Gratifying results hnve quickly flowed from the vigorous warfare waged by the Board of Trade, the merchants and business men, and the press of Chieago against the unjust and injurious discrimination in railrond freight rutes from which the commeroial interests of the city havo suffered so severely. The cer- tainty that this warfare would nssume n phase more aggressive and formidnblo was a pros- pect that cortain of the pool lines no longer dared to face, and a conference was called of the representatives of the railwnys intorested in the question of rates, This conferenco was largely nttended, and its deliberations resulted in breaking up the pool combination, abolishing the unjust rates complained of, and the ndoption of nnew schodule which establishes equitable rates. Thero i3 encouragement o beliove that a gonuine and valuable victory has been achioved by the press and peoplo of Chicago. Religion and politics wera curiously com. bined in Congress yesterdny., In tho debato on the Consulsr nnd Diplomatic bill, Mr. Hewirr, & New York Democrat, who has op. posed all the sweeping reductions proposed in the bill, was suceessful in saving the Con- sulate nt Beyroot, in Syrin, the headquarters of American missionary labors in Turkey, tho sent of an American college supported by the Presbytorinn Bonrd of Foreign Missions, nnd, a8 BMr. Hewirr showed, tho only place in that country whero Awmorican Christians could obtain protection against Mussulman outrage, His significant suggostion of the possibility that the abolition of the Beyroot Consulate would result in tho lossof the Presbytorian vote by the Domocratic party proved more effective with the Bourbon demagogues than any appeal in bohalf of humanity or Christianity, and the Consulate | wns restored and ‘‘tho Presbyterian voto" saved. THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS PLAN OF SPECIE RESUMPTION. Tho Democratic members of Congress have undertaken the serious business of cooking up o financial policy which will be satisfac- tory toall the factions of the * fierce Democ- raoy," DMr. Kenn, Mr. Tnuramax, Mr, Mor- nisox, and Mr. Paxne, representing tho hard- money faction, and Messrs. Boarx, Ilor- AN, LaANpEns, DBracrnuay, and other senip-money represontatives, have endenv- ored to stifle individual action and opinion, and compel tho whole party to accept the [Procrustenn platform for the coming Presidential election, The canens of ‘Thursdny night, while not taking any final action on tho subject, referred the matter to o committea, whick iy to report u definite proposition at a futuro meeting, Tho general drift, however, of sentimout scomed to be in favor of tho Pavse compromiso, which is olrendy denounced by the Cinciunati En- quirer and Chicago Zmes, and which in sub- stance proposcs : 1. "Cho repeal of the so-called Resumption nct of January, 1875, 2, The creation of s * gold sinking fund," or acewnulation in the Trensury, to bo held with a view to resumption. - 8, Non-nction in relation to the National Banks, save to refuse to rechartor them. “ The first of these propositions is a matter dependent Inrgely on what substitute may bo ndopted for the act of 1875, The law ns it stands is inoporative, and cannot bo execnted without further legislation, nund must either Do repealed directly or substantially changed by an amendatory law. The third proposi- tion is a postponement of a somewhat com- plicated question involving the constitntion- ality of repealing charters, The second proposition is, of courso, tho one including and defining the policy of the party, ‘Wa liave discussed this subject of hoarding gold ropeatedly, and have pointed out its wasto of time, costliness, its disturbance of the monoy markets of tho world, and its in- ovitable failure. In fact, all schemes to ac- complish specie payments by honrding vast sums of gold are mero expedients to avoid, postpone, and defeat resumption, and this is true no matter how honestly intended snch schomes mny be by their proposers. 'Po carry ou$ this schiome of hoarding enough gold to redeom 270,000,000 of greonbacks, thero must bo o cortain sum fixed snnually to be put uside, What shall this sum be? Shall it bo thirty millions, twenty millions, or ten millions?. This gold can only be ob. tained by taxation, by the sale of bonds, or by diversion of the sinking fund. The amount of Treasury notes to be redcomed is &i370,- 000,000, Accumulating $80,000,000 a yoar, will regniro twelve yearsand a half ; accumu. Inting $20,000,000 n year, will requiro eight. een nud n holf years; and to put away $10,- 000,000 a year, will require thirty-seven years in which to oblain enough gold to redeem the notes in cofu, Wo understand, of course, that tho notes once redeenied iro not to be put in circuln- tion again, for it this wera done the Governs ment would bo obliged to purchase from 250,000,000 to $300,000,000 a yoar of gold to supply tho wants of the forelgn commerce of this coantry, and to furnish the coin required by importers to poy duties, which sum would bo impossible for the Government to purchase without lnuum'n.g enormons loss, Wo ng. sume, then, that the Democratio greenback. redomptionists propose to cancel and rotire the logal-tenders as fast as redecmed. 