Tho recent opition of tha Attorney-General has pointod out the way by which Republican meetings can bo held under the protection of tho Federal laws—viz, by making tho election of Congressmen the chief s suc-~and the bulldozing Democrats Lrought to justice if thoy persist in breaking up the weetings, It would not bea badidea to sond o fow men like Ganrierp, Buaise, and Hex Hannisox to speak at Republican meet- inge fu South Caroling, as sn offsel to the shotgun plan. ———— A lotter which wo print this morning from 8 New York correspondont presents the po- litical situntion in that Stato as being in the highest degreo oncouraging to the Repub. licans, and tho reverse for the Dewmocrats, Iho former ure working, as they Linve not worked beforo for years, shoulder to shoulder, oud with no visible trace of the dissensions which but o few wecks sgo threat- ened to seriously impair the chunces of success in November. On the otber hand, (ke Democracy is tom by the warnug of faclions, each more intenscly interested in the defeat of theother than in tho success of the party as a whole. Insuch o condition of things the Repub. licans confidontly expect fo clect their can- didate for Judye of tho Court of Appeals, to obtwin 8 yood workivg majority in ke Legislature, und thus moke sure of a Repub- * lican United States Senator, and®to mgko | ® gain of Cougressmen in wany of the clowe districts, such a3 the Eleveutl, Fowteenth, Sixteenth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first, and Thirty- recond, in which Democrats were olecled by small majoritics two years ago, Tho Chicago cigar-makers havo adopted ono oxtremely sensiblo resolntion,—that is, that nothing can he gnined by inaugurating striken against individnal employers, They propose to strike through tho ballot.box, which ia by far the wiser plan, sinca it costs nothing to vote, while it has been proved by exporienco that atrikes in tho workshop cost more than they come to; that the wages lost and tho monoy spent during the interval of idleness which follows n strike are seldom regnined if tho atriko succeeds, and nover if it fails. The ballot.box is free, and the majority tnles, and whilo thera will bo found a wide divorsity of opinion regarding the wisdom and wutility of the mensnres advoented by the Sacinlistic Labor party ns nremedy for low wnges and long hours, no ouo will dispute the right of the working- man to strike through the ballot-box. SHALL THE CU E. DEBASED? ‘Iho prosent situation of American politics, 80 far s the financial question is concerned, presenta n controversy which las no prece- dont in the history of nations, ‘Thoro is no instance in history whero n nation, in tho absonco of war or other over- whelming calamity, possessing a sonnd and puro curroncy, has voluntarily sought to do- baso that currency and destroy ita valuo, and: destroy the nationnl credit. Yot that is the proposition now pending beforo thoe coun- try, that the United States, wilh a paporcar- reucy and a coin currency all of equivalont aud oxchangenble valno, shall voluntarily, aud in time of profound pence, discard the use of toin as money nnd debnsa the valno of tho paper money. In the history of*man. kind thero is no precodent for such & proceeding, and yot the American peoplo at this time aro in a mnzoof excitoment over the question of adopting this extraor- dinary proposition. ‘Tho issuo of paper monoy and the long-continued circulation of doprocinted paper money has been common, 1t oxiats now in Austria, Itoly, Russin, nnd various Spanish American States. It has oxisted in past times ; but we do not reenll an instanco of the lssuc of national paper money whero it has not bean forcod by 1m- perative necessity, or its continuanco in o depreciated condition save whon war or other national disaster or enlamity has renderod it impossible to discontinue it or to improve its valne, Austrin, Russin, and Italy have n depreciatod enrroncy to which the Govornmont i3 a party;bat tho con- tinunnce of warand various politieal compli- eations havo rendered it impossible for either country to discontinuo.the nse of the foreod money or to improve its value. Tho efforts, hopes, and energics of - all threo nations have, however, boen dirccted, not only to improve the value of the paper enrrency, hnt to ronder its farther use uunuccessary. Franco, drivon by tho nocessity of war and tho