TAPPING TI1E WIRES.
The Standards Berlin correspondent be
lieves that Germany, with the connivance of
England, will advise Turkey to conclude
peace as soon as possible, and it is stated
that Russia has addressed a letter to the
cabinets of England, Austria and Germany,
Baying that she would agree to conclude a
peace on the basis of the protocol, accepting
accessions of territory in Asia Minor instead
of indemnity.
A cable dispatch from Paris gives what
purports to be tbe substance of tbe letter ad
dressed by Gortschakoff in reply to Lord Der
by’s letter, from which it appears that Russia
has made satisfactory answer to all the points
contained in Lord Derby's communication
namely : the intentions of Russia regarding
the Suez canal, Egypt, Constantinople, the
Dardanelles, and the Persian Gulf.
The fire record yesterday shows most
disastrous results. At Bridgeport, Conn,
property to the value of $23,000 was
destroyed and eleven men were killed, and
at Galveston, Texas, a large portion of the
business part of the oity was consumed, in
volving the destruction of three millions of
dollars worth of property.
A fire in New Orleans has partially burned
the block bounded by Carondelot,St. Charles,
Phillips and First streets.
Le Xord, which has intimate connection
with the Russian Foreign Office, publishes
an appeal about peace rumors, extracts of
which show that Russia will not lay down
her arms until Turkey is perfectly convinced
of her isolation and inferiority, and tbe ab
solute necessity of submitting to the con
ditions she herself has rendered necessary.
It was reported on the London Stock Ex
change that England is about to pnrehase
tbe founders’ shares in the Suez canal, but
as nothing has trauBpired as a basis of this
report, it is considered as a stock jobbing
oanard to affect Egyptian securities.
Twenty-eight of the thirty-three districts
of Roumania have been placed under mar
tial law. The necessity of the measure is
statod to be because the civil law does not
recognize capital punishment.
The eldest son of Crosby S. Noyes, editor
of the Washington Star, took five out of the

