The people of Vancouver's Island are con- sidorably agitated on nccount of the general supposition that the Dominion Governmont g practically abandoned the schems of a Canadlan Pacific Railway, the westorn tor- minus of which bad been promised to the Island. On the occasionof Lord DurrriN's rocent visit to Viotoria he was waited upon Dy & deputation of citizons, who presented an address sotting forth the grievances of the Province in the mattor of the raile road project. Lord Durrzamv declin- el to roceiva tho eddresses, but re- ferred the petitioners to the Orown, A good deal of feeling is mnnifested by the Islnnders, and there {s open talk of m sopara- tion from the Dominion uuless the railrond in built according to the original agreemont. The Toronto Glole, epenking with authority as a Ministerinl organ, denics that the Gov. ernment Lias abgndoned the Pacific Railroad project. The gamblers who *‘work"” at the New York Stock Exchange evidently fear ono of two things—either that the people are going to get hard coal cheaper, owing to the free competition likely to be nllowed by renson of. the present quarrel of the monopolists, or that n dog-in-the.manger policy of the most destructivo character in overy economical aspect will be instituted by the infuriated operators in previous high prices, Yestordny the stock of ono participant in the disorgan- ized cabal (tho New Jersoy Central) was lowered in so-called value over 20 per cont, and o general decline of about 10 per cent wns marked agoinst the socurities of the rest of the antlracite cor- porations, Any shutting up of the great fucl-fountains of America for any length of time, ont of spito, and under the lying and disphanous plon that it is an wnproductive industry, should be opposed with that hoy- tility of public sentiment which, though not easily arouscd, ia nearly omnipotent when once contred upon offending citizens, The Court-Ilouss stona contract question wos decided yenlerday by the County Board in favorof the WarLrER-McNEIL combination, —at least, it was decided so far as the Board I8 concerued, though it is altogether likely that more will ba heard of the matter through the Courts before the contractors chosen yesterdny onter upon the enjoyment of the fruita of their victory, The rights of tho city authorities to an equal voice in the adoption of n uniform plan and the selection of materinl have been wholly ignored by the Warxzr-McNem combination in the County Board, and it is bardly to be sup- posed that this state of things will be endur. ed without resistance,—more espocially ng the belief very gonernlly provails that & cor- rupt Ring hias boen formed for the purpose of plundaring the tax-payers in the Court~ House job, If the subjectof a Ring had nover been broached, no one could rend the proceedings of yesterday's session of the Board without being forced to the conclusion that n porfeot understanding exists between the Warxen-MoNew, concern and the eight Commissioners who voted solid for the mn. jority report. Mo other inforence is possi- ble. < THE PROPOSED INTERCONVERTIBLE BOND, Mr. 8am Cany and his * grand national rally " to ratify the nomination of Coorrn and Cany wero most complotoly eaptured by a bullionist in disguise—n very wolf in sheep’s clothing—namod Lawnexce, who en- trapped them into unanimously adoptinga resolution which includes a provision for the most snmmary resumption of epecie poy- ments, the most rapid contraction of the outstanding ourrency, and the most com- ploto retirement of il Government and Na- tional Bank paper money. 1lis resolution rends as follows ; Hesolred, That a committee of twenty-five, rop- resenting the Natlonal Independent party of the Unlited States, bo appolnted by the Premdent of this Conventlon after its adjournment to adiress letters to Sanver J. TinneN and Rurnxuvonn B, 1iaves, eoverally, asking of cach whether, if he shall be elected President of the United States, and it Congress shall pass o bill to remonetize silver at ita former standard, ke will by hle oficial actlon provent auch bill from becoming a laws also, If in case Congress shal) pass a LIl providing for a Goy- ernment paper currency for circulation among the people, and geadually tetire sl corpuration and bauk currency, moking such Goverument paper currency o full legal-tender, and inferchungeable with Government reglstered donds at such rate of gold tuterest as will make the enrvency of equal calue icith cotn, he, us