Tho first cluuse of the resolution covers tho caso of Gauuerra, whose worst offenso was tlhe decluration in his speech at Lille that * the Presidont must submit or resign;” while the second aima at the liberation of Bonwzr- Dovernien, who is now worving ot a tern of coufinement imposed fora slmilar political of- fense. ‘Uho adoption of this resolution, which 8 certain toreccive the entirs Republican vote of the Chamber, will present to tho Cabinet in another and more peremptory form the issue of submisslon or resiguation. The people of France, spesking at the recant cloctions, have ordered, and the Chamber is aoout to communicate the decree, that political prosocutions of the character that arraigned Gauserra and imprisoned Doverpies wust coase, tho command being all the mor oxplicit and unmistakable from the fact that the former was under seutence aad the latter in dureas when the electious 112.0(; 5.60 X o.01! 1) il 31 wero held, nnd both candidatos were re- turned by largoly-increased majorities, Itis 1o be seon what heed MacManon will pay to this voice of tho majority. e — 1t may well bo doubted whether the Texas Democrats made a good irade when they abandoned their alliance with the Republio- ans on the Army bill aud bargnined with the Democratic majority for a roturn to the par- ty ranks on condition that Texas should be takon caro of in the distribution of troops. Thoy have shown themselves to be governed sololy by selfish sectional considerations, and aro open to the charge of bad faith na well. It ia evident that their only nutioty was to securo four full regiments of eavalry for per- manent service on the Moxican border, and they rondily consented to dicker with the Democrals on nuny terms which should in- clude such n conditfon. Now the Re- publicans may yet lave a word to say about this matter that will interfore with the fulillment of the bargain, It is quite probable that the Sonate will refnso to sanction it by passing the Army bill with the elauses reducing the fores Lo 20,000 man and providing for the location of four cav- alry regimonts in Toxns, and will insist that tho Housa has no right to usarp the proroge- tive of the Commander-in-Clief by dictating the location of troops.. Thon, if tho Houso should fail to pass the Appropriation bill, the responsibility for the disbanding of the army would rest where it belonged,—upon the Demoerats,—and Texas would not stice ceed in gelling the four cavalry rogiments after all, ‘We copy from the Iudianapolis Journal an unpublished speech of the Iate Senator Mon- TON, prepared, but not used, in Oregon lnst July. The Jonrnal explnins as follows: Tire facts with reference to this apeechs will be of intorest, Pending the investigationof the GRoven case, Mr, Montox was Invited to address the peo- ple of Ozegon at Salem upon the political Jssnca before tha country, which bo sccepted, discharg- ing the duty ymmediately after the conclusion of the eitings of the Senatorial Commission. The meeting was o very largo and enthuslastic one. Kntoting tho balt with hin manuscript (which had been preparcd, as was usosl twith the Senator's speeches), Mr. Montox cuncladed to lsy it aside and make an extempore sddress.

THE BHRLEK OF THE SHYLOCKS, Thure i a general howl of rage through all the press of New England avd Now York concorning tho prssago of tho Silver bill by the House of Ilopro- sontatlves, ‘I'he vilest opithets and the flercest vituperation ara applied not only to the bill, but to those who voted for it and to thoso who supported it. The New York Publio declaros the demonotization of silver to be * lunacy,” and expressos the hopo that tho Prosident will not prove to bo a ‘‘lunatic” by siguing it. ‘Fho Boston Advertiser Inmounts tho * nltra-ignorance " of those who voted for it, and the Noew York World declares it to be o ewindle, The New York Z'ribune enlls it a * Democratic” wmensuro, and the wholo Enstern press ropre- sont it to be a bill to degrade thae dollar to 03 cents. Tho pain of {he moncy-lenders is avideuce of how strongly they cling to the fraud porpetratod in 1873 by the secrot do- monetzation of silver, This silver question raises the lssue wholber thero Is too much metallic currency in the world; whather tho purchasing power of gold iy too small; and whother the valuo of laud and of all other property ns compared with gold Is so groat that the motallic monoy shall be re. duced to gold exclusively in onder to in. cresse the oxchaugeable value of that metal, ‘Tho schomo to demonetizo silver dates back #overnl years. Germany and e United States were tho victims, The schemo way snecensfully carried into effect in this conntry by a secreoy and an indirection that amonunt to fraud, The American masscs, without Alistinction of party, demand that thnt frand, perpetrated upon the country in 1873, shall Lo corrected, and that the coln whickh had been the legal-tender of the country for eiglly years, ond which was the legal-tender when all the public, municipal, corporate, aud privata jndebtedness of the country ex- wsting when this yaseolity was committed, shall be restored. Is that lunacy or ewin. dling? - 'Tho Shylocks of the Eastorn States who dur- ing tho las! ten or twelye yeara investod their cheap poper money, then worth an avorage of 70 cents on tho dollar, in pablic, municipal, and other bouds, and In mortgagos, are de- mauding tkal thore shall Lo no other form of legal money thap gold. 