'This sceming conteadiotion can only be ezplained throngh Jar Gourp's influence over the coluns of the Now York T'ribune and his friendly relationa with Mr. Braive. Novertheless, it looks like a mis. tako for Mr, Bratse to rest his Presidontinl aaspirations for 1850 on a systematic nntag- onism to Oivil-Servico Reform, and espe- cially to placo himself in the handsof Jax Govutp, S8ILVER AND GOLD AS MONEY. ‘When tho issue of legal-tender paper monoy in quantities to **meot tho wantsof the conn. try,” and redeemablo only in bonds, thom. golves payable in the paper moncy, was vehemently ndvoented, thero was a sirange and incomprehensible dnilness which did not permit thesa mon socing that the greater tho issuo of an irrodeemablo paper monoy the Rusichuk to Shumla disclosed to him tho nataro of the Dalkan lino of do- fense, nnd also tho fact that 50,000 Tarks nro lying in idlencss, ' until the Russinns, wearied by long marches, shall ‘e unablo to withstand tho charge of such a body of fresh troops, Evidently thoe corre- spoudent has extrnordinary facilities for prosocuting his researches, and his promised lotter giving oven fullor dotails of the forti- fleations at Bhumln will bo awaited with interest. groater the doprecintion in tho valne of tha whole amount, The discussions of this snb- ject during the last four yoars have resulted in mnking that fact known to oven the most reckless Greenbackors, Tho country just now is witnessing an equal exhibition of either dullness or faleity npon the subjectof silver; the ndvoeates of on exclusive gold curroncy are obstinately insisting that tho more silver currency that in fsaued tho groater tha- dopreciation that must take place, and henco to issuo the ‘elary o flottering notico of Gen. Gmaxt's Jdent Guant’s views with referenco to the withdrawal of tho bayonot and gunbont silver dollar and make it o logal-tender is to tnke the risk of running silver dollars to n lower value than over was ronshad by greon- Dacks, Could there bo greator ignoranco or groator misvepresentation? Thero iu n wido differenco botwoen an irredeemable paper monoy and money mado of silver. Tho pa- por in the paper dollar has no intrinsio valuo; the valua of tha papor dollar deponds upon the probabilities of its redemption and tho amount of coln that can be obtained for it from speenlators. Tho . silver dollar hns, on the contrary, an intrin. sio valuo. For several hundred yeoars tho relative valuo of sflver and gold has fluctuated between 154 to 16 parls of silver to 1 part of gold. Until within loss than two yenra the valuo of silver has ruled at 153 parts to 1 part of gold. The Americin dollar ' weighed 412 grains, nine-tenths of which was pure silver, which weight for hulf o contury was in proportion of 16 parts to 1 part of gold, making the silver dollar of greater valuo than the gold dollar, One of the usos of silver is for coinngo in monoy. ‘Tho goneral discontinunnce of silver ne money would, by abolishing its grontest uso, reduce the demand for the metal, and thero- by reduco the valno of the metal. If tho use of gold for colnage wns universally dis- continued, the liko abolition of its use and reduced demnnd for it would in like manner enuso o fall in ita value. Tho two metals having in nll agos furnishod tho world with material for its money, they have maintained subatautially an unshaken relative or pro- ‘portionato value. : Tho abolition of tho silver dollar, and tho adoption . of au exclusive gold currency by the United States in 1873, and the adoption of a moasuro for the domonotization of sil- ver and the adoption of gold by Germany, forcod tho Latin nations to limit, temporari- 1y, their silver colunge; andall theso circnm. About thirty.three milliona of-fractional silver has gono into ciroulation, takidg the placd of tho dirty, ragged, grensy little froctional shinplasters, It isa legal-tendor for debts of 5. The Custom-House must tako it for tariff ducs for sums not exceed- ing that amount. Tho Government redeoms small bond.coupons with silver. It is very popular chango, nnd people aro glad that clear, bright coins have supersoded the shin- plastors; bat they eau't understand why no ailver monoy larger than a i0-cont pleco is coined ; why silveris not a legal-tender for debts over ®3: why tho dobt.paying povwer ia restricted, and who instructed Con- gress to restrict it. ‘These arc points that hava not been explained to the publio satise faction. Tax Trinuxe's correspondent at Bucharest tolegraphs that tho fighting nt Rustchnk and Glurgevo was begun by the Russians for the purpose merely to occupy tho attontion of the Turks and provent the sending of re. inforcéments to other’ points whero tho Russinn movonienta wora in progress. “The ruso bnd the desired offect, ns the nd. vanco into tho Dobrudscha, the cross. ing at Gaolatz, and the preparetions for crossing ot ‘Hirsova and Oltenitza wont forward without interruption.

THE 8T. LOUIS BANK FAILURE. Tho lutest statements that have emanated from tho Comptroller's exnmination of the National Bank of tho State of Missourl would indicato that the present‘Administration muy find another opportunity for reform fn the flagrant violations of tho Natlonal Bank act, ‘Fho national law {8 na thorough and com- proliensivo as auny law that could well be de- visod which dopends upon the honesty of hu. man kind, and from prosent indications overy important prohibition of the law for the protection of depositors seems to havo Leon violated in tho case of this as of many other Lauk foilures, ‘There is a provislon that the total liabilitics of any person, firm, or corporation including the linbilitios of all individunl members of guch flom or corporntion) for wounoy borrowed of tho bank shall not excced 10 per cent of the capital of the bank; yot it ap- pears that flva of the Bank Dircetors liad borrowed ovor $1,000,000 of the bunk funds, and ench one is indebted to tho bank from twice to five thnes 03 much as tho law- ful lability fixed by the law, - ‘t'he law ro. quires that all debts on which fnterest is past duo aud uapaid for a pericd of six months shell ba considered bad dobts and doducted from tho assets; nnd yet tho bank was care rying an individual indebtedaess to it of over $215,000 (four or fivotimes a3 much as could lawfully bo loaned to uny ono porson) since 1669, on which intorost was mot pald, but tho debt and interest tickots carried as cash asaots, ‘The law forbids that the stock of the bavk shall bo necepted as collatoral se- ourity for loaus, yot such utock scoms to lavo been corricd os ocollateral long cfter it bad become worthless, and iu ono cose a dobt of §102,000 has beon carried for ton years (tho maker of the noto being decoased) with 1,000 of those bank ghares ns collateral. "Tho law requircs {russtatemonts, provides romody for impairinent of capital, und fwposes au osthupon overy Dircctor that he will not knowingly violato or willfully purmit to bo violated any provisions of the law.
