nence that men should insist upon
gold and silver basis or STANDARD,
when they themselves refuse to re-
deem in either, and when no currency
that is known is acknowledged to rep
resent either. It is only by refer
ence to the old syssem of relative
values among the commodities Of a
country, as compared with each other,
and illustrated by the daily barter and
exchange among neighbors, as con-
stituting the just and proper stand
ards by which to determine the claims
of all conflicting parties. Gold and
silver, the invention of society as
standards, set aside by society itself
as standards, are not the authorities
which should govern in the consider
alton of this subject.

the sound and fury are necessary to
prevent the detection OF. the sense, or
rather the want of it, Stump speak
ing has too much kept our people
from reading. They were too easily
satisfied to have the labor of thought
taken from their own minds, and to
use their oracle's tongues in place of
their own eyes. The substitution of
tho press for the stump will be the
inevitable and profitable result of. the
enlargement of our Congressional
District, in the improvement equally
of politicians and people.

There is very little in the radicalism
of Massachusetts to admire, but the
grim persistency with which they
deny Benjamin F. Butler access to
their official pastures Those merci-
less old Puritans of the Republican
school tolerate the restless Buffers
presence in their nominating conven-
tions, and they let hirr exhibit his
apostacy IN speeches of a most fero-
cious and detestable character
that is all. The consistent, honest
Massachusetts, Republicans, like Dana,
Quincy, Andrews & Co., deal with the
former advocate for the Presidency of
Mr.. Jefferson Davis as the Merchant
of Venice did with Shylock. They
tolerate his presence on the political
''Rialto,'' but when Butler makes a
frantic dash at some Office which
would give him an honorable position,
they slam the door in his face and
say, .'Youo will do to make stump
speeches, General Butler, but the
offices of Massachusetts, are for better
men than you" They have chained
Butler to the oar of the splendidly
decorated galley in which ''Col Bull
lock" their candidate for Governor,
sits clothed in purple and linen. And
the, ,frightful efforts of the late Military
Governor of Louisiana to "come up
a little higher are very diverting.
They remind us, in their ludicrous
want of success, of the attempts of
sea-turtle to right himself when he
has been turned upon his back.
There is a lively movement of four
huge 6n-like feet, most hideous
protrusion of head and peck-but
nothing comes of it, and the turtle
remains in a most uncomfortable po-
sition until he is converted into soup
and steaks. IF Butler had have fought
half as hard to take Fort Fisher as he
did to carry the nominating conven-
ton at Worcester, the other day,
younger New England General would
not have accomplished what the emo
BILE Verres'' declared to be impossible.

The COTTON LoAN.-A letter from
Secretary Seward to Minister Adams
has been made public, which, in gen
eral terms, sets forth that the United
States has never and never will as
sumo any of the debts contracted by
the Confederates. This is in con-
sequence of the late ruling by the
British Vice-Chancellor, in a suit in
which the United States, was u party,
that we are bound to assume and pay
the Confederate cotton loan. Mr..
Seward has directed Mr.. Adams to
repudiate this decision, and, if neces-
sary, to bring the matter to the notice
Of Earl Russell. The United States
will insist on its claim to the restora-
ton OF cotton held by the English
merchants as security for their ad-
vances to the ''Confedsracy."

Standards OF Value.

