THE TKOY HERALD, "WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 12. 1877. TROY HERALD. WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 13. 1877. THE0. B. FISHBR, I W. T. THDMMI. ; HIMfl. Daniel W. Bell, successor to the firm of Henry Hell ft Bon, died In Bt. Loudon the 4lh. The government haa boon ropudlat ing In own money for years In the Interest of bond-holders. The Bitidwlch savings bank of Boston has been declared Insolvent ; total amount ol deficit about leu n,lllloos of dollars. Talk about slavery 1 Tho people of this country, white and black, are ignoble slaves to the bond-holders of Europo and America to-day. Undo Tom's Cabin and the Sunday school tracts of tho North did good sorvice for the fanatics. We are all free, and so happy, now. Speaking of mobs, what was the msjority In congress for years but a mob trampling the constitution under foot and doing violent and unlawful acts? Contraction squeezes the life out ol nil except the bond-holders. Those who have debts to pay must yield the increase involved in forced resump tion, which makes greebacka equal to gold. The aggregsto debt of the country is more than $6,000,000,000, more than three times all tho gold coin in the world. Is it possible for us to obtain gold enough to pay oven the interest on this? After a full consideration, It ha been determined by the President that the public interests will be bet ter served by tho appointment of new officers for the three leading positions iu the Now York custom house. Col. Amos Ladd of Mexico shot himself on the 7th. tie had been mar ried receutly for tho third tune. No known cause lor the rash act. lie was sixty-live years of age, and the la ther of tweuty-ono children. Auditor llollldoy has written a let tor to the editor of the St. 3aa Herald in which he thoroughly demolishes the trumped up chnrgus against him in connection with the suit to place the Hannibal and St. Joo railroad in the hand of a recluver. Wo used to hetr much of a "Sla very Oligarchy ;" what kind of an oligarchy U It now that is ruling with an iron rod ? The Aristocratic bond holder oligarchy. Don't you bellove it? don't you Jsee It ? doit't you feel it? It's so. If the deluded followers of Radi calism do not get their oyes open with the hard cxporienco of tho pros cut time, what hope Is there? They have, been taken like sheep to the slaughter, seemingly Insensible of their misery. The demonetization of the silver dollar was surreptitiously pushed through congress. Tho vigilant rep lusculatlves of tho press even were not aware of the cheat for mouths alter Its consummation. It was the work of a combination of foreign and home robbers. Shall It stand ? The f-s-l-t-h of tho government! What faith? Where Is It? 'Ihotalth that lakes millions of property with out compensation ? Tho faith that Itlves greenbacks to the people and (fold to tho bond-holders? To what itilih Is alluslnu nitdo by the ptety tyrants that think to talk the people out of their seusos ? The time is rapidly approaching only sixteen mouths in which to got ready with your gold dollars. Tho Shylocks command ; you must obey; nt least that has been tho rule, it you question their claims they will oil you repudlatora. It may givo you tho cramps, but they can stand It. What Is your misery to thorn? Boar It with Christian meekness and fortitude. If they take your cloak, give them your coat also; If they smite you on one eheok, turn to them tho other. It's nothing when you got i, and In it. California) has gone Democratic Tha Democrats will have a majority of thirty-eight on Joint ballot in the legislature ; so a Democrat will suc ceed Mr. Bargent. Crazy Horse, who was arrested at 8potled.Tall Annoy b the 4tb, ar rived at Camp ltoblnson on the 6th. While being disarmed in the guard house he drow a knife and attempted hla escape, cutting Little Big Man in the arm severely. Craiy Horse him soli was stabbed in the aide and haa sltico died from the wounds. Meetings are being held in Calla way county for the purpose of urg ing the acceptance of the compro mise bonds which allow 65 6-9 centa on the dollar. We notice In the Cal laway Gazette a list of names, under the head ot Callaway's Frlonds, of persons who have taken the new bonds ; number of persons 15, total amount $14,814 25. Tho Louisiana Journal having ad vanced the undemocratic idea that the government ought to take the railroads In hand, now evades the strictures of the Herald and the Montgomery Standard by saying it did not assert in what manner tho government should tako them lu hand. Tho Journal should learn how to express Itself clearly so that Its positions will not be misconstrued. Wo would llko to know what the Journal did mean. A correspondent of the liepubttcan at Jefferson City ou the 8th says: "A duet between Stale Auditor Hoi- laday ana Col. Harrison B. Branch of St. Joseph is talked of. Tho latter was tho author of tho associated press dispatch censuring the auditor for withholding papers connected with the Hannibal and St. Joe case. Col. Branch, it will bo remembored, was one of the seconds In the duel which uover came oil between the present editors of the O.