Ono million dollars ara appropriatod toward the begiu- ning of work; the total cost is cstimated at £4,600,000. The pressurn upon Congress is now 30 groat that it is very doubtful whether the bill will overagain bo hoard from.

J. C. Bancroft Davis has beon nominated ss Minister to Borlin. Tho reneous which control tho presont Administration Iu muking appoint- menta are inscrutable, Bancroft Davis is now Aunistant Sccretary of Siate. Charges affeoting Aig charactor for intogrity have been pending Tor o long timo, nud they hiove never been sie- cosfully refuted. It i alleged that Dr. Dnyis, when acting as attornoy for the Erio Railrond, sold out for $50,000 to the Boston, ‘Hartford & Erio Company. Ho is eald to lave earnad this bLribe-money by recommending a contract which cost tho Erie Compnny several million doltars, and beneflted the Iariford Company in the samo degreo. While it may bo true that Mr. Davis has beon traduced in this mattter, it I8 not tho provivca of the Govorn- ment to undertake his vindication. Until the charges Imve been cleared awny to the matis- factlon of porsona who are in o position to know the facts, Mr. Davis should bo content with o subordinate place in tho pubMe servico, It i8 no compliment to the nation to rond abrond m8 ita roprowentative n man® who, whother justly or unjustly, is undor @ cloud, and has made "no strenuous of- {forts to cloar himself.

It way not conflued to farmers or to uny class or calling In tho community, but was suilicioutly broad to include all who desire to break the rusty fottera of old party orgauiza- tlons, and to bo dolivered from tho body of that douth, Tho dologates oxhibited commondsblo courage and dotormination to go forward in the pnth marked out by tho provious meoting ab Decatur. Tho Con- vontion was composed in about aqual numbers of Republicaus and Deniocrats, and tho showing thoy made was formidable enough to produce somo qualdng in tho rapks of both of thoso partlos. “The resolution adopted by the Convention on the currency question is more rational than we had enticipated. The noiso mado by the Infla- tioniats hud led us to oxpect somo sort of de- mand for nn “‘oxpansion” of tho currency.

That the information is correct thera scomn little renson to doubt. Keot~ ing gave it to Borry, Berry to one Rouben ‘White, Whito to the editor of the Blreveport Times, who vouches for ita truth.

W, Bolckars, in a recent lottor to the Now York Zribune, puts s proity offcotual quietus on tho story that President Lincoln, fm- mediatoly nftor tho doath of Chlof-Justico Ta- oy, offorad tho vacant place to Sonator Bumnor, Tho raport that he did so originated, wo boliova, with Mr. Calob Lyon, Ho fs crediled, at lonst, with tho authorship of tlis paragraph : Boon aftor Olifef-Justice Taney's death ho (Sumner) sliowed mo & card frow the President, tipon which was ou ¢ i "he Hon, Charles Sumner shilp is placod at your disposal, o then safd : #horo was s timo whion this oflico would Lavo beon tho roalized dream of my youtl, but now 1t must not, it ennnot bo, The breach botween Mr, Clinso and tho Presidontds growlug wider and wider, and thty will closo i1, No personal sacrifico s too great, nor can anything tempt moto desert my nost. Tho Republican_ party must romaln ntaot until 1ta misalon is fulflled.” It is well known thnt only tho great Honator' persistoncy sccomplished tho appofute ‘ment of Mr, Clinso, after n tedious delny from Ootobor to Dacombor. Mr, Chaso through life romained un- consclous of . Lincol’s offer aud of r, Sumner’s refusal, It AMr. Lyon ronlly wroto this paragraph him- solf, it is dificult tosoec Lhow tho facts cnu bo otherwise. But 1t {s probable that it passed through seyoral minds bofore bolog putupon pa~ por. In this caso it desorves littlo crodence. A sitory invariably grows with the tolling, If Sonator Sumner told A that ko Wished ho Lad boon of- forad tho Chiof-Justiceship, tho story, by tho timo it ronched G.or H, would bo thst ho had been offerod it, Mr. Schuckers’ account of the rolations of Lincoln, Sumner, and Chaso s0oms mora probablo than Mr. Lyon's, Mr. Schuclkers visitod Senator Sumuor on tho 15th of last Fobrunry. Tho latter thon told him tho followivg atory : About the middle of Mny, 1864, word roachied him that Chiof-JusticoTanoy could not live méro than o fow hours. It woa then Dbalf-past 10 in the ovening. o The t Chifof-) o oo il went ab once to tho President and told lim what he bad lheard, “You havo come.” maid Mr. Liwcoln, *to spork of Mr. Chaso.” *Yen.” “If I appoint Ohago will ho givo up politica aud tho Presi- donoy 7" Sumner, in roply to this question, told Mr. Lingolu of o rocout convorsation with Chaso, in which Chiase hnd said that if be could havo cithor the Prosidency or Chiof~Justiceship ho would choose the lattor. Linucoln expressed his satisfaction, and said Lo would spoak to Chaso on the matter noxt morning. Mr. Sumuer ob- Jected to this. It will nover do," bo snig, * for the President to have any communication with ony ouo touching nppointment to this great place which tho most malignant enemy could torturo into & coryupt understanding.” Mr. Lincoln ne- knowledged tho foree of the objection, Ho said Lo would not speak to Chaso on tho subject, but would cortaialy nominate him. Tho convorsa- tiou then turaed on his probable successor as Beorotary of the Treasury. Ar, Tanoy raltied and lived untll Oct. 13, 1864, Wheu ho finally died, Sumuer wrota throo times to Lincoln, urgivg Mr. Chasn’s nomination, “I oxpected no uuswer to auy of my lotters,” enid 1o, “and got nove,” M. Bolekers told bim of Robort Lincoln’s saying, just bofore the nomina- tion: **'Che relatious existing botwoen oy fatlier and Mr. Chase are those of srmed neutrality,” and suggested that the phraso might have orig- inated with the President. The Somator an- swered: “I dow't beliove Mr. Lincoln over usod it in conmection with JMr. Chaso and the Chief-Justiceship, . . . Jir. Lincoln #pid Lo. had never wavered in his inten- tion to nominato Mr, Chsss, if o va- cancy occurred during Lis Presidency, from tho night of our intorview on the subject in tho procoding Muy uutil tho vomination wos finally made.” I this is €0, tho placo could not hiave been offerad to the Senator. So, if Sumner 18 corvectly roported by Schuckers, he caunot be correctly roported by Lyon. Several facts meutioned by Mr, Schuckers cor- roborate his version. It (8 not at ol likely that a nomination to an ofiico of such groat import- anco should bo offered in the vory informal way which Mr. Lyon mentions,—by = line soribbled upon @ card. Agln, Mr, Sum- ner would cortainly have mado such a flat- toring oftar publio bofore his death. A man of ordinary pride—much more & man of considerable ogotism—~—would have dono this. Tho lottors of Bacroturics Fossenden and Stan- ton furnish additionnl proof.

It is not what mon say, or daclara, or resolvo, or profoss, but what men do, that is of fmportanco as showing whother tho ers of war shall be prolonged. If war could bo talked out of existonae wo should seo littlo moro of it.

In Amorica the Scorotary of tho Deaco Socicty eays Mr. Summner way proparing to plead lefore the Sonate in tho cawse of arbitration. Xven in Gornany a number of men have beon found to presont o petition to the Reichstag, ropresonting that, considoring the pacific declarations of tho English and Italisn Parliaments, who, instoad of asking on inorease of military charges, have askod a diminution of the samo, they, the sub— seribers, thought that the Gorman nation should give o proof of Its lovo of justico and show how apoople undersiand their mission of progross and light.
