D, Howe's Arnbiak Mikic Cura curcs this losthsome dis- ease,~—Sew Advertisement, —S;ib; beifiagx: Tribune, Friday Morning, Novomber 20, 1878, Bonsitivencss and agitation on the score of the Eaatern quostion are manifested in finan- ciol circles in Londou. The stock market yesterday showed great uncosiness and ex- citement on the strength of o rumor that Parlinment would be convened to consider the subject of the sitantion in the East, and more particularly to take action with referenco to Egypt. The Sndard, in denying the sruth of thigrumor, gives currency to suother, tolthe effect that a British flect hos been ordered to tle Mediterrancan. Wo publish this morning o spirited and interesting communication from an officer of the Avny of the Tennossoe, in reply to Gen. Bornrox's comprehensive and scathing criticism of Gen. SnepMaN as n soldier and o man, The writer takes up his pen with vigor in behalf of the author of the “Afomoirs,” not hesitating to assert that the sttack upon Gen. SueryaN hos been incited by a party of malcontents and soreheads, for whow Gen, Boxxroy is only the mouthpieco. He makes a gnllant defense of the General of tho Army, and the letteris well worth reading s a splcy and interesting contribution to the tiscussion called forth by the publication of Busnia’s * Memoiry.” ‘Whatever tho activity in tho Navy Depart. ment may mean, it will be interesting to know its exact strength, as sbown by the lntest Yavy Hegister. ‘There aro now twenty- four iron-clads, carrying sixty-thrce of the heavicst guns afloat, all of which can be put into service in two weeks, They are of the turreted, monitor pattern, and many of them are armed with rom prows, Thero are thirty- nino wooden vessels of all classes, cmrying 509 guns, which are ail in condition for activo gervico, Besides theso thore are cleven veseels on the stocks, earrying 124 guus, all of which will be ready within six months for cea, The total numbur of vessels now ready 18 wixty-thros, carrying 572 guns, ‘The correspondence of the London Z¥mes from indo:tau, & mass of which we pub- ished yesterday, secws to flatly contradict the roported coolness of the native Princes of Indin towards the Prince of Wales, The latter was greoted at Bombay, where lio first touched Indiau goil, Ly more thon seventy native potentates. Tho city was magnifi- rently decorated. Its streots wore filled with tundreds of thousands of spectators, und its windows blazed with Jamps, 'Tho Gaekwar of Darods, the Maharajal of Mysore, the Ma- baranse of Qodeypore, and Hir SaLar Juvo, who represents the sick Nizam of Hyderabad, were iu the eity. Reeeption followed recep- tion. Joy-bells rang and caunon thundored In pesceful jubilation, hour after bour, If Wo cAn trust thess accounts, the vikit is o grand stuveas Themauner in which Thauksgiving Day was observed §n and about Chicage will be found dnly et forth in our Jocal columus, Just in the nick of time Ol Probs vouchsafed ono of the brightost and pleasantest days of the fall, and what with puniform relaxation of business cares and troubles and a general disposition to be choerful and thankful, the day may be said to have been a pronounced success, Thers ‘were numerous union sorvices at the churches, where donominational differences were for. gotten completely ; the various charitable in- stitutions, being generonuly provided for by kindand thoughtful donors of good choer, came in for an unusually happy time; thousands thronged the places of amusemant; while at the homes of rich and poor alike there was 1o lack of cosy comfort and enjoyment to mark the ocourrence of the wholesome holi- day, The people of Chicago and vielnity will find thelr plensant Thanksgiving memories marred painfully this morning by the perusal of tho particulars of one of the most cold- blooded and cruel murdora that can be re- wembered in our city., And they will natu. tally and fnevitably ssk among themselves, Who is responsible for a condition of things which renders poesible and frequent the oc- currence of shocking tragedios sych as that of yesterday ? ‘Tho reply will be, That local Government is responaible whoso lax and in- +iiaient sdministration permits Chlcago to be overcoma by a hiorde of gamblers and rufians armad 40 the teath, End ready upon the faints ert protoxt to take the life of the unoffending and helpless citizen, Such is the truth, mnd