Every man who owns property, overy man who has copital in eny shape, overy holder of real monoy, mortgage, or coilatoral, will in- sist apon nspecial coin contract in every time- transaction. No man will Lo trnsted for a yoar or o month, a woek or day, uxcept on a contract to ropay in coin. No man will part with anything of roal value with a pros- peet of repayment in a rapidly-depre- cinting corrency. Tho people who think they are in favor of flonding the country with thonsands of millions of **absoluto” gorip will do well to pondor just what this specinl-contract nacessity will bring obont, It is eostimated that the varions bonks of tha conntry—National, State, private, and savings—havo about $2,300,000,000 of monoy loancd out among the peaple. It is sald that tho mortgnge loans amount to botweon $1,000,000,000 and $2,000,000,000 moro, Bny the nggregato pri- vata loans amount to $4,000,000,000, there is an averago of 82,500,000,000 (including short-timo bank loans) coming duo annnally. Lot the flat monoy boe sproad abroad, and not ono dollar of all theso Joans can bo ro- newod oxcopt on tho basis of a spocial coin contrnct. Then thore wiil bo an embargo on manufacture, production, and trada of all kinds that will produce such hard times ns havo never been dreamt of in this country.- Tho * absoluto " monoy will bo ns dend-sea fruit in the hands of those who now oxpect to reap fortunes; it will turn to nshesin their grasp. Tho farmor's bushol of whent moy bring him fitty ** logal-tonder " dollars ; bis horss may bring him 500 of theso same “logal-tonders,” and 8o on ; but he will find it poor, miserable, uncommorcial trash, while hm oredit will be utterly destroyed, and the whole ocountry wil bo in n condltion of alarm snd disaster If tho Greonbackers ask why tho coiv- contract polioy was not adopted when tho United Btates Govornment first began to jusuo the present legal-tendor paper money, the answor is simplo onough. Tho first lssue of §50,000,000 was redeemablo in gold, and recoivable for all dues, including duties ; tho next issme of $150,000,000 waa fundablo in 5-20 Government bonds boaring gold in- tereat; 8o the greenbscks camo out by de- groes with cortain guarantoes ; the stimulant of war was upon us, and the people were do- torminod to fight it out; thero had been no previous exporience with this kind of money, and thoro was no such threat §s there is now of “ gbeolute " and “flat” serip of anutter- 1y irrodoomablo and worthless character. But the Amesioan people have lived through ono ora of intoxicating inflationand the sub- soquent ruinous resdjustment of values. Thoey will not hazard another oxporimont, in which disnster ia s cortaln prospect, but will, nt the vory outset, establish the mpecial-con- traot rule, which hLas always boon maintained {n Oalifornia, and will thus dofeat tho Na- tionals and Communiate from the momont they shall becomo really formidable, THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. From an officlal copy of the so-called River snd Harbor Lill, we mako the follow- iug nbatract of a large proportion of the op- propriations, lcre are specimens s bad granted concesaions in this namo of Rus- sin for surpassing whnt she thought of mak- ing! Whila he aould not rafse any objection to tho concemsions they had felt it thair duty to make, ha meroly wishod to atate that Tus- sla made those sacrifices from a desira for pence, Cratty Gontsomaxore! Magnanimons Scnouvarory! What concessions has Russin mndo? Not ono fouching the iudemnity, the Dandanolles, Borvia, Montanegro, Greeeo, Asin Minor, Dessarabin, the aatonomy of Bulgaria, or the freedom of the Slava. Not one concopsion {s yot apparent oxcopt in the proposed oxtonsion of tho new Dulgnrian boundary so ns to seouro s port on the Fgeon Ben, The turkey was earved and nll tho cholco pleces wore diatributed bofore the Congross mot, leaving it nothing to do but to administer upon the giblots and bones. No wonder that Prince Disyanck quiotly suggested to tho representatives that they muat oxpedite business, na he was gotting tired and should olear ont if they didn't hurry. Tho sardonfo ngreement between England and Russia shows that tho diplo- macy of the present has not advanced & whit in dignity or honesty beyond tho diplomacy of the days of Louvia XIV,, whon craft always conquored. $46,000 at tho harbor of Memphis, §84,000 in the harbor of Viekabntg. and $12,000 near LnCrosse. And out of the monoy for the improvement of tho Migsouri River there must be expended $30,000" nonr 8t. Josoph, $50,000 near Omaha nud Conncil Bluffs, §20,000 at Nobraska City, £20,000 at Atchi. son, $30,000 at Omahs, $25,000 at Fort Leavenworth, nnd $12,000 at Sionx City. This kind of deception is contemptible. Di- rect approprintions for the *‘harbors” at theso points wera too glaringly fraudulent, and therefors, under tho protext of improv- iug the rivers, tho money was located in thelr particular looalities. Tho more the bill is examined, the more disreputable and disgraceful it apponrs. It is logistation for which 10 person will take 1ho responsibility. It appropriates $9,500,- 000 of moncy, the greater part of which is to he wastod, and for which there will not ba tho alightest work tosbow, It isanex- penditure of 9,500,000 for electioncering porposes. It fs a Iaw requiring o lax of at least $12,000,000 to meol tho oxpenditure, and of the expouditurs at Joast 50 per cont 1may, so far as accomplishing any pnblie ben- ofit or service is concornod, ba thrown into the wen.

No greator act of logislative recklessness was over en- aatod, and thory onght to be some parsons Lield rosponsible therefor, ) A DIPLOMATIC FARCE. The Europoan Congress, considered In its incoption, its surroundings, its discussions$ and its rosults, is ono of the most solemn farces ovor enncted in the history of nntions, Thoero {8 not a fontnre of it that is not brqadly ludicrous, and ils ludicrousnoss fa all tho mora palpable from tho enforced nir of dignity and serionsness which the plenipo- tontiaries sud high jiuks feol called upon to woar. Their suporiority to ordinary hinman bolnga fa only attested by their ability to koop their faces straight. If any ono of them wero possossed of a temperament liko that of Bunset Cox, he would explode the wholo Congress with a grin, for if any one of these solomn.visaged Ministers should intimate by a relaxing of the muscles of the face, by lay- ing his forofingor upon his nosa, or by wink- ing his left eyo, that the littlo gamo was all cut and drled, tlhere wonld be an ond of tho Congress, and the world wonld laugh ot thom.

By this moemorandum, pub- lisghed in Tue Toinuse yosterday, wo find, among other things, that England dis- cards the longitndinal divislon of Bulgaria, whilo Russia agroes not to insist upon it at oll if England objocts, nlthough sho would liko to point out-theadvantagoes of it. Rus- ein insists that tho Turks ought to get outof Southern Bulgaria. England accopts the re- tront, and Russia will not object: to what is onacted by the Congress. England, how- ovor, will inslst upon the right of the Baltan to canton troops on the frontior, and Russia insists upon the right to discuss it. Rusala engages that her war indomnity shall not involve torritorinl annexation. England will not contest tho final deofslon of Russin, but will point out the ** serlous objeotions® to it—it she has any., As to Dayazid, which s the entropot of = Turkish trado with Porsis, Rtussla is willing to let the Turks keop it, but in oxchaugo for it has given to Porsia tho territory of Khotour, which the Shah has always waoted.
