Onoe of the stersotyped objections ralsed aguinst the ciroulation of silver dollars ia, that they are too big and heavy to Lo used in lurgo transactions. The reply to this ob. juction is, that business tmen keep their wouey balances on déposit in banks and not in their pocket-books, and they transfer it to their ereditors, customers, and correspond- euts by checks and drafts in 99 cases out of 100, and seldom handle the wouey itaelt excopt when they deposit it. Beooudly, it is proposed by the silver men to authoriza the holders of silver coin and bullion to depoat the same in any Govern- S ment Snb-Treasury, and receive therefor Trensury certificates of deposit, setting forlh the amount of builion or the number of deol- Iara so deposited. Theso certificates ean bo made of 810, $25, $50, $100, 2500, and $1,000 each, in the similitude of bank notes or greenbacks, and payable to bearer. The bnltion certificates will be first-rato collater- als on which to burrow money, and wiil sell to any banker at, ray. 99 per cent of their face in silver coin, while the dollar certifi- catos will pass as money at their faco as free- 1y s bank notes now do. This simple ar- rangement will obriato all the remaining ob- jeetions which the sour, hypereritical gold- ites ara raising on the score of weight or in- convenience in handling sfl\'ey money. S It has been decided by the Cabinet to order the Mint at Philadelphia to resnme tho colnnge of trade dollars, Complaint is made that the monopoly of this coinngo by the Mints at San Francisco and Carson City gives the bullion-holders of the Pacific Conat nn nndue ndvantage, and hence tho order for the reception of silver metal and the coinnge of trade dollats at Philadelphia. A bill Las been favorably considered by the House Committes on Banking and Currency, ordering tha discontinuance of the coinaga of silver 20.cent pieces, which wero origi- nally devised ns n convenience, but which, from their similarity to 23.cent pieces, have proved to bo a nuisance. v ————n— The eloven Western States, including Mis- souri, gave 87 votes for the Matrnrws silver résolution and G agninst it. The fifteen Sonthern Blates gave 78 votes for the silver resolution aud 7 ngainst it. Tho nino East- crn States voted 21 for and 65 against the resolution. 'The three Paclfio Btates voted 4 for and 2 ngalnst. Thus threo of four sec- tions of the Union—West, Sonth, and Pa. cific—supported tha resolution, and only one section—tho East—opposed it, and even thero the socond largest State in the Union —Ponnrylvanin—gave nearly two-thirds of Lor voto for silver. In the face of such unanimity of sentiment on tho part of the peoplo’s ropresentatives, will the President venture to interpose tha voto against the de- mand of the American people? The opinion is held at the War Department that Srrrive Buwn is onco more on United Blates soil, and that he has under hia com- mand a formidable and well-armed forco of hostiles conaisting, in sddition to the band which went with him to the Cueen’s domin- ions, of considerabls accessions from the various agencies, and many Nez Perces who wero not jdentified with Josern's warlike band. Advices from the far Northwest are of an entirely different character, and indi- cato that the War Department is laboring under a noedless scare on tho subject of the movemonts of Strrxo Buwy, who, instond of coming south, is said to havo moved farther away into the Northwest Territory in order to be safcly out of the reach of any body of United 8tates troops that might happen in the vicinity of the border, ] -The naturs of the errand at Washington of Mayor Hzatu and Corporation Counsel Bonrieep s explained in our dispatches this morning. Whon the sudacions schemes of the holders of the VArLzxTINE scTip Was first made public thers was but littla apprehen. slon felt that the City of Chicago and other .owners of the property involved could be serionsly disturbed by thesa titlo-guorillng § but it now appears that there is actnal dan. geér that the project will succeed unlesa tho whole matter is settlod for all tinio by an act of Congress completing tho dedication and confirming tho title to tho Iands in question, It is to be presamed that the necessary logis- lation, the justice of which cannot be for a moment disputed, will be obtainod without auy considerablo opposition. There should surely be no difficulty in securing the prompt passage in both Houses of tha bill for that purpose. NEW PARTY GOLDITE SCARE. There aro newspapers aud politiclans in thls