THE PALLADIUM.
WEDNESDAY. OCT. 20, 1875.
ExGovernor Fenton, "of New
York, formerly prominent as a lead
er of the liberal Republican move
.menf, has ; written - a letter to the
chairman of the Republican State
. T
uommitcee, annonncuig ma return
to the Republican party, and giv
ing his reasons therefor, lie says,
speaking for the body of Laberals,
that they separated from the Re
publican party because they believ
ed it had become unfaithful to its
earlier standards. He thinks that
the temporary success of the Dem
ocracy, brought about in a consid
erable degree by the disaffection of
those who had formerly been Re
publicans "was in no measure bas
ed upon an approval of its record,
nor has the manner in which it has
used the success, with some exceps
tions, been calculated to win the
confidence of those who care more
for good government than for par
ty." In the present attitude of the
two parties he thinks the Republi
can represents the best elements
and ideas of our policies, while the
Democratic has "developed tenden
cies and influences which menace
the most sacred interests of the
country.". Furthermore, he ! is of
the opinion that-the platform and
candidates of the Republican party
in New York should be entirely sat
isfactory to the former liberals,
and justify the hope that its pres
ent advanced position will lead to
permanent progress and reform.
In this view of the case Mr. Fenton
says he feels it his duty to give his
support to the Republican candi
dates. . - .
Westervelt tells the authorities
to search the Catholic asylums for
Charlie Ross. It is not odd that
such a course never suggested itself
to the great American detective,
because it is eminently a proper
course, and has possibilities in it.
The boy might be in one of those
houses, unharmed and unchanged,
yet - as completely ' secluded from
the public as though buried under
the foundations of the Rocky Moun
tains. . And that, too, without any
collusion with the criminals on the
part of the Catholic keepers, who,
being God's people, deem it the
correct thing to shut themselves
away from God's world and never
know anything. A newspaper never
enters their doors, and they 'are
probably as little aware of the ab
duction as though it had occurred
in China. The longer time Wester
velt lies in jail, the less he is sus
pected Of lying in regard to the
boy. , Such inducements have been
held out to him to confess that he
certainly would have done so had
he anything to tell. His sugges
uon (which is about to be acted
upon ) he says he throws out be
cause it may lead to something, and

child restored as any one could
have for his own sake.
As an example showing the evil
fruits of the credit system, the fol
lowing will do very well : "A young
mechanic in Champaign who was
owing some 20 received a dun
therefor from his creditor, who said
he wished to pay a debt with it
He immediately started out on a
little collecting excursion of his
own, .but with poor success, his
debtor in turn telling him that an
other man was owing him but could
not collect it. Out of mere curios
ily he followed up the chain, and
found that it consisted of no less
than fifteen persons, each owing
from 915 to $d0, and amounting
altogether to some $300, the whole
amount of which could have been
settled in less than half a day had
one or two in the chain of debtors
and creditors been so inclined. We
presume this state of affairs is very
common in business circles of the
country, and the only remedy we
can see is for each man who finds
himself a debtor to make every ex
ertion possible to settle up, for by
so doing he may- start a chain of
settlements that will clear a dozen
or more men of some of their Iia
billties and help to restore business
to a general cash basis. Keep what
little money you have moving and
you will be surprised at the amount
of good it will do in driving away
hard times. Now while crops are
moving is the time to take hold of
this matter,"
A Raffiaa'a Apetfcesle,
The telegraph has done . consid
erable to dignify the circumstances
of the taking off of O'Baldwin, the
"Irish Giant, and in the account of
his funeral grew quite pathetic, and
told us in a touching way that Joe
Coburn, another bruiser, contrib
uted a cross of camelias and japon
icas to deck the remains of the de
parted shoulder hitter. It is not,
as a rule, courteous to say uopleas
ant things about dead men, but in
this case the attempt to elevate the
O'Baldwin into a region of respec
tability should be deprecated.' It
is not just, either, to respectable
living or to respectable dead peo
ple. The O'Baldwin was a great
overgrown hnlk of a pugilist, who
intimidated ordinary men by his
superior size and strength, and bul
lied them at his pleasure. In addi
tion to being a pugilist, he had
been a felon. He had gone the
whole length of the catalogue of
iniquity. Although his death was
occasioned by murder, he provoked
his fate, for the end of such men is
to be killed. - He was murdered by
but, if his partner had not murder
ed him he would have murdered
his partner, as according to the
latter's testimony he had commenc
ed to pound him with ; with 1 his
sledge hammer of fists an operan
tion which the drunken brute would
have kept up until it ended in
murder. Although he was a giant
in build; a little pistol -ball finished
him, and it does not appear that
society has Buffered any such griev
ous loss that it should be called
, upon to mourn. His death was the
logical and appropriate issue of his
. manner of life, and the fellow bruis
. era, Coburn and all, who covered
' him with flowers, which must have
blushed to find themselves in com
pany with such purity and inno-
cence as O'Baldwin possessed, will
eventually come to the same end.
