The pro- sprioty of continulng intimata rolations with an offlolal who has boen accused and not yot acquit- tod of gross doroliction of duty i3 a question that socms not to have ontered tho mind of the 'President, or to havo entered it only tobo dis- mieged. If any thick-and-thin supporters of Prosident Grant focl disposed to admiro him for his dovotion to his friends, they necd to bo re- ‘minded that tho President's chioico of friends has been sipgularly unfortunste, and, furthor, that it {s bis duty to have no frionds who are cnemios of $ho country. Clemencesu has sent anothor challonge to Cagsognac, with & proposition to mateh ton Ree publican Deputios against ten Bonopartists. Qagsngnac's reply is that hoe will fight nobodybut Gambotta, Hoeaysthe Bonapartist Doputics can- notacceptthochallonge, Such talkas this revives ‘blessed momorios of the days when an appesl to arms was au appeal to God. Idens travel fust in this sge of olectricity and magnotism. Bofore wo kuow it, Flanagan and Logan may vo matched to docido whothor or mot the American nation shall ropudiato its honost debts, Flanogan is & Puor Toxan Rangor. e is the most shameless of solary-grabbers, but he has too much con- s0ionco to bo an advooato of inflation, The Fort St. Phillip Canal bill, which passed tho House snd was dofeated in tho Scnato, was about as blind a pleco of legislation us hns como from eithor houso of Congress during tho scsgion, It was a concession; and an unworthy «oncosslon, to the Grangor intorest, It eaid in effoot to tho Beerotary of War, “ Appoint on- glneors to ascertain if a canol can bo mado at thoe mouth of the Mississippi and tho probable cost of such an undertaking—then make tho canal for $8,000,000." The Senato throw outb this bill, and will move an amendmont to the River and Harbor Appropriation bill providing for a proliminary survey of tho proposed work, 1t would be very muagnificent, no doubt, for Con- groas to set aside 88,000,000 and decreo that the Fort St Philip Cunal shall bo built, But it would not boe good senso. The voto of Orogon, Juus 1, ig not yot fulty sounted, although tho result is kuown to bo o Democratie victory on tho State and Congress- donal ticket, by o smell plurality, & Logislaturo divided between Domocrats, Republicans, and Indopendents in threo nearly equal parts, and county officors divided botweon Democrata and Independents. This much is assured by dis- patohos of the 12th, Our latest mail advices (Juno 4) show that the Ropublican papers of Oregon folt their local (county) defeats oven more keonly than the loss of the Stato ticket, which was then conceded ; while tho Indopend- ent presy was rojoicing in tho evideuco of do- voloped strongth. The Salem Record, of Juno 8, enid ; The Indopendont movement has accomplished much tn olecting a largo body of non-partisan men fo the next Leglslature from tho heat countieu fn the Stuta of Ozegon, 1t has nccomplished something mora in sbowlug thiat In every county it hns Positive strength, and only noeds organieation to win viotory 1f driven 10 pesort itwolf in o futuro, The estimnted voto hased on partinl returns tor Governor, was: Grover, Domocrat, 9,500; Tolman, Republican, 9,000 ; Campbell, Indopend- ont, 7,000, Tho total (95,500) compnres vory noarly with the total fu the June olection of 1872, which was: Reoublienn, 18,107; Democrat, 19,017, Itwould thue appoar that the Independ- ents, this your, have drawn 4,200 from tho Ro- publicans and 2,800 from the Democrats. Wo do not digcover in the roturns any ovidenoo of ¢rading.” Thore was, indoed, groat uneven- ness {n tho voto of Jocalities, but an equalization was offected in the goneral seare, The Clicago produce markots wore gonerally wenk on Saturday, Mess pork was native, sud 260 per brl lower, closing at 317,28 cash or sellor July, Lard was insotive and 23¢@3%o per 100 ths lowor, ot 611.00@11.05 cash, and 811,10 @11,12% eollor July, Moats wore dull end eneler, at O}@0}(o for whoulders, 0o for short short ribs, 0J£@I3¢o for oloar, end 11@1130 for swoot-pleklod hams, Highwines wero quiot and unchanged at 84)40 por gallon.

Tho Independont Couventions Leld at Bpring- flold end Indinuapolin lnst woele wrocked thom- golveas on tho curreticy roof, ana can only be righted and put in sailing trim by oqually bad eniling on tho part of their oppononts.

