AND MOKE THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION! A decent war telegram ooat the London News over $1,200 for transmission. The late Wm. B. Ogden left hie cxecn- torfl $15,000 a year to manage hie estate. A Correrpondent of the Now York Sun, signing himself A. II. 8., insists that the works of Darwin, Tyndall and llnxley be Abmitted as text books in the publio schools. Toe bankers think resumption impos sible on the present line, and reoommend a ne'w, and if anything a worse one. Hher- man is obstinate, and insists that he can roaume and will. We shall see. Tiif. Danville Express learns that Colo nel 8. Samuel and ltep. Barnes sold their large estate in Charlotte county, Va. (Barnesvillo), comprising between 7,000 and 8000 acres, to a Philadephia (Catholic) colony. The sum realized from this sale is $71,000. Ben Hill says one of the two candi- dates for tho President in 1880 will hail from thp South. Ho hopes tho South with its 188 votes, will not allow the North to dictate in convention platform and name candidates. Ho romnrkH, in cidentally, that ho has no Presidential as* pirations. Capt. Avis, who recently killed a man at Orkney Springs, Virginia, was not tho hangman of John Brown, but ho was Brown's jniler, and is said to have been so humane in his conduct that Brown, prior to going to the gallows, presented to him a favorite rifle as a recognition of kindly sorvioe. The bankers aro willing to restore the silver measure if Congress will mnko it as long as tho gold moasure, but tho poople are unwilling to continue tho gold moan- nro unloss it is made as short as tho sil vor. That is tho difforonoo, and the host of it is that nil tho right, and all tho might, too, aro on tho side of tho people. And now it is said that Mr. Jay Gonld, having effectod a consolidation of two tel egraph companies, proposes to dfsrnpt he ^combination. This forooR tho World to likon Mr. G. to Bparrowgrass’ dog, a canine that, after howling half tho night to got out of tho house, when ho was finally lot out howlod the other half of tho night to get in again. 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 hit mado by ono of thoir brethren in Eng land. Not many months ago, it appears, a foreign miuister in London invoked tho aid of one of the smartest Scotland .Yard Detectives to find a young girl who had inherited a fortuuo of a quarter of a mil lion. At tho end of six weeks the detec tive returnod and gavo in his resignation “Well,” said tho ohief, “that’s all right; but where is tho girl?” “Oh, I found hor a month ago in n drossmakor’s shop.’ “Well?” “Well, I married her yesterday, and began drawing on her quarter million to-day, that’s all.” Mr. Goldwin Smith contributes to tho Contemjyorary Jleviar au article on the ♦‘Labor War in tho United States,” which ho comes to the conclusion that tho time hns arrived “for committing to the National Government tho guardianship and control of tho railways, canals and 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 sword of a Field Marshal. Judge Taft delivered his first speech in the Ohio campaign at Sandusky on Thursday oveniug, conftuiug himself to the discussion of questions boaring ou tho financial policy of the government. Iu discussing the silver question he de clares the objections urged against tho silver dollar are, in the main, groundless. Tho objection of Mr. David Wells, that Bilver is too heavy and bulky to be car ried conveniently in tho pocket, he meets by expressing tho opiuion that our busi ness transactions will be carried on in some form of paper circulation. He thinks no system of banking could be more absolutely securo than our present oue, and is sure that tho Republican par ty will uover consent to authorize auy bankiug to be douo with paper less 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. KUMK1A GETTING A BEATING. The white bear of tbe North seems in a fair way to get the boating bo so well and richly deserves. Ho ooramenood war against the protest of all enlightened Eu rope. He began nominally to protoot the Christians, who did not ask for his pro tection, and really enjoy more liberty under Turkish than Russian rulers. The object is really for territorial aggrandize ment,and the Russians are being welcomed with bloody bands to hospitable graves. Wo have soon them burled back in Asia, which thoy aro again approaohing with fear and trembling. Tbe Czar crossed the Danube in all the pomp and glory of a holiday march Ho has Riuoo fouud some rough obstacles in bis pathway, lie has lost thousands of mon whilo batting against Turkish earth works.

From present appearances, tbe Czar is liko a crab—-he goos backward. Tho Turks have bettor arms, aro fully as bravo and intelligent ns his brntish peasants, and ho hns boon both out gonoraled and out fought. Tho use he hns made of tho Christians is to destroy their homes op- poBo thoir country to tho onemy and force their men into his army. Tho Turks are making him sorry he was so ambitious, lie inaugurated strifo against tho wish of every power of Europe, and we trust the Turks will be ablo to hurl him back over the Danube. WHAT MADE UOWA1II) MAH. 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 man could at once appoint Gen. Crook or Gen. Terry to lead the forces, and Howard would havo to step asido. After this warning the dangerona Howard will keep his map in hiH pocket. injured innocence. 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. Mr. A press telegram from Washington to the Nashville Banner, of Friday, says : Senator Bon Hill hna been getting him self into hot water by indiscriminately signing tho papers of applicants for the Goorgia Marshalship. There aro upward of sixty npplioations for the place. Out of these porhaps a dozen have Mr. Hill's in dorsement saying that he is of the opin ion that the applicant will make a good Marshal. None of those applications con tain a direct recommendation, but the Senator has just Rent a letter to the Attor ney General, asking that all his recom mendations bo withdrawn, as ho has found ont that in his indiscriminate sign* ing of papers he has put his name to those of some men who are wanting not only in qualities necossary to the proper . 1,187,Of 0,00) 121,000,000 49,000,000 1,328,780,700 253,000,000 42,700,000 8,000,000 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.
