department There is no longer a question that rascality is practiced under his authority and by his connivance. Cowes is his subordinatc.but this is no justification for Cowen's course in hiding Delano's iniquities. If there is a con tract, express or implied, that whoever accepts office nnder this administration is to aid in protecting its rascals, Cowen must do as be is doing or resign. Those who knew him ten years ajro would not doubt which he would have done then.. Mr. Cowesis not strong enough to bear up Delano and his load ; he must let go or both will go nnler. . The True Issue. . The Republican who relics solely on the papers of his party for a knowledge of the issue on the currency; question will go to the polls misled by the wildest delusions. AlMhe arguments, all the exhortations and all ' the admonitions with which the Republican papers are overflowing.are based upon assumptions grossly and culpably false. We have seen in not a solitary paper of that par ty, a statement of the position of tho Democrats, which did not, betray dense ignorance or palpable dishonesty.; , The Democrats ate not in favor of re pudiallon ; they are not in"' favor of un limited issues of paper currency; and they ere in favor of a restoration of spe cie payments as soon as the welfare the people will permit it ; The history of the party, its platforms, and every one authorized fo speak for the party agree upon these points with entire una nimity. But the Radical papers dare not con cede this. 'To state fairly to the people the doctrines and purposes of the Dem ocratic party would be to confess judg ment They: have deliberately , raised false issues, trusting to gain success by deceiving voters and keeping them delu ded until after the election. Nor do they present their own posi tion fairly. They promise a speedy re turn to specie payments, end specie pay ments being, something desirable, they want the people to believe that this de sirable object is to be obtained only through their success.: They leave the impression that it is only necessary for the voters, by electing their candidates, to say they want epecio payments and there will be specie payments that to have it or not to have it is simply a mat ter, of choice, and each of the same price as the other.: They say nothing of shrinkages, failures and bankruptcies ; of virtually ad ling one fourth to a man's debts while virfuillv diminishing bv one i : ' o -j fourth his means of payment. But the more intelligent of them do not expeet an immediate return to specie payments. They know the ruiu which would lo'low any elfostual eflfirt to that end. They know that the party which, for the sake of so small a 0'i-l as specie payments, would make the sn;:ri(ices ue ccsarily involved in sullaa rem.np'ion would never be heard of ag iin except to be execrated. They want to obtain v tes by promis ing speedy resumption.knowing full well that they dare not fulfil that promise. The most they can d or will do, will be to experiment in hastening the time for resumption, by contracting the currency. It may be set down as an absolute cer tainty, that there will be no resumption for many years to come, whatever party may manage the finances of the coun try. The true isue is therefore whether, as the Democrats maintain, we should ap proach specie payments as fast as justice to business engagements and the wants of trade will admit, and no faster, or whether, as the contractionists insist, we should arbitrarily fix a time for resum ing, and reach it through contraction, disregarding, thf cottfeq icacss . to the welfare ot the people. Shall we arrive at specie payments through ton years of hard tiaios and bu siness' prostration, or through fifteen years of business activity and prosperi ty? Answer tha, and vote accordingly.

The Globe- Democrat has & special from Benton, ranklin county, Illinois, hich says: Jr some time past a body of men dis- coised in Ku-Klux style have been trav eling over tho county whipping peacea ble citizens, and compelling them to perform any act they dictated. Up to this lime.in both Williamson and Frank- in counties, citizens have tamely sub mitted to those outrages but yesterday B. Maddox, one ot the Uounty Lom- missiocers, receive 1 information that some of these marauders would visit his house and whip him for not obeying orders they had. given him Maddox informed Sheriff J. T. Mason, who sum- mdned twenty men, who secreted them selves at Maddox's house, well armed About 2 o'clock last night the Ku-Klux. fourteen in number, made their appear ance on horseback, disguised in white robes, high white hats and masked, and armed with shot guns and pistols. The Sheriff stepped out when they came to the house and ordered tnem to surren der. The leader of the band drew his pistol aDd lircd at the Sheriff, missing him; the Sheriff and posse then ordered a halt, when the band ahot and then wheeled their horses and attempted to escape. 1 he posse urea ana one man was mortally wounded and nve others injured; but all succeeded in getting away except the man who was mortally hurt Tlie names of the others were revealed by the wounded man, who was captured, and the Sheriff and posse are after them to-day. Great excitement prevails, and tho citizens are determined to rid the .county of these midnight marauders. A meeting was had by the citizens to-day, and resolutions were adopted: Active measures are being taken to bring these outlaws to luslice, TI1C60 desperadoes aro said to be some four hundred strong In this county. Governor Beveridze has sent 100 stand of arms. The military are being for warded, and bloody results may be ex peeled.

A Oespcrate Woman Uioivns UernLlt uud Tbree Children. Beading, Pa., August 17. This af ternoon the wife of Captain Phil. Bes sengcr, accompanied by .her three cliil dren, two girls and a boy, aged respect ively nine, six and three years, walked up the towpath of the Union Canal, and when tbree miles north of this city she threw the children into the water, . and then walked in herself.