'Tho demonetiza tion of silver Las strongthened this demangd, and agalnst the probable restoration of the silver dollor these people growl as wild beasts do at the loss of their prey. 'I'he gold party havo beon driven from their position that the remonetization of silver would bo illegal, or would iuvolve a breach of faith, Thoy now make their graud point that sil. ver motal being worth less than in 1873, the silver dollar which was then worth 103%ents in gold is now worth but 92} centa as bullion ; and therefore to coin it and meko it & logal-tender would Dbe (o reduce the valus of dollars ' 93} oents, and onablo debtors to pay 4heir debts in the cheaper monoy, When thesa debls, orat least nine-tonths of them, wers contracted, the money of the country was worth from 60 1o 75 cents on the doller, and silver coin was worth 103 cents on tho dollar in gold, and a legal-tondor. Tho nationul debt wos by con- tract payable in either gold or silver coin, and the gold being the chenper metal it was used to pay debts with it. The debt being payable in cither coin, is it any more dis- honest to use rilver, the cheaper metal, in 1877 than it was to use the gold in 1873, when it was at 8 per cent disconnt in silver? The Shylocks are not content that the money which they loaned, worth 70 cents, will be paynble to them in coin worth even now 93 ceuts on the dollar; they demand gold, and are howling against the restoration of the old silver legal-tender, surreptitionaty repeal. ed in their interest. The question is not one of cheap money. It is not a question of making silver legnl-tgnder for the first time. It is not the introduction of a new coinage nnd n now metal, It is a question of restoring the coin which was n legal-tender when the debts woro contracted, and acoin in which the debts are made payable at the option of tho Govornment, aud the restoration of a coin ‘which for oighty years was a legal-tonder for all dobts, unlimited as to tho amonut, in the United States. This is all that the Bilver bill proposes to do, and less than this would bo to perpetuate and sanction one of tho groatest frauds perpetrated on any people. ‘There is no attempt to make dollars cheap. Davip A, Werts and every othor honest writer on this eubject oconcedes that to remonetizo silver and make it a legal-tendor, with free coinags, will havo tho immediate effect of creating n mar- ket for the surplus silver, and of courso of inoveasing the market value of the metal. The whole yelling about making chenp dol- Iars is mero clap-trap. Silver being demone- tized in Germany and the Unitod States, the silvor of both countries is for sale os metal, Romonetize the silver, and make ita coinage freo, and the temporary surplus will bo con- sumed, and silver will recover its par valuo with gold. The Bilver bill, with its froe coinage, is the greatest and most prom- ising hopo of a restoration to a sound cur- rency. It will provide for a large and continuous coinage of metallic money, which will abide in the country and become tho basis of n sound currency subject to no flnctuations. It will fill the Treasury as a special doposit, and its silver certifintes will circulate in all large business transnctions ns gold certificates do now. But the romonetization of silver in this country will be the death.blow to the schoma of the money-lenders of the world, who soek to reduce motallic money oxeln. sively to gold, giving to that coin a dangerons. lyincronsed value, andmakinga corresponding reduction in the coin value of all other prop- erty. It js because of tho failura of this schems of the monomotallists that the or- gous of the monoy-lenders indulge in such fronzied donuncintion of the Bilver bill. It is a strugglo between the masses and the monay-lenders, botween the debtors and tho Shylocks, and there can be but ono ontecome of such n struggle, unless those who are in power shall betray the trusts roposed in them. If so, woe unto them1 CORKLING. It fins boen the custom to oall Coxxrrve peacock, but he might also be styled a scr- peat.