country that ave willing to avail them. selves of tho slightest pretext for building up o new party, with the standing menace to the existing condition of things which such o departure implies. Three or four Yoars ago it waa tha * Granger party” which was to wipe out both the Democratio and Ropublican parties, Thea this function was transferred to the interconvertible, unlimited | Greonback party, Then the * Grangers" and * Groenbackers” were to be united to accomplish general political demolition, Then the Workingmen's and Communist porty wos startod for the same object. A national organization waa formed, and it was nnuounced with a grand flourish that Com. munism would aweop the country, Of course the Prohibitioniats have for years stood ready to ocoupy tho fleld whonover a * new party"” was suggested. Just now, the recent non-party caucus of Congross- men in Washington, called ostensibly to promoto the remonetization of il ver, has furnished an occasion for the creation of another new party—on paper, The Indianapolis Journal, whose common scnse ought to teach it bettor, was tho dis. coverer of tho latest incubation ia the party way. Apparently without any other provo- cation than the aforesald caucus, whoso first meoting will probably be the lnst, the Jour- nal gives tho entire alleged programme for thio formation of a now political ‘erganiza. tion, nndor tho loadership of Ilexbnics, or Voonnres, or Toxt EwiNo, or somo other man, to drive out all the honest men from tho Democratio party and attract all the demagogues from {he Republican party, unito the Bouth and West into a scheme of multiform and variegated rascality, and cap- turo the conntry in order to ruin and plunder it. The ** new party * is going to enfold in ita far.roaching embrace all those who bo- lieve in the remonetization of silver, all thoso who want specie-resumption indefl. uitely postponed (which, of course, would defeat the circulation of silver, as the irre. doemable paper would fall bolow it invalue), all those who waut tae National Banks sbolished, all thoso who desire an unlimited intlation of frredeemable cur- rency, all those who believe in Commu. nism, all those who want the srmy reduced one-half, all those in favor of subaidizing tho Texns Pacific Railroad with Government bonds, and constructing the Mississippilevees out of the National Treasury for the benefit of private land-ownery, all those who want to pay all the fraudalent ** war claims* pro- sonted from tho South, all those who demand that the Government shall give every male adult $500 who will **go West™ and settle on Government lands, and all those who are in favor of fixing the maximum rate of in. terest at 4 per cent, under penalty of forfelt- ureof the principal. Al theso classes, says the Indianapolis Journal, are going to form anew party and tear the country to pieces. Anybody who can conceive of a more irra. tional conglomeration of lunacies to be tacked on a legitimate issue of the day isat liberty to manke np still another *mew party.” II it wo3 a sign of o rearcdintellect in the Indianapolis Journal to imagine such a pre- posterous combination for politital purposes, what shall besaid of n eredulous Eastern jour- nal like the Boston Adrertiser which treats tho proposition seriously? We can only at- tribute sucl an occurrence to a disposition to reizo npon every irrexponsiblo statement and every wild lunacy that comies from the West a8 an expedient for continning the abuse henped upon the Leadsof all who aro not willing to pay their debts on the basis of 110 cents now for an original consideration of 75 to 50 cents, Probably the Indianapolin Journal hnd no higher purpose in cvolving this ridiculous schemo than to furnish the Eastern organs of the gold cligne with new malerial wherewith to malign all the people in the West aud South who aro resisting {he ontrage of exacting a third more from all obligations, public and private, than it was ever ngreed to pay. This is the disingenuouns way the dJournal has of lamenting *the present at- tack upon tho financinl credit of tho nation,” by which it means the demand that all debts shall bo paid in coin (and not gold alono) acconling to cont:act. The most serious nasault upon the credit of the nation is made by thoso who now insist upon changing the terms of the con. tract withont thd consont and. against the wishea of the poople, nnd to gratify the greed of a rapacions class of money-lenders. The monace to tho publio eredit which this effort conveya is to be found in