1t s onsy to connt up the cost of this pro- cess of nccumulating gold for purposes of ro- sumption, Whether the gold Lo raised by taxation, or by tha wale of bonds, or by sus. pension of the sinking fund, it will represont Jive per cent interest, either on thé bonds given in exchnnge for it or the bonds which wight bo bought with it, aud tho cost of ac- cumulation will represout fire per cent per anuumn on the amount hoarded, whether the whole sum be ruised in #en, twenty, or thirty years. If ton millions be raised annunlly for thirty-seven years, the simple intercst will ropresent tho total cost of resumption. This dous not jucludo tho interest on the gold while lyiug idle in the Treasury, which will Lave to be paid in the form of interest on the bonds sold in exchango or which might have been purchasad. ‘This interest, slarting at Lolf million of dollass tho first year, will in. crease aunually by the addition of a like sum until tho end, and in the aggregate far ex. ceeding the entire value of tho greenbacks to bo redeemed. It is immaterinl what the amount of gold hoarded each year may be, the loss of iutorost on tho bonds issued in ex. ehinnge for it, or which might Lo purchased with it, will, in tho end, bo the samo, and will exceed the whole principal of the legal- tender onrrenoy. It is simply a proposition to borrow that much gold during nlong series of yonra with which to take up the legal- tenders, Wa do not believe tho country will tolerato such n business, and, if it ba enacted by this Congress, the ropeal of the nact will bo demanded and eflected by tho noxt Con- gress, Have these Democratlo gentlenen eonsid ered the cffect of hoarding this vast amount of gold, covering such a long period of time} Have they considered thnt other countries have an interest in the disposition of the gold coinngo? Tho withdrawal of so much coin, and the arbitrary locking it up, would have an immediate effect upon the commerce aud trade of nll conntries, It would at homeo reviva the once intensa activity of the gold- room. 'The currency would probably depro. cinte for a number of years largely, and tho fluctuntions would Lo ns rapid and as vio- lent a8 thoy were in tho dnys of speculation in Wall street. Tho schomo itself would brenk down. Congress could never resist the temptation to spend tha accmmulated gold after it reached sixty or n hundred millions. Tho demand that this money should be put on the market and the demand that it should not be would soon beget two parties, one interested in de- preciating and the other in elevating the value of tho greenbncks. The business of tho country would bo ngnin plunged into fresh uncertainties, and bo s greatly demor. alized g it has ovor been in the pnst, and in tho ond there would be no resumption of specic payments. Now, why cannot Congress prepare the way for specie resumption by the plain and direct mode of offering the people who hold the greenbacks the privilege of surrendering them and taking in exchange therefor Gov- ernment bonds payable, say, thirty yenrs hence, benring 3} or 4 per cent interest, the bonds to bo n legnl-tonder, as well as the cnr- rency, for all debts that may have been con- tracted before a day to be named. Then we ‘wonld hove specie payments fixed, certain, at the day named, withont any contraction of tho eurrency, without any disturbance of the oxisting relations of debtors and creditors, ond an immediate restoration of tho whole business of the Government and the people without tho least hardship, convulsion, or interferenco with the equitics of debfors or croditors, There can bo no resumption of specio pnyments without contraction, and without o large nddition to tho indebtodness of the people, except by fixing o dnte when greenbacks shall ceaso to be n legal-tonder for now debts, and by leaving tho currency intact in volume for tho payment of all prior debts, and to this conclusion Congress must coms at lnst. It may as well do so nt once, BILVER AND THE FRACTIONAL CURRENCY. One of the most couspicuous blunders of tho Specie-Resumption not of Jan, 14, 1875, iy illustrated by tho specinl report made to Congress yesterday by tho Sceretary of the Treasury to show the actual nmount of cash in tho United States Treasury. This act authorizes and reguires the Beeretary of the Treasury (1) to-causo to bo bought, coined, and issued silver for the redomption of tho fractional currency, and (2) to dispose of Unitod States bonds at par in gold and use the proceeds thereof for tho purposes speci fied in the act, The Sccretary reports that, under this act, he hns sold & per cent bonds amounting to, interest included, £15,795,855. Tha silver purchosed by tho Government, in compliance with the Resumption nct, has been paid for out of the sale of those honds, thoughthe Washington accounts of the Treas- ury atatement fail to specify just the amonnt that s been devoted to the pnrehnso of kil- ver. Wo will pssumo for the purposo of the argnment that the proceeds of $15,000,000 of bonds have been invested in silver, to be used in taking up fractional currency when- evor he vontures upon the experiment, Tho Government bonded debt hins been incresed 16,000,000 aud the annual interest $750,- 000, simply for the purpose of accummlating silver in tho Treasury for the purpose of ulti- mately redoeming fractionnl eumrrency. In other words, the bonded aud interest-bearing debt has been increased to that amount with- out in the least bettering the condition of the fractional currency. In the nature of things it will bo simply impossible to improve the fractional curroncy by increasing the bonded dobt to purchaso silver under the provisions of the Resumplion act, for the simplo and natural reason that the silver will nat cireu- late in preferenco to fractional currency so loug as it is worth moro than the little shin- plasters, The rolative values of silver and fractional currency now are about as follows, estimated on the standard of gol Sliver (worth in gold on the dollar) Fractiounl currency (do).. ... The only way in whicl o broughit fnto circulation ns chango is either by o do. preciation of its value below that of green- bucks, or by the appreciation of greenbacks ubove tho value of silver, and it is not in tho power of tho Secretary to do cither, 'Thus if silver wero worth only 88 cents and green. backs worth 89, the silver wonld cowe ont through the brokers and bankers from Cali- fornls, Colorndo, Oregon, Nevada, and other silver.mining Btates ; nlso from England, Germany, France, and Holland, ard wher- over it 4 a ‘“drug,” and it would be puid out and circulated in preferenco to the greenbacks or fractionals, without any assistanco from tho Govgrument oxcept to coin it for the owners. The latter would be Loarded in preferenco to silver simply bo- cause worth moro. But, meanwhile, what is to bo gained by incrensing the bonded debt and the interest account of the Government in a mouner that does not relieve tho present situation in the least ? The Secretary is jus. titled 1n his application of the law, and, in- deed, powerless to place suy construction upon it other than carrying ont its provisions ashois required to do. 'Tho only way in which ho can be released from the obligation to continuo the short-sighted, absurd policy of the law is by the repeal of that portion of it requiring him to sell bonds for tho accunu- lation of silver. 'This ought to bo done in- stontly, and accompnnied with instructions to sell tho silver ho Las accumulated and buy in bonds o8 far ws the proceeds will go. Tho silver lins depreciated since lo purchasod it, and tho Government will mako & considernble loss onit at tho very best; but the souner that part of the law shall bo re- pealed tho smaller tho loss will be. T'o pur- sno the policy, a8 the Secretary will bo obliged to do unless the luw s repealed, the burden and the loss will bo increased. 'The principlo that the poorer curreney always drives the belter currency out of circulation applies to, the fractional shinplasters and sil. ver just ss it does to greenback scrip and gold. Whenever greenbucks advance in value above silver, there will be nonoed for any ad- ditional legislntion on tho subjeot of substi- tuting silver for fractional currency ; the wilvor will come into use in abundauco and Do paid out in preference to greenbncks and fractional curreney, which will be held baok for the greatar convertible value into yold or funding bonds worth raoro than silver. The publie welfaro, therefore, demands the in. stant repeal of tho clauso of the Resumption nct requiring the Secretary of tho Troasury to rell honds to purchase silver to atop at oneo the increnso of tho bonded dobt for an illusive and useless purpose, ERD OF THE POTTER LAW, The fate of the Porten Railroad law in ‘Wisconsin is sealed by tho ordering of the Vaxce bill to a third reading in the Lower Houso by tho overwhelming vote of 67 to 31 in n Tlouse composed equaily of Democrnts and Repmblieans, which will insure the re- pealing bill passage through the Senate. This will disposo of tho most arbitrary railrond