London, August 19 The Times commenting on the Turkish situation says: "While we think that the success of the rebellion would be, a calamity at the present time, because it might pre cipitate the disruption of the Ottoman Empire and plunge Europe into mighty war, we cannot blame the peo pie for seeking to throw off an intolero ble yoke. Contraction nncl It l.'onsequcn- ces. Extract from tho Speech of Hon. G. W. Mor gan, ut Canal JJover, Angmt 7, lbo. On the 14th of January last they pass ed a law through Congress entitled "An act to provide for the resumption of spa cie payments" a law which bears a lie on its face, for the law does not provide that the banks shall redeem their paper in specie; there is not the sha low of suMi a thing in its provisions, unat, then, is is tins law ? It provides that the Secre tary of the Treasury shall, ''a-? rapidly as practicable," have coined ten, twenty five and fifty cent pieces in silver with which to redeeera tlie fractional currency now in circulation. The amount is forty odd million dollars. How much have they redeemed ? Not a dollar not a dime Who among you has neen any of this sil ver currency in circulation? Not one livinsr man. And yet more than six months have elapsed since that law was passed. ... But suppose they did issue this forty millions change in specie; how long would it be in circulation? Six weeks would dry up the last dime. Why ? Be cause the men in power have by law de preciated the value of the paper money ; they have prohibited it from performing all the functions of money ; they have provide ! that paper money shall not be received as money in the payment of $200,000,000 paid at the Custom House as a tariff tax on imported goods; they have required you to pay tho bondholder his interest in gold, and also require, you to receive paper interest from tti!TOoud holtler, should he owe you. In short, by force of law, paper moiu-v is made lass, valuable than specie, and were 840,000, 000 of specie put in , circulation it would at once be gobbled up by the bankers and bondholders on speculation, and tho country would be left without sm ill cur rency of any kind. What next does this law provido ? Li a word, without going through the datails of the hill, it provides for the issue of 8382,000,000 of 'new five per cent bonds to be sold at par for goid, in order to sub stitute that amount of gold, astheyprev tend, for the greenbacks in circulation. Where is the gV.d to come from ? There is only $100,000,000 in the United States, and that is mostly owned by the govern ment, and ii used by the government to pay gold interest to the bondholders, and this bondholder sells his gold to the mer chant who imports goods at a premium of from 12 to 17 per cent Where then is this 92c 000,00 of gold to come from? From Lu. .pe ? No,for the European States are forced to bny gold, and have but little to spare. How, then, can the greenbacks be withdrawn from circulation ? Ic can all be done by the use of $100,000,000 gold, and when $382.000,8')0 of greenbacks aro with drawn from circnlation there will ba left in their stead only $100,000,000 of gold, and tho volume of currency: will be re duced U 200,000.000. - i :; We arc now paying to people in Eu ropo $50,000,000 or SG0.000.000 of gold interest in semi-annual payments. Be fore it would leave the country it would bo invested in the five per cent bonds end through the process of exchanges $100,000,000 of gold would withdraw the entiro $382,00t),000 of greenbacks And do you doubt,; my fellow citiefens, what would be tho effect of this further reduction of the currency ? Property would be sold at one-fourth its valne. Rolling mills, furnaces and workshops would be closed. Our merchants would be ruined and forced to make assign ments. The owners of mines would be forced to stop work, and iiundrcds of thousands , of, men, copending npon their dUy lbo-XtttthfiLr, 4ily:. bread, would he thrown out fot employment And then in the midst of this accn roulatcd disaster the bondholder and the banker, having control of all tho money in the country, would bny op vonr prop erty at twenty-five cents on the dollar, and,, as in England, the bondholders and the landowners would be the self same men. And then in the midst of this moral death, when tho cry of hunger and lamentation will be heard from ev ery quarter, then the banker will take further advantago of this bill of iniquity and cluitn to be a special providence by flooding tho country with irredeemable millions of bank .' paper. For, fellow citizens, although the bill pretends to provide for tho withdrawal of every dollar of greenbacks,it authorizes banks to issue bank notes without limit and without requiring a single note to be re deemed in coin. ... Here, then, in Its deformity, is the noilow scneme of returning to specie payments. Senator Sherman says that the volume of the currency should be reduced until the paper dollar is on par with the gold dollar, but he does not undertake to fay what amount of reduction that would require. He does not fix the amount, because he knows full well that the paper money of the country can never be on par with gold until paper money 1a allowed to perform atl the functions of money. And I de nounce this so-called Resumption bill as a wicked scheme of robbery and plun der. C.rlmvrood's Body Found CHrcAao,'August 17. i-A special to the Chicago Evening Journal from White Hall, Michigan, says the body of N S Grim wood was found yesterday, on ' the beacti of Lake Michigan, near, Stony Creek by A. Beckwith. It had on all the clothes except boots, and had letters and notes of his trip which prove beyond all doubt his identity. -- LATER. Little additional is given in the specials received here concerning the finding ' of the body of Grimwood, " On the body were discovered a watch, notes, papers. letters, and an India rubber life preservei1 with a bole in It two inches long; also, a certifionte of membership in the Chicago Public Library. The notes were rather vague ; alluding to the early aspirations of the writer to rise in the world, and the realization. At the time of the writing it wbs stated that the balloon was in ' the middle of Lake Michigan, and the possi bility of a fall was mentioned, but not as a probability. The body W83 found bv a mail carrier. It was badly decomposed the hair and portions ot the face being gone. It was buried in the cemetery.uear tne place where it was discovered.