two circum- slances, viz.: (1) The disesfablishment of silver and the exaction of payments in gold alone, which is bankrupting tho country, re- ducing its resonrces, nnd rendering the pay- ment of debls impossible; aud (2) the tampering with the contract in tho one caso will serve as a precedont whorswith to justify desporate men to tampor with it agnin, and the next time to the injury of the money-lendivg class. It tho money-class really desire to avert tho daugors of an indefinlte postponcment of resumption, the abolition of the National Baoks, and an unlimited inflation of an ir- redecmoble paper currency, they will aban. don their pig-hoaded resistance to the ro- monetization of the American silver doilar; for the wild inflation and repudiation theories ‘will gain o strength thoy have necver bofore Leen able to achieve if unjust and despotie legislation shall forco the people to altempt payment of debts, public and private, in gold alone in its ghowing scarcity and abnor- mally high value. Tho movement for tho remonetization of tho silver dollar stands alone on ils own merits, It is a legitimate dewand for the restoration of a monoy-syatem, to the aban- donment of which the people naver consont- ed. It is not in the interest of an indefinite postponemeont of resumption, but in tho in. terest of ensy and permnnent specls payments. It is not in the direction of an joflation and fluctuation of irredeemable curroncy, but calculated to render such infla- tion unnecessary and impracticable by pro.’ viding abundant hard money resources for the country, It is not allied in nny mauner or form to ropudiation, but will provide the surcst means of defeating every proposition and effort to ropndintd in whole or in part, It noeds no new party aud no new allinnces, sinco tho best mon and the most patriotio men in both the old parties favor and de- mand it. Its mofits aro too pronounced to be damaged. by tho financial lunacles or vngarios that seck to fasten thomselves upon it. Tho inflationists and repudiationists who may seck to'uso it as n stopping.stone to tho realizntion of their wild schemes will find themselves utterly disappointed;. they can only atigin their purpose through tho success of tho Bbylock gangin coercing a preposterous attempt to resume in " gold nlono, The most iotelligent, honest, and dotermined hard-money men in the country aro thoss who ndvocato tho re-establishment of the double standard, since that is the only course which will re- storo prosperity nud render resumption prac. ticablo, But if the short-sighted clasa of bondholders and mortgsge-holders, iy their insatiate longing to got moro than‘is due them, shall succeed, by whatover means, in defeating the re-catablishment of silver nioney and the double standard, the foregone failure of an attempt to resumoin gold alone mny bring on a reaction which will not atop short of all tlto disasters they now pioture as the result of silver romonetization. THE ANTI-SUBSIDY RESOLUTION, - Mr, Tox 8corr has recelved a temporary sot-back in tho ndoption by tho House, on Monday last, of a resolution declaring ¢ that in the judgmont of the Ilouse no snbsidics in money, bonds, pubilic land, indorsemonts, or by pledge of public credit should bo granted or renowed by Congress to assooln. tions or corporations ongagod in or purposing to engage in public or private enterprises, but that all appropriations ought to ba limit- ed to such omount and purposes only as shall be imperatively domanded by the public service,” The resolution was passed by a very emphatio majority, the vote standing 174 to 835, or more than two.thirds, Itisan admirsblo resolution as it stands. AS a declaration of public polioy it is sound, As a reflex of popular sentiment on the subsidy question it is perfcet. It not ouly knocks Tox Scorz's subaldy off its feet, but all other subsidies, provided it is nota mero glittering gencrality or a declaration of abstract morality, such as men very often make in the presence of temptation, and such as Congressmon might well feel dis. posed to make, with Toxt Beorr pressing his demand to get ot the Publioc Treasury before Lot the Pacifio Rallroad and Judiciary Com. mittees. We hope it does not balong to that class of resolutions which many people make on New Year's Day as a matter of form, with no oxpectation of ever keeping them, and it leads usto express this hope with unusual forvor, because wo remember that similar resolutions Lave been passed in other Congresses, and that those who have voted for