for
The average Democrat Is not hap
py now. He think be ought to be
indignant over Grant and Sheridan.
The Democrats of the Ohio Legisla
ture hare passed resolutions denuncia
tory xt the Louisiana Legislative af
fair. We knew they would make iJioU

Besides that, the resolutions do not
state facta,
The State sovereignty business now
troubles the Democracy, as having
bearing on the Louisiana difficulties,
State sovereignty was pretty well
tested dari ok tbe war and it was not
found to be of quite as much impor
tance as our nationality.
At Woaster, Friday last, the Da
mocraey celebrated tbe anniversary
of tbe battle of New Orleans, or, in
other words, attempted to do honor
to tbe memory of General Juckson,
A large number of prominent men
were present, and tbe bones of Jack
on were vigorously rattled by th
youthful patriot, Gov. Allen.
We hope tbe Democracy of this sec
tion will riso equal to tbe occasion
Democrats everywhere are "indigna
ting" about Grant and Sheridan, and
our fellows should not be behind. We
expect to see a call In the Advertiser
calling the sovereigns together to lis
ten to the indignant pipings of the
leaders.
Tbe New Orleans trouble and Gen
Sberid&n's statement that life and
property were precarious in that city
and Louisiana, has brought to the
front numerous protests from tbe Con
servative element in tbat much troub
led State. Down there, by way of ex
planation, Conservative means rebel,
Among tbe protests was one signed
by Bishop Wilmer in which it was
asserted that Sheridan had not stated
the facts. But a few days previous to
this this same Wilmer testified before
the Congressional Committee "tbat
there was no security in that
(this) State for either life or proper
ty." This shows what the statements
of Saatherc Conservatives are worth.
That "innocent amusement" that
we used to bearabaut during tbeyears
of '62, 'C3, and '64, when leading Un
ion men, together with President
JAnooln, were threatened with assaesl
cation by Southerners has broken out
again. Now Sheridan has been threat
ened witb a sudden taking oO in New
Orleans, and President Grant in
Washington has bsen threatened with
assassination. Bjth have received a
number of threatening letters, all of
which breathe the well known rebel
spirit. Of course we do not anticipate
that tbe threats will be carried out, but
these things show that tbe Southern
people do not accept tbe results of tbe
rebellion, and that they expect to rule
this country as of old.
The Cincinnati Commercial makes
very neat point against the Democ
racy when it says referring to the
Louisiana Legislative difficulty
"We are not able to see tbat State
sovereignty suffers any more in this
case than it did some months ago in
Arkansas, when the slender line of
blue coats kept armed mobs of State
sovereigns from cutting each other's
throats, and gave tbe conservative
squad the preference. We did not
observe at that time aay special
alarm among the Damocracy about
tbe subjugation of the aivereigoty of
Arkansas, and we have to say tbat
the greater part of the row about
State rights i passion anJ nonsense,
delusion, folly and madness."
for
All the vigorously Democratic pa
pers through the north are loud In
tbelr denunciation of military in
terference witb the organization of
the Legislature of Louisiana. They
entirely lose sight! cf the fact
or ignore it in order to bowl
that Wilts, the Democratic lead
er and the would-be-Speaker of
the House, after taking possession of
the Chair before anything cf an
election was held, called npoa the
troops to clear the lobby aud to pre
vent Republicans from leaving -the
House. This was done, but after
wards circumstances occurred that
spoiled Wiltz's and the Democratic
game, and the troops were obliged to
interfere to prevent bloodshed. Then
followed the old style howl.
Among those who are coming in
for their share of "trouble" in tbe
Pacific Mail investigation are a few
journalists, and what makes it espe
cially fearrul in their case is tbe fact
that all of them hunted down Con
gressmen in the Credit Mobilier ex
posure and tho Congressional salary
-teal. Abert, one of the disbursers of
money of the Pacific Mail Jobbery,
has testified tbat be paid Joseph Mc
Farland, who represents the Phila
de'phla Press and Boston Globe, $25
000; Wm. B. Shaw,, of the Boston
Transaripl, $15,000 ; Don Piatt, pro
prietor of the Washington Capital,
$5,000.
