ARB THE PHILOSOPHERS JOKISG CLOSE WORK THE CURRENCY. inwardness. After a great deal of (shuffling, Morton was, through tho influ enco of llloino, denied the Secretaryship, which ho bad boon promised, and was offeror the Secretaryship of the Navy, which he declined to tako whilo, as we have seen, the patronage which was, guaranteed to Coukling and bis frionda has been put at the disposal of his enemies in so far as Garfield has the power. As anothor specific breaoh of faith, the Herald, after relating what said by ConkliiiR and Garfield to oach othor when the senator visited Mentor at tho Preidont elect's invitation three months ago, sheds this specific beam of light on tho Custom House that the document was handed him three months ago, and he bad not had an opportunity of prosenting it. "Had you not an opportunity at tho last mooting asked Mr.

Packard. "I will answer that question by asking another," said General DeLaoy. "Did you not have a resolution which you wore nnablo to offer ''Yes, air," responded Mr. Packard, with a rislnp; color. "But you votod for an adjournment while I voted against It." Applause, General DeLaoy thon moved tbe previous question on his resolution for tho appointment of a oommitteo of three to investigate the Twelfth Ward oontest.

Tho previous question was than ordered, on a call of tbe roll, by a vote of 70 to U. THE CHAIRMAN'S BACKBONE. Tbo roll was thon called on tbo motion to refer tbe oontost and appoint tbo committeo. Great confusion prevailed, tho opponents of tho. motion doing all in their power to obstruct tha 'rolloalL Chairman Nlthols, wbo waa woll nlub exhausted with bis manipulation of a big gavel, sailed Vice president Dike to tha Mr.

Curtis strode down tbe aisle, and with a threatening countenance demanded to know what the question waa 1 Mr. Dlko tried several timos to explain it, but tbo Interruptions continuing, tbe roll call coased. Chairman Nichols hsBtlly returned to his seat, brought tha gavel down with a tremondoua thwack, and ordered the roll call to procoed without the voto of Mr. Curtis, and tha voting proceeded. Mr.

Curtis, uiau agad, however, to got bis vote in on tbe call of tha absontses. Mr. Weaver, tn explaining his vote, relteratad his assertion that the document nresonted from tbo Twelfth Ward waB fraudulent In ovory respect. He Bald be understood that becauso ho stood by tba Administration he was to bo put down, but ho would vote "No," anyhow. On the roll oall tho Seventeenth Ward, Mr.

Estes, of the Ninth Ward, and Mr. ChrlBtman, of tbo Eleventh, voted with the Administration men amid applause. Tho resolution of General DoLacy was adopted by tho close vote of 69 to 57, and then, on motion of Mr. Maddox, the meeting adjourned. Tha bylaws provide tbat no regular meetings shall be held in June, July or August, and unless a speoial mooting 1b called tba committeo will not meet again until September.

A TROPHY. The Brooklyn Gun Club SliootN for the Polbeiniis Bronze Tlie Lnrircut Attendance on the Field tn the ISiatory of the Club A Splendid Work of Art Won bv a Thorough Sportsman Mr. A. Eddy tbe Sn'cccsmfitl Competitor A Fine Day's Sport, uud Uow it was Appreciated YcBtorday was in all respects a grand field day for tho old steady going and reBpectablo Brooklyn Gun Club. This institution it uoed hardly be said, iB too woil known through its often published scores to need introduction to tbo public.

Tbo factrf, however, that tha great State tournament which la to ba held in June at Coney Island, will bavo, among the competitors for the great prizes, members of the Brooklyn Gun Club, and tbat tha delogates from this organization, bo)b at Rochester and Seneca Falls aided In bringing about tbo results on which all Long Island sportsmen are congratulating themselves, tba holding of tb State Convention bare and the tournament at tho Maud arc, of themselves reason enough why tho Introduction to tho occurrences of yesterday at Dexter'a should inoludo something, however little, about tho olub Itself. Tbe Brooklyn Gun Club was was first organizod on tha 24th of July, 1872. Its objects waro then cloarly atatod, and havo nover bean misunderstood. Thoy wero, primarily, the enforcement of all laws and ordinances against tbe killing and selling of game out of season and the encouragemeut of a genuine, sportsmanlike spirit among Its members. With this broad and catholio view neforo tbo gentlemen who organized themselves as this club thorc could be no doubt of its success.

Tbo olub has never had a doubtful exiBtonoe in regard to these objoots. Tbe law breakers have moro than ofton experienced the effects of its organized efforts to protoot game, and its membors, while carryiug out this laudable purpose, have beon SOCIALLY UNITED and havo been noted for tho high toned and spirited manner in which tbey succeeded in en joyiug themselves. Among tba organizers and one or tha othor of tllasa classos of notes will ba withdrawn, aud clttior puljlio or private tnurs will fill the ohannota of circulation. 1 Admitting now, that there Is no constitutional right or authority in the Goneral Government to issue a paper curroncy, tha question for consideration la cot whether the bank or Government notos should be withdrawn, but whero the right belongs and with whom has the power been lodged of striking, issuing and regulating the curroncy of the nation 7 If wo shall deoldo that this Is a trust committed to the Government, wo ahall oonolude that a ourrenoy baa been provided for the nation'a use in its fundamental law, then the drat thing in order would bo to compel tho abdication of the usurpor, withdraw and destroy alt private Issues of ourroney, and forbid bankers or any othor class of traders to Issue ourrenoy of any kind, and especially of papor. Accustomed, however, as the people of Ibis oountry have boeu for generations past to tha use of an almost exclusive paper ourrenoy, since wo bove tolerated tha Isbuo of notos of bo small a denomination as onu dollar, aud as tho belief appears to bo common, if uot almost universal, tint there is aolouough of gold and silver to furnish the countrv with a suillciency of currency, and that it must be supplemented with paper it must wocfiHssarily require ft great mauy years to educate the nation up to a sound aud true conception of this subject, and as for a long timo to come paper issues will probably if not most certainly constitute a very large element In the circulation of the country, tho problem for consideration will ba under what limitations, with what restrictions, on what conditions, and by whom alia.ll the issues be made.

THB EAOLE AND OURRENOY BEFOBM. Aside from a ourrenoy of coin certificates, where gold and Bllver bona Jhle, dollar for dollar, was held in Borne receptacle against each promissory noto to pay a dollar issued, which would be virtually coiu currency, possessing all tho uniformity and stability of metallic with all tho convenience of a paper medium, no plan or devloe could probably bo suggested or recommended, that would more effectually guard aud secure the oountry against the evils aud abuses iilcideut to the issuing of paper curronoy when poper is issued, as au economy, thau that recouimonded, aud so ably advooatod by tho Buooklyn Eaole. There would ba no fiduciary principle aud consequently no oconomlzatlon in the use of coiu corltli catos, for whatever gain or Interest could bo realised from tho papor Issued and circulating would be absorbed or lost in tho coin looked up. aud hold as reserves. Money is sometimes and very aptly oalled tho tool of trade, and the only souse in whloh a coin our reucy could bo regarded as au cconnmy would bo that the beBt tool is tho cheapest.

Now, iu the plan advocated by tho 15AUI.K and buBed on the assumption, which Is not much of an assumptKit after all, that our present volumegif papor, both greenbacks and banknoioa together, i "$700,000,000, 1b that ail theso issues shall be uperseded by uuother class of icsuca made by the Government Itsolf aud in and for tho benefit of the people as a wholo, or tho nations that uso it. In the plan recommended $500,000,0011 of tho issuoa aro denominated as fiduciary that is, their redaomabiltty In coin ou demand at the will of the holder is based on the faith and honor of the Government. To tniB end tbo Government is to prepare aud placo in on issuo department counooted with tho Treasury, from which all these notes shall emanate, $100,000,000 of Interest bearing bonds to bo sold or used only on tho arising of certain oontiugenules, which may or may not over arrive. In addition to this $,100,000,000 of fiduciary paper it Is proposed to Issue $200,000,000 against gold or coin hold in tho Treasury for redemption purposoa. Of course, tho interest gainodllu this $200,000,000 of paper Issued against gold Is lost in the gold looked up aud held tor redemption purposes eo long, however, as the notos nresented aboil bo loss than the $200,000,000 against which the gold is held, no necessity will arlBe to compel the Bale of tbe bouds, aud so long as these shall remain in tbe hands of the Government untouched and unused the $500,000,000 of fiduciary oirculatlou will tako the form of a voluntary and porpetuol loau without iu terest from tha people, the holders of those notes to the Government.

If the necessities or conveniences of trade should require any additional issues of papor or Government notes, THE EAOLE'S PLAN proposes that every citizen shall have tha right of demanding such notos to tbo full amount of gold coiu or bullion be may proaent for that purpose no gold reoeived in the Treasury in this way shall be permitted to leave it except as applied to tho redemption of any notes that might be presented. ThiB is, as I understand it, a brief outline of tbo plan or policy of curronoy reform so ably aud Btrougly roc ommeuded and advocated by the Eaole. Let us look now at soma of tho reasons which present thenisolvos why tho benefits and advautogoa claimed by the Eaqlu would, in all probability, bo secured to tho people and the oountry by adopting aud carrying out the polloy of curreucy reform recommended by it. Tho principle asserted by Sir Thomaa Gresliam and known as his law, that a superior and an inferior curreucy will not circulate together, tho Inferior will always drive out the superior, Is as wall established and as geuorally acquiesced iu as any other economic law or principle. This principle being admitted, how is it that so large au amount ot paper currency, without gold behind it, aud basod ou faith or bonds deposited agaiuBt it, will permanently circulate at tho samo valuo as Itself, and why will gold circulate concurrently with it? Is not this fiduciary paper an Inferior currency, aud dooB it not drive out gold If OBESHAM'S LAW is as stated, and If lt drlvoB out gold, bow can it bo truo that gold will circulate concurrently It 7 This paradox, or apparent ooutradlctloti, cau be readily explained and recouollod.