Most of tho Democratio papors which favored the Iudependont move- ment now eay that it will bo nocessary to hold a Democratic Couvention and adopt an unoquivo- cal hard-money platform. THE REPUBLICANS AND THE CUREERCY QUESTION. "Tho rojoction of tho Curroucy bill, upon which tiro Conferenco Committco of the two Houses of Congress had * compromised,” leaves it al~ most certain that no logislation of any kind on that subject will be bind this sesdion, Though tho Republican party las more than two-thirds of tho mombers of both Houses of Congress, it i confeusodly unable to donl with tho question or adopt any financial policy. Such questions, were nover gontomplated in the formation of the Ropublican party; the party Lad but ono bond of union, one purpose, ono ond, and that wat the abolition of Blavery. Slavery having Dbeen abolished, 1t had accomplished ity purpose, and, though held together by tho * colicsive power of publio plunder,” it hse been roally in tntters over sinco tho ratifiontion of the Fifteenth Amondment, To expact n purty thus cireum- stanced to harmonize in such way os to shapo and carry out o sound financial polioy, Is 89 ab- surd a8 to oxpoct that a piaco of machinery made expreesly to tell tho time of day can boused suc- cessfully to spin cotton or shell corn, Juat hore it becomes intorosting to know what tho Republicau Convention of Illinois is goivg to do about it, The Ropublican party in Congress 18 hopolessly divided in onch Houso of Congress Dbotwoen inflation and specio pryments. Tho President diffors from both factions in Congross, in that be demands & specdior roturn to specte poymonts than the * compromlso® bifl pro- vided for. Under theso circumstances, what _willthe State Conventlon nest ‘Waednordoy sey ordoon this quostion? That Convention has Lod the lck to witness tho failuro of the “ Faymors " at $he Convention of tha 10th. That body endeavored to atraddle the iesue, and sprainod itselt dreadtully in the attempt. Now, will the Republican Convention profit by the oxperionce of the Farmors? Will it avoid all this double dealing, and declare, in plain and oxplicit langungo, that the Republicans of Tlinois aro in favor of a roturn tospecie pay- monts? And, if 8o, whon? 'Tho President says two years,—the Compromiso bill implied four yours, Lot ue lmow all about it, Orwill tho Couvention declaro that tho Ropublicans of Iilinois demand **n moderate incronse™ of cur- roncy? Wo all understand whot that moaus, Tt ion't necossary to speoify, tho amount, This is the Issue bofore the peoplo at the com- ing clection, On the onosidois the President aud o portion of the Republican party m Con- gross ; on tho other sido la & majority of the Topublican Sonatora and Representutives, led by Senators Morton snd Logan, . and in tho appenl to the peoplo the Republican party of IHinois must deftnitely state whothor it cuts loose from tho Prosident or adheres to him on this vital quastion. : Thia s 10 timo to indulgo in menaningless res- olutiony, Lat thoro be a dofinite declaration in favor of oxpansion or in favor of specio pay- ments, Thore csn bo no middle ground, The “Topublicans in Congress cannot agroo, and it is for their Stato Conventions to fostruct them. ‘What will ba the instruction of tho Republicans of llinoia ? SR S THE TURMOIL IIf FRANCE, That the siluation in Franco is serious enough to warrant tho gravest approhiensions is appar- ent to tho most cagual reader of the oocur- ronces of the Jnst fow days, yob it Is diicult for such o reador—ospecially omo dependont on the cablo dispatchies for information—to compro~ hend how the atorm could have 8o suddenly ne- quired its presontjintensity, Tho downfall of tho Do Droglie Ministry, while apparently achioved upon & mero mutter of routine In the Assembly, was 80 unexpected to tho Legitiniels that thoy, tor the first timo, racognized that the Septenuat (seven years' Presidoncy), which had beon their own device to obtain & Dbrezthing spell, during which thoy could schema for the succossion, was, in fact, tho most poworfully ally for the Republicans aud Bonspartista thet could have beon iuvented, At tho dowufall of the Thlera Governmont, tho Logltimlsts wero at the flood-tide of thoir popu= larity, aod the failure of the Oomto do Chmine bord bo aceept the throne, which was undoubted- 1y within his wvench, on eertuin conditions, gave thoe doath-blow to the hopoa of his supporiora. On the other hand, the ovorthvow of Thiers was o too recent yobuke to the Republicans to war- rant any immediate prefensions by that purty, hd the Bonapastista hed