Vienna and Berlin that the Congress will be
held on the second of April.
The trial of James G. Grow, a prominent
Washii gton and New Orleans lawyer, began

BY TELEGRAPH. EVENING TELEGRAMS.
Certain of
changes who were zealous advocate^ of
the remonetization of silver when : ott
measure was before Congress are in «..
siderable trepidation lest the overwht lin
ing majority manifested in favor of liie
silver bill will redound i* the advantage
of the Democratic party. Hence they
are strenuously asserting that the meas
ure was purely a sectional, not a party
question, that the bill could never have
become a law without the assistance of
Republican members of Congress, and
that therefore the Democracy as a party
cannot hope to be benefited thereby.
Of course we all know that the silver
bill could not have become a law with
out the co-operation cf the Radical mem
bers. We know also that the remonetiza
tion measure was one more sectional
than partisan in its nature; moreover, we
know that many leading Democrats, as
well as leading Republicans, opposed it.
But, notwithstanding ali these facts,
there are certain matters connected with
this measure for which the Democracy
must get the credit.
It cannot be denied that it was an act
of a Congress overwhelmingly Radical
by which silver was demonetized in the
first place, and so thoroughly were those
who participated in this act ashamed or
afraid of their work that they
did it sneakinglv and secretly.
It cannot be denied that it
was a most bitter Radical President
(Grant) who approved this demonetiza
tion. nor can it be again denied that the
whole thing was done in the interests of
the bondholders, a large majority of
whom were members of the Radical
party. Furthermore it is well known
that during the Tilden-Hayes Presidential
campaign, the secret demonetization was
bitterly denounced by Democratic press
and speakers, and that the demand for a
rei*al of the act, and for a restoration of
silver to the nominal and constitutional
position as a medium of currency, origi
nated from, and was made by, the same
press and speakers. Also, it was a very
noticeable fact that the Radical press
and speakers at that time either kept
silence on the subject of remonetization
or opposed it vehemently. Not one, as
far as we can remember, advocated it.
These are plain and well-known
truths, and the fact that Radical mem-
bers of Congress voted afterwards to
uudo what their own party had previ
ously done, only proves one of two
things. Either they became converts to
Democratic ideas on this subject or they
were anxious to try and reconciliate a
popular sentiment which they had de
liberately outraged.
It follows then., as a matter of course,
that the Democracy w ill be very likely
to gain in popularity by the re
monetization of silver, and most
certainly it will deserve whatever
political advantage is to be derived
therefrom. Remonetization was not by
any means needed as an element in the
destruction of Radicalism. The legion
of corruptions and frauds which marked
the days of Grantism, together with the
crowning infamies of the Louisiana re
turning board and electoral commission
outrages were sufficient for that, and they
had already accomplished their work be
fore the present Congress assembled.
Nevertheless, remonetization must be re
garded as one of the reforms instituted
by the Democracy foi the correction of
Radical evil practices, and being so re
garded, its effect must be to the prejudice
of the Republican party, and the growth
in favor'of its political opponents.
Beast Butler’s Inflation Scheme.
A Washington special says Beast But
ler has two resolutions which he intends
offering in the House a3 soon as he can
get the floor, when he will attempt to
put them through under a motion to sus
pend the rules. The first is to instruct
the House of Representatives Banking
and Currency Committee to report a bill
providing fo: the withdrawal of all sub
sidiary coin from circulation and the
issuing in lieu thereof of fractional cur
rency of the denomination of twenty-five
and fifty cents. The second resolution
instructs the same committee to report
a bill directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to pay out in the current ex
penses of the government twenty mil
lions of dollars in one, two and five dol
lar notes, in proportionate amounts.

