The plalform calls for “n speedy return to apecie payments as essential 1o the revival of the commerce, business, and credit of the country, aud fo tho wal- faro of tho laboring mnsses," and re- joicea in the removal of ‘‘the odious prohibitory law,” The strong and anited front presented by the Massachusetts Dom- ocrats, and the popularity of Gov. GAsTOX 18 shown by his majority of 7,032 over Taryor in 1874, will necessitato great care in the selection of a Itepublican standard-bearer, Already the namo of Crianues Francis Apays beging to loom up as the ono likely to head e ticket, and the probability of such a nom. inntion next Wednesday is strongthened by the letter of Vice-President Wirsoy, in which he positively declines to b considered a pos. siblo eandidate for the Governorship, THE §SILVER-COINAGE 8CHEME, Tha Secretary of tho Lreasury, under an. thority of the Inw of Congress, has been for some time purchasing silvor bars with a view to their coinago as as ubstitate for tho frac- tional eurrency. 'Tho Government has also been shipping gold coin to California in place of bullion, in order to supply an incronsed de- mand for coin. The result of this has been that there is just now a corner in gold, n few persons having bought up tho surplus gold The Spanish Governiment in it correspond. | in the market, and nro holding it from gen- ence with the Papal Nuncio evinces o senti- | eral use.

Upon application of Mr. MacVeaonm, a temporary injunction, restraining the pny- mont of tho order for 15,000 voted by tho County Bonrd, wes yesterday granted by Judge Parwkty, of tho Circuit Court, For- tunotely, tho order of the Bonrd had not yot been signed by the Chairman, Cominissioner Buepick, who has opposed tho abstract job with oll his might, and who donbtless hoped that an injunction would be applied for and obtained. TUnder the bead of *“Insuranco” wo publish Lhis morning reports of tho proccedings of the Fira Underwritors' Associntion of tho Northwest, which begau its sixth aunual meeting in this city yesterday; nand also of the Convention of Insurance Commissioners snd Superintendents now assembled in Now York. In tho last-nnmed body the Ion, Joun A. Fryen, Special Commissioner of Insurance of Indinna, mado an able and earnest appeal in behnlf of legislation for the better prolee- tion of the rights of holders of life policies, asserting that as now conducted the business of life-insuranco is altogether o one-sided af- fuir, the companies baving everything their own way,and the policy-holders paying for far more than they receive. The subject was re- ferred to the Committee on Legislation, The Republicans of Maryland have united their foreos with those of the Reform Deme ocrals, and the two will mnko a common cuuse the atlempt 1o wrest the State admin. stration from the corrupt control of the Bourbou Demoerncy, whoso high-hinnded proceedings have completely disaffectod o largo and resipectable element of the party in tho State, leading to on irreconelinble £plit in the ranks, and the inaugnra. tion of a formidable reform movement. In their State Convention yesterdny the Lepublicans confirmed as their own the Iie- ly-ndvanced value. Our silver coinsge is worth about 95 cents on the dollar in gold. Our greenbacks are at present worth 10 or 11 cents loss than silver coin, Bo long s tho paper currency has a less valne than the sil- vor coinage, the latter will be seizod and hoarded, or will be exported, a1 rapidly as it iy iugued. It is an invariablo rule that whero thero are two forms of currency having dif- feront values, that ope having tho groater volua will bo hoarded and the otlier kept in circulation, T'rom this rule there is no ax- ception, whothor the curroncy be in the form ot metals or paper. The inferior will ox- clude tho superior. Bo long as the value of the national currency remains loss than that of silver coinnge, the latter, as rapidly as it cowmes from the mint, will be seized by those who will sell it ns bullion—pocketing the dif- ference. Nor isit necessary to indneethisthat the difference in value between paper money and silver coinnge shonld be ten conts on the dollar, So long ns the silver is worth ono or oven a qunrter per cont more than the paper, it will bo hoarded or bo taken up for exporta. tion or sale us bullion. The attempt, therefore, to float a silver coinage alongsido of a deprociated paper cur- rency—the lattor being a logal.tender—must fall, until such timo as the paper shall have o somewhat permanent value, and that valus shall be greater then that of the silver coin- age. The moment that the greenbacks reach a value oqual to or exceeding the value of sil- ver coin, then the Heeretary of the Treasary will be under no necessity to purchase silver with gold, because silver will change places with the paper currency by tho act of private capitalists, Tho mowent a silver dollar ia worth less than a greenback as compared with gold, the fractional cwrrenoy will be gathered up and sent to the Trensury to bo rodeomed in greonbacks, and silver will flow into circulation by effort of the brokers and bankers, withont any assistance from the Government. Greonbacks being a legal-tonder for all sums, whilo silvor coin is legal-tender only for the gnm of five dollary, the formor will hiave a superior valuo in the market so soon for corn to Bulflo, Flour was quiet and form-Democratio ticket, consisting of nomi- | a8 the paper currenoy is exchangoablo into nationy for Governor, Attorney-General, and | gold st the same or higher valuo than fhe, Comptrolier, nud adopted a platform favoring | silver coin. 3 return to specie puyments aud the oqual | The valuo of oursilver eoinage, tobe suld as ‘axation of all property whatsoover, The now | bullion, in about Y0 cents, whils it bas a cur- coalition will kavo to overcoma n Democratio | roncy value of 95 cents in gold.

