The :great issue before the country and which, will be the principal sub ject for political discussion for two years, in all probability, is the curren cy question. Shall we or shall -we not have not more money ? The Presidential veto by no means disposes of inflation. The leading advocates of expansion by no means deport themselves like whipped curs. On the conlrary their attitude is one of defiance and confidence in the ulti mate result. They rely on he sup port ,of the : masses ; they JSVL- back . uponj the people; they re-form their lines, disarranged by 'the Presidential treachery, and propose to increase their exertions until the final day of victory. : . . ; "The leaders of the inflation, or as it is more: aptly termed, the expansion party are the shrewdest and ablest in the ranks of the two political parties of the country. In a word we would describe them as men who know a thing or two and who assuredly know how to apply their knowledge. These men have met in conference repeated- ly since .the veto was sent in, and it is , r believed they have arranged a thor ough plan for the campaign. Some inklings of this programme reach us. It is said that ; a canvass of all the agricultural States and the great mi ning:: State of Pennsylvania has s been determined upon for the sum mer and fall, in the elections for . Congress.' Every- legitimate means of carrying these elections will be re sorted jto. ) The best speakers and the best writers will be called into, re quisition to establish irrefragably the need for further issue of currency and the safety of a reasonable additional . issue. , The canvass will be animated beyond any of recent years, - for the contractionists will make equally as . strong efforts to prevent expansion as the expansionists will make to secure it. A manifesto will be sent out very soon by the leading advocates of ex : : pansion. .. The fine-spun, selfish theories of Wall street and Boston can make no headways in this section. They will also be indignantly rejected by our al lies in the West, The people are taunt ed for their ignorance in matters finan . cial. t .They: do not propose" to Idarn ' of 'the'r Vanderbilts'- and ' thet jay Goulds, and tbey. mean, too, to act 'j wisejy.npd well.; As. there were brave men before Agamemnon, so there.jare , capable financier out of .the limit of theNewTorfe -Crold Excbatfge and . . who were not bredup under the shad ow of Harvard. .' ' j " A gaost important ' phase 5 of this . business is the ; riddance of those issues which, have kept chains on the V South, chains that have eaten into the 'flesh' like the vile bonds that held the brave Bonnivard. Thank Goi, a U vM?w.tT? distant view it may be of ; deliverance; is,, afforded.. 7 South V-.- joined to West -keen spirit , an intel lect to' mighty muscle and i;who again, shall triumph over the rights and freedom of States! u.Werhail the dawn of this new day the change of- ' issues the? ehd'o Ditterness, tne era A united popular of rationality.'! front must bring peace and prosperity . tcTfltH ;!Tiw England' rdomin ation has been a rule of unmitigated rigor of selfishness and hate ' bat the ad ministration of affairs by West and South will inevitably be broad aiid generous and restore the lost feelin" y-: j o of nationality and concord. THE SOUTHERN DISASTER. When we first wrote of the disaster on the Mississippi caused by the floods'-breaking through the banks we bad no conception-of the vast ex tent of the injury done. ;. As the ao- ; counts eome in, gaining fresh interest withlhe accumulation of details, we are '"forced to believe that no fnch - calamityhas overtaken the people of Louisiana since the country has beep ' .settled. x v. . . . ; -Vl , - - Five, millions j of acres, half in cot .rton'anl half in sugar cane", have been swept by the flood.- Nearly two hun dre4)tJ)b.jsSnd'peopleAav'e been left destitute. r j . . , , 5 VVe i.ire glad to see that thia Feder al Government has oouie to the aid fdL'th& 3ufEerera and that at least ffft-da!yiu pon- ration- iss aedby th$ -ffi(fs-Sf"tbei army;ffDdttbtles8 .ifit-.JiiKt.?,i!!ii.vfi-.! of these people will be made by Con gress. Private charity, too, has been active. In a cause like this let not the hand be t stayed until , the r good work is completed. The generosity that ever distinguishes Southern char acter should certainly not fail when the object of relief is a Southerner who has beeii overwhelmed by mis fortune. Here are thousands of our fellow qpuntrynien who have lost their all in the gulphinsj ruin. Shall we not help them all we can? Let the business men of Wilmington, ever ready at such calls to duty, no ble in the performance of Christian deeds of charity as they were gallant in the service of their country in war, respond to this last appeal. Help your suffering feflow men on the Mis-' sissippi. ARKANSAS. The situation is unchanged. The members of Congress from that State with one exception are making stren uous exertions to have it appear that the people are for Brooks. But, in formation direct and of a reliable character from Arkansas represents sentiment among the solid people as being in favor of Baxter, who has made an honest and capable execu tive. It looks, however, as if the t&e Brooks usurpation will be likely to succeed. Brooks is seeking Fed eral intervention "if the worst should come to the worst." His party eon- fidently rely on aid from Grant, not withstanding his repeated declara- Itions of neutrality, " if it shall be necessary for him to interfere and prevent the success of the Baxter party. There is a funny statement connecting Senator Morton with this matter. Morton, as might naturally be supposed, leans to the Brooks party justas he has to the Kellogg villainy in Louisiana. For thi3 reason, it is understood, and in view of the contingency which may arise where by the Arkansas plotters will need outside help, Senator Morton's last speech on Louisiana affairs has so far been withheld from publication. In that speech, delivered on the 16 th in stant, Mr. Morton took" ?uch high ground in regard to Federal inter ference with the