Tub Proposed Prohibition or Fire
Ceackers.—A committee of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters have pe
titioned to the Mayor and Aldermen of
New York, and other cities, to adopt an
ordinance providing that no person shall
cast, throw or fire any squib, rocket,
cracker, torpedo, grenade or other com
bustible fireworks or explosive prepa
ration within the oity, under a penalty
for every such offence not exceeding five
dollars; also providing that it shall not
be lawful for any person to sell or offer
for sale within the limits of tbe city any
crackers, squibs, etc., except in tbe origi-
pal package as imported; penalty for
each offence two dollars. Tbe third sec
tion provides against tbe manufacture
within the city limits of any fireworks
under a penalty of twenty dollars for
each offence.
Tho Richmond papery mention with
much pleasure that in the decoration
ceremonies in that city the graves of
Confederates were not forgotten. The
monument to Stonewall Jackson in the
capitol was handsomely decorated by
some unknown hand, and, says the En
quirer: “Garlands of flowers were carried
by a deputation from the society of the
Grand Army to Oakwood and Hollywood,
accompanied by a card bn which was
written: ‘We honor the brave. In token
of that glorious sentiment, no North, no
South, no East, no West, but one united
oountry mourning alike our fallen
brave.’ "
A Word of Encouragement Tor Savan
nah.
In another column we print an edi
torial article from the Macon Telegraph
and Messenger on the financial condition
of Savannah, to which we invite the at
tention of our citizens. Our respected
cotemporary, writing in a friendly spirit,
takes a hopeful and encouraging
view of our present financial em
barrassment, and expresses confidence
both in the ability and purpose of our
people to meet their just obligations.
As we have before said, the idea of re
pudiating any portion of our city debt
is not, and never has been, entertained by
any respectable portion of oar citizens.
The necessity for an accommodation of
terms adapted to the present emergency
has been felt and admitted by all, but
in asking for such an accommodation
as would give present relief, it was
farthest from the thought of our people
to submit the city credit to fiual dishonor.
While the figures upon which the Tele
graph and Messenger bases its article may
not be strictly correct, still that paper
does us but justice when it expresses the
confident hope that our people will “with
heroic constancy and fortitude resolve to
pay to the utmost farthing all that they
owe.”
Thanking our eotemporary for his
kmdly and encouraging words, we as
sure him that, though he may have over
estimated our financial ability, he has
not mistaken tbe spirit of our people.
In common with the oountry at large,
we have suffered from tbe general pa
ralysis, rnd have felt the mildew blight
of Radical misrule. But Savannah is
still the commercial emporium of the
Empire State of Georgia, and her peo
ple will never permit her name to be
dishonored. There is life in the old
burg yet.
Atlanta Independent (“Fatty
paper; throws oat this bit of
The
Harris’
comfort to its anti-convention friends
“Gen. William Phillips is stumping the
mountains with surprising effect against
the proposed convention. Cobb county
has a ticket for this district for no con
vention. Should the vote of upper Geor
gia be all cast, no convention will carry
two to one. The abomination should be
voted down. Gen. Phillips says that this
is the only crack the people will get at a
now constitution, as the convention, if it
carries, will not submit its work to a vote
of the people.”
It happens that General Phillips is
President of a railroad that wants State
aid, hence he opposes a convention. He
is mistaken, however, in his zeal to de
feat the will of the people of Georgia,
when he asserts that his section will go
“two to one” against the call; and he is
equally mistaken in declaring that the
new constitution will not be submitted to
the people. Why even the leading Radi
cals in Atlanta, with Bullock at their
head, privately admit that the convention
is ture to be held, as the Democrats are
not as divided as they expected to find
them on the question. Office holders,
State aid advocates and bogus bond men
are fighting tbe call, but the true men of
the State will sustain it nobly on Tuesday
next at the polls.
The Washington Government has been
extremely anxious to get its claws upon
some of the State Governments of the
South ever since the discomfiture of the
carpet-baggers. At last it has found a
pretext for interfering with the local
government of Mississippi. A man
named McClelland, claiming to be a Brit
ish subject, was killed in the Kemper
county riot, and we read that the Depart
ment of Justice has instructed the Dis
trict Attorney for the Southern District
of Mississippi to investigate the facts in
the case. If McClelland was mur
dered, it is a matter for the State to
inquire into, and it is proper that the
officials at Washington should request the
Governor of the State of Mississippi to
investigate the matter and transmit the
result of his inquiries to the Secretary of
State, so that he may communicate it to
the British Minister. It would be
equally proper, however, for Governor
Stone to institute, on the part of the
Remonetization of SilTer.
The question of the remonetization of
silver and the ooinage of the “dollar of
our fathers” is assuming gigantic propor
tions in the West especially, and will
prove a prominent feature of the politi
cal campaigns in that section next fall.
This proposed action means a restoration
of silver coin to the dignity of a legal
tender, and increasing tbe value of the
present silver dollar to that which it
possessed in the earlier days of the re
public, when the old silver dollar was the
standard of value in this country, and
weighed 412] grains of 900 fineness.
The following condensed history of this
dollar will prove of interest in this con
nection: In 1792, when the Federal
Congress commenced the discussion of a
unit of value, the old Spanish dollar was
the basis of exchange, and that coin was
adopted as such by Congress. In 1794
the first American dollar was coined, and
it weighed 416 grains, of which 371]
grains were pure silver. Soon afterwards,
it was considered well to make gold also a
standard of value, so as to give the country
a bi-metallic currency, aud under the ad
vice of Alexander Hamilton—that “a gold
coin containing l-15th as much pare gold
as the silver dollar contained pure silver
gave the just ratio upon which to estab
lish a doable standard"—a gold dollar was
coined weighing 27 grains, of which 24 J
grains were pure. Thus the bi-metallic
currency was first attempted to be estab
lished, and then began the contest, as it
were, between gold and silver.
It was soon determined that, under this
system of coinage, the silver dollar was
not worth as much as the gold, aDd,
consequently, every ore who owed
debts endeavored to pay them in the
cheaper currency. The result was that
gold disappeared, and business was done
solely on a silver basis. In 1834 the gold
coin was debased, and the gold dollar
then contained only 23 2-lOgraics of pure
metal, instead of 24J. By this act, gold
was rendered cheaper than silver, and the
latter in turn disappeared. Thus it was
clearly Bhown that the desired bi-metallic
system was not established yet, so in
1837 another effort in that direction was
made. The value of the gold dollar was
raised to a fineness of 9.10 with a weight
of 25.8 grains, and so it remains to-day.
The silver dollar containing 4121 grains
of pure metal continued to be coined,
and this is the “dollar of our fathers,
which it is desired to restore, for iu 1873
silver was, unconstitutionally, demone-.
tized by Congress, being made a legal
tender only to the extent of five dollars,
leaving gold as our only standard of
value. It is for a repeal of this law, aud
against this single standard, that the
West is so vigorously fighting at this time.
In this contest the South will join hands
heartily with the West, and against the
East, for the following palpable reason:
In the East the government bonds are
principally held. Gold being at this
time the more valuable of the two metals
though the history of the silver dollar,as
given above, shows that, under certain
circumstances, it is just as liable to fluctu
ations in value as is silver—it is very
uatural that the holders of these bonds
should wish them to be paid, principal
and interest, in the most precious metal
that can be obtained, and no doubt, if it
were regarded as at all plausible or prob
able, these bondholders would contend
equally as hard for the principal and in
terest of their bonds in diamonds. But
the West and South (especially the latter,
which owns no bonds, but to the contra
ry, was impoverished by the war, and is
still struggling hard to recuperate),
think very differently on this subject.
It is equally as natural for those
seetions, which have to be taxed
to meet these bonds, to desire that
they be paid in that coin, which, while it
comes up to all the requirements of tbe
law and the Constitution, and can cancel
the national debt without violating the
faith of the government (for these bonds
were only agreed to be paid “in ooin” at
a time when the silver dollar was recog
nized by the Constitution and Congress
as of equal value with that of gold), can
be procured more readily aud with the
least burden to themselves. This is why
these two sections will unite on this
State, an action for trespass against any |
United States officer who oomes down I question, and will act together for the re-
tbere interfering