Ho held st his disposal the ontire patronagoe of the largest Stato in the Union, 1Ile packeds a delogation to the TRepublican Convention which, with the ex- ception of two or three delegates who ro. Tused to vabmit to hia dictation, presented a solid . front and . expected to carry the nomination by storm. They came with flaring bouners and beating drums, ‘They told the Convention that Mr, ' Conxring was the only man who could carry Nuw York, and that without New York and without Coxgrixd the Wepublicans were lost. Coxxtiia or a Democratio Premdent, was their ultimatum. Instead of oyer- whelming the Convention, they occasioned scarcely a ripple on its surface. Thoro was not a solitary Cowxtaxa man outeido of tho Now York gang, cither among the delegates, tho alteruates, or the spectators. There was 20 tiwe at which Conxrmva bad the ghost of o chance for the nomination, There was n0t & 1moment when his candidature was serfously entertained. Bramxs could haye been nomigated; Bristow could have been nominated; MoxntoN could have been nom. inated; Mantuawrr could have been now- inated; Jrwxis could Lave beeu nominat- ed; snd soores of others, whose names were nol even mentioned, could have been nominated before Coxxrma., He had not oven the consolation of a respectabls following ; he was the candidate of tha New York machine gaug, but of nobody ¢lso. Ho wout home bent on mischief, He did what he couldecovertly, and what ko dared openly, lo ‘defeat Hares and the Ro- publican party. e helped to give New York to Tioes, Having failod in defeating him, he Lias since followod the same disreputabla tactics to ombarrass Prosident Havrs and dismomber the Republican party. How the Amorican poople regard this sort of eam- paigning may ba best told by citing the fact that his own county, which is onlinarily Ro- publican by 4,000 majority, rofased this year to clect A Ropnblienn Stale Bonator, and clocted a Domoerat, so that he might vote ngainst Oovxnmwo's teturn to the United States Benato. OoxzriNa in opposed to President Hayxs' efforta in Lolalf of Civil-Bervice reform. Naturally enongh, for such reform demanded the displacement of the moioty gang in New York which grow rich upon Conxrina's patronngs, and which may be depended tipon to do Conxtina’s dirty work on all oo- casions, as they did in the New York Con- vention this fall. Ex-Congrossman Roseats, who lives in Conxriva's district, explains all this, Tho moiety system, which provailed up to acoupla of years ago, wasa bribe held out to apies nnd informers, and the Now York Cus. tom.House gang used it for blackmailing purposes. As mman of good.standing some- times pays hush-money to a strumpet rathor than openly combat a charge of inconti- nence, 8o many of tho Now York merchants submitted to the extortions of this diereput- nble gang of blackimailers rather than have their books seized and b arrnigned for de- frauding the ravenue. Mr. Roner?s, whilo n memborof Congroess and Chairman of a Sub- Committee of Wnys and Moans, was active in sccuring a repenl of the law on which thae blackmailers subsisted. But the blackmail. ors were Cowxiana's blowers and strikors, and CoxgLixa never forgnvn Nopents. For the same resson, CoNkLiNo conceived the most violent hatred for Dristow, then Scere- tary of the Troasury, who oxerted his infln- cnce to assist in the dispersement of the Ulnckmailing ring, Now that a consistent polioy of roform further domands thnt Conzumva's New York gang shall abandon publio life altogather, there is another reason ndded to his personal onvy and spite for em- barrassing President Hares, CoxrriNg is opposed to Prosident Haves' Southern policy. Naturally onough, for Coxrrnia’s qunlities 83 a political leader aro conflned to the flaunting of the bloody-shirt. His political capacity does not extond beyond n strife with the South ; without it ho wounld uot know how to hold a party togother or nppeal to the support of n constituency, He says he did not object to the withdrawal of troops from Loaisiana, but to the bargain (?) under which tho troops wero ‘withdrawn, Precisely ; the only bargain made by or with the consent of Presidont Haves was tho ex- acting of an ngrecment from tho representa- tive men of Lonisiana that thera should bo no brench of tho penco in cnso tho troops were withdrawn, DBut it was just this that CovkuNg resented. Ho would have pre- ferrod to see tho Riflo Clubs march upon the botel whero Packanp had fntrenched him. self, Tio would Lave preferred o confliot in which 200 or 300 lives should bo sacrificed, ‘Then it would have boen necessary to ordor the troops back again. Then the bloody- shirt could bavo been waved for yoars longer. Porhaps, indecd, the conflict would have lod ton reopening of tho Civil War, withn possibility of soating his friend Triuoxw s Presidont of oue of tha faotions, This is the sort of thing that wonld have suited Coxxrixg's purposes infinitely botter than poacoe and good.will. - .

