One hundred dollars in gold would buy $109.26 in groenbacka at the close. It might be supposed that the result of tho trinl of Arexanpen Sunurvan for thoe murder of Franots HaNrorp was to boe de- termined nt the outset of thio case, judging from the atubborn fight between conngel in the solection of jurors, It is manifestly the onrnest desire of State's-Attorney Rzep to obtain & jury made up of intelligent, re- spectable citizens—n jury competent to sift tho avidence and render n just and fmpartial verdiet in nccordanco with the Iaw and the facts, and it is cqually obvious that the dofonse fntend to avoid as far ns possiblo the danger of too much intel- ligenca and respectability on the jury. In this endeavor thoy are ably seconded by the rulings of Judgo McArrisren, who practic. nlly holds that no man who has read tha uewspapers and in this way formed an opin. ion coucerning the ease is compotent to sorve a8 & juror,—nlthough the Supreme Court hias decided and tho Logislaturo has enacted direetly to the contrary. Under this extraor. dinary test of competency but a singlo juror was obtained yesterdny, anditis to be ex- peoted a large number of spocial panels will be exbausted before twelve men are found who are sutilclently ignorant or illiterate to come within the rula laid down in this easo. THE “CHANGE” THAT TILDEN WILL Have those who propose to vate for Troen under an imprension that **a change” in tho wmanngenient of the Government may pro- duteo some guod over asked thomselves, What are Mr. Truoex's political antecedents, and what will bo tho change effected? A faw fnets may throw some light on this subject, Mro TruoeN is now between 60 and 70 years of nge, nnd he began hia political carcer ns long ago as 1830 or 1831, in defense of the doctring of Htates' Rights nud State Sov- eroignty. Ho was then in that circle of politicians which wns known ns the Albany Tegency, in which Van Bunex and Mancy, aud the other founders of the spoils system of politics, were londers, That Regency was the predecessor of tho Tammauy Socioty. Frowm that day to the present, as an intimatoe of ono or the other of the Societies, Alr. Twoes hes fourished aud blossomed as o politician, Tammany Hall has been con. spicuous in American politics, and conspicu- ous for its low standard of isorals. It is the only political club that hes ever had any permouency in tho United States, and it bos been held together becanse it hny denlt in politics corraptly, its object belng the plunder of the pablic, For twenty-five yenrs Mr. Trioex lins been tho active officer of New York Democratic politics, and Tammany Hall has furnished the candidates and furmshed the votes out of which Tizbey has organized victory, Undor T'oexN's sgency Tammany Hall, not- ing on the spoils system of Manoy, has stead. ily prospered until when exposed it was dig. covered to bo tho'monstrosity kmown ns Tweedism. Democratic politics in Now York under Tupes and Tammany Hall has for many yenrs beon & thin veil for publio robbery, It lina made tho debt of New York City 125,000,000, the most of which, it is now known, was stolon. Its crimes have inclnded forgery and perjury ; it hnsincluded election frauds in overy form; the stufling of tho ballot-boxes, the forgery of registra- tion-books, tho voting of fllegnl votes, the suppression of legal votes, the manufacture nnd forgery of election roturns ; tho eloclion by these monus of men to office who woro really defeated, and the exclusion of men who wera honestly clected. It lins domoral- ized ond corrupted un army of people, who, abandoning all honest lubor, have adopted fraudulont polities iu tho pay of Tammany Hall us & profession. Tn the War, it turnel New York into a Rebel city, and ''atnmany Jlnil uud its 80,000 to 100,000 tollowers un- der TiLoen's command was kept from open robellion by the prosonco of n large force of troops and o srquadron of naval veasels, ‘'he example of "amnny Hall hes produced a widesprond evil through the land, Bxcited by the success of ity corruptions and its wnormous plunder, liko organizatjons have beon attompted in all tho other cities of the country, to the groat loss of tho publie and corruption of local politica. 