Whilo tho latters sre mostly chimerical and frequently wrong, the movemont will com- mand respoctful consideration if conducted, in the spirit of moderation and carnestness that characterized the proceadings last even- ing. Advices from Richmond (Ind.) concerning tho condition of Bounator MonToN are con- flicting. 1lis physicians aro represented as hoping for a speedy improvement, whilo his friends and rolntives are despondont. He wos much cssler yesterday thon tho day DLefore, and Wednesdny night he slopt botter than for some nights previously, During his illness Lia faculties have remnined keoen and bright, and the more sanguire of his sttendants prophesy a specdy rocovery from his malady. “ Intanso feeling,” na the Associated Press dispateh puts it, exists in tho little town of '\\’cswrvillu./‘ 0., ‘over the appointment of Mrs, CooorsuaLyL, widow of the late United Htates Minister to Ecuador, to the $930 Pout-Oftico of that retreat, An indignation wceting has been liold and resolutions adopted, in which the Westorvillains contend that their rights o4 froemen have boen trampled upon, sud demand that the old in- cumbont be reinstated. Tho objection to Mrs, CouaesiaLL scoms to be thatlshe is not au Olito man. - After aseries of long and gallant forced marches, Gen. Jlowanp has almost succeod- od in cotching up with Chief Joskea's band, approaching so closely, in fact, a8 to enable tho Tndisng to capturs o number of his pack sulmals and lorses. The savages number sbout 500, and until their arrival at Hole.jn- the-Rock tage Station they had sulfored ter- xibly for water, At the sfétion they de- stroyed all the property thoy could fiud and cut the telegraph lines, They are supposcd to be making their way towards tho Crow country on the Yellowstono, and Gen. Howanp is In hot pursuit, Only ono battle Dad taken place up to last advices, in which two soldiors wero killed and six wounded. ko Natlonal Board of Trado yesterday took its regular annual turn at the queation of trade reciprocity with Cauada, and ouco more declared by a very decisive majority that negotiations should at one be entercd upon for & revival in somo form of the treaty which was abrogated by the United Btstes in 1860, The report of the Cowmittes to whom the subject hod been referred contained a graceful intimation to the effoct that Benator Braive could do better in the way of accumulating political cupital by exerting himself to bring sbout intimste commercial welations be. tween tho United Siates and Canada than by indulging in the oratorical flight regarding 1nuexution which formed %o prowminent o ‘eature of Lis speech at Woodstock on the 4th of July, TLe cuble dispatches printed this morning furnish sbundant evidence that the period of inactivity which followed the recent Turkish successes in Bulgaria has given place to vig- orous demonstrations in several localities, and that a number of important engagements have been fought and are still progressing. Accouuts of results so far as yet received aro of the customary conflicting aud contradic. tory charscter, though it is tolerably clear that ths Russians, in theso instances acting .on the defensive, have in every cass sucgessfully repulsed the concerted attacks by the main armies and the detached columns which Onaay Pasma and Meaxyer ALx bove hurled sgainst them, andin the main have proved superior in strength. Tho ten Turkish nttacks on chipka Pass appear to have been repulsed Ly the Russians, who, thongh at o disad- vantage ns to numbers, were nble, by the strength of their position, to offer effective resistanca, The Russian system of heavy reinforcements has Loen carried on so suc. cessfully as to greatly strengthen the various colnmns, and it may be confidently oxpected thnt the Russians will turn tho tables and onee more assume the nggressive. It is evi- dent that a series of terrifie battles is near at hand, and that the campaign for the season is not to close without important resulta. A number of very oxcellent roasons are glven by the Governor, Auditor, and Attor- ney-Goneral for their action in vetoing the selection of Grand Tower s the sito of the Bonthern Penitentiary, TFirst aro clearly pointed ont the defects in the matter of in- sufficient clevation lo insure the requisito samtary conditions for a large number of persons confined within doors and debarred from change of air; and, in the same con- nection, the reasonablo npprehension of such aleight of water in the Mississippi River s would seriously interfera wilh the adequate drainago of the prison, aside from tha possi- bility of nctunl overflow. The objection to tha location with reference to its romoteness from any groat business contre