They, like O'Baldwin, are the curse
; of society. While the crime of
; Finnell is none the less a murder,
. deserving of punishment, the dark
record of O'Baldwin should not be
held up for admiration, nor should
we be called upon to show any symn
pathy on his taking off. He was a
"scoundrel, killed by a scoundrel,
and buried by scoundrels, and the
' beautiful flower-cross which Mr.
Jo. Coburn, pugilist, placed: upon
him-, did not impart one particle of
its grace or its beauty to his mem
ory. The porcelain clay of Lawrence
county, Indiana, is thus described
by Prof. Cox: The Lawrence county
bed of porcelain clay occupies the
position of the Archimedes time
stone belonging to the Chester
group. This limestone has been
entirely removed where the clay is
found, by the action of water
charged with hydra ted silicate of
. alumina and carbonate of protoxide
; of iron. The water which held
these substances in solution is sup
posed to have contained alkaline
carbonate, with carbonic acid in
excess. It is thus that the water
was enabled to dissolve the lime
stone, and by an interchange of
chemical constituents, the hyd rated
silicate of alumina was precipitated
and the lime carried off in solution.
The carbonate of proxide of iron
also continued in solution until
it met with a sufficient amount of
oxygen for its peroxidation and
precipitation. The upper portion
of the , clay, from one to twelve
inchei in thickness, is of a light
cream color, free from grit and lam
inated. Then follow from four to
five feet of pure white clay, also
free from grit. Beneath this is a
clay of similar quality but slightly
stained at the joints with oxide of
iron. Prof. Cox calls the white clay
Indianaite. It has a composition
of 12 to 14 per cent, water, 42 to
45 per cent, silica, and 36 to 30
alumina. The area of the deposit
is known to be at least 42 acres,
and there is little doubt that it is
much more extended. Indianaite is
now used in the porcelain potteries
at Cincinnati, and ware made of it
is fully equal to the best English
iron stone pottery.

ern immigration fever, the St. ;
Louis Republican observes: Mov
ing West is an American business;
we have been engaged in it for a
hundred years. But what will we
"do when there is no longer a West
' to emigrate to? That time has near
ly arrived. When it comes the
growth of the country will react to
ward its center. The population of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, , Vir
ginia, Kentncky,and Tennessee can
be doubled and yet not reach more
than 100 to a square mile. The
country will grow in a different
way. Great manufacturing centers
will be built up, our coal and iron
resources will be developed, and
the principal part of our surplus
grain products will be needed for
home consumption. That is what
we will do when there is no longer
a West to emigrate to.
How tbe "Raven" Was Written.
In a discussion of the mental
condition of Edgar A. Poe, in
Scribner for October, under the
title of "A Mad man of Letters,"
Mr. F. G. Fairfield gives the ; fol
lowing conflicting accounts of the
composition of "The Raven."
'Another fact that seems to wit
ness to his epileptic condition is
constituted by the habitual lying
that ' marked the later and best
known part of his career. One in
Btance must illustrate the many. I
shall take it for granted that the
general reader is familiar with the
remarkable analytic paper in wliich
ho describes the . composition of
4The Raven, 'and the plan upon
which it was constructed. Ameri-
can
literature contains nothing
cleverer in its way, and its clever
ness is manifold enhanced when it
is understood that it is simply . and
unequivocally fiction, as the act ual
circumstances ,. under which the
poem was written conclusively
iShOW. . -. ;. " ' V "
' ;"Poe then occupied a cottage at
Fordham a kind of poet's nook
just out of hearing of the busy hum
of the city. He had -walked all the
way from New York that afternoon,
and, having taken a cup. of tea,
went out in the evening and wan
dered about for an hour or more.
His beloved Virginia was sick al
most unto death; he was without
money to procure the necessary
medicines. He was out until
about ten o'clock. When he went
in he sat down at his writing table
and dashed off 'The ' Raven. He
submitted it to Mrs. Clemm for
her consideration on ' the same
night, and it was printed substan
tially as it was written. - -
"This account of the - origin of
the poem was communicated to me
in the fall of 1865 by a gentleman
who professed to be indebted to
Mrs. Clemm for the facts as he
stated them; and in the course of
a saunter in the South in the sum
mer of 1867, I took occasion to
verify his story by an interview
with that aged lady. Let me now
drop Mrs. Clemm's version for a
paragraph to consider another,
resting upon the testimony of Col.
Du Solle, who was intimate 'with
Poe at this period, and concurred
in by other literary contempora
lies who used to meet him of a
midday for a budget of gossip and
a glass of ale at Sandy Welsh's cel
lar in Ana street. , ,
' '"-Du Solle says that ' .the poem
was produced stanza by stanza at
small intervals, and submitted by
Poe piecemeal to the criticism and
condemnation of his intimates, who
suggested various alterations and
substitutions. Poe adopted many
of them. Du Solle quotes partic
ular instances of phrase that were
incorporated at his suggestion, and
thus 'The Raven' was a kind of
joint stock affair in which many
minds held small shares of.intellec
tnal capital. At length, -when the
last stone had been placed in po
sition and passed upon, the struc
ture was voted complete.