President, would elyn auch bill or would feel at liberty, ns President, toveto the same, and thua defeat the will of the people, 8y expressed through thele constitutional repre- sentatives, and thus practically deny that ours [an Government of tha people, by the people, and for the poople; ond that sald Comnittee Le requented to causo wald letters to bo lald before sald candls dates, nnd published in newspapers, and cause thelr replles, when recelved, to bo also published. Or, In case no replies nre recelved within a reason- able time from elther or both, to canso that fact Lo be made generally known to the peaple, There is a goad doal of verbinge in the res- olution and some things of small significanca, As to tho remonotization of silver, neither Mr, 'PiLoey nor Mr, Hayes will be likely to have an opportunity to sign a bLill for that purpose, for tho simple resson that stch a Lill will unquestionably bo passed auiong the first measures of the nextsessiun of the pres. ent Congress, and it will be signed by Gen, Grant boforo hie gaes out of office, If not, there s no question but Gov, Ilaves will sign such oLl as anact of justice to the American people. Au rogards the proposed rotiring of the National Bauk curvency, the proposition did not come np before tho Re- publican Convontion, and Gov, Hayes will not care to arvogate to himself the privilego of adding to or tnaking from the Ropublican plstforn. As Gov. T1LDEN way himself the framer of the Democratio platform, and did not choosa to jusiort any expression on his topic, aud is known to be strongly in favor of the Natlonal Banks, ho will probably not accommodate the followers of Coores aud Cany with a reply, But the real point of interest in the above resolution is, that Mr, Lawaexce proposed and the Greenbackers, including such shin. ing lights s Bam Oanry, Syoner Alyens, Moses Frewp, Lew 8tewanp, Hostoy, Turrs, Little Caueuoy, cte,, unanimously approved & resolution providing for the instantancous funding of all paper currency, und the deil. nito aud finsl restoration of coin as the ex- clusive currency of tho country, Lawnexce's proposition, it must be romombered, is a very different mattor from tho Kevcey inter- convertible greenback bond schems, approv- od by Coorxts and the inflationists genvrally ; that is merely a vehiclo for an unlimitedissue of paper monoy, exchangeabls iuto paper bouds, with interest to bo pmd in paper aud priucipul in paper, and the paper nover to be redecmed in coin or anything except paper. But Mr, Lawnence's resolution con- templates the funding of greenbacks and National Bauk notes (beeausa they are to be tukon up by greenbacks) into ¢ Governweut THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: IFRIDAY. AUGUST 23, 1876. registered bonds at such rates of gold interest na will make tho currency of egual value with coin,” The most uncompromising resumptionist aud the most confirmed bull. fonist bas naver yot had the andacity to pro- pose so summary n method for roturning to specie paymonts, aud the objection that will be made to it by the hard.money men is, that it will ocension too sndden and violent contraction,—n curious objection to como from bullionists to any proposition mnade by the rag-Laby dilutionists. Dut this is the fact, ‘Che resson for tho sudden aud certain contraation that would occur is that an obli- gation bearing 6 per cent coin intereat is alwnys moro valnablo and desirable than nn obligntion which boars no intorost. Under certain cirenmatancos the bonds themselves might be used to considerable extent as a currency to supply the vacuwn created by the sudden rotirement of the whole volumo of paper currency, but Mr, Lawnence and the Greonback Convention have even pro- vided against this by exacting that these gold bLonds shall be registered. In one word, it {8 a funding schemo to get rid of the Government curreney. A bond that could bs kept constantly at par in coin, which is Mr. Lawnevce's re. quirement, would hiave to bear at lenst 5 per cent interest in gold. There are times when 4} per cent would be sufflcient, and the & por centa would be at a promium in gold; but whenever currency should grow scarco nothing less than 5 per cent would keep tho Londsat par. Now tho suction power of & por cent gold interest-bonring bonds, into which greenbacks conld bo converted at par, at the will of the holdor, would bo so great, that the Government could not print and is- suo greenbacks fast enough to keep them from being thus converted. 