Ohio Politics.—The Democratic coun
oil at Columbus on Thursday blocked out
the policy to be pursued by the party in
the approaching campaign in Ohio. It
was settled that the convention should be
reoommended to let the greenback ques
tion severely aione and stick to the silver
dollar of tho fathers. The debate on the
subject was very brisk aud developed
wide range of opinion, l’endleton and
Ewing are known to be for a greenback
campaigu of the old Bill Allen type, while
Thurman and others are for hard money.
The silver dollar was taken as a eompro
arise. Sherman’s financial policy was
roundly denounced on all hands and the
resumption act voted impracticable, on
the ground that the time for preparation
is not sufficient.
A Washington dispatch says that Gen.
Cornby, of Ohio, a leading Republican,
who is now in that city preparing for his
mission abroad, admits the probable de
feat of the Republicans in Ohio, because
there is a lack of the usual enthusiasm,
and the vote is likely to be small, as it ik
the off year; but he thinks it need not
embarrass the administration.
Savannah is not the only city in flnan
cial trouble. A few weeks ago it was
announced that there was danger that
the city of Pittsburg, Pa., would default
the interest on its bonds. Since then
the default has actually occurred ; the
semi-annual interest due on $5,000,000
bonds has not been paid, and the city’s
creditors do not know that it ever will be.
No provision is being made for the Ooto-
ber interest, and it is probable default
will be made on that, too. Al
luding to the financial condition
Pittsburg, the St. Louis Re-
publican remarks: “With the city in ar
rears for one year's interest, amounting
to $300,000, it will be no easy thing to
catch up, particularly as the tax-payers
are adverse to an increase of taxes and
apparently indifferent to the claims of
their creditors. It ought to be mentioned
that Pittsburg is not a Southern city, nor
is it Democratic.”
The Illinois Legislature, which has just
adjourned, sat almost five full months.
There were 1,097 bills introduced; the
House sent 170 to the Senate and the
Senate 160 to the House, bat only 175
reached the Governor.

