With s bright and beantifal November doy furmshed for the oceasion, Chicago was in a mood to celebrato Thanksgiving yestorday with exceptiona! heartincss and zest, and tho wolcome anniversary has seldom found o mote uniform cbservance in all its aspects of church-goivg, dinner-cating, amussment. soeking, and general onfoyment. The woather proved a raro exception to the usual oxperience in this latitade, showing that itis not absolutely easential for Thanksgiving and dt.

SILVER AND GOLD. Onoof the slanding and persistently-urged objections to a bi-metallic enrroncy isthat the two coins—gold and silver—cannot circulate togother, and thot any country using both must always have an overstock of the less valuablo)and a scarcity of tho other. Grow. ing out of this objoction is the other: that when the amouut of silver in a dollar is worth less ns bullion than the gold in the gold dollar, thon the country whero silver is in use must do business with foreign conn- tries at o great disndvantage and under difl ‘The theory that the choaper dollar condition? It should bo borne in mind always, and ns a fundsmental fact in the consideration of American c¢oinago and Amorican money, that the silver * dollar® existod long nnterior to the pendenco of tho United States; that while, during tbhe Coloninl existence, every Colony or Stute had its own money and penco wero terms used to donote values of money, indo- but o *“pound” in one Btato represented somotbing very difforont from & * pound” in anothior State, and that while 20 shillings made a pound aud 12 penco a shilling every- whore, the *pound™ being dilfercut, the shillings roprosonted varions values. Dut during all these years and thess complicg- tions of an 1rrogular monetary system, tho *dollar,” both as a mouey valus and as a monoy of account, was a fixed and general standard of valuo, That dolinr for 100 years bofore American independence was a stand- ard money in America and olsswhera ; it was a coin of 371} graius of pure silver. Tha dollar ™ was 371} grains of puro silver, and bad no referonco lo any othor woight of any other motal, Tho Congross of the United Btates ndopted tha then existing * dollar” ns tho unit of Ameriean money; debts wora computed In * dollars,” and a dollar meant 371} grains of pure sliver. Gold colu- nge was a sccondary matter. Tho weight of gold cofus was regulated by the relative value of the gold to the dollar of 8714 grainy of pure silver, The welght of the gold colns wero readjusted nt times in ordor to mako its fluctuating value correspond with the stand. ard dollar of 371} grains of pure silver, In fact, the ** dollar " of the United States bas alwnys heen 3714 grains of pure silver, and this without re‘crence to the weight of gotd which that ‘weight of silver would buy. Congress, {n 1793, did what France did about the same time, authorizod the coinage of both motals,~both Governments making the silver the unit of values and the mouey of account; making both colns s legal-ton. dor, and leaving to the people tho option to make poyment in eithor coin. For forty yonrs preceding the secret demonetization of the silver dollar, in 1873, tho value of the gold iu tho gold dollar and in the gold frano wne so much lewa than that of tho silver in the silver dollar and franc, that tho gold or clieaper dollnrs and francs were colned large- 1y, nud in this country almost exclusively, From oll this it will be seen that the Amerioan ‘“dollar” means now, as it has al. ways meant, what the torm *“dollar” meant long beforo American jndependence,~3714 grafus of puro ailver;- it was nover ntended or expected to bear any unchangeablo value in gold, The *dollar” was previously un- known to gold coius, and the *dollar” of 871} grolng of silver was ndopted as an ex. isting standard, just av the *'yard,” tho #pound,” the * gallon,” aud the * bushel™ preylously existiug were adopted. Any change, therefors, in tho weight of tho pure silver in the dollar is to revolution. fzo the wholo charaoter of the dollar, and would be as destructive in iis effects as it would be toadd an jnch to the yard moas. ure or a pint to tho gallon, Tho Fronch silver franc is coined weigh. ing fittoon timos as much as the gold franc, whilo tho Amorican silvor dollar weighs six- tevn timos as much as the gold dollar; our silver, therofore, la worth more in gold than the French silver to the extent of the dif- feronce in the relativo quantities of pure motal in the coinage, Novertheloss, France has maintaiued her silver coinage on a par Financial Miniater directed that all the coins in all the public offices, bauks, and iustitu. tions in France, should be counted und clags. iflod.

