General CVy, the workingmon's (do mocratic) candidate for Congress in the Second Ohio district, in alrecent speech enunciated the following views on the financial situation : "Whore are you going to got your gold to pay off ie interost and princi pal? What did I proposo in my bill? I will tell you, my countr ymon, in a few words, and will take time in the future to discuss it more fully. I would call in the circulation of the banks. The government is paying interest on that. \V bly should we have the national banks with $300,000,000 ? You know how these are gotten up. The national banks deposit $330,000,000 with the government, upon which they draw six per cent, interest in gold. Here is a bank in Cincinnati. A parcel of men get, togetl.or with $103,000 in bonds, which is deposited with the govornment. on which tiey draw gold interest, and have $90,000 to speculate upon. Now I propose to clean out these national hatiks, and put greenbacks in their place. (Cries of "Bully !" and applause.) That, would save to the people at once $25,000,000 in.taxes. Agaim I propose to pay of $515,000,000 of five-twenty bonds that are now redeemable with legal tender currency. (Voices, "But. Iy.") Then what have you when you get away your $300,000,000 of the nation. al banks and issue $515,000,000 ? Only $40,000,000 more in the market, than there was after McCulloch became Sec retary. We need more mnev ; all the interests of the South are prostrated; their cotton fields are lying waste ; they have no ploghis, no horses, no mules, no .implements of husbandry. They Want a little money to put them on their legs again and they will pay their taxes. (Cries of "Bully," and cheers.) Wo want $40,000,000 m6re money. But they tell us money will be too abun dant. Did you ever know money to be too abundant. (Laughter.) Those who fear money will become toplenty are those who have it to lend at two per cent a month. Why, we have need of more more motney than any other people. We are wide in extent of teintory, vast in resources, are building railroads, on gagcd si all kinds of enterpriso demand ing money, aind yet to-day, with all our national currency, with all our green back circulation and all outr gold, we have only $13 for each inhabitint,while England has $25 for each, and France has $36.

It wa unanimously decided that some emi nent agriculturist be invited to address us at our next meeting-. Alter debates on various resolutioDs: nd'"ibtions, the Club ma;ourned ti1i the first Saturday in August, 1809. W e wvould suggest the adoption of this plan by adjoining counties, as it is evident the crows have increased to a great oxtetnt, and unless some concerted plan of action be adopted. to thin them out, farmitig -interests in -this section mnust, stuller. Ina these times of bad s'on sns, inefllcienit labor, exorbitanti prices of'fertil1izers, and the limited area in cul tination .com pared to former times, this organization should commend itself to the consideration of the agricultural per. tion of the community. WouA.--An oxohange says, we can always tell whsat sort of a woman a man marries, by the way lie treats. the prin ter. If lie gets a common wife, lhe for gets the printer altogether. If he, gets a tolerable good wife, he will send in the notice of his.narriage. If(he gets a very good one, he will send the printers a nice slice of cake accompIanying the notice. .If he gets an extra one, he will send a nice slice of cake.and. a.bottle of wine with the notice.. And if he gets ra glorious, angelic creature-all affection mnd goodneess--ho is sure to send -the printer a nice let of cako and wine and three dollars for it yais' subscription for the papor.

A Splendid Speech, The great speech whili was deliver. od by our distinguished follow-citi son, Han's Von Bromberg, on the Fourth of July, has finally been print. and sterootypod. It is a spooiinen of the sublime, and ronlly eclipses the renowned address of Rienzi to the Roman people. But then the ocoa sion and the audience were so diffe rent I for in the one case, Rienzi ad dressed only an assembly of Roimians, but in the present instance, H1ans Von Bromberg spoke at large to his belov ad scalawags.' But here is the speech verbatim et literatin: Vellow mit der zitizens : Vot for we meets hero to-day, hey ? Vot you say?

Goon NFwS FROM ILLINOIS.-A lot ter from 11linoia gives the following cheering signs and tidings: The campaign has opened here with a will on our side. Seymour will carry more votes than any other man who could'have been nominated, Pendleton not excepted. 1He was the man the staunch Democrats wainted ; but it was generally conced5d that he would not accept the nominat ion. Whe.n the news came that he was nominated and would accept, the people were almost fiantic. You can Boo biy the Republi can journals howv coldly lio nominations wore received in the WVest; but this is: simply political talk. The Radicals are not making any effort at all. There aro no public meetings and no public men? to address them. I believe they intend to come with a nush just prier to the Octo ber election and endeavor to make a short, sharp and decisive campaign; but I believe we will have enough am munition for them, if Pennsylvania and -New York do as well as they did one year ago. A correspondent, writing from Lin coln, Illinois, under date of' July 30,. says: Giant, Colfax and victory I Such wasi the hea ding of a call for a Repub lican meeting at the court house, last. night. In response to this call, twenty two individuals responded--a portion of thorn being Democrats, who attended ouit of curiosity. This is the fourth attempt at the formation of a Grant clulb here. A witness in curt who had been cautioned to give a precise answer to eveiry question, and not to talk about what ho might think the guestion meant, was interrogotod as follows: "You drive a wagon V" "No, sir, I do not." "Why, man, did you not tell my learned friend so this moment 1" "No, sir, I did not." Now, sir, I put it. to you ohl~t oath, do you not drive a wagon ?" "No, sir." "What is your occupation, then ?"* "I drive horse, sir.'* A rumor'that Gen. Grant had been ambushed by Indians on his re9enit tour gave occasion for the following effort of the Western mnuse, which ap peared in the.Hlartsvillo~ (Tenn.)