'The only way in which the Government could put out now greenbacks would be by paying them out for tho excess of Government cxpenses over re- ceipts, and then the receivers would imme- diately convert them into the gold-bearing bouds ; so this process would be merely ndd- ing constantly to the intercst-bearing debt of the Government. The interest-boaring debt would be immedintely incrensed to the antount of the greenbacks,viz.: §370,000,000. Tho Nntioual Bavk notes nro to bo with. drawn by this schemo and their placo filled with greenbacks ; the latter in turn will run into the proposcd gold bond and stay there, ‘Theso conversions of currency, amounting to 700,000,000, will require $95,000,000 of gold to pay the interest on the iuterconverti- blo bonds. The romainder of the national debt will require coin to the amonnt of $85,000,000, or for both purposes $120,000,- 000, which is $20,000,600 more than the present interest. And right here arises a difficulty which was not explained by any- body in the Convention from Cany to Cax- xnoN, including Lawnence himeelf, and that is, How is the coin to Le procurod by the Government for the payment of coin intorest on the convertible and other bonds? Ac. cording to the platform of tho Convention, poper is to Lo a legaltondor in pay- ment of dutics and nll other taxes to the Government. How, then, is it to obtain the 120,000,000 of coin aunually? 1f it sells bonds for the coin, it will add $120,- 000,000 a year with compound interest to tho debt. If it issues greonbacks and sells thom for gold, they will instantly be con- verted into bonds for tho sake of the gold intorest thercon. Here is & dilomma which none of the wiso men attempted to explain. Tt is certainly na simple, quick, and offective away a3 could possibly be devisedfor gotting rid of the last dollar of greenbacks; and, under its terms, any now greenbacks the Government mnight issue to meet a doficiency of the racoipts from the expenditures would simply be roturned at once to tho Treasury to be converted into & per cent gold bonds, 1If peopleocensionally reconverted their bonds into grocubacks as quickly as they paid thein out, back they would go into bonds with all the force of gravity which draws substances to tho carth's surface, Whilo this would be the quickest way of getting rid of the greenbacks, wo do not be.+ liove tho hard-money Democrata or Repub- licans aro in fayor of so reckless and de- structive a scheme of contraction, and wo suspect that Mewsrs, Lzw Srewarp (Domocratic candidate for Governor), Cany, Caxrenoy, Frenp, Myers, Hooroy, and others who unanimously indorsed this sweeping contraction proposition on Weduesday, will protost and denounco i before it can be carrled out. THE NEW YORK NOMINATIONS. Tho New York State Ropublican Conven- tion, which was one of tho best and most reprosentative Convontions that has beon hield in that Stato for many years, dld itself erodit and has brought material help to tho general ticket in the nomination of their groat War-Governor, Epwiy D, MoroaN, Ono of the most satisfactory reusous for his nowmination ia the Democratio aversion to him, Tho LiLpey men of Now York did not want lim nominated, and the fact that they did not want him is tanta- mount to an acknowlodgment that thoy are atleast doubtful if thoy can beat him. Un- der the circmnstances, tho Convention ncted prudently and discreetly. ‘I'ho real struggle in the Convention was betweon the ConxriNg men, reprosented by Converz, nnd the auti- Coxkuixe mon, ropresented by Evans, It bocnme sppuront, however, at an early stage of the proceedings that it Conxerr were nominated, he would ba beaten and would also swamp tho general ticket. ‘The Coxxring mon were too inimicd to Evants, howorer, to voto for him; and, as an anti. Conxuina man conld not get it, the only re- course left was compromisc, aud the com. promise resulted in the unanimous nominn. tion of Mr. Monaa, after Evants had ro- coived o very handsowe and complimentary vote. The record of New York's famous War. Govarnor, both as a politician and a patriot, is so familiar to the peopls of this country that it hardly nceds reference. Io served two terms in the United Btutes Seuate with distinguished nbility, snd conferred more than ordinary Lonor upon his Btate, Io was one of the spousors of the Republic. an party, From the time' that Apma. uaM LiNcorN was st nomiuated for the Presidoncy up to the present time he was Chairman of the Republican Natioual Counnittee, and lhas rendered tho porty eminent service in that capacity, e was the fivst Republican Gov- ernor Now York ever had, having been elect- ed in 1858 over Pamxkm, Democrat, by 17,440 majority, His record as Governor wus 50 satlsfactory and so comuended him to tho peoplo of his Htate that thoy re. elected him iu 1860 by sn immousely-in. cronsed vote, he receiving 03,460 majority over Keruy, Dowoorat. 