It is full of telling points and convincing arguments, and should bo read by everybedy, A compendium of crop information, com- piled by the Illincia State Board of Agricul- ture, and giving tho facls concerning the pield and prospocts of corn, wheat, onts, barley, otc., throughout the State, will ba found in our columns this morning. The Cape May Conferense, composed of delegates of the two great bodies of Motho- dists, the Chum}ms North and Bouth, have come to an understanding on the question of onion, the basis of which is published olsewhere. Tho Church will thus sig- nalize the Centennial yenr by the grand con- swnmation which has for years been dovout- ly wished and laboroed for, Themon who control the anthracite fuel supplics of the country are filling the news- papers with balderdash about mining at a loss, nnd, under this false protense, will immedi- ately throw their miners out of omployment and agoin wait for famine prices, It is this modo of operations that bas Lred so much crime in tho coal regions and mado that un. happy country n second Tipperary in its im- placable hatred of the landed propriator. tho recent check of the advancing "Turks, is sgnin in the nscendant, nnd Princo Minan will continue the contest with renewed vigor. TcuerNavrrr, Commander-in-Chief of the Servinn foreew, nppears to be winning the confidenco of his army, 1le prowmises to re- take tho positions captured by the-Turks, and drive tho invaders from Servian soil. lussian sympathy aud materisl aid has + doubtless been instrumental in jnspiring the insurgents with new hopo of oventual inde- pendence, Tho journeymen stone.cutters of Chicago take a lively intorest in the award of tho stone contract for tho Court.louse, ns well they mny, sinco thoy aro deeply con. cerned that the contractor shall be bath competont and honest—u man who under- stands his business, and who willi pay his workmen, On both of theso grounds thoy objecet strongly to the Warker-McNeiu com. biuation, nud at a meoting lust evening they ndopted a resolution solemnly proteshing . agoinst tho nward of the contract to ocither of C these parties by the Board of Couuty Com- wissionors, Teports are at hand of warn work on the 4rail of the Lostile Sioux.

This muy prove to be & revival of the squaw's story of ton doys age, ns no ofllcial or relin. ble uccounts have beon forwarded of an en. gogement of this magnitudo or character, ‘Tho Chicago produce markets were mod. crately uctive yesterday, and the lending ones were onsier.

Hogy were iu good demand, and for fair to Lol Lesvy the narket averaged a strong Go higher, TLight weights wors firm at Tuesday’s prices. 'The cattle market was dull and wenk at 10@1%ic decline from Mon- dny's prices. Sheep were in demand at £3.00@4.50 per 100 1bs for poor to choice. Ono hundred dollars in gold would buy $110,75 in greenbacks at tho closo, In the ndmirablo resolutions ndopted yes- terday by the New York Republican Conven. tion tho honesty and consistency of Gov. TitpeN on the currency question are im. penched with great force and offect in that clause which calls attention to the fact that, while TILDEN, ns the Executive of the State, signed tho law establishing specie payments in thint Stato, and requiring all taxes to bo paid in gold on and after Jan, 1, 1879, ho, ns the Democratic candidate for Prosident, joins with his party in depriving the peoplo of Now York of the menns with which to comply with the law and pay in gold. Thia is an argument that comos home to the peo. plo of Now York, who hended the movement for n general return to specie payments, nnd now find TiLpen trying to block the road. They call this duplicity, and they evidently know their man and speak advisedly. The mass-meeling of tho Independent Greonbackors at the Exposition Building yosterday nttracted very little attention, and was a slim affair in point of attendance and interest. A party which could offer a circu. Inting medinmn made up chiefly of sherry cobblers nnd mint juleps might have gained a lorgo following yesterdny, with the thermometer marking i in the shade, baut to read Peren Cooren's tracts and listen to Sax Oanv’s loug-winded spcoch waos not a programme calenlated to excito enthusiasm onsuch a day. Tlhe only cool thing about the domonstration was the roception of old Lew StEWAnD, who seems to have fallon into dis- {avor with his brother-greenbackers. Tho old mnn was frigidly snubbed at the mass- meeting, and now that the Democrats are