They adopted s plat- form in which gold end silver are recognized as tho most staplo basis for the commercial necessitics of tho world, and which condemua repudintion and declares for tho honest and just payment of the pullio debt; but when it camo to dealing with tho resemption «question they followed Iloraom Grexiry's mothod in roforence to tho tariff, and shifted tho responsibility by relegating it to the Jndgnent and integrity of their Bénators and epresontatives in Congress, Onr Washington dispatches this morning contain information of vital consequonco to the farmers of the Northwest and to the country at large, being a full description of the rocontly-discovered proceas by which cornstalks and sorghum-cane can be convert- ed into sugar, and by tho use of which, to- gether with o few simplo and cheap appli- ances, overy farmer can bo his own sugar. maker, If ft is truo, as is olaimed, that the process invented by Prof, Brewast, of Pennsylvanin, will produce from corn. atalks and gorghum-cane sugar iu amount and quality equal to that obtained from sugur-cave, thy discovery is of mare valuo and importance to tha poople of America than would be the development of & hundred Lonanza mincs.” Whether it Is trus or not ill be demonstrated beyond question with- in a short time, as there can be no difficulty iu detormintng the uctanl value of the process described n our dispal this morning, A new and daring departuro in journalistic enterprige is brought to the notico of the roaders of Tue 'Tumsung moring, who will be interestod in knowing that o spocial correspondout has beon dispatohed by this paper to Memphis for the purpose of fur. nishing an accurate and detailed acconut of the prevalence of the yellow.fover scourgo in that city. Tho post mude vacant by the death lust week of Mr. Hennrer Law. vuuM, cily editor of the Momphis Alo. alunche, and correspondent in shat city of Tur Cuicaco Tuisvng, has now been filled Ly Mr. AL H.

In both theso citivs it is re. posted that tho number of uew cascs 1s daily decrensing, and in the formar city phiysicinns who have fought the pgstilence for weoks anmounce thelr inlention of leaving for other localities where thoir presance I much more needed. Even sorrowing Gronada summons np a smile and proalsims to tho world that the plagne has loosenod its hold upon thet community, as is evidenced by the frequent appearance upon the stroota daily of now convalesconts as well as by the spprociable falling- off in the number of new or serious casos. Thero appears to be little changoe in the sitaation in Memphis. The doath.list of yosterdny, as compared with that of Mon. day, gives some ground for encouragement, but the further announcement that the num. ber of now cases wes much larger than that of the day before tends to counterbalance any hopeful foeling that may have arisen. Reports trom the inland towns are, on the whole, of a more assuring charaoter. 1t rermnained for Bisxarox yesterday to come to the front in support of tho Anti- Bocialist bill brought forward in the Reich- stag by tho Government, and to undertake to deprive the opponents of the measure of their chief weapon, which is tho assertion that the increase of Soolalism is Iargely due to the secret encourngement afforded by the Government a few years ago. Herz Bxaeu made this charge the groondwork for a fierce attack upon the bill in his speech on Mon- day, and assumed to make mumor- ous intoresting disclosures confirmatory of the allegation. Prinee Bisuanox in his spesch yesterdsy denied singly and severally Benev's statoments concerning the formor connection botwoen the Government and the Bocialist loaders, challenging any of them to specify occasions when he had held communication with them. He denounced the Bocialists as bandits arrayed against tho lives and scourity of the Emperor and his mubjocts, and appealod to tho Reichstag to provide protection ngalnat their atrocious de- signs. Latar on Herr Debet reiterated his provious statements, and demanded tha consuro of Bismanck for characterizing the Sooialista as Landita. At the expiration of the dobate, the bill was by a large vote refer- red to 6 committeo composed of twenty-one mombera, BUTLER’'S MOB. Bex Butrrs opencd his disgracoful cam- palgn in Massachusetis yestorday by seizing the Democratic Convention ©i ef armis, It was in avory sonso of the word a Fiat Con- veontion. Ho daliberatoly took it by brute force, pronounced it a Democratic Convon- tion, and it wont on with 1ts work, notwith- standing tho protestsof tho Chairman of the Domoceratic State Cantral Comumittee and tho rospeotablo membors of the Domocratic party. Tho coup d'elal was a trick worthy of Borumn. At 5 o'clock in the moming his mob, 300 strong, broke in the doors of the hall and took possession of it. The Mayor of the oity requested the burglars to leavo, but aa thoy