Notwithstanding the goneral nse of silvor, the gold continuos to pour into France, while in Germany and England, where silver is demonotized, there is such a0 extraordinary scarcity of gold, and such a consequont depreoiation of all kinds of property, that prodnction has been sus- pendod and 1abor discharged to an extont beyond precedent. In Germany the high voluo of gold, now the exclusive standard, s in the samoe way so deprociated property of all kinds that general distrees provails. On the point whether n country doing business with both gold and silver can carry on trade with other countries, the same facts have a direct bearing, France Los no diffl- culty in making all necdful exchanges with all othor countrics, including Germinuy, and England, and the United States. 8ho buys, and sells, and exchanges commodities with. out ony troubls, though, according to the New York Clearing.House, her silver cur- rency is worth 20 per ceut less than the gold with which it cirenlates at par. When Francs can keep $600,000,000 of silver (worth lesa than onr own) at par with gold, tho absurdity of tho scare of tho New York banks lost $14,000,000 now in the Trensury shnll got odso and into ciroulation becomes evident. When wa export to England we sell ot gold values, and buy there at gold values; the valuo of gold is regulated by law o Eugland, so many ounces rcpresenting so many pounds sterling. When we soud gold coin to England, it is roceived there not by count, but by weight, our stamp giving it no money valug. If, taking onr monmoy in gold, we gat loss for our exports, we are abis to purchago moro goods for import. 1f tho free coinage of silver be established, and Europo shall send hither all hor surplua sil- vor, what harm can follow? Silver is cheap in Earopo, bocatss thore is more than thero in uso for; if the surplus bo sent hore, thon the valuo of silver will advance in Europe, and, to meot the currant domand, then sil- var will go backat its advanced value. While ‘ero it must be utilized; it must bo invasted in American produots, in land, machinery, nnd in production; ond bow this inflation of maetallic monoy can work any possiblo In. jnry to this country i3 ono of thoso myste- rios which no ons ever cxplains. Why docs it not injuro France? Whilo Eugland and Germany aro driven to sore distress for coin, and whore its excossive value is dopreclating sll forms of property, Frauco has that abundance which the removal of all restric- tions on coinage will give to this conntry, and that restoration or recovery of value of all other property which is impossible so long ns gold alone is a legal standard, e THE PRESIDENT'S POLICY VINDICATED, ‘Thera 14 a class of rod-hot partisan nows- papersand small political fanatics whoso whole stock in trade has been to keop alive scctional hatreds and to fire tho popular heart agninst tho South that nre now distrossed becauso Tre Caicaco TrinuNe has geon fit to em- phatically condomn the recent olection frands in the South, and to call for tha sovero pun- ishment of thowo who havo been engaged in these iufamoua-outrages. ‘The griof of theso malicious pariisnns i3 so ostentations and thoir animadversion is so noisy as to mako it appoar that they would kavo beon ULotter pleased if Tuz Trinose bad condoned theso flagrant crimea, The sccret causo -of theie distress i8 to bo found in the establishment of Southern perfidy boyond any cavil by the nptural operation of tho Prosidont’s polioy. And it is equally true that had the Presidont's policy oporated as ho oxpeetod it would, and as all good citizens desirod, and secured cvory person 1n tho Sonth in the enjoymant of his full civil and political liberty, these bloody- shirt wavers and sectional ‘partisans would hiave beon more bittorly distressed than they aro now, os it would have left them political. ly baokrupt. To show the malico of th eso parties, it is necessary to go back alittle. 'The Ropub. tican platform depreented all sectionn! feol. ing and pleaded for reconciliation. I asc- cepting his nomination, the I’rosident asted upon the sentimont of the platform, and sald in clusing: **Let wo assure 10y conu- trymen of tho Southorn States tuat, it I shall be charged with the duty of orgenizing sn Administration, it will bo one which will regard and cherish thoir trucst intevests,— the interesta of tho white and of (he colored people both, and equally; and which will put forth ita bost efforts in Lehalt of o civil polioy whick will wipo out forever the dis- tinction botwoen North and Bouth in onr common country,” Tho Republican party indorsed this declaration by electing Mr. Hayes to tho Presidency. He took the South at its word. Northern Domocrats ag well as Southorn promised that all citizens should bo protocted slike in every Stato, that thore should be ‘mo moro