A Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Time* has been getting
some opinions about General Grant’s
chances for a Presidential nomination.
Postmaster General Key said that during
his recent long trip he found the people
of the West for Grant. “1 went a long
way,” he said, “and saw a great many
people, but I scarcely saw anybody that
was not for Grant. I tell you, he is very
popular in the West Of course I saw a
few who were not in favor of General
Grant for next President, but they mostly
belonged to the old Liberal Greeley
party, who object to a third term. They
do not like Grant, but they would sup
port him if nominated rather than a
Democrat.” Secretary YIcCrary said:
“The Iowa Republicans are for Blaine
first, but they would support Grant if he
should be nominated.” Representative
^ of California, said that no man
but Grant is talked of on the Pacific
coast.
The Relative Value of Gold and
Silver.
It is a well known and common charge
made by the friends of the single gold
standard, that the silver dollar of
the country is a dishonest coin, worth
only eighty five cents, and that the
passage of the bill making it a legal
tender for all dues to the government, on
the same terms with gold, was a dis
honest measure. The animus of such a
charge is very manifest. It is made with
the object of bringing the silver money
of the country into disrepute in the hope
that silver demonetization may yet pre
vail, and that then the bondholder and
capitalist can control the money market,
and will not only receive for his bonds
and greenbacks gold alone, but will be
able at pleasure to advance the value of
that metal by * ‘cornering” it at will. By
this means he can largely increase the
value of his own wealth, even though he
does so at the cost of every taxpayer and
workingman in the country.
No wonder, then, with this temptation
before him. the owner of bonds and the
banker and dealer in money is so gener
ally willing to applaud the recent action
of the New York banks, and be so per
sistent in his efforts to depreciate the
value of the standard silver dollar, and
bring it into disrepute. But let us see
what is the real truth of the matter.
The London Banker's Magazine,
which is regarded as good financial
authority, in its issue for October, 1878,
contains an article demonstrating the
fact that the change in the relative value
of gold and silver during the six years
from 1872 to 1878 has been about seventeen
per cent., but it proves that while only
about two per cent, of this difference is
attributable to a decline in silver, fifteen
per cent, was caused by a rise in gold.
It plainly shows that this is the case by
comparing the prices of a large number
>f staplcs^rticles of merchandize during
the timt .indicated, and showing thereby
that the purchasing power of silver has,
during the entire time, been about the
same. Moreover,the undue advance in the
price of gold is attributed naturally to two
things: First, the decrease in the supply
>f gold from the mines of the world, and
second, the large increase in tbe demand
for that metal for coinage and other pur
poses.
Regarding the first of these causes, the
following statistics are given:
The yearly gold product of 1855 v
about
That of lt73 about
..$150,000 000
. 100.GOO.OOO
Making the yearly decrease $ 50,000,000
So that now r the annual supply of gold
from the mines of the whole world is
only about two-thirds that of twenty
years ago. In the meantime population
has largely increased, the demands for
gold in the arts and for ornaments have
been increased, and tbe de.nand for
coinage has increased beyond all former
experience.
Regarding the second of these causes
for the advance in gold—the demand for
that metal for coinage—it is attributed to
the action of Germany and other govern
ments in Europe in demonetizing the
metal. And, en passant, thus says a
financial writer on this point
“From this course of Germany and
other governments in Europe this de
rnand for gold coinage is likely to in
crease, and it is necessary for the people
of the United States to protect them
selves from any harm likely to arise to
them in consequence of this European
demand for gold. If the country should
blindly follow the lead of the New York
clearing house, and ignore our standard
‘ It looks," says the New York Bullt-
hn, "as if we shall have to abandon
Mongolia as a market for surplus clocks,
the announcement being m4!ft now that
the heathen Chinee’ has found out how
to manufacture them as economically and
aa serviceable as they can be produced
m Connecticut or New York. There was
a time when American timepieces were
shipped to that quarter by the cargo but
that was before ’cheap John’ knew as
much as he does now It would not be
surprising if he should turn about ere
long and ship China clocks to the United
States, insisting upon selling them to us
at one-half it costs us to make them at
home. It is high time this kind of thing
►DDed. ’The Chinese must go'"
was stopped.
If the Cincinnati Ti,ne, is distressed
because there ere no negroes elected to
the next Congress it should use its influ
ence to have a negro elected in the Ash-
tabula district next time. There are at
least twenty thousand negro voters in
Ohio and it is about time they had a Con-
silver dollar, and if the balance of trade
should turn against us, drawing our
gold largely to Europe, then we would
be left with but little coin, and our finan
cial ruin would be certain. We must
therefore, not only not approve of the
New York clearing house plan, but
must largely increase our coinage of th-
standard silver dollar. Congress should
order its coinage to the full capacity of
our present mints, and this capacity
should be largely increased at once, and
this hurried coinage should not stop
short of $200,«W0,000, and thereafter it
should be continued at a slow rate until
£100,000,000 or more shall have been
coined.”
It is clear, therefore, that it is not silver
which has decreased in value, but, for the
reasons above given,it is the price cf gold
which has unduly increased, and for this
reason it is veiy easy to be understood
why ihe money lenders and bondholders
of the country should desire their means
to be in that money alone. But for this
very reason it is that the people of the
country demand that the Constitution
shall be observed, and that silver
as well as gold coin shall be the standard
of our currency. Then not only
will all “corners” in this last named
metal be prevented, but also the
honest money of the country will
be made more abundant. And since
both experience and statistics show that
the relative value of the two metals is 10
to 11; that the standard silver dollar
of 412* grains, 9-10 fine, bears about that
proportion to the gold dollar, and that
such silver dollar will purchase as much
of the commodities of life now as in the
days of our fathers,” the people are
satisfied that it is an houest dol
lar, and will not only demand that
such dollar shall remain the law
ful money of the United States,
but most probably that they shall
be coined in sufficient amounts to satisfy
the demands of the country in ac
cordance with the suggestions above
quoted. For further, says the writer
alluded to in regard to this matter of
unlimited silver coinage:
“From this rapid and large coinage
there would be this result: The differ
ence in the value of gold and silver
ould largely decrease, and they would
probably be nearly the same value. But,
if they should not become of the same
value, and our gold should be attracted
Europe, we would have left an abun
dant supply of specie in our standard
silver dollar, and our industries and
prosperity wou.d not be injured by the
exportation of our gold. Indeed, the
exporting of gold would then have a
good effect for us—the same beneficial
effect that would come from exporting
the same amount of wheat or other pro
ducts.
“Then would come with certainty the
equalization in the value of gold and
silver. When we liad sent $200,000,000
of gold to Europe, and when the London
Bankers' Magazine and other European
financiers should realize that we could
send them monthly the larger part of our
gold product, they would see the value of
gold rapidly decline, and it would fall
away the full fifteen per cent, that in late
years it has gained in value. The Eu
ropean gold market would be certain to
break under the supply we could send
them.”
Old Bill Chandler, of New Hampshire,
may be set down as tetotally irreconcila
ble. One day last week he said to a re
porter of a Washington paper: “You
may say that Hayes is a poor cuss.” He
is reported to have still further re
marked that he was going home to New
Hampshire to eat his Thanksgiving din
ner and give thanks, because there he
could do it under the Governor’s procla
mation, while if hfc remained here he
would have to do it under the Hayes’
proclamation.
Donn Piatt suspects Senator Dawes
of having stolen the remains of Stewart,
for the reason that there is such a bad
odor about Dawes that he could carry off
a corpse in broad daylight without
exciting unpleasant comment.
Bulldozing the South
The New York Herald, with its
usual versatility and shameless dis
regard for consistency, appears to
have vigorously begun a campaign
in behalf of a third term for its
once-dreaded Csesar, General Grant. It
'whacks away in true “stalwart’’ styTeat
sundry more or less fantastical reports of
improper conduct in a few counties of
only three of the Southern States on elec
tion day, and proclaims that the North
is to be “as thoroughly united against
the South as it was during the period of
reconstruction.” Also it anticipates an
outburst “of indignant feeling against
the whole South” for acts reported to
have been done in the aforesaid three lo
calities. “Unfortunately for the Herald,"
remarks the World, “the Supreme Court
has recently adjudged that neither the
United States nor the North have voters
in any Southern States, and it has de
cided that the treatment of false voting
or false counting in any State is a matter
of exclusively State cognizance. Aliunde
Joe and eight of the fifteen insisted
on that. How curses sometimes come
home to roost!”
The Herald does not need to be in
formed tnat both law and precedent are
against Federal interference with the
State authorities in the management of
elections and the punishment of election
frauds. It knows that the local authori
ties of Louisiana and South Carolina have
the same control over such matters as
the authorities of Pennsylvania and New
York—where ballot-box stuffing and
every other species of election frauds
are continually practiced—have over the
elections in these States, and that the Con
stitution and laws forbid Federal interfer
ence in any State. But with an indent
arrogance characteristic of tbe higber
law patriotism and morality of the Radi
cal party, the Herald disregards all consti
tutional restraints that stand in the way of
Radical supremacy. Alluding to the ly
ing and'slanderous reports of Democratic-
outrages in Virginia,to which it gives cre
dence and currency, it says: “If the
facts are truly stated and justice is de
feated and outraged in the courts the in
dignant people of the North will try to
find some other remedy.”
Such threats are as impertinent as the
slanders which the Herald indorses arc
false. While the Herald is seeking for
extra legal remedies for imaginary “out
rages” at the South, it will do well to
turn its attention nearer home. It will
find enough of crime, fraud and violence
near its own doors to engross the efforts
of “the indignant people of the North
leaving the people of the South to the
responsibility of managing their own af
fairs. Under the Constitution and the
laws the people of the South claim the
right and the ability to govern them
selves. If this distresses the Herald we
can only assure it that the evil is one
for which “the indignant people of the
North” will try in vain to find a remedy.