Dan. Piatt's case is the saddest of
all, for not only has lie been intense
ly virtuous in reference to Congress
men, but he has also roared like a
lioness deprived of her whelps in ref
erence to almost every act of the Ad
ministration and tbe Republican par
ty. He charged dishonesty to tbe
'right and left, and was so Impressive
in his denunciation ot stealing, and so
sarcastic towards those whom he
charged of abstracting money from
the public purse, tht people had got
the idea that virtue, both public and
private, found a resting place in him
tbat he was the beginning and end
of it. Alas 1 then, how sad
was his fill how easy be. fell.
Five thousand dollars brought this
paragon of virtue down. Only $5,000 !
Think of it. Why the commonest
Congressman is cot bought for less
than $10,000, while the average rate
is $25,000.- We feel bid about this.
It is tbe hardest blow we have bad to
endure for a long time. A Journalist
bought for such a paltry sum, and tbe
one of all others who claimed the
greatest virtue. Where shall we
turn our eyes now tbat Don has fall
en ? To whom shall we look for en
lightenment in honesty ?

Washington, Jan. 9. The follow

HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIV.
OF THE MISSOURI.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan 8.
To the lion. IF. IT. Belknap, .Secre
tary of War, Washington, D. C. :
I have the honor to submit tbe fol
lowing brief report of affairi as they
occurred here in the organization of
the State Legislature, Jan. 4tb, 1675.
I was uot in com maud of the military
department until 9 o'clock at night
of the 4tb inst., but I fully endorse
and am willing to be held responsible
for the acts of the military as conser
vators of tbe public peace upon that
day. Duringtne fewdays which I was
in tbe city prior to the 4 Lb of January
the general topic of conversation was
the scenes of bloodshed that were
halle to occur on that day, and I re
peatedly beard threats of assigna
tion of the Governor, and regrets ex
pressed that be was not killed on the
14th of September last. Also threats
of tbe assassination of the Republi
can members of the House In order to
secure the election of the Democratic
Speaker. I also know of the kidnap
ping by the banditti of Mr. Cousin
one of tbe members elect of tbe legis
lature. In order to preserve peace
aud make tbe State House safe for a
peaceable assembling of the legists
ture.Gener&l Emory, uoon tbe requisi
tion of tbe Governor, stationed troops
in the vicinity of tbe building. Ow
ing to these precautions the legisla
ture assembled in the State House
without any disturbance of tbe peace.
At 12 o'clock William vigers, the
Clerk of the last Hoa-e of Repres
entatives, proceeded t cau tne roll
as according to law he was empower
ed to do. .One hundred and two le
gally returned members ,auswered
to their names. Of th-s num
ber 52 were Republicans and 50 Demo
crats, ttelore entering the House.
L. A. Wiltz had been selected in. tbe
caucus as tbe Democrat nominee for
Speaker, aud Michael Habn as the Re
publican nominee. Vigers had not
finished announcing the result, when
one of the members (Billen. of La
Fourcbe.) nominated Wiltz for tern
porary Speaker. Vigers promptly de-
dared tbe motion out of order at that
time when some one put the question
aud amid cheers, on the Democratic
side of tbe House, Wiltz dashed on to
the rostrum, pushed aside Vieera. seiz
ed the Speaker's chair and gavel and
declared himsei: the bpeaker. A pro
test against these arbitrary and un
lawful proceedings was promptly
made by the members of tbe majori
ty, but Wiltz paid no attention to these
protests, ana on motion from some
one on the Democratic side of the
House it was declared that one Tree'
zevant was nominated and elected
Clerk of tbe House. Treezevant at
once sprang forward and occupied the
Clerk's chair amidst the wlldeet con
fusion over the whole House. Mayor
Wiltz then again on another nom
(nation from the Democratic side
of tbe House, declared one Flood
was elected Sergeant-at-Arms,
and ordered a certain number
of assistants to be appointed.