nctunl presouce of a conquering eneiny, waa driven to ndopt a forced curroncy. The moment the enemy was withdrawn, tho na. tional energy and menns wero dovoted to re- dnce and oventually rotire all the paper monoy ixsued noder the oxigencies of war. And Fronce wag succesaful. Annually the Coveornment put n portion,of its paper debt in tho shapo of bonds, and destroyod paper money to an cqual amount, aud on the 1st day of January last tho Government ceased to bo responsiblo for a dollar of paper money, aud not a dollir of legal-tonder paper has existed in France since thon, Franco having provided, at the timio tho le- gal-tendor paper was issued, tho date when it sbould coase to be n legal-tender, and when tho Government would rodeem it, it auffered but lttle from dopreciation of the currency, But nevor at any time did any man in Frauco claiming to bo sane proposa to degrado or dobnse tho valus of the paper money, or to perpetunto its existence ono hour longer than the timo originally fixed for its redemption, Even in ltussia, Italy, and Austrin the man who wonld: propose to mako legal-tendsr paper money perpetual, or to make it absoluto, or to debaso 1ts value in any way, would be regarded na o lunatio pro- posing to dostroy the national existence, and to rob aud plunder the people, Tho paper monoy of thoso countries, as of necessity 1nust bo tho case in all countries, dopends for its valuo and its accoptancent any valno upon the promise and tha, expectation of its oventua! rodemption in coln, and of its bocoming equal in value to coin. Those peoplo look forwani to a speody deliverauco from the curio of dopreciated paper; they have endured the afitiotion and the loss n long lime, and thoy snticipate hopefully n day when thuey will lave a currenoy liko that of England, and of Germany, and of France, which s not only abundant in volume and of coin value, but which circnlatos in common with the national cola. The offorts of all pooples and of countrios is to have ond preserve o curronoy of tho lighest value and of the moyt enduring character. 'Chore is uot a dollar of logal-tonder paper in ofrculation at par in any country, except whero that paper 13 rodvomable on demand in coln, 'Thoro is not o peoplo in any land who woald not re- Joicingly got rid of all depreciated papor wonoy, if such were possiblo; and it is only in tho United Btates, where intolligence is supposod to be moro goneral than vlsewhoro, that s proposition to sbandon coln, and to abandon the use of paper baving coin value, i actually and publicly advocutud as a mons- ure of national policy, Tho schemo s not merely to take depro- ciated paper monoy and make it perpotual, not merely to accopt it as a porwauent evil and an incurablo disease with which tho country has become familiar; that would be on jusanity bad euough, it is truo, but which wight be attributed to an effect as the long use of poison creates a desiro for the drug that is destroying the person using fi. 'The Uuited States bogan the use of paper mouoy inatimo of war,as o uational necossity. ‘Chls money has been in exiatouce nearly sov- enteon yoars, during which it has always Leen depreciated, —sinking as low as 85 conts on tho dollar in value. Hiuco the closo of thio War, thirteen years ago, thae people Lave suffered an o ons loss from tho uso of this money, although it has been alightly im- vroving, Financial disaster and the auui- Lilation of credit values and jmagivary for- tuncs kave attended the protracted uso of this wouoy. At last, after enduring tho curso and the loss for sovenicen years, tho national credit Las rocoverod. ‘Tho day of prowised redewption and the fulfillment of tlio pational pludges has drawn noar. The papor mouoy of the country Is practically at par, though it will not be so legally for eiglty duys. Tho ualion is convalescont; tho long-euduring malady is about to pass away, 'The §700,000,000 of paper money iz ubout to becowe equal in valuu to $700,000, 400 of coln 5 £100,000,000 of cvig, Litherio Jocked up because of the depreciation of the paper woney, is wbout to paus iuto gyne eral use, with tha paper, aa tho cnrroncy of tho conntry. Every dollar, whether paper or coin, is to bo a dollar in fact a8 well as in name; the conntry i3 to kunow no morea enrrency of fluctnating value. The Unitod States aroe to take position with Trance, En. glond, Germany, and Holland, with