soriously discussing the wisdom of quiotly dropping him off their tickot, his chauces for evor being Governor of Illinoisare grow- ing vaguo indeed. Another of the strong men of the Repub- lican party was yesterday brought to the front to do service against the common ene- my. Now York's War-Governor, Epwiy D, Moroan, wns yesterday put at the head of the Stato ticket by the Republican Conven. tion at Saratogs, and the nomination was heartily indorsed by the Convention of Lib- erals in session the same day at Saratoga. Gov. DMoroan's strongest competitor for the mnomination was Wirntax AL Evants, who was presented and urged by Geonor Wity Curmis, and roceived o flattering vote, The withdrawal of Mr, Con- NeLL, however, hnd left the road open for perfect unity, and whon, on the first ballot, Gov, Monaax received far more thon the number of votes necessary to a choice, Mr, Cunmis was on his feot tomova that the nomi. nation be made unanimous, and it was done with a degree of sincerity and enthusiasm that proved how complotely the party had been barmonized. It will trouble the De- mocracy of New York to bring forward a nominee for Governor who can beat Gov. Moraax bofore the peoplo of the Stato, “I8 GOV. TILDEN A PERJURER1" The above is tho rather startling caption of an article in the Now York Zimes of Tuosdny; but the context of the article seoms fully to warrant the question, and cer- tainly calls for a direct auswer and satisfac. tory explanation from Mr. Tripex. When o man who is not running for President makes two sworn statoments that mutually contradict and oxclude one another, ho is generally characterized as o perjurer. As this is precisely what Mr. TiLdEN Beoms to Lave done in n cortain cnsp, the fact thnt he is the Domocratic cnudidate for President will senrcely reliove him from the same judg- ment that would be passed against an ordi- nary mortal, unless he possesses in a more ominent degreo than has yot been dovoloped the Democratic faculty of harmonizing con- trndictions, The case is & slmple one. The income tax was imposed from the years 1861 to 1872, and the law required overy ome to make a return of his incoms under onth, which good, loyal citizens did. Mr. Troen madea return of his income for two years only, and thereafter concluded it was cheapor not to do so, The roturn which he made for the year 18G2, aftor making the detailed statement provided in the formuls, con- cluded os follows : 1 hereby certify that the following s a true and faithful statement of the gains, proiits, or incoma of Sonike J, Titoky, of the City of New, York, and County of New York, State of New York, whether derived from nny Kind of property, rents, inl Qividends, valary, or fram any profession, trade, employment, or vacation, or from any other source whatever, from 1st day of January to A1t day of December, 1862, both days inclusive, nnd subject to an fucome tax under the Exciso laws of tho United States. Incomo from al! sources, 87,118, This roturn, of course, was sworn to ns provided by the law, and all that Mr, TiLoen paid & tax upon as his income for the yenr 1862 way the comparntively small sum of #7,118, Butin his nnswer to the lawsuit brought against him by the 8t. Louis, Alton & Terre Hauto Railrond Company, which ho has also sworn to, he makes the following stntement : ‘That for anch services the defendant TiweN made o charge of $10, 000 agn funt aalil second, ort- #age bondholderd, nud the salidchurge was pald, by and on behalf of sall sccond-mortgago bondhold- crrs, on the 17thof October, 18025 , . that the defendant TILLEK, for a part of hls services aforesand, also mude a chargo of the Mko aum of $10,000 on account of professlonal services ren- dered to the first-martzage hondholders and the Teceivers, which was pald 1o him Ly the sald Aza- man €, Frase, . ., andwhich payment ap- pears nnder date of Nov. 7, 1842, in a statement annesed to the first report nforessld, as having been recel pted forby the suld TiLLEN, *onaccount of professlonul servicew," Hero we have Mr, TiLoex awearing that in tho year 1882 (when ho swore his entire in. come subject to tax was only £7,118) he ro- ceived in a single case and from a singlo Company the sum of $20,000, or nearly three times ns much as he had proviously aworn to, without counting his other fees, salarles, dividends, interest, rents, or other income, Any thoory that the amount of re. ductions allowed by the law would bring his taxable income down to the low