Admittiug that our country roquircB and would circnlato lu gold or coin iu the absence of jjaper issues, tha $500,000,000 fiduciary undoubtedly and unquestionably has drlvou nut or kcops out of the country an equal amount of gold ooiu, but U3 this amount is still $200,000,000 lesa than tho amount of gold that wou'd uoturally circulate lu the country, this $200,000,000 thou would ooixto III and stay In the country and circulate concurrently with tho flduolary paper; this paper at the same time would retain and maintain a value or purchasing power equal with the gold ltBolf and it ia from this peculiar feature of tho caso that tho fiduciary papor would permanently circulate and tho bouds In the Treasury would remain undisturbed in tho Treasury the $200,000,000 iBSUed against gold, although held In tbo Treasury, would virtually be $200,000,000 of gold circulating concurrently with tho $500,000,000 of puro or fiduciary paper ourrenoy. By thus limiting the fiduciary paper largely bolow tbo volunio of gold that would uaturally enter aud clr oulato in tbe country, and prohibiting auy further issues of paper unless agalust gold actually deposited, tho working of the curroncy would bo tbo samo as though It were wholly motalllc. As all private issuing would bo prohibited tho mora desire of aomo speculator to borrow money and some banker to loud It to him for the profit of it would no lougor bu nu off). ciout C0U30 to produce currency expausloua with their subsequent currency contractions a stable and honest standard for valuos for paying debla and performing contracts would ba secured, and tho country would be olosed by Mr. Furbish promising to send, within five days, evidence of the truth of bis claim to tho Haoi.e.

It was a fraud on tha produolng cIbbbob of tbe oountry, Mr. Furbish olaluied to contract tha volnmo of tho ourronoy and to double tbo volnmo of the bonded dabt. It bad been demonstrated that honest money was only honent whoa It w3 not wanted. These questions should bava been net before, and thoy wonld have been, bad tbo pooplo had an opportunity to sco What tbay certainly could see now that THE EAGLE HAD OPENED ITS OOLUUNB, It waa easy to see tbo results of tbe present financial policy. Wheat, which was worth a dollar In 1805, now sold for three, but tho capacity for producing ft bad not bean Increased, except so far aa Improvements In agricultural machinery were concerned.

Mr. Marsboll That's ft exactly; at that time ft would bavo taken tho labor of five men and ten horses to do tho work which oan ba done to doy by ouo mau and Vw'o hordes. Mr. Furbish Thero Is no bettor atoam plow in uso tewlay than there waB in 1804, in Illinois. Mr.

MarahaiJ ye but there are forty times as many. The chair Wtlt you explain why three years ago gold was at a premium, and to day a caper dollar is as good as a gold dollar? Mr. Furbish Booauao they have broken tbo law. If the law had been literally carried out thero would bavo been a groatov premium on gold to day than tboro was before the war, Arter soma furthorcaoousalon Mr. Kemp rpH4 to Mr.

Furbish Ho took issue with that gentleman as to the amount of govornmonlal obligations at tha close of tha war; and deolarod that, the real mischief was caused by tho over issuo of paper money. Mr. Kemp paid a high tribute to tha plan adopted by the Bank of England, declaring It to be tbo most signal Improvement in national commerce ever accomplished. Tho Uaht.e'8 plan would not stop bank failures, but it would prevent an abuse of papor money prevent 2,000 boukx from Issuing notesenougb to DBrVE THE GOLD FBOM THB OOONTBTf. It was absurd to tbink of flat money as a atandard of valuo tho standard must be an article produced by industry.

Metallic monoy only would rpgulato itself, the proclouB motala aro tho money of the world. Mr. KiuKolia To bring some point to the discussion I would refer my friondB to Mr; Hunter's trip to Washington with' a million dollars belonging to tbo Dlmo Savings Bank. He was willing to go into Mr: Wiu dom's plau to virtually exchango tho six por oenle. for tbe tbroo and a half per conts.

Tho point is, that if Mr, Hunter bad gone to bis neighbor, Mr. Studwell, of the National City Bauk, and said "Hera is a million dollars' worth of bonds. I want you to go to Washington and lucrense your circulation." Mr. Utudwel! could bavo gone there and could havo come home with $000, 000 in currency and the owner of $1,000,1100 in bonds. Now, if I have $10,000 and I choose to put It into bonds, all tho intorest I got ia $350 a year.

Why Bhould a baukor bo so much bottor off than I am, so that whon be goes thero with bis $10,000 he gets that amount In bonds and $9,000 in currenov beBido 7 Every man can boo that that is unfair. Mr. Furbish (quoting from tho Kaqi.k) said it liod' formerly olalmed that it mads no difference whether the notes came from the Government or the batiks. Now it admitted that it did tuako a dlfTorunce. It bad admitted the reason of what it then, characterized as lunacy Mr.

Klnsolla I havo said that Greoubacklem lunacy. I aay that uow. I have never changed my mind in that. I am for tbe Eaolb's plau because it la NEARER TO HABD MONEY than any plan I know of. The Baulk's plan Is not altogether identical with that of the Bank of England, though it approaches it.

I propose to iBsuo $500,000,000 baBod on Government bonds, tho profits to go to the people and all beyond that to be bard money. 1 thiuk that is tho pulley of tbo poor man. Tho rich mau will take care of himself lu any kind of money you fabricate, but tbo poor man cannot do so, if tho 3ft per ceut. bonds are issued and made the basis of tho banking Bystom, withiu five years there will bu a thousand millions of paper currency iu tbo oountry, and it will uot be possible to got bock to honest mouey. I propose that we shall Issue onca tor all seven hundrod millious lire on Government bonds and two on gold.

more paper is needod, let them put up coin and got it. I don't wont tho lutorforenoc of tbe I don't want John Studwell, or some man at Washington with no more brains, to say for us what the circulation shall be. The Bauk of Englaud By torn ia, perhaps, as porfect as any existing. The trouble ia that tho note issuing has uot been divorced from tho business of hauking. The diseusBlou waa protraoted until a lato hour, and promised to be continued longer, when tho chairman reminded tbo meeting of the hour, and listened to a motion to adjourn.

New Yobk, May To the Editor oj the Brooklyn Kaflle: Hortofore 1 have regarded the expressions from tho Spread the Light Club respecting landlords and tenants as a faree or as a stupendous Joke DM when I sea froraj your coiumnB tbat of. B. Towns; Judge McCuo aud Patrick Ready are writing letters to tba embBre of or to tbat society, I begin to think that In fact thoy do regard rent ag robbery, although thar express nothing to sustain their opinions that suoh ij true. If rent is robbery thon no doubt tho members of tbo Spread tho Light Olub aro honest men.

If, on tha contrary, rout la not robbory then tbe members of tho Spread the Light club have tbe intent of robbers. We will take, then, their own argument, tbat landlords are robbers, because they get rent for their property; thoy do uot admit" of any degree of rent becauso they give a definition to It whloh Is So frequently hoard from them, viz: that nothing should be paid to the owner except enough to pay taxes) and to keep tbe premises in repair. Tbe owner Is then to receive no interest on his money invested, or in other words the tenant is to get his rent free, so far aa the Improvements to the land and mada on the land aro concerned. If I should invest tan thousand dollars in a house and lot, and It is too costly tor ma to lire in it, tbat I must lot It to some other poor fellow and exact or take notbing fiom him, but that he must pay tbo taxes to the government and keep it in repair. This then appears to bo thoir argumout and I auppoa It offers great Inducements to mo to build a bouse or oven to accumulate mouey by hard labor, as they (jt further and state "interest on money is robbery." Whon I first ascertained what their views were I wa lost In tbo metaphor of thought to Imagine that my whole oduoatiou was a follaoy.

I searched dictionaries in numbor to ascertain tbe principles of equity, to find, If possible, tbo definition of juetioe, and finally to discover, If I could, that it was just and right for man to take ton thoitsaod dollars of my money, use it and pay me nothing for it. It is needless to state that I cau find nothing to sustain such views, but do find that If one takes property from another by fore.) and payo him nothing for it, It is robbery. As tho members of tbo Spread tho Light club state, "rent is robbery," and If truo it Is their duty to stop It. As it is not truo, then they possess the Intent of robbers. O.

L. A. SWEARING O.V THE MULE. Curious Objections) Bained Against Doing So. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle I wonld like, through the Eaole, to call attention to one of ths uses and abuses of the Bibla in our courts.

Is there anything mora disgusting and repulsive to any Juror or witness than to be compelled to placo bis hand upon the filthy book called the Word of God, and after solomuly awearlnp ba expected to kiss it? If there be anything sacred in tbat "book of all books," why should it be allowed to become so polutedT There are courts In New York aud Brooklyn where tbeso books are in dally use so filthy tbat no decsnt person would tolerate them in their houses. They am not even BlbleB, for tba writer within a week has seen hands plaoed and kisses (or protended ones) giren when several looso leaves had fallen from their worn aud rotten binding. Now, while I am a firm believer in tbe aacrcd Word, I must say tbat such a sacrilegious use of It soflously impressed mo. If it be true that "cleanliness be next to godliness," give thou who aro called upon to make oath upon tha Bible a pure, clean and Godlike book to placo their bands and lips to. If tbe courts cannot and won't affurd to do it, let the Bibla Society take tha matter in band, and thus do efficient missionary work.

Certainly no one but a heathen would ever be eon verted through Buch a loathsome medium. Even if clean, adjustable cover be compelled to be plaoed upon, these books every day, by all moans do It. If you want to make infidels and scoffers, I know of no better method tban to pursuo this demoralizing custom. There Is no Bolomnlty, no aacrodness. no purity lu it.

I doubt if a person could be convicted of perjury on tbe swearing upon such a book as I have seen ubsA in oourt within a week Before I would awear upon it, I would affirm, sacred as I believe an oath to be. Should I be compollod to witness this filthy habit dally, and feel that I was doing God sorvico, I should feel almost Inclined to join Brotlior Inssrsoll's church. X. THE AMBULANCE SERVICE. I It IVoisior ibnn it need Be 7 To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I can rocolleet back when you did valuable work in abolishing ibe volunteer firo department and putting in placo of it the ordorly and well drilled department which is now such a pride to tho citizens of this city.