Gently, in the Convention, involving
the money standards of value in the
South. at sundrv periods during the
last four years of wfr, exhibits rather
She antiquities than makes clear and
elucidates the difficulties of the sub
,ject~ The brokers, money-dealers
and merchants have short mode of
disposing of these matters, which the
Statesman and jurist will be careful
not to emulate. The subject is one
OF great nicely, and, without proper
standards of judgment, must only lead
Ito confusion in the popular mind,
and errors in the judgments of the
Courts. We have need to begin with
leading ideas on any subjects of snch
novelty. The leading idea must, if
possible, grasp in limine, the central
principle of the question. Whe,.
banks stop specie payments, gold and
silrer cease TO be the proper standard Of
patue for any other commodities. The
stoppage of their use for such pur-
poses, by the banks, at once elevates
them to an artificial value. They
cease to be standards regulating other
values, and become, of themselves,
articles of trade, subject to all the
caprices of the market. Men, having
Interior objects, alarmed by war, or
, engaged in speculation, will have
them at any prices. They are hoard
ed, and, like silver plate, dive incon-
tinently out of sight. What nos
sense, then, to insist upon them as of
fixed, determined value, because of
their intrinsic qualities, which, in
ordinary times, constitute them a
standard. AS necessary consequence
OF this extraordinary and artificial ap-
probation of the value of this pre-
cious metal, is the inevitable depre-
clation, in value, of all the substituted
currencies. You are neither to re-
cognlze gold, silver nor Confederate
money as standards by which to esti-
mate the value of anything, for the
simple reason that they themselves
are vague in value, their merit
rising or falling with all the caprices
OF war, all the fancies Of the multi
tude, and all the new necessities
arising from the fuctuation of general
events. A success of your army, to-
, day, will raise the valne of your paper
currency, and diminish that of gold;
a reverse of fortune, tomorrow,
changes this relation, and the gold
rises and the currency becomes de-
pressed. To what standard, then,
will you refer, by which to establish,
at another period, what should be
the ruling value of an article which
you sold on a credit, at the time of
these fluctuations of your ordinary
money standard? Waving all consi-
deration of articles of foreign export,
such as salt, iron,- &C., you have
clearly to resort to the old domestic
principles, as known through the
laws of exchange and barter. In the
ordinary intercourse Of society, dur
y ing the last two years, you had
practical exposition of it in the good
sense of the people, who, disregard
ing the gold and silver which they
could not get, and the currency which
could procure them nothing, resorted
to the primitive mode of exchanging
their commodities, according to the
value by which they we're severally
known anterior to the war; Thus,

proper standards for the estimation
of the prices in all other commodities.
The exceptional cases are those of
foreign production, such as we have
mentioned-say salt and iron. The
import of these, involves the neces-
sity. of new charges, increased
by the vast expense of freight, in
volved in the absence of any security
from insurance and the great peril in
! CURED in the transportation. During
the war, all imported articles ranged
at prices which had no parallel in
pacific periods. It was not SO with
domestic articles. The necessities of
the country, the pressure of the laws,
the natural social influences, made
neighbors less exacting in their de-
mands; and while nails, iron, salt and
many other articles of foreign origin
ranged at prices from four to six
thousand per cent. on the old prices,
corn commSnded but from four to
fourteen dollars, as against single
dollar ip ordinary times. Cotton; at
a late period in the. war, say during
January of the present year, sold at
S1.25 in currency Suppose this cot
ton now to be rated at the artificial
value in gold at that period, it's value
would not exceed one cent per pound.
Would it be just, or right, or reason
able, to adopt such standard, when,
at no period during the war did cot
ton sell for less than seven and eight
cents, and when, prior to the war, it
would command ten Or twelve cents
In anymarket in the world. How
can the. consciences Of men reconcile
themselves to judgment of this
kind based on such standard, at the
expense of all propriety and honesty,
especially when the same cotton, thus
disposed of at 81. 25 in the currency,
brought forty-fve to fifty cents in
sterling at Nassau? You are simply
to deduct from this latter price the
extraordinary expenses of freight and
shipment, and what remains will
show you the true value of the article
at the time in all parts of the world.
The true ruling will be to find out, in
respect to all afticles of domestic
production, what we're the average
prices ruling for the three years pre-
ceding the war, and thus determine
what should be the estimate of value
in respect to the same articles sold
during the war. OF course, there are
numerous cases having an exceptional
character, and these should be deter
mined upon their own merits, accord
ing to the peculiar circumstances
rerating in each case The variety
Of these cases, and the novelty of the
circumstances, seem to be suggestive
of the necessity of a special court for
the adjudication of all such cases, to
which court should be accorded @
certain equitable jurisdiction. Some
thing of this kind will be needful. if
justice is designed to be done to all
Parties, in regard to sales and con-
tracts, on credit, made of all domes-
tic articles during the progress of the
war; and the standards of Judgment
for such a court, having the equity of
relations always in its eyes, must be
found in the peculiar conditions of
each several case. To insist upon
any arbitrary standard, for period

