Ho advises tho Greenbackers of tho Indiana

A Democratic estimate of the formation of
tho Forty-sixth House, made by friends of
Speaker lUhdaix, claims a plurality of nine

The reception nod banquet to Burba
Ghat At Highland Bark la*t evening wm
npon the part of the citizens of that pleftinnt
suburb a handsome recognition of the honor
of having in their midst as neighbor and
friend the man whose discovery and devel
opment of the transmission of musical tone
and vocal sound by - the aid of electricity
have ezoited the attention and admiration of
the world. Both In the large attendance of
notable people and in the messages of re
gard received from those nnahle to bo pres
ent the affair was one of unusual interest.
Reports of dastardly outrages commuted
on election-day in South Carolina continue
to multiply. At Orangeburg, in the Charles
ton district, Baku* Keitt, a regularly-ap
pointed United States Commissioner, asked
permission to be present at the counting of
the ballots. Ho was at once arrested and
thrown into jail. After his release, and
while attempting to serve warrants on the
men who had interfered with him in
(ho discharge of Ids duty, lie was brutally
assaulted, kicked, And beaten, and again
thrown into jail, where ho now lies. His
assailants walked off unmolested by the
State constabulary.
A question of international law bos been
raised on acconnt of the experience of a Chi
cagoan in h!s native Province of Westphalia.
Ho had returned on a visit, and woe notified
that ho must leave within a certain time or
submit to tho performance of military duly.
The propriety of Ibis nation. of the West
phalian Government under the existing treaty
between Germany and the United States
scorns to have been called in question by tho
American Minister as a matter involving tho
rights of a naturalized citizen of the United
Staten, although the citizen himself
made no formal complaint. Tho
Westphalian Minister of the Interior tokos
the ground that no principle of international
law has boon violated In this cose, and that
the right of expulsion of aliens from ony
country is not traversed by existing treaty
stipulations. It is clear, however, that no
such exercise of this right wonld have oc
curred but for the practice, latterly quite
prevalent, of former citizens returning to,
reside permanently in Germany with the ex
pectation of escaping ndlitary duty. Tourists
ond travelers having no intention of remain
ing permanently abroad will experience no
difficulty of tho kind.
THE SOUTHERN POLICY.
It will bo observed with a feeling of regret
in some quarters and indignation in others
that the President is (inclined to temporize
in tho matter of tho Southern policy, and
that, having spoken a few bold words that
implied his determination to act, bo is now
disposed to break the force of his declaration
by explanations that give him the appearance,
at least, of shilly-shallying. If tho President
is to bo blown abont by every Mind, and is
afraid of his words after fio has spoken them,
ho might os well abandon any theory or pol
icy and give the Southern Bourbons free
rein, for that mast bo tho ultimate effect of
his temporizing. Ho might as well say to
tho white and black Republicans of the
South: “ The Government cannot protect
yon in your rights; it cannot execute its
laws; you must toko care of yourselves."
When tho President first onnounood his
policy of conciliation and good-fellowship it
was very generally hailed as a harbinger of
peace, and it was thonght that tho era of
disorder and turbulence iu tho South would
speedily cease, that the political confusion
would end, and that all men would enjoy the
rights guaranteed them by the laws, freed
from any further partisan persecution. Tho
more radical portion of the Itepablican party
had no faith in tho policy, and openly mani*
footed its hostility ; but tho majority of tho
party took oa opposite view, while nearly
every one was willing that tho policy should
have a fair trial, that it might be ascertained
to what extent tho Southern loaders were in
earnest. Gov. Kxcnozxs, of Louisiana, Qor.