1n that portion of his Guberuatorial service which was within tha War period he ronderod invalusble aid to the Union cause, and strengthenoed the arm of the Governmout with matorial help ut b very opportung time. Ho zudsed, ftted ont, and rent into tho fleld immonso loviesof troops, and was indefatigable in sustaining and supporting the Government ot a time when TtrpEx was conspiring with the Cop- perhenda to throw overy possible obstacle in the way of tho Government and to hinder the success of the Union troops, T8 Adminis- tration commanded universal respoct and mnde his name illustrious all over the coun- try. Even his most bitter political cnomics round no room for eriticism, except in the fact that he was nssisting the Govornment in putting down the Rebellion, and was largely instrumental in its suppression. As n poli- ticinn, he has never borne thereproach of be- ing a mero partisan, As a statesman, he has proved himself sngacious, able, clear-sighted, and comprehensive, As n patriot, his works spenk for lim, His personal record hns Leen that of a pure-minded, dignified, and honost man. In his long public aud private carcer no spot has rested upon his character. It it is within the possibilitios to carry the Stato of New York he will do it, and it is cer- tainlymoro than probable thnt his nomtnation will matorially strengthen the national ticket in that Stato, . S ———— o, THE STENCE NUISANCE. ‘Wa presume the Citizens’ Association will scarcely make itself responsible for the re- markable document issued from its hond- quarters and signod by Issao ATrinsox and J. O, Axoren, which in in fact little elsa than o report whitewashing the stink-producing rondering establishments, Thero was but one greater folly which these two gentle- men could bave committed, and that was to report that no obnoxious emell issues forth from Bridgeport. ‘There inferenco seems to bo that the stonch is caused by the fresh offal and animnl refuse which is oxposed be- foro it goes through the rondering process, and from the filth, and garbage, and sloughs of Bridgeport. Of coursa all this tonkes some local smell, but if this were the stench which renchos out for miles and sprends over the entiro southern portion of the city, itis obvioug that it would be experionced at all times, in daytime as well as nighttime, But it iz a motter of comnion notoriety that the fonl vapor of which the whole city {8 complaining is driven by the wind in great clouds or strata in tho night, lasts for o certnin timo, half an hour or an hour, and then disappears, ‘I'hat is, it lasta just ns long as tho process lasted of blowing off into the nir the foul gascs of the rendering tanks of any particular establish- ment, ‘T'his is the occasion of it, aud nobody kuows ic better than tho propriotors ‘of the rendering establishments who pulled the wool over Mr. Axnrer’s eyes, The sugges- tion that the rendering Louses unite in Jo- enting one grand co-operative cstablishment out in tho country some 20 miles is imprac- ticable, and it would be unnecessnry if not so. It is unnecessary, because thesa gases may be purified or consumed before they are cmitted into the air, cither by n process of condensation in cold water and ranning them off into tho sawers, or by first purify- ing and then burning them for illuminating and leating purposes, as Mr, Tunxen does quite uccessfully and cheaply. This is the diroction in which Dz, MoVickax should turn his attontion, and the investigations must bo pursued at night in spite of the comfort of the citizcns and henlth-officers who have un- dertaken tho job. In fact, there has Licen investigntion enough, It is known nbsolnte- ly that the intolerable stench of which tho publio at large complain comes from tho gases emitted in all their foulness from tho rendering tanks, It is known also that thoso gases may be purified. Tho thing to do, therefore, is for Dr. BMoeVicrar, ns Health Comuissioner, to issue » peremiptory order to all the rendering houses that these gnses must be deodorized befovo