such the way to atateit. Chiengo is at tho mercy of a clasa of men who constantly catry deadly weapons to the peril of unarmed and law-nbiding people,—n clasa of men whoro trade it is to rob aud kil These vermin must bo oxterminated; driven from the city 5 aud Police-Superintendent Hicxar must see that it §s done. I he fnlls to rightly read tho awful lesson of yesterdny, tho citizens of Chicngo, reading for themselves, will, if it comes to that, bo their own policomen, jndges, juries, and excentioners. Buch mothods of protecting life and property have been effoctunlly employed in crime-cursed communities, and Chicago's patience, so long and shamefully strained, will yot give way in 1ho same violont manner. The murderer of poor Cranrrcy WHYLAND is in custody ; the Grand Jury and Criminal Court nre in session; the proof is positive and conclusive of n fiendish, deliberate 1our- der, to which no defense can possibly be set up. Now lot the gnmbler Davis bo taken bo- foro tho Graud Jury this morning aud in- Qicted; then lot him be taken before tho Criminal Court and arraigned for trinl; let all minor matters wait upon this monstrous case, ond the trial bo carried forward without de- Ty, If tho facts have been correctly re- ported,—os they unquestionably have,—the Totit Jury will find averdict of murder in tho first dogreo and the sentonce of death without leaving their seats, Sentence may bo at onco pnssed by the Comt, and tho condemned wretch hanged on the gallows within threo weeks. Such a swift and terrible blow at crime would be a godsend toChicago. Stata's- Attorney Reep can and ehould subordinate overything else to this important cese. The opportunity for doing a great good should be promptly improved, THE MONSTER SUESIDY. Toxt Scorr’s Convention hns been held at St. Lonis and has adjourned to meet in the lobby at Washington. The country has read tho procecdings and will have recognized among the leading engineers of the affair all the unemployed ** statesmen,” who, a3 soon 18 they vacato seats in Congress, or the Cab- inet, or other office, become chicfs in the great lobby which undertales to adviso Con- gress what disposition should bo inade of tho money and credit of the National Treasury. ‘We proposa again to warn the country of tho gigantic snd wholly unprecedented charactor of this proposed raid on the Treasury. Be- side it, the celobrated Credit-Mobilier, whick is known the world over o tho groat fraud of tho ago, sinks into comparativo insignifi- cance. Two railroads connectingthe Lower Missis. sippi River with the Pacific Oconn wera pro- jected, nnd both had large grants of land. Theso Companics nover had a dollar of capi- ta, their dependence being on * faith.” In course of time, by various mnnipulations, both organizations have fallen iuto the bands of Toxt Scort, of Pednsylvauin. Following thoprecedent of Oakrs AuEs, ScoTr organized a Credit-Mobilier, but called it the California Construction Company, As manager of tho Railroad Companies, ho mados contract with bimself ns the ‘manager of the Copstruction Company to build the rords and parts of ronds, and of courss at such a prico o8 to take evory thing that could be begged, borrowed, ond stolen for that purpose, As long 8s bonds, principal and interest payable in gold, could be sold, Soorr's Constrnction Company worked awny npon detached parts of tho ronds, and especially upon branches and feeders leading to various poiats. The Company, of courso, failed to pay any interest on its bonds, nnd no more bonds could be sold. Under these circumstances, a new plan wns devised: That instend of building two roads, the two should bo united pear the 1030 meridian, and that thenco there should be but one road to San Diego, Californin, "ot that all the roads al- ready partinlly built should bo completed to a common junction, and that the Government be asked to furnish the erodit. The railrosd and parts of railroad proposed to be built with Government nid are aa follows : Lines, Mafu Line, Shrevepart to San Dlego, Tirauch, darvhal 1o Texarkins Branch, Texarkana to Fi, W iy TFeeders, A & I, L. IL., Vinits to 1034 tmoridan... 