The Now York Commercial Advertiser
says Senator Conkling is the only roan
who can secure an indorsement of the ad
ministration from the New York ltopnbli-
can Convention, and is the only man who
can prevent a resolution being adopted
calling on tho President to invito some of
his Cabinet to resign. In other words,
the Advertiser means to say that the Con
vention will represent tho Republican
party and Senator Conkling, rather thnn
tho Republican party and Mr. Evarts.
A New York policoman was sevoroly
beaten one day last week by a colored
woman of umazonian proportions whom
ho had attempted to arrost. A man who
came to his resoue was thrown by her
ovor a cart. After this display of mus
cular strength soveral oolorod men wont
to hor rescue, and the officer was drivon
off with his own club. Returning with
six policomen, tho officor entered the
house where his antagonist and her
friends were colebrating his defeat, and
closing tho door they beat the members
of tho assemblngo until they were satis
fied that they had taken sufficient re-
vonge.
Our American detootivos will probably
go out in a body and hang themselves for
puro spite when they hear of the grand

“Well,” said tho ohief, “that’s all right;
but where is tho girl?” “Oh, I found hor

“Well?” “Well, I married her yesterday,
and began drawing on her quarter million
to-day, that’s all.”
Mr. Goldwin Smith contributes to tho

telegraphs, as well as of tho postal servico
of the nation, and thinks tho Federal army
ought to be increased “beoauso tho people
from whom tho danger of disorder arises
are not Republicans; they aro not tho off
spring of republican institutions trained
to render free homage to the law”—where
fore, in the opinion of Mr. Goldwin Smith,
they ought to “be placed under provisional
restraint till they can bo fully trained to
Belf-goverument.” This is curiously like
the theory of educating Franco to be a
republic by keeping hor quiet uuder tho

OtIR COMING ELECTION*.
Early in Deoemborwe must elect a Sen**
ator from this District and two Represent
tatives in this oounty in the Legislature’
It seems to be the genera!impression that
the present Senator and Representatives
will be candidates for re«eleotion. There
will be other very able gentlemen. The
general sontiment of the entire poople is
against nominations. If any such thing
is attempted there will be bolting without
end, and tho nominees the worst
defeated men in all the section. The
general desire in Oolmnbns is to
let down the bars and give the nags an
open field. In regard to the Senatorsbip,
it is now tbooght that Mnscogee, Cbatta-
hooohe and Marion, eaoh, will present
one or more candidates who desire to
serve the dear people at font dollars a
day and ten cents mileage. At Milledge-
ville fonr dollars a day do not constitute
bad pay, and gentlemen seem very anx
ious to bo able to secure a position in
whioh to draw it.
For Representatives the talk is of a
dozen or more gentlemen whose dearest
affections are with the ballot stingers.
When the time comes we shall be very
prompt to advooate the claims of
those we think will best repre
sent the people. We want no more nom
inations, nor district conventions. We
desire that each candidate shall rnn his
own race before the people without the
aid of party machinery and influence.
Wo desire those to represent us who will
represent the oonnty and Georgia. Mas*
cogeo, the ohief manufacturing county in
tho State shonld have able advocates, who
havo the confidence of their constituents,
men who are posted, who can take their
sharo in debate and acquit themselves
with honor, and when they have nothing
to say will not volunteer information of
whioh they know nothing. We'wish to
see one more race squarely before the
pooplo without tho intervention of nomi
nations, and wo believe wo have tested
tho temper of our citizens sufficiently to
know that thoy will submit to no dictation
and if thero bo a nomination by a faction
they will pay no regnrd thereto. Let us
have a freo raoo. No paoked delegations
by trickery and woodworking. The vo
ters will not stand it. Run your race
fairly before the country or be prepared
to stay at homo. Anti-nominations and
running on one’s own morit is the demand
of tho very groat majority.
Another consideration enters into the
connt. Gontlomon must array themselves
for or against tho now Constitution.
There is no question about its adoption,
but tho men olootod to carry thorn ont
must bo nndorstood as clearly and un
equivocally supporting its provisions.
Mon who opposed calling a convention
now want office under the Constitution.
Do thoy support the instrument ? It is
an important issue in the campaign, and
gentlemen must prepare to make thoir
showing.
Wo must confess a dosire to seo a re
turn of the ancient and well nigh forgot
ten stump speaking days.

