It will be no. ticed that Mr. Bourwers, who as Becretary of the Trensury wasone of the most mag. vificent finoncloring failurcs tho couutry ever produced, hasa great deal to say about the duty of the President in sustaining the houor of the country and in protecting the interests of all classes, and tho belief is ex. pressed that tho President will not sign the bill if Congress should pass it in its present shape. Other mewbers of the Shylock lobby were far loss positive on this point, thereby showing wreater discreotuess aud a better kuowledge of the probabilities. ‘The dMacMauon Ministry yesterday re. tigned, tho retirements to take effect upon the sppointment of o new Cabinet, though :he present Ministry make no seerct of their elief that theycan be of no servico in the sc- ‘tetfon of theirsuceessors, and that the sooner iheir portfolivs are relinquished the better ‘or the nation, A conference of the meni. dery of tho so-called Coustitutional party in e Seoste and Chambler is to bo held at once to toke part in the forma- tion of a uow Government, aud upon the spirit manifested in this conference will lergely depend tho peace of France, A bopeful indicution is fouud in the attitude of » portion of tho Riglt, who have intimated W the Marshal that they will not join with bim in carrying out a policy of resistance.

They aro holding off for the President's message and the report of the Secretary of the Treas- nry, anticipating that the latter will be of nssistance in bolstering up the weak opposi- tion to tho restoration of the silver dollar.

THE SILVER DOLLAR. ‘Wo print this morning a lotter from Mus- cating, Ia., written by Mr.’ Joux Uxpen. woon, in which the policy of remonetizing silver advocated by Tre Tnmuse is criticised nnd condemned. 'The writor objects to tho term * Shylocks™ being applied to those who insist that thera shnll he Lut ono form of money, nnd that gold; ho thinks that it was undignified and unjust in Tue Trmouse to have nsed such atorm in reply to an articla inthe Nation, forgetting that the Nution and all the ndvocates of an exclusive gold currency, including Mr, Joux Usbenwoon, denonnce the romonatization of silver as an act of repudiation,—a dishonest and fraudu. lent proceeding on the part of » dishon- est Government, While opithets are not nrguments, thoso who denounce the remonetization of silver s a swin. dling proceeding thereby invite tho re- tort which is nocesanrily appropriate and directly npplicablo. Ounr correspondent wholly misunderstands or misstates tho sil- ver question. In 1834 tho Ameriéan gold coinsge was at a premium in silver, ns it is now, The Government then reduced the welght of gold in the comage, Subsequent. 1y the now discoveriea of gold reduced the valuo of that metal, nud American silver colus becamo mora valuablo thau the gold colns. Gold being thonceforth tho inferior or choaper metal, the gold dollar, being worth about, 8 cents in silver, becamo the coin in general use, and romnfued so until the close of 1875 and tho begiuning of 1870, The two coins had been s legal-tender from 1792, and it was not until the change in the relative valuos of tho two motals took place, and when silver again becamenvailable, that it was generally discovered that in 1873 silver had been secretly and, nnder the cir- cumstances, fraudulently demonotized. So secretly and adroitly had this been done that President Gmaxr, who had signed the law, was not awaro of it for a long time after. ‘The Chalrman of the Committeo who had reported the bill nud those who had voted for it wero not aware of what was contained under the phrascology of the act. Thero were n fow men in Congress wha were aware of what was intended; one of these was Mr. Hoorem, of Mnssachusetts, nnd perhaps Secrotary, then Bunator, Joux BuenMaN wns another. Here was n case of duliborate fraud, perpotrated upon the coun- iry in ‘tho intercat of the international lenguo of money-lenders whose purpose Is to incrense the valuoe of gold by making it the exclusive monoy of the world. At that tmme all tho existing bonded indebtodness of tho United States was payable in gold or silver coius of tho United States, and silver was a legnl-tender fornll the other indecbtedness, public and private, of tho country. No part of tho uational debt has been created since the act of 1873 demonetizing silver which does not on its face recite that the same is payablo in the gold or silver coin of tho United Stutes which was a legal-tender in 1870, So the contract with the publio creditors has not beon chonged or altered by the act demone- tizing silver, hecause the contract still cally for payment