figure at which he returned it under oath seens to be dissipatod by tho fact that the total exemp- tions figured up by himself in Lis sworn re- turn for the year 182 were $06,562, De- ducting these exemptions from the aingle fee of $20,000, it would leave his net in. como for that year (not counting any other resources) 818,448, or moarly double the amount which le actually returned. Dut the fact that Lie Liad other re- sources, besides being self-ovident, seems to be sufficiently demonstrated by hie returning iuthe year following an income from divi. dends and interest (outside of professional fues und railroad jobs) the sum of $13,000, Tt was during the years that intervened be- twann 1K1 aud 1872 that By, Tisox is be- lioved to have nccuraulated the larger part of his vast personal fortune, which is variously estimated at sovern! millions of dollnrs. Dur- ing that time, though he mnde a sworn statement of his income for only two years 08 required by law, ho paid n tax on an aver. age punual income of only $156,000. Yet it was during this period that ho was ‘' gob. bling up "' railroads, drawing large fees from the Erle, giving the nssistanee of his expe- rienco and legnl advice to Oares Astes’ Credit Mobilier for a handsomo recompense, atl otherwiso storing up thoso *‘barls of monoy " with the ald of which he now hopes to reach tho Whito House. In ono transnc. tion he saya that ho nud threo nssociates made $284,000 in mortgege bonds aud $401,000 in stock of the Torre Haute & Alton Railrond. We know from tho testi- mony of Mr. Bavanp, one of his associntes in this transaction, that in the year 1870 Mr, TiLorN received one-quarter of $131,000 of tho first-morigage bonds with interest which had accrued thereon during the eight yoars provious. Was Mr, Tinpen's entire income only $15,000 for that year? "This is the statement of the caso on which the Now York Zimes bnsos the inquiry: “Is Gov. TiLoEx a perjurer?” Itis a question which, in view of the circumstantiality of the record, he caunot afford to ignore, It the circumstances are ny stathd, then the conclusions are inevitable {lat Mr. Tiwpey, who now comes beforo tho country as a patriot and reformer, falsified his fucome returns, cheated the Government out of the proportionate share of the War expenses lovied upon him, accumulnted vast wealth whilo evading the taxes that poorer but moro honest men paid, and finally con. victed himself out of hie own mouth by swenring to receiving in a single instanco more than he had previonsly sworn his en- tire incomo to be for that yenr, Wo should think the Democrats themselves would exact an explanation of this matter from their Presidentin! candidate, under the conviotion that the American peoplo will not elect to tho Chief Magistracy of the nation a man who is suspected of low and animal practices. Dnt perhsps not; so long ns TiupeN consents to use tho *“‘barls of monoy,” it may e that thoy will not stop to inquire any furthor. DEMOCRATIC FRAUD IN 0HIO. ‘The Domocratic party hnve felt the crowd- ing pressure of public sentiment, ond fully apprecinto the growing certainty that the TRepublican party will elect its candidates in November, and that the people will again discard and reject the Demooratio party. Desperate circumstances eall for desperate mensures, nnd the latost and most desperate of all the frouds ever attempted in national elections is that agreed upon by the Demo- cratio party and to bo exccuted by the Dem- ocrats of Ohio. This fraud is to makp the issuo between TiLpEN and Haves in that Stato on the snme grounds which were taken lnst yonr batween ALnex and Haves, Tinpex now to be lield up as holding the same viows ns Arresy did lnst year, A greater and more scandalous fraud nover disgraced polit- ical desperation, Wao yesterday published an authorized roport of an interviow betweon our corrospondent and Gen, 'Tox Ewixg, at Columbus, 0., on this subject, in which Ewixe bonstfully atated the purposo of tho party, and claimed that the frand would ena- blo them to carry the State of Ohio in Octo- ber nnd again in November. This measure has been agreed npon delib- erately, and we have no doubt with the full consent of Truoex and the managers of the party gencrally, Already, Old Winrmst Avvey has aonounced that Truoex's letter of acceptance is-n statesmaulike paper, in which he fully ngrees with the Democracy of Ohio in opposition to resumption of specie pay- ments, opposition to auy contraction of tho