Rumors brought into the ngencles by casual Indinns are genorally cithoraltogother bassloss or greatly exaggerated. Two or thres woeks ago Luxe Dxxs rolurned with a terrible story of defoat ond massacre which hed bofallen Orook's command, but it proved to be wholly false. Now comes n report from Bozeman, Mont., brought by n Bioux equaw, who tells of n great hattls be- tween Cnoor and Srrrva Buowt, wherein the latter's forces wero alnost annihilated, and the remainder eaptured. Iiis plensanter to believe in this story than in the other, but thora is not much groatar probebility of its truth, P — Tho resnlt of the olection of delogates to the Demacratio Congrossional Convention in the Columbus, O,, District, insuros tho nom- ination of Gen, EwiNo, an ultra-greonbacker of the B Oany stripe, and who worked for Avnzx and against Triuoex at St Louis, and bitterly fonght for a soft-money plank in the platform, Eastern Democratsat Washington are vory much msnnoyed at tho failure of Warring, the present Represontstive, to so- cure the nomination a8 against Ewixa. The District, iowover, is not hopelessly Demo- cratio, and it is quite possible that the Tr- DEN men are worrying themscives noodlossly, and that tho Twelith District may roverse the 4,000 majority of 1874. ey A gamplo of Doemocratio sincerity in tho mattorof Civil-Service Reformis to be found in that clause of the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Appropriation bill relating to the question of political neicasments. As this clause was originally drattod, it prohibit- od all clorks or employes of the Government not appointed by the President and confirmed by the Sonato from paying, saliciting, or re- ceiving any money, ete., for political pur- poses, whon assossed by any officor of the Government or by any other person, but the important words “or other person' were stricken out in tho Conference Commitice, so that the bill as passed, leaves the clorks as much as over at the mercy of assessments lovied by tho Chairmen of political commit~ tees or agents melcoted by them to raise money. In fact, tho law in this regard is not so strict as it wns beforo tho reformersof the Houso undertoolk to improve it. Pt Ay ‘Wa print this morning several sermons de- livered in Ohicago .pulpits yestordsy having for their subject the murder of Fraxcis Haxwreorp by Axnxxanpen Buruivan. The sermon certain to attract tho most attention is that preached by the Rev. M. M. Painx. nunsT, of the Michigan Avenue Methodist Church, a dergyman of prominenca in the denominetion in this city. In this instance, howevaer, ho assumes only to spenk his indi- vidual sentiments, and not to reflect those of his congrogation or tha Church at large. To nssumo otherwiso wonld, wo bellovo, bo a libel upon the intelligenco and moderation of the Methodists of Chica. 80, who 28 8 body will not be likely to ap- prove or indorse the many foolish and un. callod-for utterances with which the Rev. Mr, Pasrnunsr’s discourse abounds, Tho ap- parent intontion has boen 1. produce a sea- sation and to provoke criticism, without re- gord to the bitterness and bad blood cortain to be engendured. Whether tho resulting notoriety will componsate for the consure olicited by such a sermon at such a time, is o question which chiefly concorns the prench. or and his congregation. THE OREDITORS' DEMAND FOR GOLD. Tha New York Nation roturns to the dis- oussion of tho silver question with increased zoal ond considerable vonom. It maintaing that tho creditor class alone has the right of choico of tho kind of money in which thoy shall bo paid, and that tho torms of the con- tract do not govern or apply to tho case, We regret to say that it discusses the question with much intemperanco of langungo and with il its ordinary supercilionsnesa. It tol. orates no differonco of opinion, nnd **awin. diors," *rascals,” and *‘knaves” who prac- tico * roguory,” dishonesty, and immotality, are the charactor of pursons who reject its logio and are unimpressed by its insolence. Tho Nation is reckless in its nssortions. Justifying tho domonetization of silver in 1873 nsastepin tho right direction, it as. gorta that 1t is nstep which “‘all civilized countries aro taking or trying to take” Tho only countrics which have domonetized silyor are England and Germany, and they by no means embrace all tho civilization of the oarth. Nor ia there more acouraoy in the ss. gortion that * Europe is cagorly escaping™ from tho uge of wilver money. Reforring to ‘Tre Trimusg and others It eays: ‘They seem to supnose, f 8 nan promiscs to pay adebtin **caln," for fnstance, that it makea no dltference what changes in value tho coln has undergone {a the interval btweon the promiss and tio payment—a pleco of moral abfuscation which flows, we caunot help thinking, Trong tha fact that in the currency discussions of the last ten years w\ have beconie used to ** payment incoln" avn synonym for honesty, Dut the only virtue In coin, as money, fsite stability.