'There s hardly a city in tho country that has nothad ita local ‘Tummany Hull and its loeal T'weros, work- iug under the general direction of sume local Tiroex, This hus beon Mr. Pnoen's political life, education, ussociation, and practice, in which ho ling stood without a rival. It re- quired o wan with Wis peouliar genfus for trickory and deception to muintain the pow- er of Tammany Hall, despite its notorions frauds, unbroken. Notwithstanding the ex- posures of ‘I'weEp and hin associates, tho power of that political organization in Ty~ ex's hauds is ey absolute aud sweeping s ever, . It ia now proposed to elect NiLoeN and transfor him and Tammany Hall from New York to Washington, Ts thnt the * chiange which these voters desirs to bring nbout by slocting TiLpen President, Do they wish to make the corraptions aud rnh\mrlcn and the frouds which bave marked Now York poli- tea during Truven's thirty yuars' mannge. ment natioual? Do thoy wish to havo the Government of the United States pass into the control of Tammany Hall? Nor s this the only result of the change proposed. Tiznex is tho candidate of 'Pemmany 1inll at tho North, Ho is also the candidate of the “8olid South™ with its demand for $2,000,000,000, in compensation for the cluima of the Bouthern people for damngos from the War, "Tho combinntion of Tam- | many Hall aud its legions of thiaves with the people of sixteen Btules who have claiw= for two thousand millions of dollars, a large share of which thuy can afford to divide, is ominous. 'The electlon of Trnex will trans. for the ngeucy of these claims, backed by tho Bonators and Ropresentatives from six- teon Btates, to Washington, where Tammany Hall will be in full operation, ‘Then will come o national domoralization such as haa nover been witnossed, A simplo majority vote in each ITouse of Congross can vote the whole suin of these claims, and can vote the ndditlonal greculincks and bonds with which to poy them. 'Phe New York practice of bribory—the plunder equaling $10,000,000 for ench required voto in Congresa—will be inangurated on o mognificent scnle, Money will ba divided by tho barzrel, The plunderof ‘I'weep ond bis wssociates will sink by com- parison into contompt. ‘The whole Govern menty in all its departwents, will bocome a {HE CHICAGO den of plunderers such as has never dis- graced any nation at any time. ‘Two thon- aand milliona of dollars, backed by the Solid Sonth and Tammany Hall, both officered by the grent chief who has manipulated all the political erimes of Now York fora quarter & century, This will bo nchange; but is it the chango for which men at the North who are to live nndor such a Govérnmunt, and who aro to pay tho taxes to mest theso claine, desiro to briug about ? Doos any portion of tho people of the North, who complain that during the last fow yonrs, there have beon wome cases of officinl dishonesty which hava been exposed and punished, desiro to transfer Trnoey and Tammnuy Hall from Now York to Washing- ton, thero to mect and unite with the Solid South, and obiain from a Domocratio Cougress, Cabinet, and President, the distri- Dution of $2,000,000,000 of greenbacks and bonds? One of the great complainta has beon that for sixtecn years the Democrats have had no share in haudling the vast sums of monoy incidontal to the exponditure of n long war and the management of a publio debt. But the election of Titoex will com- pensato for all this, A singlo session of Con- gress will suffice to passa bill distributing among the managers of Tammany Hall and the people lately in rebellion Two TnOUSAND MILLIONS o¥ poLuans, This is equal to the whole natlonal debt, and will oxceed nny ox- penditure mnde by nny nation in the world in nny one or even in mony years. Itisdou- blo the amount of the indemnnity oxacted of France by Germany ; and this plundor of the nation is tho grent mensure on which Truoen is to receivo the vote of the sixteon States whose peopla hold Yheso claims, Think of Tommany Iall cstablished at Washington, nod o distribntion of two thousand mill. ions of dollars dependent merely on tho vates of twenty-flva or thirty Northern Dom- ocrats, Think of the ‘‘change” which abnudons the Governmont of the United Btates to the control of Tammany Hall and the “Solid Sonth " for such a purpose, Is thia tho * change” which these people want when thoy propose to vote for Tw.bey, that now men may have control of the Govern- ment ? THE EOUTH CAROLINA PLAN. A white native of Bouth Carolina hins com. municated to the New York Zribune n stirring desoription of tho condition of that State since tho campnign commenced, which sheds a flood of light upon the so-called South Osrolina plan by which the Uonfedor- ates and White-Liners propose to overcome the Republichn majority, and earry the State for Tioex and Wapx Haspron. His lottor is 8o long that we havo not room for it en- tire, and the most;that we ean do is to repro- duco the spirit of it, and give o fow of its snlient points, Only four short months sgo perfect quiot roigned in South Carolina. An honest re- form Governor wns in power. From the very day that ho was installed, Gov, Cmax- DERLAIN carried