fu silver or gold, at the option of the Government, It is not n question of nking new dollars worth but 93 cents it is a question, however, whether the Government and tho couutry generally shull be per. mitted to pay all tho indebledness, publio and private, ina coin legal-tender when the debts were countracted, or whether these debis shall be poid in gold dollurs worth in silver 107 cents, If thoe silver dollar was worth, as it was In 1870, 103 cents in gold, would the Governmeut bo compelled to pay in the dearer or the clieaper coin? It green. backs, now worth 97 conts, should for any causo declne to 03 cents on the dollar, would it be dishounest to pay private debls with them? If-silver had not beou de- wmonetized jn 1873, would any imnan or party in the United States propose to demonetizo it because the silver dollars had fallon from 103 to 93 cents on the dollar in gold? ‘Was not the double standard adopted in this country, as it has been in others, to enable the Government and the people, in case of variations in tho relative values of gold and silver, to employ the cheaper metal? Did uot gold displace silver in general use in thia country so soon 08 the gold dollar was reduced in value below the silver dollar? Mr. Joux Uspenwoon, like all the other detenders of the dewonetizing fraud, omits .ors with a gome-sprend quite equal to all mention of the fact that the dollar owen its present reduction of value to the fact of demonetization of silvor in Germany and this country; and that to romonetizo the silver dollar, and make ita coinago free, a8 in the easc of gold, will Liavo the effect of Fo far restoring silver to ita old relntive valuo that tho dollar will be at par with gold. There is not in this menasnre the slighteat appronch to dishonesty, or to repndiation, legally or morally. It is to restore to the country a rightof which it has been deprived frandnlontly, in the interest of the SAylocks who want something in addition to their bond. The remonetization of silver ia not a mensnro to create n new coin, or create a new legal-tender, nor to reduco the weight of an existing dollar, Itis to restors a coin and a legal-tender ns old ns the Government, which secretly and surreptitionsly was de- monetized in 187 by an act passed in frand upon those who voted for it and npon the President who signed it. The fraud was geuerally unknown for two years after it waa perpetrated, and the Silver bill now be- fore Congress ia to repeal that fraud and re. stora the coinage to what it was before that scandalons act was committed. Agninst the remonetization of silver is ar- rayed tho whole Shylock interost in this conntry nnd in Europe. These people hold the bonds of nll nations; thoy Lold the bonds of States, municipalities, rallroad and other corporations; they hold tho mortgages on nll the liouses, lands, mives, forests, and other properties of tho people. 'They insist that metallic money is too cheap; that it will not pur- chnso enough of other property, and that the value of gold, in relation to all other property, shall bo increased by making it tho exclusivo money of the world. They insist that if thero bo no metallic money excopt gold, and gold being compnratively scarce, the gold dollar will have a largely-incrensed waluo, and hence the great increase in the valug of the bonded and mortgage indebted- nesd they hold, both as to prineipal nnd in- terest, In tho issuo of the remonetization of silver is involved the question of making metallic monoy scarco by demonetizing one- half of it, and confiningtho othorto gold, the supply of which is annually growing less. Agninst subjectingthis country—nsilver-pro- ducing country—to that condition, of ox- perimenting hero by making every bond, morigage, and every other debt payabla in gold to the exclusion of every other fornrof money, there is an almost nniversal protest. with poses. townships, shall roam over whole Territories, or hold great agricultural and minoral nreas ot their disposal. Sitrive Buwy, therefore, misrepresonts the mituation, Tho Government would oven be will ing to givo a scction of land to each man, squaw, and papoosa in the tribe, Lnt it will not give the whole territory wost of the Mis- sourl River to them. As Brrrina Dutr would not agres to this, but went ont on the war. path, slaughtering scttlers, kijlling miners, torturing defonseless womou and children, and burning and pinndering in overy dirce- tion, the Governmont was compalled to tnke up arms against him. Srrrive Huwn will find the mame troublo in Canada, if he does not obey the conditions imposed upon him, If ho does not remnin on his reservation, but