bulldoz- ing, mo more intimidation or terroriz ing of negrocs, no woro dlsfranchis- ing of XRepublican voters. Accepting these promisos as made in carneat, the troops ware withdrawn aud tho whole machinery of local government was placed in the hands of the Southorn leaders, with no discrimination in the operation of that machinory. ., Every Bouthern State was placed upon an cquality with ovory Northern ona in tho adwministra- tion of jls interunl affairs, while their rola- tions to the Genoral Ggvernmont remnined s definod in the Constitution, Tho bloody-shirt wavers were opposed to this sction, They vociferously demaunded that the President should voject their offurs and plodgea, and carry oul s policy of sectional distrust and Yatred, aud retaln the troops in the Southern citics, But supposo the President, in defiance of tho platform upon which hv was olvcted, Ju deflance of his own declarations and promiscs in his lotter of ac. coptance, indeflanceof theoverwhelming pre. pondorance of public soutiment of the North whieh sustained Lim, ond with a Domocratic Housa which would never have appropristed a dollor for the mainte. nauce of the army, had followed the counsels of theso hot-lieaded fools, where would tho Republican party bave been? ‘Tho wmilitary policy of tho previous Adminwstration had already shattercd its rauks, It ouly needed the continuauce of that policy to end it Huppose that the President had condemnod the Bouth unhesrd, and bad rejvcted its promises point-blank without giving those leadurs au opportunity to ke thom good, ‘where would have been that safe, sure, and consistent ground for action upon which he wow stonds? ‘I'he moderate men of the North wero will. ing to give them a chanco, aud see if Wans Haurron, Nicuovrs, Lasan, Iiey, Moucay, Gonpox, Ransoxa, nd the otlher leaders wero in carnest ; but there was not oue of the fair. minded newspapen, including Tux Curcaco ‘I'mipuxg, that did not demand the severest penalty for tho Confencrates if they violated their pledges. The policy went into operas tion. During the first year of tha Admlais tration it apparostly gave indications of success, and the people of tho North bad livoly hopes that tho promises of the South- ern lenders wonld bo kept. "The condition of the negro was at least an im. provement wnpon what it had been during Graxt's military regimne. began to decline, Wape Hanrrox and othors mado conciliatory specches, labor contraocts were respecied, and there was ovory pros- pect that elections would bo freo. When the firat gonernl election came, however, evory pledge was doliberately violated, The anxie- ty of tho ‘*Bouth” to gain control of Con- gress made it nccessary to consolidate itsolf a8 & solid Sonth, and to accomplish this it was necessary o disfranchise the Re- publican pasty in that section. This wns done not so much as formerly, by terroriziug, bulldozing, and shooting, s by ballot-box stuffing upon a senle that wonld bave made Tammany Llush in its palmicst days. Thera was novor a ballot-box stuffor in the whole Tammany Ringthat would have dnred to deposit 2,500 votes in one package isto tho box as was dono by one of these Democratio leaders in Sonth Caroling. The responsibility for this failure is now fastoned whero it belongs, The blamo attach- o8 to the Confederntes, not to tha Prestdont. He faithtully performed his part.

Ho bas now consistent and legal grounds for nction. o is in s position to enforce tha laws withont comment or eriti. cism from any quarter in the North or any real ground of complaint from the Bonth. The South has consolidated, it {s true, but against it ho hnos consolidated the North, and the Ropublican party hns beon the gainer. | Ho took the leadership whon the Republican party had scarcely strongth anongh to carry its Corgressmen in a single State. At the 1nst eloction it swept tho North like o whirl- wind, The military polioy’ lind created a large element of eympathy for the Bouth in the North, and Southern influences wero rapidly gnining ground, ‘Ihe tide has turned, and Bouthern sympntby and {nfluence are losing ground moro rapidly than they galned it. For this the thauks of the party aro dua to Mr, Ilsyes, For this he i en- titled to credit instead of nbuse. It was a pationt, resoluto, judiclous stroke of atatos- manship, far removed from all partisan con- sideration, to which none of theso bloody- shirt lendors could evor hinvo Iaid pretousions. It has knockod the underpinning from under these malicious and hot-headed political fanatics. It was thair policy to keep wec- tional hatred nlive, to keep the country in continual commotion, to foment strife and disordor, in order to keep themnolves on the top of the political wave. Thoy would have continued tho rule of the bayonot and the policy of forco until they had utterly