Hampton, of South Carolina, Bsn Hiu>, and
other representative moo, who certainly had
authority ta spook for tho Democratic party
in the South, had promised that if they wore
allowed home-rule tho laws should bo ad
ministered as fairly in the South os they ore
in tho North 5 that the Republicans lu the
South should havemfree exercise of all their
political rights ns tho Republicans in tho
North 5 that tho colored man should
no longer bo persecuted or maltreated, but
should have all tho privileges of tho oltizea
which wore guaranteed him by the Constitu
tion 5 that elections should bo fair and free;
that there should bo no more tampering with
the ballot-box ; that bulldozing should slop;
and that there should be no further inter
ruptions to the administration of law and
justice. They offered in extenuation of past
offenses that their people, fresh from tho
disastrous experiences of the War of tho
Rebellion, were exasperated by tho presence
of United States' troops. If they wore
relieved of those troops and were left to
govern themselves, they pledged their honor
that there should bo no farther ground of
complaint.
Tho President took them at their word.
Tho troops were withdrawn from every
tiouthum city, which was tho signal for a
bitter onslaught upon tho army by the
Southern members of Congress, in league
with tho Northern Democrats, with the view
of compassing its destruction or of crippling
it so seriously that it could never be of use
for any future purpose. The President took
the South by the band, and the whole North,
forgetting tho past, stretched its hands
across tho bloody chasm oud bade them God
speed in their work of home-rule. Later on
the Northern people still further manifested
their fraternal feeling towards tbe South by
a practical sympathy and a noblo charity
that have rarely been equaled la the records
of human benevolence.
How has the BoutU performed its port of
its agreement f Every pledge that U made
Lae been deliberately violated. The lavs
have do! been administered fairly; ou the
other Laud, they hare beou repeatedly vio
lated, aud those who have violated them have
been shielded from their penalties. The He
publicans hi the South have not been allowed
the same privileges as the Republicans In
the North, for their meetings have been
broken up, their speakers bare been mobbed,
aud tho voters bare beau deprived of tbu
right of suffrage. The black Republicans
bare not been unmolested; on the other
liaud, they have been persecuted and boll
dosed with fresh fury, aud all the more
freely as (hs national \ police wers not on the
ground to protect them. Elections have
not been fair; ou (ho other hand, by (be ose
of packages of tissue-paper votes, by the alter
ulionsof registers, by false counts, by holding
bock and manipulating returns, and by lUo
(uunblu expulsion of Republicans from the

polls, or by point-blank refusal to receive
their voles, they have succeeded in reluming
n solid Sonlhcrn dtloi.xllnn of Jlourhnn*. u;*t
only from districts where Republicans wore
disfranchised, but from districts where they
wore elected, and then defrauded out of their
seals after election. Not one pledge has
been kept. Every promise baa been dchb*
cratoly and systematically violated.
The President cannot expect that the poo*
plo of the North will shut their eyes to this
reckless violation of a plighted engagement,
lie cannot expect that they will calmly look
on without any protest against his Inclina
tion to shilly-shally with these Southern
leaders under the protouse that be is enforc
ing law. They look for prompt and vigor
ous action, and no apologies for Nicnoua,
Hampton, or any of the rest of tho leaders
who might have prevented these recent out
rages oy simply speaking tbo word. If he
expects to retain bis best friends and tho
respect that is felt for him, he will quit tem
porizing, and enforce the lows, no matter
what the consequences may be. «
THE AMERICAN DOLLAR.
In the letter published this morning on
(be subject of tho dollar unit of value, our
correspondent Is probably correct with ref
erence to tho coin nuit of value. When the
silver dollar was authorized in 171)3 there
was no other coin of that denomination. Tho
law made tjio “dollar" tho nuit of value,
aud it mado 371 j grains of pure silver tho
dollar. Tills dollar was, therefore, in fact
and ( by provisiuu of law, (ho unit of value
in this couutry. Tho gold dollar was not
known or coined for metro than half » cen
tury later, aud has nearly dropped out of
use. Gold coins of less than $3 have never
been popular, though they arc coined when
ever specially requested. When the silver
dollar was abolished,—its coinage forbidden
and the coin demonetized,—tho gold dollar
was made the logoi unit. In restoring tho
silver dollar and making it legal-tender, (bo
original character of tho American “ dollar,"
consisting of 371£ grains of silver, was not
re-established, and that of tho gold dollar
was left as it stood. Ao our national debt
is payable in tho standard silver or gold
coins, an provided by law in 1870, tho omis
sion makes no practical legal difference at
Uils tune, though, to preserve the historical
unity of our coinage, tho American “dollar"
should again be declared to consist of 071J
grains of pure silver.
