They denounce each laws as relies of barbarism, and as being in antagonism to the spirit of pro gress that made the colored people citi zens and voters.

This is a practical confession of blunder in adopting the monometaliobasil which cannot be ooncealed or escape obser vation. The fact is, the whole mono-me- talio world feels it, and might as well confess it. Monometalism is probably, in part, like a good many other false ideas in pol itics and economy a *‘result of the war.” Dating that unhappy controversy this country was practically almost struck ont ot existence as a commercial nation, and her business went to Bwell those of tho great European nations at peace.

For that reason silver was kicked ont of his company. Silver is too vulgar to keep company with Mr. Ducat.

The passage of the army bill through tbe House on Wednesday last, was at tended by aome very interesting Inei dents whioh the Washington correspond ent of the World thna describes: The consideration of the measure pro- xeaehed. That provides" tiiai no money shall be used to pay the troops while go ing to or at the polls for the pnrpose of keeping the pesos. In the mean time General Johnston had done a graceful act in moving to strike out of the bill the s&olion foibidding promotions in the army above the rank of eaptain. When the sixth section was xeaohed General Gar field made his surrender speech. It was a curious soene. The Republican leader attempted the role of a conqueror announcing his triumph. With head thrown back and with his loudest voice he proclaimed that the Republican party was never in favor of nsing the army as a mere police force to keep the peaoe at the polls. As he atrided the aisle he worked himself into a fever of assumed enthasiasm, shooting to the Democrats that they had attemp ted to wipe jaBt laws from tho etatate book, bat had ran against tbe rock of a constitutional veto, and their vessel had gone down, and now no bubbles rose to mark the spot where it hod been. His glow and fervor were not proof against the laughter and derisive ap plause of the Democrats, nor the protests of his stalwart Republioan colleagues who were honest enough to admit that their party had stampeded and indignant enough to rebel against their leaders. Garfield labored hard to show that to vote against the section would be in effect to vote in favor of the nse of troops at the polls to keep the peace, and, said he, forgetting his own record, ‘‘no sane man is in favor of that.” Again the Democrats laughed and applauded vigor ously. They had the Republioan leader on tho hip, taking back all he had said on " * Army bills and with hie followers th >t ughly demoralized. He insisted that the Federal Govern ment should have the power to enforce its laws at any time and at any place, whether an eleetion was in progress or not, forgetting or never knowing the fact so plainly pointed out id Mr. Knotl’a re port to-day that under the law as it stands the Federal Government has no such power. In the midst of this harangue Repre sentative Williams, a stalwart Wisoonain Republican, put the knife into Mr. Gar field, as Mr. Cox expressed it, by asking him whether the Preeident has the right ever to use the army to keep the peaoe at the polls. Garfield tried his hand at a modified affirmative, but failed ,in his effort, amidst great laughter. After his speech the disaffected Republicans begged for time to assert themselves. It woe late in the afternoon, however, and the Democrats wanted to vote. Garfield hurried over to the other side of the Chamber and begged Clymer to insist on, the closing of the discussion, and his re quest was granted and his misery’ended, with Keifer oa the floor protesting that he had been gagged. On the vote four teen Republicans voted that the billwas a surrender of all they had been contend ing for during the session, and to-night they are loud in prophetic warnings to their yielding associate*. The Senate stalwarts are very muoh put out by the aotion of the House Republicans and will make a fight against the bill when it reaches that body. And wince that time, eooording to the testimony from all souroes not Rspnbli- can, the stalwart roosters have felt that their combs were cut, and the extra ses sion hss resulted or is likely to result In a substantial viotory to tbe Democrats.

Stephenson, the great au thor of railways, laid down tbs proposi tion “That where combination is possible competition is impossible.” and the ex—- perienoo of half a century has made the proposition an axiom. It may be unwise for railway companies to injure each other by foolish and illegitimate compe tition. It is certainly against public policy that they should be allowed to injure the pnblio by powerlnl and tyran nical combinations. Oar contemporary thinks also that “the language of the constitution Is not per missive ba( mandatory, and (he mem bers of the Legislature, having sworn to obey tbe constitution, will hardly violate their oaths.” Bat suppose no complaints arejenloied np, (as from present appearances is highly probable,) sgainst the railroads, what then?

