The apeech of John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, ia spread out at length in Thi colored waiters at White Sulphur Springs, Va., .100 in number, atrnok for higher wages Wednesday, bat some mili tary companies visiting the plaoo cowed them into obedience. Tun St. Louis Republican ssys Missou ri haa ssved from $150,000 to $200,000 per annum, since she prohibited adjourn ed sessions of her Legislature, and limit ed the sessions to one in every two years. “What’s the nse of all thia sacrifice on life, this bloody bntohery of Tnrks and ltussians?" said a Philadelphia Quaker to a Cincinnati hog marohant. “I don't know," replied the latter, mournfully; “pork isn't riz any that I oan see.” CoMtrissioNza Gbzkn B.

When Sitting Bull was told that the United States proposed to send commis sioners to get him to return he ourled his prond lip in dorison and replied, "I'll the United States go to iUnlera before I'll make peace with a President who don't oarry avon a itask of gin in his side breeohea pocket. Snn.tos McDonald, of Indiana, has expressed to a reporter of the Gbioago Time* the opinion that the railroads have outgrown the narrow limits of the State anthorfty wbioh oreated them, and that the National Government will have to proteot thorn precisely as it proteots com merce on lakes and rivers. Or oonrae Postmaster General Key was aware that the Battle of Bennington was not fonght at Ohattanooga by Con federate and Federal soldiers daring the late unpleasantness, but there was nothing ill his apologetio speeeh to show that his mind mastored the faot. General Souenok, in declaring that ho ia out of politics, took oooasion to say: “I think thormillennium will come when politics osn lie ruu without money, and when eleottons can be held without tick ets, and voters will oome to the polls with out being brought. Then the maohine politicians will not be needed." A Wasiiinoton spooial to the Oinoiu- nati Enquirer says there ia mnoh feeling in Washington among Southern men oon- oerning Judge Key's four-lins speech at Benniugton, whorein he alludes lo the erring Southern brethren. The universal oommeut is that it was uuoatled for, in bad taste, and not at all osloulsted to obliterate aeotiunal feeling. Ex-Senator Simon Oamebon has been interviewed on the politiosl situation. He •ays it is not the Pennsylvania politicians so mnoh as the masses of tho ltepnblioan party who ore displeased with Hayes. He thinks Sluuley Matthews an overrated niau, nud holds that gentleman largely responsible for the Southern poliay. If the Democrats oarry Ohio, be thinks they will oarry Pennsylvania. —' ♦ ^ —• Thomas Garltlx recently described or suggested the very state of things of wbioh we have seen so weird and startling a glimpse. Ho Bsid: “Wail a little, till the entire nation ia in an electric aisle; till your vital electricity, no longer health fully neutral, is cut in two isolated por tions of positive and negative (of money and of hanger), and atauds there bottled np in two world-batteries. The stirring of a obild's linger brings the two together, and then—What then?" Tux Turks have a German at the head of the central army, an Englishman in oommand of the Black sea fleet, two Prussians drominent among the engineers, an Egyptian takiug the lead in the artil- lery department, and another English man handling the cavalry. The linsaians hare live or six German generals, a Pol ish obief of staff, two Americans in oom- msnd in Asia, aud a variety of other for eigners scattered through their service. There is a rage jnst now for now par ties. In Ohio there is a “Workingmen's" party, a Greenback party, a Temperance party, and an anti-Hayes Republican party, to say nothing of the regular lto- publican aud Democratic organizations. All are to have full State tickets. In New York the confusion ihreslens tube equally great. Iu !he oily of New York a pbwer- fnl combination is forming against Tam many, while the Independents, or unlim ited Greonbaokers, are preparing to take the field in tho State. The Workingmen are stirring also, and the Temperenoe men are bb eager as ever for their annnal defeat. Hon. Wm M. Evarts haa eleven pretty daughters, and in reference thereto an unreliable correspondent says: When Mr. Evats travels with hia family he charters a oar. But he don’t like lo go to a sleep ing-car agent and say “Give me twelve lower berths aud one npper,’’ because the agent always looks at him and aska if it ia a theatrical troupe, and if they have ar- ranged for special rates. So he oharters a sleeper and says nothing more about it. Of oourae, when Mr. Evarta presents that pass for the Hon. Wm. Evarte and fam ily, there is a ripple of exoitemenl, bnt he has learned to bear thia with equanim ity, and frown dowu any giggling that may appear impending ou the part of the contractor.” proonra money to finish its session. If the Treasurer oannot pay its drafts the body oan certainty direot the Legislature an inferior assemblage, to make the ne cessary appropriation. It can do this just as it has required the Legislature to perform many other things. Arrange ments have already been perfected to borrow the money. With many lawyers with whom we have oonversed, it wonld seem that the Attorney General bad not raised himself by bis late opinion whiob ia regarded by not a few as not very timely. It is said, though, the exact question waa sprang in the New York Constitution al Convention whioh assembled in Albany in 1807, and was decided by their Attor ney General in the same way that oars did. The Oonvention went