de- stroyed the Ropublicon party. Tho Prosi- dent, by his moderato course and fair, honora- Llepolicy, hasdisclosed the perfidy of tho Con. federatas and fastened tho responsibility upon it. e has placed himself whero ho can exe~ cute tho laws, freed from any suspicion of partisanship or malice. Ifo bas not ounly saved tho Repablican parly, but ho has guorantood Its snpromacy for a long time to como. QBAVE ROSBERIES. ‘Tho recent desecration of tha grave in Bt. Mark's Churchyard and the theft of tho body of the late A. T. Browanr bave bronght this infamous business of body-snatohing before tlie publio in various repulsivo forms, Tho robbory of tho BTrwaRT grave, howoever, in- famous nx it was, is not tho worst form of this horriblo business. That robbery was an isolated caso, having no councction with others, plannod by particular individuals for a particnlar purpose, namely, the oxtortlon of a ransom frow the frionds of the decensed. They were willing to take the risks of com. paratively light punishmont for the largo re- ward which they supposed would be offered by tho wealthy estato for the roturn of the romajus, It is not likely that the robbers wore profossionals, or that thoy carried on this ghoulish businoss s a means of lvell- hood, for in that case any othor body would have snawored their purposes, aud would have exposed them to hittle or no risk, The Toceut confession of ono of a gang of grave- robbers at Zoanesvillo, Ohlo, howaver, pre- wonts a phase of tho business which will strike tho publie with horror, This man. Evaxs, alter belng accidontally discovered and lodged in jail, made a full and free confession, which goos to show that grave-robbery is a rogularly.organized busi- neas in the West, with its own methods of transportation, ita scales of priccs, and jts rogular sources of supply aud demand; and it in the West, why not all over the coun. tiy? The details of his confession show that Lo has boen engaged several yoars in tho business of body-snatching. The aver- ago prico received by him for a body was §2, bué in this case ho was to havo Lad 820 (ke hiad four bodies in his wagon when arrosted). A fow wecks ago ho eutered into a regular arrangemout with o modical college at Columbus, 0,I to supply it with bodies at o stated prico. * ITe was not alone in his opora. tions. Of hia two confederntes, one was a young mau uamed IlitLiany, whose business it was to be on the watch for funernly and securo tho naae, age, and sex of the person who bad died, the time of the funeral, and tho exact spot where e was burled. The other coufederato was au assistant to Evans, who helped uuearth the bodies. In the caso in question, Evans and Lis confederate dug up the bodios of two men, # womap, and n young girl, and were on. goged in transporting thom to a medical collego when arrcsted, If this wore an iso. Iated case the public would broathe more frooly, but Evans' confossion shows (hat it was only one of o seriea of operatious that have been going on for yosrs, Thoro is no regular buwiness without & regular market, and thore is no doubt of the location of the market, 'Tho medical colleges are the pur- clinsers, and they condone tho offense for the sake of obtainiug subjects for disscction ; in othior words, they are the receivers of stolen goods, and (ho recolvers are ay bad as the thievos,—~worse oven, in that they share in the plunder witlout takiug avy risk.

It is hardly necossary to sny that Mr. Caurprrs's namo was not printed on thess tissue-paper tickets. Of the 2,600 of them stuffed fnto one box in Oharleston County, not one contnined the name of Mr. Oawrnern. Mr, CaurpEny was not elected.

Thero wore two eircumstanoces whioh warrantod anexpoctation of iucrease, viz.: (1) The growth of various brauches of the public service, and the neces. sary fncrense of cxponso incident to such growth; and (2) the probability that what- ovor estimntes might bo made wonld attraot thu opposition of o Democratio Congross, if with no higher purpose than the embarrass- ment of tho Admiuistration. It is probablothat tho extonded dimensions of the pablic service have beon offset by lopping off tho useless ap- pendages of the saveral departmonts under the strict discipline of mon like Bemunz, McCrany, and Troursoy, and by observing tho economical foatures of civil-service ro. form. Bo far as tho antagonism of the Domooratio mnjority in Congress is con- corned, the confluomont of the ostimates to limits prescribed by Uongreas ought to disarm the Domocrats in auy portisan strgglo, Thero is ono item which will bo likely to call out florco opposition nud violent donan. ciatlon from tho *Solid South" sud fs Northern allics, Wo rofer to tho increase of 250,000 to be asked for by Attornoy-Gan- eral DEveNs to cnrry out the law enforcing tho right of all citizens