out thorongh reforme. Hia Administration was entirely impartial. Ho chocked the dopredations of the Legislaturo, Ho romoved corrupt officers without fear or favor, and placed good men in their positions. He reduced taxes and purified the courts. Heo brought about con. cilintion betweon the races. In fact, he placed Bouth Carolina upon her feet, and apparently the people of Sonth Carolina woro grateful to hitn, The negroos trusted him. The honest Republicans sus- toined him. The old Southern aristocracy dined and wined him, and treated him to their hospitality, The Democratio lenders assured him of their support. The Domo- cratic pepers promised to advocate his re- nomination and re-cloction. All this was only four montla ago. Now Gov, Onamugn- AN is denounced by every Democratio stump-speaker and every Domocratio nows- papor as the torruptest of the corrupt and ‘“n carpot-bagger of the carpet-boggoers,” although the Governor has changed in no particular of his policy or his administration, How was this effected? The change be- gan with the holding of the Democratic Natlounl Convention, The Mississippl Plan bad provionsly worked well in overcoming the Republican majority in that State, and, after the Convention had mnde its nomina. tions, it was set down on the Democrntic programmo that the Mississippi Plan should be put 1 operation all over the South to solidify its vote for Trmpex., When this policy was mndo known, the firn-eating and secession eloment of South Caroling was clted with the hope of ‘Tmoex's success. ‘The nnrratorsays: A ray of hope dawned on them, Thoy heard of B Hiw dofending Andersonylllc and Jerrzison DAvis In the Congress of the United States. They saw HSoutherners once more Itfting up thelr heada in tho Natfonul Capital. They could hardly trust thelr senses, And then they louked nround them; oll the Southiern Ktates were once more Domocrat- ic, oxpent South Caroling ond Loulslans, These Btates ulono had Republican Glavernors and negro Luglelatures, They alone hiad tiot thelr STreirxs. ¥s, Gonvoxs. Lasans, Iuis, and Procron 1inotra in Congress, Then they reflecied on Mis- alvalnpi—tiow her 40,000 uegro majority had buen traneformed into 30,000 Desocratic mnjority by the uro of the shot-gun and revolver, It wus trua that they had boen relieved from oppresslon; that tuelr confesscd debt to their Iteform Governor was yot unpaid, and thut white they supported hiw, as in the paet, thers wan no dunger of misgovern. anont. But should they rest content with thin? ‘Why not got the wpper hand at kome, and then Toake a desporate attempt to solzo on tho reins of power at Washington? ¢’ ‘Violont Democratic papers were startod at different points. Conservative cditom wore removed to mukae room for fire-eaters from other places, ‘I'he Fort Monltrie Contenntal was made the ucm&lnn‘b! the organization and arming of the Confederata soldiers by companies, over whom Wape Haueron was placed in command. The cld firc-eaters vopidly came to the surface, umong thom Gany and Burwen, srislocrats, duelists, and socessioniats, Thoy headed the secession oloment, and they commenced poving the wny to the Democratio tate Convontion by inaupurating raoce-conticts at' Edgefiald and the horrible massacre at Hawburg, Tho Missisaippi Plan was started. As Gov, CramseruaN wonld not bo a party to such'a plan, Gany and Burien monipulated the Conventlon, and, although Gov, Oxaunen- LAty was stendfastly suppored by the re- ‘spectable element, they succeeded in nomi- nating Waoz Iasrton by a small amsjority, but it was sufficient, Then hell was organ- jzod. Rifle-clubs were formedall over the State, aud placed under tho ganeral command of Burrxn. Raoce-vontlicts begsn, Ropublican neotings wero brokenup, Negroesworekilled by White-Liners aud masked bauds of Ku. Klux., This policy of preference and pro- seription was innugnrated in all the large vitles, aud the uegrues were fompelled either, to prowmtse to voto the Demoeratio ticket or be doprived of the means of paking a living; in the rural districts, it was cleaper to kill them, because the probabilitles were that the massacres would not get: futo the publio prints and find their way to the North, In this work Wanx Hameron Was a convenient susitiury, What he knew of the Mississippi 'I‘RiBUNE: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1876 Plan may bo acen by this writer's description of him: WADE 1Astrrox I as mnch a Minsissipplan ana South Carolinian.

Now the War took fratn him tbo bulk of his proporty, Dut #o miuch remained after all his losses that hio fa at thia day the wealthiest man in the Southern States, Moet of hils proporty now, howeser, is in Misals- sippt.