Coln which varles greatly in valuo s no better, or little Letter, than Govornmont paper. ‘fhe reason why men clung to gold and aliver ao long as standarls of value was that they farnlshed man who parted with his property toanather hat- ter masurance that ho would get it back syain than aoything elso did. If either of thutm losus thls power, calling it ** coln" does not make It hunest or udatul money.

Bo far as Tue Taisuxs is concorned, we do not hesitato to say that the United Btates, nor any other Govornmont, nor any individ. ual, in making n contract to pay debts in the legal coin of tha nation, hins ever gnarantood that the ailver or gold should retain its rela. tive veluo to othor commodities. "The con- tracts nover do moro than to guaranteo tho number of dollars, pounds, francs, or other donominations of money, of tho weight and purity established by law at the time of tho contrsct. ‘Thers can be no precedont for any {npliod guaranteo by tho debtor that tho motal of which tho current coin i3 mado shall not deoline in value, und yot that is the prociso thing which the Nation uow insluts hos boon done, Absolute fizednoas is not possiblo; It bins nover oxisted. Throe yoors ago, and for twenty yoors previously, aver waa ot o promium in gold Can it bo sald that during these twonty years gold was not ‘‘honest monoy"? Now Lhat tho relative valuos of the metals have changed, is silver money dishonost? ‘Tho samo law must apply to both metals. Yor over twenty years wo used gold because the silvor dollar was of moro value than the gold dollar, and was this dishonest? Now that the gold dol. lar {s of greater value, s it any more dishon. cst to use tho sllver dollar, its weight aud purity belng unckanged? It will not doto say thot the honesty of colu depends on its THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MONDAY. AUGUST 14, 18%, “gtability.” Coin is a commedity, and, though it i snbfect to lesa fluctuations fn value than other commodities, it han always been and of neccssity munst bo subject to gome fluctuations. When England anspond- od epecio paymonts, sho had the dual stand- ard; when preparing for resumption, silver advancod and gold fell. Engiand chose that timo to abolish tho silver atandard, and re- sumed spacio paymonts on the deprecinted gold atandard. Wns that dishonest? ‘Tho Nation {8 in error in nssorting that ailver has lost ita purchastng power. Tho ail- var dollar will to-day purchass ns much whoat, corn, cotton, or land, will purchnse as much ‘building materials, build as many miles of rail. road or as mauy steamships, andbuyss many goods and property of all kinds nx the gold dollar would have purchased in 1873, It has at this time o9 groat purchnsing value in all paris of the world where trade is carrisd on in ailver, as an exchange for commoditios, ns lind the gold dollar in 1878, The Committeo of the Dritish Parliament roport that ovon in India, wheroexchange in gold on London is 30 per cont, thero has boen no ndvance in the silvor prico of commoditice. Tho docline in the purchasing power of silver is confined axclusivoly to the purcheso of gold ; it i the gold which hag ndvanced nud grown doarer, ‘Tho gold dollar will now purchise more silyer and purchase more of all other comoditics than it would have done at any timo since 18512, Tho failuro of the gold prodnctions for two years would increase ils relative valuo atill more, Horeln i3 the valua of the dual standard. ‘Wherover it exists, and in England bofors silvor was demonetized, the chaaper coin alono measured tho values of all commodi- ties, Gold values have provailed for yoars, Decanso that metal was chosper. ‘Ihe prices of commodities did not follow the silver dol- lar, which, aven og late as '73, was worth 103 in gold. Now, though the silver dollar is not in use, and is ot a' disconnt of 11 to 12 por cont in gold, the silver dollar retains a purchasing power ns great in all kinds of proporty es the gold dollar had when it was ot a discount in silver, If thero ba but one motal in use, thon every timo it fluotuatos it carries sll things with it.