refused Lo consonted that thoy shonld remsin. Thoy then stationod gnards at the doors, or- ganized, and proceeded to businoss, The Chairman of the.Democratio State Cen. tral Committoe, finding the hall in posses- slon of & mob, declared the Convention ad- journed, nmid hisses, cat-calls, and gonoral confusion, and the anti-Butlerites wont baock to Boston to hold the Domocratio Conven- tion in Fanouil Iall, leaving Boruen free to nominate Limself, - Tho regult was a foregone conclusion from tho very outsel. It haa all aloug been ap- paront that this demagogue, like his friend Kranxar, proposed to corner the Domocratic party and then grind it. It now romains to be soen how the Democratio party of Masan. chusotts will take this affront, and whethor thoy will tamoly esubwit to Lis compul- slon. It will bo no losa intoresting to waich the courss of the Republicans, It they are wise thoy will jmprove thelr opporiunity to bory Buriza 50 far out of sight that ho can never bo resurreclod, By making a ticket acceptable to tho honest-money Democrats, they can sweep the fleld. :Tho Boston Herald, fore. secing tho result of the Worcester Conven- tion, says:® ** Why not, for instance, nomi- nate a sound, honest-monoy Democrat for Lioutonant Governor and another for At- tornoy-Gonernl?” Cortainly thoy might go farther and fare worse. Any combination wanld ba preforable to the eleotion of Bures or the indorsement of Koarneyism acd the crazy carrenoy detusion which the Fiatists are detormined to force upon tho country. MONETARY USE OF SILVER. A Paris correspondent of the Now York Tridune, whose entire lettor attests o thorongh familiarity with the proceedings of tho International Monctary Conferonce, makos the following estimate of tho actual influenco of the meeting: Aw announced by telegraph, the Conforonce sepa without formink & monetary union, but the ceneral efoct o the Conlerence has been to strike & blow at tho mania for goll mono-motals Hem, which took it rixe in thy Congress beld in Paris in 1807, for the purposs of unifytuz the culnago of tho world, The resultsof gold mono- wetallism 1o Enmr« for the past five years have Lmv-d aaything bul satisfactury, and had It not an for local political considarationy, cepecislly within tho bi-metallic Siates of the Lattu Unlon, it u belluved that tha Conferunce would have ru- sulted in a full resllzation of all the wisies of the United Ststes Government In calting it Aw it s, the importance of the uffect on the tionotary yuok: tion of the wectiug of the Confurcnc cannot well be overestimated. 1t drow oul the drat enunciation of genersl European opinlon on the suvject since the (ll-advised aclon of Uermany fullowing the Franco-Prowsisn war, while the decluration with which the Conference closed calle a decided Lalt tu the movemcnt for the Lanistinent uf ailver o tha Euet, ne mcnu{‘l:l nnl[ to be uxed by barbarous na- %mu. aad makes the future of siiver very prowise g, Lhis view of the caso {u entitled to partic- ular respoct because it is printed in one of the journals that would be incliued to deny it if posalble. 'The conelusions reached by the Conference as woll as the discussious also bear it out, Tho first and wain propo- sition, submitted and agrood upon as the ex. pression of a 1aajority of the European Htates, was that **it iv necesaary to inaintain in the world the monetary functions of silver 04 well a8 thoae of gold.” There was not a single representative of auy nation that su. tagonized this proposition; theso is probably not astudont in finance' that will seck to contradiot it. It {s universally concedsd that, it silver shoald be suddenly withdrawn from recognition as legal-tendor mouney in all the groat counnerciat uations, leaving gold slone a3 o medium of exchangy and mussura of values, thoro would bo such a rovolution i prices 23 to produce a univorsal panie, the like of which the world has nevor experioncod. “tho wide-spread and pernicious influence of werely partial domonetization In Germany bas furnished some idea of whata genersl intoruational domonetization would have brought about; aud, wish that invigw, it is 00 wonder that the Confereuce, though re- fusing to sgroe uponan international ratio, doclared that it {8 not merely * desirabls,” as was firt Yeportod, but necessary, to maintain tho monetary fuuctions of silver. Thero is reason to beliove that this strong expression wus dictated by the represeutative of Great Dritain, notwithstauding tho latter’s adler- . onco to tho single gold standard: and tho declaration will go far towards manufactering popular sentiment overywhero in favor of in- tornational action to nasmre a condition of things which this Conference deoided to bo necossary. The woll-informed ocorrespondent whom wo bave quoted sttributes to *¢local polite foal considerations within somo of the bi- metallio Statos of the Latin Union * the fail. ure to make the only propar application of the goneral conclusion reached by the Con- ference. Iu order that thers may be no mis- apprehonsion, it should be statod that this romark can in uno wise spply to France, which was ready at all times to ngroe to the intornational project. Indosd, France has dous more than any other nation to maintain tho monetary function of silver during the lnst meventy-fiva years, The eilver frano wns adopted os the monetary unit of France in 1803, snd it was sgroed that gold should be *'concurrently ™ legal- tendor. 