Instantly a larae number of men
throughout the halL who had been
admitted on various pretexts, such as
reporters and members, friends and
spectators, turned down the lapels of
their coats, upon which were pinned
blue ribbon badges, on which were
printed In gold letters tbe words "As
sistant Sergeant-at-Arms," aud the
Assembly was in tbe possession of the
minority and the White League of
Louisiana had made good its threat
of seizing tbe House, many of tbe
Assistant Sergeants-at-Arms being
well known as Captains of the White
League Companies in this city. Not
withstanding the suddenness ofi this
movement, the leading Republican
members had not failed to protest
again and again against this revolti
tionary action of the minority, but all
no purpose, and many of the Re
publicans rose and left the House in a
body, together witn the i.ierK, Vigers,
who carried with him the original
roll of the bouse as returned by the
Secretary of State. Tbe excitement
was now very great aud the acting
Speaker directed the Sergeaut-at-
Arnis to prevent the egress or ingress
members or others, and sev
eral exciting scuffles ensued in
which Knives and pistols were
drawn, and for a few moments it
seemed as If blood would be shed
At this juueture Dupree, a Democrat
member from Orleans .Parian,
moved that the military power of the
general Government be invoked to
preserve peace, and that a Committee
appointed to wait on General De
Trobriand the commanding officer of
the United States troops stationed at
tbe State House, and request his as
sistance in clearing the lobby. The
motion was adopted. A Committee
five, of which Dupree was made
Chairman, was sent to wait upon Gen
eral De Trobriand, and soon returned
with that officer, who was accom
panied by two of his staff officers.
As General De Trobriand walked to
the Speaker's desk, loud applause
burst from tbe Democratic side of tbe
House. General De Trobriand asked
the acting Speaker if it was not pos
sible for him to prestrve order with
out appealing to him to preserve or
der as a United states Army omeer,
Wiltz said it was not, whereupon the
Ueneral proceeded to the lobby and
addressing a few words to the excited
crowd peace was at once restored. Ou
motion of Mr. Dupree, Mr. Wiltz, in
the name of the General Assembly of
tbe State of Louisiana, thanked Gen
eral De Trobriand for his interference
behalf of law and order, aud the
General withdrew. The Republicans
had now generally withdrawn from
the Hall, and united in signing a pe
tition to the Governor, stating their
grievances, and asking his aid, which
petition was signed by 52 legally re
turned members of the House. It is
my possession. Immediately sub
sequent to the action of Wiltz in ejec
ting tbe Clerk or the old House, Xsiil
ien moved that two 'gentlemen from
the parish of De Soto, one from Bien
ville, aud one from Iberia, wbo bad
not been returned by the Returning
Board, be sworn in as members, and
they were accordingly -sworn in by
Wiltz and took their seats as mem
bers cf tbe House. A motion was
then made that the House proceed
with its permanent orgauization, and
accordingly the roll was called by
Treezevant, acting Clerk, and Wiltz
was declared speaker and Treezevant
Clerk of the House.
Acting on tbe protest made by the
majority of the House, the Governor
requested the Commanding General of
tne department to aid mm in restor
ing order to enable the legally return
members of the House to proceed
with its organization according tolaw.
This request was reasonable, and in
accordance with law. Remembering
vividly tbe massacres that took place
this city on the assembling of the
Constitutional Convention iu 1S6G, at
Mechanics' Institute, and believ
tbat tbe lives or tne members of
Legislature were or would be en
dangered in case an organization un
der tbe law was attempted, the posse
was furnished with a request that care
should be taken tbat no membtrof
Legislature 'returned by the Re
turning Board should be ejected from
floor. This military posse per
formed its duty under directions from
Governor of the State, and re
moved from tbe floor of the Houe
those.persons wbo bad been illegally
seated and wbo bad no right to be
there. Whereupon several rose and
the House, aud tbe remaining
memkers preceded to effect an organi
zation under tbe State laws. In all
this turmoil in which bloodshed was
mminent, fie military posse behaved
with great Jiscretion. When Wiltz,
usurping Speaker 'of the House,
called for troops to prevent blood they
were given him. When the Gover
nor of the State called for a posse for
the same purpose and to enforce law
was furnished also. Had this not
been done it is my firm belief that
scenes of bloodshed would have en

THE SPECIE QUESTION.