Ttwillthen boimmaterial which shall riso ; the country will have the other in which to do business, France af this moment is hoard- ing eilver to her utmost ability, preparing to resumo specio peymemts elghteon months hencs, and put i circulation what the Nation snys is not ** honest or -useful mounoy,” nnd ' furnish Imaves with an instrument of knavery.” & ‘I'he NVation can seo but one party to a con- tract, and that the creditor ; but thare mnst be two partics to ovory contract, cach en- titled to nil the equities that the othor can claim. The croditor's organ thus puts tho cuse 3 1t may be said, and is snld, that if allver had ro. malned s legal-tender, und had risen fu_valuo, the creditors of the Government would not for that rea- son havo nbated any portion of tholr domands, Very likely not. Asa 'i:muml rulo, men tako all thu{ can oty but if, ¢ mng‘h uuy extroordinary woclal revolution, siiver had risen In valuc relativo to gold and o comniuditics a4 much as it hua fallen, it would undoubtedly have been the duty of tho Qovernment to demonetize it Inordor to provent injustice belng done; and, for the aume regson, it wonli have been ita duty o avold taking sdvautage of the dIsturbunce in dealing with its own dobtors and tax-payers. If silvor Lnd rison instead of gold, it is nsgertod that the creditors shonld bo paid in silver, 8ilver had beon a logal-tender and was at & promium in gold for many years, and no one hind overinsistod upon being paid in sil vor. This propositionbeing evidently too pro- posterous oven to its author, it is sdded that had the silvor rison to 10 por cont nbove gold, then silver should bo demonotized, Gold, howevor, has risen 10 per cent,—why not the same rulo apply, and demonoctize gold? Why not in the one case as woll nyin the other? Why does not overy ronson that. would havo demanded that silver be demone- tized, in tho case pat, equally demaud tho domonetization of gold under tho samo eir. cumstances? Tho fact is, there can bo no safoty sgainst such fluctuations but in the dual standard. It was n wrong, a crlme, to demonetiza the silvor dolior; and it will be Lut perpotuating tho wrong and the crime ot to remonolize that dollar, THE MISSISSIPPI QUTRAQES, President Guant's message to tho Bonote, whon submitting lotters and documenis rela- tive to the Hamburg massacre, in which he reforred to Misaissippl a8 in o condition of barbariem, is - folly borne ont by the roport of the Bonate Inveatigating Committeo which hassiuco been published. 'Thisinvestigation has beon conduoted and the report propared ond signed by Mosars, Bourwery, of Massa- chusolts, Oanenon, of Wisconsin, and Mo. Minray, of Minnosota, Itcannot be said of Blossrs, CanznoN and MoM1Lrax atleastthat they aro florce partisans; both wero clected na conservative men, and are soin fact. 'Tho evidonce they liave taken covers somo 2,000 pages, and thero is no reason to doubt that the summary thoy presont of it in thoir roport is o fair resume vt tho whold, As puch it fs a showing that s disgraceful to American civilization, and fully worrants tho extreme measure of taking the Biate in hand and reconstruct- ing it in such o way as to givo it the consti. tutional guaranteo of o ropublican form of Govornmont, which i certaiuly denfed it nn. der the prosent condition of things. Thero has beon an offort on the part of the Democrats to make it appear that the organ. ization of tho White-Line Confedernte mill- tary companies in Mississippi was prompted by tho organization of the negroes Into mili. tia companies. Thero was no such provocs. tion, though aeven this would not have war- ranted the wurders and foroible brenking up of unarmed Ropublican meetings by theso ‘White-Liners, DBut tho ovidonce shows that thera was no movement for the organization of tho militla until aftor the riots ut Vicks. burg aud Clinton, where so many nogrocs woro killed that the Btate Governmont called for the formation of tho militia comnpanles to protect the public peace; and that it called upon whites as well ns blacks, oud Coufedorates a3 well ns Unfonists, to join theso companios and help maintain ordor and protectlifo and property, Butthe idte native whites, so far from responding to theso oppeals, made thom thp pretext for orgonizing military companics of their own to oppose the 8tate militia. 