After the completion of Grant’s second
Presidential term his friend Robeson re
mained for a few days in control of the
Navy Department. During these few
days the jolly Robeson labored so indus
triously in awarding fat contracts to his
own chums and foliowers that the aggre
gate amount reached several million dol
lars. Chief Engineer Shock now testifies
hat lie signed the documents “on a per
emptory written order from Secretary
Robeson,” and as soon as the new Secre
tary (Thompson) arrived, informed him
of the wasteful and illegal bargains sane
tioned by his predecessor. Thereupon
Mr. Thompson immediately suspended
the contracts so hurriedly made by Robe
son. What a fitting finale to the jobbery
and violence shielded by Grant’s admin
istration! Robeson is now beyond the
reach of impeachment, nor need he hand
in a resignation like Belknap; but he is
not beyond the reach of full exposure
and criminal prosecution.
Secretary Sherman on the Silver
Law.—The Washington correspondent
of the New York Journal of Commerce
says: “Referring to the effect of carry
ing out the silver dollar law Secretary
Sherman has made the following note
worthy statement. His exact language
is given : ‘I have this opinion, which I
can express strongly, that under tli£ law
as it now stands we can maintain the sil
ver dollar at par with the best money
afloat, either gold or currency, and can
issue fifty ami perhaps one hundred mil
lions of these silver dollars, giving great
relief to the people. I think we can
issue from fifty to one hundred millions
at par in gold, but we can do it only on
the basis of the present law. ’ Such is the
deliberate, carefully considered opinion
of the Secretary of the Treasury. It will
doubtless excite much comment in
financial and Congressional circles.”
That Fishery Award.—With regard
to the inordinate Halifax award, it seems
very' clear that the government cannot
escape payment on a technical plea. Ex-
President Woolsey, of Yale College, an
authority on international law, has writ
ten a letter in which he shows that in
ternational arbitration follows not Eng
lish, but Homan law, which holds a ma
jority decision to be binding unless oth-
the government bonds, the terms of the
prospectuses put forth on the negotiation
of the loans, and the official interpreta
tion^ of the authorizing acts, and reaches
the following conclusions.
“We have thought it best, in discussing
a subject of this importance, to quote the
actual words of the documents referred
to. and of the authorities cited. We
prefer to leave our readers thus free to
form their own judgment on the state
ments placed before them. But no doubt
is left on our minds as to what the sub
scribers to the American funded loans
believed they were entitled to receive.
They had paid a full price in the value
of gold coin, the coin mentioned in the
prospectus to each loan, and thev justly
expect to receive the value of ‘‘gold
coin” in return. The remonetization
of silver by the United States will
undoubtedly have the effect of rais^
ing the value of silver over the whole
world, and there may be eventu
ally a smaller difference between the
value of silver and gold than that which
exists at the present moment. Silver may
come again to hold the proportional value
in reference to gold that it did some years
since. And in that case the American
bondholders, even if paid in silver dollars,
might experience no injury. But that i-
not the question. The question is one of
justice, and of a stipulated payment be
ing made as it was stipulated. To fail In
any respect in the performance of this
Mould injure, and to a greater degree
than can readily be imagined, the credit of
the United States; more than this, such
an act would lower the credit of repre
sentative institutions over the world.
From every point of view we should feel
a deeper regret than we can well express
Tf the Government of the United States
failed in the slightest degree to perform
its duty to its creditors. ”
The New* points out that, on the other
hand, there is a good deal of unreason
among capitalists and creditors of the
United States. They exaggerate the ac
tual mischief done them, and do not take
sufficiently into account the difficulties
of the question and the efforts making by
the American community to mitigate the
present evil and prepare for sounder
measures. The News discards the idea
that the passage of the silver bill M as due
to any peculiarity in the character of the
American people or to the form of our
government.’ It thinks it veiy probable
that, under similar circumstances, ihe
English people would have pursued a
similar course. It says:
“As to the actual mischief done, we
hold that in the present state of currency
discussion no community is to be blamed
as repudiating because it reverts to a
double standard of gold and silver, that
having been the legal standard to a very
recent date, as recent in the American
case as 1873. and gives up a single gold
standard which had never in fact come
into practical use, owing to the currency
of the country being actually inconverti
ble paj>er. To re-enact a double standard
may Ik? unfortunate in many ways, and
may have been supported in many tju al
ters by arguments for repudiation, but
it Is not ]ter *e a measure of repudiatiou.
and may have had the honest
support of thousands and mil
lions to whom repudiation
would be hateful. There is, in fact, a
great apparent division of opinion among
experts as to w hether gold alone, or gold
and silver together at a fixed proportion,
is the mo>t convenient money: and if
the American people vote for a double
standard they are only following in the
footsteps of France and other great Eu
ropean countries. The change is one quite
within the recognized prerogatives of
every government in dealing with cur
rency, and is, indeed, a much smaller
change than that involved in the issue of
inconvertible paper—a measure which all
great nations, not excepting England,
have at different times resorted to, and
which was adopted by France under the
stress of the German invasion of 1870,
without any charge of Aispicion or re
pudiation. It is most unjust, therefore,
to treat what the Americans are doing as
repud iation.”
Validity of Mr. Hayes’ Title.—A
Washington special to the New York
World says the stories which have been
set afloat that resolutions have been pre
pared for introduction in the House to
question Mr. Hayes’ title may be consid
ered as set at rest. “The declaration of
Mr. Hewitt the other day that his title
was e legal one and could not be disturb
ed reflects the views of three-fourths of
the members of the House. Probably
two-thirds of the Republicans, and possi
bly one-half of the Democrats, wish that
Mr. Tilden were in the White House, but
they are not willing to take any new steps
to put him there. Mr. Blackburn, of
Kentucky, who has lieen credited with
the intention of introducing a resolution
to inquire into the validity of the Presi
dential title, says he has no such doou
ment, aud knows of no such movement.
There has been an informal conference* as
to the propriety of a very thorough and
complete investigation of the manner in
which Mr. Hayes was declared elected,
and it is not denied that Republicans are
anxious for such an inquiry.”