The Substitution of Silver for Fractional
Currency—Statement of the
Director of the Mint.
In response to the requc.it from your
correspondent for information con
cerning the practicability for redeem
ing fractional currency with silver
corns, and keeping silver ia circula
tion as money. Dr. J. H. Linderman,
Director of the Mints, makes the fol
lowing statement :
The condition of tbe silver market
is such as to favor the obtaining of
silver bu'.lion sufficient to keep the
mints running at their full capacity
on more favorable terms than at any
previous time. The greater portion
of the German stock of silver coins.
estimated by the best authorities at
$350,000,000 of United States money,
remains undisposed of, and will no
doubt soon seek any favorable mar-
Ret tnat may be opened to it, since
fhe demand for silver in Europe and
India is quite limited at tbe present
time, ana me recent explorations on
the Comstock lode, Nevada, are such
as to carry the production of silver
bullion in the United States for the
next five years very greatly above the
yield for tbe last five years. At the
same time no diminution in the an'
nual product of Mexico is expected by
those familiar with tbe subject Ta
king the German surplus and the es
timated production of Mexico and
me cniiea fc tales as guaranteeing a
supply largely in excess of any proba
ble demand for coins or manufactur
ing purposes, it would appear quite
certain that the amount required for
coinage in the United States can be
obtained without increasing or even
maintaining the existing rate or
price. The price in London is 5)
pence per ounce, British standard,
925-1000 fine, or $1.12 9-10 in United
States money, against 61 pence in
lfxw, a depreciation of over 6 per cent.
The price in New York is about $1.12
per ounce. United States standard,
900-1000 fine: and on tbe Pacific
coast about $1.12 par ounce, United
States standard. Taking the New
ork price, the bullion or export val
ue of the dollar, in subsidiary coins
is 90 4-10 cents. Tbe value of tbe
greenback dollar, witb gold at 112, is
89 2-10 cents, or 1 2-10 cents less than
the dollar in subsidiary silver coin,
Director of the Mint. A SUPPLY OF FROM TEN TO FIFTEEN
MILLIONS TO BE OBTAINED.
In the event of provisions by law
being made for tbe substitution of
Silver Coin for Fractional Curency,
it would be necessary to prepare a
stock of from ten to fifteen millions
before commencing to issue tbe Sil
ver Coin. The extensive new mint
at San Fransisco and the mint at Car
son would be ample to -furnish tbe
Coin for the States of the Mississippi
Valley, while tbe mint at Philadel
phia would prepare those required for
the Atlantic States. The cost to tbe
sub-treasuries and depositories in tbe
Mississippi v alley, would not exceed
one per cent, and the export value of
Silver Coin would have to advance
from one to two per cent, above the
value of United States Notes to war
rant tbe gathering up of these Coins
aud tntir. transmission to New York
for export.
EFFECT OF INCREASED PRODUCTION
ON THE EUROPEAN MARKETS.
In estimating tbe effect of the large
ly increased production of the mines
of the United States upon the market
price of Europe we must first consider
what tbe probable demand for Coins
in the various Europeau countries
will be. Great Britain is liberally
supplied with Silver Coin, and the
same may be said of France, Belgium,
Switzerland, tbe Scandinavian States
and the .Netherlands. Like the Uni
ted States, Russia, Austria, Italy and
Spain have a forced Currency of un
convertible Paper Money, and while
they continue in that condition they
will require but very little Silver for
coinage purposes, and it would be
quite safe to say tbat the German
stock will be sufficient to meet the
demands of Silver for coinage in tbe
countries just referred to for some
years to come. This would leave the
product of tbe United States and
.Mexico to supply India and Chin
The production of the Comstock lode
after the 1st of April next will be lim
ited only by the milling capacity,
which is being largely increased. If
the German Government should in
the meantime gradually dispose of its
accumulated stock, the coming sum
mer will probably bring a lower fprice
for Silver than has heretofore prevail
ed. a
of
THE PROBABILITIES OF MAINTAINING
A SILVER CIRCULATION.