'That hos beon the actnal condition of things ever aince. Thora have beon tem- porary mod!fications of the Coinagelaws to meot emargencics, such ns the restrition imposed on the coinage of silver in order to protect France from an inpouring of German silver during the proocss of German demone- tization ; but silver has been at all times, s it 18 now, on unlimited legal-tonder, and the doublo standard has played on importsnt part in maintaining "the even prosperity of France daring a period of almost universal distress, So Greoce and Italy, of the Latin Union, wera ready to favor the American project of an international agreement for the mnintenanco of tho double standard. The dissonting membors of tho Confer- onco were from Belgium, under the im- medioto influence of Great Britain, snd Switzorland, under the influence of Ger- many. England and Germany may be said to staml alono in tho way of an interna- tiopal Lnsis, which is certainly the surest mosns of malntaining what all admit to be necessary. As their motives are entirely selfish, it is not likely that thoy will change thoir position until their interests suggest a change. This might bo brought about very quickly by genersl demonotization of silver by the othor nations; but the objee- tion to such a remedy is that all would suffer o8 much a4 Eogland and Genmany simply to bring theso two to terms. They will begin’ to find that it is unprofitable for them to maintain an cxclusive gold standard when thelr gold shall begin to disappoar in large quantitics In payment of balances against them, and this will come if the nations with a doublo standard continue to restriot the coinago of silver to their own needs so long 08 Fogland and Germany treat it ns ballion, Moanwhild the conclusion of the Conforence, admitting that it is necessary to maintain tho monotary uso of silver, will bo the most striking and endaring impression left upon the people everywhero, S8OME RESULTS OF THE MAINR ELECTION. 'The results of tho Maine eoloction aro not 80 disasirons as was ot first apprehended, 1t is now protty certain that the State oflicors and Governor's Council will be Republican, .Ad tho election of Governor is thrown into the Logislature, tho law provides that the Iouse of Ropresontatives must sond to the Benate two pamos solocted from all tho can- didates having the highest pumber of votes, Tho names of Coxxon and Ganorrox will be reported, as the Ropublicans and hard-monoy Domocrats will probably act together to this end. The Senate is Republican, and will finally dotermine the choloe. Rexn, Fure, and Linpeey, Republicans, aro elocted to Congress; the other two members alectod are Lanp, described as * a soft-money dema- gogue,” aud Muncn, described as “a wild. oyed Communist.” Now the question is, how much has the Domocratic party gained from all this? The Portland (Mo.) Lrexs snys that *the Dem- ocratio party eastof the Kenncbeo Rivor has censed to exist ; the Greonback anaconda hes swallowed it; west of the Kennebec it is broken, disorganized, and dlaintegrated.” far a3 the Democratio party is concernod, the Maino clootion soems to have boon wmore disastrous than it was to the Republican patty, It is predictod that the contost in Malno, 8o long as the currency question is open, will bo between the Republican party, ropresonting the conservative flnancial doo- trine, and the Fiat party, reprosonting irro- deemable shinplasters. ‘The exporionce of the Democrats In Maine is not unlikely to be their experience in other States whore they liave nursod Fintlam; the Democrats will disappear to mske way for the Na- tionals, The Yondon I%mes, in s rocent article suggestod by Ben Burien's candidatore for QGovernor of Massachusetts, and also for the Prosidency {f ho sholl succeed in belng clected Governor, says that the two old partics may find it neccasary * to pool their issues " also in ordor to combat the daygoer of Comuunism and Fiatlsm combined. But the result in Maine would seem to indicate that Burrxn's success in Mosaachusetts, and othor successcs elsowhero for Communism and Fiatisim, will lead up tothe rotiroment of the: Demooratic party from the fleld and the strengthening of the Republicon party for n square contest with tho demsgogues and fanatics who threaten the country.