I'he United Staten Goverument has mnade two honest and well-planned attempta to ro- deent its solemn pledga of paying its paper promisos in the mpecio for which they eall, The first was in 1865, whon Secrotary Mc- Cowrocn urged upon Congress, in his annual report, thonccensity of gradually withdrawing and eanceling the superfiuous and redundant greonbacks. Tho second waa ab tho last sos- sion of tho Iast Congress, when the compro- mise bill providing for n small contraction of greenbacks preparatory to resumption of fpecie paymonts in 1879 was passed. Con- traclion of the currency formed no part of this last measure, a8 bank is. ees wero provided to fill the vacnum, The ndoption by Congress of Secro- tury McCurroon's recommendation was the first step towards resumption. The acls ‘which ¢nnbled him to partially earry oot that plnn and the votes upon them are matter of record. 'Tho record shows that the Democ- racy wero then beartily in favor of redncing inflation. Dec. 18, 1865, the following reso. Iution was introduced into the Tonse : Heroleed, That this Houso cordially conenrs in the views of tha Hecrotary of the Treasury, in selation to tho mecemity of & coutraction of the curroncy with view to as eatly n resumplion of spocie payments as tho business intereats af tho country will permit ; and wa hereby pledgo co-operativo action to thls end 3 speedily s practicable, ‘Tho sontiment in favor of this was so unan- imous that it was not oven referred to a com- mittee. It was at once pnssed by n volo of 144 to 6. Of this majority, 30 wore De,mo- crats, while there wns ooly one negativr, Dom. ocratic vote. Megsrs, Tanen, BerGey, Tav- zon, Brooks, Ravrorp, Hysners, and Hoa- rigey, of New York; RaNoarg, Boven, AN- ©ooN4, Stnouse, Jouxson, Detason, and Daw- soN, of Denusylvaning Srrancaves ood Wnianr, of New Jersy; Prxck, of Ohio; Troupre, Rurren, Camer, Hanomva, and SuaNgLI¥, of Kentiicky ; Ross, TnornTox, and Mamsnary, of Yinois; Nisnack, Kene, and Voonnzzs, of Ladiana; Ilooan, of Missourd ; and ELpnrour, of Wiscopsin,—all Domocrats, ~voted for the resolution. Theso votes by Olio and Pennsylvania Democrata are espe- cially noteworthy, inasmuch as the Demoerat- ic party of the two States has since publicly declared that * the contrnotion of the cwironey mado by tho Republienn party . . . throatans universal bankruptey,” and that “‘tarthor contrnction . . ., mast beaban- doned.” Tbe party now condemns what it nlmost unanimously supported a fow short years ago. When the bill to ennble McCur- LooH to controet the greenback-currancy was paased, every Democratic Congressman who was presont and voting, with ono solitary exception, voted for it. There wero no negative Domceratio votes in tho Senato and only cne in the House, Poansylvapia had two Demooratic Senntors at that time, Buek'wew and Cowaw. Tho latter wna clected n8 » Republican, but gradunted from 120 Senate a Democrat, Both thoso gentlemen voted for tha bill. Not one Democratio member of the House from Pann- sylvanin votod against it. Thus tho party in that Biate doubly indorsed the policy of contraction whicl it has since denounced. " and V' Peoplo’s Party” liko perip bonda, interconvertil b QuRRsitinn WY a0 EsRs, Demoernts, and disappointed Republicans for the State election, Tha **Peopla's Party” was a com- Dination mainly of tho Irish and Germans of two years ago ona looal liquor {asne, in which they woro assisted by the eriminal classes for purposes of their own, Tho Staads.-Zeitung desires to hold this combination togetber under the mesningless name of ** Opposi- tion " for tho nppronchiug; election.