'i'his move- ment on their part practically defosted the organization of auy offcctive militia; tho ne- grocs and white Rupublicans feared to form into companios; but fow were armed, and thoso with indifferent weapons ; und thero was no organization that could make oven a respeotublo protonso at protecting lifo aud property. Meanwhilo, the Confederates com- ploted thoir organiza’son.. Thoy hud infantry and artillery companies, and wero supplied with the hest of wonpons. They bhogan lo seour the conntry onall aides. 'Thoy Lroke up and reattered political meetings held in tho interost of the llepublican party. They mutrdercd soveral of tho most prominent men inthe Republican party, ‘'hey forced others into oxile. 'They tived into tha Liouses of the negroes by night. Onona or two ocensions thoy Linddled n lot of negroos togethor, na Burren did at Hamburg, massncred n pard of them, and drovo tho othorn off. ‘Fhelr op. orations wers mainly in those conuties which had Loen in the habit of giving large Repub. llean mojoritics, 'Tho resnlt was just what lad been intended. A large proportion.of the negro vators, and many of the white Re- publican voters, werv so tioronghly cowed that thoy dared not go to the pollz nnd vole, and the Btate was carried by tho Domocrats | Just ns much by violence and ntimidation s if thoy had stood at the polls with rovolvers and shot-guns in their hands, shooting overy man who atlempted to voto the Ropublican tickot. Tho ovidence taken by the Benate Com- mitleo ahows that this Confederato imilitary organization oxtended throughont tho entire Btato; that it embracod fully ono-alf of all the Demoornts in the Stato; and the system of signals was so perfected that the entiro force could have been brought under arms withina wook. Itmndeup anarmy, ealledinto existanco without authority of lnw, and in- deed to opposo all Iaw and autbority, Thelr ncts wore simply organized murder, which the taw.nbiding people were too feeblo to resist. It is not mneh wondor that tho Committee investigating it camo to the con- clusion that * Mississippi, - with its fortile soil, immenko natural resources, and favor- able commorcial position, is in fret more come plotely oxcluded from the influence of civil- ization and capital of the more wealthy and advanced States of tho Union than aro tho distont coasts of China and Japan.” No wondor thnt it is npprehended, now that these outlaws have sccured the semblanco of authority by fraud and forco, they will ox- orciyo it in the same dircetion ns when thoy wero acting asmere banditti, and rotain the cantrol of tho Stato Government by thosame means of intimidation and violenco which they usoed to recuro it in the fimt instance. If tho negroes and white Republicans wers afrnid to go to tha polls to.vote when the State was nominally nudor the control of the Republican party, thoy will certainly not dare to exerciso their right of franchise with the Domocrats in actual power, with tho .| pretenso of authority for concentrating com- panies of armed men wherover Ropublican majoritics aro expected. Aud thus the eloctoral vote of Mississippi, to be cast for Tuoen and Hexoniczs, will Lo as cloarly fraudulont ag was the olection of the Logiy- lature which dispossossed Gov, Axes nnd clectod Mr., Lusan fo the Unitod States Seuato, THE NESXT SENATE, Tha terms of twenty-six Sonntors will ex- piro on tho 4th of noxt March, and thelr suceessory will Le choson by Legislaturen oloctod this satmmu.

In addition to those, tho now State of Colorndo, whosa politics in in doubt, will eloct two Senators; and Louisiana will clect a second Senator to fill tho vacancy for which Pmvousicx long contondod. Thus thore will bo twenty-nine sents to bo filled by now mon next March. The present Bounato is divided botween forty-two lepub- licans, twonty-nine Domocrats, and two In- dependents, giving the Republicans n 100 jority of clover.