Moreover, such uncalled for Interfer ence would be a monstrous invasion ot private vested rights. Just as soon af fix a price for carriage hire, baoon, flour, or any other commodity. It should be remembered that the etockholders of the railroads of Georgia embraoe a very large peroentage of the people and tax payers of the oommonwealtb, many of whom are widows and orphans, or per sons in fedaced circumstances. Surely onr lawgivers wonld not legislate sgainst them without adequate cause. And with regard to this pooling busi ness. While in the abstract the views of our contemporary are doubtless correot, still his argument does not obtain so far as relates to the railroad system of Geor gia Here,the moderate pool rates that have been instituted, tend rather to sustain the weaker roade and prevent a damaging monopoly on the part ot the stronger. For instance, suppose the Central railroad, refusing to make a pool with her lees powerful yival, the Macon and Brunswick, should eesay to run it into earth by reducing fares and freights to a figure under which the latter oould not possibly exist ? Of course it would bo question of time only before the weaker would suocumb, leaving the field to bo monopolized by its antagonist, Bat we contend that tho rsilroad inter ests of Georgia hare made poorer returns, and paid smaller dividends to their stockholders for the last ten years than any other Investment in ths com munity. Thie clearly shows that tbe aggrandizement of the contracting roads. Oar own opinion is that the least possible'legislation should be done is the premises. If, however, well authenti cated instances of causeless discrimina tions and oppression can be substantiated against any of the iron highways of the commonwealth, then let the axe of whole some legislation be laid to the root of all snoh grievances. Silver Currency in Germany. The Vienna correspondent of the Lon don Economist makes ths following allu sion to the rnmor that Germany is likely to obo a portion of her hoard of silver for increasing the circnlition of that ma terial: ‘‘Itis now abont a week sinos strange ramors were circulated at Berlin os to the probability of a revision of the surrencyact. We have received private communications from Berlin that con firm these rumors. It is feared that Bis marck willattempttochangethe currency sot, which, after so many difficulties, has at lost been happily put into effect. The sale of silver at the hands of the German government has ceased and thia certainly proves that something ont of tha common is going on. It is to be hoped that nothing else will take place besides what we have already referred to, ▼is., that ninety-nine or one hundred mil lion marks more silver token money is to bs coined. The BonrseB themselves have been somewhat influenced by the rumors circulating and the notion that any change wonld necessarily be followed by a rise in the price of sliver. A Urge amount of silver rente has been bough id the coarse ot the week, so that itB price—which was recently almost on psr with paper rente—has again risen.'' Ended at lose. The strike of Toogshoremen, in New York, whioh has been stubbornly main tained for six weeks, has collapsed at length by the laborers consenting to ac cept the old rates of twenty-five cents per hour allowed by fhe steamship compa nies. Many of the old hands, however, have lost their places by the refusal of their employers to discharge the men who had come to their help in the honr of need. "The Gnion Line has one-half new and one-halt old men. The Inman Line also took btok a portion of the old hands. The Anchor Line has abont forty old and twenty-five new men. The White Star Lino took back forty, and other linee all followed suit.” This is nsnslly the result of theie ill- stored bombina lions.

From a Weil written article in the South ern Preibjlerian, by “8. L.

We may, therefore, allow that he was hones I ; but nis recklessness and hie perversion of aound morale were so enormous, that he must be oonsidered a wicked man.

Garrison looked to insurrection as the means and method by which sUvery should be abolished, and he approved it.

Mammoth Farms Its the Med River Country. Take, says tbe New York Commercial Bulletin, two farms as a specimen of the extent and the success that attend wheat culture in thia wonderful valley. The Cass, Cheney and Dalrymple farm, situ ated about twenty miles west of Fargo, embraces a tract of some four miles 'square—the total area being about 10,- 240 acres. Last year, from 5,103 sores, there were harvested 111,933 bushels, or 21.9 bushels per acre. The port sown to oats produced 52 4*5, and that to barley 34 3-5 buaheli per acre. Though only about half the farm was under cultiva tion in 1778, it produced 136,698 bushels of grain. The Grandin form, thirty- five miles north of Fargo, oon tains -68,000 acres, 40,000 of which are devoted to wheat culture. There were under cultivation last year only 4,490 acres, and from them there were pro- bushels of oats, 6,700 bushels of barley, 3,000 bushels of turnips, 2,000 bushels of potatoes and 2,502 tons of hay. telephone, with a wire four miles long, is In use on the farm.

Yesterday the scheme ot establishing water works in the city, was discussed in many parts of the city, and It is .steadily gaining adherents and sup porters. The estimates that have been all fall below 9X25,000, while one computation made by an engin- neer of skill aad'-txpenence will not reach $75,000. By this plan the city wll? be supplied with nearly a half million gal lons of water, or more than an average of twenty gallons of water per capilr. For firs purposes by this plan forty pings axe provided for. The plan, and the one which seemB almost tho only practical one, is to bring ths water by piping to the foot of one of the hills in the upper part of the city and pump it from there into a reservoir on tha summit ot the hill. To-morrow the committee will oommence work in earnest, provided with estimates cf the probable coat ot the work. IthM been suggested that tbe amount deBired to be raised be divided into shares reasonable in amounts, and subscribers be allowed to psy in weekly or monthly installments, running through two yearn if necekaary. This plan has been found to work ad mirably in Haooh in raising the capital g tock of several banks.

The olear majority for free trade in parliament is estimated at twenty-five.