609 Now Orleatis to Blfavepart. s 400 Total raliway miles, . ©Of these, 462 miles ave in part operation. The bill reported at the Iact session of Con- gress proposed to sabaidizo all this railway, though the exact distauces were not givén, Tho demand mads is that Congress shall divect the Secretary of the Trossury to in- dorse upon the bonds of the Texas & Pncifia Rnilwny Compony that the United States guarontos the payment of the interest on such bonda at theratoof 5 per cent in gold per annum, for forty years; and that this guar- anteo shall bo indorsod on such bonds at the rate of $40,000 por mile of railway, It will roquiro but a few figures to illustrate the magnitude of this obligation which the United States aro asked to assume, Here aro the totals: Total pumber of miles of railwa; 9,93 Ttute of bonus per mile. . 40,000 Total bonds to be uaucd, v 137,300,000 Annual interest Lo ba paic 5,868,600 Toal fnterest, forty years, 24,720,000 The subsidy, therefare, i8 no wore and no less than a paymont out of the United Btates Treasury annually forforly yeartof F1ve MILL~ I0N8 RIGAT HUNDRED AND BIXTY-EIGUT THOU- HAND DOLLANS 1IN GoLp, nggrogating in all the sutn of $2:3-4,720,000 in gold—to enable Tox Bcorr's bankrupt Coatruction Company to wake a robber's contract with Tou Heorr's bankrupt Ruilroad Company! Here our renders have this whole schemo of plunder and subsidy in & nutsholl. The wholo thing is 5o atrocious that it ought to Do unnaceasary to apenk of it in detail. But when we huve the confidont declaration that a mnjority of the members of both branches of Congress nve ju favor of this gigantio scheme, wo nppeal to the people to take steps to warn Congress aud Governments and po- litical partica that no such barefaced, une- quivoeal plunder as that cau bo enncted with- out such a popular rovolution that will make the recipients of the bribe-noney wish they had nevor been born. Biuce the history of the United States no schemo of robbery of this magnitude Las ever been proposed. ‘The Credit-Mobilier robbery was acoomplished secretly, and but fow in Congress were even award of what they.were voting. But here is & demand publicly mads that the United States shall assume a Liability for 234,000,000 in gold, to be paid out to enalle a gang of desperate, gambling, bonk. rupt railroad speculators to enrich themaclves at the cost of the already tax-riddon people of the United States. Hore, for the first time, does the public plunderer oppear in Con. gress, and, through his own subordinates and employes, proposes that he be votsd an an. nuity of §6,000,000 in gold for forty years, and, {a the faces of the Amerioan people, tauniingly deolaves thut already & majority o 7 : Lot branches of Congress hinve counsented to aeeept his thirty piaces of silver. On portions of this rallway already built Scorr’s Construction Company haa reccived in the stocka and bonds of the Railway Com- pany $47,000,000, or at the rate of $06,000 According to his own report, this work cost him $11,000,000, or about £110,000 The bonds of the Railrond Company are worthless, and thoso of the Construction But in his subsidy achemo ho s, upon the swrrender of his a mile, a milo. Compnny are worse. 247,000,000 Company’s bouds, to reccive United States gnaranteed bonds at the rato of 10,000 per mile, or £16,000,000 in gold for what Lo concedes coat him anly $11,000,000. Wo do vot thiuk that there is an honest man in Congress, or & disinterested one out of it, who nceds to exawmine this schemo in detail Lo be ratisfied that it is a bold and im- prident efort on the part of dishouest and bankrupt raitrond spectlators to seizo tho con- trol of tha Tronsury. No man believes that sich a scheme can get a disinterested voto in cither branch of Congress, and no main ex- peets that it can be passed without such a compensation per vote as will cnable the corrupt Congressman to aceept perpetual in- famy for all time to come. Tho wliolo lobby of the United States hns been enlisted. All tho eox-statesmen, all men—Union nud Confederates—who Lave beon parnding their military titles as part of their capital as lobbyists, have begun their work, The Pacific Mail Company expended §760,000 to obtein s subsidy of B8300,000 a yenr for five years. What will tho bankmpt railrond managers pay for a subsidy of £6,000,000 a yeoar for forly years? ON MARING MONEY. In No, 18 of the Irecholder, o periodical which was maiuly written by Josern Appisox, ‘the parson in n tye-wig,” ns THACRERAY called him in lovingsport, there is an account of some expedients, renl and imnginary, for “ mnking the volume of the currency equat