paper nt by mail lonarr than the. time paid for "Well, then, if greenbacks are as good as coin, why redeem or retire them at all As we must have a paper currency why not have green-hacks entirely, in place of National Bank paper The greenback costs nothing, while National Bank paper is based upon bonds drawing interest. Hence, why not wipe out National Banks, redeem the bonds upon which they with greenbacks, anJ thus have a costless paper currency as cood as coin Can you see any harm in that 1 Brown Co. News. We will briefly anwer your questions in the order they are put 1.

"Why redeem or retire them (greenbacks) at all Because they are simply "promises to pay money ishUed by our Government, as a war measure, in order to carry on the war, nnd iving answered the purpose for which they were issued, the Government is in honor bound to them as soon as possible. 2. "Why not have greenbacks entirp.ly, in place of National Bank paper?" Because in the first place, is a positive provision in the law authorizing the issue of greenbacks, that the amount in circulation shall never exceed four hnmlred millions. Does brother Leeds wish to "contract the currency" to that amount, by abolishing the National Bank notes Because further, we do not want another United States Rank established. The Supreme Ccurt has decided that the greenbacks were un-constifutionai, and were only justified by the "war power" of the Government.

It sounds strange tohear Dem ocrats, who denounced tlie "greenbacks" when they were first issued, as worthless rngs. now advocating their adoption in preference to any other money. 3. "Why not wipe out National Banks," Because, to "wipe out the National Banks," interwoven as they are with the whole business of the country, would be simply impos sible, without at the same time "wip- iner out" four-fifths of the business men of the country, who are indebted to the National Banks. Has brother Leeds ever thought what would be the ffect of all the National Banks suddenly closing up their business and demanding payment of their loans and discounts within 90 days Talk about "contraction" and panics Should such a thing as that be attempted, the country would see a panic to which that of 1S73 was mere child's play.

We might give other reasons why the "wiping out" of the National Banks is impracticable, but the above is sufficient. "The Adams Co. New Era," the new Republican paper in West Union, Adams county, has made its appearance on our table, and is a very well printed and well conducted sheet, as it could not fail to be under the ed itorial management of our old friend, C. E. Irwin, formerly of the Ports mouth Republican.

It is a pity that some arrangement conld not have been made to unite the interests of the "Scion," the old Republican pa per, with those of the "New 60 as to have but one paper, as there is certainly not sufficient patronage for tiro Republican papers in Adams county, nnd we predict that brother Irwin will find it so beforo he has tried it a year.

Terrible Riots! In Pittsburg and Baltimore! Great Destruction of Life and Property! Strikes on the B.

O. and Pennsylvania Railroads. THE STRIKES SPREADING AND OTHER RAILROADS INVOLVED. GENERAL STOPPAGE OF FREIGHT ON ALL THE LEADING LINES. State Militia and U.

S. Troops Called Out. Awful Scenes in Pittsburg! A REIGN OF TERROR! MOB RULE FOR 24 HOURS. Fire Robbery and Murder! Order at Last Restored and the Excitement Subsiding. On our third puge will be found the details of two of the most terrible riots that have ever occurred in this country, growing out of strikes among the firemen and brakemen in thi freight department of the B.

O. and Pennsylvania railroads. The trouble began with the former road, and was caused by a recent order re" ducing the wages of employees 10 per cent in consequence of which the men engaged in the strikes complained that they could not make enough to support their families, and were compelled to resist the reduction. In the ease of the Pennsylva nia road, it seems that in addition to a recent reduction of wages, the employees were required to do increas ed work without extra pay therefor. The engineers and conductors of the freight trains, and all the employees of the passengertrains on both roads, seem not to have taken any part in the strike, though no doubt sympathizing with the men engaged in it.

The strikers on the B. G. railroad refused to allow the passage of freight trains in either direction un til their demands were complied with, though they permitted the passenger and mail trains to run as usual. The railroad officials appealed to the civil authorities for protection, but they were unable to control the strikers, and the Governors of West Virginia and Maryland called out the Stata militia. The troops were attacked by a mob in Baltimore, and in 6elf defense fired upon their as sailants, killiug a number of them and wounding others.