monetization of silver.
The prominence and importance of
this question is shown by the avidity
with which it is seized upon by the Re
publicans of the West. It was the Re
publican party which unconstitutionally
demonetized silver, and it was the Demo
cratic party which first took issue with
the Kadioals on that point, and com
menced the fight againBt them. At first
tbe Republican press laughed to scorn
the Democratic ideas on this subject, just
as they have hitherto opposed Demo
cratic idoas on the subject of the
treatment of the South. Yet, so popn
lar has the movement become, and
so certain is it to win at the coming
elections that, as Senator Thurman, of
Ohio, says, the Radioals are trying to
steal Democratic thunder in that issue,
just as they have attempted to appropriate
to themselves credit for adopting the
Democratic polioy on the Southern ques
tion. The anomaly is therefore presented
to-day of such men as Hayes, who ran
for Governor of Ohio against Hon. Wil
liam Allen on an ultra gold platform, and
such papers as the Cincinnati Gommer
cial, the most ardent supporter of Hayes,
and his quondam golden policy, comiDg
out in favor of the silver dollar. All this,
we say, shows the favor which (he move
ment is reoeiving, and indioates the oer
tainty of its winning at the polla It is
but another phase of the constantly re
curring conflict of interests between the
bond-holding East on the one hand, and
the taxpaying West and South on
the other, and there is but little doubt
that this silver question will go as
far to determine the Presidency in
1880, as the Southern question did in
1876. We predict that it will result in
a oomplete Democratic triumph, for it
will be just as hard to make the majority
of the people cf this oountry believe that
the Radical party favors anything but a
gold basis, as it will be to make them be
lieve that the party ever was, is, or ever
will be, just to the South.
Tbe Troubles Caused bj Wicked
Partners.
“Under Democratic control there is no
bright future for our country ; no peace
except a peace that would be worse than
war. That party deserves to die, aod it
ought to die, and with the help of God
and a patriotic people it will die.”
Tbe Cincinnati Gazette, from which the
above extract is taken, is edited by the
great aud good Deaeon Richard Smith, of
Ohio. Of coarse our readers are all fa
miliar with him, for no man so eminently
pious and so truly good can hide his light
under a bushel, no matter how large it
may be. But there is no rose without
thorns, nor is there any man living who
does not suffer, more or less, of the trials
of life, and even the shining morality and
spotless caroer of such a man as the good
Deacon does not bring about immunity
from tribulation.
The great and sore trial of the Deacon’s
life is that he is afflicted with two wicked
partners. For long, long, weary vears
has he toiled, plead and prayed to keep
these bad young men in the straight and
narrow paths of rectitude, and it is de
clared by some that he consents to
live in partnership with them—not be
cause he finds it profitable in a carnal
sense; oh, no ; not because they help
him to accumulate filthy lucre, not that-
but because he hopes that his example
may yet work out good to them,
and his prayers for their conver
sion may be heard, and his
labors and toils yet be crowned with
glorious success. The good Deacon
cheerfully submits to all the trouble and
sacrifice demanded at his hands in this,
his life-long task, for he confesses and
humbly believes that “he who shall con
vert a sinner from the error of his ways
shall save a soul from death, and hide
multitude of sins.”
-We have thu3 dwelt on the high moral
part of Deacon Smith’s character in or
der that we may give a reason for the
faith that is in us, that these terribly
wicked partners have been again playing
their sad jokes on the Deacon, and have
taken advantage of his absence in
Washington, where he was re
cently looking after a postal card
contract, to put false statements in
his paper. For though the Gazette is
the most rampant Radical sheet in Ohio,
yet it cannot be even suspected that
Deacon Smith would consent to state
what is not strictly true, even though
thereby he might gain a political advan
tage. Yet in the extract above quoted,
there are two distinct and palpable per
versions of the truth. Every truly good
Deacon must confess that a bright future
can only be seoured to any country by a
strict adherence to honesty, integrity and
capacity on the part of its rulers, and
Deacon Smith must certainly recognize
the fact that the course of the Radical
party, since it has been in power, has
been marked by fraud, corruption, dis
honesty and muddle-headedness. And,
since the Democracy has all along vio
lently opposed these things in the powers
that be, it follows, as a thing of course,
that it is only under Democratic rule that
the coveted brightfuture can be made cer
tain. Again it is stated that the Democratic
party ought to die, and will die, etc. As
Radicals, no doubt the good Deacou and
his wicked partners all agree that the
Democratic party ought to die, but, in the
face of the fact that the “patriotic peo
ple” of the country voted last fall that
it was the Radical organization that
deserved death, and that the Democratio
party should be restored to power, it is
utterly impossible that the good, virtu
ous Radical deacon could have stated so
palpable an untruth as the assertion that
it will die. It is sad that the honest old man
should thus have to bear the burden of
the misdoings of his wicked partners.
Really if they don’t soon amend, he will
be forced, in self defence, to sever his
connection with them, and abandon
them to their fate. This will cause him
many a pang, but he can cleanse his
skitts of the consequences, and, with a
clear conscience, rely solely on govern
ment contracts for a living. Their blood
be upon their own heads. He has done
his duty by them.