on as nsnal, and tba Legislators at its next session made the required appropriation. The Oonvention was oailed by the peo ple of Georgia beoanse many ohanges in the Oonatitntion are imperatively demand ed. Now if the Convention should submit its work to the people and adjourn nine die, tbeir labors may be in vain, ltailroad corporations and others who may deem their rights assailed may defeat the new Oonatitntion by moans of the floating pur chasable vote. Tbe ballot was never so cheap ia Georgia as at present. To remedy this apprehended evil, Jet the Oonvention not adjourn tine die, but to meet again during the year 1878 on a day to be named by tbe President, and if it should be found that oertain features do not snit, the body at the assembling could strike out tbe objectionable portions. The instrument thus amended oould be submitted to tbe people at tbe next regu lar election for members of tho General Assembly. In this mode the people will seonre jnst such modifications as they de sire. As far as tbe Convention has gone, wo think that with some few exceptions, a good Constitution bus been given us, one whioh evinces considerable improvement over tho present one. Tub Homestead Fixed.—This vexed question whioh promised to be a bone of oonlention in tbe Convention has at laBt been settled. Tbe report adopted makes the Homestead $1,800, with tbe right to waive $1,100. Bo $500 is inalienable. Thia looks fair and jnst. Attempts to reconsider will be made to-day, bnt it is thought, without suooeas. Bankers Annual Convention.—Of tbe 0,152 banks in this oonntry, 2,082 are na tional, 875 are Biale, end 2,52-t areprirato banks, wbilo 071 are savings institutions. "At oritioal times like these,” remarks the Financial Chronicle, “no smell amount of financial aud monetary pertur bation has ooonrred from the oircumstanoe that these four olaasee of banks have been too muoh separated from each other by prejndioe, rivalry, aud other caueos, and it ia only within a recent period that tho desiro for and the absolute necessity of a moro compact union have been developed. One of tbe results aimed at in previous oonventions has aooordiugly been io fos ter the union of oar hanks among them selves, so as to harmonize tho various elements of wbioh our banking system oonaists. Another ohjeot of suoh oon ventions is to collect together the best thoughts and suggestions of onr financial thinkers and onr most experienced bank oflloers in all parts of the coun try, and to print these sugges tions for circulation among the members of Congress and other men of influence, in the hope of aiding in the soiuition of some of the great problems of the flnan oial situation. The past reports of the Assooiatin, valuable though they are, have aoaroely oome up to the pnblio ox peotatiou. It is hoped that as the neces sities of the country are now in many re - speols more urgent than they have ever boon before, tbe ABsooiation will be able to suggost some wise aud conservative measnros for Congroaaional legislation. With regard to the war taxes on'bank deposits and on bank capital, their evil effoots have been so frequently shown, and the depletion of bank capital has been so notorious from suoh oansss, both in thiR city and oisewhere, that we presume Congress and tbe pnblio will listen readily to any wise and temperate suggestions npon these important matters whioh the banks may have to offer.” OiEOBUIA NEW*. Judok West, ltepnblioan nominee for Governor of Ohio, made tho opening speecli of tho campaign at Beilefontaine the other day. Declaring the lubor ques tion lo be the paramount issue before tbe country, he reviewed the subjeot at length, and proposed as a remedy for ex isting differences between employers and employod, “tbe adoption and application in our great industrial enterprises of a graduated scale of compensation, condi tioned on net earnings." This, he thinks, would not necessarily iuvest labor with any proprietary interest or property right in the capital employed any more than would a compensation fixed by any other method. He is not iu favor of the en forcement of this schema by legislation, bnt suggests : “Let Ibe capitalists pre scribe a minimum rale of compensation, and in addition thereto, assume to dis tribute among bis laborers at the end of stated periods an agreed or apeoified per centage of his net earniugs for the same time," eto. Thia plan, Jndge West, as. Berts, haa been adopted with suooeas in Europe and some parts of the United Btatos, inoinding his own Blate. A proposition, said to have oome from Journal. Coming from the flusuoial minister of tbe present Administration it will attract general attention. Half of it is devoted to a defense of tbe President's action in regard io South Carolina and Louisiana, and to hia oivil-sorvice reform. He oonld not refrain from letting his old Itadical friends know that if ho “bad been President instead of General Grant he wonld have recognized Packard and sus tained him with the fall power of the General Government." No donbt of tbe truth of thia declaration, and a very beau tiful mess ho would have made of it. Forinnately John Sherman is not Presi dent. It was on tbe enrrenoy question that the people were solicitous to hear bis views. It ia nome relief to be informed that be only spoke for himself, as a citi zen of Ohio, to bis old friendB and neigh bors. Tbe members of the recent Kepnbli- oan Convention at Cleveland totally ig nored the resumption aot, beoanse they oonld not agree among themselves, end so befogged the silver question that it is beyond