'The Republicans will havo to fight hard to save their Benator in New Jorsoy, and thore will be a closo and oxoiting raco in Colorido, but wo think tho Tepublicans will win the olection in that now Silvor Stato. BOME MORE SAMPLES OF DEMOCRACY, Now that the Domocratic Congresd s ap- pronching a tomporary dissolution, it is ovi- dent that there has boou no higher purpose nor other intention from the outset than to proparo material for the pending Presiden- tial eampaign, in which the Democratio party is loading ita Inat forlorn Liope for tho possossion of the General Government. In this work of preparation, we venturo to ssy that the present Domocyatio Congress hns practiced more docoptions and resorted to mora disropntable tricks than any politieal body over organized und during the samo length of time. It started out with the plodgo to reform the tariff logislation of the nation, to improvo and definitely eottlo the financial complications, aud to oxpose tho nbuses of Gon.

No plan was suggested tn place of the ropeal. Even nbill to restoro tha coinige of the silver dollar—n plain and fair proposition—could not secure a hearing, but another bill, postpouing tho discunsion and providing for an invostigation of the watter, was mdopted. 'Thus there has been nothing but procrastination and dodging on overy phnse of the financial problem that hag beon presentod to the Domocratic Iouso, 8, 'Flie record of tho investigations ismore- Iy a record of slarp practices. Beginning with tho Bruzxar exposure, the House Com- nitteo that ran acrons his individual iniquity 80 conduoted tho caso 68 to permit him to escapo the ponalty of conviction on impeach- went. In the onso of Rosesox, the Commit. teo having the inatter in chiarge have sproad abrosd & roport flled with allegations of unlawful nots, but Liave takon no stops to bring Ronesox befora thoe Sonnte for trinl, and thus afford hitn an opportunity to bae heard in his own bohalf, , Thé vary same courso lins beon pursued by Darvey Oavr- rienn’s Cowmmitteo, which roporla . that Prosident Granr has mnde an unlawfal uso of Government funds, but does not offer to impeach him, ‘The purposo hins beon merely to got charges before the publis for cnmpaign uso and bold thom thero, knowing full well that they would bo dissipated if brought to trinl or au opon investigation. As con- tomptible'an instance of thia as hins boon af- fordod was in the case of Mr, Onti at tho {ime be was the Republiean candidato for Governorof Indinna. The Comumitteo pro- fessed to hiave ovidence implicating bim in dishonornblo trausactions itwconuection with tho Venezuela clafisg; and since he contdnot obtain from Corigress an opportunity for pub- lecly vindieating himself, Lo preforred to withdraw rather then have his party suffer from tho charges. But the monient Me, Ortn hed withdrawn, the Foreign Affairs Committeo resolved unnnimously to striko out from their report overything in relation to Onru's conneotion with tho Venozusld matter. It would be hard to concoive a more disroputablo nttempt to defame private char- ncter for partisan purposes, 4. While pretonding to n desiro to reform thopublio morals, this Democratic Honse hos rofusod to tokes action on tho cnses of SorvyaRER, of New York, aud Kiva, of Min- nesotn, - two members whose connection with the Pacific Mail corruption fund was abundantly established.

In tho most thorough and sweoping reform of tho day—the prosccution of the ‘whislty thiovos—~tho Demoerats in Congress, both in their Committeos and out- sido tho House, did overything in their gower {o cripple tho work of reform and broak down tho Becretary of the Treasury who was directing tho war, And now that tho Whisky-Ring is broken up and the ohiof operators are eithor in tho Penitentiary or in oxile, their Democratio frionds in Washing- ton ure ondeavoring, undor the Zuise of an investigation, to impugn the motives of tho Administration and bresk the forco of the roform, These ara a few samplosof tho Democratic tendanclea botrayed by an absolute control of one Honsa of Congress in a seasion of almost unparalloled longth, They will aid the im- agination in conceiving what may bo expeot- ed it tho entiro Government is turned over into the hands of the Domoorats, THE BANK OF VENRICE, During the last six or eight years, in which tho justico and expedioncy of having s np. tional paper currency irredeemable and a logal-tender havo boen dlscussed, the paper- monoy ndvooates have industriously eited tho precedent of the Bank of Vonice. The won- derful stoy of an irredeemablo paper money issuod by o baulr, guarantsed by a Govern- mont, nnd