A Singular and Melancholy Acci
dent.—A few days ago it was reported
that Rev. R. E. AVhite, of South
Carolina, had been fatally shot while
riding in his carriage by some
unknown person, and that a negro
named Coleman suspected of being the
assassin had been arrested.. It* now turns
out that Mr. White was really the victim
of a singular accident. A special dis
patch to the Charleston News and Courier
says he was killed by a twelve year old
son of Mr. Spencer Davis, who was
hunting for hawks in the woods near the
road. The rifle used was a Remington,
and the heavy ball missing its aim and
probably glancing downward from con
tact with a twig sped through the forest
to the road, two hundred yards distant
and struck down Mr. "White with in
stantaneous fatal effect. The little fellow
was too much horrified and frightened
when the body was taken to his father’s
house to tell how the killing occurred.
Investigation pointed to him, however,
and having now made a full statement
the negro Coleman, who was arrested,
has been released.
How Acklin was Elected —A
AVashington special to the Baltimore
Hun says: “Additional charges have
reached here as to the assistance given
by Federal officials to Democrats during
the late campaign in Louisiana. It L
charged as susceptible of easy proof that
the Collector of the port of New Orleans
is directly responsible for the election of
Acklin in the Third Congressional dis
trict, where there is a large Republican
majority, and no intimidation was prac
ticed. As Acklin had been repudiated
by the Democratic organization there is
no doubt that he could only have been
elected through Republican aid. Collec
tor Smith has not been heard from per
sonally on the subject, but his friends
say that if he did aid in electing Acklin
it was because that was the best way to
disrupt the Democratic party, Acklin
having promised, it is said, not to go into
the Democratic caucus.” If the stories
about Acklin are true, he is at least mor
ally qualified to “consort” or caucus
with the Radicals.
A Roland for Their Oliver.—When
the Russo-Turkish war was entered upon
last year Great Britain announced her in
tention of not interfering unless “British
interests” were directly assailed, but
the same time reserved her right to ob
ject to whatever readjustment of bounda
ries might result from the war, and ac
cordingly, when the treaty of San Stefa
no was promulgated, Beaconsfield secur
ed its revision at Berlin. Now, in her
turn, Russia is said to announce that she
will not interfere in the Afghan war, al
though satisfied that it must end in a
British victory, but will “claim a voice
in tbe settlement of peace,” affirming
that the Czar will not consent to any rec
tification of the boundaries of Afghanis
tan in regard to which he has not been
consulted. This is* a very neat retort,
but, in a purely Asian question, Russia
cannot expect to be backed up by the
other European powers, as Great Britain
was in demanding the conference of
Berlin.
United States Marshal Wharton, of
Louisiana, has fallen into disfavor with
the Republican leaders, not having been
sufficiently forward in making false
charges of intimidation, etc., against the
Democrats, and not having been suffi
ciently energetic in the obstruction of
Democratic voting at the polls. But will
the Republicans dare remove him? Pro
bably not. He was appointed because
of his intimate knowledge of the return
ing board frauds whereby Louisiana was
counted for Hayes, and his removal
would open his now- tightly closed mouth.