the comprehension of ordinary minds. And dow comes John Bberman, who was expeoted to shed a flood of light on the old silver dollar, bnt not a word does he say in regard to its demonetiza tion by the act of 1873. Althongh ho talks about the redemption of greenbacks with gold and silver on tbe 1st day of Jannry, 1873, he knows fall well that under tbe present ,law the coinage of sil ver dollars has boon stopped, end that silver is a legal tender only in tbo pay ment of debts not recoiling beyond tbo snm of five dollars. Takiog John Hher- man and tbe Cleveland oonvention to gether on this snbjeot, they remind ns of tbe Irishmso who was palling tho boards off his oellar door in the spring of tbe year. On being asked what he was doing the Irishman replied: “I am letting the darkness ont." On the resumption act Sherman is clear enough to be understood. He says it “oan be,ought to be, and will be executed, if not repealed." This language ia differ ent from that whioh he used in engineer ing the bill through tho Bonate. All that oould then be got ont of him was that it tended in the direction of specie payments. He said that several Congresses would meet in the meantime, and oonld provide tbe machinery necessary for resumption purposss. Congress has taken no such steps and not only wild bnt wicked tunst be the Secretary, in tbe present condition of the oonntry, who shall attempt to force speoio payments with the inadequate means at bis oommand. It is qnite prob able that he may be able to alarm I ho national banks, aud foroe them lo return tbe notes that have been furnished them by tbe Government end withdraw thoir bonds, leaving only greenbacks to be redeemed with gold, and in this way be might force resumption. As to the payment of gold, on demand for seven hundred millions of paper, that ia simply impossible. It oan't be done, and the sooner tbe new Secretary of tbe Treasury finds ont this important faot, and tarns his fsoe kindly to the people »nd away from tbe bond holder, the sooner he will realize tbo true sitnation, and tbe sooner be will build up a name that will be respeoted by his oountrymen. The issue of greenbacks io lieu of gray- baoks is declared to be unconstitutional by Mr. Bberman. It wonld require very sharp logio lo show that this Government has tbe constitutional right to supply banks with the one and not with tbe other. Bnt this is a question that others may discuss at their leisnre. Tbe Secretary gives some faots, and from them draws the oonolnsion “that tbero is ho want of onrrenoy when de manded for the requirements of business." This is not the experieuoe of business men in this latitude. The money, to be snro, may be in tbe banks, bnt business men find it diffionit, on any securities they are able to offer, to draw it out. As to new enterprises, what reaponaible man would borrow money with the uncertainty of tbe fulnre ataring him in the face ? Prices are still going down, and there ia no telling wbat depth they may reaoh. Let Mr. Sherman's programme be carried ont, and the reanlt will be general bank ruptcy. Give him tbe power be seems to desire of converting greenbaoks into bondB, and the poor debtor, like the coon when Captain Soolt oooked hia gun npon him, might an well oome down at onae, for ho will have to do it sooner or later. The Seoretery states as a matter of boast that the pnblio debt bae been re- ducod since the first day of March last $23,441,824. Where did all this money oome from ? Straight ont of the pookets of tho people, either in the shape of di reot taxes or duties on imports. Wby not reduce these taxes and thereby lessen tbe harden now oppressing the people ? Leave the publio debt for more prosper ous days. The bondholder is receiving his gold interest regularly, aud with that he ahonld lie satisfied. Onr only bops for the relief of pnblio distress lies in the action of Congress. It is evident that the Secretaryaywpaties are in another direotion. Nothing short of a repeal of the resumption aot, a re monetization of the silver dollar, a reduc tion of internal taxes and an ersential modification of tbe tariff will satisfy tbe demand of an oppressed people. On tbe whole, John Sherman’s speeoh is a failure. It was lonldy heralded, bnt it comes to nothing. It is the gabble of a loose-jointed, nnacrnpnloua demagogue, who has made a profit out of the pnblio, aervioo, and ia increasing his riohes as Secretary of the Treasury. Tho Sher mans are essentially a dishonest family, but of all the rognea bearing the name, this John Sherman is the biggest.—Cour ier-Journal. Mow to autrt n Notional Bank. The New York Mail gives tho subjoined account of how National Banka were started: It eaya that an association of S entiouieu in an Eaatern State raised 300,000 in onrrenoy. They went to tbe offloe of the Register of the Treasury and exchanged their onrreuoy for three hun dred thousand dollars in aix per oent. gold bearing bonds. They then weut to tbe office of the Comptroller of the Car reucy in the seme buildibg, or gsnized a National Bank, deposited tbeir $300,000 in bonda and received for tbeir bank $270,000 in National Bank cur rency. They had let the Government have $30,000 in ourreuoy more than they received for banking purposes, and had on deposit $300,000, on whioh they re ceived as interest from the Government $18,000 a year in gold (and exempt from taxation). Thia wat pretty good financier ing for these banka to reoeive $18,000 a year in gold on tbe $30,000 in our- renoy, wbioh they had juat loaned to the ! Goverment. But thia ia not the whole 1 i story.