ronms all over British America, hunt. ing, killing, aod plundering wherever he plesses, his Great Jlother (he Queen will, ns Col. MoLeop informed him, ‘becomo nugry and smite him with botb hands, for that is justice.” It iy to be hLopell, however, now that ho has oxpatrinted himself, Lo will remnin where he is. Tho people of tho United States will be very wall eatisfled to have him stay thoro and hunt skunks for the rest of his worthless life, If he is unable to support himself, wo doubt not that the Government would con. tributo somothing bandsome towards it, or do nnything else that wonld sccuro his re- maining on {he Red Deer. ‘Tho averngo Indian s o very undesirable creaturo in his best estate, but an Indinn of the Srrrive Burs sort is so entirely unsatisfactory that the people of this country can only contem- plato bim with screnity of tempor na a citizon of his Great Mother over tho border, or a disembodied spirit of the happy hunt. ing-grounds of the Great Spirit, INVESTMENTS. Yesterday wo reproduced the purport of a recent article in tho Now York Zimes, warn- ing Eastern capitalista not to invest their monoy in Western mortgnges or renl estate, nand charging bnd faith upon Western agonts, and particularly against the Ohioago ngents, in overvaluing property on which loans are made. Tho statements concerning Chicago investments were obviously untrme when the assertion was mado that foreclosuro sales at the presont timo yleld only from ono-fourth to one-fifth of the money leaned upon tho property. In the case of Chicago proporty, most of the mortgages made for robuilding purposes were on five years' timo; tho gen- eral depreciation of property from one- third to one.lalf, along with tho embar- rassments of thoso who undortook to accomplish more than they could car. ry, and the busincss losses incident to the long season of depression, has compelled many persons o sacrifice their property, and theaa forced sales hava contributod still more to the depreciation. Nevertheless, it is n matter of record that the great bLulk of tho mortgages matnring within the past year liavo beon oither paid off in full or in part, and that where tho lossos wero renewed thoy wero placed at o lower rate than before. It was casy, therefore, to give an immediato and direct answer to tho libel on Chicago investmeonts; indeed, tho statoment was so oxaggerated that it could scarcely pnsa for truth among peoploe who kuew nothing of the circumstances. ‘Wo iavo now information at band which sliows that the statoment in tho Times’ arti- cle in rogard to farm-mortgages was cqually reckless and maliclons, Wo have bofore us tho official report of one of tho largest loan sgencies in Chicago, made Nov. 1, showing the status of the farm-mortgages nogotinted by them, The investments ropresentod in this statemont aggrogate more than &1, o SITTING BULL AT HOME, Mr. Sirrive Burst has settled down and gone to housekeeping on tho Red Door River, in the English dominions, and ropudiates any hair-raising intentions upon tho scalps of his neighbors, To avoid any difficultien with onr Government, the Canadians have in- terned him, They have taken nwny his horses and implements of war, and by ac. cepting him and the rest of his tribo, squaws, papooses, and all, they guarantee his good Lebavior with regard to tho United States, A correspondent of the Now York World tolls of his surroundiugs.

This poiut, along withs the opposition of the samo cliquo of Senators to the appointment of Democrats in. the Houth, is px. pected to pass current for a will. ingness to be governed by a strict in- torpretation ond cousistent application of Civil-Service prnciplos, and at the same time to indicate a higher devotion to party than actuates - President Haves. Unfortu. nately for this profussion, some of the con- ferencos and utterances of the discontented Republican politicians have rovealed incon- slstency ou their part. For iustance, it is salleged and gonorally conceded that more opposition is manifestod bythe politiciaus to Mesars. Bonunz and Evants than to Mr. Key on acoount of thelr possession of Cabinet positions. Pretty much every act done by the Admiuistration whick is objectionable to the disaffected Rlopublicans is laid at the door of one or the other of these two gen- tlemen, and the burden of eriticism and fault-finding is heaped upon them. Cortain. ly this preference for Mr. Kev, s Democrat, over Mesuri. Bouuns and Evast, Republic- aus, does uot indicate that the malcontent that of tho Grand Pacifio recently, Buffalo aro atill quito numerous on the Red Deer, Tho ponds harbor countless flocks of wild fowl.