they are omitted, and thon to use his own subordinates and call upon the Mayor for the assistance of the polico force to compel obodienco and punish those who rofuse to abide by it. COUNTY EQUALIZATION. The Committea on Equalization of the Counuty Board are holding scssions to correct errors and hear complaints. Among the othor businosa before this Committoe are the unnsunl complaints that a long list of banks and other corporations, and some hundred or more citizens, have boen nssessed too low. This complaint hns been made by somo ¢lorks or othor employos of the county, whether at the Instigation of tho Couuty Commissioners or not wo canuot say, The persons accused of being assessod too low have been notified to appoar. The allegation made ie a genoral one that their property has been valued too Jow, and the Committes have adopted tho rather novel practice to require them to disprove the nllegation, 'Thae soction of the Revenune law under which this pro- caeding takes places is the following : SEcTioN N7, The County Doard, at o meoting to bo held for the purpose . . , shall . . . Second—On the application of any porson con. sldering himaolf aggrieved, or who shull complaln that the property of anothee Is wascosed tao low, they shall review the assesament and correct the same as shall appear to bo just. No complaint that another ta aseessed too low shall be ncted up- on until the purson so arsesicd, or his agent, shall Ve notided, it & restdant of the county. Tho publivhed list of assossmonts of the gevoral banks and other corporations, unex- plained, wonld leave the reader to under. stand that the nssessments wero very low, In somo instauces this way be the truth, But the fact that the assessed valne of the eapital stonk of the corporation is but n frac. tion of tho actual capital of the concern does not necessarily moan that the assessment is too low, For inatanco, n bank or other cor- poration, with n capital stock of 250,000, gy heve the whole or a large portion of the capital invested in real cstate. ‘I'ho real es- tate is taxed at ity value, nud to Lax the eapi- tal inveated in the real estato in addition to the roal estate, would be gross injustice, and wonld be n violation of tho law n heretoforo administered by the Stato Board, There are soveral banks which at the timoe of the panio had largo loans on renl estate ; insatisfaction of these loans thoy hinve had to take real es. tate. A lInrge port of their capital is, there- fore, invested in property already taxed. The Committee of Equalization, however, claim that the complaint having been mode, they must assunio that the complaint is true, and proceed to iucrenso the asscssment ac. cordingly, 'They insist that the corpora- tions shall, by proof, nogative the mero statoments of tho cowmplaint. This the corporations refuse to do, and there is & prospect of a large crop of lawsuits, Wo suggest to the Committeo that u mero goneral aceusation that the property of any person is asscused too low, unaccompanicd by auny proof, does not ralse & presumption strong enough o require the person to dis- rove au nssertion which may bé made from malice or othor purpose, Nevertheless, wo suggest to tho various corporations and indi- viduals who are thus accused that thoy make defense, o far o4 to oxplain how their copital is invested in property otherwise taxed, sud Liow they are entitled to u credit on the veluatious, Ia the abseuce of such explanations, and in tho absence of any ovi- donce of iuvestigation by the County Board, the assessment as it stands will go to Spring- fleld, and the State Board, taking these com- plaints ns trie, will not hesitate to add the 0, 0, or 100 per cent to the wholo valua- tion of persounl proporty, and perhaps as much nore to (hat of the ronl property. It the County Bonrd, with all the facts bofore it, then arbitrarily exorcisen its powers, that will bo o differont thing, The time and place to make explanations aro now, and wo have neo doubt that the Committes, which is a re- spectable one, will act justly in the premises. THE GAMPAIGN IN TENNESSEE, Theve are tidings of good omen from Ten- nesseo—n quarter whore littlo was expected that would holp the success of the Repub. lican national ticket. A correspondent of tho Cineinnati Gazelle, writing from Morristown, in that State, givesbis reasons for believing that Enst Tonnessce will give Haves and WreeLzr 10,000 majority, regaining the ground tho Republicnns occupied in 1872, when