A DANGEROUS USURPATION. Tho Texas Democrats in Congress have nbandoned their position upon the Army- Appropration bill sud cousented to the reduction of tho army to 20,000 mon upon the condition that there shall be stationed four full regimants of cavalry 4,000 strong upon the Rlo Grands border, They have boen placated with an unconstitutional promiss and sold out to the Plottings and usurputions of a cabal of der- agogues, If tho Houso of Representatives or its majority have the right to ordor four reg. imonts to the Rio Grande border, they have the right to ordor the whole army thero, to withdruw overy soldier from there, or to dis- patch the whole wrmy to Bitka or over into Mexico, If they have the right to send troops into Toxas, they Lave au equal right 16 diroct the tactical nnd stategic move- ments of tho whole army in time of peace or war, Where did they obtain this right? Under what provis. fons of the Constitution does s Demo- cratic Mouse caucus usurp the fanctiona of the President, whom the Constitution makes Commauder-in-Chief of the Armyy, and order troops here and there of its own motion without reference to tho President, tho Sec. rotary of War, or.the Genernl of thé Army? Tt has formerly been supposed that the rights of tho Houso with regard to the army were limited to the voting of appropristions; but whore did it obtain the right to usurp tho Executive functiona? If {t osn assumo to issue army orders that under the Constitution bolong to the Presidont, how long will it be Lefore the Democratio caucus will assume to set aside or disregard the decisions of the Judiclary ? If the Constitution can be thus arbitrarily and wantonly shoved aude aud tramplsd upon, why earry out the farce of having a Codstitution at all? Why not adopt at onco the English system, and wake the President, like the Queen, simply the agont and clerk of the House? If the varlous Departments of the Government exist anly on papor, and the Houss caucus can at its own option usurp their functions, ‘why not make this csucus absolute, like the French Directory, and let it run the Gov. ernment ¥ The martifying and disgraceful surrender of thy Texss Democrats, their conspicuous ingragtude to tho Nepublicans who had sided them, the unlawful order of troops to thq Rio Grande froutior, and the reduc- tion of the army, are all part and parcel of & deterpination on the part of Southern fire- eatery in alliance with Northern demagogues to @ridually cripple and ultimately destroy the apny. If this programums can be carried out, if would bo far botter to abolish it at once,'aud whenevf it is necessary call out yol As the (muntry without even the nfcleus of an army wou'd be exposad to the cfatempt of the rest of the w i, and as the would bo constantly exp,ed 0 | i domeatio violencs, the mob having little or no fear of the militin, the calls wonld be fre- quent, and wo conlil soon have an army of dependenta upon thoe Treagury, eating up the snbstance of the taxpayers in the way of bounties and pensious, Democrntic hatred does not atop with the nrmy. Tho navy comes in for an cqual share, Rather than gradually destroy, better at oncs sink what fow ships we have, tenr down thelr flags, burn their muni- tions, and discharge tha unpaid sailors. They, like the soldiern, have sorved their country faithfully, nnd have endured hard- ships without complaining, to save the conn- try from foreign invasion and domestio vio- lence. Kick them all ont together, and cut off the widows and orphans of the dend he- rocs from tho ponsion list. So long, how- ever, a1 the army oxists, oven as a skoleton, and tho President under the Constitution is Oommander-in.Chief of it, the question re- curs, what right a Domocratic cancus has to dictate itsmovements, Buch actionis arbitra. ry, unconstitutional, nnd dangerous to the liberties of the country. The people will look to tho Senato to promptly defeat this bill, and with it the usurpations of the Bracknuay Bonrbons and bulldozers. If tho Benate failsin its duty, they will look to the President to veto it. Wo warn theso firo-cators .and demngognes that the peopla are in earnest in this matter, and that, if they persist in their usurpations, the people will mako themselves heard in a manner they can undorstand, —— THE STATE-HOUSE AND THE RING. Inan interview Saturday evening with a Trtnune reportor, Gov. CuLrostsaid that “so far as tho State-House grounds were con- cerned, they had 7ot yel been condemned, a8 ho had not appointed the Commission for that purpose, and it was not ngreed to pay 220,000 for four acres, as stated in Tue Tasuxe." We were then misinformed, and maka the correction at once. Our informant perhaps hoard State-House peoploe nnme that sum as tho probable valuo of the four acres, audsupposed that o ** condemnation had boen made. A Bpringfiald ringster gives this explanation of the law : 1f tho signera of tho hond to convey the ground required do not supply it to the Stato free of cost, after four months' notice, the Governor and two other Stale oficers shall proceed to condemn |t, and the eigners of tho bond shall be