to voto withont re. spect to race, color, or pravious condition of sorvitudo. DBat the Democrats will do well not to make the fight on this itom too fierca, or thoy mny got tho worst of it. It will not be diffleult for the Republicans to estab. lish tho faot that thia law is being openly and fingrantly violated inseveral Bouthorn 8tatos, though it was passad to onforco a special pro- visionof the Constitution, They willalsoshow that the United Btates troops have not boon nsed to aid tho Oourts fn carrying out the law, and that no appropriation iy asked for that purpose. Thoy will contend succossfuily that thero has boon no intarference by the Qoneral Govornmant in tho looal affairs of the South, but that tho Southern States and local authorities have had undisputed control and have failed to onforoe the law, If tho Democrata opposs the appropriating of money for carrying out this law by process In tho courts and under the nuspices of the law officors of tho Govaroment, thoy will ar- ray thomsclves on tho sido of nullification, and might as well boldly inangurato an effort to repenl tha constitutional amendmant which the statute is designed to enforce. Ara tho Demoorats propared to tako thia position? Tho progress of the session will roveal whather thoy are or not, and thoir ac- tion in (his matter will probably exert an important influonca on tho next Prosidontial election. RUSSIA AND AFGHARISTAN, The exact intontions of Russin, so far as tho mulitary campaign ngalnst Afghaniaton is concerned, aro likely to be revenled now that the Boglish Governmont has instructed its Ministor at 8t. Potersburg Lo call upon the Czar for nn explicit statoment of what was moant by Gon, Kavrraax's address to the Ameer upon the ocension of presenting him with a sword, Tho addross was ns follows : My \luetrlous sovercign, In whoso Empire the.san nover sots, and whose raised finger cansos millions of soldiers to take up nrms, ecnds thia ledge of Iriendsitp and unchanzlng aftection to his friond nnd ally, thanoble and chivalroua rulor of tho Afizhans and Dieloocheus, History teaches 1hat Russin over eapouses a juet canse, that she Jus alwavs known bim to protect hor ullies from thuattacks of any enoiy however poweeful, Who« over vides with tusain tieod not fear that o hair of his head will be injured, Tha power of tho Husslan sword la great. ‘Tl 18 a 1act known to the enes micn of ftussia, as well a8 to bor ailles, Muy Gov protect and preserve the two vowerful suvereigns —tho Czar and Ameer, dny Gon presceve the weifare of the two allicd couniries to tho beneflt of Afghans, Itussiana, and humomty at largo, May tue echu of tucse words awnken consolation and Liope whero oppresdion und tyranny are parawount, "Theso are very plsin, bold words, but it is to be taken into account that thoy were spoken beforo the Treaty of Berlin was signed, and at o timo beforo peaco had Leon concladed betwoon Russia and 'Turkey. The war, and nuy nssarances that Gen, Kavee. aaN may have given tho Amoer at such n thne havo s difforent significanco from what thoy wounld havo had if spckon afier the troaty was signed, and when the attack upon Afglnnistan had no benrings upon tha rela- tions of Turkey and Russin, It is not difil. cult to anticipate the answer which Russin will malo, Indoed,.tho anawer has boen al roady made in her deolaration that she bas no intention of interfering in the pending Avnglo-Afghan campaign, but that she ‘ro- darves the right when tha Amaer s dofeat- ed, as he will bo, to liave a voice in making tho treaty of peaco, Iuthis demand slo fs following tha precodent sot by England ot the closo of the war, nnd it will bo singu- lar {t Russlan loterforence In the Anglo. Afghan Congross docs not prove a source of grave embarrassmont, if not of great dangor, to Eagland. ‘Cue Russian and English lnter- osts aro too close in that quarter not to bo rocooguized in any soltlencat that may be made with Afghanistan. e e e Mr. Warrenson, in apologizing for the Bouthern outrages during the late election, saye that tho pooplo of the North *“‘con- fiscated all tho property of tho Bouth which they did not mortgage,” and that the Repub. lcan party *imisgoverned it [tho South] for ten yoars and took out n post-odit on fts crodit,” Mr, Watrensoy is not discreoct jn recnlling theso things, Thoro aro just throo pointa in this charge, viz: (1) The only “ confiscation " of * property ” at the South waos tho emanclpation of the negroes. That sort of *‘proporty” is atill there to till the flelds and pick the cotton, with the Jiffor- suce that its manhood 18 recoguized by law i€ not by the whita inhabitants; we can scarcely beliove that Mr, WatTereow, with his ,ohivalrous and liboral ideas, dusires to restors tho **proporly” which was” ouly socuved by tho ouslavemont of a race of human