Now, add another ict to the many the eltl r.cns owe you for, aud earn at least the thanks of tha uudnrslKned, and I am sure only too many tblnk as I do about it. Next to our fire department, tbe amou lanco service ia the inoRt useful, for it has Bsvod many valuable llves.and should be encouraged by tho corporation: But why on earth, to save one llfo, hundreds la wagons and thousands on the sidewalks should be endangered by the unearthly bauglnj of tho bell by tha would bo doctor sitting iu the rear, I can't for the life of me understand unleHB to give him an opportunity to have mure casos to study on. I keep a Btore on Myrtle avenue, and every day I seo ladies rushing across the street with children, their faces blanched, for tha ambulunce with its racket is hoard a block off turning the corner, and fright has taken thoplaceof confldeuce. Horses are frightened ond the lives in charge andan gorod by the same frightful noise, and what good Is accomplished 1 Does tho ambulance get to its destination, sooner? Not one bit. On tbo contrary, in tbe hurry, by obliging oltizens in wagons to get out of tbe way, thsy are sure to run right In tbe way.

The ambulance and Burgeons are appreciated in tha cities as a necessity, and a mora pleasant sounding bell, with loss of the terrible uoisa now counsoted with it, will answer to give it tha right of way, aud tbe young ladies of our neighborhood will look with more admiration on the young aud aspiring doctorB than if rightaued half to death by the uoisa and excitement.

Girls who marry at 1G, evon for stato reasons, raroly make happy wives.

In fact, there ought to bo a sentiment croated against such a thing, and mon and women in royal families, as out of thorn, should work to abolish a custom that is so unjust to tho woman, however important it may be to the 'state. The Local Itepubltcan Wrangle. Because a dozen Republicans of tho Twelfth Ward sont up a oontest to tho Republican Goneral Committoe last night, that body wranglod for three hours over a variety of matters having no pertinence to tho real question at issue. Tho debate and subsequent action was significant only in the confirmation of tho faot that patronage and hope of official spoils are the paramount considerations which govern tho conduct of most of the delegates. From tho outset the contest in the committee has been bo close that fow places, adroitly paroolled out, would have turned tho scale either way.

It is not surprising, therefore, that somo of tho delegatos made a hasty endoavor to got in out of tho rain at tho first shower of the storm lately raised in Washington. The entire Greenpoint delegation, for instance, which at tho commencement of tho year were among the staunchest of the so called stalwarts, have lost no time iu trimming their sails to catch what they think is a favorable breozo and even in the Eleventh Ward, a presumably ironclad combination of Coukling men are boginning to waver. It is clearly apparent that if the President succoeds in his endoavor to humiliate Mr. Conkling the stalwart majority in the committee will vanish as quickly and mystor iously as tho doparting witohes who stirred the apprehensive soul of Macbeth, while if the Senator can hold his own they will probably stand together throughout the year. Under the new bylaws, unless a special meeting is oalled, the committee will not meet again until the Autumn a fact that will afford relief to tho self respecting Republicans of the oity, who have become thoroughly weariod by the antics of the committeemen.

For four months the delegates, ot whom nearly one half are officeholders, havo wranglod like fishwives with tho sole purpose of gaining or retaining for professional politicians the control of the public business. It is rarely that there has beon suoh a wild scramble for place since tho office seekers worried "Old Tippecanoe" to his death. And yet, with all their meetings, thoy have not rocommeuded or sustained a single measure in the public interest and if they should go on forever, they would probably never think of doing anything that savorod of aught but political wirepulling. There Is possibility that tho non professional Republicans will have a rest during the Summer, unless Mr. Daggett Bhould return with his pockets fillod with loaves aud fishes and celebrate his arrival with a demonstration by a body which appears always ready to applaud the hand that dispenses political aud official favors most froely.

If the Democratic Central Association wero doing no other good work than to foster the discussion of public questions, it would be entitled to approbation at the hands of intelligent men, for whilo Demooratio intelligence has retnainod unimpaired, the so called Democratic management we have had in this county for years past has doadoned the disposition on the part of Demoorats to meet from time to timo the yoar round for the exchange of their views. A proper organization will deem it among tho most important of its duties to stimulate this In thiB way the party interests are in a true senso advanced, tho party made beneficial to the county nnd an enlightenment diffused which dignifies elections by making them a means of ascertaining the will of an educated peoplo rather than tho effoct which tricksters havo produced by sophistry or bribes upon the pas sions of an unreflecting multitude. The ad dress delivered by Mr. Mead last night on tho currency question was an excellent example of tho sound and painstaking thought which will show itsolf in tho Democratic party if tho proper encouragement be given for it to manifest itself. Whether the predictions of the soothsayers or the strange vagaries of the weather aro responsible "for the numbor of suicides which havo been reported of late, it is not easy to toll, but undoubtedly some malign influence has boeu at work to weary Americans of life.

Wtthin the past two weeks the number of men of more than average intelligence and standing who havo voluntarily exchanged the responsibilities of this life for ono they kuow not of has been very large, and Brooklyn has not escaped the epidemic. In one of our esteemed contemporaries this morning reference is made to no fewer than five cases of felo de He. The popular superstition that in sanity is the sole provocative of self destruction seems to have been refuted in almost every instance within the time notod, unless indeed, norvous irritability, arising from a disarrangement of tho digestive organs oan be so aocouuted. The severity of tho past Winter and the sudden plunge from an Arotio to an Iudian temporature, has shown the effects of climate in an epidemic of light malarial symptoms it is not improbable that acuto cases have resulted occasionally in self destruction. If thero Is not, as Huxley claims thorc is, a physical basis of life, there seems to bo at least a physical cause for the moral unhinging which makes suicide possible and popular.

Royal brides soem to be very human young ladies, if their behavior at the marriage ceremony is to be accepted as an index of character. Tho Princess Stephanie, aocording to the faithful and fastidious Chronicle); "won all hearts by her ingenuous and simple manner," which probably includod her giving way to her feelings in a burst of tears, as the cable tells us she did. This seems to bo natural and bridelike, and nobody would think of the ceremony as unlike any ordinary marriage service in Brooklyn, but for the fact that the "noble ladies in atten "dance" shed tears also. Stipendiary mourners At a funoral aro sanctioned by English custom, but the presence of noble ladies at a wedding cngagod to echo tho hysteric sobs of the bride is a new "caper "which American society must not neglect, and, probably, will not. The condition imposed by a bon pert in French opera that boforo two loving hearts are united the groom in prospect must submit to him a pie, a l'Agamomnon promises to have its counterpart in tho social ordinance that before a wodding knot is properly tied tho bride must weep a la Stephanie solo and chorus.

The Masonio fraternity of Gallipolis, in tho favored Stato of Ohio, are busily engaged nights watching the corpse of one of their deceased brethren. It appears that, one night when business with the'goat occupied thoir attention to the oxolusion of mere practical matters somebody invadod the grave of the de funot and carried away his head. The tologram which conveys this cheering information adds that the departod brother had left a will, and with it a oontest on the ground that he was insane. Tho Masons of Gallipolis, by'their interest in the rest of the body, seem to indicate that under the clroumstances the removal of the head is not a matter of muchconsequenoe after all. Two men met in an alley late one night.

"Who's that inquired one. The other answered "Ha, hal I know you.

Betwean the Eepublioan Faotiona in the General Committee, A Strufrfflo Between the Conkling nnd Aduitaisti ation Men Over a Ward Con test The Greenpoint Delegates go Over to Dajfjrett Jn a Body A Break in tbe Eleventh Ward An Am usinar Speech from Mr. Curtis and an Encounter with a Wasp The Conklingr Men' Carry Their Point by a Tory Narrow Majority. The factions in the Republican General Committee measured voices and votes again last night at tho May mooting of tbe organization in Central Hall ou Fulton atreet, noar Hudson avenue. There was a vory large attendanoo of delegates and spectators, notwithstanding that tbe atmospbero in the ball was sultry and oppressive.

Mr. John A. Nichols, the president, ocoupied tbe chair, and Bocretarios Cheshire and Woodhead recorded. The old strugKlo botween tho Administration and Conkling wiaga of tbe committoe waa renowod by a proposition to appoint a committeo to consider a contest sent up by the Coukling ltopubll cans of tho Twelfth Ward against the continued nomination of James Johnson, a Custom House oflloer and oooot Mr. Vaggtll'a lieutenants, wbo "runs" tbe ward.

Tho Conkling men carried tba day, although, by tho desertion of tho Seventeenth Ward dolegatlon and break iu tho Eleventh Ward, thoir majority was so narrow that two votes would have turned it Into a defeat. On motion of Mr. Dady, of tbo Fourth Ward, tho reading of tha minutos of tbe last meeting was dispensed with. It was announced tbat James Coerof bad withdrawn from tba Kighth Ward delegation and Joshua Gamblo was substituted in his place. The resignation of Itobort Anderson, a delogato from tbe Twentieth Ward, was alBO prosouted aud the Hon.

Win. W. Goodrich was substituted in blB place. Tbe announcement was made tbat the treasurer of tho committeo had received up to date 1,360 for tbo dues of members. Of this amount $675.40 bad boon oxpended, loaving a balanoo In the treasury of $084.60.

MB. CURTIS INQUIIilNQ. Mr. William H. Curtis, of tho Thirteenth Ward if auy report had boon received from the Executive Committeo.

Tbo chairman replied that tba Exeoutlve Oommlttoa bad not boon heard from. Mr. Curtis asked it he was to understand tho Executive Committee bad not yet been organizod. Tba chairman said bo had made no bucu' statement. Ho merely said no report bad been received.

Mr. CtirtiB Bald he hadn't tbe slightest doubt that thoy might adjourn last evening until the Fall, If tba Exocutive had been organized it should have boeu heard from. Several Important protests bad beon referred to tbat committee, and before tbey adjourned and entered the Fa'l campaign they should bear the reports and bavo those matters settled so tbat when they met again it would be to oarry the olty and oounty. He hoped tho Executive Committee in their magnanimity would leave nothing undone tbat should be done. Ha know thero wero oome important protests before tba Executive Committee, and be wanted to know when (lu patience sake," tbey would report upon them.

In justico to tho Republicans of Kings Oouuty, Mr. Curtis said the Goueral Committoe should hear from tha Exeoutlvo Committeo. THE OLD TWELFTH WARD. General William DoLaoy, of the Third Ward, pra seuted a contest from certain Itopubiicans of the Twelfth Ward, and moved tbat a npeolul committee of thrco bo appointed by the chair to investigate it. The document was follows BnooKi.ra, March 14, 1881.