would alone warrant its rejection, and the action of the Governor and his associate officials will be approved by tho people of the Stato nt large. The Russians are evidently profiting by their recent disastors, and have adopted dif- ferent tactics in their operations against the Turks, which promise to be snccessful, The Schipkn Pnss, which is tho most pradtical ronte from Bulgaria to Roumelia over tho Balkans, has been so strongly fortified by the Russians that they aro now holding it suc- cessfully, The Turks have made sovoral nssnults upon the position, each time with fresh troops, but each time have been re- pulsed with heavy loss, If they succoed in holding the pnss, as mnow looks probable, they will not only succeed in holding Buret- atax Pasha at bay, but they will seriously en- danger the communications of the Turks north of the Balkans, A still more impor- tant movomont of the Russiaus is that of tho strong cavalry force which is attompting to sover Osman Pasha's communications, If this should prove successful, it must force him out into the open flold from his in- trenchmonts, with tho probability that his army will be crushed by the Russians, Tho movement is & vory brilliant one, and may yot change the whole military aspect in Bul- garia, In nccepting the Democratio nomination for Governor of the State of Maine, the Hon. J, H. WrLLias ndministers a scathing robuke to the howling dervishea of the party press, as well astho Democratio Conventions which have *‘resolved” on the subject, for their factious opposition to President Huaxes and their clalm that ho is not entitled to his offico. Ho asserta that tho title was recognized and became valid by the decision of o tribunal in which all the parties and all the States woro ropresented, and to which decision the Represontatives gave their de- libernto assent. 'This is n sensiblo platform, and one that should commend itself to s fow pertinacious papers which, finding no cause of complaint In & singlo oction ‘of the President since his inauguration, have tortured themselves into o faith that he should never have succeeded to his office be- canse he is determined to exerclso its func- tions in o wise and moderate maonner, Mr. WirLiaus goos still further, and recognizes the wisdom of the Southern policy as laid down by the Administration, and holds it up to the admiration of the Democracy‘as o courso not inconsiatent with the doctrines and tonots of that party, In a word, his lettor is an indorsement of Prosident Haves and tho line ho has adopted, and is credita- Dble to tho political viows of the writer, 08 far s tho letter affects tho points mentioned. The most reckless public speaker in Ohio of nuy party, not excepting the blatherskite Saxt Cany, is Geonoe H, PenpreroN. In his speech last night ho declared that the nct of 1869 makiug the principal of tle 5-20 bonds puyable in coln *‘Lnd odded eight hundred millions of dollars to the value of the bonds in the hands of the bondholders, ‘and added that much to the burdens alrendy imposed upon labor " This is a most lying as woll as ridiculous assertion. There aro now outstanding $844,625,250 5.20 © “per cent bouds, Thereis no dispulo as to the kind of monoy in which the iuterest is pay- sble. Pexoierox will admit that it ia coin. It the Government was ablo to call in those 05-20 bonds, aud pay them.in greenbacks, the valuo of each greenback Would be 05 conts in gold; the saving then would be five cents on the dollar, or $42,000,000 on the entire mas¥, instead of $800,000,000, He cameo within 8748,000,000 of the truth. But per- hapa he includes the 5 and 4} per cent bonds into which o part of the 5-20's Lave been converted. They numbor about $500,000,. 000; Lut woald anybody in their sobor senses be willing to ohavge those bonds back into 5208 with tho understanding that the prin. cipal was to bo paid in greenbacks as fast as the Governmout had surplus rovenuo to ap- ply? It would bea very foollsh bargalu to make, as the ‘anuual saving of ooin in. terost is over ®$0,000,000 on this one lot of bonds, Tho only way by which the Uovernment could gain §800,000,000 by poyiug tho 5-20's fn greenbacks would bo to print of QEU0,0D0.000 of non-interest notes, and forco the holders of the bondu to sccept thom, and then never redeemn tho notes, Was this the schemo Gentleman Grosox had in biswind? It was some scoundrolism like that ho advocated when he was o candidato for Vice-President soveral years ago, His Kentucky rallrond-claim-ogent transaction, brought to light Ly tho Congressional in. vestigation about the timo of the BerxNar ‘ost-trader scandal, exhibited Lim as o man whose ideas of honor and honesty would be equal to the morality