Trade dollars wore originally coined for
export, aud not forcirculotion. When coined,
they were worth $1.04 in gold, and, like
tho standard dollar, which was worth $1.03
in gold, did not chcalato, they being worth
more ns bullion than os coin. Biuco tho
change in tho relative values of gold aud
silver bullion, these trade dollars, not being
legal-teuders for more than $3, woro put iu
circulation. On tho 22d of July, 1870, Con
gress passed a law declaring, that tho trade
dollar should not thereafter be a legal-lender
for any sum, and tho Secretary of tho
Treasury was “ authorized to limit, from
time to time, tho coinage thereof to such on
amount as he may deem sufficient to meet
(ho export demand for the some." In Octo
ber, 1877, tho trade dollar being pushed into
circulation, tho Secretary of tho Treasury
directed that no more should bo coined at
tho mints, and nono have been coined during
tho year just closed. They woro never coined
on Government acconnt, bat always on pri
vate account. They have never been re
ceived or poid out by tho Govcrnmeui aa
money. There is no occasion or necessity
to make thorn a legal-tender. Comparatively
they ore not numerous. They aro receivable
at the mint for tboir value as silver, and
holders cau exchange them os silver for ooiu
that is legal-tondcr. When so surrendered
to the mint, (hey can be coined into silver
dollars. To mnko them legal-tender would
(end to perpetuate thuir existence, and thus
have two silver dollars at one tlmo of differ
ent devices, weights, and bullion value. All
that is to bo done or ought to bo done
—they are mainly bold by persons who have
bought them on speculation—is to author
ize their surrender at the mints, at their
value os bullion, ond have them recoined in
tno legal and standard silver coins of tho
United States. There should be but one
silver dollar, and (hat should be tho standard
of ,3711 grains of pure silver.
TUB CHIME OFCBIUBO.
AU largo cities abound in schools of vlco
for the poor, the wretched, and tho un
fortunate, Traps arc set to oitcU them in
every narrow, lilthy elroot, la ovary squalid
lodging-homo, and in every other place
wbero the victims of poverty and misfortune
congregate. Dickknh’ story of J<\tgin tho
Jew and Oliver 'Ucid is a graphic picture of
one of the thousand method* whereby vice
propagates Itself, rearing a hideous progeny.
Fiifjin’s trade was to make thieves of kid
napped children,—educate them for more
denpurate crimes, and finally laud thou in
the Jails ond prisons, or send them to the
gallows. Of all his wretched flock, only one—
Olicer Ttcut —camo out of the terrible ordeal
pure ; tho rest wont their ways to swell tho
ranks of crime. Cities ore full of Pugin* of
every criminal type. They ueduoo the un
wary Into dramshops, into gambling.
I houses, into houses of ill-fame. They spread
nets for boyß ami girls, and lead them on
from one stop of vice to another, until,
bankrupt of honor and hope, they die misera
bly, victims of despair. Letter for them and
for the world bad they never lived.
It Is a splendid evidence of tho growth in
virtue of modern civilization that in every
large city hundreds of humanitarian associa
tions stretch out their hands iu efforts to
rescue those victims of vice and crime from tho
dutches of their enslavers. There is scarcely
o city church thaPhoa not its mission school
devoted to the education of the still innocent
children of the helpfossly poor, sod the rec
lamation of those who Jiavo olroody started
on tho downward rood. In tbeso schools
thousands of persons from the higher wolka
of life—persona removed far from want, and
frefl to taks their ease—serve as teachers.
In scores of other woys persons of wealth
and culture seek to mitigate the woes of pov
erty and save the community from the con
tamination of its necessarily evil effects.