Startling Reports of England's Action,

It is gradually dawning on those Re

The Cincinnati Gazette bluntly says:
‘The cessation of military interven
tion between competing governments in
any State is an accomplished fact. That
cannot be renewed. It was played out
any how, and, against a hostile house,
holding in its hands the existence of the
army, the President could not continue
it, nor oould he renew it. We may say
the same of all attempts to give military
protection to the elections. The extinc
tion of the Chamberlain and Packard

those of Hampton and Nicholls are also
accomplished facts. There is nothing
tentative in any of these things.”

Not so Bad—A More Cheerful Outlook
for Savannah.
[Macon Telegraph, 8th.]
We conversed yesterday with a Macon
banker, a gentleman of great sagacity and
business experience, who had just re
turned from Savannah.
In answer to our inquiries, he said that
the reports of tbe desperate financial con
dition of that city had been greatly exag
gerated. The facts are these in a nut
shell: The corporation of Savannah
owns two millions’ worth of real estate,
which pays a ground rent of six per cent,
annually, sufficient to wipe out half of
the interest of her entire debt. TheD,
from the rental of market stalls and water
privileges, $41,000 more are realized, in
dependent of the regular tax list which,
at per cent., yields $300,000.
Tuus it is seen the city can, without
serious difficulty, meet the interest of
her present indebtedness.
Moreover, by funding the entire
amount (in round numbers $4,100,000',
in five per cent, bonds, bearing long
dates, she can continue to defray the ac
cruing interest annually, meet all cur
rent expenses, and lay aside a small
sinking fund also, for the extinction of
the principal.
This is certainly an encouraging view
of tbe case, and if correct, ought to
knock into smithereens the plans and
calculations of repudiationists.
We trust it will be many a long day be
fore our noble seaport, the entrepot of so
large a portion of the commerce of the
conntry, and tbe abode of merchant
princes whose escutcheon is without a
stain, shall refuse to meet principal and
interest of every just obligation. And
her worst enemies are those who counsel
compromise and the quasi repudiation of
a single cent of legal indebtedness.
This ignoring of one’s honest dues,
thanks to Radical pott bellum legislation,
is becoming frightfully common in pri
vate life, and corporations, too, forsooth,
are emulating the ignoble example.
Nothing oould be more ruinous both to
the morals acd finances of any people.
Let ns hope then that our trusty fellow
citizens of the Forest City will scout any
such proposition, and with heroic con
stancy and fortitude, resolve to pay to
the uttermost farthing all that they owe.
It will prove to be the wisest and beat
policy in the end, and result in the utter
discomfiture of their insidious enemies.
Financial credit, like woman's virtue,
must be unassailable and beyond re -
proach. It would be a wofal day for Sa
vannah, or any other Southern city, when
the news was trnmpeted abroad that
they sought refuge in repudiation for hon
orable indebtedness. Nothing could
more effectually ring the deathknell of
the prosperity of such a community.
In this connection it affords us pleas
ure also to deny and denounce as utterly
destitute of credence and fonndation
tbe sensational rumor that yellow fever
still lingers, or has appeared again in
our sister city.
Nothirg could be more cruelly false or
gratuitous. On the contrary, the evi
dence is cumulative on the part of physi
cians, merchants, visitors and the unani
mous public, that the health of Savan
nah was never more perfect, while
wholesome, sanitary regulations and re
freshing showers impart exceptional sa
lubrity to the atmosphere.