carrency, and in favor of the repenl of the Resumption law, and in favor of maintain. ing an outstanding issue of logal-tonder papor as will be equal tothe wants of the business of tho country. Old By Aniev is to follow up this declaration by his per. sonal appearance on the sturp in Ohio ad- vacating the election of Titpex becauso of his opposition to a réturn to specia pay- ments, and because of his support of the perpetuation of tho deprecinted greenback logul-tender notes, The Democratic papers of the Btate which favor rag-money are all taking the same course, The hard-money men and hard.money papers aro to ignore tho question of currency, and rin Tinpen on the fssue of * Administrative Reform.” Dut the rag-baby issne, on which tho Demo- crats lnst yenr polled the largost vote they over had in Ohio, is to be pushed ag vigorously ns it was in 1873, All the rag- money Democrits in the West are to be tirned info Ohio t§ pronch the cause of Trr- DEN, the great American Groenbacker, This fraud is marked by the cool deliboration of men intent upon success, regardless of tho character of the meaus omployed to obtain it. Could suything bo more remarkable than the coolness with which the Convention which nominated Ewine for Congress in. dorsod * the platform of principles adopted by the St. Louis National Convention as un- derstood by the Democracy of Ohiv, and as in- terpreted by the candidutes for President and Vics-President”? How the Bt. Lonis plat- form Is understood in Ohio is explained by EwiNe's speech, in which he said : 16tand on that questlon [the currency] on the letterof acceptance of that great statesinan, Saxuer J. Titnen, which sayn: **1t {n the dutyof the Government to furnish sucl amount of currency as the wanta of busiuess require.” That fs the Na- tlonal Democratlc doctring, and tiat 18 the Oklo Democratie doctrine, . Wo need not say that this is a total per. version of TiLneN's letter and of hia repeated- 1y oxprossed views, lere is the way Ewino interprets TinpexN @ But Mr. TiLoeN has planted hlnsclf squarely agninst the Republican sclieme of forced resump. tion. e also declares that o plau of resump- tion shonld be adupted which will disturb the businees of the country by reducing the volume of the currency beluw the legitimate demands of trade, Inwhort, Mr. ‘TaLueN favors Just that mode of re- sumption which we thio Democruta have always Jorored; and Ma declarations as to the volume of currency are juat those ire made last year. Tho fact fs, that the Democracy will this full make preclecly the tsus they did with Gov, ALLEN at the head of thelr ticket last fall, and will occupy the wame position preciwely they did then, and on that fesio vole for TineN, The fssuc can't be mnde anythiug clee In Ohlo; that fv the {ssuu with the people. We cau stand on Mr, Tin- DER'S letter of acceptance, and muky our fight unce cessfully, witbout retracting anything wo havo sald or favored. Mr, TiLpeN, in his letter, expresses he views of the Chio Democracy to a dot on tho questions uf resumption and thu repulation of tho volume of currency, The falsehood of this interpretation of TiupEx's letter of acceptauce is shown in the whole character of the struggle at 8t. Louis, where the New York delegation reso. lutely refusod Ewina permission to add one word to the currency resolution, which had been prepared by TiLoen himself, and where the distinct ground on which Tipen asked to be nominated wes that he favorod the return to specle paywments at the earliest posslble moment, and was in favor of tue completo saveranco of the Governmont from all paper monay, especially dopreelnted and irredeemablo notes. Now, what is it that tho Obio Democrats, and the Indians Demo- crats, and the Rag-Baby money peoplo gen- erally, want? Their plan is to wator tho currenoy indefinitely, reduce its value, mul- tiply the pieces of papor, reduce tho pur- chasing power of tho legal-tonder, out loosa from and ignore all coin values, and plungo the country hendlong into the bottomless sea of worthless, irredeemable paper. They want to renew the vast schemes of gambling, reckloss speculation, bond-issning, internal improvements, railrond building, enor- mous debts, to end in another col- Inpse, crash, general bankraptey, aud ropudiation. This is the plan whick the Olio Domocraoy last year struggled for under Ewiyo, and ArreN, and Pexovuerow, and which even Gen. HAves was hardly able to overcome and defeat. So perilous wns tho auceess of