The similarity of the methods em- ployed by the Democrats In the canvaes golng on hiere now, with stanrron s thelr leader, forces ina to the concluslon thut the experiment s to be ro- veated liere. ‘What hina been the result of the Mississip. pi Planin this unlappy State ? What prog- ress lias Wane Haneroy made in solidifying Sonth Carolina? Wo will let this writer tell : On every green and public square the clang of muskets can be Leard, as parading infantry ground theirarms, From uvvery old fleld rings ont threat. cningly the note of e bugle or the booming of the Oeld-piece, as cavalry and artiilery perform their cvolutlons. Tho dopots are crowded with cases of firearms, ordered from the Norch, The stores can- ot aupply the domand for orms and smmunition, and every gunsmith in the clty and blacksmith In the country is repairing ditapidated weapons. No oue {seeen on the streets without n repester or nifle; nnd not a day passes In town or city but that the quick and ecattering reports of gunaand platols, uecdk on targots in the vicinily, would lead n stranger to suppoeo that a ekirmish, If not o battle, was in progresa around him, Nok is this all. In every purt of the State there are mionater open-Alr political mass-meetiugs, Theso mectinga are fol- lowed by torchilght parades, or preceded by pro- cesstons of riflo clube, cavalry, artillery companics, and civiliane marching to the sound of inartial musle. The speakers, invariably mastor-splrits of the Loat Canse, arlee and deliver tho most vohemont nddressos, denouncing tho Itepubliean Administration and the Repubilcan party, State and national, and calling on thelr hearers to rlse. How do Northern mon like the picture? ‘What do the Union soldiers nnd the loyal men who supported the Union in the days of the Rebellion think of this picture of the Solid South? Wo commend to them tho facts prescnted by this man, who is not a Republican nor a carpet-baggor, but a native of Bouth Carolinn, whose name cannot even bo priuted in. connection with it, for fear that e might pay the penalty with his life. TIs it not timo for a Solid North before every- thing is lost? NATIONAL INDEBTEDNESS.

The savings bank spstem of the world is the subject of nn intoresting report by the Italinn Burenu of Statistics to the Btatistical Congresa at Budn-Pesth. The savings bank is modern. Tho first institution of the kind was opened at Berne, in 8witzerland, in 1787, Theo first in the United States was fonnded in Philadelphin in 1818, 1In 1872 there wero in Europe 9,000 savings banks, more than Lialf of them in Grent Britain, and holding o quarter of tho total deposits of $1,100,000,- 000. 'Threo yenrs later, in the United Btates, thero were less than 700 savings banks, with %850,000,000 of deposits. 'Tho United Btates Lins the heaviest nmount of savings doposits ; England follows, and Austria witl, Hungary comes next, Denmark has the largest per capitanvernge of savings,—about $28 for ench inhobitaut. 'Tbe United States and Switzor. lond have 22 ench; England, Germnny, and Austrin have 810 for every inhabitant ; ond Italy $5. Holland puts little faithin save ings bnuks, and in Russia proper there wero in 1872 loss than 84,000,000 of savings de- posits. The only European institntion that is a8 Jarge ny the largest American banks is the Viontn Bauk, which Las $$40,000,000 of doposits. The daposits of the Calsse @’Epargue at Paris declined from $14,000,- 000 in 1840 to 8,000,000 in 1875. 'Fhe Borlin Bauk~% monopoly—had at tho close of 1874 only $4,000,000 of deposits, In England and in France the deposits are in- vested in Government seourities; in other' countries bonds and mortgages ara favorite investments; but in Norway throc-quarters of tho savings deposits aro in commaerciel paper. = THE MOTH THAT CORRUETED. It was tha celebrated Inveatigating Com- mittea presided over by Hrmster Crysmn that hit upon the exnot spot where the moth corrupted and the thioves broke in and stole. Thoy struck upon it when they let daylight into the moth-oxtorminator bureau of the ‘War Department, * That investigation, it was mysteriously announced, was to exterminato whole lhosts of Republican ‘corruptionists, The further the Committoe investigated, tha more corruption did they unearth, It was cstoblished that tho moth-exterminator did not exterminato the moth, und that, notwith. standing, the consuming moth had pretty much the run of the entire Olothing-Supply Department of the War Office and reveled in tho ruins of bluo uniforms, It was os- tablished also that the moth-exterminator that wouldn't extorminate moths waas sup- plied ot a prico that would hiave made it choaper to have thrown away the nniforms to bo progerved than to have sprinkled them with the exterminator. It was further catablished that tho contract by which 8408,876 was paid for tho exterminator from March, 1872, to August, 1874, had been ob- taiued by bribery. And thereon Mr. Cry- mer’s Committes, with awful circumstance, propared to catch tho bribe-takers, They went down & littlo further after the moth that corrupted, and they eaught one of them, tho bribe-taker, nnd, one aud all, thoy hove o heavy sigh whon they discovered t was not a Republican, but that eminent ijournalistio roformer, Doxn Piatr, whoso share of the steal was exactly $22,084, In. deed, so inteut wero they upon catohing a Ropublican in it that they dug down to the bottom of this moth-corrupting steal, and who did they find but the great Democratio ‘War Goneral, who was to have put down the Tebollion and prescrved slavory, and brought baok the erring sisterhood with a shopherd's crook, a8 it were,—Geonar 1, MoCLELLAN, And they investigated no more, and with bated bLroath they hastened to bury the moth-corruption all, and to sod it over, and to floo from the apot. But, despita that, the fotal focts got out. The following lotter from Grorox A.

