Mr. Wilson, duriug nl* brief visit to London, mudo necenary by Ids ill health, thought proper to accept an In vitation to a luikgtct extended him by tho uicrehnnla of London, In recogni tion of hi* service* In behalf of coin- Uicrelal freedom. Tills fact and a brief alMtmet of Ills remarks on that occa sion were reported by «Ue. The de giro of 'tne Loudon merehanls to ex press their gratitude to Mr. Wilton nml the latter'* response" nro now tho sub ject of a great deal of editorial com ment la tho newspapers. Republicans, of course, are doing what they can to mafco It appear that the new tariff D a British measure, designed In tho in lefe*u of flat London merchants,. amt that therefore Mr. Wilson's vts'.t Is of the nature ot the return to his employ ers of a faithful servant ami the eon pl.meiitary banquet hut n do-erri\l re- want for Ids services. ’Urey proceed eu the theory that a law which is g for Englishmen tuu»t be hail for Amer ican*. We are sorry to --v that aMM of the Dem.K-r.ulo newspaper*, also, have It this matter strained an npolo- getje altitude as ,f Mr. 'WlKm were guilty of a wrong or Indiscreet act— seeming to consent that he appeared before on audience of enemies or ,\mer- leana for tho purpose of rejoicing w.th them over an American misfortune. We do not bollcvo. any apology 1* necessary whatever. The rejoicing of Englishmen over the enactmeat of a new law enlarging commercial lilx-rty was perfectly natural nnd there la no reaaon why Americana should not re joice with them. The profits of the Increased trade which will result from that Increase of liberty will bo shared by all who participate In lt-by Amer icans at fully as by Englishmen, if there la no lucres so In trade. It will be because the trade Is not profitable to one party or the other, for In the long run commerce must be profitable or It will cease, if, a* a remit of the new law, Englishmen are able to pcotlt- fcbly sell some bundled* of millions more of good* to American*, Ameri can* will also B, ll profitably to Eng lishmen some hundreds of millions more of good*. International trade is In the long rail barter. Balances are occasionally made good with flic rectal• by .lyhlch the value of good* Is meas ured, hut experience shows that these balance* are flrst on one side and then on the other, nnd are duo to temporary conditions. Then why should Ameri cans not rejoice with the London mer chant* at the prospect of their selling to us more goods than they have’ here tofore soldi It may be answered that these Englishmen are our enemies ami that' we ought to make ‘sacrifices rather than permit them to-make profits. 115s Is tbo Idea on which Republican argument fur protection la largely predicted. But It 1* false. Politically tho British may be our ri vals, oven our enemies, but commer cially, when we are buying from them and selling to them, they ore / our friends. We cannot get along without them. They buy the bulk of our cotton crop and most of the exporta ble surplus of our other crops. (Jom- mercially, they are our best friends, nnd there 1* no reason why, ns wo have aalil before, wo should not rejoice In a prosperity, or the prospect of a prosperity, flint wo will shore with them. Tho ntrength of protection In this country Is largely baaed on 'a provin cialism which the Republican party has sedulously taught to bo patriotism. It Is tho business of tho Democratic party to untrach flint teaching. Merc Jealousy or dislike of foreigners Is not patriotism. Tho Chinaman Is full or these qualities—fuller than tho man of any other nation. Perhaps It was bred In him through subjection for generations to tho policy of protection carried to tho point of absolute noa- Intcrcourso with nil foreigners. But nobody who looks nt the state of China now, beaten nnd badgered by an ene my who ought to be Insignlllennt, can hold that the Chinese are patriotic. Mr. Wilson did well to nttend tho banquet und he made a speech becom ing to any patriotic American. When ho told tho Englishmen present tnn,t tho relief of tho United States from tiie hopple of protection mount that In n short tlmo the London merchants would meet In nil tho mnrkct* of tlm world an American competitor, wo be lieve he spoko tbo truth. GERMAN Y'lTsENSATION. When tho Socialist propaganda be gan In Germany some years ngo its bent was towards violence. It will bo remembered that two or more nttumpts to murder tho old Emperor William were lundo by men who called tliem- nclvca Socialists, hut In whoso belief* uud practices men generally could sec little difference! from those of Russian, nihilists. Since flint time, however, tho Socialists have become so numer ous ns to ooustltute a great political parly, ami with this development 1ms come moderation and a sense or re- Hponslblllty. Tlio men who lend tho party, ami jierhaps nearly all the Indi vidual members, hnvo no purpose ex cept to gain by