Anrey considered to tho welfaro of the country that even T'rtpeN contributed monoy from his own pocket to dofeat tho Ohio Democracy and eloct Iaves. To clim now that the Wall street at{ornoy, the ngent and adviser of tha capitalists and monoy- lendens of Now York, himself favors tho very scheme which n year ngo o treated and donounced aa political diabolism, requires a Lrazen offrontery uot known outside tho Ohio Democraoy. Tirpex in his letter of nceeptance in no instance permits the iden thint e favors the continunnco of dopreciated paper ono moment longer than it can Lo brought to par. His main effort will be to put the Government notes at par with gold, and he approves and indorses thnat part of the St, Louis platform which denounces tho Ttepublican party for *‘imbecility and im morality " in nothaving during eleven years of pence restored tho legal-tender notes to an equality with gold. 1ow to do this, how to mnke the greonbnck and gold dollar equal in value, TILDEN anys will be the immediate and enrnest offort of his Administration. On the contrary, the Ohio Democracy repudiato the policy aud theory of any coin values what- ever. 'Thoy insist on paper monoy excla- sively, and that that papor shall bo debnsed in value to tho utmost oxtent that it can be by increase of the quantity, Tiubey as Gov- ernor of Now York las approved an-not of that State declaring that no mattor what the United States or the States of the Union may do, that Btate, on and after Jan, 1,1879, shall receive and pny out coin exclusively, and that all contracts in Now York made after that dato, unless othorwise expressly provided, shall bo paynble only in coin. In the face of ol this, the Ohio Democracy proposo to ad- vocate his oloction ona platform identical with that of the Greenbnck party. They proposoe to repudiate Troex's record and his declarations on the currency question, and support him on what he nover said or intend- ed tosny, The gnme, of course, is to force o false, humbugging construction of the lottor of accaptance, in the effort to wheedle and swindlo tho Greenback peoplo into voting for Troexy under an assumption that he isa paper-money and anti specie-paying man. THE TURKISK HORROR. It has beon reserved for the Turkish cam- paign ngainst the Christians to develop the ‘most flendish atrocitios that hiave over boen ro. corded in the annals of warfare betweon civ- ilizod natious, The savagery of the North American Indians, the inhuman tortures practiced by the Proific Islandors, the cruel- ties of the 'Thugs, all' ave some shadow of excuse, since they are but a degree romoved from the brutes, and have never had their savage instinets reatrained by the influonces of civilization. The crnelties of the Turkish campaign, howover, inflicted by n nation os- tonsibly eivilized, aro not n whit less brutal and savage, whilo their butchery is much gronter, owing to grenter opportunities, “Whero tho Turkish horso shiall pass, no blade of grass shall grow,"” was tho bonst of tho early disciples of tho Prophet. Their de- scondants have more than fulfilled tho boast, for the Turkish army has not only destroyed crops, killed stock, and burned villnges, leaving a wide swath of ruin in its track, but it has also slaughtered gray-haired men, fecble women, and defenscless babes, 8o that it has left n desort in its rear whore denth and desolation nlono reign. At Philipopolis oand Adrianople, Bulgarian girlaare sold daily in the market-placo like eattle. Hordes of Circagsians and Bashi-Bazouks sweep throngh Bnlgaris, carrying off tho most beautiful children for the harems. 'I'he prigons aro full of Bulgarians, hnddled in so closely that thoy aro dying by hundreds for want of air and food. Priests aro crucified on the highway. Female school-tenchers are hauged on tho streets, Women are shot down after being outraged. Over ono hun- drod prosperous villages arve in ashes, and thousands of people are bogging bread. In Borvia thess lorrors nre repeated. ‘Theo London Duily Nees correspondant writes Trom the frontler distrlct hetween Nlsch nml Alexinatz come now shntlar tidings to those [ telo- graphied the other day ne having been sent by. Avngsvies from the western frontier about Bellina, Noman who Js not obstinately determined to be Incredulous can question thu trath of these atato- mients, Oflicers and soldicrs who come down from the front authenticaty them with tales of burnt vil- Inges which they have scen, the mangled bodles of childron