Hobart Pasha has invited the principal
leaders of the insurrection at Macrinitza to
meet him for a parley, with a view to
suspension of hostilities in Thessaly.
His letter was addressed to the chiefs of
the malcontent party. The chiefs assembled
in council, and replied if Hobart Pasha
wished an interview with the chiefs of the
provisional government of the province,
they would send envoys to meet him, indi
cating their determination to refuse the
parley, unless their statu* is recognized,
which is inadmissible.
A special dispatch from Berlin to the
Times says North and South German news
papers express great anxiety about Austria's
future. Russia is buying large quantities of
saltpetre and torpedoes.
The Daily Telegraph’# Vienna correspon
dent telegraphs that it is urged in official
circles here that England has no ground to
make war without first going to the Con
gress. If she does, she will have the disap
probation of Germany and Austria. If Eng
land compromises on the Congress, Count
Andrassy’s policy will be thw-arted, and the
hope of an ultimate Anglo-Austrian under
standing must be abandoned. The Berlin
Cabinet holds the same view.
Advices from Tiflis state that the typhus
fever is raging among the Russian troops in
Asia. Generals Melikoff, Salowieff and
Schelkowuikoff are reported to have
died. It is believed that more men have
been lost by sickness since the cessation of
hostilities than on the battle field during the
war.
The Times has the following from Paris:
‘It is stated that Russia now proposes to
read the whole treaty to the Congress,
leaving to it the right to select articles for
discussion. A correspondent believes that
England will refuse this compromise, and
Russia will eventually yield.”

THE TORONTO RIOT.
YELLOW FEVER IN RIO JANEIRO.
One of the ultimate effects of silver re
monetization, says the St. Louis Repub
lican, will undoubtedly be a general ad
vance in prices, and when that occurs
the country will begin realize some of
the substantial advantages of the silver
bill. When the laborer gives less w*ork
for a dollar, or a merchant sells less of
the product of labor for a dollar than he
dittd now. and yet pays his debts dollar
for dollar with this cheaper dollar, he
will be driving the benefit which the
silver advocates aimed tO him. That |
is what the gold money people call dis
honesty, but it means that a debt shall be
paid with the same amount of labor re
presented in coin as the money originally
borrowed represented, and if that is dis
honesty, it is more honorable than
honesty.
Destructive Fire in Cleveland. Ohio.
The Four Per Cents and Four .and
a Half Per Cents.—In regard to the
statements published that the Treasury
Department wouid place one hundred
million dollars of four and a half per
cent. l>onds upon the market, the Secre
tary of the Treasury states that in re
sponse to applications he has asked* that
terms for placing these bonds be submit
ted for his consideration. The offers re
ceived have not been satisfactory, and
the Secretary states that only four per
cent, bonds will now* be sold unless the
four and a half per cents, can be dispos
ed of at their relative value with four per
cents., the latter being placed at par, and
he will, at any time, receive bids for the
four and a half per cent, bonds on that
basis.
Wholesale Emigration from Penn
sylvania.—During the month of Feb
ruary there were eleven hundred emi
grant tickets sold for the West at the
Harrisburg (Pa.) depot of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, it being double the num
ber sold in the corresponding month of
last year. The emigrants were among
the best citizens of the State—well-to-do
farmers, mechanics, wheelwrights, crafts
men of all kinds, and a large number of
whom had been tenants on farms, who
had accumulated" sufficient to buy land
in the West, and were about to locate in
colonies along the line of the Western
railroads.
The report received in Washington

lumber shipped from Pensacola is taken

fore a committee of the House.ona charge of
certifying to blank postal bids. Senator Dor

that one forty-thousand-dollar route was
sub-let for fifteen thousand dollars, and
that one combination controlled over six

Gold in the Treasury.
The House of Representatives Bank
ing and Currency Committee propose to
ascertain exactly how much gold coin
there is in the Treasury available for re
sumption by having it all re weighed.
Some members of the committee are dis
posed to side with Representative Kelley
and accept as true his assertion that there
is not as much gold on hand as is shown
by the Treasury books and as is reported
by Secretary Sherman. To determine
this point the committee will request the
Secretary to have all the gold weighed in
the presence of members of the com
mittee, and a detail of members will be
made to go to New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago,. St Louis,
New Orleans and Baltimore, to witness
the weighing in the sub-Treasuries of
those cities. The Collector for the port
of San Francisco will be requested to
witness the weighing there and to certify
under oath that he has done so and to
the result. Members of the committee
believe such a course absolutely neces
sary in order to settle the disputed point
as to whether the books of the Treasury
are accurate or not.