peaceful, constitutional methods tbo instnllatlou of a govern ment fnshlonvd according to Socialist theories. They expect to make tho state everything nud tlio citlxrn noth ing, but they expect to do no by gain ing the consent to tbo ohaugo of a ma jority of Goriunu voters. Tills expect ation may be ns visionary ns their the ories, hut so long as It Is held tho So cialist party of Germany will not in terfere with the peace and good, order of society. In view of the later development— of the KueeoKS which we have rllted—It I* easy to understand tUo enormous sensation erected tu Gee many by tho arrest of nearly two hun dred uou-eommiss'.ouvd officers of tho army, - charged with connection with tho Anarchist propaganda In Germany. It lmd becu supposed that anarchism had been overwhelmed by the ndvnnce of hoclullsm. and moreover the army Is looked upon ns the mainstay of , tho state. If the army lias bccomo footed not only with socialism hut Wlth”auatvhl vm, the conservative Ger man mny well look to the future with deep foreboding. crate volume of silver dollar* or cer tificate!, whielv win paw from baud to hand where the transunl notes are unavailable. The coiittou* policy of tho secretary is thus not truly legal but sound, uud, unless the calamity hoivl- ; ers Bhould succeed' iu creating 4 scare,, ns seems to lie their primary object. It will be beneficial to lilt- treasury and to tho country.. ' THE BOYNTON LETTER. Tho little town of Antrim, N.

A Strong Document in I-’avor of Hon. John T. Bolfeulllet. Among the mars of strong evidence for the defense that was submitted to the committee that invcMtssted the charges brought against lion. John T. Bolfeulllet, was a letter from Ilou. J. L. Boynton of tjalhoun county, ilr. Boynton was chairman of the enroll ment committee of the house during the oesssuurof 1802 nml lxi«. He is a lawyer of much ability anil a gentle man at the highest character.

Ga., Sept 8, MW.—Hon. J. T. Bolfcuifiot, Alncon, (in.—My Dear Sir: 1 see by the Macon Telegraph of the Ctb Inst., that In your card to the public you iinvc been charged with tampering* with legislative records In making certain changes in Macon's new charter. As chairman of the com mittee on enrollment In the lcg-slature that passed that bill, and through whose hands It passed, and In whose custody it was from the day of Its sig nature of the speaker of the iior.se to Its tnuutralwtone to the senate for the president of that body’s signature, I desire, unsolicited by you or any one for you. in simple Justice to yourself, to say that from the position which 1 occupied In reference to that hill, and all others that passed tho house of rep resentatives during the sessions of 1802 nnd 1803, nnd also from the fact that I had occasion especially to In vestigate certain alterations which 1 discovered had boon made In the afore said act after 1 as chairman of the en rollment committee- had reported to tho house upon tliu same, I can stato most positively and absolutely that oVcry change that was made In tho engrossed and enrolled bills relative to Mnoon’a charter, was authorised by this general assembly. In other words, af ter the bill had passed the house nnd transmitted to the senate that body mnde certain amendments thereto, which were subsequently adopted by tho house. The toterltoea,tlons and erasures that occurred In tho engrossed niul enrolled bills were made to con form to the aenate amendments, why that and nothing more. And the rea son that said Interlineations nnd eras ures were allowed to remain In said bills. Instead of being rewritten nnd nil amendments Inserted In regular form, as is customary with uU bills, was be cause of the great volume of the char ter and the press of business 'Just nt the dose of the session, when the hill was passed. Tn order, therefore, to nave much labor nnd time, aud ns no harm was done, save only, perhaps, such harm us .could be made out of an interlineation nnd erasure that possi bly might have been avoided by hav ing I he clerk to Insert another sheet dean nnd clear, to "conform to the mneiulmenrs. As I apprehend that tlio cause of nil tile racket made concerning this charter grew out of the Aforesaid Interlineations and erasures, a mere presumption that some ono had "tam pered" wl(h the records, I have in sim ple Justice to yourself dictated this let ter, being too sick to wrlto .myseir, which you can use ns you sec,proper. I will, ir necessary, make an affidavit ns to tho facts herein stated. I am, sir, yuira very truly, Jett L. Boynton, l wish to state further that by ref erence to flie original bill nnd the com plete records in tlio Macon charter act, which can be had by application to the proper officials of the state archives, •t can be easily nnd readily ascertained that no “tampering" was done except such tampering and change* ns were authorised by tho legislature in gen eral assembly met J.