Not on tho ecurrency ques. tion, becansethe Staats-Zeitung claims that it is in full sympathy with the Republican party oud with Trs Temuse on the money question, It cannot be on nationry issnea of any kind, because the only paty opposing tho Itepublican party on thero in the Demoeratic party, Vitde Olio and Ponn. nylvania. ‘The Staals-Zeitnng, if it 14 oppos- ing the Repubilican party, will hava to go futo tho Domocralic party ; but it doe 't want to do it just now, becanso it hes “ho npproach- ing local election in view.

'Thoy are also tho same people who, lika the Staals-Zeitung, aro not willing to go into the Republican perty nor into the Democratic party for the present, but desire to maintain s sort of mongrel ** Opposition,” withont avowed prineiples, to grab tho spoils at the approaching local clection, When the Staats-Zeitung rays, ** Wo beliove the goneral welfaro of tho city will bo better provided for by that organization [viz : the eople's or * Opposition ” party] than by tha one which gave us Davin A, Gace and Enven Wasnnowy,” it iguores an evsential fact.

THE “BIAATS-ZEITUNG'S" POLITICS /4GAIN, The editor of the Staats-Zeitung -deprives his German readers of more than a c:olumn of Teutonie literaturo in order to print an ex- plaoation in English for the beunfit of the oditor of Trx Trrsuwe. The editor of tho Staats-Zstung must have discavered that Tar ‘Trinune is pretty well informed of what tho Staate-Zatung prints in Gerinan, and gives it such attention os it may happen to deservg, If the oditor of tho Staats-Zeitung desirr,d to address » porsonal card to tho editor 02 g TrInUNE, he might hava sent the m° nuseript directly to this office, and ho w0y’ not then have deprivod hiz roaders of o yportion of thoir Gennan randing matter gor which they pay thelr monoy. - We have, hod other indice- tiona, however, that oy, langusge is nob onorgh o Batisty tho ‘ynbition of the Slaats- Zdtung editor, &Y'y this probably accounts for hin ceeasions)y gppoarance in English, ag well s Frenck, Dutch, Dohemisn, Scandi- navian, and yrigh, After o ‘eareful rending of the Staats-Zei- tung's card ¢ the editor of Tnx TRIBUNE, Wo fail to di* gover that tho English version of his po ition differs very materially from hin Ger nan version. Had he explained in En- P.ush alone we might have been accused of misunderstanding him, but as he has stated his caso in both English and German, and both statements ave substantially tha same, the fault, if thoro be any, must be with him and not with Tur Trsung. Wa said, for in. ntance, that the Staats.Zeitung was endeavor. ing to impress upon its renders that tho Sun. day-boer question is as much an jssue to- dny as it was two years ago, whea it knows botter, ‘Fo this the Staals-Zeitu ng replies in English that if the Nepublican party ““ghould roturn to powor, it vsould pay very little regard to Mr, MepiLl's 1cishes that the Sunday question should bo. considered set- tled for all time, but would Tenew its attacks withi's spirit greatly ombitiered by ita tem- pory dofeat.” This js gedng even furthor than Tur Trinune roprese ated it to have said. 'The Staats-Zeitung now s zys that the Repub. lican party would certa'mly rostoro the Sun- day ordinnnce, and theroby gives it to be in- forred that tho Repullican party formerly opposed tho Germens; oo the Bundsy ques- tion, Tho Staats-Zeung knows perfectly well that there is miat the slightest truth in this intimation.

Tho ¢dannel betwoen the island and the maia ‘land is safe for shipping in ordinary wentber, but in bad weather vessels are al- mogt invariably stranded and dashed to picices, and, when the great equinoctial tidal wiaves roll in from the Gulf of Moxico, they wre certain 1o involve wide-spread destruo- tiion, a8 in this instance, Galveston, how. raver, has suffered but alightly in comparison writh the towna along the coast furthor west, :a8 but five lives wero loat, while tho destruc- tion of property nmounts only to %200,000. Tho operation snd effects of these tidal waves aro well shown by Mr, J, W, Housz, an old residont of Texas, who, in an inter. view with tho New York Z'ribune a day or tvso since, snid : Frequaatly the winda from tue Galf sttain simost Ahe power of & hurricane, The destructive ntorm of 1867 cama with frightful rapidity upon the city, and, to judge from the unsuthenticated roporta, the present wtorm oxceaded that in fury, The ssllors acquainted ‘with the tropical sess were the firss to giva tho alarm, notdcing the falling burometer and the cossternation of the woa-birds.