As a general proposition, it may be
stated that if the Gold premium is
kept below 110, and the present price
of Silver is not. increased, of which
there does not appear to be any pro
bability, there would be no difficulty
in maintaining the circulation of
Silver Coins. Even if Gold should
advance to 113, it is quite certain tbat
Silver will depreciate sufficient to
still maintain a Siiver circulation.
The Bullion from tbe Comstock lode
contains about forty per cent Gold,
the weight of 1,000 ounces consisting
of from 930 to 950 ounces of Silver,
10 of base metals, and from 40 to GO
ounces of Gold. This large increase
in the Silver production of the United
States must not be lost sight of in
considering the Gold premium in the
future. No country has ever passed
from a currency of unconvertible pa
per Money to a Specie basis without
encountering some uncertainties as to
the proper course to be pursued for
the consummation of that end, or
without more or less sacrifices. This
country appears to be no exception to
the rule. It would be very easy for

OVER THE FALLS.
A Young Woman commits Sulcide by
Jumping from the Railroad Bridge
and Over the Fails.
Last night, shortly after 3 o'clock, a
young married woman, named Julia
Theuer, a cabinet maker, committed
suicide by jumping from tbe Central
railroad bridge into the river, and
then ovsr the upper falls. The facts
of the melancholy case are as follows :
Mrs Theuer, wbo is a daughter of Mr.
John WidOrau, of Xo. 20 Herman
street, Jave birth to a child about a
year ago. The child died, and Mrs.
I heuer lost her reason through grief.
Eight months ago she was removed
t the Insane Asylum at Utica, from
which she returned two months ago,
but not altogether cured of her terri
ble malady. She was allowed to
walk out, but never without a com
panion. Last evening she went out
in company with ber sister, Barbara
Widman, and at tbe former's request
they went together to look at the
falls from the railroad bridge. Tbe
peculiar manner in which Mrs. The
uer acted made her sister suspicious.
and she tried to persuade her to leave.
When they reached tbe west end of
the bridge, at the north side. Julia
suddenly turned and attempted to
jump over the railing. Her sister
tried to hold h?r back, but with a
wild exertion of power, she broke
loose and jumped to tbe ice below.
Miss Widman screamed and attracted
the attention of the flagman at the
foot of Water street and a brakeman
in t ell's saloon, and though they im
mediately rushed out, they reached
the spot only in time to see Mrs. The
uer walk steadily to the brink of the
precipice and p!unge into the awful
depths below.
Miss Widmau ran at once and
gave the alarm to her father, brother
and the husbaud of tbe unfortunate
woman, and tbey commenced a search
for the body, but were soon compelled
to desist ou account of tbe storm and
darkness. Rochester Express.

The Annual Auction Sale—An Increase
in Premiums Over Last Year of
More than $12,000.
The pews of Plymouth Church were
sold at auction last evening before an
audience tbat filled -the building to
overflowing. Mr." Beecber entered
the building some time before the
sale began and passed from group to
group, greeting an with much cheer
fulness. When the time arrived for
starting the sale. Mr. Beecher mount
ed the platform, when be was greeted
with loud applause. Mr. - Beecher
said :
Gentlemen, vou need not look at
tbe clock ; that is a church clock ; tbe
minister's watch ia what we go by
nere.
(Laughter and applause.)