To the Kings County Republican Qcmro.1 Committee: Okntijimkn Tba uudorelgncd, Republicans of tbo Twelfth Ward, contest the right to seats of the sitting delegate from that ward, to the Republican General Committeo. Tbe contestants aro preparod to prove that the ward association has been so conducted for tbe past two years that a fair expression of Republican opinion, as to officers aud dolegatoa, oould not bo bad at the last primary election. That tba most active Republicans of tbe ward association bavo been oxpolled for no causo, but tbat their place on tha Investigating Committeo and otberoQlcca, oould bo filled by partisauB of tho individual now controlling the association. The contestants further state, tbat by the 'aid of and by tbe placing of names on tho roll book without authority, eaid expulsions were accoru pllRhod, and notwithstanding roquont appealB for tbe past two years, to tho General Committee, a hearing could not be obtatneoV such appeals being treated derisively by tboBa controlling tho committee. Tbat whon said expulsions were accomplished James Johnson was a membor of tho Goneral Committee and third inspector, bis aon and nephew wera inspectors of primaries, ba had possession of the rolls aud miuuta bookB and bad said bookB alBificd bo that bo oould control the ward association.

That had Republicans boon allowed to vote nt tbo last primary tbo ticket hereto attached would have been elected. Tho undersigned tborefore pray that tbo General Committeo will Investigate tho foregoing charges and that thoy will take auch action iu tbo matter sb may be dcomod most advisabla and for tho bost interests of tho Republican party. Sinned by Bamurl TiioiirHOK and fiftocn others. Secretary Cheshire read a portion of tho document, but beforo be was half through Mr. Hubbard Homlrick ou, of the Fifteenth Ward, movod that inasmuch as tho apor went beyond tbe limits of a protest and hocaino Wsonal, that tho readlug cease.

Ho said it might go Po a committoe but ought not to be road. 1 The sooretury ooasod reading tbe papers. MB. HOBBS OBJECTS. Mr.

K. H. Hobbs, of tho Twenty fourth Word, to whom the leadership of the Daggett forces has fallen Bince Mr. Daggett went to Washington, made tho point of ordor tbat the paper, in so far as It purported to be a ooutost, could not bo received at tbe prosent stage of the committee's proceedings. Such a dooumont could only bo received at the meeting when tho oommlttee was organizod.

It was now clearly out of ordor. Tho delegates from the Twelfth Ward were recognizod aa tho representatives of that ward, and wero entitled to the seats they occupied. The paper purported to be a protest, but ita contents wero rather a oontest than a protest. The chairman said be would have to dooide tba point of order against the gentleman from the Twenty fourth, as it had been up before. Mr.

John H. Jeffera, of the Ninoteeuth Ward, movod tbat the whole matter lie on the table, and upon this tho uyes aud nays wore ordered. Mr. P. W.

Ostrandor, of tbe Sevouth Ward, explained blB vote by saying tbat auy ward which proposed pure politics could afford to have ita affairs investigated. Auy ward that skd for an investigation should bava it. He would therefore vole against the motion to lay on tbe table. Mr. E.

R. Kennaday, of the Seventh Ward, in explaining his vote, said it seemed to bim a lata day to present a contest of au election bald last Fall, and ho hoped there was some reason for it that bo had not heard. He had no sympathy either with or against the document, but Inasmuch as be believed any Republicans who asked for it should bo given an opportunity to state their grievances, bo votod no. Mr. Isaao Lawrence, of the Flftoenth Ward, explained tbat bo agreed wltb tbie gentleman from tbe Seventh, when be said that it was a lato day for parties to bring iu a contest.

During the past fow years thora had boon the natural inorcase in tho Republican vote of the ward, aud be believed it was as well managed as it could be. It appeared to bim tbat the parties controlling the General Committee wore In favor of getting out as many of their opponents as tbey could whilo they had the power. He announoed his intention of voting for tho.motion. Colonel Lewis R. Stegtiisn, of tha Nineteenth Ward, in oxplaiuing his vote iu tho afHrniatlvo, said ha would vote Mo, because ho thought it was too late to bring iu a contest Tbe roll call was listened to with careful attention, and when Benjamin EsteB, of the Ninth Ward, John Christman, of tba Eleventh Ward delegation, and tba entire Seventeenth Ward delegation, uudor tha lead of ex Polioa Commmissloner Jensen, voted with tho Daggett man in tbo affirmative, there was loud applause from tho Administration men.

Mr. Jcfi'ers' motion to lay on tha table was lost by a vote of SO to 60, Tho vote in detail was as follows A TEST VOTE.

The announcement of tho vote was loudly applauded on tba Conkling side. Mr. E. H.

Hobbs took the floor and eombatted the motion of General DeLaoy for tha appointment of a oommlttee. He said that on its merits it ought not to pass. Ho always believed it was poor policy to sand a sub committee into a ward. Tba majority, he charged, desired to get rid of tbe minority as Boon aa possible. Tbe speaker said ha had belonged to tbe majority of tbe committeo and expected to soon be in tho majority again, and no majority had over been unfair enough to do what was proposed by the movers of the resolution.

Mr. Ostrander advocated tha adoption ot the resolution aud denied that any one proposed to turn dalogatss put wbo were entitled to their seats. Mr. Benjamin Estes opposed tha resolution on the ground that the oontest should have been brought in before Instead of being delayed for six or seven months. FUN WITH MB.

OUBTie. Mr, Curtis, who la considered tba humorist of tho committeo, next took tha floor In apposition to General DoLaoy'a resolution. Ho. spoke with great solemnity and earnestness at tba outset. "The Garfield man in thla oommlttee," said Mr.

Curtis, "are aa stalwart to night aa wo were tha night we started. Applause. If this thing is to be dona to hold up a brokou down majority, then lot them say bo and we're with them, Laughter. Mr. Chairman, you know tho supposed majority of thla General Committoe are beginning to weaken.

They are beginning to weaken to day beeause James A. Garfield Is President of tho United States. Cheers from tha Administration aide'. I respect and esteem. New York's favorite Bon, Boscoe Conkling loud cheora on the Conkling sldo), and if I had the casting ballot in.

Let the majority show thoir hands and I say they do a small thing whan they oppose tha man whose portrait hangs thora. Pointing toa portrait of Garfield over tbo platform. Now, Mr. Ohaiiman, tho Great Arcbltaot above didn't give aa nreat abllltiea as Senator Conkllug has got laughter? but Ha did His best At this point tho attention of Mr.

CurtiB, who had become greatly excited, was fixed on AN enormods WAsr, whioh had baan waf tad through one of tha windows on the night air. The wasp bussed about Mr. Curtis for 'a time, and, although he mads earnest efforts to dodge it, tbo lusaot alighted on his eyobrow and roosted there, for at least two seconds. Then Mr. Curtis suspended but speech long enough to brush his tormentor off and It went buzzing away toward Colousl Stegman amid tha uproarious laughtor ot the orowd, caused both by Mr.

Curtis' combat with bis winged persecutor and his trlbute'to tho architectural abilities of the Almighty. "Whon Jamas A. Garfield," continued Mr. Curtis, after tba excitement had lulled, "gosa back on bis pledges to tha country, then William H. Curtla, tbe only delegate from tbe Thirteenth Ward whose seat is not protested, Will denounce him aa a traitor.

Laughter. As it Is, wo are standing by him Now, gentlemen, be a little magnanimous, and It you aro bo hard up for a majority I don't know but you might oonvort me, providing you approached ma 'on the Laughter. Mr. L. H.

Weaver, of. tho Twelfth Ward, protested against the adoption of the motion of General De Laoy. Ilo said tbe contest was signed by parsons wbo wore not. momusis or tuo wara association, anu that tnero wore MAN? pOflOED NAMES upon it. Ho said the committee might oust the sitting delegation if they chose, but tbat tbey would ba seut baok as often as tbey wore ousted, beoausu tbay ropra aontad tho great Rapublloan party or tbo Twelf tb Ward.

Goner! aa ho gugbt Droner to explain Mr. eorge IVffel DiecussinGf It. An IiitorcslSjnsr Mooting of tho Contral Democratic Association Wobatins the Financial Policy Advocated by tho Basle Messrs. Furbish, Kemp, Burlon, Marshall and Kiusella Participating' in tho Discussion. The meeting of tho Central Democratio Association held in Jeflforson Hall last oroniug was one of unusual intorcBt.

Its ohlof featuro was an address on tho ourrenoy by Mr. George Mead, who spoke for an hour and a half and was listened to with marked attontlon throughout. Tho chair was ocoupiod by Horatio C. King, wlie olloa the meeting to oriler at 8 o'clock, and without further coreuaouy introduced Mr. Muad.

That gentleman spoia as follows MR'. MEAD'S ADDBE8S. Mr, Mead began tola addreBS by Bpeaking of tho importance of tho ourrenoy question, and of tho ability with whioh the Brookltm Eaoi.ii had for some months past broncht the subject to public attentlou. After quoting from the woritB of M. Say, Adam Smith and Aloxander Hamilton passagea denning the uuctlons of papor ourrenoy and tho laws which regulate the move iuont of coin between nations, ho proceodod as follows Before proceeding any further in an examination or discussion of the currency question I propose to forin ulato three Buch primary truths or first principles, which aro easeutial to au intelligent discussion ot this subject, truths of which, ob it Beems to mo, cutitle them to ba regarded as axiomatic If we cau agree to regard them as such, or ai least as established principles, wo may eonfldently anticipate roaching something like intolllgont and satisfactory couclueions in regard to the main Inane First All oominodlllos or any commodity will increase in valuo with decrease iu quantity, or will decrease in value with increase in quantity, all other things being equal.