to tho wants of trade.” Thesa plaus bear & closo resemblance to somo of thoso urged at tho present time in this country. The most notable expedient is that of a French King. This wily monarch issued an edict that overy lonis d'or—a coin containing 14 livres— should pnss for 16, as soon as n new stamp was imprinted upon it at the royal mint., This, it will be noticed, is simply carrying out the ides that the value of coin dopends, not wupon intrinsic worth, but on the stamp of tho Government thet coins it. His Majesty of France, as soon o3 the louis d'ors poured into his mints to re. ceivo the stamp, deerced that they should bo repoid to their owners at tho rate of 20 livres to the louis d'or. By this simplo expedient, tho King made a good thing of it. Appison suggests that since a single royal edict has mede 14 livres into 20, another should be promulgated declaring all tho men in France to be 7 feet high. The King possessed of such omnipotence was Lovis XV, His predecessor, the Grand Monarque, had s hab. it of occasionally lowering the *valne"” of the currency just before his subjects paid their taxes, nnd then testoring ita nnte-tax valuo when his trensuries wore full and be came to pay his debts. This froak sometimes pro. duced curious consequences. The anthor saya: 1 have heard of a young French Indy, o subject of Louvis XIV., who was contracted to a Marquis upon the foot of a £5,000 fortune, which she had by her In specio; but one of those unlucky edicts com- ing out n week before the intended marriage, she lost a thousnnd pound and her bride- groom into the bargain.” If the wild dreams of our inflationista were carried out, and Qon- greas should incrense and decrensa the curron- cy at plonsure, or, what is the same thing, de- cereo that the dollar bill should pass for 31.60 to-dny, and G0 cents to-morrow, and $2 the day ofter, such melancholy cases of shattared hymeneal hopes might occur hers, too. Aporrmus, pressing Ewmy to his heast in love's young paroxysm, would say: *‘‘And you really own that stone-front block? ” “No, doarest, I have sold it, but I have the money.” *Thgmoney! Is it in gold or— perish the thughl. {—greenbacks?” “In greenbacks, darling; you know Congress has just doubled their value, o that I have mnde 100 per cent.” * Bnt to.morrow Congress will cut them down to 10 cents on the dollar; you Lave deceived me; my hesrt no longer thitats for thy pockat-baok ; farewelll” Exit Avorrmus, Ly swoons. Curtain falls on two hearts that do not baat as one, and two bundred thousand *‘dollars” that are not worth ten thonsand in gold. The terrible effect of inflation upon the matrimonial mar- kot has uot hitherto, we believe, been touched upon, but it should not be forgotton. The lottery of marringe should not be made mors bozardous than it ia at present, for our di- vorco courts are already overburdened. GEN. SCEENCK SHOULD BR RECALLED, The fucts in regard to the Emma Mine con* fidenco game which cost British copitalists 3,000,000 have at last been run down by the London lawyers for the shareholders. Theso gentlemen have unearthed a scheme of whole- salo bribery, which they are prepared to prove, as they say, by aimple evidence. The Company wns organized, the mino sold, and London capitalists flecced by bribing promi. nent baonkers, brokers, members of Parlia. ment, and, we regrot to say, the American Miniuter at the Court of 8t. James, to aot ns officors and Directors and loan tho use of their names and the influence of their positionsto the furtherance of the swindle. The Gzanr brothers—one of whom, Baron Graxt, {s the Oaxrs Awes of Great Dritsin—sefzed tho lion's share of tho blackmail, viz. : $500,000; the Americon bankers, Jay Cooxx, Mc- Corwoow & Co., in connection with a member of Perliament, appoar to have ro- celved $100,000; the Directors, solicitors, and accountants all were paid smaller amounts, and Gen, Bogenok was **loaned ™ $50,000 in cash by one of tha concoctors of the scheme to invest in shares, aud received a private guarantee of 18 per cent of intcreat thoreon, It way in consideration of this bribe that Gen, Scuexck permnitied tho use of his name and high offcial station to persusde Englishmen to put thelr money into » worthloss and wwindling operation. The result is that, after $5,000,000 in money had been ralsed oua promise of $4,000,000 in aunual profits, to which Gen, Scuexox