they gave Frzrstan, for Governor, 10,584 majority, Last 'Lonnessce has thirty. four counties. In 1872 there wero Repub- licnn majorities in twonty.saven of them; in 1874, the Democrats had majorities in twonty of them. ‘Tho result of the recent election proves that the Republicans are regnining their lost gronnd. The ofticial returns from eleven counties show a Republican majority of 4,712, Theso eloven counties in 1872 gave 4,614 Republican majority, but in 1874 they rolled up 636 Democratio mnjority. ‘Fhere are Arome very good reasons for this chaugo, nnd two very strong ones. The first of these i the loyalty of the Enst Tennessce- ans. During tho War they weras loyal to the Union, and thoy fought and suffered for it. ‘Thia correspondent snys : Tho peaple of the North have never glven Last Tenncsecenns credit for as much as they deserved. Sccing that they had to take a purt in the great utrugyle, thousanda literally cscaped from thelr Rebel pursuerd by crawling on thelr hands and knees through the Rebel pickets stationed south of the Cumberland Mountains, on thelr way to join the Fedoral army, And thoy now votu us they fought, The thoronghgoing Republicans of ta- day, who wera voters previons to the War, were generally Whigs, Many Democrats wero Unlon men, but since the War have preferred to call themeelves Democrats, and have acted with that party. A portlon of them, however, have been pleaged to call themeselves Conservatives, and have not always acted with elther party, and especially not alwaya with the Democracy, who are come poscd, in great part, of ex-Iebeds, . ‘Thoro is another strong reason why "Wen. nessee will poll a strong Republican vole in November. 'The nomiuation of that Satanic Rebel, Ismanxt G. Hanni, as tho Democratic eandidato for Governor, lins borne the frait that might have beon expectod. It has not only roused an enthusinsm among the Republicans, but it has disgnsted the Con. sorvatives who in 1874 went with the De- mocracy. It will cost the Democratio party hundreds if not thonsauds of old Whig votes, The fact that his nomination aroused such n storm of public indignation that he was com- pelled to withdraw has not lessencd that indignation in the least. 'The loyal people of Tonncesce know that Ismaxt Q. Hanms wans the most numitigated traitor in the wholo South. 'They bave not forgotten that his influence in tho border States wag more mischioyous than that of any othor socessionist. They have not forgotten that ho was not drapged or forced into the Rebeilion, but that he was a secesslonist from the outsot; that when ha deserted his people and went over to the Confedoracy ho stolo all the coin in the Stato Tronsury and carried it off with him; that wheu the Rebollion was crushed ho went to Mexico and sought to establish n Confedor- nte colony thero. IIis nomiination wasanin- sult to every loyal man in Lennesseo. It ‘was a notification that this man, who repro. Honts rocession, robellion, and treason, is also tho reprosontative of I'rLoey and reform. Rememboring nll theso things, they bronght o pressure to boar which forced him off the ticket, and with this warning before them that the Rebel spirit cannot be kept within teusonnblo bounds, they will go into the can- wass with the enthusiastio dotermination to vote it down. THE DEMONETIZATION ACT, In the dobate during the last dny's session of Congress on the resolution appointing a Commission to investigate the silver ques. tiongMr. Kasson, of Towa, opposed tho re- turn tosilver, and defonded tho act of March, 1878, demonetizing it, The history of that bill was largely disclosed. There was a bill pendiug before the House, which cvidently could not pass. Mr, Hoorkn then introduced & new bill, which he moved as a substitnte for the ponding bill, There was n demand for its reading, which was rofused, and under tho rulings of the Spenker this aubstituto was passed without having beon road or printed. The only débato allowed wns & question by Mr. Hozaray, who asked ITooren if the bill affected the coinagoe of silver, and Hooren auswered that it did not. Inthe doboto n week ogo, Mr. Ioraray declared that * the subject of coinngo was not supposed to bae in- volved in the bill, and the mensure, as passed, was never read in the House.” Mr. Fonr, of Illinois, debated tho question very ably, and, among othar thingy, said ; AMr. Four—And the subatitute was not read, 1 charge it here, unth I am otherwive convinced, that it I3 probable that at no time was the queatlon evor discunsed before the Senate or House; and waa pansed fn tsle House in loss than twenty mihntes after it was brought in, without time or opportun!