for 500 years commanding a pro- mium over coin, has been told over and over, That wonderful * fact " in recordsd history of papor wmoney not rodesmable, and yot bearing a Iargo promium in eoin, and sought aftor during conturies by the possessors of coinin preferonce tothoir metallio mondy, hns beon told to listening Senates, learned socie- tios, to assombled conventions, aud on the stump, to thousands of - audiences; it has ‘boeon writton of npd portrayed by writers on political economy, aud has bocome o familjar song on the lipa of an admiring greonback poople. There fs not a rural soft-monoy orator in tho land who cannot relate from tho boginning to tho end tho history of tho paper monoy that for 500 years commanded A promfum in gold, Upon this assnmption of historioal truth thoro Lias been built up the theory that what waa dono {n Venico may bo done again; that the sbility of Vonice was never equal to that of the United Btates; that *‘tho faith and resources” of tho American Union are inex- haustiblo; aud that a Government which was capablo of putting down a gigantio ro- bollion must Lo cqual to the task of compol- ling its own peoplo to prefer irrodoomable popor besring tho national atamp to the more metals known as gold and silver, The Tion, IL. O. Buncnirp, who 80 ably representa tho Freeport Distriot of this Stato in Con. gress, hoa been hunting up the truth of this roputod history of the superior value of this irredeomable papor of the Bank of Venice, In nrocont specoh by him on the national finances,—one of tho ablest delivered in oither ITouse of Congross,—ho relates the actoal faots, and wo commond them to the caroful consideration of the greenback and other people who have swallowed tho story of tho wonderful irrcdesmable money of tho Bank of Venioe, bolluving it to bo true, We print so much of the sposch of Mr, Bunou- ARD a4 velates to this monoy of the Bank of Venico, and thoe reader will find it to ba of intereat. ‘ ‘Thero oro two fundamental crrors in {he popularly-aocopted, history of this bauk, as told by the advocates of a permanent and irredeemable paper ourrency. 1. The bank crodits were not jrrodeema- bla; thoy wera redeemable in coin ou de- wand, and at the two perlods whep the bouk susponded specio payments,—that is, refused to pay coin in redemption of its credits,—ita. paper sunk below par. 2, Tho failuro iu tho matter of finances’| 2. Tho bank dealt in colnof a higher stand- +ard than thatdn general usn, Tho curront coln wan vory much doprociatod by long uso, clipping, and othor expodionta known even nt that timo, Tho bank received oll coin by welght, and not by ito nominal or current valwe, It gave tho dopositor eredit for the actual valuo of the cvin in tho standand ducata, The bank ducat, therofors, counted 20per cont moro than the ordinary ducat in curront use, In like mnnner they paid out ducats . of the standnrd valua, A bank eredit for 100 ducats wasworth 20 per cent moro than the ourront silvor ducats, which were 20 per cent below the legal standnrd in volue, It was tho samoasif o bank in Olicago should roceive grobnbaclks at their value in gold and give the dopositor neredit redoomable in gold. In thls ensa tho bank credit would Lo snperior to tho greonbacka to the extent of the greator valuo of the gold. The Bank of Venico rocolved all kinds of coin ntits aclual value, computed by woight and purity, giving credit therofor, and on demand paid out ducats of tho samo standnrd value. As the standnrd ducats wero 20 per cont morg valuablo than the dobascd ducats In ciroulation, n bank eredit for n given number of dueats was worth 20 per cont moro than tho®ain ducats in use, It will Lo naen, therofors, that the bank ot only fodeomned ts paper in coin on de- mand, .but redecmod it in sinudard coin; and, whilo an ordor by ono man on another might bopaid in the debased but enrrent duonts, A check or a bank.certificate wns cor- tain to bo'paid in coin of the standnrd value. It is ensy, thorefore, to understand why the credits of the Bank of Venice, 5o long ns rc- deomnble in coin, wore alwaya at par, aund why thoy, being redeomsblo in ducats of lawful purity and weight, shonld bo wort! 20 per cont more thau the debnsed current coln. This explauation of the real opera- tious of tho Bank of Vonico but verifien the oxperiency of all nations, that nu irredeema- ble paper curroncy cannot ba inaintainod at par, and that no legislative or other govern- mental authority can roverso this inoxozable law, BAM OARY'E NOMINATION, There appears to be a row In the Inflatfon camp touching the nomination of 8ax Cany for Vice-President.