a curren- cy all of the snme valne, all equivalent to coin, all having the purchasing power of coin, nud nll exchangoable for coin. Al this moment, whon the nation is about to ronss from the long prostration,—from the encrvation of n depreciated papor cur- rency,—and to enter upon a renewed life of prospenty, it is proposed that the Govern- ment shnll demonatize all coin; shall de- demonotizo all paper money of coin valno; shall demonetize all papor containing a promise to pay at any time in apything of value, and to flood the country with reams of printed paper, irredeomable, promiscless, debpased, valuoless, and stamped b the legal ney of n nation' of honest, intolligent people. Wao submit to thereasonof all men, loarned and nnlearned, of every ocenpation aud pmployment, who make any pretonse to patriotism, intelligence, or honesty, whother such a schomo should bo couirtensnced for onoe hour. BEN HILL 'The bittor, coarse, malicions, personal as- sault of Bev Hin upon the Presidont sur- prises everybody who faila to comprohend Bouthern character and Southern purposes. It surprises that largo class of persona found in ovory community who go nbout recking to gatlier grapes from thorns and figs from thistles, Brx 1wy supported the Electoral schomo on * high constitutional grounds.” He stood at the hend of that column of superlatively pnro Southern patriots who, fresh from the most determined, persistent efforts to destroy tho Constitution, now gathered it to their bosom as the only ark of ita safety. Aftor Mr, Havzs was inasugurated, BeN Iy took Aéim to his bosom along with the Constitution, patted him affcctionatoly, and rccommonded Southern Domocrats to his favor for offlcinl positions, 3r. I Lugged the Constitution so ardently, ond kept np such a stendy flow of honeyed words in the ear of the President, that the unsuspecting publio came o look upon him ns one of the sublimost of self- sacrificing patriots, A Washington dispatch commenting upon his Iata lettor says that ho is regarded as moro honost and nlueom.ln his convictions than most of tho Sonthern Dem- ocrats ; and the Now York Jleraid refers to Hiim as * ono of the most prominent among those Bouthorn Domocerats who chose patriot. leally to throw the weight of their influenco in 1876 In favor of n peacoable and constitu. tional sottlement of the Presidentinl dis- pute.” There is an opisode in the carcer of Ben Hruy which sheds light on the quality of Lis lonesty, We allude to the celebrated dle- bata in the Lower liouse of Congress, par- ticipated in by Braisg, Garrrern, and Hiny, on the proposition to confor special honor upon JerreasoN Davis by begging him to accept o pardon, In the conrse of that do- bate it wns shown by uncontestiblo evidoneco: 1. That the brutalities committed upon Union prisoners at Andersonvillo by Gen. ‘Wivpen were unparalleled in tho aunalas of Listory. 2, That thoso ntrocitios were perpotrated with o daliberate purpose on Wixpen's part to dacimate the Union ranka by the nssnssi. nation of prisoners. In explanation of such purposo ho said: ** T am going to Luild a pen hero that will kill more damned Yun. kees than can bo destroyed in the front.” 8. That notico of the fact of the commis- slon of these horrible atrocities wns brought to the attoution of Jeprenson Divis with a recommendation for the romoval of Winpen, aud that Davis not only declined {o removo the bratal assassin, but promoted him to the snpromo control of all the prisoners In tho Confederacy. 4, That Davis retained Wrxpen in the po- sition of Commissary.Goneral of all tho prisons and prisoners throughont thoe Con- federacy until, in the langunge of Gen. Gan- YIELD, ** the mereiful providence of Gopatruck Kim dead in hix tent.” ‘What ‘courso would an *honest” mnn have pursued under such eircumstancos? Ouo of two, Either ho woull have main- tained that nbsolute silenco which gives nusont, or would biave fraukly admitted the forco of the truth, allowing the name of Davisto go down in bListory londed with desorved infamy., ' What Blid Bes Hiun do 7 Tu the faco of caso 8o Atrong as to paralyzo nearly ovory other Southern Congressman's tonguo, Bex Hirt roso iu his placo and pro- cocilod to make (1) an claborata defonso of Andorsoavitlo ; (2) n general dofenso of the managemont of Robel prisons throughout the Confederacy; (3) on the strength of an anonymous letterin & newspaper to charge grosa atrocities uwpon the conductors of prisons at tho North, On this point Le had the audacity to say: * When the gontle- man from Maine speaks again, lot hiin add that the atrocitics of Aundersonvilla do not bogiu to compare with tho atrocities of El. mira, of Fort Douglas, or of Fort Delawaro; and of all tho atrocitics, both ax Andorson. ville and Elmira, the Confederate Govern. ment stands acquitted frow all responuibility and blamo." No presumption of honest purposs can staud for a moment to the credit of a man who deliberately lies; and that lex Ilen know, in making the stutement we have quoted —knew it to bo absolutely fulss, there is not tho slightest shadow of o doubt, ‘Thore is cxouso, pgrhupu, for some of the wild, passionate passages in that famous epoech of Mr. Hiny's,—exouso in the fact that hio was Irritated and lashed into fury Ly tho uumerciful scorivg Lo received from Brayeaud Ganrieep, DBut there is no ox. cuso for his defenso of the crimes of Ander. sonville, proven to his very face, then and there, by tha evidenco of his lato nssociate ofticens of the Coufederate Government, Tho man who played the role HiLL played in that great debato must be dishouest from the crown of his hicad to the soles of his fuot. But this is not all that the dobate disclosed ju regsrd to tho poculiar character of Bex Hire., In his vejoinder, Draine showed that BMr. Hizn bas two characters,—one for his coustituvats at home and another for the oountry, as eshibited by bhis spoeches in Congress. In Washington ke hugs the Constitution; but in QGeorgia Le speaks of the coutingeucy pf a new rebollion, Tu Wasbington be says: **Wo are hero; we are in the house o( our fathers, our brothers are our companiogs,'and wo aro at howe to stay, thaok Gon!”™ - But in Uuorgia he say: *41f we full with tho bullot-box in 187G, by reason of furco, 8 startling question will pro- sont itself to the American poople. I trust wo Will not fail. 1 hope the Nurthern peoplo Lavo had a sufficient subsidenco of passivn to sco this question fairly. If we must bave war, . . if folly, if wickedness, if inordinate love of power shall decrco that Amcrica tust savo kerConstituticn by blocl lot it come; I am ready.” Then, after thia threat of a now rebellion, to save the Consti- {ntion—alwaya to savo tho Constitution—Mr, Hirz turned to the negraes in his audience, and assured them that, *“as sure as ono war had freed thom, just s suro another war wonld re-enslave them.” ‘These are but a faw of the many illustra. tions we might prodnse of tho quality of Brx Hirt's patriotism and honesty. Now for the secrot of his Inte lotter. It is a Georgin prodnction, sddressed to a fire- enting friend. Tn Washington Mr. Hivn calls upon the President, assures bim of his sup- port in all monsures for tha public interest, nnd exprosacs the strongest confidenca in his honor, integrity, and patriotism. e returns to Georgin and finds Lis constituency of widely differont opinion, s neighbors all havo **claima " against the Govarnment thoy detest and nover cense to revile. They are looking forward to the time when a Demo- cratic Congress sball pass favorably mpon those claims. They belleve that the next Congress will Lo Domooratic in both branches. They expect Mr. Hill to support their “claima” with tongue and vote, and ho promises to do it. They inquire if the President will sign the bLills. Iin says “Nol"” cmphatically. Dat they say: * Does not ‘tho President wish to concilinto us? Iave not you said: *The President is honest, just, and patriotic’? If ho is op- posad to our claimms ho is neither, honest, just, nor patriotic: heis a black Ropublican liar and villain! Down with him; away with him; let him be impeached!” What is Mr. Iy to do? Ile has solomnly nssured his neighbors, over and over ngain, that if the Domocratic party cannot win at tho polls it will take up tho sword and insugurate a now robellion. Thcse neighbors now say to him: ‘Threaton tho President with im- penchment; thrust the Porren.Committee ovidence under his nose, aud dare him to voto our bills for claims on pain of being driven from the Whito House, What doca tho demagoguo do? Ha does the bidding ot his mosters. Like n whipped cur, ho whines about, then reols groveling in thodirt.

