The stone blockade of Char 'eston
har5or is still the theme Of discuss on in
Europe. 1t seems that the British gov
ernment instructed Lord Lyons, when
the measure was preparing, that such a
pan, as the stone blockade would seem
t imply despair of the restoration of the
Union II the professed object of the war;
for it never could be the wish of the
United States Government to destroy
cities from which their own country was
TO derive a portion Of it's riches. Such
a plan could only be adopted as meas
ure o. revenge, and as an irrcmtliabie
injury against az enemy. Lord Lyons
was further told, that even as sch.lne
of embittered and sanguinary war, such
a measure could not be justifable 1t
would be plot against the commerce
of all nations, and against the free inter
course of,he Southern States with the
civilized world. Lord Lyons was desi-
red to speak in this sense to Mr.. Seward,
who it was hoped, would disavow the IL
legal project. Now, however, the pro-
ject having been carried iato effect at
Charleston, Lord Lyons will be instruct
ed to make no further representations TO
Mr.. Seward, With view to prevent
similar acts of destruction at other ports.

Secretary Chase on Making
Paper Money Legal Tender.

1t seems that Socretory Chase has re-
commended, though reluctantly, it is said,
shat the United States demand notes shall
be made legal tender for the payment
of debts. This desire he has communi,
Gated to the Finance committees of Con-
gress.
1t is not stated that Mr.. Chase finds in
the Constitution any authority for this
measure; but that he bases its expediency
on the ground that the heavy expendi-
lures entailed by the war, and the recent
suspension of specie payments by the
banks, have rendered the employment of
United States notes, as substitute for
coin, imperative.
The object of Mr.. Chase and other
advocates of this new financial measure
appears to be, according to their own
declarations, co force the people to take
Government paper as an equivalent for
coin, making it penal and mark of dis
loyalty for any nau to refuse so to do
As well might it be made penal and dis
loyal for man to cease using coffee, OF
to substitute rye therefor, on the ground
that it is rabbiag the Government of its
revenue.

few important and responsible positions,

of New York city, and lineal descend,

Headstrong" In 1S43 the Whig party
elected him member of the twenty.
eighth Congress. In l847 he was chosen
Lieutenant, Governor, aud the year fol-

His next appearance on the political
stage was as United States Senator fer
New York, which Office he assumed in
1851, and held for six years with credita-
BILE ability. His antecedents and char
acter would seem to fit him well for the

A Candid Admission,

The New York Tribune in late issue
thus honestly avows the political mistakes
and errors of Judgment it has made. Ii
says:
ave notice that several of our cotem-
poraries assail Mr.. Russell of the London
Times with considerable bitterness, be
cause some positive predictions OF his. as
for instance, one or two in reference to
Messrs Mason and Slidell, have been
faisifed by the event This seems to us
had fairly got under way, prophets were
plenty, who foretold that the Northern
Democracy would make q common cause
with the revolving shareholders, and we
well remember that prominent gentle
man of this city, whose sympathies with
secession were then uudisgnised, one day
declared in our hearing that, if it ever
came to fighting, the first blood would be
shed in the streets of New York. Or, to
recall still more striking instance, we
all remember Mr.. Stewards foreteIing at
the New England Dinner in this city, in
December, 1850, that the comMotiou
would all be over in sixty days from that
time. a we'll as his subsequent repeated
assurances that in ninety days the strng
gle wonld be finished No, no; all who
undertake to tell US what is going to hap
pen hereafter are likely to mistake some-
times aud Mr. Russell is no more to
blame than any other soothsayer whose
proguoss has turned out to be erroneous.
The Tri6une's recollection is good
We filed away its predictions at the time
they were made, together with some OF
a different character, which we put on
record in the Enqairer. The progress
of events proved US to be the best pro-
phet of the political flu ure, as ours
We're realized for the country. We hard
ly know of political prediction or view
which has been taken Of our affairs, for
years, by the leading Republican pa
pers or Republican statesmen that was
not proven to be grossly false or de-
cep'ive If any one can remember such
phenomenon, it ought to be brought
forward. Those who followed the 7Ttb-
uns and it's friends have been mistaken
at every step they have taken, and yet
they are as apparently confident in the
correctness of their Judgment as ever.
We should think, after aRhat had trans
pired, that the Republican leaders would
distrust their prophetic vision and the
justice of their views, but constant error
and its exposure has only served to rem,
der them more dogmatic and intolerant
in regard to the sentiments of others,
while they admit their past tallacies and
btsnders. They are the blind teachers
of the people, aud lead all who follow
them into the ditcn of ruin.