The period assigned for the election
OF members to Congress is so exceed
lngly> short, that candidates will enjoy
but little opportunity of discoursing
to the people from the stump. This
Will tend greatly to embarrass those
candidates who build rather upon the
appetites than the tastes of the
people, rather upon the demands of
the belly than the brain. There viii
be something good in this; and while
the people Will lose something in the
way of oral instruction, they will, at
the same time, escape much wrong
doctrine, bad grammar, and very vii
famous speechifying. Theis tastes
may possibly improve in the absence
of ill-constituted teachers. In the
present Large size of our Cong1es-
sional Districts, and in the prospect
of their increasing size in future
years, it will become q physical in
possibility with candidates to take the
stump at every election precinct. The
result will be that they will be COM
PEELED to approach the proposed con-
stituents through the press. Many
good results will grow from this ne
cessity. Writing for the press is a
severer ordeal than speaking to the
people. It will be incumbent on
candidates to prove themselves, not
only men Of sense, but tolerable
grammarians. This will improve the
qualities of style and thinking of the
party writing. He will be more scru-
pulous in what he says, and more So
licitous in his manner of saying it.
He will have to read book occasion
ally, study document, scrutinize a
law, and perhaps get an occasional
lesson in ancient history, if not il
that Of his own country. At all
events, he zsmst improve somewhat in
orthography. Bad spelling, makes
bad pronunciation, and, curing the
one, the speaker will be apt to i'm
prove In the other respect Briefly,
the necessity of transferring himself
from the stump to the press, will pro-
badly cure a great many of the most
villainous defects in the training,
pronunciation, tone, manner, gram
mar and spelling of senators and
orators. Nor viii the effect be Of
less important consideration to the
people Instead of lazily listening to
bad harangues, the citizen will be
compelled to take his newspaper, and
will thus obtain the improved utter
ances of his political oracle and
teacher. He Will then, indeed, COM
mune with many besides, and dis
cover that his immediate representa-
tives is not, as he now supposes, an
universal genius. He himself will
improve IN read1ng, Wr1tlng, spelling;
in tone and sentiment, Under differ
ent class of teachers; and will dis
cover, that a roar does not really
represent an idea, or squeak SEN
timent, or a howl and growl an opin-
ion. And it will be some increase of
his satisfaction, that he can discover
the Specification of a sentence, with
out witnessing that painful saving
and slashing of the atmosphere, to
which the wretched right arm of the
speaker Is so commonly subjected, in
the straits of the orator, struggling
in pursuit of the reluctant word or
thought. In all respects, there must

the call this day made by Council for q
public meeting, to decide upon what should
be done in relation to the establishment of
public market. We have a few sugges-
tlons to be made on this subject, which VIC
may as well utter in this place. A public
market should not be in close propinouity
to the great thoroughfare of trade, nor on
the central and main street. While it
should be located as conveniently as posi-
bic to serve the purposes of the citizens at
large, 1t is no such pleasant or proper OBJ
ject in the public eyes or nostrils, as to
occupy too conspicuous place in the walks
OF the public. market between Assem-
bly, and Gates streets might be as conve-
niently located for the benefit of the public
as at the former site, and lot for the pur-
pose may, we think, be obtained at less
price than the city property may be sold
for, now lying on Main street-an admira-
BILE lot-where the former market stood.
We recommend that thQmarket stalls shall
be so constructed as to give an ample hall
above stairs for public meetings, and for
the use of exhibitions in general. 1t may be
MADE an excellent source of revenue to the
city.