It docs not nood much furthor testimony to place him whero ho bolongs—among tho worst of parti- #an Lummors. The Prowident does not need any dofouse, but it may bo eaid, to show the dirly, partisan couduct of Gomass, that tho Proaidont, whon ho delivered this particular speech, was an invited guost of the Minne- sota Htato Falr Association. In Chicago he wns the guest of tho firumen, In Toledo he was the gnest of an Intar-Btate Fair Associa. tion. 1Ilis trip was made for the purpose of observing the agricultural nnd material ro. sourcos of the Northwostern States.

Tell The Inwyers and loarned men gonerally of Norwny, Sweden, and Donmnrk, represent. ing tho thres Beandinavian Btates, havo ro- ceutly beld o Congress at Christiania, in Bwedon, to considor thondvisability of adopt- ing the trinl by jury as part of thelr judicial system. Tho result of the conforencoe was that Danmark decided to adopt tho systom in o modified form, whilo Swedon and Nor- way rejected it altogother. . The London Spectator comments largely on this subject, and, while confossing that tho jury trial has peculiarities which do not recommend it to the peoplaof other nations, points out wherein thoso pecnliarities com. mend the rystem to tho peoples educated in the formalities nud priuciples of English jurisprudonce. The jury systom ecannot commend itgelf whoro tho circumstances of English-spoaking countries do not also exist, ‘When the question is one of tho applica. tion of the law to an ascortained stato of facts, tho human mind not educated to the English system of jurisprudenco [does not understand why twolve men, uninformed as to cither the Iaw or the faots, can ronder jns. tico bottor than the edueatod lawyor who is tho Judge. Why, then, ombarrass and incum- ber tho ndministration of law and justico by tho machinery of juries, when the jurors havo mno intelligent connection with tho business? The English paper ndmita the full forco of this objection, particalarly whero the object of judiclal investigation is widely different from that sought under the Euglish law. Thus, in civil cascs, the rule is growing more gonoral overy day that juries render verdicts just ns the courts indicate it would ho proper for them to do. The courts, after learing tho evidence and mastering tho fncts, nre generally nble to impress the jury s to tho points on which the case of the partios litigant are strong or weak, just or unfust, and tho jury gonerally ndopts tho Court’s opinion, and finds accordingly, Evon when tho jury differs from the Court ond finds a verdict of its own auggestion, the notion of the jury rarely bocomes final, as n now trial or other procoeding carries tho caso back to its original status. ‘The English pa. per naserts that **Every logal yoar sces an ad- vance in tLis dircction, and juries in civil cases seem gradunlly growing into mero wmachines for rogisteriug judicial conclusions,” This probably 18 the experionce in .this country also, - It has beon stated that, n fow yoors ago, Judge Gnirn, of the United Btates Su. prome Court, hoard an ejectmont caso in Philadelphia, and the jury, disregarding the instruotions of the Court, found a verdict for tho plaintil, Tho venorable Judge, ad. dreasing the Clerk, sald, * Let tho verdict Lo recorded, aud then enter an order for n now trinl. I want it undorstood that it token thirteon men in this Court to tako a man's farm oway from him.” Judges of cquity in England, and Judges both of law and ot fact, and It is eald that but fow chancery suitors having right on their side, would consont to chango the Judgo for n jary, or prefor a verdiot to a judgment, All this tonds to confirm the improssion that jury trialsin clvil casoa aro becoming, it they have not become, a uscless if not cum. bersomo appondsge, While the objoctions of othior countrics to the jury trial is con. ceded to have much force in civil cases, o distinotion is clatmed to exist in criwminal casos. In non-English-speaking countries no dis- tinction is made betwoen trials of orime and trinls of questions of property. 'They as- sume thata man ncoused of crime, like a man accused of the wrongful possession of prop- crty, must bo guilty or innocent, and a trainod legal mind can discern the truth bot- ter than it can be discerned by a jury. 