Tho volome of gold and silver in tho country fs expand. ing the cnrroney beyond all precodent, Tha world is bringing bhere its gold to buy food, to buy petroleum, to buy our mannfactures, and it is proposed 1o break off all trade,and, instead of prodnc. ing, buying, and selling, to devote onr lima to printing hand-bills and declaring them to be money. Tho plow, the loom, and tho anvil aro to bo discarded as usoless, nud in their placo wo are to erect paper-mills and printing.-presses, with which to manufacturo monoy. The old practics of producing some- thing and exchanging it for money is to ba discarded ; we are to begin with making tho money direot, nnd leaving to othors tho slow process of labor, the production of vom- modities, their transportation and sale, THE FIRST-DISTRICT MUDDLE, The Sevatorial muddle in the First Dis- trict remains unsettled, and Col. Tavrom and QGronoz E. Warre continue on the track, Tho Executive Committes havo per- mitted the Tenth-Ward bummer to bam- boozle and overreach them in a way that lolds the Committes up to public derision and contempt. . Saturdey last the little trickster mannged in some wny to extort from tho Committeo & resolution that he was the regular uominee, in consideration of nn underatanding that on Monday he would withdraw from the ticket, and leave the Committeo frae to Bolect some candidate that coulil be electad. ‘When AMonday came, Gzonge was on hand with his tender of declination as per agree- ment, but coupled it with the condition that the Committeo should substitnte ex-Ald.

Crang, he said, was his friend, to whom he was under obligations, ote, For the sake of getting rid of Wirre on almost any terms, the Commit- too accopted Lis resignation with the fncum- brance annexed, provided Col. Tavr.on wonld not objeot to the arrangement. ‘The Colonel woa sent for, and told what had been dono, Ho ngroed to indorss it, saying that ho was willing to make any reasonable ascrifica for the sako of Larmony and the success of the ticket, He hardly thought Mr, OLarx the strongess man in the district for Senator, but, nevertheless, he would withdvaw his own name and support him. So far, so good, and the Committes rejoiced that tho thing was scttled nt last, ‘Fho new candidate shortly aftorwards put in an appoaranco before the Committeo, and, with some oxcitement of monner snd a flushed faco, he informed thio. Committee that he conld not sccept the nomination. , He gave s varioty of incousequential reasons, but poremptorily doclined the proffered houor, pretending that he preferred the nom- ination for the Lower House, Tho fat was all in the firo, Orairk de- clined ; Winre would docline in favor of no oue clso ; nothing could bo done with him, and he was allowed to remain on tha tioket, with all the damning information about him in the posuossion of the Committce, Now for the sequel : Bhortly after Cranx's rofusal of the Senatorisl nowmination, that gentloman met Col. Tavros, and, whon nsked wliat it meant, gud why be declived, he made & clean broast of it, and confessed to Col Tavron that Warrs, aftor ho had withdrawn (or beforo it, we forget which), went to Crang and told him it would be dis- lLionorable and ungrateful on Lis (Cranx's) part to sccept the Sonatorial nomination ; and tbat he muat decliue it. so that he (Wnrre) could still hold ou, and uot be got rid of by tho Exccntive Committee, Poor Crank was bulldozed into doing what Gronar Wmze demanded.