"lbe speech of Sirrive Bury is a strong one,—that is, it is perhaps the strongest speech that hns evor been mado from an In- dian standpoint,—ond it ssys sll that can be said in defonse of his proclivity to take scalps, murder women aud childrep, and plunder sottlers. There is, howover, a radi. cal ervor in his argument. He assumes the right to roam over an unlimited aren of ter. ritory and live by the chase. The Govern. ment demands that Lo shall settle down upon o rescrvation and not range over the whole country, It has offered to supply bim [y plements for labor, with catile, and seeds, and plenty of land for pasturage pur. It is not willing that a tribe of In- diana, acarcely ablo to fill two or threo Congressmen nre nctuated rolely by attitudo ngainst the Administeation, spectivo places, and their afliliation with the Republican party is of the most umeful kind, since, in their case, os among other men of an independent habit of thought, it is tho result of conviotion inatend of habit or selfish interest. Cant Bonunz was an original Republican. There aro thousands who remember his ringing Republican speeches ns far back as 1850, when the party waa struggling for life. He was n conspicn. ons example of the Germnn dovotion to tho Union cause. 1lo remained truo to the Re- publiean party during the nctive work of re- construction, and indorsed the policy until it becama a mere catchword for the benefit of certnin carpel-bag mdvonturers at the South, e quarroled with Gon. GraNT ag did Sous. tor Sumned, and for the samo reasous. 1o opposed the growing abuses in the public sorvice ns countenanced for a time nnder a Republican Administration, Dut he was with the partly in all its proper aims and patriotic purposes, In 1875 he went active- ly into tho Ohlo campaign and mado speechos against the Democrats, who wore sccking to mnko practical repudiation tha bnsis of political success, and it was largely his n- fluence that leld the Germnns of that State within the party, and carried tho election, which was really the turning-point in the Prosidential struggle alroady imponding. So, in the next year, ho was a sincero and valu- able advocato of President 11aves’ olection, ot a timo when the reform pretonsions of the Democrats formed n great temptation toa man of his inclinntions, and when Mr. T1r- DEN, aa tho Domocratio eandidate, proffered him amore substantial roward in the nssur. anco of n placo in thoe Oabinet if he wonld act with the Democrats, With such a record, thereis no valid reason for criticising Secre- retory Scuunz's Ropubliennism. ‘The same is true of Becrotary Evarts, Tepublican party as did not commend themn. selves to his judgment.

Since their sclection there hns been no hint that they have baen derelict in their duty, no indication ngninst their fit- ness, and no other purpose than {o improve tho condition of tho pnblio servico in keep- ing with the pledges of the Ropublican plat- form. ‘Why is it, then, that a cortain cliqne of Republican Senators who nover had o quar- rol with such Cabiuet officors ns Ricuann- #ON, BrrENar, RopesoN, and Dzuaso con. ceivo 8o strong an antipathy to Scnvrz and, Evants, carrying them so far that they do- claro themselves botter satisfied with the singlo Domocratio member of the Cabinot? Is it Dbecsuse of the hard blows some of them roceived from Mr. Scmunz whon he hold &’ seat in the Bounta Chamber, and because the smart still clings to thom? Is it Lecause Mr. Evants has always refused to be either a tool or an allyof the machine Ropublicans of New York, or, in other words, because ho is too Iarge o man for Conguing to swallow? Ia it bo- cause both Evants and Souunz have con- stroed tho Reform declarations of the Repub- lican platform in good faith, and contributed ovorything in their power since they have been in ofiico to reduce oxpenses, fight rings, and purify tho publio servico? Is it beenuse theso gentlemen aro nnderatood to be uncom- promising enemies of tho machino systom ? It would appear to be something of all this in viow of the fact that their Republicanism is unimpeachable, thoir fitness conceded, and tholr honesty unquestioned.