-D. and St. Louis Journal." Be facto President Hayes Is mak ing a good deal of noise about civil service rolorm, and lu order to hold an appointment under him a man has to forego tho freedom of speoch that Is accorded by the constitution to every citizen. That is rather a poor way to correct the evils of tho civil ser vice, but the following, which we clip from an oxchango, strikes us as bolng till worse: "It appears that when Anderson of the Louisiana returning board left Washington upon his last visit, ho carried away with him a commission as deputy collector of customs. His power In that position enables him to rowurd tho witnesses who have already so obligingly com mitted porjury for him. The fact that the preildeut himself commis sioned this man while he Is still un der indictment is not the most flatter- Ing proof of his slucerlty In cl vll-ser- vlco reform." Solf-proservatlun is the first law of nature. This law is being considered somewhat by the people now. They have been the victims of compulsion, conscription and proscription. They have been defeated and bedeviled by force and fraud. Tlioy have boon de spoiled of their liberties nnd their property. They havo been robbed by law-makers and law-Interpreters, leg islators and courts. Vlolenco has ruled while many simply protested ; bullets and bayonets wore tho terri fying Instruments they must contend with. Now tho monopolists and bond-holders want a largo standing army. Their decrees havo been so sorvllely submlltad to and poromto- rily executed, that they conceivo that they have the entlro mastery. What of the producers of the land? What of the laborers ot tho factories and in the general mouhaulc arts ? What of the soldiers who fought the bat tics, but whose occupation Is gone? They all use greenbacks. Tho bond holdors may as well take notice ; a storm is browing; there are mutter lugs in the air that aro ominous of startling explosions. If thore la not a disposition towards compromise on the part of United States bond holders hi the near future, they may look out for breakers; Thai's what thk nil aciiavi. Anm aoabbm v Editor! Herald : I desire through the columns of your excellent paper to call publlo attention to the Troy High aehool in our tnidat, under the supervision ana eoniroi or i-roi. ti. P. Blanton, with an exceedingly able and large corps of teaehera. The aehool commenced on Tuesday last, the 4th lust. There are now neiny two hundred duoIIs in attendance. among them sixteen young gentlemen from the state of Louisiana, and per haps thirty or mora from various portions of the county and elsewhere. Almost every seat Is filled, and I have assurancea that a considerable num ber more are coming, both In this school district and from a distance Our trustees should see to It that ample accommodations are provided all that may come. No narrow pol icy ahould influence their actions, merely to provide seats for those liv ing in this aehool district, and that strangera ahould wait until our own children aro drat accommodated, but let them provide for all. Every per son in this community la sensible of the great importance of building ip and sustaining a good -graded aehool In this place. If in a mercouary point of view, a cordial welcome should be extended to pupils rrom a uisianco. They bring thousands of dollars to bo expended here; thoy make every thing lively In our town, and they bear with them to their homes tho memory of the hospitality of this community. We have now the op portunity of building up such a school. Prof. Blanton Is ono of the most energetic teachers we have ever known. He has spent tho whole sum mer In traveling for the benefit of tho school and In securing an ablo board of assistants. Therelore, lot us all unite iu doliiK everything that can bn done lu sustaining the Professor In his arduous labors, and in inviting and welcomingamongst us tho youths ofthn country, providing every ac commodation for thcin, mid in mak ing Troy the second Atheus in Mis souri. B. We shall take occasion to make some romarks In this connection next week, the late hour at which the above was handed In preventing our doing so in this issue. Ed$. The St. Louis Times last week Indulged in some speculations as to tho effect of Senator Mor ton's demise, which at that time seemed Imminent, it says: "He would of course bo succeeded by a Democrat, and that would of itself effect- a great change In tho composition of the senate. If the Democratic senators from Louis iana and South Carolina are admitted, and Senator Davis (who was elected by Democrats) Is counted as an Inde pendent, the Republican majority in the senate will bo but two. The absence of Morton from tho senate, and the presence of a Democrat In his place, would mako tho admission of Louisiana and South Carolina Demo crats a mattor of certainty, as he was the master spirit of the movement to keep them out. If Senator Morton ahould be replaced by a Democrat, parlies In the sonsto would bo so evenly divided that It would bo prac tically Impossible to decldo any ques tion on a strict parly basis. But the Democrats are likoly to gain another senator iu Ohio. Stanley Matthews' appointment to tho vacancy caused by the resignation of John Sherman only holds until the Ohio legislature ahall choose his successor, and It Is now quite probablo that tho legisla ture will be Democratic. Counting two Democratic in the place of Mor ton and Matthews, the scnato would stand 87 Republicans to 88 Demo crats and 1 Independent. Counting Senator Davis with tho Democrats where he will usually be found the present status of parlies would ho ex actly reversed. This Is one of tho pos sibilities of the next congress. It dops not lack much of bolng a proba bility. The President and two members of his cabinet attended the soldiers' re union at Marietta, Ohio, nnthe7ih and made speeches. The koy note of their ohln-muslo was unity and fraternity. All right. We might have had this desirable condition long since but for the bloody-shirt men who wore more devoted to party than country. Ex-Prosldout Theirs of-France died suddenly on the 8d lust. This Is a great loss-to the Republicans, whose ablost loader ho was. If thoy cry for brcodglve them a alone.

A Lon don dlapatoh received at 3 o'clock mil morning, oaten win, announces the capture ot Plevna by the Russian army on yesterday (Sunday) evening at 6 o'clock. The newa comes through the Manoheeter Examiner in a spe cial dispatch from Histova, dated Sunday night.

The Russians, is shown by the estimate of the correspondent of a London paper, had 110,000 mon before Plevna.