The followiug oxtract from one of tho so- called Greonback tracts foirly represonts the wain purpose of the *‘Nationals ™ and that Inrgo class of Domocrats who havo been aid- ing and encouraging them : Vor the creation of an abeolule Greanback money that shall be PERPETUAL MONEY OF TuE UNiTED $ra7es and always fall logal-tondur for the pay- ment of dolts, ONE DOLLAIL OF MONEY ALWAYS TO FAY ONK DOLLAL 0F bERT, Thon the demand wil) Lo the payment of every Unilted Kiatos bond And cisim agalost the General Government o this sabso- :'.m mougy, thuw forever wiping out the national 'This demand jnvelves (1) the ropudiation of privato debts, aud (2) the ropudiation of the public debt. Tho men who advocate this double scheme of repudiation ssom to assumo that the Government has the power ta carry it qut; but this assumption is cntirely un- warranted by either luw, or morality, or ex- perience, s As to the first propoaition, we have argned oftan enough that the Govérmmoent cannot cronta money. ‘Tho uestion is whether it can compel wen to accept 88 money 1n full dischinrge of debts certain pleces of paper which are never to bo rodeomed in anythiug of roal valug, and which make no prowise or pretense of such redemption, Al the pri- vata dobts of this country were coutracted upon a basis of gold and silvor, aud Govern- ment promises to pay gold and silver, I'he Goverument notes avd National Bank notes redeemablo in Government notes have now valug, and Lad a valuu at the tinio existing debts were contracted, by roason of a double pledge on the part of the Uoverument, —first, that the Govornment would pay or rodeewn its’ notes; and, secondly, that its notew should never exceed lu yolumo a limit of $100,000,000. To offer jn dis- charge of dubts coutracted on such a basls scraps of paper which are not prowises to pay, and which will Lo worthless by veason of their irredeemability and inconvertibility into anything elso, involves o wholesale Lroach of contract. It is truo that thero is nothivg in the wrilten Coustitution of this country which prohibits Congress fromn pass- iug laws abrogating coptracts (though the Htates are expreasly forbiddon to do so), but such prohibition is & cardinal principle of the unwritten law of civilization aud morali- ty, and it could not be stronger it it were expressed tonfold in the written Constitu- tion. Besides, tho Democrats, who compose the great majority of those in favor of flat money, have alwsys contended and bave even fought for tlo theory that the powers of Oongress aro limitud to those expressly granted to Congress by the written Consti- tutlon. If that doalrine is correct, then Congress can ouly intesfers between cred- itor and debtor to the exteut of passing “uniform laws on the subject of bauk- ruptcies throughout the United States ¥; but & baukruptcy law Lmpliea the surrender of the property of the bavkrypt Lefore Le can socure a discharge from his lgbility, while the passage of a law authorizing every deblor o caucel bis indubteduess by the proflsr of worthloss scraps of poper, and without surrenderivg any postion of bis property, i beyond the scope of Congress 43 defined Ly tho Constitution. Thero iy no fudiclal tribunal,® nor » single intelligont Iawyer on carth, that will concede tho larful anthority of Congresa to pnan laws anthoriz. iog » universal repndiation of private debts in nny manner or form, The second part of the proposition is to ‘“wipe ont the nationsl debt" by *‘the payment of every United States bond and claim against the General Government in this abeolute money.” This involves the right of Congross to pnss a law repudiating all Government obligations, By so-called payment in serip, which is never to ba re- desmed, the Govornment would wipe out of exiatence not only the bonds but the present greenbacks, for tho latier, though bearing no interest, are promises to pay and a part of the publio debt. The greenbacks avonow worth within one-sighth of 1 per cont as much as gold; the bonds are worth par in gold or moro than par, An enforced substi- totion of gat paper for the entira lino of publio indeBledness wonld bo rank and total ropudiation. Tho promise to pay which avery groenback contains was A promise o pay in coin, becausa there was no other money than coin known to commerce or recognized by law at tho time the greenback was issued. Wo hnve shown repeatedly that evory Govornment bond was made paynble in colu,—even tho 5-20 bonds, sinco the act authorizing their issuc expressly providea the means for raising n coin revenuo with which to cstablish a sink- ing-fund for the gradual extingnishmont of the debt thus created. Moroover, neatly every bond now outstanding reprosenta an investmont of par in gold at the hands of the present bolder. All thq & por cent, 4} per cont, and 4 per cont bonds were paid for in coin nt par by those who bought them from the Govornment, Of tho bonds origlnally sold by the Governmont at lexs than par, two-thirds have actually bten redeemed and cancoled by means of the sinking-fund and tho substitution of new gold bonds at a low- errataof intorest. Bestdles, thoso War bonds havo nll been at and above par for ten years, and we venture that not 1 per cent of thosa outstanding were purchased by the presont ownera at less than par, Thero is no mis- taking the proposition to pay the national bonds and greonbacks in frredoemable flat serip for anything but total repudiation, and there is no theory of law or morals that sanc- trons such a proceeding. There remaius, then, the single cloment of furce, on which the flaé party must rely for carrying out tho programmo of public and private ropudiation fnvolved {a their cuarrency schome. Oan this party command tho force that will bo necossary to this énd? ‘Whero will thay get their constabulary, and whero reeruit their armics? Thoy appear to ignore the vast coliorts of pooplo whosa iutarosts will induco thom to array thomselves ngoinst this scheme of repudintion, Lot us onumerate soma of tho clasies. Tho entire “capital ” clasa will resist, and thia includes the great majority of omployera, with =all the influenca they exert over the mon whom they supply with the work on which tho latter oxist.