Oold and Bllver coin, or bullion, ia uo exception tu the rule, Secoml Iu tho absence of any obstaola or iutorfer ouoo to arrest the natural tendency of things, commodities will always gravitate or bo attracted from low to high yaIuos, uud gold and silver aro no exception to the 1 Third Whenover either of two commodities will eub serro some of tho priucipnl uses or purpnsos of the other an Increase ordacrease iu the quantity of either of those commodltiOR will correspondingly decrease or increase the value of the othor. THE FUNCTIONS 01' 8PE0IK AND PAPEB AS GUH BKNOY. Under the first proposition, I assert that tho gold and Bllror of tho world uot only are eumciont for carrying on the exchanges of the world, but that were ono half the stock oxlatlug la the world annihilated the lu orsasod rnlue that that circumstance would give to what remained would make it as effective and give It the same power in tho nxohangos as the wholo of it possessed beforo. Of course, in this supposed case no ao oount is taken of tho galus or losses, or tho benefits or Injuries that would arlBo as between debtors aud creditors. Under tho second proposition I assert that every country would have its distributive share of the world's stock or supply all that its commerce and exchanges required, aud that nothing but the toleration and use of somu inferior medium, or some other artinoial barrier or obstacle, could keep it from them.

Under the third proposition, I assert that as papor can perform oue of the Important uuctions or ollices of gold coiu, that is, tho currency unction, that paper currency when allowed to enter into the circulation cheapens or lesseuB the valuo or nurehasing power of gold aud drlvoa it out of the oountry through the foreign exchanges. Every papor or ourrenoy dollar whioh circulates with the samo valuo as a metallic dollar has either driven a metallic dollar from the circulation or its presence proventa a metallic dollar from entering into the circulation. There arc two concolvablo oxtremes, cither of which would unlit Bold aud silver for monutary purposes. They might be so abundant aud cheap as to make tha coins or' pieces so oumberdouio and heavy as to unlit them for ilrculaliiin, or they might be so scarce and dear for ordinary purposes as to make them so dimln utivo or inicroscopio as to unfit them for use iu that direction. But between these two extremes there are many points whore convenience would bo socurod, but to object iu the samo breRtti that there is uot gold and silver enough in the world to giro it a currency, and that the money would bo so bulky and heavy as to unfit it for circulation and handling bIiows an utter miscon aeption of tho subject, tha one extreme rendering the other completely nugatory.

Neither would the ciromustauce tUat one country hitd gold and silver mines while the other had nono place the latter at any disadvantage in this rospect. Tho normal disadvantage under wlilch the former would be placed 1b that thoir priaoa would range above the level of the other, aud the balance of trade or exchanges would generally be in favor of tho lattitr, aud gold aud silver would naturally flow from tho country having those mines into the other. Hero the speaker proceeded to consider tha reasona adduced for using paper an a substitute for coin. After referring to Adam Smith's dictum that by substltu. ting papor in the placo or gold and silver money a vory expeusivo instrument of commerce is replaced by ono much loss costly and in many casos equally convenient" he said Weret'old and silver the only material used for currency purposos, thou the volume and supply of cur rouuy must necessarily ba determined aud fixed by the world's supply aud the laws that govern its distribution but when paper 1b the matorial used tho supply of material for fabricating, currency is practically un imlted, aud artlilcial regulations then become a necessity for regulating tho volume aud supply, or as Lord Ovorstouo states it, "A inetallio currency in virtue of its own intrinsio valuo will nlwayB regulate itsolf, but a papor curroncy as it has no intrinsic value reqniroB to bo subjected to some artificial regulation that shall fix or limit its amount." THB RELATIVE ECONOMY AND CONVENIENCE OF PAl'EK AND COIN CUBIIENCY.

Now the onlv two obicctionn to the uso of a curroncy entitled to a reHpectful consideration, are tha expense and iucouvouleuca of its uso. The objection that there Is uot enough of it iu the world to supply us with a currency 1b mere puerility aud nonsense. Let us consider now in their order tho two sensible objections urgod against a motalllo currency, first tho expense of it and next its incouvenieuce. To illustrate our point let us suppose that our country required and that its distributive share of the world's supply of inonoy was Beven hundred and fifty millions; as our population numbers fifty millions, this would be $15 per capita. Suppose now wo should economize tho whole of it through the use ot paper, and this paper should be Issued with so much prudence, moderation and skill, that at no time the volume of paper should exceed the volume of metallo ourrenoy that would naturally circulate and bo maintain our prices at a level with the rest of the world bow muoh would be gained or saved by it? Tha interest on $15 at 1 por is CO cents per year per capita this would be carrying the economy to ita Tory utmost limits.

Would it be a wiae policy on the part of tha nation for the sake of this paltry sum to take the risks aud chances of tha losses and Bufferings iuoident to the abuses of paper issuing 7 Let ub supposo now that instead of oarrylng the economy to the extent intimated above we should con flue tho issues of paper to this would leave room for of coiu to come or stay In the coiflilry aud circulate with it, but that would cut down the eoonomy from GO to 40 cents per capita. Would it bo wise to do that 7 It ia all well eqgugb. to talk about the economy of paper over a metallc currency, but whlla wo are about It we mar as well try to obtain somo conoreto conception of the thing we are talking about, otherwise we are apt to place too extravagant an an estimate on It. So muoh for the economy argument. No let us ex ftmlno tbe conveulence aspect of the question We must bear in mind that the great mass, the immense majority of the people, are included in what are commonly called the laboring or wage receiving classes.

Should we travel from tho Canada border to tha Gulf of Mexico, or from the Atlantio to the Paciflo Beauolrd, how many we find tjiat would bo Incouveulontly burdened to cart? thoir dally or woekly or even monthly wages home with them, or to make their purohases at the stores aud markets eveu In silver itself, to say nothing ef gold 7 Probably not a ingle mother's son among them, ILLUSTRATED. Let us turn now from our retail dealings and tbe Btualler transactions of trade, to our wholesalo commerce aud the larger transactions of business: In an address on resumption, delivored bofore tho American Bankers' Association, on the 7th of August, 1879, by Qeorge 8. Coe, President of the American Exchange National Eauk, he said "Having tbns shown tho operation of currency for international trade, let us make another illustration for the home market The other day, with tbe prosident of this association, I went Into tha New York Clearing House, and while there tha morning exchanges between bank's were going on. Wo saw pass through the hands of the bank messengers, within the space of about ten minutes, plecoB of paper oalled bank ohecka, representing $87,000,000. These $87,000,000 what were thoy 7 The exchange of industrial property and things, which had occurred in tho City of New York, through all the banks the day before.

There was not dollar of uouej to bo seen in all this, but after those exchanges were made up, there, appeared to be two classes of banks one a creditor class, which had given more property than thty had received, aud the other was a debtor olaes which had given less, and the difference between those two classes was som9 five millions of dollars, which sum bad subsequently to be paid in money That was all tbe money needed fur that great transaction. Let us ponder this statement i little Waa that five millions in reality all the money that was used and circulated to transfer the ownership to eighty Beven million dollars' worth of property 7 If that ware so, than but tha one seventeenth part in tha amount of checks drawn had any deposits in banks behind them. Can It be that the Danxs wouiu nave received ana sent to tne clearing house, ebocks drawn to so large an extent by individuals whq had no deposits in the banks against whioh they drew these checks Not much, indeed If now, there were deposits in the banks against which these checks were drawn, then there were eighty seven millions of dollars used, instead of fire millions, as asserted, and by transferring on tha books ot tha bank tha credits Inscribed there from the drawers of tha checks to those who deposited thBm, whish must have been done, then the money, the eighty seven millions of dollars must have been used and ciroulated by passing from one set of owners to the other, even if thoir locality had not been changed to tha extent of an inch. Now the point I wish to make uat here 1b this Had all the greenbacks and bank notos against which the cheoke were drawn, and but for which they would not have been reoeived and honored, been deposits of silver and gold coins, the checks drawn against thorn would not have been any heavier to carry or mora inconvenient to handle and count thin if drawn against paper. So that even in our wholesale commerce aud in large business transactions tha convenience argument in favor of paper and against gold is, to a very largo extant, illusory and false.

This oloarlng house arrangement does not superoede the necessity for the of money or ourronoy in tha sales and purchases of tho community, but 1ft supercedes the necessity of tho banks being at tha expanse and trouble of employing a boat of clerks and porters to draw and "tote" the eash lying In tha bankB from the one to the othor. Here the' speaker quoted strong passages from Me Cullooli and Anissa Walker as to the lnfluonco of gold and sliver on the commerce of a nation, sueh as that tbe Almighty propsrsd thoBe metals for that very purpose," and that tbay are the llfeblood of healthful commercial processes. Continuing he said Constitutionally, this Government of ours la a hard money government. Our Constitution is a hard money constitution. It was made by hard money men, who had felt aud had therefore duly appreciated the evils of a paper medium, and had as they supposed guardsd their puaterlty against tha ovlls and mjustloa of a paper ourrenoy.

Had the Government been faithful to its trust and discharged the duties Intrusted to it, the monstrous evil of paper money would never hare been fastened on the oountry. Moat unfortunately for us, this has not beon done. We nnd ourselvca where we are with this paper vampire fastened upon us whloh almost from the first has been suoklng out the vitals of the national prosperity. HOW TDK OOVMtNMEHI LOST OONTBOL OS TttS OUBBENOX. Had the General Government been faithful to (ta trust, resisted all usurpations aud intermeddlinss of any authority outside of ttself over a power exclusively delegated to it, protected tha ourrenoy from debasement, and secured for the use of the oountry the gold and silver ourrenoy wblok the Constitution provided and Intended, oar ourrenoy then would have bean tha ourrenoy designed by an all wiae and beneficent Provl deuce, whloh the ordinances of nature, or in other words, the laws of trado would bare regulated for us, which' would hav guarded and exempted tha oountry from untold losses and sufferings, and whloh would continue 'to Uo unless we should ooDsont to play the fool again, discard this rich and beneficent patrimony of nature, and try to make something out of nothing by oroatlng money or ourrancy from paper.

Previous to tha war the General Government appear! almost entirely to have abdloated its right of oontrol ovor the ourrenoy of the nation, and turned It over to the banks of The country acting under Stata laws. Since that timo tha Government has in part resumed Ita constitutional authority, aud shared with the bank now oxlatlug by Its authority the prerogative of striking and issuing tha ourrancy of use, to that we now havo a mixed mass ot public and private notes, groonbsoks and bank notes in nearly egual proportions; from the vary nature of tha case the right of Issuing aud regulating tha oountry1 currency oaanet bo divided right, Hfl fooajr OJ Utf WEDNESDAY EVEJiKG.