not yet recoverad from tho odium of Sedan. ¥t was manifestly to the advantage of boththaea partios to daclare a truca, Tho placing of AMacMahon at tho head of the Governmont weg & tomporary Logitimist victory, inasmuols a8 bis provious afiliations, in wpita of the honors hoaped upon him by the Emplre, woro with the Hoyallsts. But, In fact, his posi” tion was analogous to that of the Chalrmanship of a nomiueting convontlon, which s often given to one sootion whon tho nominge 13 to bo found oluowhers, Tho recons oleotions sud the fall of tho Do Droglio Minlotry showod the Extromo Right (Legitlmiats) that thelr power aund in- tluonce were alrosdy on the wauno, while tholr opponents were each compat- ing aclivoly for tho coutrol of tho Assombly. Tho Bonapartista woro, undoubtod- 1y, tho frut to break tho truce. A mooting was Lold at Chlselhurst nttended by tho principal loadors of that pavéy, and & mosgago was sent to MaoMulion to tho offect that thoy would sup- port, or even oxtond, his authority, 8o far us it wae personal, und tbo President was #0 ime prossod with this mossspo as to lay it boforo tho Oabloet, The Dohaparilists snd Legliimists 1 wero sufliolently united on one poiut,—tho por- sonnlity of MaoMahon's tonure of offico,—nnd this was tho applo of discord which suddon« ly disturbod the balanco of poweor and con- vulsod France. A movamont ind been contomplated, and in faok & monsure foroshadowed in debate, to do- claro tho Boptennat a flxod fact, whoover might il the DTrosidentinl chalr, This was oquivalent to tho coriainty ' of o Republio for soven yoars, and though o Mon- archiat was in power, thero waa no certainty how long hio would remain there, nor was it {atondod that ho should romain. The Logltimists wislod his succossor to bo Ionry V.; tho Bonapart- istn, Napoteon 1V.; and tho epublicans, Gam- bottn, Jules Favro, or whoover olse might bo the horo of tho hour, Tho Republicans were willing to leava things in sfati quo, as thoy had all tho advantagos of a state of affulrs which fumillarizod tho peoplo with a ropublican form of govornment, Henco their dosire for & dofi- nito proclamation of -the Republio or & dissolu- tion of tho Assombly, Tho Donapartists had recovered some of tholr old prestigo, and wore anxious for action, The prominons foature of tho Empire wae its rost- losa desiro for consplouous display; like somo notors, it novor folt sure of ploasing unless it como closo to the footlights. Thomore the utterances of tho Bonapartist prosa and the actions of tho Donapartist delogatos aro observed, the moro prominont becomes their Itching for notorioty. Cessngnac's Lravado was not slono the ompty vaporing of & vain bully, though Lo is all that, but he knovw that Ius lour de force would haveits offoct. At lnst tho Legitimists were goaded into ac- tion. With an ostensiblo control of the Govorn- mont, thoy found themmolves crodited only with its mistakes. Tho Duke de Broglio, so far from profiting by his powor, scomed to use it only to advance his onemies, With two Bonapartists in the Qabinot, and an equal division of the prefec~ turea and minor appointments among tho throo partios, without rogard to thelrrolativo strongth, it becamo ovident that tho Royalist party wore not ouly not profiting by their advantages, but ‘were nctually givivg them up., Achange was in- ovitable, and that {t should come like a trans- formation scono fn the spoctacular dramas wns only to have been expected from the chiaracter of tho poople. As the situation now {e, nothing short of om- niscience can forotelltho outcome. If, howover, it is o rovolntion, it will at lenst serve Lo postponse the next contlict with Gormany, and that will bo & gain to tho world, and, most of all, a gain to Franco. THE CLEVELAND ROLLING-MILL COMPANY. In Tux Trisuse of last Mondny o lottor wus published from onr correspondent **Gath” on tho presont condition of tho iron and steol in~ dustry, in which some statemonts woro mado in- Jurions to tho fiunncinl standing of the Clove- land Rolling-Mill Company. Ono of thess stato- monts wus to the offuct that this Company, iu comunon with many others in various parts of | tho country, was in embuairassed circumstances, und that its stock was worth ouly 20 conts on tho dollar. Anothor was that tho Company had prooured and uaed tho Dessomer stcol patent without paying royalty to tho inventor or legal Liolders of the patent. Lvidenco nas boon presentod to us by o dlsin torested party, and notut the instunco of tho Clovoland Rolling-Alill Compauy, which wo deom porfectly conelusivo, that tho Company