"The reconciliation of these con
flicting versions lies, possibly, in
the hypothesis that he wrote the
poem substantially, as stated by
Mrs. Clemm, and afterward, with
the shrewd idea of stimulating ex
pectation a little, or by way of
subtle and delicate flattery, sub
mitted it to his friends stanza by
stanza, adopting such emendations
and substitutions of phrase as
tickled his ear of suited his fancy.
Such alterations would scarcely af
fect ft e general tenor of the text,
as Mrs. .Clemm first heard it, and,
considering the length of the poem,
appear to have been very few and
of 6 rn all importance, granting all
that Col. Du Solle claims. Besides,
it was like him to amuse himself in
this way, hoaxing his friends, and
then laughing in his sleeve at
them."
A Man or Hervc.
On Monday forenoon a number
of trotters were being exercised at
the driving park, among them Effie
Dean, driven by the well-known
horse raiser, Alden Goldsmith
The horses were trotting at a lively
pace, and were all bunched in a
heap, when pne of Effie's rains
broke, and Goldsmith toppled over
backward, and every spectator ex
pected to see him drop from the
Bulky and be mangled by the feet
of the crowd of horses behind
This tragedy was prevented, how
ever, for Goldsmith, whose feet
caught in the foot rests of the
thills, recovered himself, and then
gave an exhibition of nerve fliat
was most thrilling. The mare, re
leased from the restraint of the
taut reins, broke into a run and
flew ahead like the wind, leaving all
of tho others behind. While she
was going at this rate Goldsmith
crawled over her back until by
reaching forward he could get hold
of tne snaffle of tho bit, and then,
lying upon her neck, he brought
ner up with a sudden pull that car
ried her almost perpendicularly in
the air. He was heartily applaud
ed by all who witnessed the daring
deed. Kingston (N. Y.) Free

We wish to call the especial atten
tion of our readers to the following
from the flhioaco Journal. We have
money enough to carry on business, if
there was more commence, xnero
cannot be full and complete confi
dence until we know what the future
will be. As long as there is danger
of inflation on one hand, or contrac
tion on the other, there will be a lack
of the wanted confidence:
On the . firBt day of the current
month Secretary Bristow issued a call
for $5,000,000 of 5 20 bonds for re
demption, interest to cease January 1,
1876. It is stated, on good authority,
that there remained at that time out
standing $19,775,000 called bonds on
which interest has ceased, it 13 in
credible that any considerable pro
portion of the holders of those bonds
should be ignorant ot the fact that
. they had ceased to draw interest:
Nothing else could show bo forcibly
the plethora of money, and the credit
of tne Government. The capitalists
do not know of any safe way to invest
their funds, and they feel that, so long
as the money remaius in the United
States Treasury, it is perfectly secure.
That "hank" will not suspend, "nor
thieves break through and steal" the
contents ot its vaults. The unlimited
confidence of the public in the Gov
ernment is an auspicious sign of the
times; the distrust of the people in
each other, acd in ordinarj business
enterprises, is the dark aspect of the
situation.
', For the good standing of the Gov
ernment, the Republican' party de
serves especial credit. The pclicy of
reducing the national debt adopted by
General Grant at the outset of his Ad
ministration has satisfied the public
of this country nuJ Europe that rc-
Imdiation was no longer to be feared,
n history, President Grant will be
honored conspicuously for that fea
ture of his policy.
There are two causes for distrust
and conservation. They are as far
apart as the poles in one respect, yet,
like those two extremes, are peculiar
ly alike. One of these causes is fear
of inflation; the other, fear of contrac
tion, and each tends to stagnation, al
beit from opposite directions. Capi
talists, proverbially timid, will not
land money, except at ruinous rates
of interest, when there is danger of
being paid back in depreciated cur-
rency. The present money is not
very good, but it is a vast improve
ment upon what we should have if
that "r:tg baby" should prow to man's;
estate. On the other handymen ot
energy and enterprise, who would be
borrowers in ordinary times, avoid
loans as much as possible when there
is apprehension of a reduced volume
of currency, with the consequent dif
ficulty in meeting future payment.-.
In either case, there is business par
alysis. Procrastination is the thief of en
terprise, as well as of time. The long
er resumption is postponed, the great
er will be the timidity. There is no
telling what the future will bring
forth.. In the opinion of some, infla
tion will result from all the turmoil
and strife of making finance a politi
cal issue; while others, again, see in
it the prospect of gradual and dis
heartening contraction. Tbe uncer
tainty of the prospect is exceedingly
harmful in its. effects. It" is to be
hoped that both parties will see the
importance of an early and final set
tlement of the currency question.
Therein is the hope of the country
There is no good reason why resump
tion should not be an accomplished
fact prior to the next Presidential
election.