Iu value an an Adrertlkiufr Medium 1 Ihoxcioxe parent. The nattered Prcaldcucv. Contrary to general expectation the Republican senatorial caucus hns not released its members from their plfldge uot to consider iu exocutive session any uoniimitioua tlint are objected by the two senntors from any State. For the present, nt least, tliis loaves Mr. Conkling master of tho sitnatiou.

While tha published accounts of what was done iu caucus. yeRterdiiy ore somewhat foRgy, it ia greed to by all tin? eorreBpondnts that tho action desired by the President was not taken. Furthor efforts are to be inado by most of the senators to offect an nmicablo settlomeut, though it needs a very livMy imagination to conceive how ovcu au appearance of coiuprouiioo is to be arrived at. If llobertson be continued, Sir. Conk ling "eats the leek'' and no mistake.

If Robertson bo withdrawn, Mr. Garfield re tires from the arena with his tail feathers in the worst possible condition. The question, us formulated a fw days ago, was this Who is President, Coukling or Garfield? Tho failure to get Kobertsou confirmed will not show that Conklins is President, but it will satisfy most people that Mr. Garfield has been shorn of tho powers of the office. In the meantime it is noticeable that in Washington, as well a3 throughout the country, there is a growing (Imposition to inquire whether Mr.

Garfield has not. by his conduct, deprived himself of tho right to stand upon the dignity of his office. The familiar proverb as to tho im Doewibility of having vour cake after you hove eiiten it tipplios to presidents qnno as wen to children. If he bartered away the prosi duutial prerogative bofore he was olectcd, and in ordor to get elected, he cannot now by any lofty talk induce people familiar with the transaction to deal with him as if he had honorably conserved it. The only effect of awol ling phraseology about the existing controversy is to show that th man who was not above promising offices as a reward for campaign services ia not above adding hypocrisy to a breach of faith.

The Republican senators are not likely to sustain Mr. Conkllug in any arrogant assumption to impose conditions upon tho Executive, but they exhibit ft natural reluctance to letting Mr. Garfield prosper by a. system of double dealing which if encouraged may result to their own disadvantage. They also perceive that no very great profit cau be reaped from assailing Coukling by such means.

'While he and his friends may lose the offices, Mr. Garfield and his allies will pretty effectively provide for the early closing of their own oareors, if it appears that the only difference between Conkling and Garfield is that the ono kept his engagements and the othor did not. In this relation a story of considerable in terest is told this morning by a correspondent of the iYYio York Herald, who has evidently I either been instructed as to several matters, by Senator Coukling or some person very near to him. It will be remembered that for timo matters in the Presidential campaign went from bad to worse with the Kepublicans. Coukling took no interest iu the tight.

Grant was wholly taken up with projects for tho improvement of Mexico, or the cutting of a canal at Panama. Donald Cameron's health was painfully poor and Logan, for the first time in his life, was taken down with nn affection of the lungs. In short, from one end of the line to the other, the stalwarts wore doing nothing for "the cause." In this pass it became necessary for Mr. Garfield to put all theories of dignity under his feet, if he wished to enter White House. No matte upon what terms, it was all important for him to secure the assistance of Coukling nnd his friends.

To this end a political council was called in New York aud Garfield came all the way from Mentor to shape its action. But Coukling was obdurate. He declined to attend. Indeed, jib if to make it niuin that ho held Mr. Garfield in contempt.

he came from Utica to New York City and departed again without deigning to call upon the Presidential candidate. Finding that the senator was not to be reached directly, Mr. Garfield resorted to indirection. He bit upon Mr. Levi P.

Morton as the gentleman upon whom, with modifying effect, honors could be bestowed. This part of the story we shall let tho Herald correspondent tell in his own way Among the plans for Improving the situation was one BURKeatod by General Garfield himself. It recommended that Mr. Levi P. Morton, of New York, should be warmly enlisted in a financial way that he should act as cbairuiun of tho i'lnanoe Coiuniittee, subscribe liberally himself, of course, and collect as much money as possible to defray tho eipeDsea of tho electors.

A committee wa appointed to wait on Mr. Morton and inform him of the xreat honor It had boeu proposed to thrust upon hlui. Mr. Morton was profoundly grateful, but at the same time begged to be the responsibility was too great, bis time aud Dusiuess encasements of too much Importance to liliu to per ait him to accept. Iu some mysterious way.

however, Mr. Morton aud Gonarai Garfield were brought together and another conference held, at which there were present beside the two gentlemen Indicated several prominent member of tbo Republican party, who.if it shall become necessary, will be quoted In proof of the accuracy of my accouut of what took place. As an Inducement to Mr. Morton to undertake the labor of raising money for the campaign General then aud there offered hiuj in the event of his election hie oholce of one of four places as follows First The Secretary of the Treasury. Second The headship of tbe new syndicate then contemplated for refunding the dobt.

Third The liniish niirsion. or Fourth Tbe French mission, if he preferred that. This, it will be allowed, was getting the Presidency down to a business basis with a ven geuuoo. Assuming this much to be true, it will, we think, bo admitted that Mr. Garfield is not just the man to indulge in tall talk about the dignity of his office.

Morton, however, was coy. He knew that nothing would be lost by standing off, so we find that the Secretaryship was followed up with further offers, which covered tho patronage of the entire State. Iu other words, Morton was bought in with an honor for himself and then used to convey Garfield's terms of surrender to Coukling. On this point tho language used by tho Herald's correspondent cannot be otherwise oonstrnod than as implying a readiness on Mr. Conkling's part, if need be, to show that Garfield made a written agreement.

Tho next question considered was tbe distribution of the patronage of New York, aud tbe promiso was given by General Garfield lb an equally clear and emphatic way that In the event of bis election the wlsliea of the State organization in all the appointments should be fully consulted and that their advice and recommendations should govern him in all that be did. That there may be no mistake about what Is meant by tbe State organisation, let me say that it was understood to mean, primarily, the two United States Henators and the Stale Committee. A memorandum of thet agreements was made at the time aud other memoranda In tbe snaps of the recollections by those who were prenjnt of what was said aud done am prepared to produce If It shall be found ueeoHisry to do so to substantiate the accuracy of my statements. Since there is no reason whatever for imagining that a statement 60 extraordinary as thiB would be published by the Herald if the editors did not have proof of its truth, we are bound to believe that, in writing, by bond, by contract, so to speak, James A. Garfield made over the patronage of this State aud the chief eeat fu the Cabinet to Mr.

Coukliug aud, his political friends in exchange fortheir influence in the Presidential campaign. After this tho "stalwarts" put on their armor, aud from one end of the country to the otherdid battle for Mr. Garfield. They accepted the bribe, and tho man who offerred it came in due time to the White House. We do not see how the disgrace of all this can, by any comment, bo made clear to a person who is not moved by the simple narrative.

Iu the annals of Presidential struggles there is no companion piece to this political prostitution. By way of contrast to this tho Herald tells of how General Hancock received certain Democratic politicians who tried to get pledges of a much milder kind from him: Instead of offering to auction them off at so much in consideration of money for the campaign fund, General 'Hanoock replied, substantially 'No, gen 'tlomon I cannot do what you ask. I cn pledge myself to you. I have been 'nominated for the highest office in the 'gift of tha country, nnd if I am elected I must go into it free aud untramineled. I 'oan make no It was eminently characteristic of Mr.

Gnr fiold, after having made tins engagement, to make a tour of tho country and stop atoll the camp meetings and Sunday sohool conventions by the way, to raako pious speeches full of sound about Christianity, and spangled with olap trap refereno to tbe great prinofc. plos which ho had just done his best to of non effect in the govoramont of our country. What has transpired since the election if familiar, and is mado thoroughly un daretaudabla by this revelation of true I 1 Tho l'residout roiiliod ho did not that ho had been considering Dint niattor and had arrived at the eon eliiKiou that tha hiibt thlilff tu do ya to allow the prea out otllcers to remain that Rome of thorn, ho under stood, had a year jot to sorve, and porhapa It gavo mm satisfaetlnu to allow theso luon to eervo out their time. Kouator Cmikliiitf answered he was mistaken, that aomo of tbnu.ha.il two yoars. The President prof08od iRnor anco of that fact; at all events he did not iuteud to do anything with the Cutoui House at preont and when he did resolve to do so ho would let hlui know and consult with him, Mr.

Cornell, Vice President Arthur, Senator Piatt aud tho other gentleman who were entitled to be heard' on thr subject in tbo State of New York. Us doclarod further that bu thought President Hayes had made a great niislako in the policy he had pursued iu entago ntjiiui? oue wiiiif of tho party that blunder he proposed to avoid. This ended tha oonfereuce with Mr. Oouk liuu, who immediately procooded to coubuU with his friends and draw up tho projet lor the Executive. Three days after this agreement had been arrived at, aud without the exchange of another word, Kobertsou waB nominated for tho eolloetorsliip.

iJluino, it appears, upon learning of the arrangement, dcinauded tho immediate nomination of llobcrtson, threatening to resign, if it wero not done. The Presideut submitted to Blaine and broke his promiso to the New York Senator, to whoso exertions ho in so largo a measure owed his election. Taking the story as a wholo, wo have Mr. Garfield revealed as a trickster, who begun by prostituting the Presidency while ho was yet a candidate for it who has grossly betrayed those who put thoir trust iu him, and who, whilo posing bofore the country as a particularly pious statesmen, is in private the tool of the only considerable leaaur wuo sits in ms council uu. xuo mii, is President apparently, but whether Mr.

Garfield, acting as the tool of Mr. Blaine, shall violate the bargain with Conkling, mado prior to the election, and because of which the llo publioan ticket was elected. There is one good rosult possible in all this. It will, perhaps, open tho eyes of fair men who have been voting the tioket to the utter rottennoss of the party as it stands to day. Here are tho patriots who wero afraid of the solid South, who wore alive with love for the boys in blue, who wore dying with doaire to have it proved that thiB iB a nation, and upon whose collected fronts glittered tho rare effulgouoe of the Dorsey star.