held Mablo therefor; but the four months' notico to the algn- ors of the bond hasnot yet expired, and untit the expiration of that time no proceodings incon- demnation canbe Instituted, Bat thera is still a * long-tajled cat” in the menl, Afier the condemuation proceedings ara had, supposs the signers of the bond- re- fuse to poy the amount, what then? The award for land damages is first to bo taken ont of any money appropriated for State-Houso purposcs. Those who signed the bond promising to give the four acres to the Btato will fight tooth and nail, and they confident- Iy expect to dofeat the State. A part of tho money the poople were called on to vote to comploto the State-House would then be per- manently divertod to pay for ground which tho leading citizons of 8pringfleld solomnly promised in writing to donate for the sake of having tho vast structure ercoted in their town, and the millions of its cost expended among thom, A gontleman residing in one of the in. terior counties writes us as follows, Nov. 93 I havo a distinct recollectlon that the appropria- tlon 1n 1871 for tho State-Houae in Speingflold was made upon the express condition that this land shonld bo secured without cost to the State, Iam of impreesion that an act was passed accenting tho land offered by tho citzons of Springdold, and legalizing the aame 80 far as It was competont for the Legialataro to do; but perbaps [ am mistaken inthis. §remember very woll that the price of four ot ive acres was ageead upon verbally, at least, be- twacn the slgnors of tha bond and the owners of this property, ana I think o deed was executed and placed In the hands of acommiltee of three citlzens in which the prico among other things was stated. 1 hava forgotten how tnuch it was; but Iom quite congdent that it was less than $100,000; and this was during {nflatlon times, when such land in Sprinfeld was rated at about twico what {twould now sell for to anybody cxeept 1o tho State in a swindling transaction. 1f tho Btata has to pay $200,000 for that plece of ground upon valtistion by a Commission, you may depend upou it that the ownera will not get more of the money than thelr secrot contract calle for, and the remaludor will stick in the hands of the manipulat fng ring, As to the completion of the Stato-House bnilding, 1havono idua that it can be finished for tho talf-million it was proposed to expoud, mak- fog no deduction from that monoy for tha four acres of land. Under good, honest, faithful man. agewment It cannot be finlahed In harmony with the dedlgn for auything short of a milllon, and if the present manazement |s continted we will not ceaso 10 Liave calls for more money for ton yoars o coma, With the exception of that In the main corridor, the moet expensive and bighly ornamental part of the finteh 1a yet to ba added, and In my opinion much that 18 loferior in quality will have to be re- placed.

A SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE ARMY, The sounducss of the Democraoy of the Lonlsvillo Courier-Journal and St. Louls Re- pudlican will not be questioned in any quar- ter, Invincibly opposed to Republicanism onthe one hand, they are removed from Bourbonism on the other, and, between the two, hold a conservative position which ena- bles them to disouss public moasares thought. fully and dupasalonately, representing the sentiments of {utelligent and earnest Demo- crots, rathor than ‘the froth and fury of Boorbon demsgogues and partisau howlers, Both thoss papors, ln dealing with tho dis- cussion on the Army-Appropriation bill, uso plain words, The Republican stigmatizes Braocxnusy, of Kentucky, and Currrenozs, of itaown State, with the samo epithet of **dem- agoguo” applied by ‘l'ax Curoaco Trmusx, whickh makes the justice of the condewna- tion doubly sure, It does not hesitate to de. clare that when these men spoke of the army *shooting down the impoverished la. borers of the land last summer,” and that “it should never be wused to overawo laboring men,” they wera gullty of what “plain people call demsgogery.” 1t calls upon thew to point ont *the timeand place during these troubles, when and where the Federal soldiers did any shooting, anything beyond the maintenance of lawand order, and the protection of publio and pri- vate property.” Upon the gemeral subject of tho maintenance of the army, the Bt. Louis Republican is no loss decided, as will be seon by.the following: ‘We toaist that the Mulenvlom has not arrived, and is pot likely to put in au sppearance this year, or thoe next, or the year after, , Untll at coices, tho country needs 8 military 1nrce of some kind to re- psess domestic Violence and realst forelgu luvasion, uoless It can be denionstrated that there is not the Fowoteas posslbility of ouz belag adlictod by sithes, 1t a gencral millttia aystem, activoand efféctive, cAn be eatablished, then esiablieh it at oneo and abollsh the reguiar army, Untll wo havo such a aystem, the plain teachings of exverienco and com- mon-Roniee safy, ‘‘Keop op the regalar army.' And If kept np at all there 18 nefthér wisdom nor economy In rednciny It below 