The London Time has an editorial on American finances, wherein tli wri ter com menu on Secretary Boutwell's advocacy of paying the tiatiotinl debt in gold, and consider the very necessity of such an advocacy a proof of the strength of the repudiators. Dcatli of Governor Wicklifle. Hon. Chan. A. Wicklitl'e, cx-Goveru-orof Kentucky and Postmastcr-Gcucr-al under President Tyler, died at the residence of his son-in-law, in Howard county, Md., on Sunday evening, the 31st ult., in his 82d year, having been born In Bardstown, Nelson county, Ky., June tf, 17MS. What' In a Name? Clearly not the power to give a man a large, generous spirit of humanity. During the burning of the steamer Stouewell on tho Mississippi she was passed by another strainer that might have saved many lives, but only went on lis way ; and tho name of the cup taiiiol' this oilier steamer was Wash ington. The State Department Has information that Minister Mot ley has made Important progress In the negotiations of a consular treaty, a n.at " ter of btmclil to'cousuls and commercial interests. lie has also been successful in obtaining assurances that Parliament will pass a law to carry into ellect the naturalization treaty made by Minister .Johnson mill rutilicd by the Senate last winter. Tho New Movement. The new woman's movement, which has made its Iuilia! demonstration in Connecticut, appears to bo the same old story, There is nothing new in the utterances of the principals. What is projected is merely an old tale in a little better form. Suppose now, the woman sull'iage advocates, respectable and oth erwise, agree to lay the subject on the shelf until Congress meets, and then leave to that body the definite settle ment of the qestion, or tho settlement of it for n season. Best, we think, would benefit the parties concerned and the public, too. 'Plume Present. ' General Grant went from Washing ton to Philadelphia to attend the wed ding of a daughter of Bishop Simpson. Ho had on "wedding garmouts,' for the reporters describe his coat even in de tail, and the Now York World says: "They report with equal and painful particularity tho gilts of the guests, llut hero we look In vain for mention of Grant. Everybody else seems to have contributed j but in tho long list of presents there is no mention of a Grunt or a Dent." Tho World seems to forget that all the gifts Grant Is nouccrnud In take another direction. , Washington Items. Thero Is no doubt of uu earnest move ment on foot to annex SL Domingo to tho United States. Tho President gave n Interview to-day lo parties who ought to influence him to recommend jiuch annexation in the annual message. He replied that he had tho mutter under advisement, and was fully informed of the views of tho people of St. Domingo on the subject of tho resources of the island through a special commissioner sent out for that purpose by Ihe govern ment. Counsel from Cincinnati this alter leriioon argued the raso of ibo Tonnes ee railroads before Jtistirc hwayno. The rase is a claim lor Indebtedness to the l'n I ted States of some four millions from four roads, and tho defense of the roads ,1s that tho Kovomment Is bound to pav for using them during the war, and that their claim Is greater than what thev owe the I'niled Slates. , l'or reasons not fully known, it Is not expected that tho Supremo Court will decide tho legal tender rases for some time to come, from this delay the be lief l founded that the decision is ad verse ti tho r onstliutionnlity of the la w. Why Par IJouds lu Gold? Tho Louisville Courirr-Jourml of the 3d, in alluding to (he payment of Government Uonds in gold, very truth fully remarks that there is no reason why It should be done. The very ablest politicians and financiers even of the l'adicnl party havo committed them selves against the payment of the bonds in gold Senator Mortou, Senator Sher man, and Thod. Stevens, among the rest These are among the greatest of the Uadical leaders, and they havo all committed themselves upon tho ques tion as strongly as men call commit themselves by words. In a letter ad dressed 'u Hon. A. Mann, Jr., dated March I'OthlStiH, Mr. Sherman writes: I Yonr Mm Is tht nc prfpo;, Mintf or Tioia(e a promise when we of fer to redeem the principal In legal ten ders. 1 think the bondholder violates his promise when he refuses to take the same kind of money he paid for his bond. If the ease Is to be tested by the law, I arn right ; if it Is to he tested by Jay VeokcKnilrerfixemfiit. I am wrong. I hate repudiation or anything like it, but wo ought not to be deterred from doing what is right by fear