subscribed, there is within four years nothing lett of the enter- prise,—no mine, no profits, no tools, nothing but some odds and ends that are probably over-valued at §12,000, the sole remuants of $3,000,000. When this report was made ton mueting of sharebolders, the Directors were instantly deposed, the Becretary summarily dismissed, Baron Ggant's confldential clerk hustled out of the room, and Gen. BommNox, the American Minieter, hissed and hooted ! ‘This inal exposure of the Emma Mine scan. dal leaves the President no alternative but to seoall Gen. Bommwex from England | at lonst that {o the view the country will take of it The zutors thas have grovailed hereto. NOVEMBER 26, 1873 foro wcro really sufficient to warrant this course, but, now that the facts nre ascer tnined, Seuexcn’s reeall is lwporative. le haos disgraced the American Goyernmont and American peoplo as long as ho shonll be por- mitted to do so. The Amoeriean Government cannot wibe out the porsonal and oflicinl dis- graco which Gon, Sonzxck lias brought upon himself nnd the high position he holds, butit can free itsolf and tho Armerivau people from all respousibility for it by his immediate dis- migsal. Gen. HoneNor mAay or may not havo belioved that the Emina Mine was o reality, and wonld yield the enormous profits prom- ised ; thatdoes not now enter into the gques- tion. 1le hnd no right on any terms, whilo acting a8 the American representative at a grent Court, to permit Lho use of his uswe to promote any speculative schente. ITe had no right as an honorable man under any circum- stances to nceept n bribe for tho use of lis nnme, nor to secretly nequiro ndvantages over other shareholders when ha led them to believe that he invested lis money on cqual terms, The fact boing admitted that Gen. Scurxcr received £10,000 in money to invest in Ewma Mine, which was given to him by tho projectors of the scheme for the use of his nune as o stockholder aud Director, with a guarantes of 18 per cent interest, wo can coneeivo of no extonuating circumstance that will warrant bis continuance iz office. This ex- posuro will go throughout all Europe and bring the American eredit into disrepute and the Amorican Governmont into disgrace. Its effects cau only Lo counteracted by the immedisto recall of Gen, Scmenog, which will be & notico to the European Govern- ments and the Europenn capitalists that tho United States Government will protect itgelf from oflicial abuses by rthe only monns it bas, viz.: The dismissal of those who com- mit them, no matter how high their station. HURROO FOR BARNEY. Tha people of Chicago woke up yesterday morning, clutched their multitudinons Tnin- unEs, read tho report of the Hon. Bemvarp G. CavLrrELd's intentions, and said ** Thank QGod, tho country is safo.” Bamysy is on guard. Ho has spent the intervening months sinco the Dridgeport vote elected kim to Congress in thinking over what the country needed, and in promptly supplying o panacen for evory conceivable want in tho shape of o little bill, n LIl born from Baunev's brain, and warranted to produce the Millennium within two months, at the farthest. It may, perhiaps, ocenr to tho unprejudiced render that the Representative of the First Congressional District of the Stato of Tiinois apparently considers kimselt the pivot about which the whole Govern- went of the United States is to revolve during the uext two years. It is sweet, however, to sce the gulieless gush of young ambition, to note the budding hopes of this embryo siatesman. But we have sgen many lads start ont in this way. They were goiug to fix things all right. The world needed n few reforms, and here wero the reformers. Thoy were so hopeful, o full of plans, so delightfully foolish. This intoxication of youth is like chbampagne, It sparkles a minuto nnd then the life is gone. We drain tho stale cup to the lees, without ever tasting that sparkle again, Something like this, wo feav, will be tho fate of our Banser. He thinks now that bo is \going to reform the Government of the United States, kill the third-term agitation, reduco the President’s salary by half, settle tho financinl question by iuterproting the Constitution, transfer tho British Cabinet system to this country, sell Dearborn Park, pot the City of Chicago on stout financial legs ngain, elect M. O, Kern Speaker of the Mouse, nnd otherwiso figure na the great