After holding his watch in his hand
a lew moments, he continued :
Ladies and gentlemen, in the year
in the month of January, tti
building was first opened for public
worship. I remember a remark of
friend of mine wbo now represents
part of tbis city in the national legis
lature in Congress at Washington
He was present on the Sunday nignt,
of the first day on which tbe church
was opened. He looked all' about
he saw the galleries filled and tbe
seats below, and turning to a lady by
nis side, be said to her, "Madam,
give you sixty days for the novelty
of this thing to wear off"; it is not
possible to fiil such a large house
tbis continuously." Since then tbat
geutleman bas been au admirable
merchant, one of the few that never
suffered bankruptcy ; and if he had
been no better merchant than he was
a prophet, be would have been broken
up and in the poor-bouse long ago,
If I thought that you came to this
house as a matter of fashion, or mere
ly lor tue sake of some intellectual en
loymenc, I should be ashamed to say
a single word to encourage you. But
I have tbe testimony of too many
men, of thousands, that tbe gospel
tbat has been preached in tbis bouse
bas not been presetted to please men
merely, but to make tnem better,
nave tne teseimouy or your -own ex
perience tnat you bave been in your
business helped by religion, and the
way wnicn you have gone through
your sorrows in your family, by- the
spirit of trust which you have ob
tained here, that you have had better
ideas of manhood, of citizenship, of
patriotism and love to uod and love
to man from coming here. I believe
tbat that only leads you to come from
year to year and purchase seats in
this bouse, where you may still have
the bread of life. All through this
painful period of my. life, at a time
when most men have earned tbe right
to cease irom labor, 1 am unable to do
so. 1 accept the trial with patience,
with cheerfulness, ' and with tbat
trust in God which I preach to you
and it is my desire to go through
trouble in such a way as that I may
not blush afterwards when I preach to
you now to bear trouble now to car
ry sorrow. I have one more little
matter to propose to you, and ask
your assent I desire the consent of
tbe audience that pew No. 49 be
marked off from the saleable pews,
and if you will be kind enough to
mars: it ou I will tell you the reason
and that is, we want to assign it to
the Rev. Mr. Halliday. He is a man
without jealousy or envy, but still be
knows I have my pew without pay
ing for it, and in order to keep up
good-will and fellowship among the
elders of the church it is thought best
to let him bave bis pew on the same
terms. Applause. 2fl Y. World.
Railroad Construction in 1874.
The It til road Gazette publishes
detailed statement showing tbe length
of railroad constructed during tbe past
year, which is of special interest as
indicating tbe extent of reaction in
railroad building consequent upon the
panic. During the seven years be
ginning with 18G7 and ending with
1873 34,351 miles of road were con
structed, averaging 4. 90S miles a year.
TheconstructioDS in tbe earlier of
these years were found to be highly
profitable to the promoters, and the
creation of railroad enterprises became
mania, the constructions increas
ing each year until, in 1S71, 7,222
miles were built, and in 1S72, 7,340
miles, rue speculation reached its
climax in the latter year, and in the
uimcuity or procuring subscriptions
capital compelled a contraction of
these operations during the following
The market, however had be
come so surfeited witb tbe new secur
and many of tbe new companies
were so embarassed lrom tbe uitlicul
of obtaining the necessary loans
that In September of 1S73, the specula
tion broke down of its own weight
and originated a panic the effects of
which run aud bave since continued
through every department of busi
ness. From these causes, the con
structioiis ia 1873 were only about one-
bair the extent or those or each of the
two preceding years : and last year
new road built was only one-half
that of 1S73, or 1,923 miles. The con
structions of tbe last two years may
classified into tbe following section
groups of States.

The Railroad Gaztfte makes the
following remarks on the character of
roads built last year : "An unus
ually large proportion are almost
purely of local interest, and several
almost private roads intended to
serve some mine or furnace or some
little group of mines. An unusually
large proportion, as was to be expect
ed considering tbe financial condition
the country, are cheap railroads,
uo less than 303 miles of the new
road, or 18.7 per cent is of 3 feet guage
very light and cheap. Nearly
half of this is intended chiefly or
wholly to serve mining districts."
Considering the facts here stated, and
tbat the prices or labor and mater
ials have been greatly reduced within
past year, it may be concluded
the outlay on the 1,923 milss is
much below the cost of an equal
of road during any of the seven
preceding years. Probablv twentv-
to thirty millions maybe taken
covering the entire cost of the con
structions of last year.