TRIAL OF LAME? 6. GROM .
New York, March 20.—The trial of Jas.
G. Grow, a prominent Washington and New
Orleans lawyer, charged Mith forging a
power of attorney for the purpose of col
lecting the interest due on registered United
States bonds, the property of John Slatery.
of this city, was begun in the United States
Circuit Court to-day. Jno. E. Richardson, an
accomplice of Grow’s, was the first
witness examined. Gtom : told the witness
that he wanted him to help him find a
man named Jno. Slatery. He wanted to
find Glatlin so as to collect the interest due
on United States bonds. Grow showed
witness a list of the names of persons to
whom interest was due, and said it em
braced about $300,000 to $400,000. Grow
then gave witness a few of the names from
the list, and the witness identified the
list. Witness saw Grow a day or two
after, and then saw Kimball also a
few days later. Witness saw Grow again
and he produced the signature of different
persons having bond interest due them.
These signatures being tracings taken at
the Treasury Department from the originals,
witness at * once copied the signature of
John Slatery- Witness next went to see
Gildersleeve, M'ith whom he was ac
quainted, and asked him to write
the name of John Slatery, which he did
with exact imitation without seeing the copy
from the Treasury Department, M'hich wit
ness had Mrith him. After several meetings
with GroM-, the witness brought about a
meeting between Grow and Gildersleeve at
the Stevens House, in this city, where Gil
dersleeve signed the power of ’attorney. A
paper was then draM'n up providing that
Grow shonld have fifty per cent, of the
amount. Twenty-five per cent., GroM- said,
M as to pay the political ring in Washington,
and the remaining twenty-five per cent. M as
to be divided between Kimball, Gildersleeve
and witness. It was also arranged that
witness Mas to have twenty per cent, of
Grow’s share, leaving GroM- forty-three per
cent on the whole collection. The money
was to be collected through Middleton &
Co., bankers, at Washington, and deposited
to Grow’s order. Witness again saM- Grow
in October. GroM- telegraphed to witness
at Washington to come to New York as he
had received a dispatch from the Treasury
Department saying that it must have the
numbers of the bonds upon M'hich the
interest was due before paying it. Witness
next saM* Grow in this city, and he wanted
witness to get somebody who M as acquainted
with Mr. Patterson, of the sub-Treasury, to
introduce him as Slatery, but the Mitness
refused.
This case has excited considerable at
tention, as it is the first tried under the act
signed by President Hayes on the 16th in
stant permitting prisoners accused of crime
to testify in their own behalf, and as it
reaches to other frauds committed upon the
Treasury Department.

CARDINAL M’CLOSKEY’S HAT TO BE CON
FERRED.
The Electoral Commission ls Oil.—
President Johnson wanted to “make
treason odious.” and now a Mrs. Fas
sett is trying to make it immortal, so far
at least as it is in the power of art to ac
complish that end. The Washingtn Star
says:
"Mrs. Fassett is painting on her Elec
toral Commission picture in the Supreme
Court room at the capitol, and those who
have not l>een able to respond to the in
vitations for sittings heretofore will find
it convenient to do so now. The picture
promises to be both of artistic and his
torical merit, and already attracts much
attention in its unfinished state.”
The majority members of the “eight
toseven ” conclave who have a proper
regard for the opinion of posterity will
not be anxious for “ sittings ” for a place
in that picture.

Pope Pins IX. aud Jefferson Davis.
The Catholic Uni terse, published at
Cleveland, Ohio, contains an extract from
letter addressed to its editor by Mr. Dif
vis. In the course of the letter he pays
the following tribute to the dead Pontiff:
* * * I grieve with you over the de
cease of the great and nobly good Pio
Nono. In common with all who honor
true pietv. that which begets universal
charity, I feel the loss which the Christian
world has sustained in the departure of
this grand exemplar; but I have personal
obligations added to the common cause
for mourning.
You have mentioned many character
istic acts of that sublime man: let me
add one, of which you might not other
wise learn, for it was as privately as it
was graciously done.
f Vhen our war had closed in the defeat
the South, I was incarcerated with
treatment the most needlessly rigorous,
if not designedly cruel; when the inven
tion of malignants was taxed to its utmost
to fabricate stories to defame and degrade
me in the estimation of mankind, when
time-servers at home as well as abroad,
joined in the cry with which the ignoble
ever pursue the victim, a voice came
from afar to cheer and console me in my
solitary captivity.
The Holy Father sent to me his likeness,
and beneath it was written, by his own
hand, the comforting invitation our Lord
gives to all who are oppressed, in these
words:
Venite ad me omnet qui laboratis, et ego
reficiam toe, dicit Dominus.
That the inscription was autographic
was attested by “A1 Cardinal Barnabo,
December, 1866, ” under his seal. * *