25,000 men, Even At that figure, If we subtract tho non-combatants, we ehiall hinvd Jess than 22,000 mueket-carriers in 0 nation of 45,000,000 and in & ferritorlal area larger than all Enrope. The Louisville Courder~Journal is no less emphatic than the 8t. Louis Republican in condemning these domngogues, and it seat- tors their thoories to the winds by showing that the army can bo used forthe mainte. nance of tho polico laws of & Btate. The Buprema Court, has decided over and over again that the United Btates Government cannol of its own motion interfore with the domestio’ affaira of n State, nor enforce tho police regulations of a Btate; but tha Conati- tution declnres that the Stato has o right to demand of the United States that it shall send its tsoops into the State to maintaln the lawa and protect it from personal violence. As the Courier~Journal aptly says: *‘That in n Btate right that is, happily, placed be- yond tho reach of Congressmon who aro dis- posed to dally with the Communo to the jeopardy of tho persons, the lives, and the praperty of industrious, honest, and law. abiding citizens,” The law upon the subject is as clear as the sunlight, and there was no {ustance during the recent labor troubles whoro thoe Presidont did not apply the law according to sirict. constitutional mothods. Thoe troops were not used in nuy instauco oxcopt where the Btato authorities made formal application undor the Constitn- tion and the law. As the Courier-Journal poiats out, ** Tho only deviation was ou the part of the Gavernor of Indiana, who seomed to forget for tho momont that he was invok- ing the interferonca of tho National Govern- ment in Stato affairs, and was reminded by tho President that he must follow the forms of law.” Wa commend the warnings of these two conservativo Democratic papers to the Bourbon conspirators against the nrmy inthe House of Representatives. The London Standard of Oct, 20 strongly commends the proposition to remonetize silver in the United States, It does not partake of the fears of the *duriamaniacs ** In tao least as 1o tho consequences. The articlo was auggest- ed by the roport of Senator Jonxs' 8llyer Com- mission, Tho Standard considers that the remonetization of allver n no way involves tho question of partial repudiation of the public debt. It is **purely n questionto be determin- cd by economical conslderations,” and tho Lou- don journal finds tbese considerations on the sido of remonctization of silver to be very welghty, "It considers it * unquestionable that resumption could be effected much mors casily 1f silyer wero mado legal-tonder for unlimited amounts, aud thia not because o sllver: dollar at prescat prices would range lower In comparison with gold than o paper dollar, but becnuse thero is not sufticlent gold to be obtained with which to resume. At the present moment the demands of the German, French, and Amerlcan Governments for gold for colnage purposes com- pel the Bank of England to ralso its ratoof discount to §.per cent, even though trado fa stagnant. Ifthe United SBtates determine on having only a gzold standard, the gold markets will be perpetually exposed to thls dratn, and there will bo constantly recurring crises. If, on the contrary, this country puts silver on a level with gold, it will bo spared the f{nccssant com- petition with European countries for gold, and the inonev markets of Europe will bo re- loved of a pormanent strain? The Standard gocs on to say ‘‘that one of tho greatost dangers with which commerca 1 threatened is o gold scarcity, and the moro countries ndopt tho slncle gold standard the greater tho danger becomes. Tho great fall in the value of silver, which so injuriously affected the finances of India, was immediately brought nbout by the adoption of the single gold standard by Germany at a time when both Franco and the United Btates had suspended specic payments, and the Arat rise in tho motal as the cousequence of the minting of sflver for subsidfary cofus fu this country. The Standard says: If the United Statss were to make silvor legal- tender for unlimited auiounts, it Is certain that the bulk uf thie carrency would be ailvar, A mar. ket wonld thus bo opened not only for the pro- ductlonof the Nevada miuee, but ulso for tho sure plus silvor now Lold by Germany, The prico wonld at once go up to iisold lovel, and would robably be wustalned ot that point For then nco would ducide also to retuln- tho doubly standard. During the past two years the French Government has been watching ovents, M. Lrox $av, the late Flnance Minteter, agaln and aunin duclared that the Uovernment would ot abandon the double standard unloss the fall in sllver provoy to permanent; and every Finance Minlstor would probably follaw tho edmo policy. Tho do- terminution of the United Htates, therefore, to10- taln stlver as & legal-tender would ducide France in the samo way, sud thus the value of tho metal would bo ro-estabilshod, e — ‘The Emperor of Brazil wus o favorably im- pressed with the American narrow-gaugo stylo of raflrosd that he has causcd a contract 1o bu mado with Messra.