mcrauia touched that port: Miss E. Koenig,
Samuel Brock, Chas. Thomas, W. H.
Pearce. John Mankemis, Edward Pearce.
Edwin Hunt, Thomas Phillips, N. Easter-
brook and Miss Anna Wilson (or Wesel).
Mr. Poppenhausen, a passenger on the
Potnmerania, states that he had gone to
bed and was awakened by a crash. He
thought there had been a collision, and,
half dressed, rushed on deck. He was met
by the doctor, who said, “You had better
put on a life preserver,” which he did with
the doctor’s help. He did not attempt
to save any of his effects, but got
into the boat, which was immediately lower
ed. This was the second boat. It was fol
lowed so closely by a third that they nearly
swamped each other. The Pommerauia
land - i fourteen first class and twenty-six
other passengers at Cherbourg. She was
struck on the starboard side abaft the
funnel, making a large aperture. The
survivors were landed in boats, the
chief officer commanding the last. The
Captain called to him as he put off, and he
laid by ten yards distant for a few minutes,
at the end of which the Pommer&nia went
down. The last boat h&a forty passengers,
and the rescue of floating persons was Im
possible. At daylight the topmast of the
Potnmerania and fore and main yards were
visible, but untenanted.
A quarter of an hour after the collision
Rbe .-Learner sank, the Captain, who had
manfully stuck to the bridge, going down
with her. All accounts accord to Captain
Scbwenzen marked bravery and coolness,
by which absolute discipline was secured,