Iying in the guttors nmong the charred do- Dria, headloss trunks of Servian soldlers In places where they had been fghting, men In the up-coun- try hospliala with noses slit by knives as thoy lay helpless from their woundy. ‘The Servian correspondent of the New York Times corroborates tho mbove, He writos : ; On the battle-ficlda, where the Turks have heen suceesstul, all the wounded have been mutilated, und by o refinement of craelty have been left to die fuagony, with thelr eyes dug ont, tholr lps, noses, and ears cut away, Nut only do tho freogutars, but the Nizams and the Redifs participate In these atroclties, and weeping women tell you how thalr innocent baben have been tossed into thu alr by theso rullany, to be Impaled upon the polnts of helr yataghany, ‘Through the whole Valley of the Nlsharva, iu the vicinlty of Nishs, not a priest or Chrlstlan teachier has been apared Lo perform relig- fous service at the funerals of the dead. Trom Bosuia comes the swme horriblo story of Lurkish cruclty, A Vienna corre- spondent writes to the Courrier de I'rance ; In the Villoges of Pervan und Timar 300 Chris- tians wera drowned after being tortured. At Pay- 108 twelve women were ent to pleces and thrown to the dogs. At ltatkiovo sixty children were stoned by the Turke, led by one Feciim Evessni, to avengo a relation of Maj, Stocavies Bigy, killed at elitna. At Hokoluva 180 young girls, taken from the nelghboring villagew, wers ponned In o fleld, und after the prettiest had boen pleked ot for the haromns of Fecuiy and Brocvics, the othiers were ahandoned to the soldiery, and wors vio'sted and murdered. At Maldan the Christlan population sasembled ot market were massacrod by a fonatical mob led by Havn Oxen Epresui and wnother functionary named Insauis Kunusovics Ada, The victims fn this case numbered 3,000, Tt is certainly a matter of surprise that all Christendom has not riscn, and not only de- manded that these horrors shall cesso, but also visited swift and condign punishment upon these Turkish monsters. For conturies thoy rulod these Christians with o rod of iron, simply because they are Christians, snd now they torture and kill them simply be- cause they nre Christious. Who s respon. sible ? Firet, tho Turks themaselvos; second, the Tory Government of Iingland. The English people are naturally humnne, but they havo beon kept in official ignoranco of tho facts. The "Wory Government hns ac. copted the er-parte, lying statement of Enm Errrnnt, who was ordered by the Porie to invostigate the outragos at Adrianople, not- withstanding the connter-statemonts of oyo- witnesses, of tho victims themselves, of Sor- vian ngonts, of the correspondonts of the English press, and of foreign Con. suls, and notwithetanding the disbeliof of his roport ontertained by every other Christinn power in tho world. The English pross hias taken o bold and manly position on the question, but the Tory Government has either refused to listen to its statomonta or hins denied thom, Whon tho matter was pressed home to it, the Ambnssador at Con- stantinople, an intense Turkophilo, was or- dored to sond an agont to Bulgaria to inves- tiguto tho truth of the chiarges. o seleoted a man who understands not a word of Bul- garinn, and, Leing o hireling of the Ambnsan- dor, takes all his opinions from him. Upon information furnished in such n distorted nnd dishonest mannor as this, the Tory Gov- ernmont Ling bged its infamous policy, Its hatred of Russin is too intenae, its' fear that in some way -its Eastorn polioy may be affoetad by a Christian triumph is too strong to allow it to protost against these Turkish Varbarities. England has but to speak tho word tunt will end thom. She ean riso in majestic wrath and sond her fleets to Afrien when one Congo negro is sent into slavery, but she is dumb when thousands of Ohristian women aro sold into n slavery a thousand-fold worso than African. She kuows that villages ave burned, that women are ravished and tortured, and little children ave killed by thousands, that the Turks nre leaving a desert of desolation behind them, and she knows that all theso atrocitics are perpetratod under the encour- agement of hor silenco, nnd yet will not spoak the word that will end them, because her Enstern policy may be affected. Rather than ond these cruelties, rather than como to the resoue of the Christians and drive the ‘Furks beyond the Balkaus 88 monsters anfit to live nmong civilized nations, the Tory Government