THE CHICAGO TIMES' MOLLY MAGUIRES The Ohicaga Z'%¥mes follows up its infamous attacks upon the Irish with anothor which fs still more outrageous, and which has already croatod Intensa Indignation’ among the poo- plo of that nationality. 1In its issue of Bun. day it davoted noarly a pago ta the protended cxposition of a forcign sacret socloty of the Aolly Alpguire sort, the mombomsbip of which is alleged to bo made up mainly of Irish Democrats, and in its Monday's issue it roverts to the smbject again by calling atten- tion to it 10 a leading editerlal, aud sgaln de- nouncing the Irlsh. Tho substance of this Chicago Times invention is that tho socioty is an organization of Irishmen, bound to. gother by solemn onths and provided with signs, grips, and phsswords, whose object is to kill, dostroy, and lay waste, like the Mollie Moguire Order in Pennsylvania. *'This Lond of freo lances,” says tho Zimes, * pro. poscs to control by fraudulent votes, stuffed ballot-boxes, caucus rows, boatings, and, if ju the end it grows strong emough for that, by bramn . intimidstion.

How do thoy relish being called **vagrants, (hieves, thugs, shoulder-hitters, aud rufllaps ® by Kenx's organ ? It does not mitigate the infamy of this cliarge that the pretended secret wociely is o pure invention - of the Chlcago Zimes. Kuowing the falsity of the story, the Irish «will all tho more quickly yesont the opithets and degrading aspersions cast upon them, and they will make that resontment folt upon the 5th of November in » mauner that Keay and his orgen will bave nodifficulty in understanding, There I8 undoubtedly in Chicago a 5if-ral of pervons hanging upon the skirts of parties secking to control votea corruptly aud to blackuiail candidgtes, That riff-raff {sto be found in every large city, sud is beginning to appearin viall towos, It is an uudesira- Llo ¢lement of American politics, and will continue {o be so until some wothod ia foqud of eliminating 1t. 'Lbus far thero can be no dunial; but thot the mafority of the Irish Damocrats of Chicago, the mojority of Irish voters who are supporting Mr, Kruoz, are leaguod together iu any such ray head and bloody boues socloty ms the Chigsgo Tiacs charges, is the most infamsous libel that that paper has evor jssuud against the Irish—and it Las lwsucd o great wany, ‘Thbe whole story iy unmitigated und silly bosh, juvented by $be reporters of tho Times oud priuted by the responsible editor of thad papar, partly Lecouss of by wellEaoun hatred of the Irish peopls aud partly hecanse Lie hopes there ars somo silly or timid people who might be Indnced to voto againat Mr. Horrman, who, ha nllegos, iain sympathy with it.

Its membersip is the editors and reporters of that paper. They are banded togother and lnstrticted to hate the Irlah and lose no opportanity of abusing them, That is nll there is to the Mollie Maguire Soclety in Chicago, , ! ‘We very much mistake the temper of tho Irish Democrats of Chicngo if they do mot give the Chicago Times nooiaty a shaking up, and teach Slherif Kzny a lesson on slection day that ho will lodg remomber, If ho ever runs for office ngainm, he will seleot momo paper for his organ that will not insnlt and vilify tho majority of his own party becauso they happen to ba Irish. THE OUTRAGE UPON OUR FISHERMEN. Tho nassult upon American fishermen by the people of Nowfonndland onght to bLring this whole fishory business to a hend, so that thera may be a clear understanding as to onr rights In Canadian waters, and an equally olenr undorstanding whether treaty rights can be violated with impunity, The assault was as aggravaled as its justification by the English Government ia hasty and inde- corous. Under cover of a loonl ordinanco forbidding the catching of mackerel on Sun- day, tho American fishermen were driven from their stations, theiy proporty waa de. stroyed, and tyeir business Lrokon up.