Pabis, June 8.—The communication which
Russia sends to London is not a note in a
diplomatic sense bat a letter from Prince
Gortschakoff in repjy to a letter of Lord
Derby which Count Sobonvaloff took with
him to St. Petersburg. In his letter Lord
Derby drew the a tention of Russia to tbe
various points where English interests would
be affected if Russian action extended so far,
They were mentioned in Mr. Cross’ speech in
Parliament as on tbe Snez canal and Egypt,
Constantinople, Dardanelles and Persian
Gulf. The Prince’s letter successively takes
up these points and explains that Russia
does not mean to Interfere with any one of
them. Prince Gortschakoff acknowledges
the great international and commercial im
portance of the Suez canal, and gives the
most positive assurances that Rnssia does not
intend in any way to touch it. Rnssia, indeed,
thinks herself entitled, as a matter of right,
to carry the war to Egypt, bat explains that
any action in that direction has never been
taken into consideration. This is even
more the case as regards the Persian Golf.
Russia thinks that so important a mari
time passage as the Dardanelles should
always be regulated by international
agreement, and not by one power alone. Sbo
disclaims any intention of acqniring Con
stantinople, though at the same time she
oould not consent to Its possession by any
other Christian power. The communication
is silent as regards any temporary occupa
tion of Constantinople which may become
necessary and ensne in the conrse of Rns-
sian military achievements. The letter goes
on to say that Russia has remained true to
her programme, in aiming solely at im
proving the condition of the Christiana
in Tnrkev, which can only be done by co
eroing the Porte. As soon as Rnssia has
achieved this she will fall back on the reso
lutions .of the Constantinople conference,
and contend for such guarantees as will en
sure tbe efficacy of the reforms, asking the
powers to take np the thread where it was
broken by the desolation of the conference.
Bucharest, June 8.—Twenty-eight of the
thirty-three districts composing Roumania

London, June 8 The Russian advance is
threatening communication between Erze-
ronm and Trebizond, and Monkhtar Pasha

obeck them.
Roumania has fifty-five thousand men in

army corps.
Among the reports circulated yesterday
on tbe London Stock Exchange were that
England is about to pnrehase the founders
shares in the Suez canal, and that she is
abont to pnrehase tbe Porte’s sovereign
rightB .in Egypt. Some papers think that
the advance in Egyptian stocks indicates a
good fonndation for the reports; others think
the steps already taken are ample to justify
the return of confidence in Egyptian se
enrities, and that all reports of farther ac
tion are mere stock jobbing canards. Noth'
ing yet made public affords a basis of opin
ion as to which of the views is correct.
The Pad Matt Gazette of Wednesday af
ternoon, in a leading article, advocated tbe
British occnpation of Egypt forthwith.
London, Jane 8.:—Stirring news is expeot-
ed from Nikopolis. The Roumanian shore
is lower than the Turkish, bat the soil is

I’loiesti, June 8.—Tbe Czar and tbe
Grand Dnkes proceeded to Bucharest to-day
to visit Prince Charles, and will return to

Brussels, Jane 8.—Le Xord, which
maintains intimate connection with the
Russian foreign office, last night published
an appeal abont peace rumors. The follow
lowing are significant extracts: “Russia will
not lay down her arms until guarantees cor
responding with the sacrifices already made
have been established from Tar
key.” » » » * “There is no
question ofj Rnssia concluding a cheap bar
gain. The demonstration must be complete,
and the results decisive.” * * » » “it is
necessary for the security of the future that
Turkey should be perfectly convinced of her
isolation and inferiority, and the absolute
necessity of submitting to conditions she
herself has rendered neoessary.”
London, May 8.—The Pall Mall Gazette's
Berlin dispatch says : “The entrance of
Zimbrakosaki into the Greek Cabinet as
Minister of War is received as a warlike
symptom. He is a Cretan, and at the time
of the Cretan insurrection direoted the mili
tary operations of the insurgents.”
An Odessa dispatch to the limes says the
Rassian Trading Company has resumed
running steamers between Odessa and
Mikolieff after a month’s stoppage. There
were many passeugers and a tolerable cargo
on the first trip. The Turkish blockade is
ineffectual.
Constantinople, June 8.—The Montene
grins on Wednesday attacked Spuz and were
defeated, leaving 23 dead and CO wounded.
Vienna, Jnne 8.—The Political Corres
pondence details the fighting on the 4th
instant near Kristach, Kristaz, and Piva.
Both sides fonght with great bravery the

New York is after the oleomargarine

that it shall no longer be palmed off on