Paper versus Coin Currency. Those who favor paper as against coin as currency usually rely upon two points in justification of thoir preference That paper is more economical, and that it iB more convenient. In the very excellent address on the currency question, delivered last night by Mr. George Mead, and which will be found published in part elsewhero, the weight of both these recommendations is considered, and with a result which will surprise those who havo given no especial consideration to the ourroney question. If tho circulating medium of this country were solely paper, auu if it requiroil a thousand millions of papor currency to transact the business of the country, the per capita circulation would bo but twonty million dollars.

At four per cent, the interest on twenty dollars is but eighty couts a year, aud this would bo all that would bo saved by abolishing a coin currency aud substituting a paper currency in place of it. A man would have to be very poor before he could claim that he could uot afford to bo taxed oighty cents a year, if necessary, to secure the bost kind of currency rather than accept tho poorest. As to convenience The wages earning classes which form the great mass of our population would not bo burdened by being paid in coin money, while Mr. Mead is enabled to show that tho Now York Clearing House has transferred eighty five millious of money between the different banks of that city in a single day, while if this business had been done on a coin, basis, through the existing machinery of commerce, only an insignificant amount of coin would need to be transferred from ono bank to anothor. The l.ai IE oval ITInrrlne.

Iu the Church of St. Augustine, the sanctuary of the imperial household in Vienna, was celebrated yesterday the long talked of marriage of tho Crown Prince of Austria and the Royal Princess of Belgium. Tho groom is 23 years old, the bride but Thero was general rejoicing at Vienna, as befitted tho occasion, aud all the echit that could be given the gala event was bestowed upon it. The Austrian people, it is understood, are pleased because the union is ono of love, not politics, but it is hardly likely that the Emperor of Austria would have allowed his sou to marry for any other than State interests, or that tho little girl, whose father is King of the Belgians, would have permitted hor to fancy a youth not heir to a throne. Girls of sixteen rarely know their own minds, aud it is not probable that tho pretty Stephanie has more character at this ago than is possessed by the majority of well to do young ladies.

She seemed to be very like her kind in the very natural emotion she exhibited during the ceremony, crying as if her hoart would break before the cardinal and all the high dignitaries and royalty there assembled. Despite the splendor of the occasion and tho number of peoplo present, the bride lost hor Belt control and sobbed aloud, to the consternation of tho audience and perhaps to the ruination of her dress. She was ovorex oited and perhaps exhausted from all the ceremonies she had taken part in, and tho strain was too great, so she oried. And, despite the fact that the scene was one of great splendor, the like of which is not seen more than once In a generation at any court, the attractive feature to foreigners was the bit of naturalness and simplicity put into tho occasion by tho bride. Had she been two or three years older thero would have been no sign of tears she would have gone through with the composure of a field marshal on dress parade, and would have displayed her lovely apparel to perfection.

The costume she wore was regal if entirely uusuited for her yours. It was of cloth of silver, with a train that was carried by four persons. Tho masses of embroidery on it added to its magnificence and its weight, and over her head and falling around her form was tho lace vail about which so much has boon said for a year or more, and which was the wedding gift of the City of Brussels. AU over vail and dres were clusters of orauge blossoms, truly a fitting costume for a bride "who is some day to be an empress. The injunction of tho officiating high priest to her was the same that Paul gave tho Ephoeian women eighteen hundred years ago, that she ceaso to exist apart from her husband, and be subserviont to his will iu all things.

She cried, as very naturally she should, for in the making of such a vow tho girl no doubt realized the enormity of the sacrifice sh6 was making of hor own will. The Crown Prince was oool and colloctod, as became hiin, for marriage, meaning less to men than to women, affected him loss. Tho festivities ended in Vienna yesterday, but will be continued in other parts of the empire, and the couplo will doubtless bo glad to see the end of It all before the prooos sions, illuminations and the like are concluded. Tho bride has loft her own country at an age when she can hardly be said to be identified with her own people, and she will, therefore, grow to be Austrian in sentiment and oustom. In the eyes of royalty this is more important than anything else, and, therefore, daughters of kings are not left long on the parent stem, but are pluoked for the early matrimonial market.

And while they are taught from their cradles that they are to be bartered for, and transplanted to other households as soon at they are 16, or more or less, toe sons are early caught love of country, home iuteroata and fellowship with those who serve thoir countries in high capacities. Girls in this country who are now envying the splendid time which Stephanie had in gotting married, should remember these facts, and when thoy do they will not wish themselves in her place. Boyul surroundings do not qnito satisfy young poopfo somotimos and there may bo such a thing as downright domestic misery id a royal houoohold, Tho mother in law of Stophanie is an instanoo of this truth, and thero are a great many more In Europe.

l'olhemus, one of tbo beBt kuown and most public spirited citizens of Brooklyn, had made tho olub the present of an exquisite piece of bronzo statuary, representing a gamekeeper holding a foxhound and just on the point of lotting him loose on tho track ot the game. Tho expression on tho hunter's face, his attitude and the perfectly natural and inspiring position of tha dog are inimltablo. The bronze is valued at $250, and la the work of an eminent Fronch artist, Mods. P. J.

Mens. Mr. Polbemus when ho first saw this work was impressed with tbe appropriateness of tha design for a olub prize, and at ones mads it his own. Ho gave it to the olub to be shot for by the members, the man who should win it to keep it as his personal property. Tba conditions wero to ba fifteen birds each, handicap, ground traps, Hurling ham rules and eighty yards boundary.

Mr. Polheinus meant it to be a holiday for tho club, and In order to make everything pleasant took on himself all expense, Including a collation on the grounds, and PLENTY OF POTABLES. Iu addition to the bronza a handicap swoepstakes was organizod, tbroa classos; the second beat man in tbe shoot to take first money (tha first best marksman to take tho bronze), third man to tako second money and fourth man third monoy. Pools, to a moderate extent were also sold, almost everybody present taking au Interest, personally, in the affair. The attendance was tho largest ovor seen at Dexter'a at a shook of tbe Brooklyn Gun Club.

Prominent among the guests not shooting were Sim Hoagland, Counselor W. B. Davenport, Chae. Lawrencs, Charles H. Higglus, H.

Laugley, Benjamin Horton, E. H. Madison, of the Fouutain Gun Club, John C. De Fralne. of the samo club, Mr.

H. H. Wheeler, Mr. Kate, Paymaster Watkins, of tho If. S.

Navy, Messrs. Stacey and Compsoii, of the Sanoca FallB Gun Club, and many others. Aa soon as tho members of the club reached tha grounds a meeting was organizod, aud Messrs. A. S.

Swan, L. H. Leonard, S. Watorbury andV.ono or two others wars UNANIMOUSLY ELECTED members of the club, Thirty eight shooters faced the traps. Mr.

L. G. Road acted as judge aud aoore keeper. The birds were generally not a very fast lot, but occasionally there was one that taxed tbe skill or the best of tha marksmen. The number of shooter was so large tbat a full half hour was oonBumed on each round until, by common consent, it was agreed that gentlemen whose sooras wero suoh as precluded tho possibility of success should retire.

But for this the contest could not bava been decldod during the dsy, although the firing began at noon. Mr. Polbemus was himself ono of tbe contestants, not for the bronzo, but for the purpose of adding to the Interest of the oocastou, which ha did by soma ADMIRABLE SHOOTING, always under adverse olroumstancea in the way of attempts to put bim out of his self possession by all sorts of fun and the offers ot extraordinary odds that ha would kill hla bird anyhow.

Eddy the beautiful trophy ho had so worthily won. Mr. Eddy replied in terms to the effeot tbat ha was oreatiy pleased to be the successful marksman. Ho was tbo more delightsd because be was associated with such thorough gentleman as the members ot tba Brooklyn Gun Club. He ahonld keep tho trophy ao long as ho should live, and he should leave it as AN HEIR LOOM to hiB children.

He heartily thanked tha douor for his kindness and generosity, aud he hoped he might live long and prosper. Mr. Polhemuathen oame to tha front with something very larga and very mysteriously wrapped up la bis bands. Ha said tbat whils providing a prize for th Brat shooter In tha olub, he had thought it incumbent ou him not to forget tha Int. In his younger days ha bad suffered from tha ovll effects of non appreciation and repression, and all that sort of thing.

He thought that perhaps ha might have baan mors auosessful In aome of his younger undertakinga in life, had ha baan ecognized and appreciated more than he bad been, and ho had resolved to recognize merit, avan tha least trhough ft should a a matter of enoonragamant. He hat therefore provided a prize for tba lowest, THE WOBST BHOOTEB In the club, and ft afforded him tho 4Tateat saUsfaa tton to present It to tho man and shooter best entitisa to It, Captain A.

Mr Polbemus than toastad Mr. Bon West, President of the Long Island Gun Olub, and thanked (hs gentleman for tho large attendance of tha olub. The gun whloh won tha brour.a 1b tho property of Ooorga W. Poet, a No. 10 gauge, Primttn Soott, 9Jf pounds weight, and carried 4W draohms Hazcard's No.

It is because tbe flaaucial poiicy recommended and advocated by the Kqle in connoctiou with tho cur rency question would Bcpnre to tho country this desld eratum that its great value consists saving to the nation the interest ou $500,000,000, instead of turning it over to a privileged class of traders, great as it is, is, iu comnariBon, a trifling consideration the foarlm KH independenco and ability of the Kaolb ja thus inter posing in uouau oi uio nguvs ui tue lnaHsos auu ugainst conferring special favors and privileges ou associated wealth eutltlo it to the gratitude and thinks, not only of tho laboring masses, but of avery friend of fair, juat aud equitable dealingB. But for tbo innovations of tha Government, oue of tho accidental results of the war, on this privilege of striking aud issuing paper curreuey by the banks, which tbey bad held and exercised through bo long a period that tbey came to believe tbey had a natural aud au imprescriptible right to do, perhaps their pretentions would never havo bean challenged. THE GOVERNMENT'S OPPOBTUNITY.