them have subsoquently voted for subsidies without a blush, and apparently in profound iguorance that they Lad ever stig- matized tho subsidy principle as a corrupt and wicked appropristion of the public money, If the Covogressmen who volted for the Baxes resolution were honest in their action, and intonded it a3 a declaration of the position they will occupy whenever job- bersor contractors of sny sort scek to get their hands into the Public Treasury, it is nct only a gratifying exhibition of political hon- eaty, but it ought to be a sufficient rebuke even tos man of Tox Scorr’s cologsal au- dacity to warn him off the premises with his whale gang of lobbyists and log.rollers. It furnishes them with the ready reply when. ever they are approached by the tempters that to vote for their subsidics would be to stultify themselves in the face of this sweep- ing resolution. The country will not be satisfled, however, with the wmere passage of the resolution, excellent.ng it is in spirit, be- canse it has known resoldtions of this sort hafore that proved to bo- mere buncombe, It will require ns proofy of sincerily not alono a mers declaration of faith, but good works ns well. Warned by the failure of previous anti-subsidy resolutions, tho peo- ple will hold those Congressmen who voted for the BaRer resolution to a strict nccount on the record. They will this tima expect something more than a mere declnention of words, They will look to sce this resoln. tion hend off tho railrond, steamship, and other gignntio apeculative monopolics which are secking to fatten on the Publio Troasury. If, in the facc of such an explicit declaration, Toxt Bcorr succceds in deawing his thirty. two millions out of the Troasury to build a vond for private profit, while another com- pany atands ready to build it out of its own pockets with no other help than the exist- ing land.grant, the people will watch tho subsidy votes, and will Liold theso who voted for tho BagEn resolution to n stern account. They will not be caught’ again with bun. combe, MAJ, BURKF'S REVELATIONS. There aro two small bodies of men in this country who are still bothering thoir heads abont the rosult of the Prosidential count. Ona clasa consists of a few Democratic poli- ticians, with tho Now York Sun for n news- paper organ, who hopa to secnre TILDEN the Democratic nomination for 1880 by urging persistontly that he was cheated out of the lnst cloction, Mr. Moxtcoseny Brain re- cently sought to lend this faction by present- ing and urging a momorial in tho Maryland Lcgislaturo, in which an investigation of the alleged conspiracy for swindling Troxx was demanded of Congress, The other class i known as the Implacables of the Ropublienn party, and is made up of disappointed office- scekers nnd thoso who have not beca allow. ¢d, a3 before, to mampulate the public pa. tronago in their own interest. Sonator Coxxrixa appears to be tho real lender of this faction, though liitle Mr. Crawpren, of Noew Iampshire, was put forward for tho ostensiblo purposs of exposing anothar conspiracy for eelling out Pacxanp sud Cumaupenzaiy in order to securs the Congressional confirmation of tho Eleotoral Commission's deciston. Mr. Brun's con- rpiracy and Mr. CranpLEn's conspirgey aro aliko in 8o far naMthoy are both intended to involve President JLaes in o socret conclave with Bouthern Democrats. Mnj. Bunxz is o gontleman who acted as the ropresentativo of thoe Nionorrs Govern- ment in Washington during the controversy over tho Electornl count, and pending the uncertainty of Congressional action. 1o is odmitted on all sides to be in posscssion of all the secrets thera wers at the time, and in a position to finally confirm or finally refuto all the charges made by tho disgruntled Democrats or tho Implacable Republicans. Maj. Donzs finolly made up his thind to spenk, and imparted to tho New Orleaus cor- respondent of Taz TRIbuNe a very full and satisfaclory statoment of tho case, which wa printed last Monday morning. Thisstate- ment isattracting considorable attontion, and it scems to be generally nccopted as dispos. ing at once of both the Domocratio and Re- publican soreheads. First, in regard to the Democratic charge that cortain Bouthern Derhocrats conspired with President Hayxs, or his ropresontatives, to socure a confirmation of the Electoral Commission’s count in consideration of tho Bouthern policy subsequently adopted, thero ara two points of interest.. Ono is Maf. Bunxr's statement that tho Louisiana Demo- crats, and mauy other Southern