American agitator. Theso beautiful schomes will vanish before many months have rolled by. When BanNgy has jumped up and down a few times, and introduced a score or two of hig bills, snd Las scen them all * referred” to murderous Commiitees, where the tender infants aro ruthlessly strangled, ho will take o different view of his position, At prosent, ho probably expects to bo appointed Chair- man of all the important Cominittees, or may bo has somoe socret hope of the Bponkership itsolf. When his namo is rond out as the jupior member of the Committes for Fur. nishing Plug Tobneco to the Grandisthors of Revolutionary Veterans, Lis pride, his hopes may have a fall. B — liead of the Appointmont Division saund Chiet Clerk of the Intornal Revenno Department, and now defondant in a criminal suit at 8t. Touis, did not celobrate Thanksgiving Day in o proper way, His prospects for a prolonged sojourn in 8 coll betweon McDoNarp and Joyoz seem to be good. The testimony is damning. Whon he was indicted, some woeks ngo, his expressions of injured inno- conce were beautiful to hear. Confronted by tho Secretary of tho Treaeury, he brazenly denied his guilt and indignautly resigned his place. That place was really the keystona of tho arch of fraud that spanned the country from enst to weat. Its ocoupant necessarily knew the dotalls of all intended raids, and was thus ensbled to telograph warning to his fellows in 8t Louis. It is said that the only succesaful raid ever wade upon the distillers of our sin- ful rival was planned at a conferonoe from which Aveny happencd to be absent. In re- turn for services like theso, he was pald, ot first $100, then 8300, por weck by Jorow, who collected the money, through Mearuz, from the makors of crooked whlsky, Unless Mranur's testimony iy broken down, Aveny's fato iy sealed. The alleged specifio salary, the wages of sin, was handed by Mxanue to Joxor in envolopos marked *Aveny,” and may have beon pocketed by Jovox. Dut Mzanuz swears to certain conversations with Avenry, which, if true, ave conclusive, If the ex-Oliet Clerk is coavicted, it will show that the Ring was abla to buy, for #5,000 and afterwarda for $15,000 a ycar, one of the most trusted officials in the 'I'reasury De- portment, The fact is an unpleasant one, and should suggest an inquiry into the pos- sible purchase of other officisls in that De- partment. At any rato, Avzsy {9 in a-very bad way. Al Bwitzerland s agitated now by the fail- ure of the Bank Dufour, which hag alrendy been announced by telegraph. The details of its downfall yeoall some of ths incidents of the recont falluro of the Bank of Californis. The Durouss were one of the oldest and rich- est familien in Switzerland. For moro than a century the business of the bank has passed from father to son, and such was the popular contidence in the business integrity of the family that neatly the whole of the savinge of the people of Geneva found their way into the bank! In an unhsppy moment Durous lent large sums, amountlog to upwaxds of 2,000,000 francs, to » fewalsr, whish proved to bs an utter loss, He then resorted to the mest dasperatd spacalative scbimies W B¢ oover himself. e bought "L'urkish ntocks on the Bonume for a riso and they fell nlmost ene. Linlf, and tho tosses of the bank incrensod from 2,000,000 to 6,000,000 francs, Ono evening ho went out to a requestored spot at the Junction of the Arve and tho Rthene. Htoop. ing over tho rushing watery he drew o rovolv- er, shot himsolf through the head, and bhis Dbody fell into the river and was found somo daya after bolow Geneva. The bank, mean- while, hag gone into hopeless bankruptoy. ‘The history of illegitimate Lanking is the same the world o ————— One of the things which the Hon, B. G. CavtrtcLp is going to do when be renches Washington next weelt is 1o introduce o bill to reduco tho salary of the President to $25,000, Thin would e coneidered a pieco of senseless demageglsm in tho case of suy- body but tho member from Bridgeport, but 1is choracter and mental powers forbid the thought. Let uas renson with Bannev, Gronax Wasnrxotos was paid $25,000 por year, in gold, when the United States con- tnined less than 4,000,000 people, one-elov- enth of the presont population, owning about one-fiftieth of tho present wenlth of the conntry. Ono dollar in gold then had the purchasing power of two dollars in paper now.