is not in embarrassed circumsatances; that it Lss a paid- up capital of §2,000,000, and a surplus of $060,000 ; that it novor failed to pay its hands during tho panic, sud that its eredit stands so high that its papor is Qdiscounted in Enstorn cities at 2 por cont less than tho Oloveland bank rato. Of courso, under these clrcumsiances, the stovk of tho Company is worth sl that was over paid for it, and, ns & mattor of fact, it is not for sale. We are also conviuced thnt the Company paid tho full royalty for the Bossomor putout acocord- ing to agreomont, Wo mulko theso corrections both as o mntter of justico to ho Company aud for tha purpose of satisfying railwey compunies haviug contracts with the Cloveland Rolling-3fill of the sounduess of thoir guaranteo for tho charactor of thoraily thoy doliver. THE ANTI-MOIETY BILL, Ona of the host reasons why the Auti-Moiety bill, now pending before s Conferencs Commit- too, should pass, is tho fact that Senator Bout- wallisin favor of itspassage. If any ono fs qualified to tostify ns totho fmquitics of tho Moiety luw and the obstacles which it places in tho way of morchanty, it is tho ox-Secrotary of the Treasury, duriug whoso tormi somo of tho moet glarmg instances of the blackmailing and’ coufldenco oporatious of the Jayne Ring ocenr— rod, under tho authority of tho mofety systowm. As g incident of the rocont digcussion in tho Scnato, Mr, Doutwoll made sn oxplanation of tho Phelps, Dodgo & Co. scandal, fn order to freo bimself from the odium which haa attached to him, growing out of the compulsory paymont axnotod from this frm to satisfy & tochnical vio- Iation of tholaw. It will be remombered that in thirty-six importations of tin plates made by thits flem, amounting to §15,000,000, the dutios wupon which asmounted to some £4,000,000, and covering the period from Junusry, 1871, to Marcl, 1872, a clork in the em- ploy of the flrm dlscovered a discrepancy ho- tween the rogular Custom-Hougo invoices and tho private invoices of the firm of $1,000, and reported it to Juyne, who at once put his thumb- serows upon the firm, and by virtuo of tho strict- ness of tho Iaw, which rendered overy invoico lablo to confiscetion in which & misthko oo- curred, ho suceceded in exncting from them £271,000, half of which of courso wont to tho Riing, although My, Dodge wes ready to show that the mistakos were not intentionnl, and was not evon uwaro how muoh tho Government had lost. Mr, Boutwoll's oxpiunationis a very sate isfactory ono, eo fur es ho iy personally con- corned, and it is difiloult to sco how he could Dbavo actod any difforently fu tho promisos; but this doos not pallinte the monstrous Injustice of the law or tho outragoous operations of tho blackmailors ncting undor its authority., Mr, Boutwoll's statument shows that tho matter way laid bofore tho Districl-Attorney in n legally cor- root mauner, and thut tho District-Attornoy, bee ing snilefled that tho defoudsnts wore logally liable, tuntitutod suit to rocovar ©271,000 dem- agos. Aftor tho Institution of tho sult, Mr, William 13, Dodgo callod upon Mr. Boutwoll, sud tho iuterview we give in Mr, Doutwell's own wordy: ¥ Mr. Dodge called upon moin Washington at my boarding-house, oWt of oftio> houry, and stated Ju goneral tho difiiculty In which Lo wuy involyed, alleg= g sin dnnoconce, of which T hnd no doubt, oxelled wy unvesorvud symputly upon the sopresentation ho mado of tho Aifenlty n whiok his houso wae fuvolved, aud deslrod to pay tho $274,000 at onee, and have the ‘Wliolo matter disposedol then and ihore, Ivaidio him: #Thiafa on imposstblo thing, an improper, very unwine thing for you to think of.” Upon his asscrtions of Lia nnocenco, I gavo ltm what I thought was legal advico, nnd good advice, oa far aa I could give advico ns o public ofleer; I sold to him: “If your atatonionts bo truo, na Thavono doubt, you are in no danger ofthor as to money or roputation, Qo into court, whoro tho tostimony can bo falkon under ool and #ecordlug o .tho forms of Jaw, Tho Socrotary of tho “Tronsury bias no powor; ho cannot tako testimony § o caunot form n legal judgment, This cano con only Vo dinposed of proporly {u the fudicll tribunals of tho cotntry, and if it sball turn out, s I linva no doubt it whll, thial thoso e techulenl dopartures from tho la, nd do 1ot fnvolve any criminnl intent, the Court wilk 80 corlify; ond tho Secretary of the Treasury, undor {lio ptatuto, then hns power (o Tomit tho penaily in wholo or in_part, and such Lliings sro frequently dono Mr. Dodgo hos sald sinco that 1 gavo lim fgood advice. 