States as would make it awkward for him to support any interference with Arkansas affairs under the present circumstances. When the speech does appear iu the official record it is expected that it will be toned down considerably. We believe the Brooksites count in vain on Grant's intervention in their behalf. The burnt child shuns the fire. Louisiana taught him a lesson he will not soon forget. Col. I. W. Avery, late of the At lanta Constitution, has purchased a third interest in the Atlanta Herald, and becomes one of its editors. That paper is now owned by Messrs; R. A. Alston, Henry W. Grady and I. W. Avery, and the style of the' firm is Alston & Co. TIMEET .TOPICS. If all scientists were like Agassiz there would be no danger of atheism intrenching itself behind scientific research and. specu lation. . Mr. "Whipple, the brilliant essay-; ist, in aa' article on Agassiz, 6ajs: '"We were once present at dinner where Agassiz was the most conspicuous guests, and where this advice was given. The great natural ist twirled his napkin in his hand, paused, smiled benignantly to all his friends, listen ed somewhat nervously t what they had to say, and then answered : You dont know what this tendency of science will lead to. God will go out of. the. unirerse as fast as Darwinianism comes in. If the theory were demonstrated by facts, T-wuld be the- rstto-BuMain it, buIjean't -give up. God Almighty for an ingenious hypothesis, when. I know there are facts which contradict the hypothesis. I am, first of all, a man of science; I follow whithersoever science leads; but I get enraged when I am voted an old fogy and a man behind the age, be cause I decline to accept a theory which my generalized knowledge and my daily in vestigations forbid me even to tolerate.'"? It is Well known that the manners of the United. States Congress are not Chesterfield ian. There has been a sad falling off since the days ante-bellum. The members of the House seem to be growing more unruly and boisterous every day. Business is transact ed amid the greatest confusion, and this was particularly the case . Saturday, as we learn by a special telegram. Toward the close of the session several, amendments were offered to the pending bill by , M r.: Lawrence, of Ohio, but a number'of mem bers for some cause or other seemed de termined that he should not address the: House, and as soon as be opened his mouth they drowned his ' voice by such calls as vote," "vote," " vote," " hear," hear," 1! heat" This scene was'kept up 'for .over half an hour, and. Mr. Maynard, .who. was in the chair, was utterly po werless to stop it. The bland and courtly Prince Littlefleld, with other members of the Florida ring, re centfy gave a dilnneft 0 his new Excellency Gov. Stearns. - -This refined thief is doing .hia33!veibest to makgBU.cb a friend at court as he bad in Oasianr RiHart;.;: At this time it would be a very .Icveqieoi thing-'k) re-!' turn to North; Carblina, ' and -. leave grand ; railroad schemes tlnmatiired.-;'W'e say nolh ;ina: of sucli a oipoBsib'u costume and close quarters aod rock-quarry-iDg whetlier a man will or no. It is astonishing how some men of gen ius rise in their profession. An ex-English officer who once outranked Sir Garnet Wolseley in his own regiment is now a re porter on a New., York evening paper. Young men take heart from this. STAR-DUST. A week conclusion Saturday night. When a lady faints what figure does she need? You must bring her 2. The New York Times paid Bret Harte $600 for the "Rose of Tuo lumne." ' fr Connecticut modestly makes mention of the fact that three of the nine Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States are natives of that State. In the current number of Scrib ner, Dr. J. G. Holland deals a forci ble blow at the tendency to sensa tionalism which is beginning to rule and ruin the lecture system. Tiie time of the marriage of Pri nee Ferdinand, of Saxony, and the Princess Marie Louise, of Belgium, has not yet been definitely fixed, but the Belgian papers state that it will take place some time next month. "I was a bov at Braddock's de- - feat in 1755," says Jean Revore, of bracKen county, liy. This beats Count Waldeck and Captain Lahr b'ush; in fact, Reyore is thought to be full 130 years old, and the oldest man in the civilized world. The most thoroughly burned-out-of-house-and-home man in the United States is Charles Williams, of Portland, Me. Seven times .during the past year has his residence been consumed. He now proposes to build a raft and live on a pond. But somebody will be sure to scuttle his craft. "I "dreamed the other night," said Bijsh, as he helped his Honor into his overcoat, "that I asked to borrow fifty cents of you, and you handed it out." "Curious coinci dence," replied his Honor, as he but toned his coat, "I had the same dream, except that I told you I would see you hanged first." An Irishman was brought be fore a Judge on charge of stealing a widow's pig. "Pat," said the Judge, "When you are brought face to face with the widow and the pig on the great Judgment day, what account can you give of yourself?" "Did you say the pig would be there, yer hon or?" "To be sure I did." "Well, thin, yer riverince, I'd say, 'Mrs. Ma loney, there's yer pig.'" PALMETTO LEAVES. . . Pmnix: It is rumored that A. A.

A Horrible Conspiracy CJneartbed In Loalilaua', A uo 1-respondent of the New Or leans Picayune, writing from Grant Parish, La., commences a cheerful narrative of blood by remarking that, at Colfax, "murder and robbery still embrace one? another in the. merry carnival of hell;" which, applied to the locality he writes from, seems ap propriate enough. Tax-Colleetor Re duskey,.it seems, collected $600 in taxes, and deposited it for safe keep ing with Lieut. Winnie, without tha knowledge of the colored men of .L-olfax. lhe same night a shivering negro, armed, with an ax, sought shelter at the Tax-Collector's house and received it,! and in the middle of the night he tried to murder his sleep ing host, inflicting however, only a flesh-wound. 1 The Collector woke, grappled with his assailant, aiid drove him yff.