legislation cvor enacted in this country., It gavo tho State Commissioners absolute con- trol of tho railronds, after making unfair clnssifications and nnjust discriminntions in rates, both freight nnK passonger, and then in caso of non-complinnce with the roquire- ments of tho law gave them the right of confiseation, and this popular tyrauny hes been indorsed by Supreme Court decisions. The people who demanded tho passage of this Iaw, aud wero even fanatienl in that demand, have now for two or threo years bnd on op- portunity to witnesa tho offects of its opora. tion. They have found that it has been of no benefit to tha State, but, on the other hand, bas retarded its progress. Thoy have found that it bag not enriched either the farmers or the merchants, —in fact, that no one las profited by it. They havo found that freights lhave mot been cheapened as thoy cxpected; that stockholders have been discouraged and railronds have been placed in o position whero they could not pay dividends, or, sub. stantinlly, hnve been bankrupted; that the Iaw his depressed the value of products and stopped railrond building ; that no new roads have been constructed, no sicel rails have been substituted for iron, no improvemonts bave beon mnde ; that thousauds of men formerly engaged in railrond extensions hnve been thrown out of work ; and that foreign eapital has been stopped from coming into the Btate, The politicians have been ready to repenl tho Inw for some time, but were afraid of the Grangers, but at last the popu- Iar pressuro has becomeo so strong that this unjust law is now on its road to repeal. It hins had a fair trial, and its results are pain- fully apparent. Its repeal will lift a load off tho peoplo of Wisconsin, and givo railrond de- velopments and extension and tho genernl production of the State fresh aud healthy im- pulse, MURDER AND INSANITY, Mr, Laxpws, who indulged himself in.a tomporary fit of insanity to kill Mr. Cannors, who hed been publishing somo articles in o Vineland nowspaper that wero distasteful to him, hins been Quly acquitted on that scoro. The scquittal, howevor, was securod by a system of compulsion, The jury which tried tho cnse had been kept in close confine- ment for moro than four weeks, and stood ten for aequittal on the ground of insanity and two for conviction, The Judge ordered them back, rofused to seo them to give any additional instructions, and threatencd to keop them on bresd and water il they should como to nn agreement, No wonder tho wenkor party gavo in and consented agninst their deliberato and mnture convictions ton verdict of acquittal. If jurora ara to be kept oun broad and water, in close confinoment, and otliorwisa treated like criminals, it is not surprising that they are fonnd willing to sac- rifico their own belief, ignore their oath, and subscribe to a verdict which is not in aocord with their own conclusions. After Mr. Laxp1s was thus acquitted, he was remanded to jail under tho following statute of Now Jorsey: Inovery case in which 1t shall be given In evidence npon tho trlal of any person cinrged with any crime or misdomeanor that such person was insune ot the timo of the commission of such offense and he shall 1o acquitted, the jury shall be required to find specisl- Iy whetlier auch person was insano at the timo of the commissfon of auch offense, and to declsrs whother Lo wan acquitted by them on fhe ground of such insanity ; and if they should so find and declare, the Court be- foro whon flie trial fs had aball have power to onler him to be kept in strict custody in such placaand in such manner s to the said Court shall seem At, at the expense of tho county in which the trial 1a had, so Jong as such person shall continue to bo of unsound mind, If tho kindred or friends of any person who may have been acquitted, a8 aforesald, on the ground of Insanity sliali givo sccurity in such amount s shatl bo satisfactory to the Court, with condition tust such lunatic shall bo restrained from (he commission of any oftenso, by seclusion ar ollierwlse, 1t shall bo lawful for tho Court to make an arder for the enlargement of such lunatic and his delivery tolis Kindrod or friends. It now remains only for Mr. Lanpis' friends ty givo such security ns the Court may require for his keeping the peace in the future, or to call for a commission de lunatico inquirendo to determine whether ho is ina fit condition to bo restored to his friends and tho enjoyment of pemsonnl freedom, Of course it will only bo n fow days till Mr. Liaxoms will be as free as ever, Btill it would Lo well for the commission sitting in his caso to weigh the probability that Mr, Lavpms may be attacked with an insnne notlon at any tino to tako the law in his own hands and exterminate somo more Now Jorsey