Democrats, were originally opposed to the schome for an Electoral Commission., Bat they were urged by Mr. TruoEx's porsonal representa- tives (including PrrtoN, his nophew) ““to work up a public sentiment 1n favor of the Electoral bill,” which TiLpex subsequent. ly said ‘‘he had always disapproved.” ‘The Southern Democrats were persuaded in the first instance to acquicsce in this Electoral schemo because the Tomw managers were convinced it was in the in. terest of their candidate ; when it afterwards ‘becamo a question whether or not the Demo- crats in Congress should consont to a con. firmation of the Electoral decision, the Democratio caucus rosolved to acqulesce ‘withont consulting the intorests of Louisiana or South Carolinn, and left the reprosenta- tives of those two Btates to do what they could in o personal way for the Nicnorra and Haxpron Governments, So ncitler befora the agrcement upon the Electoral Commis. slon nor afterwards can the Loulsiana or other Sotithern Democrats bo held responsi- ble for the action of tho Domocratic party; it was Mr, Tiroex's doings, and neither he nor his frionds have any right to complain, Rolative to Mr., Cuannren’s charge of con. spiracy, Maj. Bonxe's testimony is quito as explicit. To bogin with, President Hares ‘wns not personally represented in sny con. sultations that were held, and no agroement was signed by StavLex MaTTurws, OHanLes Fostes, **or any other mau,” in behalf of Mr. Haves, Maj. Bunzs also declares that the Republicans who were present at those consultations nover said or did anything of which they ean be sshamed either from a partisan or patriotic point of view. Dat the strongest point made upon the Implooables is that President Harves, in ordering the withdrawal of tho troops, only followed out a policy already determined upon by Preal. dout Goant, who lad declared that the country would no longer support the bayonet policy, which Dox Camenon, then Beo- retary of War, succeedsd in suppress- ing till the closs of President Guant's Administration. Gon. Gaaxr, however, was the idoal stateaman of the present Implacables, and is the very man whoin they are now urging as the Republican candidate for President in 1880 ; but President Havzs has doue uo more than President Grant hed determined to do, and sven 1f Hares, before his inauguration, had expressed an intention of pursning the policy which he subsoquent. ly adopted, he would only have declared the purposa of adhering to a policy which Graxr bad already adopted. | Thers is another point of interest in Maj. Bunxe's rovelations, He fully confirms the rumor that Benator Covxring, the present leader of the Implacables, Lad atonoe time propared a speoch maintaining that the Louisiana vote should bo thrown out, with the understauding that he (Conxwrixa) should be chosen President of the Benats, and thus become Acting President of tho United States, pendipg s new election to be called. Tioes's friends were satisfied with this ‘arrangement, s they were confident they could secure TiLozx’s nominstion and election, while'Coxxring thought that, with the control of the patronsge, he conld get the Republican nomination instead of Havxs, and meantime be President for a yearat least. Acoording to all accounts, it was not Mr, Coxxraxo that receded from this pro- gramiae, but the scheme was defeated by a shruwd intimation put forth at the time that, e e e — in case it shonld be decided that there had been no eloction, Mr. Monrtox would be chosan as Prosident of the Banate nnd ad in. terim President of tho United Btatos, be. canso ho was a man who could ba trusted to secnro a fair election in the Southern Biates. The dread of Montox, and tho apprehension that tho Republicans of the Bouth wonld thus bo proteeted in casting their voto, led to an abandonment of this schemo by the TiubEx managers, who preferred to trust to tho chauces of nn Electoral Commission. So thora was noth’ag left for Mr. Conkuino but to make war on Hayes after he was innugu- rated. After this slatement of Maj. Bone's we think it will bo the part of wisdom for both the Democratio sorehoads and the Republic- nn Implacables to abandon their silly charges of “‘conspiracy,” nnd lot the Presidential conlmun‘y severoly afone, DOCTORS' BILLS ABROAD. Thero is no man to wrhom wo are prono to run 8o expeditiously as the doctor, and per. Liaps there is no man whose bills at the ond of the year wo question moro sharply, When wo aro disgruntled by disonse and suffering from the thousand nches and pains that