The Gover nors of both States then called on the President for U. S. troops, to aid in restoring order, and they were promptly furnished, and at last accounts there had been no furtlfer violence, though the strikers continued to prevent the passnge of all freight trains at Grafton and other points, and thus the main bnsiness of the road has been brought to a stand still. The strike on the B. 0.

road was followed on Friday by a strike on the Pennsylvania road at Pitts- burc Here also the civil authori ties proved unable to protect the railroad, and the State militia were called out by the Governor. Several hundred troops were sent from Philadelphia, who arrived at Pitts- burer on Saturday. The sheriff of the county undertook to arrest the ringleaders of the strike, with the aid of the troops, when the latter were furiously assailed by the mob and the sheriff was shot dead. The soldiers fired on the mob, killing several, and unfortunately among the number a woman and child. Infuri ated by this, the mob rapidly increased in numbers, and drove the soldiers into the railroad round house, where they were besieged for several hours, and finally burned out by the mob, chased and fired upon, several being killed and many more wounded, before they reached a place of safety.

The mob now had things all their own way, and set fire to the depot, broke open and pillaged cars of freight, set fire to all the railroad buildings, and for several hours the work of ruin and destruction went on without interruption. The destruction of railroad property is im mense amounling to four or five millions of dollars. At length the better class of citizens rallied, and organized tnemseives ior me proiec- 1 It 11. i tion of the city, more troops arrived, and order was finally restored. The strike soon extended to the various connecting lines of the Penn" sylvania nnd B.

O. roads, both East and West, and also to the Erie road, and all freight trains have been suspended, on the main East and West lines, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, except the N. Y. Cen tral, and the Chesapeake Ohio roads, which have not yet been interrupted. The injury thus caused to the business of the whole country is very great, and from present indications, there is no telling bow long the blockade may last.

The B. O. and Pennsylvania roads show no signs of yielding to the demands of the strikers, but it is probable some compromise wfil lT made in a few days, which will settle the matter for the present at least. -o- Republican President's Policy Endorsed. The Republican Convention held here last Saturday, to appoint delegates to the State Convention at Cleveland, was large nnd spirited, much greater interest being manifested than usnal cn such occasions.

W. P. Hughey, Esq of Paint was called to the Chair, and A. Harman appointed Secretary. Mr.

Hughey, on taking the Chair, said that he had got up almost from a sick bed, to attend the Convention, so great was his anxiety to have an emphatic expression made by the Republicans of old Highland in favor of the policy of President Hayes. Here he was interrupted by a spontaneous outburst of applause. He hoped Ohio would answer Iowa at Cleveland, in such tones that the country would know Ohio stands by her honored son, President Hayes. The following gentlemen were appointed delegates to the State Convention D. H.

Staitsman, of Madison W. C. Newell, of Liberty Dr. Fullerton, of Liberty W. P.

Hughey, of Paint; C. M. Overman, of Liberty J. L. Boardman, of Liberty; J.

Meek, of Madison Hon. P. N. Wick erham, of Brushcreek Hon. H.

Dawson, of Salem H. H. Redkey, of Concord, and John Brown, of Clay. The following resolution was adopted Resolved, 4'That having nnabalcd confidence in ttie idom, honesty, and of President Hayes, we indorse his conrsc towards the itcople of the Smthern States, late iu rebellion, recoirnizioe in his conduct a broad and humane statesmanship, which should meet the approval of all who isli a restoration of amily between the sections ot our country and the strelurlhcnint; of the ties which bind us together as a nation. The resolution was adopted unan imously, and with enthusiastic applause.

Delegates to tho Senatorial Con vention were then appointed, and also a new County Central Commit tee, but the Secretary of the meeting, Mr. Ilarman, having left town on Monday without furnishing us any report, and not having returned when our paper went to press Tues day evening, we are unable to give the names either of the Central Committee or the delegates to the Convention. They will appear our next issue. After the Convention adjourned, tho members of the new Central Committee who were present, met and made a temporary organization by electing Dr. D.

Noble temporary Chairman. A resolution was then passed that all the members of the Committee be notified to meet at the Court House in Hillsboro, on Sat urday, Aug. 4th, at 1 o'clock P. for the purpose of electing perma nent officers- The Lebanon Gazette is the title of a large and handsome new Repub lican paper, just started at Lebanon, Ohio, by our old friend, W. H.

P. Denny, formerly of the Circleville Union and Wilmington Journal. Mr. Denny published the Lebanon Star over twenty years ago, and now returns to Lebanon after his long absence, to re-engage in the newspaper business. Of course, with his long experience and ability as an editor, lie will make his new venture a success, if the Republicans of Warren are able to support two Republican papers, out oi tnis we nave our doubts, nnd the old Star is too good a paper and has too strong a foothold to be easily displaced.

We are glad to 6ee, however, that Bro. Denny emphatically disclaims any desire to "run out" the Star, and hope they mny both receive a paying support. The Ohio State says there "are good sound Republicans" who think Hayes made a mistake in trust ing tho South with the control of their own State Governments, but "We do not count ex-Senator Wade among that number. A man whose sense of honor is so obtuse as to enable him to use the privileges of tho floor as an ex-Senator, in or der to pursue his vocation ns lobbyist for a plundering scheme, has reached the point where his praise or blame is alike indifferent.