Bat, while humanitarians are thus employed,
the purity of their own family circles is
seriously menaced. Vico does not confine
Its operations to the alleys, byways, and ao
knowlvdgcd haunts of depravity. It keek
ons alluringly to the sons and daughters of
merchant princes, lawyers, doctors, and
clergymen.
The circulation of obscene literature and
pictures in tbs public schools and private edu
cational institutions of the country is a strik
ing illustration of tho foot that modem so
ciety, from the (op to the bottom round of
tbe ladder, is on entirety,—a mass,—and, if
there is vice at (be bottom, it is sure to drag
down virtue from tbe top. There is no es
cape from this law of contamination. Tho
best trained boy is liable to be stained with
vice every time he leaves tho paternal roof;
tho purest girl may bo pnlhred by n contact
enforced by circumstances over which lur
parents can cxoi'cmo ho control, Cldhlrin
iuu«l bj sent to public or private school-.,
ami tho experience of Mr. Anthony Com
stock demonstrates that obscene literature
ami pictures are ibrmt into the hands cf
.pupils iu all the public schools, and nearly
all, if not all, tho private educational institu
tions of tho country. The most securely
guarded female seminaries iu the laud are
not exempt from tho danger of this rtio con
tamination. Tho different associations of in
famous scoundrels devoted to tho business o!
circulating obscuro literature have a record
of tho names and addresses of three hundred
thousand loyt and girl s, pupils, in tho United
States; ami to those addresses they mall cir
culars inviting the purchase of their abom
inable publications. Those fiends in human
form seek to propagate vice in (ho upper cir
cles of society as tho Jew Fngin sought to
propagate it iu tho tower circles, Pttgin
taught boys to steal that bo might live and
accumulate wealth off their crimes. His
principal object was avarice, bat he came
finally to worship vice for itself and to gloat
over exhibitions of hideous moral depravity
on tho part of his wretched pupils. The
same is dftublloss true of dealers in obscene
literature. Primarily their object is gain,
but as they study to Invent arts for the ex
tenaion of (heir damnable traffic tho desiro
to spread moral pollution for tho moro loro
of it must grow into a monstrous all-absorb
ing passion. Thus they como to hate virtue
with a bitter ond relentless rage, and to em
brace vice with a feeling of diabolic joy.
To drive these moral posts from their un
holy business is tho mission of Mr. Cow
stock, and no moro worthy object over en
listed tho services of a humanitarian or the
sympathies and aid of an indignant commu
nity. Mr. Comstock has been engaged In
(ho crusade for several years. Tho villains
ho pursues aro under tho ban of lav/, and ho
shows no mercy. They aro prosecuted re
lentlessly, aud their wares are ruthlessly de
stroyed. So vigorous baa boon his warfare
timt New York, formerly tho centre of their
operations, <8 nearly free from tho scourge
of their presence. Accordingly they ore
turning their attention to tho West. Think
of it, fathers and mothers I There ere men—
devils we should say—studying how to pol
lute tho minds and hearts of yonr innocent
children; Intriguing to place in their hands
obsccno litomturo and vile pictures I Gould
you detect ono of tho miscreants in the act,
yon would strike him to tho earth and spurn
him with your foot. But, like, all unclean
things, these wrotchos who sock to ruin
yonr sons and debauch your daughters hido
away from the public view and spread their
pollutions through tho most cunning meth
ods. To discover them requires tho keenest
detective skill. Only organized effort can
seize ond punish thorn, ond destroy their
vile publications. A society has boon form
ed in this city for that purpose. Tho object
of this society is most beneficent. Let it
have the earnest, hearty support of every
man and woman iu Chicago who detests vice
ond loves virtue.
DUTY OP SECRETARY EVARTS.