SHERMAN 8UGOEHTS TUAT nE GIVE WAY TO A
YOUNGER OFFICER.
Washington, September 12.—It has
leaked out to-day through tho War De
partment that the dispatch by Gen. Shor-
mau to Gen. Howard, at Helena, was
short niul spicy. It is impossible to obtain
the full telegram, but the purport is
vouched for as follows : “Push them to
the wall aud clean them ont. If you cau’t
do it, turn tho command over to Home
younger officer.” It wan in answer to this
that Gonoral Howard made reply about
being misunderstood; that ho uevor Hug
ged; that neither Sherman nqr McDowell
could doubt hiH pluck, energy, Ac. The
army men boro say that many things are
excused iu tolegraphic correspondence
which would not bo permitted by lotter;
for instance, this curt rejoinder of Howard
to hiH superior officer would not have boon
allowed under other circumstances. Dur
ing his bunt ovor the plains for a place of
safety, Howard has several times gone
out of his department. So long ns he
remains inside the lines ho can hold his
official head on his shoulders, for the sig
nature of the President is required to tho
appointment of a department commander.
Sherman cannot move one. In case, how*
ever, Howard got outside the limits,Sher

or Gen. Terry to lead the forces, and
Howard would havo to step asido. After

WHAT THE EX-USURPER HAS TO SAY OF THE
thief’s CONFEHHION.
Hpeclal Dispatch to Journal or Uommeroc.]
New York, Sept. 13—Ex-Gov. Cham
berlain, of South Carolina, was visited at
his office No 34C Broadway yesterday, by
a reporter, who asked him if he had any
Htatement to make in reply to the cbnrgos
made against him by Niles G. Parker, ox-
Treasurer of the State of South Carolina,
of complicity in a ring to rob tbe State.
Mr. Chamberlain said that he had caro-
fully read Parker’s statement and so called
confession, and emphatically denied all
the charges therein contained. Ho was
ready and willing at all times to answer
to the proper authorities for his acts while
in Booth Carolina. He then made the
following statement, which he said was all
he was willing to say at present:
Niles G. Parker during my term of
office as Governor was stied by the State
of Booth Carolina to recover a large
amonnt of oonpons whioh be was charged
with stealing and afterwards converting
into State bonds. In this suit he was
arrested and held to bail, whioh he was
unable to give.
The case was tried in Jane, 1875, and a
verdict rendered against Parker for
$75,000. He was finally released from
jail on habeas corpus, and instantly fled
from the State, and has never returned.
Sinoe that time he has diligently sought
to implicate me, in order to obtain money
and immunity for himself. His agents
and attorneys have visited Columbia re
peatedly on this errand, and through one
of them Parker now actually con
fesses that he sold certain papers
bo nsed against me politically
for $40,000. I know also that
his wares wore off ered to those Republi
cans who were hostile to mo for my course
as Governor. They wero likewise offered
to the Democratic Committee last fall,and
I am glad to say they found no market
there. I have also the best reasons for
stating that he has over and over offered
his testimony against me to tbe officers of
the present administration in South Caro
lina, and I can only conclude that they
found it as unworthy as did others.
Having failod to realize further upon
his stock of scandal, and being himself
now nnder new indiotments at Columbia,
he Gomes forward in a fresh effort to palm
off his budget upon the general public.
Now I, for one, do not feel called upon to
notice Parker or his statements further
than to give the foregoing foots, and to