Having singod the wings of Doy Prarr, after having siuged thoss of poor Panpuevoy, upon woorching MoOrerraw, Mr, Cuyaes's Com. mittoe went ont of the imoth-dxterminating business in which they wondrously outdid the original moth.oxterminato: Nearly all the Domooratic exchangs papors we open sot down California in the Confed- erate column of States, No particular ‘res. sou {8 given for so doing, and it sevwms ta be more from forca of habit thau anythiug olso, The notion that Tiroey will recsive tho Electoral vote of California probably has its origin in tho split that ocourred in the Republican party last year, which gave the State to tho Confeds, but that broach is Lealed up cowpletely, The Republican party was never better umted or more deter. mined to win than they aro now, Wheu the Republicans have atood together they havo uearly always carried that Btate. In 1871 there wns o very exciting raco between Boor (Rep.), and Hatanr (Dem.), for Gov. ernor, with this resull: Tinori (n:p\\lfllcnng. atunr (Demacrat). .. Ttepnblican majority. 6,001 The next year (1872) the GneeLey party broke down and made no contest, not poll. ingtwo-thirds of their vote, and letting Gnant get 18,002 mnjority on a light Republican turnout. The next contest was in Boptom. bLor, 1875, whon the Republicaus divided into two bitter factions of nearly equal utmn?lh, and fought out their internccine quarrel to their henrts' content. The Democrnts, of courso, swopt the fleld, electing throo of the four mombors of Congress, thoir whols Btato ticket, and a largu mnjority of tho Legisla- ture. But, by adding together the vote cast by the two Republican fnctions, it excoedod that of the Democratic vote by something lika 5,000 on the Congressionnl test aud on the averago State ticket. On the State ticket tho fairest test apponrs to be on Lieutenant. Governor, which was as follow Jonxsox (Dem. ). Pacurgo (Ind, Rep. ) Cavis (Heg. Rep.i.. Ropublican majority.. 5 On some of the other candidates it was more, aud on others less, but the genoral averngo exhibited n decided Republicon ma- jority in the B8iate, We think Onlifornia ey be set down for Havrs and WierLer by 0,000 to 8,000 mnjority. It is not more like- Iy to go for TrroEN than is Michigan or Min. nesots. Tlhe Républicans will cast not far from 76,000 ballots for Haves, and the Con. feds cannot bogin to equal that vote. 02,881 620 The kitclien eabinet which S8amuew J, TILDER a8 Governor of New York maintains about him indicates what style of men will bo taken into his councils in caso of his electlon to the Presi- dency, Foremost among tliese s D.

Ie is now cditor of the Elmira Guzette, which paper was lately owned and: controlled by Twznp, Joux C. Jacons, s notorlous member of the Brooklyn ring, is another member of TiLDEN'S kitchen' cabinet. After Lim comes Attorney- General Famncmigp, *Little CuanLey,” ashels styled, distingulshed cqually for his Incompe- tenco and his superscrviceability, Epaan R Avaan, the Beeretary of the New York Demo- cratle Committee, and author of the' fraud by which Bzyaoun was nominated, is another. Mr. Avoan is chiefly dlstinguised as o professor of poker, in which he ranks necarly as high as that other eminent reformer, Joux Monnissey. During the War he was o Licutenant in the One Iundred aund TForty-third Regl- Janent of New York Volunteers, and was court-murtfaled and dismissed the servieo for desertlon, Licut.-Gov. Donsiueiser, who de- serted the Republican party beeause his clalms were iguored, and whose swindle of the Govern- ment in his mileago account as District-At~ torney has already been exposed, completes tho list. Banronp E., Cnuncu and Democrats of lis stamp, men of Lrains and character, are Jealonsly excluded from' TILDEN'S councils, ‘The members of his kitchen cabinet are obscurs men all,—nover heurd of outalde the dirty pool of Now York politics, sud whose quallfications are Hudted to & knowledge of Tummany tactics and readiness to carry these out.