If the opportunity which is now presented to the Gov. ernmont to repossess itself of a constitutional rljbt and power so loug usurped and exercised by othore ball be negicctedj and this whole subject of the country's currency is turned over to tbo banks again, 8 it waB bofore the war, in all probability it will bavo to wait a longtime for such anothor favorable opportunity as is the present perhaps it is quite a3 truo of nations as it is of Individual men, that There ia a tide In tbo affairs of mon. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortuno; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and In miseries. Ou such a high sea aro we now afloat And we must take tho current as It eervos, Or loso our ventures." DISCUSBINO THB anDTEOT. Whon tha vigorous applause wnicri followed the close of the address bad subsided, Air.

Klnsolla complimented Mr. Mead as a hard listed, horny handed man, who had studied out.tba matter for himself. The ourroney question, continued Mr. Kiusella, is, In my judgment, the vital issue of the day. aud tho antl monopoly question, which has already disintegrated ono of the great partlaa, is a side Issue.

I am a hard money mau, au antl bank man, forreasons which bavo secured the approval of Mr. Mead, aud I thluk the Democratio party is tho party which should make tho coming ttght. There li lu this oountry a large nnmlier of honest men known as GreenbackoM. Mistaken they may be, but tbey are not to be jibed at. When at a time Ilka this 50,000 men in Mlohigan vote for the Greenback ticket, thiB cannot be ridiculed.

I think that their natural place is with tho Democratic party, that Ilka tbe Btrong man who strikes in tha dark, they may bare been bitting their friends. There is something coming out of tho general discussion of principles which eoucorns us all. I may be trrong, and if I am I will be glad to ba sot right. If I am right I shall be glad to sot others right, and so iu order to provoke discussion we had a free trader here and beard bim challenged by protectionists. We wore gratified by a conflict of opinion and have burned Bomethlng from it.

We have heard from a bard money mau to night and have Invited here those who hold autagouistto vlows. Mr. O. F. Burton, who followed Mr.

Kiniolla, Bald be simply bad a few rieochotHng shots to make. Mr. Mead'a theory was beautiful, but in tbo parlance of tha day, It wouldn't wash 1 If for no othor reason than that it was SUBSTANTIALLY AN ENOLISH POLICY, should it be opposed. It was a policy which had made a chsruel house of India and a Potter's field of Ireland. Tbo chief misapprehension of Mr.

Mead and those who argued with bim seemed to be as to the stability of the precious metals. Tbey appeared to think that tho valuo of gold waa absolutely changeloBS. Since tba commencement of tbe world's error ou that subject, however, nay, in a hundred years, it had chaugod so that it took four parts more of Bllver to equal one of gold. Tbe spsakor traced the purchasing power, of gold through tbo centuries, emphasizing its fluctuations, and declaring that tbk Greeobackers did not simply propose to destroy a financial system without offering a substitute for it. Mr.

Klnsellahadapproaohcd nearer to the Greeubaoker than any man, uot a Graenbackor, that he knew of. As for greenbacks tho speaker was opposed to their lsstie himself, for they wore promisoa to pay gold or Bllver, aud ho would uot have au ounce of preoious metal In the ourronoy of the people. Mr. Burton aubmitted tho following proposition Suppose tbe people adopt a constitution making it mandatory on tbe Executive to lssuo through tho Treasury Department of the Government $24 In Govern mens notes per capita, making a total volume of $1,200, 000,000 national currency, legal tender to Government only. Somo Bay $400,000,000 of 3.70 bonds In aeries of fifty millions, and make them lntroconvertlble with that amount of ourroney.

When the commercial Interest on private loans exceeded three per cent, iu the principal mouey mart of the nation, call iu tbo bonds by series until the lntcrast fell to three, and then sell again. Mr. Olintoa Furbish spoke. He said it was A NEW XBA IN POLITICS, when suoh matters came to bo discussed under uoh conditions and he congratulated tho organization ifnder tbo auspioei of which tbt discussion was taking placo. If euoh a polloy had boeu adopted by Democrats a few years ago, there would have bean nothing going on In WaBulncton as waa bsino witnessed there now, aud no chance tor a discussion of tha question as to whether or not Itobortson ebuld be Collector of the Port of New York.

It had been said that Mr. Moad's polloy was that of tba E.01.H, and the Eaoi.e's polloy practically that of tbe Bank of England. Those who bad originated tba Bank of England policy had bean obliged to look forward to prophesy itsrsaults; tba latter could now bo looked at wlthoui necessity far prophecy. It was a fact that the act upon which It was bassd had been three timos abrogated that just at tha time when it should bavo withstood severe tests, II waa necessary to suspend it Patterson bBd vividly described how during a oriels the people had rushed to tbo bauk for their money, and how only when suspension was announced waa tbe axcltoment allayed. This oountry bad been alTeoted by pantos abroad, and tba only reason that commercial rouble waa kept from our shores in 1800 was that tba matter of the stability of gold did not at that time enter into the question of our ourrancy.

Such a causa of trouble never could arise when specie payments ware suspended. Tha vary olalm mado for tha Bauk of England plan waa that it waa one whloh In. time of uead oould be lot aslds which failed in an emergency. Referring to tho trtroatansd panto of six weeks ago, Mr. Purblah declared thai If tho bank had been allowed to oontraot tho volume ot their olreulatlng medium, thou auph i disaster would bavo occurred would have TnnOWH IKTO THK SHADE tha panfd of 7879.

Tha jnropotiilon of tba Sxoli waa ta make two hundred millions of gold the basis of tbo olroulatlug medium by holding ltln tha vaults; of tba Txaaaury Deportment, what wa thr good of having tho gold there whan tba assumption waa that, it would forever remain that uotoucood. Tba fact that It waa plaoed thero waa almplr anaro. Those wbo referred to Greenbaokers as Inflationists simply hadn't known what hy were talking about. It had remained for thM ftfAAtihMAkArs en ano 0Alie A nvStOm Without inflation. for they proposed that tho Govarnmont should Issue no promisoa to pay, dui aimpiy ou vipi with gold put Ita stamp upon It CAppiauie.l ram m.

mnuvhii HtrAitf debate ensued, the ohair Mk izia Mr. Vnrhioh mirnWol minted cmestlons to whloh that gentleman replied promptly but not, aa the ohair lis ooure satisisuiion. fng tuoieof, or for auy parson owning or conducting any newspaper or other publication lesuad in tbe State to give notice or advertise therein tho sale of any lottery tickets or tha drawing of any lottory within or without tbo State. The annual meeting of tho Mercantile Lib rary Association in New York was held last ovening. Constitutional amendments were carried depriving members of thoir rights if dues wero not paid within threo months, instead of a year, as formerly abolishing quarterly payments aud consolidating tba offices of corresponding aud recording seoratarios.

There waa a warm debate upon tho amendment which legislates the present of Dlrootors out of office and provides for a new system of election. It was accomplished. however, and henceforth tha Board of Directors will consist of eight members, four to serve one year and four for two years none of tbem being eligible for ra eleotlon until one year aftor tha oloaa of hla term of office. Tha old directors earnestly opposed tha changes mads. Before the Whittaker oourt martini yester day, Mr.

David N. Carvalho, a photographer of New York, testified regarding the handwriting of the note of warning. Ho produosd two immaass photographs enlarged many times the size of tbe note of warning. This onlargoment, ha testified, showed certain points In the sots, which the photographs examined by the Government experts failed to disclose. His theory was tbat in tho note as originally written, thero ware cer tain breaks between many of the letters, notably be tween the and tbo a in tbe word keep and In other words mentioned, and that some person had boon carefully over the original note with a lead pencil and had joined these letters.

It was this Junction, ho deolared, which had been mistaken by tha Government experta for a peculiar characteristic of Whlttaker's handwrit ing. What had been called ncrva tremor in Whit taker's writing was, in reality, Mr. Carvalho testified, duo to tbe rotouohlng process to which tba note had been subjected with tho pencil. Tha witness ridiculed the underwriting whloh expert Bouthworth claimed to havo discovered. Major Merrill offered a resolution to the court yesterday to tha effect tbat no mora expert testimony on tha subject will ba allowed.

Dooislon was reserved as to tho adoption of tho paper. Tha members of the Alumni Association of tho University of tha Olty of Now York mot last everfinj, In tha ohapei of tho university, aud aftor an excited session of four hours succeeded in passing a protest against the proposition of tho council to abandon tha undergraduate departments of science and art. Aaron J. Vanderpoel, prosident of the Alumni Association, prssldod. Cbanoslor Crosby mad tho first addreaa and dlsolaimod any responsibility for the present movement, which had, however, his approval and sympathy.

It bad baan found impossible, he Bald, to raise tbo funds necessary for the maintenance of tho undergraduat department, and he favored suspending It for several years until a aufUclent endowment oould ba secured. Bet olutions wero passed protesting against tha action of the council and expressing a determination to do all in their power to secure the perpetuity of their alma mater. A oommitteo of five was appointed to meet with tha oounoll and to pledge to thom the cooperation of the alumni In a movement to seoure for tha University tha needed endowment. Tha committee is than to report to a future moating of the alumni. Tho oounoll will meat on Monday ovening next.

The one hundred and thirteenth anniversary of tho Chamber of Commerce waa colebratod in Naw York by a dinner at Delmonioo'a. Vice President James M. Brown presided, and near him sat Seerotary Windom, Postmaster General James, Hon. Lovl P. Morton ond many others.

President Garfield and Senator Conkling aant letters ot regret. Seerotary Windom made an addrefs, in whiah ha said that the oenefl clal result of funding the loan had beon Tooted at of only $8,000 tha ooat of advertising and sanding two olerks to Europo; advooatod a haw department, to bo sailed tho Department of Industry and Commerce, The aeorotary further advocated an organization of tha Government that should foster tho tho interests of ohaap transportation, and thus furnish a way for the produso of America to roaoh the markets of tha world. The Fostmaator General, in hla speech, spoke of tho star route frauds, and said tha Investigations now pending wera aimed at a system and not at mas, but tbat if this inquiry should disclose tho fact that any persons havo boeu guilty of corruption and fraud, thoy will be handed ever to tha Department of Juatios. All unnooesssry and wasteful axpandlturea srs to ba out off, and the postal service, he promised, would ba conducted ou a strict business, basis. Soveral othtr ipeeohes war mada.