The passengers clung to him, crying for
help, and while thus beseeching succor the
•hip sank and the waters rolled over them
struggling and drowning.
The Captain of the Moel Eilion Is reticent
and declines to give information. He was
proceeding through the fog at five knots
per hour, and claims to have been sounding
his fog-h<>ni all night, and was so badly
damaged that he feared he would sink.

IMPORTAXT DECISION.
New York, November 26.—In the case of
Colgate against the Western Union Tele
graph Company, that has been a long time
pending in the'United States Circuit Court,
an important decision has been rendered by
Justice Blatchford, involving the right to
use gutta percha coating for telegraph wires.
From the papers in the case it appears that,
in 1367, application was made by one Simp
son, of Cincinnati, for a patent for an inven
tion or discovery claimed to have been made
by him of applying a coating of gutt apercha
to wires, securing perfect insulation.
The application for letters patent was bit
terly opposed before the Patent Office, and
it was not until ISTTthat they were received,
Senator Sumner appearing as counsel for
the inventor at that time. Meanwhile, hav
ing exhausted his means, the inventor was
compelled to dispose of the greater part of
his interest in the invention, and died, leav-
ing his family in impoverished circum
stances. This action was subsequently
brought by the assignee of rights under
letters patent against the defendant, for an
injunction restraining them from using the
invention, and for an accounting. Judge
Blatchford grants the injunction and other
relief asked for by the relators.

CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE BRITISH.
London, November 26.—The Viceroy of
India telegraphs that Dakka was occupied
by the British on the 23d. Chief Lalisuras
came and paid his respects. Supplies are
coming in from all parts. The head men of

UNEASINESS IN DENMARK.
London, November 26.—A Copenhagen
dispatch says : “The statements that the
German legation is withdrawn from Den
mark are untrue. The late German Minister
left here before the arrival of his successor,
but no diplomatic rupture has occurred. It
cannot be denied, however, that the threat
ening attitude assumed by the Prussian
Government against the Duke of Cumber
land, simultaneously with the declaration of
hi6 betrothal to the Princess Thyra, is caus
ing uneasiness.”

New Orleans, November 26.—This mom
ing Judge Whitaker, of the Superior Crimi

trated in the last election. He said that

the court and its officers to assist them in
their labors.

grand jury never had his indictment under
consideration.