- ty to learn Ite provislons. And I wish further to romind my frlend that, no matter what he may clalin ue huving happened here, the people were not conaultod ahout the matter. T would remind him that, wo far as | cun learn, not & slngle news- paper in tho United States ever udvocated any snch mcoaure. And If he knows of » slugle paper that ever hinted at snch a thing, 1 now pause for him to arisoand name it. And I would further remind my friend that no public assomblage of the people over va resolyed, nnd that no public speaker from the stump or elsowhere §u this eutiro country cver advanced uuy such proposition; und §f he knows of any sucti 1 now pause for him to mention the oceaslon. Ay, #ir, the poople never dreamed that any such (hiugs were happening, that sucha stupendous wrong was belng done to them. Sir, no question fnvolving eo many milllons of dullars to the country has beon tranafurmned Into law slnce peare mado tho great war-loans unncces- aury, And yet, os1claimand bellove, it was not openly and fully considereil; sud not over one in & thousand ever know of the mischievous act until stariled by its discosery when the Revised Statutes were published. And for onu T demand In (he name of the people I reprosent, thut the law shall firit bo relnstated as It was, und then It will be tino ta constdor whethor we should appolnt a learned Commission to consider the relative value of gold und sliver, My respected friond from lJown (Mr, Kassox) has sentto the Clerk's desk to havo spread upon tha record a document prepsred in Londan, aa § under- stood b, 1 do not care to take lesvons n tnonce from such teachors just now, Thclr Interests sro not our Inferes Mr. Speaker, 1sald the other day when I ocen- cupled tho foora few minutes upon this question thut the hlutory of the vepeal of that venerable law handed down to us from the fathers nuglt never Lo written, snd sume may wivh thut It never would Ve, 1do not beliove my friend from Iowa (Me, Kase wox), ever did know anything about it except what ho hay stated here; but, sir, if the Alstory of (his repeal shall scer be fuliy written, I fear i uill Lo JSound that @ cerlaln English geatleman, resldent of London, wue the author of the scheme, Iknow nothing abont the malter of my own knonledge, and o not state It ag a act orin any iway vouch for t, but @ Informed (hal this representatize of our credltars in London came to Washington, spent (he winter heve, and was in close counsel with the anthor of thla repral, anit in all proLalility he drew the section of the bill Kimeelf The money tords of London ammanded and wo in humility and e sllence howed Tow and obeyed. {Cries of it le so SOMETHING FOR SOLDIER3 TO READ.

In the Dem. ocratio Convention held at Tweddle Hall, Albeny, on Jau, 31 and Feb, 1, 1861, Mr, TILDEN was o member of the Tammany del. cgation.

Tho Albany Feening Journal calls atten- tion to a very romarkable spectacle, and ono that has nover been presented beforoin o Presidontial canvans. It will be remembered that, n fow days boforo Congress adjourned, Mr. Kassox sraigned Tinpey in the House for his unpatriotic record and his hostility to the Union during the War. Monnwhilo it was publicly known that Troex and May- ToN MannLe were visiting TiLoes's brother at Now Lebanon, N, Y. When Mr, Hewirr, Chnirmen of the Domocratic National Com- mittee, rose the next dny to reply to Kassox, he presentod the following telegraphic dis- patch from Mansrz in evidenco of Trnoen's potriotism: New Lenavox, N, Y., Aug. 156.—70 the Ion, A, 8.

Kassox having impugned thio record of T'rupex for patriot- ism, not one of his friends can remember an instance whero he supported the Union. Tho Housa was full of Democrats, Hewrrr, Cox, Beene, Woon, Ery, aud other life-long political frionds .were thore. Not ono of them knew of n patriotic or loyal act of Lis during the War, ‘The Chairman of the Domocratic National Committeo has to telo- geaph to T'rupeN himself to find out whether ke was a supporter of the Union and whether ho was really patriotic when the country was in peril. Do the peoplo of the United States propose to clect n man to the Presidency whose patriotism is so doubtful and ohscnro that his most intimate frionds never heard of it, aud that no one Lut himself can tell any- thing aboutit?