of paying off the publio creditors from the production of a job-press, J. Watson Wrns, mavy years ago editor of the whilom Courierand Enquirer, of New York, the man who was the cause of chaug- iug the name of the oLl National Republican to the * Democratio Whig party,” has writ- ten a long letter to the New York Z'imes, in which b claims to have discovered a method of moking greenbacks equal to gold at all times, Thisishis plan: - That greenbacke-~Treasury notes—shall be re« celved at tho Custom-House in puyment of all due ties oo imports, and in all business transactions, whether by the Oovernment orthe peovls. This slwple measare would very shortly plaze the green- backs on & par with gold, and uo other leglalailon 18 necossary to arrive at what s called specio-pay- ments. There are a good many thousand people in the West who will lay cloiin to the honor of inventing this plan many years before Mr. Wean broke it to an astonished world, Toying duties in greenbacks has been advo- ented in tho West by many persona ever since tho closo of tho War in 1865, The idea is considercd *old" out here. Brcmanay, of Indianapolis ; CasteneLy, of IaSalle ; Ewixo, of Ohio; H. Cr.ay Dray, of Town; StiLsoN Hurcnixs, of Missouri, hnve all beon pound- ing that' drum persintentiy and furionsly for s dozen years. 'Tue ‘Cranvye would have been helping them to ponnd it if they orany- body elso had explnined how the Govern- ment was to pay the interest on tho nntional debt with the greenbacka received for dnties, ‘The Government promised tho public credit- ora coin for intercat; and an irredoemablo nole is not eoln in Germany, Englavd, Hol- Iand, or Americn, where the bonds are held. Mr. J. Warsoy WepB neverso much as ro- fers to the kind of money in whick interest on the debt ia to bo paid. It reoms to him so trifling n matter a8 to be beneath his con. sideration. Yot wo nare mot disposed to be- liova bim to be an ndvocato of national bad faith or n viola:o: of contracts, and, as ha in- sists that greenbacks shall be receivablo for daties, lio was bound to explain how tho in- torest on the dobt is to be paid; if in coin, liow is it to be obtained? Are tho green- backs to be sold to the gold speculators for coln at whatever can bo got for them? In what respect would that proces be beneficial either to the greenbacks or tho Government ? Would the gold speculators buy the greonbacks receivod for duties by tho Government, and pay o higher prica for them than they will pay to the importing merchants for the same identienl greenbacks? - If they will give just the same, tho Governmont will lose the * ghave,” or disconnt, and be obliged to levy additional tnxes to make good tho loss. But is it likely thnt the Governmont can drivo as good a bargain in selling its greenbacks for gold a8 can the importing merchants? If It cannot,—if it should sell the notes for less than the merchants have boen getting for them,—then the proposed change would bo for tho worse. Not only would the Govern. ment lose, but every man whose money or credits were depreciated by the ill working of the experiment would also lose, e i THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC PLAT- FORM. Tho most barefaced exhibition of demn- gogism ovor socn in Btate politics was made by the Democratic Convention at Harrisburg, Pa., day before yesterdny. The platform adopted on that occasion ia not only remark- able for what it does not sny, but for what it does say. All the questions in which tho public is interested aro ignored. It deplores some ovils, but offers no remedies for them. It opens with a mass of glittering generali- ties nnd closos without deflning an fssue. It pats tho workingmon on the back, but does 1ot tell him how he is to better himsolf, It clamors for yotes, and offers no considerntion, It promises to pay, but gives no security. Tho hook shows so plainly through the bait that not even a gudgeon will bite at it. Read ono way, it means nothing at all; read an- other way, it is an indictment of tho Demo- cratio party itsclf. The intelligont Democratio voter in search of light on cortsin problems now ngitating tho whola country will consult this platform for information 5o that he may decide how toactintelligently. Tohis surprise hewillfind thot these Democratic Solons have resolved nothing on the currency question ; nothing on the ailver dollar ; nothing on the mono- motal question ; nothing on specio resump- tion ; nothing on banking; nothing material on protection or freo trade; mnothing on revenuo reform; nothing that is not ridicu. lous on Civil Service; nothing that is not impotent on the labor question; nothing on temperance, education, or nny prominent social