Fort Ancient--Shaker Village. LEBANON, July, 1877. Ku. News Yonr correspondent, thinking that something from this, one of the oldest settlements in onr would interest some of the readers of the News, submits the following: One can readily nnderstand why this localtiy shonld have been among the Drst settlements in onr State for the pioneer has always been an expert as a judu-e of farming land, and in this county, (Warren) can he seen as good fanning land as the State cau boast of. Speaking of the early settlement of Lebanon, reminds me of what I noticed some lime since, in nassine through the old cemetery.

Observing an odd-lookingand "old-time" gravestone, I approached nnd read on the slab, Ibis Inscription "To the Memory of lchalwd Corwiu The deceased waf the first settler iu the place here Lebanon stands. 1796." A short distance from this grave is a sarcophagus on It is Ihe following inscription "To the Memory of F.liza I). Clay, daughter ol Henry and Lncretia Clay, who died on the illh day of August, aged years, during a journey from their residence at I-eilngtou, in Kentucky, to Washington Since coming here, we have visited Fort Ancientt one of the many works of the ancient Monnd Builders. The Fort is situated a few miles east of Lebanon, near the Little Miami river. It entirely encloses excepting the gaps that occur in It at reeular intervals of a few rods a rectangular space, and contains ecveral hundred acres.

The gaps spoken of, are about 'a feet in width. We should judge the embankments composing the Fort, to be about 10 or li feet across at th; base, and something near that in height. The entire distance around Ihe Fort, is about six miles. A few rods east of the Fort are two Mounds, which were, at one time, of considerable height, hut "have been dug down by curiosity seekers. An old gentleman, who has lived near the Fort for many years, has sjtent much time in digging in the Mounds, and has in his possession many curiosities.

He is said to have also found valuable silver coins, bearing the Spanish stamp. Some go so far as to say that, within the limits of the Fort, traces of the streets of a city have been discovered. the embankments grow huge oak aud beach trees, as large as those in the adjoining woods, showing that centuries must have elapsed since the building of the defense. The builders have 6liown no little knowledge ot military tactics, in tiie location of the Fort, situated as it is, at the confluence of two streams with the Miami, the banks of which form a natnral and precipitous wall on the northwest and south, upon which thj Fort is built. How strange it seems, that not only the nation.

bill Ihe history, even, of a nation so advanced as llieir works show them to have been, should fade into oblivion. THE SHAKER SETTLEMENT. Some fonr miles east of Lebanon is the Shaker settlement, known as I'liion Village. These Shakers were among the llrst to settle in this coun ty, coming hi re in the year 1SJ7. They nnmbercd then abont two hundred persons, but number at present only abont Beventj-.

They own about two thousand acres of as good farming land as can be fouud in almost any of the States. They keep excellent stock on their farms, and everything about their premises shows thrift and economy. Tiie buildings are unique in apearance, and remind one of Ihe old-time buildings we see in hooks. They are, however, large and commodious. Their property Is held in common, and when they have a new couvert, he is first required to give all he may possess, in money or lands, to the society.

The farm is divided into three divisions, called Central, Mill, and cast Farms, respectively, ine care of each faim and the supervision of the lalior, is iu the hands of two males and two females. A few Sabbaths since we attended church in their village, and were struck ith the contrast be tween the plain and simple appearance of the inte rior of their church, and some of our modern, car peted and gorgeously finished churches. One thing we particularly noticed was the extreme cleanliness of the room, which led us to conclude, that instead of regarding cleanliness as "ncrf to god liness," tbey rather consider it a part of godliness. The men wear their hair long, hanging over their shonhlers, and are dressed in olne drab-colored suits. The omen wear the Shaker "bonnet," that used to be fashionable among others than the Shakers.

Their dress, though plain and simple U. the "make-up," compared with a ball ilrws, is yet of rich material. On euterina the chnrch they Im mediately remove the bonnet from the head, which discloses a lace cap, worn by all the women and even the yooug girls, giving the latter a el derly look. All the women have the pallid face and solitary look peculiar to uuns. They began their worship by singing a spirited song, after which the audience was addressed by the minister or elder, who spoke more directly to the visitors than to "the good believers," as they like to call themselves.