'The distinotion claimed fs, that, under the princi- ples of English law, the issue in a criminal case is not always, nor in a majority of cases, tho simplo quoestion whetler the defondant did tho act of which he is socussd. The question under the Eoglish system is to the intention as well as to tho act, and a dozen_ m :n selected from ordinary life, and not like th) Judge, of differont education, associa- tions, prejudices, and sympathies, are, it 13 claimed, more likely to appreciate the fnten. tion than the Judge, In other countries the maln purpose of the judiclal investigation is to ascertain, by whatever means poasible, in- cluding a ngid personal examioation of the accused, the fact whether the prisoner did the act, and there substantially is the end. "The objection to jury trials in criminal cases f3 mado that many persons escape who ought in the opinion of the Judges to be couvisted, and that it there were no juries thoso porsons would bo couvicted by the courts. This is anywered by the Spectator by citing tlo fact that the findivgs of Equity Judges of first instance are commonly re- versed on appesl, and there is no rea- son for supposing that the fodiuge of Cominou-Taw Judges would Lave \ ¥ bottor fortune in criminal cnses, Tost- od by this illnstration, it might turn out that trials by jury would have tho ndsantage ovor trinls by the Court alone. The offect of a Judge withont a jury finding n man gnilty who ia popularly regarded innocent, would be to excite publio indignation; while the dangor of convioting an innocent man by the vordict of a jury is altogether im- probable. Publio opinion cannot be divided from thé law; the law must have the ro- apect and support of public opinion. And it is this fact, peculiar to the sentiment of the English-speaking pooples, that furnishes “the truo dofenso for trinl by jury.” The Speetator thns sums np this defensa: ‘The verdict of o jury {8 not so mucha decislon that the defendant js innocent or gulll{. a8 the in- dependent asseat of Ihe conntey, which the jury, v moro or less fairly repreacats, toa declalon wi 18 really suggeated by the Judge. The twelve jory. men were, af the oriin of the institation. & kot of- Fltnesses'to tho act nlleged acalnat the defondant. ‘Thay hava come to b witnease that the Court has candacted tho trial honestly, and that justice has heen done, They may, n'somo circumntances. and under some Judizes, fulfll more of the dutics theorotically ansiuned to them, but the duty of witneaniny o tho honast conduct of the (il {n owo they nlways discharge, To fultil it compotentls, a jury must. however, reprerent tho public opinton of the country: othierwinc, §t merely reciaters the dudge's dictum, and its verdict carrica corrennond- ing Wweight; or 1t aystomatically oppuses \riintever yiew of, tho law anil the facts is the view of the Etato and the Court, and 1t verdict is, and s moant for, a simpla doflunco of both. 1€ will bo seen that this “ truo dofonse for trinl by jnry " in criminal cases rosts upon the theory that the jury fairly roprescnta lhe country. Unfortunately, and especially in this conntry, the jurics aro but sorry ropre- sontatives of any responsiblo sentiment. In nll the large cities, the jury system has, liko tho local governments, fallen into the hands of those entertaining the lowest mornl sentiments, and, to o gront extent, into the hands, if not of tho criminal classes, of the {rionds and sympathizers of criminals, The same moral degradation which renders bribery, zorruption, nnd general dishonesty &0 pravalent in municpal administration, has nnfortunately taken possession of the jury system. While the one class—those who live by industrial occupations, and of coursa thie best representatives of ¢ tho country "— soek nll moans to avoil jury service, the other class,which does not live by indus. try,—tho idle, improvidont, worthless, cor. rupt, and dishonest,—sock service as- jurors just os thoy do officos without salary, for tho opportunitica it affordg to sell their official sorvico for gain, A jurofvhio will not ngreo to a verdict of gullty can command o liberal price, and the tronble with the jury systom in all tho largo cities is, that a criminal with means ‘can too often fiud n juror, or soveral of themn, who know their valuo, amt who are williug to render the service needed for o valunble consideration. The faoilities for tho friends, accomplicos, relatives, and nssociates of criminals to get on juries are so great that tha theory that the jury * repro. sents the country " iu criminal casos is hard- Iy Lorne out by the ronl facts.