editors. If thoy find that Lie is just s apt ot any time in the futuro to take on another freak of murderons iusanity us ho was before ho sent Mr, Caunvru into Kingdom.Cowo, then we should say it is their duty to keep Mr, Laxom in such confinemont o8 will render his temporary fita of insanity harmless to the community, Human life is entitled to some littlo consideration, and this {s about the least that ought to Le givon it 3 We are glad to sco that the comnsel for Fucns, tho Intest New York murderer, is go- ing to take n new departure in the insanity plea, It is announced that he will abandon this plea nltogether, and enter ono of justifia~ blo hormicide, on the ground that Fucas dis. covered his wifo in criminal intercourse with fnntons whom he Lilled, explaining simply that tho subsequent cutting-up and barreling of Snvons’ body was dictated by ignorant fear. 'This sort of defenso will present the issuo squarely to the jury whethera man having certain evidonco of the criminality of his wife is justified in killing her paramour, without stoppiug to inquire what proportion of tho actunl guilt was the wife’s, © Whatover tho result way be of this frank trial of the issue, thoro will at lenst bo tho merit of dis- carding o frolse plea of insanity, which is founded on no recognized law of the emo- tions that does not apply to the other phases eof human anger, amnd which hus long sinco ceased to deceive any one as to tho real cause of tho killing and the real excuso for acquittal, 1t weemn that tho hurried and careless leg- islation at the closo of the last Congress, which Tur "Cnivrse criticised so uoverely at the time, cost the country, besides the bur- . THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12,7 1876—TWELVE PAGES. e den of the chargos on third.clase mati-matter, on item of 2300,000 for useloss curronoy printing. This was occasioned by tho fail- wro to insert an exception concorning frac- tioual eurroucy in providing that thrae sep- arate impressions should bo made in printing the Government monsy, This was in no sonse nocessary or desirablo in the caso of the fraotional ourrenoy, but the neglect to excopt it and tho failure to appropriate for it lina led to n doficionoy of £300,000. In othor words, the country has had to pay $300,000 for legislntive carclosaness. Tho Becretary of the Treasury, in response to nn inquiry from Congroess, reports itoms amonnting in the aggrogate to %410,000 which nro owed the United States Govern- ment by its Foroign Ministers, Consuls, Bec- retarios of Legation, Consular Agents, and other attaches of the diplomatio servieo, As a samplo of these dobts, it may be mentioned that Mr. Cnasen owes Consul enrnings at Leipsio amounting to $442, though it is four years sinco ho left that Consulate; Jomy Jay, ox-Minister (o Austrin, is put down ns owing over $23,000 on account of the Vienna Exposition ; Gen. Broxrxs, ox-Ministor to Spain, hass an un- settled balance agninst him of $7,800; Mr. Baxcnrorr, the ox-Minister to Derlin, is in arrears, nnd so on to the large amount wo have given above. It ig probable that alarge proportion of these nominal debts to tho Government are to be traced to a failure to adjust accounts on the retirement from office, and that they do not roprosent so muck actunl money due the Government; but, at the samo time, tha failuro to settlo the accounts shows a looso nnd coreless systom which ought to be corrected, If accounts are per- mitted to romain cpen for years after the re- tirement of the officors, then such n practico affords opportunities for defrauding the Gov- ornment by overdrawing pay, withholding fees, and otherwise appropriating monoy be- longing to the Government. It is likely that & portion of the ${10,000 arrcars has boen lost in this way, and an action of debt ought to be commenced against overy person in the diplomntie or consular service who has neg- lected to settle his accounts, Binco the publication of JerrersoN Davis' deflant and insolent lotter, the arch-traitor of tho lato Confederacy, as well as his apologist, Bex Hinn, of Georgis, aro boing pinned down® remorsolessly to the facts of history frw"'bfl!cial documents both Unien and Cojsedorate. Ono of the points mado by Lota theso, and upon which they principally relied, was the assertion that tho mortality of tho Confederato prisoncrs in Union hands was in groater proportion than that of Union prisoners in Confederata prisons, or para- disos, a3 Hinnu termed thom. Mr, Wannzy Ler Goss, tho President of tke National Union of Andersonville Survivors, has boen oxamining thia assertion, and produces somo officinl figures which completely dispose of it. Tho total capture of soldiers and citizona by tho Confederato forces was 188,145, and of these ono-bnlf wore confined in prison.