He endeavored to prove that none but the Shakers are "on the right and explained some of the principles of their re ligion, claiming that Christ had commanded celiba- cv. Ac. en he had concluded, he said to the "good believers," "Let ns march," when all formed in a circle aronnd a few individuals who seemed to be the leaders of the choir. Then, dur ing the siiiL-iiiir of a lively song, they marched around in a circle, shaking the head and hands, in a way that seemed rather comical to an uubeliever.

is The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce Inst week passed the following resolutions Whekeas, The effect of the Resumption Act is, in the opinion of this Chamber, working unnecessary hardship to the industrial and financial interests of the country, creating apprehensions of depression and disaster, and believing that the Government can make no adequate preparation for the resumption and maintenance of specie payment at so early a date as fixed by said act, and that with silver remonetized, the public debt properly funded, and the exercise of a rigid private and public economy, we may safely await the time when natural causes and healthful conditions shall indicate a date when resumption should be enforced by law therefore, Resolved, That the National Board of Trade respectfully recommend to Congress such modification of the Resumption Act ss shall postpone the time of its enforcement. This no doubt expresses the views of a majority of tho business men of the West, and it is very probable that the date of resumption may be postponed beyond Jan. 1st, 1S79.

Teachers' Institute. MARTINSVILLE, July 24, 1877.

i I Ed. News: Dear Sir: As the time is fast approaching for the meeting of the Highland County Teachers' Association, I think a word or two at this time would not he amiss. In Highland county there are upwards of two hundred Teachers, nnd for the purpose of advancing the cause of Education throughout the county, they havo an organization for their advancement. Now, it is the duty of every tencher lo attend these Institutes, and make them a success. Last year there were cn-1 rolled one hundred and thirty names, with an average daily attendance of! about forty per cent.

Now, I ask, why is this? Is it because you think you know enough already, and care not to exert yourselves farther? Is it because you think you do not get value received? Is it because you think it will cost you a dollar or two? Or what is it? I attribute manii excuses. Acer- tain class of teachers will tell you they do not like the way onr Institute is managed. Now, if this excuse debars any from attending, I would implore you to come up this year and help ns manage it in a proper way, and in a way that the greatest benefit may be derived therefrom. You have just as much say so as anybody else, and it is your own fault if you stand back. Others say, "I'll not go to the In stitute because I'm afraid they will call on me to answer some question, or solve some problem," Is this the language of the true teacher? One whose whole soul is interested in the good work? My co laborers, it is not that which know that we wish to learn, but it is that which we do not know.

It is cn easy matter to answer a question if we know the answer, but if wo do not know it, the live, energetic, wide-awake teacher is ever anxious to find it out. Some sny "Oh! it will do no good. I can't get i certificate anyhow." If any teacher thicks that he or she has not received his or her just deserts nt the hands of the County Examiners, the Institute is the very place he or she ennts to meet them, and in the presence of the teachers of the county, let his or her grievances be made known there, instead of to "Tom, Dick and Harry," outside of the profession. If you were in Clinton county you could only get one six months' certificate. I am afraid if that were the rule in Highland, many teachers would be cut off and have to make their living in some other way.

But I tell you tho teachers in Clinton county arc in dead earnest. A certificate, when once gotten in this county, is highly prized. It is expected that every teacher will attend the Institute. And whenetcr they enroll their names ns members of the Association, they have to pay two dollars, and are comptlled to attend so many days regularly, unless they have some reasonable excuse. They are required to announco tho time they expect to be in tho Institute when they register.

The whole thing is systematized. The Examiners hold, that if a teacher does not at tend the Institute, or some school, or take an interest in education, then that teacher is going "backwards," nnd they do not propose to license 6uch to teach school in their county. You sec, in one sense of the word, that it is rather compulsory upon teachers in Clinton to attend the Institute. Now, my fellow-teachers of Highland county, if you were to come up to the Institute and become acquainted with the Examiners, do you not think, by being associated together for two weeks, that they (the Examiners) could form a better estimate as regards your fitness for teaching, than they can in one day's examination when you are scared half to death? Certainly they can. When a pupil first enters school, is he not very much confused and embarrassed when first called upon to recite? Does he not blunder and stammer and make many errors? And why? Because those around him are strangers, tho teachers are strangers.

He seems to think that all eyes are turned upon him; he becomes confused, bewildered; ho loses confidence in himself; his mind bc- comes divided and loses its power to concentrate upon its work. But how different when Lo becomes ac i quamted with those around him. He regains his feels free nnd self confidence. He! easy. The mind is once more clothed in its strength, and can perform tue woi a assigned it.

So it is with you, teachers. You como up to bo examined. You scarcely know half a dozen faces in io examiners room. You are nl I most afraid to speak to the Lxamin- ers. Yon are half scared out of your wits, SO 10 xuu inn.