Tho announcement can scarcely (ail to ex
cite general surprise and. unfavorable com
ment that tbe Government has about com
pleted tho purchase of foreign exchange for
.the payment to Great Britain of tho $3,300,-
000 awarded by the Halifax Commission. Of
what avail was Secretary Starts’ elaborate
and ablo argument if it was his purpose to
pay the award lo ipito of tho injustice of tho
claim? If ho hoped to obtain from tho Brit
ish Government a voluntary relinquishment
of tho claim by demonstrating that it was
outrageously extortionate, ho has erred seri
ously iu his estimate of tho commercial in
stinct of that nation. If bo thinks that any
body connected with tho British Govern
ment, or any largo number of British sub
jects, will feel any compunction about grab
bing the five and a half millions of dollars
because tho award is out of all proportion to
any legitimate claim, ho has an appreciation
of English sensitiveness not at all warranted
by poet experience. In preparing to pay
over this money in a fow days, Mr. Evarts
is in the position of u lawyer who first demon
strates the merits o I the ooso in hand and
then abandons it.
Lord Siubbcrx's reply to Secretary
Evjusts* dispatch about tbo Fortune Day out*
rage does not improve tbe British side of ibis
controversy. It la in no sense an apology
or explanation, and uoataely a defense of the
indignities committed upon American fisher,
men under the cover of local laws. Lord
Haurdubv says, in effect, that tbe Halifax
awind should bo paid first, aud, after tbo
money is well in band, ber Majesty's Oov.
umment may deign to consider any com.
plaints which Mr, Evauts may have to malm
as to British violation of tbe treaty. This is
very lofty ground. Tbe Fortune Bay out*
rage was committed before aoy question was
raised about tbe payment of tbo Halifax
award. If it was a violation of the Treaty
of Washington, which can scarcely bo
doubted, then tbe United States Govern,
ment is certainly Justified In delaying
the payment of an outrageously excessive
award under that treaty until the British
violation thereof shall have been sot right,
and the proper assurances given against
future violations. Of course the British
Government will carry matters with a high
hand Just so long as tho American Govern,
ment will submit. But our Government bos
submitted long enough, and tho American
people will not entertain a very high opinion
of Secretary Ev arts’ nerve if he shall con*
soot to pay over this money in tho very face
of his own unanswerable demonstration that
It ought never to bo paid.
Aside from the Fortune Bay outrage, an
examination of tho case from the printed
testimony shows that the award Is so exlur.
tlonale that it could not have Wen agreed to
by tho English aud Belgian Ouuunissiouors
without a knowledge on their part that they
wore consenting to a huge fraud. A writer
in Jlarj*r'» Weekly has been making on
examination of o thorough abstract of
tbo testimony and documents, which
make up three volumes of over 1,000 pages
each, and demonstrates from the evidence
and claim submitted by tbe British Govern,
ment that not a dollar should bo paid in tho
way of compensation or damages for the
right of imshore fishing. Hero are some of
the obvious deductions from tho case as
made up by the British Government:

will remain the snm whicn the Halifax Commission
was to determine as dim from the I'nltcd Stales to

$5,000,0001
It has been proved by the citation of vari
ous facts and statistics, and by arguments of
various descriptions, that Great Britain has
not an equitable claim for ono dollar nudor
tho terms of 'the treaty, and (ho only ground
on which the Commissioners could have
Justified the award of any amount was by
tho consideration of “indirect" or “conse
quential " damages; bnt H was decided by
tho Genova Commission (hat no such dam
ages could bo taken into acconnt under this
saiuo treaty, so that tho Halifax Commission
wero expressly precluded from • estimating
the relative advantages to commerce in gen
eral, or tho promotion of better feeling be
tween (ho United States and Canada, or ony
other obstrnct or sentimental consideration of
any nature whatever. Tho fact that the
majority of the Commission wero influenced
by such considerations—and ii is evident
that they were—is sufficient of itself to
vitiate and annul their decision.