or moral issne. On nonc of theso questions will the Democratic voter or any other voter find any comfort. Having shown what the platform doos not 8y, lot us see what it doos say, Tho firat section raises the conventionnl how! of the Democracy against the Prosident, and de. nounces by implication the Loulslana Re- turning Board for beating off the bulldoz- ers and ballot-box-stuffers from thoir forcible and corrupt endeavor to seize tho offlccs, theroby proventing old Usufruct from get- ting into power and distributing the spoils to the bummers. "The third section declares ** That the pnr- poso to reform the Civil Borvico which bas been proclaimed by tho present Administra- tion iy, liko its adopted Southorn policy, n confession of tho failure of Radicalism apd & just tribute to the Democracy, which has long and earnestly demanded the overthrow oud punislunent of corrupt officials.” It the Convention lnunded this n3 a joke, it ia the bost of the scason. It would do credit to Nasoy or the Burlington Jlawkeye man. Since whon haa the Democracy demand:d the overthrow and punishinent of corrupt ofticlals? Since when has the Domocracy turned a som- ersault and advocated Civil-Service To- form? 'Tho Democracy invented the system of spoils in 1820, They fogtered and nour- ished it until it was'in complete and success- ful operation, and then they lived upon it until 1861, the year they went out of power. For thirty-two long years they drained the offices and enjoyed the fruits of corruption, In oll thosa thirty-two long years they uever mnde an effort to reform the system; on the other hand, they fostencd it upon the coun. try so firmly that it is almost impossible to shake it off. It has seized upon tho bLody' politio with the tenaclty of a chronic ail. ment. Sinco 1861 the Ropublican party hoa sought to reform it and place tho country in a healthy condition, Gen, Unant tried to do someshing, but his old Democratio influ. onces had left too strong an jmpression to admit of any material success. Mr. Harzs Lias entered upon the work, without any in- fluences or obligations coming down from tho past, and is making a sincere, carnest, ond honest effort at reform. Iow far hewill succeed agaiust the obatacles of implacable politicians and old barnacles remains to be secn. In contrast with Mr, Haves’ policy, what wonld the Democrats have dome if Onowry had got in his vote and they had come into power? Thoy would have put an army of bummers and dead-beats into the offices to live off them in the good old Dem- ocratia fashion, and no bummers would havo been more oager in the scramble than those from Pennsylvania. | The fourth section declares that * capital combiued in corporate organizations has boen too highly favored by both State and Fedural leglslation, and its demands for large returns sre inconsistent with the de. pressed condition of the laboring and busi, ness interests of the country.” Bo faras this refers to the State of Penusylvanis, we do pot exaotly understand what iy aimed at. It probably refers to the exemption of farms and real estate from taxation for State purposes. If the Dewocrstio formers and roal-estate owners want togive up their pres. ent licenses and go back to direct taxation on landy, that is their business. Bo farss the favoring of capitat by Fedeml legislation s concerned, it mmust refer to protective tariffls. If this is what these demngogmes mean, they might have adled to their declaration that no five States in tho Union have done o mmch to fasten tho system upon the country as Pennsylva- nin; that Democrats ae well na Ropublicans have voted for it; that they have rofused to adopt any bill modifying the system; and that, when thoy had a Dewmocrat from Tenn- syivania as Spenker of the Houso, thoy sab down upon the Mornison bill and squelched liave stated thoso facts, The fitth scction is n mass of glittering. generalities on the Iabor question, thrown out to cateh tho votes of workingmen by working upou their credulity and their sym. pathies. It proposes alzolutely nothing as a remedy for tho grievauces of the working. man, and offers no solntion of the conflict- ing issnes botween lobor and capital. It mildly suggests that Communists ought not to burn wp property, but it does not suggost any way of stopping them. 8o loug ns property was in nctusl danger, especially Democratic property, 10 ¢lnss of .mon bawled Jouder for the help of the United Statos arny, or lnmented more piteously that the army was so small ; yet, now that tho danger is over, the nriny must not be incransed nor used asapartisan ngent, say these contemptiblo humbugs. The sixth nud seventh sections manifest an opporition ngainst subsidies, land.grants, loans