.:1 Yon when those 1 ame the Examiners for it, in fact it is your enrn fault. To the young teachers, and about entering the profession, I would say, if you expect to make yourselves known in tho profession, come to the Institute. Let all the teachers of the county turn out, and let us make the Institute a grand success. I would say to tho local directors, township clerks nnd treasurers, Trobnte Judge nnd Auditor, in fact all who are interested, either directly or indirectly, in the common schools, visit our Institute. I would say right here, that I think the Probate Judge and County Auditor ought to make it a point to visit the Institute and address the teachers.

Now, fellow-teachers, let ua have a errand rally. Let it be said that the Institute of 1877 was success in all its features; and that the teachers of old Highland are wide awake and alive to their own interests. "With malice toward none, and charity for all," I remain H. N. PATTON, Pres.

H. C. T. I. Hayes in the South.

The New York Tribune editorially endorses the letter, an extract from which we publish below, in the following strong language "We publish this morning an eloquent tribute to the courage, patriotism, and sagacity which the President has displayed during ine opening months of his administration. It is from the pen of a Southern statesman of national reputation, both before the war and since." To the Editor of the Tribune. Sir It is now three months since Mr. Hayes came to the Presidency. It is impossible to over estimate the services he has rendered to tho country.

When he laid his hnnds on the Government he found it invested with perils. It wag threatened with revolution. A powi eiful party denounced the new Administration and menaced its very existence. The President was not only confronted with powerful enemies, but he had to deal nt once with formidable questions-questions involving the peace of the country, and that could neither be adjourne, over to another day nor be compromised. The preceding Administration had gone out of power leaving these questions in a most unsatisfactory st.ite.

Congress had adjourned without voting supplies to carry on the Government. It left tho President to deal with the mo-mert ms question4) beforo him without conferring on him authority to preserve the peace of the country, and without the resources that the exigencies of the situation demanded. Tho President studied the situation, and then proceeded to deal with the dangerous complications that environed the Government. Without intervention of military authority he effected a settlement tf the trouble in South Carolina. He then proceeded to the adjustment of affairs in Louisiana and a State that had for years exhibited a spectacle which was a reproach at once to free government and to civilization, to-day enjoys the perfect tranquility of a well-ordered Commonwealth.

Tho conn-try has never witnessed a higher triumph of statesmanship. A profound peace overspreads the whole South. Never has an Administra tion accomplished so much good for a country so short a time, liiere is qnite a general discussion of the President's Southern policy. It' is made a national policy. There is an apprehension express ed by some that tho policy of the Administration will result in the overthrow of tho Republican party.

It is a groundless fear. The course of the Administration will immeasurably strengthen the party that brought it into power. It will attract to it the best men throughout the country. It will awaken an American spirit. It will deepen everywhere the confidence of the people in our system of free govern ment.

For the first time since the war there will be seen in the South a powerful party supporting the Ad ministration, and iu full sympathy with conservative men all over the country. The Administration is growing in strength in the South everyday. It makes a deep impression on the people. The party leaders will not yield yet they look to an organized force for their advancement. The press will still teach loyalty to party.

But deep in the hearts of the peo pie there is a growing confidence in nn Administration that has restored the rights of the South, that respects local self government, and that recognizes the supremacy of civil government; an Administration that finds its authority not in the dictation of a party, but iu tho Constitution. There may be no charge in the names of parties at this time, no prcnonnced departures from existing alliances but already the rigidity of party lines is yielding. Men who respect themselves ana who le ppect good government, men who 1 give the Democratic party its true strength are already speaking ou boldly in terms of warm approal oi of the Adminigtration. They do not hesitate to say that Mr. Hayes has already accomplished more for the South than Mr.

Tilden could havo done. Let the President go on steadily ith his good work, lie may trust in the South. All over it there arc true nun tvlm l.ivo their country, who lovo the Union, and who will sup-I port an Administration that already i iccalls the best days of tho Republic. Georgia, June 5.1877.

Mr. Ernst Lloyd's estimate of the amount of gold coin nnd bullion in nse is three thousand five hundred millions. By the accidental omission of three cyphers, it was incorrectly stated in cur last issue at 3,500,000 three millions five hundred thousand.

The difference between the two snnis is too great to allow the error to pass uncorrected. A correspondent of tho Cincinnati Times mentions Mr. L. H. Williams, of Ripley, as a candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court.

Mr. Williams is a young lawyer, of fine address, good abilities, was a good soldier and is a sterling Republican. Ho would make nn excellent Clerk, and his nomination would do rcdit to the Republican Convention. Belle-fontaine Republican. I.