prefers to appear bofore the world as tho apologist for Turkish cruolty and the champion of the Bublime Porte, notunted thoreto by selfish nmbition and hungry greed. Englishmen ‘aro naturally liberty-loving and humane. How long will it bo bofore they arise and remove this stigma by sweoping away this Tory Gov- ernmont ? PETER COOPER'S8 LETTER. The proceedings of the Greenback jam- boreo in this cily yestordny included the roading of a lotter from the venorable Peren Cooren, the Greenbrek candidate for Presi- dent, Fortunately, it is not s long as might Tiave been expected from former experiences, and in this respect it is o vast improvement over Mr, Truoen's lotter of ncceptance. Nor ig it tirosomo in the senso of elaborating the dotails of the peculiar sophism which Mr. Coorer represents beforo the people. This was loft for Mr, Sasr Oany and Mr, Cooren's pamphlets which he furnished by the thou- soud. This, it must be admitted, is a vory fair way of campnigning. If Mr. Cooren cnn make votera by any of his pamphlots, he is certainly ontitled to them. The old gen- tleman says o did not como to the meeting in person partly on nccount of the warm wenther, which is certainly a good excuse, and partly because thoso who do not know him might suspect him of election. acring. Wo do not think anybody will do him the injustico of suspecting this; since, notwithstanding his financial vagaries, he must be accredited with too much sonso to supposo for nu instant timt kLo will recoive & singlo electoral voto. Mr. Cooren's reference to Gov. TiLDEN ond his letter of acceptance is significant. Ho says ho waited pationtly in the hope that Tipex would so express himself as to war- rant him (Cooren) in rotiving from the fleld; ‘but that ho was dissppointed. This means that the Groenbnckors and Inflationists have boen looking, as s matter of fact, to the Democratio party for thoir relief. The dom- ngogues and tho unwary hiave professed to find a hope of this rolief with TiupeN and Henpnicks, but Mr, Cooren is too honest to aceent equivoenl nud ambignous generaliza- tions, which are all thiugs to all men, and he will rally around him as many honest Domocrats as actually bo. liovo in the potency of Greonbackism, and who would rather bo defented in sustaining their principles than bo successful at the sacrifice thereof. The principle iu not a very high oue, it is true, but dovotion to n creed, even though it be n superstition, is moro to ‘o admired than a protonse of npostacy for solfish purposes, Therefore those who rally around Cooren and Ciny occupy a more houorable position, after all, than the Green- back crow-eaters who have ngreed to swallow "TroexN in the hope that it may enablo them to attain the spoils of office. . ‘Thoro j8 Lut ono point in Mr, Cooren's lottor which is worthy of any special atton- tion, Mo saysethat Eungland was in o state of susponsion for twonty years, which proved to be the era of England’s greatest prosper. ity ; and that, when specio payments were resumod, there was n shrinkage in values, which ho quotes Bir AncminALp ALisoN as snying renchied 50 per cont. Now of those twenty years of suspeusion of specio payments in England somo twelve yenrs were during the European war of tha enrly part of this contury. Eugland re- simed in 1823, or eight years aftor the close of tho war; but uo schowme of resumption in this country hins contemplated a date carlier than fourteen years after the close of tho war, Aud there could scarecly have boen a shrinkago of values—by which we presume a sliriukage of pricos is menut—nmounting to 50 per cent, as English paper money was worth 80 per cont when rosumption wns at- tomptod. DBub that theso twonty years of suspension were **the years of England'y grentost prosperity " Is not at all sustained by the facts, England’s greatest commorco, Inrgest wenlth, most extonsive manufactur- ing, aud most general political liberty and popular education, have been attained sinco the perlod which Mr, Coorea doscribes, During the war nud the fow yenrs of sus. peusion that followod, there was probably the same delusive oppearanco of pros. perity in Englond as in this country from 1801 to 1873, though not na striking perhaps ns during the poriod of the Bouth Sea bubble and stock jobbing opora. tious to which it gavo a start. DBut wae have alroady Lad an cxporience with the pros- perity growing out of a war aud the issue of o largo mmount of irredoemable currency oven without the procoss