of pub- lio credit, or any appropriations of publie money to great transportation companics and other corporations, This is commendable on tho surface, but doos it go below tho sur- face? Do these Democrats, who hitherto have been ns koen s auy one for subsidics, really mean it, or is this another joke, like their virtnous indignation on the Civil-Serv- jco business? Do we understand seriously that thoy inteng, for instance, to fight Tox Scort, the most influentinl Dentocrat in Penosylvania, and all his Southern Demo- cratio following, on his Texas Pacific bond schieme? It will requiro something more than a paper declaration or a platform bait to catch votes to convince the public on this point. ) Wo have shown what this platform does nog,sny, and that its negative side is very materinl, We have shown what it does say, and that ita positive side is very specious and Lollow. It does not enunciate a proposition, defino an issuc, or suggest a remedy for any cxisting evil. Even it the wayfaring peoplo of Pennsylvania aro fools, they can hardly necept such a transparent humbug, it. If they hnd been honest, they would J AMERIC, AVIGATION LAWS, The National Board of Trade adopted on ‘Wednesdny n soriesof resolntions demanding the repenl of the Navigation laws. Twenty- sixmembers voted for the resolutions and nine ngainst them, 'Tho odious nature of tholaws sas fitly charncterized during the discussion, which, although it doveloped no new points, was high testimony to tho intelligence of soma of the speskers. Ono member called attontlon to the fact that shipa nnd obsceng books are the only orticles the importation of which into tho Unitod States is absolutely prohibited. The defenso of tho laws under- taken by Enstern mombors was foeble and inconsistont, Tho speakers nttempted to prove at the eamo time that the repeal of tho Inws would not result in the purchase of for- oign vessels by American citizens; and that it would cause the ruin of our shipbuilding interesta; and that wo have no shipbuilding intorests. Any one of those propositions would be difficnlt cnough to maintain, and it is not surprising that the porsons who nt- tempted to uphald all threo of them came to grief. The American Navigation laws are the prod- uct of n dog-in-the.nanger policy which has been dictated by Eastern shipbuilders, and bas ruled in tho national councils ever sinco tho War. The shipbuilders took ad- vantago of the transfer of the American merchant marine to foreign flags during the War, aud lave refased the ennctment of laws permitting the rotransfor of the vessels, Congress was deluded by tho plea that the ship-owners who had transferred their vessels were unphtriotic and ought to bo punished. The shipbuilders supposed that the opora. tion of the laws wonld bo to cause a demand for home-built vossels to supply tho place of thoso transferred. They wore mistaken. No demand aroso. The laws in n short time transferred our commercens well nsour vessels to foreignors. Foryears Ameri- can trade has beon largely transacted by for- elgn vossols, Last yenr tho number of Amerienn vessels which entered ports of the United Btates from foroign countrles was 11,250; number of foreign veasels, 17,401, The number of Aerican vessels which cleared for forelgn ports was 11,348, and the number of foreign vessels 17,088, The sta. tistics in regard to our foreigu trade are still moro couvineing. They maka the following exhibit for the fiscal yoar ending Juno 80, 1870; « In Amervean In foreign vesels, reasels, Tmports, ave ooe $140,1880,704 $121,130, 600 Exports, . 160,602,064 430,002, 027 He-cxports. 7,123,618 12,213, 800 Totalieessuse 831,076,171 8813, 354,087 1t appears from the above table that avout 78) per cent of American trade with foreign countries is carried onin foreign vessels. Morcover, a very large share of the 20§ por cent carried in American vessels is mado up of sugar and molasaes brought from tho West Indics, which is hardly forelgn com- merce at all, "T'hisis what ten years of re. strictive® Navigation laws, the fallacy of which was exposed 200 years ago, have done for American shipping; and, notwithstand. ing the result, the American shipbuilders, or some of thom, persist in their selfish pol- icy. They cannot build themselves, and they will not permit Americans to buy abroad. The benefits that would follow the repeal of the Navigationlaws cau be easily enumer- ated. Americans could then buy ships wherathey aro made cheapest, without injury to the prosperity of the nation. For it 1aust bo borme in mind that the more we buy abroad the more we must send abroad to pay for what we buy. There would be an in. creascd demand for American products, and industry in some of its branches would be stimulated. The shipbuilders might tem. porarily suffer, but thoy ocould scarcely be worse off than they are at present. Nobody proposes to interfere with them in the con. struction of consting vessely, and foreign vesaels, it is obvious, they cannot make while the present tarif on the raw material re. waing, "Fhe purchase of a number of foreign vessols would confer .another benefit; it would lead to the formation of & merchant maring such ss the one which in dsys past was the glory and defense of America. 