of undeserv ed epithets. If, under the law as it reads, the holder of fi-'JQ's can only be paid in gold, then we are repudiators it we propose to pay otherwise. If, on the other hand, the bondholder can le gally demand only the kind of money lie paid, then he is a repudiator and ex tortioner to demand money more valua ble than ho gave. Here we havo the opinion of the Chairman of the Committee on Finance in the Senate one year ago. It might bo well for Mr. Sherman to inform the people why it Is, under his view of the subject, that Secretary Jloiitwcll, whom he is understood to support, violates and is allowed to violato the law with impunity by giving a hundred and twenty dollars in greenbacks for a hun dred dollars in bonds, when the law authorizes him to pay only the face of the bonds. Tho country grocery-keeper who sells a box of sardines without having a five-cent stamp upon it is ar rested, tried, convicted, and fined one thousand dollars and imprisoned six months for defrauding the revenue out of live cents, but the Secretary who has been defrauding the Government out of three or tour hundred thousand dol lars a week goes free. Why should it be so? Why is it so? '"nSto1hi(t"jl10e of tate date" has this paragraph i A correspondent who Is evidently de sirous of abiding by tho principles of justice, whose objections to our posi tion of the payment of the bonds we have noticed before, writes us that he is in no sense a repudiatiouist that lie desires to abide by the spirit and letter of our contract with the bondholders, llut lie states his understanding of that contract to be that in the stress of tho war the Government was compelled to suspend specie payments, and, as a nec essary resort, issued Government notes, which wero made a legal tender for all public, and private debts, which of course included the bonds. Why, then, he asks, do you propose to do bet ter than the contract lor the benefit of tho bondholder? That is the question. Why try to bet ter the contract for the benefit of the tax-exetnpted bondholders at the ex pense of the tax-payers of the country ? Pig: Tails and All. The "Kev." Mr. llocohcr, in a woman's sullrage speech recently mado in Hart ford, Conn., when questiouod, said : "I am for tho Chinaman's voting, pig tails and all, for his sake as well asours." Iteecho'" sees, and reasons well, that when we broke down the bars for the Africans to leap over, the women must follow men, with "pig tails and all." Tleeclier is consistent. 'To a question trom the audience the Chinaman saying he was a Buddist, Mr. IJeochcr replied ho would let all of both sexes of all races vote, the citizen, of course, and the loreigner also the day ho landed. Our government Is never so Kale as when it rests upon all black or white, bond or free, male or female, nativo or adopted." Tleecher's logic is irresistible; and though the Bible seems to stand il little in tho way of w oman becoming Hallot Hox master over the man, Beccher smashed it up, St. Paul and all. llut. why, when tho African comes In, stop with the Buddist, or the woman, or the foreigner, "the day he lands?" Why not be logically consistent, as Bcecheris? Diamonds. Diamonds, valued at various prices, ranging from $ UK) to $2,000 apiece, are now frequently picked up lit tho newlv discovered diamond fields of South Af rica. Tho diamond known as "tho Star of South Africa" is valued at Sfll.'i.OOO. U would make a handsome ornament for a millionaire, I'.ltlo finger.

The New York Tribune dwindles down the money alliance between Mrs. Grant aud brother-in-law Corbiu to the fo'ttJwInjttllWllIHtr--H'; ' T "The only basis for the alleged com plicity of tho President is the fact that when he sold his house iu this city to General Sherman, he gave Mrs. Grant $12,000 of the proceeds. (Whin wns at the time on his wedding trip, and Mrs. Grant placed the money in his hands to be invested in building lots in the su burbs of New York city. This is the only money Innssetiou'tlmt Icis trans pired between then since President Grant wits Inaugurated, nud it will pro bably he the last. a the President does not hesitate lodeclnre that in the future he will have no social communication with Corbln whatever. It. is probable that Corbin used the money placed un der his control to impress Fisk and Gould with the belief that he was ncl ing as Mrs. Grant's broker; :i belief which was suddenly dispelled when the order wns issued to sell government irold.aud ( Whin's transactions was dis covered." Corbln was nil right until he upset the fat Into the fire of Fisk & Co. Soon afterihat the Tribune, said.