The Btato Deportment lias been weak and
timorous in Its treatment of this Halifax case
from the beginning, It should have entered
its protest from tbo very first in a tone which
would have convinced the British Govern
ment that tbu United States would not sub
mit to the extortion, it should have re
quested the Belgian Government to recall
Mr. De&tossb, on tliogronnd that, as a creat
ure of Groat Britain, bo bod been a parly to
a palpable fraud and guilty of bad faith
toward the Government to which he was ac
credited. This would have been such a
notice to the British Government of nn in
tention to resist payment that it would be
fore now have consented to a rehearing of
the caso on its merits, to bo delormiuod, os
the treaty provides, by a unanimous decision
of the Commission. There is still time to
ntouo In port for the weakness that has been
shown by refusing to pay the money on tbo
ground that the treaty has boon violated by
Groat Britain, and snob a stand will bo fully
justified by the developments of tbo proceed
ings that will follow. ' Secretary Evicts
cannot surely doubt the justice of such a
course after tbo orgnmont he has made; has
he the pluck to adopt It and carry it out?

and that the Government would bo secured

At the recent meeting of the Wom
on’a Christian Temperance Union, the
suffrage question proved to bo a bono
of contention. Miss JJWillard, of this
city, Introduced a series of resolutions which
closed by declaring that woman-suffraio was
not alllllated with temperance work. Another
Illinois delegate took Issua with this view, ami
there was quite a lively dlscusslou, which ended
lu supporting the resolutions. At this point of
thedlscussion Brother Moody took tho platform,
and hinted that tho ladles didn’t know what
they were talking about, whereupon several of
the irate females went for Mr. Moody’s scalp,
at it were. He tnen gotdown off tils high horse*
organized a prayer-meeting, and poured oil un
the troubled waters.
Tho Duke of Sutherland to no unlucky hour

He thought It was a reliable concern. Now

□ever frittered away his enormous Income,
which was about 6003,000 a year. In selfish

Atmntic Cirr, N. J„ Nov. 15.—This
seaside resort, next to Long Branch lhcgr;-.itc‘t
rival or Cape May, and more a winter cliv thnu
either of them, narrowly escaped destruction 1.,-
flre this morning. Shortly alter I o'clock the
flames broke out In a grocery store, exactly ou
pmltc the United States Hotel, where the iv.
ter Committee held Its sessions. Before Hi-
Fire Department could do anything the Honrs
gained great headway, and several adjoining
houses weru soon cm Arc. The whole block
was In Imminent peril, and at onu
time that largo wooden structure, the
United States Hotel, was In serious
danger of catching lire, and considerable utix
(ctv was felt fur Us safety, for, if It had ignited,
the disaster at Cops May might have been re
peated here. The Arc extended on both s drs
of the starting point, and the following proper
ties were destroyed: A stern occupied by C. FI.
Adams,belonging to Lewis Reed, Jr.; the dm;-
store and residence of E. 8. Reed; the dwclUn;
and stationery More of jgtwls Reed, Sr.; Sinn
tier’s shoo store; and tho residence, a cottage,
of James M. Reed. All of the above
mentioned properties were Insured in
Millville nud Newark Insurance com
panies. The firemen worked heroically,
and It Is mainly due to their efforts that the
surrounding houses were not burned, it is
the opinion of mnnr that, If u good supply of
water and suction-huso had been provided
much valuable property would have been satv.l.
However, the engine and other apparatus fur
fire were in good condition, and wore the means
of saving inuen property. During tnu lire con
siderable excitement was aroused in the ettr,
and Mr. Edward 8. Tiivlor, a house-painter,
fell dead from overexcitement, he hir
ing been troubled with heari-ncca*'*. It i<
believed tbo loss wilt nut exceed 85U,000. Tbo
store ol C. K. McPherson sad (he cottage of
Gustavus bchwartz. and scver-.il small collages,
were also destroyed. They nro insured. Nearly
hM the property destroyed was owned liv Len-tv
Heed, and was rented by the ocuupanis. Tin
water supply ran short (or nearly an hour, and,
while efforts were bemg mode to procure more,
the lire gained headway. The lire Is supposed
to have been caused by tbo Ignition of matches
gnawed by mice.