1 gavo him much advico s I thought a oo {n his situation should take, 1fo camo o socond thne, and I repeated tho advice to im, but declined {o Bave anything to do with tho ad ustmont of tho mat. tor, aa it Wy in tho courts, and must Lo thore dis. posed of, All this timo Mr, Dodge was ignorant {hat thoro wne only $1,000 involved in the wholo enso (if hio had known which, a8 ho himsolf said, bo nover would have pid the money), and so, rather than havo 1t telographed to tho whole world that tho houso of Pholps, Dodgo & Co. bod boon convicted of defrsuding tho United States Governmont, Lo mado soveral proposi- tiona to compromise, ono of which, making an offor of $271,000, tho nceoptanco of the money boing o bar in anyocivil suit to thoso cnses which had beon oxamiued and reported upon, was accepted. 1f thoro had been no other instanco oconrring undor this infamous law,~if tho Sanborn con- tracts had nover boon heard of,—thia ono caso, alone, oven undor Mr, Boutwoll's interprotation of it, which was as favorablo to Jayno and his Ring a8 it could bo made, would be sufliclont ronson why it should Do am- nulled at once. By this oxplanation, it appears that o morchaot of Now York, at tho head of & large and respeotablo importing house, was compolled to pay $271,000 beeauso ho had caused tho Government to loso 1,600, without avy criminal intent, but meroly by tochnical violation of tho law, and that ho did this so that ho might froo himeolf from n black- muiling Ring, oscape from danger from thom in tho futuro, and uot bave the impression go abroad that ho had defrauded tho Governmont, —an improssion whieh, onco made, might nover be ontirely corrected, o not only was ignoraut that ho bad caused the Governmont loss, and of the amount of tho loss, but tho Government itsolf knew thero had beon no fraud practiced ; and yat, by the provisions of this law, & gang of blackmailors got $135,600 aud the Governmout a like smount., Is any further argument necos- sary to convinco mombers of Congress of their duty in the premiges ? ——— A WARNING TO BONDHOLDFRS, Tho Richmoud Whigis wrathful beeause thoe British bondholders do uot think it {a honorabla in tho highest degreo for Virginin to refuse to pry tho money she hes ptedged herself to pay. The 1hig makes s roply modeled after tho ro- tort of tho Itnlinu press to tho Enslish papers which spoke slightingly of Italian credit: “ You're anothor ; Edward IIL borrowed 1,000,- 000 crowns of » Florontine bnoking-hiouso and never paid them back 1" o the Whig tolls tho following curious bit of history : In 1790, tho Princo of Wales, aftorwards Goorgo IV., and bis two brothers, tho Dukes of York aud Otarence, put o losu of .£1,000,000 up- on the markot, in order to pay their debts. Thoy guarantced 6 por cont interest, and socured tho principal by - vestivg all their rovenues in the hande of Trustecs. Tho bonds could not bo sold 1n England, but £500,000 of thom were disposed of abrond. During tho cotifusion of tho Frouch Rovolution, the threo Royal scapegracos stopped paying interest. Many of the bouds were ownod by Frouchmen who flod to England for. #atoty. They were naturally poor, and thoy made urgont domands for tho promised interest. The Princes tem- porized. At first thoy declined to pay on the ground that the holdera werouot the original owners, When & was shown that tho bonds wero oxpressly mado transferablo, aud that, morcover, most of the clnimants wore tho origiual buyors, the Princes flatly donied the validity of tho whololoan. 1M, Montignac, oneof the refugeos, brought the caso boforo the Court of Chaucery. ThoTriuce of Wales' attornoy delayed a settloment for a long time by resorting to all mannor of legal quibbles. This excited atten~ tion abroad. A mmmber of the bonduolders lv- ing on tho Continont came over to Eogland to 8id in tho prosecution of M. Martignao's suit, The * Alion law,” then in fores, made it legal for tho Homo Departmont to seize and sond out of tho Kingdom any suspectod alien, This latent power was used, Without a momont's notice, tho wholo batch of bondholders wore clapped on Loard a ahip, which at ouco set sall for Holland, It cast snchor, however, at tho Nore, It was pratondod that dispatches from the Stato Da- partment wero expocted. Thon somothing odd bopponed. Late ot night Captain and orow rawed ta tha uhoro, Tofora thoy rosched it, tho ship carooned and eanl, Not & blosted bond- ‘holdor csceped. £.Tho moral of thiaplensing tale {s, that the mon who aro ruled by tho nieeo of & dofaulting bond- sollor had bottor not mako'a fuss becauso othor bond-gollors dofault.