prononnoe his ohargeH against me malic
iously false. None of them aro, in fact,
new, oxoopt the charge that he bribed
mo with $2,000 to do something which
was so base that even ho could not name
With this exception thoy havo all been
ropeatodly published in South Carolina for
political effect in the last four years. If
anybody demands of me that I should do
more now than deny such charges put
forward by such a man as Parker con
fesses himself to be, he will not be grati-
tied by me. I am amenable to the laws
of South Carolina at all times for my acts,
and whenever the officers of tho law in
that State wish to oall me to an account,
I shall respond, and meet my acts; and
whenever the officers of the law in that
State wish to oall me to account I shall
respond and meet my accusers. In the
meantime I shall trust to the evidence I
have given to the oonntry, that I have
been a friend of good government and the
foe of dishonest mon of all parties iu
South Carolina. Evidences whioh Igbh
than one year ago men of all classes and
parties in that State aooepted as conclu
sive to proteot my character with those
whose good opinion is valuable.
MAYEN AND MORTON.
AN AFFECTING SCENE BETWEEN TnE PRESI
DENT AND SENATOR AT THE LATTER’S BED
SIDE.
Special Dir patch to the Times.]
Cincinnati, September 13 —The inter
view at Richmond to-day betweon Presi
dent Hayes and Senator Morton was very
affeoting. When the President and party
arrived sovoral of the Senator’s immediate
household wero in his room, conversing and
reading to him. After a short intorval
the President alone was admitted to the
siok room. Upon bis entering Mrs. Mod
ton and Governor Burbank retired, leav
ing the two to couverso in tho presence
of Dr. Thompson alone. Tho President
became at onoo deeply affected, aud ad
vanoing to the bedside took the Senator’s
hand in his and addressing him in nffeo
tionnto terms stooped over and kissed
him ou tho forehead. Mr. Morton ail
dressed the President by name and spoke
his gratification at seeing him thore. The
President replied that not only had he
boen very anxious for the Senator’s wel
faro during his illness, but he had found
the feeling general throughout tho coun
try. Governor Morton said he had indeed
been near death’s door, but ho uow felt
better, and believed that he was on the
way to recovery. “I now expect,” said
he, “to take my seat in Congross in
December next, and to warmly and earn
estly support yonr administration.” The
President seemed deeply affected by this,
Mr. Morton continued speaking iu a hope
ful strain, referring to the condition of
the country at large. To the President’s
account of the eordial greetings he hnd
received in his recent travels in New Eug-
lntul and the evidences of returning pros
perity that he had seen, he listened with
evident interest. The Senator grow so
interested in the conversation and showed
suoh signs of growing excitement that
Dr. Thompson aRked that the interview
be brought to a close. “Yes,” replied the
President, “it is better that I should go,
and goat once,” and taking the Senator’s
hand he again kissed him and bowed
himself out of the room. The interview
lasted about fifteen minutes, and Dr.
Thompson, from whom the above nocount
is gathered, says it was extremely sympa
thetic and cordial. The President re
marked subsequently that he had not ex
pected to find tbe Senator looking so well.
“I feel,” said he, “as thongh ho will cer
tainly recover and take his place in tho
Senato.” After the departure of tho Pres*’-
dent's party Senator Morton fell into a
quiet sleep, and it iR believed that ho will
experience no ill effeots from tho inter
view.