of formal resump. tion. ‘I'he cnse may be likenod to a pro- longed debauch and tho process of sobering off,~—the longer the racovery of a norfual condition aud the abstineuce from stimn. lants is postponed, the more tryiug is the process. ‘I'he inferenco from My, Cuoren's atatement is that England shonld hiave gono on with its falso and pernicious stimulanta forovor, if it were possible; but as the phys- feal nature of the confirmod drunkord will not hold ont ngninst aleoliolia stimulants, so the excited, speculative, and abnormal dovel- opment of n peopls living boyond their menns, wasting their substance in war or in- vosting thoir wealth in unprodnotive enter. prises, cannot presorve oven an apparont prospority boyond acortain period, though it hiave cords of irredeomable currency to work upon, We have discovered this in our own cnso withput waiting for resumption, Of course Mr. Coorzn's thoorics of cur- renoy lond eventunlly to ropudiation. Io desires just ono kind of ‘ National Paper Monoy,” and no othor, which shall bo used to defray nll expenses of the Governmont. Now, ng tho payment of the interest on the bonded debt ia one of the largest items of Govornment expenacs, of courso he includes tint, and finnlly the payment of the debt itaelf, in this samo ** National Papor Monoy,” which, being monoy and National, is, of course, not to bo a mero promiso to pay but sotive payment. Indoed, under Lis theory, the Govornment would have nothing olse with which to pny tho interest on its debt nnd othor expenscs, because lio desires that this * National Papor Money " shall be ro. coivablo for all taxes and duties. It is usc- less to follow out the consequences of such a policy over and over ngain. Tho Groenbackers do not caro to look boyond their present delusion. Some of thom are lionest, and somo of them are not honest, in their fanaticlsm. We are in- olined to think that Perzn Coorer nnd thoso who are steadfast to him are tho Lonest ones, while Domocratic greenbackers liko Ewina, of Ohio, and thoso who have gone over to Tiupen for mero partisan reasons, are tho dishonest onos, But thero isn't much uso in nrguing with either of them; for those who aro honest are too fanatical to liston, and those who are dishonest do not eare for right or wrong, appointed by the act of Congress are good 80 far as they go, but they do not go far enongh. One clause of the instructions is to the effeot that the Sioux Indisus shall be re- moved at as enrly o day as possible to tho In- dian Territory, where they shall bo com- pelled to becomo self-supporting, dopending for that support mainly upon the cultivation of tho soil. This is sound policy so for as the Sioux are concerned, but it should be made to apply to all Indinus. Thero are mnow fifty-throe reservations dot- ting the ontiro country woest of the Missouri, from Minnesots on the north and the Indian"Territory on the south to the Pacifio const, These Indinns should all bo collected upon the Indian Territory reserva. tion, Thore are less than half a million of them all told. The Indian Territory is larger than the State of Illinois, and its capacity for agricultural production is about the same, It has a mild climate and is healthy. It is well ndaptoed for the raising of cattls, horses, and hogs, and corn, grass, and tobac- co can bo grown in Juxurious sbundance, If the Government would compel thom to go upon this roservation, deed ench ono of them o pleco of land, and then set them to work, instend of having them scatterod sbout so that thoy can roam all over the Westorn Tor- ritories at will, it would speedily find that it had armived ot the most useful nnd practicnl solation of the Indian question. Having the Indinns collooted together in one locality, it counld take care of them bettor. It would opon up tho country to settlement without danger from Indian depredations. It would obviate the nocessity of having forts every fow miles nll ovor this vast do- main, Upon general principles thore isno good renson why tho Government should food aud clothe an Indian who won't work ; at loast if thero ig, then tho samo renson will apply to lazy white men. 8o far as the prac- tien! and useful boarings of the Indian ques. tion are concerned, thero s cortainly no bet. - ter solution, perhaps thero is no other, than to collect them togother whora they can be kept togother, and then maka thom self-sup- porting. ‘The Eutern-pamrl still continue to discuss the Buntivan-IIaneorp tragedy.