boings. (2) If the ecarpet. baggora put mortgages ou the proporty of the Bouth, these mortgages have not troubled the Bouthern peoplo very much; for, after cnjoying the vailronds and public im- provements securad by theso mortgagey, tho Bouthern Btates proceeded to repudiate, in whole or in part, tho evidonoos of the debts, and tho indications are that thoy will not ovon bay for the bonofits thoy actually ree coived. (3) If tho carpet-hng Goveruments, or soms of then_:,‘wuro cxtravagant or cors yupt, they do not scem to havs been any more 80, according to the testimony of tho Southern puople, than somo of the ** native” CGovernments which succeoded thom,— Georga, for instance, Ar. Warrznsow sbould advise thu Bouthern people to cultl. vate moro virtue themsclves, rather than give thelr whole atteution to the corruption of others, ONE HONEST MAN, Thero spponars to be one honest Demoerat in Bouth Carolina,—may ho live long and prosper,—and ho resides in the Clty of Charleston, Previous to tho late election he announced himsel? na an indopondont Dem- ocratio candidate for the State 8onate. Wo aro pot so certaln of his savity as of hia honesty, for ho assumed, good soul, that Gov, Hawrron's declared polioy of 1870~ comyplete protection {0 the negro in tho ox- ercise of all his clvil and political rights— was to bo sustained at the polls by all the oxecutive powors of the State. Xe propared and issued to the pullic a beautiful letter denouncing os n flat violation of tho pledges and policy of Gov, ITaxeroxn sud the Dumo- cratfe party thoe logislative ouactment ro. ducipg tho number of voting.places in Ulnrluston County, In thia beautiful lettor good Mr, Caxrorey explaiued that under the operation of thu objectionable statute many votors wero compolled to travol twenty.five and even forty miles to reack a polting.place, which, he duclared, rendered it * hnpos- sible for colored voters to reach the voting- places or to got thelr votes all in even- it they did.," 'This homest man re- forred proudly to tho fact that as o member of tho State Ausemnbly he protosted sgalnst tho passage of an act plainly intended to disfranchiso certain classcs of voters, and appouled to tho people of Cherleston County 1o return him to the Benato as & mark of their disapproval of thia gross violation of laseron's and the Btate's solemn engago- meut o the colored people and the conntry,” Wo regard this appeal as one of the most charming instances of child.lke trust and confidence known to the history of Soutliorn, polioy. It recalls to mind the Bouthern age of chivalry when there was honor st the Houtl, oven in tho advocacy of erroucous theuries, whon tho people of the Soutl had the discretion to worahip really great men like Cray and OaLuous, when they reforred proudly to Virginia as the Mother of Presi. donta of tho United Btates, nol as now, to Jery Davis as tho President of the late lamented Confedersoy, There is something almost sublime {n the spectacle presented by Mr. Canppers standing alons and defiantly arvaignivg the pooplo of his Btate as guilty of periliy and treachery, and then uwm. bly appealing to his old constituency to sove . themsolves from the staln of dishovor by returning bim to the Assembly, whore e had so lately battlod unsuocessfully for tho right. It was an appeal to the houor of the people of the chief city of Bouth | Carolina, whero thire may be presumed to ba the most Intalligence and culture and the lenst ignorance. But it fell upon deaf ears, Whilo Mr. Campozru wos eogaged iu the yreparation of bis address, in the course of which he adumitted thot the:e wusaoun. Becretary SaxnuaN madea speech in Tolu- do during the last political campaign,—Augz, 26, 1878,—from which we take the followiug quotation: In undertaking toaddress yoa, T will frankly snd frecly express wy owa oplnion, but wili, witle § renwin in an executive ofiice, cheerfully and freely obey und exccuto Lhe Judyaiont of my fellow-citl+ xeus as cxprosaed by Cougrees, Or give way to some one who will, Ho seemns to have forgotten this pullie pledgo, and for several woeks past has been scheming with the New York Cloaring-House Laokers to nullify the law providing for re. sumption in slleer and gold, Ho announces thiat ho will redeom greenbacks oaly in gold ualcss tho holder speolally dewands silver, aud ho {3 60 arronging mattess that nopan can get silver out of the Treasury unless he tendors gold or greonbacks for it. - He refuses to pay out silvor tothe bondnolders, elthor toredvem oalled bonds or to pay intercst on the debt; be declines to tender standard sflver dollans to ofticgholders for their ualarics, ond vefuses to use the Government’s option as & debtor,—to redeem greenbacks with staudard silver dollars,—and lio is only coiuing the minimum amount per month the law com- mauads.