flosh is heir to, thero iz no man walecomed more condially. When his bill comes in, Tng after wo have recnperated, we question it as a chiargo for somothing wo have never received, not remembering in the full glow of health the sorvice rendered us when flat on our backs. The whole subjoct of dootora’ bills has come up in England recontly, whero it is generally supposed that n physician charges a guinea n visit, medicines extya, or a triflo over $5 in gold, when in reality it is only a fow of the aristocratio, gilt-odged physicians, whodoctor wenlthy old dowagers or fussy pa- tients with long purses, who get any such sum. The London Zimesof the 10th inst, containg n whole column of communieations from pationts and doctors on the subject of bills, which shed considerable light upon the subject. The first writer grumbles because tho doctors do not presont details in their bills,and saya: *‘I have been given to un. derstand that it is not contrary to etiquette, on first calling in a doctor, to inquiro what nre his terms; but of what good is it for ma to know that his visits aro to cost so much ench if, without n single itpm of defail, T have simply the annunl privilege of drawing o Christmas check, mote or less heavy, in sntisfaction of thoso oracular words ¢ medical attondance’?” To this a doctor replies: 4Tt does not scom to hava occurred to an ¢ Overwrought Patient * that a recital of itoms involving partionlars might be very incon. ventent, frequontly anything tmt agreeablo, and somotimes even indolicate.” Another observer thinks that tho whole tronble arises from ‘‘tho false, mischiovous, and vulgar fecling that ignorance of what a person may have to pnyis a proof of delicacy, rofine- ment, aud gontility.” Ono physician writes that it is the establishod custom of tho medical profession *to send out their bills at tho beginning of the now yoar, charging the whole nnaual sum under ‘medical at- tondanco and medicines supplied,’ ete. It in usual, however, to partienlarizo the name of each patient, and the length of the’illness, thus: ‘For Mr, ——, from Jan, 4 to Feb. 9'; mnd somo prootitioners even specify the number of visits, and add ot the foot of tho bill, “Particulars if re. quired.’ The usual charges in conntry towns vary from 03 6d to 108 6d a visit, medicines included, according to the circumstances of the patient. Physiclans stick to tho time. honored guines, but somo allow patients to como to them two or threo times withput additional fee.” The substance of all the communications is that while the physicinus still retain tho custom of charging the old. time honorarium of a guinea a visit, in real. ity thoy do nothing of the kind, when their bills are strictly analyzod, since no oharge s made for many of their visils, and doctors who do not feel noble pulses and examine rich old dowagers' tongues, but physic the ordinary people, “bupply thoir medicines, which nre included in the charges. The supposition of maouy peoplo that they aro paying & guines a visit evidently grows out of the practice of Jump- ing tho bill at the end of the yoar at so many pounds, The averago chargo per visit nppears to be from $2 to &2.50, which is not unressonable ns com. pared with the charges of our own phy- sicians, Of course, if o royal liver is more valuable than a pleboisn one, and n fat old dowager's nerves are finer than an ordinary woman's, they ouglit to pay more for re- pairs. On tho wholo, tho English patient* bas no more reason to complain of his phy- sician than the American, excopt, perhaps, that the Englishmau, whon he geta well, is a more unreasonablo customer than the Ameri. cnn, Inview of the alarming results that might occur in caso of a general sirike nmong tho doctors, perhaps their bills should be troated with distinguishod consideration, par- ticularly as it is & man's own fault that he has to employ a physician, If it were not for human folly, doctors might be unnecessa- ry to a very largo extent. THE HOUSE VOTBT?DN“TKE SILVER QUES- The vote in tho House of Ropresantatives on Monday, on concurringin the Martnzws resolutions declaring that the national obligations are all payable in silver or gold, at the Government's oplion, and that the rcmonetization of silver would not be a violation-pf public faith, was very emphatio and ovérwholming. ‘The debates have atrengthened the support of the Bilver bill, The vote was: Yeas 190, nays 70, and 24 ab- sent or not voting, Of those not voting about 16 would have voted In the afirmative if they hiad been present.