A Prayerful Tramp Outwitted bj a
Woman.
A gentleman living on South College
street is having some improvements macle
in front of his residence. A sleek, ofly-
tongued, ministerial-looking man stopped
in front of the house yesterday, seeing
the mistress of the establishment, anc
remarked, dolefully: “Madam, I see God
has prospered you, that He has blessed
you, that He has given you of this
world’s riches, and God be praised for
His kindness in having thus made you
comfortable. I was once so blessed; I
was not as you now see me, but the Lord
will take care of His shepherds, one of
whom I am. I’m, madam, a prayerful
man, and may be found morning, noon
and night addressing the Throne of
Grace,” and as he said this he assumed
an attitude of abject supplication.
“Well, what do you want?” she asked.
“In the providence of God, madam, I
am out of a shirt, and she that giveth to
the least of these—”
The lady had disappeared and reap
xeared with a shirt and gave it to him.
le then remarked: “In God’s harvest
of the righteous you will be garnered
with the best: you will lie given at the
resurrection a seat on the right side and
be one of the brightest jewels in the
crown.”
Disgusted at the man’s evident hypo
crisy, she remarked: “I've got plenty of
shirts, many more than I want. Send
all the other tramps here and I’ll supply
them. Our nephew' died of yellow fever
in one of the infected districts, and as we
can’t use them, and can’t get anybody to
wash them, we have determined to give
them all away to the tramps.”
The pious aspect of the man at once
underwent a change; he dropped the
small paper parcel, and after saying with
emphasis, “D—n the yellow fever shirt!”
went hence.

I the legation of the result.
All About a Rat.—Mr. Sinclair
Tousey appeared at the Tombs Police
Court Tuesday morning as complainant
against Eugene Lilleston, a youth,whom
he charged with torturing a rat. Eugene
had the rat by the tail when accosted by
Mr. Tousey. who, in the name of hu
manity, demanded its release. The
youth in his wicked heart had planned
the death of the rat by drowning, and
was in search a sufficient depth of water
to accomplish his design when interfered
with. Mr. Tousey called officer Ahearn,
of the fourth precinct, to his assistance,
and the boy and the rat were made
>risoners. The latter was securely caged
n a market basket and brought to court
as a witness. The novel character of the
case for a time puzzled the judicial mind
of Judge Murray, who finally dis
charged the boy and sent the rat to the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, leaving it with them to de
cide upon the most humane wav of
putting an end to its existence.—M. Y.
Herald.
A Bell Punch in a Barber Shop—A
Serious Joke.—A colored barber named
Donn Bazy, in Springfield, Ohio, adopt
ed the bell punch in his establishment to
record the work done, each barber ring
ing the punch for every shave, hair cut
or shampoo. Last Saturday, while all
the barbers were absent at dinner, save
Long Wiley, the latter fell asleep. Some
practical jokers, seeing him asleep, and
mowing of the system, slipped in, se
cured the machine, punched about twen
ty-five shaves and quietly retired. Sat
urday evening, when the time came for
settlement, twenty-five shaves were
punched that were not paid for. Suspi
cion at once fastened on Wiley, and as
he could not account for the discrepancy
a quarrel ensued. His fellow barbers
fell upon Wiley and beat him brutally,
so much so that he will die.
The work of extending the Southern
Pacific Road from Fort Yuma to Mari
copa Wells, a distance of one hundred
and fifty-seven miles, was begun at Fort
Yuma last week, and will be pushed for
ward rapidly. It is expected that fifty
miles of the road will be completed by
January, and a rich agricultural section
reached. Early in the spring the line
will have been laid to Maricopa Well
Large quantities of rails, ties, and other
railroad material are arriving daily at
Yuma for the extension. Many of the
Yuma Indians were employed in the
construction of the road across the Cali
fornia desen last year, and were found
to be good workers. Employment is to
be given them in continuing the road
from Yuma eastward.
The Baltimore Sun, apropos of the
allege*l ballot-box stuffiing in South
Carolina, calls the attention of the North
ern press to the fact that this art was in
vented and perfected in the North; that
it was almost wholly unknown to the
South previous to the war, and only
brought here by the carpet-baggers in the
days of reconstruction; that it has
reached its highest perfection in the Re
publican city of Philadelphia, and that
the South has never equalled nor will
ever be able to equal the ballot-box stuf
fing achievements of the plug-uglies of
the city of “Brotherly Love,”

After the election in California, which
will be next year, I will come back to
help the working men of this State, and
also to pay back some old scores. I will
let the men who have opposed me see
that after they have defeated me there is
only one more man to defeat, and he is
the devil. I will drive them into the
northwest corner of hell, when I will pin
them there, to wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
until the Lord God Almighty sets up ilis
throne on earth and calls upon every one
of the miserable cusses to pass in his
checks. They have opposed me be
cause, like Jesus Christ, I went among
the people doing good. When I reach
California I will have a bigger reception
than Columbus did when he landed here,
and when I come back again to this State,