A GOLD AND SILVER STANDARD.
Hon. W. S. Groesbeck, of Cincinnati,
made a speech before the American Bank
ers’ Convention which has produoed a
very strong impression on the public
mind in favor of the remonetization of
silver. Ho shows conclusively in the
following extract from his speech that
the relative gain in the product of the
precious metals has boen largely in favor
of gold, and that, of coarse, the relative
doorcase in the value of silver is trace
able alone to the effort to throw it out of
nse as money.
What of the alleged excessive produc
tion of silver ?
The total production of the precious
metals for the world and for tbe United
States is as follows :
World’s production of gold from 1862
to 1876, inclusive $2,913,000,000
World’s production of silver from 1852
ta 1876, inclusive
Yearly average of gold, say...
“ “ of silver, say
United States production from 1846
to 1875, incluHivo of gold
United Staten production from 1846
to 187\ incluHiue of silver
Yeurly uvorage of gold, Bay...**
" “ of ailver, flay
I would not be misunderstood. I make
no war upon gold. All favor it. I am
pleading for silver also. The statistics
here given are of high authority, and, I
believe, they are sufficiently reliable. It
will be observed that I have now brought
this particular inquiry up to the year
1878. What does the century thus far
disclose as to the relative production of
the two metals? At tbe beginning and
during the earlier part of it they were
produoed in the production of three of
silver to one of gold. This made no dis
turbance. At the middle of the century,
say in 1848, the proportion had been re
versed, and the production was 1. of gold
to 06-100 of silver, nearly four times as
gold to 68-100 of silver, nearly four times
as much gold to 66-100 of silver; from
1852 to 1856 it was 1. of gold to 27-100
of silver, nearly four times as much
gold as silver; from 1852 to 1875 it was
of gold to 68-100 of Bilver, the
same as in 1848. In the langnage of the
British Oommission, “the conclusion
seems justified that a review of the rela
tion of the prioe of silver is not due to
any excessive production as oompared
with gold.
The yield of gold as late as 1875 was at
least twenty per cent, more than that of
silver. How it was in 1876 we are not
sufficiently informed, but it was probably
greater, and so it may be in the present
year and for a few years to come. But it
is declining, and may at last become in-
significant. On the other hand, that of
silver has been increasing. It may have
reaohed its maximum; it may go still
higher; it may ere long decline. We ‘can
not tell. This we know. Its production
in all other places than Nevada is not in
creasing, but rather decreasing, and the
famous mines of Nevada are but pockets
that may soon be emptied. There have
been wild stories of the excessive produc
tion of silver, and still wilder ones of its
probable future production. The faotB
before us, and surely wo are not yet
oallod upon to abandon it, and are too
wiso to do so upon an uncertainty; surely
we will not consent to be frightened ont
of a policy or into a poliey by a mere ap
prehension. There is a preoedent for us,
just here, full of counsel and encourage
ment.
In 1852, the great outpouring of gold
from Russia, California and Australia
began. It came in a flood. Asia was
upon silver and therefore could not re<
coive it, and there seemed to be no recepi
taoles sufficient to contain it. Almost
the entire world was upon the single
standard of silver. England with her
colonies of Canada and Australia, and
Turkey, Persia and Brazil, were at that
time tho only places upon the single
standard of gold, and Turkey, Persia and
Brazil bat nominally. Even Portugal
was yet upon silver, and the demand for
either metal was smaller than now. The
flood continued without intermission, and
in such volume that it ponred upon the
world nearly nine hundred millions of
gold in the short space of six years. In
comparison with it the present flow of
silver is but a rivulet. There was great
alarm, for this outpouring was nnprece
dented and unexpected. Then, for the
first time, demonetization was recom
mended.
' History gives no previous instance of
such a recommendation. It was now
urged, aud a few timid nations fled to
that refuge. Others were wiser and
braver, conspicuously France, with her
bi-metnlio system. She emptied her
great reservoirs of silver, and filled them
with gold; tho flood subsided, and what
came as a danger soon came as a blessing.
What would huve happened if gold, under
the promptings of blind panio, had been
abandoned, it is difficult to conjecture,
As it was, it went down, we are told, os
low as five per cent., below silver, but
formerly, it was tied to silver then very
bouyant, and sooould not sink. Gradu
ally and rooo enough it rose, and the met
als again floated together, quietly and
evenly. It would be most interesting if
I could pause and put before you even
a faint picture of the magnificent con
sequences of that great accession of
ooin.
If our publio debt oan be legally and
honorably paid in silver as well as gold,
wo should put ourselves in such positions
as that we may, in onr discretion, pay it
in silver or gold. If onr paper currency
may be redeemed in silver or gold, and it
is our purpose to redeem it, and we can
do so more easily in both metals than in
either ono, we shonld nse both. If onr
poople can, without violating their eon
tracts, be in any considerable degree re
lieved form the heavy indebtedness now
resting upon them, by using both silver
aud gold, let them at onoe have the privi
lego. Can we, legally and honorably
pay our publio debt in silver as well as
gold ?
It is not wise or just to make changes
in the laws of legal tender, unless they
become absolutely nooessary; and the best
and fairest polioy is that which preserves
for the maturity of the oontraot the same
tender that was in force when it was en
tered into. When that is the case neither
party can bo wronged, and both mnst be
satisfied. This brings ns to the question
in hand, suppose silver to be remonetiz-