4merican ship-owners would prefer to em- ploy American seamen. Every nation takes care of its own. We have at presost no body of merchantmen to fall back upon in case of war. ‘The ancient art of navigation isdying . for the thoussndth time, pusver, penditures, imposgibilities,do not seem to perplex him or out nmongst us, and one of the most essen- tinl menns of national defense has fallen into dishonor and neglect. This is entirely nsido from the fact {hat n merchant mnrine would give omployment to vast numbers of men now idlqand suffering, while it would indircetly eall for supplies of ship-stores, and, in ease of ateamn-vessels, of conl, whicly foreign vemscls tako good caro to purchase at home ns far as possible. The ropnirs which wonld Lo required for a flect engnged in the foroign trade would give Amerioan shipbuildera twice over as much work s they are now asked to do in tho way of building now vessels for the foreign trada. 'The main question as to the foolish nature of the Navigntion lgws would not need 1o bp discussed except for the nstounding ignoranco of some of our people, 'The oxperience of every civilized natlon has condemued such laws, ond it was left for the Amorican Iro- tectionists to demonstrate their. absurdity They fottered themselves with commerelal restrictions until they could not move hand or foot, and thon expressed astonishment at the result.

Ewixoe fails to oxplain, Thero is o law which was passed during the War, and whon military affairs wero not promising, which pledged the faith of tho Government that tho fssue of greenbacks should nover oxcocd $100,000,000 That pledge has been kopt sinco 1863, Mr. Ewine may soy that that law may bo ro- pealed; so it may be, and so any orall tho laws relating to the payment of the dobt may bo ropesled. But that will not help the caso. Tho gresnbacks wero a forced losn, which the peoplo wero compelled to take, The question of the power to mako n papor promiso of tho Govornment o legal-tonder in the paymont of dobts between individunls is not an open question any longor. It has been decided by the Bupreme Court under ciroumstances whick preclado the probability of o roversal. A majority of the Court docided thint tho nots of Congross making the ‘Ireasury-notes o legal-tender weore legal, bocause onacted in timo of war, under acknowledged circum- stances of national peril, to mcet an over- whelming necessity, The other part of tho Court donied the power in toto ; so that the Conrt unanimonsly held that, in thne of pence, no such power cxisted or could bo ox- crelsed, This, then, is nocessarily fatal to nny lssue of greenbacks bLeyond the original limit of 8400,000,000, and prohibits the fur- thor issue of such notes to take tho place of the bank-notes, That disposos of one of Mr. Ewina's schemos, Tho other is that of keoping greonbacks at par with coin by making them receivable for customs duties, The fallacy of this assumption we have re- cently and frequently discussed. Mr., Ewina does not stop to consider that, unless paper Do redeemable in coin on demand, coin will not circnlate with it, and that tho currency must be exclusively in the depreciated paper. To make such paper receivablo for customs will have the effect of having all the revonuo paid in paper, and the Governiont forced to purchase the coin it needs for its coin ox- ‘These difficulties, amounting to the Greenbackers on the one hand any moro than thoe impossibility of resumption in gold without driviug the paper curroncy outof existence seems to perplex Becretary Bugn- aan. Both sides demaud thoir polioy, and seorn tp care nothing whether what they pro- pose is practicable or wise,—whether it bo politio or destructive. On these wild and somewhat irrational schemes Ewina and his party iutond to carry on tho canvass in Ohio to the end. A dozen times or morc the Juler-Ocean hos had tho contemptiblo meanuess of allegiug that Tus TIsUNE * steals® from it the New York Hlerald cable dispatches, which It receives from New York. 1t *‘gocatopress," it says, **aboyt 80, m,," and that Tuz TRIDUNE gets & copy ll its tssuo and reproduces its Herald cablo uows, ete.
